Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, one of the world's leading international law firms, was short-listed by IFLR for two of its Americas Awards. The winners will be announced at a ceremony at New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel on March 25, 2009.
Cadwalader was nominated for Restructuring Law Firm of the Year, and a matter on which the firm acted as counsel for CIFG Holding Ltd. was short-listed for Deal of the Year.
In the nominated transaction, Cadwalader represented CIFG, the holding company for CIFG's financial guaranty subsidiaries, along with its principal shareholders, Banque Populaire Group and Caisse d'Epargne Group, in reaching a final settlement with credit default swap counterparties and bondholders holding 98 percent of its gross par outstanding of ABS CDO exposures and certain specified CRE CDO exposures. The agreement successfully commutes approximately $12 billion in notional ABS CDO and CRE CDO exposures in exchange for a cash payment and equity consideration. The deal closed on January 22, 2009.
The firm's work on the transaction helped CIFG, which was faced with problematic credits, develop strategic alternatives to help improve its capital position. The firm had to overcome the challenge of structuring and negotiating a cash-and-equity solution acceptable to a broad range of counterparties who expected virtually unanimous participation, while satisfying the highly public missions of three primary insurance regulators (New York, France and Bermuda). The transaction demonstrated the willingness of policyholders to release their claims in exchange for a share in the potential upside that their release would enable, and it will serve as a model for future monoline insurer restructurings. The work on this matter required the contributions of a broad cross-section of the Cadwalader's interdisciplinary practice groups.
The firm's Restructuring Law Firm of the Year nod came in recognition of work not only on the CIFG transaction but on several other matters, including the representation of JPMorgan Chase as the administrative agent of certain loans in the Centro Properties Group cross-border debt restructuring.
"It is gratifying that IFLR has recognized the work of our dedicated and talented Financial Restructuring Department," said Chris White, Cadwalader's Chairman. "The group does an outstanding job of serving the business and legal needs of exceptional clients like CIFG, and the nominations are well-deserved."
These highly-regarded awards are based on detailed research from IFLR's team of journalists in consultation with private practice lawyers, in-house counsel and financing specialists at investment banks around the world.

At Beano.com, we're passionate about children's content. We work everyday to make sure that the kids who visit our website and app are encouraged to laugh – and they are kept safe whilst doing so. Sadly, that's not the case everywhere else on the internet.
We teamed up with YouGov and mental health charity Young Minds to ask British parents how they feel about their children's safety online. The results paint a clear picture. Nearly three-quarters of parents think the internet isn't a safe place for children, while the great majority feel it's been entirely left up to them as carers to ensure their child's online safety.
The internet is a great thing – it's letting the Beano entertain new audiences the world over for starters! It certainly isn't the 'big bad wolf' some scaremongers might make it out to be. And let's be realistic, older kids being online is an everyday given. But more needs to be done to allow for safer entertainment experiences online – and to help relieve some of the pressure on parents.
You can read more about the study below.
-Emma Scott
A state of the nation report from Beano.com has uncovered that three-quarters of parents do not believe the internet is a safe place for children. Less than a quarter (24%) say it is safe for kids to go online without an adult supervising.
As a result, an overwhelming majority of British parents feel the burden for ensuring their children remain safe whilst online, lies with them. When asked to suggest who should be responsible for ensuring the safety of their children using the internet, a resounding 95% felt that the onus is on themselves.
"It's like teaching your child to cross the road: you'll make sure they hold your hand when they're very young, but as they grow older you want them to assess the risks and stay safe more independently."
When asked who should be taking responsibility, nearly two thirds (64%) said the internet platforms, such as Google, should be leaders, whilst 42% opted for the Government and 42% picked school teachers. 16% of parents added that they expect older brothers or sisters to supervise younger children.
Ahead of Safer Internet Day on 6 February, the study of 2,000 parents of 6-12 year olds was commissioned by the media organisation to mark its new partnership with youth charity Young Minds and shine a light on the issues and concerns that parents face raising their children in fully digital age.
The data also unearthed how parents do try to 'police' their child's internet use. In fact, 30% even tell their children that they are able to monitor what sites they are visiting as a safety measure, despite not actually being able to. This percentage increases as kids get older – the figure reaches 39% for those with 11-year olds and 44% with 12-year olds.
71% of parents admitted that they did not understand how Snapchat works, whilst 55% said the same for Instagram.
The research also found that 69% of 6-12 year olds are more likely to use YouTube. Just 36% use the child-friendly YouTube Kids platform. Of those children who use YouTube, 64% of 10-year olds and 80% of 12-year olds are allowed to explore the platform unsupervised.
Last month YouTube came under fire from critics when one of its most followed stars, Logan Paul, who is popular with children, uploaded a video showing the body of a suicide victim.
The audience going online in the UK is getting younger and younger – as over three quarters of kids (76%) aged just 6 have access to internet enabled devices such as smartphones. By age 10 this is 92%, and 96% for 12-year olds.
A lack of awareness about popular social media sites was also revealed. 71% of parents admitted that they did not understand how Snapchat works, whilst 55% said the same for Instagram.
However, despite all these issues, many parents do say that their child's internet usage can be a good thing. 40% feel that it has a positive impact on their relationships with friends, whilst 30% felt the same about their child's relationship with their family and 33% said it impacts positively on their overall satisfaction with life. 57% of parents have spoken to their child by the age of 6 about this, informing them how to use the internet in a positive way.
Emma Scott, CEO of Beano Studios – which includes Beano.com – commented: "It is a real shame to see parents across the UK feeling so personally responsible for the online safety of their children. I hope that our findings will be taken on board by other media organisations and those in power, to ensure more thought and consideration goes into the content being created, as well as the online destinations our children actually visit. Whilst there is a lot of internet-scaremongering, it is refreshing to see 40% of parents find child's internet usage has a positive impact on their friendships. Internet safety and children's online consumption is an important theme Beano.com will return to throughout the year."
Emma Saddleton, Parents Helpline Manager at YoungMinds added: "The internet offers lots of amazing opportunities, but this research shows just how worried many parents are about the impact it can have on their children. Parents can't police everything their child does online, so it's important to have regular conversations about the internet from a young age, to take an interest in the apps and games your child is using and to set realistic boundaries."
"It's like teaching your child to cross the road: you'll make sure they hold your hand when they're very young, but as they grow older you want them to assess the risks and stay safe more independently. Above all, it's important to stay involved in what your child's doing online. By reassuring them that they can always talk to you openly if they're upset by something, parents can make a big difference."
*All figures, unless otherwise stated, are from YouGov Plc. Total sample size was 2018 parents of children aged 6 to 12. Fieldwork was undertaken between 11th – 17th January 2018. The survey was carried out online.*

The addiction to fiat money is huge. The value of this wealth on paper that circles the globe is difficult to estimate. The Bank for International Settlements guesses at $600 trillion dollars deduced by wading through tomes of data. Global gross national product is estimated at $50 trillion dollars yearly. If that figure is correct, the world is overextended by about 12 years of global production. All the credit and faith in government cannot pay for the debt that the International Society of Bankers has managed to create in the form of fiat money. The people of the world cannot pay the debt that has been created nor can the bankers except by printing more paper. How much of the debt is secured by real assets is impossible to say although a guess could be made based on the fractional reserve. Commercial banking has become addicted to creative banking procedures in an effort to create larger profits. Unfortunately, because of the complexity of a dozen creative banking instruments like SIVs and CDOs, even the best guess of the amount of real debt is probably impossible to calculate. The global banking economy is in an intimidating and complex situation.
The unease in banking and finance about subprime mortgages gives the world a tiny snapshot of what is ahead based on the current system in place. Other banking "derivatives" within the industry include private-equity, mutual funds, pension funds and hedge funds. This debt is a major issue since every piece represents a debt that must be repaid. When a creditor expects money, the demand must be met by the debtor. If enough default exists within the global banking economy or a smaller banking community, a house of cards scenario will ensue. The pursuit of the fractional reserve virtually guarantees that the global addiction to fiat money will backfire as bank write-offs for bad debt are posted.
Someone will bear the loss first. A banking conglomerate can bear catastrophic losses based on worthless credit that has been extended as debt. The infection can quickly become epidemic, much as the subprime mortgage problem spread to the entire mortgage industry and continues to proliferate in the global banking system. A collapse of the housing market along with a collapse of other asset markets is virtually inevitable based on the current global debt structure. The addiction to the illusion of money can create a global catastrophe as the International Society of Bankers actually possesses most of the gold and worthwhile assets as security including the people of the nations in debt. The slavery to this "New World Order of Banking" will become apparent to all involved. The reality is that this scenario is effectively in place. It just has not been noticed by most people yet. The reality of world addiction has not set in.
In the meantime, central banks or Federal Reserve bankers see the danger in the regional global markets and are ready to stand by with more fiat money to bolster liquidity where it is needed. Bankers require security and more often that security is becoming more speculative in nature. The International Society of Bankers has no intention of absorbing junk security. They clearly specify that they are not in the position to bail out mismanagement and malfeasance of the commercial banking and finance industry. Hyperinflation/devaluation caused by printing of more currency threatens to make some major currencies worthless. In order to overcome this plague, a redesign of the global banking and financial system seems in the immediate future. Quiet rumblings persist even now. This rumbling makes sense since national economies or even the global economy could be effectively shut down while the redesign and its negotiation are in the works. This would not only be counterproductive, but bite into further profits that the International Society of Bankers can make. In the meantime, commercial bankers are oblivious as they seek to pursue their regular course of business and profits in the hope that new global change will pass them by. ~ E.M.

Hello everyone!
We are eager to share with you some of the great connections that occurred at Foregen's recent attendance of South By Southwest Trade Show. The air was filled with anticipation on the heels of the recent publication of our first ever peer-reviewed research, and we are pleased to announce that we received a very positive reception that builds on our forward momentum.
Like last year, the primary purpose of our work at SXSW is to establish connections for future operations, look for additional potential partners, and to augment the company's physical presence. Secondary goals include educating visitors and spreading awareness about genital integrity and regenerative medicine.
Over the course of three and a half days, we (Robert Pitts, Director of Events, and Jordan Arel, Podcast Host) shared our mission and its progress with many supporters old and new, as well as made several professional connections that could be important for Foregen's expansion in the future. Continuing to build our supporter base as well as our professional network is critical as we continue on to animal trials and start thinking more about human trials in Foregen's next phases.
On the beginning of our first day we met with a very interested team of two based out of China. The man said that because he was born in India, he was intact and already well aware of the benefits of having foreskin. The woman, after asking many intelligent, probing questions, explained that their firm has experience helping several companies expedite the approval process for medical procedures in the U.S., by working through labs in China. We exchanged information and look forward to the potential of greatly reducing the period of approval from the FDA once our procedure is ready.
We also met some supporters on the first day who were very pleased to see us at SXSW. It is always inspiring to talk with our supporters, and to hear firsthand in-person how we give hope that one day genital integrity will be possible for all men.
We talked with a woman who hosts a large annual wellness event open to the public in Austin. She said there is a section specifically for Sexual Wellness, so this is a strong potential for a place to share our full, uncensored message, and we are looking into having a presence there next year.
On day two we started the day off when our friend Brendon Marotta, director of American Circumcision, came by for a couple hours to take some photos, drop off some signed copies of his film, and help spread the good news about the benefits of the foreskin and its regeneration. He continues to be extremely supportive of our mission and we met with him again later on.
Soon after Brendon arrived, one woman came by and was very excited to hear that we are seeking to regenerate the foreskin. She explained that she hosts a podcast on sexuality and relationships, and that from her own experience it is far preferable for men to keep their whole genitalia, for herself, for his pleasure, as well as for the sexual aspects of a relationship. We got her information for the potential of a future podcast to expand our support base, and Brendon was also happy to share his documentary with her and discuss the potential of a future podcast.
A little bit later we had a woman stop by to ask us some questions about our company size and our current stage of progress as a company. She seemed to intuitively understand our mission. She confirmed that, indeed, she was a urologist, as well as working for a company that does translations for medical companies. She offered her information for when we're ready to have our content translated into the many languages spoken by our diverse supporters, which already span over 80 countries.
Later in the day a sexuality-focused podcasting couple who Brendon had recently been a guest with came up to talk with him and with us. We had a great in-depth discussion about the harm of genital cutting and the benefits of foreskin, and this connection and podcast was another great place where we could potentially spread our message and gain supporters in the future.
On the third day, we encountered two mothers who had regrettably made the decision of circumcision for their sons, but were very happy to hear about Foregen.
The first was a Jewish mother. She said her son wanted her foreskin back, and she was very excited to be able to share this information with him. She seemed to see no conflict with her religion and was enthusiastic about sharing the information with her circle.
The second mother talked with us for a long period of time, and while she stated she had made the wrong decision before we even started talking, she was very shocked and saddened by the further information she learned. Thankfully, since her two sons are still quite young, she was grateful when we shared our absolute dedication to the goal of foreskin regeneration, and with it the hope that when her sons are at the age of sexual maturity they can potentially regenerate their foreskins and regain total sexual function.
One great thing about SXSW is that we get to meet with people from all over the world. We had a great discussion with a man from Africa who was considering circumcision because he had heard that it reduces chances of HIV infection. We explained that the studies this propaganda was based on had deep methodological flaws and shared Brendon's documentary which goes into this, as well as the many benefits of retaining the foreskin. He seemed to appreciate our desire to help him avoid a serious mistake and we were glad he was willing and open to take in the information and share it with others.
Another fun international interaction was with two German men who were equally astonished at the strangeness of circumcision and our ambitious solution. They took some pictures with us and a video where we explained the HuFo and our mission to regenerate the foreskin. With many interactions like these, we are excited to feel our message and mission continue to spread. Indeed, in the later days several of the people we talked with had already heard about us from discussions with other participants. It is a great rush to see the buzz Foregen is causing as we continue to expand awareness.
On the final day, the first person who came by was an older gentleman. As soon as we explained our mission to him his eyes lit up.
"So you're saying it's a good thing to have my foreskin?"
When we explained yes, the foreskin has many sexual advantages and many men today are actually trying to get theirs back, he was clearly surprised and delighted.
"And this whole time I thought I was at a disadvantage.. You guys made my day!"
It was wonderful to see him walk away with a greater lightness in his step, and a reminder that while our cultural bias against natural male sexuality has historically been pervasive, this can often be quickly shifted with factual, correct information.
In one of our final interactions we talked with a former engineer from the biotech giant Medtronic. As a former engineer, he was deeply interested in the science of what we are doing here at Foregen, and it was highly validating to see someone from a successful biotech firm so enthusiastic and supportive of our mission.
As always, we are grateful to all of our fantastic supporters and volunteers: events like this would not be possible without the generous support of all those who contribute their time, money, and energy to this mission. We understand that for many who follow Foregen, achieving genital integrity and the full sexual function and pleasure that come with it is a top priority. As we move on to the next phase of our research, we remain as dedicated as ever to returning the birthright of complete sexuality to all men who desire it.

St. Louis County Affordable Housing Trust Fund
I just received an email with the initial results of the planning efforts of the proposed Affordable Housing Trust Fund for St. Louis County. I am delighted to see the recommendations which made terrific sense. The group is led by Chris Krehmeyer of Beyond Housing and the Clark-Fox Foundation is providing important support. I am glad they see that moving to communities of opportunity is the most important factor in success. I hope this program can get implemented. Written by Paul Dribin

Steelers suffer another early exit in MJHL playoffs
The feeling around the Selkirk Steelers organization was that this year was going to be different. The team was going to finally get over the hump in the playoffs.
However, after a six-game loss to the Virden Oil Capitals in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League's quarter-final playoff round, it was the same old story.
Selkirk last won a best-of-seven series eight years ago when it reached the league final, and that skid continued following a 3-2 loss to the host Capitals in Game 6 on March 17.
"It's quite shocking really, I'm still dumbfounded by it," Steelers head coach and general manager Nick Lubimiv told The Selkirk Journal.
It was the second straight year Virden knocked out Selkirk in the opening round of the playoffs, winning in five games last year.
"There were just some times where we needed that second goal. We couldn't pull away ever and we were always in one-goal games," Lubimiv said. "They got some very timely goals and us not so much."
The two MJHL foes split their six-game regular-season series, with the home team winning each time, but the Oil Capitals quickly stole home-ice advantage in the series opener with a 3-2 win in triple overtime on March 8.
Ryan Sokoloski was awarded a penalty shot five minutes into the sixth period but he was unable to score on Dalton Dosch. With 3:25 left in the frame, Kolten Kanaski scored his first of eight goals in the series for Virden.
The Steelers fell behind 2-0 with a 5-1 loss in Game 2, but rebounded to square the series with a 4-2 triumph in Game 3 at the Selkirk Recreation Complex and won in Virden for the first time since October 2018 with a 4-3 overtime victory on March 14.
Rookie forward Blake Burr scored 5:44 into the extra frame after Ryan Piwniuk tied it for Selkirk with 1:25 remaining in regulation.
Game 4 also proved to be pivotal as Dosch was injured late in the first period and rookie netminder Riley Wallace took over in the Oil Capitals crease for the remainder of the series.
In his first playoff start in Game 5 on March 16, Wallace stood on his head for Virden. The rookie stopped 46 shots and third-period goals by Dylan Halliday and Ben Dalke gave the Oil Capitals a chance to reach the league semifinals with a Game 6 victory.
"In the playoffs you need different guys to step up at different times and he ended up being a big piece for them at the end of the series," Lubimiv said of Wallace. "That's a credit to him. He answered the bell no doubt."
With their season on the line, the Steelers came out flat at Tundra Oil & Gas Place, being outshot 18-4 in the first period of Game 6.
Virden kept pressing in the second period with 17 more shots, and three of them got past Zachary Bennett — one via Parker Brakebill and two from Kanaski.
"I don't what it was but we really didn't find our game almost the whole way through," Lubimiv said of his team's play in Game 6. "We were fighting it. The easy plays we weren't making and credit Virden too. They did outplay us in that game. It's tough when that's the game you need and you don't really bring your A game."
Brady Pupp brought Selkirk to within a goal after scoring twice in the last four minutes, but in the end it was another disappointing pill for the Steelers to swallow. Another first-round exit.
Might the direction of the series have changed if the Steelers had managed to pull out Game 1? Maybe, but Lubimiv said his team had chances to make sure they — not Virden — were advancing to the semis to play the top-seeded Portage Terriers.
"You can always look back on that for sure," he said. "It would have been nice to win Game 1 and it would've changed something, but at the end of the day we should've won Game 5 at home and we found a way to lose that one when we should've had a couple more (goals)."

Long ago, in the days before Israel had a king, there was a famine in the land. So a man named Elimelech, who belonged to the clan of Ephrath and who lived in Bethlehem in Judah, went with his wife Naomi and their two sons Mahlon and Chilion to live for a while in the country of Moab.
While they were living there, Elimelech died, and Naomi was left alone with her tow sons, who married Moabite girls, Orpah and Ruth. About ten years later Mahlon and Chilion also died, and Naomi was left all alone, without husband or sons.
Some time later Naomi heard that the LORD had bless his people by giving them good crops; so she got ready to leave Moab with her daughter-in-law. They started out together to go back to Judah, but on the way she said to them, "Go back home and stay with your mothers. May the LORD be as good to you as you have been to me and to those who have died. And may the LORD make it possible for each of you to marry again and have a home."
So Naomi kissed them good-bye. But they started crying and said to her, "No! We will go with you to your people."
"You must go back, my daughters, " Naomi answered. "Why do you want to come with me? Do you think I could have sons again for you to marry? Go back home, for I am too old to get married again. Even if I thought there was still hope, and so got married tonight and had sons, would you wait until they had grown up? Would this keep you from marrying someone else? No, my daughters, you know that's impossible. The LORD has turned against me, and I feel very sorry for you."
Again they started crying. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law good-bye and went back home, but Ruth held on to her. So Naomi said to her, "Ruth, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her god. Go back home with her."
But Ruth answered, "Don't ask me to leave you! Let me go with you. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. Wherever you die, I will die, and that is where I will be buried. May the LORD's worst punishment come upon me if I let anything but death separate me from you!"
When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she said nothing more.
They went on until they came to Bethlehem. When they arrived, the whole town became excited, and the women there exclaimed, "Is this really Naomi?"
"Don't call me Naomi, " she answered; "call me Marah, because Almighty God has made my life bitter.
When I left here, I had plenty, but the LORD has brought me back without a thing. Why call me Naomi when the LORD Almighty has condemned me and sent me trouble?"
This, then, was how Naomi came back from Moab with Ruth, her Moabite daughter-in-law. When they arrived in Bethlehem, the barley harvest was just beginning.
Naomi had a relative named Boaz, a rich and influential man who belonged to the family of her husband Elimlech. One day Ruth said to Naomi, "Le me go to the fields to gather the grain that the harvest workers leave. I am sure to find someone who will let me work with him."
Naomi answered, "Go ahead, daughter."
So Ruth went out to the fields and walked behind the workers, picking up the heads of grain which they left. It so happened that she was in a field that belonged to Boaz.
Some time later Boaz himself arrived from Bethlehem and greeted the workers. "The LORD be with you!" he said.
"The LORD bless you!" they answered.
Boaz asked the man in charge, "Who is that young woman?"
The man answered, "She is the foreign girl who came back from Moab with Naomi. She asked me to let her follow the workers and gather grain. She has been working since early morning and has just now stopped to rest for a while under th shelter."
Then Boaz said to Ruth, "Let me give you some advice. Don't gather grain anywhere except in this field. Work with the women here; watch them to see where they are reaping and stay with them. I have ordered my men not to molest you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and drink from the water jars that they have filled."
Ruth bowed down with her face touching the ground, and said to Boaz, "Why should you be so concerned about me? Why should you be so kind to a foreigner?"
Boaz answered, "I have
heard about everything that you have done for your mother-in-law since
your husband died. I know how
you left your father and mother and your own country and how you came to
live among a people you have never known before.
May the LORD reward you for what you have done.
May you have a full reward from the LORD God of Israel. To who you
have come for protection!"
At mealtime Boaz said to Ruth, "Come and have apiece of bred, and dip it in the sauce." So she sat with the workers, and Boaz passed some roasted grain to her. She ate until she was satisfied, and she still has some food left over. After she had left to go and gather grain, Boaz ordered the workers, "let her gather grain even where the bundles are lying, and don't say anything to stop her. Besides that, pull out some heads of grain from the bundles and leave them for her to pick up."
So Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening, and when she had beaten it out, she found she had nearly twenty-five pounds. She took the grain back in to town and showed her mother-in-law how much she had gathered. She also gave her the food left over from the meal.
Naomi asked her, "Where did you gather all this grain today? Whose field have you been working in? May God bless the man who took an interest in you!"
So Ruth told Naomi that she had been working in the field belonging to a man named Boaz.
"May the LORD bless Boaz!" Naomi exclaimed. "The LORD always keeps his promises to the living and the dead." And she went on, "That man is a close relative of ours, one of those responsible for taking care of us."
Then Ruth said, "Best of all, he told me to keep gathering grain with his workers until they finish the harvest."
Naomi said to Ruth, "Yes, daughter, it will be better for you to work with the woman in Boaz' field. You might be molested if you went o someone else's field." So Ruth worked with them and gathered grain until all the barley and wheat had been harvested. And she continued to live with her mother-in-law.
Some time later Naomi said to Ruth, "I must find a husband for you, so that you will have a home of your own. Remember that this man Boaz, whose women you have been working with, is our relative. Now listen. This evening he will be threshing the barley. So wash yourself, put on some perfume, and get dressed in your best clothes. Then go where he is threshing, but don't let him know your are there until he has finished eating and drinking. Be sure to notice where he lies down, and after he falls asleep, go and lift the covers and lie down at his feet. He will tell you what to do."
Ruth answered, "I will do everything you say."
So Ruth went to the threshing place and did just what her mother-in-law had told her. When Boaz had finished eating and drinking, he was in a good mood. He went to he pile of barely and lay down to sleep. Ruth slipped over quietly, lifted the covers and lay down at his feet. During the night he woke up suddenly, turned over, and was surprised to find a woman lying at his feet. "Who are you?" he asked.
"It's Ruth, sir," she answered. "Because you are a close relative, you are responsible for taking care of me. So please marry me."
"The LORD bless you, " he said. "Your are showing even greater family loyalty in what you are doing now than in what you did for your mother-in-law. You might have gone looking for a young man, either rich or poor, but you haven't. Now don't worry, Ruth. I will doe everything you ask; as everyone in town knows, you are a fine woman. It is true that I am a close relative for you, but there is a man who is a closer relative than I am. Stay here the rest of the night, and in the morning we will find out whether or not he will take responsibility for you. If so, well and good; if not, then I swear by the living GOD that I will take the responsibility. Now lie down and stay here till morning."
So she lay there at his feet, but she got up before it was light enough for her to be seen, because Boaz did no want anyone to know that she had been there. Boaz said to her, "Take off your cloak and spread it out here." She did, and he poured to almost fifty pounds of barley and helped her lift it to her shoulder. Then she returned to town with it. When she arrived home, her mother-in-law asked her, "How did you get along, daughter?"
Ruth told her everything that Boaz had done for her. She added, "He told me I must not come back to you empty-handed, so he gave me all this barley."
Naomi said to her, "Now be patient, Ruth, until you see how this all turns out. Boaz will not rest today until he settles the matter."
Boaz went to the meeting place at the town gate and sat down there. Then Elimelech's nearest relative, the man whom Boaz had mentioned, came by and Boaz called to him, "Come over here, my friend, and sit down. " So he went over and sat down. Then Boaz got ten of the leaders of the town and asked them to sit down there too. When they were seated, he said to his relative, "Now that Naomi has come back from Moab, she wants to sell the field that belonged to our relative Elimelech, and I think you ought t know about it. Now then, if you want it, buy it in the presence of these men sitting here. But if you don't want to it, say so, because the right to buy it belongs first to you and then tome."
The man said, "I will buy it."
Boaz said, "Very well, if you buy the field from Naomi, then you are also buying Ruth., the Moabite widow, so that the field will staying the dead man's family."
The man answered, "In that case I will give up my right to buy the field, because it would mean that my own children would not inherit it. You buy it; I would rather not."
Now in those days, to settle a sale or an exchange of property, it was the custom for the seller to take off his sandal an give it to the buyer. In this way the Israelites showed that the matter was settled.
So when the man said to Boaz, "You buy it," he took off his sandal and gave it to Boaz. Then Boaz said to the leaders and all the others there, "You are all witnesses today that I have bought from Naomi everything that belonged to Elimelech and to his sons Chilion and Mahlon. In addition, Ruth the Moabite, Mahlon's widow, becomes my wife. This will keep the property in the dead man's family, and his family line will continue among his people and in his hometown. You are witnesses to this today."
The leaders and the others said, "Yes, we are witnesses. May the LORD make your wife become like Rachel and Leah, who bore many children to Jacob. May you become rich in the clan of Ephrath and famous in Bethlehem. May the children that the LORD will give you by this young woman make your family like the family like the family of Perez, the son of Judah and Tamar. "
So Boaz took Ruth home as his wife. The LORD blessed her, and she became pregnant and had a son.
The women said to Naomi, "Praise the LORD! He has given you a grandson today to take care of you. May the body become famous in Israel!"
Your daughter-in-law loves you, and had done more for you than seven sons. And now she has given you a grandson, who will bring new life to your and give you security in your old age." Naomi took the child, held him close, and took care of him.
The women of the neighborhood named the boy Obed. They told everyone, "A son has been born to Naomi."
Obed became the father of Jesse, who was the father of David.
This is the family line from Perez to David: Perez, Hezron, Ram;
Amminadab, Nahshon, Salmon, Boaz, Obed, Jesse, David.

HOUSTON, March 06, 2020 /3BL Media/ -- Sysco Corporation (NYSE:SYY), the leading global foodservice distribution company, today announced the Company's second annual observance of International Women's Day (IWD) across its global organization.
Leading global foodservice distributor Sysco Corporation recently announced in its 2019 Corporate Responsibility Report strong progress towards achieving its 2020 seafood sustainability goals.
HOUSTON, November 6, 2019 /3BL Media/ - Sysco Corporation (NYSE:SYY), the leading global foodservice distribution company, announced today it has published its 2019 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report, documenting the company's progress toward the 2025 CSR goals established in 2018. Sysco's CSR strategy focuses on three key areas: people, products and planet, with the objective of Delivering A Better Tomorrow.
How can we help feed the hungry in our communities while also reducing seafood waste? Gleaning, with only 1% of participation from commercial fishermen, could help us do just that and would yield about 420 million meals a year! Gleaning is a growing movement in the fishing industry to donate seafood that can't be sold (and is usually thrown out) to food pantries.
Trinity Seafood, a Sysco specialty seafood company based in New Jersey, recently partnered with local food banks and fishermen to pilot the New Jersey Seafood Gleaning program.
We are celebrating National Lobster Day the best way we know how, by actively supporting the preservation of the spiny lobster. Spiny lobster is considered the queen of the Caribbean. That is why this species is a very valuable fishing resource for Nicaragua, given the county's current social and economic climate.

As 40 percent of the world's food goes uneaten, and 52 million tons of food are sent to landfills annually in the U.S. alone, operators have both a challenge and an opportunity. By measuring and reducing waste, restaurateurs can save money and help save the planet.
Measure and Track
To reduce food waste, you need to know how much of your weekly food order is going unused. From there you can measure how each change you make to manage waste affects that number. Start by using inventory management technology to keep track.
Sysco is committed to helping the millions of Americans who struggle with food insecurity and hunger, providing both financial and volunteer resources to local organizations. We currently allocate 75 percent of our community donations and volunteer activities toward hunger relief, and as part of our 2025 Corporate Social Responsibility Goals, we plan to donate 200 million meals and $50 million dedicated toward alleviating hunger and food insecurity in the communities we serve.
What is an ally? Allies are good listeners. They are open-minded and knowledgeable. Allies educate themselves and take proactive steps to prevent discrimination. Allies embody Sysco's value of Inclusiveness. Being inclusive allows us to create a safe, diverse and dynamic work environment for our associates and customers where everyone has an equal opportunity to feel valued and respected, including LGBTQ+ people.

At Creapills, we are particularly fond of street art, especially when playing with street furniture. In Norway, the artist Skurk has created a rather frightening and impressive street art representing monkfish, a fish known for its repulsive physical appearance.
The work is amplified thanks to the urban lighting that is used here to make the fish even more frightening at night. We like the idea and the realism of this work that surely does not go unnoticed. To learn more about the Skurk universe, visit her Instagram profile.

The sadness of spring
March 2, 2018
*This piece is entirely satirical
I take a look outside. The snow is melting, the flowers are blooming and the weather is finally warming up. Disgusting. Spring is supposed to be a time of growth; a time of new life. Well, the emergence of spring certainly cannot warm my frozen heart.
I wish winter would last forever. You get to gaze out frosty windows and watch the beautiful snow drift from the heavens, blanketing the barren landscape. Some critics dislike the cold weather. I say that's what overheating with fires, itchy sweatshirts and scalding hot chocolate are for. People are barely outside anyway; the cold only makes the warm-spirited season that much better.
But let's talk about the other seasons. Spoiler alert: They suck. Spring is boring. Spring weather consists of short, rainy days and shorter, rainier days, and that's about it. Summer does get to have school off. But for some reason, too many people decide to waste their summers laying around in their local supersized bathtubs in a futile effort to tan while dodging the moist heat and mosquitoes. Finally, fall is a time of decline, where daily temperatures fluctuate more than the stock market and you never know what to expect.
Let's get back to winter's glory. In comparison, winter features beautiful brown grass that crunches softly under your footsteps and slippery slush that keeps you on your toes on any paved surface. The season's simple bony trees show their strength by riding out the hardy cold. This bitter cold is worthwhile because it allows beautiful half-inch snowfalls and snow days to happen about once every two years.
Winter has a holiday like no other. Instead of people celebrating a holiday on a particular day, perfectly sane, healthy enthusiasts have the impulse to play Christmas music year-round. Every year, Christmas becomes more than a day or even a month: It's a lifestyle.
I will try to hold onto the winter spirit as long as possible, but at some point, I guess I will have to face reality. I'll walk out into the somewhat warmer rain, and quickly head back inside to continue to enjoy pleasurable spring cleaning.

Modern society is based upon internal combustion technology. Humanity has created some amazing things with this – a civilization with transportation systems, communication networks and power distribution capable of supporting populations of millions – so we can be forgiven if we tend to focus on refining internal combustion technology to make it work better and more efficiently when we study how to address resource, environmental and inequality problems. However, even when we explore new energy sources – nuclear fission, for example – our method is still to figure out a way to extract a specific resource and manipulate it in a certain way to produce energy that was not there previously.
But what if that's not necessary? What if there was limitless energy flowing around us that we could tap into when we needed it? Most people will immediately point to solar power, which, I admit, is pretty darn cool, but to a large degree we have undertaken the development of solar power with the goal of making it fit and operate within the existing system of internal combustion. If we want to get away from a modern society based on oil, internal combustion, and the "bigger is better mindset," we need a totally different approach and a totally different technology.
One man may have discovered – or rediscovered – just that. The late John Burke was a businessman and inventor with a background in physics. As co-founder and CEO of Pro Seed Technologies, Inc. he and his colleagues demonstrated in hundreds of tests (verified by third parties such as universities and agricultural companies), substantial gains in the growth, the yields and the stress tolerance of many types of crops by exposing the seeds to certain forms of electromagnetic energy (not powerful like microwaves, but something gentler, more akin to static electricity). In this process, very low-energy electrons coat the seed. As they are absorbed into the cell, they get absorbed into the mitochondria as well, where they are known to disrupt the oxygen processing in a way that increases the production of our free radicals. The cell's anti-oxidant defenses get involved, and in the end you end up with a cell that can handle just about anything better.
When touring the Avebury stone circle in southern England, it occurred to Burke that the megaliths found around the world – pyramids, henges, mounds, and dolmans, etc. – might have a purpose other than the strictly ceremonial and religious purposes currently ascribed to them by archeologists. The time, labor and resources required to construct these monuments would have nearly crippled many pre-industrial populations had there been no benefit from it. Additionally, Burke discovered that these megaliths were not erected during a time of prosperity, but only after there was a crisis of agricultural productivity, and famine loomed. "The builders of mounds, pyramids, and henges were often fighting for survival when construction began, yet archaeological evidence shows they got wealthy soon after the buildings had been completed." Given his background, Burke wondered whether there was something about the megaliths that enhanced agricultural production.
It was at Avebury that Burke, along with his coauthor Kaj Halberg, first started taking electric and magnetic readings – they eventually visited and took readings at over 80 megalithic sites in the Americas, Europe and the Middle East. To ensure the scientific validity of the readings, the men used three different standard instruments:
- An electrostatic voltmeter measures the electric charge in the air or on objects (i.e., stone that might become electrified);
- A fluxgate magnetometer measures the magnetic changes in a location, these changes take place everywhere on earth every day; and
- Ground electrodes (connected with a length of wire – about 100 feet – and a voltmeter) to measure the DC charge in millivolts. This was used to locate and measure natural telluric currents running through the ground near the surface.
In Seed of Knowledge, Stone of Plenty, Burke explains that the earth is continuously awash in magnetic and electric currents, and the engine for this is the earth's magnetic field. Every day the earth's magnetic field strengthens because of its' interaction with the solar wind, then it drops off at night and becomes weaker – every place and every day. A few hours before dawn, the geomagnetic field at every spot comes rushing back. This generates the physical thing called induction – an electrical current in anything that will conduct electricity – which is a well-known principle of electronics. In certain spots, these forces were dramatically stronger, and energy is amplified hundreds of times stronger. Building a megalithic structure (such as a pyramid) on these sites has two complementary effects: It concentrates any electric charge in the ground at the top, and it bunches up the atmosphere's electric field lines at the top. Similar results were obtained at Native American earthen mounds, pre-Columbian rock chambers in New England, and henges in Europe.
A typical example was Tikal's Lost World Pyramid in Guatemala. The ground electrodes showed that the pyramid was sited over a telluric current, with readings up to 600 millivolts/kilometer (which is a very strong reading for a telluric current). The voltmeter registered 1,100 volts near the ground to 1,720 volts when they lifted the voltmeter over their heads to about eight feet (while airborne readings typically vary with height, a difference of eight feet is normally no more than 90 volts). While these levels may sound dangerously high, electric charge in the air is different than the kind you have in your household – even 1,000 volts is not dangerous. In fact, you can generate a stronger charge by rubbing your hair with a balloon. Nevertheless, those readings are way out of the normal range and can have significant biological effects.
And it's not just a case of identifying a telluric current and erecting some sort of structure over it; people can physically improve a site to manipulate the flow of earth energy and amplify it. Examples given by Burke include the henges and stone circles commonly found in southern England. While visitors normally focus on the stones of Avebury Circle or Stonehenge, the shallow ditches around them are just as if not more important. The builders of these sites scraped away the topsoil, which better exposed the chalk underneath. Water seeping through the chalk when it rained separated into negative and positive charges, causing an electrical current in the ground with an associated magnetic field. (If you're into the science behind this, look here.)
And the Point Is….
Since his company had developed a process to increase seed propagation using exposure to low levels of electromagnetism, Burke theorized that exposing seed to the electromagnetism found in the megaliths would similarly increase crop yield. This is not an enormous leap to make since there is considerable evidence that ancient peoples brought and placed their seed in or on top of megalithic structures for "blessings" (some indigenous peoples in Central America still do so). Burke experimented with corn seeds, and found that those seeds placed in the megalithic structures showed dramatically improved growth compared with a control located nearby. (Note: I've done my own experiments with pyramids and seed sprouting, although I did so before I ever heard of telluric currents and other natural earth energies. Were my pyramids located near or on a telluric current? I don't know, but it is said that ash trees grow particularly well near telluric currents – and the biggest ash tree in town is in my back yard.)
The possibility that megaliths were used to increase crop yield and food security provides a possible answer to many questions. It explains why impoverished and dying populations were willing to dedicate so much time and resources to erecting these monuments at a time when their own survival was in question. It clarifies why these populations experienced a significant improvement in their conditions when the buildings were finished. It also provides a reason for why Native American communities with mounds were better off than their close neighbors who had none.
Interestingly, the megalith-as-a-seed-propagation-device theory also gives us a motive for why Stonehenge fell into disuse around 1500 BC. After all, if a site such as Stonehenge so improved agricultural production, why would it have been abandoned? Burke explains that people stopped going to Stonehenge at the same time that fertilizer and crop rotation were introduced. English farmers realized that adding animal dung to their fields would keep them fertile. Additionally, the systematic growing of legumes like peas and Celtic beans was started, fixing nitrogen in the soil and generating its fertility. With these discoveries, the farmer could now get improvement in yield without having to make the long trek to the henges. So, people stopped traveling to Stonehenge.
What Else?
In Seed of Knowledge, Stone of Plenty, Burke makes a very good case – backed by some amazing science – that megaliths are a form of ancient technology created by our ancient ancestors to increase seed propagation and ensure both their survival and prosperity. And while this is interesting, …so what? It's not as if we're going to throw away our Miracle-Gro in favor of building a pyramid.
But what we can do is figure out what else we might be able to do with this energy. What's it good for? Some people might argue that the energy is too weak – too subtle – to be of any use; we are accustomed to admire the enormous power plants with their outputs of hundreds of megawatts. But this is exactly the point at which we need to start thinking about a new approach, a new type of energy, a different kind of society.
Bigger isn't always better – or even always effective. Burke's work in Pro Seed Technologies, Inc. proved that certain low levels of electromagnetic energy could change the cells in plants. Could the same be true of cells in human beings? While there is tradition associating many of these megalithic sites with human healing, is there any scientific evidence that it could be true?
Indian scientists did a study ("Effect of Magnetic Micropulsations on the Biological Systems," International Journal of Biometerology, 1985) to look at how household electric fields might be affecting our minds and bodies. They placed human volunteers, as well as rats, flat on their backs and passed a ring over their bodies, simulating the 110-volt Alternating Current fields in our homes, which oscillate 55-60 times/second. They measured blood pressure, pulse, brain waves, and neurotransmitter levels in the blood. They found no changes. Then they decided to lower the rate oscillation and see if that would produce physiological changes. It didn't – until they got all the way down to 0.01 oscillations/second (one oscillation per one hundred seconds). This slow rate of oscillation is what frequently occurs in the wee hours of the morning as the earth's magnetic field starts coming back; oscillations of one per hundred seconds are not what we call Alternating Current (AC), but are really more of a disturbance in Direct Current (DC), which is what is found in nature. The strength of the magnetic field produced was 50 gammas, equivalent to the strength of the earth's natural daily perturbations. At one oscillation per hundred seconds both humans and rats showed disruptions in every vital sign being monitored. Additionally, humans who lay with their heads pointed towards the east experienced "blissful reverie." Those who lay with their heads pointed towards the north experienced anxiety, distress, panic and nausea (the rats screamed). Essentially, the volunteers were far more susceptible to effects mimicking natural magnetic fields than they were to the stronger magnetic fields similar to those in their homes.
The Russians have also conducted some interesting experiments with pyramids (there is no information as to whether they sited these structures in telluric currents or whether the Russian researchers are even aware of them) in which exposure to pyramids increased the immune system of organisms, the specific properties of medicines, and the yield of agricultural seeds, as well as decreased the pathogenic strength of different viruses and bacteria. These studies have suggested that other improvements in daily life (for example, in the weather) also have occurred in the neighborhoods in which the pyramids have been sited.
Dowsers, who traditionally work with earth energies, can also make a significant contribution to this discussion. In her book Earth Radiation, Austrian school teacher and dowser Kathe Bachler described the results of her investigations of over 11,000 people in over 3,000 houses, apartments and work places, in which she found that sleeping or working over areas where lines from the Curry or Hartmann grids intersected often resulted in cancer, allergies, arthritis, insomnia, learning disabilities, and many other diseases. When the affected people changed where they slept to an area the dowser said was free of these earth energies, health improved.
Moving Forward
So now what? The truth is these earth energies are not very compatible with a fast-paced, profit-motivated culture. As John Burke found out, it is challenging to make money off of them (despite the demonstrated efficiency of Burke's electron seed technology in improving agricultural yields, our society instead opted to invest in GMOs and stronger pesticides). Our population has been trained to associate healing with drugs and machines rather than with identifying the location of earth energies and then either avoiding or immersing themselves in them. Any scientist who explores earth energies and their possible uses risks losing his or her funding and being relegated to that scorned category of researchers who dabble in fringe science. Because of this, the likelihood is small that science or industry will investigate other possible end uses of earth energies.
Earth energies are free energies, and the possible applications are amazing. Unfortunately our society often looks down on that which is freely provided, preferring to wrest something from the earth, and then polish it up before buying and selling it. Dipping into and manipulating naturally occurring energy currents is somehow not good enough.
Aside from those few individuals who adopt earth energies for their personal use (this is my shout-out to dowsers!), it is unlikely that there will be any significant investment in developing and exploring the possible applications of earth energies. In order to do so, we would need a re-education of the general population, a decrease in the influence of vested interests …and politicians willing to risk ridicule. In short, we would need a complete re-engineering of society as we know it. I don't believe the majority of us are willing.
But there is hope. And it comes from outer space.
No, I'm not talking about aliens; I'm talking about NASA. The Cassini-Huygens is an unmanned spacecraft sent to the planet Saturn. In order to get it there successfully, NASA had to program the spacecraft to first go around Venus, then Earth, and then Jupiter in order to get free gravitational "boosts" on its way to Saturn. So even though the scientific community may dismiss the electric and magnetic currents of our planet to be of little benefit to society, the astrophysicists at NASA consider the natural electric and magnetic currents of the cosmos to be critical for the successful exploration of deep space. While I can't say that a smart inventor and his or her funders will ever make the conceptional leap from NASA's harnessing of gravitational fields in space to the possibility of using the Earth's natural energies for other purposes, the possibility definitely exists. And the fact that NASA is employing naturally occurring energies in an effective and cost-effective manner is an illustration of what we can achieve.
If we are willing.

Pediatric Surgery Centers.
Tenet Health, a national healthcare service company
approached atLarge to help them better understand
the patients they were serving and enhance the
visibility of the pediatric practice in their target
audience's eyes.

Putting Patients First.
After extensive journey mapping, we were able to hone in on critical areas where the patient experience wasn't aligned with the intent of the practice. With this discovery, we were able to recommend a series of improvements to both the in-person and digital experiences, from a patient perspective. From overhauling the brand, to introducing a new face for the experience, we were able to dramatically transform the emotional journey patients experienced when it came to pediatric services.

Le Chalet St Martin is located 250m from the pistes. St Martin de Belleville is a charming French village which also forms part of the largest ski area in the world - the Three Valleys. Just hop onto the St Martin 1 ski lift followed by the St Martin 2 chairlift and voila you have 600km pistes to ski. The resorts of Meribel and Courchevel lead off to the left of St Martin with Les Menuires and Val Thorens heading off to the right.
St Martin itself is great for all levels, with some steady blue runs and challenging red runs including the well known 'Jerusalem' run back to the resort. Not to mention the amazing off piste area which opens up when the snow gods answer our powder prayers.
Whatever your ski level we also believe that everyone has something new to learn. There are French and English speaking ski instructors available in St Martin who offer group or private lessons for both piste and off-piste adventures. We can help arrange any lessons you need. Why not take a private instructor for the week and allow members of the ski group flexibility with no early morning rush to ski school for sleepy heads and allow those eager skiers to take the first lift slot.
We can also help to pre-book ski hire and we are pleased to be able to offer our guests a fantastic 35% discount for ski equipment hire with Skiset in St Martin. We can also help to pre-order your ski passes so that you can get straight out onto the slopes with no queueing at the lift pass office.
For families we can also help arrange children's ski lessons, creche or a private nanny. 'Le Chalet' is a great space for children and with a central village location it makes it easy to come and go as you please.
Get in touch for further information; firstname.lastname@example.com
Non-ski activities
If you are not keen on skiing then don't worry there are many other snow activities in St Martin to choose from. If downhill skiing isn't your thing then maybe try cross-country skiing. There are 28kms of marked pistes which start from St Martin itself, the equipment is easy to hire and lessons are readily available if you need someone to show you how it's done. Snowshoe adventures are a fantastic way to get out in the fresh air for a bit of exercise and take in the mountain views. Group outings offer a great way to meet other people, test your French and sample some local French produce.
For anyone looking for something different why not take to the skies in a tandem parapente or even opt for a helicopter trip to see the mountains from up above. If you are feeling brave then head down under for an ice diving experience at Lac de Lou. If you feel the need for speed then get behind the wheel for some ice driving fun on the Val Thorens ice driving circuit. Our chalet manager can help you arrange any additional actvities to add something special to your ski trip to make it one to remember.
Get in touch so we can start to put together your tailor-made 'Le Chalet' holiday; email@example.com

In a few weeks, I will be twenty-eight years old. Twenty-eight and still single. Always single.
The First Step
So I took that courageous first step: I quit my job. I turned in my two-week notice and hoped beyond hope that I hadn't made a stupid decision. I felt stupid walking away from a job without another one lined up, but I suddenly felt so very free to go for my dreams again, to be me – artsy, creative, unique, interesting. But unemployment is no man's friend. Not only are you not earning money, you are stuck at home way too much, you have no money to go adventuring (unless, of course, your previous job was lucrative and you were a good saver), and you feel down in the dumps about your worth as a person. You spend so much time writing applications about how wonderful you are at everything, only to get turned down over and over again. It's exhausting!
Was It Courage Or Was It Impulse?
Last year, I said that I would write a post about Kenneth Branagh's film Cinderella and I have not yet fulfilled that promise. The blog post I shared in my previous Cinderella post is so wonderful that I dug myself into a hole trying to top it.
If you haven't already, you should definitely watch Cinderella. It's a gorgeous spectacle, a lovely story, and will surprise you at how skillfully this well-known story is retold. When I went into the theater last year to watch this film for the first time, I expected to enjoy it based on the fact that Cinderella was my favorite Disney princess when I was younger. When I left the theater, my cheeks were tear-streaked and I felt a wonderful lightening of heart. I knew Kenneth Branagh was a good director, but after seeing this film, I am convinced I will like any film he has made or will make in the future. Not only was Branagh brilliant, but the costumes designed by Sandy Powell were beautiful, dreamy, creative, colorful, and a wonderful mixture of historical accuracy and artistic fairy-tale-story license. Patrick Doyle's music is a fairy tale in itself, fitting the film perfectly. His music nearly always sounds like it comes from a fairy-tale; his use of strings makes it magical. And then there's Dante Ferretti, whose sets are exquisitely and expensively extravagant, detailed, and lush. This film is such a rich experience for the senses that it seems you can taste it.
Black Before Spring
You may have been wondering for the past few weeks why the images that are usually on my blog are black. You may not have noticed at all. Or you may not have visited since my last post. I do hope that last sentence is not the case, but if it is, that is quite all right too. Whether you noticed the black at the top of the page or not – whether you have visited or not – I am glad you are here now. Please keep visiting.
Who is Essena O'Neill?
I am so proud of Essena O'Neill. I did not know of her before, but after hearing from Joy the Baker of what she has done, I just want to yell from the rooftops, "GO GIRL!" If you do not know who this girl is (like I did not know until just yesterday), Essena O'Neill is a nineteen-year-old girl who became famous through her presence on social media. It seems that the main way she used social media in the past was through modeling and uploading photos of herself… Correct me if I'm wrong… She got sucked under by the drug of followers, likes, and worldwide social media approval. But as of only a few weeks ago, she has come up for air and sworn off social media by way of a new blog called "Lets Be Game Changers" (elimination of apostrophe her choice, certainly not mine).
Moving On
Last night, I showed one of my recent favorite films to my mom, the movie NINE. I must confess that she was rather taken aback by the raciness of the first half of the movie, but I think she appreciated the film in the end. After all, the women on the screen of NINE are more clothed than many bikini wearers you see out in public. The songs may be talking about sex, and the dances suggesting it, but it's not nearly as disturbing as watching actors pretend to have sex on screen. And the costumes, music, storyline, actors, and the way in which it is filmed are all fabulous! So I don't mind so much. (But, still, if you were planning on watching this with your kids, think twice – thrice – unless, of course, your kids are planning to watch it with their friends no matter what. In that case, perhaps you should watch and discuss it with them instead of leaving them to sift through their thoughts on their own. This film may be rated PG-13, but R would be more appropriate.)
Once you get through the first half of the film, you begin to learn more about the main character, Italian film director Guido Contini, and just how burdened he is. Guido Contini (played by the incredible Daniel Day-Lewis) is the biggest reason I love this movie. There are so many times that I have (and do) feel just as trapped, perfectionistic, artistically stuck, and directionally confused as Contini.

CONTENT: "compelling information that informs, engages, or amuses".
Social media has quickly become an integral part of every business's marketing plan. It's never been more important to provide your audience with eye-catching, engaging content – not only to grow your audience, but to create customer loyalty. But not every business/product owner has an artistic eye to create images that capture and inspire.
If you're looking for luxe & fresh content imagery for your product or business that inspires your audience, I can create it for you. Please email me at email@example.com, I'd love to chat more about your business' needs.

The Great Plains | As much as $1000 Quick Mortgage loan On the internet. Speedy Cash Nowadays.
Cash Advances - How To Avoid Mistakes
Do you need a quick loan? Your credit score could not be very impressive. There are different options you should look into. A The Great Plains can be a good alternative when quick cash is necessary and few other options exist. This article can help you with your cash advance loans search.
One way to make sure that you are getting a payday loan from a trusted lender is to seek out reviews for various payday loan companies. Doing this will help you differentiate legit lenders from scams that are just trying to steal your money. Make sure you do adequate research.
When you take a loan, you need to be able to pay it off. If you do not go in to renegotiate, the payday loan company will try to take the owed amount from your bank account. Your bank will assess fees for insufficient funds, which will make it even harder to pay your loan back. Assure the money is in the account to keep your finances under control.
Realize that you are giving the payday loan access to your personal banking information. That is great when you see the loan deposit! However, they will also be making withdrawals from your account. Make sure you feel comfortable with a company having that kind of access to your bank account. Know to expect that they will use that access.
Read reviews on any payday loan company you are considering. There are lots of different lenders out there so make sure that you get a loan from a reputable and fair lender. Search for reviews from previous borrowers for more information.
Do not use the services of a payday loan company unless you have exhausted all of your other options. When you do take out the loan, make sure you will have money available to pay back the loan when it is due, otherwise you may end up paying extremely high interest and fees.
If you are having a difficult time deciding whether or not to use a payday loan, call a consumer credit counselor. These professionals usually work for non-profit organizations that provide free credit and financial assistance to consumers. These individuals can help you find the right payday lender, or possibly even help you rework your finances so that you do not need the loan.
Shop around prior to deciding on who to get cash from when it comes to payday loans. Every payday loan place is different, some with lower interest rates and others with more money to lend you. In addition, there are those that will give you the money immediately, while others ask you to wait a bit. Weigh all of your options before deciding on which option is best for you.
Before you sign up for a payday loan, carefully consider the amount of money that you really need. You should borrow only the amount of money that will be needed in the short term, and that you will be able to pay back at the end of the term of the loan.
Pay close attention to fees. The interest rates that payday lenders can charge is usually capped at the state level, although there may be local community regulations as well. Because of this, many payday lenders make their real money by levying fees both in size and quantity of fees overall.
In conclusion, payday cash advances have become a popular choice for those in need of money desperately. If these kinds of loans are something, you are interested in, be sure you know what you are getting into. Now that you have read this article, you are well aware of what The Great Plains are all about.

The Future of Building is Now
CENTERBROOK, Conn. – The recent "Visionaries Forum" held in New Haven brought together architects and construction firms along with their clients and academics to discuss the implications of rapidly changing technologies on the building industry.
"I think the presentations and discussions opened some eyes and minds, not so much about how far we have come with 3D building modeling and other technologies, but also how far we have to go," said Steven Haines, Centerbrook Director of Information Technology.
"Communications and computing technology is expanding exponentially, and changing almost everything we do and how various building team members interact."
Centerbrook was a sponsor of the forum, and Haines was one of its organizers.
Some two hundred participants explored these issues of technology, design and building with five presenters, including: Barbara White Bryson, Associate Vice President for Facilities at Rice University; Philip Bernstein, who is an architect, Vice President of Autodesk, and Associate Professor at Yale University; and Richard Swett, former U.S. Congressman and Ambassador and current CEO of Climate Prosperity Enterprise Solutions.
The presentations focused on how the ability to quickly generate enormous data sets and comprehensive design models – and then transmit that complex information via ever more sophisticated mobile communications devices and social media – was transforming not only the design/build process but changing the fundamental relationships between all involved in the building industry.
One speaker played a time-lapsed video of a 30-story structure in China being erected in only 15 days, dramatized the potential of "integrated project delivery:" when building team members use and share 3D building information modeling (BIM) to efficiently design and construct a building. The American version of massive modular construction was explored by Anthony Colonna, National Director of Skanska USA Building. His firm is building the first modular skyscraper in this country, the 32-story Atlantic Yards B2 Tower in New York City.
