It is made of minced chicken that can be used as a topping on a pizza, stuffed in a burger or bread slices. The salami tastes best with mint chutney and tomato sauce. These fully cooked and perfectly seasoned healthy chicken meat pieces can be just heated in an microwave or shallow fried.

Novelist William Faulkner once said, "Civilization begins with distillation." That could be true, since historians tell us the earliest recorded distilling recipe comes from 28 B.C. Distilling and farming go hand in hand, and they have both been long-held traditions of civilization. Growing crops on historical ground for a local distillery and restaurant and then turning them into drinks and food sounds like an art form. That is exactly what owner Yianni Barakos did last year when he opened Mason Dixon Distillery in Gettysburg.
At the young age of 11, with only a sketch that his grandfather drew on a cocktail napkin, Yianni built his very first still. He knew one day he would open a small distillery, but he planned to go into construction project management first. Then tragedy struck, and a car accident put him in bed for two years. He explains, "As I started to recover, it became clear that my previous career path was not going to pan out due to physical limitations, so I jumped in and started to plan out what my distillery would look like. Having been raised in restaurants and seeing the trend of breweries having their own on-site restaurants, it seemed to me like a distillery restaurant was exactly what I had been preparing for, even though I didn't know it at the time."
Yianni apprenticed at Smooth Amber Spirits in West Virginia, spent tons of time researching and reading as much as he could about distilling, and ended up touring about 75 distilleries around the country. He and his father, George, then spent several years preparing for opening their distillery restaurant. They took over The Gettysburg Furniture Factory; it took a lot time and hard work to pull off this massive renovation.
While setting up the building and distillery, they were growing some of their own ingredients at Gettysburg National Military Park (GNMP). Yianni explains, "We really had to work hard to convince GNMP to sign an agricultural lease with [people] that [weren't] actually farmers themselves. What we ended up with is an even stronger connection to the local agricultural community than we would have without that lease. It also has helped us lay the groundwork so that we will eventually be able to run a really special edition of liquor. These special editions will be limited in quantity and in frequency, but we are making batches of spirits that are distilled 100 percent from grain grown on the park. We are actually going to be able to have a product on our shelves that will be Gettysburg National Military Park in [a] bottle. A portion of the sale from each of these bottles will actually be donated to help with GNMP preservation."
When you walk in the door, there's an open-space concept with long tables. Yianni wanted a more community feeling and even has small plates on the menu to encourage sharing family-style. He says, "Having spent a good amount of my childhood being raised in a diner, I wanted to recreate the camaraderie that existed at the diner counter. Story swapping and fish tale telling is also encouraged. The community tables, lack of TVs and Wi-Fi, and sharable plates are all there to help foster that social environment."
You'll find special drinks of the day, like the Painkiller, which tastes like a creamy piña colada and is served with a wedge of lime and an umbrella. All of their craft-made cocktails are creative and unique, using their own spirits. Their Big Harvest Punch includes corn whiskey—a robust white spirit made from local corn. This drink also has house-made chai spice, preserved citrus and cider.
Yianni's father has vast experience in the restaurant business, having owned three different restaurants over the years. In fact, George created Mason Dixon's first menu. However, Yianni explains, "Our current menus have been created by our two chefs and one bartender. The three of them have been incredible in taking my overall concepts and sometimes vague ideas and turning them into an amazing array of offerings."
One of their most popular items on the menu is a bánh mì, a Vietnamese sandwich popping up everywhere on menus these days. Mason Dixon's offering has whiskey glazed pork belly, Sriracha aioli and arugula replacing the typical cilantro. For an upgrade, you can get their shrimp and andouille hush puppies along with your sandwich—they are crispy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside, with loads of flavor, bits of andouille sausage and a nice touch of heat at the end.
Brussels sprouts that are deep-fried, topped with cranberries and nuts, and finished with a touch of honey and lemon are a must-try.
Mason Dixon Distillery also sells production tours and tastings. The tours include tastings of their spirits and "explain what each liquor is made from and how it relates to the taste that is found in the spirit," says Yianni. After the tasting, the tour continues back in the production room and explains each step of their process.
It seems that Yianni has found his niche in small batch distilling and has found his home in Gettysburg. The distance from farm to glass is only five to 10 miles, so Mason Dixon Distillery truly understands the rich history in this town. They no doubt will be around for years to come, for theirs is a history you can taste.

My Sept. 4 blog, "Better (12 years) late than never," discussed the new way peer reviewers are evaluating a firm's compliance with audit risk assessment standards. If you're unfamiliar with this new guidance, take a couple minutes to read up on it.
Now there's help! The AICPA has resources available, at no charge, for firms to use and develop their risk assessment skills. These resources include:
The top risk assessment violation that's been identified is the failure to understand internal controls when identifying the client's risks. Even the smallest audit engagement requires a development of this understanding.
The other most common risk assessment violations are:
Don't forget: A major culprit in risk assessment violations is the continued struggle of many CPAs in documenting their thoughts and considerations related to audit planning, especially for engagements where there is long tenure and deep knowledge of a client's business. While there are situations when the phrase, "It goes without saying," is appropriate, performing an audit isn't one of them. Document planning and assessment, and tie together the risk assessment work and the audit procedures.
The focus on audit risk assessment in peer reviews will only increase in the coming years. It is crucial that firms develop a solid understanding of what is required and how to carry it out. It's up to individual CPAs to ensure that the future is one where risk assessment violations become uncommon.

Interview: Shannon Connor Winward on "Witch's Hour"
Tell us a bit about "Witch's Hour."
The seed for "Witch's Hour" came from my interest in food history. I've always wanted to be a writer, but when I was in college I decided if I had chosen any other career it would have been "food anthropologist." I love food—the archaeology of food, food origins, food as culture. And of course cooking and eating food. I still might go back to school for it after my kids are grown—I'll be a world-traveling food-expert grannie. But for now I just write about it. "Witch's Hour" combines all of my favorite ingredients: history, death, ghosts, magic, fierce female characters, and (of course) food.
What was the inspiration for this story, or what prompted you to write it?
I've had the idea to set a story in a medieval kitchen for a while now, but didn't know what story I wanted to tell until I was invited to write for an upcoming "hauntings"-themed anthology; there had to be an actual, supernatural haunting as well as a character who is psychologically haunted. That led me to Esmelda, a woman with magical and culinary talents who's haunted by her childhood abuser, both figuratively and literally. But the anthology was postponed, so on a lark I sent it to F&SF, which has always been at the top of my bucket-list of publications. And here we are! Now I have to write a new story for the anthology, which is due out in late 2017. I think I'll manage.
What kind of research, if any, did you do for this story?
I read quite a bit about life in medieval castles, food storage in the middle ages, and traditional old world recipes. There's a rabbit-based dish (conies) in the story that I lifted straight from an online archive. I'd love to try it in real life, but I doubt my kids would eat it.
"Witch's Hour" manages to make a vivid medieval fantasy out of unusual characters: the kitchen staff. Did you find anything difficult or intriguing in focusing on a cook rather than a king or a knight?
To me, what happens in a kitchen is high drama. It was fun to put the politics and royal intrigue on a back-burner and tell a story from the shadows. I wrote it all very quickly and organically; the hardest part was figuring out how to handle the psychology of the main character, who has been through some terrible things but is also cruel herself at times. She has a heart, but it's been sliced and diced, and it shows.
What are you working on now?
I launched a literary journal this spring, Riddled with Arrows. We'll be opening to submissions for our summer issue soon. As for my own work, I just finished a dark-fantasy novella; it still needs finessing, but I'm excited because it's more action-oriented than what I typically write. After that I've got a number of short stories in the queue, and maybe some longer projects. I've been circulating a novel for a while, and toying with another one. My writing life has been sluggish due to family issues, but I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel—and it's full of stories.
"Witch's Hour" appears in the May/June 2017 issue of F&SF.

Changes in line-up don't seem to have affected the firm's ability to produce a big result.
- Pending cases as counsel:
- 12
- Value of pending counsel work:
- US$19.2 billion
- Treaty cases:
- 5
- Current arbitrator appointments:
- 2 (of which 1 is as sole or chair)
- No. of lawyers sitting as arbitrator:
- 1
Winston & Strawn has had arbitration specialists in the US and Europe for many years – but the line-up has changed a fair amount in that time.
The origins of the group go back to 1993, when the firm merged with Geneva boutique Surrey & Morse. It was a unique local outfit comprising US litigators and Swiss lawyers who undertook WTO work and advocacy before international tribunals, especially the Iran-US Claims Tribunal. The practice later expanded to Paris (reportedly to help long-term client Disney) and to Washington, DC, as investment arbitration took off. In 2008, when Heller Ehrman collapsed, the firm bolted on its arbitration practice in Hong Kong.
However, since that era, a chunk of the Washington, DC, office left for Foley Hoag and Arnold & Porter, while in Geneva, the anchor of the commercial arbitration practice, Marc Palay, moved to Sidley Austin.
More recently, Foley Hoag poached two partners in the Paris office – Bruno Leurent and Thomas Bevilacqua – and a team of associates.
To the firm's credit, it's been quick to fill any gaps: it relocated Ricardo Ugarte from Chicago to Geneva (he's a member of the ICC investor-state arbitration task force) and hired two members of the international arbitration team of Morgan Lewis & Bockius in Washington, DC – Mark Bravin (who cut his teeth representing US claimants before the Iran-US Claims Tribunal) and of counsel Don Wallace, who's sat as an ICSID arbitrator.
The Geneva office has also made an of counsel hire.
It has to be said, for all this to and fro, some of the firm's bigger cases have been going just fine.
In the US, the practice has boots on the ground in Washington, DC, New York and, to a lesser extent, Chicago and Houston.
In Europe, it's based in Geneva and Paris. In Hong Kong, the point person is David Hall-Jones, an accredited CIETAC arbitrator.
Who uses it?
States, for the most part. The firm is defending Ecuador in a range of arbitration and US court matters, including in the multi-front efforts by Chevron to block enforcement of an US$18 billion court judgment on environmental liability. It's also acting for Chile in the interminable Victor Pey Casado proceedings at ICSID (concerning a newspaper expropriated by the Pinochet regime) and advised Jordan in another ICSID matter.
There are some investors on the books too – it's acting for two central European investment funds in a claim against Bulgaria concerning a waste management company.
Meanwhile, Don Wallace is also advising Philip Morris Asia in connection with its controversial treaty claim against Australia over tobacco packaging legislation.
Past clients include Abbott Labs, Motorola, Symbion Power, Alstom (concerning a project in Afghanistan), engineering consultancy AMEC and US manufacturer PPG.
Track record
Pretty good, it has to be said. In December 2011, Mark Bravin, working in tandem with a team from CMS Cameron McKenna in Bucharest, had a US$140 million ICSID claim against Romania thrown out – and recovered US$8 million in costs. (Greek national Spyridon Roussalis brought the case over his stake in a privatised frozen-food warehousing business.) The case wasn't an unalloyed success though, as a majority of the panel also rejected Romania's counterclaim for US$80 million.
Meanwhile, its client Ecuador professed to be delighted when the tribunal in The Hague hearing a claim by Chevron only awarded the oil company US$96 million. That sum fell well short of the US$700 million Chevron was asking for.
The Winston team was led by C MacNeil Mitchell and Eric Bloom in Washington, DC (with Foley Hoag as co-counsel). That case concerned the failure of the Ecuadorean courts to resolve a number of contractual disputes over 15 years and is separate from the "Lago Agrio" environmental liability dispute in which the firm is also involved.
The team secured Ecuador a good result in 2010 too, helping to defeat a US$200 million claim by Murphy Oil at the jurisdictional stage. (The panel ruled that the investor hadn't complied with a six-month cooling-off period mandated in the BIT before filing for arbitration.)
The counsel on the other side in that one? King & Spalding.
In the US courts, it managed to halt a US$6 billion arbitration initiated by Chevron and Texaco against Ecuador under AAA rules. The decision was upheld on appeal in 2009.
Recent events
After the departures documented above, the firm made a number of hires and reshuffles in 2011. As well as Bravin and Wallace joining in Washington, DC, at the start of the year, New York partner John Roesser moved to the international arbitration practice in September, having previously worked in the firm's securities litigation group.
Meanwhile in Geneva, of counsel Laurence Burger joined from Swiss firm Tavernier Tschanz.
Serendipitously, Mark Bravin received news of his client's victory in the Spyridon Roussalis v Romania case a day before he spoke at a seminar in Bucharest on the subject of dispute resolution and pre-investment planning.
The firm's work for Ecuador against Chevron continues to take unexpected turns. Although the Lago Agrio plaintiffs obtained an US$18 billion court judgment against Chevron in early 2011, an UNCITRAL panel at The Hague has ordered Ecuador to take all possible measures to stop its enforcement. In early 2012, the panel reissued its interim order as an interim award, meaning Chevron can now get it enforced in national courts under the New York Convention.

Our Atlanta negligent security lawyers were disappointed to see earlier this month that Georgia's Supreme Court upheld a provision of the new tort reform law dealing with premises liability.
The case at hand was about a Georgia man, Nairobi Couch, who was attacked, abducted, and robbed by unknown assailants at a Red Roofs Inn at North Druid Hills Road and Buford Highway in Atlanta in August 2009. None of Mr. Couch's attackers have ever been identified. He sued Red Roof claiming they failed to keep their premises safe and provide adequate security, according to news sources. Red Roof filed an intention to argue "fault of non-partyunder a recently amended Georgia law and stating that the damages should be decreased in whole or in part due to the fault of the criminals who attacked Mr. Couch. Mr. Couch opposed the move, and challenged the amended statute as unconstitutional. Mr. Couch's lawsuit is still pending before a federal court in Atlanta, but US District Court for the Northern District of Georgia Judge Steve Jones asked the state Supreme Court for an interpretation of the 2005 tort reform law.
The Supreme Court decided, in a five to two vote, that when deciding on an award a jury can consider the fault of the assailants and apportion the amount of damages to Red Roof based on the percentage of responsibility for the attack. The Court also stated that a jury can receive a special verdict form requiring it to apportion the damages between the hotel and the assailants, if the jury finds liability. Writing for the majority, Justice Harold Melton said the law "makes all persons responsible according to their respective percentages of responsibility.Justice Melton went on to say in the ruling, "The rules of statutory construction, including reliance on ordinary word meanings, dictate that an assailant who evades hotel security to intentionally abduct, rob and assault a hotel guest is, at the very least, partially at €˜fault' for the brutal injuries inflicted by the assailant on that guest.He also wrote, "As a party at fault, such an assailant must be included with others who may be at fault, e.g., the property owner in a premises liability action, for purposes of apportioning damages among all wrongdoing parties.
Justice Robert Benham dissented from the ruling, writing that Georgia's common law prohibits consideration of intentional conduct in assessing damages.
Lawyers who defend plaintiffs in these cases expressed disappointment at the majority's ruling on this issue. They claim this ruling allows property owners who fail to prevent crime and keep their premises safe to escape responsibility for their negligence. This can only hurt the victims of these crimes.

Dear Diary,
The road from Judea was treacherous. Finally settled in Moab for many, many months, I found myself in a stage where life is commensurate to and possibly even more tragic and bumpy than the life of famine in Judea. My lord Elimelech passed shortly after our arrival in Moab. I have no words to describe that sorrow. I grieved not only for my husband but for my belly, this dirt, and a roof. For as a woman I depend upon others for my needs.
Despite this loss, small celebrations took place as my dear men each were blessed with marriages to lovely Moab women: devoted and loyal Ruth (of Mahlon), and Chillion's fawn, now known to be named Orpah. These were times to celebrate; however, the years following were empty of children. Neither wife produced a child. This sorrow follows my two men to their graves as Mahlon and Chillion now have also each passed. There is no option for me now but to return to Bethlehem and be called Mara–for the Almighty doth punish me with such loss, emptiness, poverty, and suffering.
Dearest Ruth accompanied me. Leaving her own kin, my dearest daughter-in-law traveled back to Bethlehem with me at Barley harvest season. For, without Ruth, who would hold my arm in the street markets and show me kindnesses? Who would suffer as I suffer? I am but a living mother of dead sons and widowed. She has shown me grace; she has sacrificed for me, only her mother-in-law.
Working in the barley, in the fields of Boaz, dear Ruth met the man himself and lay at his feet. A recent union was celebrated, a fresh start for a tragic plot. She is now his wife, and a child is expected! This child is to be called Obed if a son. I feel there to be great, great kings to bestow promise among our family and the world in generations to come. Praise God.

It was 2009. I was several months into a new job — my first job as a manager — and I was miserable. Miserable to the point of insomnia. Depression. Anger. Constant self-doubt. And even bouts of tears.
I won't lie. I made a lot of missteps as a first-time manager, and those missteps led to their own stresses. But the misery I'm writing about today came from people I didn't manage, people in my circle who, for some reason, targeted me (and others, I'd learned) with gossip and rumors and all-around nastiness.
I had just moved from one area of the organization, where nearly every day was full of fun and I had great friends, to an area where I felt attacked and was put on the defensive. Day after day, tension built. I hated going to the office and I questioned whether I'd made the right decision.
Finally, I reached out to a friend of mine from church — a wonderful man who became one of my go-to mentors. He managed a local radio station and led a staff of advertising salespeople. His salespeople had to hustle to make a living. Much of their take-home pay relied on commission, which is very demanding.
I've never had a desire for sales, but in desperation to leave my situation, I kinda sorta wanted to beg my friend for a job.
He and his wife invited me and Corinn to their home for dinner. I broke down in front of them and shared my woes.
My friend listened. Then he smiled one of those knowing smiles.
He knew I was a people-pleaser, and the last thing I'd want to do is hurt someone or make an enemy in my workplace.
But my friend, with years more experience under his belt, knew something that I didn't — that no matter how hard I'd try, I wouldn't succeed with everyone.
"Eric, I know you," he said. "And I know what I'm going to say next is going to be hard for you to hear, and it might even hurt."
Then he paused a fatherly pause, making sure I was ready to take the hit.
"Not everyone is going to like you."
I stared at him and thought about the statement.
He was right. It was like a gut punch. It hurt.
At that point in my professional life, I didn't feel that I'd done anything — that I knew of anyway — to intentionally damage a professional relationship. So why would someone genuinely not like me? Even hate me?
It made no sense.
But it was true.
My friend's words helped me realize that, for whatever reason, there will be people who don't like me. Maybe it's something I've done to them that I didn't know I'd done. Maybe I was mean and didn't realize it. Maybe it's a perception — right or wrong — they have of me. Maybe I remind them of someone who's hurt them. Maybe it's some hangup that I'll never understand.
It's hard to explain, but my talk with my friend made a difference. I began walking into the office as a changed man with a new mission. I'd continue to be me. I'd continue to do my job. I'd continue to learn to be a better manager. I'd continue to do my best to be positive and happy. And if people didn't like me? That was on them.
And you know what? I actually found true happiness for the next two years in that position. (Well….stressful happiness. It was a tough job!)
Now, when I look back on that time, I see where God stretched me as a man, as a professional, as a coworker, and as a manager, more than I'd ever been stretched in my life. I learned more about myself and about God and about capacity and about the need for a strong support system. I ended up making a few great friends in that position. We did great work together, were innovative and really moved the needle.
I guess we just need to accept that we can't please everyone. The best we can do is continue to work to be the people God calls us to be.

Autograph letter signed ("Piero Maroncelli"), to a music professor, 1843
One page, 4to, a bifolium. With separate oblong sheet, being the envelope, also signed by Maroncelli. A fine example save a few small chips and soft creases at edges, envelope with recipient's name cut out. Item #404328
Piero Maroncelli writes in 1843 to an unspecified professor of music, discussing a third party, who seems to be the addressee's music pupil:
"To my respectable friend,
I have learned that Mr. [redacted] has for a long time taken lessons from you: I told him myself, a long time ago, to take advantage of your generous offers because I believed we could have made something out of him, by means of insistence, persuaded that two can always make it more possible than one. I don't know why he didn't take my advice.
But as a colleague and friend you [nonexistent word -- perhaps misspelling of "consider"] to be my duty to say what I think of him, about music, and about morality, for your benefit. The most honest, simple, and frank path to do this, seemed to be to write you a letter, that I was obligated to write. I leave it to your prudence to give it to him, after having read it, either open or closed.
Be persuaded, my dear friend, of the perfect consideration and the sincere attachment with which I have always been, I am, and I will always be,
Pierre Maroncelli"
Piero Maroncelli, was born in 1795 in Forli, Italy, and was sent to Naples at age fifteen to study music; he became involved with two underground insurrectionary organizations, first the Carbonari and then the Conciliatore. He was imprisoned from 1820-1830 for his political activity; following his release, he departed for France, where he married the German singer Amalia Schneider. In addition to composing operas, Maroncelli also contributed literary reviews and translations to American periodicals; when he came to visit the United States, "literary circles welcomed him upon his arrival." Maroncelli's two-volume translation of Silvio Pellico's 'Le mie prigoni and Addizioni,' was published in Cambridge by Norton in 1836 (Angeline H. Lograsso, "Poe's Piero Maroncelli," PMLA, 1943, 787). Edgar Allan Poe notably wrote a biography sketch of Maroncelli's life and literary career in 'Literati.' Maroncelli remained in New York, and was a close friend of Lorenzo Aa Ponte. He died in New York in August 1846.

The turmoil at the University of Florida over its tax program
Blog Emperor Caron has been tracking this--one might start here. One peculiarity of the critical analysis of the tax program by UF faculty member Robert Rhee is that, in discussing the Sisk data on faculty citations, he fails to note (at least not that I saw) that tax is a low-citation field compared to corporate or constitutional law or just about every other field! That does lead me to wonder about the reliability of other parts of his analysis.
Meanwhile, the drama continues here, with Rhee replying to a colleague. I must admit, the spectacle of this debate about a school's program playing out on blogs is an embarrassment by itself. Between the Blog Emperor and the perpetually aggrieved Jeffrey Harrison (who naturally, has been weighing in on this affair), also a UF faculty member, Dean Rosenbury has her hands full! Florida was fortunate to get a Dean of this caliber, folks there should behave better!

Nore Swim postponed until August 11
THE Nore Swim has been postponed.
The annual event between Greensbridge and John's Bridge city was to have been held on Saturday but high water levels in the River Nore have forced the organisers to postpone until Saturday, August 11. There were major safety concerns because of the flood waters and the speed of the current. Mick Power and his band of volunteers are hoping that as many people as possible will take part in the re-scheduled swim on August 11 which raises thousands of euro for local charities every year.

I started gaining unwanted weight at the age of 28. Why do I say "unwanted"? Is there such a thing as "wanted weight"? Well, for the longest time I was really thin. In fact, I even got into a weight gain program just to be 10lbs heavier. But gone are the days and metabolism slowing down as we age will always be a universal truth. While exercise remains to be the ideal way to cut down on the bulges, it's a tough job to handle so I'm sharing with you some tricks to that optical illusion slim.
First things first. Always remember to accentuate your assets because it would draw the attention away from your problem areas.
For the ARMS
To "slenderize" your arms, use an arm shaper/minimizer underneath your quarter or long-sleeved tops. Tres Sleek makes them using nicely-textured and smooth fabrics but you'll be amazed how your arms get compressed. If you are fond of wearing tees, transparent strips (a brand called Instant Arm Lift makes them) can help you get rid of flabby arms pretty well.
But if any of these don't appeal to you, you can either wear 3/4 (or slightly shorter) sleeves as they cut off the arms at a slim point which make them look slimmer; or floaty, voluminous, and fluted sleeves.
For the WAIST/TUMMY
Don't wear low-rise hipster pants because they reveal the budge. Instead, pair up your below-the-belly-button pants with banded tops or wear a belt right above your hips when wearing longer tops and dresses. Most full, flowing skirts add volume to the lower body which give the illusion of a smaller waist by making the hips look fuller. If you have extra bucks, get a body shaper because it can tuck the tummy and make the torso appear slimmer.
For the LEGS
Putting on a pair of dark-colored stockings will draw the attention away from your legs. Pair them with boots and a skirt/dress. If you're on the short side and want to add a little height, there is nothing better than pairing wide-leg pants with a pair of heels. Just make sure you pick a pair of pants that doesn't accentuate your waist.
If you're into athletics, your calves might look a little out of shape. You can make your calves look slimmer by slipping on a pair of heels. You don't have to wear super high heels to achieve this, any heel will pretty much do the job.

Margot Robbie exudes confidence and style in all aspects of her life. Whether she is acting in a film, stunning on the red carpet, producing a movie or starring in the launch of the Gabrielle Chanel Essence perfume, Robbie radiates an effortless elegance that we all want to emulate.
Exactly How Margot Robbie's 'Once Upon a Time In Hollywood' Makeup Artist Turned the Actress Into Sharon Tate
The Once Upon A Time in Hollywood star celebrated the new fragrance with a dinner at Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood on Thursday, September 12, and dished all about her perfume tips — and the first one may surprise you.
While not all of Us can be Academy Award-nominated actresses, we can apply our perfume the same way Robbie does.
Instead of spraying it in the air and walking through it or having a top secret A-list perfume ritual, the 29-year-old beauty's approach to wearing perfume is simplistic and practical.
"I hope I'm not doing it wrong, but I just spray it on my wrists and then spray it kind of on my neck," she admitted to reporters at the event.
"I feel like it would be more fun to do it that way [walking through it], but I feel like I'd get less of the perfume probably on me. I might try that the next time I'm putting it on," she continued.
See All the Front Row-Celeb Style From the Chanel Pre-Fall 2019 Fashion Show
Beyond wanting to smell like gorgeous white flowers including tuberose, ylang-ylang, jasmine and orange blossom that the Chanel Gabrielle Essence encapsulates, Robbie wears perfume to get an extra boost of self-assurance.
"This scent in particular definitely makes me [feel confident]. I think it's distinctively feminine and so for sure I feel like it's a very confident [scent] and I feel like it's someone who's leaning into their femininity and feeling empowered by it," she spilled.
Robbie and Chanel seem to be the perfect pair and the brand holds a special place in her heart.
"The first time I wore a Chanel gown was to the Critics Choice Awards. It was before our partnership had kind of begun and I won, so that was a good luck charm. Good things might happen when I wear Chanel," she exclaimed.
Margot Robbie and More Served Up Major Fashion Looksat the Chanel Pre-Oscar 2018 Awards Dinner
Other than the Gabrielle Chanel Essence, Robbie loves the smell of Mother Earth. "I'm gonna sound very whimsical, but I love the smell after it rains. … It rarely rains in L.A., so thunderstorms are something I miss," she said.

RSA isn't secure and doubling key size isn't going to help in achieving a degree of safety against a quantum adversary. There are lots of theories and concepts in physics which can be readily understood and registered in mind by taking advantage of laboratory experiments.

As you go over your choices, go get to understand the Chemistry tutors better too. Science has been divided into various sub-groups based on their concerned subject of study. The absolute most trusted Physics Homework Help Online Free in the world.
Start by the ones provided to you in class and ask your professor if you think you're prepared for more challenges. It is going to greatly assist you when you're studying such a program. My approach to Chemclub was going to give students an excellent quantity of freedom to experiment.
How to Choose Learning Physics
The body consists of a few dollars worth of chemicals. If you prefer to gain credit for any problems you did, then writing the proper unit is critical. From time to time, the important skill isn't finding or building a model, but understanding how to enhance a current model, much like a budget or airline design.
Who Else Wants to Learn About Learning Physics?
My understanding might be faulty and my execution might not be optimal. It isn't hard to get distracted to speak about other things in life. So, there's no reason to stop from learning chemistry is a more comfortable and much better way.
The very first time you try one, it is most likely a great idea to use an experiment that another person has prepared. Learning how to swing a bat takes a terrific deal of focus once you first attempt to hit a ball. It's tough to know which is going to be the case without opening any of them, but there are a few things to consider prior to proceeding.

The information needs to be fun and accessible. You will also receive the occasion to find interviews with people using biochemistry in a full variety of careers. An enjoyable approach to introduce chemistry for children.
Interestingly enough, since the technique isn't about trying all the possible prime facets, only the prospective periods, you do not need to try many random numbers to successfully locate a prime factor of N. Whenever the previous step in the scientific way is tested over and over again and it's still not contracted, it's then called a law or principle. You aren't attempting to keep in mind every particular connection you make, therefore it isn't important if they aren't perfect.
What Is So Fascinating About Learning Physics?
It's possible to download the book immediately following your buy. In the world today, facts are easily available by a fast search on a telephone, tablet, or computer, yet having the ability to use that information to address the problems of today and meet the challenges of the future necessitates something more than simply knowing facts. Also, get to be aware of the details which you're attempting to address.
The Chronicles of Learning Physics
Hours vary based on the subject. Nobody exam can cover everything an instructor considers important, and thus don't ignore a topic you believe is important just because it fails to appear on old exams. They are eager to begin class and often arrive early at the computer lab, logging on to the Internet and beginning research on their own.

This cropped up on my facebook newsfeed today as something I wrote as a response to some crappy videos that was doing the rounds in the media a few years ago. I deactivated facebook soon after to preserve my mental sanity from being bashed by people whose fear is so big, their inner peace gets shaken every time someone says "Feminism".
In order to preserve the memory of that battle for my own courage, I will post the link here.
Happy Reading!!

Q: I've just gotten engaged, and am starting grad school in the fall. My parents are all over me, saying that I "have" to buy a home right away, and that paying rent is throwing money away. I'm not sure where my career will lead, and I have student loan debt. should I buy now or wait?
A: Following your instincts is always a good idea; if you have serious doubts about your ability to meet the expenses of owning a home and paying for a mortgage, now may not be the time to buy. That said, home prices are low in many areas, which could make buying a small home or condo affordable. Although mortgage rates have lately been creeping up, they are still comparatively low, particularly for 5/1 hybrid adjustable rate mortgages, which carry a low initial rate for 5 years, and then reset as adjustable rate loans after five years. Talk to local real estate professionals and compare mortgage quotes to learn what's available in your area.
Q: I've been waiting to buy a home, and now my other half says we've waited too long, as mortgage rates are going up. Should we continue to shop for our next home, or wait some more until rates go back down?
A: Low mortgage rates alone are not a great reason for buying a home. Are you ready to buy? Do you need a larger home? Also, no one knows when rates may go lower; many analysts are predicting an upward trend for the next few months. Request quotes from several mortgage lenders to learn what you can afford in today's markets.

Consumerism in the world of healthcare means that patients are taking a more active interest in the cost and quality of the services they receive. They have been forced to foot the bill for an ever-larger share of the total cost, and they want to make sure they are receiving the highest quality for their expenditure. We have written before about the impact of today's high-deductible health insurance plans, and thus far the slow dissolution of the Affordable Care Act is not causing employers or insurers to back down from those high deductibles.
Radiology practices, and imaging centers in particular, have to address the priorities of the patients to remain successful in this environment. Studies have shown that cost is the biggest determinant in a patient's choice of healthcare services, with quality of services coming in second. Along with cost, convenience is an important factor. Let's explore some of the ways your radiology practice can capitalize on these priorities.
Create a positive image
Some healthcare services are non-emergent and are therefore something patients can take the time to shop for. Routine imaging, such as periodic mammograms, certainly falls into this category. Patients can take advantage of the internet to shop for availability, pricing and reviews. Imaging centers that are consumerism-focused will have up-to-date web sites and social media pages with good information for patients. They will pay attention to the feedback posted, and proactively take the time to post positive testimonials to offset the inevitable negative reviews. This is the first step toward transparency and good communication, both of which go a long way toward patient satisfaction with the practice – which will translate into enhanced revenue through patient loyalty and better collection of fees.
Don't sweep fee collection under the rug – deal with it!
Avoiding discussion with patients about payment is outdated – embracing the topic and helping your patients understand their insurance coverage is the way to succeed in the age of consumerism. Even when the definitive word on patient costs must come from the insurer, discussing the patient's coverage, knowing the likely level of insurance payment and the resulting co-insurance or co-payment is good customer service your patients will appreciate, not a task the practice should avoid.
Collecting co-payments at the time of service has been recommended for decades, but in today's environment a patient's level of payment is not always clear up front. The claim has to be filed with insurance, adjusted to the contract fee schedule, then the visit might be applied to the deductible and no payment made by the plan. Rather than waiting for all this to take place, many practices are obtaining authorization from the patient to charge their credit card up to a pre-determined limit when the processing is completed.
Collecting good insurance information is essential. Rather than asking, "Is your insurance the same?" be sure to look at the insurance card at each visit. Patients will often complain about this procedure, but when they understand it will help them avoid getting a bill in the mail later, they will better appreciate your practice's diligence. Look into using an insurance verification system such as the one offered by InstaMed to then immediately make use of the insurance card information. These systems allow the office to quickly verify the patient's coverage, eligibility, and often the level of payment using a national database.
Know your market
Your practice's pricing should be competitive within their relevant region, and the fee schedule for common procedures should be readily available for patients to reference. For more complex procedures, the reception/scheduling staff should have a mechanism for easily obtaining the correct pricing estimates to give to patients when they ask for it. Being able easily provide this information will assist the patient with their need to schedule a procedure, and it might set your practice apart from others that cannot provide it. Patients want to know in advance what they will be responsible for; don't let their confusion, or yours, on this issue drive business elsewhere.
This concern is especially true for imaging centers that are owned by a hospital, as we discussed in a recent article on Hospital Outpatient Departments, where the hospital and physician might be billing separately. Patients are generally unaware of this billing process, so it is often the source of much confusion. The information given to the patient has to be combined and clearly explained so they can properly check with their insurance plan about coverage. And, if one entity or the other is not participating with the patient's insurance plan, the new state regulations restricting "balance billing" or "surprise billing" might preclude collection from the patient. Providing a bit of education on these issues via your website can go a long way toward preventing collection delays later.
Accepting as many insurance plans as possible will make it easier for patients to select your facility. However, if your facility does not accept the patient's insurance, then a discounted self-pay fee schedule can be offered, along with an opportunity for payment over time when necessary. If the patient is willing, monthly credit card charges that are pre-authorized will make time-payment plans easier for them and more reliable for the practice.
Other patient-friendly ideas
There are other ways your imaging center can distinguish itself from the competition and cement patient loyalty. The radiologists themselves can play an important role by speaking directly with patients to deliver significant results, as we reported in a 2016 blog article. Like discussing fees, this idea is also counter to the norm that has persisted for generations of radiologists – but the new healthcare economy and its focus on patient-centered, value-based care demands that physicians adopt new ideas.
For hospital-based practices, consider also how your clinical data can be put to work implementing new processes for identifying incidental findings and communicating the need for follow-up care to both patients and their PCPs. We deployed such a system with one of our radiology practice clients and realized clear benefits. Patient follow-up rates increased by nearly 50%. Among those returning for imaging, 23% had new or worsening conditions where our intervention was clearly needed. Such an approach helps position your radiologists as proactive stewards of health – a new role that patients and PCPs alike appreciate.
Transportation to the imaging center may be provided at no charge to the patient, provided the practice establishes and adheres to a uniform policy consistently applied. Under federal rules, the offer of transportation cannot be marketed to the public and cannot be used as an inducement to attract patients to the facility. However, when the patient requires transportation and the practice can provide it, the patient will certainly be pleased!
In their annual Trends in Healthcare Payments Annual Report, InstaMed concludes, "Prioritizing consumer demands has to become the new normal in healthcare. If the industry is meant to help consumers, then why is there so much friction in healthcare payments? Consideration of the consumer experience is often an afterthought." Many of the ideas presented in this article have been covered before in our blog, as these are ongoing concerns – in fact, opportunities -- that should be considered heavily by your practice leadership to be sure your patient experience is optimized.
We'll help keep this topic in front of our readers, so subscribe today to avoid missing the latest information to help you maximize your radiology practice revenue.

The 2011 World Hydropower Congress took place in Iguaçu, Brazil, close to the site of the Itaipu dam, a binational project which is home to the world's second-largest hydropower station by installed capacity.
The 2011 congress covered a broad range of topics, including policies and market initiatives to advance sustainable hydropower worldwide, strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate change, and project investment and financing.
This event brought together delegates from government agencies, industry, research institutes, environmental groups and civil society to help shape the future strategy for the hydropower sector. High-level speakers and experts addressed the key topics of the congress: sustainability, water, energy, climate and investment.
Key initiatives such as the Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol and the UNESCO/IHA GHG Measurement Guidelines for Freshwater Reservoirs were also discussed at the congress, bringing this crucial work in sustainability to a wider audience.
Study and networking tours before and after the congress provided delegates with unique insights into Brazil's advanced hydropower sector. Other highlights included a visit to the world-famous Iguaçu falls by moonlight and a light and sound show at the Itaipu dam.
In 2013, the fourth World Hydropower Congress took place in Sarawak, Malaysia, under the patronage of the Government of Sarawak. It was the first time the event was hosted in the Southeast Asian region. The theme of the congress was "Advancing Sustainable Hydropower".
More than 500 participants from 60 countries gathered in Kuching, including ministers, high-level decision makers from the hydropower, water and energy sectors, heads of organisations, experts, representatives of civil society and community leaders.
The varied plenary sessions addressed a broad range of issues, including directions for hydropower development, water and energy policy, the concept of modern hydropower, roles for the Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol in decision-making, and incorporating sustainability into business practice.
The 2013 World Hydropower Congress was also an excellent opportunity to raise the profile of Sarawak among the international hydropower community. Networking tours gave the opportunity for delegates to explore Sarawak's cultural attractions and get a better understanding of the recent hydropower developments in the region.
In May 2015, the International Hydropower Association hosted one of the most important gatherings for hydropower decision-makers and professionals in Beijing, China.
The fifth World Hydropower Congress brought together over 1,000 delegates from more than 60 countries to discuss the future of sustainable hydropower. They comprised representatives from governments, financial institutions, non-governmental organisations, research institutes, and private corporations.
The congress provided an opportunity for meaningful reflection on the milestone of 1,000 GW of installed hydropower capacity worldwide, which was achieved in 2014. Considering that this figure is set to more than double by 2050, many congress sessions addressed the need for the sustainable development of hydropower through in-depth and interdisciplinary discussion and debate.
Taking place at the new Yanqi Lake complex in north-eastern Beijing, the 2015 congress provided international participants with a unique insight into the unparalleled successes of the Chinese hydropower sector. In his closing remarks, Richard Taylor, the chief executive of IHA, acknowledged China as the leading country in hydropower development, and noted its increasing importance at an international level.
In May 2017, the International Hydropower Association hosted one of the most important gatherings for hydropower decision-makers and professionals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The sixth World Hydropower Congress brought together over 700 delegates from government, business, finance and civil society from over 60 countries to discuss how to help deliver better hydro in an interconnected world.
The Congress met for the first time in Africa with the support of the African Union Commission, the UN Economic Commission for Africa and the World Bank Group.

Since its founding in 2016, Genecast has aimed to enter the global liquid biopsy market, including the U.S. The company intends to compete in the global market by demonstrating technical excellence and marketability of the allele-discriminating priming system (ADPS), a self-developed selective gene amplification system, through a pre-market approval (PMA) clinical trial required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration(FDA).
Genecast CEO Baek Seung-Chan said, "We have secured a source technology and solution to monitor cancers with a sensitivity of and the solution to monitor the cancer with a sensitivity of 1/1,000,000 and have our technology verified through a global clinical trial in the liquid biopsy market, which is expected to change the future of humanity for the next three decades."
Genecast has secured ultra-sensitive detection technology by innovating the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
CTO Lee Byung-Chul developed a new DNA polymerase directly involved in gene amplification. This new polymerase, named Smart DNAP, is characterized by enhanced differentiation ability to amplify only mutated genes while leaving normal genes intact. By amplifying only the mutation gene, it is possible to achieve super sensitivity. Additionally, Genecast has completed a blood-based cancer diagnostic platform technology called ADPS, combining primer-probe design technology with reaction buffer optimization technology to maximize performance of Smart DNAP.
The ADPS has proven its detection sensitivity through repetitive pilot experiments and simple clinical trials. The company has verified the technology by securing more than 100 samples of blood samples of actual patients from domestic institutions including Korea University Medicine, Asan Hospital, and Yonsei Severance Hospital, and from overseas institutions such as Shanghai Clinical Research Center (SCRC) of China and YZY of China. As a result, the company secured a detection sensitivity of 0.0001%. Additionally, screening time was shortened to two hours and 30 minutes, and screening costs were reduced to 1/10 of the existing level, showing an economic advantage.
The primary goal of Genecast is to obtain approval for the ADPS-based 'EGFR mutation diagnostic kit', which can be used for selection of a non-small-cell lung cancer treatment, through the U.S. FDA's PMA clinical trial. Last November, the company applied for a clinical trial to the FDA and reached the final stage of consultation to enter a clinical trial. BT Solutions CEO Kim Do Hyun, who worked as an FDA examiner, is assisting Genecast. The company plans to complete the clinical trials and initiate the approval process by the third or fourth quarter of next year.
Genecast recently launched three research products in Korea, including the BRAF Mutation Test Kit, EGFR Mutation Test Kit, and JAK2 Mutation Test Kit. Among them, the BRAF Mutation Test Kit has a detection sensitivity of 0.0001% (3/3,000,000), while the other two research products Have a detection sensitivity of 0.01% in consideration of the reality of clinical situations.
Genecast plans to release six types of research-exclusive cancer gene diagnosis kits including KRAS, NRAS, PIK3CA, pTERT, IDH1 and IDH2 by the end of the year and to complete the CE-IVD approval by 2020.

Two abortion doulas who provided comfort f0r women having abortions claimed that people in the mainstream pro-choice didn't want to acknowledge that abortion was often painful to women, not "empowering."
In their book about being abortion doulas, the authors say:
"There were more traditional pro-choice groups and activists who would express concern about our acknowledgement of the emotion that accompanies an abortion. We had been fed narratives through our activist work that many people felt "empowered" by their abortions. But our very presence in the procedure room undermined that message by hinting that abortion might be physically painful or people might have complicated feelings about it. Mostly, what we saw from people having abortions was a nuanced mix of mourning and relief. We would rarely hear that our clients regretted their procedures, nor would be hear them speak of it in empowering terms. But when we talked about all of this, it often wasn't received by the pro-choice community the way we expected it to be."

Time Inc. on Wednesday announced an executive reorganization that the company says will better position the magazine giant for the future. Time Inc.'s CEO Joe Ripp said in an announcement to staffers that the changes will allow publisher to unify processes and unlock "advertising opportunities critical to our future."
As part of the changes, Time Inc., which owns Time, Fortune, People, Money, Sports Illustrated, and other magazines and websites, is officially centralizing its advertising sales under one executive, Mark Ford, who is the company's Chief Revenue Officer Global Advertising. The company described its ad sales restructuring as significant, and that it would refocus the unit into three divisions, including one group that will be focused on selling ads across titles. Time Inc.'s ad sales teams have historically been focused on selling ads for only individual brands.
On the editorial side, Alan Murray, the editor of Fortune, is taking over the role of Chief Content Officer, replacing Norman Pearlstine. Pearlstine, a former executive editor of the Wall Street Journal and editor-in-chief at Time Inc., will remain at the company as vice chairman.
Jen Wong, the head of Time Inc.'s digital operations, will also take on the role of overseeing The Foundry, the company's content studio. Rich Battista, a Time Inc. executive, will oversea all the company's brands. Evelyn Webster, a long-time Time Inc. executive and former head of Time Inc. UK, is leaving the company.
Time Inc. has been looking for ways to better compete with digital startups, such as BuzzFeed, that have emerged in the past few years and are grabbing a larger portion of online ad dollars. Time Inc. said the changes are part of a transition that began when the company was spun-off from Time Warner two years ago. Shares of Time Inc. TIME -0.30% , which initially traded for $25 after the spinoff, rose slightly on Wednesday on the news of the reorganization. Below is the full text of the email Ripp sent to Time Inc. employees on Wednesday announcing the changes:

How and what is the best way you all have found to record videos of your screens for sharing?
Correct Answer
Depending on your video card, you *might* have a solution built in. Radeon has ReLive and Nvidia has Shadowplay.
My personal computer has ReLive on it, and it has very little impact on the system as it is recording.
If those are not an option, I have had good luck using x-split (paid program) in the past to capture my screen. It is primarily meant for streaming video live, but has good options to record locally.
A free one is FRAPS, but that program, last i tried it, recorded in a raw uncompressed format and the files get big in a hurry.
Hope this helps out a little bit.
