SecurEnvoy remains Gartner 'Visionary'
Date: Jan 8, 2014
Category: Blog
Gartner Inc., a leading research and consulting company in the field of information technology, has published its latest Magic Quadrant for User Authentication (Ant Allen, December 9, 2013). SecurEnvoy, an expert in tokenless two-factor authentication, was among 20 vendors included in the Magic Quadrant.
The security specialist had already been placed in the Visionaries segment in the Magic Quadrant issued in March of last year.
SecurEnvoy developed the SecurAccess solution specifically for user-identification involving remote access. This server-based software allows users to uniquely identify themselves without the need for an additional, dedicated token. Instead, a mobile device (mobile phone, smartphone, laptop, netbook etc.) is used as a second identification factor. This device receives the numerical passcode required for obtaining access, which the user then combines with personally known access details in order to successfully log in. Users can choose whether the relevant code is sent by text message or e-mail, or generated in a soft token app.
Landline and QR code options help increase visionary position:
SecurAccess can also provide access even if users have no mobile phone reception and no Internet connection. With "One Swipe", another SecurEnvoy patent pending technology, users enter their PIN into the soft token app, after which the smartphone creates a one-time QR code. This is then photographed using the webcam on a computer, smart device or laptop, thus enabling unambiguous user identification. Furthermore, users can receive their passcodes via a landline telephone call and enter them using the telephone keys.
"We believe we have moved even closer to the leaders in their quadrant with our continued product development, global footprint and positive end user experience. Both our sales and marketing strategies have been developed and now coming to fruition alongside our market leading solutions, highlighted by the newly developed Voice Call and One Swipe authentication options," comments Steve Watts, Sales and Marketing Director at SecurEnvoy. "Our technology is used in small and medium-sized enterprises as well as in enterprise corporations. The end users experience is key, we have made the most simple yet secure method of an all-encompassing positive user experience. We've significantly expanded our partner network and are now well represented in the U.S. and Asia-Pacific markets alongside continuing development in our traditional market. Together this has led to a continued growth annually of in excess of 40 % year on year."
Andy Kemshall, CTO at SecurEnvoy, adds: "Offering the easiest possible authentication for users is always a priority, in line with our 'Authenticate your way' motto. Development in our solution has enabled the end user to manage the life time of their token host device widest offering a wide range of innovative tokenless technologies. With scalability and resilience has also seen the growth in choice and that's where we are seeing the greatest uptake. We have mastered the identity management issue in combination with giving choice 'putting the user in control'."

Roger Scholfield says he means it this time.
For years, every time he and his father, Vic, expanded their Scholfield Honda dealership at 7017 E. Kellogg, he says he's figured they wouldn't have to do it again.
"Each time you grow, you know you always think, 'oh, man, this looks so big, and … it's the most we'll ever need.' "
However, the Scholfields decided they needed a new place to hold all of their operations except for the used car and detail area, so they built a 54,000-square-foot building. The first phase of it opens on Monday.
Not that you can easily see it yet, though. The dealership's express service center building, which is going to be demolished, obscures the new building.
"Well, it's just right back there," Roger Scholfield says he tells people.
"Until it's like 'Move that building!' … it's going to be a shock to people because it does kind of blend in with the campus right now."
The Monday opening will be of the parts and service department and the accounting department.

It's my cease on the Paper Obsessed weblog tour , and I figured I'd share a little something old and new. Most of you understand that we have now been in our little home eight now for a couple of weeks and in that point we've got created quit a multitude! Just one thing – the shorter the lease, the upper the hire – that is the one downside. Ideal tourist points of interest are The Roman Baths and Abbey, the rooftop pool at Thermae Bath Spa, Jane Austen Centre, Stonehenge, Avebury, Lacock, Longleat Safari & Adventure Park and Castle Combe. Made of chipboard, this dream home might close up into a conveniently dealt with play set, in case young girls felt the necessity to convey every part to a good friend's home or Grandma's. The was an extention constructed before we moved here 2.5 years ago and there was damp after we moved in. We mounted the guttering and thought that had fastened it however having taking off the wall paper today I can see a massive patch of it, half on an external wall and half on an internal wall.
This is the primary Hub I have ever learn, the recommendation is terrific.I even have had a mold downside in the house porch because the beginning of December and was at my wits seems terrible and I knew it was also a health hazard. It will go throughout the home so that you simply have to comply with it. You can both take away it by pulling it through the walls and ceilings or you may cut it into smaller items (smaller items are simpler to strip). A very modest one bedroom residence would possibly only cost $650 a month in price range housing however those that lease it must earn no less than $1950 a month most often. You would have purchased your ticket for the 'Packet Boat' at the Packet House and boarded at the Boat Steps.
You are paying to have as much as 10 photographs and your house particulars made available online. They boast a mean 22 days to sell, but they will most likely value your house a little less than you are snug with as they will not speak up the value to get your online business. Each of my DIY Birdhouse Plans include a reducing list and diagram with step-by-step instructions on methods to build the birdhouse. What makes it particular for a beach home theme is when the natural components of shells, sand dollars, and starfish are added… together with white slipcovers, breezy white curtains and solar bleached wood accompanies the colors. He created a 3,500 square-foot life-sized Dream House to have a good time Barbie's fiftieth birthday. Stop in this weekend for a Friday 4pm to 8pm and Saturday & Sunday 10am to 3pm.
My dream house might very much look like my current one, but it could clean itself, no housekeeping needed. I understand you want to lower your expenses for a house…nonetheless, simply go straightforward on the marriage expense – dwell by yourself…you would have additional cash in the event you select to buy a house after getting married. Its virtually time to maneuver again and the nearer we get to the brand new house design the more I understand I will not be needing among the issues that I didn't promote in the previous storage sale! One of it's owners, Seth Magosky, who was working to turn the home into a Victorian life museum, died instantly and unexpectedly whereas working in the house only 6 months after purchasing the home.
My mother and father rented for years and I came upon later the landlady by no means raised the hire in all the years we lived there. Great Hub and a really comprehensive checklist of on-line property brokers, this is one more for you which ones advertises your house free on a range of websites. This is a free sell your personal residence website, however past that there are different companies you can pay for, e.g. you should buy a For Sale sign for £30, or pay for them to promote your own home on Google. Where the ecliptic intersects the aircraft of the meridian underfoot, on the backside of the chart, we've the Nadir or Fourth House cusp. An entire kitchen or possibly a few accent pieces for a sun and water washed décor.

Venus Envy
|Venus Envy
A History of Cosmetic Surgery
Elizabeth Haiken
Editorial Reviews
Cosmetic Surgery lies at the nexus of medicine and consumer culture," says University of Tennessee Historian, Elizabeth Haiken. In Venus Envy, she looks at this peculiar American medical specialty as it has developed over the 20th century. Doctors wanted power and control to only perform surgery for medical reasons; while patients--or consumers--wanted to alter their appearance as they saw fit, without much regard for the usual standards of medical necessity. Haiken documents this struggle in scientific debate, medical records, women's magazines, and the faces of celebrities like Fanny Brice, Michael Jackson and Cher. In the end, cosmetic surgery has become an accepted tool in the American drive toward self-definition. "Surgeons and patients are confident that by altering individual facial configurations cosmetic surgery can confer a wide range of benefits that together add up to the American dream--and they are right. -Amazon
I'm not a history buff, but for those of you who are the reviews indicate that this book is a one of a kind offering of how the growth industry of cosmetic surgery came to be the billion dollar enterprise it is today. TBS

"Daily Contemplation Series #13" "If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking" – George S. Patton Jr. Herd mentality takes us to known destination.

"Daily Contemplation Series #12" Practioners of Hinduism offer flowers and Panch Amrit (Honey, Sugar, Milk, Curd, Ghee or Clarified Butter) to the idol of the deity*.

"Daily Contemplation Series #11" Bhagwat Gita 3.35: It is far better to perform one's natural prescribed duty, though tinged with faults than to perform another's prescribed duty, though perfectly.

Daily Contemplation Series #10
"Daily Contemplation Series #10" Many of us offer flowers to deities without comprehending the esoteric meaning behind it. The flowers woven as a garland represent our pious and sacred thoughts. If we don't receive such pious thoughts in our mind, then it becomes a futile ritual that serves no purpose. Ancient rituals are a form
Daily Contemplation Series #9
"Daily Contemplation Series #9" God's grace is like the radio signals transmitted 24×7 and 365 days a year. We merely need tuning of our receiver to the frequency of God channel.
Daily Contemplation Series #8
"Daily Contemplation Series #8" God's grace is like the cloud burst that never stops. Our umbrella of false ego is usually open, and that prevents the rain of Grace from reaching us. Let's keep our false ego aside and start receiving it in abundance.
Daily Contemplation Series #7
"Daily Contemplation Series #7" We either seek pleasure (craving) or try to avoid pain (aversion), thereby live in a miserable world of duality.

Propaganda as History
The state of Illinois just passed the largest tax increase in its history and is still bankrupt. Murderers run rampant in Chicago. The middle class is fleeing the state in droves. Businesses, too.
You would think a state with all these serious problems wouldn't have time for anything as idiotic as passing a law mandating schools teach "LGBTQDQ History." You would be wrong.
I find myself wondering, the LGBTQDQ History curricula mandated in California, Illinois, and other places… does it teach kids the truth? Or does it teach a politically correct mythology?
Are they taught that the Stonewall Riot erupted when police involved in a legitimate law enforcement exercise (closing down a mafia-run bar that was selling liquor without a license) were attacked by a mob? Or are they taught the version that the evil police were harassing gay people and gay people pushed back?
Are they taught that Harvey Milk was a sleazy pederast who preyed on teenage runaways and was a vocal supporter of the Revered Jim "Kool-Aid Cult" Jones? Or are they taught that he was a courage gay political pioneered murdered by a bigot?
Are they taught that AIDS was spread by promiscuous irresponsible sex? Or are they taught that AIDS was caused by President Reagan not saying the word 'AIDS?'
Does it teach the truth that Matthew Shepard was a drug user who got murdered by his dealer for reasons only tangentially related to his sexuality? Or are they taught that he was a victim of hate and bigotry from intolerant conservatives?
Are they learning history or propaganda, is the question. We know they won't be learning math, science, and literacy, that's for true.

Any HIV/AIDS organisation worth their weight in salt will teach that abstinence is the only 100% effective method to avoid STDs, with proper prophylactic contraception use, limiting sexual partners, curbing risky sexual behaviours, and using PrEP as additional highly effective (but not fool-proof) methods to reduce the likelihood of contracting STDs.

We have it so good with our leftists do-gooders in this country, I'm surprised there aren't more of us going on our knees and bowing down to them with flows of tears of gratitude —
under other latitudes, easy to make daily-to-yearly extrapolations have it there will be near two millions Venezuelans fleeing to Brazil and Colombia this year,
don't the disingenuous-you (or I) dare make the heartless correlation with that innovative new requirement for their doctors to stop reporting the numbers of children dying of starvation or of insufficient care in their government-run hospitals.
Looks like it ain't real socialism over there, though — as they haven't managed to kill enough people quite yet.

An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are shown a pasture with a herd of sheep. They are told to put the sheep inside an area delimited by the smallest possible amount of fence.
The engineer is first. He herds the sheep into a circle and then puts the fence around them, declaring, "a circle is the curve which will use the least fence for a given area, so this is the best solution."
The physicist is next. She creates a circular fence of infinite radius around the sheep, and then draws the fence tight around the herd, declaring, "this ends up using the smallest circular fence around the herd, so this is the best solution."
The mathematician is last. After giving the problem a little thought, he makes a small fence around himself and declares, "I define myself to be on the outside of the fence."

The second version is actually true, but what we'll get is the "gays did nothing, trannies did everything" version.

Actually, that's on topic. A circular fence solves the wrong problem.* Which is what V t K said when he wrote: "Are they learning history or propaganda, is the question. We know they won't be learning math, science, and literacy, that's for true."

It really is a long way from the AIDS "epidemic" to wedding cakes, isn't it.
Progressivism is singularly duplicitous. Progressives love them some controversy piety music to set them off marching heroically. The Progressive puppet masters play them for the useful idiots which they are.
Currently, the Progressives are treating Smarmy Spaniel like the Venus de Philo. This walking, talking cow sized vagina has a birth canal that has been used as an interstate and digitally preserved for-horny-ever. Yet, she is the embodiment of pussy hat Progressivism because … Trump. Progressives look upon her as the most useful idiot at hand.
Many gays have lost their useful idiot utility because they have become wise to the games Progressives play. They are joining the great mass of gays who have always valued principle over practiced chutzpah.
The more the state burdens the politically correct curriculum with passion instead of principle, the more it resembles the religion that it has become. Eventually, the state has to force feed its tripe. The curriculum masters do not want to preserve the status quo, they want to overthrow it. That makes the state the master and the people dependent. The state knows that the little people come worship the state out of dread and because obedience is rewarded.
The "liberal arts" on a vast majority of college campuses have already given into censorship and punishment. Deceivers will always have a ready supply of those eager to be deceived. That is why there are so many "victims" popping up in the world of the Progressives. The victim pimps are everywhere.
Progressives have built their religion on a foundation of quicksand. Since everything is relative to the situation and the moment, everything is in the constant flux of change and nothing is predictable. Thus, the ruling power is the power of fear. Progressives are always kissing each other's butts out of an innate fear that their own butts will be kicked if they don't. It is a pure herd mentality.
So, propaganda as history, as curriculum, as news is how the Progressives move the herd of useful idiots.
Those of us who don't play the Progressive game look at Rachel Madcow, Mike Barnacle, Don the Lemon and The View wonder who believes their drivel. That is because we are not Progressive useful idiots coming to the trough for another swig of Progressive piety punch.
Does anyone know a good-time, happy Progressive at ease with the non-Progressive world? Every Progressive I know is hair-triggered to control the narrative and is thin-skinned about anything that approaches challenging the narrative. But don't kid yourself about their "kindness." They are power hungry madmen and you are their enemy.

@9 – Indeed, but that is an message needing to get past the usual herd pushing the college mythology (and parents who don't think for themselves).
@10 – Wise words indeed.
It will be so good when this writer can walk himself out of the state of Illinois. When you spend time around much of the folk of this state – you understand how bad a bad education can be. And not just in failing to understand the difference of red and black of a account record.

Any High School that claims 98% of their graduates are going to college is:
a. Lying.
B. Not doing their job correctly.
c. Both of the above*

Progressives are like the souls of the morally irresolute in Dante's Inferno: they are constantly chasing after a goal they can never reach. Nothing will ever be simply enough for them. I doubt all of them see their movement for what it is: a means of controlling others. But I have encountered others who have frankly, and proudly, said, "People can't be allowed to make their own decisions, they aren't smart enough." And when I ask them, "And I guess you should be making the decisions for them," they blink at me like I've just realized the sky is blue and say, "Well, obviously."
Socialism is envy. Fascism is wrath. Progressivism is pride. You need only look at those who extoll them to know the truth.

From my fresh immigrant vantage point, though, this country truly is a Standing Giant of Paradoxe who nevertheless has an uncanny way to regenerate his resilience throughout the People — mind you, Chicago is also that peculiar place where individuals like Milo's friend Rachel Fulton Brown do not seem to be willing to surrender to their surreal environment's dementia:

"La bêtise humaine consiste à avoir beaucoup d'idées, mais des idées bêtes. Et on reconnaît l'homme libre à ce qu'il est attaqué simultanément ou successivement par les partis opposés.
Il y a les hommes qui se respectent, et ceux qui ne se respectent pas. Ces derniers sont les éternels vainqueurs."
Henry de Montherlant (1895-1972), Carnets
"Foolishness consists in having many ideas which are preposterous. And one can recognize the free man as he is attacked simultaneously or successively by opposite parties.
There are men with self-respect, and men without it. The latter are the eternal winners."

Are they taught that Harvey Milk was a sleazy pederast who preyed on teenage runaways and was a vocal supporter of the Revered Jim "Kool-Aid Cult" Jones? Or are they taught that he was a courage gay political pioneered {sic} murdered by a bigot?
Can't they be taught both?
[Yes, I know what the practical, everyday answer to that question is.]

I notice that the two big states mandating LBGTQ curriculum are both suffering massive financial problems made worse by massive taxes. Perhaps they are using the LBGTQ community as a smokescreen to distract from their financial mess.

Why is Kofuku so well off?
Who is giving jobs to the god of poverty? Who is worshiping the god of poverty?
there was a whole episode about a guy who gave her everything cause she is fucken cute. How do you have no memory whatsoever?
Why does the god of poverty exist in the first place? Why would you bring that into the world?
So she tricks people?
How bout the job they gave Yato in the last episode? What kind of guy gave a job to the god of poverty?
She has a different name for business, so no one knows they're praying to binbougami.
this is noaw a naruto menma thread
this is naw a naruto menma thread
this is now a ranuto menma thread
But isn't her job just to spread poverty or something?
Like a war god's job is to kill and an education god's job is to educate?
Fuck off and type normally you tool.
this is now a naruto menma thread.
There is a god for every single thing. Every.
But they're born from wishes, what kind of twisted person would wish for poverty on others?
I like Kofuku in the manga.
Also, her best moment wasn't portraited yet
I don't know if this is how it works in Japan, but with some other religions with similar deities, you might give offerings to the god of misfortune to either keep the god from messing with you, or to wish ill on someone else.
The Wikipedia article suggests that the bingougami acts as a force of balance. Proper worship of this deity can possibly prevent poverty from ever befalling you again
What kind of dumb question is that?
The Greeks pantheon had two gods devoted to warfare. You want a whole list of gods in recorded history whose jobs were to cause suffering to others?
Balance. If everyone was rich it'd be boring. This coming from a poorfag.

#313: Vapiano
I love this place. It is one of my top 10 favorite places to eat in DC.
My dad and my sister like it too and when they come to visit we go there. About a year and a half ago my dad sent me a picture at like 7am on a Sunday of him, his wife and my brother eating at Vapiano. This freaked me out because the only Vapiano I know is in DC and my dad lives in the Middle East. It turned out that my dad had not secretly flown to DC to eat at Vapiano, instead Vapiano had opened a location in Doha, where they live. My dad had been really excited to try it out and then hated it because it was quiet and empty. What he loves most about Vapiano here is that it is always bustling with people. I love it too.
(The Vapiano in Doha has since closed.)

My husband absolutely loves his ring! Superb quality and craftsmanship!
Sarah Garrard on Apr 26, 20195 out of 5 stars
Oh my days what can I say what a beautiful ring! Danial really is a true master of his craft, very helpful with queries prior to ordering. My boyfriend was thrilled with his promise ring. I can't stop looking at it, the detail is stunning! Highly recommend!

Classy wooden rings handmade in the UK
I am a wood worker based on the south cost of England, where I create a range of beautiful bent wood rings, organic jewellery and custom wooden items for clients all over the world!
Selling on Etsy has given me the opportunity to work full time on my craft and I am adding new products all the time as my skill set (and workshop!) grows.
For a peak behind the scenes and to see my latest projects come and find me on my many social media accounts and check out what my customers are saying in my shop reviews!
"..My best Etsy experience to date! He made me a custom wedding band that is amazing. With my birth metal (steel guitar string) and my wife's birth metal (silver wire) as inlays. His communication was perfect. He is patient, talented and flexible..."
"Danial did an amazing job with this ring! It is beautiful, arrived in good time, and he was very communicative throughout the process. I would definitely order from this shop again."
Shop members
Danial Rees
Owner, Maker, Designer, Curator
After graduating from a Batchelors degree in Animation, I travelled the world to discover a passion in woodworking! Specialising in bent wood jewellery, I create custom items of for people all over the world!
Production partners
a printing service
United States
My partner based in the USA is a reputable and friendly printing company who help me to produce t-shirts, posters and other printed items. They stand for great quality and customer service just like my brand and that is why I chose them!
Shop policies
Please come and browse the sections of the shop to find bent wood rings, earrings, bangles and various other quality wooden items.
If you have a custom order request please feel free to get in touch!
Accepted payment methods
Returns and exchanges
I gladly accept returns and exchanges
I don't accept cancellations
The following items can't be returned or exchanged
- Custom or personalized orders
- Perishable products (like food or flowers)
- Digital downloads
- Intimate items (for health/hygiene reasons)
Returns and exchange details
- Sizing -
I understand that sizing rings can be tricky and sometimes the wrong size is ordered by mistake. To ensure accuracy it is advisable to visit more than one jeweller at different times of the day, this will help you determine the right size and avoid having to exchange or resize your ring.
Provided the ring is unworn & undamaged you can return/exchange once for free, all I ask is that shipping charges are covered.
Bent wood rings can generally be adjusted by 1/4 of a US size (approx 1/2 UK size) but if it needs to be made any bigger or smaller then a new ring will be formed from scratch. Resized rings are subject to my usual build time of 2 weeks + delivery times.
If you order the wrong size simply send me a message within 30 days of receiving the ring/s and we can arrange your resizing.
- Refunds and Returns -
No corners are cut during the process of creating your custom order and I ensure the highest standards of craftsmanship are adhered to. If you are in any way unsatisfied with your item you may notify me within 14 days of receiving it in the post and arrange a refund.
A full refund for the price of the item will be given minus a 30% restocking fee and any shipping charges I have incurred. Please note that all shipping charges for returns are the responsibility of the customer when items are returned.
Returned items must be unworn and undamaged.
- Guarantees -
Every ring or item in my shop comes with the following guarantees.
Sizing guarantee: Each ring is measured on a mandrel and with a digital caliper to ensure I make the correct size as requested. If I make a mistake with sizing I will replace the ring for free and cover any shipping costs. To date this has never happened so please be sure to follow my advice on sizing to avoid extra shipping charges.
Lost or Damaged Items: If your item is lost or damaged in transit I will make another to specification and send it for free.
100% Satisfaction: If you are in any way unsatisfied with your item you may notify me within 14 days of receiving it in the post and arrange a refund or I can make another to specification and send it for free.
Discounted Replacements: With the correct care a bent wood ring will last years (if not a lifetime) however wood is a natural material and needs to be treated with care. If over time the ring becomes damaged you can order replacements at a discount of 50% off the current retail value + postage or contact me with details to arrange refinishing if required (prices will vary and shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer).
Just feel free to get in touch with any questions and we can arrange as necessary!
Each ring will take 1-3 weeks (depending on availability) from receiving payment to complete and will be sent within 3 working days of completion.
I ensure that all items are dispatched quickly and packaged well. Delivery within the UK is sent first class recorded and usually takes 1-3 working days to arrive.
- Overseas -
Overseas delivery normally takes 5-10 working days but can be up to 5 weeks depending on the country. Postal times are subject to many variables such as weather conditions, customs at the airport and demands on the postal companies so I advise allowing at least 8 weeks for your order to arrive to avoid disappointment!
Any customs or import charges are the responsibility of the buyer.
- Rush Orders and Shipping Upgrades -
If you have a specific deadline and need your ring faster then there are options for a Rush Order Upgrade to halve production time and International Shipping Upgrades. More information on these options can be found in the links below:
Rush Order Upgrade:
International Shipping Upgrade:
For enquiries about postal times and upgrades to priority shipping please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Additional policies and FAQs
The lengthy and intricate bent wood process and CA finishing techniques I use provide excellent protection for my rings however wood is a natural material and needs to be treated with care.
I advise keeping the ring away from water as much as possible - especially if using soaps/detergents as they might wear the finish down. The finish is waterproof so a little splash here and there won't hurt, but I advise removing the ring before submerging hands in water for prolonged periods like washing dishes, swimming or showering etc.
It is also a good idea to remove the ring before undertaking rigorous activities like sports, weightlifting or boxing etc. The ring was made to be strong but wood and antler need to be treated with a bit more care than metal rings.
After applying a CA finish the rings are buffed with a clear wax called Renaissance Wax to add an extra layer of protection from the elements. You can also buff the ring with a clear wax every couple of months - carnauba or beeswax from a local diy store work great (and can be used for many other purposes around the home too).
If the ring gets dirty just give it a wipe with a kitchen towel and water - avoid using soaps, chemicals or abrasives. Also avoid nail varnish remover/acetone.
The ring should hold up well for years with a little care and you can order replacements for 50% off retail + postage so it's inexpensive for you to replace if it gets damaged or lost.

Does your shoe company use a fluoroscopic shoe-fitting machine? Are you in the business of selling artificially-colored ducklings or rabbits? Believe it or not, you may be committing a crime under Wisconsin law.
Didn't know you were committing a crime? In the words of Aristotle, "nemo censetur ignorare legem," nobody is thought to be ignorant of the law.
Granted, these examples may be extreme, but what about common business disputes, such as those involving intellectual property? What if you and your business are accused of misappropriating a trade secret? Infringing on a copyright? Or using a counterfeit mark?
Crossing the line into risky business practices may not only spur civil litigation but could also result in costly criminal investigations, or worse yet, criminal charges and penalties. This is particularly true of our intellectual property laws.
Most people associate "white-collar" crime with, for example, embezzlement or perjury. But did you know that trade secret theft is a felony under both state and federal law?
In addition to creating potential civil liability, individuals engaged in theft of trade secrets can be punished under 18 USC §1832 by up to 10 years in federal prison and assessed large fines. Businesses can be fined up to $5 million. Wisconsin law also provides for imprisonment and fines for these violations.
Likewise, the willful infringement of a copyright for financial gain constitutes a federal crime under 17 USC §506. Punishment can include up to a decade in prison.
Violations of trademark law can result in federal indictment under 18 USC §2320 which prohibits trafficking in counterfeit goods and services.
Certain violations could result in up to two decades in prison and huge fines. Businesses can be fined up to $30 million. Wisconsin law also allows for imprisonment and fines for such violations.
In Wisconsin, electronic software and data is protected under §943.70. Commonly referred to as the Wisconsin Computer Crimes Act, the law protects against the destruction or modification of computer data and programs, and also forbids unauthorized access or copying. Felony charges can result, depending upon the violation.
These examples demonstrate the severe consequences that can follow from crossing the line in an effort to gain a competitive edge.
Even if you and your business are ultimately cleared of criminal wrongdoing, the costs and bad publicity associated with any criminal probe can be devastating.
And so, as our "flat-world" economy requires everyone to up their game like never before, we must be mindful not only of potential civil liability for risky business practices, but also of the potential costs and consequences of a criminal investigation.
FOS can help you and your business navigate the choppy waters you may face in your never-ending quest for better and bolder innovation and ideas.

Exhibit in Progress: Air Tubes
We have been busy designing and building a new Air Tube Exhibit to replace the Scarf Thowers and Ball Mazes!
Improvements include new entry points and switches.
Switches are the pieces that direct airflow and control the direction and velocity of the scarves traveling through the tubes. The redesigned Air Tubes will not only provide the children with countless hours of excitement watching the scarves and balls travel through the tubing, but they will also give them control to direct the path of the scarves and balls.
We have also been developing a new entry point for the Air Tubes that are easy for our youngest friends to use. The red box in the photo below is a prototype to help us figure out how to optimize the final product.
Finally, we have been researching and testing a wide variety of flexible plastic tubing looking for the most durable yet transparent tubing.
Our new Air Tubes will be bigger and better than the original Ball Maze and Scarf Throwers so both our preschool and school-age visitors can continue to learn more about the properties of air flow through experimentation and play!
Please help us rebuild one of our most beloved exhibits by contributing to our GoFundMe Campaign today!

A lean, awkward boy came one morning to the door of the principal of a
celebrated school, and asked to see him.
The servant eyed his mean clothes, and thinking he looked more like a
beggar than anything else, told him to go around to the kitchen.
The boy did as he was bidden, and soon appeared at the back door.
"I should like to see Mr. Brown," said he.
"You want a breakfast, more like," said the servant girl, "and I can
give you that without troubling him."
"Thank you," said the boy; "I should have no objection to a bit of
bread; but I should like to see Mr. Brown, if he can see me."
"Some old clothes, may be, you want," remarked the servant, again eyeing
the boy's patched trousers. "I guess he has none to spare; he gives away
a sight;" and without minding the boy's request, she set out some food
upon the kitchen table and went about her work.
"Can I see Mr. Brown?" again asked the boy, after finishing his meal.
"Well, he's in the library; if he must be disturbed, he must; but he
does like to be alone sometimes," said the girl, in a peevish tone. She
seemed to think it very foolish to admit such an ill-looking fellow into
her master's presence. However, she wiped her hands, and bade him
follow. Opening the library door, she said:—
"Here's somebody, sir, who is dreadfully anxious to see you, and so I
let him in."
I don't know how the boy introduced himself, or how he opened his
business, but I know that after talking awhile, the principal put aside
the volume he was studying, took up some Greek books, and began to
examine the new-comer. The examination lasted some time. Every question
which the principal asked, the boy answered as readily as could be.
"Upon my word," exclaimed the principal, "you certainly do well!"
looking at the boy from head to foot, over his spectacles. "Why, my boy,
where did you pick up so much?"
"In my spare moments," answered the boy.
Here he was, poor, hard-working, with but few opportunities for
schooling, yet almost fitted for college, by simply improving his spare
moments. Truly, are not spare moments the "gold dust of time?" How
precious they should be! What account can you give of your spare
moments? What can you show for them? Look and see.
This boy can tell you how very much can be laid up by improving them;
and there are many other boys, I am afraid, in the jail, in the house
of correction, in the forecastle of a whale ship, in the gambling house,
or in the tippling shop, who, if you should ask them when they began
their sinful courses, might answer:—
"In my spare moments."
"In my spare moments I gambled for marbles."
"In my spare moments I began to smoke and drink."
"It was in my spare moments that I began to steal chestnuts from the old
woman's stand."
"It was in my spare moments that I gathered with wicked associates."
Oh, be very, very careful how you spend your spare moments! Temptation
always hunts you out in small seasons like these when you are not busy;
he gets into your hearts, if he possibly can, in just such gaps. There
he hides himself, planning all sorts of mischief. Take care of your
spare moments. "Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do."

Four Important Reasons to Buy Life Insurance
22 July 2014
Life insurance has come a long way since the days when it was called "burial insurance." Today, a life insurance policy is a crucial part of many financial and estate plans. By carefully setting up your life insurance policy with the help of a financial and/or estate planning professional, you can maximize the value of that policy and potentially reduce your tax liability. But if you don't set up the policy correctly, you may inadvertently increase the size of your estate and subject it to estate taxes.
How does life insurance fit into a good financial or estate plan? Here are four popular reasons for investing in a life insurance policy.
1. Income Replacement
Life insurance isn't just about the money: It gives you peace of mind that your family and loved ones will have the resources to maintain the lifestyle you want for them. Take the example of a 40-year-old engineer who makes $150,000 a year and has a wife and three children. For a relatively small amount, he can purchase life insurance sufficient to ensure that his family will be able to replace his income.
2. Retirement Account Protection
A well-structured life insurance plan may also protect your beneficiaries from having to withdraw money from your qualified retirement accounts and pay tax on the withdrawals—which could be as much as 40–50%! One strategy to protect these assets is to create an irrevocable life insurance trust (ILIT). If properly structured, this type of trust can be used to keep the proceeds of the life insurance policy out of the insured's taxable estate. The trust itself is the owner of the policy and the beneficiary of the proceeds, which then can be distributed to the beneficiaries of the trust, protecting them from the need to withdraw funds from the retirement assets—and from incurring any tax liabilities on those withdrawals.
For example say you have a 65-year-old man with $5 million in a qualified retirement account. If he creates a properly structured ILIT, his widow could receive the proceeds of the life insurance policy, distributed from the ILIT, free of estate and income taxes. Meanwhile, their children can be made the beneficiaries of the qualified retirement account, which, if they invest wisely, could grow significantly by the time they reach retirement age.
3. Protection Against Estate Taxes
Another use for life insurance is to provide liquidity to offset potential estate tax liabilities. If you have a very large estate, you may use required minimum distributions (RMDs) from your qualified retirement accounts to buy life insurance that your heirs can then use to pay any estate tax liability. This eliminates the need to liquidate property or other investments, potentially at a less than optimal value.
4. Buy-Sell Agreements in Closely Held Businesses
A buy-sell agreement among the owners of a closely held business can spell out what happens if one of the owners dies or leaves the business unexpectedly. Such an agreement can describe a plan to maintain business continuity and operations when unforeseen events occur.
Life insurance policies are often used to fund the purchase of the deceased owner's interest. The business can buy life insurance policies for each owner and name itself as the beneficiary (this is called an entity redemption arrangement), or each owner can own an insurance policy on the other owners, and use the proceeds to buy the deceased owner's interest (this is known as a cross-purchase arrangement).1
Finally, Be Sure to Designate the Proper Beneficiary!
However you decide to use your life insurance policy, be sure that you designate a primary beneficiary (or beneficiaries) as well as a contingent beneficiary (or beneficiaries). This is critical. The proceeds of your life insurance policy are not determined by your will: they are determined by your beneficiary designations. Just as importantly, review your beneficiary designations with your financial and/or estate planning professional at least annually. Life circumstances tend to change, and you may not want to accidentally leave your carefully arranged life insurance proceeds to an unintended recipient, such as an ex-spouse.

Consummate jazz musicians play what they hear. A performance, recording may be so unique that it becomes ensconced in our music psyche forever i.e., Coleman Hawkin's "Body and Soul," James Moody's "Moody Mood for Love." This site is dedicated to their mastery of the moment,
And we, the listeners, are so richly endowed.
a legend in his own mind, identifies with the creative - musician.
He listens. He hears what they play especially an original
jazz compositions. The early years of bebop was a time of assimilation
and posturing; mainly to thwart the competition.
The in-crowd of selected musicians would hide
the melodic line deeply within the composition.
These "creative geniuses," described by Dizzy, raised the practice to an art form. "Dizzy in South America 1962" [Introduction | Selection.] Barry Harris's "How High the Moon" version; Bird Parker, the voice of the music sprayed notes in every direction over originals, standards, evergreens spreading the sound.
Then the sound of the music changed, never to be the same. Eventually, everyone had to get with the program. Clark Terry described how Lawrence Welk played " The Train." On Monk The onliest, Percy heath added that he played what he heard -- "The Merry Go Round, broke down, broke down. Then there was Trane, and even 'Hey babba rebop, Boplicity, Euphoria . . . .
But the Sound of Music is our gift from a loving God. We are encouraged to make a joyful noise. The best things in life are free.Rompin', stompin in' and groovin' hi.

Capital markets have bifurcated with the US 10-year treasury yield trading at post-US election lows, while US equities have remained at record highs. Typically, when bond yields fall, the market has begun pricing in slower economic growth and a lower probability (or slower pace) of US Federal Reserve rate increases. At some point, the bifurcation will end and stock prices will correct lower in our view.
The S&P 500 is currently trading at 17.7x the forward 12-month earnings estimate. This price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is above the 5-year average of 15.3x and the 10-year average of 14.0x according to FactSet. The chart below demonstrates that the change in corporate earnings estimates for the next 12-months (solid navy blue line) have not kept up with the change in the S&P 500 (dashed blue line), which corresponds to the rise in P/E multiple as price is rising faster than earnings.
The rising P/E multiples further underscores our view that valuations (and stocks) need to fall to support putting more cash to work in our equity portfolios. The cash levels in our equity portfolios remain relatively high with the Affinity portfolio at 56% cash and the Optima10 at 14.5% cash. While the higher cash positions have us lagging our benchmark thus far in 2017, we believe that being patient with our dry powder will protect capital and allow us to take advantage of more attractive valuations over the next few months.
The equity portfolios were negatively impacted by poor earnings from Michael Kors (KORS) and Chicago Bridge & Iron (CBI) in May. We continue to maintain our positions in both companies as their free-cash-flow yields remain over 10% and the worst of the negative earnings revisions is now likely behind us. These companies were not alone with poor earnings and guidance, as 75 S&P 500 companies have issue negative earnings per share (EPS) guidance for Q2/2017 versus just 37 companies that have issued positive EPS guidance according to FactSet.
An overview of the performance of our actively-managed products is as follows:
- The AFINA Optima10 was down 5.4% in May, and was up +23.9% in 2016 compared to the benchmark return of 14.8%.
- The AFINA Affinity was down 2.6% in May, and was up +20.6% in 2016 compared to the benchmark return of 14.8%.
As of May 31, 2017. All figures are net of fees and other expenses. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Refer to https://www.afinacapital.com/legal/ for full details and disclosures.

Click the 1, 2, etc., boxes below each set to view all 10.
Main Street (looking west): The tall, dark building near the right, with American flag, was the old Town Hall building. The short building to the right of that was the original First National Bank of Islip (see page 2). To the left of old Town Hall is the corner of Main Street and Locust Avenue. On the northwest corner is the building that today houses the Treme blues & jazz club.
The photo was likely taken sometime in the 1930s, judging by the look of the cars.

(Part 1)
The scenery around Blue Moon City was beautiful and the atmosphere was also pleasant. Traveling merchants and tourists were shuttling back and forth if not on sandy beaches then in the tropical forest of the suburbs. There were people everywhere.
Now, Long Yi was strolling on the beach along with a group of large beauties. The group attracted gazes of admiration and infatuation. Originally, he planned to set out to Dragon Island immediately after he brought back Liuli. However, he never expected that such a large group of beauties would follow him to Blue Moon City.
A beach was truly a good place to leisurely spend the holidays. Unfortunately, the women in the Blue Waves Continent were still very conservative. It was impossible for them to walk around while wearing a bikini. Occasionally, there were some beautiful Madams and Misses who took off their shoes, revealing their snowy white feet and as they splashed about in the water. This was a beautiful scene which played out on the beach.
I came to Blue Moon City once when I was young After so many years, this city didnt change much, it still brings me comfort. Dongfang Wan said with a smile. When she was fifteen or sixteen years old, she would run about everywhere. In those years, she was a well-known beauty throughout the Blue Waves Continent.
Mother, you can stay here for a period of time if you like. In any case, there is a transfer magic array now. It will be very easy for you to return if you miss the old man. Long Yi smiled and he hugged Dongfang Wan.
That is also true. Since I had to look after your father and son duo, I wasnt able to travel anywhere for twenty years. Now that I have so many daughters-in-law to accompany me, I can go around Blue Waves Continent to sightsee! Dongfang Wan was quite happy. Now, the Ximen Clan had finally reached the peak of power and they no longer had to fear anyone. In addition, her son was capable and she had so many beautiful daughters-in-law to accompany her. Who in the world wouldnt be satisfied with such a life? The only regret she had was that she had to carry her first grandchild.
Long Yi looked at his mother with a smile and a hint of warmth overflowed in his heart. It seemed as though his decision in his past was the right one. He was unable to give up this family affection and nothing could extinguish this feeling. Moreover, Long Yi vowed to forever guard this feeling in his heart.
Everyone chatted and laughed as they strolled on the beach. Among them, Dongfang Wan was worthy of being the senior. She was Long Yis mother and she was extremely close with her daughters-in-law. As such, Long Yi was pushed to the side as the women talked among each other. However, the person who had the most brilliant smile on his face was Long Yi. His smile was so warm and beautiful that it seemed somewhat unreal.
Just as Long Yi was looking at the beautiful buttocks of the beauties in front of him with a self-satisfied expression on his face, he suddenly felt that the scenery in front of him was familiar. All of a sudden, all the beauties stopped.
This residence is very beautiful It has a mountain and river located in it. It seems like the owner of this residence really knows how to enjoy himself. Seeing an unusually refined residence at the seacoast, Dongfang Wan praised. This residence might not be the most luxurious residence in Blue Moon City. However, it was very likely that it was the most comfortable and most refined residence.
This is the residence of our Nalan Empires first class duke. A hundred years ago, my emperor father bestowed it to him. If mother wishes, I think that the duke will be very willing to let us take a look inside. Nalan Ruyue who was wearing a sea-blue robe responded. As she spoke, she shot a glance at Long Yi who was looking at Feng Ling strangely.
Long Yi touched his nose and coughed twice and everyone turned around to look at him with a doubtful expression.
Yuer, do you object? Dongfang Wan asked with a smile. In her heart, she truly wanted to go and take a look at this residence. The architecture in the Nalane Empire was rarely seen in the Violent Dragon Empire.
No, I have no objection. I think His Excellency the Duke will be very willing to have us as his guests. Long Yi shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile. He could see the entrance gate of this residence was already open wide and the duke was already waiting to welcome them. He wore a bright noble robe as numerous servants stood behind him. Long Yi had some impression about this duke, He was a gentleman with a scholarly and refined aura.
The duke hastily walked over and falling down to one knee, he respectfully said, First Class Duke Qi Ziya pays respect to Your Highness the Empress and Lord son-in-law.
No need to be too polite. Let me introduce them. She is my mother-in-law, and she is also the Empress of the Violent Dragon Empire. They are my sisters. Nalan Ruyue stepped forward and indifferently said. When facing outsiders, the air around her instantly changed. She was graceful and there was a faint pressure coming from her. Seeing this, Dongfang Wan nodded her head inwardly.
The duke hastily greeted. Perhaps, ordinary common people might not know. However, he clearly knew that the Nalan Empire was not an independent empire. It was only a matter of time before the Nalan Empire merged with the Violent Dragon Empire. The unification of the entire continent would happen eventually. Thus, he paid respect to Dongfang Wan with the highest etiquette and diligently invited everyone into the residence.
Immediately after entering the residence, everyone saw a narrow path which sheltered by dense greenery. This place was quiet and beautiful with all kinds of flowers and plants vying with each other for attention. Along with the sea breeze, faint fragrance of flowers drifted in the air. Anyone would want to stay in this place forever.
This Dukes residence is really extraordinary. Its the most beautiful residence I have ever seen. Dongfang Wan praised.
If empress likes it, then Ziya can willingly hand it over. The Duke said with a smile. There was not even a hint of reluctance In his mind, he even hoped for Dongfang Wan to accept his gift. Perhaps, relying on this, his Qi Clan would be able to climb onto a higher branch. Maybe, he would be able to experience infinite glory in the future. This small residence was nothing compared to that.
I dont wish to do that, Your Excellency the Duke, there are so many beautiful things in this world. How can someone take everything for themselves? Its already a blessing for me to appreciate your magnificent residence. Dongfang Wan said with a smile.
Only allowed on Creativenovels.com
A hint of admiration flashed through the eyes of Qi Ziya. This empress was truly worthy of being a woman of the Dongfang Clan. Her magnanimity, bearing, and speech were all extraordinary.
Father. At that time, a clear and melodious voice came from not far away. A beautiful figure appeared at the corner of the path in front of everybody.
A smile appeared on Long Yis face and he looked at Feng Lings stunned face. Shui Ruoyan, Linna, Long Linger, and Ximen Wuhen also had a strange expression on their face.
Yinyin, quickly come over here and pay respects to Her Majesty the Empress and our honorable guests. Duke Qi Ziya said. When Yinyin arrived, he introduced, This is my daughter Yinyin. She is now in charge of the matters in the clan.
Yinyin was startled and her gaze swept through the familiar faces of Long Yi, Feng Ling, and the others. She respectfully greeted Nalan Ruyue and she stood at the side. Her gaze was lowered and she stared at her toes. No one knew what thoughts were running through her head.
As if she noticed the subtle feeling of several people, Dongfang Wan smiled and asked, Yuer, do you know each other?
Mother, Yinyin used to be a student of the Mea Holy Magic Academy. She is our schoolmate. Long Yi said with a smile.
Since that is the case, why dont the few of you go and catch up with each other? Duke, is that fine? Dongfang Wan asked with a smile.
How could the duke say no? In the end, Long Yi, Feng Ling, Ximen Wuhen, Long Linger, Shui Ruoyan, and Linna left the group.
Lingr, go and stroll around with Yinyin. Long Yi said.
Facing Yinyin again, Feng Ling was at a loss. In the past, she had disguised as a man and assumed a new identity, Ling Feng. That was the cause of such an ill-fated relationship.
Yinyin didnt oppose. However, she deeply looked at Long Yi before leaving with Feng Ling.
Second brother, why do I feel that Yinyin likes you? Ximen Wuhen hugged the arm of Long Yi and said with a smile.
Eh why do you think so? Long Yi asked.
Intuition, womans intuition. In addition, when she looked at you, there was a hidden bitterness. Student Long Yi, its time to confess. Did you do something to her? Shui Ruoyan answered for Ximen Wuhen and she whispered into Long Yis ear.
Teacher Shui Ruoyan, you cannot blame me without evidence. I will sue you for slander. Long Yi said. Even though he sounded serious, his big hand quietly reached out to her round and plump buttocks as he fiercely pinched.
Shui Ruoyan trembled and rolling her eyes at Long Yi, she said, Bad student. I can sue you for taking liberties with a respectable woman.
Now, a respectable man is taking liberties with his teacher. Since both of us are willing, it can only be an adulterous affair. Long Yi said with a cheeky smile on his face.
The funny dialogue between these two made Long Linger and others chuckle. In turn, Shui Ruoyan became extremely embarrassed. In any case, they were all her students.
Linger, Linna, Wuhen, this bad boy is taking liberties with your teacher. Tell me, what should I do>=? Shui Ruoyan pulled Long Yis ear and she asked the chuckling girls.
Of course, he should be punished. The girls answered in unison.
Punish? Then, you all can punish me by sleeping together with me until I die from excessive ejaculation Ah Someone is murdering their husband! Long Yi had just opened his mouth and the four women rushed up towards him. They rained punches on him after shoving him onto the ground.
Long Yi just smelled a burst of fragrance as the soft women surrounded him. As for their punches, they were completely ineffective on him and he felt that they were simply tickling him. Since these beauties had delivered themselves to his doorstep, he naturally wouldnt disappoint them. Even though he screamed as they punched him, he extended his devils claws and he touched the mountain peaks and explored the deep ravine.
Who wasnt intelligent among these four beauties? How could they not realize Long Yis evil intention? He was taking cheap advantages of them seizing this chance. However, if they didnt allow him to do this, who else would they turn to?
Only when their bodies felt limp and it became difficult to control themselves, they scolded in jest and retreated with a red face. Shui Ruoyan and Long Linger were still fine as they had already turned into Long Yis woman. They were already accustomed to his teasing actions. However, Linna and Ximen Wuhen were still virgins and they had an inexplicable and ambiguous relationship with Long Yi. When Long Yi teased them, they felt extremely embarrassed. However, there was a sweet feeling in their heart.
Long Yi stood up and patted off the grass on his body. He said with a smug smile, Beauties, dont you all notice that something is missing?
The four women looked at each other in blank dismay and practically at the same time, they felt their sensitive cherries rubbing against their clothes. All of them screamed and hugged their chest. They glared at Long Yi. Now, Long Yi had different colored bras in his hand and he pressed them against his nose. It seemed as though he became drunk in the fragrance of the few women. He sighed, Aromatic, truly aromatic
Thinking about it, he used the same technique in the Mea Holy Magic Academy to take away Linnas underwear. Today, he used this technique again on these four girls. It seemed as though Long Yi got better at using this technique.
Bad fellow, quickly give them back to us. Long Linger shouted with embarrassment. Although they were deep within the residence and there was no one else nearby, if other people saw them, they would die from shame!
If you want them, I will give them back after you catch me. Long Yi happily smiled and watched the four girls chasing after him with threatening gestures. Then, stuffing those bras in his chest, he ran away while laughing heartily.
