The report described efforts within the Executive Branch to promote the protection of intellectual property rights within and outside the United States, including the protection of trade secrets against cybercrime and cyber espionage. The report also discusses engagement with U.S. trading partners on intellectual property issues, legal authorities to protect against unfair trade practices, expanded law enforcement cooperation, and various intellectual property enforcement activities pursued by federal agencies.
FTC Launches Task Force to Monitor Competition in Technology Markets
On February 26, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") announced the creation of the Technology Task Force, which aims to monitor competition in U.S. technology markets, investigate any potential anticompetitive conduct, and take enforcement actions when warranted. The task force is intended to help enhance the agency's focus on competition in technology-related sectors of the economy, including markets in which online platforms compete.
Social Networking Provider Agrees to Record $5.7 Million COPPA Settlement
On February 27, the provider of a video social networking music application agreed to pay a record $5.7 million to settle FTC claims that the company illegally collected personal information from children. This is the largest civil penalty ever obtained by the Commission in a children's privacy case. The FTC's complaint alleged that the company violated the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), which requires that websites and online services directed to children obtain parental consent before collecting personal information from users under the age of 13. The operators allegedly knew children were using the app but nonetheless failed to seek parental consent before collecting names, email addresses, and other personal information from users under the age of 13.
FTC Releases 2018 Privacy and Data Security Update
On March 15, the FTC released its annual report highlighting the agency's work in privacy and data security in 2018. The FTC highlighted several of its 2018 enforcement actions against technology companies, including a settlement against a mobile payments company regarding the privacy settings in the company's mobile application, an expanded settlement with a ride-sharing company to resolve data security and privacy allegations, and an enforcement action against a supplier of children's products under COPPA.
SEC Announces Changes to Form N-PORT Submissions
On February 27, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced that the submission deadlines for registered investment companies filing nonpublic monthly reports on Form N-PORT will be extended. Reports must now be filed on a quarterly basis instead of monthly. This change is part of the SEC's effort to reduce the agency's cyber risk profile by adopting alternative reporting options that reduce the frequency and sensitivity of the data it collects.
SEC Names Gabriel Benincasa as Chief Risk Officer
On February 28, the SEC announced that Gabriel Benincasa has been named the Commission's first chief risk officer. This position was created "to strengthen the agency's risk management and cybersecurity efforts." As chief risk officer, Mr. Benincasa will coordinate the SEC's "efforts to identify, monitor, and mitigate key risks facing the Commission."
FTC Seeks Comment on Proposed Amendments to GLBA
On March 5, the FTC announced that it sought comments on proposed amendments to the FTC's Safeguards Rule and Privacy Rule under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLBA"). The proposal would add additional requirements for how financial institutions must protect customer information, such as requiring the encryption of customer data held or transmitted by the institution over external networks.
SEC Issues Privacy Risk Alert for Investment Advisers and Broker Dealers
On April 16, the SEC's Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations ("OCIE") issued a Risk Alert for investment advisers and broker-dealers. The Risk Alert identified the most frequent compliance issues related to customer privacy notices and safeguard policies for customer information under Regulation S-P, including the failure to provide initial, annual, and opt-out privacy notices and a lack of written privacy policies and procedures. The Risk Alert also discussed the lack of policies reasonably designed to safeguard customer information, including a lack of secure login credentials, written incident response plan, or employee training, among others.
DHS Expands Cyber-Training Program
On March 21, the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") Science and Technology Directorate awarded $5.9 million to Norwich University to expand the DECIDE cyber-training platform to the energy sector. The investment will allow organizations to identify vulnerabilities and develop mitigation strategies prior to a real-life crisis to ensure that organizations receive proper training to recognize and respond to potential cyber threats.
DOE Seeks to Reduce Cybersecurity Threats in Manufacturing
On March 26, the Department of Energy ("DOE") announced up to $70 million in funding for a Clean Energy Manufacturing Innovation Institute to focus on early-stage research for advancing cybersecurity in energy-efficient manufacturing.

The Institute also will address the education and training needed for cyber-secure automated sensors.
USDOT Launches Council to Support Emerging Transportation Technologies
On March 12, the U.S. Secretary of Transportation announced the creation of the Non-Traditional and Emerging Transportation Technology ("NETT") Council within the U.S. Department of Transportation ("USDOT"). The NETT Council is charged with identifying and resolving jurisdictional and regulatory gaps that may impede the deployment of new technologies, such as autonomous vehicles. By streamlining discussion and review of these technologies, the secretary stated that the government can address "legitimate public concerns about safety, security and privacy without hampering innovation."
Congressional Committees Investigate Cyber Threat to Transportation
On February 26, the Committee on Homeland Security held a joint hearing titled "Securing U.S. Surface Transportation from Cyber Attacks" with the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection, and Innovation and the Subcommittee on Transportation and Maritime Security. The hearing focused on securing U.S. surface transportation, such as railroads and highways, from digital threats.
Regulatory—Health Care/HIPAA
Health Records Company Settles False Claims Act
On February 6, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Vermont announced that a health records company would pay $57.25 million to resolve False Claims Act allegations. The complaint alleged that the company caused its users to submit false claims to the government by misrepresenting the capabilities of its electronic health records software. The government had argued that the software did not fully incorporate the standardized clinical terminology necessary to ensure the reciprocal flow of information concerning patients and the accuracy of electronic prescriptions.
HHS Proposes New Rules for Electronic Health Information
On February 11, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") proposed new rules to support seamless and secure access, exchange, and use of electronic health information. The rules seek to solve the issue of interoperability and patient access in the U.S. health care system while reducing administrative burdens on providers. The rules would allow patients to access their health information electronically through third-party software applications connected to their data.
Diagnostic Medical Imaging Company Settles PHI Breach
On May 6, HHS announced that a medical imaging services company agreed to pay $3 million to settle a breach that exposed the protected health information ("PHI") of more than 300,000 individuals. The HHS Office of Civil Rights ("OCR") determined that the company's servers had allowed uncontrolled access to its patient PHI, which permitted search engines to index and store patient data for offline viewing. OCR determined that the company did not thoroughly investigate the security incident until several months after notice of the breach and did not notify individuals in a timely manner.
Regulatory—Defense and National Security
DOD Releases Cloud Strategy
On February 4, the Department of Defense ("DOD") released its Cloud Strategy, reasserting DOD's commitment to the cloud from an enterprise perspective. The strategy focused implementation activities in two areas: (i) standing up cloud platforms that are "ready to receive data and applications"; and (ii) migrating existing applications and developing new applications in the cloud.
DOD Launches Technology-Focused Website
On April 24, DOD launched a new public website to inform members of the military industry and academia on DOD's research, development, engineering, and technological efforts. The website will highlight innovations related to artificial intelligence, big data analytics, autonomy, robotics, and advanced computing, among other topics.
Litigation, Judicial Rulings, and Agency Enforcement Actions
Court Gives Preliminary Approval to $50 Million Data Breach Settlement
On February 26, a federal court in Pennsylvania gave preliminary approval to a $50 million settlement related to a data breach at a restaurant chain that allegedly compromised customers' credit and debit information through malware. Plaintiffs alleged that the company failed to keep up with advancements in security measures, such as chips that would create unique codes for each customer transaction.
Home Security System Provider May Face Additional $8.4 Million in Attorneys' Fees for Alleged TCPA Violations
On March 18, attorneys for class plaintiffs requested $8.4 million dollars in attorneys' fees against a technology company that provides cloud-based home monitoring and remote control services after settling a Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") class action for $28 million dollars. The class accused the company of using "autodialers" and "recorded messages" to call millions of cellphones, residential lines, and people on the national "do not call registry." The settlement class included more than 1.2 million consumers.
GAO Calls for Federal Privacy Law
On February 13, the U.S. Government Accountability Office ("GAO") released a report calling for a federal privacy law based on interviews with former government officials, consumer advocates, academics, and industry professionals. The report calls for Congress to develop comprehensive internet data privacy legislation to enhance consumer protection. Specifically, GAO recommends: (i) enacting an overarching federal privacy statue; (ii) ensuring that the overseeing agency or agencies have notice-and-comment rulemaking authority; and (iii) providing authority to impose civil penalties for first-time violations.
Senators Introduce Bill Requiring Companies to Target Bias in Corporate Algorithms
On April 10, several U.S. senators introduced the Algorithmic Accountability Act, which would require companies to review artificial intelligence algorithms for bias or discrimination. The bill is aimed at companies that make more than $50 million per year, hold the data of at least one million people or devices, or primarily act as data brokers that buy and sell consumer data. The bill would also give the FTC authority to create regulations that require companies to conduct impact assessments of highly sensitive automated decision systems.
FTC Testifies Before Congress for Creation of National Privacy Law
On May 8, the FTC called for the enactment of a comprehensive federal data security law during testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Subcommittee. The testimony was delivered by the Director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection and backed by a 5–0 vote approving its inclusion in the formal record. The testimony also requested that Congress permit the agency to enforce civil penalties to deter unlawful conduct, grant it jurisdiction over nonprofits and common carriers, and give it the authority to issue implementing rules under the Administrative Procedure Act.
California Attorney General Plans to Publish CCPA Rulemaking Notices in Fall 2019
On February 8, the California Office of the Attorney General announced it anticipates publishing a Notice of Proposed Regulatory Action regarding the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") in fall 2019. The CCPA delays enforcement until six months after the attorney general implements regulations, or July 1, 2020, whichever comes first. The regulations will establish procedures for protecting consumers' rights and provide guidance to businesses on compliance, including on issues such as the categories of personal information, exceptions necessary to comply with state or federal law, and rules and procedures regarding consumer opt-outs and notices.
State Attorneys General Urge FTC to Update Identity Theft Rules
On February 14, attorneys general from 31 states submitted a letter to the FTC to update its identity theft rules. The FTC originally adopted identity theft rules in November 2007, prior to substantial technological developments and growth in identity theft. The letter suggested adding a requirement that cardholders are notified by phone or email if a phone or email address associated with their account is changed, as well as changing "suspicious account activity" to include account access by new devices and repeated unsuccessful access attempts.
California Attorney General and Senator Introduce Legislation to Clarify CCPA
On February 25, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra and Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson announced legislation to strengthen and clarify the CCPA. The bill, SB 561, would remove companies' rights to cure CCPA violations within 30 days before enforcement can occur and would add a private right of action for consumers. In addition, the bill would remove requirements that the attorney general provide businesses and third parties with individual legal counsel on CCPA compliance, instead specifying that the attorney general may publish general guidance on compliance.
Mississippi Attorney General Requires Education Company to Strengthen Post-Breach Security Measures
On March 8, the Mississippi attorney general announced an Assurance of Voluntary Compliance with an education testing service provider that requires the company to strengthen its cybersecurity measures. Following a data breach involving student information, the company will be subject to various requirements, including prompt notification of a breach, encryption of students' personal information, and the appointment of a supervisor who will be responsible for security updates and patch management. Most significantly, the assurance requires the company to implement a comprehensive information security program involving annual risk assessments, privacy and cybersecurity training for employees, and designation of a chief information security officer.
Utah Passes New Internet Privacy Law
On March 28, the governor of Utah signed into law H.B.0057, Utah's Electronic Information or Data Privacy Law. The law protects data stored with third parties, including email and cloud storage providers, from unlimited government access and requires law enforcement to obtain a warrant before accessing such data.
North Dakota Passes Law Authorizing Legislative Study on Consumer Personal Data
On March 28, the governor of North Dakota signed into law HB 1485, which requires a study of issues related to personal data for one year during the 2019–2020 legislative term. The study will examine protections for consumers related to the disclosure of personal data, as well as enforcement and remedies. The study also will examine privacy laws of other states and applicable federal law. The bill originally began as a proposal with provisions similar to the CCPA, but the legislature ultimately decided to conduct a study for one year before implementing data privacy legislation. The law takes effect on August 1.
States Propose CCPA-Type Bills
In 2019, several states introduced proposed legislation similar to the CCPA, which California passed in 2018. These proposed bills are still under consideration in several states. Recent developments include:
- On February 5, Mississippi House Bill 1253 died in committee.
- On March 8, the Maryland Senate Finance Committee held a hearing on Senate Bill 613.
- On April 1, North Dakota passed House Bill 1485; however, the bill's text was replaced with an act providing for a legislative study of consumer personal data disclosures.
- On April 2, Texas left House Bill 4518 pending in the House Business and Industry Committee.
- On April 17, Connecticut amended Senate Bill 1108; the bill now establishes a task force to study possible methods for protecting consumer privacy. On April 25, the Senate passed the amended bill, and it is now under consideration by the House.
- On April 28, Washington did not pass Senate Bill 5376 as the bill did not make its way through the legislative process.
- On April 30, the Rhode Island Senate Judiciary Committee recommended Senate Bill 234 be held for further study.
- On May 2, Texas placed its amended House Bill 4390 on its General State Calendar. The amended version of House Bill 4390 removed provisions requiring covered businesses to implement certain risk assessments and to inform individuals and the public about their data collection and processing practices.

I decided a few days ago that I would record every book I finished reading in 2018 and say something about each. As it turns out, this book, It's All Relative: Adventures Up and Down the World's Family Tree by A.J. Jacobs (Simon & Schuster, 2017), a Christmas gift from My Dear One, went faster than I anticipated, largely because I spent most of this past Thursday afternoon waiting to see various ear specialists at the Johns Hopkins Outpatient building in Baltimore. Doctors' offices, like airports and train stations, provide ample reading time. I finished It's All Relative on New Year's Eve.
This New Year's Resolution was inspired by the list I kept in the academic year 1969-1970. That was the year I attended Princess Helena College in Hertfordshire, England, as an Isabelle Carden Griffin Exchange Student of the English-Speaking Union. I don't know what possessed me to start recording the titles. I do remember that I read a number of books—like William Thackeray's Vanity Fair and Women in Love by D.H. Lawrence—because I thought I ought to. (I am glad I read Women in Love both because I enjoyed it and because several classmates and I went to the cinema later that year to see Ken Russell's film adaptation. That was when I fell in love with both Alan Bates and Oliver Reed. But I digress.) The list may well survive somewhere in some box. Pretty sure the final tally was around seventy-five books.
My Dear One chose this book because I am genealogist for both my father's and mother's families. As a hefty number of my ancestors made it to these shores by the middle of the 17th century, I end up discovering comparatively famous relatives even without the benefit of algorithms on Geni or WikiTree. Genealogy had been a passive kind of interest until I acquired Family Tree Maker software. I probably would have been better off with something less addictive, say a taste for crack cocaine.
Taking a break from the study of my own Anglo-Saxon lineage, I moved on to the few twigs and leaves that constituted my Dear One's family shrub. That clan is pure Lithuanian and poses an entirely different kind of challenge. There are ship manifests and missing ship manifests, multiple spellings of names and inexplicable spellings, not very useful family traditions and problems arising from illiteracy. Documents appeared in English, Latin (bless the excellent record-keeping of the Catholic Church), Lithuanian, German and Russian. We've had a run of good luck with his maternal line at the State Archives in Vilnius and with a distant cousin we met at dinner in Balbieriškis. Marytė had been debriefing her mother who, at age ninety-something, possessed both an incredible amount of information and a fully intact mind. A private researcher, Vilius Vasseikis, turned up an amazing record of his father's mother's family. That shrub has thrived. (For more information on our travels to Lithuania and our family there search "Lithuania" in this blog.)
So yes. They have all become My People.
Jacobs makes a business writing about his life as well as writing about the lives of politicians, actors and various celebrities. When an email lured him into the quicksand of genealogical research, he jumped in and sank up to his ears. He gets the idea of organizing a "Global Family Reunion," one that will be well attended enough to make the Guinness Book of World Records. In initiating this project he explores his immediate family, his more remote Neanderthal cousins, the nature of families, the privacy of the dead and a host of issues that arise when one blunders into the sticky web of ancestry.
Brief notes at the end of most chapters provide a sort of count-down to the event and a record of his declining emotional and cognitive well-being.
Jacobs' key point, however, is that genealogy (like pretty much all human activity) can be a force for inclusion or exclusion. (His wife Julie, or maybe his aunt Marti, critiques for instance his use of the word "Balkanization" as it implies that the people living there are inherently isolationist and violent.) While in past centuries finding one's roots was a means of establishing power and celebrity, today, particularly with the ready availability of DNA testing, exploring one's branches can be a way to find acceptance at least for all those "others." To this end he also reviews recent research and recounts some rather harsh arguments with family members.
A handy appendix, "A Brief and Subjective Guide to Getting Started on Your Family Tree" is full of good advice, handy references and cautionary words.

While one of your main priorities as a business owner is likely to create a company that you're able to run successfully, there's no way you're going to be able to accomplish this if you're always having to divert your attention away from your business due to litigation. And although having a great legal team on your side can help minimize the damage done to your organization from being sued, it's better to simply eliminate any reason for your business to be sued rather than dealing with legal suits as they come. To help with this, here are three tips for keeping people safe on your business' property in order to avoid personal injury and liability claims against your organization.
Do Regular Safety Inspections
To best protect both customers and employees from getting hurt when on your property, you should schedule regular safety inspections to take place all around the premises. According to Ben Lobel, a contributor to SmallBusiness.co.uk, not only should you check out the interior of your building for hazards, but you need to give the exterior of your building the same attention. If anything inside or outside your building were to injury someone, you could have a major lawsuit on your hands. But by doing regular safety inspections, either yourself or from someone hired for this purpose, you'll be able to notice safety hazards before they cause damage to anyone.
Make Cleanliness A Priority
As a part of ensuring that your property is safe for your customers and employees, Simon Brisk, a contributor to Business.com, advises that you and your staff make cleanliness a priority. Because you can't be expected to take care of all the maintenance and upkeep of your building yourself, it's crucial that you make it part of your company culture to have every member of your staff notice and respond appropriately to any mess they notice. By keeping everything on your property clean, you'll be able to reduce the chances of someone getting hurt through some kind of accident.
Use Signage When You Need To
At times, you may need to go an extra step to help keep everyone on your business' property safe. So when there is some type of danger present that you need your customers or staff to be aware of, Vinil Ramdev, a contributor to Entrepreneur.com, recommends that you use signage to shares this information. If there's a wet spot on the floor or any other hazards, make sure you put up a sign to make everyone aware and encourage them to stay safe in this area.
To help your business avoid personal injury litigation, consider using the tips mentioned above to keep everyone on your property safe from hazards.

Neither Rizzo nor Baker nor anyone else knows exactly what they are going to get, so they press their noses to the fence and take note of his delivery. They do not expect to find a closer in Nathan and his twice-repaired right elbow. But maybe, just maybe, they will find someone to bring experience, wisdom, and late-inning depth to their bullpen.
"Everybody keeps talking about he's 42 years old, but he doesn't have a 42-year-old arm since he's been operated on a couple times, and he certainly doesn't have a 42-year-old body," said Baker, who managed Nathan as a 24-year-old rookie and admitted he is rooting for him now.
Nathan is as affable as he is tall, with a pleasant perspective on the game after 16 seasons spent at its highest level. He throws a football to warm up because it allows him to get loose gradually, with less arm speed than he generates with a baseball, with less torque than he creates when he pitches, a trick of the trade he's developed after two elbow surgeries.
He is listed at 6 foot 4, and came to camp as lean and toned as any of the younger, lesser-known pitchers whose lockers surround his. He chose number 74 because he was born in 1974, two decades before some of his neighbors in what might as well be called the "non-roster invite corner" of the Nationals' new clubhouse.
The righty has 18 times as many saves, with 377, as everyone else in that clubhouse combined, more than all but seven pitchers in history. But he does not necessarily need to re-emerge as a lockdown closer to provide value to these Nationals, who could use a proven ninth-inning guy but seem content to break in a new one.
Proven closers like Alex Colome of the Tampa Bay Rays or David Robertson of the Chicago White Sox have been reportedly available, but the Nationals have internal doubts about Colome, and Robertson is owed $25 million over the next two seasons. Even with a glut of catchers from which to deal, the Nationals seem unlikely to trade for someone owed so much. So whether for the ninth, eighth, seventh or beyond, the Nationals need bullpen depth. For now, it seems they will need to find it within.
"[Nathan's] a proven late-inning guy, so he's got to be considered for that," Nationals pitching coach Mike Maddux said. "A spot in the 'pen, late in the game. That's what I see him competing for."
Maddux was Nathan's pitching coach for two seasons in Texas, where Nathan made two all-star teams at age 37 and 38. Then, Maddux inherited Nathan two years after his Tommy John surgery and a season after he suffered through the worst statistical campaign of his Twins career. Now Maddux inherits Nathan two years after his second Tommy John surgery and a season after he made 10 big league appearances with two teams and spent time in the minors.
"It takes you two years to come back," Maddux said. "You come back, you pitch, and you're just kind of getting your feet back under you. Then after you pass that test, it's go time for you."
Nathan was not sure he would ever encounter "go time" again after his second surgery in April 2015. He said coming back to pitch in the majors was not his ultimate goal in the immediate aftermath of the procedure. Getting healthy was. If he could pitch in the big leagues again, great. If not, he wanted to be healthy enough to play catch with his son.
So Nathan pushed through rehabilitation, fighting to beat his doctors' suggested 18-month timeline. Eighteen months of rehab would allow Nathan to return sometime in October, after the 2016 major league season ended. Eighteen months of rehab, therefore, would have left Nathan waiting and wondering through an entire winter.
"If I didn't pitch last year, I think it probably would have been near-impossible to sign on with a club coming into this year," Nathan said. "So I just pushed it ahead a little bit, and fortunately my arm responded to it."
Nathan spent time with the Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants last season, and he did not allow a run in 6 1/3 big league innings while pitching to a 2.35 ERA in 15 1/3 minor league frames. His fastball averaged just more than 91 mph during that brief big league stint, according to FanGraphs. Nathan's career average velocity is just more than 93.
"I think that was what was important last year, trying to get a lot of firsts out of the way," Nathan said. "How is my arm going to respond to back-to-back days? How is my arm going to respond to a long inning? Where is my velocity at? Does my curveball still have bite on it? Stuff like that."
Those are the things Maddux, Baker, Rizzo and the rest are looking for now, packed against the fences in the bullpens or lingering conspicuously during Nathan's live batting practices. They've watched Nathan grunt pitch after pitch, and take deep breaths between meaningless pitches on the bullpen mounds. They've watched Nathan exhale as he throws, as if these were late-October pitches instead of late-February tosses. Wednesday, those eager onlookers watched Adam Eaton rope a hanging Nathan curveball to right for what would have been a single. Then they watched Eaton take a fastball on the outside corner and cock his head, intrigued.
A few curveballs Nathan threw Wednesday sputtered away in the dirt. A few fastballs sailed. But a growing number of whispers around the newly minted fields are conveying the same sentiment: Nathan looks good. His delivery is smooth. Most importantly, there's life to the fastball, though Maddux said he has yet to try to get a read on Nathan's actual velocity.
"For a guy that was hurt, you're not really looking at location as much as you're looking for how it's coming out of his hand," Baker said after Nathan threw in the bullpen earlier this week. "But he has both. Joe's looking good. He's looking very good, actually."
Baker managed Nathan when he was an up-and-comer with the Giants in the '90s, and knows what Nathan looks like when he is right. Early spring sessions, when pitchers throw behind screens and batters rarely choose to swing, are hardly a basis for conclusions. That Nathan has bounced back well from one bullpen session to the next, with a day of rest in between, indicates that his elbow is healthy and his rehab stuck.
But Nathan is as curious about his stuff as anyone clamoring to see it. After his first live batting practice session, Nathan walked off the mound and straight toward Eaton, Jayson Werth and Bryce Harper to see what they thought.
Eaton asked what a couple of his pitches were, because they sped by like fastballs but had change-up roll. Nathan told Eaton he was happy he swung, because seeing hitters react is the only way Nathan knows how his stuff is playing. Seeing hitters react will be the only way the Nationals know how his stuff is playing, too. As closely as they watched for the first week of camp, Baker, Rizzo and the rest will watch even more closely next week when games begin, and the true test of Nathan's 42-year-old stuff begins with them.

text: WHAT TO EXPECT We gather each Sunday at 9:30 am "at the foot of the cross and the opening to the empty grave, to give God our praise and to receive God's many blessings." We worship in a way that is traditional, contemporary, informal, and warm. WHO COMES TO WORSHIP Children and adults. Senior citizens and teenagers. Our youngest ones might sit at our playmat near the pulpit and build blocks while also singing songs of praise. Some people arrive a few minutes early, some arrive a few minutes late with coffee in hand. We're pretty casual in both dress and formality, so do not worry if you're running late. WHAT SONGS DO YOU SING? We start with a few songs accompanied by guitar and electric piano. Our music is usually a mix of traditional and contemporary, and even the traditional songs often have a "new" feel to them. People in the congregation may bang a tambourine or clap their hands. We also sing some ancient prayers that the church has sung for nearly 2000 years. "Ancient words set to a new tune" as our pastor likes to say. And many of our songs, together with our Scripture reading and prayers and more, come from the Bible. HOW DO YOU SHARE GOD'S WORD? Most of our songs, prayers, and blessings are rooted in God's Word. Even when we're not reading from the pages of the Bible, chances are the words we're singing or saying are based on Scripture. Children gather for a children's message before returning to their seats to hear the Scripture reading. Pastor shares a sermon proclaiming the promise of God in our lives. We respond to the sermon with song and prayer. HOW DO YOU PRAY IN WORSHIP? Prayer is one of the central acts of our worship service. We pray throughout the service in a variety of ways. Each week we pray especially for the church, the world, and for all people who have need. In our prayers we often cry out for God's justice and peace, for healing and for hope, and offer our thanksgiving for God's blessings and grace. Sometimes we invite people forward for the laying on of hands and prayer, in accordance with James 5:13-14. DO WE HAVE TO GIVE MONEY? There is no requirement to give. Yet in response to God's goodness to us, we give tithes and offerings each week to support the ministry of New Joy and of the church in the world. All are welcome to give, either by setting some money or a check in a basket, or by making a gift with your mobile phone. We also collect special offerings for local mission and community organizations, such as Open Doors of Westfield, a food pantry serving our community. WHO CAN RECEIVE COMMUNION AT NEW JOY? All are welcome to the Holy Communion meal. Each week we remember that our Lord freely gave himself to his disciples, and that he continues to give himself to us and to the world he so loves. All are welcome to the Lord's table to encounter him in the holy mystery of his body and blood. People of all ages receive the sacrament. Some seek a blessing. All are welcome. HOW LONG DOES WORSHIP LAST? Our service is about an hour long. After hearing God's Word and receiving our Lord's real presence in the bread and cup of Holy Communion, we are sent with a blessing to go into the world to proclaim the goodness of God in word and deed. But before we leave the church building we share some donuts, coffee, and conversation. On many Sundays a mission or learning activity will be held following worship. WHAT ABOUT THE KIDS? Children are welcome in worship! Kids sing and shake tambourines, and play on our playmat adjacent to the altar. Yet, we also offer a staffed nursery for our youngest children.

Graveyard sex attacker jailed for fifteen years
A man who held a gun to the head of a teenager before raping her in a Birmingham grave yard has been jailed.
Twenty three-year-old Michael Ware, 23, from Northfield was sentenced to fifteen years at Birmingham Crown Court after pleading guilty to the assault.
Ware had followed his 19 year-old victim from Kings Norton railway station on the evening of 6th December last year.
He threatened her with the imitation firearm on Back Road, Kings Norton and forced her into church grounds nearby.
During the attack, the woman managed to grab the gun from Ware and used this as her chance to escape.
When officers combed the crime scene for clues they found a damaged mobile phone that was traced back to Ware.
This must have been a terrifying ordeal for her and we would like to commend her for her bravery. "She had the presence of mind to pick up the gun that had been placed on the floor and used this as her means to escape."
"Ware planned the attack and we are convinced that he would have carried on offending, the fact that he was caught following another potential victim proves this."
He was arrested a few days later after a neighbourhood police officer spotted him following a woman from Kings Norton train station.He matched the description circulated to officers following the assault and when stopped and searched was found be armed with a knife.
Ware received 15 years for four counts of sexual assault and rape, seven years for possession of an imitation firearm and one year for possession of a bladed article ? to run concurrently.
He will also be placed on the sex offender register for life.
Sixteen-year-old charged over bullying video
A 16-year-old girl will appear in court later today to hear claims she assaulted two schoolgirls in Northfield on Saturday night.
The alleged attack was caught on camera and has since been widely posted on social media sites over the last two days.
The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been charged with robbery and assault and will appear at Birmingham Youth Court later today. She was remanded in custody last night after being charged.
Police have warned members of the public to remove the video from their social media accounts, now that a suspect has been charged and out of respect for the victims.
They have also reminded social media users that naming the teenager online would jeopardise court proceedings.
Fire service free schoolboys stuck in child swing
Firefighters had to cut two secondary schoolboys free after they got stuck in a child's swing in a play area.
A crew from Northfield Community Fire Station went to the Victoria Park play area on Tuesday 16 June.
A picture posted on the station's Facebook page showed two children stuck in a swing with bars to stop smaller children from falling out.
The post on social media also said the firefighters used cutting gear to free the boys, with the only injuries being "a bit of bruised pride".

Wiggins wins historic gold medal
Bradley Wiggins claimed a British record seventh Olympic medal with a sensational gold in the men's time trial.
The Tour de France winner stopped the clock at 50 minutes 39 seconds for the 44km course.
This was a convincing 42 seconds quicker than Germany's world champion Tony Martin, and 68 seconds faster than British team-mate Chris Froome, runner-up to Wiggins in Paris 10 days ago.
Wiggins' seven Olympic medals – four golds, a silver and two bronzes – give him one more than rowing great Sir Steve Redgrave.
"I don't think my sporting career will ever top this now," said Wiggins. "That's it. It will never, never get better than that. Incredible."
He added: "It had to be gold today or nothing. What's the point of seven medals if they're not the right colour?
"The main number is that is gold number four. So I have got to carry on to Rio now and make it five. Just to be mentioned in the same breath as Sir Steve Redgrave and Sir Chris Hoy is very special."
Comparisons between different eras and sports are notoriously subjective, but Wiggins' results in 2012 put him amongst a select group of British sports heroes.
His victory at the Tour, the first by a British rider, was already an achievement of historic proportions, but to back that up with a fourth gold medal – in three different events, across three Games – is unparalleled in cycling history.
At the 2000 Sydney Olympics he was part of the group that won the bronze medal in the team pursuit event, following that up in Athens by becoming the first Briton in 40 years to win three medals at a Games, before winning the pursuit and team pursuit in Beijing.
Continue reading the main story
"The greatest British cyclist of all time"
Chris Boardman
British trailblazer Chris Boardman, whose 1992 individual pursuit gold inspired a young Wiggins, is in no doubt as to where the 32-year-old Londoner's achievements should be ranked.
"His sporting performances this year have been unprecedented," said Boardman.
"The greatest British cyclist of all time, I have no qualms about saying that. One of the top British sportsmen, also."
Unbeaten in time trials of this distance since losing to Martin at the 2011 World Championships in Copenhagen, Wiggins came into this race as the bookies' favourite. That status might faze some, but the Chorley-based cyclist has been dealing with rising expectations all year.
Marginally down on his German rival at the first time check at 9km, he did not panic. His body position, all important in this discipline, remained perfectly aerodynamic as he turned his pedals with unmatched efficiency and power.
By 18km, he was 11 seconds up; at 29km, his lead was 23 seconds. There was no catching him then, as he was roared home by a massive crowd.
What was in doubt, though, was if the Kenyan-born Froome could claim a one-two finish to match the pair's Tour de France exploits.
But the impressive Martin, who has suffered two serious injuries this season, gritted his teeth to split the Team GB stars.
Taylor Phinney picked up a second fourth-place finish in London 2012's road cycling events – an agonising return for the talented American – while defending champion Fabian Cancellara could only manage seventh.
A special mention should also go to Luis Leon Sanchez Gil: the unfortunate Spaniard, an outside medal hope, saw his chain snap as he accelerated away from the starting ramp, before puncturing a tyre out on the course.
But this was a day belonged to one man, the owner of what French newspaper L'Equipe has described "as the most famous sideburns since Elvis Presley", and probably the recipient of British sport's next knighthood.

The Atlanta housing market might have taken a beating during the economic crisis. However, it is making a comeback slowly but surely. The past couple of years have seen gains that have allowed the struggling market to escape from price weaknesses. The value of homes in Georgia has increased which is a significant improvement compared to the last few years which saw prices drop significantly.
According to Zillow, the market is favoring sellers over buyers, and the average home value in Georgia increased by about 9% in the last year alone. Click To Tweet However, there may only be a 2% rise in the next 12 months or so as far as house values go. On the other hand, real estate in Georgia is set to remain competitive in the future.
In Atlanta, the average price of a home is about $167,800 which is an increase of 6% when compared to last year's prices. What is encouraging to see is that home owners have experienced substantial equity over the last couple of years. In other words, the Atlanta real estate market is experiencing an upward swing that is not slowing down anytime soon.
The bottom line is that the real estate industry in Georgia will remain stable and competitive for the foreseeable future. The reason is a strong demand for inventory that is limited at the moment. The lack of property has jacked up prices and many new homeowners may feel the crunch. In other words, sellers have more to gain than buyers. However, real estate professionals might be able to make a mint advertising to professional investors.
The Atlanta market is generally still affordable, and there are a number of choices for interested buyers in different price points. There is something for everyone in the market.

Surveying Database Internals
- Peeking under the hood of MongoDB, Membase, Hypertable, Apache Cassandra, and Berkeley DB
- Exploring the internal architectural elements of a few select NoSQL products
- Understanding the under-the-hood design choices
Learning a product or a tool involves at least three dimensions, namely:
- Understanding its semantics and syntax
- Learning by trying and using it
- Understanding its internals and knowing what is happening under the hood
In the preceding chapters, you were exposed to a considerable amount of syntax, especially in the context of MongoDB, Redis, CouchDB, HBase, and Cassandra. Many of the examples illustrated the syntax and explained the concepts so trying them out would have given you a good hands-on head start to learning the NoSQL products. In some chapters, you had the opportunity to peek under the hood. In this chapter you dive deeper into in-depth discovery by exploring the architecture and the internals of a few select NoSQL products. As with the other chapters, the set of products I chose represents different types of NoSQL products. The products discussed in this chapter made it to the list for various reasons, some of which are as follows:
- MongoDB — MongoDB has been featured in many chapters of this book. The book has already covered a few aspects of MongoDB internals and adding to that information base provides a comprehensive enough coverage of the product.
- Membase — As far as key/value in-memory, ...

In this paper, we investigated some microphysical and optical properties of Antarctic sea aerosols from OPAC to determine the effect of hygroscopic growth at the spectral range of 0.25µm to 2.5µm and eight relative humidities (RHs) (0, 50, 70, 80, 90, 95, 98, and 99%).The microphysical properties extracted were radii, volume mix ratio, number mix ratio and mass mix ratio as a function of RH while the optical properties are scattering and absorption coefficients and asymmetric parameters. Using the microphysical properties, growth factors of the mixtures were determined while using optical properties we determined the enhancement parameters and were then parameterized using some models. We observed that the data fitted the models very well. The angstrom coefficients which determined the particles size distribution increases with the increase in RHs except at the delinquent point where it decreases with the increase in RHs. The mixture was determined to have bimodal type of distribution with the dominance of fine mode particles but non-spherical.
Keywords:Microphysical properties, optical properties, hygroscopic growth, enhancement parameters, parameterizations.

Ma al-mani'
(Why not?)
al-Nakkar, Tafrjd ( Najjar, Taghreed) (text)
Manatira, Hassan ( Manasrah, Hassan) (illus.)
Aman: Al-Salwa, 2013. – 29 p.
Gender role | Tradition | Emancipation | Ramadan
A widowed man and his daughter Samia live in a small village in Palestine in the 1930s. For years now, the man has been responsible for playing his drums to wake the villagers during Ramadan, the month of fasting, so that they get up in time to eat their fi rst meal before sunrise. When he suddenly falls ill and has to stay in bed, Samia proposes to
step into the breach until he feels better. It's not an easy decision for the father, but he eventually agrees.
The next night, the girl, accompanied by her dog Barq, sets off with a lantern. She crosses a dark forest and surprises the village people with her drumming.
In ≫Mā al-māni≪, the author questions the traditional female role. The story encourages readers to be open-minded and confi dent and believe in their own skills. The colourful double spread illustrations present an atmospheric image of the nocturnal setting. (Age: 7+)

Hello all and greetings, again, from sunny (albeit cold) Macedonia!
I'm doing what I can to tighten up the rivet linkages on a friend's rotary valves for his baritone. They're super loose, wobbly and the s-linkages don't really work properly. The valves stick and all. Is there anyone out there who may have an old three valve cluster for a Weltklang baritone I could buy? I will upload pictures if needed. I've tried some heat to straighten the s-linkage, tried to push the rivets back in tighter, all that.
No, I'm not a tech (wish I would have studied that instead of Germanic languages sometimes), but I am probably one of the only few people out here in Kočani who know how to do a few things on horns, oddly enough...

Moving into your first apartment is always exciting, but after the initial hype dies down, it's time to get real and think of what to buy for your place. There are many items that people take for granted, but these are worth investing money in, as you'll use them on a daily basis. Even if you're on a tight budget, here are a list of essential items you need for your first home:
You've probably thought about getting takeout everyday, but after a while, you're bound to get sick of it and miss home-cooked meals. Even if you're not a masterchef, it's worth investing in high-quality kitchenware, such as a rice cooker, pots, pans and cutlery. These items are crucial for the average homeowner, as you can make simple meals for one with these items.
Maintenance tools
This might not seem like a top priority at the moment, but in times of needs, you'll definitely need these maintenance tools in your life. Invest in a tool kit with a complete set of handy tools, such as a wrench, hammer, scissors, screwdrivers and pliers. People call them "handy" tools for a reason!
Towels and bedsheets
These may be essential items for your home, but if you're on a tight budget, it isn't worth investing in fancy towels and bedsheets. For your first apartment, start with basic items from stores such as Ikea, Japan Home Centre or Pricerite. Even when the towels and bedsheets become old and worn, you can use them as a spare set for guests.
Quality mattress
While the quality of towels and bedsheets shouldn't be your main concern, we recommend investing in a quality mattress. You may be tempted to buy a cheap mattress when you're on a tight budget, but you'll need to replace it in a few short years. Instead of throwing money down the drain, invest in a name-brand mattress in a mid-range price to get your money's worth.
Wardrobe maintenance
Wardrobe maintenance items are another category of items that aren't worth skimping out on, since you'll use items such as an iron and ironing board, lint roller and sewing kit on a daily basis. Even if you don't know how to iron or sew, these are essential life skills that you should learn sooner or later!

Last year, when Hai Nguyen won first prize in the Patriotic Art Contest, he spoke about the therapeutic benefits of expressing oneself through art.
Nguyen, a combat veteran who served in Afghanistan with the Marine Corps, produced a winning black-and-white photo titled "Far From Home" that represented the struggles younger veterans like himself have faced back home.
Through photography, Nguyen said, he found a release from the emotional trauma that can stalk veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars – along with survivors of previous conflicts. Many suffer in silence with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Providing an outlet for hidden feelings as part of a move toward healing is the goal of art contest organizer Torch 1975 Inc., which is holding the Patriotic Art Contest once again.
The Capistrano Beach-based nonprofit organization invites veterans, active duty military members and their spouses to enter their artwork in this year's contest, running through July 15.
Entries can include various visual art forms: photography, painting, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking and others. The contest is open to residents of California, Nevada and Arizona.
Prizes are expected to range from $300 to $2,000. Winners will be recognized at a dinner gala and auction later in the year.
For more information about the Patriotic Art Contest, go to torch1975.org, call 949-456-3745 or email email@example.com.

Bessie Mabel Rischbieth
Bessie Mabel Rischbieth (1874-1967) was a feminist and leader for six decades of Western Australian, national and international womenís organisations working for equal rights and the welfare of women and children. The driving forces of her life were social reform and the status of women. A theosophist, she shunned party-politics and aggressive activism and sought change through persuasion and legislation. Courtesy Australian Dictionary of Biography
Australian Federation of Women Voters
The British Dominions Women Citizens' Union joins with women's societies in Australia to form the Australian Federation of Women's Societies for Equal Citizenship (later the Australian Federation of Women Voters). Founded by Bessie Rischbieth, it aims to achieve 'equality of opportunity, status, responsibility and reward between men and women'. From 1922, each Australian delegation to the League of Nations General Assembly includes women as a result of the Federation's lobbying. The Federation affiliates with the British Commonwealth League and the International Alliance of Women, and survives until at least 1974.

slow but steady progress
The inside take much time because you have to do many small things and make decisions how you gonna make it. Today I made new access holes in the other bunk. The edges are puttied. I made some finger holes in all the access panels, I made them 24mm. I did round the footrest and put some putty on the corner so have to round it again. The access flanges are already cut so I can place them tomorrow. I cut some foam panels again, this time for the bunk backrests and the comings. I have to repair my router to, it stopped when I was busy with it, I think it is the wire. In the mean time we also sail every weekend with Thrill Seeker.

Brazil sues top tobacco firms to recover public health costs
BRASILIA, May 22 (Reuters) - Brazil's solicitor general's office is suing the world's largest cigarette makers British American Tobacco Plc and Philip Morris International to recover the public health treatment costs of tobacco-related diseases over the last five years.
The office, known as the AGU, announced the landmark lawsuit late on Tuesday against the two multinational companies and their Brazilian subsidiaries.
The legal action seeks to recover the cost to Brazil's public health system for the treatment of patients for 26 illnesses related to smoking tobacco or coming into contact with cigarette smoke, the AGU said in a statement.
The value of the costs the government seeks to recover will be calculated at a later date, should it win the lawsuit filed in the southern city of Porto Alegre, the AGU said.
"Since the profit from this business is sent abroad, it is fair that these multinational companies pay for this responsibility they have left to Brazilian society," prosecutor Davi Bressler said in the statement.
The AGU said the companies through their subsidiaries, Souza Cruz Ltda, Philip Morris Brasil Industria e Comercio Ltda and Philip Morris Brasil SA, produce about 90 percent of the cigarettes sold in Brazil.
The lawsuit was heralded as historic by groups that advocate in favor of reducing tobacco consumption.
"The suit is the first of its kind for Brazil and a significant step toward holding the two major tobacco companies who do business in Brazil and their parent companies responsible for the enormous financial and health burdens caused by tobacco use," the Washington-based Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids said.
Despite the advancements in tobacco control policies in Brazil, tobacco remains the country's leading cause of preventable death, the group said in a statement.
BAT and Philip Morris did not immediately respond to requests for comment. (Reporting by Anthony Boadle, editing by G Crosse)
