Exxon Mobil efforts halted after Venezuela confrontation
Exxon Mobil's efforts offshore of Guyana were abruptly halted when the Venezuelan navy confronted a contract vessel.
The offshore waters of the small South American nation Guyana have become Exxon Mobil's largest point of emphasis outside of West Texas' booming Permian Basin. But century-old border disputes with neighboring Venezuela threaten Exxon's efforts along with its joint venture partner, Hess Corp. of New York.
Exxon Mobil confirmed it "paused" its seismic data-recording along the western portion of what's known as the Stabroek Block offshore of Guyana. A Norwegian seismic vessel contracted by Exxon Mobil fled the region after being intercepted by Venezuelan authorities.
"Seismic operations on the Stabroek Block offshore Guyana have been paused until they can be safely continued," an Exxon Mobil spokeswoman said. "Our main concern is for the safety of crew members and others in the area.
RELATED: In Guyana, Exxon oil project stirs international tensions
"We are in communication with the necessary authorities," she added. "The acquisition of seismic data is being conducted under license from the government of Guyana. The vessels were operating within Guyana's exclusive economic zone."
Venezuela is facing its own economic and geopolitical crisis and the socialist nation has seen its oil production fall to its lowest level in several decades.
The deepwater dispute is pending before the International Court of Justice, the United Nation's court system in the Netherlands.
And it's not the first tie tensions have boiled over. Five years ago, the Venezuelan navy seized a ship contracted by The Woodlands-based Anadarko Petroleum.
But it's the Exxon Mobil-led effort that's truly revitalized the oil interests of Guyana. Because of the exploration efforts, Guyana actually led the world this year in new oil and gas discoveries, even ahead of Russia and the United States. In fact, Guyana accounted for almost a quarter of the 8.8 billion barrels in oil equivalent discovered so far this year.
Exxon and Hess announced well more than 2 billion barrels in new discoveries offshore of Guyana this year, increasing their overall recoverable resources in the region to about 5 billion barrels of oil equivalent. Commercial production from Guyana is expected to begin in 2020.

John Zorn's Acoustic Masada The Music Hall, Toronto ON - June 28, 2006
Published Aug 01, 2006Fans of the iconic saxophonist and composer have waited nine years for Zorn to return to Toronto, so the fact that the doors opened an hour later than scheduled was almost fitting. Once seated, it didn't help the audience's patience to see bassist Greg Cohen cross the stage with a brown-bagged dinner. But rather than acknowledge the delay, Zorn instead immediately ripped into one of the most abrasive numbers of the evening, perhaps as catharsis, perhaps to signal that "Acoustic Masada doesnt mean easy listening, or perhaps as an unapologetic reminder that he makes his own rules no matter the circumstances. Clad in god-awful yellow camouflage pants, Zorn is far dorkier in person than you would ever expect, contorting himself while he humps his leg with his saxophone, kisses the mouthpiece and unleashes thwacks and pops in the middle of melodies. Ample space was given to trumpeter Dave Douglas, the youngster of the 50-something quartet, who provided a more traditional counterpart to Zorn's more angular moments. Greg Cohen, best known as Tom Waits bassist for 20 years, was given generous solo time while drummer Joey Baron provided delicate colour. The rock slummers in the audience more than a few of whom were sporting Dillinger Escape Plan shirts could detect Zorn's influence on protégé Mike Patton, who conducts Fantômas much the same way Zorn commands the occasionally spastic Masada through hand flourishes and eye contact. For the Jews and jazzbos in the audience, the joy of Masada is hearing Zorn crafting the acidic from the Hasidic, bending klezmer motifs into passages equally gorgeous and grating, but always exhilarating.

20 years of Anna Kolbjørnsdatter Lodge
Today we celebrated twenty years of our Daughters of Norway Lodge, Anna Kolbjørnsdatter, #36. We had a catered tea party prepared by our sisters of Sigrid Undset Lodge #32.
That's the beautiful program our Cultural Director, Jill Beatty, created.
We honored our charter members, past presidents, and deceased members, each group in a special, different way. And we initiated several new members. It was a day to celebrate all the talented women, past and present, who make our organization the sisterhood it is.
At the very end, all these candles, representing deceased members were lit. Then we proceeded up to the table, each member with a flower in hand with a late sister's name on it. When we reached the front, the name was read, a candle extinguished, and the flower placed in the vase.
This year is also the 100th anniversary of the first Daughters of Norway lodges.
If you are in San Francisco at the first part of May, be sure to go to Norway Day on the 3rd and 4th. It's a fun time, and there is a lot of entertainment and things to see, do and buy. Our lodge is performing a troll play on Saturday afternoon.

I've been meaning to ask if you are Scandinavian, Kristen?
And by the way, my husband grew up a lot of places, including New Hampshire. He still has family and friends there. I can't wait until our son is old enough, and we have the time & money so I can see the East Coast and many of my in-laws.
I haven't been past Portage, Indiana (except Cape Canaveral, but that is the South, for sure).

He added that the value of exports over the period has amounted to $314 million. The official further noted that Iran has registered 10 exclusive brands (Kashmar, Mashahad, Kashan, Kerman, Naein, Yazd, Ardebil, Sarough, Turkmen, Golestan, and Hamedan) for its hand-woven carpets at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in an attempt to prevent other countries from copying the designs and patterns of the Iranian carpets.

Kate Trinko: Joining us today is Secretary David Bernhardt, head of the Interior Department. Secretary Bernhardt, thanks for joining us.
David Bernhardt: Thank you for having me.
Trinko: You just announced that you're moving the Bureau of Land Management headquarters to Grand Junction, Colorado. It's currently in Washington, D.C. What's the reason behind the move?
Bernhardt: About two years ago, the secretary of the interior, Ryan Zinke, began to develop a plan for reorganization. And that plan is driven by one simple premise: How do we better serve the American people throughout the Department of the Interior?
So his plan involved some regional restructuring, which we did last year and completed. It also involved some concepts of realigning people in the west.
Most of Interior's land, and our responsibilities, are mostly in the western United States. We manage 1 in every 5 acres of land in the United States, and then about 1.7 billion acres on the Outer Continental Shelf. And most of BLM's land, that's the Bureau of Land Management, most of the land that they manage actually is in the west.
So he was interested in looking for opportunities and a plan that would allow us to highlight an idea that other members of Congress had been thinking of for a while, which was a move west.
When I first looked at the plan after I came in as the secretary, I began with a couple of questions. And the first question was, we have wonderful people working at BLM here in D.C., and we need to make sure that those jobs that should be done in D.C. are absolutely done in D.C. because they're mission critical.
So we evaluated every job in our leadership office and we said, "Is this, first, a job that is necessary to be done?" And then second, "If it's necessary, is it best located in Washington, D.C.?"
By doing that, we realized that over time the department had grown in ways that many of the jobs don't need to be in D.C.
And on top of that, sending our leadership west would give them a perspective of being close to the lands that they manage, near the communities that have the lands surrounding them that they manage, and would make them be in a situation where they would have to travel a shorter distance to be within the leadership areas that they lead.
So we began a process of looking, came up with a plan, and we've submitted that plan to Congress, where they'll have a period of time to look at it and see what they want to say to us. And then we'll begin to implement, hopefully.
Trinko: I would just say, as someone who lives in the D.C. bubble, it might be interesting to see if some bureaucrats are thinking outside the bubble, literally. But we'll see what happens.
Bernhardt: Well, we have a lot of great people and the reality is some folks in our organization have not wanted to be promoted because it would require them to move to Washington, D.C. And we have people that'll be very excited to leave and we'll have other people that aren't, and we'll work with them to try and find a good solution for everybody.
Trinko: You mentioned "respect" and be a "good neighbor" as the words that reflect your view on what federalism means for the Interior Department during your remarks at The Heritage Foundation earlier today. Can you expound on that?
Bernhardt: Sure. I believe that at the Department of the Interior—unlike a number of federal agencies that have delegated programs where they have an authority that's been then delegated to the state for implementation, we have a few of those. But most of our work is authorizing things to take place on our land, or actually carrying out activities on that land, such as fighting fire.
So when we are taking an action, what we need to do is be mindful of that. We have neighbors, we have states, we have private citizens, we have localities, all that are potentially impacted by the decisions we make.
I grew up in a very small town in western Colorado; a community that was virtually surrounded by federal land. And as a result of that, the decisions that the local land managers made carried with them the hopes and dreams of my entire community at times. They also carried with them the hopes and dreams of individual families.
We have grazing permittees that have specific permits to graze cattle on the federal land. And so, you add something as simple as that to a major plant or a wind farm, it can have tremendous benefits, both positive and negative, for a local community.
So from my perspective, what we need to do is—and it's not rocket science—act like good neighbors. We need to approach our neighbors, visit with them about what we're doing, get their input, and see if we can come up with solutions that are best for the entire community.
Trinko: OK. And then you also mentioned the issue of the sage-grouse, you worked with seven states. Can you tell us about that example and how that worked?
Bernhardt: Sure. That's a great example. … For almost 20 years there's been great attention to the plight and the potential protection of the greater sage-grouse, which is a wide-roaming bird in the western United States that is susceptible to things like fire, drought, encroachment, in a variety of ways.
With the sage brush ecosystem being something that's very important to a whole host of species, a lot of attention has been taken of the sage-grouse over time. And it is driven on one hand by the fact that the Endangered Species Act provides a regulatory mechanism to protect birds and other animals and fauna that merit protection under the act based on five factors.
The sage-grouse is not a listed entity, but at times it's warranted listing. And the states, really at the beginning of the Bush administration, began an effort to work with the Department of the Interior on a whole host of efforts to ensure that we were doing things better for the sage-grouse, collectively.
Secretary [Ken] Salazar, when he was the secretary of the Department of the Interior, went out throughout these western states and said, "Look, I want to work with you and develop a plan that would be helpful, helpful to the sage-grouse and also respectful and responsible for you."
He did that. He came up with a plan, at least this is what the governors told me; worked together on the plan. And then a different secretary came in and made some decisions that departed from those plans quite significantly.
So when Secretary Zinke became secretary, he heard a lot from the governors about those plans recognizing the need to be very responsible to the sage-grouse.
When I first joined the department, he came to me and said, "Look, I want you to go work on the sage-grouse issue and see if we can come to a better resolution."
So what we did is we sat down with the various governors and we said to them, "Look, we need to be very responsible here for the sage-grouse, and recognize the tremendous investment that the states and local communities and federal government had put over a period of years into having a successful sage-grouse program, and we understand that you have problems with your plan, or maybe you don't."
And certain governors said to me, "I have no problem. I love my plan." For those governors, we said, "OK, well, we'll let you keep your plan."
Other governors had concerns, some big concerns, some little. And what I did is I worked with each governor and said to them, "Look, you need to be responsible for the fact that what you asked for, you have to remember that you have neighbors here, too, that are all affected by your decision."
These governors were incredible at making requests that were targeted and focused, but at the same time, recognized the broader need of everybody to be responsible.
It's a great example of whether you're a red state governor or a blue state governor, you can make a great decision, come to a good place, recognizing that you, too, could impact your neighbors in a particular way.
So they came up with some ideas. We tried to work with those ideas, went through a public process to sand those ideas and then finalized a plan.
We finalized the plans, the variety of plans, the governors stood there with us, red state and blue state in support of the changes for their plans. And I think that that is indicative of a whole host of things that we're working on collaboratively with governors of all stripes.
Trinko: You recently opened up, I believe, 1.4 million acres for hunting and fishing that previously were off limits. Why did the Interior Department decide to do that and what does that mean?
Bernhardt: We opened and expanded access, so what that really means is we did something that's really unprecedented.
Our Fish and Wildlife Service, we have 10 hunt and fish chiefs. And they went line by line through our regulatory programs and said, "Look, we all recognize that … a critical component of wildlife conservation is getting folks outdoors, conserving wildlife, and then engaging in hunting and fishing activity."
Well, why is that? That's because most of the funding for wildlife conservation comes from taxes and the sales of licenses, and sale of things that facilitate hunting and fishing. That is what the lion's share of money for wildlife conservation is.
If you ask wildlife recreationists, hunters, anglers, photographers, what leads them to not go hunting or fishing, their No. 1 issue is public access. That's No. 1. The proximity or lack of access to opportunity really leads to folks not wanting to do those activities anymore.
The other thing is the complexity of our regulations, which you would think is kind of silly, right? But it's not. The hunting and fishing regulations of states are often very different than the federal government's.
So what we did is we looked at all of our fish and wildlife property and said, "Hey, are there hunting and activities on these properties that we could be expanding or opening all anew?" And two, "Are there regulations where we and the states don't line up? Then maybe we ought to try and align them up and make them less complicated."
We did both of those things over this year. So right now on the street, we have proposed an additional 1.4 million acres that either we're opening or expanding access to.
In doing that we'll have many more hunting and fishing opportunities of different stripes for folks. And at the same time, we've tried to align our regulations so it's less complicated for people to get out there.
Trinko: So, forest fires have been devastating the country, especially California in recent years. How does the Interior Department plan to deal with forest fires?
Bernhardt: Well, the president has given incredible direction with an executive order he signed last year that's very aggressive on active management.
… As you know, we had terrible tragedies in California last year. The president visited those areas and came back, I think, convinced that he needed to give us clear direction and have us working with the states.
So, we do a very significant amount of treatment to try and actively manage our forests better. They've not been actively managed for a really long time.
Last year, I think we did 2,500 treatment projects. Over 170,000 acres have been managed for resource purposes. I just proposed a firebreak plan that has 11,000 miles of firebreaks proposed. And this year, we'll be deploying about 4,500 firefighters to continue to fight fires.
That's our focus, both the treatment and active management, and then fighting the fires when we need to.
Trinko: Well, thank you for joining us today, Secretary.
Bernhardt: Thanks a lot.

The zipper is ideal for slipping the glove on and off because it releases pressure off of your hand at its widest point. The hook and loop tab is 4.5'' long and holds the zipper tab in a locked position, protects the zipper while diving and helps close the glove in case the zipper becomes damaged. The hook and loop tab can also be placed in a resting position when the glove is unzipped to prevent a snag hazard, as well as speeds up the drying process. Leave the cold hands at home.

Washington, DC, Jan 27, 2005
Opportunities for collaboration and information sharing in key areas were the focus of the 19th meeting between representatives of the American National Standards Institute and the European standards organizations (ESOs). This annual dialogue is a platform for ANSI and the European Standards Organizations to identify and address standards related issues to avoid trade disputes. More than 60 participants, including ranking officials of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), convened in Washington, DC, on January 25-27, 2005, to address items of mutual interest in the global standardization community.
Participants discussed security-related standards initiatives, noting a commonality of approach at the national, regional and international levels and a growing number of activities affecting citizens around the world. Effective implementation of ISO and IEC initiatives on global relevance were commended as being of critical importance. A detailed consideration of accessibility standards and regulations on both sides of the Atlantic led to the conclusion that there was mutual interest in avoiding technical barriers to trade and therefore great value in an ongoing dialogue involving both government and private sector interests. There were also active discussions on government standards-related initiatives, focusing on levels of funding and differences in strategic approach.

Clara thought she was in for an evening of marking essays, followed by a date, if things went well. Instead, she's facing down murderous alien fauna in her best dress, without a clue what the Doctor is searching for, or what is going to try to kill them should they find it! Offering shocks, surprises, and timestream-shaking revelations, don't miss your chance to get on board more
Robbie Morrison is known for his work on various BATMAN stories, and THE AUTHORITY.He had a very brief stint as a writer on the fascinating SPIDERMAN's TANGLED WEB.His work there was memorable, and a good example of why he's a great choice for DOCTOR WHO.If you're interested, check it out - it is one of the best MARVEL's you've never heard of, and it's still available in trade paperback (Volume 2).Dave Taylor also has a history with BATMAN, but he's also done some other work including projects for Marvel and JUDGE DREDD.This new DOCTOR WHO represents a change from the previous (post-revival) incarnations.The earlier Doctors have all been younger, 'cooler' types.Capaldi represents a return to paradigm of the Doctor as an older man.Capaldi's Doctor is still a man of action, but he is not a hipster; he is a man equal parts Sage and Warrior.This is why Morrison is a good choice.

So, lots of fun, highly recommended for any fan of The New Doctor! Read Full Review
So, will I come back to the title for issue #2? Oh most likely, unless something gets in the way. However, Titan needs to get their act together when it comes to these variant covers or I'll stop reading just based on principle. Read Full Review
Titan Comics' debut of the Twelfth Doctor is sure to make a splash with Doctor Who fans, and this reviewer eagerly awaits the next chapter of this story. Read Full Review
All in all, it's a great issue. It's not perfect, but it's pretty close. It's just so nice to see two great Doctor Who titles on the shelves. Let's hope next month sustains such a strong start. Read Full Review
Dave Taylor presents the world in a manner which is pleasing to the eyes. Hes tasked with drawing a lot of visually different scenes from the TARDIS interior to thick jungle lands to molten underground caverns, it all looks great. The characters themselves are drawn very accurately too, including Capaldis intense eyebrows, which again makes the comic feel authentic and is a great transition from the screen to the page. Read Full Review
In conclusion, the plot is handled well, and the mystery is introduced fairly quickly. It feels like an episode of the television series except without any budget constraints in terms of special effects, and it does what its meant to for a first issue, draw you in and keep you there. Its also worth noting quickly just how good the cover art is, as Alice X. Zhang knocks it out of the park, which is really an added bonus when you consider that this issue is mostly a success despite the negative elements that this reviewer has mentioned. Read Full Review
The only real weakness to this issue is the same problem that most TV tie-in comics possess. While fans of the current Doctor Who series will love this book, it does little to open itself up to comic readers who might discover the show through this book. The book isn't entirely inaccessible to new readers, but Whovians will get far more out of it than non-fans. Read Full Review
All in all, Doctor Who: The 12th Doctor #1 is a fun read, and honestly feels like some much desired bonus footage of the eighth season. There's always the implication that there are so many more adventures we never see, and this comic does a nice job of elucidating one of those. Read Full Review
All in all, while it's a bit of a rockier start than the the other two books, it also has a way harder job to do, and the plot of the issue is exciting and engaging enough to make me look forward to the next issue, and 100% positive that the rough patches will get smoothed out over time. Like every Titan Doctor Who book so far, it's well worth it for fans of the series. Read Full Review
A colorful and fun opening, it's just that it's difficult to reconcile with the ongoing BBC TV production. Read Full Review
Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor #1 is a great starting off point for the Twelfth Doctor's Titan adventures, as though it has a lot of work before becoming amazing, it sets a wonderful premise. It also leaves on an explosive cliffhanger definitely has me hooked for the next issue. Recommended. Read Full Review
While this wasn't my favorite Doctor Who comic, neither is the new season of the show. Both need time to grow and mature so I'm by no means writing this one off. In fact I think the creative team had a bigger challenge than the other Doctor Who comic creators and an even bigger challenge than the show runners because they had even less to work with and just as many people to impress. That's something I think everyone should keep in mind while reading the story. Read Full Review
Did I enjoy reading it? Yes, but thats because I am a fan of Doctor Who and in particular, a fan of Capaldis Doctor. It has a standard plot, albeit with some rather excellent characterisation, combined with art that is not up to scratch make this first issue of Titans Doctor Who: The Tweflth Doctor a pass for the majority of the comic going public. Fans of the Doctor might want to pick this up, but based on this first issue, they may want to wait for the trade. Much like other licenced comic properties, the series struggles to justify its existence. Read Full Review
I recommend this issue for Doctor Who fans, but no one else. Read Full Review
"Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor" #1 was a slightly audacious move from Titan, to get a full-length comic starring the new TARDIS team up and running so quickly. (At least when "Doctor Who Magazine" does something similar, an 8-page length means that the creative team has a bit more time to get their initial chapters together.) Morrison and Taylor really do the best they can under difficult circumstances, and I'll definitely check in shortly to see how having some more time and reference material has worked in their favor. For now, though, it's probably not going to wow those who are looking for their "Doctor Who" fix. Read Full Review

Obama's Dangerous Contempt for the Rule of Law
May 27, 2013
By Ramesh Ponnuru
Whatever the investigation into misconduct at the Internal Revenue Service reveals, we already have all the evidence we need to understand President Barack Obama's fundamental attitude toward the rule of law. That evidence is right there in the public record, and what it shows is indifference and contempt.
The Constitution gives the president the power to appoint officials to fill vacancies when the Senate isn't in session. In 2012, Obama made such "recess appointments" to the National Labor Relations Board and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau -- even though the Senate had stayed in session precisely to keep him from doing so.
Obama's lawyers argued that the Senate wasn't really in session even though it claimed to be: It was going through the motions to block Obama, but it wasn't taking up bills or nominations. No previous president had ever tried this maneuver, and an appeals court has just ruled that it was unconstitutional.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the sweeping health-care law that Obama signed in 2010, asks state governments to set up health exchanges, and authorizes the federal government to provide tax credits to people who use those exchanges to get insurance. But most states have refused to establish the online marketplaces, and both the tax credits and many of the law's penalties can't go into effect until the states act. Read More

In conjunction with 2018's theme of Nilai (Values), this exhibition delves into the significance of Kampong Gelam as an important port town where Muslims from all over the Malay Archipelago would congregate to prepare for the onward steamship passage to Mākkah in the late 19th century into the early 1970s. Undangan ke Baitullah adds a Southeast Asian perspective to this annual global movement of Muslims, which for many pilgrims, would be a once-in-a-lifetime journey of faith.

prysm seeks to explore how sounds in everyday life can be transformed into conventional visual art. The structure juxtaposes the natural and the man-made, utilizing the natural motion of water and refraction of light passing through, in conjunction with the LEDs and the motors that generate the ripples. Each LED strip corresponds to a unique frequency range and lights up based on the spectrum of the sound input - in addition, the volume of the sound determines the speed of the motors. The capacitive sensor then reacts to the water ripples, causing the LEDs to light up together when the moving water strikes the sensor.
The water beads in the tank have the same index of refraction as water; their motion through the tank, propelled by the motor, creates an effect of the beads popping in and out of visibility as they rise to the surface, generating "sparks" of color in the water as they refract the light rays from the LEDs.
As a moving, aesthetically pleasing sculpture that reacts to both volume and frequencies of audio input, prysm accentuates the beauty of everyday sounds - from background noises, to speech, to music. By combining these three mediums, we also explored the notion of different types of waves - sound waves, light waves, and water waves. The union of the natural and the man-made also add another tier to the transformation: the harmony of nature and technology work together to transform something as ordinary as the sounds of daily life, into a complex, mesmerizing multimedia work. The title of the work reflects the ability of the structure to take a simple input, such as a sound or a beam of white light, and dissect it into its interconnected parts, such as volume, frequency, color, and motion - or, a rainbow. The message is simple: everything seemingly plain can be transformed into something undeniably beautiful.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has guidelines Concerning Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising that govern the requirements for endorsements and disclosure of a "material connection between an endorser and an advertiser." The guidelines, at their core, reflect the basic truth-in-advertising principle that endorsements must be honest and not misleading. This module is designed to help you understand what, when and how disclosures must be communicated when a CAC partner fits into the "material connection" category.
See the FTC Guides Concerning Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising and the Endorsement Guides for more information.
In this module, you will learn:
- FTC guidelines require influencers and endorsers with a "material connection" to a brand/product to disclose that relationship when they communicate about the brand/product
- Disclosures must be unambiguous, clear and conspicuous
- CAC is ultimately responsible for what others say and do on our behalf, and therefore must educate them and require they follow FTC guidelines
Notification of FTC Oversight, Review of Social Media Content & Notice of Non-Compliance
After reviewing numerous Instagram posts by celebrities, athletes and other influencers, Federal Trade Commission staff recently sent out more than 90 letters reminding influencers and marketers that influencers should clearly and conspicuously disclose their relationships with brands when promoting or endorsing products through social media." Moreover, they need to understand that the FTC endorsement guidelines apply to both marketers and endorsers.
[Excerpt from the FTC guidelines]
Suppose you meet someone who tells you about a great new product. She tells you it performs wonderfully and offers fantastic new features that nobody else has. Would that recommendation factor into your decision to buy the product? Probably.
Now suppose the person works for the company that sells the product – or has been paid by the company to tout the product. Would you want to know that when you're evaluating the endorser's glowing recommendation? You bet. That common-sense premise is at the heart of the guidelines Concerning Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.
In addition, the guidelines say if there's a connection between an endorser and the marketer that consumers would not expect and it would affect how consumers evaluate the endorsement, that connection should be disclosed.
General Guidelines to be Followed:
- According to the FTC's Endorsement Guides, if there is a material connection between an endorser and an advertiser, that connection should be clearly and conspicuously disclosed unless it's already clear from the context of the communication. "Material connection" is a connection that might affect the weight or credibility that consumers give the endorsement – like a business or family relationship, a payment or the gift of a free product
- The legal responsibility for disclosing the relationship between an influencer and a brand is a two-way street. Influencers should clearly let people know about that connection and marketers have an obligation to make sure they do – usually by educating their influencers and monitoring what the influencers are doing on their behalf
- Disclosures placed at the end of a long post are not acceptable
- Disclosures as part of a list of multiple tags, hashtags or links where readers may just skip over them, especially when they appear at the end of a long post, are not acceptable
Bloggers, RDN Ambassadors, Third Party Program Participants, and All Other Influencers:
- Keep your disclosures unambiguous
Vague terms like "Thank you," "#partner" and "#sp" aren't likely to explain to people the nature of the relationship between an influencer and the brand. There's no one-size-fits-all way to make that disclosure, but an unfamiliar abbreviation or cryptic word subject to multiple interpretations won't do the trick. Approach the issue by asking yourself, in the context of this post, how can I make the connection clear?
- Make your disclosures hard to miss
In addition to what you say, consider where you say it and how it will look to consumers on the devices they're using. People should be able to spot the disclosure easily. But if they check their Instagram stream on a mobile device, they typically see only the first three lines of a longer post unless they click "more." And let's face it: Many people don't click "more." Therefore, disclose any material connection above the "more" button
- Avoid #HardtoRead #BuriedDisclosures #inStringofHashtags #SkippedByReaders
- To make a disclosure "clear and conspicuous," advertisers should use clear and unambiguous language and make the disclosure stand out. Consumers should be able to notice the disclosure easily. They should not have to look for it.
- In general, disclosures should be:
- Close to the claims to which they relate
- In a font that is easy to read
- In a shade that stands out against the background
- For video ads, on the screen long enough to be noticed, read, and understood
- For audio disclosures, read at a cadence that is easy for consumers to follow and in words consumers will understand

Social Media Contests:
It is not enough to include the contest hashtag in the contest post because many readers would not understand such a hashtag to mean that the people doing the posting had received something of value (in this case, a chance to win the contest prize). Making the word "contest" or "sweepstakes" part of the hashtag should be enough. However, the word "sweeps" probably isn't.
California Avocado Commission (CAC) Agency Requirements:
An ad agency (or any company for that matter) should not ask employees to say anything that isn't true. No one should endorse a product they haven't used or say things they don't believe, and an employer certainly shouldn't encourage employees to do that.
Moreover, employees of an ad, marketing or public relations firm that have a connection to the advertiser, should disclose the relationship in all social media posts. Agencies asking their employees to spread the word must instruct those employees about their responsibilities to disclose their relationship.
CAC Requirements:
Advertisers need to have reasonable programs in place to train and monitor members of their network. The scope of the program depends on the risk that deceptive practices by network participants could cause consumer harm – either physical injury or financial loss. For example, a network devoted to the sale of health products may require more supervision than a network promoting, say, a new fashion line.
Here are some elements every program should include:
- Given an advertiser's responsibility for substantiating objective product claims, explain to members of your network what they can (and can't) say about the products – for example, a list of the health claims they can make for your products
- Instruct members of the network on their responsibilities for disclosing their connections to you
- Periodically search for what your people are saying
- Follow up if you find questionable practices
It's unrealistic to expect you to be aware of every single statement made by a member of your network. But it's up to you to make a reasonable effort to know what participants in your network are saying.
CAC is ultimately responsible for what others do on our behalf. CAC will make sure agencies working on our behalf have an appropriate program in place to train and monitor members of our social media network. Ask for regular reports confirming that the program is operating properly and monitor the network periodically. Delegating part of your promotional program to an outside entity doesn't relieve you of responsibility under the FTC Act.
CAC Employees:
CAC will remind employees periodically of the FTC Endorsement Guidelines. When CAC learns that an employee has posted a review on the company's website or a social media site without adequately disclosing his or her relationship with the company, the Commission will remind the employee of our company policy and ask them to remove that review or adequately disclose that they're an employee.
CAC employees, must make sure they are complying with the policies before using any form of social media to talk about California Avocados.
If CAC allows employees to use their personal social media to talk about California Avocados, the relationship must be disclosed to people who read the online postings about the Commission or the fruit. Listing CAC as your employer on your profile page isn't enough.
Do the Federal Trade Commission Guides Concerning Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising apply to CAC, its staff and agency employees?
- Yes
- No
Does the disclosure apply to speaking engagements only?
- Yes, the disclosure applies only to speaking engagements
- No, the disclosure applies to speaking engagements, media appearances, social media posts, bloggers, educators; all influencers
Can I put my disclosure at the end of my blog post/social media post?
- Yes, as long as the disclosure is included in the post
- No. If you are speaking, the disclosure must be in the beginning of your speech. If it is written format, the disclosure should be in close proximity to the related claim
Are bloggers considered influencers?
- Yes, bloggers generally have an area of expertise that they speak/blog about and consumers who visit and/or subscribe to their blog take their recommendations and testimonials to heart; thus they are influencers
- No, bloggers do not need to follow the CAC disclosure policy

Text: ALEKS Course code: 94W9F-XHLY9
Calculator: A TI-83 or TI-84 graphing calculator is recommended for this course.
Prerequisite: C or better in MATH 093 or equivalent
or qualifying ACCUPLACER,
ACT/SAT test results.
Class Format: Lecture on new material, in-class work on ALEKS and group work.
Students are expected to actively participate in class.
Attendance: Attendance is checked every class period. Students are required to
come to class on time and to stay for the entire class period. Any student who
has missed more than three classes may be dropped from the roster. In order
to pass this class, you must log a minimum of 8 ALEKS hours every week.
Otherwise you will be administratively withdrawn from the class. This means
that at the end of week 1 of the semester you must have logged 8 hours. At the
end of week 2 you must reach 16 hours, at the end of week 3 you must reach
24 hours, etc. Only one single excuse from this policy is permitted, and you
must be caught up by the end of the following week. You may work ahead of
schedule, but you cannot fall behind! If you complete all of the material your
requirement drops to 3 hours per week.
Course Structure and Approach: ALEKS Learning Modules The mathematical
content in this class is mainly delivered through ALEKS, an interactive on-line
learning environment. Students work at their own pace and may access course
materials through any computer connected to the internet.
ALEKS classes differ from ordinary lecture-and-textbook classes in a few ways.
Where an ordinary class covers the curricular material from A to Z, ALEKS
will only drill the student in material where he or she has a deficiency. ALEKS
does not take you through material you already know. Therefore every ALEKS
course begins with an initial assessment so ALEKS can find out what you know
and what you don't know. The rest of the time in class is spent only on the part
of the curriculum you don't know. You will be re-assessed at regular intervals
so ALEKS can see if you retain the material have learned. In short, ALEKS'
approach to learning is: Fill in any gaps in your knowledge that prevents you
from reaching your semester goal.
ALEKS Assessments: ALEKS uses regular assessments to assess your progress to-
wards your semester goal. Assessments are comprehensive, which means that
every assessment will assess the entire course! In some sense, you are taking a
comprehensive final exam every time you take an ALEKS assessment. There-
fore, assessment scores will typically be low at the beginning of the semester,
but in your quest to reach the semester goal, you gradually acquire more knowl-
edge and as a result, your assessment scores improve. Ideally, towards the end
of the semester, your will master all the course material and your scores will
approach 100%.
It is very important that you do all ALEKS assessments without help in any
form! Do not use any books or notes. Do not use a calculator unless it is
available from the brown ALEKS toolbar at the top of the screen. Getting as-
sistance or "cheating" on ALEKS assessments will not improve your grade, but
it will cause ALEKS to start your learning exercises at a level which is beyond
your ability. ALEKS will eventually adjust to meet your specific needs.
Initial ALEKS Assessment The first time you login, ALEKS will do an initial
assessment of your algebra skills. The initial assessment is un-proctored - you
will take it on your own. It does not count in any way towards your grade.
This assessment is used by ALEKS to determine what material you are ready
to learn.
Mid-Semester ALEKS Assessments On-line assessments of your progress are
scheduled after every 20 ALEKS items or so are completed. These assessment
checks whether you are able to retain the material you have covered. Your con-
tinued progress in the class depends on how well you do on these assessments:
You receive credit for all items in which you show mastery. Any item you do
not master is listed as yet to be completed. This means than an assessment
could set you back! This could happen if you "forget" an item from earlier in
the course, and is unable to show mastery of the item in the assessment. In
this case you'll need to repeat the item. Mid-semester assessments are taken
on your own, they are un-proctored, and don't count towards your grade. The
best strategy when doing assessments is to be honest, and do the best you can.
If you don't know how to solve a problem on the assessment, just click the "I
Don't Know" button.
Final ALEKS Assessment (Final Exam): The final ALEKS assessment is a
mandatory, proctored assessment. No help of any kind is allowed: no books,
no notes ... It is identical in all aspects to the ALEKS assessments you have
been taking during the semester. You can think of this assessment as your final
Grading: The final grade will be determined by your final ALEKS assessment. Let-
ter grades will be assigned as follows:
S: 70-100%, U: below 70%.
Cheating will not be tolerated and will result in an F. The Mathematics De-
partment does not assign the F grade in any course. If a student wishes an F
be assigned, then the student must request the grade, in writing, on the day
of the final exam. The attendance requirements specified in the syllabus must
be observed for a student to be eligible for the letter grade option.

Hi all,
We have a couple of LTIs that are available from the user navigation (under the user profile) and one that is also available from the global nav on the far left. I understand from Canvas that I cannot add global navigation items to the mobile app as I do in the desktop model but I thought perhaps the user navigation LTIs would be displayed somewhere within the student app. Do these LTIs show up anywhere on mobile?
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide!

Apoptosis, A Double-Edge Sword!
Author + information

- Derek M. Yellon, DSc∗ (d.yellon{at}ucl.ac.uk)

We read with interest the paper by Weil et al. (1), which has also been editorialized by Jaffe (2) and Amgalan et al. (3). In this paper, a single brief episode of 10-min myocardial ischemia and 24-h reperfusion was shown to increase serum cardiac troponin I, with transient regional apoptosis of single dispersed cardiomyocytes being proposed as a potential mechanism. We would like to put the focus on the link between such short periods of ischemia/reperfusion, the apoptotic process, and cardioprotection.
Ischemic pre-conditioning (IPC), whereby transient episodes of ischemia and reperfusion (IR) protect the myocardium from prolonged IR injury, is the most powerful cardioprotective therapy known and has become the paradigm for cardioprotection (4). The IPC infarct size-limiting effect is mediated through the recruitment of pro-survival signaling cascades at the early reperfusion phase, known as the reperfusion injury salvage kinase pathway, which encompasses the activation of 2 parallel kinases: PI3K and ERK. The activation of this pathway has been extrapolated to most cardioprotective interventions, and is hence considered a unifying signaling pattern for cardioprotection.
The reperfusion injury salvage kinase pathway was first described by our group in 2002 while assessing the mechanisms underlying the cardioprotective effect induced by urocortin at reperfusion (5). At that time, pro-apoptotic proteins were the object of study to develop new targets against IR injury after the realization that apoptosis may play an important role in early reperfusion. The interest focused on 2 main areas: 1) reducing cell death through the inhibition of pro-apoptotic caspases (6); and 2) antagonizing the apoptotic process through the activation of pro-survival protein kinases, such as PI3K and ERK (7).
We believe that the results reported by Weil et al. (1) further strengthen our understanding of cell death. The increase in troponin levels following a short protocol of IR injury (IPC-like) has been justified by the increased 6-fold regional apoptosis when compared with the nonischemic tissue. The activation of the apoptotic process should be put alongside the well recognized activation of pro-survival pathways following a short protocol of IR injury. Therefore, it seems that both pro-apoptotic and pro-survival pathways are activated after such a stimulus, maybe as a counter-regulatory process. Despite it seeming contradictory, we would speculate that this is exactly what may happen. If the stimulus is left for longer, apoptosis contributes alongside necrosis to the final infarct size (8), whereas if left only for a shorter period, the IR injury actually leaves a "footprint," i.e., a memory in the form of activated pro-survival pathways to protect the heart when a prolonged injury comes later. Maybe it is time to take apoptotic death more seriously during early reperfusion!

Away-from-home tissue and hygiene remained highly dynamic in 2018, as tourist demand remained very strong in Portugal. Internal and external tourist demand continued to beat records, supported by numerous awards as "best destination" in several categories.
As a result of rising tourist and domestic demand, AFH toilet paper, napkins and tablecloths registered the best current value growth in 2018. AFH toilet paper is used across different industries, including railway stations, airports, hotels and foodservice, and also benefited from the decline in unemployment; it therefore saw the strongest growth in AFH tissue and hygiene in 2018, and higher growth compared with 2017 and with the review period CAGR.
With the rapid ageing of the Portuguese population and increasing urbanisation, dependent elderly people are a growing concern for families, who are less available to take care of them. The opening of new nursing homes in the public sector, but especially in the private sector, enhanced the performance of AFH adult incontinence.
Renova - Fábrica de Papel do Almonda strongly benefited from the dynamism of consumer foodservice, as it is one of the best-positioned companies, not only due to its national coverage and good quality image, but also due to its constant innovation and availability of a premium offer. Despite the strong competition from unbranded and private label products in the AFH channel, in which price has high importance, the rise of more luxury and high standard hotels and lodging boosted sales of well-known brands and companies such as Renova, but also Tork and Kimberley-Clark Professional.
As in away-from-home the purchaser is not the final user, brands are constantly searching for additional ways of differentiating, besides price. The dispensers for toilet paper, hand towels and napkins are gaining relevance to communicate with customers, but also to premiumise the offer and differentiate from competitors.
Despite an insufficient offer of public and semi-public nursing homes, private investment is also insufficient, with very fragmented provision and a limited number of facilities. This led to the emergence of illegal nursing homes.
