text: LONDON/MADRID - A huge cyberattack brought disruption to Britain's health system on Friday and infected many Spanish companies with malicious software, and security researchers said a dozen other countries may be affected.Hospitals and doctors' surgeries in parts of England were forced to turn away patients and cancel appointments. People in affected areas were being advised to seek medical care only in emergencies."We are experiencing a major IT disruption and there are delays at all of our hospitals," said the Barts Health group, which manages major London hospitals. Routine appointments had been canceled and ambulances were being diverted to neighboring hospitals.console.log("BODY2. CatId is:"+catID);if(catID==120){console.log("BODY.

They identified the type of malware as 'Wanna Cry', also known as 'Wanna Decryptor'.A Telefonica spokesman said a window appeared on screens of infected computers that demanded payment with the digital currency bitcoin in order to regain access to files.In Spain, the attacks did not disrupt the provision of services or networks operations of the victims, the government said in a statement. Still, the news prompted security teams at large financial services firms and businesses around the world to review their plans for defending against ransomware attacks, according to executives with private cyber security firms. A spokeswoman for Portugal Telecom said: "We were the target of an attack, like what is happening in all of Europe, a large scale-attack, but none of our services were affected."British based cyber researcher Chris Doman of AlienVault said the ransomware "looks to be targeting a wide range of countries," with preliminary evidence of infections from 14 countries so far, also including Russia, Indonesia and Ukraine.PM BRIEFEDA spokesman for British Prime Minister Theresa May said she was being kept informed of the incident, which came less than four weeks before a parliamentary election in which national security and the management of the state-run National Health Service (NHS) are important campaign themes.Authorities in Britain have been braced for possible cyberattacks in the run-up to the vote, as happened during last year's US election and on the eve of this month's presidential vote in France.But those attacks - blamed on Russia, which has repeatedly denied them - followed a entirely different modus operandi involving penetrating the accounts of individuals and political organizations and then releasing hacked material online.The full extent of Friday's disruption in Britain remained unclear."This attack was not specifically targeted at the NHS and is affecting organizations from across a range of sectors," NHS Digital, the computer arm of the health service, said in a statement. Britain's National Cyber Security Centre, part of the GCHQ spy agency, said it was aware of a cyber incident and was working with NHS Digital and the police to investigate.A reporter from the Health Service Journal said the attack had affected X-ray imaging systems, pathology test results, phone systems and patient administration systems.Although cyber extortion cases have been rising for several years, they have to date affected small-to-mid sized organizations, disrupting services provided by hospitals, police departments, public transportation systems and utilities in the United States and Europe."Seeing a large telco like Telefonica get hit is going to get everybody worried. Now ransomware is affecting larger companies with more sophisticated security operations," Chris Wysopal, chief technology officer with cyber security firm Veracode, said.The news is also likely to embolden cyber extortionists when selecting targets, Chris Camacho, chief strategy officer with cyber intelligence firm Flashpoint, said."Now that the cyber criminals know they can hit the big guys, they will start to target big corporations. And some of them may not be well prepared for such attacks," Camacho said. In Spain, some big firms took pre-emptive steps to thwart ransomware attacks following a warning from Spain's National Cryptology Centre of "a massive ransomware attack."Iberdrola and Gas Natural, along with Vodafone's unit in Spain, asked staff to turn off computers or cut off internet access in case they had been compromised, representatives from the firms said.It was not immediately clear how many Spanish organizations had been compromised by the attacks, if any critical services had been interrupted or whether victims had paid cyber criminals to regain access to their networks.

Sometimes a messy room and a hair oil date is all you need to find true love
Wedding Photography & Films - Apr 22, 2020
Working together on a project saw Aparna and Abhishek get acquainted properly for the first time. Over time, their friendship turned into love, and they decided to tie the knot. Their wedding shoot by WeddingSutra Favorite – Three Little Words was unique due to its location – a bustling vegetable market in Pune.
Aparna shares, "They say opposites attract and the same holds for us. Abhishek is wild, and free-spirited, whereas I, on the other hand, see myself as calm, composed, and passionate. However, when we first met, sparks were bound to fly. It started when we got together for a project, and he dropped me back in the evening. On our way to my home, we were quick to break the ice and started discussing random topics like my braces and his mustache. That's when we realized how much at ease we were with each other."
Abhishek shares how he confessed his feelings for her, "I was spellbound by her charm and feared getting into the friendzone if I didn't confess my feelings. When the time came, I was at a loss of words and spoke gibberish, but she figured what I was trying to say and replied with, 'I know you love me.'"
Talking about their unique wedding shoot concept, Aparna adds, "In addition to covering the wedding, we along with Ashish from Three Little Words, decided to shoot in the vegetables and fruits market at Mahatma Phule Mandai in Pune to add a fun twist to the pictures. Through this concept, we tried to showcased beautifully that a lot can happen in messy corners, and was an ode to our very weird first date for which I gave Abhishek multiple excuses to not meet up. The first time I made up a story of my messy room that I had to clean up and even sent him a fake photo of it which, surprisingly, he believed. The next time I tried to put him off with the typical desi girl excuse of not stepping out because I'd oiled my hair. But Abhishek had a different plan this time around, being the sweet guy that he is and impatient to meet me, he turned up! With oil dripping from his hair as though he had squeezed out a bottle of oil on his head and rushed to see me. A gesture as sweet as his to make me feel most comfortable in front of him was by far one of the sweetest things and turned out to be the weirdest dates we've ever had."
Aparna shares her experience working with the photography team, "I always believe that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, and Ashish from the Three Little Words team saw something appealing amidst the chaos. His approach to the entire process, his calm personality, and articulate planning are the reasons that our big day was encapsulated and preserved uniquely."
Ashish of the Three Little Words shares his take on the quirky photoshoot, "The reason we selected the market was to pay a tribute to the duo's first date. In keeping with Aparna's 'messy room excuse', we decided to go for a messy location which was aesthetically pleasing and had a great variety of textures that would add an interesting element to the shots. It was a completely new experience for all of us and I think Aparna and Abhishek were just as enthusiastic about the concept since they rescheduled their entire wedding to set aside four precious hours for a trip to the market."

- First birthday ends in tragedy when family dog attacks and kills boy (4-28-2012)
The fate of Onion, the dog that killed a Henderson baby in April, is still unclear as lawyers for a group that wants to save it continue to try to get the Nevada Supreme Court to take up the matter.
Meanwhile, the 120-pound, 6-year-old Mastiff/Rhodesian ridgeback is healthy and is being cared for in two connecting cages at the Henderson Animal Control and Care Facility, according to a city police spokesman.
"We're still waiting on a decision from the Nevada Supreme Court," Keith Paul, public information officer for the Henderson Police Department, said Thursday.
Paul declined to comment on documents filed in the Supreme Court that show the court tried to get the case settled in a nonpublic mediation meeting last week, but that meeting was unsuccessful.
Onion was turned over to Henderson animal control officers by its owner, Elizabeth Keller, on April 27 after the dog attacked her grandson, Jeremiah Eskew-Skahan, who was at her home to celebrate his first birthday.
The boy reportedly crawled to the dog and pulled on Onion's fur to stand up, police said. The dog grabbed the boy by his face and began shaking him, police said. The boy died at University Medical Center.
After the tragedy, the city was expected to euthanize Onion, in accordance with its vicious dog ordinance. But a group called the Lexus Project intervened.
The Oceanside, N.Y., nonprofit organization has offered to provide funds to place and care for the dog in an animal sanctuary outside Denver. Lexus filed a motion for a temporary restraining order in Clark County District Court to stop the city from euthanizing the animal.
Judge Joanna Kishner, however, denied Lexus' motion at a hearing in May. In her ruling, Kishner did not determine what action the city should take with the dog but said Lexus had no legal standing because the city now owns the dog.
The judge's ruling eventually led Lexus to file a notice of appeal with the Nevada Supreme Court, along with two other motions to try to keep the city from euthanizing the dog. The city has filed counter motions.
Lexus has submitted documents to the court saying the grandmother didn't know what she was signing when she gave up ownership to the city. Lexus claims that the grandmother wants the animal to go to the Lexus Project, arguing that gives the organization legal standing to petition for the dog, known in court documents as "A Certain Dog Named Onion."
Meanwhile, the latest action in the case was a nonpublic mediation session set up by the Supreme Court that was held last Thursday in the Henderson City Attorney's Office.
But court documents filed Monday by Ara H. Shirinian, the assigned settlement judge, showed that meeting was unproductive. The settlement judge signed a form and checked a box that said, "The parties were unable to agree to a settlement of this matter."
Paul declined to discuss what was discussed in last Thursday's mediation talks. Lawyers for Lexus could not be reached Thursday.
All the motions before the Supreme Court, meanwhile, are pending while the court decides whether to hear the case, Paul said.
Bill Gang, public information officer for the Supreme Court, said if the court decides to take up the matter, it would issue an order establishing a schedule for briefs to be filed with the court.
Gang said he didn't know when that might happen.

Microsoft has ended the benefits of its browsers in the past when it comes to efficiency and battery usage, but with the company itself moving towards a Chromium-based browser, it's no surprise that it is working towards limiting battery drain. The company is proposing a solution for Chromium that it claims will improve battery usage when streaming media content.
The solution, spotted by Windows Latest on a Chromium Gerrit entry posted by the Redmond giant goes over the possibility of reducing battery drain by preventing media content from being cached to the disk on a PC. The explanation states that adding media content to the HTTP cache when streaming media (during the acquisition of media and playback on the device) results in the disk being active, which adversely affects battery life. Another downside to the caching is that the operating system is prevented from entering lower-powered modes that help improve battery life due to the constant usage of the disk.
While the implementation suggestion does not include preventing caching for all streaming content, it does go over the use cases that the change can be applied to. One of the use cases includes content that is played with minimal seeking. The company notes that since the existing implementation allows for most recent content to be held in the memory, scrubbing behind on a video by a few seconds should not be affected. However, for users that seek further behind to a section that is not held in memory, the video will be fetched from the network again.
Microsoft states that it ran local testing by playing back unencrypted 1080p media 5 times for 5 minutes on a laptop with the implementation turned on and off. The results showed that the disk write activity decreased by 309KB/sec when the implementation was turned on. The firm states that the overall change will be a "net positive" in terms of "power consumption for mainline scenarios". The solution also includes the ability to detect when the PC is connected to a power source to disable the prevention of caching.
Only time will tell if this feature would see the light of the day and make it to the Chromium-powered browsers.

For starters, there are a whole host of Call Girls in Karachi. These services include the picking up of a person from any part of the city at a later time. The best and the most sought after are the ones that are committed to pick up girls from a specific location. Karachi is home to many of these "special" escorts as they are located in and around the different areas of the city. The services offered by these escorts in Karachi can be personally supervised by any person who is in charge of security in the location.
Secondly, there are a wide range of Karachi call girls who are available for pick up from and to lead on a date with. As mentioned earlier, Karachi is known to have the highest population of any city in Pakistan. This means that there will be a large number of young girls who belong to the age group of 16-20. Since Karachi is a bustling metropolis, this means that there will be a large number of young people who are willing to experience the thrill and excitement of dating or even married life. The availability of these women, in terms of being karaoke girls, bar girls or simply genuinely hot escorts makes dating in Karachi a fun and an exciting proposition for the man who seeks to experience it.
Karachi as a city is well educated and has a large number of literati. These literati people, who belong to the lower economic group, are well educated and have some amount of money which they regularly invest in liquid cash so that they can purchase good quality things. Therefore, the presence of educated VIP Call Girls in Karachi or even bar girls in the locality becomes a blessing in disguise. Not only will the man who wants to date a young lady from this part of town to find her attractive, but he will also be able to purchase the necessary things needed in order to keep his expensive car clean.
A man looking to date a sexy Call Girls Escorts in Karachi should not think of going to the cinema for a screening of a movie. Rather, he can opt for a screening of a stage drama. Karachi is home to two professional theatre companies as well as a film festival of various categories. In addition to seeing a film at the cinema, the man seeking a date with a sexy girl from Karachi can choose to view a stage play instead. The most interesting part about watching a stage play is that the male escort, who is probably professional stage actress, will accompany the lady throughout the play.
The men who wish to avail the services of Karachi hot escorts and those seeking for ways to cheat their partners should look towards the internet. There are numerous sites on the internet where one can interact with both foreign and local girls seeking dates. One of the best features of a site offering online services for Karachi women is that the users do not need to pay anything. All that the person needs to do is to make a profile which includes her name along with her photographs. After this, she can start interacting with other members. On making new friends, one can easily browse through the available profiles and choose to make new ones or simply continue chatting with the other girls.
The men who wish to have an affair with a lady who is located in Karachi must understand that it is important for them to dress well. The cosmopolitan life in Pakistan demands that people dress in a way that suits both themselves and the woman they are going out with. For example, a conservative Pakistani woman will wear salwar kameez with churidar or lehenga while a western woman will prefer to wear jeans or skirts. Thus, when it comes to dressing for a Karachi Escorts should ensure that he dresses according to the culture of the region. One can also make sure to bring along some makeup as the Pakistani woman will most likely want to look good.
Most of the hot escorts in Karachi are young women who have just started working in the city. A man who wishes to seek romance with one of these stunning escorts should keep in mind that this is not a simple relationship. A successful relationship with a local woman requires close contact and numerous times of interaction. This is because the woman living in Pakistan is used to men making advances on her only on certain occasions. Therefore, a successful relationship with a Karachi girl requires regular meetings and dates.

Billing is never an enjoyable process. For anyone. On average, 40 percent of small businesses are 60-plus days delinquent on at least a third of their receivables – and unclear or incorrect invoices can certainly be at fault.
In the medical field, reports say that upward of 80% of invoices are overcharging patients. To ensure you're not making errors and overcharging your patients, keep in mind the following tips (or share these tips with them and build further trust):
1. Double charging:
Whether you refer to it has double charging or duplicate billing, this error occurs when patients are billed more than once. Human error is the most common example, say, through a doctor and nurse not fully communicating to each other that a particular medication was given – thus a bill could be incurred when the medication was prescribed and administered.
Another common example is billing multiple "first days" in a hospital, which often cost more than subsequent days during a hospital stay. Patients should always carefully read through invoices, as double charging is the most common reason for unexpectedly higher medical bills. To combat this issue, insure your patients receive an itemized bill, making it easier to spot duplicate charges.
2. Upcoding or mismatched codes:
Upcoding occurs when a medical billing code is improperly changed to one which represents a more severe diagnosis or treatment. While the most common occurrences include things like coding a regular checkup as inpatient care or coding for name-brand versus generic medication, the error of upcoding is still a serious offense. To your patients, it's basically like getting billed for an expensive bottle of Advil instead generic Acetemenophin….but much worse. And highly illegal. Patients should ask their healthcare providers to correct the charge immediately.
Mismatched codes are another similar error. When a medical bill upcodes your diagnosis, but a patient's treatment code is left alone, the insurance company will typically reject the patient's claim due to the mismatch between the treatment and diagnosis codes. This is a double whammy; not only will a patient's bill be more expensive, but the claim will also get rejected.
3. Unbundling:
Unbundling is the separation of charges that are normally charged under the same billing code. Instead of receiving a package rate for, say, multiple tests of the same code, patients who experience unbundling on their medical bill can often pay multiples of their original bill. This type of mistake can be tricky to identify, and patients who experience unbundling should reach out to the National Correct Coding Initiative by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for further advice on arguing the charges.
4. Incorrect quantity:
This mistake could be as simple as an extra "0" placed at the end of a number. Patients should carefully check quantity to make sure they weren't charged extra for an incorrect amount of items or medications. Talk about a headache for the patient.
5. Incorrect info:
Another of the most common billing errors are simple misspellings and misprints, including incorrect names or policy numbers. Claim denials or being bill for a full amount can occur because of a simple incorrect insurance ID number. Talk about a headache.
The main reason these errors occur are because of how many hands influence a medical bill – sometimes up to a dozen people have something to do with it. One mistake entering incorrect information can be passed down the line just like the childhood "telephone" game, causing severe problems when a patient's claim is submitted to their insurance company.
6. Balance billing:
Balance billing occurs when a health care provider bills the patient for charges other than co-pays or any other amount than what was negotiated with the insurance company. Balance billing is most common when a patient is treated "out-of-network" for non-emergency care, as doctors can set the rate to charge the patient and bill them for anything over the agreed amount.
Patients should check with their insurance company about whether or not all of the hospital's charges are covered under their policy. If they are, then this balance bill is illegal, and patients should not have to pay for it.
7. Overcharge time:
After undergoing a procedure, patients should check medical records to confirm how long they were in the operating room or under anesthesia. Patients are usually billed in 15-minute increments, therefore, mistakes can add up quickly.
8. Canceled procedures:
Patients can sometimes accidentally be charged for a test or procedure that ended up being canceled. They should make sure this doesn't happen by carefully reviewing their itemized medical bill. If a patient thinks they were wrongfully over-billed, they should collect all the necessary documents to prove they did not receive the service, thus disputing the charge.

The Royal Court Theatre is a non-commercial theatre on Sloane Square, in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London, England. It is noted for its contributions to modern theatre. In 1956 it was acquired by and is home to a resident company, the English Stage Company.
The first theatre
The first theatre on Lower George Street, off Sloane Square, was the converted Nonconformist Ranelagh Chapel, opened as a theatre in 1870 under the name The New Chelsea Theatre. Marie Litton became its manager in 1871, hiring Walter Emden to remodel the interior, and it was renamed the Court Theatre.[1]
Several of W. S. Gilbert's early plays were staged here, including Randall's Thumb, Creatures of Impulse (with music by Alberto Randegger), Great Expectations (adapted from the Dickens novel), and On Guard (all in 1871); The Happy Land (1873, with Gilbert Abbott à Beckett; Gilbert's most controversial play); The Wedding March, translated from Un Chapeau de Paille d'Italie by Eugène Marin Labiche (1873); The Blue-Legged Lady, translated from La Dame aux Jambes d'Azur by Labiche and Marc-Michel (1874); and Broken Hearts (1875). By 1878, management of the theatre was shared by John Hare and W. H. Kendal.[2]
Further alterations were made in 1882 by Alexander Peebles, after which its capacity was 728 (including stalls and boxes, dress circle and balcony, amphitheatre, and gallery).[3] After that, Arthur Cecil (who had joined the theatre's company in 1881) was co-manager of the theatre with John Clayton.[4] Among other works, they produced a series of Arthur Wing Pinero's farces, including The Rector, The Magistrate (1885), The Schoolmistress (1886), and Dandy Dick (1887), among others.[5] The theatre closed on 22 July 1887 and was demolished.[6]
The current theatre: 1888–1952
The present building was built on the east side of Sloane Square, replacing the earlier building, and opened on 24 September 1888 as the New Court Theatre. Designed by Walter Emden and Bertie Crewe, it is constructed of fine red brick, moulded brick, and a stone facade in free Italianate style. Originally the theatre had a capacity of 841 in the stalls, dress circle, amphitheatre, and a gallery.
Cecil and Clayton yielded management of the theatre to Mrs. John Wood and Arthur Chudleigh in 1887, although Cecil continued acting in their company (and others) until 1895.[4] The first production in the new building was a play by Sydney Grundy titled Mamma, starring Mrs. John Wood and John Hare, with Arthur Cecil and Eric Lewis.[7]
Harley Granville-Barker managed the theatre for the first few years of the 20th century, and George Bernard Shaw's plays were produced at the Royal Court for a period. It ceased to be used as a theatre in 1932 but was used as a cinema from 1935 to 1940, until World War II bomb damage closed it.[8]
The English Stage Company
The interior was reconstructed by Robert Cromie, and the number of seats was reduced to under 500. The theatre re-opened in 1952.[9] George Devine was appointed artistic director at the suggestion of Oscar Lewenstein, one of the other two co-founders of the English Stage Company. The ESC opened at the Royal Court in 1956 as a subsidised theatre producing new British and foreign plays, together with some classical revivals.[10] Devine aimed to create a writers' theatre, seeking to discover new writers and produce serious contemporary works. Devine produced the new company's third production in 1956, John Osborne's Look Back in Anger, a play by one of the angry young men. The director was Tony Richardson. Osborne followed Look Back In Anger with The Entertainer, with Laurence Olivier in the lead as Archie Rice, a play the actor effectively commissioned from the playwright. Significantly, although it was quickly reversed, the artistic board of the ESC initially rejected the play. Two members of the board were in agreement in opposing The Entertainer. The Conservative Christian verse dramatist Ronald Duncan, the third co-founder of the ESC, disliked the work of Osborne according to Osborne biographer John Heilpern,[11][12] while Lewenstein, a former Communist,[13] did not want one of the theatre's new plays to be overwhelmed by its star and did not think much of the play.[11]
In the mid-1960s, the ESC became involved in issues of censorship. Their premiere productions of Osborne's A Patriot for Me and Saved by Edward Bond (both 1965) necessitated the theatre turning itself into a 'private members club' to circumvent the Lord Chamberlain, formally responsible for the licensing of plays until the Theatres Act 1968. The succès de scandale of the two plays helped to bring about the abolition of theatre censorship in the UK. During the period of Devine's directorship, besides Osborne and Bond, the Royal Court premiered works by Arnold Wesker, John Arden, Ann Jellicoe and N.F. Simpson. Subsequent Artistic Directors of the Royal Court premiered work by Christopher Hampton, Athol Fugard, Howard Brenton, Caryl Churchill, Hanif Kureishi, Sarah Daniels, Timberlake Wertenbaker, Martin Crimp, Sarah Kane, Mark Ravenhill, Martin McDonagh, Simon Stephens, Leo Butler, Polly Stenham and Nick Payne. Early seasons included new international plays by Bertolt Brecht, Eugène Ionesco, Samuel Beckett, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Marguerite Duras. In addition to the 400-seat proscenium arch Theatre Downstairs, the much smaller studio Theatre Upstairs was opened in 1969, at the time a 63-seat facility.[8][14] The Rocky Horror Show premiered there in 1973. The theatre was Grade II listed in June 1972.[15]
Though the main auditorium and the façade were attractive, the remainder of the building provided poor facilities for both audience and performers, and the stalls and understage often flooded throughout the 20th century. By the early 1990s, the theatre had deteriorated dangerously and was threatened with closure in 1995. The Royal Court received a grant of £16.2 million from the National Lottery and the Arts Council for redevelopment, and beginning in 1996, under the artistic directorship of Stephen Daldry, it was completely rebuilt, except for the façade and the intimate auditorium. The architects for this were Haworth Tompkins. The theatre reopened in February 2000, with the 380-seat Jerwood Theatre Downstairs, and the 85-seat studio theatre, now the Jerwood Theatre Upstairs. Since 1994, a new generation of playwrights debuting at the theatre has included Joe Penhall, Sarah Kane, Mark Ravenhill, Roy Williams amongst others. Since the 1990s, the Royal Court has placed an emphasis on the development and production of international plays. By 1993, the British Council had begun its support of the International Residency programme (which started in 1989 as the Royal Court International Summer School), and more recently the Genesis Foundation has also supported the production of international plays. The theatre received a 1999 International Theatre Institute award.[16] In May 2008 The English Stage Company presented The Ugly One by Marius von Mayenburg at the "Contact International Theatre Festival" in Poland.[17]
Artistic Directors have included Ian Rickson (1998–2006), Max Stafford-Clark, Stuart Burge, Robert Kidd, Nicholas Wright, Lindsay Anderson, Anthony Page, and William Gaskill.[18] From 2007 to 2012, the theatre's Artistic Director was Dominic Cooke and the deputy artistic director was Jeremy Herrin. Vicky Featherstone, the first female artistic director, previously founding head of the National Theatre of Scotland, replaced Cooke as Artistic Director in April 2013.[19][20]
Controversy over Seven Jewish Children
Caryl Churchill's play Seven Jewish Children opened at the theatre in February 2009. Many Jewish leaders and journalists have criticised Seven Jewish Children as antisemitic,[21][22][23][24] contending that it violates the rule that "a play that is critical of, and entirely populated by, characters from one community, can be defended only if it is written by a member of that community".[25] Further, Associate Director Ramin Gray has been accused of hypocrisy, as he is reported to have stated that he would be reluctant to stage a play critical of Islam.[26][27]
Michael Billington in The Guardian described the play as "a heartfelt lamentation for the future generations".[28] The paper contended that the play, though controversial, is not antisemitic,[29] yet Seven Jewish Children was viewed by another Guardian writer as historically inaccurate and harshly critical of Jews.[30] Jonathan Hoffman, co-vice chairman of the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland, called the play "a libellous and despicable demonisation of Israeli parents and grandparents" and expressed fear that it would "stoke the fires of antisemitism". He added that the play is a modern blood libel drawing on old anti-Semitic myths.[21] Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic Monthly also calls the play a blood libel.[22] Columnist Melanie Phillips wrote that the play is "an open vilification of the Jewish people... drawing upon an atavistic hatred of the Jews" and called it "Open incitement to hatred".[21] The New York Times wrote that the play "at times paints heartless images of Israelis."[23]
In reply, the Royal Court issued the following statement:
Some concerns have been raised that the Royal Court's production of Seven Jewish Children, by Caryl Churchill is anti-Semitic. We categorically reject that accusation.... While Seven Jewish Children is undoubtedly critical of the policies of the state of Israel, there is no suggestion that this should be read as a criticism of Jewish people.... In keeping with its philosophy, the Royal Court Theatre presents a multiplicity of viewpoints. The Stone, which is currently running... asks very difficult questions about the refusal of some modern Germans to accept their ancestors' complicity in Nazi atrocities. Shades, currently in our smaller studio theatre... explores issues of tolerance in the [London] Muslim community.[27]

Change Coming Soon
While my concern about vehicle-into-building crashes remains strong, I've hit a point in life where I need to make some changes — including wrapping up the StorefrontCrashes.com project and taking off my Council co-founder hat.
I have truly cherished your attention and feedback since I launched this blog after my own accident recovery several years ago. Knowing that the information here has aided attorneys representing crash victims and provided some businesses with tips on how to protect their storefront from vehicle collisions has also been rewarding.
Likewise, I've been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to team up with Rob Reiter in launching the Storefront Safety Council LinkedIn group (he has near-singlehandedly sustained it with regular postings) and in collaborating on articles for industry publications.
Speaking of articles, we have one coming out in NAIOP's Development Magazine on March 17, which I'll cover in a new post here on that date. Rob also appears to have the editor of an insurance industry magazine interested in an article from us, due in May, so I will post about that as well down the road.
Why did I pick the end of June for my official wrap-up date? Because I turn 57 then (God willing). I was 51 when I got hit. One of the biggest lessons that experience taught me: we're never guaranteed another birthday, so make the most of the time we're given.
Every year, many lives end, or are profoundly changed, because of the flaws in our built environment that leave people exposed to errant drivers and moving vehicles. I'm not giving up on searching for prevention and protection strategies. But I am changing my approach.
Thanks again for your continued interest.

The thing about camping? When the weather gets too hot, or too cold, or too whatever, you move. As nice as the weather was at McDowell, it was getting on the warm side so we decided to head back to Sedona, part Duh. If doing something once is great, then doing it twice is greatuh.
We went back to our previously visited forest service road to see if we could get our same camping site, but some rat bastard already had it. What was he thinking? Did he not know that we might be back some day? The nerve.
Fear not. We cruised down the road a few miles, kicking up our respective dirt, rocks and dust, and there appeared a site almost as nice, with arguably a better view. When I say not as nice, in this case we could actually see a neighbor! Lord save us.
You have to understand Sedona a little bit. There is a lot of karma. You may find a vortex or two. We received from strangers a couple of hearts that were designed to give us positive energy. So we have that going for us. Gunga galunga.
While in Sedona we found another hike that looked interesting to us (out of the hundreds of possibilities), called the Boynton Canyon Trail. This was a little over 6 miles round trip (up and back through the canyon – not a loop).
For the entire hike you are surrounded 360 degrees with beautiful vistas, although the first half-mile or so you hike along the edge of a resort. Not awful, as it is obviously a beautiful resort, but you wish it wasn't there. But once you clear the resort, it is 2.5 miles up this absolutely gorgeous trail.
It doesn't feel like you are the desert – it feels like a hike through NH, ME or maybe Colorado. Trees and views are the distinguishing characteristics, with a mix of pines, firs and hardwoods such as oak. While the first half-mile is in the sun, the middle 5 miles are largely in the shade of the trees or the canyon itself, which results in a temperature drop of 15-20 degrees; absolutely great hiking temps. In fact, we had to navigate snow and ice on the trail at certain parts up into the canyon.
After a nice day hiking and back at our campsite we were treated to a full moon (blood moon) rising over the mountains in our direct view – just beautiful, although the pictures do not reflect the beauty.
But alas, we cannot stay here forever as we have plans to visit Tucson and see friends. So we left Sedona and decided to camp one night on the way at Pichacho Peak SP; more on that in a bit.
On the way to Pichacho we decided to stop in Phoenix and have lunch at Pizza Bianco, which is an absolutely unbelievable "pizza joint". A meal here would be worth a trip to Phoenix. Period. It's that good. Because we were in downtown Phoenix and parking a 60 foot long rig is not ideal, Karen had to sherp a few blocks to the restaurant for food to go while I waited with the trailer and Rosie in a sand parking lot adjacent to the University of Arizona. Lunch in the trailer – not so bad!
After arriving at Pichacho Peak SP one of the other campers (a fellow Airstreamer) described the hike up Pichacho Peak. If I remember correctly, I think he used the word daunting. With sharp elevation gain and guide wires to keep you from falling to certain death, this hike sounded intriguing. Not. I may save this hike for another time. Or another life. Or both. If you look closely at the picture of Pichacho Peak, you can see me not in the picture.
Pichacho Peak State Park is nice enough, and probably good enough for an overnight or perhaps two nights. But for us, it was perfect because we just wanted a place to crash on our way to Tucson – for the rodeo, friends, biking and hiking.

Many people assume that plastic surgery is a magical procedure that gives excellent blepharoplasty results straight after one gets up from a surgery table. However, this assumption is wrong and hence such people may be disappointed when they realize that they would have to wait for the results to show up. Since healing is a gradual process, you will have to go through all the stages until you can enjoy your beautiful new looks.
After eyelid surgery
You will have to follow your doctor's instructions on how to behave after surgery. Your doctor will probably apply some ointment and a bandage straight after eyelid surgery is done. You may feel some discomfort and your eyelids will probably feel sore but this can be perfectly controlled with any pain killers. You should be aware that there will be some bruising and swelling which, depending on an individual case, may last from two weeks to a month. In order to make bruising disappear faster you will be advised to use cold applications and to keep your head elevated until bruising and swelling are reduced.
Other changes after eyelid surgery may include itchiness of your eyes and this could be controlled with administration of artificial teardrops. You may also experience a blurred or double vision for some time after surgery and your eyes might be hypersensitive to light. This should not worry you since this is considered a normal process of recovery.
You should come for a regular check-up for a week or two after blepharoplasty . Stitches may be removed within a week post-operatively and you should then start looking and feeling better. Be aware that you will not be able to wear contact lenses for about two weeks but ask your doctor when it is time to wear them. After a few days after surgery you will probably be able to read or watch TV. Your eyelids may look worse for the first week after surgery but many people return to their normal lives and jobs within a week or ten days after surgery. If your healing process goes smoothly, you might be able to hide bruising under make-up.
Although eyelid surgery is a minimal cosmetic procedure , there are still some precautions for you to take post-operatively. These include sunglasses to protect from sun and wind and application of a specific sun block used for eyelids. You should also avoid physical activity for the first week and hard exercise should be avoided for at least three weeks after surgery. You should particularly avoid weight-lifting, bending and other sports that elevate blood pressure. And since alcohol causes fluid retention, you want to avoid it too.
Healing process varies from person to person but what you need to know is that with patience you will be able to achieve long-term or even permanent results. Although incision lines may remain pink for up to six months but they will be barely visible after that. With a qualified surgeon's help and your will to follow all the instructions carefully you will enjoy your bright, youthful look for many years after eyelid surgery.

Inspired by Alessandro Portelli, author of They Say in Harlan County, Kerins' research involved listening to (and reading transcripts of) oral histories from the coal-rich region of Appalachian Kentucky. Kerins focused on the role of women during coal miners' strikes in the 20th century. Kerins was mentored by Sociology professor Joanna Badagliacco.

The diagram below shows an election where 52 voters ranked three
Each voter has indicated his/her preferences, and the "arrow"
on the left is interpreted to mean that 12 voters preferred B
to C, B to A and C to A. This notation can be extended to allow
voters who are indifferent between two or more candidates. (For
simplicity, for most of the discussion below we exclude elections
where voters are indifferent between two or more candidates.)
We can construct a matrix (table) to represent this election as follows: Label the rows and columns of the matrix with the candidates' names. The entry in the row labeled i and the column labeled j is the number of voters who preferred candidate i to candidate j.
The row sums are of interest because they allow one to use the
vote matrix to compute the winner of a popular method of deciding
elections called the Borda Count. In the Borda Count candidates
are given credit in the form of points for how high up on a voter's
preference schedule a candidate appears. The number of points
a candidate would get would be the number of candidates below
him/her on the preference schedule. For example, to compute the
Borda Count for candidate B in the election above, starting with
the preference schedule which received 12 votes, B would get:
12 votes times 2 points + 16 votes times 1 point + 19 votes times
1 point + 5 votes times 2 points =
12(2) + 16(1) + 1(19) + 5(2) = 24 + 16 + 19 +
10 = 69.
Note that this is exactly the row sum of the second (B) row of
the vote matrix.
Given an election, it is simple to compute its vote matrix. However,
given a vote matrix, one can ask the question of whether or not
there is some election which gives rise to the vote matrix. The
problem is: given a vote matrix which is 3x3 with "blank
entries" on the diagonals, give an algorithm (mechanical
procedure) for constructing an election, if one exists, which
has the given matrix as its vote matrix.
1. Consider the same question for matrices which arise from elections
where there are n (rather than 3) candidates.
2. Consider the problem when ties between candidates in the preference
schedules of individual voters are permitted.

Voorafgaand aan What's going on in (R)etailing?! delen sprekers & partners van het congres hun visie, inzichten en onderzoeken op het gebied van retail.
Wat zijn toekomstige trends, welke rol gaat Big Data spelen, wat kunnen we leren van koplopers in de retailsector. Dit keer deelt Jorgen Heizenberg (CTO Big Data & Analytics Capgemini) zijn visie op het gedrag van de huidige consument, de kansen van Big Data en de toekomstige trends in de retailsector.
What is the most interesting development that you are seeing with regards to consumer behavior and customer engagement at the moment?
The most interesting development has to do with relevancy within the context of your engagement. What does that mean? Retailers have more information about their customer than ever before. They can use that information to create new products and services but also to optimize their engagements or contact moments with their customers. However these contacts need to be relevant and can be different depending on where they are in the customer journey. Sometimes it could be about brand, sometimes about conversion and sometimes about loyalty. The context is also important. For example, sending a predictive grocery list while I am in the supermarket and not when I am at the office reading my emails.
Which new innovations in the retail industry are of greatest interest to you and why?
One of the most important innovations in the industry is the change in culture. Most decisions so far have been made on gut feel. Retailers are more and more starting to understand that there is value in their data. And if they use this data in the right way they can increase profits or bring down cost. For example with better procurement and logistics or optimized personal offering and 1:1 marketing, made possible by Big Data & Advanced Analytics or data science.
Big Data & Retail, a successful combination? And what can retailer do with small data?
Big Data is just a term. It often refers to the enormous amount of data that is available today. However a lot of data is not relevant at all. It is just pollution. So it is not so much about volume. It is about finding the right data. Little things, for example shared via social media, that not only tell you about what a customer does (or buys) but what a customer actually thinks about a brand or a product. This is much more interesting.
Which future trends are you keeping an eye on?
Besides the fact that we need to find more relevant and contextual data in an increasing amount of facts, we find that most value is not so much in volume but much more in speed. It is about bringing the data and the analytics to use in an agile way. Time to market is therefore one of the most important future trends. From a technology point of view you are looking at things like streaming data, replication or in memory technology. From a business point of view, it is about understanding your customer in real time.
Why is the 2015 "What's going on in (R)etailing" Congress so important?
With the challenges facing retailers today, knowing and understanding your customers, is more important than ever. Big Data & analytics offer the possibility to recognize your customer, value your customer, create a relationship and from there bring it to the next level. Retailers, more than almost any other industry, have the data to do so. But they are held back by fear of technology and cultural challenges. However, if they don't start using these possibilities today, they might no longer exist tomorrow!
What's going on in (R)etailing?!
Capgemini is op 16 april een van de partners van het congres What's going on in (R)etailing?! in de Passenger Terminal Amsterdam.

Via U.S. Embassy Kampala, March 25, 2015
The U.S Embassy has received information of possible terrorist threats to locations where Westerners, including U.S. citizens, congregate in Kampala, and that an attack may take place soon. Out of an abundance of caution, the U.S. Mission has cancelled some non-essential events scheduled at local hotels in the coming days. U.S. citizens staying or visiting hotels should expect increased security sweeps and delays when entering or exiting hotel areas.

Memorable Manitobans: Henry "Harry" Stephens (1865-1934)
Hotelier, brick manufacturer.
Born at Guelph, Ontario on 11 March 1865, son of James and Susan Stephens, he was educated at the county schools of Ontario. He began a farming career near Wiarton, Ontario then came west in 1889 in the employ of the Lake of the Woods Milling Company, working as a millwright at Keewatin, Ontario until 1898 when he moved to Manitoba. He operated the Stephens Brick Company between 1899 and about 1908, and served as Western Vice-President of the Canadian Brickmakers' Association. During the First World War, he farmed 1100 acres and later ran a dairy farm and raised thoroughbred Holstein cattle. He developed a variety of sweet clover and was the proprietor of the Portage Hotel at Portage la Prairie.
On 24 March 1896, he married Lillian C. Porter at Winnipeg and they had seven children: Bertha Georgina Stephens (1897-?, wife of John Gilbert Bertrand), Arthur Milton Stephens (1900-?), Victor Henry Stephens (1902-?), Albert Lorne Stephens (1904-?), Harold Porter Stephens (1907-1915), Lillian Stephens (1909-1998, wife of Mr. Allison), and Edward James Stephens (1913-1956). He was a member of the AF & AM (32nd degree), Shriners, Elks, Kiwanis, Portage Parks Board, IOOF, Conservative party, Christian Science Church, and Portage Board of Trade.
He died at Portage la Prairie on 27 December 1934.

The unmissable "Voiles du Froid" sailing event took place from 5 to 7 June this year in the sunny waters of the Mediterranean. 19 teams from all over Europe were there to hoist their sails and set a course for Ile des Embiez.
This event brought together more than 150 refrigeration, air conditioning and heating professionals and took place in a warm and sporting atmosphere.
In the summer heat of a Friday afternoon, the sailors savoured the breeze that would carry them to Paul Ricard's island. The first two regattas, Snefcca and Exxon Mobil, revealed a panorama of different landscapes: from the military feel of the Toulon coastline to the rugged charms of Sicié cape. The valiant team from IDS Froid – Paris 1 took the first leg (Snefcca), closely followed by Rolesco and ITE. The second leg (Exxon Mobil) was won by the Dutch sportsmen from Gasco.
At the end of this first day of sport, the sailors set anchor on the coast of Ile des Embiez for a peaceful and colourful sunset. Tradition dictates that on Friday night, everyone shares a little of their cuisine – a simple demonstration of getting to know each other better, with participants sampling others' native produce.
On Saturday morning, the race began again with the Honeywell and GEA legs. Although the wind blew timidly, the teams were more than capable of casting off and sailing. Paris 1 took the lead once again during the Honeywell regatta, and the Bordeaux 3 vessel took the GEA regatta.
After lunch at the mooring, they wasted no time in hitting the water before the Assurfroid dry land regatta. With Paul Ricard's island in sight, the teams met the challenge with selfies, and it was the Nantes vessel that won the race to P'tit Jaune, closely followed by Bordeaux 2 and Paris 1. For the Climalife reception, participants took a break to share a pleasant soft summer evening outdoors, enjoying a dynamic and eclectic concert.
By Sunday morning, it was already time to bid farewell to Embiez and return to La Seyne-sur-Mer and begin the final Climalife leg. With a slightly more benevolent wind, the sailors flexed their muscles and sharpened their reactions once more. It was the Dutch Gasco vessel that took the final leg, followed by Rolesco in 2nd and the Centre boat in 3rd place.
Participants bid their fond farewells at a cocktail party held at La Seyne-sur-Mer port.
This year, the Voiles du Froid Trophy has returned to its native country, won by the Parisian IDS Froid boat.
The 23rd event is already over, but sunny memories of friendliness and sportsmanship remain.
Climalife would like to offer its warmest thanks to event sponsors Assurfroid, Clima+confort, Eurovent Certification Company, Exxon Mobil, Gea Heat Exchangers, Honeywell, ITE, RPF and Snefcca, as well as all the participants for their contribution in making this wonderful event a success.
Overall ranking:1st Paris 1 (IDS Froid) – 2nd Rolesco – 3rd Centre

December 4, 2295
Aboard the U.S.S. Excelsior
"Permission to come aboard?"
"Granted, sir."
Transporter Chief Keyoto Hamilton glanced at him, then quickly looked away. He knows, Captain Hikaru Sulu thought bitterly. Its probably all over Excelsior by now. He left the transporter room without another word and headed straight for his quarters.
He would not be there long.
Fortunately for him, his lover and C.M.O., Doctor Ariel Cord, had office hours in Sickbay at the moment. He didnt think he could face hernot just now. He changed into a chamois-colored civilian softsuit and packed the few things he would need into a large duffel bag. Then he strode to the nearest turbolift.
Sulus mind churned as the lift transported him to the bridge. He had nearly lost it allhis command, his ship. He had most definitely lost the friendship of newly-appointed Fleet Captain Pavel Chekov for going behind his back to Admiral Lystra Davis to complain about Chekovs new post. Just add that to the list of what hed lost the past few years. His daughter Demora, his lover Janet Rachelson. This ship was all he had left, and to hear Davis talk, he didnt deserve to keep her either.
Was C-in-C Lystra Davis right?
His jaw clenched. Theyd called him an asshole. It was among the nicer things they had said. Were they right? Did being forceful and decisive make you an assholeor one of the best captains in Starfleet? He needed time to think. Fortunately, he had laid the groundwork on their return flight to Earth. He had planned to take some leave time even before the unfortunate episode in the commanding admirals office. He was glad now that he had taken such precautions.
The turbolift doors hissed open.
"Captain on the bridge!" Chief Navigator Linda Parker sang out. She flashed a brilliant, fresh-faced smile at him and did not break eye contact. Sulu smiled back, in spite of the way he felt. Well, maybe not everybody has heard yet.
"How did your meeting go?" asked Lieutenant Ryan Peterson, the tactless tactical officer, obviously unaware of the scuttlebutt.
Commander Janice Rand started to rise from the center seat, looking as though she were going to kill Peterson with her bare hands, but Sulu held out a hand.
"As you were, Commander." He cleared his throat. "Some of you may have heard by now that I was less than happy to learn I had been passed over for the position of Fleet Captain. Some of you may also have heard that I voiced my opinion to the C-in-C." He paused, reflexively stiffening his back. "Both Commander-Starfleet Davis and Fleet Captain Chekov have seriously questioned my ability to command this vessel, and I find myself wondering if perhaps they are right."
You can hear the proverbial pin drop, Sulu thought, as a stunned silence settled over the bridge. His gaze swept over them. Rand, Parker, Peterson, all gazed at him in open-mouthed astonishment. Even the insufferable Vulcan science officer, Ensign Tuvok, raised a Spock-like eyebrow in his direction.
"Pursuant to that, I have decided to take a leave of absence of indeterminate length. Until such time as I can determine whether I myself feel that I am fit to command this ship, Commander Janice Rand is Acting Captain of the U.S.S. Excelsior."
Rands mouth worked as she tried to speak. "Captain," she finally managed, "may I ask how long you intend to be away?"
Sulu flashed a brief, wan smile. "I have no idea." And with that, he strode quickly into the port turbolift and disappeared.
"Captain!" Rand called after him.
For a few minutes, no one said anything. What was there to be said anyways? As the captain of Excelsior, Hikaru Sulu had not made a lot of friends. His command staff had never gelled into the sort of unit Starfleet hoped their crews would form. The comradery failed to develop; the friendships were half-hearted. Above all, their captain was little more than a dictator, and few of them liked or admired him.
The bosuns whistle sounded. "Transporter Room to Bridge."
"Bridge. Rand here."
"Uh, Exec? Chief Hamilton here. The captains beamed down to the San Francisco."
"One of the drop tube stations. Looked like he was going on leave."
"Yes, Chief. He was. Thank you."
Rand hurried to the communications console, elbowing aside Lieutenant Janine Howard, who was currently covering the station. She frantically began reading various transmission logs, and messages between the captain and Starfleets personnel office.
"Uh, Im not up to speed on all this," Peterson began, "but, you know, with him being a starship captain and all, is it okay, I mean, is he allowed to do that?"
The executive officer nodded. "Im afraid so, Lieutenant. According to the communications logs, he requested and was granted bereavement leavefor however long he desires. Science Officer?"
Tuvok turned from Science One. "Sir?"
"See if you can track his transponder. I want to know where hes going."
Tuvok cleared his throat. "According to Starfleet regulations, if he is on bereavement leave, what he does is not our concern, and we are to carry on accordingly. Scanning for his location would be a gross breach of etiquette and protocol."
"Then we shall respect his privacy," Rand said, sitting back down at the conn. "Everyoneas you were." She mechanically signed a padd someone thrust at her, outwardly attempting to convey a calm, efficient demeanor.
But inwardly she seethed. Sulu, you son of a bitch! she angrily thought. How could you do this to me?
It was at that moment Janice Rand decided she would submit a request for a transfer to another vessel...any other vessel.
Little did she realize that most of Excelsiors bridge crew had come to the same decision.

How to Grow Short Nails
By Andrew Reinert on May 18, 2010 with Comments 0
Are you having trouble growing your nails due to excessive breakage? Nails can be damaged by various things. Nails that easy break and are short due to lack of strength are sometimes exposed to too much water. Some of the abrasive chemicals found in nail polishes, nail hardeners and nail polish removers can be the cause of nails splitting and breaking. There are ways that can help improve the condition of these nails and allow them healthy growth. Taking a vitamin and learning easy techniques to protect the nail will help you achieve your goal quickly and completely. Be patient with the process of improving the state of your nails. Here are a few tips to help you grow your nails.
Things You'll Need:
- Nail file
- Manicure scissors
- Moisturizing lotion
- Nail clippers
- Supplements
- Nail polish
Step 1
Germs and bacteria collect and grow under nails. This is the most common reason to wash your frequently using warm water and soap. Clean under your nails and rinse hands well. After you wash your hands take every effort to dry them completely and thoroughly. Leaving hands wet is anti productive.
Step 2
Cut your nails after a bath or shower. Nails are soft and easy to manage after bathing. Use the scissors that came with the manicure set to cut your nails, Cut the nail straight and file them. File the nail down and make sure the corners are smooth and slightly rounded so they won't snag clothing or break.
Step 3
Moisturizing the nails are important. They condition the nails making them less susceptible to breakage and splitting. Apply a nourishing lotion to the complete nail. This step should be done every time you remove nail polish. Most polish removers are abrasive. Your nails will need the extra attention.
Step 4
Take precaution when you have a nail break or a hangnail. When caring for hangnails use clippers as opposed to tearing the healthy skin or biting it off which can lead to bacteria entering. Avoid biting the nails for the same reason. When bacteria invades the nail or the healthy tissue is damaged then nail growth can be slowed significantly.
Step 5
Take a multivitamin or supplement to help with your nail growth. Healthy nails start from the inside out. Supplements like Bioton, vitamin C and vitamin A may help improve nails strength and allow your nails to grow healthier.
Step 6
Avoid nail products that may be damaging to your nails and consequently nail growth. Some nail polishes and hardeners contain Toluene, Formaldehyde and Sulfonamide. These substances are known to be irritating to the healthy skin surrounding the nail.
