What a night it was! On November 17, 2017, over 175 people attended After Hours @ The Library, where they met popular authors, listened to live music, and enjoyed delicious food supplied by local restaurants and caterers. The After Hours raffle and, new this year, silent auction, created quite a stir as attendees purchased tickets and placed their bids in hopes of winning one of the terrific prizes worth thousands of dollars. An incredible 40 local businesses generously donated all of the prizes, showing their support of Waterloo Public Library.
Thanks to the support of attendees, prize donors and sponsors, we raised over $8500. These funds will be used to purchase technology-related items to be used in our free programs.
In 2016, over 37,000 people of all ages attended programs at Waterloo Public Library. We are proud to be able to offer members of our community the opportunity to learn and experience new technologies, free of charge, that they might otherwise not have the opportunity to try.
Thank you to our guest authors Andrew Pyper, Donna Marie Pye, Carrie Snyder and Ian Hamilton, and to our media partner, The Waterloo Region Record. Special thanks to our food station sponsors e.v.o. kitchen, Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria, Little Mushroom Catering, Just Love Pie, Winnie's Gluten-free Kitchen and Bhima's Warung.

The little dude is ready to take the test for his yellow belt in taekwondo already, and we had to help him fill out the application for testing. Because of the emphasis on self-discipline (thanks, Mir, for that pointer), there were various questions about behavior and expectations. The final question for the parents to answer was, "How has your child been behaving differently since beginning to study taekwondo?"
SwingDaddy leaned over and whispered, "He's yelling in Korean all the time now."
And it's true. The whole class counts their movements out loud, and since taekwondo is a Korean martial art, they're hollering in Korean. Of course, the problem is that 1) Q-ster doesn't speak Korean, 2) he's learning the words by hearing them yelled by a room full of kids in an echo-y space, and 3) most of them aren't Korean either.
Basically, he's shouting "ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT" all day long at home, but it sounds like he's speaking in tongues, because it's not very distinct and we don't know enough about the language (yet) to help clean it up.
We had one of my Scandinavian colleagues over for dinner a few weeks ago, and first he entertained Buster by building a marble run to the micro dude's very exacting specifications, and then apparently, Q-ster made an appearance to show off his new moves. When I came back into the living room after putting the potatoes in the oven, I was completely confused, discovering this big European dude and my little Chinese American son chanting, loudly and unintelligibly together.
Eventually, we figured out that our guest had taken taekwondo as a teen, so he was counting along with Q-ster in Korean. Right. It's certainly a melting pot of a world these days.

I'm guessing they don't work on pronunciation a lot? ..much the same happened to me with Japanese numbers when I was taking karate. Later I tried counting to someone who actually knew the language, and she couldn't stop laughing.
I took karate for years. So I can count to 10 very badly in Japanese, and I know the words for "kick" and "punch". Sadly, this has yet to serve me in life outside of karate, but there were other benefits to studying martial arts, for sure.

TV horror show ends pig ban
20 September 2000
TV horror show ends pig ban
By FWi staff
SWINE fever restrictions imposed on a farm without the disease have been lifted after footage of dying and overcrowded pigs were shown on television.
Neville Kemp, who farms at East Harling, Norfolk, was forced to keep pigs in his garage because of restrictions designed to prevent the disease spreading.
Although his farm has not had an outbreak of the disease, it is in one of several movement restriction zones imposed around infected units in East Anglia.
Mr Kemp said about 8350 pigs are being kept on his holding which was designed to hold about 7000. About 300 piglets are being born every week.
Pneumonia is killing up to 20% of the weaner pigs despite attempts to convert every spare building on the farm into suitable accommodation.
But the restrictions were lifted after footage of the overcrowded conditions was shown on a BBC regional news programme on Tuesday (19 September).
Mr Kemp said his pigs had been cleared to enter the Intervention Boards welfare scheme and 1,500 animals would be submitted as soon as possible.
But the National Pig Association has warned other pig farmers that adopting similar tactics to get restrictions may fall foul of the law if not done properly.
Government restrictions limit the number of people – including television crews – allowed on farms in areas where swine fever controls are in place.
"The government is in a position to prosecute pig farmers who try to expose the current [animal] welfare crisis," according to the NPA website.
The "best advice, perhaps, to those who want to show what is going on, is to borrow a camera from visiting media and take the pictures themselves."

Travel Accommodation: Serviced Apartments vs Hotels
Hotels provide the convenience that many travelers need. The facilities they offer are the same as the comforts these travelers have at home, while also experiencing the vacation amenities only hotels can give. But if the traveler requires a broader space, or a rather more affordable accommodation, serviced apartments could be an ideal choice.
Serviced apartments provide the same comforts and benefits hotels do, but without the drawbacks of hotel living. They are more comfy because they're more spacious. They have extra rooms like a kitchen and more bedrooms that hotel rooms typically do not have. These additional rooms allow you to cook your own food or have separate rooms for youngsters and parents if you're travelling as a family. In addition, most serviced apartments have laundry rooms where you can wash your clothes during extended periods of stay.
There are specific times where a serviced apartment would be preferred over ordinary hotel accommodation. Some of these scenarios include the following:
Longer stays: Serviced apartments are good for when a family is relocating or a businessman is creating a new project in a different city. If your home is being renovated, it can be better to stay in an apartment to remove yourself from the noise and dust. Staying in serviced apartments would also save the traveler lots of money by preparing their own meals rather than buying food from cafes.
Travels with family: Business travels with youngsters can truly be exasperating, as they may divert you from vital work. But with serviced apartments, your children can stay in one room with their toys while you've got the rest of the place to do your work.
Travels with family with special needs. Travelling with the older people or a person with a disability is far easier in a serviced apartment because it's got more amenities than a hotel room.

Certain cardiac arrest patients in East Baton Rouge Parish may have a better chance of survival now that Emergency Medical Services is offering a treatment called therapeutic hypothermia.
When conducting the treatment, paramedics decrease the body's temperature to between 90 and 93 degrees Fahrenheit using ice-cold saline water, said EMS spokesman Mark Olson.
Lower temperatures slow the body down, preventing it from going into a hyperactive state, which can cause damage and hinder survival, Olson said.
Therapeutic hypothermia "preserves function by not causing more damage," said Dr. John Jones, co-medical director for EMS and emergency room director for Baton Rouge General Mid-City and Bluebonnet.
The treatment is "significant" and has "has certainly shown promise," Jones said.
A recent article in an American Heart Association journal described a study in which therapeutic hypothermia was conducted on 140 cardiac arrest patients, Jones said.
More than half of those patients survived and were released from the hospital, Jones said. Almost all who were released were "mostly functionally intact," he said.
Olson said EMS started therapeutic hypothermia in April and has conducted the treatment on six patients. Of those, four left the hospital with little to no neurological damage, he said.
"It's very effective," Olson said. "It saves lives and it preserves people's brain cells."
To be eligible for the treatment, a patient must meet certain requirements, including being at least 16 years old and having a return of spontaneous circulation, Olson said.
Patients who undergo the treatment will be in a cooled state for about 24 hours or until consciousness has returned, Jones said.
Keeping a person's body temperature below the 98.6-degree average for much longer doesn't do much good and could possibly cause damage, he said.
In East Baton Rouge Parish, EMS will start the cooling process on patients it handles while medical personnel at hospitals will complete the treatment, Jones said.
Jones said Baton Rouge General started using therapeutic hypothermia late last year and has conducted the procedure on about 20 patients.
Kelly Zimmerman, spokeswoman for Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, said the hospital started performing the treatment in April and found it "very successful."
"It's increased the chance of survival and reduced the chances of disability after cardiac arrest," she said.
Amy Delaney, a spokeswoman for Ochsner Medical Center, said the medical center has had the ability to conduct the treatment since the beginning of the year but hasn't had a patient that meets the criteria for it.
Dr. Chuck Burnell, lead medical director of Acadian Ambulance, said his company does therapeutic hypothermia in New Orleans and San Antonio but not in East Baton Rouge Parish.
"At this point in time, the research does not support induced hypothermia use in the pre-hospital transport setting," Burnell said. "Its utility has been proven in the hospital environment when much more sophisticated cooling techniques can be administered to the patient."
Olson said EMS decided to start using therapeutic hypothermia after the American Heart Association began recommending the treatment in its guidelines for emergency cardiovascular care.
The treatment requires little to no training, is cheap to administer and causes little to no side effects, Olson said. Shivering is the most common side effect and it usually can be controlled with drugs, he said.

With so many people coming online to look for ways to supplement and even replace their incomes, the need for free MLM training is bigger than ever. Many are struggling with the current and prolonged economic climate and those that are willing to do something about it can find sites like www.mlmtrainingforfree.com out there that are designed to help newbie network marketers learn effective marketing skills.
Free MLM Training For All
While the free mlm training provided by this new training site IS free, free isn't always "better." So does the site hold up, is the information informative and valuable? While being a bit subjective, since I am the creator of the free mlm training program and site, I would have to say that my goal is to make it so. I will tell you that the free mlm training provided on this site is now and forever going to be free. Other than my previously stated goal, I have another one and that is to irritate those that say that they have free systems or that they have free training only to charge on the back end somehow. Hmm, not to free.

JUDGE EXTENDS VOTER REGISTRATION DEADLINE: The rising role of lower federal courts in deciding voting law challenges has been mentioned by Gavel Grab, and now a federal district judge in Florida has decided a different type of voting issue: He extended until Oct. 18 a deadline for people to register to vote because of the harm caused by Hurricane Matthew.
District Judge Mark E. Walker agreed on Wednesday to the extension, according to CNN. "We'll now be able to make up for lost time and help register people whose lives were disrupted by the storm," said Pamela Goodman, president of the League of Women Voters of Florida. "Our goal is to help every Floridian register, vote, and be heard, and we're grateful that the storm did not silence their voices."
SUPREME COURT TO HEAR LAWSUIT AGAINST ASHCROFT: The Washington Post reported, "The Supreme Court on Tuesday said it would consider a long-running lawsuit against former attorney general John D. Ashcroft and other top officials filed by immigrants who say they were racially profiled and illegally detained after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks."
Does racial bias trump jury room secrecy? The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Tuesday in Pena-Rodriguez v. Colorado, a case that raises the issue. Lawyers for a defendant in a sexual assault trial contend his rights to an impartial jury were violated after one juror told two others, "I think he did it because he's Mexican and Mexican men take whatever they want." You can learn more from a Reuters article or from a blog of our sister organization, Alliance for Justice.
DOING THE MATH ON THE GARLAND NOMINATION: ThinkProgress has come up with a new way of doing the math on the long-stalled nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court. It reported, "15 Republican senators openly oppose [Donald] Trump. 14 are blocking a Supreme Court nominee for him anyway."
With one seat vacant, meanwhile, the "justices are chugging along in the slow lane," according to The Economist. A Chicago Sun-Times editorial documented the "harm of [the] short-handed court," and said it "hobbles along."

The season for Ohio and Illinois grown peaches is finally here and we're bringing the very best of the orchards right to you everyday at Heinen's. This summer, after back-to-back years of sparse availability due to severely cold winters and frost damage, the resilient mid-west peach crop is once again thriving thanks to a mild winter and recent stretches of warm days and abundant sunshine.
We carefully source our peaches through long-standing relationships with trusted family farmers, many of whom bring generations of experience in growing premium fruit. We can safely say that our local peach supply is truly the top-of-the-crop. Learn more about the farms and farmers that bring us this amazing locally grown stonefruit.
We Know Our Sources
Eckert Orchards
-Belleville, Illinois
For over 120 years the Eckert Family has been proudly harvesting premium fruit from trees rooted in the Illinois soil where they've been thriving for more than a century. Proud of their heritage and diligent stewards of the land, the Eckert family has cultivated and preserved their pristine orchards for seven generations. Today, with the sixth and seventh generations of the Eckert Family at the helm, Eckert's Orchards are producing top quality fruit with unmatched taste. Look for Eckert's peaches in our Chicago, Illinois area stores.
Peace Valley Orchards
-Rogers, Ohio
In 1948, Daniel J. Simmons, his wife Anna and three sons Dan, Don and Ralph purchased and began farming a 117 acre fruit orchard in Rogers, Ohio. The family worked tirelessly for many years in order to bring the orchard into growing order and haven't looked back. Since those days, the orchards have more than doubled in size to include over 300 acres of fruit trees including and produce some of the best tasting Ohio peaches available anywhere. The orchards are maintained and watched over to this day by the third generation of the Simmons family with the same goal in mind, growing responsible and great tasting fruit right here in Ohio. Available in our Cleveland, Ohio area stores.
Choose the Perfect Peach
Our local tree-ripened peaches are ready to enjoy and great for summertime pies, cobblers, shortcakes or eating right out of your hand. Here are some tips for picking the perfect peaches and keeping them nice and ripe for maximum enjoyment.
Look for peaches that are slightly firm and plump and yield ever-so-slightly to gentle pressure. The blush of the peach is a great indicator of the variety of peach, but not necessarily an indicator of its ripening status. Tree-ripened peaches often require additional ripening after they leave our stores to increase their softness and juiciness. To perfectly ripen your peaches, place the fruit in a paper bag and set a room temperature for 1 – 3 days.
Peaches that haven't been allowed to fully ripen shouldn't be stored in the refrigerator as this will inhibit ripening and cause the fruit to become dry, mealy, and flavorless. Ripen the fruit at room temperature and then refrigerated for up to 5 to 7 days.

Nancy Crowell, born November 24, 1931 was a Librarian, and like all librarians she knew where anything could be located. Fiction is on the main floor. You left your coffee on the mantle. Your shoes are where you left them. Murder Mysteries - She could locate every title.
She was first located in Evanston Illinois, where she attended Evanston Township High School. Later she studied at Knox College.
She located Herb Hahm in a model A Ford, the two married in November 1952 and relocated to Lake Bluff, then relocated again when the draft took Herb to El Paso, Texas to launch rockets for the US Army. While she was in Texas, Nancy gave birth to her first daughter, Rebecca, on February 16, 1956.
After his army service Herb, Nancy, Becky and their Great Dane, Fawn, returned to Lake Bluff, adding William July 4, 1957 and Gretchen April 3, 1959 to their home on Prospect Ave. Two blocks from the beach, on summer mornings Nancy could wake up, put on her swimsuit and be in at the beach with her children in minutes.
Life suddenly changed in 1966 when Herb was killed in an automobile accident and Nancy had to raise her three children by herself. Attending a high school reunion in 1969 she was re-acquainted with an old '49er classmate, Curt Crowell. She took him out the night of the moon landing, and never returned him. She married Curt April 24, 1970 at her parents Ridge Ave. house in Evanston.
The family expanded again, as her fourth child Webster was born April 24, 1972. The family moved four blocks to Maple Avenue, into a Webster Tomlinson house large enough to contain four children and a small menagerie of pets, including a family crow, Joe. And the architect provided a name for her fourth child.
Nancy and Curt eventually retired to Green Oaks and Nancy enjoyed travel, grandchildren, and a ferocious habit of collecting, although she rarely acquired books; for those she insisted, you go to a library.
Nancy died Monday November 6, 2017 at Lake Forest Hospital after a long battle with COPD. She was 85.
Nancy is survived by her husband Walter Curtis, her sons Web of Seattle, WA and Bill (Lori) of Bloomington, IL; grandsons Jesse (Claire) and Trevor; her daughters Becky Blanchard (Steve) of Brier, WA; granddaughter Monica (James) & grandson David; Gretchen Taylor (Ted) of Edmonds, WA; grandson Zachary (Maryam); great-grandson Anderson and granddaughter Sara.
A Memorial Gathering is planned for Saturday November 18, 2017 from 3:00 until 5:00PM at McMurrough Funeral Chapel, 101 Park Place, Libertyville. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the COPD foundation www.copdfoundation.org. Funeral information (847) 362-2626. Please sign the guestbook at libertyvillefuneralhome.com

For more information about the class action lawsuit filed against Total Renal Care please contact Attorney Nicholas De Blouw at (866) 771-7099
San Francisco, California (PRWEB) April 26, 2016
The San Francisco employment law lawyers at Blumenthal, Nordrehaug and Bhowmik filed a proposed class action Complaint against Total Renal care, Inc. ("Renal") for allegedly failing to provide their hourly California employees with the legally required meal and rest periods.

The brain only occupies 2% of the total human body matter but needs more than 20% of its oxygen. The disparity in the two figures is due to the fact that the brain is a very important part of the body. Research has only scratched the surface on the potential of the brain and the humans are barely there –they only use a portion of the brain matter. However, over the years medical practitioners have been able to use hypnosis in various treatments especially matters pertaining to the mind. The concept is the use of psychotherapy to achieve a total renewal of the body through the access of the mind.
Hypnotherapy weight loss Sydney has a backing of few medical practitioners albeit with its controversy. The proponents agree that the success in other forms of weight loss techniques can also be reciprocated through the same procedure. Far from the controversy involving this process some doctors still use it in weight loss procedures. Hypnosis gets the patient in a trance state and may not be overly linked with therapeutic purposes. When hypnosis finally takes shape over the patient they are expected to behave in a way they feel, behave incongruent with reality. Hypnosis should be confused with over imaginative idea found in arts and movie; it is not about mind control since patients are suppose to consent to be taken through the process.
Hypnosis has been used for health and well being purposes but also with other conditions such as addiction to cigarettes and drugs, help to alleviate phobias, relieves headaches and anxieties. The process of hypnosis is used in subsequent steps in order to achieve the best results in weight loss. On the first day the hypnotherapy session will be focused on exploring the mind of the patient to curb cravings. Most people have a guilty pleasure food that is responsible for weight gain, it should be curbed.
On the second day of hypnosis, the focused will be on how to help the patient stop eating emotionally, many people who are overweight eat emotionally. Emotional eating is heightened by the stress, boredom, loneliness et cetera. The process of hypnosis through various techniques will help patients to be able to fight the urges to eat emotionally. The third day welcomes the hypnosis technique of helping a patient stop mindless eating. Once again overweight people are easily pulled into eating mindlessly, thus they are helped to overcome that too. The fourth day will be all about building motivation, the overweight nature may make a patient feel embarrassed about exercises which is then tackled through hypnosis.
A weight loss retreat that is all encompassing will involve the various traditional techniques or supplement through hypnotherapy. On the fifth day the psychotherapy will be focused on self sabotage, the mind does affect how overweight people view themselves. So the hypnosis helps them to stop the self sabotage that is detrimental to weight loss. On the sixth day it will be all about supercharging the patient to fell empowered about losing weight. Self esteem plays a crucial role in motivating a patient to get into a program so as to lose weight. Finally, the last step is all about taking stock of all the achievements you have made in the first few days. The confidence by now should be an all time high and thus a patient will be supercharged to share, feel and consequently lose weight more confidently.

The idea behind this 'series' is that once every two weeks another year will be brought into attention, starting with 1963 and moving onward chronologically. One and only one album will be selected and written about from each year, the criteria being a mix of personal preference and historical relevance. If you stumble upon this article by any chance and end up not clicking the 'x' button in disgust, keep in mind that I would love to hear your choice for the respective year – from a simple comment stating the album's name, to detailed analysis that will destroy my argument and make me reconsider my reasoning. Remember, one of the main reasons I'm doing this is to get a better perspective of what albums I've missed out on, from each period of time.
Today's Pick: The Band – The Band
There is that moment that I think we've all experienced at some point when, upon discovering a famous band that you haven't heard before, you ask yourself "Why the hell didn't I listen to this earlier?". You've probably always known about their existence, you may have even heard a song here and there, but somehow never could be bothered to fully dive into their discography. Until now. And at the moment, they're blowing your mind and you can't stop listening to them.
That exact thing happened to me with The Band. And in a way, I can understand my passive attitude towards them over the years. The Beatles were my gateway into music, as I'm sure was the case for many people. Then it's only natural to move onto other artists labeled as (the annoying) "classic rock" such as Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and so on. After that, maybe dig deeper into the lost-treasures of the 60's and give Love, The Zombies, Velvet Underground or Jefferson Airplane a try. Maybe add a bit of punk, some metal or a smidge of grunge. The point is, The Band never get mentioned in the same breath as those bands, at least not here in Romania. At best, the choruses of 'The Weight' and 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down' will ring a bell for some, or Dylan-geeks will be at least aware of their existence. At worst, you'll get a confused look when mentioning them. Or, at even worse worst, people will think of them as "just another boring country group".
What it has to do with, I think, is their image. Listeners as well as reviewers refer to their second album in particular as the 'quintessential American album'. It is true that many of the themes addressed through the lyrics deal with the American (often rural) life, as well historical events. It is also perfectly true that sonically this album combines country, folk and americana resulting in a backwards-looking vibe. But the inspirations behind the songs and the final result are two completely different matters – don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the 'quintessential American album' tag is in any way undeserved, I just feel this album is much more than that. This is music that transcends everything – there is such a huge amount of universal emotion packed into these tunes that still rings true today, so many effective instrumental touches that can teach those who abuse virtuosity in music a lesson, such heartfelt vocal performances backed-up by rugged, inviting harmonies that one can't help but connect with, regardless of being able to relate to the subject matters or not.
I do not know the exact reason for choosing a name such as The Band, but the first thing that I associate it with is just how tight the group is as a whole on this record. Although Robbie Robertson writes or co-writes all of the 12 songs, each member gets his time in the spotlight at one point or another. There's a lot of instrument-switching, and showing-off is abandoned in favor of blending each member's contribution together. They truly sound like a band, with every member indispensable and with the sum of them all being greater than the individual parts.
Plenty of words have been written about the influence of this record and its predecessor, about how they presented themselves as the wise, experienced, down-on-earth antidote to psychedelia's excesses. Just ask Eric Clapton, the man who supposedly quit Cream in order to adopt a more Band-influenced approach towards song-writing after hearing the albums. Or just ask the hundreds of bands they influenced and continue to influence. I want to highlight those last few words in particular, because I feel 'The Band' as an album still sounds relevant today, despite being so perfectly characteristic of the direction it shifted music during the late 60's. It somehow is both of its time and timeless. And there are not many albums that can claim to that.

Right. Let's cut straight through the usual design firm bulls&%@
Here's what the other firms hate to admit. Website "development" is a waste of money for all but a few businesses.
Back in the good old days websites took lots of custom coding, designing and were generally hard work. Then WordPress came along, it's currently running 17% of the websites on the internet and it's only gaining market share. It's a complete solution for most businesses to get online and doing business. It's so easy you could do it yourself; many do. But that would take you, at a guess, 2 weeks to learn the ins and outs and get something functional. Explode can do it in about 10 hours.
We charge on average $400 + GST for most of the new websites we setup. Chances are two weeks of your time is worth more than that. Also minimising the setup cost, means you'll have plenty of budget left to do the much more important work: Getting your message clear, and in front of purchasers.
Also there's no need to spend heaps getting it looking the way you want. That's taken care of by WordPress Themes, simply find one you like and then customize it to suit your brand. Please make sure you choose one that's responsive (so that it looks good on mobile).
Now that said, if you're after more you might be interested in our Sales Robots, custom built artificially intelligent business running software.

text: Hayleigh Breeze was a brand new artist who came to me with dreams of producing a dance single, with her song "Lovesick Circle". I helped her with refining the hook (although she wrote all the lyrics) we figured out a cool bridge together, and WHAM-BAM…instant hit. She was aiming for that new school house/dance sound ala "Rather Be" by Clean Bandit featuring Jess Glynne. I produced the track for Hayleigh Breeze, and I think it came off very well. Super high energy, and perfect dance pop. That's the Hayleigh Breeze sound. Enjoy!

The Evolution of 3D Secure
Applying New Techniques to an Existing Technology Can Boost Antifraud Effectiveness
By Karisse Hendrick, Editor-at-Large, CardNotPresent.com
Online-fraud prevention is a continually moving target. As fraud tools become more sophisticated, fraud tactics and attacks also evolve to find undiscovered vulnerabilities and ways to continue to profit from using stolen credit-card data. While the main focus of a fraud strategy is to protect the bottom-line by canceling fraudulent orders before they result in chargebacks and lost product, there is little guarantee that all those orders would result in chargebacks if not canceled. Companies must ask themselves if they would rather risk more loss for the sake of potential sales, or risk sales for the sake of preventing fraud.
But some companies have found a way to reduce fraud and increase top-line sales. By combining 3D Secure (3DS) with Big Data and what issuers call risk-based authentication (RBA) merchants are able to have more confidence in a transaction and reduce the amount of orders they cancel post-authorization. MasterCard SecureCode and Verified by Visa have been in existence for more than a decade. When these products first launched, however, they were considered difficult for consumers to use and the cause of a high amount of shopping-cart abandonment.
Originally, 3DS asked consumers to enter a bank-supplied password for every enrolled transaction before it could be completed. Consumers were not well educated about the system and, therefore, unprepared for it when making a purchases at participating online businesses. As a result, adoption of 3DS was limited. Since then, however, card brands and issuers along with providers that enable merchants to process 3D Secure messages have worked together to make major changes to this system.
Merchants and issuers now can choose which transactions require the consumer to enter a password, significantly lowering the friction to customers enrolled in the program. Beyond this upgrade, many issuers now are using RBA along with 3DS protocols that allow the issuer to use its history of the consumer's behavior and Big Data analytics to make more educated decisions when authorizing a transaction. It also allows a merchant using 3DS to send additional information about the order to be verified against the issuer's history with the consumer, such as IP address, device ID, mobile phone number, e-mail address, etc. This exchange of information allows an issuer to add more data to their consumer profile while gaining more trust in the merchant's abilities to spot fraud.
"3D Secure with rules-based authentication provides more intelligence than 3D Secure on its own, and allows the merchant to be more in control of the sale, enabling merchants to increase sales while also decreasing fraud," says Michael Roche, vice president of Consumer Authentication at CardinalCommerce, a technology provider that leans on a decade of accumulated data about consumers and issuer behavior to help merchants select which transactions they will run through 3DS.
Visa and MasterCard see so much potential in 3DS they have incentivized merchants and issuers to participate in the program. Every transaction processed through the 3DS protocols is guaranteed against being charged back to the merchant. Along with that liability shift, there is also a significant discount on interchange, ranging from 12 to 59 basis points for every 3DS transaction. CardinalCommerce says it sees an average savings of 19 basis points across all merchants, which also includes a mix of transactions across both card brands and some transactions that were not run through 3DS. Merchants that run their transactions through 3DS can reap these benefits, said Roche, even if they never allow a transaction to be challenged and initiate with issuers who do not participate in 3DS.
Using a strategy to initiate 3DS and RBA at the beginning of its fraud screening process has allowed passenger-train operator Amtrak to be more confident in a bank's decision to authorize or decline a transaction, especially knowing the issuer will accept the fraud liability for that transaction.
"By being strategic in where we initiate 3D Secure in the transactions process, we have seen a large decrease in the orders we were declining due to a suspicion of fraud," says Rick Ziolkowski, program director of Card Security for Amtrak. "This has led to a significant increase in card acceptance, with no risk of those orders turning into fraud chargebacks."
The system allows them to be selective about which cards go through enhanced authentication with 3DS, but should an issuer have a track record of high cart abandonment or challenging a significant number of transactions, Amtrak can run them through their legacy systems, to ensure a quality customer experience while still preventing fraud.
"We have seen a sea change in the evolution of fraud prevention," Ziolkowski adds. "First generation tools like AVS (Address Verification System), CVV2 and others that have been used in the past cause high friction. Customer input errors created a high error rate in declining orders we assumed were fraud. 3D Secure has allowed Amtrak to relax these legacy rules where we now have protection. 3D Secure presents this legacy data to the issuer during authentication, and incorporates additional risk-based authentication data captured during the customer checkout session. The issuer has a deeper relationship with our shared customer by seeing all of their purchase activity across their payment history. We see this as a common sense approach to allow the issuer to make the more accurate decision, and with the liability shift, it's really a no-brainer."
CardinalCommerce still advises merchants to layer their fraud-prevention tools, and to continue to use a fraud-prevention case management or rules-based system instead of relying solely on their system. The company says the product's best use case is at the beginning of a transaction to leverage the issuer's information with the added security of the liability shift, and to use a standard fraud tool to decision transactions that the issuer does not feel confident in.
"We don't see our product as being used in place of a traditional merchant fraud tool, but as an added layer of protection against fraud," says Tara LaVelle, vice president of Marketing at Cardinal. "Just like you wouldn't want to drive a car without both a seatbelt and airbags."
Using a layered approach leveraging 3DS, merchants can reduce fraud and chargeback losses, decrease interchange processing fees and make fewer unnecessary declines while being selective in how transactions will be routed, for an optimal customer experience. With more governments around the world mandating 3DSecure to secure transactions and reduce the volume of fraud in specific markets, more merchants are getting beyond the stigma of this product to mitigate fraud while increasing revenue.

I am exploring the world of digitized art and have jumped right in with both feet. I'm not sure if I am swimming yet but I haven't drowned! I share a snippet of my journey and the things you need to start digitizing your art. Come join me.
I'm a day late in posting and I apologise. I have an excuse though. I have been crushing over the lovely work of Lisa Glanz. She has inspired me to diversify my art into the digital world. According to Lisa's bio on her website, she is an illustrator and surface pattern designer. She has the most beautiful watercolor illustrations that skip into your imagination and easily come alive! Not only is she a talented artist, she is a generous one too. Check out Lisa's freebies page!
Initially, I had completely and utterly rejected the thought of making my art available online for others to manipulate. There was a sense of selfish ownership of my art where the final product is what I had envisioned and had painted on the paper. However, the more I considered and enjoyed Lisa's beautiful art, the more I struggled with the questions of "Why not?" I continued this internal struggle until I couldn't put up a strong reason for not digitizing my art. In fact, it become clear to me that providing art for other people's creative projects was totally in line with the reason why I paint and create. Connecting people through art and craft. By providing the artistic base for other creatives would take my art into higher levels and into places I could never have imagined. So, decision was made. Here I am. Venturing into the world of digitized art.
So this is what I have learnt so far and the equipment you will need to digitized your art: (I apologize for the geek speak. I enjoy geeking out on technology)
This is a given. But don't frustrate yourself working with a slow machine because you will be working at high resolution, large files and your poor old computer (which was good enough for browsing, emailing and doing basic photo editing) may not be able to cope.
Good flat bed scanner
Scanners come in many varieties but there are essentially two types: CCD (Charged-coupled Device) and CIS (Contact Image Sensor). You want a CCD scanner as the CCD image sensor is what is found in digital cameras. It provides for clearer scans of your art work. AND if you haven't bought a new scanner in years but have upgraded your computer OS (say to Windows 7 or to El-Capitan on the Mac) don't forget to make sure that your scanner is at the right "bit". I had to ditch my perfectly working scanner because there were no drivers to support the scanner talking with my new operating system.
Photo editing software
The industry standard is Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. However, if you are just dipping your toes in just for a taste and Photoshop is cost prohibitive, there are other free/cheaper alternatives such as Canva, Pixlr, Picmonkey and GIMP.
Photo editing software know-how
You will have to learn how to use your chosen photo editing software. You will need to be able to scanned images of its paper texture, resize images and save the files into various different file formats for others to use. I have found that the internet, especially Youtube, to be particularly helpful with free tutorials. However, if you are want something more formal. There are lessons in Skillshare and other websites like that. Your local college probably also offers night classes. I have yet to find a easy way of cleaning up my paper texture. I've tried most methods mentioned on the internet but most result in a loss of sharpness in the image. So if you are reading this and know of a way, do let me know!
Selling platform
Once you are ready with your digitized art, you want to share it with others so find yourself a selling or sharing platform. This could be your very own website or an online marketplace like Creative Market and Etsy.
I can't wait to share my art in a different format and see where other creatives take it to. I am just about ready to launch my handpainted digitized art in my Styled by Adelyn makes shop on Creative Market and on Etsy. Watch this space!
Can't wait,

a special request
Way back in October of 1983 a Libyan man named Elamari Magdud was brutally murdered in Portland Oregon. The man was my student's uncle. His family has been able to get very little information about the crime other than the fact that two ladies found him in the north area of Portland, apparently he had been beaten and probably hit on the head with a heavy object. This information was given to the family by the Portland Police Records Manager who also said they believed that they had found persons who had information about the killing or who might have killed him, but at least one of the men was already being sent to jail for committing another crime. No names were given to the family and nothing was ever done to prosecute anyone for the crime.
The body was sent back to Libya for burial and according to my student the casket was sealed but the family opened it and found the man had severe trauma to his head. [On the original post I had written that the family found the victim had gunshot wounds, but my student has since stated that according to his mother the victim had severe head trauma and his mother wanted me to change the post to state this.]
My student asked me what could be done - the family wants some kind of closure, even though the crime was comitted over 20 years ago the mystery remains and it's hard for the family to feel at rest. I tried to look up the information on the internet and can find nothing. So I thought I would mention it here on my blog. Maybe someone reading this might have some more information or ideas about what can be done.

Lustful dentist fires "irresistibly attractive" worker, OK by Iowa Supreme Court
Tuesday, July 16th, 2013
In January, we detailed the case of Melissa Nelson, a long-time worker in the dental office of James Knight, DDS. After Knight turned 50, Nelson said he became lewd. Knight's wife and pastor told him to fire Nelson because of the temptation her attractiveness caused for Knight. He followed the advice.
Nelson sued, not for sexual harassment, but for gender discrimination. The dentist was supported by the courts, both trial and appeals, by granting summary judgement in his favor. They threw the case out. In the July 12, 2013 Iowa Supreme Court ruling, they made it clear that since sexual favoritism need not be based on illegal forms of discrimination, neither should unfavorability (page 8 in the Court's decision). The Supreme Court affirmed the prior appeals court decision. Knight was allowed to legally terminate her on the basis of her beauty as he perceived it!
Read our prior coverage of this case.

A national seminar at India's College of Military Engineering concluded on Thursday after the speakers and participants discussed chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats and responses.
The seminar, titled "Creating Expectations and Delivering Promises," was organized into four theme-based sessions on the first two days. The third day focused on a multi-dimensional CBRN threat and a self-assessment of the response mechanism, Indian Express reports.
The second day of the seminar on Wednesday included a tabletop exercise to assess the current preparedness levels of stakeholders. The three-hour workshop utilized active participation from representatives such as government agencies. Wednesday also featured the charting of a CBRN defense strategy presented by the Center for Air Power Studies and the Defense Research and Development Organization.
Speakers at the conference discussed the need to prepare for a Fukushima-like disaster in a developing country like India. The Army is gearing up to operate in a contaminated environment, but the speakers said that the threat to the civilian population remains a challenge that must be planned for effectively.
The CME received praise from the participants at the end of the three-day program.
The College of Military Engineering is an Indian center for CBRN training that has trained the military branches of the country for the last 30 years, Indian Express reports.

Fellow Fauquier Republican,
My name is Peter Popovich. I have lived in Fauquier County for 29 years, I have been a Republican all my life and I am running to chair the Fauquier County Republican Committee. I am writing to ask for your support.
So why am I running and what differences can I make? I have been on the committee for almost two years and I would have to say that although it is a very nice group of people, the committee is not led or motivated to really advance the Republican Party in Fauquier. Hardly anyone in the community even knows that the committee exists! The committee is very small (about 60) and has been purposely kept small to make it easier for a few to control.
Virginia is not reliably Republican anymore. This year the winner of Virginia will likely be the President. Republicans get beat because the Democrats are more organized, better motivated, and much better at grass-roots campaigning. We can learn from them. Under the existing leadership, our committee has no activity to organize precincts and there is no effort to get Republicans registered to vote, to keep them regularly informed, and to motivate them. It takes organizational skills, and a leader with the talent to gather and energize good folks who are concerned about the direction of our great country. It takes someone who is willing to do the hard work to find good people to step up and get involved as a team. I commit to you to begin that task immediately, with a joyful spirit, as we move forward.
In my time on the committee, I have not seen a single charity fund raiser. This needs to change. I have also not seen a committee organized phone bank, or any "get-out-the-vote" campaign. Candidates have worked hard but not the committee. This needs to change as well, and you have my commitment to bring energy and new ideas, grow the numbers on the committee, and increase the awareness of the community to both our existence and our ideas as we expand. The committee should be actively helping in local, state and national elections. There must be a "technology" committee with responsibility to set up ways to get out the vote that is not being utilized today. There are systems available that permit contacting voters easily. I commit to you that these systems will be implemented should you put your faith in me on April 2nd
The Republican Party of Virginia has insisted, through the efforts of key individuals on my team, that our committees have the ability to be enlarged this year. The current leadership has tried to keep that number to 83 voting members to no avail. (See more on this at http://CornerstoneSUSA.org/elections/ ) There will be 187 voting members on the committee after the election with a total number of 213 member seats available. We have recruited a large number of people to run for the committee and are working hard to get them all elected. Our candidates are full of energy and just waiting to get a chance to help turn things around.
In my 30 years at IBM, I was always known as a team builder and that is what I want to do for Republicans in Fauquier County. And I want us to be a key part of the overall Virginia team that wins Virginia for Republicans in November and beyond. I commit to you to insure our team will quickly come together after this committee election – current and new members – to form an effective, very visible, and energized team that enthusiastically works to win every time we compete.
Please make plans to spend just an hour of your time this coming Saturday, April 2nd from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM to help me further Conservatism here in Fauquier County. There are two polling locations for your convenience, The Warrenton Community Center, 430 E Shirley Ave in Warrenton and the Remington Lions Club 11326 James Madison Hwy in Bealeton.
Stop by the "Fauquier Cornerstone Committee" table to get our sample ballot.
And remember to bring Valid Identification!
I have attached the Editorial from the March 23rd Fauquier Times about the election. Please take a couple of minutes to read it; it is very informative.
I hope to have the privilege of meeting you on April 2nd!
Peter Popovich, Broad Run

Epic Systems founder and CEO Judy Faulkner is No. 6 on the 2017 Forbes list of richest self-made women, logging a $2.5 billion net worth.
Faulkner built the electronic healthcare record company from scratch, starting in a Madison, Wis. basement in 1979 with a $70,000 investment. The company moved to its current location in Verona, Wis. in 2005.
[Also: Epic CEO Judy Faulkner opens up about why she's talking to reporters these days]
Today, she employs more 9,500 people on a sprawling and ever so artsy and whimsical campus. Among the many theme-park-like features are a slide to get from one section of the building to another and a also what appears to be a "stairway to heaven."
All the quirky campus touches aside, Faulkner runs a very serious enterprise, supplying multi-million dollar EHR systems to some of the most prestigious healthcare organizations in the country. Among them are Kaiser Permanente, Cleveland Clinic, UPMC and Partners HealthCare.
[Also: Epic reveals R&D spending outstrips Apple, Google and its competitors]
Faulkner has pledged to give away her fortune via the "Giving Pledge," a promise also made by billionaires Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, among others.
On this most recent Forbes list, Faulkner is listed a few notches down from fellow Madison, Wis. self-made woman Diane Hendricks, who took the No. 2 slot, with a net worth of $4.9 billion. Apparently, there's more money to be made in roofing than in EHRs. Oprah took the No. 3 spot.
However, Faulkner placed well ahead of celebrities such as Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand, Beyoncé, Madonna and Judge Judy.
