AdTheorent, Inc., a technology company whose data-driven predictive solutions are transforming digital advertising, today announced significant advancements to its anti-fraud infrastructure, as well as sample performance statistics over a recent 30-day measurement period. Previously launched last year as a mobile-only solution to identify fraud that went undetected by traditional third party anti-fraud solutions, AdTheorent's real-time (pre-bid) detection model is now able to identify fraud across all digital environments, maximizing cross-environment brand safety and ad spend.
Now fully deployed to detect fraud on a cross-environment basis, in a recent 30-day period AdTheorent's anti-fraud infrastructure identified and blocked 70,232,713,950 fraudulent digital impressions. Of those blocked impressions, more than 42 billion derived from non-human or bot behavior (NHT), a frequently cited problem in digital advertising. (Recently, the Association of National Advertisers reported that advertisers will lose an estimated $7.2 billion globally this year as a result of fraudulent impressions, or bots, up $1 billion from last year). During the same period, AdTheorent's anti-fraud infrastructure also blocked nearly 28 billion impressions originating directly from data centers or servers (as opposed to digital devices such as a mobile phone or laptop). Additionally, AdTheorent's infrastructure blocked more than 7 million proxy server impressions, which are impressions whose source of origin is masked.
AdTheorent's Approach:
Tapping its robust data-driven predictive modeling platform, AdTheorent uses statistical analysis techniques to identify anomalies and aberrational behavior impacting publisher inventory. Because 35 billion ad requests come through AdTheorent's systems per day, the Company is able to identify trends across exchanges and identify fraud that other detection solutions don't have the scale or technical capacity to find. This is automated as part of AdTheorent's bidder functionality, which allows the fraud to be detected in real time, enabling the company to react immediately, which is extremely beneficial as fraud evolves quickly and often morphs before many companies can identify it. Removing fraud on a pre-bid basis is especially critical because fraudulent properties are typically high performing properties (high CTRs), designed to yield bids from automated systems which optimize higher performing properties.
"Fraud is a tricky and very fluid activity that is changing constantly and is extremely hard for many tools and systems to identify and keep up with," said Chris Cagle, AdTheorent's EVP of Technology. "The speed at which our big data mining platform processes data, coupled with our scale, allows us to find and eradicate fraud in real time, across all digital environments. We're thrilled that in just a one-month period alone, we have identified and blocked more than 70 billion fraudulent impressions."
Simultaneously, the Company conducts on-going qualitative reviews of web sites and apps within its network, assigning qualitative scores to each property based on property-specific screenings. AdTheorent's qualitative analysis focuses on identifying low value ad impressions that might not be detectable through statistical algorithms, such as sites optimized to take advantage of "mis-clicks," or impressions which do not meet brand safety guidelines In all cases and across all environments, properties and devices identified as suspect and potentially fraudulent are filtered from AdTheorent's inventory before bidding occurs.
AdTheorent's proprietary fraud-detection algorithms are driven by terabytes of data which identify artificial, non-human behaviors and traffic patterns likely driven or directed by bots, as well as traffic whose source of origin is masked using proxy servers. And most important, because ad fraud, like all fraud, is fluid and dynamic in its forms and shapes, the tools and methods needed to identify fraud as it evolves must be equally dynamic and fluid, and must be able to learn from ever-changing data sets.
Said James Lawson, AdTheorent's Managing Partner & Chief Legal Officer, "digital ad fraud is the subject of growing interest, including a recent letter to the FTC by Sens. Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY), but AdTheorent engineers and data scientists have been implementing and refining solutions in market for over a year. We view digital ad fraud as a market inefficiency that we are uniquely equipped to combat. Our ability to do deliver reliable impressions to our clients is a key differentiator for AdTheorent."

Having never been on a (family) safari holiday before we were unsure as to what to expect in terms of both the set up and the wildlife. We shouldn't have doubted anything. This place is something else. We are still buzzing. We stayed 5 nights at the Ukhozi Lodge.
Yes. The animals are there. And it's pretty awesome being a few feet away from lions, elephants and rhinos. But it's equally brilliant seeing some of the less fashionable creatures close up.

List entry Description
Summary of Monument
Platform Barrow near Bostal Hill, 711m south-west of Bopeep Farm.
Reasons for Designation
Platform barrows, funerary monuments dating to the Bronze Age (2000-700 BC), are the rarest of the recognised types of round barrow, with fewer than 50 examples recorded nationally. They occur widely across southern England with a marked concentration in East and West Sussex and can occur either in barrow cemeteries (closely-spaced groups of barrows) or singly. They were constructed as low, flat-topped mounds of earth surrounded by a shallow ditch, occasionally crossed by an entrance causeway. None of the known examples stands higher than 1m above ground level, and most are considerably lower than this. Due to their comparative visual insignificance when compared to the larger types of round barrow, few were explored by 19th century antiquarians. As a result, few platform barrows are disturbed by excavation and, consequently, they remain a poorly understood class of monument. Their importance lies in their potential for illustrating the diversity of beliefs and burial practices in the Bronze Age and, due to their extreme rarity and considerable fragility, all identified platform barrows would normally be considered to be of national importance.
Although it has been reduced in height by agricultural activity, the platform barrow near Bostal Hill, 711m south-west of Bopeep Farm survives well and will contain archaeological information and environmental evidence relating to the barrow and the landscape in which it was constructed. The close association with broadly contemporary and later, early medieval funerary monuments to the west and east, provides evidence for the continuing importance of this area of chalk downland for burial and ceremonial practices over a period of around 3000 years.
See Details.
This record was the subject of a minor enhancement on 3 March 2015. This record has been generated from an "old county number" (OCN) scheduling record. These are monuments that were not reviewed under the Monuments Protection Programme and are some of our oldest designation records.
The monument includes a platform barrow situated to the north-west of Bostal Hill along the northern escarpment of the South Downs between Lewes and Eastbourne. The location provides panoramic views of the Channel coast to the south and the Weald to the north. The barrow has been reduced in height by agricultural activity and survives as slight earthworks and buried archaeological remains. It has a slightly raised, circular level area about 15.5m in diameter and up to 0.6m above the surrounding ground, encircled by a ditch from which material used to construct the barrow was excavated. The ditch has become in-filled over the years but traces are visible around the mound.

As of 1 January 2017, new rules on the indication of origin for certain food products will apply in France, by virtue of a Decree of 19 August 2016 (hereafter referred to as the "Decree"). The Decree concerns the indication of origin of milk, milk as an ingredient in a range of prepacked food products detailed in the Decree, and meat products used as an ingredient in prepacked food products. In respect of meat, the Decree essentially constitutes an extension to transformed food products of the scope of the rules on origin labelling that are already in place for unprocessed bovine, porcine, caprine and ovine meat, as well as poultry.
The mention of the origin will have to appear either in the list of ingredients, right after the name of the concerned ingredient, or in a note below the list of ingredients. The Decree defines the level of detail of the information that needs to be provided. In a nutshell, the aim of the rule is to provide information as to (i) the country where the milk was collected, and of the country where the milk was processed or transformed and (ii) in respect of meat, the country of birth of the animal, the country of breeding and the country of slaughter. Simplified indications are allowed under the Decree where several operations are performed in a same country or within the EU.
Under the French provisions, the C.O.O.L. requirements form an additional mandatory particular that must appear on the packaging of the products that fall under the scope of application of the Decree. In practice, in light of the latest case law of the European Court of Justice (Judgment of 22 September 2016 in Case C-113/15, Breitsamer und Ulrich GmbH & Co. KG v Landeshauptstadt München), this means that the new rules will notably affect, e.g. individual cheese or pâté portions sold as part of pre-prepared meals sold for a fixed price.
Organic products and products covered by a protected designation of origin are exempted from the C.O.O.L. requirements, as the rules applicable to those products already entail strict requirements in respect of the origin of the ingredients that compose such products. The exemption does not, in principle, extend to products with Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). However, the French administration has clarified that in cases where a product that is covered by a PGI that includes origin requirements, then such product can also be exempted from the rules provided for under the Decree. This will however need to be examined and justified on a case-by-case basis.
The new rules are put in place for a test period of 2 years, that will thus expire at the end of the year 2018.
The enactment of specific national measures in respect of country of origin labeling is expressly provided for under Article 39(2) of the FIC Regulation, and the scheme put in place by France is thus founded on a valid legal basis. However, concerns have been expressed that this type of national initiatives might jeopardize the functioning of the single market. What can be stated is that the existence of such national initiatives results from the current absence of a consensus among all Member States on the issue, despite a certain interest of consumers in obtaining more information on the origin of the products they consume.
The new requirements will be evaluated both during and at the end of the trial period, and might pave the way for harmonized rules, taking into account the experience that will have been gathered in the other EU countries that have recently enacted more or less similar C.O.O.L. provisions, among which Italy.

Digital probabilistic physics
Digital probabilistic physics is a branch of digital philosophy which holds that the universe exists as a nondeterministic state machine. The notion of the universe existing as a state machine was first postulated by Konrad Zuse's book Rechnender Raum. Adherents hold that the universe state machine can move between more and less probable states, with the less probable states containing more information. This theory is in contrast to digital physics, which holds that the history of the universe is computable and is deterministically unfolding from initial conditions.
The fundamental tenets of digital probabilistic physics were first explored at great length by Tom Stonier in a series of books which explore the notion of information as existing as a physical phenomenon of the universe. According to Stonier, the arrangement of atoms and molecules which make up physical objects contains information, and high-information objects such as DNA are low-probability physical structures. Within this framework, civilization itself is a low-probability construct maintaining its existence by propagating through communication. Stonier's work has been unique in considering information as existing as a physical phenomenon, being broader than as an application to the domain of telecommunications.
To distinguish the probability of the physical state of the molecules from the probability of the energy distribution of thermodynamics, the term extropy was appropriated to define the probability of the atomic configuration, as opposed to the entropy. Thus, in thermodynamics, a 'coarse-grain' set of partitions is defined which groups together similar microscopically different states and in digital probabilistic physics the specific microscopic state probability is considered alone. The extropy is defined to be the self-information of the Markov chain describing the physical system.
The extropy of a system in bits associated with the Markov chain configuration whose outcome has probability is[citation needed]:
Within this philosophy, the probability of the physical system does not necessarily change with the deterministic flow of energy through the atomic framework, but rather moves into a lesser probability state when the system goes through a bifurcating transition. Examples of this include Bernoulli cell formation, quantum fluctuations in a gravitational field causing gravitational precipitation points, and other systems moving through unstable self-amplifying state transitions.
- The existence of discrete digital states is incompatible with the continuous symmetries such as rotational symmetry, Lorentz symmetry, electroweak symmetry and others. Proponents of digital physics hold that the continuous models are approximations to the underlying discrete nature of the universe.

provide a safe and nourishing base for the spiritual
A woman sits in her dusty, unkempt home, meditating once
again, on love and wealth and earthly success, but in
the back of her mind, all is full of swirling fears and
insecurities because she doesn't know how to pay her
bills. A knock on the door jars her out of the
meditation, makes her angry that her out-of-body
sanctuary has been thus invaded.
Outside there stands a tall old lady dressed in green.
She tells the woman that she was sent by her higher
self, to knock loudly on her door and tell her that the
only way to get what she wants, in the world as well as
in her spiritual quests, is to take care of the
necessities of life first. The green lady hands the
woman a gift - it is a small house plant. "This will not
grow nor live unless you give it water, and sunshine,"
the green lady says, and then she simply vanishes into
thin air.
Astonished, the woman takes the plant inside, and that
very night, she starts the process of cleaning up her
house as the first step to clearing up her world.

Grief doesn't give a sh*t about you and other lessons grief taught me.
"Grief doesn't give a sh*t about you."
I found myself writing that in a message to a recently bereaved dad. How those callous words erupted from my fingertips, where they came from, I wasn't sure, and as my index finger reached for the backspace button to delete such a thoughtless comment, I stopped myself.
I reread it.
And decided not to delete it. But rather to explain it.
Because I believe it.
Grief is, without a doubt, an expression of our immense love.
There are many expressions of love on this earth. Grief is but one .
I believe grief exists for one reason, to break you down into the tiniest little pieces of yourself so you can build yourself back up stronger and with all of the lessons and love you've gained along the way woven into the fabric of the new you.
Grief can't be negotiated with.
It can't be persuaded to hurt you less than it does.
It can't be put in a box and "moved on" from, and it refuses to be ignored.
You are absolutely powerless against it.
And you can't be an oak tree in the face of grief. The winds will blow and you will split right down the center. You gotta be a palm. You have to bend and sway whatever direction it wants you to go, and know you will come out from the storm still standing.
And you can't judge yourself or your grieving process. All the crazy-making thoughts, they're all normal. It's the self-judgement about your grief that'll get you all tangled up, not the grief itself.
And the anger, that's also totally normal. It works it's way into your relationships with your loved ones, your relationship with the world, your relationship with yourself, wreaking havoc in it's path. But you know the anger is the grief talking and again- grief doesn't give a sh*t about you. If you get angry, that's your problem. Grief is just doing it's job. God- that sounds so harsh. It isn't meant to be, it's just the truth.
But here's the thing. You are not your grief.
Let me repeat that.
You are a beautiful, complex human being with layers of light and dark and purpose and talent and experiences. Emotions – good, bad and even those ones that hang out somewhere in the middle, those emotions that run through you are part of the complex, beautiful, nuanced tapestry that creates the beauty of you.
And here's another thing. You have a choice.
This grief and the breaking it does to you does not have to define you.
It's the rebuild that comes after, the "who you become", the choices you make and what you do with the lessons learned and love in your heart that define your future.
You can't bypass the pain… you shouldn't.
But you should also pay attention to the rebuild. Because every day, simultaneous to your grief, your rebuild is happening, and you have the power to define who you are and who you are meant to be on this side of loss.
If you want help becoming the person you want to be on this side of loss, we want to help you. I invite you to explore
Muchness After Babyloss.
Together with loss mom and psychologist Dr. Julie Bindeman, we created this 8- week course to truly help you step into your strength, light and purpose as a strong, empowered baby loss mamma.
We'd be honored to have you join us.

Wednesday on Fox News Channel's "America's Newsroom," Rep. Peter King (R-NY) said Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump comments that he would shut down mosques in America to combat racial Islam would be a violation of the Constitution which guarantees freedom of religion.
King said, "Donald Trump is talking before he knows what he's talking about. Listen I have been critical of people in the Muslim community, but the fact is you can't be going around shutting down mosques. I think we should have surveillance of mosques. I think we should be trying to find out what is going on in a mosque, find out if there's activity in that mosque, where there's weapons or conspiracy going on. Then yes you can take action. But to be casually, the way Donald Trump seems to be talking about shutting down mosques? No."
He added, "We do have freedom of religion. My position is not against the Muslims, it's against the radicals in the Muslim community."

The Butterfly's Daughter had a spiritual note to it. The story was captivating (a rode trip from Wisconsin to Mexico to bury ashes). I enjoyed learning about Monarch butterflies, and Mexico such as Michoacan Mts, the purhepecha language, oyamel trees & the day of the dead. I will recommend this book to friends who plan to travel to the Michoacan areas in Mexico.

News International chief executive and former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks faces police questioning over allegations of illegal news gathering at the Sunday tabloid, according to The Guardian.
The paper also reports that, following an earlier inquiry by Scotland Yard in 2004, police were so concerned by Brooks' admission to the Commons culture committee that payments had been made to police officers that it tapped her phone.
Today's report also alleges junior reporters were used as couriers to carry cash to police officers, and that a Passport Office employee was sent payments in exchange for handing over personal details from internal files.
Yesterday Brooks denied having any knowledge of police bribes following a request from MPs to expand on her earlier admission.
Yesterday's Evening Standard, meanwhile, reported that the News of the World had secretly with another phone-hacking victim – PFA lawyer John Hewison.
Hewison is the fourth named person with whom the News of the World has settled, following agreements with Max Clifford, PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor, and Jo Armstrong, a legal advisor to Taylor.
The Sunday tabloid is now facing 24 active civil claims.
The Times reports that the paper yesterday wrote to a further nine potential phone-hacking victims (paywall protected) including comedian Steve Coogan, MP George Galloway, ex-footballer Paul Gasgoine and actress Leslie Ash.
The others include the jockey Keiren Fallon, former FA executive David Davies, former model Elle Macpherson, her PA Mary-Ellen Field and actor Jude Law's PA Ben Jackson.
Several UK media lawyers have told Press Gazette that the News of the World could potentially be deluged with claims following its apology on Sunday.
Charlotte Harris, a lawyer who represents several people pursuing claims against the paper, claims there could be up to 7,000 phone-hacking victims.

Love the Life you Live!
"You're breathing, but are you alive!"
I saw this quote on a building in Vegas and it hit home with me! Life really slows down when you have a small baby in the house! It takes you 3 hours of prep to go anywhere, even if its just to the market! For the first few months of Maxx's life we were bumming it at home a lot! So much that the walls started closing in on me! But now that he's getting a little bit bigger we're starting to spread our wings and have mini adventures! Yes market trips are included in those adventures! I didn't say all of them were fun! I felt bad for Lil Jack because all his activities came to a halt for a few months, but we're back in action! He just started swimming lessons this week and he has it EVERYDAY, which is so nice to get out of the house! It gives us a reason to get out of the good ol pjs! We have a few little trips planned for the summer and just started adventure Sundays!!! Woo hoo! Life is supposed to be lived!!!
Here's a few goofy pics with my little twinsie at the Angels game last night! Had sooo much fun with this little goof troop!!
I want to live a happy and healthy life! I'm trying to incorporate exercise and healthy eating, but its soo HARD!! It had been a few weeks since I last worked out and I made the horrible decision to work out the day before photographing a wedding! My legs were so sore I couldn't bend down for the life of me! Just walking up the stairs to the venue and sitting during dinner was soooo painful!!!
Bad idea, I say! Bad idea! Even though I was in pain the whole day it was soooo nice to get out shooting again! I LOVE my job and I couldn't wait to shoot another wedding! The atmosphere is always so positive and full of love, its so addicting! At first I felt guilty for wanting to work... I felt like should be appreciating the time at home with my baby, which i totally do! But then I realized its healthy to have some "me" time. Some people spend their "me" time getting their nails done or pampering themselves but I actually like to spend mine working lol strange I know! But that's how much I love what I do! It makes me feel alive! Can't wait to share the photos from the wedding with you!

The United Nations is an intergovernmental body founded after the end of the Second World War to try to prevent international conflict. The United Nations is made up of several divisions including the General Assembly, which includes representation by each member nation, and the Security Council, comprised of five permanent members (United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia, and China) and ten rotating members.

Background on Eleanor Roosevelt | First Lady, Diplomat, and Activist
Anna "Eleanor" Roosevelt was born on October 11, 1884, into a wealthy New York family. Her uncle was Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States. Wealthy Victorian girls like her were to be educated and married to a suitable high society husband and raise children to perpetuate the family's status.
But early tragedy reshaped Roosevelt's life. Both her mother and her father died by the time she was ten years old. Her grandmother sent her to boarding school in England, where Roosevelt learned many progressive ideals from the school's Headmaster. She returned to the United States in 1902 more informed, desiring social justice particularly for the impoverished and downtrodden.
Shortly after the New York Junior League, a women's organization dedicated to community improvement through education and charity, was established in 1901, Roosevelt joined and helped women living in immigrant settlements. She saw, firsthand, the extreme poverty that so many Americans struggled with. As an educated and wealthy woman, Roosevelt knew that she could share her knowledge and resources with the poor to help them break out of poverty.
In 1905, she married Franklin Delano Roosevelt, future U.S. President. Although she had six children, and was busy running a household while her husband worked in prestigious political positions, she insisted on working for the Red Cross during WWI, aiding soldiers both stateside and abroad.
In 1921, Franklin Roosevelt was stricken with a bout of polio and lost use of his legs. Eleanor so strongly encouraged him to remain in politics that she often made speeches and appearances on his behalf. While he was governor of New York, she traveled around the state for him, inspecting state facilities and reporting her findings back to him.
Roosevelt balanced her duties helping her husband with her own professional life; one that was very independent of her husband's career. Throughout the 1920s, she was a member of Women's Trade Union League; Roosevelt was pivotal in advocating for the abolition of child labor, as well as a 48-hour workweek and a minimum wage for women. In 1927, she began teaching American literature and history at the Todhunter School for Girls, cultivating in her students social engagement and an understanding of current events.
When Franklin Roosevelt was elected president in 1932, the nation was deep in the Great Depression, an economic crisis that included high unemployment and an increase in poverty. As he worked to ease the nation out of the Depression, Eleanor became a trusted political partner. She was the "eyes and ears" of the New Deal, a series of government programs enacted to mitigate the Great Depression, traveling around the country to ensure his programs were being properly administered in the various states. In doing so, she realized that the programs as implemented in the South discriminated against African Americans, and she fought to end this inequity. This stance made her a very controversial figure.
After Franklin died in 1945, the 61-year old Eleanor assumed she'd retire from politics. Instead, her new career as an international diplomat began. President Truman selected her as the first U.S. delegate to the United Nations General Assembly. In 1946, she became Chair of United Nations Human Rights Commission, and drafted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. She continued working as an advocate of universal human rights until her death on November 7, 1962.
Introductory Activity
(5 minutes)
- Ask students: If you could speak out about a topic of importance to you and know that the whole nation and much of the world would be listening, what would you talk about?
- Introduce Eleanor Roosevelt:
As First Lady of the United States, Eleanor Roosevelt had a platform to be heard on issues such as racism, poverty, and women's rights. After leaving the White House, she continued as an advocate for international peace and human rights.
Learning Activities
Video and Class Discussion (10 minutes)
Distribute the Graphic Organizer for students to fill out while viewing the video.
Download the Graphic Organizer [PDF]
Discussion questions after viewing:
1. Eleanor Roosevelt was born into great wealth, privilege, and social status. What influenced her dedication to helping the poor and oppressed?
2. Of all the many actions taken by Eleanor Roosevelt to stand up for justice and equality, why do you think her decision to leave the Daughters of the American Revolution and invite Marian Anderson to sing at the Lincoln Memorial is considered particularly significant? (NOTE: The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is a women's service club whose members can document that their ancestors participated in the struggle for American independence.)
3. As First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt devoted most of her time and energy to national issues such as racial inequality, poverty, and women's rights. Why do you think President Truman thought she would be a good representative of the United States in an international body like the United Nations?
Visual Primary Source Activity (5 minutes)
Project or make copies of the image to the right. This image accompanied Eleanor Roosevelt's October 31, 1957, entry of My Day, a syndicated column that Mrs. Roosevelt wrote six days a week from 1935 through 1962. The column was so popular that it was eventually published in ninety newspapers across the country and reached millions of readers. Roosevelt frequently wrote about issues of race, women's rights, and current events. In this column, she explains "Trick or Treat for UNICEF," a campaign to have children raise funds for the United Nations International Children's Fund. UNICEF was originally an "Emergency" fund set up at the end of the Second World War, but by 1957 had become an organization dedicated to improving children's health and education in poor countries. Roosevelt's column indicated that just one penny could pay to inoculate a child against tuberculosis or buy five large glasses of milk made from milk powder. The "Trick or Treat for UNICEF" program was initiated in 1950 and continues to this day. For more information: https://www.unicefusa.org/trick-or-treat
Pictured with Mrs. Roosevelt and children in costume is Bob Keeshan, better known as Captain Kangaroo, the host of a popular children's television show from 1955 to 1984.
- Have you ever participated in "Trick or Treat for UNICEF"? If yes, share your experiences. If no, would you like to try it? Can you think of other ways to raise money for UNICEF that were not available when this photo was taken?
- Notice how Mrs. Roosevelt is dressed. How does this compare to what a woman in her position might wear today? (NOTE: She is in both gloves and a hat, accessories that were seen as essential in the 1950s but were viewed as too formal following the social changes of the 1960s.) Do you know of any women who, like Mrs. Roosevelt, continue to advocate for children in spite of advanced age?
- Compare the 1961 photograph with Eleanor Roosevelt and Captain Kangaroo to this 2011 photograph featuring model Heidi Klum. What do the differences between the two photos indicate about how society changed in those fifty years?
- If you were to choose two adult role models today to encourage children to participate in "Trick or Treat for UNICEF," who would you choose and why?
Written Primary Source Activity (15 minutes)
Students will read a letter written by Eleanor Roosevelt in response to a woman who had sent a complaint about sharing intimate space with African Americans. Mrs. Roosevelt's reply reflects both the limitations and the strength of her dedication to social equality regardless of race. The letter comes from the collection of the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.

Culminating Activity
This can be done as an in-class follow-up to the lesson, as a homework assignment, or as a multi-day in-class project.
To be completed using the Graphic Organizer [PDF].
Eleanor Roosevelt had a remarkable career that spanned decades and positively impacted the lives of huge numbers of people in the United States and across the world. Design a mural that could serve as a tribute to her legacy. Students may be required to include:
- A certain number of national and international accomplishments
- A time-line of Eleanor Roosevelt's life
- Quotations by Eleanor Roosevelt
- Note: Many murals were painted, particularly in post offices, by participants in the Works Progress Administration (WPA), a New Deal initiative launched by President Franklin Roosevelt. You may want to show some of these murals to your students and suggest or require that their murals be done in the distinctive WPA style.

NOVATO, CA --Police in Novato are asking for the public's help in identifying suspects in a shooting Tuesday night that hospitalized an 18-year-old man.
Officers responded to reports of shots fired near the intersection of Leafwood Drive and Sunset Parkway at about 9:50 p.m., Novato police Sgt. Jennifer Dunlap said.
Arriving officers found the victim shot in the upper body. He was taken to Marin General Hospital where he was listed in critical but stable condition.
The suspect or suspects fled in a white vehicle, Dunlap said. No further description was available this morning, and the motive remained unknown.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Novato police at (415) 897-1122.

Severe storms possible today
A strong upper-level system will move into the area tonight. Ahead of the storm system, warm and moist air will continue to stream into the region.
The atmosphere will become moderately unstable today, which will help thunderstorms become severe as a cool front enters the area. The storms will quickly develop by late morning into early afternoon and push east rather quickly.
Large hail and damaging winds look to be the primary threat. However, there is a slim chance for an isolated tornado.
Another threat for severe storms exists Sunday evening and again by mid next week.

What is Ghosting? If you're asking this question then you are not or have not been dating.
According to handy, dandy Urban Dictionary — Ghosting (v.) – "The act of suddenly ceasing all communication with someone the subject is dating, but no longer wishes to date." As someone who has both ghosted and been ghosted on, it's a sucky way to go
This doesn't necessarily have to happen after a date. This can happen after simply chatting online. Its happened to us all.
I am still pretty new at this dating thing and it has already happened a couple of times. I am sure there are many reasons why it happens. Somebody better comes alone, you weren't exactly honest about your relationship status, something else maybe?
I'd be interested in hearing your ghosting stories. Or of you have ghosted comment of the reasons why you ghosted.
If you'd like to share anonymously fill out the following form and I will place the text in this post…[contact-form-7 404 "Not Found"]

A. Conventional Route
Enrolment as a Fellow via the conventional route requires that an individual:
** Please note SOA recognized tracks include:

In lieu of the work experience route, an MRA candidate may successfully complete one Fellowship examination as prescribed from time to time by the EEC AND fulfil the experience requirement as set out under the Conventional Route.
*The PEC is a requirement for property and casualty candidates effective June 2019.
C. Affiliate Route
The Affiliate category of enrolment was adopted in order to provide a more general and open process of enrolment for fully qualified foreign actuaries who wish to practice in Canada and are not covered under an MRA. Enrolment as an Affiliate of the Institute requires an initial assessment of the individual qualifications of the candidate in order to determine the equivalency of the education and experience to the requirements of the CIA.
A customized program, based on the requirements of the CIA and the initial assessment of the candidate's qualifications, will be set for each Affiliate of the CIA who wishes to pursue Fellowship. Information on how to enrol as an Affiliate may be obtained by contacting the Membership, Education and Professional Development department of the Institute.
Enrolment as a Fellow via the Affiliate route requires that the individual enrols as an Affiliate of the Institute while accruing Canadian practical work experience, and:
* Or the equivalent education/exams through another recognized actuarial association.
Experience Requirement for Fellowship
Applicants for Fellowship via all of the routes mentioned above, must, at the time of their application, meet two experience requirements: the Professional Experience Requirement and the Canadian Experience Requirement.
Professional Experience Requirement
Applicants for Fellowship in the Institute must establish, to the EEC's satisfaction, that they have completed a three-year period of practical experience in full-time actuarial work during the 6-year period immediately prior to application. Full-time is defined as working 35 hours or more per week.
The specifics of this experience must be set out in detail and certified by a Fellow (or someone of equivalent status) of a recognized actuarial organization, as follows:
In circumstances where it is not reasonable for an actuary to attest to the work performed under the direction of other actuaries, it will be appropriate for the applicant to have more than one actuary certify to the accuracy of the work description.
Canadian Experience Requirement
Applicants for Fellowship in the Institute must establish to the EEC's satisfaction that they have gained at least 12 person-months of specifically Canadian practical actuarial work experience, while enrolled as an Associate, within the three-year period immediately prior to the person's application for Fellowship*.
A person-month shall be based on a 35-hour week or more. The 12-month period used to satisfy this requirement may be part of the three-year period used to satisfy the Professional Experience Requirement*.
Canadian residency and/or working for a Canadian company are not in itself sufficient to demonstrate satisfaction of this requirement.
The specifics of this experience must be set out in detail and certified by an FCIA, as follows:
It should be noted that under certain circumstances, additional information or documentation may be requested from the Eligibility Committee.
Only experience that is deemed Canadian and certified by an FCIA would meet the Canadian Experience Requirement.
Additional guidelines for the Experience Requirement may be found here.

John Hanczor joined Omega Shipping in the 1980's and was an important leader in the corporation and it's growth. In 1984 the corporation was being operated from a insignificant office, shipping household goods and personal effects to Israel and by 1991, after John Hanczor commenced working with the company they enlarged the company and became the dominant international moving company in New York. With internet advertising and quality service Omega Shipping has seen consistent growth. As with many successful companies, the most qualified leadership is a strong contributing factor to its accomplishment. Finding the right moving company can be challenging, but the structure and reputation of Omega Shipping has made that task much easier.
