The rumored subscription program has come to fruition. Today EA Sports announced the 'Season Ticket' – a yearly subscription plan that will be sold for $25/2000 MS points. The four primary benefits of the service are as follows:
•Early Full-Game Digital Access
Three days before a game's scheduled release, fans will be able to download and play the full version of all five participating titles on Xbox 360 and PS3. The digitally downloaded game will time out when the game is available at retail and consumers have the option to purchase the same full game on disc at retail. EA SPORTS Season Ticket subscribers can transfer all achievements earned during the three-day download period to the purchased disc, resulting in an early edge over the competition.
•Discounted Downloadable Content
Subscribers will get a 20-percent discount on all available downloadable content for participating EA SPORTS titles. Downloadable content, which enhances and refreshes the core game experience, includes such items as Ultimate Team packs, accelerator packs and gear upgrades.
•Free Premium Web Content
Premium web content extends the game experience beyond the console to a web browser. All participating titles will feature premium web content that will be free to EA SPORTS Season Ticket members beginning with the premium Creation Center packs for FIFA Soccer 12. These packs provide a deeper set of customization tools and abilities within Creation Center to build your own teams and tournaments, and will be available to the consumer until the membership to the program has expired.
•Membership Recognition
Subscribers are easily identifiable with an exclusive membership recognition badge displayed both in-game and on their EASPORTS.com profile.
The 'Season Ticket' will kick off starting with Madden NFL 12 but can be purchased as early as today. In a poll regarding the potential subscription plan respondents soundly rejected the idea. Now that the final details are out there what do you think of the 'Season Ticket'?

You walk into the bra area of the store, and you realize you are quickly faced with multiple decisions – Unlined? Lined? Demi cup? Full coverage? Multi-way? Racerback? The list goes on…
With so many options, how do you know which one is best for you?
For the second part of this three-part series, we are going to examine different bra styles.
Note: In case you missed it or want a quick refresher, be sure to check out Part One: Body Basics.
Unlined versus Lined
There are some common differentiators between these two bra styles to keep in mind. First of all, lined doesn't mean padding. In fact, many women would be hesitant to even consider a lined bra because they automatically link it to a padded bra.
This is not the case.
Now, what a lined bra does do for you is offer nipple coverage and slightly more support and shaping than its unlined counterpart.
Ultimately, the deciding factor between these two styles is personal opinion.
Full Coverage versus Demi
To cover or not to cover is the question between these styles.
Remember in Part One when we discussed breast shape? That topic is now coming full circle.
Often times, if you have a "teardrop" shape, a demi may work better for you. Why?
If you try on a full coverage bra and see some gathers or empty space at the top of the cup, try a demi style. The latter essentially cuts that portion of the bra from its shape. If you've tried a demi but feel you often fall out of the center - remember the question from the last post on breast positioning, that point is key here - you may want to try the next style.
I like to describe the balconnet bra like a shelf. It's meant to lift and separate, which can be quite helpful for women with close-set breasts and of course for those with breasts set further apart.
The main caveat with this style is the fullness of the breast - in regards to cup size.
Depending on your cup size, you may not fill out the balconnet enough to create a seamless look for your clothing. Of course, this depends on what and how you are wearing the bra.
The push-up is such a fun style because it warrants so many varying opinions. There is a camp that finds it odd to be "false advertising" while another wouldn't leave home without their trusted push-up.
The push-up is also a style that doesn't discriminate.
No matter what size you are, there's a chance you'll fall in love with a push-up.
For smaller chested women, it's about the added fullness; for fuller chested women, it's about the lift.
Just remember, there are varying degrees of push-up that aren't one-size-fits-all. Explore your options and find the right amount that works best for you, and it might be in either a demi or balconnet form, for example.
The Others
Here are some tips for some of the other styles of bras on the market.
Convertible bras are a versatile way to streamline your bra wardrobe. I do have these but also appreciate a bra that does a single job - such as a classic racerback.
Note: When switching your bra from one style to another, remember to adjust the straps and possibly the hook location on the band of the bra.
Racerback bras are a must in the summer, especially under tank tops and sleeveless dresses.
Strapless bras are a style that you may not wear that often but are something you need in your bra arsenal.
A Backless and Strapless bra is often a one-off purchase. They can be tricky to navigate, and I recommend purchasing this item with a particular outfit in mind.
For example, if you are fuller chested and depending on the style of the outfit you are planning to wear, you may want to purchase a low back bra instead - which may add more support and less worry for your night out.
On the other hand, if you are smaller chested, you may want something as simple as pasties.
Wireless bras have become one of my wardrobe staples.
A Note of Caution about this Style: Many women defer to wireless because they have been wearing the wrong size in the past and feel wireless are the only style that is comfortable, which most likely is not the case. A proper fitting bra and finding the right style can change this school of thought.
As for me, as I'm smaller chested, I have found wireless to provide enough padding and shape that I wouldn't get from an unlined bra while covering up any gaps I may otherwise have - back to Part One: Body Basics.
With that said, a well-fitting wired bra can be a game changer, which we will discuss more next time.
Above all, don't be afraid to try a new style of bra. I have helped many women with implants that have walked out with full coverage bras and even women with fuller chests leaving nicely lifted in their push-up styles.
Stay tuned for the conclusion of Finding Your Perfect Bra series when I share some general bra fitting tips and tricks.

I just read an article that sounded – to me at least – like "a canary in a coal mine" or an early warning of danger. This piece, written by Joe Pompeo, appeared in the May 2020 issue of Vanity Fair magazine with the title "The British Tabloid Invasion" and a subtitle that read, "How the Daily Mail is conquering American gossip."

Apparently the good old U.S. is a nation of "not great" sleepers. Really? And I thought I was the only one! According to a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention it was revealed that one out of three Americans are chronically sleep-deprived. Yikes!

I think we're all taken by the incredible mystique of the famous French fashion house, Hermès that has been with us for two centuries and is still owned and operated by the same family. From its beginnings in fine equestrian leather goods, they are – in the tumultuous year 2020 – best known for their handbags and many other items.
My image of Hermès has always been rarified products at equally rarified prices so imagine my surprise when I recently received a very stylish publication of theirs in the mail.

After a headbutted goal in the second overtime of last night's 3-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks was waved off as a rule violation, Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw, who previously scored an overtime goal off his shin pads to win Game 1 of the 2013 Stanley Cup Championship, has promised that all future goals will be scored with his stick or his shin pads, since he has never had a goal waved off when scored with either of those pieces of equipment.
"Listen, we all know that I love shin pads," Shaw said at a press conference. "And typically you'd want to score with a hockey stick. But last night I learned that, as cool as it might look, you can't just headbutt goals and hope for them to count. No, you have to shoot the puck with your stick or, barring that, push the puck into the net using your shin pads in order to actually get up on the scoreboard for your team."
While Shaw has sworn off trying to knock any future goals in with his head, he did say he might try to hip-thrust a puck into the net during Game 3 to see if the refs would let that slide.

October 08, 2015
The department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Manipal College of Dental Sciences, Mangalore, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, , organized a thought-provoking CDE and a hands on workshop on Forensic odontology on the 25th of July, 2015 at Lecture hall -1, ground floor, Manipal College of Dental Sciences, Attavar, Mangalore. The CDE aimed at providing a forum for discussion on Forensic Medicine & Forensic Odontology as they both mainly deals with the identification of humans,both living & the dead. It is a science that utilizes the existing knowledge to serve the judicial system. Worldwide,medical practicioners & dentists qualified in forensic science are giving expert opinion in cases related to human identification, bite-mark analysis, craniofacial trauma and malpractice.

Immigration Law Update: Fall/Winter 2009
ICE Serves 1,000 Employers with Notices of Inspection for I-9 Records
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently announced that it had issued Notices of Inspection (NOIs) to 1,000 employers across the country—alerting business owners that ICE will audit their hiring records to determine compliance with employment eligibility verification laws.
The 1,000 employers that received audit notices were selected for inspection stemming from investigative leads and intelligence and because of the organization's connection to public safety and national security.
These audits involve a detailed review of an employer's Forms I-9, which employers are required to complete and retain for each individual hired in the U.S. I-9 forms require employers to review and record each employee's identity and work eligibility document(s) and determine whether the document(s) reasonably appear to be authentic and related to that individual.
Audits may result in civil penalties and commence criminal prosecution proceedings for employers who knowingly violate the law. Monetary penalties for knowingly hiring and continuing to employ unauthorized individuals range from $375 to $16,000 per violation, with repeat offenders receiving penalties at the higher end. Penalties for substantive violations, which include failing to produce a Form I-9, range from $110 to $1,100 per violation. In determining penalty amounts, ICE considers five factors:
- Size of the business;
- Good faith effort to comply;
- Seriousness of violation;
- Whether the violation involved unauthorized workers; and
- History of previous violations.
"ICE is focused on finding and penalizing employers who believe they can unfairly get ahead by cultivating illegal workplaces," said ICE Assistant Secretary John Morton in a press release. "We are increasing criminal and civil enforcement of immigration-related employment laws and imposing smart, tough employer sanctions to even the playing field for employers who play by the rules."
For further information about I-9 inspection process and sanctions, please see the Form I-9 Inspection Overview or visit the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Web site.
USCIS Conducting Unannounced Employer Site Visits
Gray Plant Mooty attorneys have been seeing an increase in immigration-related enforcement activities recently. One of these activities includes personal visits to employers by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Office of Fraud Detection and National Security (FDNS), which is commencing an assessment of the H-1B temporary worker program.
For the most part, these H-1B site visits have been unannounced. The site visits generally occur at the H-1B employer's principal place of business and/or at the H-1B nonimmigrant's work location, as indicated on the Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker. We have received notification that the visits typically are short and that questions such as the following have been asked:
- When did the H-1B employee commence work?
- What is the job description for the position?
- What is the employee's work schedule?
- What salary is the employee being paid? (To confirm the salary, the officer may request a copy of the H-1B employee's W-2 from last year.)
- What type of business is the company involved in and for how long?
- How many employees does the company have?
- Where are the company's offices located?
The employer may request that its immigration attorney be present during the site visit. However, FDNS officers will not typically reschedule a site visit so that an attorney may be present. FDNS has stated that it will allow the attorney to be present by phone, if requested. If you receive a site visit, please feel free to contact contact Mark Mathison or Casey Nolan.
Rescission of the Social Security "No-Match Rule"
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has published its final rule concerning rescission of the Social Security "No-Match Rules." After further review, DHS has determined to channel its enforcement efforts toward the employment of aliens who do not have work authorization in the U.S. via increased compliance through improved verification, including participation in E-Verify, ICE Mutual Agreement Between Government and Employers (IMAGE), and other programs. This follows the DHS proposal to rescind the "No-Match Rules" on August 19, 2009.

'Biting The Fingers Of The Hand That Fed Your Boss' BNXN Slams Ruger Over Cryptic Post
Award-winning singer and performer BNXN fka Buju has hit back at fellow artist Ruger in a post he shared on his social media platform today, Wednesday, November 23, 2022.
The singer had shared a response to a post Ruger had cryptically shared on his social media platform, where he revealed that some artists force people to listen to their songs through ads and by paying influencers to make the song trend on social media platforms.
In an early post, BNXN had opened up that some Nigerian artists hit the number one spot on the charts without people actually listening to their songs.
His post read:
"I am something. For years now, I have forced my songs down people's throat whether e sweet abi e no sweet either by too much ads or by paying every influencer to make noise about a song they don't even like. Or by speeding my song on TIKTOK. WHAT AM I ?"
This prompted BNXN to share a response where he called the singer out, indicating this was a method he also adopted to promote his music.
BNXN's post read:
biting the fingers of the hand that fed your boss enough to feed you ?? Even when you and your boss use the same strategy?? After all those streaming-farm payments?
BNXN also went on to mention that artists who put in the work in terms of producing quality music are not receiving the dues they deserve. He also indicated that some of the streams do not actually translate to people attending concerts of the artists.
His post added:
Be organic or get the fuck out of my face!! How you got a million views and less than 5k on Spotify ? Are you whining me ? You're top of the charts and you're not choking me in the streets like Asake? just tiktoks? Are you silly ?

Business Made Easy in India in 2020: Myths and realities
Ease of doing business in India: Myths and realities
The World Bank delivered its yearly simplicity of working together report a couple of months back. The report named "Working together 2020: Comparing Business Regulation in 190 Economies" recommended that India had bounced 14 spots (from the 77th position in 2018) to take the 63rd position in 2019 in the World Bank's simplicity of working together positioning among 190 nations.
The public authority functionaries directly from the executive down to the account pastor and others rushed to lock on to this straw and declare to the world and Indians concerning how "well" the Indian economy is doing and that we are on course to understanding the fantasy of a $5 trillion economy by 2024.
God realizes what has befallen the other objective of 'multiplying ranchers' salaries by 2024′. A great deal was said by the leader and BJP president Amit Shah during the overall races held in 2019.
As per the reports and press release, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, referring to the information, expressed that India had improved in seven out of 10 markers and has drawn nearer to global prescribed procedures. Be that as it may, the report shows an improvement in just four out of 10 pointers. She further expressed that India was on course to accomplishing the 50th position and positioned among the 10 top entertainers for the third year straight.
In spite of the World Bank report's ruddy picture, reality talks in any case and focuses on an all-unavoidable agony about the possibilities of the Indian economy and for organizations. India's GDP, fares, creation, and interests in essential areas, credit accessibility, work openings, and customer request recoil.
Rating organizations, for example, Fitch, have chopped down the development conjecture for India to 4.6% in the financial year 2019-2020 as against 4.9% by Moody's and 5.1 % by the Asian Development Bank. If one thinks that the Modi government changed the strategy to register GDP, India's actual yearly GDP development rates might be under 4 %.
Indeed, even the International Monetary Fund, which had been wagering high on the possibilities of the Indian economy, has downsized its desires, even though it gauge India's GDP at 6.1% in 2019. Presently the GDP has declined, and we as a whole are very notable about the financial emergency. A National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) report on joblessness, which was retained before the last broad decisions, uncovered that India's joblessness rate at 6.1% was the most elevated in the past 45 years.
The NSSO buyer utilization data for 2017-18, which is being held by media spills, exhibit an abatement in the normal month to month customer use, which would deduce that destitution has extended after the current government came to control. Accepting legitimate, this would infer that need, which has been dependably declining in India post-1991, has exchanged.
The most recent accessible destitution information dependent on NSS customer consumption information is accessible simply up to 2012. Factual reports and information on various areas, which used to be consistently delivered to people in general over the most recent 70 years, are presently being retained or figured out how to shroud the economy's state's truth.
The NSSO buyer consumption information for 2017-18, which is being retained according to media spills, demonstrate a decrease in the normal month to month customer use, which would suggest that neediness has expanded after the current government came to control. Assuming valid, this would imply that neediness, which has been reliably declining in India post-1991, has switched.
The most recent accessible neediness information dependent on NSS purchaser consumption information is accessible simply up to 2012.
Measurable reports and information on various areas, which used to be consistently delivered to the general population over the most recent 70 years, are currently being retained or figured out how to conceal the economy's state's truth.
Arvind Subramanian, the previous Chief Economic Advisor to the Modi Government, because of his ongoing examination, expresses that the Indian economy is "now in the ICU." Former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan has said that the Indian economy is in a downturn. Indeed, even the World Bank currently yields that "India's repeating stoppage is extreme."
Assume one peruses the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business report, particularly its strategy for positioning nations dependent on the ten pointers. All things considered, one will know about its serious impediments, particularly in attracting surmisings about the business climate's state various nations.
The positioning of various economies concerning the pointers depends on a normalized specialty unit contextual analysis. It covers just a couple of urban areas in every nation. For India, the report just covered Delhi and Mumbai.
In what manner can these two urban communities speak to the business climate for a huge and assorted nation, for example, India, where the business climate differs from state to state. Additionally, how sensible is this normalized specialty unit and does it speak to just enormous organizations?
MSME overlooked
The report doesn't appear to cover miniature, little, and medium ventures (MSME), which contributes 45% of absolute modern work, half of the complete fares, and covers 95% of every single mechanical unit.
It likewise disregards the casual area. The report is fundamentally founded on a perusing of the laws and guidelines in separate nations and data campaigned from a review of private area specialists, most lawful specialists, and government authorities.
Shockingly the review doesn't cover proprietors of organizations best positioned to write about the simplicity of working together. There is likewise no data regarding how these respondents were chosen. Government authorities will just parrot out what the system of the day needs to hear.
Indians are very much aware of the wide hole among guidelines and their real usage. Even though India has demonstrated an improvement in four markers – beginning a business, managing development grants, exchanging across outskirts, and explaining indebtedness, for six different pointers – getting power, credit, enlisting property, ensuring minority financial specialists, settling charges, and implementing contracts, there is no improvement.
The general simplicity of working together file figured in the report is only a basic norm of the ten markers' scores, which is sketchy since it gives equivalent load to all the pointers. Maybe, the most strong portrayal of the genuine condition of the simplicity of working together in India is the dismal story of an NRI finance manager in Kerala who ended it all as of late, baffled with the long stretches of postponement in getting clearances from the nearby panchayat for his venture.

Sherwood, OR – October 2, 2015 –"I love working with the young horses," Charlotte Dujardin told an adoring crowd who, bundled under jackets and spare coolers, encircled Devonwood Equestrian Center's stadium dressage arena, adorned with mums and other fall foliage. "For me, that's my real passion, to start from the bottom and get to the top."
Dujardin explained that the progression of horses set up for the opening day of the clinic had been organized by age and level first a 4yearold, next a 5yearold, then a 6yearold, and so on to better see the progression of her training system.
"I think with the relationship you get with your horse and the partnership, you become true friends," she continued. "You are really united. That really, really shows when you get to the top."
The two day clinic, presented by Scott Hayes, was advertised as "an intimate weekend" with Dujardin. On this first day, Dujardin lifted the curtain behind her training process in a lighthearted, friendly atmosphere, interspersed with cheeky banter between her and Hayes. Dujardin candidly discussed the method behind her training system, what she looks for in a young horse, the methodical progression of their workload and her horses' daily routines. She also gave the crowd insight into some of her dislikes in the show world and how she handles the stress and increasing pressure on the international show circuit.
While giving individualized attention to seven horse and rider combinations, Dujardin managed simultaneously to chronicle her thought process in trying, buying and raising young horses. Here is what she shared.
What to Look For
When trying new horses, Dujardin suggests paying closest attention to the walk and canter; however, bigger is not always better.
"A walk with a hoof overtrack is plenty," she explained. "For me, I don't want a big overtrack. I don't want a big walk, I just want a good walk so that when I pick up the horses, I have a clear rhythm in the collected walk."
Dujardin pointed out that horses with massive walks often, down the road, have the most trouble collecting.
"You will see horses with big extended walks find it hard to collect," she said. "I'm just happy with a walk for a 7.5/8. That's plenty. I don't walk for a 9 or a 10. I just want to have a walk that's really loose and through and swinging."
The same rule applies for canter.
"I just like a good canter," she stated. " I don't have to have a huge canter, but a correct canter with a good rhythm and the adjustability of the canter."
Trot is the pace Dujardin is least concerned about, "because I always know, in my training, that I can teach a horse to trot."
So why does the world's top ranking dressage rider not seek youngsters with dazzlingly expressive gaits? Dujardin explained she's much more interested in a combination of the trainability of the horse and her ability to create the expression something that flashy movers, like those hailed in young horse classes, don't automatically possess.
"I hate the young horse classes," she shared. "I hate them because the judges, I feel, want to see huge, flashy, big moving young horses. In my eyes, that's not correct. I think it's all judged on the first appeal that they see, not the character of the horse, the trainability of the horse. They just want to see the biggest walk, the biggest trot and the biggest canter."
Dujardin finds young horse classes irrelevant to young horse success, in that they overlook many with great potential (Valegro is a notable exception).
"A number of my horse that I've gotten to Grand Prix all did rubbish in young horse classes," she said. "So I had great pleasure in showing those judges that I could get to international Grand Prix with those horses that they no longer thought were good enough!"
In light of her distaste for young horse tests, Dujardin explained she doesn't compete her young horses much, only for the experience of getting in different arenas.
She also answered one auditor's question on the relevance of bloodlines.
"For me, the bloodlines are one of the last things I look at," she said. "I'm not really worried about what breed it is." She did confess that she is partial to Dutch Warmbloods, finding them really sharp, quick, and hot; however, in her opinion, bloodlines and even the breed itself are not limiting factors.
"All shapes and sizes can do it," she insisted. "It doesn't really matter." When thinking of bringing along a Grand Prix prospect, Dujardin explained what the ideal balance looks like,
"A really talented horse can do two things: sit (the sitting work is a piaffe and a pirouette), and push (extension and passage)," she said. "Horses that can do both of those things, which is quite rare to find and have a good temperament, good trainability that's the hardest thing to find."
The Budget
Also interesting to learn was that Dujardin maintains a surprisingly limited and sensible budget for all her youngsters.
"I buy all my horses at the age (roughly) between foals and 2yearolds," she explained, "because that when they're at the cheapest!"
It turns out Dujardin and her longtime mentor Carl Hester keep a surprisingly limited budget on new horses purchases, Valegro being no exception.
"We have a budget of between 1015,000 pounds," she explained. "We don't ever try to spend more than that. Most people think because we're 'Carl and Charlotte' that we're really lucky, we get owners that buy us horses for millions of pounds I'll have you know, Valegro was 5,000 Euro. Nip Tuck was, I think, 2,500 Euro as a foal. Most of ours are cheap horses. That's a rule we have."
Starting Young Horses
"I do breaking myself, as long as they're not too crazy!" Dujardin said. "I really, really enjoy doing it. People think I'm crazy, but I do love doing the backing and the whole process of starting a young horse."
When asked about her timing, in terms of when and how she starts these young prospects, Dujardin detailed the specifics of her patient practice. "We break them at the end of their 3-year-old year," she said.
"We'll break them, we do the long reining, the lunging, we lean on them, we get on them. Once we've sat on them, we do a little bit of walk/trot. Then they go away and get turned out again for a couple of months."
Once the horses are brought back in as 4-year-olds, they are still not put into a rigorous work routine. They are played with on and off.
"The 4-year-olds start, have a break, and then we pick them up again," she said. "We don't do masses with the 4-year-olds."
The Working Routine
Dujardin's horses are worked four days a week: Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. All her horses, regardless of level, hack out on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and get a complete rest day on Sunday. Dujardin's horses also enjoy to large amounts of time out in the field. All horses age 4 and under live out in fields, and all her other horses get long daily turnout. Some of the hottest, like Hester's mount Nip Tuck, live out even past the age of 4. The hotter the horse, the more field time they get.
On work days, Dujardin's Grand Prix horses go for 15 to 20minute hacks up the road before starting any work. The first 15 minutes of the session are then spent stretching. She explained that the next phase, the "working" phase, is no longer than 40 minutes. They go in the field, then they go out again and are walked in the afternoon. Dujardin stressed that time out of the stable is a big part of keeping her horses happy and sound.
"For their joints, obviously you want to keep them moving," she said. "It's the best way to keep them sound."
Dujardin's Current Young Horses
When asked about her current horses, Dujardin expressed both the pride and heartbreak that come in the horse industry, particularly applicable when building relationships with young horses. She told a story filled with pride about her Florentina, her personal mare who recently won a National Championship 5-year-old class.
"That was really, really exciting for me, to have one of my own win something," she shared. "It was really emotional for me. I actually got more emotional about that than anything else because it was my horse."
But with exciting victories there can also be heartbreak. Dujardin explained she was forced to sell another one of her horses for financial reasons after buying him as a 3-year-old and bringing him up to Grand Prix.
"It's really hard in this industry," she explained. "I've come from the background of not having loads of money so I hope that I can inspire people who think this industry is all about having lots of money. I came from a background of not having that financial support. I've worked from the bottom, I've mucked out, I've done all the duties that you have to do to get to where I am today. I think it's a huge achievement to set and to show everybody that through hard work and dedication you can get there. It's not all about having loads of money and having people buy loads of expensive horses. You've just got to work harder, try harder!"
Faith in Her System
When asked about how she deals with show stress, Dujardin expressed confidence in her training system.
"I don't really worry about what people say," she said. "I know my system works. I know my horses are happy. I'm happy with the way things work whether I win or lose. If my horse has gone in there and done its best and I've done my best, then all I can do is to be happy. That's what I do. My job is my passion and my love for my sport. I'm so lucky to be doing it."
To Dujardin, the pride in working comes not from expecting every mount to rise to the same victories Valegro did, but the process and journey of rising up levels.
"I believe every horse can get to Grand Prix, or can do their best at that level. In our eyes it doesn't matter if they're not the next Valegro. There aren't going to be very many horses that can be the next Valegro. To us it's still about the training and our system. To be able to train a horse to Grand Prix and not be able to just buy them I feel like that's a huge achievement alone. I get much more privilege out of riding and doing it that way than buying the horses."

Eyenuk Inc., a global artificial intelligence (AI) medical technology company, is pleased to announce that it has successfully cleared an independent HIPAA audit. As a leader in real-world AI eye screening for autonomous disease detection, the team at Eyenuk Inc. understands and embraces the responsibility to keep patient data both private and secure, and they are thrilled to receive this certification which reflects their dedication to patient privacy.
In an age where major entities have gravely mishandled personal information entrusted to them by consumers, public concern regarding confidentiality and enforcement of privacy regulations including HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accounting Act) has grown to an all-time high. As a response, industry regulators have fortified policies and emphasized enforcement to ensure that patient information remains confidential.
Following a recent audit by A-Lign, an accredited independent auditing agency, Eyenuk Inc. has been given the stamp of approval for adhering to best practices designed to protect patient confidentiality.
The importance of adhering to HIPAA regulations simply cannot be overstated. HIPAA certification establishes legitimacy for a business institution, instilling confidence in consumers and business partners alike that their most private and valuable information is being handled with the care and respect it demands.
HIPAA-compliant DR screening with EyeArt
Eyenuk's EyeArt® AI Eye Screening System for autonomous detection of diabetic retinopathy (DR) has been extensively tested in the real-world on more than half million patients and nearly two million retinal images globally. The EyeArt system is designed to provide DR imaging, grading, and reporting in a single office visit without the need for expert human technicians or graders, making DR screening exams much more accessible to patients with diabetes. With the patient data involved in the use of this technology, the responsibility to keep it safe follows—a task for which Eyenuk has been deemed prepared.
About HIPAA
When properly adhered to, HIPAA requirements serve to ensure privacy, greatly reduce the incidence of fraud, and improve data systems that consolidate storage and expedite retrieval of important medical information—a development that is estimated to save providers billions of dollars every year.
To these ends, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has developed four major requirements that must be demonstrated in order to receive HIPAA certification. They are:
- Privacy Rule
- Security Rule
- Enforcement Rule
- Breach Notification Rule
Privacy and Security are the two features that require action from a company in their day-to-day operations. It is the responsibility of every accredited institution to ensure that all transmissions which contain patient information, online or otherwise, remain secure and confidential. In order to be certified, a compliance department must be established with the core objective of developing and enforcing company policy regarding privacy and security of this information.
Compliance officers at Eyenuk have been certified for their thorough understanding and dedication to enforcement of all Privacy and Security requirements outlined by HIPAA, as well as for having developed actionable strategies for Enforcement and notification of breach.
A Final Word
The HIPAA certification is a stepping stone in helping Eyenuk expand the availability of their medical technology solutions and achieve their mission of screening every eye in the world to ensure timely diagnosis of life- and vision-threatening diseases, including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, stroke risk, cardiovascular risk, and Alzheimer's disease.

A Montana bowhunter is lucky to be alive after being attacked by a 500 lb. grizzly bear while elk hunting last week south of Livingston, MT. Bob Legasa and his hunting partner, Greg Gibson, were spot and stalk hunting an elk that was about 100 yards. As they slowly made their approach, the "denseness of the vegetation made it difficult to see absolutely everything" – including a sow grizzly bear and her two-year-old cub when Legasa and Gibson "emerged onto a road," the Couer d'Alene/Falls Press reports.
"She was barreling straight toward me," said Legasa. "I thought this might be a bluff charge. I braced myself like a football player bracing for impact. It was going to be a second or a second-and-a-half before I was hit. I did not want to take my eyes off of this bear."
Both men were armed with bear spray and, while Legasa fought off the sow, Gibson showered her with bear spray, accidentally hitting Legasa two times with the spray, too.
"I put my arms in front of me. I had my bow in one hand and had my arm out. She tried to get me into a bear hug headlock," said Legasa. "She grabbed onto my arm and had it in her mouth. I was knocked over on my butt and at that point, I was kicking and screaming trying to move her away."
While Legasa was able to finally grab his own can of bear spray, he only managed to spray himself with it. It took Gibson's third attempt with bear spray to make the sow retreat.
Legasa suffered claw marks to the face, gashes and puncture wounds on his arm and wrist and a fractured arm. Fortunately, once the bear fled, he was able to walk away from the attack and get to a hospital, first in Livingston and, then, in Bozeman where he had "to have surgery to clean out the wound," according to the Couer d'Alene/Falls Press. Doctors also gave him a tetanus shot and started him on a rabies series.

As for the bear? Legasa says he doesn't think it should be tracked down and euthanized; the grizzly bear was simply doing what she should in that situation: protect her cub. However, he does think more grizzly management would be effective.
"They're just not afraid of anything. Having these types of encounters, they need to be relocated to an area that's not populated. If they could trap the bear and move it, that would be great," said Legasa. "They've grown to a large population and there needs to be some management on it so we can lessen the population and the impact that we're having with these confrontations with humans."

Supporting India's decision to challenge WTO ruling which held the government's power purchase agreements with solar firms as "inconsistent", Greenpeace today said the ruling "violates" the spirit of Paris climate change agreement.Ruling against India, the WTO recently had said India's power purchase agreements with solar firms were 'inconsistent' with international norms – a matter in which the US had filed a complaint before the global trade body alleging discrimination against American firms.
Greenpeace India and Greenpeace USA have criticised the ruling and expressed support to the Indian government's decision to go for an appeal against it."India's setting of Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) was based on a worthy core principle – increasing economic opportunities and creating thousands of green jobs while taking critically important steps in the global fight against climate change."It is ridiculous that the WTO does not recognise this principle and points to the danger to developing countries that such international trade regimes pose," said Pujarini Sen, campaigner, Greenpeace India.
"The WTO ruling – and the US decision to pursue it – is a setback to India's renewable energy ambitions. By challenging this decision, the Indian government is demonstrating commitment to India's fledgling solar manufacturing sector, which needs initial support to enable it to compete with the price of imported products and to its own roadmap for a green economy solution to global climate change," Sen said.
The US had dragged India to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) on this issue in 2014, alleging that the clause relating to domestic content requirement (DCR) in the country's solar power mission were discriminatory in nature and "nullified" benefits accruing to American solar power developers.
The ruling was a blow to India which has announced a target of 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022, of which 100 GW will be realised through the National Solar Mission.

Richard Greenberg's Three Days of Rain has two acts, three actors and six characters that span two generations.
This play is complex. Each actor plays two different roles, the events are not in chronological order and each character is dealing with an important impasse in their life. Nevertheless, Clara Mooney '17 and Alex Kirshy '17 decided to take on the challenge for their senior thesis.
"I just remember picking it up and just not being able to put it down," Mooney said, "and being able to see and hear it in my brain."
In the first act, Kirshy stars as Walker Janeway, a loud and unstable man who has just returned from a year in Italy following his father's death and becomes obsessed with his late father's journal. The play begins after Walker has returned to New York to attend the reading of his father's will. Kirshy works well alongside Emma Daily '18, who plays Walker's sister Nan, and Chris Stevens '17, as Walker's old friend Pip Wexler. Stevens also acted in You Got Older, which went up the same weekend.
Under Mooney's direction, the cast remained in sync even when the characters had to be in completely different headspaces. At certain points, Mooney chose to have characters upstage themselves by talking out a window on the back wall of the stage or by speaking to a character upstage of them. While this is normally the number one "don't" of directing, the risk paid off. Mooney's direction used the full space of the stage and illustrated the shifts in power dynamics as the play moved forward.
"The script called for these two separate spaces — the apartment and the street below," Mooney said, "and I needed to find a way to use the space as economically as possible."
In the first act, Kirshy played his character well. He hit all of his marks and seemed to play the character with ease. It was in the second act, however, when he plays a young version of Walker's father Ned, that he really broke through and delivered a stunning performance. The second act takes the play back 45 years and tells the story of a mysterious entry Walker discovered in his father's journal: "1960, April 3-5. Three days of rain."
Ned's character required a subtlety that wasn't needed in Kirshy's previous performance. Ned is unassuming and speaks with a stutter, but Kirshy remained at the center of every scene because of the endearing qualities — such as a sweet demeanor and soft tone of voice — that he brought out in his character.
Where the stuttering could have become a nuisance, it didn't. Where Ned could have slipped into a secondary role, he didn't. And where Kirshy could have downplayed the complexity of such a quiet character, he refused.
The amount of work that Kirshy put into this character and the risks that Mooney took in her directing paid off tenfold. The second act of Three Days of Rain took the play from a good, but typical, senior thesis to an outstanding production of an extremely complicated and potentially cumbersome production.

5. 1955-1956 San Francisco Dons
(photo via Sportige)
While the University of San Francisco absolutely dominated college hoops in the 1950s, the 1956 squad is considered one of the best all-time. Led by the play of their All-American center Bill Russell, the Dons dominated their opponents with relative ease en route to a 29-0 mark and an 83-71 victory over Iowa in the National Championship. The Dons' exciting style of play, headlined by Bill Russell and his 20 points and 21 rebounds per game, had fans scouring for tickets all year long.


text: I really like this proposal, because entities are not the only thing you can do with DTDs. You have attribute tokenization and normalization, attribute defaulting, content models. In particular, people in this group often say that namespaces are difficult to use for authors. Given the appropriate DOCTYPE declaration (for example XHTML11 plus MathML 2 plus SVG11), namespaces and their attributes are no more a problem for authors. Secondly, attribute normalization at the language level should provide a consistent processing for special attributes (id and class in XHTML10/11). Further, content models could be used for warnings in the developer console (though probably XML schemas are better here) and surely could be used for better well-formedness error messages. Eg, un unclosed <img> tag would be reported immediately after the opening tag, and not at the location of the parent close tag. (This only applies if the XML fragment is not well-formed). On the other side, we have legacy XML content and the fact that many pages refer directly to W3C DTDs. Luckily, the XML specification has a feature to allow the page to indicate that external declarations are not needed: the "standalone" declaration. - standalone=yes means that no external subset is needed, nor are needed external entities. Processing of internal subsets stops at the first unread (external) parameter entity. General entity references (other than amp,gt,lt,quot,apos and those declared in the internal subset) are a well-formedness error. This is the minimum required behaviour of a non-validating parser. - standalone=no means that this document relies on external data, and cannot be processed without such data. All subsets must be read and processed (including attribute and element declarations) and all parameter entities resolved (either internal or external). External general entities referenced in the document are replaced with the appropriate content. - no standalone declaration could mean "standalone=yes" (not conforming with XML), "standalone=no" (not backward compatbile) or could mean a third way, such that only internal entities and entities with a known public identifier are used. The DOCTYPE is processed if and only if it is a known entity and there are no unread parameter entities in the internal subset. Entity retrival is based on the public identifier, if that is known to the application, or on the system identifier if "standalone=no".. Entities that cannot be retrieved (for network errors or unsupported/malformed IRIs) are kept with the EntityReference node in the DOM for general entities (this means that the ampersand followed by the entity name followed by a semicolon is rendered, as per XHTML1.0), and stop the processing of the DTD for parameter entities. This proposal should solve a lot of problems (shown above), allowing to uncover the full potential of XML1.0 while avoiding a DOS on w3.org and keeping existing content working. Giovanni

Last week, I wrote the acknowledgements of my debut novel (Still can't quite believe I get to say that!). And with so many people to thank, I wanted to share all my gratitude here as well as at the back of the book, because everybody should know how awesome everyone who helped me is!
I first started [Full Term] on the 22nd of May 2016. By the time it finally goes into print (30th March 2021), it will be just under two months shy of being five years old, from first word to publication. So much has happened in that time, and so many people have helped that I'm both thrilled and terrified that now, at this very last hurdle, I'm going to forget to thank someone. Just in case, I ask forgiveness in advance if you feel your name should be below, but you find it missing. Please know this was not intentional. There's a saying about it taking a village to raise a child, and I feel like it's taken an entire online community to bring forth this book.
But enough preamble. Let me first start with my editor, the wonderful and ever patient Bridget Wilde. I know it's cliché, but I honestly could not have gotten this book into print without her. This book is very literally a different book than the one I handed to her, but it's so much better for all the rewrites. Be, honestly, thank you so much!
Next, I must thank Be's partner in crime, Anna Sheehan, who not only beta-read considerable parts of this book (and a few of its previous iterations), but contributed a large portion of the IndieGoGo funding, and provided the lovely quote for the cover as well. I don't know what I've done to deserve you, but if I ever find out, I'll let you know!
I have spent countless nights being encouraged by both Bridget and Anna––often both at the same time––throughout this long process. Thank you both for listening to all my 5am meltdowns.
Going back over ten years to my university days, I want to thank my original critique partner, Mickey Luke Mitchell. I also want to apologise for the things I made you read back then, when I was very much still finding my feet.
Similarly, the dear Liz Griffin who read a lot of my old work, before I quite got the grip on grammar and punctuation I have now. Thank you, and sorry for all the typos I brought into your life.
Speaking of typos, my good friend Jodie Eve, in her innocence, used to get me to beta-read her work. Many, many hours were spent moving around commas that I'm still not quite sure are entirely right, but you believed I knew what I was doing and for that I am so grateful.
I'm proud to have also been buoyed by support from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, Belfast Writers' Group, Women Aloud NI, SCBWI (both British Isles and Irish chapters), countless Elysian Fields members (you know who you are!), my lone Patreon patron Seanín Hughes, beta readers Tina 'Mini' Scott and Vee Caswell (who both also contributed to my crowdfunding campaign), critique partner Lesley Walsh, life partner and perpetual lemon toasty of the month (don't ask!) my wonderful husband Steve Herron, and writing mentors Felicity McCall and Jo Zebedee.
My darling Stephanie Hibbert did an excellent sensitivity read of this novel for me (i.e. answered all of my ignorant white people questions), and I got expert advice from Cathy Carson, Alicia Rana, and Dr Joanne Holland DVM MD about safeguarding, nursing, social work protocols, and midwifery respectively. Any errors that may have slipped in regarding any of these topics are my own doing, not theirs.
Shout out to Wendy L. Bonifazi RN CLS APR, who kindly proofread this novel for me, and of course the rest of my awesome IndieGoGo Backers: Debi Lamm, Cat Pothier, Liz Weir, Byddi Lee, Shirley-Anne McMillan, Beth Armstrong, Karen Mooney, Mark Davidson, Ryan Miller, Marianne Simpson, Cathy Reilly, Kay Adlington, Elizabeth McGeown, Emma King*, Lynda Collins, Anthony Calamis, Wilma Kenny, Kelly Creighton, and my cousin (and fellow author) Kim Graham.
The puddle/ocean advice that Lynne gives Mya in chapter five, I picked up from Tumblr many years ago and have never forgotten (though sadly I haven't the faintest idea who shared it originally––told you I'd forget someone!).
Just thank you, thank you, thank you all so very much!
*Since I wrote this and sent the book to print, Emma King earned herself another shout out for donating hours of her time to helping me with a fiddly photoshop task to do with the paperback cover. Even at this stage, I'm finding it staggering how much people are willing to give to make sure this book succeeds.
*UPDATE* I just realised I have been completely remiss in thanking my super wonderful, completely excellent web developer Will Hall! Will, I am so sorry. If/when I make a second edition of the book, your name will be included properly. You are awesome!
Full Term is available for pre-order here.

We all know the first rule when it comes to effective revision is not to leave it to the last minute. But, how do we avoid doing passive and unproductive revisions? Strategies like re-reading and using highlighters are largely ineffective, whereas quizzing actually works! Keep reading for 7 tested and proved effective revision tips. When applied separately or combined, these tips can help you better perform on exams and get better grades.
Be a quiz wiz
A preferred mode of studying is sitting down and looking over the textbook and notes that you took during class, and once the material looks familiar, you assume you're done studying and ready to take on the exam. But this passive revision method is merely giving you the illusion of understanding – or the perception of recall from long-term memory. While quizzing yourself helps to pull information from long-term memory and gets checked for accuracy and detail using course content, and the more that the study situation resembles the testing situation, the more likely you are to remember the information during the test. And guess what, this works even if you're not in school. If you are in a position where you have to learn something new, don't simply read it over, test yourself.
Good ol' flashcards
Using flashcards is a great way to study and retain factual knowledge. First, flashcards engage "active recall," that is, you are attempting to remember the concept from scratch rather than simply reading a passage in your textbook or notes on your laptop. Second, when you reveal the answer side of a flashcard to assess your accuracy, it's in fact an act of self-reflection, that is, you are asking yourself questions about how well you know the material. Finally, you have the freedom to choose to review some cards more often than others, and hence you have a choice to reinforce repetition of certain knowledge.
Get organized with diagrams
Reorganizing and restructuring the knowledge that you've retained with diagrams is a great way to assess if you're ready for your exams. This is another active revision method because you are deliberately writing down different steps of a process in a sequential order or making meaningful links that are logical and coherent.
Reorganize your notes with help from Cornell
Devised by a professor at Cornell University in the 1950s, the "Cornell Note Taking" method is a well-structured system for effectively taking, organizing and reviewing notes.
This note-taking method encourages students to actively analyze or synthesize and summarize your notes in your own words, which is good practice to help you digest the knowledge, facts/concepts of the topic you're studying. On top of that, the way this note-taking method is structured requires you to reorder certain passages on the page, and hence allows you to reinforce your understanding.
Talk out loud
Give yourself one minute to talk out loud about the topic or subject you're studying. Try to not to pause or hesitate. This is in fact a self-explanatory method, meaning that you're making causal or conceptual connections between new information you've learned and what you already know (or other parts of the topic). Ultimately, if you can explain and elaborate on the topic or subject well, not only have you retrieved it from memory, but you also know that you have solid understanding of it.
Be picky
Choose important facts, ideas, concepts, or terms, from a given revision topic or subject. Then carefully select what you think is the most significant knowledge or idea/concept that you need to understand for your exam. And be picky about it. Just like highlighting your notes, don't paint the page in neon yellow or pink, but limit yourself to only choosing a few lines (the most important ones) to highlight. Also, being picky is helpful when you have exams from multiple courses to study for.
Practice, practice, and practice
If you can get your hands on past exam questions or even study guidelines from friends or classmates, then great, now you just need to practice over and over again, and remember to space out these practice sessions over time. If that's not the case, then try to come up with exam questions, based on your experience and judgement of how the professor is going to evaluate the class, or based on the format of the exam (i.e. multiple choice, fill in the blanks). Aside from practicing on answering questions, it's also important to practice having the mindset or being in "game/exam mode". Simulations of how you might feel, how you manage time, and such, will help you be mentally prepared for the exam.

Booming renewable sector ripe with opportunity |
With renewable projects active in three states ICN consultants across the country are working with large renewable energy projects and helping organisations transfer skills to the booming sector. Over the past decade, ICN has worked with several wind and solar farm developments and each State office has a significant understanding of the local capabilities for potential projects. "Some of the country's largest wind and solar farm projects, including the nation's most visible turbines - The Capital Wind Farm - on the far shores of Lake George in NSW, have relied on ICN to help to source local suppliers," ICN Executive Director Derek Lark said. "Opportunities for Australian manufacturers and suppliers include tower construction and installation, cabling, electricity conversion systems and substations, associated construction, and complementary industries such as heavy haulage and components." SA The Solar River Project, 110kms north of Adelaide will bring the most advanced solar PV power generation and storage technology to South Australia, delivering energy security, carbon reduction and hundreds of local jobs. The project includes a 200MW PV array with an integration of 120MWh battery system and extra 95MWh network stability battery. The development includes the establishment of two community funds with the traditional owners the Ngadjuri people and the Regional Goyder Council, as well as a conservation park for endangered species research and protection. ICN encourages local industry interested in supplying to the project to register an expression of interest through the Gateway. VIC Vestas Wind Technology is developing two wind farms – one near Geelong and one near Mortlake. The Berrybank Wind Farm, about 80km West of Geelong, will comprise 43 Vestas V136-4.2MW wind turbines as well as associated civil and electrical infrastructure. The Dundonnell Wind Farm, owned by Tilt Renewables, is 23 km north-east of Mortlake, and will include 80 Vestas V150-4.2MW wind turbines plus associated civil and electrical infrastructure. Both projects are currently calling for general Expressions of Interest to support the construction phase of the wind farm, with opportunities at Berrbank including onsite facilities; equipment and plant hire; fuel and water supply; fencing; plumbing; electrical; and accommodation. At Dundonnell, Vestas is calling for EOIs for a range of services such as surveying, geotesting, earthworks, concreting, onsite facilities, and supply of materials such as HV cable, optical fibre cable, lightening masts and KL UPS. North of Geelong, Goldwind Australia is developing the Moorabool Wind Farm, which will extend 14km north to south between Ballan and Mount Wallace to the west of the Geelong-Ballan Rd. The project scope includes the construction and operation of 107 wind turbines that are expected to produce enough renewable energy to power the equivalent of 223,000 – or 11 percent - of average Victorian homes every year. Work packages open in May 2019, for a range of products and services, including electrical, geotechnical, security, civil construction, earthmoving, plant and machinery hire, fencing and landscaping. The Golden Plains Wind Farm near the town of Rokewood, will generate approximately 3000 gigawatt hours each year from 228 wind turbines. Project owner West Wind Energy is calling for expressions of interest from companies wishing to supply products and services to the project. You must have a Gateway Company profile and ICN Vic will include all companies who submit an EOI in information presented to WestWind, who will make direct contact with successful EOIs. In the central north of Victoria, FRV Services Australia is building the 85MW Winton Solar Farm, about 25km south-west of Wangaratta. ICN worked with FRV last year to support the project owner's goal to use local content where possible. QLD The Queensland Government has recently approved the construction and operation of up to 195 wind turbines and ancillary civil and electrical infrastructure about 150km west of Rockhampton. Clarke Creek Wind Farm is in the final phases of feasibility with the investment decision due in mid-year and the project to be completed by the middle of 2021. Lacour Energy has partnered with Goldwind Australia to deliver the project. Both companies are committed to local sourcing where possible. Major subcontractors will be appointed for:
