As social media gains heightened influence over our lives, it becomes increasingly important that the news we receive online be accurate, trustworthy, and dependable. However, episodes such as "Pizzagate"[1] and claims of Russian interference in the US presidential election have resulted in more Americans than ever questioning the accuracy of the daily news updates that they receive on their social media devices. Recent concerns over data privacy and national security have highlighted that "fake news" has begun to infiltrate our society in ways previously inconceivable.
In March 2018, a bombshell was dropped when whistleblower Christopher Wylie made public allegations that political data analytics firm Cambridge Analytica collected private information from an estimated 87 million[2] Facebooks accounts and used this information, without Facebook's authorization, to support President Trump's 2016 election campaign.[3] Facebook announced it has suspended the data analytics firm after discovering the firm had violated Facebook's platform policies.[4] This revelation was referred to as Facebook's "worst crisis yet,"[5] and Zuckerberg spent days testifying in front of Congress as to what he knew about the privacy breach.[6]
Cambridge Analytica obtained Facebook users' information in 2014 and was headed by Stephen K. Bannon, Trump's former presidential advisor, at the time.[7] The firm utilized the information to profile select US voters and target them with political advertising on social media.[8] Unfortunately for Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook, these revelations come on the heels of allegations that Russian meddling in the 2016 election included the widespread distribution of fake political news on the social media platform.[9] Robert Mueller, the Justice Department's special counsel, is investigating Cambridge Analytica as part of his inquiry into Russian interference in the election.[10] Fake news, Russian election interference, and an unauthorized data breach all sound like the juicy plot of a modern Bond film, but in reality it's the stuff of Zuckerberg's, and many others', legal nightmares.
So, what exactly is "fake news"?
The Brookings Institution defines fake news as content "generated by outlets that masquerade as actual media sites but promulgate false or misleading accounts designed to deceive the public."[11] It proclaims fake news is "especially problematic" in democratic systems of government.[12] Others define fake news as "false information—purposefully deployed" that spreads quickly and persuades effectively. Many agree that if skillfully deployed, fake news may pose a "unique threat" to informed democracies,[13] compounded by the fact that social media allows anyone to post content on a multitude of online platforms with maximum ease and minimal supervision.
How pervasive is this "fake news" problem?
In 2016 alone, one media analysis found the 20 largest fake news stories, the majority of which centered around the presidential election, generated over 8.7 million shares, reactions, and comments on social media (compared to 7.4 million interactions with the top 20 stories from legitimate news sites).[14] Facebook has stated it suspects that political content from the Russian Internet Research Agency, the Russian organization involved in Mueller's latest round of indictments,[15] reached more than 125 million US citizens in the months preceding the election.[16] In its own review of the US election, Twitter revealed more than 50,000 automated accounts (known as "bots") on its site were linked to Russia.[17] Russian interference has also been linked to the 2016 Brexit vote in the United Kingdom as well as French President Emmanuel Macron's election last year.[18] Clint Watts, a fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute and senior fellow at the Center for Cyber and Homeland Security at George Washington University, warned of the coordinated efforts Russian media propaganda employs to attempt to create tension and dissent in the U.S. and other Western democracies.[19] "The goal," said Watts, "is to erode trust in mainstream media, public figures, government institutions--everything that holds the unity of the Republic together." [20]
What legal tools are available to address the spread of false political information?
In comparison to the United States, European jurisdictions have more leeway in regulating fake news or other undesirable content online. Since the 2016 US presidential election, the Brexit vote, and fears Russia backed efforts to influence both events, the European Commission has commenced the process of creating official policy guidelines on fake news which would be applicable throughout the entirety of the EU.[21] The Commission defines fake news as "intentional disinformation spread via online social platforms, broadcast news media or traditional print."[22] It plans to investigate the challenges online platforms create for democracies and implement an EU-wide strategy to protect its citizens from the spread of false information.[23]
The EU has also taken a more proactive stance than the US government in encouraging social media companies to self-regulate the content posted on their sites, including getting Facebook, Twitter, and Google to agree to new codes of conduct in 2016 that target hate speech and other undesirable content.[24]
The Commission makes a distinction between the spread of false information, which may already be illegal under existing EU or domestic laws, and fake news, which may fall outside the scope of such laws but still be applicable to regulation.[25] In stark contrast to the US, hate speech is illegal and strictly regulated throughout the EU.
Within the EU, Germany has been a pioneer in the movement to restrict the spread of false information and hate speech within its borders. Last October, a law went into effect in which Facebook, Twitter, and other social media companies could be fined up to €50 million ($57 million USD)[29] if they failed to remove illegal content from their sites within 24 hours of being notified.[30] The ban applies to "illegal, racist, or slanderous comments."[31] The law is an attempt for Germany to combat hate speech and fake news, both of which have increased with the arrival of more than a million refugees over the last several years.[32]
In France, President Emmanuel Macron plans to introduce a law combating fake news by the end of the year.[33] Specifics are not yet available, but France's legislation plans to grant judges emergency powers to remove or restrict content that appears to be fake in the sensitive time leading up to an election.[34] The law would call for more transparency for sponsored content and allow France's national media watchdog organization to combat attempts at destabilizing the election by foreign-financed media organizations. [35]
Ireland is working on a law in which using bots to influence political debate could garner a sentence of five years in jail or up to €10,000 in fines.[36] Actively promoting fake news on social media would become a punishable offense. [37] The legislation would also regulate online political advertising and require ads to contain a transparency notice stating their aim and target audience.[38] With this legislation, Ireland aims to address the rise of fake online accounts and "anti-democratic online campaigns."[39]
The UK does not yet have legislation in the works to combat fake news.[40] However, a parliamentary committee has commenced an inquiry into the online distribution of fake news and false information.[41] The committee has also threatened Facebook and Twitter with sanctions if the sites continue to reject requests to release information about possible Russian interference in the Brexit vote.[42] The UK may be pushed to the forefront of the online content regulation debate as investigations continue into Cambridge Analytica, the Facebook data privacy breach, and concerns the firm may also have been involved in the Brexit vote to leave the EU.[43]
What role can the US government play in restricting fake news?
While the EU works to combat the spread of fake news, the American government is much more limited in the actions it may take to restrict online speech. In the US, the First Amendment makes it unconstitutional for the government to infringe upon most speech, even false speech.[44] Political speech in particular is the highest form of speech protected by the Amendment.[45] In the landmark free speech case, New York Times v. Sullivan,[46] the Supreme Court held that political speech garners the highest of First Amendment protections, including speech that is potentially false.[47] Only very narrow categories of speech are unprotected by the First Amendment (and are therefore open to steadfast government regulation). These include obscenity, fighting words, and defamation.[48]
As the US government is strictly limited in the types of speech it may restrict, the private sector must assume the vast majority of the responsibility for regulating online content.[49] This self-regulation is governed by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, wherein social media sites such as Facebook and YouTube are immunized from liability arising out of content posted by their users.[50] Section 230 also delivers immunity for sites to remove objectionable content, such as fake news or hate speech, from their sites as an alternative to government regulation.[51]
Congress created this legislation in 1996 in an attempt to prevent interactive computer service providers (such as America Online, Inc. [AOL][52], a 20th-century precursor to Facebook and Twitter) from being inundated with lawsuits for content posted on their sites by third-party users because of the potential for "chilled online speech" that could result.[53] Congress endeavored to protect the Internet as a space in which political discourse was encouraged and where burdensome legislation would not restrict the Internet's burgeoning growth.[54]
The result is the Internet has become a veritable Wild West of content management in which almost anything, at least somewhere, goes: In the US, at least, each private company is able to police its own content as it pleases, without the restrictions of government regulation or the threat of defamation lawsuits looming.[55] In harmonization with First Amendment legal jurisprudence, such as the marketplace of ideas,[56] social media sites seem to take the stance that more content is better, and that restrictions on speech should be kept to a bare minimum.[57] Twitter has declared itself to be the "free speech wing of the free speech party;" Facebooks says it is "in the business of letting people share stuff they are interested in;" and Reddit promotes itself as a "free speech site with very few exceptions."[58] Such business philosophy, though mostly in line with American free speech values, is not well suited to combating the proliferation of fake news and strategic misinformation that have plagued social media platforms and American society over the past several years.[59]
The rise of fake news has made it much harder for us to trust online news sources. Although 93 percent of Americans say they receive news online, only 32 percent of Americans in 2016 said they have a "great deal or fair amount" of trust in the news (down from 53 percent in 1997).[60] Further, there exists a definitive partisan divide, as only 14 percent of Republicans in a Gallup survey said the media report the news accurately, compared to 62 percent of Democrats.[61] This stark erosion of trust in the media is problematic because, as the "fourth estate" in a democracy, traditional media performs a variety of important functions.[62] The media has been used for centuries to inform people about current events, present issues of public interest, serve as an intermediary between the government and citizens, and act as a watchdog to hold government accountable for its actions.[63] The media are indispensable to a transparent and effective political system.[64] A breakdown in public trust of the media can be seen as a breakdown in democracy itself.
So, what can we in the US do?
Any action by the American government to regulate false and misleading online content must strike a delicate balance between allowing freedom of expression and preserving the integrity of public discourse. Many press and free speech advocates argue the government has no place in regulating the fake news debate at all;[65] others argue it should be left to the companies to regulate themselves.[66] Still others call for a proactive approach in which the government works to create a legal framework through which social media websites are encouraged to monitor and restrict false political information posted to their sites.[67] Whatever avenue is chosen, one thing is clear: Facebook, fake news, and the First Amendment seem here to stay.

So, I know I've been talking a lot about what's coming out in the near future, as far as books and story collections written by me, but I think that with the noise of the internet it probably hasn't rang that clear, so let me present you with the official guide to what's coming out by me in the next few months:
Bad Dreams- (dark fantasy)
- Expected Release Date: Between late November and early December.
- Plot Summary: Bad Dreams tells the story of Johnathon Clark, a bullied teenager who decides to take his own life. He finds himself in Hell, moving up from the position of mail boy, to the giver of nightmares; the bearer of bad dreams. Now John must decide if he will do the job he's been given, punishing the sinners he's been assigned, or if he will use his dark gift for something more? Will he use it to help a young girl who needs him?
- Reason For Delay: Had some issues with the cover design, but they've been addressed and the release will be coming very soon.
Sunborn- (science fiction)
- Release Date: January 5th.
- Plot Summary: Have you ever felt alone in the world? Daniels feels that way, only it's not just a feeling, it's the simple truth. The planet has died around him, and he's all that's left in a world of ice and water. That is until something brings him to Decropolis: a city made of ice and filled with people—living people. Now Daniels must relearn how to interact with other human beings, and learn a whole new lessons in what mankind is capable of when all the rules have been broken. Can Daniels survive the war that's coming? A war brewing beneath the ground.
Dick and Henry: The Space Saga-(science fiction)
Release Date: January 5th.
Plot Summary: Dick Shannon is a transport pilot for the interplanetary corporation Micro Grocer. His job is to deliver fresh vegetables from MG harvest planets to MG silo stations. The job is interesting enough, it pays the bills, and leaves him with enough cash left over to save for the dream home back on planet Earth. The only problem is the company is damn cheap and refuses to hire outside help. Every time something goes wrong on a station or a harvest planet Dick seems to be in the neighborhood, and he and his harvest bot, HN-R3—who he refers to as Henry—are required to investigate the issue. Whether it be missing employees, a fallen tower, or a mysterious robot wedding, Dick and Henry are always there, and they're always doing their best to solve the case.
So that's what I have planned for the next few months. All of the above titles are written, and you can get a sample reading of one of Dick and Henry's adventures HERE. But just because I have several titles completed, doesn't mean I'm slowing production. I'm currently working on the sequel to Sunborn, and when finished with Sunborn II (actual title to be announced after the release of Sunborn) I will begin work on a Dick and Henry novel, to which the short story collection will lead directly into.
Feel free to sound off in the comments below, let me know which story sounds the most exciting to you, and what type of fiction you'd like to see me write in the future.

The ballot issue was decency: would the brand of Trump-Bannon-Moore indecency triumph over the common interests of Alabamians and Americans. A coalition of mainly urban, campus, and African-American voters registered a historic No! They turned out to vote in large numbers and that made the margin of victory, electing the first Democratic Party Senator in Alabama in a generation.
There are two modes of politics, the appeal to hate and division and the appeal to the common interest. Trump and Bannon represent the former. There is no doubt of its power in the short term to create an atmosphere of fear, loathing, and division that triggers an almost blind obedience to authority among roughly a quarter of the population, Trump's so-called base. In the long, the politics of hate brings tragedy.
The venom that Trump and Bannon have unleashed is terrifying, especially with a President who is psychologically impaired and perhaps in early stages of dementia. According to many psychologists, he likely suffers from anti-social personality disorder, including sociopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism. The greatest risk is a nuclear war with North Korea unleashed by Trump's arrogance, ignorance, and diminished capacity.
While Trump's approval ranking hovers around 35 percent, far below a majority, and is in a gradual, long-term decline, his ability to do profound damage follows from two truths. The Republican Party majority in Congress is prepared to push through votes for powerful lobbies (the ultra-rich, Big Oil, Wall Street, the Military-Industrial Complex) despite strong public opposition; and even more frighteningly, Trump has enormous individual authority to unleash war, only very weakly constrained by Congress, the rule of law, and procedural constraints.
Can decency hold? Not only in Alabama yesterday but in Virginia last month and in many other local and state elections, the answer seems to be Yes, if the bully pulpit can be wrestled away from the bully for long enough for common sense and the common interest to prevail. Most Americans want peace, not war, and are against the bullying, misogyny, handouts to the rich, environmental destruction, and other political pathologies of this moment.
Opinion surveys show time and again that Americans are dividing roughly two-thirds for the common interest versus one-third for some narrow lobbying interest. Americans want to turn away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy. Americans want higher taxes on the rich and the corporations. American want active and responsible participation in the UN and other global institutions. Indeed, according to a recent Pew Survey, less than 10 percent of Americans fall into the nationalist, America First camp of Trump and Bannon.
My colleagues and I have proposed a set of seven goals for our nation for the year 2030 to help build a clear national movement for the common good. America's Goals transcend partisan politics; they call for unity rather than division; and they can be a rallying point for elections and for public policy. Other nations are similarly adopting Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 as a shared framework for the common good.
America's Goals were given a first try in the elections for the Virginia House of Delegates in November. The political movement Future Now supported ten candidates to the House of Delegates who adopted America's Goals as their firm pledge for the future. All ten of these candidates running on the platform of America's Goals won their elections, bring new consensus-based, forward-looking candidates into key elected positions. Politicians and first-time candidates around the United States are now endorsing America's goals as a framework for the common good.
Decency won in Alabama and can win across America. We Americans share a common interest, expressed by America's Goals. When we are active in politics and turn out to vote in large numbers, decency beats hate, consensus beats division, and America can find the path to a smart, fair, and sustainable future.

When I'm having a lazy day, one of my favourite things to do is to curl up on the couch with a pot of tea and flick through recipe books. I also, like many of you who are also home cooks, have folders filled with recipes torn out of magazines, and I love to also flick through these, sometimes wondering why I haven't yet tried a particular recipe, and then for others, wondering why the hell I kept it or tore it out in the first place.
The below recipe is one I've had for quite a while and never managed to make.
That is until now....
Chocolate Orange Kisses
Donna Hay Magazine (date unknown)
These delicious and might I add oh so simple to make little beauties accompanied my Bitter Chocolate Meringue Tart to work for my birthday (see here).
Chewy sticky meringue with a subtle burst of orange chocolate. An amazing combination of flavours and a very pretty treat to look at....kinda like me....hehe
Told you I'd be celebrating all month!

Raise your hand if you enjoy conflict. Do you love fighting with your siblings, your kids, your partner, or people at work?
No hands? Yeah. I didn't think so. Me either!
Nobody "enjoys" feeling stressed, attacked, unheard, or unappreciated.
Yet squabbling and fighting happens all the time, in small ways and big ways, too.
From couples bickering in the grocery store, to nations waging war against one another, "conflict" has always been part of the human experience.
But if nobody "enjoys" fighting, why do we do it so often?
One man, the late Marshall Rosenberg, a communication expert and author who started the "non-violent communication" movement, believes that conflicts arise when one (or both) people feel stressed because one (or more) of their emotional needs are not being met.
Think about the last time you felt upset with someone. Like… that telemarketer who kept pitching unwanted offerings to you, interrupting your dinnertime, even though you already said, "No thank you." Or the babysitter who showed up late (again). Or that colleague who bungled up a project, leaving you to clean up the mess.
In each situation, you felt upset because one of your emotional needs was not being met. Like… your need for peace and quiet. Your need for organization and order. Your need for a weekend without any unexpected work heaped onto your plate. Or maybe, on a deeper level, your need to feel seen, heard, and respected not ignored.
When you feel upset, before you do or say anything that you might later regret—Marshall encourages you to pause and ask yourself, "What emotional need is going unmet right now? How could I express that need and hopefully get it met?"
These are great questions because they can help us to investigate stressful situations with curiosity, rather than trying to resolve conflict from a "combative" or "reactive" place, which obviously doesn't work.
Here is a script based on Marshall's non-violent communication principles:
When I [see / hear / have / think about / find out that] ________, I feel ________.
What I need is ________.
Would you be willing to ________?
Here's an example of how you could take that script and apply it to a real-life situation:
When I see that the sink is overflowing with dirty pots and pans, I feel frustrated because I'm very hungry and I was looking forward to cooking a nice meal for us tonight. But now it's going to be more difficult and take longer because all the items that I need are dirty.
What I need is a bit more support around the house, especially when I have a long, 12-hour workday, like today. It would feel great if we divided up chores more equally and I'd love for us to come up with a new plan together.
Would you be willing to handle those dishes while I take a quick shower? Then I'll get started on dinner. Thank you.
In this example, you're not saying, "YOU never do any housework! YOU are so lazy and selfish!" Instead, you're describing how you feel and how your needs could be met (using "I…" phrases), without lashing out angrily and making it somebody's "fault."
By following this script, or something similar, you can express your feelings, express your needs, and even propose a potential solution to whatever issue is bothering you without placing "blame" or "criticism" on anyone's shoulders. This can open the doorway to a productive conversation instead of a screaming match (or the equally unpleasant "silent treatment.")
As lifelong conflict hater and conflict avoider, this is definitely something that I am still actively "learning."
Is there some kind of conflict in your life (something new or something that's been going on for years) that you could approach in a new way?
Do some work on your own to identify which of your emotional needs are going unmet. Write out a script for yourself. Then practice saying it aloud a few times to see if you can find a calm, non-defensive tone. Then… try it out!
Wishing you a very swift and healthy resolution…
~ Dr. Sue

On June 21, 2016, the FDIC issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to remove and modify references to credit ratings with respect to permissible activities for certain foreign banking organizations, consistent with section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Act and the FDIC's authority under section 5(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Specifically, the proposed rule amends subparts A and B of the FDIC's international banking regulations (12 C.F.R. Part 347). The proposed rule would delete references in Subpart A to nationally recognized statistical rating organization credit ratings in the definition of "investment grade" and replace such references with alternative standards for determining the creditworthiness of securities and other financial instruments. Subpart B would be amended in a similar fashion to eliminate references to credit ratings in respect of the eligibility criteria for assets that foreign banks may pledge in order to satisfy the FDIC's asset pledge requirement. Comments on the proposed rulemaking were due by August 29, 2016.
The FDIC notice of proposed rulemaking is available at: https://www.fdic.gov/news/board/2016/2016-06- 21_notice_sum_f_fr.pdf.

CHRISMAN – Keeping the Northern Edgar County Ambulance service going is a challenge.
Money is not always adequate to keep the service moving forward, and the managing board took a step Thursday, Oct. 25, to seek outside funding to help replace dated equipment.
Board members authorized applying for a FEMA Firefighters Assistance Grant for approximately $100,000 to install new heart monitors in the two ambulances operated by NECAS.
There was also discussion about how to address damage the Unit 2 ambulance received after hitting a deer. Randall Wheeler explained the ambulance is still operable, and he considers most of the damage cosmetic, except for a horn at the front of the vehicle. The impact broke the bell on the horn and it needs replaced.
An estimate to fix the damage is $600 and board members were reluctant to file an insurance claim for just $100 since the policy has a $500 deductible.
Wheeler stated the ambulance company volunteers can likely make the needed repairs for less than $100. He said the damaged grill appears to simply need bolted back in place. The most expense is associated with purchasing a new horn, which a volunteer can install.
Board members approved the purchase of two new tires for the main ambulance.
The final item of the evening was distributing a copy of the state statute relating to the creation of a special service area or the expansion of an existing service area.
One option under consideration to create more financial stability for NECAS is annexing into the special service area that taxes to assist ambulance service for seven townships in southern Edgar County.
Board president Kevin Julian asked the others to review the statute for discussion at the November meeting.

It would be easy enough to wave off all Trump's mangled syntax and say, well, we all know what he meant. But that's a real problem; this man is setting the example for our young. One lesson any young American watching this surreal circus act would internalize is that words — like the thoughts they are supposed to represent — just don't matter.
It's happened again this morning. Trump tweeted, "The Senate must go to a 51 vote majority instead of the current 60 votes. Even parts of full Repeal need 60. 8 Dems control Senate. Crazy!"
For starters, "51 vote" should probably be hyphenated; if we're talking about "parts," then what is "full" doing here; "Repeal" shouldn't be capitalized; and it's bad form to start a sentence with a numeral. But let's not nitpick.
Trump's first sentence is a real mathematical doozy. It starts out reasonably enough: 51 votes is indeed a majority in the Senate, although it's unclear what he means by "go to." But Trump continues, still apparently referring back to the word majority, to decry "the current 60 votes." The current 60 vote . . . what? Without any new referent being identified, we're left with the only referent that was previously identified in the sentence: majority.
So what Trump has said here, by any fair reading, is that the Senate should adopt a 51-vote majority instead of its current 60-vote majority. The problem, quite obviously, is that the 60-vote threshold Trump is referring to is not a majority-vote requirement, but the supermajority vote required for cloture under Senate rules. So what he meant to say was that the Senate, instead of requiring a 60-vote supermajority to proceed to business, should proceed by a bare majority vote, that being 51 out of 100. (Put simply, it doesn't take 60 to reach a majority when the total number of votes available is 100. And the Senate doesn't have to "go to a 51-vote majority," because it's already there.)
But Trump couldn't pull it off. Was that because he's so cognitively impaired that he didn't realize that 60 out of 100 isn't the threshold for a mere majority, or was it because he's too intellectually lazy to care? My guess is that it's the latter. And what an example that sets for the generation coming up in these times.

{ Mara + Matthew }
I adore these two!
You might remember them from this session...
We wanted to create a fun Valentine's story for Mara's blog and I just happened to drive by this amazing "LOVE" wall and I knew Mara would LOVE it!
(Pun intended!)
Funny thing is, she already had the same place and mind! Great minds think alike!
After a little research, I found out the campaign is called "Love Me" by a New York City artist, Curtis Kulig.
There are a couple installations around LA and I have another photo story coming your way this weekend...
I just couldn't get enough of it!

Sure, weddings are romantic and joyful. But between buying a gift, finding something to wear and traveling to the event, the cost of attendance adds up fast. According to one spending survey, the average wedding guest will end up shelling out an average of $628 for someone else's "big day," and that number is even higher if you're a member of the wedding party.
But if you're smart about how you spend on gifts, clothes and travel, you can avoid busting your budget. These pro hacks will help you shave expenses without running afoul of the etiquette police.
Save On Flights
Whether you're headed to Ocho Rios or Oshkosh, try these smart travel moves from Travelzoo's Gabe Saglie.
- If you need to fly to the nuptials, start tracking fares as soon as you receive the "Save the Date." You're likely to find the best deals two to three months before the big day. Compare flights to and from alternative or smaller airports, which are usually served by low-cost airlines.
- Be flexible on your travel days. Flying to leisure destinations is usually cheapest on weekdays; fares to business hubs (like New York City and Chicago) typically dip on weekends.
- Pack a carry-on to avoid bag-checking fees.
- Use airline miles or credit card points you've accumulated toward your ticket.
Save On Hotels
- Don't assume that the block of rooms reserved by the couple for a discounted rate is the cheapest option. Compare neighboring hotels and short-term home rentals. For maximum savings, split accommodations with friends or family.
- Unlike airfares, hotel deals are usually found closer to your arrival date. To play it safe, reserve a refundable hotel room early, then look for a lower rate a week or so before the event. (Large hotels typically offer a one- to seven-day free cancellation window.)
- You may also be able to use miles or points for your hotel.
Save On Car Rentals
- Bundle your car rental with your flight and hotel to see if it yields a better rate.
- If you can, avoid getting the car at the airport, where it's more expensive.
- Split the car with other guests; just make sure the rental contract allows everyone to drive it.
- Check your auto insurance coverage: You may be able to decline the expensive car-rental insurance. (Read more about how your auto insurance may cover rental cars.)
Save On Gifts
Etiquette expert Lee Cordon of Do Say Give offers the following ways to save without looking stingy.
- Shop the registry early, before all the mid-range gifts are snapped up. Only random kitchen items left? Add matching aprons and gourmet pancake mix for a lovely, curated gift that meets your budget. You can also opt for a gift card.
- Round up pals and go in on a group present. You may be able to give a "wow" gift without blowing your budget—a wedding win-win.
- If you're spending a significant amount to attend a destination wedding, it's perfectly acceptable to give a smaller gift, such as handcrafted luggage tags or a bottle of wine that will be at its best on a future anniversary.
- Offer your talents or skills. Perhaps you can address envelopes, tailor wedding attire, put together the wedding album or edit the wedding video.
- Remember that gifts don't have to be expensive to be meaningful. Pair a rolling pin with a keepsake box of family recipes, or pick up a pair of robes on sale and have them monogrammed for a romantic, one-of-a-kind gift.
Save On Clothes
Style everyone in the family with these ideas from fashion pro Dianna Baros of The Budget Babe.
- Consider "something borrowed." Clothing-rental sites offer formalwear for men and women for a fraction of the cost of buying new.
- Invest wisely. If you'll be wedding-hopping this year, consider buying a lined, classic dress in a mid-weight fabric that can be layered with a cardigan or jacket. Men might pick up one or two staple suits (black and navy are classic) that fit and feel great. Change up the shirt, tie and pocket square and you'll be set for every wedding you ever get invited to.
- Bringing the kids? Check consignment stores for gently worn treasures.

Outsourcing aids many data thefts: Verizon1 min read . Updated: 02 Oct 2008, 02:47 PM IST
Outsourcing aids many data thefts: Verizon
Outsourcing aids many data thefts: Verizon
New York: The reliance of restaurant chains and retail stores on outside companies to handle credit-card processing and other information-technology functions is partly to blame for a rash of consumer data breaches over the last few years, according to data sleuths at Verizon Communications Inc.
Even a chain with thousands of restaurants might have only 100 employees in information technology, so it uses outside vendors for many IT functions, said Bryan Sartin, director of the investigative response team at Verizon Business.
Verizon's unit investigates a quarter to a third of the big, publicly announced data breaches that occur each year, and hundreds of smaller cases.
In recent years, restaurant and retail businesses have accounted for more than half of Verizon's 230 to 250 cases per year, according to a report Verizon was set to issue Thursday. It often finds that insiders at service vendors are part of the heists.
Organized data-stealing gangs "go to call centres, Web development companies, content development companies, business partners, people who pick up the backup tapes," Sartin said. "They say ... if you hate your boss and you're in financial straits, we're your solution. Give us access to your customers. Better yet, give us your data."
In a typical case Sartin was involved in, the team was approached by a large oil company in Canada, with thousands of gas stations. Customers were finding spurious charges on their credit cards after using them at the stations.
The team soon figured out that someone at a technology vendor was responsible, but couldn't pin it down. So the investigators set a trap in the system, to see who accessed customer data.
Many breaches don't happen through outsourcing. In one of the largest cases in recent years, the gang that stole 41 million credit and debit card numbers from chains including TJX Cos. obtained access through unsecured wireless networks, not through subcontractors' systems.
Still, Verizon's report advises companies to keep a tighter rein on contractors, including by limiting partners' access to only the data they need.

Planning to retire? Four question to ask yourself
Planning to retire? Four question to ask yourself
For everyone seeking something meaningful in retirement – which lasts, on average, 18 years – planning, and some compromise, may be necessary
Retiring to play golf isn't the draw it once was.
In a 2014 survey in the United States, 72 per cent of employees over the age of 50 reported that they would like to continue working in retirement.
That's partly a response to a need to compensate for diminished savings, but it is also about personal and professional fulfilment.
For everyone seeking something meaningful in retirement – which lasts, on average, 18 years – planning, and some compromise, may be necessary.
Here are four key questions to ask as you consider your next act.
1 How much money do you need to earn?
If making a certain amount of money is mandatory for your retirement plans, that comes first. You're more likely to need to continue working full-time, and you may need to stick close to the field you spent your career in.
2 How much location independence do you want?
If you want to balance work with travel, or you would like to spend winters somewhere else, you need to cultivate a location-independent second act.
Perhaps you could choose a job that only operates part of the year or that can be done remotely.
3 How radical a change are you seeking?
If you're still interested in your current field, you could discuss the possibility with your current employer of transitioning from a full-time position to a consultant role.
Alternately, you may have other industry contacts who would also like to hire you as a consultant.
If you want to leave your field and make a bolder change, start laying the groundwork early.
4 How can you test-drive your future career?
The earlier you start planning, the more time you have to experiment and try new directions on the side. – (Copyright Harvard Business Review 2016)

Therap Interface Aligned with CMS's Conflict-Free Case Management Initiatives
Disability software offers tools for targeted case management and managed care for the I/DD and LTSS community
Apr 18, 2016, 11:30 ET
WATERBURY, Conn., April 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Therap Services has released an interface to support conflict free case management in states that offer targeted case management and managed care. According to CMS's policies on conflict free case management, provider agencies that offer case management would not be involved in providing direct services or developing person centric service plans. Therap's case management functionalities allow case managers to view data of the individuals that they are supporting across different service providers They can view documentation created by day and residential providers outside of their own agency with the help of a set of access privileges assigned by the State.
The Therap interface comes with a multi purpose design that allows for case managers to view information recorded for individuals they support at other service provider agencies, and also record documentation on individuals within their own managed care organization (MCOs). The case management features allows for case managers to set their own access privileges to sort the data that is relevant to them and unique to the individuals they support. The Therap case management software allows to view person centric data including service plans, individualized notes, incident reports, medication administrations and an assortment of health records ranging from doctor's appointments and scheduled lab tests to immunizations and active allergies.
Therap brings a level of communication and transparency to conflict free case management with the new case management tools. The interface has already seen multiple statewide implementation and is ready to meet the case management needs of other transitioning states who are aligned with the policies of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

Good luck and have fun!

I have had more time to play games in Japanese arcades and have run across a few more interesting titles.
Tetris Plus 2: This is a fun Japanese only spin-off of Tetris. In the Puzzle Mode, you get to control either a Professor or her Apprentice through Tetris levels with a bit of a twist: you have to make the Tetris board completely empty in the time limit. Your cartoon avatar runs arounds the blocks as you make lines and a spiked wall tries to crush you as the time limit goes down-- the higher your blocks are, the more your avatar wants to climb to the top to get killed! It is a fun take on Tetris.
Just picked up the latest issue of Famitsu Weekly and I am pleased to see they are still doing some retro coverage in their 20th Anniversary sections. The supplementary booklet this time around focuses on games from 1998-2005 with less detail than in the previous issue, but it's still interesting for a glance at what games were popular in Japan.
The Games History section focuses on a variety of sports genres in video games, giving several examples of each. It makes me want to buy a better Japanese dictionary when I get home so I can try some translating, although my Japanese grammar skills aren't great! Among the more curious types of sports games mentioned are Fishing Games and Winter Sports Games.
I am browsing the Internet right now from an Internet Cafe in Japan and I have to say that the way they do Net Cafes over here is excellent.
I have sampled about 5 different Net Cafes, but the one I am in now is far and away the best: Manboo.
Despite its unfortunate name, for 200 Yen an hour you get a private cubicle, a nice leather chair, headphones, a high speed internet connection, and a big screen TV. You can check out mangas and DVDs to browse in your cubicle just like in a library.

Crypto Hacks Take $1.7 Billion in 2018
Yesterday, a rather shocking cryptocurrency anti-money laundering report was released by the crypto analytics company CipherTrace. This report states that around $1.7 billion worth of cryptocurrency was obtained illegally in 2018. What's more surprising is that crypto hacks happened three times more than in 2017. No wonder institutional investors don't want to put big money into the crypto industry yet.
Crypto Hacks Worth $1.7 Billion
Of the total stolen in 2018, over $950 million was from cryptocurrency exchanges. This is 3.6 times more than what was stolen from exchanges in 2017. The rest of the funds ($725 million) from the crypto hacks happened from things such as Ponzi schemes, exit schemes, and fraudulent ICOs.
These schemes may only be higher in volume because of the overwhelming amount of money that flooded the cryptocurrency market in 2017. By December 2017, the total cryptocurrency market was worth well over $550 billion—hitting over $800 billion in the second week of January.
This amount of money flooding into the system likely intrigued hackers and saw cryptocurrency exchanges as easy targets. ICOs were also huge money makers in 2017, and start-up companies were receiving millions in funding for just an idea. On top of pump and dumps, hackers built their own fraudulent ICOs and once funding was completed, shut down the entire website and ran.
>> BitTorrent Token (BTT) Sale Sold Out in Under 15 Minutes; Binance Crashes as a Result
Now, it seems investors are treading lightly in the cryptocurrency space and rightfully so. According to CipherTrace's report, most of the crypto hacks occurred in Q1 and Q2 of 2018. The market was worth significantly less in Q3 and Q4 of 2018—making it not as appealing for hackers. At the time of writing, the total cryptocurrency market is worth just over $115 billion.
It remains unknown at this time what will need to be in place to make institutional investors comfortable investing in digital currencies. For now, they can invest in Bitcoin Futures and ETFs—if they ever become available.

Islands of Ofu and Olosega, American Samoa
Islands of Ofu and Olosega: American Samoa's Best
Without a doubt, the islands of Ofu and Olosega are arguably the best in the American Samoa. People are most familiar with the Tutuila island when discussing about the American Samoa. Considering that it is the largest or main island of the American Samoa, this is expected. It is also the most populous, with over 50,000 people as residents. Yet even though the Tutuila island deserves to be the more known of the islands of American Samoa (a distinction that is highly relative, since not too many people know about the American Samoa just the same), the islands of Ofu and Olosega deserves to be known as Samoa's most majestic islands. Many say that this part of the Pacific can actually be the new frontier of tourism and that people would travel to the islands of Ofu and Olosega instead of more popular island destinations.
But seeing the beauty of Ofu and Olosega, this is not at all surprising too. The twin islands have a charm that only an untouched natural wonder can possess. With both islands having a combined population of less than 500 people, it isn't hard to realize why the islands have that feel. Many travel books and travel guide materials have already compared the islands of Ofu and Olosega to the Garden of Eden, the first sanctuary of man when God created the world. These islands have everything one can wish for in an island paradise: pristine beaches, lush greenlands, majestic mountains, and a community that is quiet—quite unlike life on the city or other similar tourist destinations that already have a modern, fast-paced feel. To be sure, the islands of Ofu and Olosega are not yet the modern vacation paradise one would expect from a so-called "new frontier" of tourism. In fact, there are hardly any signs that show that the islands are the "new frontier." But this doesn't make the islands less enjoyable.
The Islands of Ofu and Olosega are part of the Manu'a group of islands, which consist of Ofu, Olosega, and Ta'u. The Ta'u island is the biggest of the three, with a population of a little more than 800 people. In any case, Ofu and Olosega are connected naturally by a narrow strait. Before, to cross between islands, people had to wait for the low tide; now, there is a road bridge connecting the two islands. Of the two, Ofu is the bigger island. Ofu also houses one of the two airports in the Mano'a group of islands, as well as the only lodge in the Ofu-Olosega islands where tourists can stay, the Va'oto Lodge.
As part of the National Park of American Samoa, there are various tours that can give visitors a glimpse of the highlights of the islands. Although there seems to be lack of facilities for tourists on the islands, this doesn't make the islands of Ofu and Olosega insufficient as a tourist spot. In fact, it gives the islands character, making it unlike any other island destinations in the world. The culture of the Samoan plus the beauty of the islands make it a must-see destination.

Child Custody
Child Custody ArrangementsWritten by Michael O'Brien
The most important aspect of child custody disputes is the child. Child custody arrangements need to provide a situation that causes the least amount of stress for the children involved. This is very difficult, as divorce itself is traumatic for children. Steps should be taken to ensure their sense of being safe and being loved.
Consider the Child
Child Custody arrangements must be made in order to suit the child's life, foremost. Many parents selfishly try to bend the children's schedule to fit their own busy lives. If there is a child custody battle, and the severed couple will be living in the same town, custody is mostly an issue of visitation rights. However, if the parents plan to live far away from one another, where the child is placed is of extreme importance.
Consider the age of the child. If they are very young, they may not mind being uprooted. If they are teens, they may need to remain in an environment where they have already forged strong ties and friendships. There is much to think about regarding child custody and visitation.
Seriousness of Child Custody Arrangements
Parents must carefully evaluate the needs and, to some extent, the desires of the children involved in a custody dispute. Custody arrangements should not be taken lightly. Children should be made to feel they have some stability in their lives.

Two-year marriage to Kimberley comes to an end...
EMINEM has finally divorced his wife and former childhood sweetheart KIMBERLEY MATHERS after a tempestuous two-year marrige.
Under the settlement, the rapper will pay $1,000 a week in child support and have joint custody of his five-year-old daughter, Hailie Jade.
Eminem?s lawyer, Harvey Hauer, explained that the divorce and settlement were amicable. "It?s always been Marshall?s desire that whatever happened would happen in the best interest of the child."
Eminem married Kimberley in June 1999. The star first sought a divorce in August 2000 after his wife?s attempted suicide. Kimberley reacted by suing the rapper for a share of their joint estate and $10 million for emotional distress caused by his songs and gigs. They were briefly reconciled last December, but this March Kimberley filed for divorce for the final time.

It is also good to explain I wear latex stockings in this session. Because I am very tall latex stockings looking so beautiful on me. Latex stockings are one of my most favorite Latex Fashion.
These are good reasons of course but I should also say that I like a high style and glamour like quality makeup and outfits. It is important to make a very noble and elegant hairstyle and perfect fitting makeup. I would firstly expect this picture style in a glamour fashion magazine. I want also tell you I wear in this session some sexy platform shoes. Many of you love these shoes because it is looking very sweet on me. Maybe is the perfect schoolgirl look for you? I think platform shoes fit perfectly to this sexy latex dress.
It is a simple fact that I wear in this session a beautiful hot latex mini dress? I love to wear a tight and short mini dress like in "Delightful Bronze Beauty" because it's a big for for me to be naughty in a shooting.
