|Neoplasms (Cancer)
06/01/2013 - "With the rapidly increasing burden of preventable cancers in developing countries, efficient and feasible chemoprevention study designs and approaches, such as employed in BEST, may prove both timely and potentially beneficial in conceiving cancer chemoprevention trials in Bangladesh and beyond."
01/01/2006 - "Since most studies on these drugs were conducted on animal models or cell culture, further studies are needed to determine the efficacy of these drugs in chemoprevention of human cancers."
10/01/2011 - "Most nutritional chemoprevention agents also have the added benefit of being beneficial for the cardiovascular system, bone health and for the prevention of other cancers."
06/01/2000 - "A recent human intervention trial showed that daily supplementation with selenized yeast (Se-yeast) led to a decrease in the overall cancer morbidity and mortality by nearly 50%; past research has also demonstrated that selenized garlic (Se-garlic) is very effective in mammary cancer chemoprevention in the rat model. "
09/01/2006 - "The development of new drugs for the control of these targets that are both safe and effective will be important for the future of cancer chemoprevention."
01/01/2004 - "Chemoprophylaxis is highly effective in reducing mortality and morbidity from malaria in young children and pregnant women living in endemic areas, but is difficult to sustain and, in some studies, has impaired the development of naturally acquired immunity. "
01/01/2015 - "Seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) has been shown to be highly efficacious against clinical malaria in areas where transmission is acutely seasonal. "
02/01/2013 - "Although directly observed therapy is still the gold standard of malaria chemoprophylaxis, use of cellular telephone texting technology, or SMS, for communicating ingestion may be the best alternative for reasonable accountability in the deployed setting, especially considering the highly decentralized nature of this and other deployment locations."
01/01/2012 - "Seasonal malaria chemoprevention, previously known as intermittent preventive treatment in children, is highly effective in areas with a short malaria transmission season. "
10/01/1998 - "Yet, most of travelers' diseases such as malaria cannot be prevented by vaccination and appropriate preventive measures (chemoprophylaxis and protection against insects) should be taken."
|Breast Neoplasms (Breast Cancer)
06/17/2004 - "Further studies are warranted to elucidate the efficacy of chemoprevention in women at a very high risk of breast cancer, e.g. "
07/01/2013 - "These barriers include the inability to accurately predict future breast cancer diagnosis at the individual level, the need for improved understanding of when to implement interventions, uncertainty with respect to optimal duration of treatment, and negative side effects associated with currently approved chemoprevention therapies. "
11/01/2006 - "Positive results of several recent clinical trials for preventing breast cancer in high-risk populations suggest that chemoprevention is a rational and attractive strategy."
12/01/2015 - "Undoubtedly, novel treatment strategies are needed for chemoprevention of high-risk women and for the treatment of receptor-negative breast cancer. "
02/01/2014 - "Undoubtedly novel treatment strategies are needed for chemoprevention of high risk women and for the treatment of receptor negative breast cancer. "
09/01/1994 - "These data indicate that chemoprophylaxis is highly effective in preventing primary PCP and improving survival time in infants with human immunodeficiency virus-1 infection."
01/01/2007 - "However, the QFT test was not helpful for reducing the indication of chemoprophylaxis because the infection rates were very high in our case. "
10/01/2003 - "Further study in larger populations is needed to explore whether antifungal chemoprophylaxis or other strategies may be effective in preventing fungal infection in high-risk neonates. "
01/01/2014 - "These negative effects of Peretinoin on HCV infection may be beneficial in addition to its potential for HCC chemoprevention in HCV-infected patients. "
08/01/1999 - "Intrapartum chemoprophylaxis has resulted in a significant reduction of group B Streptococcus neonatal infection. "
|Prostatic Neoplasms (Prostate Cancer)
03/01/2006 - "At this time, nothing has been proven effective as chemoprevention against clinically significant prostate cancer."
01/01/2002 - "There are a number of moderate to high-risk cohorts and clinical models of primary and secondary prevention that can be employed in both short-term developmental (translational) trials for proof of biologic activity and in intermediate sized longer-term chemoprevention trials for proof of efficacy against prostate cancer. "
04/01/2001 - "In addition to the higher incidence of prostate cancer among African Americans compared with other populations, the mortality of prostate cancer among this high-risk population is significantly greater than 100% compared with other populations, thus further demonstrating the need for chemoprevention in this target population. "
03/01/2011 - "Improvement in the cost-effectiveness of chemoprevention for prostate cancer could be realized through the identification of patients at higher risk. "
10/20/2000 - "Television and news print media are effective in recruiting potential participants in a prostate cancer chemoprevention trial."

Town Hall reporter KEN LEE on the latest dropped bollock by the council's administration
Jo Negrini, the Croydon Council chief executive, has refused to answer questions about her failure to have published promptly the papers for tonight's annual meeting in the Town Hall chamber.
The agenda, list of appointments and other paperwork for council meetings is routinely supposed to be made available at least seven days before the meeting takes place.
The paperwork for the first meeting of the new administration only appeared on the council's website this afternoon, less than six hours before tonight's event.
The agenda includes a move for the council to conduct a review of the allowances paid to its 70 councillors.
Between them, Croydon's councillors receive a grand total of £1,456,862 per year in payments from the council, the highest figure paid out among all London boroughs.
While many councillors receive only the basic allowance of £11,239, council leader Tony Newman receives the most, £53,223, and a slew of his closest colleagues, his cabinet, each receive more than £40,000 per year.
Croydon Council has not increased its allowances paid to councillors since 2010. The council claims to take its lead from the Labour-dominated London Councils organisation, which in January published a review of the allowances system where their report said, "The basic allowance is now less than the allowances paid by many similar authorities outside London. In Wales, for example, the government appointed commission sets the basic allowance at £13,400 for members of local authorities with populations which are generally substantially lower than those of London boroughs.
"However we reluctantly accept that, in the current financial climate, it would be inappropriate to recommend a general increase in members' allowances (beyond the annual updating). Pegging an annual increase to staff pay awards will ensure that councillors can receive annual increases which are in line with those received by staff. We therefore recommend that the Basic Allowance be set at £11,045. We believe that it remains sensible to frame recommendations which are common across London."
Clearly, that recommendation puts the members' basic allowance at less than Croydon's councillors already receive.
Intriguingly, though, when the London Councils' report turned its attention to the pay for council leaders, they have set the amount at £57,085 – which would be a significant hike for Newman.
Negrini and Newman today failed to respond to questions from Inside Croydon about the reasons for the delay in publishing the paperwork ahead of the annual meeting. It could well be due to the usual level of incompetence at Croydon Council, following the Children's Services scandal, the failure to build a single council home in four years, or the balls-up at the local election count – or in Croydon's case, a mis-count.
But given the pending allowances review and London Councils' recommendations, might the agenda papers have been withheld deliberately to avoid public scrutiny over any possibility that the council leader might be about to get an inflation-busting 7.5 per cent pay increase?

Saturday 30th May 2020 7th Sivan 5780
Exodus 19:1 – 20:23; Ezekiel 1:1 – 28, 3:12; John 4:10-24
Shavuot (Pentecost) was, originally, an agricultural holiday, celebrating the first harvest/fruit by bringing offerings (Bikkurim-ביכורים) to the Temple in Jerusalem. Following the destruction of the second Temple and the resulting exile in 70 AD – which raised the need to entrench Torah awareness in order to avoid spiritual and physical oblivion – Shavuot became a historical/religious holiday of the Torah.
Shavuot is celebrated by decorating homes and houses of worship with Land of Israel-related crops and flowers, demonstrating the 3,500 year old connection between the Land of Israel (pursued by Abraham), the Torah of Israel (transmitted by Moses) and the People of Israel (united by David).
Shavuot is the holiday of humility, as befits the Torah values, Moses ("the humblest of all human beings), the humble Sinai desert and Mt. Sinai, a modest, non-towering mountain. Abraham, David and Moses are role models of humility and their Hebrew acronym (Adam – אדמ) means "human-being." Humility constitutes a prerequisite for studying the Torah, for constructive human relationships and a prerequisite to effective leadership.
Shavuot – a spiritual holiday – follows Passover – a national liberation holiday: from physical liberation (the Exodus) to spiritual liberation/enhancement (the Torah), in preparation for the return to the Homeland.
The holiday has 7 names:
The fiftieth (חמישים),
Harvest (קציר),
Giving of the Torah (מתן תורה),
Shavuot (שבועות),
Offerings (ביכורים),
Rally (עצרת) and
Assembly (הקהל).
The Hebrew acronym of the seven names is "The Constitution of the Seven" – חקת שבעה. Shavuot reflects the centrality of "seven" in Shavuot and Judaism. The Hebrew root of Shavuot (שבועות) is the word/number Seven (שבע – Sheva), which is also the root of "vow" (שבועה – Shvuah), "satiation" (שובע – Sova) and "week" (שבוע – Shavuah).
Shavuot is celebrated 7 weeks following Passover. The Sabbath is the 7th day of the Creation in a 7 day week. The first Hebrew verse in Genesis consists of 7 words. The 7 beneficiaries of the Sabbath are: you, your son and daughter, your male and female servants, your livestock and the stranger.
There are 7 key Jewish/universal leaders – Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Aharon, Joseph and David – are commemorated as distinguished guests (Ushpizin in Hebrew) during the Tabernacle holiday, representing the 7 qualities of the Torah.
7 generations passed from Abraham to Moses. There are 7 species of the Land of Israel (barley, wheat, grape, fig, pomegranate, olive and date/honey. In Hebrew, number 7 represents multiplication (שבעתיים–Shivatayim. Grooms and Brides are blessed 7 times – Sheva B'rachot.
There are 7 major Jewish holidays (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Tabernacles, Chanukah, Purim, Passover and Shavuot. The Three Pilgrimage Festivals Pesach, Shavuot and Sukkot themselves total 7 biblical festivals). There are 7 continents and 7 oceans and major seas in the globe; 7 world wonders; 7 notes in a musical scale; 7 days of mourning over the deceased; 7 congregants read the Torah on each Sabbath; 7 Jewish Prophetesses (Sarah, Miriam, Devorah, Chana, Abigail, Choulda and Esther); 7 gates to the Temple in Jerusalem; 7 branches in the Temple's Menorah; and 7 Noah Commandments.
Moses' birth and death day was on the 7th day of Adar. Jethro had 7 names and 7 daughters. Joshua encircled Jericho 7 times before the wall tumbled-down. Passover and Sukkot (Tabernacles) last for 7 days each. The Yom Kippur prayers are concluded by reciting "God is the King" 7 times. Each Plague lasted for 7 days. Jubilee follows seven 7-year cycles. According to Judaism, slaves are liberated, and the soil is not-cultivated, in the 7th year. The number seven permeates God's kingdom!
Shavuot is the second of the 3 Jewish Pilgrimages (Passover, Shavuot – Pentecost and Sukkot -Tabernacles). Shavuot is celebrated 50 days afafter the 2nd day of Passover. It highlights Jewish Unity, compared by King Solomon to "a three folds cord, which is not quickly broken" (Ecclesiastes 4:12). The Torah – the first of the 3 parts of the Jewish Bible – was granted to the Jewish People (which consists of 3 components: Priests, Levites and Israel), by Moses (the youngest of 3 children, brother of Aharon and Miriam), a successor to the 3 Patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) and to Seth, the 3rd son of Adam and Eve.
The Torah was forged by 3 'forces':
Fire (commitment to principles)
HaShem announced His presence when fire descended on top of the mountain, as Israel was gathered around, waiting for the revelation of Torah
Water (lucidity and purity)
Israel passed through the sea (water) on dry land. This was the next stage in her liberation from oppression in Egypt
wilderness (humility and faith-driven defiance of odds)
The wilderness wandering was the place were character and trust in HaShem is forged.
Dev 8: 2-6
You are to remember all the way that Adonai your God has led you these 40 years in the wilderness—in order to humble you, to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His mitzvot or not. He afflicted you and let you hunger, then He fed you manna—which neither you nor your fathers had known—in order to make you understand that man does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of Adonai. Neither did your clothing wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these 40 years. Now you know in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Adonai your God disciplines you. So you are to keep the mitzvot of Adonai your God—to walk in His ways and to fear Him.
Empowered by Ru'ach Elohim, we are to learn that we CAN follow God's ways in the wilderness of this world, as Messiah-like character is forged in us. The wilderness is our classroom, where we are trained in righteousness.
And so, we see that the number three is also highly significant in Gamatria.
My additional thoughts on Shavuot:
We can apply the same forging in fire, water and wilderness, to Yeshua's Torah which is the deepening revelation of Torah (It is written, or, you have heard ….by I say to you..). I am going to adjust the order:
Water – Yeshua was immerse in water before the commencement of His
brief ministry on earth (lucidity and purity; the spotless Lamb of
Wilderness - immediately after His immersion in water, Yeshua was led by the
Ru'ach into the wilderness, there to face three temptations, which
He overcame by quoting Torah. Yeshua did not waiver from His
trust in His heavenly Father and His reliance upon Torah
Fire - on the day of Shavuot (Pentecost), the Spirit of God fell upon the
120 gathered together, waiting for the Promise of the Father. The
Ru'ach manifested as tongues of fire alighting upon each person.
The redemption from Egypt was incomplete without in spiritual counterpart – the giving and receiving of Torah 50 days after departing from Egypt. And, observing and doing Torah without the Ru'ach, often leads to a form of legalism. But, the Spirit without the foundation of Torah, can so easily lead to an abuse of the liberty that is ours in the Messiah! In fact, Yeshua alluded to this in Matthew, chapter 7. Let's follow Yeshua's systematic teaching on this crucial issue:
Matthew 7:14
How narrow is the gate and difficult the way that leads to life, and those who find it are few."
Matthew 7:15-16
"Watch out for false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruit
Matthew 7:21-23
Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord!' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in Your name, and drive out demons in Your name, and perform many miracles in Your name?' Then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you. Get away from Me, you workers of lawlessness {or Torahlessness}!'"
(Note: there is a margin reference to 'lawlessness' – Psalm 6:9 - 'Away from me, all you evildoers'! Many scholars and theologians are of the opinion that 'lawlessness means "workers of iniquity;" literally "you who break the law of Moses i.e. does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness'. The Ashrei of Yeshua confirms this: Matthew 5:17-19: (Sermon on the Mount) –
17) Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to
destroy but to complete. (literally = perform or restore)
18) For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one jot or one
tittle shall by no means pass from the Law till all be done.)
And so …..
Principle 1 – to truly follow the Lord is difficult and demands wholesale
commitment and dedication. It is indeed a narrow road and we can so
easily deviate from THE WAY unless we ensure that we are filled with
the Spirit, immersed in the Word and that our posture is one of
pressing on to lay hold of the prize of the upward call of God in the
Messiah (Phil 3).
Principle 2 – In the last day, many false prophets will arise, promises material
prosperity and a life of ease (they are in our midst, even within the
Body of Messiah). The Father sent the biblical prophets to call an
apostate people to make genuine teshuvah (repentance) and to return
to the 'old' way, the way of obedience to God's Torah! The biblical
prophets proclaimed judgment unless there was an inner conviction
and conversion (change of heart).
Principle 3- Signs and wonder are not in themselves evidence of Messiah's leading
and the infilling of the Spirit. Discernment and testing every spirit are
crucial. Remember, that there are those who do "lying signs and
wonders" (Mark 13:22-23 – For false messiahs and false prophets will
rise up and show signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, the
chosen. So be careful! See, I have told you everything beforehand.").
There are many ways and many gates clamouring for our attention in these perplexing times. Proverbs 14:12 - "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death".
There is great uncertainty about the future and if any semblance of 'normality' will be restored and what that 'normality' will look like. But there is one certainty: Yeshua said ""I am the way, the truth, and the life! No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6).
There is a way in the wilderness of the world – a sure way. And, in order to navigate the way of the LORD, which indeed IS a narrow way, we need the leading that is only of the Spirit of God. Rav Sha'ul proclaimed this in Ephesians 5: 16-20:
"Make the most of your time because the days are evil. For this reason do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. And do not get drunk on wine, for that is recklessness. Instead, be filled with the Ruach, speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music in your heart to the Lord— always giving thanks for everything to God the Father, in the name of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah."
Psalm 18:31-34
As for God, His way is perfect. The word of Adonai is pure. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. For who is God, except Adonai? And who is a Rock, except our God? God girds me with strength and makes my way straight. He makes my feet like those of deer and makes me stand on my heights.
Chag Sameach Shavuot!

This year, over 600 Canadian High-Needs Elementary Schools will benefit from this local fundraiser.
TORONTO, Sept. 14, 2018 /CNW/ - The Indigo Love of Reading Foundation is pleased to launch its annual Adopt a School program running from September 15 to October 7, 2018. Now in its 10th year, Adopt a School connects Indigo employees, high-needs elementary schools and their communities to fundraise locally and raise awareness about the underfunding of public Canadian elementary school libraries. All participating schools receive every dollar raised for their school and are eligible for a donation match of up to $1,200 per school from the Foundation.
Last year, the program provided over $1 million to Canadian high-needs schools for books and educational resources. This year, the Foundation will provide support to local school libraries across the country with over 600 schools signed up to participate.
"We believe that the right book at the right moment can change a child's life forever and yet too many children in high-needs elementary schools have limited access to books due to insufficient funding. All children deserve access to compelling books that can inspire them to fall in love with reading and to become engaged learners," said Ariel Siller, Executive Director of the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation.
Indigo Books & Music Inc., a proudly Canadian company committed to building literacy, founded the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation in 2004. Through the Foundation's two signature programs, Adopt a School and the Literacy Fund Grant, the Foundation aims to raise a groundswell of awareness about the lack of funding for public Canadian school libraries, while helping to put more books into the hands of children.
Current school budgets only allow for one new library book a year for every three children in many schools in economically disadvantaged communities in Canada.1 With teachers spending more than $200 million of their own money each year on books and resources2, Adopt a School aims to help provide much needed resources for schools across the country. These funds are essential to building literacy in Canada, where a shocking 30% of Grade 3 students lack basic literacy skills.3
How to get involved:
All participating schools have their own page on the online fundraising platform, adoptaschool.indigo.ca. Those interested in supporting a high-needs elementary school can donate directly to the participating school of their choice. The online platform also provides opportunities to support a local school with no donation required. When supporters share a story on a school's online page, the Foundation will donate a book to the selected school, up to 20 books for each school. In addition, online users can "heart" these stories and the top five most "hearted" stories in each province will win additional funds.
A select number of schools will also be adopted by an Indigo, Chapters, or Coles store and will receive all the donations made at that store during the program.
All participating schools benefit from a 30% discount off books at Indigo when using program donations.

Brown Shoe cuts Q3 view as Famous Footwear suffers
Oct 8, 2008
Oct 8 (Reuters) - Brown Shoe Co cut its third-quarter outlook as sales at its Famous Footwear unit fall after cash-strapped U.S. shoppers tightened their wallets amid credit woes and inflationary pressures.
The seller of shoe brands such as Naturalizer, LifeStride and Via Spiga expects third-quarter earnings of 17 cents to 20 cents a share, including costs of 22 cents a share tied to moving its Madison, Wisconsin office to St. Louis.
The company had earlier forecast earnings of 31 cents to 41 cents a share on a similar basis.
For the quarter, Brown Shoe expects net sales of about $633 million to $638 million, down from its prior outlook of $650 million to $660 million.
Analysts were expecting earnings of 33 cents a share, excluding items, on revenue of $651 million, according to Reuters Estimates.
Apparel and shoe companies have been suffering as consumers curtail spending and concentrate on essentials such as food to combat rising prices, falling home values and tighter lending conditions.
Brown Shoe saw sales at its Famous Footwear stores open for at least a year fall 7.3 percent in the five-week period ended Oct 4. It expects same-store sales at the unit to fall 4.5 percent to 5.5 percent in the third quarter.
Shares of the company closed at $12.82 Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange. (Reporting by Dhanya Skariachan in Bangalore; Editing by Pratish Narayanan)

TurboTax ATO Attack Foretells Serious Wave of Financial Fraud
Credential stuffing against one of the world's largest online finance applications yields a treasure trove of data.
Another serious account takeover (ATO) attack hit the news on June 15 when cybercriminals went after customers of Intuit, one of the world's largest online finance and accounting software companies. Numerous users of the TurboTax tax preparation software received notices that their accounts might have been taken over by fraudsters. Intuit is the parent company of TurboTax, QuickBooks, Mint, and CreditKarma. TurboTax is the leading online tax filing software, serving millions of customers. Across all its properties, Intuit serves over 100 million customers worldwide as of May 2021.
I am an Intuit customer. Fortunately, I have not been notified that my account was impacted. But I am still nervous because this attack ups the ante on previous attacks. The cybercriminals obtained not just personally identifiable information (PII) like name, address, date of birth, and social security information, but also information about income and investments. TurboTax filers input all their financial information as part of their annual filing process. Intuit also integrates its Quicken family of products as well as its Mint expense tracking with TurboTax. And since it offers an integrated authentication service and encourages the same password for all services, TurboTax users who also use Mint or QuickBooks could face ATOs on those properties as well, further exacerbating the problem. Mint, for example, tracks not only credit card spending and bank account balances but also retirement accounts, brokerage accounts and even mortgage balances.
In other words, Intuit holds a treasure trove of financial information that could be used for future attacks in multiple ways, including ATO attacks across other web and mobile apps. Cybercriminals could use all these pieces of a financial mosaic to create a synthetic identity for future fraud. To do this, criminals could use combinations of authentic and false identity data to apply for fraudulent accounts with creditors or other banks. Another possible use of the stolen data is to focus a second round of ATOs on the brokerage or bank accounts where Intuit users have high balances. Because the TurboTax ATO incident was driven by reused passwords, the chances are high that the same victims reused passwords on investment or banking accounts.
The attackers purchased the passwords and usernames — also called credential pairs — on the dark web. Fed by the rising tide of cybercrime, there are billions of credential pairs of varying quality available. The credential pairs make their way to the dark web as a way for criminals to monetize previous data breaches and skimming attacks. These attacks include Magecart exploits, where a malicious skimmer is added to the code or Javascript libraries of a commerce platform without being detected by security teams. Magecart gangs have targeted tens of thousands of online commerce applications, large and small, and have successfully compromised leading brands such as British Airways and Macy's. Other flavors of this digital skimming include formjacking, when a specific form on a web application is overlaid or modified to send data to criminals, harvesting PII.
Due to the massive inventory, ATO gangs can buy credential pairs on the dark web almost as easily as marketers can purchase business lists and contacts for email campaigns. The easy availability of credential pairs — in particular, validated pairs — is one of the main reasons why the volume of ongoing account takeover attacks continues to increase quickly. For example, PerimeterX saw ATO attempts peak at 85% of logins during September 2020. ATOs against financial service firms have spiked noticeably in the past year. Both the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Securities Exchange Commission have warned against rising ATO fraud and advised financial services firms to take more robust measures to protect their customers.
This imperative introduces a challenge for banks and brokerages. Their customers chafe against extra security measures, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA). Mandating MFA leads to increased support calls and customer complaints. But as the Intuit hack and the SEC and FBI warnings demonstrate, attackers are coming after higher-value targets. Financial services companies — and e-commerce companies in general — must balance a great online experience and security to protect customers effectively. To achieve this, online operators can elect to add the friction of MFA or other secondary checks for high-value transactions only, such as large transfers or withdrawals.
Most banks and brokerages have started doing this, and that should help reduce the risk, even if it angers some customers. Financial services firms have a few other options to ensure that their customers are not reusing passwords. These companies can subscribe to services that offer lists of compromised credentials and reject those that are reused or compromised. But, the lists can be out of date and may not be accurate, leading to coverage gaps. Financial services companies can even take the decisive step of enforcing randomly generated passwords on their site. Consumers do not like randomly generated passwords that cannot be easily remembered unless they are stored in a password wallet. The average consumer now has dozens of accounts; making each one unique creates nearly impossible-to-manage complexity.
So what should consumers do now? Consumers need to make sure they are using different passwords on every site. The best way to do this is to use a standalone password wallet, or one that is associated with a web browser. Some wallets include services that notify users when an account has been compromised and streamlines password changes. In addition, customers should consider freezing their credit reports with all three credit bureaus. This prevents anyone from opening a new account using a stolen or synthetic identity. Freezes can be temporarily lifted when a customer needs to provide credit report access for legitimate queries. Even if it injects friction, customers should opt for MFA to layer in additional security; SMS-based MFA is relatively painless, supplying a validation code that the customer can enter to pass an online login or authentication checkpoint.
For their part, businesses must watch more closely for signs that they are under an ATO assault. These signs can include surges in help desk calls, spikes in password resets and abnormal user behaviors such as thousands of login attempts on an account in a short time period. Once a security or web application team recognizes signs of an attack, they must act quickly. First, they should make sure that standard defenses like Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) are tuned to block obvious automated ATO attacks.
To counter more sophisticated attacks, security and ops teams should investigate modern defenses that leverage machine learning (ML). This new generation of tools combines intelligent fingerprinting, behavioral signals, and predictive analysis to detect fraud attacks on your web and mobile applications and API endpoints. The beauty of these solutions is that they may allow financial services companies and other e-commerce operators to rely less on blunt security instruments like MFA and build a practice of proactively identifying and blocking the vast majority of fraud attempts before they even hit the login page.
The future of automated fraud prevention and remediation is unleashing the power of ML to sift through billions and billions of application interactions to see patterns and evidence at scales and speeds beyond the capabilities of human eyes and brains. Building that future where real human customers can be quickly identified and verified based on thousands of observable data points will ensure that the vast majority of online transactions are smoother, faster, and less complicated. That same capability will allow security teams to zero in on likely bad actors with increasing accuracy and apply the most stringent checks to a smaller pool of suspicious visitors. In this future, applications will deliver the best of both worlds — a stellar experience and better security, with no compromise.

If this all seems a stretch too far, another great option is to sell tickets for the national lottery in order to raise money for your end of year travels.
You would be surprised at the people that would be interested in having a personalised calendar made for them with photos of their friends. Copying them doesn't cost much, however there is a lot of work involved. Just make sure that by producing them for your friends, it will definitely benefit you financially and will be a worthwhile task. It is all worth it for your end of year travels!
Without a doubt the preferable option for all students who pride themselves on being party animals and want to fund their end of year travels. If you are already the one who organises, or the one to go to when a party is being organised, another party it won't hurt anyone- especially if it is going to earn you a little bit of extra money. Get together with your group of friends so that it's a big social event, even if financially you have to check how much you are being remunerated. Parties in departments are also always successful and a great way to fund your end of year travels.
Probably the most hair-brained idea, but there are platforms in which you can put an objective with a promotional video that may help you to get money from those who watch and are consequently interested enough to offer money and raise for your end of year travels. If you offer a reward in exchange for a donation, most charitable souls will extend the amount that they're willing to give to your cause. For example:
- Donate 10 euros to charity
- With a 15 euro donation, they receive a free t -shirt
- With a 50 euro donation, the prize improves and they get a ticket to a concert etc.
The end show in itself will be spectacular. Organising productions and talent shows at university have always been a task for those in final year. Cheap entry in exchange for seeing friends and professors making themselves look ridiculous. Lots will get involved in the karaoke that you have provided and you can motivate yourself in the knowledge that the money that you collect will fund your travels.
Why not clear out your clutter; jumpers that you don't use anymore and toys that for years haven't been used for anything. But for a reasonable price, they will certainly be useful to others! Organising jumble sales for charity has always been something associated with the church. You are not exactly Mother Theresa, but her travels didn't cost an arm and a leg like yours. So go and have a good clear out and raise money for your end of year travels.
Good luck with your end of year travels and have fun!

DC Comics Recreates Harvey Dent As Donald Trump – Making Gotham Golden Again
Yesterday saw the release of the new DC Bombshells digital chapter by Marguerite Bennett, Pasquaa Wualano, Wendy Broome and Wes Abbott. I've been increasingly impressed by Marguerite's work, specifically on Insexts and Angela: Queen Of Hel. And, with a post-Deadpool greater acceptance of fourth wall breaking right now, she's probably doing that better than anyone else right now, even if (and possibly because) if makes certain folk angry.
There's a bit of that here as well. Oh and recreating Harvey Dent as Donald Trump, of course. In an attack not only on his politics and showmanship, but also on the kind of readers who have a nostalgia for an age of comic books that never really was and would be incredibly irrelevant if recreated now.
See yes, it's a bit meta. Which is why that starts with a bit of lampshading…
Yup! It's a heavy handed but uncomfortable timely political allegory! Take it away!
For those who need the reminded, Harvey Dent is Batman villain Two-Face, whose half-scarred face reflects a deeply set duality in the man, who makes decisions based on the flip of a coin, one half of which is horribly scarred too.
Just in case you needed to remind yourself which two-faced politician they were targeting in particular..
The only other thing he needs is a baseball cap with that on it.
Well, that's for the Batgirls to wear. You know, with their baseball bats. This is DC Bombshells after all.
DC Bombshells is available on ComIXology now.

Sony Twisted the Knife, but Microsoft May Have Shot Itself in the Foot (Nasdaq)
In the video game industry, the consumer almost always speaks loudly and clearly. When questions are fired, companies need to have answers, lest they face the wrath of gamers scorned. If no good answer comes to mind, though, it may be worth thinking one through before speaking. Unfortunately, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) Don Mattrick, the president of interactive entertainment business for the company, took another route when it came to addressing gamers' concerns that the Xbox One requires a constant Internet connection, allowing for only a 24-hour period of offline play before games become unplayable.
Microsoft says used games will work on Xbox One (News-Journal)
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)'s upcoming Xbox One gaming console will be able to play used games, clearing up a worry among gamers and video game retailers such as GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME), which trade in used games. That means video games discs users buy will not be limited to one Xbox One device, and players can share or trade in the games they have bought for other used games, just as they have been able to do in the past. Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) said in a blog post Thursday that it will not charge a fee to retailers, publishers or gamers for transferring their old games.

Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC), and Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ:ORCL) all sent representatives to Beacon Hill Wednesday to press Massachusetts lawmakers for more computer science classes in the state's public schools. The companies have thrown their support behind the newly formed Massachusetts Computing Attainment Network, or MassCAN, to advocate for Massachusetts to require computer science classes as early as eighth grade and introduce new computing standards and course work for high school students. …The effort is also backed by about a half-dozen statewide technology industry groups, such as the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council and the Massachusetts Business Roundtable.
Sony takes on Microsoft, prices new PS4 below Xbox One (DNAIndia)
PlayStation 4 console $100 lower than the new Xbox One by rival Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) as competition for gamers' pockets intensifies ahead of the year-end holidays and gift-giving season. Sony Corporation (ADR) (NYSE:SNE) said it would sell the latest PlayStation model for $399 late in the year shortly after Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) announced a $499 price tag for its first new Xbox in eight years and said it would go on sale in the United States in November. Sony Corporation (ADR) (NYSE:SNE) also drew cheers from the audience at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles when it said the PS4 would run second-hand games and did not require an always-on Internet connection.

Sleeping with the enemy
Women on TV are glorifying men with criminal tendencies against their spouses or girlfriends, on one popular talk show after the other. Is there a hidden message behind all this, or is it just a simple "ratings" game? Do we really love men who beat us? Do we really fall in love with the tough guy who hits us? Get real.
In times of social and economic hardship, women tend to look to the strong guy. It is the basic instinct in us that tells us to survive. When we fear there will be unrest on the street, when we lose sleep over our children's futures, we search for a partner who will protect us. But after 80 years of women's struggle for economic and political independence in this country, no woman will yield to a man who is less than her.
The bar is raised for men, and that is the challenge. They have too much to worry about now. Life at work is hard, and living in big city is every day a survival game in a jungle. And sometimes women do not find the right partner that will keep them comfortable and happy. But what are they doing in the meantime? Turkish men want their spouses to be beautiful and caring women, good cooks, great housekeepers and excellent mothers. How are we supposed to fall into these roles constantly with equal finesse, and not complain?
A great friend and a former war correspondent from Bosnia, Şerif Turgut, was shocked about what she saw on Seda Sayan's popular daytime talk show, in which Sayan hosted a man who killed two of his five previous wives and was almost proud about it. She posted on Twitter as @Ljiljantr: "The guy with a knife, the one with the screwdriver, all walk free. The message from the state: We are normalizing violence, so that you get used to the things that will eventually happen." Her words should send shivers down the spine of every man and woman.
My dear Şerif knows all too well that when civil war breaks out, women become targets. It is no surprise for her to see Yazidi women forced to change their religions or be raped by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). She has seen, heard and reported so many horror stories in Bosnia that it is almost a déjà vu experience for her. She also wrote on Twitter that when ultra-religious fighters from Chechnya and the Arab Peninsula came to fight in Bosnia, they were ordered to take part in the organized militia or go home. A team of Bosnian soldiers executed the mercenaries who refused to obey these orders. "In the Bosnian war 50,000 women were raped and 10 percent of the population died, yet people did not want these head-chopping psychos," she wrote.
Another friend of mine, who was a soldier for a long time, said this about the civil war in Iraq a while ago: "First you lose a town, then you lose a city, after that a region … And then goes the entire country." He continued, sadly, "Then goes your love and your purity and chastity."
What Şerif Turgut wrote while watching Seda Sayan opened my eyes to a larger emerging truth. We in Turkey may be blinded by TV dramas, game shows and political debate every day. But the war on our borders is closer than we think, and it may even hit our bedrooms, our love lives and our loved ones.
Before this civil war becomes our war, we all should think again and create a new space for women and men to live together. Before the storm hits our very own neighborhood, we should caress and hold each other with compassion.
To love a man is a difficult task, but to love oneself is even harder. Every woman should start within.
Despite what Pat Benatar says so incredibly, love is not a battlefield. Neither should it be a talk show related to murder cases.

C# is a powerful and simple general-purpose programming language. It is an object-oriented language, implying objects are created via classes and will have various ranges or visibilities in the development environment. Understanding the default visibilities of classes, nested classes and members is crucial for creating efficient code as per the specified requirements.
A class is the building block of C#. It is used to form object(s), and functions are performed on them which form the base of the whole program or software. The class is what defines the meaning, i.e., the type and scope of the object, and serves as a blueprint. The instance of a class is
object. Other concepts associated with a class are its methods (grouped statements that perform a particular function) and variables (a name given to storage area depending on its type).
Start by mentioning the keyword
Class and then the name of the class. The class body is defined by curly braces, as in the example below:
1<access specifier> class ClassName {
2 // Defining the class, members and variables
Other than the basic declaration, there are some additional attributes that can be specified along with the class definition according to your need.
:. It is allowed for a class to implement more than one interface.
To familiarize yourself with these concepts, please see the simple example below.
1<public> class StudentInfo {
2 // member variables
3 <public> <int> Rollno;
4 <public> <string> Name;
5 ...
6 <private> <int> primarykey;
7 // member methods
8 <public> <int> firstfunction(int,int) {
9 // define method here
10 }
11 <private> <string> second function(parameter_list) {
12 // define method here
13 }
14 }
The following example will demonstrate all the aspects we have learned so far in the example code.
1using System;
3namespace SimpleInterest {
4 class Money {
5 public double income; // Income of First Person in family
6 public double loan; // Income of Second Person in family
7 public double interest; // The interest on a loan to be paid
8 }
9 class Expenses {
10 static void Main(string[] args) {
11 Money Money1 = new Money(); // Declare Money1 of type Money
12 Money Money2 = new Money(); // Declare Money1 of type Money
13 double expense = 0.0; // Store the expenses here
15 // Money 1 specification
16 Money1.income = 5000.0;
17 Money1.loan = 600.0;
18 Money1.interest = 0.7;
20 // Money 2 specification
21 Money2.income = 10000.0;
22 Money2.loan = 1200.0;
23 Money2.interest = 0.85;
25 // Expenses of first person
26 expense = Money1.income - Money1.loan * Money1.interest;
27 Console.WriteLine("Expenses of First Person : {0}", expense);
29 // Expenses of second person
30 expense = Money2.income - Money2.loan * Money2.interest;
31 Console.WriteLine("Expenses of Second Person : {0}", expense);
32 Console.ReadKey();
33 }
34 }
At compilation, we get the final result.
1Expenses of First Person : 4580
2Expenses of Second Person : 8980
In the same manner, you can use the live demo feature to write and practice your own code too.
Please note:
Data type will specify what type of variable it is. Meanwhile,
Return Type is for the data type of the data the method returns, if present.
Member functions are called so because they are defined within the class body. Consequently, they have the same prototype as other variables defined in a class. They will operate on the objects that belong to their own class and will have access to all the members of a class for that specific object.
Member Variables are essentially the attributes of a given object. They are private so that encapsulation can be implemented. In C#, encapsulation is the ability of an object to conceal its behavior and the associated data if it is not necessary for the user. Through this property, a set of methods can be considered and acted upon as a single unit. They can be accessed via the public member functions.
To understand the concept of member functions and their scope, let us look at the following example.
1using System;
3namespace MoneyApplication {
4 class Money {
5 private double income;
6 private double loan;
7 private double interest;
9 public void setIncome( double inc ) {
10 income = inc;
11 }
12 public void setLoan( double lon ) {
13 loan = lon;
14 }
15 public void setInterest( double itr ) {
16 interest = itr;
17 }
18 public double getExpense() {
19 return income * loan * interest;
20 }
21 }
22 class Moneytester {
23 static void Main(string[] args) {
24 Money Money1 = new Money(); // Declare Money1 of type Money
25 Money Money2 = new Money();
26 double expense;
28 // Declare Money2 of type Money
29 // Money 1 specification
30 Money1.setIncome(60.0);
31 Money1.setLoan (57.0);
32 Money1.setInterest(0.56);
34 // Money 2 specification
35 Money2.setIncome(20.0);
36 Money2.setLoan(24.0);
37 Money2. setInterest (0.09);
39 // volume of Money 1
40 expense = Money1.getExpense();
41 Console.WriteLine("Expense of First Person ( Money1) : {0}" ,expense);
43 // volume of Money 2
44 expense = Money2.getExpense();
45 Console.WriteLine("Expense of Second Person ( Money2) : {0}", expense);
47 Console.ReadKey();
48 }
49 }
A constructor is a special type of class member function which is executed to create a new object of that class. It implements the behavior of that class in the object.
A destructor is also a special type of member function of a particular class executed when the object of its class is going out of scope.
An object is the most basic unit in OOPS and the languages that implement this practice. Once an object is created, it interacts by invoking functions. They can be thought of as the real-life entities in the programming world.
Instantiating a Class: A class is instantiated by creating an object. A given class can have any number of objects.
Initializing an object: The new operator allocates memory for a new object by initiating the class and returns a reference to that memory location.
The C# compiler can differentiate between constructors based on the number of arguments and their types.
In C#, one class can be defined with the definition of another class. These are known as nested classes. They allow the user to clump classes that are used for one purpose logically or together. This enhances encapsulation properties and makes the code more readable and manageable.
For example:
1using System;
2// Outer class
3public class OuterClass {
4 // Method of outer class
5 public void methodA(){
6 Console.WriteLine("Outer class method called");
7 }
8 // Inner class
9 public class InnerClass {
10 // Method of inner class
11 public void methodB() {
12 Console.WriteLine("Inner class Method called");
13 }
14 }
16// Driver Class
17public class Program {
18 // Main method
19 static public void Main(){
20 // Create the instance of outer class
21 OuterClass obj1 = new OuterClass();
22 obj1.methodA();
24 /*
25 This statement gives an error because you are not allowed
26 to access inner class methods with outer class objects.
27 obj1. methodB();
28 */
30 // Creating an instance of inner class
31 OuterClass.InnerClass obj2 = new OuterClass.InnerClass();
32 // Accessing the method of inner class
33 obj2.methodB();
34 }
The output of this code is:
1Outer class method called
2Inner class Method called
A nested class can be declared with any access modifier, namely private, public, protected, internal, protected internal, or private protected.
An outer class cannot directly access inner class members, as visible in the example above.
It is possible to create objects of inner class in the outer class.
An inner class is allowed to access a static member declared in outer class. A method is shown below:
1// Main Driver Class
2public class DriverClass {
3 // Main method
4 static public void Main() {
5 // To access the static methodA of the inner class
6 OuterClass1.InnerClass2.methodA();
7 }
Some things to keep in mind with regard to nested classes:
The inner class can access any non-static member that has been declared in the outer class.
Scope of a nested class is limited by the scope of its (outer) enclosing class.
If nothing is specified, the nested class is private (default).
Any class can be inherited into another class in C# (including a nested class).
This article explains how classes are defined in C# and how the scope of different objects can be used for powerful code creation. Armed with this knowledge, anyone can set preferences, permissions for using objects and polymorphism, etc. for fewer lines of code and better performance optimization.
Happy learning C#!

This is a vintage Aït Bou Guemmez or Aït Bou Ouli carpet; but very unusual. Those tribes commonly produce white carpets with dark designs; this carpet is a kind of a negative of others with the inversionof traditionnal colors. It displays a usual losengical grid, with a number of horizontal rupture lines as is common in the neighbouring Middle Atlas. This sober composition is however distracted by two lines of colored small squares alternating yellow and green. This carpet is entirely made of handspun wool but for those colored squares which are made of "souk wool" (industrial spinning). Dimensions: ca 285 x 155 cm / 114′ x 62′.

A new month brings a new featured Mr. George Gold Coin Award recipient story. Ryan Caplan, the assistant customer service manager at Store #1132 in Brooksville, Florida, received the Mr. George Gold Coin Award in January 2019. Since beginning his career with Publix in 2014, Ryan has followed the ideals our founder, George Jenkins, lived by. We spoke with Ryan and asked about some of his favorite things about working at Publix. Ryan told us, "At Publix, I'm given the opportunity to brighten people's lives every day. From associates to customers, Publix employs me to spread enthusiasm and continue to build my family. From the moment I started at my first store to the store I'm at now, I consistently build a great group of friends and people I call my family."
The Story
Ryan met Charles, a Publix customer. "Charles began to tell me how he and his wife were prepping their Thanksgiving sides and desserts when their oven caught on fire and almost burnt their whole kitchen down," Ryan told us about the interaction. Charles asked if there was anything Publix could do to help them for Thanksgiving. Ryan knew we sold holiday meals and went to the deli department to see if they had any extra cases available. With it being so close to the holiday, he was unsure if there'd be any left.
When Ryan returned, he had great news for Charles. The deli had a few dinners left and Ryan returned with one and offered to pay. Ryan stated, "I knew Charles had more pressing issues to worry about and I offered to pay for the meal for him. He was so gracious we had an extra meal for his family, but he then asked me a question." Charles asked, "Can the deli cook this for me to pick up tomorrow?" "He didn't have any family in the area and with no stove and oven, he didn't have any way to cook. I could tell he was upset, not with Publix, but with the situation at hand, and I wanted him to enjoy his Thanksgiving," Ryan stated.
Without hesitation, Ryan told Charles that he would take the meal home, cook it at his house and deliver it to Charles and his visitors on Thanksgiving. "He didn't believe me but I assured him it was okay, as my brother was hosting our dinner and I had a free oven in the morning," Ryan told us. By 9 a.m., Charles' meal was in the oven, on time for his promised 1 p.m. delivery time.
When Ryan arrived, he realized that Charles lived on a farm in rural Brooksville with no neighbors for miles. Charles and his wife waited outside for Ryan and helped unload the meal he brought. Ryan stayed to help set up their dining room table and introduced him to his daughter and showed Ryan his horses and dogs, as well as the damage in the kitchen from the fire. Charles asked Ryan for his name and number and Ryan told him to call if he needed anything. The two exchanged hugs, took some pictures and Ryan went on his way. Ryan told us, "As I drove away from the farm to my brother's house, my heart was full of love and joy to know that Charles and his family will have a hot meal this Thanksgiving."
We finished our talk with Ryan and asked him about his favorite thing about working with Publix. "It's like one big family. At any store I work at, they end up being a part of the family and the more stores I work at, the bigger that family becomes. Like Mr. George famously said, "Publix is like a smorgasbord, with opportunity spread out for you." He couldn't be more right! Working at Publix is really like no other company because the opportunities are endless.
"When I received the Mr. George Gold Coin Award, it validated that the philosophy I live by, I should always do the right thing," Ryan stated. My favorite part of my current role as an assistant customer service manager is the impact I have on my associates. I get to create a fun environment on the front end of the store, which helps our customers smile. I love the ability to develop and craft future leaders for Publix." His former and current associates agree. They told us that he's very enthusiastic when he's working and is a valuable leader, who cares for all and has a big heart. "I hope every customer can leave happier than when they entered, that they feel what they experienced and the product they bought was to the highest standards and worth the drive to our store. I hope the service they receive is premier and makes them choose to come back."
Have you ever witnessed an associate going above and beyond at your local Publix? Share your story with us on Facebook or Twitter, via our Contact Us page or by phone at (800) 242-1227. To read the stories of other recipients of the Mr. George Gold Coin Award, check them out here.

Shakhtar Donetsk had a chance to upset Bayern Munich today but they may have in fact lost it before everyone on the field had a chance to break a sweat.
Oleksandr Kucher of Shakhtar tackled Mario Gotze from behind in the box to draw the PK in the third minute. It wasn't a very serious tackle but it was from behind and Gotze was in on goal. The penalty was called and Thomas Muller scored to take the lead for Bayern Munich as they seek to advance to the Champions League Quarterfinals. Shakhtar can still take the lead if they draw but it's going to be a tough ask now.

You don't want to take any risks with your mouth and neither do we. We take special precautionary tests of your mouth to catch anything out of the ordinary early.
A lot of family doctors are not experienced in diagnosing and treating oral conditions (oral pathology), including oral cancer. That's why dental professionals, such as those at Dr. Lui & Associates, are trained in the identification and management of oral conditions. Even though these screenings are for oral cancer, they can help diagnose non-cancerous maladies too.
Before your oral cancer exam begins, you'll need to remove any dental appliances from your mouth. You'll meet with our dentist who will look for swellings, bumps, colour patches, ulcers or other abnormalities using a light, mirror, and tongue depressor. You might even be asked to say, "Ahh" to get a full picture using an optic camera, blue light, or dyes.
After your visual exam, your cheeks, jaw, chin, head, and oral cavities will be checked in a physical exam for unusual masses. You might be asked if there is any pain when these are checked and to swallow to examine your throat.
These exams are just precautionary and will help identify and reduce any risks of further symptoms. Even if nothing is found, we may suggest coming back for another screening – especially if you use tobacco or drink regularly. Oral cancer screenings are done during every recall/new patient exam. It's a routine check that's part of making sure your teeth and gums are healthy.
At Dr Lui and Associates we devote ourselves to providing sophisticated, honest dental care for Calgarians and surrounding area. A referral isn't necessary but sometimes a second opinion should be: simply book an appointment or call to get your free consultation.

Comment: As I was leaving, a woman asked me to fill out a short survey about how to improve the Asian Art Museum's "Art After Hours." I dutifully obliged, but they didn't ask the right questions. I found the event somewhat disjointed and confusing, expecting an energized progressive cross-cultural experience, but came away wanting. With a few modest adjustments, however, Art After Hours can easily become one of San Franciso's most popular museum/social/entertainment events.
First, theme the music. I love Grand Master Flash and Kool and the Gang, but "White Lines" and "Jungle Boogie" do not work well with a fourteenth century gilded bronze Korean bodhisattva.
Second, the spectacular high-ceilinged stone-columned full-marble Samsung Hall, a lighting designer's dream, was completely dark-- transformed into something approximating Bill and Judy's wedding reception in Ballroom C at the Airport Hilton. Constance Chang's black and white films worked well, but once again, American pop dance music pretty much negated their impact. Instead, play the latest dance music from Japan or Korea or China or Burma, or showcase on-theme performers and/or musicians who deserve the exposure.
Third, I didn't understand the collage-making tables. Maybe they were there for people who've never made art before. The idea might work better with help from professional artists, or experts to talk about the relationship of collage to other art in the museum or to Asian art in general.
On the plus side, the food and drink were more than adequate, having free range of the galleries was a total pleasure, the opportunity to discuss fakes and reproductions with real experts in white lab coats was excellent, the Tetsuya Noda print exhibition is an absolute must-see, and Constance Chang was there to talk about her movie career and abstract paintings on display in the Osher Gallery.
Artist/Artists: Tetsuya Noda, Constance Chang, Kool and the Gang, Grand Master Flash, Experts in White Lab Coats, You as a collage artist.
Art? This didn't make a whole lot of sense either. Moments before I was reminded not to use the flash. That's better. Art. Above.
