Why did RMI update the protocols?
The RMI requires its protocols to be reviewed annually to ensure the content continues to reasonably support the responsible sourcing requirements set forth by law (e.g., Dodd Frank Action Section 1502) and international expectations, such as the OECD Guidance. Interim adjustments are able to be made if driven by revised findings or legislation, including the European Union (EU) Supply Chain Due Diligence Regulation (May 2017) and forthcoming Chinese legislation. Within the EU context, accompanying measures and implementing regulations will require RMI to formally apply for acceptance into the EU scheme, which requires assurance programs to be aligned with OECD Guidance to be accepted in by EU Member States.
The revised Standard also meets international expectations communicated by the availability of the OECD Alignment Tool and Methodology,), alignment with upstream partners such as ITRI Tin Supply Chain Initiative(iTSCi) and Better Sourcing Program (BSP), and the need to update content based on three years of feedback and input from auditors, auditees, and other stakeholders.
Why did RMI remove "conflict-free" terminology?
The "Conflict-free" label, while referenced and defined in DFA 1502, does not accurately represent the principle and practice of due diligence as an ongoing process that is expected to be carried out and improved upon over time, where risks incidents are identified, managed, and reported as part of the process.
The updated Standard and assurance process continues to support companies' declarations for "conflict-free" for regulatory purposes or otherwise, in that smelters and refiners are still required to identify and address direct or indirect support to non-state armed groups and the financing of conflict in the Great Lakes Region as part of the risk identification and assessment process.
Companies are still able to use the results of the RMI's assurance process to support their United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, "conflict-free" claims, and/or customers' requests. However, as was the case under the previous protocols, companies that source from smelters or refiners that are in conformance with the revised standard are not considered automatically in compliance with the SEC Final Rule. Under the SEC Final Rule, additional steps are required for companies to meet SEC reporting requirements: scoping, RCOI, and due diligence.
Has RMI expanded the risks covered by the audit?
RMI has not expanded the risks covered by the audit, however the revised standard explicitly references OECD Annex II risks to clarify that risks covered by the OECD Guidance must be included in the smelter's risk identification, assessment, and management process.
Companies must address all OECD Annex II risks, which are those commonly associated with the extraction, transport and trade of minerals from CAHRAs:
- Any forms of torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment;
- Any forms of forced or compulsory labor;
- The worst forms of child labor;
- Other gross human rights violations and abuses such as widespread sexual violence;
- War crimes or other serious violations of international humanitarian law, crimes against humanity or genocide;
- Direct or indirect support to non-state armed groups;
- Direct or indirect support to public or private security forces;
- Bribery and fraudulent misrepresentation of the origin of minerals;
- Money laundering;
- Non-payment of taxes, fees and royalties to governments.
How is RMI going to drive consistent outcomes in identifying CAHRAs when smelters can use their own definitions?
RMI uses the OECD's definition and is providing resources to help smelters identify these areas. The rationale smelters use must be defensible and evidence-based. RMI has made resources available on this webpage. Additionally, the European Council is planning to develop and indicative and non-comprehensive list of CAHRAs. RMI continues to engage with regulators, the OECD and other standard setting bodies to provide guidance and drive consistent outcomes in identifying CAHRAs.
Can smelters use upstream assurance mechanisms for sourcing from CAHRAs?
Yes, smelters may continue to use upstream assurance mechanisms to assist in conducting due diligence over high-risk sources. When using upstream assurance mechanisms, smelters must, at a minimum:
- Understand the scope of activities of the upstream assurance mechanism and understand any gaps between the scope of the mechanism's activities and the requirements of the OECD Guidance.
- Ensure that all information generated by the upstream assurance mechanism, and which is expected to be shared with the auditee, is received in a timely manner and records are maintained for at least five (5) years and made available to the auditor.
- Have sufficient understanding of the context of CAHRAs to be able to review and understand the information generated by the upstream assurance mechanism and to assess their ability to exercise influence over actors in high-risk supply chains who can most effectively prevent or mitigate identified risks.
- Where possible, actively participate in the upstream assurance mechanism to mitigate identified risks in its supply chains.
How can a smelter or refiner define high-risk or low-risk sourcing?
The smelter should do so in accordance with Table 5 in the Tin/Tantalum Standard, Tables 5-6 of the Tungsten and Gold Standards, respectively.
How do you know which areas have which risks?
Smelters and refiners are required to develop a procedure to identify CAHRAs. RMI has provided resources and examples on our website here.
If one area is defined as low-risk area, but there are media reports with high-risk in this area, how does the auditor determine the risk-level?
The auditor does not determine the risk-level, the smelter does. The auditor should assess the procedure to identify CAHRAs to ensure that 1. It meets the requirements of the standard; 2. It is reasonable.
If the smelter only select two type of risks from Annex II for its CAHRAs procedure, is this a finding?
The smelter does not select "types of risks" from Annex II for the procedure to identify CAHRAs. Instead, they develop broad criteria, such as human rights, governance, and conflict.
Will smelter define all sources as low-risk? How can the auditor judge whether this is reasonable or not?
It is possible the smelter assesses that all sources are low-risk. Auditors can ask probing questions to better understand and validate the process and procedure to reach that determination, and ensure it is reasonable. However, auditors should not pass judgment on the outcomes of the reasonable process.
What if reports indicate that an area has a number of risks?
The auditor can ask questions related to specific reports or articles and ask how those were assessed during the CAHRA procedure. However, reports or news articles alone are not conclusive evidence that an area is high-risk, and there may be a reasonable explanation as to why a company determined it was low-risk. For example, a smelter may be sourcing from the eastern part of a country with transit directly from the east into their country, while media or NGO reports identify risks in the western part of the country.
What if onsite the auditor and auditee realize the smelter is sourcing high-risk and needs to complete the high-risk assessment workbook?
First the auditor and auditee should talk through the changes. If possible, the auditee can make the updates on site. If not, the auditor may have to return to follow up. This will also be reviewed in the context of continual improvement, understanding that new high-risk sources may take more time to address and integrated into systems and processes.
During the assessment, if the smelter has a system for addressing issues of material origin and transit but not on KYC of suppliers, or if the smelter has systematic issues with documents but not with suppliers, what should the auditor do?
The assessment is a management systems assessment. Thus if there are any systematic concerns – either with suppliers or materials – it is a finding. However, if there are no material issues or the identified concerns are not systematic, it may be an observation.
Does RMI provide any resources for smelter on capacity building?
RMI has provided extensive training on the revised standard and continues to develop and update guidance for smelters, refiners, and auditors on the website here.
What are the challenges of the audit firm's assessment reporting, what are the smelter's concerns?
Major concerns include language (non-native language to smelter or refiner); grammar and spelling; and completeness.
Are the PAC and workbook that the audit firm received is reviewed by RMI first and then go to auditor?
Yes. RMI receives and reviews all submitted documents before sending them to the audit firms. This is to check for errors, gaps, and glaring issues.
Should the auditor leave the CAP template onsite after finishing the onsite assessment?
RMI will provide the auditee with the official determination of findings and enter them into the CAP template. This will be sent with the determination letter. The auditee then has 2 weeks to return their portion of the CAP template to RMI in order to be assessed by the auditor.

Some think renting trade show displays means cookie-cutter rental options picked from a catalog. The truth is, one trade show display does not fit all! One size trade show display may not be accommodated by every venue or fit your marketing objectives for each show. You want your display to update every year, you want it to stand out, with custom details and a high end feel. You may need to scale your exhibit to fit larger spaces. Rentals can satisfy all these needs without sacrificing on quality and they do it at a price point that can work for any business.
Show Decorators may offer Limited Options
Settling for simple generic displays offered by show decorators will leave you blending in with the wallpaper. Don't settle for these limited options, or compromise the integrity of your brand with a mediocre rental.
Custom Trade Show Rentals
Custom trade show rentals allow you to adapt the look of your exhibit to meet your specific marketing objectives, and provide you the flexibility to target your marketing message and your graphics from show to show without being tied to that design long-term.
Apple Rock, has Custom Rental options that will impress. We believe design and functionality are too important to be excluded. For our custom display rentals, we mostly use materials we have here in-house; extrusion, matrix frames, custom cabinetry, etc., but we also design and build custom elements to achieve a specific look for a client at a fraction of the purchase price.
The Financial Implications of Renting
Apple Rock also offers a rent to own option in most cases, where we can spread the cost of your display over 3-4 shows, with the bulk of the cost incurred with the first show.
Another benefit of renting is the money you will save on shipping and storage. You can save hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars by renting a display closer to your venue city; even if you only do one show there a year.
Our goal is to be where our clients need us to be. Apple Rock offers clients options with our Las Vegas warehouse, just minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, and from the largest trade shows in the country.
For 28 years Apple Rock has exceled and grown organically by providing client solutions tailored to each individual design needs, budget, and marketing objectives. Before you decide to buy or rent from the general show cotractor, contact an Apple Rock in-house design consultant.

Extract from an article by Robin Ganguly
When the High Court of England and Wales handed down judgment in the case of Brown v BCA Trading Ltd, it marked what is believed to be the first test of technology-assisted review (TAR) for disclosure at a full trial in England. The technology is being used increasingly and, combined with recently-proposed changes to the English disclosure regime, could result in more legal cases becoming economically viable to fight and lead to greater recoveries for creditors.
TAR also has applications beyond litigation, which can be particularly useful for insolvency practitioners (IPs, as they are often called) appointed to a company who need to find out key information and secure assets quickly with limited funds.

Auckland is located in the North Island of New Zealand and it is the largest urban area in terms of population in the country. Roughly about 1.5 million people or about 32 % of the country's population call the 'City of Sails' home. Due to its location that is surrounded by water and two harbours: Manukau and Waitemata harbours, Auckland is popular for leisure activities and its laid-back lifestyle. When you are in Auckland you are never far away from a beach. The landscape is varied and beautiful, from the unspoiled bush territory of Waitakere ranges to the islands of the Hauraki Gulf.

CCD started last week, and I've realized that a lot of folks I talk to don't know the things I teach my kids--as in, they were never taught these things. So, for your edification--and since all of you can't make it to class--here are seven big things we teach them during first grade.
God loves them. God loves us all more than we can possibly imagine. He created us because he loves us--and so that we can know, love, and serve him in this life, and be happy with him forever in the next. God loves us no matter what we do. However:
That doesn't mean you get a free pass . We teach the kids the 10 commandments early on. God loves us so much that He gives us rules for our happiness. He wants us to go to Heaven to be with Him when we die--but we have a choice. We don't have to do what He asks of us.
At our parish, the kids receive First Confession and First Communion in second grade. So we have to make sure the kids are ready for these. So that means emphasizing that God loves us, but also, that our relationship with God is hurt by sin. Confession restores grace (God's life in our souls) and our friendship with God.
We don't want them to be scared of God, as in, terrified that He'll send them to Hell for taking an extra cookie. (Fear of the Lord is something different.) But we do want them to know what sin is, and what it does.
On that end, we teach them about Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory, and that everyone in Heaven is a saint. They may not be a canonized saint, but they are saints.
Prayer is talking with God. This week, we're going to talk about how God loves them, why God created them, and what prayer is. I know a lot of times we get hung up on formal norms of prayer and the "best" way to pray. But at its heart, prayer is just talking to God. That's it. You talk to your friends, right? God is your best friend. (Or He should be!) How will you get to know God if you never talk to Him? We also briefly touch on the different kinds of prayer--petition, intercession, thanksgiving, praise, adoration.
Since we're a Dominican parish, we teach them about the Rosary, as well as Dominican saints. Our classroom's patron is St. Hyacinth.
In that vein, we also teach them about the Church year, especially the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter, and we teach them the Stations of the Cross.
They learn about the Real Presence. If I'm teaching that week, I am absolutely nuts about this. I love teaching kids about the Eucharist. When I tell them that they will receive Jesus--Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity--when they receive communion, their faces just light up. It's such an awesome part of our Catholic faith. We make sure that they know what it is before they leave.
Finally, we teach them about the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. I became really big on this after a priest at our parish told the catechists during a meeting that he interviewed a sixth grader who didn't know what the trinity was. I vowed that would never happen in my classes.
So, those are some of the most important points we teach in first grade. Did you know all these by the time you reached second grade?

Out of Southern California, here is one woman's cautionary tale of getting rid of your spouse's old junk without them knowing. A woman named Linda Hoffman dropped off a bag of clothes to Goodwill earlier this week, including a bunch of her husband Bob's old shirts. But little did she know that one of those shirts had an envelope with $8,000 in cash stashed in the pocket. Unbeknownst to Hoffman, her husband had been secretly squirreling money away over the course of six years to take her on a dream trip to Italy.
It was two days before her husband noticed the shirt was missing, and with the store closing in an hour, they rushed back to Goodwill to go through recent donations. Unfortunately it was to no avail — the shirt and the money were nowhere to be found. The Hoffmans must have had a guardian angel watching over them however, because the next day one of the Goodwill employees, Caitlin Mulvihill, was going through a pile of dress shirts and happened upon Bob's hidden stash.
Linda later told Los Angeles ABC 7 News, "We looked at it as if it was gone, that we hoped it would go to somebody to help that family out." So having said that, hopefully she and her husband gave Mulvihill a generous reward. Let's also hope some of that money also went into the purchase of a home safe so homeboy doesn't have to hide money around the house anymore — if for no other reason than that they just went on the news basically announcing that they keep stacks of cold, hard cash lying around. On that note, maybe invest in installing a home security system as well.
(Via ABC 7)

Your Local Scheme
Thames Avenue, Pangbourne
Scheme information
Several residents are concerned about the nocturnal use of the car park at the end of our road as well as the traffic (cars and scooters) that pass, at speed, up and down our street, often at very unsociable hours. Multiple incidents have been reported to the Police, one of which has resulted in an arrest and a Section 59 notice. Along with the support of the Police and Parish Council we are seeking a more proactive approach to controlling this antisocial activity and request your support in order to get something done about it.

Many people want to lose weight as quickly as possible and are often fascinated when using a weight loss product or service that produces a rapid weight loss in the first few days or weeks. While it may be attractive to think that you are finally on the right track and that you can finally stay with it and lose unwanted body weight, and its works by targeting fat cells, there is, however, a flip-side for this fast experienced weight loss.
After experiencing initial and rapid weight loss, often the case of a lot of dieters who make use of such fast fat reduction products believe that they simply begin to lose hope, since their fat loss rate almost It always motivates a snail rhythm. And while it may be optimal if all the reduction of body weight during the initial phase of the diet program was actually of body fat, the fact is that this is not the case.
The truth of the matter is this – losing body weight is really easy, but losing body fat is not as easy as it sounds. It would also not be an exaggeration to say that many diet promoters are quite aware of this fact, but somehow they intentionally fail or refuse to illuminate the diet on that weight loss phenomenon.
This is what is really happening. A large percentage of the weight lost during the initial phase of virtually any weight loss program is mainly due to the loss of water from the tissues of the body because water is part of every cell in the human body. In fact, fat-free mass is 70-75% water, and body fat is only 10-40% water. It's works by targetting fat cells.
Due to the reduction in calorie intake during the first periods of use of any weight loss product and in particular those specially designed to "supposedly" facilitate rapid fat reduction, the body is forced to release and burn its glycogen Stored for fuel Power. Glycogen is composed essentially of 75% water and 25% glucose and, therefore, when glucose is metabolized, water is widely produced as a by-product.
Taking into account the above points, it is regrettable to note that there are some weight loss programs that, in an attempt to show immediate results, incorporate the use of diuretics to give the illusion of weight loss. Diuretics, both medications and diuretic herbs, promote the loss of body water through the kidneys. In addition to these diet programs that lead to loss of body water that is easily displayed in the bath, the dieter runs the risk of becoming dehydrated.
Similarly, be it a conventional diet, a fad diet or a diet pill, the rapid effect of rapid weight loss, probably experienced, is virtually the same – loss of body water. However, diets that employ severe caloric restrictions or are rich in protein can significantly increase that effect.
Actually, the natural course of weight loss is to experience a rapid weight loss resulting from the loss of water from the body tissues which is subsequently followed by a significant slowdown in fat loss as the body now changes To burn your fat stores to find it Energy needs. After the initial phase of reducing body weight from a weight loss program, the rate of extra healthy fat loss should be around 1-2 pounds per week, or a little more depending on the makeup of the individual.
So, when a diet plan or some other fat reduction program claims to have the ability to help you lose as much as 10-30 pounds of body weight within a questionable time period, say, 1 week, you now have An idea of what you are against. You simply cannot burn fat easily, instead you will be losing water from your body.
Understanding the small complexities involved in weight loss, such as the concept of water loss in the previous body, helps people become much better at setting realistic fat reduction goals. This allows for a fat reduction plan project that anticipates how to handle situations and other unavoidable drawbacks that prove the dieter's resolve without him or his unnecessarily discouraged feeling.
A long-term focused and sensitive weight loss program should therefore achieve body fat loss instead of focusing exclusively on weight loss on the scale. For successful and long-term weight loss, there is a need for an individual to make positive and permanent changes in their lifestyle, such as incorporating a calorie-controlled diet with regular exercise

The month of the Commodore Amiga CDTV/CD32 continues with a quick overview - including direct screen capture and video - of Impossible Mission 2025 - The Special Edition for the CD32. As stated earlier, I'm going to go into these overviews as if the CD32 version were an "island", meaning I will simply take the games as they are, paying little mind to whether the game is a simple floppy port or a fully realized platform-specific experience. In other words, whether you can play the same exact game on an AGA (or even OCS/ECS!) Amiga computer from a single floppy drive in lieu of this CD-based multimedia platform, it will have no bearing on my opinion. Now, "stay awhile" and let's get to it:
The month of the Commodore CDTV/CD32 continues with a visual inventory of my CD32 collection, much of which will be featured throughout the rest of the month, particularly in regards to playthroughs and reviews of the software. These exclusive high resolution photos are as follows:
Let me say first and foremost I am loving this THEME idea! Concentrating on various retro platforms is a smart idea. As I've said in my other posts, I have always considered the Amiga platform as shafted and often overlooked and underrated. I DO own an NTSC version of CD32. As for the CDTV, well let me say that when that came out I was young and very poor, but man did I want one of those. I too had forseen the future of computing as being optical disc based and multi-media driven, so the debut of the CDTV was awe inspiring to me; I mean the heart of an Amiga 500 with optical drive, digitized video in a sleek BLACK interior? Holy crap, I am not sure if the BLACK version of the 1084 monitor came to US / Canada, but man I wanted one, and combined with the CDTV? Well damn, look for yourself!
Do you know what month it is? Do you have any idea what good times await you this month on Armchair Arcade? It's the Month of CDTV/CD32, of course! Brace yourself!
That's right--this month at Armchair Arcade, your friendly editors will be focusing our attention on Commodore's intriguing duo of CD-ROM based platforms. We'll be bringing you historical information, hands-on looks at emulation and gaming, videos, editorials, collector information...Good God, it's practically like owning one of these units yourself! Please share with us all of your stories and thoughts about the CDTV and the CD32. Do not hold anything back. This is The Month of the CDTV/CD32.

Dharamsala: The Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama has issued clarification on certain misguided reporting of His Holiness' views on refugees during his recent visit to Malmo, Sweden.
"Recent reporting of His Holiness the Dalai Lama's views on refugees has been taken out of context," the Office said.
"Kindly see His Holiness's response to a question about refugees during his public talk in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, on 16 September 2018.
His Holiness' response:
"When refugees from other countries have come to Europe, it's wonderful that Germany and other European countries have given them help. However, I think that most of those refugees think of their own lands as home, but just now there is lots of killing, bullying and suffering there. That's why they escaped. So, in the short term, European countries should provide them with shelter, and should particularly provide children with facilities for education and training, including mechanical training, for the young people. The aim is that they should eventually be able to return to rebuild their own countries. That has been my view right from the beginning.
"For example, we Tibetans took shelter in India, but most Tibetans want to return to Tibet when the situation there has changed. Each country has its own culture, language, way of life, and it is better for people to live in their own country. That is my view."
Video of the question and His Holiness's answer can be viewed a here.

OGWhatsApp Description:
OGWhatsApp: WhatsApp is the new sensation, this app frightened the biggest social media giant Facebook, and finally. Facebook has to offer 19 billion dollars to the WhatsApp owner. Now, WhatsApp the officially owned by Facebook, and Facebook is making new ways to sponsor via WhatsApp.
I am not here to talk about how WhatsApp came into existence; I am going to elaborate some of the features which should be added to WhatsApp. Like, if you got SIM on your smartphone, and you got want to operate two different WhatsApp account over there. But, you simply cannot, because WhatsApp only allows you to have one account on one smartphone. This thing has now changed, and OGWhatsApp had made it possible for you to operate two different accounts of two different mobiles number on a single smartphone.
How to use OGWhatsApp?
It is simple, but one has to do it carefully- like you have to take care of these three steps before going further in using two WhatsApp account in a single smartphone.
- You need to create back-ups of all of your data, like messages, videos, images and much more. As the data is going to vanish when you will go further ahead.
- The second step you need to rename the SD Card/WhatsApp directory to /SD card/OGWhatsApp to make the separate folder to save the data in this folder.
- The third step is very important, you need to verify the old mobile number, what you have been using before on WhatsApp via OGWhatsApp and verify the new number to the normal version of WhatsApp.
Now, you are all set to use two WhatsApp account on your same smartphone. Plus, WhatsApp does not allow you to upload any file of more than 50 MB; by having this app installed on can upload data up to 500 MB. You can say OGWhatsApp is modified form of WhatsApp, you can say, one can use those features which are restricted by the officials. Download OGWhatsApp APK file from the given download button, we have already given you a download button below. Tap on it and have the OGWhatsApp latest version on your Android phone.

How to spark your Competitive Fire within
Being an ocean paddler myself this was a great example of designing in a User-centric way to get a product experience that matches how the user wants to be motivated and increase their training potential. The App is intuitive, simple to operate, with the focus on core functionality based on rank.
I led with the core concept being motivation then built it around ways to keep that lit - stoking your competitive fire. The App is designed around a leaderboard ranking that helps you compete against other people while also against yourself. Using deep blue colour tones paired with brightly coloured tinting to communicate your level of "Competitive Fire", it creates an emotional bond. I wanted to make sure it was a beautiful place, to inspire, a place that kept you coming back and has the core functionality to keep you engaged. This helps users develop a deep connection to their performance and also a collective feeling that comes with being in a competitive group. It's a community of like minded people, in this case people that love spending time on the water in an athletic way.

Another record-breaking season for Rutgers Mock Trial has come to an end. After months of preparation, RUMTA's A-Team finished an incredible year at the National Championship Tournament (NCT) in Minneapolis, MN on April 20-22 and brought home an Honorable Mention trophy. Advancing to NCT is a feat only accomplished by the top 48 mock trial teams across the country. RUMTA faced the University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, Haverford College, and University of Alabama over three days of intense competition.
With a record of 6 wins, RUMTA placed 15th with an honorable mention in the St. Paul Division. RUMTA also congratulates Robert Servilio and Mike Kleynman on outstanding individual performances. Servilio earned his first All-American Witness award for his portrayal of expert witness Harper Karpis. Kleynman won two All-American Attorney awards for his work as both prosecution and defense counsel. Congratulations to both for their well-deserved awards!
This also marks the end of a long and dedicated mock trial career for two seniors: Katie Dale and Nicoletta Eby.
Katie began her mock trial career on the A-Team and immediately became an indispensable asset--portraying an ever-changing lineup of colorful and credible witnesses. She served on the E-Board as Vice President of External Relations, and competed at NCT 2018. Katie plans to attend graduate school in the near future and pursue a career in education.
During her three years in RUMTA, Nicoletta Eby served as VP of Operations, B-Team Captain, and President. She competed at NCT twice; in Los Angeles for NCT 2017 and in Minneapolis for NCT 2018. Nicoletta plans to attend law school and pursue a legal career. Congratulations, Katie and Nicoletta, on all of your success!
RUMTA is graciously sponsored by the Middlesex County Bar Foundation, the Office of Undergraduate Academic Affairs at Rutgers University, and the Rutgers Alumni Association. Thank you for your generosity, for this would not have been possible without your help.
RUMTA extends a huge thank you to Head Coach Michael Roberts, Esq. of Roberts & Teeter, LLC, Assistant Coach Rachel Holt, Assistant Coach Zaniah Maynor, and Assistant Coach Anish Patel.

ms¹, Więckowskiego 36
7th October, Friday 2016 - 8th January 2017
The exhibition presents works of an artistic collective, whose phenomenon consists in, inter alia, experimental and "non-canonical" approach to photography and artistic techniques. Activities practised by Zero-61 – however unique in the history of Polish photography as an example of collective interventions that went on for almost a decade and managed to maintain internal artistic coherence – still remain insufficiently explored by historians of art and photography. The group as a whole was an artistically distinct phenomenon, internally strongly integrated. They represented many features common to photography, as well as Polish and global art of the 1960s. In many artistic interventions members of Zero-61 revealed innovative approach to photography and can be considered protagonists who went beyond binding canons. From its inception, works by those who made up Zero-61 were overcoming barriers between genres of art and conventions; the importance of their accomplishments goes far beyond strictly photographic aspects.
The group was founded in October 1961 in Torun by students of the Nicolaus Copernicus University. The list of founding members included: Romuald Chomicz, Czesław Kuchta, Lucjan Oczkowski, Józef Robakowski, Jerzy Wardak, and Wiesław Wojczulanis. Over eight years when the collective developed its interventions, the membership evolved. The longest serving – from day one until the group ceased to exist – and the most active members were: Kuchta, Robakowski and Wardak later joined by Różycki, as well as Bruszewski, Kokot, and Mikołajczyk in the final period of Zero-61. These seven people constituted the core of the group. In their actions they were always ready and strongly determined to challenge formal solutions in photography; their works make up the major part of the exhibition.
Artists from Zero 61 expressed themselves predominantly through photographic image that they would use in ways exceeding the borders of traditional photography by, inter alia, striving to invent new techniques, experimenting with parameters of photographic processes and using photomontage. "Zeroists" also created works of objets trouvés type, which included, e.g., photographs taken by other people that they found but also asamblages, environments and installations. The exhibition at Stara Kuźnia [Old Forge Gallery] in Torun in 1969 was the most radical example of such productions. It was an exhibition and an installation (one of the first of that kind in Poland) where photography became just one among other elements, such as photo-objects, assamblages and ephemeral interventions presented at the opening. Video and photographic documentation of this legendary exhibition-installation is a part of the exposition at Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź. Some of the members of the group were also interested in film as a medium that expands the horizon of visual searches.
"Zeroists" did not document the misery of everyday life in the PRL (People's Republic of Poland). On the contrary, art emerged from the need to escape and manifest independence reflected in artistic creations. Absence of the "current content" in the works of young artists demonstrated their attitude to the reality of the 1960s. When establishing the collective they decided to accomplish their artistic plans regardless of political circumstances (Gomułka's hardline approach in the 1960s following the thaw in 1956) and the then situation in artistic circles. Their wish to start "from zero" is announced in the name of the group.
Specific attitude to photography as a medium places their works within similar, transgressive searches that can be found in art of those times. Experiments that expanded creative horizons of photography and relating to its formal qualities, communication properties or purely physical material characteristics of the work heralded trends in media art in Poland that fully resonated in the 1970s in media-related searches conducted in Conceptualists circles. Four members of Zero-61 who continued working with the media in Warsztat Formy Filmowej [Film Form Workshop] collective that they co-founded in 1970 played an important role in this process.
Despite remaining at the margins of mainstream photography, artistic accomplishments of the members of Zero-61 are both rich and diversified. Exhibition shows the selection of more than sixty works by Wojciech Bruszewski, Michał Kokot, Czesław Kuchta, Antoni Mikołajczyk, Lucjan Oczkowski, Józef Robakowski, Andrzej Różycki, Jan Siennik, Jerzy Wardak, Wiesław Wojczulanis, and Janusz Żernicki. Besides photographs and photo-objects we can find here Zeroists' own publications. The exhibition is accompanied by the release of the first monograph devoted to the collective.

Dreams & Visions
of Eden Dome Dream
Plain Text
My son had a dream about the garden of Eden. He saw the Garden of Eden, and it is under Jerusalem. Dream was 11/14/01.
Please email me if you have additional information, i.e., the interpretation.
More interpretation at bottom from a Prophetess.
Partial interpretation in brackets ]
Dream starts...
He sees the dome of the rock. He sees underground his vision sees down past metal pipes, bones, very very far down and it was like he was a camera and he could see underground and all of a sudden it stops. He sees a gigantic dome with the garden of Eden inside of it . Two gigantic angels are inside with wings spread and they are holding the dome closed so the garden of
Eden cannot be entered even if found. There is a force field that the angels create to make sure the dome stays closed .The dome itself is like the
force field.
[The Garden of Eden, a perfect environment created by YAHUVEH for His people. It has been hidden since the fall of man, in a figurative sense, because nothing like it has existed on earth since then. When
Satan took control of this planet, becoming the "god of this world," our planet has been under a curse. The forces being controlled by the devil have used inventions meant to make this planet a Garden of Eden again to instead kill and destroy. So the garden being hidden and guarded by angels indicates something being held back from man until the right time. It could not exist now because it would be defiled by the curse upon this world.]
There are so many animals and plants that my son never saw before.
[The earth will be replenished with all the animals and plants that first existed plus many more we have never heard of nor seen.]
There are two men one looks about 900 years old and has a long white beard, the other looks about 20 years old, and both wear Yamaka's and despite the age they both look the same minus the beard and the age. Same eyes, nose, expression. He is guessing about the exact age. He wondered if it was Noah for some reason. These men speak in a strange language to each other, maybe
Hebrew. My son could understand these words "HE IS COMING" how he understood this language he doesn't know. He thinks it could be
[The Garden of Eden is symbolized by these two men as something very old and something very new.]
The men stopped talking , the dome started shaking underground it started raising up to the surface through the bones and pipes then it started coming to the surface and lifted up the building of the dome of the rock. Then he saw the building of the dome of the rock explode and instead now stands the Dome of the garden of Eden in Jerusalem.
[This is a LITERAL explosion as well as a symbolic one.
The PLO will blow up the Dome of the Rock sometime in the future, blame it on the Israeli government, and use it as an excuse to start a war. Arafat let the plans for this slip out during an interview on CNN. When he realized what he had said, he took off his mic, stood up and left the studio. This explosion symbolically represents the removal of these violent people who have been struggling against
YAHUVEH's people and the heralding in of peace. That the Dome of the Rock is seen right over the Garden symbolizes how the enemy of God's people have been
suppressing peace, but it will be removed soon.]
People were staring at it and the force field lifted and the angels went to the entrance so no one could get through. The gigantic angels held 2 flaming swords to prevent anyone coming into the Garden of Eden. But The plants started getting bigger and the vines came out of the dome and started shooting through Jerusalem , plants grew everywhere and hundreds of animals
multiplied inside the Dome of the Garden of Eden. My son says the angels yelled something when this was happening HAKERA is what it sounded like hock her a short ah ... and lots of people saw a bright flash in the sky, some people disappeared and reappeared inside the Dome of the Garden of the Eden from around the world. The
force field reappeared on the the Dome of the Garden of Eden then it shot into the sky, taking all that love YAHUSHUA /JESUS with them. Then he saw Heaven and the people exited the Dome of the Garden of Eden.
[The new Garden of Eden is Heaven.]
This young boy is 13 years old and still prefers to call YAHUSHUA Jesus, so I have included that spelling for this reason alone.
More from a
Prayed about it and YAHUSHUA told me that to look in Revelation chapters
20-22 and Chapter 4. Not only that I went back into the millennium dream a month or 2 ago, and they are similar...So what does this mean?
While doing this, I was hearing audibly from YAHUSHUA, here's the
The Garden of Eden is the seed for the New
Jerusalem. The dome of
the Rock was built knowing what is underground. The angels
guarding the Garden of Eden, that the abomination of desolation
will come there (the dome) first and try to find it. He
knows that he couldn't find it so he bankroll the campaign to destroy
the dome.
The 2 men are symbolic of the 2 witnesses and also the 2
messengers that believed to come near the return of Messiah,
YAHUSHUA. I am hearing Him say Moses and Elijah on this.
The people disappearing ended up in the dome in Eden. Is it
symbolic of another audible word that was given to you Sherrie? For I'm
hearing the words: first one rapture another for those that I love.
Is this is the real rapture? For everyone appeared here and bolted
to heaven.
Also this is also again physical and symbolic of the restraint of the
Ruach HaKodesh. For once the bride is taken out of the world, then
the tribulation and the antichrist will be revealed.
The Garden is kept holy because it is a holy seed of the Heavenly
Jerusalem and remember, the New Jerusalem is the abode of the redeemed.
This is all that was given for now, if there is additional, I'll send
it to you. I'll post the dream to some Yahoo groups and to
see more interpretations of it.

Both the medical and legal professions recognize that some human behaviors take place in the absence of consciousness and intent. When these behaviors arise within a criminal context, the absence of intent may lead one to infer the individual was not responsible for his or her actions.

What Happened, will "give readers an idea of what it's really like to run for president, especially if you're a woman," Clinton said in a statement. "Ultimately it's about resilience, how to get back up after a loss." The book will be published by Simon & Schuster in September.
Republican Senator Jeff Flake is working on "an ideological manifesto for his own version of conservatism." Flake was a critic of Trump during the 2016 election, and his book explains the differences between his ideas about governing and those of the president, which he "describes as nationalist and populist in nature." Flake is working on the book "largely without the knowledge of political advisers," and anonymous sources say that it is "likely to inflame debate about the direction of the Republican Party."
James Patterson and Bill Clinton are in Hollywood this week to sell the film rights to their upcoming book, The President is Missing. Although the novel won't be released until June 2018, directors and producers, including J.J. Abrams, Steven Spielberg, and George Clooney, have scheduled meetings with the authors.
Advisers for the bankruptcy estate of Gawker Media are looking into selling the company's remaining website, Gawker.com. Although the Univision sale of other Gawker Media properties stipulated that the flagship site could not be used until March of 2018, the advisers hope "to give any interested buyers time to come up with a plan for Gawker" before that date.
The New York Times talks to Max Brooks, the author of the first officially-sanctioned novel based on the video game Minecraft. An avid player, Brooks went to great lengths to make sure that everything in his novel matched the rules of the Minecraft world. "I war-gamed out everything," he said. "My biggest fear was that somebody tries to play out my book and finds out it won't work."

A New Model for Minimizing Cyber and IT Risk

Release Date: September 2012

Video Description
If your organization is like most, you are aware of IT risks and cyber risks, and engage in some form of risk management. But organizations often follow a traditional approach to managing their risks, which involves managing risks in silos. In IT Risk: Turning Business Threats Into Competitive Advantage, George Westerman outlines a new model for integrated risk management that eliminates the silo approach. This new model ensures that an organization is not exposed to unnecessary cyber or IT risks and doesn't leave profit opportunities on the table. Using the new model will provide a competitive advantage for those that use it. In this webinar, Westerman discusses how an organization can identify its most pressing risks, eliminate silos in managing risks, and use the new model to create and leverage competitive advantage.

6 Tips for Clean Living, Vitality, and Energy Inside and Out
Animate Your Wellness
6 Tips to Revitalize your Well-being
No. 1: Eat Clean
Summer is a great opportunity to eat fresh, local foods, hit up the farmers markets and enjoy cooling, raw ingredients to balance the heat of the summer. Eat clean and nourish yourself with whole, unadulterated foods that contain the intelligence of nature to increase vitality, vigor, alertness. Ween out sugars and processed foods. Incorporate detoxifying whole foods into your diet including dark leafy greens, veggies, beets, apples, avocado, artichokes, seaweed, garlic, sesame seeds too. Try adding a fresh veggie juice or super food smoothie to your daily routine.
No. 2: Hydrate & Cleanse
Hydration is key. Keep your body healthy with plenty of water. Try adding a few drops of doTERRA citrus oils like Lemon, Wild Orange, Slim & Sassy or Ginger to your water, juice or smoothies to assist internal cleansing too. Leslie starts each day with warm water and lemon oil and it has transformed her gut health, metabolism, digestion and pre-hydrates her for the day. Our gut health and digestion has a direct effect on our overall health both physically, mentally and emotionally. A healthy belly helps us to assimilate food properly and digest our experiences, emotions and life on a sensory level as well.
No. 3: Nature Reboot
Spend time outside, feel the warm sunshine on your skin, breathe in the sweet summer air. Time in nature has a healing and purifying effect on the mind, body and soul. Exercise is also great tool to stimulate your circulatory and lymphatic system and clear out the heaviness and stress in the body. Nature fuels the soul, connecting to the vastness and beauty fosters expansion and growth in our lives.
No. 4: Clean Green
Make over your cleaning routine, keep your house chemical free. Cut out the harmful and harsh chemical products and make DIY household cleaners with essential oils that are healthy for yourself and loved ones. Clean and purify the air by using OnGaurd, Purify or Citrus Oils in the Diffuser. Get lighter and declutter, donating anything you no longer need to those in need. It's amazing how much clearer you can think when your closet and house is free of clutter.
No. 5: Be Mindful
Incorporate a mindful practice into your daily routine, a time to be present, reflect, connect. This could be taking a moment to breathe consciously each day, yoga, meditation, journalling, coloring, creating, Abhyanga self massage, watching the sunset or taking a walk. Find a practice that help you to connect your mind, body and soul, to fall in love with life everyday.
No. 6: Digital Detox
All the screen time in our lives can overwhelm our senses and wear on the health of our brain, eye-sight, vitality, sleep patterns. Take a break from the screens and "unplug" one hour before bed for better sleep. Be mindful to balance your screen time daily with more nourishing activities like quality time in nature, connecting with friends and family, reading, creating, setting an intention or any of the other mindful practices.

CROSSING POINT is a tense action-thriller set in Baja, Mexico. When American Michael Taylor (played by Shawn Lock) and his Mexican girlfriend Olivia (Maria Gabriela da Faria) vacation on the beach, the film's images of drug busts contrasted with their idyllic seaside hotel foreshadow the dark premise to come. Soon the couple find themselves the target of a drug cartel asking Michael to smuggle cocaine across the border within twelve hours in order to save his girlfriend's life.
This is where the film's first turn of action begins, and it doesn't let up there. CROSSING POINT offers frenetic pacing, surprising reveals, and a complex and multi-faceted portrait of a region suffering from the drug war and border crossing policies. Shot almost entirely on location with a moving camera that never lets up, one of the great pleasures of CROSSING POINT is watching the landscape of Baja, Tijuana, and San Diego unfold before you, gorgeous scenery and abject poverty side by side. Another is watching a talented international cast play out a suspenseful drama that takes enough twists that one is unsure at times where it will go. While the film is grounded in pressing contemporary issues, it feels much more like a thrill ride than a piece of social commentary. Much of the commentary is slyly visual, while viewers get caught up in the power struggle of the players on screen.
XLRator Media will be releasing CROSSING POINT on iTunes and VOD on May 6, 2016.
I got the chance to interview Daniel Zirilli, the director of CROSSING POINT, about his vision for the film. About a week later, I was also lucky enough to speak with Shawn Lock, the lead actor who played Michael and who also co-wrote the film.
Daily Grindhouse: At the beginning of the film, it states that it is inspired by true events. How much research about drug cartels and border crossings informed the shoot?
Daniel Zirilli: When I received the script, it had that tagline from Shawn Lock. But a lot of it is based on personal experience. I grew up in San Diego and have spent a lot of time in Baja, so I was in touch with the reality of what was happening there. I wanted to make sure it was accurate.
Daily Grindhouse: I read the film was shot almost 90 percent on location, and I noticed how it contrasts the beauty of Baja with the poverty and seediness of bus stations and strip clubs. Why was it important to shoot on location?
Daniel Zirilli: There's a lot of beauty in Mexico, and we wanted to be balanced. That's why we shot it in real locations. Yes there is a lot of poverty, but there is the beauty of the beach and surfing. We wanted it to be real, and didn't want to come off as offensive.
Daily Grindhouse: The character Lucy and her uncle change surprisingly from what they initially seem. Was that meant to reflect a sort of survival technique in the city?
Daniel Zirilli: Yes, that can be a tricky concept. I've known people who were poor, and you have to have food to eat. We wanted to avoid stereotypes. Lucy is a thief with a heart of gold, she's just struggling.
Daily Grindhouse: The ticking clock and driving score are conventions that help deliver on the thriller aspect of the movie. How did you use these, or other techniques, to help heighten the suspense?
Daniel Zirilli: Yes, since Michael agrees to smuggle the drugs, he is running against time. We had to constantly move the camera, and keep things moving. One location in Baja, in a tunnel, we had to set up in five different places just to keep the action moving.
Daily Grindhouse: In many ways Michael has to fight the stereotype of the dumb white tourist, though he comes across as smart and resourceful later in the film. What decisions were made to elevate his character?
Daniel Zirilli: Well, Michael's character thinks he's in love with Olivia, and that motivates him. He is doing everything he does so she won't die.
Daily Grindhouse: There is a balance created throughout the film between the intelligence of the Drug Enforcement Agency and and the drug lords and coyote. Was keeping this balance in play intentional?
Daniel Zirilli: Yes, I wanted to show the smart work of both sides, and what the police are doing, and we had some excellent actors who broke stereotypes, especially Tom Sizemore and Jake Vargas as a Tijuana cop.
Daily Grindhouse: The tagline on your script says the story is inspired by true events. What events inspired it, and what were you hoping the audience would take away from this?
Shawn Lock: By true events, I mean stories that I've heard traveling through South America, about police characters, and people held for awhile and forced to take a package across the border. That's how the story was born. The take away is not to scare people, but to tie into the real dangers with drugs in South America.
Daily Grindhouse: The characters are usually a step behind the audience in figuring out reveals (Including Michael figuring out Olivia's role in the cartel). What purpose does this serve?
Shawn Lock: I'm not sure what purpose it serves the story. In real life everyone has motives, you trust people, relationships have multi-layered intentions. From travel experience, I know people are not always promising exactly what they are giving you.
Daily Grindhouse: Was Michael and Lucy's connection planned in the story, or what built toward this?
Shawn Lock: Lucy came in late on her way to the consulate. She was capable of looking out for herself and a smart character. After her uncle helped him, she fell for Michael. It was a good thing that happened naturally from the conflict and the trouble.
Daily Grindhouse: Do you imagine the film as a kind of political commentary on the drug war or border conflict, or both?
Shawn Lock: No, I didn't want to get caught up in making a political commentary, and push the characters into different circumstances. I've spoken and lived with people who lived on the border, so I know that's what happens, but that's more what drove the action in the movie. Just to touch on it, there's some graffiti written on the Mexican side of the border that says "We have dreams, too."
Daily Grindhouse: After all his struggles, Michael buys an "I Love Mexico" shirt toward the end of the film. Why was it important for the movie to show both the beauty and the squalor of Mexico?
Shawn Lock: I come from Belgium, and I've traveled – I've been to Tijuana, and it's important to show the beauty of Mexico, even though it has trouble with corruption. And for Michael, he's been to hell and back and still loves Mexico. And it's a little sarcastic and there's a little bit of humor, but it's about seeing the good things, like Jacob Vargas' character and the good people there.
Daily Grindhouse: Why was it important that Michael have the final revenge on Olivia (Michael calls the police in their final scene in a gas station together and ties her up while they arrive)?
Shawn Lock: I'm not sure why people see that as him trying to get revenge. It's more him trying to survive. He has to leave her behind there for the local authorities. He has to make sure she has paid for what she has done and get out alive.
