Europe's General Data Protection Regulation – comes into effect May 25, 2018, bringing with it new rules around data collection, storage and usage.
With data breaches making headlines on a regular basis, consumers are rightfully wondering how data is being collected, stored and used. The General Data Protection Regulation (or "GDPR") is the European Union's attempt at tackling this issue with a new rules around the collection, storage and processing of the information of EU Data Subjects – including end users, customers, and employees.
GDPR goes into effect May 25, 2018, and the penalties for GDPR non-compliance can amount to up to €20 million, or four percent annual global turnover – whichever is higher.
It's very important to ensure your organization is compliant and this post will help you understand how to get your data under control before the GDPR deadline.
The Rationale Behind GDPR
For a moment, let's not think about the harsh penalties. At its core, think of GDPR being about ensuring companies know what data they're collecting, that they're using secure methods to collect and store data, and that customer data is being used in reasonable and intended ways. These are all really good things.
The benefits for companies go beyond just minimizing organizational and legal risks according to Hilary Wandall, Chief Data Governance Officer of technology compliance and security company TrustArc. Companies with "their finger on the pulse of their data on a real-time basis can produce real competitive advantage," she said. And if they don't comply, there could be serious consequences beyond just fines: "any company that seriously falters with GDPR compliance may soon find that other companies no longer view them as a reliable business partner."
Many companies have grown accustomed to collecting customer data whether for reasons such as advertising or to optimize services. Preparing for GDPR means assessing your current data privacy structure and discovering where protected information is located in your enterprise.
What Personal Data Applies?
The GDPR definition of "personal data" means any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier – including name, identification number, location data or online identifier. And there are further "categories of personal data specification" for sensitive personal data including genetic data, and biometric data that are processed to uniquely identify an individual.
Even personal data that has been pseudonymised can fall within the scope of the GDPR depending on how difficult it is to attribute the pseudonym to a particular individual.
For more information on what counts as personal data, see Article 9.
Guidelines for Getting Your Data Under Control
While GDPR can seem overwhelming, here are a few guidelines that will help you make your data privacy plan work:
Awareness and responsibilities: Before anything else, key people in the organization need to know about the GDPR and appreciate the impact it could have. The organization can then designate Data Protection Officers to be responsible for data protection compliance.
Audit the information you hold: Assess the current state of your security practices, and identify gaps and design security controls around the personal data you hold and if it's shared with other individuals and systems. Under Article 30 of the GDPR requires companies to produce a variety of reports demonstrating compliance, and the systems and countries where data resides, and how different parties are processing that data. Discover and prioritize vulnerabilities.
Assign data protection officers: Designate someone to be responsible for data protection compliance and give them the needed authority within the organisation's structure and governance.
User rights to data and data removal: For incoming requests, check your procedures for deleting personal data or providing data in a commonly used format to ensure they cover all the rights individuals have. You should update your procedures and plan how to handle requests within the new timeframes.
Communication of privacy information and consent: Review your current privacy notices and how you seek, record and manage consent, and refresh them if they don't meet the GDPR standard. For children, you may need to verify age and/or obtain consent from a parental or guardian for any data processing activity.
Establish the lawfulness of your data processing practices: Identify how your processing activity fits into the GDPR, then document it and update your privacy notice to explain it.
What happens in a data breach: Assess your procedures to detect, report and investigate a personal data breach.
International jurisdictional issues: Where an alleged breach of the GDPR involves cross-border data processing, investigations will be led by a lead data protection supervisory authority (or "LSA"). If your organisation operates in more than one EU member state, you can determine your LSA.
Putting Control & Privacy at the Core of Your Data Practices Prepares you for New Regulations
While privacy and data protection compliance is often thought of as an afterthought, "privacy by design" is an approach that's becoming popular and it involves promoting data privacy best practices from the very start. GDPR doesn't require this approach, but it could help better ensure that new services are compliant.
The bottomline is that good data practices ensure that your organization knows what data it's collecting, how it's being used, and what risks it poses. And it also helps an organization leverage personal data in ways that are responsible and that benefit the business – which should be the reason for collecting the data in the first place.
If you're struggling with GDPR, there's still time! One of the ways we can help is through our GDPR consulting service, which we designed to make it quick, easy and cost-effective for companies to become compliant.CONTACT US TODAY

Thousands of unpaid bloggers attempting to claim millions of dollars from Huffington Post have had their case dismissed by a court in New York.
The bloggers had claimed that their contributions to the website meant they should be given a share of the profits following its $315m sale to AOL last April.
But US district court judge John Koeltl ruled the bloggers were fully aware they would not be paid for their work when they signed up.
'No one forced the plaintiffs to give their work to The Huffington Post for publication and the plaintiffs candidly admit that they did not expect compensation,'he said.
He added: 'Quite simply, the plaintiffs offered a service and the defendants offered exposure in return, and the transaction occurred exactly as advertised. The defendants followed through on their end of the agreed-upon bargain.
"That the defendants ultimately profited more than the plaintiffs might have expected does not give the plaintiffs a right to change retroactively their clear, up-front agreement. That is an effort to change the rules of the game after the game has been played, and equity and good conscience require no such result."
The lawsuit was launched by labour activist and writer Jonathan Tasini, who wrote more than 200 unpaid columns for the website before the AOL, and the class action was taken on behalf of around 9,000 bloggers.
A Huffington Post spokesperson said: 'This judgment removes any question about the merits of this case and we look forward to continuing the mutually beneficial relationship we share with our growing roster of interesting, dedicated and engaging bloggers."
Tasini, however, vowed to continue his fight, telling the Australian newspaper: 'We're using the lawsuit to spark a movement and an organising effort among bloggers to set a standard for the future because this idea that all individual creators should work for free is like a cancer spreading through every media property on the globe."

If you only bake one muffin this summer, let this be the one. These are just wonderful!! Moist and delicious and stogged full of summer berries!
They rise really high, like wowowow! You will be amazed, I guarantee.
You can use any combination of summer berries, or even just one kind if you prefer. I used raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and black currants today and they were extra scrummy!
I also like to scatter some baked granola cereal on the tops for added texture, a bit of crunch . . . and I just love how it looks!
So wholesome and oaty . . . almost healthy.
The yoghurt makes them really moist and then there are some oats in the batter as well, which is good for your heart. If you use no fat yoghurt (like I did) then this keeps the calorie count down as well, whick equates to only about a tsp per muffin.
Fruit, oats, yoghurt, granola . . .what more could you ask for in a muffin???
*Berry Yogurt Muffins*
Makes 6 large muffins
Printable Recipe
Moist and delicious and stogged full of berries. I used a mixture of blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and black currants today. Scrummo!
225g self raising flour ( 1 1/2 cups)
30g old fashioned rolled oats (1/3 cup)
3 large free range eggs
165g soft light brown sugar (3/4 cup packed)
200g of plain yoghurt (3/4 cup)
80ml vegetable oil (1/3 cup)
180g of fresh or frozen berries (about 1 1/2 cups)
6 TBS of granola cereal
Preheat the oven to 200*C/400*F. Grease a six hole Texas size muffin tin really well. Set aside.
Sift the flour into a bowl. Whisk in the oats. Beat together the brown sugar, yoghurt, oil and eggs. Stir gently into the flour mixture, mixing only to combine. Fold in the berries. Spoon into the greased muffin tin. Sprinke about 1 TBS of granola over top of each.
Bake for 20 minutes, until well risen , and the tops spring back when lightly touched. ALlow to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before turning out to cool completely. Store in a tightly covered container for up to two days.

Ole Miss has been hit with some NCAA sanctions over the next couple years and it looks like they are not only losing former five-star quarterback Shea Patterson, but they will be losing a former Under Armour All-American in outside linebacker Breon Dixon. He took to Twitter to announce the beginning of his next move:
The Georgia native was a freshman this season and enrolled in January. The former four-star linebacker was ranked as the No. 12 inside linebacker in the class of 2017 and No. 26 recruit in the state according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. The 6-foot, 218-pound Dixon had offers from Louisville, TCU, Georgia, Alabama and Auburn among others coming out of high school, but it remains to be seen where he might land next season.

3rd Oct 2018, New Delhi
The pharmaceutical intellectual property aspects of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which was agreed on Monday to replace the former North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) accord, have come in for criticism from the Canadian Generic Pharmaceutical Association (CGPA).
The trade group's president, Jim Keon, points out that Canada was not at the table when harmful intellectual property provisions were negotiated between the USA and Mexico. The pharmaceutical provisions in USMCA will delay access to competition from biosimilar biologic drugs. Biologic medicines represent the fastest growing cost segment of health-care spending, and these delays will be costly to patients, businesses that sponsor employee drug plans, private payers and our industry, he said.
The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement is disappointing for the vast majority of Canadians who feel access to more affordable prescription medicines is the most important aspect of the negotiations. A recent poll found that four in five Canadians feel that it is important that the negotiations should not delay Canadians access to more affordable versions of expensive biologic drugs. Four in five Canadians also say it's important that the agreement not create new barriers for the implementation of National Pharmacare in Canada.
While the government of Canada says it is committed to improving access to necessary prescription medication and reducing the amounts Canadian governments pay for these drugs this is unfortunately not what they have achieved by agreeing to concessions that reduce access to essential medicines and increase costs for those who pay for drugs, according to Mr Keon.
The USMCA pharmaceutical intellectual property concessions are the latest hit for access to affordable prescription medicines for Canadians. Canada's intellectual property regime for pharmaceuticals was amended in September 2017 as a result of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with the European Union. The Parliamentary Budget Officer has conservatively estimated that the two-year patent term extension included in CETA will cost Canadians more $500 million annually.
The pharmaceutical intellectual provisions included in the final text are extensive, and other aspects of the text are concerning. The CGPA is conducting a comprehensive review of the text to ensure there are no additional negative consequences for the Canadian health-care system, Mr Keon concluded.

The house to which Winnie Madikizela-Mandela was banished by the apartheid government in the 70s will soon put the sleepy town of Brandfort in the Free State on the tourism map.
This as the house is finally being restored.
Allegations of monies gone missing after having been allocated for restoration by the province have dogged the project for years.
Winnie Madikizela-Mandela's house was for years similar to others in Majwemasweu.
In 2005 it was declared a National Heritage site and finally after years of empty promises to restore the house, it's finally being done.
Director General of the Department of Arts and Culture Vusimuzi Mkhize says: "It must look exactly the way it was when she lived there. It's not just about restoring the house it's also about creating what we call a proper museum with the restoration of the bombed clinic as well as creating the interpretive centre and also an internet hub so that people who live in Brandfort can go and use it for internet purposes, students for research and their study work."
This has sparked renewed hope among the residents.
"I'm so excited and very happy about the project because it has been long so it is going to benefit especially our kids and also the community of Brandfort. We will be very happy about the project," says a resident.
"As a resident in Brandfort I'm very happy because our children are going to see tourists coming here. Our children will learn a lot about what was happening here when Winnie was living here," adds another resident.
About R3 million has been budgeted for the restoration.
The post Winnie's Brandfort house to be restored appeared first on SABC News – Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader..

Background Lightspeed Rocket
Do not you Just hate slow websites? Well, you're definitely not alone. Your visitors despise them too– and, to make matters worse, so does Google. That is right, if you'd like your site to rank highly in search engines, sell more products, generate more leads, earn more revenue, or simply deliver a more positive user experience, it must load fast. Lightspeed Rocket
click here to begin with WP Rocket now!
So how Can you create your WordPress site quicker? Well, if you're still using a generic shared hosting company, among the best options will, naturally, be to just switch to a greater performance hosting company. However, what if you just have not got the time or money to make the switch?
Well, Fortunately, there's something different you can do that's extremely quick and easy — something which requires next-to-no technical know-how whatsoever! I am speaking, of course, about using a caching plugin.
Today, I'll be taking an comprehensive look at one of the primary caching plugins round. WP Rocket. In the next review, I'll show you by exactly how much — and how readily — it can accelerate your website (using real-life evaluations and actual data).
What is WordPress Caching?
Caching Involves generating — and storing — a readymade static (i.e. unchanging) version of your website in your server ready to show to visitors at a moment's notice. This reduces the need for your website (or the consumer's browsers) to communicate back and forth with the host to build the behind-the-scenes information that creates your site's web pages.
With less Communication happening between servers, and less data being loaded each time your website is accessed, the time it takes to load your posts and pages is considerably reduced.
WP Rocket Will potentially.
· Cache all the posts and pages on your own website
· Allow browser caching
· Defer loading of JavaScript documents
· Decrease bandwidth utilization with gzip compression
· optimise Google fonts
· minify and concatenate CSS and JS files
· Defer loading of images.
You might Be wondering what happens in the event that you publish a new blog article on a cached site, because, presumably, an unchanging cached version of your site wouldn't take this newly created data into consideration.
Not so! WP Rocket will regenerate the cached pieces of your site each time you update your articles, thereby ensuring your visitors will always see the most up-to-date version of your website.
Features of WP Rocket
It is worth Pointing out that, when it comes to features independently, WP Rocket compares pretty favourably with its rivals. Granted, you're probably more curious about just how much faster your site will probably be after installing WP Rocket (and rightfully so), but it's nice to know you are not missing out on some important attributes.
With WP Rocket, you get page caching, cache preloading, gzip compression, browser caching, Google Fonts optimization, picture and movie Lazy Load, minification, plus a great deal more.
If you do Choose to explore the additional settings and options WP Rocket supplies, you will see it's a couple of tricks up its sleeve to get possibly improving speed even further, like the choice to simply load media files (like pictures ) whenever the visitor reaches them onto a page (a feature called Lazy Loading).
One of The highlights of WP Rocket is its easy installation process, which makes it a pretty much fool proof caching choice for busy WordPress webmasters. It is described as being'childishly easy to set up' — something customers who only need to get the job done and proceed will almost surely appreciate. Lightspeed Rocket
click here to begin with WP Rocket now!
In fact, Once the plugin has been uploaded and activated on your website, the cache will be automatically generated when someone visits the site. Everybody visiting your website thereafter should instantly start experiencing significantly faster loading times. Simple!
WP Rocket Aims to remove all such confusion by being mechanically up-and-running right out of the box without being overly stiff that it is unable to deliver excellent results. After activating WP Rocket, you will see only a couple of tabs around the admin panel, each with just a few easy-to-understand settings.
You can See the rest of the basic settings screen here. While there are a couple more options to work with, the plugin works just fine without any of them empowered. This truly is plug'n' play caching for WordPress!
Of Course, it's recommended that you browse the online documentation to actually see what this plugin could do and just how much additional performance you can squeeze out of it, however, for those in a hurry (or using zero technical interest from the ins-and-outs of caching), it is safe to say that speeding up your site using WP Rocket couldn't be made easier.
FAST AND Effortless SETUP
The main Selling point of WP Rocket is how easy it makes enabling caching on your site. With most other caching plugins, you're faced with the sometimes daunting task of understanding — and filling out — multiple pages of settings and options. Based on how you configure them, you could easily end up inadvertently doing something somewhat screwy (and even, in rare cases, inadvertently breaking your site).
WP Rocket Can be compatible with content delivery network (CDN) services. If your site is large enough to warrant distributing its documents to multiple servers across the world for faster loading times, you'll find WP Rocket over accommodating.
There's Also the choice to modify the default cache interval. However, unless you are displaying particularly fast-changing or important external dynamic content on your own site (for instance, critical content from social networking feeds), the default option 24-hour lifespan should be OK.
Cache — Basic Cache Options
The Cache tab enables you to control How your page caching functions at a fundamental level. you're able to. Lightspeed Rocket
· Include/exclude cellular users from seeing cached pages.
· Include/exclude logged-in users from visiting cached pages.
· Enable caching on HTTPS pages.
· Choose how long a webpage remains cached before the cache gets cleared (the default is 10 hours).
The Majority of the time, you can Render these as the defaults.
Media — Lazy loading + More
In the Media tab, then you can empower Lazy loading for videos or images, as well as disable WordPress emojis and embeds.
One feature That is really nice here's the option to replace YouTube movie iframes using a static preview image. If you embed lots of YouTube videos on your website, this really is a great way to accelerate your site without sacrificing much, if anyusability.
File Optimization — Minification And Concatenation
The File Optimization tab is Where you can set up WP Rocket's minification and concatenation functionality.
· Minification — shrinks the size of your website's code by removing unnecessary characters (such as whitespace) without changing any functionality.
· Concatenation — minimizes the amount of documents on your website by combining multiple CSS/JS files into one.
You can also set up some other Settings such as.
· Remove render-blocking CSS/JS (PageSpeed Insights is notorious for yelling at you concerning this problem ).
· Combining Google Fonts documents (useful if you use multiple Google Fonts in your website ).
· Remove query strings from static sources (this one won't have a big effect, but it might enhance your GTmetrix score, even if you care about that).
I recommend Enabling as many of these settings as you can. I say as possible because a number of those settings for CSS or JS may cause difficulties with your site (this is not WP Rocket's fault — it is always a potential problem with minification/concatenation).
What I enjoy is that WP Rocket Makes this clear once you go to activate one of these settings.
Three cheers for good UX Layout!
Preload — Preload Your Own Cache File
Without Preloading, your site only"assembles" the cache for a page when someone actually visits the page. That means the first visitor following the cache lifespan expires doesn't observe the cached version (because the cache has not been constructed yet).
Cache Preloading lets you guarantee all visitors view the quick-loading cached page by"warming" yourself, instead of waiting for a person to see the page.
One of those Benefits of all WP Rocket is the fact that it provides you two distinct ways to preload your cache, whereas some caching plugins do not even offer one.
· Sitemap preloading — Reload your cache based on each of the pages in your sitemap.xml file. It's low impact, however the disadvantage is that it doesn't cache newly published or edited posts.
· Preload bot — mechanically crawls URLs after you publish/edit a post to ensure that recently edited/published content can be preloaded. The only downside is that it is a little bit more resource intensive, which could cause issues on"weak" servers. Lightspeed Rocket
You can choose to utilize zero, One, or both approaches to preload your cache, depending on your requirements.
Database — Clean Up Your Database
As your website ages, your Database will pick up all types of"gunk" in the form of revisions, trashed opinions, transients, etc..
This area helps you clean out All that unnecessary junk from your database with a single click.
Personally, I find this to be The least exciting area of WP Rocket because there are loads of free plugins that do a fantastic job cleaning your database. However, I guess the key advantage here is that WP Rocket removes the need for you to install another plugin.
CDN — Integrate With Your CDN
Should you use a CDN to accelerate The global delivery of your site, WP Rocket can help you.
· Rewrite your URLs to use your CDN
· Exclude specific files from the CDN
While you can Discover complimentary Plugins to perform the first component, the next component, in addition to the fact that you can reserve CNAMEs for specific document types, provides you more flexibility than most of these free options.
For example, you could use one CNAME for your images, and another for the remainder of your documents.
If you're using Cloudflare, WP Rocket also includes a dedicated Cloudflare add-on which can help you get setup using Cloudflare and control certain aspects of the Cloudflare service directly from the WP Rocket interface.
And that pretty much sums up The brand new WP Rocket 3.0 interface!
Through The plugin settings, you could even enable caching for both mobile users and logged-in users all with a simple click. After moving on to the'advanced' tab, however, things start to get a bit more complicated.
To give you greater control over how caching Functions on your website, you are also free to exclude pages in the cache by adding their URLS into the'not cache the following pages'
Through The CDN tab, you can configure the plugin to work together with your content delivery network of choice, while the tools section provides you fast access to the clear and preload cache programs.
What's? More, in the event you get stuck, the FAQ and support tabs make it incredibly simple to access the online instruction, and also open a support ticket from within your WordPress dashboard — a beautiful touch!
Overall, WP Rocket aims to be everything to all people. On one hand, it is quite easy to prepare and start using on your site with default settings that truly produce great outcomes, nevertheless, on the flip side, there's also a much large choice of configurations and options to appeal to more sophisticated users with particular needs, or those who demand more control over how caching functions on their website.
By Default, each time you print a new article or add new content to your site, WP Rocket will automatically regenerate that portion of the cache. Not only that, but will also refresh the associated parts of the cache (such as the archive pages, menus, or widgets). Lightspeed Rocket
If You need to refresh everything in the cache, however (not just recently updated or altered content), you can induce WP Rocket to regenerate it from scratch. Going a step further, you'll also find choices to have unrelated parts of your website automatically regenerated when a new post, page, merchandise, comment, or another kind of content has added.
field. (Note. Shopping cart and checkout pages are automatically excluded in the cache as part of the eCommerce support of WP Rocket.)
Documentation And Support
While Using WP Rocket out of the box is very straightforward, should you get stuck or wish to know more about the intricacies of how it functions, there's quite a bit of high-quality documentation provided — such as a getting started section, different tutorials, useful FAQs and a convenient troubleshooting section.
As long As your license remains active, you can even open tickets with assistance to receive whatever WP Rocket-related help you need?
My WP Rocket Testing Outcomes
As Mentioned at the top of this guide, I had excellent results from using WP Rocket to cache my WordPress site. By analyzing the rate of my website with GTmetrix — with the default settings of WP Rocket and simply uploading and activating the plugin prior to creating the cache and conducting the tests — that the ordinary page loading times dropped from 2.2 seconds to 0.9.
The site I tested the plugin on was a WordPress blog with the free Twenty Twelve theme, with about 80 posts and 37 plugins. The website is hosted on an entry level shared hosting plan in HostGator, and does not have any CDN in drama.
No two WordPress sites will be the same, however, so these results may not be typical for many sites. They do, however, show that a very fundamental WordPress site on the cheapest hosting will almost certainly be able to achieve significantly improved load times using the plugin.
Other Ways to Accelerate Your WordPress Website
Whether You opt to use WP Rocket in your website or not, there are a range of different means to accelerate your WordPress website that is well worth mentioning, such as.
· Deactivating all redundant plugins (many plugins will significantly slow down your website )
· Assessing and optimising all pictures
· Employing a CDN support
· Updating into a WordPress-specific high-performance hosting company, for example WP Engine or Flywheel(if your budget permits ).
All of These are well worth trying in the event that you haven't already.
WP Rocket Pricing
With Prices beginning at only $39 for use on one WordPress site, WP Rocket is an inexpensive option for many. There are also some other strong free selections available — such as WP Super Cache, and, for the technically minded, W3 Total Cache (to name but two of many. If you're looking for something which's exceptionally easy to prepare and use, though, and also provides access to a very helpful premium support desk, WP Rocket is a strong competitor.
The complete Pricing choices are as follows. Lightspeed Rocket
· Personal. $39 (1 sites)
· Company. $99 (3 websites )
· Pro. $199 (unlimited sites)
All Options include one year's access to plugin updates and support. After this period, you can keep on using the plugin unsupported or renew your permit to maintain access. There's also a 30-day refund on offer in case you aren't entirely pleased with the plugin later purchase.
WP Rocket Is really quite impressive. Not only is it extremely easy to use, it also provides great results.
Most of The activities you'll be able to execute to optimise the speed of your website take considerable time and effort — whether that is optimising media documents, reviewing and consolidating your plugins, migrating to a different web host or altering topics. WP Rocket, on the other hand, can be implemented to your site in just a few clicks.
What's More, if you're a WordPress freelancer, if helping customers with their present sites or creating websites from scratch, then having something like WP Rocket in your toolkit could be of enormous benefit. In only a few minutes, you'll be able to accelerate a client's site and provide them concrete outcomes (in the form of'before and after' online rates evaluations ), also, when the very best way to distinguish yourself from your competition would be to provide more value to this client, things like this can definitely help.
As a Data-backed article on Moz puts it. "Quick websites have more visitors, who see more pages for longer periods of time, who come back more frequently, and are typically more inclined to purchase products or click ads."
Due to Its quick set-up procedure, speeding up your site using WP Rocket is an easy triumph in the war against slow load times.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is continuing the fight against the Zika virus with $184 million in grants, including about $300,000 for Indiana. Zika can cause serious birth defects, including microcephaly.
The money is part of the Zika Response and Preparedness Appropriations Act of 2016 and will help cover the costs of things like preparedness programs, birth defect surveillance and improving mosquito control.
CDC Spokesperson Benjamin Haynes says health officials expect to see the virus in the U.S. 2017, at least in the two states that already have local transmission, which are Florida and Texas.
Haynes says although Indiana is less likely to see Zika, residents, especially pregnant women, should still be cautious when traveling.
"The threat is to pregnant women and the link between Zika and birth defects," Haynes says. "I mean, that's our top priority right now, is protecting women."
Haynes says Hoosiers who are pregnant, or who are trying to become pregnant, shouldn't travel to areas where there is local transmission of the Zika virus.

Empirical data was obtained through the administration of questionnaires to 131 respondents. The study findings were that public confidence in the banking sector was low and it was affected by a number of factors. The study concluded that the low public confidence significantly impacted the performance of banks in Zimbabwe. The study recommended the restoration of the role of the RBZ by capacitating its regulatory, supervisory and monitoring role in the financial sector, strengthening of corporate governance in the banking sector and the review of compensation offered to depositors by the Deposit Protection Corporation. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Modelling consumer behaviour conceptually through the seven Ps of marketing: A revised theoretical generic consumer stimulus-response model http://hdl.handle.net/10646/3237 Title: Modelling consumer behaviour conceptually through the seven Ps of marketing: A revised theoretical generic consumer stimulus-response model Authors: Muzondo, Noel Abstract: Hypothesising in the marketing stimuli component of existing consumer stimulus-response models is limited to the traditional four Ps of marketing—i.e. product, price, promotion, and place. This underplays the important role played by the soft elements of marketing — i.e. people, processes, and physical evidence — in shaping consumer behaviour. The significance of the three soft Ps is recognised in emergent specialist marketing literature such as corporate identity, branding, relationship marketing, services marketing and selected generic marketing and consumer behaviour literature. This paper reviews two seminal complex and eight simplified frameworks of consumer behaviour, alongside the above-stated literature, to conceptually validate the notion that the soft elements of marketing influence customer response in both tangible goods- and service-dominant sectors. Leading academics have insisted on interpreting the soft Ps of marketing as relevant to service organisations only, notwithstanding the growing evidence that the Ps are also suitable to manufacturing firms. Accordingly, the theoretical implication for this paper is that; the marketing stimuli component of consumer stimulus-response models should be modified to include the soft Ps. This implies that marketers, regardless of the sector they work in, should apply the seven Ps of marketing to craft responsive operational marketing strategies. Consequently, the paper proposes a revised theoretical generic consumer stimulus-response model that encompasses the soft elements of marketing. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Critical issues in destination (re)branding: Evidence from Zimbabwe's national tourism organisation http://hdl.handle.net/10646/2864 Title: Critical issues in destination (re)branding: Evidence from Zimbabwe's national tourism organisation Authors: Hurombo, Brighton; Muzondo, Noel; Kaseke, Nyasha Abstract: Zimbabwe went through an unprecedented political and economic crisis between 1999 and 2009 which had severe effects on its tourism and other productive sectors. The main objective of this study was to identify the critical issues Zimbabwe needed to address to re-brand itself as a competitive tourist destination since the subsiding of the crisis in March 2009. Data to fulfill the study's objective was gathered through a questionnaire administered to employees of the country's national tourism organisation, the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority. Six critical issues that influence nation re-branding were extracted from the data using principal component analysis. The tentative managerial implication of the paper was that Zimbabwe needed to consider the six key issues in its tourism destination re-branding effort. The academic implication of the study was that the issues need to be further empirically tested with data from representative samples of respondents drawn from a wide range of stakeholders in tourism destination marketing. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Exploring the root causes of the de-industrialization of the Zimbabwe's manufacturing sector (2009-2014) http://hdl.handle.net/10646/2846 Title: Exploring the root causes of the de-industrialization of the Zimbabwe's manufacturing sector (2009-2014) Authors: Muponda, Godfrey Abstract: Capacity underutilization is often cited as evidence that Zimbabwe's manufacturing sector is undergoing a process of "de-industrialization". This study proposes that this process can be traced to two interrelated factors: competition from imported products as a result of the dollarization of the economy and the undercapitalization of the firms. The purpose of the study was to measure the extent to which manufacturing firms in Zimbabwe can be said to be "undercapitalized" and to trace the source(s) of capacity underutilization. The study used published financial statements of a stratified random sample of eighteen manufacturing firms listed on the ZSE and concluded that Zimbabwe's manufacturing firms were operating on an aged asset base and were using an inappropriate competitive strategy. This strategy needs to be consciously reversed and new capital needs to be attracted using a modified form of "venture capitalism". 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z

It has been clearly and repeatedly demonstrated that punishment can very successfully be used to manage habits. The principle of legality is captured in the Latin phrase "nullum crimen sine lege, nulla poena sine lege," which, roughly translated, means "no crime nor punishment without legislation." In essence, the principle of legality means that felony legal responsibility and punishment should be based solely upon a prior enactment of a prohibition that is expressed with enough precision and readability.

Bam Construction has won the contract to build a £30m operating centre for Network Rail in Basingstoke
The three-storey building will be used as a signalling control centre for the Wessex region. The facility will include internal and external training facilities, as well as office space for rail staff.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) will be used throughout the construction of the 13,600 sq m facility, allowing for efficient construction and deeper design team and supply chain collaboration.
A series of failsafe mechanisms have been put in place to ensure smooth operation in case of a disaster, including electricity supply from two substations.
The plans also consider sustainability in their aims to achieve a BREEAM Very Good rating.
Bam Construction manager Chris Edwards said: "BAM is delighted to have been trusted to deliver another major scheme for Network Rail and is determined to ensure its work benefits not only staff and passengers but the wider economy and community in Basingstoke."
The project is scheduled for completion in November 2014.

Date – November 21, 2010
Location – Map 3 Short Hills
Distance – 8.1 km
Hikers – Dean, Marlene, Benjamin, Steve, Elza, Simon and Robyn
Start – 43.9 Niagara, Oille Street
End – 51 Niagara, Staff Avenue, Louth Conservation Area
Direction – West (north)
Weather – cool, grey
Details – We meet at Louth Conservation Area and leave a vehicle, then drive in the blue Dodge Caravan (the one that took us across the country in 2006) to Oille Street. It's a cool, grey day – perfect for hiking. Ben and Simon head off at a fast pace ahead of us and we don't see or hear them again until near the end, when they hide and come up behind us. The mothers are only slightly worried, because we know they know how to read the blazes. The trail is very hilly. Simon and Ben like to throw large branches down steep banks, and Steve spends some time pushing over a standing snag. We pass Rockway Falls, a gun range, and another waterfall in Louth Conservation Area. We enjoy it very much and we are all glad to be hiking.
It's also the first hike with the new, smaller camera, so there are now many more photos to choose from.

Martin Robbins ASKED THE GUIDE
How long does it take to finance and register a car?
I will be returning to WA after being out the country for a number of years and I'd like to know how long it would take to get finance and register a car. The reason I ask is that I will be hiring a car at the airport and need to know how long I need to make the hire.
You should be able to get finance in a day or two, allow another couple of days to prepare the car and get it registered, so you should be able to do it all in a week.

Planning a crowdfunding campaign: All you need to know.
In today's complicated investment environment especially in frontier markets, crowdfunding is gradually becoming a more accessible way of raising capital. It is basically the opposite of mainstream approach to business finance. It bypasses the process of putting together your business plan, market research, prototype building and shopping your idea to a few wealthy individuals by granting you access to a wider audience and potential contributors including your friends and loved ones. In the following interview, Mr. Owen Wallis shares his thoughts about crowdfunding
What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is about more than just raising funds. It's about getting validation for your idea, creating brand awareness, growing your audience and making the most of the brilliant opportunities that arise while your project is running
Planning your project
Crowdfunding projects do not go live and get magically funded. They take a lot of hard work and preparation. I recommend spending at least a month on getting your project ready before you launch.
Research is key; find other projects that are crowdfunding for similar things or causes. Understand what they did right and apply that to your own. It's important to research both successful and failed projects, so you can learn from those mistakes.
Building a team
Think about your strengths and weaknesses. Are there any gaps in your own skill set that need to be filled? Do you know someone who can help with the video, with promoting the project on social media? Do you know someone who is well connected in the relevant industry who could help spread the word?
Identify your crowd
The best way to start is to gather your team together and start drawing a map of your network. Who in your close family or friends list will pledge first to help build momentum? Which Facebook groups can you use to help promote your project? Which key influencers do you know on social media who could help? Who could help with corporate sponsorship?
Think about which communication tools are best for each group. For example, who do you usually reach via email, who's best to reach by phone or on Facebook? Add these notes to your network map.
When spreading the word about your Crowdfunder, always start with the people closest to you, before engaging with others. People who already know you are more likely to support your project than those who don't. Similarly, people who are already aware of your business are also more likely to engage than those who are not.
Creating your project
When visitors land on your project, you need make a connection quickly and get them excited about your project. To do this well you'll need make sure your description is structured, concise and engaging. Add some images and testimonials to give it a professional-looking finish. Again looking at successful projects in your niche is a great way to learn how to structure your project.
If you are offering rewards they should be good value for money. If one of your rewards is available elsewhere, apply a discount of 20-30% as a great way of making it attractive to your crowd.
Limited rewards are a fantastic was of securing early support. Having just a small number available is a good way to get your crowd motivated. Offer authentic mementos or opportunities to leave a legacy in some way.
Have a few rewards priced at around £20 as this where a good chunk of pledges are made, and spread them evenly across different price points from £10 to £100 and include some sort of sponsorship at the top end to attract support from businesses or large organisations.
Owen Wallis is the Head of Product for HYPERLINK "http://crowdfunder.co.uk/"Crowdfunder.co.uk. He's been at the company since it started and has helped thousands of projects raise over £40 million on the platform. Before Crowdfunder Owen managed a top 10 Digital Production company in London, before that he created interactive installations for Cadburys, CERN and the BBC, worked in Sydney Australia at an advertising agency, and worked on corporate communications for Audi and Volkswagen.

Thanks for all the pieces!

The MHAMD Legislative Briefing and Reception is attended annually by several hundred individuals, including legislators and other government officials, behavioral health professionals, provider organizations, consumers, family members and advocates. The 2019 program will include an overview of upcoming legislation, an award ceremony celebrating Maryland behavioral health champions and a keynote presentation.
Sue Klebold, our keynote presenter, is among the parents whose anguish most of us will never know. Not only did she lose her son Dylan, who was one of the individuals who carried out the Columbine school shooting nearly 20 years ago, but as a parent survivor she bears the overwhelming guilt resulting from this senseless loss of life in her ordinary suburban community.
In the aftermath of the tragedy, Sue remained out of the public eye while struggling with devastating grief and humiliation. Her search for understanding would span over fifteen years, during which she volunteered for suicide prevention organizations, questioned experts, talked with fellow survivors of loss, and examined the crucial intersection between mental health and violence. As a result of her exploration, Sue emerged a passionate advocate, dedicated to the advancement of mental health awareness, research and suicide prevention.
At a time when school shootings and similar tragedies are occurring with more and more frequency, we look to stories like Sue's for insight that can help inform and shape policy that keeps Maryland schools and institutions safe while ensuring our children with mental health needs have access to necessary and appropriate resources.

Weekly NFL Matchup Predictions
FootballPickEmPool.net will be providing weekly NFL match-up suggestions based on the Elo rating system. Basically, NFL teams are ranked each week to determine win probabilities for each game. Data blog FiveThirtyEight used this system during the 2014 season, and they gave a good explanation of how this works
Team rankings are updated each week. A team's rating will always go up with a win and down with a loss. The amount it changes will depend on the rating of the opponent, their win probability and margin of victory. Aside from a small benefit to home field advantage, this system does not take into account factors other than past performance. So the health of a key player, weather, etc., are not considered.
So this system is best used as a supplement to other resources to predict outcomes, but it may help provide an edge, particularly in the hard-to-call match-ups.
Select the upcoming week to see predictions for your NFL pick 'em pool sheet:

Ready to go
I am writing this post from a hotel room in North Jersey (northern New Jersey for those of you outside of the area) where I am getting ready to compete in Grappler's Quest in a few hours. I am feeling pretty calm and prepared right now but I typically am until right before I step on the mat.
This tournament is a new first for me though. It is the first time I cut weight to make a division. I got down to about 145 for the NY Open and the weight divisions for GQ were 120-139.9 or 140-160. I really had no desire to come in at the bottom of a 20 pound division so I decided to go for the 120-140 division.
After a good meal following the NY Open, I started this week at 148. I restricted all salt and started drinking massive amounts of water on Monday, two gallons a day until Thursday where I cut back to one gallon. I also cut back on food so that I was hardly eating any sugar (I typically try to stick to paleo anyway so this wasn't too hard but I did miss fruit!) and skipped my post gym shake for the week.
Yesterday I woke up at an even 144. I had some coffee in the morning (as I had to function as a human I could not skip coffee) and then about 6 ounces of water. For the rest of the day I had about 8 walnuts, a spoonful of coconut oil and sips of water when my mouth got so dry I couldn't stand it.
Around noon I headed to New Jersey wearing sweats (in the midst of quite a heat wave here, my car thermometer was over 100 for most of the drive) and drove the whole way with the windows down so I could get my sweat on. When I got to the hotel and weighed in, I was at 141.2. Close but not there yet.
Luckily I have a training buddy in the area and I headed over to his house where we were going to head to his gym to use the sauna. I decided the time had come to get serious so I put my sweats back on, got in the car and drove to his house (about half an hour) with the windows up and no fan of any kind on in the car.
By the time I got to his house I was drenched and hotter than I've ever been in my life. We headed to his gym and I checked my weight there, 139lb and 12oz (it was a very fancy scale). Under 140 but I wanted a little more insurance so I sat in the sauna for a combined 20 minutes or so and sweated out another pound.
We then headed over to the arena where the event is taking place and waited in 3 very long lines. One to get checked off a list and hand stamped (in a completely unfair world the line for those pre-registered was 10x longer than the one for people who were registering there), one for weigh in and, inexplicably, a third to get a receipt that said you registered and weighed in. My official weight was 138.8, woohoo!
I am hoping the knowledge that I am in a lower weight class this time than I've ever competed in before will give me a psychological boost when I compete. My coach also suggested warming up more before I compete because I am, as he put it, "a slow starter". I can't argue with this, I do tend to ease into rolling like an old lady into a bath. After last week's pulling guard debacle, I am also determined to stay standing until one of us gets a takedown.
No-gi should be interesting as GQ considers 18 months or more of training to be "advanced" (we'll get into the unfairness of competing as a woman in another post) so I am curious to see who is in my division. Hopefully if the black belts show up today, they dispatch of me with little damage 🙂 At least gi is blue belt only!
So win or lose today, I just hope I can go out there and leave it all on the mat. A lot of people from my team are competing so it will be a fun day no matter what. Ok, enough typing…time to get ready for war!

I dreamed that Alex and I both had jobs at a place. We were in different sections but I saw him in passing from time to time. One day we were under attack. I was in an auditorium and men with machine guns came in. Someone really close to me got shot at. I put my hands up but they didn't care. So I ran and escaped out the side door. I was looking for Alex and saw a giant Winnie the Pooh balloon. I knew without a doubt that's where he would be. Sure enough he was hiding behind it and when I found him he gave me a big hug. Then we were separated again and I was working in the stained glass division which, for some reason, I thought made me safer.
Our life became repetitive threats though- at any time, these men could come in killing. I started sitting near the far doors in auditoriums so I could be among the first one la out of a room. One day two men burst in on me and another girl while we were using the bathroom. The bathroom was weird- no stalls just two toilets next to each other, but by this point we didn't have any shame. They weren't there to kill us though, just to clean up water in the bathroom. They said they would come back the next week.
We were trying to come up with an escape plan but hadn't by the time I woke up. The dream was very repetitive- running, worrying, waiting. Running, worrying, waiting.

Allow User to Customize External Editors ListAnswered
Aside from the not-yet-available DAM capabilities, which is necessary before I can seriously use Luminar, the thing I miss most converting from Exposure X3 (Alien Skin) is the ability to specify which external editors I want to use to "Edit In" or "Edit Copy In."
You give me access to your software, which is fine, but I'm using Luminar because I wanted to use a program other than Aperture, Photos, and/or Adobe products. In Exposure I can access Affinity Photo PLUS Luminar and Aurora... and others.
Thanks for considering my suggestion.
