Is A Beyonce & Cardi B Collaboration On The Way?
(AllHipHop Rumors) It was shock to many to see Beyonce posed beside Cardi B for a photo op at Made In America, so wait until you hear this one!
Word on the curb is the two allegedly have a collaboration in the works!
A recording engineer by the name of Ashby posted a screenshot of a recording session that dropped a major secret.
The post showed the words, "Cardi B," and "Beyonce" as one of the files track names.
"Somebody's getting fired (Beyonce voice)!"
Ashby posted the photo with an emoji saying,
"Wow this is a big feature."
As the Beyhive was extremely excited about the news, a Beyonce fan account even tweeted out that the song is confirmed, finished, and is set to be on Cardi B's upcoming album.
Folks seem to think Cardi has Nicki Minaj feeling the pressure to get back on her sh-t, so this certainly may get us the old Nicki back.
I'm team Cardi all day, but I couldn't see Bey doing a track with her!
What are your thoughts? Are you here for the collaboration?https://www.instagram.com/p/BamqKqlFELw/

-Food. I loooove to cook. I looooove to eat. I can justify any food purchase of any price.
-Toys for my kids. Its so easy to get caught up in wanting to give them everything. I usually can refrain but I certainly have overspent my fair share on Barbies, princesses, Thomas and Elmo.
-Vitamins/Natural stuff. I have a phobia of sickness-particularly anything stomach. If there is some sort of vitamin or natural remedy that promises it will help prevent it, I am all over it.
So far avoiding food has been fairly easy. There were a few days that I needed a few ingredients or wanted to make something I didn't already have all the stuff for but I was mostly able to talk myself out of it. I spent an extra $6 on Wednesday (out of the $48 left) on Mayo, juice and avocados. But That was all still okay and part of what is allowed in spending.
I really wanted (want?) to buy Libby this set of Sesame Street books on Ebay. They are only $10 and it's such a great steal! But I'm refraining. Hopefully in 3 weeks I can find something similar. It's weird to be forced to wait to buy something. And it's equally minding opening to realized I don't actually *need* the things I'm passing up and I am still in one piece after not buying.
A few days ago I heard about this one essential oil that can help prevent illness. I want to buy it soooo bad. It's $50. I'm still trying to find a way to justify it but so far I haven't come up with any solution. So for now I look at it a few times a day and wish....
So far we at still good. John has still only bought the one tank of gas. I just filled up yesterday for $50. We have still spent under $50 on food in the past 10 days. I think we are doing amazing. Another 4 or 5 days and we'll really be able to see and feel the difference in our Discover bill (which as I mentioned before is where we put 90% of our spending every month.) I'm so glad we're doing this and even more pleased it's not as hard (yet) as I thought.

Kendrick Lamar's latest album, which debuted last week, now boasts a near-chart topping single, "HUMBLE."
The song blazed out of the gates at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, according to Billboard.
While the rap artist previously reached #1 thanks to his feature on Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood," "HUMBLE." is Lamar's highest-charting single as a lead artist.
The Mike WiLL Made-It-produced jam is also the highest debuting rap song since Eminem's anthem "Love the Way You Lie," which debuted at #2 in June 2010.

Lush videos
I've spent most of the week in London filming some new videos for ethical and sustainable cosmetics company Lush. These videos were focused on some of Lush's new makeup products. We filmed the videos over in West London at The Worx studio which is one of my favourite studios in London. As these videos were focused on make-up it was all about creating some very soft light which we created using Arri Sky Panels as book lights. Its always such a pleasure to work for a company like Lush who have a fantastic ethical stance.

Product Description
Dexter Russell SofGrip 8" x 3 1/4" Chinese Chef's Knife Red Handle 24533R SG5888R
Don't let the appearance of the Chinese Chef's Knife fool you. It looks large in size, but it is light in weight, versatile, and slim. To some people, this knife resembles an American meat cleaver, but its purpose is to chop vegetables, fruits and meats with its straight edge blade. There are many more uses for this highly versatile knife like scooping and transferring chopped vegetables from the cutting board into a pan. The sharp tip can peel soft skins, the flat part of the blade can smash garlic, and the spine can pound and tenderize meat. This knife is ideal for cutting soft vegetables and meats.
The SofGrip line is the ultimate choice in non-slip handles. Their soft rubber grip handles reduce stress that may cause fatigue and wrist injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome. Available in black and white, the soft handle allows you to grip tighter to prevent slipping and increase control. Each blade comes with a proprietary DEXSTEEL, stain-free, high-carbon steel blade, with an individually ground and honed edge. Their superior blade shape allows for easier slicing while the unique edge geometry keeps them long lasting. Not to mention, the seal between the blade and the handle will not let in any water or bacteria. NSF Certified. Made in USA.
- Superior blade shape for easier slicing
- Unique edge geometry for long lasting, easily restored performance
- Hand honed to ultimate edge
- Impervious seal of blade to handle for utmost sanitation and durability
- Protective finger guard (top of handle)
- Dexter's trademarked handle texture provides sure grip
- Ergonomic, slip-resistant
- Proprietary DEXSTEEL blades

I went to high school with a girl who later attended a prestigious university. Everybody was stoked, "What will she do next?"
We haven't spoken in years, but my understanding is she's teaching English in a foreign country. What a waste.
Often I wonder who got the rejection letter because the girl I know took their slot. What where their dreams?
Anybody can take a TEFL course for $250 and hop on a plane for an "experience of a lifetime." But that's not what our world needs. We're tired of the adventure-seekers, digital nomads, life-hackers. We need visionaries.
Of course, not everyone is (or wants to be) a visionary. It's a title reserved for a small group through nothing more than self-section. So while no one can declare you aren't a visionary, the statement rings true until you prove them wrong.
Two months ago I moved to San Francisco, the tech capital of the world. And it got me thinking…
I'm taking a slot.
It's disturbing how many talented engineers I meet — from Spain to New Zealand — who aspire to live here. They have the talent, the drive, and they embrace America's free-market culture. But their visas run out in 2 weeks.
For the next couple years, or however long I live in San Francisco, I'm going to do my best to make it count. I'm not here to make friends, go to brunch, or learn to surf. None of that matters.
To my euro-asia-latin-african peers, know that this California dude is trying to make a difference. That he isn't interested in rising rents, long walks on the Embarcadero, or weekend Tahoe escapades.
I'm here to make the world a better place through software.
Wish me luck.

Respected Partners,
We would like to invite you to come to our office on 27th March between 1pm to 6 pm for an Open House Farewell, since we are closing our office with effect from March 31st 2019.
As you know, Heinrich Böll Stiftung (hbs) is a German foundation and part of the Green movement that has developed worldwide as a response to the traditional politics of socialism, liberalism, and conservatism. The promotion of democracy is one of the core themes of hbs's work in Pakistan with a focus on ecological sustainability, human rights, self-determination and justice.
We at Heinrich Böll Stiftung (hbs) believe that civil society acts as a bridge between Governments and community through amplifying subjugated voices, advocating for equality based human centric decision making and inculcating responsiveness. It ensures the spirit of democracy and safeguards democratic spaces especially during the times of change. Lately with the transition in the world order, the democratic spaces are shrinking and liberal voices are being contained. The air of mistrust towards the civil society is reflected in the structural changes introduced in governance processes that are limiting the role of civil society. Heinrich Böll Stiftung (hbs) believes in cooperation and collaboration hence the prime modus operandi of hbs in the last 25 years in Pakistan has been engagement through dialogue, research and support to civil society and the government institutions.
However, for hbs to continue its work in Pakistan, it would require conducive environment and trust of the institutions. Currently, the Memorandum of understanding (MoU) presented by the Government of Pakistan for the international organisations curtails thematic areas of work. For example democracy; political engagement and strengthening of civil society are not among the listed ones. Furthermore, the MoU includes clauses, which would put our staff and our project partners at risk. Therefore, this MoU is not acceptable as a basis for future work of our office in Pakistan. The Board and the membership assembly of hbs, after having waited patiently for over 5 years of the registration process, with heavy heart decided to cease its operations in Pakistan with effect to 31st March 2019.
Hbs has spent 25 years in Pakistan and it has the honour of being the first country office of the foundation outside of Germany. It also has to its credit the honour of being the regional office for South Asia and South East Asia. We are sad that such profound relation is coming to an end at a time when emerging economy like Pakistan needs the support of thought leaders and civil society around the world.
Nevertheless with heavy heart we would like to thank and say good bye to our partners and Pakistani society hence we are organising a day long "Open House Farewell" on 27th March 2019, 1pm to 6pm. At the event we will be displaying and distributing our publications for the last time before we leave Pakistan.
Look forward to seeing you!
Team Heinrich Böll Stiftung (hbs)

How to install popper notifier in 16.04
Popper e-mail notifier worked fine in 14.04, and continued to work in 16.04 after I "automatically" upgraded to that version. However when I installed 16.04 on another machine that did not have Ubuntu, I could not install Popper.

Thank you. The strange thing is that Popper 0.31 works nicely on the 16.04 machine that was upgraded from a 14.04 OS. Yet after I installed 16.04 on another computer that had no previous Ubuntu on it, Popper will not install. I will check further.

Your concern and help are much appreciated. I tried a manual install
using gdebi, and also tried via sudo apt install..., but neither
worked. Apparently something needed cannot be installed in 16.04,
resulting in a broken dependency. I will use MailNag instead, even
though I much preferred Popper. Again, thanks.

Just about a year ago, Mark Bell made a few very bad choices on the outskirts of San Jose: He drank too much, drove too fast, rear-ended a pickup truck, and walked away from the scene.
Now Bell – traded to the Leafs where he hopes for a new beginning – finds that horrible night following him.
His first real introduction to Leaf fans is news that he will serve six months in jail after the 2007-08 season after pleading no contest to driving under the influence of alcohol, and a charge of hit-and-run. Bell hit another car so hard, he knocked it 15 metres up a steep hill and wrapped it around a telephone pole, leaving the uninsured driver with multiple head, back and leg injuries.
Witnesses said Bell reeked of alcohol. He blew .201 in a breathalyzer test about a half-hour after the accident, and a blood test revealed a blood-alcohol level of 0.15. The legal limit was 0.08.
He must also pay restitution – the medical bills, the cost of the car he totalled – to victim Jose Luis Villafana before he's formally sentenced. He'll be back in court Oct. 22 to prove he's made restitution before a sentencing date can be set.
"We're trying to hold people accountable, reimburse the victim, send a message to the defendant to have him pay his debt to society," Santa Clara deputy district attorney Cindy Seeley Hendrickson told the Star.
Bell could not be reached for an interview, but the Leafs last night issued statements from Bell and from general manager John Ferguson Jr.
"I am deeply sorry for the hurt that I have caused to others and for the way in which my actions reflected upon the San Jose Sharks, the Toronto Maple Leafs, and upon myself," Bell said. "I accept my punishment as handed down by the court.
"I look forward to fulfilling my obligations, and in moving on with my life in a positive manner."
Ferguson said the Leafs were well aware of Bell's legal problems when they acquired him, along with goalie Vesa Toskala, from San Jose in June.
"Mark has accepted responsibility for his actions, and the Leafs organization will support Mark through this challenging time," said Ferguson.
Seeley Hendrickson said having Bell serve his prison time in the off-season is not a case of offering favourable treatment to pro athletes. She said it's common for many convicted felons to serve their time at night and weekends so as not to lose their jobs.
"This is an accommodation, but it is one that would be afforded to any defendant." said Seeley Hendrickson, citing Bell's otherwise clean driving record. "He got exactly the same sentence anybody in the same situation would have."
Bell's problems won't end with his sentence, which could be commuted to four months for good behaviour. Bell also faces a lawsuit from Villafana, seeking "unlimited" damages.
"It's very early in the proceedings and we intend to pursue it all the way through," Villafana lawyer Samuel Samaniego told the Star yesterday. "We've sued in Superior Court for unlimited. Basically that means we're going to be going for everything."
According to the police report, Bell wasn't injured that night, but Villafana suffered multiple cuts to his head and face, swelling in his left foot, pain in both knees, chest pain while breathing and back pain all over. He missed work. He didn't have a driver's license nor did he have insurance.
"He's still experiencing pain," Samaniego said of Villafana. "He's experiencing some memory loss. He doesn't seem to retain attention, stay focused. He's having some problems with persistent pain in the ankle, he's easily distracted, can't remember things, finds himself in places and doesn't realize what's happening."
By all accounts, the accident scene was horrific. Bell's rented Camry hit Villafana's pickup truck at a stop sign a little after 1 a.m. on Sept. 4, 2006, in Milpitas, Calif., a town in the San Jose foothills.
"The defendant hit him so hard, maybe going 60 or 70 miles an hour, it shot the victim maybe 50 feet over to the right, wrapped him around a poll; the car was totalled," said Seeley Hendrickson. "The defendant's car would have gone 95 feet, 40 up a steep hill. The front end was totalled.
"It's just amazing nobody was killed."
The 26-year-old native of St. Paul, Ont., had 11 goals and 10 assists in 71 games last year with the Sharks.
Some of Bell's new teammates, working out yesterday at Lakeshore Lions Arena, seem ready to cut him a fair bit of slack.
"I'm sure he knows what he did wrong and has to deal with it. But our whole team will support him. He's a teammate. We want to make him feel welcome here," said centre Matt Stajan.

It appears as though a private developer meeting for the next-generation Microsoft console has been leaked by a developer from Crytek, who was attending the "Durango Developers Summit."
Sean Tracy, who works at Crytek, tweeted "Enjoying the Durango developers summit in London. So far, great swag and interesting talks." The tweet has since been removed by Tracy.
This could confirm the existence of the "Xbox 720" once and for all, but also what the codename for the project is at the moment. Microsoft have been known to use code names in the past for their products, for example, Kinect was originally dubbed Project Natal.
We can expect to hear more about this at E3, especially as more and more developers are now talking openly about developing for the next generation of home consoles. The most recent of which was Bethesda, who're working on an unannounced title.

The Japanese are amongst the healthiest people in the world. They have some of the lowest rates of cancer, obesity, and cardiovascular disease, and the highest average life expectancy in the world. Whatever the Japanese are doing to live such healthy lives seems to be working, so Craig's experiment was simple - eat and live like the Japanese for 12 weeks, and monitor his health in the process.
After a consultation with his dietician, Craig and
the film crew established 3 simple dieting rules:
1) No calorie-counting, skipping meals,
or additional excercise
2) Drink nothing but green tea and water
3) Eat all meals with chopsticks
The reasoning for these three rules was simple. To differentiate this experiment from other diets or fads, it was decided that there should be no dietary sacrifices such as foregoing meals or calorie-counting. Most diets also require a heavy exercise plan, so this experiment eliminated the need for countless hours at the gym. Craig wore a step counter during his two week research period in Japan, and the only additional exercise he would do for the remaining 10 weeks of his experiment would be to match his average daily Japanese step count.
Secondly, Craig's dietician pointed out the health benefits of green tea. The Japanese on average drink several cups of green tea each day, and it is readily available in most restaurants, diners and cafes. So swapping Craig's usual beverages of coffee and soda for green tea reflected a typical Japanese diet. An additional benefit of swapping coffee for green tea was the natural caffeine it contained, which suppressed Craig's coffee withdrawals.
And lastly, Craig's dietician suggested the use of chopsticks over forks for the duration of the diet. Her reasoning was this - there is around a 20 minute delay between food entering the stomach to the brain registering the stomach as being full of food. Eating his meals slowly with chopsticks prevented Craig from overeating, and kept his portion sizes small.
Most diets come with harsh sacrifices and strict eating and exercise plans. And in most cases, maintaining them is impractical. But what if there were a way to lose weight and live healthier without the strict regiment that comes with many of the diets we hear about today? What if there were a simple, effortless lifestyle change to better health?
The results of this dieting experiment were outstanding. Before the experiment, Craig weighed in at a hefty 138kg (304lb), and was at high risk of cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes. His liver enzyme levels, which measure the risk of heart attacks and strokes, were out of reference range, and his insulin levels were also off the charts.
After just 12 weeks on a traditional Japanese diet, with minimal exercise, Craig's weight reduced to 114kg (251lb). But the more impressive results were seen in his liver enzyme and insulin levels. These levels lowered back into reference range, and Craig is no longer at risk of cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes.
Images of some of the delicious dishes prepared for Craig's experiment are to the right. Please click the images for their descriptions.

Punjab closing all state-run transformer maintenance centres
India, Punjab: As Punjab Congress decides to shut down all government-owned transformer maintenance workshops in the state, official letters have been sent to these units giving them three months to wind up their operations.
Across Punjab state there are nine transformer maintenance centres operated by Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL), where nearly 25 % of faulty transformers are repaired and around 280 people employed, reports The Indian Express.
All other maintenance workshops have been run by private companies over the last two-three years.
The number of state-owned workshops has already been reduced from 13 to nine.
"We have suggested [to PSPCL] to keep at least 4-5 workshops with them rather than closing all of them and depend entirely on private bodies," said Sanjeev Sood, president of the Punjab State Electricity Board Engineers unit of transformers maintenance workshops.
According to The Indian Express, PSPCL'S Managing Director A. Venuprasad said the decision was made after a thorough study by the Commercial Director who himself is an engineer, but they will re-look into the proposal given by the Engineers Association.

Newly-elected national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has revealed how he will resolve the crisis rocking the party.
The former Edo State governor, who spoke immediately after he was sworn in at the Eagles Square, Abuja, promised to accommodate various views and work with different organs of the party to re-position it ahead of the 2019 general elections.
Oshiomhole said unlike the 16 years of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, which, according to him, emptied the national treasury, the APC-led government has remained faithful to Nigeria and Nigerians.
He said, "This evening (yesterday), there were winners and losers. But we have congratulated ourselves. We must all work for the good of the party.
"As president, Muhammadu Buhari is the only president who retired as a military head of state and was not a millionaire. The only thing he invested was your integrity.
"Unlike the last government which emptied our national treasury, under your watch, that had not happened.
He also recalled how the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, gave the APC victory in 2015.
He continued, "Saraki and Tambuwal-led other members of PDP to join our party. That move was what gave us victory in 2015. We are not forgetful of that.
"I am aware that there are challenges here and there. The new leaders elected will be able to surmount those challenges. We will find a way to look for a way to resolve these issues. In states where there are crises, we will find a win-win solution.
"I am used to solving challenges. We will organise summits where we will discuss on the way forward. We have the grace and the will to fix our problems. APC will not only be a platform to elect people. We will make it like the ANC (African National Congress in South Africa.)
"We are ready to accommodate all the complaints of every member of the party. We can only pay back by ensuring that we rebuild our party as we march towards the 2019 general elections."
He said he would resume work on Monday and swing into action to ensure that everything is in place.

Everybody has an opinion about the kind of gear that suits them best. Has the debate over peoples' choice of computer gone too far?
I find it fascinating to compare the performance of PCs vs Macs (and Linux boxes for that matter), but when it's up to me, I usually prefer to use Macs. Here on RedShark, whenever we write about Macs we get a lot of comments, and the ratio of thoughtful, polite comments to blatant trolling is very good.
Not so in other forums on the Internet.
But even so, we do get occasional "you Mac users are idiots" or merely "Apple Fanboy" in the remarks following our articles.
Not so many that I feel I have to constantly defend myself and my choice of computing platform, but it has occurred to me that sometimes I think we Mac users come in for some unjustified criticism.
The point is that I'm not really a power user. I'm a writer. When I make a video, it's normally not time-critical. I don't make videos for a living. I write for a living. But I do know lots of Mac users that do make videos for a living.
Vertical integration
I can argue about technical points as long as you like, but ultimately I buy Macs because I like them. I like the design, the slimness and the vertical integration: perhaps the biggest plus that Apple has over its computers is that the hardware and software come from the same company. This has numerous advantages over a typical Windows system, where the software designers have probably never seen the combination of components in your laptop.
I have rarely found PC laptops that feel as good as a MacBook. I have never found a Windows laptop trackpad that feels as good as an Apple one.
Mostly, my Macs are fast enough. I have a MacBook 12" from a couple of years ago. It's easily fast enough for anything I do that doesn't involve a lot of real-time processing, although it's perfectly capable of running a few music apps or Photoshop. I take this everywhere with me. It's incredibly light and slim. It's hard to imagine a better computer for my personal use.
I have a MacBook Pro 15" from 2013. It doesn't seem to be any slower than when I first got it. It's clearly not as fast as my colleague's new MacBook Pro with a Touchbar, but I suspect it's not too far behind.
And I have an 11" MacBook Air from 2011. With a new battery recently fitted, this is still a very capable machine. I currently use it to run DAWs and other music software. It's not monstrously powerful but for a six-year-old computer, I have no complaints.
Finally - and this may surprise you - I have a desktop Windows PC that I now do my main work on. I'm not exactly sure what's inside it, except that I asked for a "modern PC that's as fast as you can get for reasonable money". And it is indeed fast, quiet and I believe it wasn't particularly expensive. I use this with a 43" Phillips 4K computer monitor and find it absolutely phenomenally useful and productive.
I do have problems every day switching between my Mac and my PC. Simple things like keyboard shortcuts really slow me down. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to cut-and-paste on my PC and found that I've used the wrong keys.
I like the design and feel of Macs. They work for me. I don't feel any need to defend this, any more than someone who likes Audis has to defend his or her decision not to buy a Ford.
And this is the crux of it, I suppose. I know that Fords these days are very good cars: I've owned a few recently. And I know there are some good Windows laptops out there – very good indeed in some cases. But I reserve the right to just "like" Macs. And I don't think knowing what you like makes you an "idiot".

JAKARTA (REUTERS) - Indonesia's high annual inflation rate cooled in September and should drop more by year-end, but it likely will be 2016 before the central bank can cut interest rates to help an economy growing at its slowest pace in six years.
The statistics bureau on Thursday (Oct 1) said September's annual inflation rate was 6.83 per cent, the lowest since April. It was 7.18 per cent in August.
On a monthly basis, the consumer price index declined 0.05 per cent in September, the first drop since February, thanks to lower food prices.
Inflation, higher in Indonesia than elsewhere in Asia, spiked to 8.36 per cent in December, a month after President Joko Widodo raised then-subsidised fuel prices by more than 30 per cent.
The high level has been a factor blocking Bank Indonesia (BI) from lowering its benchmark interest rate, at 7.50 per cent since February.
Businesses want a lower rate to aid economic growth. In the second quarter, the annual pace was 4.67 per cent, the worst since 2009.
But even if the inflation pace drops sharply because of the high year-before base, economists see no room to cut interest rates, due to continuing weakness of the rupiah.
"I seriously doubt the BI has space to cut rates at this juncture," said Vaninder Singh, Southeast Asia economist at RBS in Singapore said. "Stability of the rupiah is their primary concern."
Arga Samudro, Ciptadana Securities economist in Jakarta, said inflation might be less than 4 per cent by year-end but it's difficult to see BI following the steps of India, which on Monday took advantage of low inflation to cut its policy rate 50 basis points.
"The condition here and in India is very different," he said.
On Wednesday, BI deputy governor Perry Warjiyo said "If we look at this year's inflation expectation of 4.3 per cent and the need to promote economic growth, there is a justification for a rate-cut."
"The problem is there are global pressures on the rupiah exchange rate and BI takes that into consideration when we decide on our policy rate," he added.
BI on Wednesday unveiled a set of measures intended to defend the rupiah, trading at 17-year lows.
Ahead of Thursday's inflation data, ING said the rupiah depreciation of more than 15 per cent this year is "making inflation sticky downward". It said it might revise up its current forecast for a benchmark interest rate of 7.25 per cent at year-end.
BI's next policy meeting is on Oct 15.

Friday many of my students were at the convention. some of my students and I had a serious discussion about Ms Chastain's over-the-top plea for diversity in film. To the best of my ability the following is a thumbnail account of her speech.
"Who is she?"
"Who cares to see her?"
"If she really FEELS that way, maybe she should refuse to be in her next movie. (me?) I mean, let a person of color take her place."
"Yea, she sounds like a fake"
Have you ever seen her in a movie? Would you go to a movie to see her? (me)
Because she does not look like you? (me)
"No. She looks like she has a stick…"
(me: stop)
So, what did she accomplish? (me)
"Nothing. She just was trying to be great or something. Tell her to stop being in movies if she is so worried."
The times might be a-changing but teens are not a-changing. Teens vote with mom and dad's wallet. Teens want good entertainment and nothing less. Teens are not interested in anyone's agenda but their own.
So, to sum up: 1- teens like good films (unless it is a really hot guy/girl in said film. In which case all bets are off)
2- teens don't go see a film due to diversity (they really don't care. And these are teens of all types in this room)
3-teens think if you really meant this you would stop acting and let persons of color take your place
4-Even if you did allow a person of color to take your place, they still will probably not go (you look too serious)
5-teens would not go see a film based on race (unless it is a Tyler Perry joint or has a Wayans brother in it)
The topic was deemed silly and we moved on to H. P. Lovecraft. He was deemed to be way scarier than Chastain.

7:21PM, Kent (Tacoma)
Void and Killroy arrived at the Monkey Burger! location in the Tacoma part of Kent to find the increased number of security goons were here and deployed differently. Instead of being all up at the front, the second golf cart was deployed so it could see the side door directly. This meant Void and Killroy could not approach the door unobserved. Needing a new way to enter the building, they contacted Sin and asked him to send one of the Fly-Spies with them to check out the roof. Sin was a bit busy (his drones had just been in a fire fight and he was attempting to leave the vicinity undetected), but after a moment the Fly-Spy on Killroy's shoulder activated and flew over the building. The video showed the roof was flat with A/C and ventilation machinery on top, but also a skylight over the food-prep area.
Void and Killroy stealthed up to the back of the building (where they were least likely to be seen) and quickly got onto the roof. [Void simply ran up the side of the wall and then assisted Killroy up.] Staying in a crouch to avoid being seen, they moved to the front of the building where the skylight was located. The skylight was translucent, but Killroy's cybereyes had thermographic capabilities, so he was able to easily locate the hot cooking range below them. A short burst from Vera and the range was no longer operational.
Void and Killroy moved to the back of the building to leave. Void jumped down to the ground and started to move away, only to discover that the first golf cart had moved to cover the back of the building. The lone security goon had spotted Void and started to call it in. Sadly for him, he missed seeing Killroy, who fired two quick shots from his pistol, "Steve", knocking the guard out with Stick-n-Shock ammunition. While the other goons were busy calling over the radio for the first goon to report his location, Void and Killroy quickly left the area.
Elapsed Time: 7 minutes
Time to next location: 26 minutes
7:31PM, Greenwood
The Fin and Murdoc arrived in the Greenwood neighborhood and parked across the street from the Monkey Burger! so they could contact Prometheus. In addition to more security goons at this location, a Knight Errant patrol car was parked in front of the restaurant. Prometheus was nowhere to be seen. The Fin called him and he responded he was now available as his previous client had just left the area, all he needed was a target. The Fin identified the target as one of the cooking ranges inside the building, about three meters to the left of the side door. Prometheus said he needed to move to make the shot and would call back shortly.
After a minute or so, two small explosions seemed to happen inside the restaurant as Prometheus fired twice into the cooking range with his Remington 950 loaded with APDS ammunition. The Fin's phone then rang. It was Prometheus asking if The Fin needed anything else. She sent him the last two addresses on her list, explaining that Murdoc was drained and needed to rest for an hour before being able to cast again. Prometheus asked if the targets were the same and The Fin confirmed they were. Prometheus then agreed to take care of them. The Fin then took Murdoc to a nearby park (at his request) to allow him to recover from the drain he was suffering.
Elapsed Time: 8 minutes
Time to next location: 14 minutes
7:35PM, SEA-TAC Airport
Sin arrived at the Private Pilot's entrance to SEA-TAC, where his passengers and their cargo disembarked. They exchanged contact information with Sin and agreed to deposit his share of the money when they delivered the cargo and got paid.
Elapsed Time: 2 minutes
Time to next location: 8 minutes
7:45PM, SEA-TAC Neighborhood
Sin and Bookie arrived at the SEA-TAC area Monkey Burger!, where they found a full-on SWAT van parked in front and SWAT officers in evidence in addition to the extra security goons. After looking over the scene, Sin backed his vehicle into a parking spot facing side of the Monkey Burger! opposite the side entrance. Sin then asked Bookie if he thought he could hack the controls of a Knight Errant SWAT van. Bookie said he was willing to find out.
[Start cinematic description mode]
The camera is focused on the Knight Errant symbol on the driver's door of the SWAT van. The camera pans up slightly and then focuses in on the door's locking mechanism. With a sudden "thunk", the locks all engage at once. A muffled voice from inside the SWAT van can just be heard to say "Did you hear something?" The camera view shifts to the dashboard controls inside the van which suddenly light up. The engine start sequence displays and the engine comes to life.
Then the sirens start blaring and all of the lights on the van start flashing.
CUT TO the back of Sin's panel van. The rear doors slowly open, exposing Susan machinegun barrel.
CUT TO looking from inside of the van, over Susan's barrel as it adjusts its aim on the Monkey Burger! On the right side of the shot the SWAT van can be seen peeling out in reverse, lights and sirens blaring.
CUT TO one of the security golf carts, facing towards the front of the restaurant. The two security goons are looking at the SWAT van as it rapidly backs up. Their expressions of confusion turn to horror as the van turns, aiming right at them and accelerating!
CUT BACK TO the shot over Susan's barrel. Police and security goons are just starting to chase after the SWAT van when Susan's machine gun fires! Everyone in view dives for cover as the machine gun rapidly chews a hole in the side of the restaurant.
CUT TO interior of the Monkey Burger! as the fryer units explode into sparks and parts, a short fountain of cooking oil shoots up from both fryers and then splatters on the destroyed machinery.
CUT BACK TO exterior shot of the back of Sin's van. Susan slowly withdraws and the doors silently swing shut.
CUT TO shot from above Sin's van, looking back towards the restaurant. The van exits the bottom of the scene while in the background chaos erupts at the Monkey Burger!. There are the sounds of gunfire, screams, and the SWAT van can just be seen pursuing a golf cart full of security goons who are shooting at the SWAT van.
[End cinematic description mode]
Elapsed Time: 4 minutes
Team 3 done for the evening.
7:54PM, Fircrest
Void and Killroy arrived at the Fircrest Monkey Burger! to find not only the additional security goons, but four Knight Errant police cruisers spaced evenly around the restaurant. Officers in body armor are standing at the drive through entries, checking vehicles. There are several news drones circling the restaurant and small crowds stand across the two adjacent streets, waiting for something to happen. [This location is on a corner, inside the parking lot of a retail strip center.]
Killroy decided to go a little Rube Goldberg due to the situation. He had Void drive their car into the alley behind the strip center. There he climbed up onto the roof and set one of his smart-linked machine pistols on the front ledge of the roof, pointing at an adjacent restaurant, minus its silencer.
He and Void then drove across the street to the side of the Monkey Burger! and parked in the gas station there with a clear view of the side wall of the Monkey Burger!, right were the cooking range was on the inside. Killroy them loaded Vera with APDS ammunition, but kept Vera low so the crowd standing around would not see it. He then triggered the machine pistol through the smart-link.
The sound of the machine pistol firing drew the attention and fire from all of the police officers and the security goons. The combined fire quickly turned the front of the greeting card store into an excellent approximation of Swiss cheese. The watching crowd cried out in excitement and immediately started taking pictures and video with their commlinks.
With everyone else in the area now looking at the greeting card store [or rather, the remains thereof], Killroy eased Vera out the car window and fired a silenced long burst at the Monkey Burger! wall, right where the cooking range was. Seeing the shots blow through, Void quickly pulled out of the gas station parking just as nearby potential witnesses were realizing where the real action was.
Elapsed Time: 8 minutes
Team 1 done for the evening.
7:58PM, a park in Downtown
The Fin received a call from Prometheus. Prometheus asked if he was allowed to shoot through someone to do the job. Before answering, The Fin asked why. The restaurant was in the University District of Downtown and the local fraternities, having heard of the Monkey Burger! attacks on the news had decided to protect their favorite eating location with a wall of fraternity brothers. The location had nearly 200 people in fraternity shirts from most of the fraternities on the local campuses and according to Prometheus, "They keep standing in my way." The Fin explained, in small words, that Prometheus was not allowed to shoot through anyone to complete the job and that doing so would negate the pay for the job. Prometheus acknowledged her instructions before hanging up.
[Prometheus had to move to a different location to make the shot, but did so. This happened "off camera" as Prometheus was an NPC at this point, so no details.]
Elapsed Time: 10 minutes
Time to next location: 4 minutes
8:12PM, a park in Downtown
The Fin received another call from Prometheus while re was waiting for Murdoc to recover. Prometheus reported there was an issue with the final location – it was on fire. So were two golf carts. Plus there was a mob of students yelling and chanting things like "Long live the Revolution!" and "Down with corporate excess!". As a result, Prometheus was not certain what to do.
After thinking on it a moment, The Fin ordered Prometheus to leave it alone – the job was done for the night.
Elapsed Time: 2 minutes
Team 2 done for the evening.
End of Session

I've said this before about Chicago rapper Joey Purp and I'll say it again: You could put all of his Savemoney colleagues in a room, make them freestyle and it's Purp who's going to have the most impressive verse. Since the 22-year-old artist named Joseph Davis came onto the scene with his debut 2012 project, "The Purple Tape," every guest verse and every rhyme (check his Dally Auston collab "Do Ya Thang" and his mixtape-stealing turn on "Surf" highlight "Go") has shown he's arguably the most technically proficient rapper of the bunch. Yes, better than Chance the Rapper and better than Vic Mensa.
But as Purp will tell you, being just a great technical rapper isn't the same thing as being a fully realized artist. While his previous projects, including his fun and loose collaboration with rapper Kami as Leather Corduroys in "Season," were some of their respective years' best, they were exciting for their promise rather than for being an all-encompassing artist statement. "iiiDrops," Purp's long-teased and just-released mixtape, is that promise realized. It's the project that shows why Purp should never have been counted out as his friends, such as Chance, Vic and Towkio, shot up in fame. It's a project so good it practically guarantees he never will be counted out.
"iiiDrops" opens with "Morning Sex," boasting horn-laden production from OddCouple that evokes "The College Dropout"-era Kanye West. There, the vintage 'Ye feel doesn't let up as Purp adds supremely resonant emotional nuance to wrenching lines like "look in the mirror and see myself in my mama's eyes/If you knew what I've seen you'll be traumatized." He's "been on both sides of the burner," a lifelong resident of many Chicago neighborhoods. He's seen trauma, death and joy.
Like Chance dealt with his city's violence on "Paranoia," so too does Joey with the same tact. On mixtape highlight "Cornerstore," the city's most resonant protest song so far this year, he raps: "Chiraq look like the Middle East/And white kids deal with problems that we never knew to bother/Arguing with they dads, we pray we ever knew our fathers'." He juxtaposes that with the childhood nostalgia of getting Chicago food-delicacy "flamin' hots and cheese from out the cornerstore" and finding a gun when he was just looking for his remote control car charger. It's innocence lost, a tragically relatable sentiment for so many young African-American children in this city. In 4 minutes and with Saba's gut-punch of a verse, it's more important than all of Spike Lee's "Chi-Raq."
On the other side of the spectrum, Purp also produces two of the hottest party bangers of 2016. There's "Photobooth," which hot damn has the best beat of 2016 from "Smoke Break" producer Garren, whose bass-heavy elephant horn-screech goes so incredibly hard. There's also "Girls @," which has a Neptunes-indebted kick drum intro and an insanely fun series of verse-trading by Purp and Chance. With Chance's verse, he accomplishes something I never thought to hear by rhyming "Ta-Nehisi Coates" with "Spottie-Ottie-Dope." It's brilliant. Along with that verse, all the guests complement rather than distract from the overall project. Mick Jenkins finds an intriguing upper-register, a departure from his ice-cold flow, on "Money and Bitches," and Vic Mensa's turn on highlight "Winners Circle" makes me insanely excited for whenever he drops "Traffic."
Purp's always been a no-nonsense kind of artist. When he impressed with his debut, he later said he wasn't that serious about music when he made it. While that might have seemed shocking at the time, he's been improving with every single thing he's released since then. Even though he first teased "iiiDrops" in 2013, after listening to this project, it's clear the wait was worth it. For both us and Purp.

This Weeks 'Shop of the Week' is CereusArt owned by Dana.
What a wonderful shop full of gorgeous beach and coastal goodies. The items are beautiful and the photography sets them off a treat too. Living at the coast myself (although in UK) I find myself drawn to the lovely shells, starfish and all the amazing things that have been created with them.
Dana's Etsy shop can be found here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/CereusArt
Now as I was curating a Treasury and needed a theme, I chose Stars, as my eyes were so drawn to the starfish in this shop. I had a lovely browse through the Etsy shops to find lots of other 'star' items to accompany the starfish.
Hope you enjoy browsing through them all too!! (Clicking' the pics should take you to each one)

Seward, Alaska (AP) - Authorities say a small plane carrying three people from Anchorage to Seward crashed and burned and rescuers are attempting to get to the site.
The conditions of those on board weren't immediately known.
A Federal Aviation Administration spokesman says the twin-engine Piper PA-31 was supposed to land in Seward on Friday but was reported as overdue.
The Anchorage Daily News reports that Alaska State Troopers spokesman Ken Marsh received reports of the crash Friday outside Cooper Landing, which is about 30 miles from Seward.
Rescuers say they located the crash by air, but the weather prevented them from landing.
Marsh says troopers and volunteers have started toward the crash site Saturday.

I love those late spring evenings that follow one of those unseasonably hot days in late May. It is like summer is sending us a "Save the Date" card; a little glimpse of what's to come. It was on one of these perfect late spring evenings that we tried out Wakefield's newest addition to the culinary scene – Tavern on Main.
Since it's opening in mid – April, Tavern on Main has been receiving rave reviews. So we just had to see for ourselves! After a long day cooped up in the office as the sunshine and warm breeze teased us all day long, we opted to dine outside right on Main Street. The host, giving us a pleasant smile and a warm welcome, brought us outside and let us choose our seat. Sometimes people underestimate how important a host/hostess can be. It is the patron's first impression of a restaurant, which will set the tone for the rest of their experience. Tavern on Main made a wise decision in their choice of host that evening.
We were greeted by two servers, David and (if memory serves me correctly) Kaylee. They welcomed us with a small dish of pickled vegetables in lieu of a bread basket, a smart and modern variation in this day of food allergies and dietary intolerances. Kaylee suggested we try one of the Tavern's signature drinks, the Watermelon Mojito. We recommend that you try one too. So light and refreshing; it was the perfect compliment to the warm evening. We were also offered a choice of tap water, spring water, or sparkling water. This was a really nice touch! I opted for the bottle of sparkling water, which I later brought home and continued to enjoy the following day.
We decided to split a few different appetizers in order to get a variety of dishes. The menu had such a diverse and interesting selection that it was difficult to narrow it down to a three items. David was very patient with us and was happy to offer feedback. We finally decided on the Lobster Roll Lettuce Wraps, the Charcuterie Board with cheese, and a Caesar Salad.
The Lobster Roll Lettuce Wraps were instantly my favorite! A savory mix of avocado, roasted corn and lobster meat paired with a lemon basil aioli bedded nicely in individual Bibb lettuce cups. The House Made Charcuterie Board mixed spicy Andouille, savory Italian, and flavorful Bratwurst sausages with a variety of soft, semi-soft, and hard cheeses. Complimenting these flavors were pickled vegetables, pickled onions, a sweet fig jam, whole grain mustard, toasted bread and flatbread crackers. We had a field day comparing and contrasting the variety of flavors and flavor combinations we could make. Even the Caesar Salad blew us away! While they would not divulge their recipe secrets for the dressing, David explained to us that it was red peppers that gave it a pinkish hue and a very subtle sweetness. What really sold it were the avocado croutons!
As we "ooh-ed" and "ahh-ed" over our meals, various members of the staff would stop over to check in with us. Everyone was very friendly and very professional without being overbearing. The grand finale of our evening was the Flourless Chocolate Cake served with a raspberry sauce and homemade vanilla ice cream. We enjoyed this with a couple of glasses of Moulinier Cotes du Rhone. Let me just put it this way – if I had the ability to purr, I would have.
As full-time bloggers, we make a point to always try a different and new restaurant as often as we can. Thankfully, we made an executive decision that Tavern on Main will have to become a regular place we will visit again and again.

Alberta Bans Tobacco Sales In Pharmacies
Beginning Jan. 1, 2009, the sale of all tobacco products in pharmacies, stores that contain pharmacies, health-care facilities and public post-secondary institutions will be prohibited.
This is the final step in implementing Alberta's Tobacco Reduction Act . On Jan. 1, smoking was banned in all Alberta workplaces and public places. Smoking within five metres of a doorway, window or air intake of a public place or workplace is also prohibited. As of July 1, the retail display and advertising of tobacco products was banned in Alberta.
"The Tobacco Reduction Act is one of the key elements of our strategy to reduce tobacco use and the harmful effects of second-hand smoke," said Dr. Raj Sherman, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Health and Wellness. "The majority of Albertans support legislation to restrict tobacco sales and reduce tobacco consumption, especially among young people."
"Our commitment is to creating a healthier province with a sustainable health-care system," said Dr. Sherman. "As such we must take aggressive action to promote health and reduce the harm associated with tobacco use."
Under this act, tobacco products include cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, pipe tobacco, specialty tobacco products like chewing tobacco, snus and snuff.
The Tobacco Reduction Act supports the government's commitment to improve the wellness of Albertans. The legislation is an important component of the Alberta Tobacco Reduction Strategy, which aims to reduce disease, disability and death related to tobacco use by:
* reducing the number of young people starting to use tobacco;
* encouraging and helping tobacco users to quit; and
* reducing non-smokers' exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke.

Hepatitis C is a disease that not only affects the liver, but it may cause arthritis as well. Hepatitis C can be very serious. Some people have acute hepatitis C and others have chronic hepatitis C. Acute Hepatitis C affects about 30,000 Americans, but Chronic Hepatitis C affects nearly 4 million Americans. In most cases, people carry Hepatitis C and do not notice it. They do not have any symptoms. The first signs of Hepatitis C (HCV) may be arthritis. It is important to understand how Hepatitis C spreads as a way to protect yourself.
Hepatitis is an inflammatory disease. The inflammation happens in the liver, rather than the joints like Arthritis. Multiple things cause Hepatitis C. Infections, drug use, alcohol abuse, and toxins may all result in Hepatitis. There are two types of Hepatitis: Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C. The different types of Hepatitis are dependent upon the viruses that cause it. They range in severity and are transmitted in different ways. Hepatitis A is mild. It does not last very long; therefore, it is never chronic. Hepatitis A goes away on its own. Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C are more serious than Hepatitis A. Both infections can stay in the body and become chronic. Sometimes one type of Hepatitis leads to other types of Hepatitis as well. Hepatitis C is the worst of the three. Hepatitis C is contagious. It too is either acute or chronic. It attacks the liver and can cause liver damage leading to the need for a liver transplant. In acute cases, the illness occurs in the first six months. There are not usually any chronic conditions that follow. Chronic Hepatitis is lifelong and results in serious liver problems. Hepatitis is spread through sexual contact as well as needle use. You have to be careful about coming in contact with someone who has Hepatitis. You should not share razors and toothbrushes.
Causes of HCV-Associated Arthritis
Arthritis is inflammation of the joints. Many different things cause arthritis. It is not a disease that is always brought on by genetic factors. There are different types of arthritis as well. When you contract Hepatitis C, chronic forms can affect the muscles and joints. The Hepatitis disease triggers an immune response. When the infection enters the body, the body attempts to fight it off. While fighting off the disease, the body also fights against the joints leading to arthritis. The immune response is stronger in chronic conditions than it is in acute conditions. In acute cases, the infection lasts a short time, and that is it. When the disease is chronic, it continues to multiply in the liver. As it multiplies, the immune system continues to attack.
HCV Risk Factors
Several things put you at risk for HCV- Associated Arthritis. The biggest risk is Hepatitis C. There are other forms of Hepatitis, but when you come in contact with hepatitis C the risk of it being chronic is much higher. It does not matter your age, race, or sex. You can get Hepatitis C at any age. It affects both men and women, and it reaches all ethnicity. Hepatitis is spread sexually, but it is most often spread through drug use. When you are abusing drugs, the needles you use may be contaminated. Snorting devices may also spread Hepatitis. Sex is not the most common way HCV is spread, but you should be aware of the risks and protect yourself. If you have HCV and are pregnant or may desire to be pregnant, you must have a doctor to monitor you. It is rare for HCV to be transmitted to your child, but it can happen.
HCV- Associated Arthritis is sometimes difficult to diagnose. Arthritis is a disease in itself, and it can happen in many different ways. You can have symptoms of arthritis and not show any symptoms of HCV. The doctor has to have the experience to know when HCV is related to arthritis. The first step to reaching a diagnosis is a blood test. The doctor will see HCV antibodies in the blood serum. A second test is done to verify HCV in the blood. If a doctor does not pay attention to the arthritis symptoms and when the symptoms started, they may not do a blood test at all and misdiagnose you. Along with the blood tests, a doctor can see how fast the diseases is multiplying and spreading.
In previous years, interferons were the primary treatment of HCV. By treating the HCV, you simultaneously treat arthritis. The problem with interferons is that it caused other side effects that are not always good. A newer method of therapy is now interferon-free and bringing about a cure. The therapy does take much longer than interferon therapy, and there are side effects, but the success of having a cure makes it worth it. Once the HCV is under control, it makes it easier to treat arthritis. Anti-inflammatory drugs are good to use. What you do not want to do is use drugs that will make your liver problems worse. Anti-tumor necrosis factor drugs and rituximab are both drugs that do not have adverse effects on the liver.
HCV-Associated arthritis is an interesting disease because it is like two diseases in one. Treating HCV-Associated Arthritis is a bit more complicated. It is best to protect yourself from HCV and by doing so, you can protect yourself from arthritis.

Tell Your Representatives: It's Time to Fund THUD
Every year, members of Congress depart from DC to head back to their home states for the month of August. Despite a brief delay enforced by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), this year is no different.
Take Action
Join the groundswell of advocates taking a stand for planning during August recess. Use APA's prepared action alerts — available in the Legislative Action Center — to tell your representatives to #FundTHUD.
What is available in APA's Legislative Action Center?
New! Prepared Tweets
Tell your member of Congress to #FundTHUD by tweeting at them using one of our prepared tweets.
New! Send a Letter
Send a pre-drafted letter to your Congressional officials asking them to fund THUD.
New! Call Script
Call your member of Congress and use our call script to assist you during your call.
New! Scheduling Assistance
Sign up to schedule a meeting with your legislator's staff. Time is running out, and policymakers' schedules are filling up. Act now to get APA staff assistance in scheduling a meeting with your legislators!
The Budget Deadline Is Approaching
Once Congress returns to DC, it will have less than a month to finalize spending levels for fiscal year 2018. Both the Senate and the House of Representatives have presented their initial proposals for spending. The cuts proposed by the Trump administration in their original budget proposal were largely ignored in the Senate version of the THUD bill.
The THUD bill that advanced in the House, however, mirrors the Trump administration's original budget proposal by eliminating the TIGER program, cutting New Starts in half, slashing the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative, and reducing funding levels for critical planning programs like CDBG and HOME Investment Partnership programs.
Our budget analysis confirms that the Senate THUD bill is far better that the spending bill that has advanced in the House. While neither bill has made it to the floor, Congress must act on passing spending bills soon, so there is no better time than right now, while they are home, to tell your members of Congress to support the Senate THUD bill.
Follow @APAadvocates — APA's policy-focused Twitter handle — to learn what your fellow Advocacy Network members are doing in August to highlight the impact of federal dollars on local planning efforts.

The international law of data protection has changed and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect on the 25 May 2018. There is a great deal of information on GDPR. Unfortunately, a lot of it is legal jargon, which can be overwhelming if you are not a legal expert.
The South African equivalent to GDPR is the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA); which has not been finalised yet. This article will explain GDPR, compliance requirements and the key benefits and challenges involved in its implementation.
Quick overview
GDPR is a law that governs data usage, user privacy rights, data risk management and data security systems within private and public organisations. It highlights the rights of individuals, which are
- to control how personal data is collected and managed; and
- to place new obligations on organisations to be more accountable for data protection.
Complying with GDPR is not a simple task, and neither will be complying with South Africa's own Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). However, it is unavoidable and cannot be ignored. Managing data privacy is a serious issue. Until the South African Regulations are finalised and enforced, local companies are encouraged to look to the GDPR for guidance. Whilst there are some differences between POPIA and GDPR in requirements, the principles are similar.
How does an organisation comply?
- Raise awareness
Decision makers and key people in the organisation need to be aware that the law has changed to include GDPR, and need to understand its impact on data management.
- Information held
An information audit, which includes any personal data held by individuals within the organisation, has to be done. The audit will establish which information the organisation has, who it's shared with and where it came from.
- Communication privacy
Review your privacy notices and governance, identify gaps and prepare for the changes required when implementing GDPR.
- Individual rights
Make sure procedures cover each individual's rights, including deleting personal data and providing data electronically in all commonly used formats.
- Subject access requests
Update data management procedures, prepare for handling requests from consumers within the new time-frame and provide additional information.
- Legalities when processing personal data
Understand the different data processing types, the way the organisation performs and identify the legal basis for carrying out and documenting it appropriately.
- Consent
The way the organisation seeks, obtains and determines consent may need to be reviewed and changed.
- Protecting children's data
Systems to verify ages and can seek parental/guardian consent for a data processing activities should be designed and developed.
- Data breaches
Procedures for both the customer and regulator need to be in place to detect, report and investigate a personal data breach.
- Data protection by design
Assessments and control frameworks have to be developed with guidance from the regulator. Processes need to be developed and have governance for their use.
- Data Protection Officers
Data Protection Officers or a similar role should be appointed to take responsibility for data protection compliance. The organisation has to decide who fits this role best.
- International work
If the organisation works internationally, it is important to establish which data protection authority is most appropriate and where processors and controllers are located.
Some benefits of GDPR compliance
- Greater consumer confidence
GDPR compliance will prove to customers that your organisation is a good custodian of their data.
- Improved data security
GDPR compliance lays the groundwork for improved data security.
- Reduced data maintenance costs
GDPR can help your organisation cut costs by prompting you to retire any data inventory software and legacy applications which are no longer relevant to your business.
- Increased alignment with evolving technology
GDPR compliance requires that your organisation moves toward improving its network, endpoint, and application security.
- Better decision-making
Thanks to the GDPR, your organisation's data will become more consolidated, ensuring it's easier to use and you have a greater understanding of its underlying value.
Challenges of GDPR compliance
- Endless consent prompts for every data process can be time-consuming.
- High cost to reach GDPR compliance (e.g. in terms of upgrading security systems).
- More work for developers in terms of upgrading security systems.
- Massive fines for non-compliance, which amounts to 4% of the organisation's annual turnover.
GDPR integration in SU IT Department
In many ways, Stellenbosch University's Information Technology Department has been implementing data and security laws and regulations such as GDPR and POPIA for years.
We are constantly reminding users on our blog and social media to keep their passwords protected and not leave their PC's unlocked and unattended. We are the first to alert users via email with regards to phishing attacks and send out warnings on a regular basis. We have also moved toward cloud storage and are happy to say, Microsoft is GDPR compliant. Users have been encouraged to use OneDrive for data storage as it is more secure.
Information security is important, therefore we will continue to convey the importance to our users. There is also an Information Security Awareness Training Course available on SUNLearn.
In conclusion, GDPR is beneficial to South African organisations in many ways. Since South African organisations deal with large and sensitive amounts of data, GDPR compliance is required and may reduce security threats and data loss to a large degree. Although this law appears to solve and manage data management issues, there is still limited information regarding their long-term sustainability and among South African users.
More detailed information on EU GDPR guidelines for South African Universities can be found in this document compiled by Universities South Africa (USAf), an association of South Africa's public universities.
