In a survey of 200 IT security professionals at US$5 billion plus turnover companies in the USA, and 151 IT pros from £500 million plus turnover UK organisations, 71 percent of UK respondents considered their corporate board to be cyber-security literate compared to 57 percent of their US counterparts .
Only half of US IT pros said their company's corporate board had a member responsible for cybersecurity compared to 71 percent of the UK respondents.
Nearly a third (32 percent) of US respondents believed the information presented to the board did not accurately represent the urgency and intensity of the cyber-threats targeting their organisation compared to just 13 percent of UK IT pros saying the same thing.
"Cybersecurity is definitely a boardroom issue, and I'm encouraged that more organisations are engaging on this topic," said Dwayne Melancon, chief technology officer for Tripwire which announced the results today of the study conducted by Dimensional Research on the cyber-security literacy challenges faced by organisations. The study, carried out in May 2015, evaluated cyber-security risk decision-making and communication between IT security professionals, executive teams and boards.
Melacon adds: "However, engaging and doing so effectively are two different things."
Regarding major security events having the biggest impact on a board's cyber-security awareness, 34 percent of UK respondents said an internal security breach at their organisation, while 74 percent of US respondents said high-profile external breaches, such as Sony Pictures, Target and the Snowden leaks, had the most impact.
Melancon continued, "From my experience, I believe some of the respondents may be overly optimistic about the cyber-security literacy of their boards, which could be a challenge. Fortunately, a good number of organisations recognise that their current approach to depicting cyber-security status falls short of their goal of creating an appropriate sense of urgency within their executive ranks."

Balanced leadership: what 30 years of research tells us about the effect of leadership on student achievement
by Tim Waters, Robert J. Marzano, and Brian McNulty
This 2003 working paper provides a review and quantitative analysis of 30 years of research into the impact of leadership on schooling. It comes from the Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL) in the US.
The authors focus on reporting which leadership behaviours make a difference, positive or negative, to what happens in schools.
Balanced leadership framework
The review comes up with a framework for 'balanced leadership'. It suggests concrete responsibilities, practices, knowledge, strategies, tools, and resources that principals and other educational leaders can use.
There are four different kinds of knowledge that school leaders need: experiential knowledge (why), declarative knowledge (what), procedural knowledge (how), and contextual knowledge (when).
Leadership decisions are always problematic, but balanced decisions based on deep broad-based 'knowledges' increase the likelihood of effective educational leadership.
Effective leadership will:
- balance pushing for change with protecting the existing values and practices of the institution that work well
- know how to align the diverse happenings within a school
- recognise the magnitude of change and therefore monitor carefully how it is being implemented
- understand and value the people within the school community.
The framework identifies 21 key leadership responsibilities that if carried out effectively will impact positively on student achievement. These responsibilities are listed on page 4 of the article.
They include organisational, professional and personal attributes of leadership such as flexibility, respect for procedures, direct and hands-on involvement with curriculum design and implementation, and the development of positive relationships and good communication within the school community.
Leading change
While all school leaders need to initiate change in various ways, not all change is of the same order.
- First order changes are those which build on existing conditions, are focused and have support from experts.
- Second order changes break with the past, are more complex and may create huge disturbances.
In the latter case the advantages of the changes may not be obvious to everyone.
Different stakeholders perceive changes differently, and what some believe are first order changes can be experienced by others as second order.
It is very important that school leaders are able to recognise the different ways that change might impact on their communities, and therefore to select practices and strategies to implement change very carefully.
The paper goes on to examine each of the 21 identified key leadership responsibilities in depth, and to demonstrate the differences between first order and second order changes. This draws attention to the care needed not only in making decisions but also in the processes of implementing them.
Reflective questions
These reflective questions might guide you in your reading of this paper:
- Make a list of the most significant school changes you have made or plan to make within the recent past and future. Would you describe them as first or second order changes? By examining the changes you have already made can you see some warnings or guidelines for how you need to go about the changes you are planning for the future?
- Consider the changes you are planning for the future in the light of the four different kinds of knowledge mentioned in the article (experiential, declarative, procedural, and contextual). How will use of each of these knowledges improve your planning and decisions about actual strategies for implementing change?
- Identify specific ways in which your school leadership approach is positively affecting student outcomes (learning and social).

She grew up watching Disney channel as a kid, but it took her first trip at the age of 20 to the Magic Kingdom to truly fall in love with Disney. Since then she has taken many trips there staying at both on and offsite resorts and hotels; always dragging her husband, their three kids, and even the in-laws at times too. She enjoys helping find activities for everyone to stay happy, from having to plan trips with family going from 65 to 4 years old and trying new things each time, from tours to dessert parties, to even visiting the non-Disney Florida locations, such as Universal Studios and Islands of Adventures.

Mike Unland puts the D in Detail
If you are in the VW scene you problably already seen it.
When i first came across Mike Unland's picture of his 59 vert pan sittin on the ground
outside his garage with the Rotiform FUC's on it, i tought this is a project to follow.
But back then i didn't even know who the floorpan belonged to, Now i know and i have him
on my Facebook and i have fliped thru his build photos, and i got to say, the man got an great
eye for the details.
And now he has nailed it again with a set of DIY split wheels for his 1956 beetle.
Using a stock steel center and puting some big ass polished lips on them.
And it looks killer.
The 59 vert pan with the FUC's
If you haven't seen his future and the sweet photos on Stanceworks, you should go check it out HERE
And the wheels for his 56.
6 inch in the front and 8,5 in the back.
And the finished result.
Thanks for letting me use the pictures Mike.
Keep it Classy.

The End, The End, The End
Clawing and screaming for your attention, this performance demands to be heard.
Before this show even properly began I was pulled out of line by one of the actresses, and she told me my name was now Tori. She then told me a story in which Tori dreams of bleaching her skin, of becoming a pretty white girl, with blonde hair and blue eyes. I was then left alone to awkwardly walk back to the line and into the auditorium. I felt like crying.
This performance piece falls more in line with the idea of performance art, rather than a traditional 'play'. There is a plot, and a message, but it explodes far beyond the boundaries of what we would expect, so to review it as a 'play' would be doing a tremendous disservice. It is more than just an allegorical musing, it is a display of raw and terrifying emotion. A diverse cast from the United States jump, yell, sing, fight on stage, eyes popping and throats choked up with pain, demanding to be listened to, and constantly shut down by the tech department themselves. In the opening they are forced to announce their names, where they are from, and throughout they attempt to explain why they left, what they are trying to find. It seems like their struggles were in vain; they are surrounded by distorted sounds that drown them out, a violent onslaught of mixed media that attempts to distract us from the real issues these people are trying to discuss, they are plunged into darkness when they try to reach out for help. This performance is about asking you to listen, to help, as it is starved and tortured. We are not involved in their plight, we can leave, get aid. The forced passivity of being an audience member is harrowing.
While a lot to keep up with, the performance does a tremendous job of expressing the conflict within these people, both internal and external, and it is hard not to flinch away as the reality they are stuck in is distorted into strange, disturbing soundscapes and images. One of the final ones is a woman gagged and dragged away, thrashing, as she desperately grabs our attention to talk about equal rights, face obscured by those, now ominous, stars and stripes. This show looks like chaos, it sounds like a cry for help, it screams for America to explain itself, to explain why it left these people behind to doubt their own worth, their own place.
Without a doubt it will be considered 'polarising' for some reason; either the performance is too loud, too strange. I disagree: in a way this is subverted in the performance itself. They are loud, they are bizarre, they know no other way, they perceive this world like a trap, a confusing prison, and because we refuse to understand, on the basis that it is a perspective we do not initially grasp, or refuse to understand simply because they speak a different language, contributes to the harmful denial of progress.
'The End, The End, The End' begs you to listen, seems to know on some level that you will not, yet forces itself to be heard and make an impact. I left feeling upset and with a lingering sense of doom. If this is how Americans perceive their country, as something fake and abhorrent, we can no longer deny that something is extremely wrong.

Strengthening the Professional Network
The International Committee for the Conservation of Mosaics (ICCM) is the leading professional organization dedicated to the conservation of archaeological mosaics. ICCM has brought the conservation of mosaics to the attention of a wider audience of art historians, archaeologists, conservators, and other scholars. It also has contributed significantly to the quality and quantity of literature produced on mosaic conservation. In addition to its publications, ICCM serves as the principal forum for the exchange of information regarding mosaics conservation through its network of professionals and an expanding website.
MOSAIKON has worked to strengthen ICCM through grants from the Getty Foundation. This funding has enabled ICCM to update its membership database and create an improved website (iccm-mosaics.org) and newsletter, both of which are produced in French, Arabic, and English.
In addition, ICCM received grants from the Getty Foundation to allow mosaics conservation professionals, mainly from North Africa and the Middle East, to attend the organization's triennial conferences. The 2014 ICCM conference includes a specialized workshop for alumni of MOSAIKON site management training programs, which will reinforce skills and further build the network. The ICCM grants also included ongoing support for the MOSAIKON regional coordinator.

Segmentation Trends and Marketing Efficiency
The trend toward big data — capturing and using every piece of information about every customer transaction — is leading to increased opportunities to segment customers and increase marketing efficiency. Segmentation trends are evolving rapidly as companies try to figure out how to best use the plethora of customer data now available.
New segmentation trends tend toward more granularity, but this is not always optimal, according to Kevin Hillstrom's white paper "Ten Things You Should Know About Customer Segmentation." A company may want to use a higher level of segmentation to determine and communicate results to management while using a more specific level to implement marketing strategies. Reporting could require the division of data into only 15 or 20 segments while other business needs could call for focus on several hundred segments (provided there is technology to support such.)
Data needs to be segmented in a way that makes it actionable. Once the data has been segmented, what action will the company take to increase its profitability? Knowing that 40 percent of sales come from plaid widgets is not useful until you determine whether there are more customers for plaid widgets who you are not reaching, or if your plaid widget customers will also buy striped widgets.
Segmentation trends continue to evolve as the marketplace evolves. Segmenting customers based upon the social media platforms they prefer or knowing whether they purchase online or through a mobile device becomes a critical path for reaching those customers before they make purchase decisions. In his article "Four New Approaches to Customer Segmentation in a Digital and Social Age," Joel Rubinson of Rubinson Partners, Inc., suggests segmenting based on targetable interests and values, brand loyalty and purchase behaviors, among other ways.
Just as companies are collecting more and different data on their customers, the recent United States Census collected more data on people living in the U.S. than ever before. In addition to collecting information on age, gender and race, the new census collected information on family structure, housing situations and much more. This information is useful to e-commerce companies as well as brick-and-mortar organizations, and plays into the trend of greater segmentation.

A power outage is a common issue these days and is a common occurrence in big cities as well. Regional blackouts, power cuts, power loss, are some of the issues which are faced on a daily basis. In such cases, it can also take up a certain amount of time to resolve the issue and get it back to working in full capacity. Generators are the best bet in such cases as they provide instant backup. It is being utilised in almost every sector such as healthcare, hospitals, mining industry, commercial sectors, and residential purpose and for various events and occasions.
Types of generators for the industrial sector
The generators often vary from the range of 6 kVA to 1250 kVA. The classification of the generators is often on the basis of what component drives the machine. In this case,
- Diesel
- Gas
- Petrol welders
- Silent diesel welders
- Petrol
Out of these Diesel are more preferred in comparison to petrol due to its more benefits. There are wide ranges of diesel generators, and they vary on the basis of kVA. Now it is the time of online and one can easily purchase a various range of generators through online retailers. If the requirement is of 500 kVA then one can easily buy 500 kva generator online.
Diesel generators are often quite cheaper than their petrol counterpart and a great value for the money. As a result of that, there are several 500 kva generator distributors in delhi that offer the diesel generators at competitive pricing.
Where there is a need for a good power source?
Geographically, there are certain places which often tend to get affected by the bad weather, severe thunderstorms, climate differences in certain seasons and other external factors. In such places, there always is the issue of power loss and hence having a backup generator often comes in handy and proves to be beneficial. In the commercial sector too, a power outage at regular intervals can disrupt the whole flow of work, tasks and process. That is why nowadays almost all of the commercial offices have at least one backup generator. Construction site requires the need of backup generators at all the time. There is the requirement of a lot of heavy lifting to be done, machines at work constantly and if there is power loss, the work gets stuck in the middle. That is why there are multiple generators at the construction sites. Generators are a must to have in hospitals as certain patient may be in critical condition and be on support of the machines, and that is why the hospitals cannot afford to have power loss.
Since the inception of generators, the tasks have been made undoubtedly easier, and there are no more concerns about the power loss and outage. The factories, industrial works, healthcare sector, mining industry, commercial sectors and even most of the residencies in certain areas avail the regular use of generators. The best part about the generators is that they are available in various variants which suit all the requirements.

While we've been getting excited about the possibility of an Ellie Goulding/Niall Horan romance, and never losing faith that an Ed Sheeran/Taylor Swift marriage was on the cards, it seems like we might have been heading up the wrong path somewhat.
Ellie and Ed have been close for some time now, but it looks like things might have hit the next level for the Burn and Lego House singers, as they were spotted looking a little too cosy to be 'just good friends', whilst watching the MTV Video Music Awards last night.
The pair sat hand in hand for a good portion of the evening, and whilst this could be brushed off as innocent friendship, Ed was even spotted with his hand resting on Ellie's thigh at one stage. Are we the only ones who'd be a little freaked out if our male 'friend' started getting so touchy feely?
Once the pair realised they were being watched by the audience camera, they shared a quick playful hug to cover up the fact they'd seemingly been caught in the act.
Ellie hit back at the romance rumours this afternoon, taking to Twitter to defend their friendship.
With both Ellie and Ed being private people when it comes to their love lives, we're not sure what to make of this. What do you think? Leave us a comment, or tweet us @CosmopolitanUK.

According to a celebrity hair stylist having hair that's TOO clean could be damaging it
- Publish Date
- Wednesday, 24 January 2018, 12:00PM
Washing your hair is considered a basic tenet of personal hygiene - but have you ever considered that it could be doing more damage than good?
A leading celebrity stylist has warned that women risk ruining their tresses by "excessive shampooing" - leading to lacklustre hair and breakage, the Daily Mail reports.
Neil Moodie, who has tended to the locks of stars including Demi Moore and Scarlett Johansson, explained: "Our hair is a living fibre and dry to begin with.
"If we starve the hair from moisture from excessive shampooing, the hair dries out again and the cycle continues resulting in weak damaged hair. Therefore you need to shampoo less to keep your natural oils where they need to be.
"There isn't an exact number of times you should wash your hair – it depends on your hair texture and your natural oil production, but there are ways to tell if you're over-washing it."
Neil, who is also an ambassador for Viviscal, added: "A lack of moisture from stripping oils can also cause a dry, flaky scalp and as your scalp dries out so does your hair.
"Hair becomes flatter and also begins to lack shine. If you need a bit of a boost between washes try a dry shampoo to trap excess oil and add a bit of body without drying your hair out.
"When you do wash your hair, use a conditioner that not only conditions but adds moisture to help keep hair supple."
If you're experiencing a lot of breakages, this could also be a sign that you're washing your hair too often, according to Neil.
"Wet hair is extra susceptible to damage and breakage, so the more you wash it, the more opportunity it has to break," he said.
"Never quickly rip a brush through wet hair and avoid going to bed with wet hair. I always recommend a silk pillow as it causes less friction."
But, warns Neil, it's vital to make sure you're conditioning your tresses regularly.
He explains: "If you're washing your hair less, conditioning your hair properly is vital so that the moisture is retained.
"Just applying and rinsing it straight off is of no benefit [because] the hair has no time to draw the ingredients it needs.
"Use as a once-a-week treatment leaving it on for at 20 minutes, again allowing the ingredients to penetrate into the hair shaft properly."

Nashville, TN -- Rural Rhythm Records has announced the release of the second single, "I Think I'll Let You Drive," from the 12-track self-titled album Tammy Jones Robinette & The Drive, to radio today. The mid-tempo song penned by Steve Gulley features the superb and refreshing alto of Robinette, with Gulley and Grammy-nominee Dale Ann Bradley on backing vocals. It also features a heavy fiddle intro and outro by Aubrey Haynie, as well as the mandolin-stylings of Sam Bush and resonator work of Grammy-nominee Rob Ickes. The single is available for download on ITUNES, AMAZON and in stores where fine Bluegrass and Gospel music is sold. The lyric video for the song will be available next week. For more information of Tammy Jones Robinette & The Drive, please visit www.TammyJonesRobinetteandTheDrive.com.
"When Steve first played this song for me, I knew I had to record it!" says Robinette. "It captures the desperation I think we've all felt at some point—that we've lost our sense of direction, especially when we hit one dead end road after another," she explains. "We can throw up our hands and give up, or we can hand our keys to someone else and let them guide us down the right path," she explains. "The timing of this release couldn't be better either," she beams. "At the end of each year, we all sort of take a moment or two to reflect on our lives and resolve to do things different. What a great message headed into the new year!"
"I Think I'll Let You Drive" is the follow-up single to "To Be a Kid Again," which reached #6 on Bluegrass Today's Weekly Airplay Chart/Top-20 on the monthly chart.
Tammy Jones Robinette & The Drive is Robinette's sophomore Bluegrass project, produced by Mark Fain (award-winning bass player and longtime band member of Kentucky Thunder), and her first album with Rural Rhythm. Robinette's unique alto is flanked by a collection of superstar pickers including Fain (bass), Aubrey Haynie (fiddle), Ron Block (banjo), Seth Taylor (rhythm guitar), Rob Ickes (dobro) and the legendary Sam Bush (mandolin). Steve Gulley, Jamie Dailey, Jimmy Fortune, Dale Ann Bradley, Jennifer Wrinkle and David Casteel provide supporting vocals.
Despite her late arrival to the genre, Tammy Jones Robinette is a name already familiar to those who follow Southern Gospel. In fact, Robinette has already built a strong 20-year discography as a songwriter with stints at Zion, Centergy and Chestnut Mount music groups, recently celebrated two consecutive Southern Gospel #1s as a songwriter and was named "Favorite Female Vocalist" at the Gospel Music Fan Awards in 2014. But being raised in Owensboro, Kentucky, Tammy has always been compelled to honor her Bluegrass heritage. She and her husband Jim are the long-standing hosts of a 2-hour weekly nationally-syndicated radio show, The Southern Celebration, which focuses on both Bluegrass and Southern Gospel.
"You shouldn't outgrow your raisin' and this is the music that I grew up with," explains Tammy. "I have this hope that someday, when you see my name pop up on your Bluegrass radio station's dial, that you'll know that the song you will hear will be positive and inspirational and that I can be a consistent voice of good news."

In 1955, Uncle Jim O'Neal started Rural Rhythm with a few dollars and lot of dreams. He knew he couldn't produce all the bluegrass & old-time country records, so as he used to say he just "made the best of it". Over the years, Rural Rhythm has produced and distributed hundreds of classic performances by many of the legends and pioneers of Bluegrass and old-time Country Music such as Mac Wiseman, Don Reno, Red Smiley, Hylo Brown, Vassar Clements, Jim Eanes, Bill Harrell, Curly Fox, J.E. Mainer, Raymond Fairchild, Dale Potter, Tater Tate and more. Rural Rhythm has put a lot of dedication into preserving the works of traditional Bluegrass and old-time Country Music throughout the 50's, 60's & early 70's, now cataloged as Sound Traditions and Power Picks.
60 years later, Rural Rhythm Records has established itself as a leader in the traditional & contemporary Bluegrass market with major album titles being released recently by the following artists: Lonesome River Band, Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out, Marty Raybon (Grammy® Winner), Jim & Jesse (Legends & Grand Ole Opry members), Bobby Osborne (Legend & Grand Ole Opry member), Mountain Heart, Steve Gulley, Michael Martin Murphey (Grammy® Nominee), Larry Sparks (Dove® Nominee) , Lou Reid, John McEuen, The Roys, Audie Blaylock, Randy Kohrs (Grammy® Winner), Jim Van Cleve (Grammy® Nominee), The Marksmen Quartet (Dove® Nominee), Cody Shuler & Pine Mountain Railroad (Dove® Nominee), Ronnie Reno (IBMA Winner) and more.

Should children and other vulnerable users be allowed to bike on the footpath? Roger Boulter, an experienced cycling infrastructure planner, gives his view.
A petition has been presented to Parliament calling for "children under 14 years of age (and accompanying adults), seniors over the age of 65, and vulnerable users (such as those with mental or physical disabilities)" to be able to legally cycle on roadside footpaths.
Lower Hutt mother Jo Clendon, who started this petition, seems responsible and well-intentioned, but I'm appalled and saddened that some CAN members support this. The well-respected 'road user hierarchy' places pedestrians at a higher priority than cyclists. Pedestrian advocacy group Living Streets Aotearoa oppose this petition.
It gets more serious, though. One of the most important findings in the history of planning for cycling was the 1996 'Five Point Hierarchy of Measures', stating that the most important things which would help cyclists were to reduce the volume and then slow the speed of motor traffic. This is what needs tackling – not taking an 'easy way out' and transferring the threat onto an even more vulnerable group, people on foot.
This proposal is not just about 'little kids' avoiding busy roads. The wording above includes a very wide range. 14-year-olds aren't 'little'. How many 'accompanying adults', and what relationship to the 'children' (it's not just caregivers)? How does anyone know who falls into the (rather catch-all, I would suggest) "vulnerable users" category. And, at age 62, will I in three years' time become less of a threat than I am now? No – the very old will become more of a threat.
As for safety, many footpaths aren't wide enough for safe walking, let along cycling too. At intersections, crossing cyclists are towards the edge of a motorists' field of vision, at just the place where motorists will be concentrating on the road traffic, so will be more liable to be hit. Cars reversing from driveways will be severely constrained from seeing footpath cyclists (sometimes they won't see them at all), who will generally be going faster than people walking, and so less able to stop.
People (notably children) accustomed to riding on the footpath will not acquire the skills necessary to safely interact with motor traffic, meaning they will be more prone to being hit by motor traffic when they do use the roads (as inevitably they will sometimes).
There is a long and sad history of attempts to improve cyclists' safety, and get more people cycling, through providing off-road paths. Off-road paths and 'separated' and 'protected' cycleways have a role, but they only work as part of a wider strategy, the main part of which must be reducing and slowing motor traffic. Reducing and slowing traffic is why many North European countries, Portland USA, and other places, have succeeded so dramatically, but New Zealand has not followed their lead. Places which have relied heavily on providing for cyclists off-road, like late 20th century Milton Keynes, UK, and Canberra, Australia, also invariably find strong growth of an aggressive driving culture (e.g. "get these ***** cyclists off my road and onto their paths").
If the petitioners get their way, it will result in more danger, not less. More worrying to me, however, and very saddening, is that some CAN members, long accustomed to seeing themselves as the underdogs on the road, are becoming the new bullies in the playground against a group – people on foot – even more vulnerable that they are.

Cameras recorded the failure
China launched its Long March 5 rocket on Sunday, with the aim of creating the base for the country's space station. However, 40 minutes into its flight, the operation had failed.
Xinhua, the Chinese government's official news agency confirmed the news on Twitter and said that an 'anomaly' had been detected during takeoff. An investigation will now be carried out to clarify exactly what happened in an operation the Asian giant had high hopes for.

Long March 5 was the second of eight rockets that China was to send into space to then launch its space station into orbit in the next year or two.
The 57-metre-long rocket was carrying a 7-ton communications satellite.
This failure will no doubt cause delays to China's ambitious space plans. The progress made by Long March 5 was key for ensuing missions such as landing a space probe on the moon at the end of 2017 and on mars in 2020.
China joined the space race a little late in the day: it launched its first satellite in 1970, exactly a year after the United States had sent the first man to the Moon.

Old Hollywood Engagement Rings
Over the years, the Old Hollywood era of the late 1920s – early 1960s has become associated with elegance, glamor, and drama. This goes for both the films of the period and the lives of the performers who starred in them. The history of engagement rings and wedding rings stars have sported are no exception.
The famous actresses of classic Hollywood wore wedding bands and engagement rings that were both unique and extravagant. The following is a list of some of the most stunning Old Hollywood engagement rings.
Norma Shearer
One of the first Hollywood movie starlets, Norma Shearer married "Boy Wonder" MGM executive Irving Thalberg in 1927. After a long off-and-on courtship, Thalberg proposed to Shearer in true Hollywood fashion. The story goes that he called his future wife into his office at MGM and presented her with a tray full of diamond engagement rings. He then let her choose whichever ring she wanted. Shearer chose the massive marquise cut engagement ring pictured above.
Grace Kelly
In January 1956, Prince Rainier III of Monaco proposed to Grace Kelly with what turned out to be one of the most iconic emerald cut engagement rings in history. Princess Grace's 10.47-carat sparkler is set in platinum with a baguette diamond on either side. She famously wore it anywhere and everywhere, including in her last screen performance as Tracy Lord in High Society.
You can find similar emerald cut engagement rings here and here.
Audrey Hepburn
Elfin beauty Audrey Hepburn was married twice, but her pair of wedding rings from first husband Mel Ferrer are especially noteworthy. Known as a trendsetter and fashion enthusiast, it is only fitting that Ferrer gifted Hepburn two different rings when they were wed in September 1954.
The ring set consisted of a pair of stackable wedding bands. One was rose gold and one was white gold, so Hepburn could choose to wear one or both depending on her outfit and mood on a given day. Once again, Audrey Hepburn revealed herself as truly ahead of her time; she adopted the stackable rings trend decades before the general public.
Marilyn Monroe
If you don't count her rumored dalliance with a certain Mr. President, Marilyn Monroe's marriage to baseball legend Joe DiMaggio was undoubtedly her most famous relationship. The two eloped in 1954 at San Francisco's City Hall and were married for just nine months, but they remained friends for the rest of their lives.
Monroe's wedding ring from her marriage to DiMaggio was a platinum eternity band lined with thirty-six baguette diamonds. As it turns out, the wedding band has had a much longer life than the marriage. In 1999, it sold at a Christie's auction for $772,500.
In 2011, there was a great deal of hype surrounding Marilyn Monroe's wedding ring again as it was rumored to be part of another high value auction. The ring lost one of its baguette diamonds in the twelve years that passed between auctions, so it was set at a much lower value. Despite all the media coverage Monroe's eternity band was getting in 2011, though, the ring never went to its second auction.
You can find similar eternity bands here and here.
Lauren Bacall
Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart's marriage lives on as one of the most famous love affairs in Hollywood history. They were married on a farm in Ohio in 1945, and their May-December romance lasted until Bogart's death in 1957. Lauren Bacall's wedding ring is a bit of a mystery, but it appears to have a colored gemstone in the center and a relatively thick band width.
Elizabeth Taylor
With a grand total of eight marriages and seven husbands, it's no surprise that Elizabeth Taylor built up an impressive jewelry collection throughout the course of her life. We chose the wedding jewelry from her first three marriages, for two reasons. Her first three marriages occurred during the heyday of Old Hollywood, and the engagement and wedding jewelry from these marriages represent three distinct ring styles.
Though her first marriage to Conrad Hilton ended messily after only eight months, it began with a gorgeous engagement ring. Hilton proposed to Taylor with a 4-carat diamond set in platinum (which you can see here). She and the hotel heir had a rocky relationship, but there's no denying the simple elegance of her first engagement ring.
Taylor remarried just three months after leaving her volatile marriage to Conrad Hilton. Her second husband was English actor Michael Wilding, who fathered Taylor's two eldest children. Forever known for her standout signature style, Elizabeth Taylor was a trendsetter with her second engagement ring. During her second marriage, she wore a domed sapphire ring that was completely outside of the norm for the time. With this unique style choice, Elizabeth Taylor set a trend for sapphire engagement rings.
You can find similar sapphire styles here and here.
Following her divorce from Wilding, Liz Taylor again wasted no time before remarrying. In 1957, producer and entrepreneur Mike Todd became Taylor's third husband. Perhaps Mike Todd was following the buzz surrounding the wedding of Grace Kelly and the Prince of Monaco, because for her third marriage Liz Taylor received an emerald cut engagement ring. Liz's ring, however, was almost three times the size of Princess Grace's. At a massive 29.47 carats, the ring surely turned heads.
You can find similar styles here and here.
Judy Garland
Judy Garland's engagement ring from Vincente Minnelli (yes, Liza's father) was truly one of a kind. Ahead of their wedding in 1945, Minnelli gifted Garland a pink pearl engagement ring set in black onyx. There are notoriously few photos of this ring out there. As you can see, even the best picture we found doesn't do any justice to the ring's detail. A pearl and onyx ring is quite an offbeat piece even in today's time, so it was an incredibly unusual wedding jewelry choice in the 1940s. This should come as no surprise, given Garland's notoriously eccentric personality.
The engagement and wedding rings of Old Hollywood were just as stylish and unique as the stars that wore them. What's your favorite Old Hollywood engagement ring? Do you have a ring with a similar style to these starlets? Share your favorites, photos, and questions in the comments below!

There was a time when water resistance on a smartphone was rare. Now, at the high-end anyway, it's very common, notable more for its absence than its presence.
But some of these phones are still more water resistant than others and some are also just better phones than others too.
With that in mind, we've created this guide to the best water-resistant phones available. Their level of water resistance is a key factor in all of them, but they're all good phones too.
The Cat S41 is actually the most waterproof phone in this list, as it can survive being submerged for up to 1 hour at depths of up to 2 metres – that's half a metre deeper and for twice as long as the best water resistance you'll find on most mainstream handsets.
It only ranks low on our list though because waterproofing aside it's not as good as a lot of other handsets. This is a rugged phone through and through, designed not just to resist water, but also falls, scrapes and extreme weather.
That, coupled with its massive 5,000mAh battery, makes it ideal for adventurers and explorers, or just anyone who spends a lot of time outside and away from a phone charger.
Its 5-inch 1080 x 1920 screen, 13MP single-lens rear camera, 3GB of RAM, octa-core MediaTek Helio P20 chipset and 32GB of storage aren't overly impressive though, so if you're not regularly braving the elements and just need a phone that can survive an accidental dunk or a bit of rain, you'd be better off with one of the options below.
If on the other hand you need something even more resilient, consider the Cat S61 – it ups the water resistance to 3 metres and improves the specs, but comes in at a flagship price and remains a niche device.
This is a cheaper option than most phones in this list, and we're highlighting it in part because it's a relatively affordable way to get IP68 certification, meaning water resistance to depths of up to 1.5 metres for up to 30 minutes.
But it's a good phone in other ways too, especially for what it costs (under £300 at the time of writing).
It has a dual-lens camera on the front, making it more adept at selfies than most phones, and it has a sharp and vibrant 5.6-inch 1080 x 2220 Super AMOLED screen, an octa-core Exynos 7885 chipset, 4GB of RAM, a 16MP rear camera, and a stylish design, with a glass back and a metal frame.
This is a mid-range handset, but it has flagship flair and should suit all but the most demanding users.
The Google Pixel 3 XL is a true flagship, one that just so happens to be water-resistant. As with most phones in this list it has a rating of IP68, meaning it can be submerged up to 1.5 metres deep for up to 30 minutes.
The main selling point of this phone over other water-resistant flagships though is that it runs pure, unadulterated Android, meaning no bloat and no manufacturer overlays, making this one of the slickest takes on the OS you'll find. This also means that it will very quickly get updated to new versions, while most other phones have to wait months.
There's plenty more to like about the Pixel 3 XL though, including its big and bright 6.3-inch 1440 x 2960 OLED screen, and its impressively capable 12.2MP camera (which only has one lens but puts many multi-lens shooters to shame).
The Pixel 3 XL ranks below some other phones on this list mostly just because it's a bit older, and in turn its specs and design are slightly more dated, but it's still a high-end handset.
Now we're getting into the territory of truly top-tier water-resistant phones, with the Huawei P30 Pro not just offering an IP68 rating, but also being one of the best flagships around, for a number of reasons.
Chief among those is its quad-lens rear camera, which has a 40MP main lens, a 20MP wide-angle one, an 8MP telephoto one and a 3D depth sensor, so you can take all different kinds of shots, including high-quality zoom shots and detailed night time ones.
The Huawei P30 Pro also has a curved 6.47-inch OLED screen (albeit at a rather ordinary 1080 x 2340 resolution), a great design, an in-screen fingerprint scanner, a huge 4,200mAh battery, and of course lots of power from its octa-core Kirin 980 chipset and 8GB of RAM. If it wasn't for the screen resolution this would rank even higher.
The iPhone XS is yet another IP68-rated phone, but where most phones with such a rating can be submerged up to 1.5 metres deep in water for up to 30 minutes without damage, Apple claims that the iPhone XS can withstand depths of 2 metres for 30 minutes.
It's also the only iOS phone on this list, so if you want a waterproof iPhone then this (or the larger iPhone XS Max) is the one to go for. Thankfully, while there's less selection when it comes to water-resistant iPhones, the options you do have are among the best phones around.
The iPhone XS has a 5.8-inch OLED screen, a super-powered A12 Bionic chipset, a great dual-lens camera and a premium design, as well as all the things you only get on an iPhone, like access to Siri and arguably the best app store around.
The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus is our top pick if you're after a water-resistant phone. It can survive being submerged to 1.5 metres deep for up to 30 minutes, so it's not quite as waterproof as the iPhone XS or Cat S41, but overall it's a slightly better phone than the former and a much better phone than the latter.
It has an all-screen design with an in-screen fingerprint scanner and a dual-lens selfie camera cut into the corner of the screen. There are also three cameras on the back, plus a top-end Exynos 9820 chipset, so this is an enormously powerful phone, and it keeps going for a long time thanks to a 4,100mAh battery.
The aforementioned screen is a real highlight too. It's curved, big at 6.4 inches and super-sharp at 1440 x 3040, making for one of the best phone screens around.
Any of these phones will survive the rain, or a splash, dunk or spill. We wouldn't recommend taking any of them swimming, but if you're going to then the Cat S41 is the most likely to survive.
Overall though the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus gets our vote as the best all-rounder that's also water-resistant.
That said, it's also expensive, so if you're on a budget consider the Galaxy A8, while if you're more into Apple you won't go wrong with the iPhone XS. The Pixel 3 XL and Huawei P30 Pro are strong options too, depending on what else you want from your phone.

FTC Petitions for Certiorari in Reverse Payments DisputeBy Charles H. Chevalier and Todd M. Nosher, Gibbons
As we anticipated , the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") filed a petition for certiorari yesterday with the Supreme Court in FTC v. Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
In that case, the Eleventh Circuit upheld reverse payments (payments made by branded pharmaceutical patent holders to generic challengers to postpone market entry under the scope-of-the-patent approach, i.e., as long as the anti-competitive effects fall within the scope of the exclusionary potential of the patent, absent sham litigation or fraud), as lawful. The Second and Federal Circuits follow that approach. In contrast, the Third Circuit has held that such payments are presumptively anti-competitive under the "quick look rule of reason analysis" that may be rebutted by showing that the payments was for something other than delay or that the payment has a competitive benefit, and thereby increases competition.
The FTC's petition, filed by the U.S. Solicitor General, exhorts the Supreme Court to take up the case to resolve this clear Circuit split. The FTC's petition urges the Court to adopt the Third Circuit's interpretation that reverse-payment agreements are presumptively anti-competitive.

If you pack electronics on a trip, either remove the batteries or flip them around. Some small electronics can be simply flipped on. You certainly do not desire them flipping on with your bag during the trip. There is a good possibility the battery could possibly be drained as soon as they may be unpacked.
Take along a minumum of one dressy outfit along with you when you travel. The better formal clothes are, they harder they can be to bring along and maintain.

While you are traveling to an overseas country, learn something about its customs in advance. It may help you avoid embarrassing mistakes in local etiquette.

When eating with a restaurant where you are still unclear about the culture, take note of the habits from the other diners. Not simply will copying them help you decide what to order, it may even keep you from committing an uncomfortable faux pas while watching other diners.
Several sticks of Jerky, a candy bar
Check out international fastfood chains whenever you travel abroad! Initially this sounds like a silly suggestion that can make you neglect authentic local cuisine. However, the restaurants of international chains tend to be localized to cater to the palate of the natives. You may well be surprised and interested to find out the novelties on the menu in a restaurant you thought was familiar!

Most airlines will overbook their flights during busy times or seasons.

To avoid any awkward confrontations, perform a little research in case you are going to an international nation. This consists of looking up standard phrases for example "thanks," "just how much" and "how have you been." You need to browse around for standard customs of the nation, such as gestures, so that you can avoid offending a person with gestures or body language that seem normal to you.

I come across more and more people, especially the younger generation, who had many psychologists or therapists, who could not help them. Degrees and certificates do not really say a lot in psychology. You have to find the right psychologist, that suits you.
1. Experience
How can you help someone to go through a hard time, when you never went through a hard time yourself ? How can you help someone to face their fears and issues, when you don't face your own ? You can not explain someone how to help themselves, when you do not know how to help yourself.
2. Relationship between psychologist and client
There are many psychologists out there, with different approaches and personalities. For a successful therapy, it is very important that you have a good connection. Trust your feeling, wether this person can help you or not.
