Fashion house -
Isabel Marant opens her first Menswear store in Paris on September 17, 2019. At 111 Rue de Turenne, Isabel Marant is unveiling 50 square meters devoted to an innovative and multi-faceted concept inspired by the 70s, their irreverence, their retro pop aesthetic and famous subver- sive musicians. In the heart of the Haut Marais district, a stone's throw from the historic Isabel Marant store on Rue de Saintonge, this gallery-boutique showcases the brand's menswear wardrobe alongside a selection of works from international designers.
Mirroring the Isabel artful sophistication and pioneering spirit that defines the French designer's aesthetics, this concept has been developed by Marant's studio in close interaction with a group of talented young European designers and artisans. All sharing the same passion for contrasts, happy tensions and subtle imperfection creating a specific approach of an intimate luxury - a luxury that is personal.
For example, the store windows are framed by black wood panelling through which you see a penis-shaped children's playground rocker sculpted by Dutch artist Marteen Baas and taken from his work "Wellness & Wonder". A symbol of masculinity mixing childhood and maturity, it is the emblem of this new masculine space. In contrast, there is also a metal pyramid with a Brutalist feel by Wendy Andreu and Bram Vanderbeke that encourages visitors to explore the collection. Behind the doors, the foam shelves created by designer Dewi Van De Klomp shapeshiftaccording to the weight and type of items they support. The soft, airy texture echoes the foam acoustic panels at theback of the store which brings a recording studio vibe. Music is everywhere, from the Oswalds Mills Audio butterfly
speakers to the upholstered fitting room inspired by the album cover for Serge Gainsbourg's "Comic Strip".
Say Isabel Marant, think Parisian flow. Having founded her label in '94, she instantly became renowned for her pioneering and cosmopolitan spirit bringing self-affirmation and feel good effect to her dégaine. To do so, ever since her launch, she has been trying on each garment before it leaves her studio to ensure everything works in the everyday life of a real woman. In 2017, the designer decided it was only natural to bring out a menswear line: "I've been borrowing clothes from your wardrobe for so long, that it's a fair return to give back to you what is yours."
The Isabel Marant man has a decidedly Parisian look that combines attitude and character, while retaining an everyday fashion style that he can easily make his own.
The designer, who opened her first boutique in Paris in the late nineties, now has 41 stores worldwide and plans to continue expanding to places like Florence, Moscow, Shenzen and Taipei - and these just in the next six months. This new Paris store will exclusively stock the Isabel Marant Menswear collection.

Products with Peptides
There's a good reason why your once-youthful skin begins to sag and wrinkle as you age. Your skin gets its taut appearance from its substructure of collagen. Imagine it's wintertime, and you've built a snowman in your yard. Next, you drape a bedsheet over it and smooth the sheet down so it lays directly against the snowman's exterior. Initially, the form of the sheet looks exactly like the snowman you made. After a warm day has caused the snowman to melt a little, the sheet will look a little lumpier and more wrinkled.
If your skin was entirely dried out (don't try this at home), 80 percent of its remaining weight would be collagen [source: Bernstein].
Collagen consists of proteins formed from long chains of amino acids. When you're young, you have lots of collagen, and the links are strong. As you age, these chains break down and turn into peptides.
Peptides are shorter chains of amino acids, and their presence stimulates your skin to make more collagen (a process known as neocollagenesis). Your skin recognizes the externally added peptides as additional broken collagen chains that must be replaced with new collagen. The end result of using products that contain peptides is an effect similar to that of Botox.
Pour yourself a fresh cup of hot, clean skin before reading about the next skin cleansing advancement.

Driving the Prius to work this morning, I was not paying too much attention to optimizing the mileage, but everything seemed to work out, and on my 20 mile (32 km) drive, I got 63 mpg (3.7 liters per 100 km for those of you in the metric world, i.e., every country but the US!). My previous best was about 58 mpg. This little trip cost me about $1.30 for 0.32 gallons of gas (at $4.09 a gallon).
When I first got the car in June 2007, I was getting around 45 mpg on my benchmark route, but over time it has tended to be 48-52 mpg depending on conditions. It's a mix of suburban streets, secondary roads, highways, and interstates, and on the interstates, I tend to drive around 73 mph which is not ideal for the Prius hybrid system. Today the traffic was flowing a bit slower on the I290 and I495, around 65-69 mph, and with cruise control (and no A/C) this really helped to ration the gas.
I really do like the Prius!

This Introduction to Ocean and Ecology Curriculum Guide contains materials for use with The Ocean Book and The Ecology Book in the Wonders of Creation series.
Features: Each suggested weekly schedule has three easy-to-manage lessons which combine reading, worksheets, and vocabulary-building opportunities including an expanded glossary for each book. Designed to allow your student to be independent, materials in this resource are divided by section so you can remove quizzes, tests, and answer keys before beginning the coursework. As always, you are encouraged to adjust the schedule and materials as you need to in order to best work within your educational program.
Workflow: Students will read the pages in their book and then complete each section of the Study Guide. Younger students may select one or more of the Activities and Projects in each chapter of the Study Guide. They should be encouraged to complete as many as possible, especially those they have a special interest in. Older students should be encouraged to complete as many of the Activities and Projects as possible. Tests are given at regular intervals with space to record each grade. Younger students may be given the option of taking open book tests.
Lesson Scheduling: Space is given for assignment dates. There is flexibility in scheduling. For example, the parent may opt for a M–W schedule rather than a M, W, F schedule. Each week listed has five days but due to vacations the school work week may not be M–F. Please adapt the days to your school schedule. As the student completes each assignment, he/she should put an "X" in the box.
This is the suggested course sequence that allows one core area of science to be studied per semester. You can change the sequence of the semesters per the needs or interests of your student; materials for each semester are independent of one another to allow flexibility.

text: Donald Rumsfeld has distanced himself from Boykin's remarks Donald Rumsfeld said on Tuesday that Lieutenant General William Boykin's request, which followed a furore over his allegedly "anti-Muslim" comments, was "appropriate". Boykin, deputy undersecretary of defence for intelligence, denied he was anti-Muslim after being quoted as saying the so-called war on terrorism was a Christian struggle against Satan. The Bush administration has distanced itself from the general's remarks, but has ignored calls by critics that he be reprimanded or reassigned. Satanic enemy Speaking in uniform before a Christian group in June, Boykin claimed "radical Islamists" hate America "because we're a Christian nation, because our foundation and our roots are Judeo-Christian...and the enemy is a guy named Satan." Our "spiritual enemy," Boykin said, "will only be defeated if we come against them in the name of Jesus." The general infamously also referred to a Somali commander who boasted on CNN that he would not be captured because Allah would protect him. "Radical Islamists (hate America)... because we're a Christian nation, because our foundation and our roots are Judeo-Christian...and the enemy is a guy named Satan" William Boykin,US deputy undersecretary of defence for intelligence"I knew that my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God and his was an idol," Boykin said. Pentagon embarrassment Apologising if he had offended anyone, Boykin said last week that the reference to an "idol" was not to Allah but to the "worship of money and power". Boykin's statements were vetted by Pentagon lawyers and public affairs officials before they were released, but Rumsfeld insisted they were Boykin's alone and did not reflect the Pentagon's views. And General Peter Pace, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Boykin had told him he was saddened by the furore. "There's no doubt in my mind, in talking to him, that if he could pick his words more carefully he would," Pace said. Good v Evil "There's also no doubt in my mind that he does not see this battle as a battle between religions. "He sees it as a battle between good and evil. He sees it as the evil being the acts of individuals, not the acts of any religion or affiliation with religion." An evangelical Christian, Boykin was a former commander of the army's ultra secret Delta force and took part in special operations in Iran, Colombia and Somalia. "Putting a man with such extremist views in a critical policy-making position sends entirely the wrong message to a Muslim world that is already sceptical about America's motives and intentions"Nihad Awad,CAIRAs deputy under secretary for intelligence, he was charged with reinvigorating the hunt for Usama bin Laden and other "high value" targets. Muslim outrage Following his remarks, American Muslim groups reacted with outrage. Nihad Awad, Council on American Islamic Relations Executive Director, said: "Putting a man with such extremist views in a critical policy-making position sends entirely the wrong message to a Muslim world that is already sceptical about America's motives and intentions. "Everyone is entitled to their own religious beliefs, no matter how ill-informed or bigoted, but those beliefs should not be allowed to colour important decisions that need to be made in the war on terrorism. "General Boykin should be reassigned to a position in which he will not be able to harm our nation's image or interests." SOURCE: Aljazeera + Agencies

Raining in the Mountain (1979)
Review #1,056
Director: King Hu
Cast: Hsu Feng, Sun Yueh, Shih Chun
Plot: An esquire and a General eyes a priceless handwritten scroll by Tripitaka, held in a Temple library. The Abbot of the Temple selects his successor.
Genre: Drama / Action
Awards: -
Runtime: 120min
Rating: PG
IN RETROSPECT (Spoilers: NO)
It didn't really rain in the mountain. I spotted a drizzle, but there wasn't rain. King Hu's beautiful title of a film may suggest a poetic edge, but don't expect swordfighting in the rain on a mountaintop, a mental image I tried to project prior to seeing the movie.
Much of the film is set in a temple as crafty people – monks, generals, and esquires try to outwit one another to steal a valuable Buddhist scroll. In the ensuing chaos and strategic backfiring, an old abbot must find a successor.
Hu's screenplay is dense with plotting, and his direction sees his characters always thinking ahead, though rarely shrewdly. We see them dart from one place to another. They hide behind a door; they emerge from a window. The precise camerawork tracking their movements is a joy to behold.
If you can appreciate Hu's delicate raising of dramatic stakes and the consistent build-up of tension through percussion music, you will find Raining in the Mountain entertaining in its own unique way. To call it a wuxia picture might be inaccurate. Action does not dominate the proceedings unlike Hu's other more action-oriented works such as Dragon Inn (1967) and The Valiant Ones (1975).
In Raining in the Mountain, the focus is on drama and situational humour. From the period setting and costumes to the traditional power plays that unfold, Hu's film in many ways resembles closely to the kind of popular Chinese or Korean television drama serials that are set in ancient times, about conniving subordinates with ulterior motives plotting against each other for power and greed.
Here, instead of a king's palace, we have an abbot's temple, continuing Hu's fascination with Buddhism after the epic A Touch of Zen (1971), where peace-minding monks have extraordinary powers. Here, monks are merely pawns. At one point, some of them even revolt against terrible food served in the temple.
Raining in the Mountain is underrated. It is in some way a small departure for Hu, yet it retains the filmmaking style and spirit of the master filmmaker's earlier works. The lack of action is not a liability, though Hu obliges with a climactic chase sequence in a forested area, showing us why at the flick of a switch, he can expertly turn dramatic tension into a more cinematic, thrilling form.
Verdict: Full of plotting and deception, this drama-focused King Hu work manages to entertain through consistent build-up.
GRADE: A- (8.5/10 or 4 stars)

Few ticketbuyers will take joy in "The Pleasure of Being Robbed," Joshua Safdie's pranksterish New York indie portrait of a deeply unsympathetic young distaff hustler. Vaguely French New Wave-inspired vision of urban delinquency got a Cannes Directors' Fortnight slot and subsequent IFC Films pickup. But the roughly hourlong film, shot in 16mm, is sub-mumblecore, with sound so lo-fi, it's nearly no-fi. Some fests will get "Robbed," but streetwise exhibs should keep their pocketbooks zipped.
Charmless, unclearly motivated protag Eleonore (co-writer Eleonore Hendricks) is introduced conning a stranger before stealing a girl's kittens and puppy, then a parked Volvo as scruffy hipster acquaintance Josh (Safdie) momentarily steers the sputtering narrative north to Boston. Aforementioned animals remain offputtingly MIA as Eleonore shows relative concern for a Bronx zoo "polar bear" played in absurd costume by co-producer Sam Lisenco. A minor character named in credits as "Hello Beautiful/Handsome Day Maker" is played by an actor known simply as "Batman." New York location shooting appears aptly purloined, but tech accomplishments, with muffled dialogue and fuzzy imagery, are borderline appalling even by the old-school DIY standards to which the pic pretentiously aspires.

Powerscourt House and Gardens is located in the scenic Wicklow Mountains of County Wicklow, Ireland. It is one of the most well-maintained country estates in Ireland. A castle was built there by 1300 and was inhabited by several historically significant Irish families. In the 1600's, the castle was transformed into the manor house that we see today. Unfortunately in the 1970's, a fire gutted the entire house except for the exterior stonework. A restoration project began in 1996 to repair the house. Currently there is a new roof and the main rooms of the downstairs have been restored for use as shops, a cafe and historical display.
The gardens of Powerscourt have been worked upon in two main phases. The first, in the mid 1700's, involved the gardens of the main lawn and a wooded trail around the perimeter. In the mid 1800's work commenced again with a re-drawing of the designs to include Italian and Japanese-themed gardens. It takes about an hour to meander the exterior pathway through 200 year old tree groves, explore the circles of the Japanese gardens, climb the decorative castle tower overlooking the property, and stop to smell the roses.
In typical estate gardening, the more formal gardens are closer to the house while the more wild, free flowing gardens create the outer border. The Irish environmental conditions, similar to England with lots of rain and minimal temperature extremes, are extremely conducive to creating amazing gardens.

Maid Rites in Ohio???? Yup!
Now what does that have to do with Ohio? Well I was on a drive in Oxford and 100% planning on heading to Kona Bistro. There used to be one in Cinci and I miss it very much - so that's where I was set on going. Until...I saw this:
In the trees - what is that? A Maid Rite???? What the hell?????? I was giddy! So we abandoned Kona (we'll be back) and headed across the street.
You see when I do make the pilgrimage to Iowa - I always get a Maid Rite. We had one in my small home town growing up and I just love them. So to get one in Ohio?! Woohoo!
On the way - noticed this gorgeous old movie theater and had to take a picture. I am a Princess after all.
Here's the menu - click on it to see full screen. It's very simple and at $1.70 it's becoming VERY popular among the Miami U student body!
When we walked in I was very excited and proclaimed my love for Iowa Maid Rites. The young man behind the counter quickly informed me this was not affiliated with that chain and they are a little different - still loose meat - but not the "Iowa" Maid Rite. I was still excited - how different could it be?
Ah - here's my Cheese Rite, chips and chocolate shake. The shake was really good. But - how was the Maid Rite?
Well - I can't believe it but - it was disappointing. I can't put my finger on it - but there's definitely a difference. The bun was wrong, the seasoning wasn't the same, there was no spoon to pick up the fall out meat - it just wasn't my Iowa Maid Rite.
But - it was okay and it was really cheap - so all in all - a good experience. The owners of this shop also own one in Greenville, OH that is supposedly pretty famous around the area.
While in Oxford, we walked around and enjoyed the downtown a bit. It's a great spot and made me miss college.
I'm also on this "old sign" kick lately and spotted this one in Hamilton, OH. Who wouldn't want a Hungry Bunny Burger?
Why Should You Go? Well if you like the Greenville Maid Rites or if you're looking for cheap dining in a college town - it's a good option!
4 comments
not to get picky... but the main part of town is the UPtown... there is no downtown in Oxford!!ReplyDelete
Also - the Princess movie theatre isn't that old... can't tell you how old.. but I know that as a child, the only theatre was the Miamian.. which is now a restaurant/bar on High street - but with the same signage out front..
glad you enjoyed Oxford! It is a beautiful town!
We just had some Maid Rites last night from the Greenville Oh shop. We always add a little more mustard and I like a little more pepper. I also noticed their buns seem to taste just a little sweet. I don't know what brand they use. We've noticed they just don't seem to taste like they did when we were younger, but I suppose at 73 and 75 our taste buds are a little off. LOL But we still buy a bag full when we get up that way, they're good warmed in the microwave, but you have to be careful, too much warming and the bun gets too hard.ReplyDelete
Yeah - the buns were sweet - wasn't like home. Maybe i'll have to treck to Greenville sometime and try those!ReplyDelete
I might be partial, but Greenville has THE BEST Maid Rites.ReplyDelete

Cathy Lamb
Published: Kensington Books
Date: 2013
Genre: Women's fiction
Format: Paperback
Source: Own book
Summary from Goodreads
For decades, the women in Meggie O'Rourke's family have run Lace, Satin, and Baubles, a lingerie business that specializes in creations as exquisitely pretty as they are practical. The dynamic in Meggie's family, however, is perpetually dysfunctional. In fact, if Meggie weren't being summoned back to Portland, Oregon, by her grandmother, she'd be inclined to stay away all together.
Since her husband's death a year ago, Meggie's emotions have been in constant flux, and so has her career as a documentary film maker. Finding ways to keep the family business afloat—and dealing with her squabbling sister and cousin—will at least give her a temporary focus. To draw customers to their website, Meggie decides to interview relatives and employees about their first bras and favorite lingerie. She envisions something flip and funny, but the confessions that emerge are unexpectedly poignant. There are stories of first loves and aching regrets, passionate mistakes and surprising rendezvous. And as the revelations illuminate her family's past, Meggie begins to find her own way forward.
My thoughts
Some time ago I was hooked by Shelleyrae over on Book'd Out when she wrote this review for If You Could See What I See by Cathy Lamb. After reading her review I sent away for the book and just now got around to reading it. I loved it. Thanks to Shelleyrae I now have a new-to-me author; I want to read all the other books Cathy Lamb has written.
This book had an amazing cast of characters all centred around the family business. Meggie who tells the story, has just recently returned, to become the CEO of the business - which is struggling. Meggie is struggling too, because of her recent past. This past is revealed piece by piece in the book - a mystery that is slowly revealed, through the flashbacks which work really well. Little pieces of information are given and the reader wonders - why?
Meggie's sisters, grandmother and mother are all strong, feisty women. They love, they fight for what they believe, they are there for each other. They are all interesting, each has their own challenges to meet. Lacey, one of Meggie's sisters has this amazing family of teenagers - and each have their own issues. I liked every character, as I laughed and at other times felt my heart touched by their stories.
There are many issues explored in this book, each explored in a thoughtful and compassionate way by the author. As a reader you are presented with the opportunity to think about these issues. As in life, there are no clear cut answers, however the reader is given insight into each character's point of view. In every issue there are many stakeholders, Cathy Lamb shows this very well.
This book is a keeper, one to pick up and reread again.

Rihanna covers the November 2013 issue of Glamour magazine but it's not the fashion that's getting noticed, it's her hair. I've always advised women that short curly hair can be fashionable too and I'm so glad to see Rihanna in this hairstyle.
Considering all the celebs that have recently drastically revamped their looks via their hair alone, Rihanna has never been one that maintained your typical mainstream hairdo. Rather, she's always made a fashion statement with hairdos that you'll never expect and with choices that always works well too. My goodness, this new hair style does not disappoint. Rihanna looks so photogenic and this new curly hairdo just adds to her stylish past. I hope many fashionistas will follow this trend. Enough with straight hair because curls has always been beautiful. Do you agree?

On behalf of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), we want to thank the physicians who worked with us to update the Fall 2017 Maintenance of Certification (MOC) exam blueprints for:
- Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology (CCEP),
- Interventional Cardiology (ICARD),
- Pulmonary Disease, and
- Geriatric Medicine.
The blueprint is a vital tool to aid diplomates in their exam preparation. The blueprint provides physicians with an outline of the exam's content and shows the percentage of exam questions that one should expect to answer in each category. The blueprint review is a crucial part of improving MOC in that it allows physicians to share data about their real-world clinical experience and serves to make the exam more relevant by asking about the prevalence of common diseases and the importance of clinical tasks such as diagnostic testing. Engaging physicians in the blueprint review process ensures the questions you see on the exam are reflective of what you see in practice (with nearly 5,000 physicians having participated to date).
This endeavor really has been a community effort. Geriatricians who are certified by the American Board of Family Medicine also contributed to the blueprint review. Medical specialty societies played an important role in raising awareness and encouraging their members to participate in the process. Updated blueprints are just one example of ABIM's ongoing partnership with the internal medicine community to ensure that the MOC process is meaningful and relevant to physicians.
We previously studied how closely exam questions reflected conditions internists see in practice, overhauled our governance structure to include more practicing physicians and actively engaged physicians from all over the country in informing updates to our programs.
We are a better organization because of you.
We hope that your next exam experience reflects these changes, and thank you for your continued insights and feedback on ABIM's programs.
Check out the updated blueprints:

The STM has unveiled its second Sustainable Development Plan, which will be in effect until 2020.
The Société de transport de Montréal (STM) has unveiled its second Sustainable Development Plan, which will be in effect until 2020.
"The STM contributes to the sustainable development of Montréal and Québec in two ways," said Michel Labrecque, Chairman of the Board of Directors. "First, because the service it provides offers citizens an efficient, safe, environment-friendly mode of travel, while also helping to improve quality of life. And second, because it acts responsibly by integrating environmental, social and economic considerations into all of its activities and business processes."
Improved service
One of the priorities outlined in the Plan is to improve service to maximize the benefits of public transit. In fact, the STM is targeting a 40% increase in ridership, to reach 540 million trips in 2020.
The acquisition of 468 new Azur metro cars, the purchase of a further 316 hybrid buses and the addition of more than 200 km of bus priority measures (reserved lanes and priority traffic lights) will definitely contribute to achieving this objective. The bus priority measures alone, which will total 370 km in 2020, will mean time savings of 15% to 20% on the routes affected. As well, the percentage of trips that are partially or totally powered by electricity (metro, hybrid bus, electric midibus, trolleybus, tramway) will grow from 69% to 86%.
Other measures to enhance service, such as installing bicycle racks on more buses and adding 300 new bicycle parking spaces near metro stations and bus terminals, bringing the total to 3,500 spots, will continue to promote a mix of modes of transit, or transportation cocktail, as well as intermodality.
Greater inclusiveness
To foster universal accessibility, an additional $87 million will be invested in the bus and metro system, making travel easier for people with functional limitations by adding elevators, installing new accessible bus shelters and improving public address systems in stations, for example. The STM will also keep up its ambitious employment equity program which has given it a workforce where 21% of employees come from visible and ethnic minorities, and 24% are women.
Reduced ecological footprint
The Sustainable Development Plan lays out a series of measures intended to reduce the STM's ecological footprint. First, by improving its environmental management system, based on the ISO 14001 standard, but also by increasing the residual-material recovery rate from 63% to 80%, in line with the objectives set by the Québec government and the city of Montréal.
In addition, all new construction projects will aim for LEED certification. This is already true of the new Stinson transportation centre, currently under construction, which is designed to LEED Gold standard¾a first in Canada for this type of building.
Sustainable procurement
Finally, the STM will continue improving its social, environmental and economic performance through its procurement processes. It will establish a sustainable procurement policy that incorporates recent experience in integrating sustainability criteria into various calls for tenders, such as those for the Azur metro cars and Legendre body shop.
"Certainly, we have a major challenge before us if we want to become one of the world's best transit authorities. But we know that integrating environmental, social and economic considerations into our practices will enable us to reach this goal, and remain an exemplary corporate citizen that places sustainable development at the top of its priorities. Our Sustainable Development Plan truly reflects this commitment," Mr. Labrecque added.
The Plan is available at the following address:

LABL is changing the way it pays officials- coming soon!
In the past, LABL have operated a system whereby an official gets paid by the home club after the game. However, we would like to introduce a new system for the payment of officials in which the clubs pay LABL in advance and LABL pays the officials directly. The new system will involve LABL asking officials for their account number and sort code and transferring across the correct amount via the online banking system, BACs.
This has a number of advantages including:
- Ensuring all LABL officials are paid in a consistent and timely fashion;
- Saving LABL time in chasing up clubs who fail to pay officials the correct amount or not at all;
- It is a reliable, quick and safe way of paying officials as well as improving the way we invoice clubs.
How will the new system work?
We will transfer payment to officials on the day that they have officiated, though if it is a weekend, expect payment to come through the next working day.
To set up BACs, you will need to do the following:
1) associate your current email account with Google (which takes less than 2 minutes) so we can then add you to the secure area of our Google site;
2) fill in and submit the Online BACs Form (which takes about a minute).
Then you're done!
Click here to enter the secure area of our site.
Is it safe to provide bank details?
Yes. We only ask you for your Account number and Sort Code, and such information can only be used to credit an account and not debit it! For extra security, LABL shall:

By Army Sgt. 1st Class Tyrone C. Marshall Jr.
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6, 2014 – The Defense Department remains committed to helping the government and people of Iraq to root out terrorists seeking safe haven, Pentagon spokesman Army Col. Steven Warren told reporters here today.
"We're working closely with the Iraqis to develop a holistic strategy to isolate al-Qaida-affiliated groups so that tribes, working with security forces, can root them out of populated areas," he said.
Warren noted some "early successes" along those lines in Ramadi.
"Tribal forces and police, with the Iraqi army providing overwatch, appear to have isolated the [Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant] in pockets of the city," he said. "It's still early, however."
In working closely with the Iraqi government, Warren said, the primary assistance has come through the State Department's foreign military sales program.
"We're also continuing to accelerate our … foreign military sales deliveries with an additional 100 Hellfire missiles ready for delivery this spring," he said. "These missiles are one small element of a more holistic strategy." They've proven effective at denying ISIL terrorists the safe-haven zones they've sought to establish in western Iraq, he added.
Warren said the Defense Department is committed to promoting stability in Iraq, and that more than $14 billion in equipment, services and training have been delivered to the Iraqi government since 2005.
For example, in the last year, Warren said, the United States delivered six C-130 aircraft, a rapid Avenger surface-to-air missile battery, 27 helicopters, and 12 P301 patrol boats.
"And we've expedited delivery of those 100 Hellfire missiles, along with 10 ScanEagle [unmanned aerial vehicles], which will be delivered this spring," he said.
Warren also reiterated Secretary of State John F. Kerry's recent message that no U.S. forces are being sent to Iraq.
"I think Secretary Kerry was pretty clear this weekend that we will not be sending forces into Iraq," he said. "But we, … like I said, are very much committed to the Iraqis."
The colonel added that the Iraqi army is very capable, and that its capabilities are increasing, largely due to the foreign military sales equipment the United States has sent there.
Warren said service members working in the Office of Security Cooperation in Iraq and Marine Corps security forces at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad number between 100 and 200. U.S. forces are not doing mission planning, he added, noting that the Office of Security Cooperation works at the ministerial level. "It is the line [of communication] that we have from the department into Iraqi security forces and the Iraqi army apparatus," said he explained.
Despite media reports, Warren said, he has confidence in the Iraqi army.
"Ramadi is already back under Iraqi control, so I'm confident that the Iraqi army is a very capable force," he said. "[And] I think Secretary Kerry said it best: this is [the] Iraqis' fight to fight."

Watch! What a great and candid speech! 🙂
WATCH: What fashion faux pas did PM Lee Hsien Loong commit when he was a student in Australia in 1967? This was revealed in his milestone address to the Australian parliament. (Video: Australian House of Representatives)
Posted by CNA on Tuesday, 11 October 2016
I really thank God that we have such a great and respected prime minister like Lee Hsien Loong.
Because of his dedication to Singapore and various media appearances, Singapore is continued to be respected all over the world. Not in Finland though, because a large part of Finns still live in their own world–but that is not our problem.
For one, today PM Lee delivered an address to a joint sitting of the Australian Parliament, an extremely rare honour specially set apart for Australia's most important political partners. He was in Australia for the bilateral defence talk.
For another, he was the one who stuck to a position in spite of China pressurising Singapore's position in the South China Sea dispute. This showed China conclusively that Singapore is no pushover.
Last but not least, Barrack and Michelle Obama did invite PM Lee and Mdm Ho Ching to the white house–showing their deepest respect for the Singaporean leaders.
How do we not respect PM Lee? 🙂

Panthers roll to non-conference victory
BROOKLINE, Mass. – Senior guard DeAsia 'Ace' Lawrence (Middletown, Conn.) scored a game-high 12 points for Plymouth State University as the Panthers topped Newbury College, 56-32, in women's basketball action Thursday night at Pappas Gymnasium; the first contest for both teams following the Winter Break.
The bench scored big for the Panthers, including eight points from sophomore Debra Morrill (Concord, N.H.) and six points from sophomore Cassidy Emerson (Concord, N.H.). In total, the Panthers' bench scored 29 of the team's 56 points on the night.
For the Nighthawks, only junior Destiny Spears (Arnold, Md.) was able to score double digit points; totaling 10 in her 36 minutes. Spears was able to record her team-leading fifth double-double; she also grabbed 11 rebounds. The trio of Savannah Olsen (Battle Creek, Mich.), Taylor Kelley (North Billerica, Mass.) and Allison Kelly (Dorchester, Mass.) all finished with six points.
The Panthers used an impressive opening quarter and good ball movement to take control of the game early. PSU recorded an assist on each of its eight field goals in the first quarter, while holding Newbury to just 2-of-14 shooting in the opening frame to build an 18-2 lead after one. PSU added 18 points in both the second and third quarters to take a 54-22 lead into the fourth. The Plymouth State reserves were held to just a pair of free throws over the final ten minutes, but the game was already well in hand.
Pappas Gymnasium, Brookline, Mass. – Thurs., Jan. 5, 2017

* The Panther defense forced 23 Nighthawk turnovers, which led to 26 PSU points.
First Quarter:
* Swanson put PSU on top 2-0 with a jumper in the early going.
* Newbury took its only lead of the game when Kelley was fouled on a jumper and the sophomore was able to complete the old-fashioned three-point play.
* Emerson and Lawrence combined for nine straight Panther points to pull ahead 14-5 with 2:24 left in the quarter and PSU never looked back.
* A layup from freshman Chenysse Hill (Lynn, Mass.) made it 18-5 at the end of the first.
Second Quarter:
* After Lawrence extended the lead to 21-5 in the opening minutes of the second quarter, Newbury answered with a mini run to make it a ten point game (21-11).
* PSU responded with an extended 11-2 run to move ahead 32-13 with 2:08 left in the half.

* Newbury was able to hold the Panthers to just two points in the final frame, but the deficit was way too much for the Nighthawks to overcome as PSU cruised to the victory.

* The Nighthawks are back in conference play Saturday (3:00 p.m.) as well, when they square off with Regis College in a rematch of last season's NECC Championship Game.

Our services
Practice areas
The Worth Street Group takes what defines your organization as a moral collective —the spirit and values of leadership and governance — and translates governance, risk management and compliance metrics that align business objectives, legal and regulatory requirements, with these core values.
We offer the most specialized solutions in matters of governance, risk management and compliance, to the specific risks faced by our clients. The strategies we construct focus on business management in order to avoid legal, financial or reputational risks while encouraging the growth of business.
As corporations become increasingly globalized, their exposure to the risks of individual misconduct on the part of their employees turned will only grow. Remaining compliant with the multiple legislations represents a particular challenge. It has only become more important for firms to implement efficient governance, risk management and compliance measures.
Companies who work with the Worth Street Group have at their disposal experts from over twenty jurisdictions with vast experience in national and international legislation. Our broad reach and depth of experience make us particularly well placed to address corporate requirements in governance, risk management and compliance matters.
The elements of our compliance program:
How could corporations to mess the effectiveness of their compliance programs?
The Worth Street Group conducts frequent and expansive analysis in determining the effectiveness of compliance programs. Our compliance audits include data analysis and examination of diverse compliance controls that are in line with national and international standards and corporate best practice.
The experts of the Worth Street Group use social scientific models and practical knowledge and experience to address the rapidly evolving field of corporate compliance. With the benefit of an international and multidisciplinary perspective, we guarantee our clients an adequate evaluation of their compliance programs.
Over the course of internal investigations, it is important to secure any evidence that may be valuable for legal proceedings, as well as identify the factors responsible for misconduct. We also look to detect the deficiencies in the preventive mechanisms so as to prevent further losses.
Here at Worth Street Group, we not only duly monitor potential risks, but also provide on-going advisory services for the development of prevention policies. As we represent a partnership of the best experts from jurisdictions all across the world, we have both the knowledge and geographical advantage necessary for the development of integrated solutions.
The Worth Street Group not only provides corporations with solutions to carry out effective and specialized internal investigations, but also facilitates the responsible administration of compliance resources.
As national legal systems grow more complex, companies must submit themselves to increasingly higher standards of governance and self-regulation. Since the obligation of acting upon complaints lies predominantly on employers, our team is ready to handle those demands and help our clients take precautions against criminal misconduct through efficient whistle-blowing systems.
Internal reports and whistleblower statements must inspire confidence in company employees and present reliable support for internal investigations. Therefore, the Worth Street Group has developed methods for identifying and repairing gaps in pre-existent programs. We assist clients as they construct new whistle-blowing systems capable of mitigating legal, financial and reputational risks.
In order to alleviate legal, financial and reputational risks, a company needs strong shielding mechanisms that mitigate current vulnerabilities in their international practice. Implementing a compliance system for third parties and contractors is the safest way to guard companies' interests. Our job is to help clients maintain good quality business relationships while reducing the risk for criminal misconduct.
The Worth Street Group provides effective solutions for third party compliance through the rigorous examination of third party conduct. We use numerous IT tools for the collection, systematic management and evaluation of relevant data regarding third parties in order to determine possible risks and take the proper measures.
Asset tracing is an investigative procedure that aims to trace and identify stolen assets in order to hasten their recovery. Tracing and identifying stolen assets usually requires legal maneuvering and practical investigative actions to determine their location and assess whether they can be associated to a crime. This information may be acquired through various ways, including judicial assistance.
The Worth Street Group's members are experienced in the investigation and prosecution of fraud and in tracing misappropriated assets across national borders. In addition, our consultants have managed multi-jurisdictional investigations, which augments our ability to solve those problematic issues.
Once the asset tracing results have been confirmed, it is important to prevent assets from being moved or spent. Asset recovery is a procedure that is both legally and politically complex. Successful recovery will require international cooperation in legal matters. As stolen assets are usually spread across different countries, recovering them requires both technical skill and knowledge of the local administrative, civil and criminal legislation of the jurisdictions involved.
The Worth Street Group is equipped to handle these challenges through a wide array of counter-measures, performed by our international experts, to freeze, seize and recover the stolen assets. We have developed professional and specialized services for both sides of this operation: the victims of financial crimes and the companies that were unknowingly complacent in their being committed.
Transnational trades, commerce and investments have all been influenced and affected by a growing international regulatory framework. Intimate knowledge of international law and jurisprudence has become increasingly important for private and public companies developing a multi-national practice. A precise practical familiarity with international court procedure is valuable guarantee in matters of criminal law.
The Worth Street Group is composed of international experts from diverse countries, who have both theoretical knowledge and extensive litigation and arbitration experience in international cases, guaranteeing high quality practical performance in international courts.
Field of expertise
Anti-corruption laws have grown increasingly complex. Companies that conduct business across borders face a stringent set of national laws with extraterritorial relevancy. Laws like the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act allow countries to penalize non-domicile firms for conduct within their borders. In this way, effective anti-corruption policies offer the best protection against the financial, legal and reputational risks of corruption.
The Worth Street Group supports its clients in this challenge by designing or improving corporate compliance programs. In addition, we help clients develop whistle-blowing systems, conduct internal investigations and institute third party compliance.
We provide companies general policy advice in order to reduce any risks associated with money laundering. We advise our clients on how to meet national and international regulatory requirements and standards for preventive mechanisms and conduct successful internal investigations that will allow them to successfully negotiate with prosecution.
Our teams include anti-money laundering consultants internationally who have been recognized internationally, as well as former bank regulators, financial institution compliance officers, IT specialists, former bankers and industry specialists, whose large experience assures better results.
Fraudulent activities are one of many risk factors that companies face. Without the proper mechanisms in place, it could take years before a company detects fraudulent behavior amongst its workers. Effective fraud prevention policies are in the best interest of companies, in order to detect and deter fraud before its full potential consequences are realized.
Because of this, the Worth Street Group implements compliance strategies and carries out internal investigations, in order to reduce companies' exposure to risk. We advise our clients on how to implement and improve whistle-blowing systems, write and renovate code of ethics and integrate third party compliance programs.
Environmental crime is increasingly becoming an area of focus for law enforcement in all civil, administrative and criminal fields. Many jurisdictions have opted to introduce corporate criminal liability regarding environmental crimes exposing companies to renewed risks. Professional legal advice from local experts has become crucial in jurisdictions where these stringent regulations apply.
The international nature of our practice has enabled us to fully support our clients in this capacity. Our teams of experts from different jurisdictions can advise international and national companies and help firms achieve environmental due diligence with compliance programs tailored to their business model.
Market manipulation consists of conduct intentionally designed to artificially control the market by illegally influencing the supply, demand or price of a financial instrument. The misconduct often creates false or deceptive circumstances for the valuation of financial instruments.
In order to promote transparency and avoid any legal, financial and reputational risks, the Worth Street Group promotes training and capacity building for a client's employees. We also equip our clients with an efficient whistle-blowing system, so that they can identify potential misconduct early and support internal investigations.
Competition law in the United States and Europe has given rise to a particularly severe set of fines and penalties for convicted misconduct. In addition to the administrative fines now imposed by over 120 worldwide competition regulators, companies found guilty of collusion also face individual criminal fines and the potential imprisonment of suspected directors in the infringing companies. In the EU Member States, individual sanctions are becoming much more frequent.
It is important for company executives and directors to be aware of American, European and other antitrust and competition regulations to avoid significant legal risk. The experts of the Worth Street Group have extensive experience advising and guiding clients on these matters.
Just as technology allows a successful development of cross border business, it can also be used for criminal purposes: to steal financial information, intellectual property and highly sensitive data, all of which affects financial security, identity and privacy.
Once again, prevention is the key issue to mitigate vulnerability and avoid undesired risks. The Worth Street Group offers solutions concerning companies' cyber security. For that reason, we advise our clients on how to implement a safe, vigilant and solid cyber model, appropriate to detect threats. We also guide clients through preparatory training for cyber infiltrations, so that whenever an incident takes place the appropriate responses are taken swiftly.
Worth Street Group is looking for motivated lawyers all over the world, who are willing to participate in projects regarding Governance, Risk Management and Compliance. Since we collaborate with international organizations, governments, research institutes and corporations we are able to offer you job opportunities:

"How are you?"
"Long time, how have you been?"
"What's up?"
What's common between these sentences is the ugly truth that neither the question nor the answer is ever genuine.
But hey, isn't she always smiling?
Don't let that fool you. Look into her eyes; she might be breaking inside.
Before we experience this gem of a video, let's get a few facts straight so that we're on the same page.
1. Depression is a complicated matter.
2. In India, not many people understand it correctly, let alone recognize and help a loved one going through the pain.
3. A depressed person is not throwing a tantrum because he/she's entitled or spoilt or a brat. It's called a panic attack. You may Google it.
4. Most people who commit suicide do so because of an underlying mental disorder. A depressed person is not a loser because thoughts of ending life cross their minds – these suicidal thoughts are a symptom of the medical disorder called Depression.
Depression can alter the biology of the brain causing suicidal thoughts and feelings that life is not worth living. These feelings and thoughts will pass with successful treatment of depression, and suicide can be prevented by treating the underlying condition.
5. A depressed person generally doesn't open up easily because it's easier to put up a fake smile than to explain why you're not happy. (which even they've no clue about)
You may ask, "Why should I care? No one I know is suffering from depression". And all I can say is, "Are you sure?" Have you genuinely asked someone how they are doing?
Probably not.
What does 'Dobara Poocho' really mean? And how does it matter?
#DobaraPoocho is an initiative by The Live Love Laugh Foundation, an organization founded by Deepika Padukone. "Dobara Poocho" was born out of this very need to look at someone again, to observe that someone closely again, to be aware of his or her nuances again, to hold the person close again, to ask again….
Deepika's own battle with depression is a perfect example of how genuinely asking "How are you"? helps
While launching this campaign Deepika broke down while narrating an incident from her past, "Two years back, my family had come to see me. They were about to leave and I was all alone in my bedroom, curled up. My mother walked in and asked if everything was okay, I said yes. She asked again if it was work or something else that was bothering me, I said no. She asked me so many times that I felt myself choking and I broke into tears."
What is depression like? It's like drowning, except you see everyone around you breathing. Watch the heart touching video.
