|As Security Incidents Rise at Education Facilities Nationwide, Multiple K-12 Institutions Choose Fortinet to Protect Against Cyber Attacks
|Posted: Thu Aug 27, 2015 02:34:56 PM
Fortinet Enables Central Catholic High School, Merced County HSD, Hillsborough County & Cypress-Fairbanks School Districts to Leap Forward with New Learning-based Technologies, Without Compromising Security or Network Performance
SUNNYVALE, Calif. August 27, 2015 Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT) - the global leader in high-performance cybersecurity solutions, announced today that a number of K-12 school districts and educational institutions across the country are entrusting Fortinet and its partners with the security of their students, teachers and faculty as well as their ability to take leaps forward with new technologies to enrich learning. Working with Fortinet, school districts in Hillsborough County, Florida; Merced County high school district in California; Cypress-Fairbanks ISD in Texas; as well as Central Catholic High School in Pennsylvania, are now able to launch successful technologies and tools to expand the learning environment, while protecting important student and faculty data, and monitoring online activity via multiple devices to block actions that could be harmful to students or lead to a security compromise.
Fortinets End-to-End Network Security Platform Uniquely Addresses the Toughest Challenges in Education
Fortinets security platform is ideally suited for educational environments, which are increasingly finding themselves the targets of cyber criminals. According to a recent Ponemon Institute report, as many as 15% of all recorded security breaches have occurred at an education institution, and the education industry has the second highest per capita data breach cost of all industries.
Fortinets flexible and extensive product portfolio enables customers to deploy an array of security solutions that meet their specific needs whether in large or small, wired or wireless environments. The companys flagship FortiGate appliances integrate a broad array of security and networking functions designed to protect data, applications, and users from network-and content-level security threats. These functions include firewall, intrusion prevention, anti-malware, application control, virtual private network, web-based malware prevention, and anti-spam. Fortinets custom FortiASIC processors and FortiGuard portfolio of integrated subscription-based security services provide customers the lowest total cost of ownership with the highest levels of performance and security. Using Fortinet solutions, educators globally can support BYOD, guard against an array of malware and viruses, and completely control application usage all from a single platform.
The task of keeping a business network secure can be a daunting one, said Bryan Wood, vice president of education at Fortinet. Add to it the complexities schools face in protecting students of all ages, as well as teachers and faculty in a world that is exposed to more and more cyber threats, and network security is no longer an option, its a necessity. We are very proud to be protecting a number of schools and school districts across the country, enabling them to focus on the real objective at hand providing students with the best learning environments possible and a safer environment for uninterrupted learning.
Educators Nationwide Take New Measures to Protect Against Cyber Threats
As network traffic increases and schools worldwide become more reliant on technology for a robust learning experience, schools and districts must replace or expand their security infrastructure and maximize web-based malware prevention, in addition to guarding against increasingly sophisticated external attacks. Many educators have reevaluated their security strategies and chosen Fortinet to upgrade their networks to enterprise-grade solutions.
Fortinet Web-Based Malware Prevention Stops Threats and Malicious Traffic for Merced Union High School District and Hillsborough County School District:
When leaders at Merced Union High School District in California wanted to onboard 10,000 Google Chromebooks for their 10,000 students and 1,000 faculty and staff, they began by thinking about what the ideal learning environment would look like. They modeled their design on what they saw on college campuses, looking to give students freedom to explore and use web-based resources in a secure environment. Yet, when the district began adding Chromebooks to the network, their existing firewall and web-based malware prevention were unable to meet the increased demands. So their IT team, along with partner CDW, evaluated six different security providers on four criteria: cost, consolidation, ease of management, and scalability. They selected Fortinet because it could easily sustain the number of required concurrent sessions while also providing robust content filtering and granular reporting. Fortinet also scaled with the districts projected bandwidth growth for the next four years. In the end, Fortinet provided additional security features and redundancy, and saved the district more than $30,000 a year in subscription costs.
Hillsborough County Public School district in Florida is the 8th largest school district?in the U.S. with roughly 200,000 students attending more than 200 school locations for their elementary, middle and high school education. Like many other public school districts, Hillsborough has relatively limited IT resources and tight budget constraints. As a result, when the Phantom iBoss web-based malware prevention solution the district was using to protect against viruses and threats came up for renewal the countys IT department solicited competitive bids in hopes of expanding their capabilities. Not only did Fortinet win the tender by meeting the countys web-based malware prevention requirements at the best price, it also delivered a network security platform that is helping Hillsborough meet new requirements over time and proactively comply with CIPA and FERPA regulations.
FortiGate Network Security Platform with FortiAP Access Points Enables Cypress-Fairbanks ISD to Manage Wired and Wireless LAN Security for Thousands of Students without Adding Additional Point Security Products:
Cypress-Fairbanks independent school district (ISD) in Texas wanted to build a network that would support a BYOD culture for 113,000 students in 87 schools. Due to the scale of this comprehensive technology upgrade, the district knew it would have to adopt an enterprise-level security solution. More than 100 people over six months were involved in the long-term planning phase for the comprehensive network upgrade. Cypress-Fairbanks wanted to both support the initial volume of devices to be deployed, while scaling the network for increasing demands through 2020. Working with partner M&S Technologies, the district sent out an RFP for best-in-breed solutions that focused on capacity, reliability, ubiquity, security, redundancy, resiliency, and mobility. They chose Fortinet as it provided one system to manage the entire network and maximum processing power to avoid traffic bottlenecks with students logging in and out all day. Today, given the upgrades they made, the Cypress-Fairbanks network can support 500,000 simultaneous sessions while ensuring the network and its users are protected from cyber threats.
Fortinets Robust Unified Network Security Platform and Security Management Provides Central Catholic High School Control Over Its Network as well as Cost and Time Savings:
Central Catholic High School in Pittsburgh, Pa. has been educating young men since 1927. While students and teachers at the school are committed to the cause of advancing knowledge, their previous network was letting them down. Malware, virus attacks, botnets and mismanaged legitimate traffic slowed the network to a crawl. Working with Network Access, Central Catholics technology partner, the school chose Fortinets end-to-end security platform featuring firewall protection, as well as analysis and reporting. With Fortinet successfully blocking potential threats and watching the schools network traffic, Central Catholic has far greater visibility into problems that may arise and has had no major security issues since implementation. Fortinet has helped the school IT department to reduce time spent on network management by 90%, while also eliminating three separate appliances that the Fortinet platform can manage on its own, saving Central Catholic nearly $10,000 per year in support costs. Students, staff and faculty can now access data flawlessly without the worry of security threats.
The goal of educators across the country is to keep students safe and prepare them to be successful in school and career, said Wood. Both of these are at risk if our school and district networks cannot support the demands of a digital learning environment while protecting our students and their personal data. Fortinet features enterprise level security to help educators balance content and collaboration, content filtering and threat management, as well as meet federal and state compliance requirements all from a single platform.

Valentine Calendar
In early January, some of my fellow stamping friends were making lovely creative calendars. I wanted to make one with my stamping club, but our first class isn't until February 1st. By now, they are more interested in Valentine's cards and projects.
My husband, who is very supportive of my hobby and craft but doesn't really 'get it,' suggested: Why don't you make a Valentine Calendar? Okay, I was dismissive at first, but then I thought about it and realized, "What a clever idea!"
The Valentine's Day Calendar was born, featuring a Sizzix mini album die and Stampin' Up's You Are Loved stamp set.
Stamp Set: You are Loved
Ink: Riding Hood Red
Extras: Heart Texture Plate, Sizzix Mini Album Die, Soft Suede Taffeta Ribbon, Brads
Cardstock: Riding Hood Red, Soft Suede/Tan, Decorative/Designer Paper
Die cut pieces:
1 Large Red (Back)
1 Medium Tan (Middle/Embossed)
1 Small Red (Top/Stamped)
1 Small Designer (Bottom Edge)
Make sure that the overall size does not exceed the size of the large red piece that will go on the back.
Take calendar pieces and punch holes in top corners.
Adhere the December calendar to the tan/middle section.
Use the holes previously punched as guides and punch holes through the tan section.
Add the rest of the calendar pages, ending with February on top. Clasp them in place by using the colored brads.
Attach the heart to this piece using pop up adhesives.
Finish the calendar by adding the large red piece to the back of the calendar.
Enlarge holes at the top using a hole punch.

It was at the SC Literary Convention in 2009, where I first met Nick Valentino. I was in attendance with authors from my small press, Shadow Archer Press and Fissure Magazine and co-writers from our Greenville writers' critique group, The Reedy River Rats.
I knew just a little about steampunk and I recognized Nick's connection with the genre by his goggles and became enthralled by the genre after our animated conversation. He took so much time to describe the genre, give us concrete examples and let me tell you, his excitement was contagious. He was the standout author at this very stodgy literary con and attendees hung on his words.
I've never read a YA novel and was surprised at how involved Valentino's steampunk novel, Thomas Riley,was in both plot and steampunk technology. The novel is a fast paced wild ride through varied landscapes and near scrapes for Thomas and Cynthia, who are a complimentary pair, with their odd little quirks and dedication to their mission. I was constantly surprised by the well thought out weaponry and alchemy touches, all the little details that make a story rich and memorable. The interplay between the two characters proved fun and lively and in addition, a third imprisoned character of the princess (I won't say how and ruin the plot) makes for a complexity which challenges the hero and heroine both from within and without.
Nick makes a rather confusing and off beat world fun and creative and I learned a lot about the odd technical aspects of steampunk weapons, visual devices, and airships from Thomas Riley.
Quite an interesting twist in the steampunk genre.
Nick and his story are actually two of the most pivotal aspects which inspired me to become involved in the steampunk community over the past few years. I produced a special steampunk issue of Fissure magazine, led a panel of authors at the Upstate Steampunk Convention in Greenville, SC, had my article on the psychology of steampunk published in their hardcover academic journal of the presenations. I've also created, sold and taught steampunk art and attend monthly dining outs at steampunk meetings and cons. And best of all, Nick inspired me to write in the steampunk genre, with two short stories in circulation and my steampunk novel, Orchiderlium, almost completed.
It would be remiss if I didn't reprint this brief review I wrote shortly after I read Thomas Riley, my first steampunk book, ever, as well as my first YA. .In the intervening years, Nick has been relentlessly traveling to market his book and we have not as of yet crossed paths, but one day we will and I shall have to offer him my profuse thanks for his exuberant, excited and educated conversation with us which led, the Fissure folk, to investigate this intriguing world where I have met many many good friends, enjoyed immensely exciting discussions and wore some of the most deliciously fun gear and costumes I could ever imagine.

I met Nick at Gen Gon Indy 2010 and had almost the same experience. I knew very little of steampunk but his enthusiasm and energy for the genre was contagious. Thomas Riley was not my first steampunk novel, but it was the first one that I did indeed recognized the genre. A week before Gen Con Indy 2011 I finished the first draft of my own steampunk novel "The West Wind" and feel I owe Nick a heartfelt thank you for putting me on this path.
Wow! You too? That's great - especially about you writing a novel. I'm almost finished with mine but have been working on it much longer, but then I was working on two others at the same time and finished one in January of this year(not streampunk tho'). You might want to let Nick know. He was so grateful about this blog post that he commented on his own blog. A writer always feels even more fulfilled to know that they have inspired someone else to try it. I now I'm thrilled that five or six people who worked or contributed to my small press went on the start their own small presses and/or wrote novels or comic books. Writers get so little feedback on their work and often feel isolated and working in a vacuum. Such emails and letters, especially when specifics like you finishing your novel in less than a year) mean a great deal.
I "friended" Nick and sent him a message - does that qualify me for stalker status yet?
Seriously though - Nick, your enthusiasm is contagious. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Now onto the re-writes!

Solution Preview
Answer 1:
In the financial world there are many decisions which the finance manager has to take on short term and long term projects of the organization. Every dollar invested in the organization has a cost attached to it and therefore it is very important to analyze every project which the firm has to maximize the return on the investment and this analysis is referred to as capital budgeting. Following are some of the financial decision-making techniques utilized in capital budgeting:
Net Present Value Analysis (NPV) : The net present value analysis shows the difference between the present value of all cash inflows and cash outflows and to ascertain whether the net amount is positive or negative. Since the cost of capital is used to compute the present value this analysis also shows whether the project will be able to yield the minimum return equal to cost of capital.
Strength: One of the biggest advantages is that this method measures whether the firm's value will increase / decrease with the undertaking of the project
Weaknesses: One of the most important elements is cost of capital. Estimating true cost of capital is a big challenge and therefore the NPV computed may be wrong.
Payback Period1: Payback period is computed to determine how many years will the project require for return of the initial investment. In case there are constant inflows and there is only one outflow at the beginning of the project, the payback period will be (Cost of the Project / Annual cash Flows). In case the inflows are not equal each year, excel formulas or hit and trial methods are used to compute payback period.
Strength: This is easy to compute and also provide some idea about the risk involved in the project.
Weaknesses: This technique ignores any benefits that occur after the payback period and, therefore, does not measure ...
Solution Summary
The expert explains the use of at least two financial decision-making techniques utilized in capital budgeting. One approach to arriving at the cost of capital as it relates to the optimal capital structure of a corporation is determined.

I was part of a team of students and staff from across the Media Lab that designed an installation for display at SXSW 2012. The theme of our installation was "Making Connections", designed to give SXSW attendees some playful and creative ways to contribute data about themselves and see how they connected with others who had visited. One form this experience took was a visualization of a globe on which a user could see their connections to the home countries of their Facebook friends. With the help of a Kinect, a user could use free gesture to manipulate and interact with the globe.
For this installation, I was responsible for the sound design, which provided ambient sound in the space as well as giving feedback to the user when he or she interacted with the globe, both through changing tonality with the user's quality of movement (for example how slowly or quickly they were turning the globe) and through triggering sounds associated with certain countries or regions on which a user might stop the globe.

5 Crore Refreshment for Gazab ka Prem On Monday
This is really sensational business from least expected movie of recent lineups. Saanwariya boy is on cloud nine with 2nd success of the year and biggest HIT of his just 2 years old career. Movie has dropped just 27% on Monday with 5 Crore in hand (though screenings were more than Friday at many places). Now Ajab Gazab Stands at 26 Crore in 4 days (included paid previews also, Thanks to claustrophobic for pointing out this figure). Budget of Ajab prem ki Gazab kahani is moderate 25 Crore[not really 50 crore as asked by David] which further enhance its chances to be top profitable venture of 2009.
Jail drops further on Monday and all set to incurred heavy losses.

Thanks for the reference Yakuza. Appreciate it 🙂
Ple tell me total box office collection of london dreams is it hit o what
keep up the good work….
but i am afraid this forum has become a salman khan fan site…..
they can't look beyond his films( which are going down the hole in last 3 yrs)…well i don't dare say anything on him else every one jump with @@@@@@
but what has surprised me with APGK is that it's overseas collection have not been made public even when we are heading for a wednesday, for LD they had made it public on Monday….
And Yakuza have u checked out LD after all the fans have been bombarding u with the enquiry, your 200 bucks might help it to cross the line 🙂 i personally felt all the actors were let down by Vipul Shah, they gave their best and followed his vision (after all he has been successful in the recent past) but alas it was not be… this man ruined the film all u can take away after the film is the performance of lead actors and that saves anybody from thrashing the film but at the same time i didn't find myself recomending the movie to anyone….
As far as APGK is concerned don't have money to watch back to back movies, saving for 2012 nd AVTAR . Enough hindi flicks for the year….
next year prince looks promising and let's see Veer promo and decide…the story is a take off from TARABULBA…which is good russian folk tale with loads of emotions between son , brother and father with lot of war. now have to see how Anil sharma adapts it with mr shaktiman of Gadar fame!!!!
well at last uve made a good comment Disapper. but he delivered big in WANTED so hiz lean days r past him.
yeah AVTAR looks good my friends wanna go watch it.
helloo all salman fans,
i love salman n also caring abt his movies
bt if salman will not do gr8 promotion for veer thn veer k baarey main kuch nahi kah saktey.
salman will have to promote the veer.frm sun. before release to mon. after release.
i hate this media.y media says salman -bad boy right now??????
prity salman khan is megastar..media go to hell.
I'm surprised apkgk is doing so well.The film did not click for me at all but it was Ranbir's performance that stood out and salvaged the film.Anyways can you please post updates on tum mile please?Like predictions,hype,budget etc.Very much looking forward to that…thanks yakuza 🙂
what's going on ur ppl
we r audience we know that every year films hits n flops so way apkgk hit r problum ld good film but not so good salman khan doing best butbig film big expection if film r not so good n not complete r expection we reject it this is r choice few month earlyer wanted big hit but dil bole haripa not we didn't blam way apkgk ld big film big expection apkgk small film small expection know small film good business it good u all r salman fan but every year lots f films release we watch lots of films we all r happy so what's wrong if ld flop n apkgk hit we except truth.
sorry if hurt anyone we r watching films we didn't know this film hit o flop.
all the best for salman new film VEER next year i hope this film is complete all fans expections n big blockbuster every body knows this is a big film……
I have a somewhat different news for salman fans. In the recently concludede lok sabha polly and by polls, salman campaigned for 9 candidates and all of those won their seats. How far salman's factor helped them, I dont know, but this certainly shows his popularity. Infact, the uncontrollable crowd I saw on TV in his road shows was amazing. I have not seen such a crowd even for big b.
I am not a big salman fan, but this thing proves the popular perception that salman is a hero of masses. His fan following is intact whether his films work or not on box office.
100% rite Rajesh. i being in England know how big he iz. People love SRK and Salman here da most. wat hurts me iz dat he promotes candidates fr elections so rigorously, but doesnt do it for hiz films. like some1 said LD failing will prove beneficial for Salman in da many years to come. sounds strange but it will hold him in good stead.
Salman khan is biggest superstar of india..evan rajbabbar won the election yday by 85488 votes..salman khan road show on 4nov did the trick.

Dying in Hampton
What is this?
Crying so many tears.
Bodies are steady falling .
Young lives gone to soon .
Like a never ending cycle
Our happy spirit has broken us.
We will no longer take it anymore .
Taken back our freedom to live .
This dangerous society .
The Madness its got to end.
We are humanbeings .
Who matter .
We will no live in fear.
The Hell with this senseless voilence .
This hate we need to pull together as a community .
Loving our mind opening are heart.
The is my memorial to the love ones who have lost.
Love and Peace.

Henri Fantin Latour
"La Toilette 1904"
Grenoble 1836 – 1904 Buré
Oil on canvas
73 x 60 cm.
Signed title/verso
Provenance: Private collection, Belgium; auct. Eric Pillon Encheres Versailles, no. 9, 13 December 2015; collection Lifschitz, Paris.
Literature: Madame Fantin Latour, Catalogue d 'l oeuvre complet de Fantin Latour, Paris, 1911, no. 2121, p. 224.
Ignace Henri Jean Fantin-Latour (1836-1904) started drawing at an early age, taught by his father, then, from 1850 through 1854 studied drawing at the school of Lecoq de Boisbaudran. After a short period at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, he worked temporarily at Courbet's studio. From 1853 onwards he regularly copied works by the old masters in the Louvre, as well as paintings by Delacroix in the Musée du Luxembourg, and for 12 years lived mainly by copying.
He met Degas, Manet and Berthe Morisot in the Louvre between 1855 and 1858. In 1858, Henri Fantin-Latour became friends with Whistler and the two artists, along with Alphonse Legros, formed the Société des Trois. In 1859, Whistler invited him to visit London, where through Alphonse Legros and the amateur engraver Edwin Edwards he became associated with the artistic milieu of the English capital, and in 1864 exhibited at the Royal Academy. In London he was especially popular for his flower pieces, which he began to paint in the same year.
At the end of his life, he painted La Toilette (1904). In the middle we see a beautiful white nude, surrounding by three figures. It is like he is painting his dreams on canvas. The color and the mysterious mood that Fantin-Latour manages to give in these subjects, make this painting one of the most representative of this artist.

"I have a question, Is it true a female can cum out of her butt? This guy told me a female can do this but I have never heard of this before, I had to ask the expert about this one."

Hi Dub Bee!
The anus can create its own lubrication, just not typically as much as a vagina. It's not actually semen or ejaculate, it's mucous. Membranes create lubrication for bowel movements and often when the stomach is empty. It's even possible to "ejaculate" this mucous, similar to genital ejaculation. Men and women can do this, by the way.
Long story short, yes, lol

Iran's petrochemical production in the first six months of the current fiscal year increased by 5% compared to the same period of last year, as the country continues to shore up exports by securing new customers in East Asia.
"Petrochemical output reached 27 million tons between March 21 and Sept. 22," Ali Mohammad Bosaqzadeh, deputy for production control at the National Petrochemical Company, was quoted as saying by NIPNA on Saturday.
"Sales in domestic markets increased by 7% in terms of volume and 12% in terms of value," he added.
The official noted that exports in the six-month period rose by 12% in tonnage and 8% in value compared with the corresponding period of a year ago. He did not provide details.
Having passed the 50-million-ton mark in the previous fiscal, Iran aims to ramp up production to 60 million tons by March 2018, as a string of petrochemical plant launches should increase nominal output capacity to 72 million tons annually.
The lion's share of petrochemical exports is bound for India, China and South Korea, and the country is "gaining more ground in Africa and Europe", Bosaqzadeh said.
"Plans are in place to raise the export of engineered polymers with higher value added."
Iran earned $4.6 billion in petrochemical export revenues in the five months of March 21-Aug. 22. It earned $9.55 billion in revenues from petrochemical exports last year, official data show.
Hossein Rasoulzadeh, an official at the Persian Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company, said the country's largest holding of petrochemical firms has signed three agreements to export a total of 100,000 tons per year to East Asia.
"PGPIC has struck separate deals to sell various grades of polyethylene to buyers in China, South Korea and Taiwan," he said.
Japan's Itochu Corporation signed a deal in May to purchase 11,000 tons of polyethylene per month from PGPIC.
The lifting of international sanctions breathed new life into Iran's energy and petrochemical trade. An increasing number of new markets, including Argentina, Peru and New Zealand, have recently begun taking in petrochemical consignments from Iran, officials say.
Iran holds some of the world's largest crude oil and natural gas reserves, but its petrochemical industry is underdeveloped in comparison.
Tehran says its new petrochemical ventures require investments worth over $70 billion that should mostly come from foreign sources, such as France's Total and Royal Dutch Shell, that are reportedly close to sealing billions of dollars worth of licensing and construction deals in the Iranian petrochemical market.
Petrochemical is Iran's most important industry after oil and gas. NPC hopes to lift nominal output capacity to 120 million tons per annum by 2022, the end of Iran's Sixth Five-Year Economic Development Plan.

Being well into Autumn and Halloween just around the corner I realised I best start reviewing the Lush products for this season. So up first is Autumn Leaf bath bomb!
This bath bomb really appealed to me when I saw it in the store, it's not like the standard spooky halloween products that are released. You can already see the colours that run through it before it has even touched the water. It really is a beautiful ballistic.
Sharing its scent with Grass Shower Gel and bubble bar this bath bomb holds a very fresh, outdoorsy, earthy scent with a combination of neroli, sandalwood and maple sap it really is calming.
Lush have really upped their game recently and the stories that their products tell are just wonderful. The story of Autumn Leaf is the colour change in leaves between Summer and Autumn.
Autumn Leaf is a flow fizzer and because of its shape it floats on the water keeping its shape for longer. It spills out greens, yellow, warm orange and red creating an almost ombre foam.
Over all I think this is one of the best Autumn bath bombs they have released. I will for sure be grabbing a few of these before the end of the season and I hope it makes another appearance.
Quantitative Ingredients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Fragrance, Bergamot Oil, Neroli Oil, Sandalwood Oil, Austro-Caledonicum, Maple Sap, Cream Of Tartar, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lauryl Betaine, Spring Green Lustre (Blue 1 Lake, Yellow 10), Red 4.
Price: £3.75

Prepare your GDPR
The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) or in french RGPD (Règlement Général sur la Protection des Données ) is a new European regulation, which will be applicable on May 25, 2018.
The European Data Protection Reform has three objectives:
- Strengthen the rights of individuals, including the creation of a right to the portability of personal data and provisions specific to minors;
- Empower the actors dealing with the data (controllers and subcontractors);
- Increase regulatory awareness through enhanced cooperation between data protection authorities, which may in particular adopt joint decisions when data processing is transnational and sanctions strengthened.
The adopted text is a European regulation, which means that, unlike a directive, it is directly applicable throughout the Union without the need for transposition in the different Member States.
Many formalities with the French CNIL will disappear. In return, the responsibility of the organizations and enterprises will be strengthened. They will have to ensure optimal data protection at all times and be able to demonstrate it by documenting their compliance.
To go from the preliminary formalities to a logic of responsibility
While the obligations of organizations and companies under the Data Protection Act are largely based on prior formalities (declaration, authorization), the European Data Protection Regulation is based on a logic of accountability and transparency.
This notion of accountability is reflected in particular by:
- the taking into account of data protection from the design of a service or product and by default;
- the establishment of an organization, measures and internal tools guaranteeing optimal protection for the people whose data are processed.
In practice, organizations and businesses will:
- carry out an inventory of the processing of personal data implemented;
- evaluate their practices and set up procedures (notification of data breaches, management of complaints and complaints, etc.);
- identify the risks associated with the treatment operations and take the necessary measures to prevent them;
- maintain documentation ensuring the traceability of measurements.
New compliance tools
From an operational point of view, compliance with the European regulation is based on different tools:
- the processing register and the internal documentation;
- privacy impact studies (PIAs) for risk treatments;
- the notification of personal data breaches. The implementation of these tools implies, beforehand, the designation of the Data Protection Officer (DPO), the true "conductor" of data protection within the organization. Beyond this, the logic of accountability must translate into a change in internal culture and mobilize internal or external skills (IT, service providers, legal services, business services).
Datexis GDPR Action Plan
The company Datexis offers to assist you in setting up an action plan, in 6 steps:
To manage the governance of your structure's personal data, you will need a true conductor who will carry out an information, advisory and internal control mission: the data protection officer. Until 2018, if it is not already the case, you can already designate a "CNIL's correspondent", who will give you a lead in advance and allow you to organize the actions to take.
To concretely measure the impact of the European data protection regulation that you are dealing with, start with a precise inventory of your personal data processing. The development of a register of treatments allows you to take stock.
Based on your register, identify the actions to take to comply with current and future obligations. Prioritize these actions with regard to the risks your treatment poses to the rights and freedoms of the people concerned.
If you have identified the processing of personal data that may give rise to high risks for the rights and freedoms of the data subjects, you will need to conduct a data protection impact assessment (PIA) for each of these treatments.
To ensure a high level of personal data protection at all times, put in place internal procedures that guarantee
To prove your compliance with the rules, you must create and consolidate the necessary documentation. Actions and documents completed at each stage must be reviewed and updated regularly to ensure continuous data protection.

Champion Scouters
Over 50 adults from across the district came together to celebrate our amazing adult volunteers at our Champion Scouters awards evening at the end of January. Fifteen adults had been nominated as local Champion Scouters. These are adults who have made a significant impact in Harborough District over the last two years. We also celebrated with three Scout Association Commendations for Good Service and three Awards for Merit. These are National awards for very good and exceptional service over the last 5 and 12 years.
Ed Stafford, Scouting Ambassador joined us with an inspirational talk about his Amazon adventure before presenting the awards.
The citations for our Champion Scouters follow. There are separate posts for Commendations and Awards of Merit.
Erin Billington – Gang Show 2016 Director
Nominated by – Milly Pinnock
Erin did a fabulous job directing the 2016 Gang Show. It was a great production in the end, and that was mostly down to her putting in an absolutely massive amount of work and energy. I know it involved a whole lot of blood, sweat and tears, but wanted her to know that her input made a huge difference to my kids; and that Kezia in particular is now a much more confident child because of her.
Will Panter – Assistant Explorer Leader Mad Hatters ESU
Nominated by – Tina Taylor
Despite being involved in scouting in Harborough District for many years, Will rarely gets recognised for his achievements. Partly this is because he is happy to let others take the lime light but it is also a reflection on what a great scouter he is. Where others like to shout about their achievements, Will just gets on with delivering amazing scouting experiences.
I first got to know Will as a member of both the local Network and the Leicester Scout and Guide First Aid Team, LeFAT, and was impressed by his willingness to get involved and undertake whatever jobs were required. As a first aider he has been part of the Charnwood team and also undertook the responsibility for first aid on our 2009 Scout trip to Kandersteg. It was during this trip that plans were hatched to set up a new District Explorer Unit and Will seemed like a perfect candidate for a leader role. Paul Allenby said that, "Will would never go into uniform!" but somehow the magic of Switzerland and time just 'helping out' at the Hatters seemed to persuade him.
Will has been an integral part of the Mad Hatters team from day one. It would take too long to list all the amazing experiences he has facilitated for the Explorers but suffice to say whether it is a greenfield camp in the snow in January, Bronze DofE practice expeditions in April, 24 hours of daylight on Summer camp in Iceland, organising Unit nights in October or selling burgers at Late Night shopping, Will is truly is a Scouter for all seasons. The Mad Hatters Explorers all appreciate the commitment he has shown to the unit over the years.
Gina Spencer – Assistant Beaver Leader 3rd Market Harborough
Nominated by – Paul Allenby
Gina works tirelessly for 3rds. She does much of the preparation for both Beaver Sections, keeps all the records and is a much loved and highly regarded Beaver Leader by all who know her. She also helps with the record keeping and badges for Hurst Scouts, and has been very involved in running the Santa Sleigh for the past few years. She is an all round absolute star!
Aaron Winterton – Beaver Leader 1st Foxton
Nominated by – Neil Heptonstall
A couple of years ago our Beaver leader team were retiring and Aaron stepped up and, within weeks, had successfully 'taken over' the colony with some new assistant leaders. She really loves the Beaver ethos and the colony and leader team thrive with her enthusiasm. A sleepover at the Space Centre and riding our Aerial runway did not daunt her enthusiasm! She continues to inspire both children and adults and the colony thrives to this day.
Iain Dilley – Exec Member (Fundraising) 1st Welland Valley
Nominated by – Gary Chisholm
Iain is one of those parents, who dread the thought of becoming a leader and dealing with all those children! (but he always expressed an admiration of those who could). Knowing Iain was a bit of a dealer, to which my extensive knowledge is limited to Lovejoy and Delboy, I asked if Iain could support the group in its fundraising efforts. Iain jumped at the chance and became our fundraising team! Under his guidance we have made many successful bids for equipment, made some fantastic contacts and also he manages the running of our two larger fundraising events, AYUPMEDUCK and Santa's Sleigh. He leads on these projects with a positive and organised manner and succeeded in fundraising well over £5000 for our group already! When I look at all our equipment , I think we would not have this, if not for Iain.
Jo Osborne – Scout Leader 1st Bowdens WeScouts
Nominated by – Helen McGeachy
Jo's kindness and dedication to making sure everyone achieves the same in their scouting journey regardless of what disability they may have, is unwavering. There has never been a moment when she has given up on my son Callum, or lost faith in his ability to achieve the same as any other scout in his group – even when we have had some tough times. Scouting has turned a child for which at one point we had little faith in being able to function in normal peer settings, into a teenager who has purpose and pride in himself. Jo over the last 4 years has had a very large part in shaping the young man we have today.
Rob Pyle – Scout Leader 1st Market Harborough
Nominated by – Gary Duffin
Rob took over the scout section about 2 years ago after the last leader had to leave. He had little experience of scouting but has really made it happen for the scouts and is now seeing an increase of numbers., which is a testament to the exciting and engaging programme.
Catherine Hedgecott – Beaver Leader 1st Welland Valley
Nominated by – Gary Chisholm
Running a section is tough. Running a new section is tougher, so imagine setting up a new Colony in a new group!
Catherine has been a cornerstone of the group and very rapidly demonstrated a thoroughness and attention to detail we should all try and aspire to. She leads other adults and Young Leaders on the beavers team with a well organised and inclusive hand. Catherine was the first of the Welland Valley joiners to complete her Wood Badge training, and also leads a full section, with a growing waiting list, a sure sign of a quality programme.
The vast majority of Beavers move up having completed their Bronze Chief Scout Award, and are keen for more as they join the Pack.
Ian Humphrey – Cub Leader 1st Great Glenn
Nominated by – Phil Reed
On 18th December Ian bade farewell to Great Glen Cub section as Akela – a day that will be written in the history of the Group, because quite simply 1st Great Glen runs through Ian like a stick of rock.
Ian joined as a Cub at age 8 and in the early seventies he became Assistant Cub Leader working with Pauline and Bob Wells for many years. Ian was a constant with the Cub section while other Leaders came and went, then in the 90s Ian moved up to be Assistant Leader with the Scout section.
Just over 10 years ago, with a bit of 'arm twisting', Ian stepped up to become Akela and take our Group towards 100 years.
Ian has always been there for the group, supporting our sections, driving the minibus, tidying our HQ, putting up the District marquee. One job where he is the ultimate champion is with camp toilets – always there with his marigolds and a loo brush.
Ian has helped shape the lives of hundreds of young people over his 40+ years as a Leader. Sometimes perhaps a little frightened by that booming voice, Cubs and Scouts certainly know when Ian was around and they had done something wrong or mischievous! Equally if they wanted some help or support, they knew who they could turn to.
It is impossible to sum up the effort that Ian has put in over so many years, but quite simply if Scouting was a paid role, Ian would be a millionaire. Ian's work and dedication is priceless, and Great Glen Scout Group would not be in the strong position it is today without his leadership, commitment and support.
Ian is staying around to support the Group until he moves to Lincolnshire. From ALL past and present at Great Glen, around our District and County, thank you Ian and we salute you.
Ivan O'Dell – Assistant Cub Leader 1st Fleckney
Nominated by – Cathy Howells
Ivan has been with 1st Fleckney Cubs since 2012. He has consistently and reliably supported the pack and group since then, providing some amazing sessions in particular on astronomy, martial arts and air activities. He has a great relationship with Cubs, maintaining discipline but ensuring a fun atmosphere. I would love to see him rewarded for his commitment and for being such an amazing Leader.
Laura Grist – Assistant Explorer Leader Inclined ESU
Nominated by – Toby Taylor
I nominate Laura in recognition of her vital role in offering a fantastic programme for Explorer Scouts in the Harborough District. Since responding to a request for new volunteers, Laura has thrown herself into her role and quickly become a key member of both the Inclined and District teams. Along with Chris Pillar, she has enabled members of Inclined ESU to experience a full and varied scouting programme.
Although not having any previous scouting experience, Laura has proved herself to be a natural Explorer Leader. She maybe more softly spoken than others but her calm demeanour, willingness to try new things and determination has meant she is great with our oldest youth members.
This was particularly evident during the District trip to Croatia in 2017. A first summer camp with 27 explorers, average temperatures of 36oC and a variety of physically demanding activities was certainly not an experience for the faint hearted. As part of the leadership team, Laura wind surfed, snorkelled, kayaked, biked and never seemed to tire. Whether it was marshalling the kitchen at 7am or removing sea urchin spines from feet, she was always ready to get involved.
The Explorers are lucky to have leaders like Laura and I look forward to seeing where she takes Inclined in 2018.
Anna Harbidge – Beaver Leader 1st Kibworth
Nominated by – Simon Riley
Anna Harbidge has been a key leader in driving the beaver colonies at Kibworth including creation of a new colony. Working with other leaders she is very energetic (and planned) in delivering a quality and fun programme for the Beavers. Her personality makes parents want to help on the parent rota and making the start of the scouting journey, both for the youngster and parent smooth. She will be missed by the Group. However, we thank her for all she has contributed.
David Sawford – Group Scout Leader 1st Bowdens
Nominated by – Hannah Dove and Chris Cunningham
Whatever I write here will in no way describe how awesome he is! As GSL Dave has not just influenced my life he has also inspired every scout and me, to reach for the top. Dave has a great rapport with the leaders. He encourages and supports them through the leadership journey. His commitment to the group is exemplary. Recently Dave has been doing a great job in planning and fundraising for our new hut ensuring the continuing success of the group and ensuring young people at Bowdens can continue to enjoy the benefits of scouting. We will be very sad to see Dave go as our GSL, he will be a hard act to follow.
David Sawford is the epitome of an 'unsung hero' and absolutely nails each element of the criteria that are required for this award! I have been involved with this Scout group for only just under a year, in that time I appear to have only just scratched the surface on understanding exactly what efforts and sacrifices David makes to ensure that we all keep the groups ambitions, focus and momentum going. He has fulfilled this role so well for 5 years now, with profound gusto and dedication… Champio'nay champio'nay!
Tina Taylor – Explorer Leader Mad Hatters ESU
Nominated by – Debbie Billington
Nights away are a big part of scouting. In Harborough District during 2016 and 2017, young members and adults completed 6,401 nights away. Everyone who leads a nights away event for young people needs a Nights Away Permit. The permit holder is ultimately responsible for the camp and ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all participants. We have 40 permit holders in the district and 25 of them used their permit at least once over the last two years.
Counting up the Nights Away Notification forms, those 25 led a total of 99 camps. So these are adult volunteers who not only give their time each week to run section meetings but their weekends too for camps. This is a really significant commitment especially when you add in the hours of preparation, getting kit returned, thoroughly dried and made ready for the next adventure.
Out of the 99 nights away events, Tina Taylor, our Nights Away Champion, led an amazing 13 events, including one international to Croatia, giving 760 nights away for explorers from across the district. This is an amazing commitment from a truly Champion Scouter.
Sam Gibbs – Explorer Leader Dragon ESU
Nominated by – Debbie Billington
Adventurous activities are a big part of scouting. To lead or supervise an adventurous activity for young people you must hold the right permit.
The permit holder is ultimately responsible for the activity especially ensuring the safety of all participants. We have 21 permit holders in the district, with 18 Hillwalking permits and one each of Archery, Climbing & Abseiling, Rafting, Dingy and Power Boating.
Our Adventurous Activity Champion Scouter is the permit holder who led the most activity days for youth members over the last two years. Sam Gibbs supervised on an amazing 10 days hillwalking which has meant explorers and network members were able to complete their DofE expeditions including some at Gold level. That is a tremendous chunk of all the activity days within Harborough District. Thank you Sam, Champion Scouter.
Harborough – a winning team! Empowered and Proud

About Lil' Sophie
This is a blog about Lil' Sophia Ann Bagwill. She was born full term @ 41 weeks on 1/20/2010 weighing 5lbs 4oz. The pregnancy was easy and there were no complications to alert us of any issues. She was delivered emergency cesarean, as her umbilical cord was wrapped several times around her legs causing her heart rate to drop. Immediately after birth a heart murmur was detected, but no one was alarmed by this, as it's very common. Even though she was small, she was considered healthy enough to go home with us. The following day upon discharge began our journey with Lil' Sophie as we attended our 1st Cardiac appointment to learn about her congenital heart defect. She has pulmonary valve stenosis which can/was corrected with surgery. However, we've learned that this was the least of her medical problems.
The 1st 3 months of life is when one by one, Lil' Sophie's issues started to present themselves. It has become clear now, that something happened to her early on in utero. But no one seems to know what. The Drs, Surgeons, and Specialists are on a hunt for some type of genetic syndrome to explain what's going on inside Sophie's little body. But it's really like finding a needle in a haystack. They have not been able to associate her symptoms/condition with ANY other case so far, and she continues to be a mystery. Below is a running list of medical conditions that have effected our little girl. Maybe someday – a connection of these issues with a cause will give us the explanation the doctors have been looking for.
UPDATE: On May 22, 2011 Lil' Sophie had a liver transplant. Things are going well so far and have remedied a few of the conditions below.
Congenital Absence of the Portal Vein -Liver Transplant gave her a new Portal Vein!
Abnormal Liver heading towards liver failure -New liver from a precious donor!
Portal Hypertension – alleviated by liver transplant
Esophageal Varices – alleviated by liver transplant
Chronic Ascites – alleviated by liver transplant
Pulmonary Valve Stenosis with small distal branch arteries – Replaced Valve @ 10months, will need to redo once she's older
Absent Gallbladder and enlarged Spleen
Failure to Thrive – Broviac Line with TPN gave her nutrients until liver transplant
Lack of Absorption of Essential Vitamins/Minerals (borderline Rickets)
Lil' Sophie's been seen by 3 Geneticists. She's tested negative for Alagille, Noonan's, and Costello syndrome. Dr's have also ruled out Biliary Atresia, PFIC, and a growing list of other conditions.
Her experiences so far have included: 16+ Echocardiograms, 6+ Cardiac Caths, 1 Open Heart Surgery, 1 Liver Transplant, 5 bile duct surgeries, 4 bile duct stent change procedures, 2 MRI's, 1 Head Ultrasound, 5 Abdominal Ultrasounds, 3 Liver Biopsies, 3 Broviac Line Surgeries, 3 Endoscopies, plus too many xrays to count and lab blood draws continuously.
She's a miracle and each day that goes by continues to remind us of that. Her journey is ongoing and we welcome you to check back for updates on this roller coaster ride. Thank you in advance for all your prayers and encouragement. They help us get through the hard days.

Wow what a brave little girl she is!! U all must be so proud and happy that ur little girl has been so strong! Ur story has a similarity to mine! My daughter who's 15 weeks old is also a mystery to the doctors she has them scratching there heads! She has been diagnosed with mild pulmonary valve stenosis, hyperinsulinisum, hypopatuitaryisum, Colombona of one eye they thought she had costellos but genetics doc said no! She's had other tests done all came back normal, she also has breathing problems she's on and off the oxygen at times and she picks up illness very easily and takes it out of her! But despite all what she's going through she still managers to smile and amaze us everyday! We haven't took her home yet she been in hospital since day 1!! She's getting there and it's great too see ur beautiful little girl doing well despite all her troubles she's been through! take care Ang x

Please know you are all in my prayers!
Much love,

20 years ago I was almost 8…not a care in the world…life as a kid was great…5 dollas in my pocket feelin rich like gates…hit eagles market so fast… its like id skate…put my money on the counter…I didn't even wait… and said… gimme all your johnny appleseeds and alexander the grapes……1990
Man those were the days weren't they? You see for those who don't know, ferrara pan was the king of the boxed candies circa 1990.
For every kid in my hood there was a specific flavor, some preferred the luxuriously sour lemon heads, others liked the sweet and tangy johnny appletreats (one of my personal favs), some would see how many of the cinnamon flavored "Red hots" they could eat at one time, but for every palate there was a delightfully decadent flavor waiting to be discovered. You see as kids, Brotha Men and I, were somewhat of philanthropists if you will. We sampled candies as if they were fine wine. Explaining the pro's and cons of each variety and giving our suggestions to other neighborhood kids. We had it down to a science. We were the only kids I knew that could go into the corner store with $2.50 and come out with a balanced meal including dessert. And it was while we enjoyed these very same meals, that we would look to the older gods with the dookie ropes and pagers and say to each other "that will be us one day". Square biz. Ahhhh…the good ol' days.

WordPress.com users with expired domains seem to be the flavor du jour in the Community forums today. So, this would be a good opportunity to remind users that if you've registered a domain name, regardless of whether through WordPress.com or not, take a moment and go look up your domain's expiration date and add it to your calendar, digital or otherwise. If you registered your domain through WordPress.com, you can find this information in the "My Purchases" section of your Dashboard and if your domain is registered elsewhere, you can find it with your Domain Registrar or by performing a WHOIS search on your domain. Don't depend solely on a renewal reminder notice or email from your domain registrar to keep your domain name up to date and in your possession.
Also, even if you've set your domain to automatically renew, check that your chosen payment method is current and that the renewal takes place on time. Don't just assume it will.
If you don't, you may find that recovering an expired domain could get very costly.

Russell Brand and Question Time is bound to be a recipe for controversy. The comedian joined London Mayor Boris Johnson and Daily Mail columnist Melanie Phillips on the political discussion show last night. The result was, of course, TV gold.
When Russell Brand talks, you stop and take notice. Whether he's voicing his opinions on drug use, or taking over the segment on MSNBC's Morning Joe show, he has the skills to command a room. Dressed in a red shirt, black blazer and skinny jeans, he definitely livened up the telly box on last night's QT.
Kicking off the political discussion with the topic of bankers, Russell Brand made an orgy joke (natch), and continued to call upon sexy women to run the financial services. Oh, Russell: NICE.
Once banking was out of the way, the group moved on to drugs. Ah, a topic Russell is well versed with, what with having been a self-confessed heroin addict. Russell made some valid points about the causes of addiction and the treatment of addicts, based on his personal experiences.
Russell said: "I don't think drug laws are working because people take drugs all the time.
"People will take drugs because of social, psychological and emotional reason.
"For me it's not about the drug laws, it's about treating people with addiction issues in a compassionate and empathetic way.
"As a recovering drug addict myself, when I was using drugs I didn't care if drugs were illegal.
"If I need drugs because I'm in pain inside, I'm taking drugs and I know this to be true of across drug addicts all over our country.
"If you criminalise them and marginalise them, you place an industry in the hands of criminals and you make it difficult and shaming for them to get treatment.
"That is the wrong way to handle the situation. We have to reach out to people compassionately - then we have a chance of achieving a solution."
Moving on to the serious subject of Syrian rebels, Russell suggested that wars are like Xbox games and we should have more games about administering aid.
The final question covered the housing market, and whether home-owning is something that is beyond the new generation. Russell dodged the question completely (probably because he has loads of houses) and opted to chat about punishing the bankers instead.
Some people are accusing the show of booking celebs on Question Time to boost ratings, but we reckon Russell's probably one of the most opinionated and interesting out there. What do you think? Which celeb would you like to see on the show? Tell us in the comment box below or tweet us @CosmopolitanUK.

CB Richard Ellis (CBG) Reports Best Revenue Growth Since 2007
Earnings: Q2 profits of $.17 vs. $.09 consensus and a net loss of $.02 in Q2 last year. Profits jumped back into positive territory relative to the same quarter last year.
Revenue: Increased 23% Year-over-Year at $1.20 Billion vs. $1.10 Billion consensus, beating analyst sales estimates and displaying their strongest revenue growth since 2007.
Brett White, CEO of CB Richard Ellis stated, "In the U.S., we saw a very strong pick up in property sales and leasing, reflecting recovering market conditions. Europe produced robust growth, fueled by the recovery of the property sales market in the larger economies, such as the U.K., Germany and France. Asia Pacific also sustained the strong top-line growth that first became evident there late last year."
Comment: Shares of CB Richard Ellis (CBG) are trading up 3.76% following the company's earnings release after-the-bell, trading at $15.99 per share, compared to today's closing price of $15.41 per share.
As you can see above, CB Richard Ellis (CBG) shares are trading above both its 50-day and 200-day moving price averages. This month, the stock's technical downtrend was broken to the upside, a good sign for investors looking to participate on the long side of CBG shares.
White went on to add, "We are mindful of concerns about the pace of economic recovery, but the rebound in commercial real estate activity is progressing."
With the CBG global investment management business yielding 44% revenue growth Year-over-Year, it is evident the company is diversifying its focus to other countries and also reaping a higher growth rate in doing so. CBG stock has held support twice this month at the 200-day moving price average. As the stock trades up after-hours, it appears a solid base of support could bring more confident investors to the table after they catch wind of CBG's stellar second quarter report.

As temperatures drop and you begin your preparation for the colder months ahead, your pet should be part of your considerations. The American Veterinary Medical Association's website has an informative guide on cold weather care for your pets. The guide stresses that many owners don't understand Flea and Tick prevention protocols should not be ceased during the winter months.
Contrary to popular belief, pests such as fleas and ticks, though more active during the warmer seasons, still live and feed during the winter. Research shows that even in temperatures as low as 35 degrees Fahrenheit, both fleas and ticks can actively seek out blood meals. Unfortunately, both of these pests carry diseases and parasites that can seriously harm your pet.
Even mosquitoes, which transmit the deadly heartworm disease, can survive in near-freezing temperatures, but unlike fleas and ticks, they aren't usually active until temperatures begin to reach 50.
The Companion Animal Parasite Council recommends owners keep their pets on parasite-prevention medication year-round, with the goal to prevent the contraction of internal parasites transmitted by these common pests. Even if temperatures outside are low enough to hinder pest activity, places that remain warm inside, such as your home, can accommodate pests and parasites.
Consult your veterinarian to determine the best form of pest prevention treatment. There are a wide variety of options including oral medications and topical treatments, all of which vary in efficacy and application. These preventative treatments should be administered year round, despite temperatures outside. While it may cost a little more than only utilizing treatments during the warmer months, it will be considerably less, when compared to paying for your pet's recovery, should it contract a disease.

I chatted with musician George Woods about his life and his music career
Q: Talk about your childhood, where you grew up, etc
I was born in Poughkeepsie, New York. I had my hand in soccer and baseball growing up, but I was pretty terrible at both. I was the kid who locked himself in the band room during Spanish class and played guitar.
Q: When did you know you wanted to be a musician?
Some of my earliest memories include singing at the ocean. My dad would play guitar as I fell asleep in my crib. I learned music the same way people learn English – I speak it.
Q: What is your favorite song of YOURS and why?
Oh Jesus. I like different songs for different reasons. One of my favorites songs is one of the Bonus Tracks on iTunes. It's a track called "Winter." It's one of those songwriter songwritery songs. It's the most cathartic song I've written. Lyrically, musically..it hits everything on the head. It's about the experience of my wife and I going through a miscarriage.
Q: Do you remember what the first song you wrote was?
Oh my god..it was SO bad dude. I wrote a song with this little trio I had in High School. I don't remember the name of it..
It was just BAD.
It was just BAD ::laughs:: I was just going through the motions of putting my fingers here, then putting them there, and then breaking out in song.
There was another song called "Smooth Baby." It went "Smooth baby, smooth baby, yeah!" ::Both laugh::
Q: What is the craziest thing you've done in your life?
Jesus dude. These questions are hard! ::laughs:: I've been pretty safe my whole life I think
Wait, there was this one time in college. I went to a college in a farming town. I was having a religious identity crisis. I was practicing Wicca and meditation. Once, I went and meditated nude in the trail, but didn't realize it was THAT close to everyone walking to class.
Q: How long was the process of writing and releasing your new album "I Am?"
Some of the songs are revamps of older songs, and some are newer. Some are two or three years old, some were written the day they were recorded. When I tracked out the album, we cranked about seven of them out in six days.
Q: Are you excited about your shows here in Maryland this weekend?
I'm really excited. These shows are much more intimate than a club setting. It's like you're sitting around your living room and being able to connect with each person individually.
George performs TWICE in Maryland this weekend:
Saturday at Teavolve Cafe in Baltimore, and
Sunday at Metropolitan Lounge in Annapolis!

Why London is good for you
- By Richard Peck
Last year estate agent Knight Frank and CitiBank produced a study called The Wealth Report, in which London was given the number one position in the top 10 cities in the world. The study then went on to predict that only London and New York would maintain their prominence by 2022.
According to the report, the city will hold its position because it is the place where high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) like to work and play. As a financial and legal capital, offering the best services money can buy, it attracts many to come here and enjoy the metropolis.
London has much to show us about the unique qualities of living in a city, demonstrating why urban life is so compelling. But it is not necessarily the city in this report, the capital of capital, that tells the whole story.
There are many other ways London expresses the beneficial characteristics of cities. The search for this genius, however, leads us to places that are often far from the main streets and tourist trails and starts with the people themselves. We frequently assume that a city is constructed from bricks and mortar, but it is the people who make a metropolis and it is the life between buildings that tells you the most about the vitality of a city.
Would it surprise you to know that Londoners are among the most polite people? A 2011 study conducted by the Young Foundation looked at levels of civility in three different places: Newham, one of the poorest communities in east London; Cambourne, Cambridgeshire, and a selection of villages in Wiltshire. While it is often thought that incivility is linked to disadvantage and poverty, the report found that the city forced people to overcome their differences and nurture accommodation, shared ownership and politeness. Being close together makes us behave better.
This was also made clear in Tino Seghal's These Associations, the Turner Prize-nominated show at Tate Modern. The work showed the importance of making connections and how it is these moments of contact that make up part of the genius of the city.
As well as being civil, cities are surprisingly creative and London is one of the most creative cities in the world. While some neighbourhoods, such as Shoreditch's Tech City, are being boosted by government initiatives, much creativity can be found in the overlooked spaces of the city. Projects such as Folly for a Flyover in Hackney, a temporary cinema under the motorway, put together by the architecture collective Assemble, was a brilliant example of making something out of neglected space.
Cities are also the places where smart ideas come together, combine and take root. For example, the temporary timber construction of The Shed arts space outside the National Theatre on the South Bank, by architect Haworth Tompkins, allows for experiment, improvisation and boldness.
In contrast, the proliferation of food trucks in some of the most unlikely places around the city has changed the way people eat, as seen in Berwick Street in Soho or Whitecross Street Market, with the rise of gourmet destinations such as Pitt Cue, Crêperie Nicolas and the Meat Wagon. These are all signs of innovation that could only occur in the city.
However, big cities are naturally innovative by themselves. Leading British-born physicist Geoffrey West from the Santa Fe Institute has measured the dynamic nature of cities. He discovered that as they grew the metropolis became more dynamic. As a result every measure — from wages, income, domestic product, bank deposits, as well as rates of invention, measured by new patents and employment in creative sectors — all scale superlinearly.
The reasons for this are because as cities grow they become more complex. Yet even within this complexity we must have places where people can come together. Often it feels as if one cannot go anywhere in the city without either having to buy a coffee or being moved on by private security. There are few places left where one can just "be". One of the achievements of the Occupy London protests in 2011 was to highlight the proliferation of privatised public space in the city. Yet there are places — the Southbank Centre or around the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion in Kensington Gardens — that are valuable public spaces. They remind us that people are meant to be together, not just out shopping.
The city needs these open, public spaces. Following the end of the Occupy London protest at St Paul's, the artistic director of the Southbank Centre, Jude Kelly, announced that the protesters could use the centre's free wi-fi. One might also look to the work of architects such as muf, which has transformed corners of the East End. In particular, its Children in the City projects in Dalston show how creating places in the city for children can transform lives and build communities.
One can find small moments of rebellion that give explosive hope for the future of the city. On May 1 the guerrilla gardening movement is holding an International Sunflower Guerrilla Gardening Day which will attempt to transform ordinary streets into gardens. The Cuts Café in Southwark, a venue that ran two weeks of events, talks and campaigns in October last year, was an exciting, radical alternative space for debate and exchange of ideas. Meanwhile, cycle activism such as Critical Mass, a mass ride that aims to reclaim the streets, (which meets on the last Friday of every month), as well the London Cycling Campaign, remind us that the shared spaces of the city also include roads.
This sense of shared ownership of the city is a powerful force for good. It's absence was one of the reasons given for the behaviour of looters during the August 2011 riots. But it can be nurtured in unexpected ways. In a survey published last week into health and wellbeing in the city it was proven that public transport has a powerful role to play. The report from the School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine showed how free travel on the bus for the old and the young has positive effects, improving "social lives and independence", bettered their "confidence" and helped them feel "more like a Londoner".
But the city does not just mean the centre. It can also mean outside your front door. Here also we can find the genius of the city. Living in the inner city rather than the suburbs can make your fitter and greener. Often this is the result of simple things. Living on top of each other cuts our heating bills. We are more likely to walk than pop into the car at any moment.
Walkability has become one of the key ways of thinking about improving the city. It has recently been proved that if a child walks or bikes to school every morning their level of concentration increases until lunchtime. An ordinary street that reduces its traffic flow becomes a more sociable place, with people more likely to make friends on the opposite site of the road. Making a neighbourhood more pleasant to wander around can even increase house prices by up to £30,000. It might even be one of the most efficient ways to combat the burgeoning obesity issue.
Yet, while these ideas are being effected in many of the richest boroughs, by local residents who see the value of good lighting, wide pavements and tree-lined streets, it appears that this is not a priority in the poorer districts. It is a shame that there has been no real government or City Hall commitment to walkability.
Perhaps the most important lesson we must learn when thinking about why London can be good for you is that the genius of the city only makes sense when we see it is a place of opportunity for everyone.

Every 51 minutes, unconventional person dies in an alcohol-related traffic collision. In 2012 alone, more than 10,000 people were killed in drunk driving accidents, accounting for nearly one-third of all fatalities.
You can find more drunk driving statistics on the Mothers adjoining Drunk Driving (MADD) website here.
Drunk Driving Prevention In America
In the slope of these staggering numbers, what are governmental agencies and private campaigns work to educate American drivers just about drunk driving? This article will manage to pay for a survey of the most widely-publicized anti-impaired driving campaigns, and an analysis of their real-world effects.
Buzzed Driving
In the last few years, weve seen numerous ad campaigns, initiated both by state-funded organizations and private concentration groups, advocating for widespread acceptance of something called buzzed driving. appropriately what is it?
Buzzed driving is a categorically simple concept. After ingestion, alcohol is absorbed hurriedly by the bloodstream and common tests, bearing in mind a breathalyzer, can put it on the amount of alcohol in your blood reliably and quickly. Driving next a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.08 or superior is illegal in all state. At that concentration, drivers around invariably experience sedation and slower confession times. In further words, its helpfully risky to steer similar to that much alcohol in your system.
Buzzed driving is suitably having a BAC degrade than 0.08% but cutting edge than 0.00%.
One Beer Wont regulate The artifice I Drive
And significant studies have found that less is no better. One tally from UC San Diego that evaluated crash reports found that buzzed drivers, those with a BAC of 0.01 percent are 46 percent more likely to be officially and solely to blame than self-denying drivers. The fact is that driving even slightly buzzed is dangerous, far more dangerous than driving sober.
The real hardship is that American affect and public policy tend to see upon 0.08% as a definitive, meaningful boundary. under that parentage and youre relatively safe, above it youre dangerous. But the researchers at UC San Diego found that the chances of causing a wreck increases steadily and smoothly from BAC 0.01 to 0.24 percent, meaning that there is no short transition when comparing a buzzed driver to a drunk driver. It turns out that 0.08% is not a definitive boundary, and that no amount of alcohol is safe in the unmodified analysis.
The explanation from UC San Diego was published in the British medical journal insult Prevention. You can approach a summary here.
The Worlds Stance on Drunk Driving
Much of the world has even more rigorous limits.
China has a genuine limit of 0.02%
Japan uses 0.03%
Frances real limit is 0.05%
Germanys is 0.05%
Sweden uses 0.02%
Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bangladesh, and Saudi Arabia all have zero-tolerance policies; any BAC above 0.00% and youll lose your license, be penalized behind harsh fines, and your car can be impounded.
In fact, North America (including Canada and Mexico) is one of the worlds abandoned regions to use 0.08% BAC as its authenticated limit.
Has The move around Worked?
The Ad Council, Americas largest non-profit producer of public utility announcements, spearheaded the Buzzed Driving preparedness campaign. on their website, they relation that their ads reached approximately one half of all American adults beyond the age of 21. And that there was a significant bump in the proportion of men age 21 35 who called themselves extremely concerned virtually the situation of drunk driving, from 22 percent in 2005 to 27 percent in 2011.
And even though public awareness is extremely important, Americas legislators have still to respond to our additional promise of buzzed driving. In fact, considering most own up governments dispatch to zero tolerance, they either limit this prohibition to drivers under 21 or target suitably that they wont tolerate any driver next a BAC over 0.08%.
Only period will tell whether or not state governments follow through upon the current research. encourage in 2013, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended lowering Americas real limit to 0.05%, but no divulge has nevertheless to tackle this stricter limit.
Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Another recognition has been to contextualize drunk driving, to define it in terms of substitute tragic condition. As the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states: drunk driving is often a symptom of a larger problem: alcohol exploit and abuse. The underlying premise to this stir up opinion is that some drunk drivers law vehicles though impaired because (in appropriately many words) they cant encourage it. And if you acquire substance dependent persons treatment, you might consent some impaired drivers off the road in the thesame gesture.
Also telling is that the NHTSA refers to impaired driving, rather than drunk driving. In origin bearing in mind recent developments in addiction studies, the NHTSA has adopted the scientific convention that finds more checking account than contrast amid alcohol abuse and drug addiction in general.
This line of reasoning seems bolstered by statistical evidence. In a examination released by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, researchers found that almost half of all drivers who were killed in crashes and tested certain for drugs after that had alcohol in their system. In many cases, then, the misery is mixed. And the answer might be, too.
