Environmental pollution due to the accumulation of heavy metals in soil and their subsequent transfer to crops is a global concern that arises from improper application of industrial wastewaters. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of soil Cd on its accumulation rate in the various organs of four common crops in Iran (namely, wheat, spinach, cucumber, and carrot). The experiment was performed in a factorial design with random blocks including 3 treatments with 0 (control), 50, and 100 mg/kg.soil in 4 replicates. Soil was collected from the farm belonging to the Research Institute for Plant and Seed Breeding (Karaj) and filtered twice using 2-mm sieves before Cadmium Nitrate (Cd(NO3)2) was added and completely mixed. Crops were planted in plastic pots 40 cm in diameter and 60 cm in height. The water demand was determined using the Jenman Mantite method. At the end of the growing season, samples were taken from various organs of the crops and their Cd concentrations were measured. The results revealed a direct relationship between Cd accumulation and Cd concentration in the root region. All the treatments other than the control exhibited Cd concentrations higher than the standard limits for human consumption. Cadmium accumulation in the different organs of the crops exhibited the following orders: Root: Cucumber<Carrot<wheat<Spinach; Stem and Leaf: Carrot<Cucumber<wheat<Spinach; Fruit: wheat<Cucumber<Carrot<Spinach; and Fruit peel: wheat<Spinach<Carrot<Cucumber.

Transcript of broadcast call on 'Mississippi Miracle'
MySA.com's transcript of the 'Mississippi Miracle'
'The most sensational, incredible ending in all of Division III' and then some
Here is the transcript of the call by Jonathan Wiener, a Trinity sophomore, and Justin Thompson, a former Trinity player, of Trinity's game winning touchdown involving 15 laterals on Saturday at Millsaps in Mississipi:
Wiener: The ball is on the 39-yard line. Trinity obviously cannot kick a field goal.
Thompson: (Laughing) No.
Wiener: They're going to have to throw the ball as far as they can, or perhaps .....
Thompson: Start lateraling.
Wiener: ..... come up with something else. But there's two seconds to go. The Tigers need a touchdown. The ball is on the (Trinity) 39-yard line. They have to score on this play, or the game is over. (Quarterback Blake) Barmore's got three wide receivers to his left. And two to the right. He takes the snap.
Wiener: There's only three men rushing for Millsaps. Barmore throws it over the middle to (Shawn) Thompson, complete to Thompson. Thompson, looking for a block. He laterals it to (Riley) Curry, and Curry, laterals it again, and it's caught again, and Tomlin, now on the lateral.
Wiener: Another lateral to Thompson. And he laterals it back to (Brandon) Maddux on the other side. Maddux, looking for a block, he fakes, he fakes the lateral to Curry. Now he laterals it to Curry. Curry's at the (Trinity) 49-yard line. He's dancing around. He throws it back now to Maddux, who throws it across the field to Barmore.
Wiener: Barmore, looking to run, he's got a block. He's got a convoy. He's going to throw it to Thompson. Thompson, at the (Millsaps) 30-yard line, he throws it back to Curry at the (Millsaps) 35. They're running out of spaces.
Wiener: Curry fakes. He's going to lateral it to (Michael) Tomlin.
Thompson: Go! Go!
Wiener: Tomlin's got a chance to go. Now he laterals it. It goes to Maddux. Maddux, at the 30-yard line, and now, it's a lateral. And Curry. Curry's still going! Curry's still going!
Thompson: No way, no way.
Wiener: Curry's going into the end zone! He's going to score!
Thompson: It's a touchdown! It's a touchdown!
Wiener: Curry scores! The game is over! Curry scores! Curry scores! Curry scores on the lateral! Curry scores! The Tigers are all over him! I can't believe it! Curry scores and the Tigers win! The Tigers win!
Thompson: Oh, my God.
Wiener: The Tigers win! They keep lateraling it! And they score! From the (Trinity) 39-yard line. The Tigers win the football game. The game is over. The Tigers, on the lateral. Oh, my goodness! It is over. The team is on the field celebrating. The Millsaps Majors are crushed, understandably so. This football game is over. The game is over.
Wiener: It might be the most sensational, incredible ending in all of Division III! Oh, my gosh! I do not believe it!. That was one of the most miraculous plays in all of college football!

Spambots and KGB and…Allegations
Okay, this one is really scary.
You've doubtlessly been following all the allegations of sexual harassment in high places. Doubtless, too, you looked on with sick horror as it appeared that the accused really were a bunch of creepy guys who probably did, really and truly, do all the stuff they were said to have done.
But…then, it got kinda weird, as people like George Takei and Al Franken got accused too. In other words, liberals whom the Right have hated for years and years.
Okay, maybe Takei and Franken were guilty. We don't know. We're as clueless as you are. But…a couple of odd things have started to stir these already muddy waters…like, for instance, that at least one of Franken's accusers seems to have some serious baggage of her own.
And now…now…it has gotten worse…way worse. And here's where the story gets genuinely scary.
In a fascinating article on DailyKos, Stone & Infowars knew before, Putinbots all over it: how to deal with the horrific possibility, Karen Wehrstein notes a couple of really scary things. First, it seems that at least some of the Right's favorite flame-throwers (like the merry folks of InfoWars) had some kind of prior knowledge of events. That is, they somehow knew that, for example, Franken was going to be accused before his accuser said anything.
Second, some of the stuff happening right now on Twitter and Facebook promoting the story that Franken et al are guilty of sexual transgressions, seems a little …odd. To wit, the individuals posting seem to be saying the same thing at pretty much the same time.
In other words, they look a bit like bots.
Is Ms. Wehrstein right? Well, we don't know. But it is something that someone, somewhere ought to be looking into, because if it is true, it means that we are undergoing a yet another sophisticated disinformation campaign—complete with trolls and bots and hackers, oh my.
And who would have the tools and manpower to do that? Well, it could be some organization here in America…
Or somebody far away…
Moscow, for instance.

The End of Summer Event on August 18, hosted by the District of Columbia Housing Authority and the Benning Terrace Resident Council, was a splashing success where everyone got a chance to slide on the waterslides and grab a free ice cream cone. Once the younger ones were finished, they could report to the community center to receive a book bag filled with school supplies, thanks to Third Pillar Charities. DCHA is grateful to its sponsors for the event, which includes The Keys to Canaan; First Rock Baptist Church; Metropolitan Police Department; D.C.

In May I had joined a dozen fellow istockers for a minilypse (a 3 day event organized by a site member that organized shoots, locations and models. Lots of fun.) I shot some behind the scenes video of the action while I was there. Enjoy seeing what goes on behind the scenes on an istock weekend shoot.

One of the best things about being a younger rental house is that we've been able to grow with a lot of our clients. Director Josh Greenbaum was one of Stray Angel's very fist clients back when the business was still being run out of our CEO's Hollywood apartment. This week, Josh's SXSW Award Winning documentary, 'The Short Game', gets its initial select city theatrical release.
Here's what our CEO, Suren M. Seron, had to say when we asked him how he met Josh:
"I first met two time Emmy Award winning filmmaker Josh Greenbaum in October of 2007. He emailed me randomly responding to an ad I had posted on Craig's List wanting to rent one of my Panasonic HVX-200 cameras and a P2 Store. He was working on a web series called "Border Patrol" at the time after winning the Coca-Cola Refreshing Filmmakers Award. "Border Patrol" was picked up by and subsequently aired on Comedy Central.
Since those days, Josh has went on to do quite a few more web, television and feature film projects, most recently, "The Short Game" – a feature documentary we are very proud to have rented producer and fellow rental client Chris Leggett 14 Canon C300 Cameras to film. We are very proud to continue our rental relationship with both Chris and Josh which is now going on six years strong!"
Watch the trailer for "The Short Game" and the interview we did with Chris Leggett, one of the film's producers:
Needless to say, we're very excited to have been apart of "The Short Game". As you can see in the trailers above, you don't even have to like golf to enjoy the film. There's literally something for everyone in this movie.
Chris sent over these fun facts in case you're still on the fence about seeing the film:
- The Short Game won the Audience Award at SXSW, Maui and The Hamptons film festivals
- Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are executive producers… which means we're kind of a big deal… Or at least they think we are 🙂
- If you know anything about golf… The film features cameos from LEGENDS Jack Nicklaus, Annika Sorenstam, Gary Player (maybe you'll pick up a hint or two)
- If you know nothing about golf… The film feature cute, hilarious, and crazy talented kids who will keep you smiling and laughing the whole time!
Locations and showtimes for "The Short Game" can be found here: https://schedule.samuelgoldwynfilms.com/films/the+short+game/
Congrats to Josh Greenbaum, Chris Leggett, and the rest of the team! We wish them much success and look forward working with them on future projects.

This question already has an answer here:
We can hash a file or data using multihash or SHA-256, but can we retrieve the original data or file from the hash?
Are there any methods to retrieve the original file or data from a hash of it without using IPFS?
Or is there any encryption method which encrypts a 5 MB file and outputs a hash-like content of 32 bytes so that we can retrieve the original file from that 32 byte content?

TSU, UH marchers to make music and history at Super Bowl
Banding together for halftime
The smile on University of Houston band director David Bertman's face on Wednesday night said it all.
Bertman was giddy as he watched his Spirit of Houston Cougar Marching Band making some smooth moves with Texas Southern University's Ocean of Soul Marching Band.
"We have different styles," he said, "but we're all about the same things."
In a first for both schools, the bands will share the stage during the halftime show of Super Bowl XXXVIII on Sunday.
The show will also feature singers Janet Jackson, P. Diddy, Kid Rock and Nelly.
"I'm so thrilled about that," Bertman said during the bands' second practice together on the UH campus. "I think it's what it's all about."
MTV, which is producing the halftime show, chose the bands last fall. Gregory Choa, a supervising producer, said he and other MTV producers were inspired by the movie Drumline.
When they searched for appropriate marching bands to fit what they had in mind, they couldn't settle on one after both bands auditioned, Choa said.
"It became obvious in my research that the standout marching band programs were from these two schools," Choa said.
TSU senior Cassandra Crosby and UH senior Stephen Lowery, both 21, said the Super Bowl show is the chance of a lifetime.
"We've come together during practice and we're making new friends," Crosby said.
Another UH senior, Elaine Lebeuf, 22, said she's proud to be representing her university on such a grand stage.
"We're really excited to get to play with TSU, which has a totally different style," said Lebeuf, who plays the French horn.
As for the moves, she said she's gotten some help from TSU freshman Spencer Curry, 18, who marches alongside her.
"This is a great experience not only to get to do the Super Bowl, but to do it with our cousins who are right across the street from us," Curry said.
Richard Lee, TSU's band director, said the musicians have had enough time to practice the songs. He said this week's practices together were focused upon getting the choreography down.
"It's an awesome opportunity," Lee said.

We are continuing to have lovely fall weather! Again some sweet scents for me today =)
-CFTKR Denim in my 20W hot plate warmer in the first floor.
This is a laundry detergent scent as today is cleaning day so it has to smell clean upstairs (main bathroom, kids's bedrooms, laundry room). As expected this is super strong, it's wafting even up to my bedroom in the 2nd floor (where I melted TBG's Breathe Deeply since I have a cold).
-The Bathing Garden Toffee Candy Apple (2 cubes) in a tealight warmer in the kitchen. One of Shannon's bestsellers... A mix of (BBW type) Winter Candy Apple and chewy toffee. I like it better than I anticipated (not being a fan of WCA)... It's a red apple scent with toffee though the apple comes out more. Good strong scent-throw and longevity.
-Lasting Scent Candles Pink Sugar Cookie on my 24W hot plate in the living room. A super yummy pink sugar and cookie mix. Though naturally a softer scent I can smell it well and it's quite long-lasting.

Overruling the CRTC on VoIP Services
Ottawa to block CRTC on Internet phone regulation
From Wednesday's Globe and Mail
OTTAWA — The Harper government will announce Wednesday its intention to rewrite the CRTC's key ruling on Internet-based telephone services, a highly unusual move that could mark a big step toward a more open and consumer-friendly sector.Industry Minister Maxime Bernier will say in a speech in Toronto that the Conservative government will again block the CRTC's repeated efforts to regulate phone services that run over the Internet.
globeandmail.com: Ottawa to block CRTC on Internet phone regulation
Holy Cats! What are the implications of the Harper government overruling the CRTC? Likely it's a good thing, changing the rules of how digital voice services are treated, but the implications of the government getting involved in CRTC policy making are wide reaching. First VoIP, then the world? This first forray into the CRTC domain is positive, but what if the conservatives what to delve into something and change it for the worse? Does the CRTC have any recourse?
Mark, you probably know more of the answers - what do you think?

poetry thursday
liz lamoreux
Click here to read one of my favorite William Stafford poems called "You Reading This, Be Ready." And if you haven't already spent some time exploring this website, I hope you will take some time at some point to pour yourself a cup of tea and read some of Stafford's words.
After reading this poem several times today, these are the words I am drawn to write...
Pause and take a breath;
sit in the quiet for a moment.
Do you hear it?
Try again.
Does it sound like the cry of a warrior ready for battle?
The whisper of a lover's sweet words?
The chant of a goddess standing atop a mountain?
The giggle of a baby in her mother's arms?
What would happen if you let it out?
Let it live and dance and hum.
Let it roar and weep and laugh.
Loosen your clutching fingers, and
shed the layers of your fear,
dropping them like clothes onto the floor of your bedroom.
You will discover,
this is the song your soul has been singing for centuries.

("Proliferative Injection Therapy") involves injecting an irritant solution into the body, generally in the region of tendons or ligaments, for the purpose of strengthening weakened connective tissue and alleviating musculoskeletal pain. Prolotherapy, in combination with chiropractic manipulation and physical therapy, has been reported to alleviate chronic pain. Prolotherapy can be distinguished from sclerotherapy.
Sclerotherapy is the use of injections of caustics into the veins, in vascular surgery and dermatology, to remove varicose veins and other vascular irregularities. Prolotherapy is the use of injections in the treatment of connective tissue weakness and musculoskeletal pain. Prolotherapy is also called "proliferation therapy" and "regenerative injection therapy."
Effectively used for pain relief. Injection site swelling can occur.
Only practiced by medical professional (doctors and veterinarians).

Anencephaly is a condition in which a fetus forms with a partially
formed brain and spinal cord. A child with this condition is stillborn or dies
shortly after birth.
Anencephaly can be detected with prenatal tests, such as ultrasound
and amniocentesis. If a woman learns that she is pregnant with a fetus that has
anencephaly, termination of the pregnancy is usually offered.

Civil War
This is what we did: we crossed the river
under the shifting light. Everything else seemed
the same but we knew nothing would ever
be the same again. I turned to Kimble
and he smiled. What's next to do? Burn the land.
Destroy bits of ourselves that are not him.
Some nights, I fail to remember reasons
or else remember them as dead things, things
I could make an effort to understand just
in a grim way. With fingertips, I press
my brain but it is not understanding.
It is memory, an arterial
injunction determined lifetimes ago,
disconnected by natural erosion
from passion. However, it is easy,
then, or easier, to deploy. Duty
and practice give the professional touch.
If I get home, I might sleep a little
but for now, with the river behind us,
I am inhaling smoke. They say he's mad
and will last the winter. I cannot tell
what comes with spring. Renewal, even-handed,
draws from the young light without distinction.
You smile, Kimble, and note the wind has changed.
Early (Bloody) Incursions
We took the first city last night. I looked at
my hands missing a piece of comprehension
and said to Kimble: what now, Kimble, what
are we doing, these are our people, what now?
Already, the phone is ringing. New friends
want to show support. They sort of believe
what they are saying. I know I said no
going back. I know what I said. I knew
in my heart there would be no going back.
Maybe it was the boy, staring without
a father now. Am I his history?
Anyway, we go forward. That is clear.
They are sending virgins in white dresses
but first Oh God we must burn and destroy.
I denied the child and in different ways
said you were another person. Beneath
the caff light, I explained I was going
to Lima on an expedition. Back
whenever. How much money do you need
assuming I admit to this? How much
does it cost? In the time it takes to drink
one more black coffee, we shall resolve things.
Last night, a man shot at me. London's not
what it was. You could die in an instant
that is immeasurable. Stop your coughing.
Let me sort the coffee and then we leave
separately. A reconsideration
would be too much. Do not now speak of love.

The National Society of the Children of the American Revolution, founded in 1895, is the oldest patriotic organization for young people in the United States. Members gain invaluable leadership experience in conducting meetings, following parliamentary procedures and standard protocol, serving as delegates and speaking before groups at local, state and national conferences. The responsibility and privilege of selecting officers helps members gain an understanding of the democratic process.
Mission Statement:
"The National Society of the Children of the American Revolution trains good citizens, develops leaders and promotes love of the United States of America and its heritage among young people."
Organization and History:
How did C.A.R. begin? Harriett Lothrop, a prominent citizen and 19th century children's author of Concord, MA, presented the idea for a children's organization to the Daughters of the American Revolution Continental Congress in 1895; it was then chartered by the United States Congress. Organized "for the training of young people in true patriotism and love of country," C.A.R. has promoted this vision to hundreds of thousands of members. These boys and girls are the leaders of yesterday, today and tomorrow, now in a second century of keeping patriotism alive.
The objectives of this Society as stated in Article II of the National Bylaws are these:
- To acquire knowledge of American History.
- To preserve and restore places of historical importance associated with men and women who forwarded American Independence.
- To ascertain the deeds and honor the memories of the men, women, and children who rendered service to the cause of the American Revolution.
- To promote the celebration of patriotic anniversaries
- To honor and cherish the flag of the United States of America above every other flag.
- To love, uphold, and extend the principles of American liberty and patriotism
Any boy or girl under the age of twenty-one years is eligible for membership in the National Society of the American Revolution who is lineally descended from a man or woman who, with unfailing loyalty, rendered material aid to the cause of American Independence as a soldier, sailor, civil officer, or recognized patriot in one of the several Colonies or States, or of the United States, provided that the applicant is personally acceptable to the Society.
How to Join
Members join through a local society. That local society will provide assistance in filling out the C.A.R. application using documentation supplied by the applicant. You may look up our local societies at this link and contact them directly or contact to our Senior State President, Mrs. Rebecca Bottoms, and ask her to help getting the process started: firstname.lastname@example.com. If you want to get a head start guidance on how to fill out an application can be found on the National website at this link.

Honors RAPs
Honors Residential Academic Programs (RAP) are intentionally designed programs for honors students who want to live together and take honors courses together. A few Honors RAPs require a declared major (Isenberg School of Management and College of Engineering) and others are multidisciplinary, allowing any student interested in exploring the topic a bit more to join.
Students who join Honors RAPs can more easily work on projects and study with their classmates since they live nearby. Students in Honors RAPs also tend to have more lively discussions in their courses since they know their classmates so well. You will be living with others who have similar interests. The Residence hall staff (RAs and Peer Mentors) hold programs that connect students in the Honors RAP with their faculty and with the topics of their Honors RAPs. Research has shown that students in Honors RAPs often have a better academic GPA after their first semester, demonstrating the academic support that comes as a result of being a part of one of these programs.
Yes, you are required to enroll in the main honors course (and seminar if it is a component of your RAP) that is a part of your Honors RAP. If there are any concerns regarding registration of the main course for the honors RAP (i.e. AP credits, time conflict, etc.), please speak with an honors advisor during New Students Orientation.
Yes, you must complete your Housing Preference application and confirm that you want to join the Honors RAP that is indicated. If you sign up for an Honors RAP after completing the Housing Preference Application, you will need to reconfirm your enrollment in the Honors RAP.
You will sign up for your Honors RAP courses when you attend your New Student Orientation in June or July. If you can't attend a New Student Orientation session, an honors advisor will work closely with an advisor in your major to enroll you in your Honors RAP courses.
Honors RAPs are located in the two first-year buildings designated for Commonwealth Honors College students: Oak and Sycamore Hall, both located in the Honors Residential Community.
There are Honors RAPs associated with a specific college or major (i.e. BioTAP, Isenberg Honors RAPs, or Engineering Honors RAP) and Honors RAPs for students with any major. RAP-related courses can help you satisfy major, honors, and/or university requirements.
You will sign up for your RAP courses when you attend New Student Orientation. Please let your major and/or honors advisor know that you are in an Honors RAP and assess if and where the courses will count towards major, honors, and/or university requirements.
Although many spaces in first-year halls in the Commonwealth Honors College Residential Community (CHCRC) are designated for Honors RAP, the remaining spaces will be available for students who are not in Honors RAPs. Students interested in living in CHCRC who are not in an Honors RAP can submit the Housing Preference Application on SPIRE from early June through mid-July by:
• Listing the Commonwealth Honors Community as their first preference.
• Rank ordering at least three different areas of campus as their remaining choices.
An assignment in the Commonwealth Honors College Residential Community is not guaranteed. Students will be assigned based on their randomly generated priority number. Students can view their housing assignment and roommate information on SPIRE starting in early August.
Honors RAPs are course-related programs located within first-year honors buildings. All students are eligible for honors housing, even if they are not in an Honors RAP. There are a limited number of non RAP spaces in honors first-year buildings.
The Honors RAPs are designated to a particular building, so you must live in the building in which the program is designated.
You may meet someone who is in your Honors RAP in a variety of ways. When a student has signed up on the RAP sign up page (after being accepted and confirming their acceptance), then they may look at the list of students in their RAP who have decided to share their contact information. Some students choose to participate in the on-line roommate matching process that is offered by the Office of Residential Student Services. If you are in an Honors RAP, you will only be matched with others in your Honors RAP. If you don't indicate you want a particular roommate, then you will be randomly assigned one.
Students must live with a roommate who is in their Honors RAP. There are a designated number of rooms on the Honors RAP floors for the exact number of students in the Honors RAP.
Yes, honors students can join non-Honors RAPs offered by the university, they are located outside of the buildings designated for honors students. Some are restricted by major or college.

Allocating risk through innovation in a connected world
Richard Nohe, BT general counsel for the Americas, gives a call to action to his fellow GCs to embrace and proactively manage risk for their clients.
Dealing with technological risk
GENERAL COUNSEL FOR THE AMERICAS, BTE-mail Richard
There are opportunities and threats to every business as the world becomes increasingly connected. General counsel must embrace their roles as positive agents of change and help the legal landscape keep pace with these market dynamics, particularly around risk. This is especially true in areas of the business where the pace of evolution is rapidly accelerating, as in the field of information technology. It is inevitable that as businesses across the globe evolve, the role of the GC will also continue to evolve. This is because GCs occupy a unique position within the corporate structure from which to understand risk and thereby counsel the business to better manage it. Taking informed risks will deliver better returns and mitigate the chances of adverse consequences from black swan events, which can have a long-lasting effect.
Historically, lawyers have been trained to be conservative and protective of their client's interests. Their approach is akin to driving by looking through the rear-view mirror: they reactively apply the law to a set of facts that happened in the past and then zealously advocate on their client's behalf. Insufficient thought is given to how things could be different in the future and how to effect change. Corporate lawyers today must look both inside and outside the company and work to take a more proactive approach to risk management.
In this regard, GCs play pivotal roles as leaders; they need to step back and consider how the law may be used proactively, outside the heat of the battle. They can navigate the evolving legal landscape with an eye to how things may progress due to specific market developments and trends. Changes are happening in virtually every market and industry. The one I know best is the field of technology, so I will focus on some examples in that area.
Every board of directors must have this on its risk register. It is a complex area that is not centrally owned by any single function in a company. The CEO, CIO, CFO, CSO, and the GC each have a role to play. The CIO and the CSO are key and interact with peers across their professions, looking for ways to better manage systems and protect the perimeters, but they are looking primarily from a technical point of view rather than a legal or commercial one. The GC advises each of those involved, as well as the board, in managing the overall issue. GC engagement in a dialogue about cybersecurity risk from a legal and commercial contract point of view is beneficial to all.
How can GCs kick this off and what are some examples? There is no shortage of news about cyber breaches. They often come from hacktivists, organised crime, nation states, and insider threat. Regardless of the source of the attack, GCs can discuss among themselves issues such as what data protection and privacy laws are at issue given the different types of information that may be under attack. This can lead to a dialogue around whether it is reasonable to impose contractual obligations to comply with all applicable laws when laws are constantly changing and often in conflict. Is seeking to extract such mutual obligations from parties the core of the issue, or is it simply an attempt to seek insurance cover which may be better sought from a third party? In the event of an attack, does the legal community want to engage in supply-chain lawsuits, or is there a more productive way for legal talent to be used?
GCs can also engage in a dialogue around issues such as the SEC's reporting requirements for cyber incidents. These are fraught with legal considerations that can impact the potential for litigation and regulatory action. Discussing ways in which different industry segments may approach disclosure would add value and help the people who are directly involved steer a complex and evolving area.
Cloud computing
The marketplace is undergoing a fundamental shift from distributed computing, with applications sitting on the desktop at the edge of the network, to more centralised computing, with applications sitting in the 'cloud'; meaning essentially that they reside off-premises and are accessed remotely via a network. This technological development is transforming the way businesses operate.
In this environment, the supply chain deserves extra scrutiny from the legal team to consider issues such as in which jurisdiction the data physically resides, and whether it will be transferred across jurisdictional boundaries thereby raising cross-border data flow concerns. In addition, there will be players with deep pockets and substantial assets, and players on the opposite end of the spectrum who might have a valuable app running on a server, but it may be the only real asset of the company – and intangible at that. The marketplace has not determined where the risk will reside, and GCs of various market participants are uniquely placed to discuss, shape the debate, and facilitate solutions.
The legal community can become more engaged in where the legal risk for cloud computing should sit within the market. Steered by their GCs, lawyers from the buy and sell sides can come together to work out standard terms similar to the way the technical community does. Not too long ago, IBM introduced a two-page cloud contract. As with any standard-form agreement, it seeks to limit the exposure through the usual mechanisms of a liability cap, exclusion of consequential damages and most third-party claims. However, there is an opportunity to take this a step further and consider the customer side in more depth. For example, there are certain industry verticals with common risks – financial, pharmaceutical, government, manufacturing, oil and gas, retail – and each has a common need for cloud computing. GCs from those industries can come together with cloud providers to have a broader risk conversation, taking into account the cloud supply chain, where the law is heading, and what their respective business clients are really trying to accomplish with a contract.
Most of the time business people are not seeking to get bogged down in liability limits and indemnities – their concerns are more operational. Are the lawyers focused on the right things? Where 'third-rail' or catastrophic risk should sit from a legal point of view is important in the rare case that litigation ensues. Most often though, actual in-life disputes concern areas on which lawyers tend to spend insufficient time: for example governance, change control, service level credits, definition of scope and so forth. GCs can help change this dynamic by setting forth reasonable middle-of-the-road general terms and conditions that correctly place risk between the parties or with a third party insurer, and move towards industry-standard contracts and understanding of risk.
Managed networks
The role of the network is changing as well. Technological advancements over the past two decades have forever changed how companies access and use information. In the past, large corporate networks were built to be physically separated and isolated with private lines connecting various offices. We then saw a transition to Virtual Private Networks (VPN) where multiple companies shared the same network infrastructure, and software in the network allowed for a logical separation rather than a physical one. Now we are seeing a further evolution where the internet will play an even larger role than it does today with the IPv6 [Internet Protocol version 6] standard allowing further secure sharing of physical infrastructure, with applications increasingly shifting to the cloud and the much-hyped Internet of Things. Those able to connect various cloud providers and integrate the network service providers will provide unique added value and be key to the security of corporate information ecosystems.
At this point, most large corporates are not willing to put all their money, literally and figuratively, on the internet. It is not yet secure enough, and VPNs will remain at the core of the enterprise. The importance of communications to companies continues to rise, and they will continue to benefit from the more-for-less phenomenon where bandwidth increases as price comes down – similar to the computing space.
This evolution is occurring against a backdrop of regulatory change. You may have seen in the press news about 'Net Neutrality', which is essentially how to ensure equal treatment to all with regard to speed over the internet. In the US, there have been legal battles over Net Neutrality and they are likely to continue, possibly culminating in a legislative solution at some point. Clearly, the legal profession has a lot of influence in this area and can be a positive agent of change. If that is to be the case, GCs for the parties with vested interests on all sides need to pause, step back, and consider how to best facilitate solutions.
Big data
The exponential growth in data storage will continue with the Internet of Things, but human capability to digest information is not increasing at such exponential rates. There is a factoid applicable here (I'm not sure if it's actual fact or fiction but it makes the point either way): a child with a smartphone today has access to more information than Bill Clinton had access to when President of the US.
Increasingly, the GC community will have to grapple with issues such as data protection, profiling of individuals, intellectual property and intervention prior to a bad act based on pattern recognition. There are areas and risks approaching that we cannot conceive of at this point in time, but we can pause and consider the direction of travel and what sorts of rules should apply based on what we do know.
GCs can discuss with each other, and their stakeholders, how they see the allocation of risk unfolding within the market and the supply chain. The output of such dialogue should feed into the guidance and direction they give to their external counsel who need to consider risk in a different, less risk-averse, way. In contract negotiations lawyers need to step back from simply trying to push liability, indemnity, and other risks on to the other party. They should consider which party can most efficiently accept each risk or whether a third party (for example an insurer) can be involved, so that the risk inherent in any one deal can be shared across multiple deals and players.
Of course, insurance will not always make sense and there will be different costs to consider. However, it was not long ago that the concept of cybersecurity insurance did not exist. It does now and government bodies like the US Department of Homeland Security's National Protection and Programs Directorate are facilitating its development. This is commendable. The point is to pause, take a step back, and avoid framing solutions on what is available today. Instead consider how the legal community can offer some thought leadership that will add value and provide the business with a better risk profile to enable growth.
This forward-thinking dialogue is best done in a proactive way, and outside the heat of a negotiation where the clients' interests tend to force the lawyer into a reactive and protectionist mindset. This is especially true in the context of the dreaded and largely unhelpful 'request for proposal' process which seeks to commoditise input prices without considering the value of the solution to the problem being addressed. The GC can facilitate a change in the way companies buy and sell from each other by advocating to identify the problem, define a solution, and then address which party is best placed to carry each risk under what terms and conditions. Only then can the optimal price – for both parties – be determined.
It is beneficial to act in this way in a rapidly evolving world. For example, the legal team at BT has reached out to analysts and consultants who advise our customers, to engage in a dialogue about terms and conditions that we see over and over again. It makes sense to discuss risk profiles outside a particular bid where strict procurement and confidentiality rules apply. Of course, the consultants have similar dialogue with competitors. This allows the buy-side advisers to better understand the risk drivers and adjust the standard terms and conditions in order to avoid going through the same song and dance every time. As the market and technology evolve this is crucial because the risk profile evolves as well, and the contract terms have to be adjusted.
One final point is that the GC community is well placed to influence the way law schools teach. There will always be a role for the zealous litigators, but the profession also needs more risk-savvy creative negotiators and diplomats. Law students should be thinking about how the law will change over the course of their careers, and how they can solve problems. The legal profession should not abdicate its role as advocate, but we should shift focus to areas that have more practical benefits given the transformational changes our clients are experiencing.
We all know the joke that everyone hates a lawyer until they need one. This and other lawyer jokes stem at least partly from the profession's self-inflicted wounds, at times suffered by the overzealous or overcautious among us. The GC community can help turn that tide by pushing the profession – from law student, to in-house counsel, to senior law firm partner – to be more constructive and find ways to facilitate change at the pace being experienced by the business and the market. It is a dialogue that we can start ourselves – let's get on with it.
Five steps that GCs can take to better allocate risk through innovation in a connected world
- Push back against the mindset of managing simply to get things done and pause to consider what step changes are needed in the current legal framework in order to facilitate growth and innovation while allocating risk to the right parties.
- Reach out to like-minded innovative thinkers within the legal profession as well as key stakeholders from other disciplines, question the status quo, and reflect on ways to enable constructive change.
- Nourish the seeds of innovation and use your position of influence to lead by example, championing new ways of working into your own in-house teams and external law firms and other suppliers – press for change in the way law schools educate.
- Highlight the positive change to stakeholders and foster the dialogue around where risk is best-placed and in doing so show how the GC community delivers true value-added thought leadership.
- If you need to switch firm, do it fast.

Tickets go on sale on September 3 - with promoters Michael Coppel and Live Nation Touring expecting enormous demand.
Although only one show has been announced for Sydney, it is highly likely tour dates will be extended.
Rumours about U2's return to Australia have been swirling for months. The tour announcement is an early Christmas present for many of the band's loyal Australian fans, who feared frontman Bono's back injury earlier in the year might have affected plans for a trip Down Under.
The lead singer had emergency spinal surgery in May, which forced the band to postpone the US leg of their world tour, plus major performances including headlining the Glastonbury Festival in England.
U2 returned to touring this month, with concerts in Europe.
Bono said he was ''fighting fit'' and thanked fans, and his bandmates, for their patience.
The U2 show, which features an innovative in-the-round experience for fans, also has a range of cheap tickets for Australian concert-goers.
The ''sight-lines'' seats start from $39.90 a ticket, with general standing and stadium seats priced at $99.90.
U2's manager Paul McGuinness said the band were keen for Australian fans to see the production.
''It was important to the band that we were able to bring the whole 360° production to Australia and New Zealand so fans could experience the latest of U2's legendary productions,'' he said.
More than 4 million fans will have seen U2's 360° Tour worldwide by the time they arrive in Australia.
A source close to the tour has revealed U2 are also considering leaving their enormous set - a three-pronged alien-like tower - in Australia as a tourist attraction, at the end of the tour.
''They thought it was a great idea,'' said the source. ''Rather than shipping it all back on a plane, it could become a local attraction.''

There's only one bridge onto South Korea's Gyodong Island and it's guarded by soldiers.
Every visitor is checked in and out.
A tiny sliver of water is all that separates it from North Korea.
Metal security fences surround much of the coastline to help guard against an enemy that is less than two miles away.
Despite living on front line, few of the residents seem afraid.
In a hairdresser, Bang Eun Jung tells me they're too close and too small for Kim Jong Un to target with his guns.
They know a deal from this week's inter-Korean summit could help to change their lives, but they're wary of letting the North in.
"We should not fully trust them as they had a habit of lying," 75-year-old Lee Won Hee says.
"We should appear to in order to make a deal but we shouldn't fully trust them because now they've got their nuclear programme, they can turn on us at any time."
On the island, the unfinished war - the Korean War effectively ended in 1953, but a peace treaty was never negotiated -mixes with daily life.
Soldiers stationed to protect the border, muck in down at the farm as music from the regime floats across the water.
On a rocky outcrop opposite, Pyongyang has embedded two huge speakers to pump out propaganda.
Residents say they're so used to it that it's like a "lullaby", something they hardly even notice.
This extraordinary way of life is also becoming a draw for tourists.
Until 2014, the island was totally isolated, but a new bridge now connects it to the mainland, while look-out points offer people a glimpse of North Korea.
But one of shopkeepers who is now benefiting from the new trade never meant this to be home.
Before Korea divided, Choi Bok Ryull fled by boat from the now Pyongyang-owned territory opposite.
When the country split, so did his family.
His brother was imprisoned and murdered by the regime.
Now 88 years old, he says this week's talks are his final chance of seeing peace on the peninsula.
"I think unification will happen at some point. Because we are one nation," he explains.
"We saw Germany unify, it happened by people's will. Maybe ours will be the same?"
There is a long way to go before the fences that surround the island can be pulled down and the enemy across the water can again be welcomed as friends.
However, the inter-Korean summit offers a fresh hope of peace, a new chance that the shadow of war will finally be removed.

Midland Combination Premier Division
Coleshill Town 1 v 3 Meir K.A.
Scorer: Shaun Kidson.
This was a game, on paper, that Coleshill should have won. Town were on a good run, Meir were several places below them in the league table but a delve into the stats shows that the visitors have now left Pack Meadow with all three points for the last four seasons. There are several teams in this league who seem to have the jinks on us, Nuneaton Griff, Bolehall Swifts and at home Meir although we generally do well at their place, and the Colemen just don't seem capable of raising their game enough to end the sequence of bad results.
Coleshill were at virtually full strength with an impressive amount of talent sitting on the bench and when Shaun Kidson scored a contender for goal of the season, (a volley from 30yards), with only eight minutes on the clock, all seemed well. But on a very windy day, no one seemed to be able to get the ball down and play. Meir were equally unimpressive but in hat trick man Ritchie Minor, they at least had someone to run at and scare a defence. Minor did just that twice in a matter of minutes to take the visitors into the lead although his second either took a wicked deflection or got caught on the wind as it sailed over the stranded Butler in the Coleshill goal. It got much worse for the home team as Dan Greaves hit the floor heavily following an attempted overhead kick and had to be taken to hospital with a dislocated elbow, and Des Wilkes (making his 100th appearance) failed to re-appear following the break with a re-occurance of a back injury.
Coleshill huffed and puffed in the second half but couldn't find a way back into the game and with only two minutes remaining Meir killed the game from the penalty spot. Ryan Gardner was clearly fouled outside the box but the referee failed to spot the infringement and Minor advanced into the area only to be hauled to the ground by Butler. The Meir striker took the spot kick himself to round off his hat trick and another miserable day for Coleshill.
Team:- Chris Butler, Simon Bradbury, Ryan Gargner, Des Wilkes (Rob Ellis), Dan Greaves (David Brush), Carl Smith, Kevin Wagstaff, Josh McPherson, Shuan Kidson, Shane Higgins, James Dance. Subs not used Jamie Shipway, Mitchell Thompson, Myrone Levy.

Shortly after stepping off the plane at Gatwick this March, I found myself standing on the train platform next to a woman with a curious and oversized box next to her. I was so incredibly curious but couldn't bring myself to strike up a conversation with a total stranger. We'd just survived the red eye and I'm pretty sure my hair was sticking up in weird places from where my sleeping mask kinked it.
I resigned myself to just staying curious when a train flew by and knocked the box onto me. Ok. There's my cue. I struck up a conversation and by the time my train rolled around I was telling her I'd find her on social media to continue the conversation.
Arielle Lauzon is an incredibly talented circus performer from Quebec. The two of us made plans to meet up on Easter weekend and do some shooting in a park close to where we were both staying. It had been an incredibly rainy few days, but the rain cleared up for our shoot and we adventured and explored Dulwich Park together. Our conversation flowed like we'd known each other for years, and she showed me some of her talents.
I love chance encounters and meeting kindred spirits while traveling. It's probably the very best part of every trip.

Speaker or Listener: Who's Responsible For Misunderstandings?
There's been an age-old argument in the communication field: who's at fault if a misunderstanding occurs – the Speaker communicating badly, or the Listener misunderstanding?
Let's look at some facts:
1. Speaking is an act of translating what's going on internally into communication that enables others to understand an intent – choosing the most appropriate words for that particular listener in that particular situation. But the act of choosing is unconscious and may not render a full or accurate representation of what is meant.
2. Listeners translate what they hear through a series of unconscious filters (biases, assumptions, triggers, habits, imperfect memory) formed over their lives by their:
- world view,
- beliefs,
- similar situations,
- historic exchanges with the same speaker,
- biases on entering the conversation (like sellers listening exclusively for need).
What a listener hears is fraught with so much unconscious filtering that their ability to hear accurately what's meant is untrustworthy, except, possibly, when speaking with someone known over time.
3. According to David Bellos in his excellent book Is That a Fish In Your Ear?, no sentence contains all of the information we need to translate it. As listeners, are we translating accurately? What parts of what we hear are biased?
Unfortunately, too often we expect listeners to understand us when we believe we have spoken clearly. Listeners might accurately hear the words spoken (depending on many unconscious factors and filters), but it's another story when listeners attempt to understand what's meant because our brains don't tell us what it has unconsciously left out or interpreted subjectively. So while a speaker might say ABC, we might think ABL was said, and adamantly, stubbornly believe we're correct when we're not.
Since communication involves a bewildering set of conscious and unconscious choices on both sides, accuracy becomes dependent upon each communication partner mitigating bias and disengaging from assumptions; the odds of communication partners accurately understanding the full extent of intended meaning in conversation is unlikely. It's quite a complicated mess of factors.
My new book What? Did you really say what I think I heard? focuses on listening: how we mishear, misunderstand, and otherwise misinterpret, and where and how the gap between what's said and what's heard occurs. I even came up with ways to avoid misunderstanding altogether.
While researching and writing the book I realized that the responsibility for effective communication is heavily weighted in the court of the listener. If listeners don't have skills to catch or prevent their biases or unhook from their unconscious, subjective filters, or at least realize when they might have misinterpreted what's been said, the speaker's words and intent are moot: they may be misconstrued regardless of their accuracy: regardless of how 'clear' a speaker thinks she is, there is no way to tell how the communication will be interpreted.
The listener is the wild card given the number of biases he brings to the table. So as a rule, after a speaker speaks, she must then become an alert listener herself to make sure the response received is within the bounds of acceptability. Or check in with the listener to agree on mutual understanding. Given there are so many subjective, unconscious filters on both sides, it's amazing we communicate at all.
