Recurring Findings

|During our fiscal year 2012-13 audit, we reported that Public Health did not have adequate controls over subawards. Public Health did not properly communicate the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) title and number for the nine subrecipients tested. Public Health is in the process of notifying subrecipients of the CFDA title and number, but again did not communicate this information during fiscal year 2013-14. Failure to properly communicate award information increases the risk that subrecipients may inappropriately spend federal funds or fail to comply with federal regulations, including OMB Circular A-133 audit requirements. Public Health passed through $23.8 million to subrecipients during fiscal year 2013-14.
|Public Health agrees with the recommendation for State Fiscal Year 2013-14 and will immediately implement policies and procedures to communicate the CFDA title and number to subrecipients. Public Health will immediately communicate the CFDA number and title via email and Management Memo issued to subrecipients and is processing amended contracts with an effective date of April 1, 2015, which is in State Fiscal Year 2014-15. Public Health will display the CFDA title and number on the amended contract scopes of work and have notified OA contract processing staff that inclusion of the CFDA number and title is standard practice. Public Health is amending contracts with an effective date of April 1, 2015 and thereafter to display the CFDA number and title in the scope of work. Public Health did fail to implement part of its the corrective action plan. The steps taken by Public Health were: 1. CDPH did not immediately communicate CFDA number and title through informal written communication, but is doing so now; 2. immediately revised Public Health contract policies and procedures to include the CDFA number and title in the scope of work; and, 3. developed a formal implementation plan that was initiated through Management Memos and review of Contracts Management Unit subject memo and contract amendments. Public Health was unable to change existing contracts in place during State Fiscal Year 2013-14 due to time needed to amend contracts. However, Public Health took the above steps to implement the corrective action plan that resulted in contract amendments for State Fiscal Year 2014-15, which have an effective start date of April 1, 2015.

What is Revision?
Tear apart the word revision. The prefix "re" means repetition or again. The word "vision" means to see, thus, revision is to "see again." I have found that if revision is taught, students immediately think it's to look for errors in spelling and grammar. This is a habit that must be broken. While at any point during the Writing Process students can fix errors in the mechanics of the essay, that is considered editing. The revision step is all about the content and organization of the essay. The revision step is the part where we begin to tear apart our sentence, to reword, reorganize, rethink and rewrite. It's tedious, yes, but worth every minute.
Teaching Revision
The very first step in the revision process is rewriting. Because I have my students do a handwritten draft, their transfer to the word processor is the rewriting of their essay. They must focus specifically on every word they transfer and think about each sentence. I encourage my students to make that draft look different than their first draft, to think about what could make it better in terms of the 6 + 1 Traits of Writing such as organization, sentence structure, word choice, ideas, etc.
There are many options to use for revision depending on what aspect of the writing you want the students to focus on. I use the 6+1 Traits of Writing in my classroom, but generally do not focus on all of the traits every time. I always include organization and conventions in the assessment of the writing and add to it one of either ideas, voice, word choice, and sentence fluency.
To work on revisions with organization, there are several options. The
strategy that I use most often is a reverse outline. Much like the
initial outline helps to drive the organization of the piece, the reverse outline
helps to check. The reverse outline has the students pick apart their essay in
a way that forces them to look at the basics of the structure and content.
There are several ways to accomplish this task, both independently and among
peers. Each of the following tasks can be done by the writer or by a peer.
Independently, I may have the students create a bulleted outline of their writing. They must write essay for me and then write down the thesis statement of the essay. The must then go through each paragraph and write down the topic and the supporting details, the conclusion paragraph part of this process as well. I will then have them look at the details and the connections. Are the main topics in direct support of the thesis? Do the details support the topics clearly? Does the order of the information presented make sense? Does the conclusion follow through with the thesis statement? This type of outlining has them dissect their writing and analyze it.
Using the bulleted reverse outline with a peer is just as helpful. They have a more objective eye as they do not have any connection to the text. Having them pull apart the information is a way to see if someone else can see the support and give an opinion as to whether or not it really does tie to the thesis. When I have this done as a peer-revision, I will make sure that the peer-reviewer leaves comments on the paper as well, identifying areas that have weak connections, but also making positive comments about where the paper seems solid.
Another important factor in the revision process is having students look at the content of the piece and determine how well it supports the thesis. The highlighted outline can be used in many ways and in some cases I do it in lieu of a reverse bulleted outline. It requires the same skills of identifying the supporting information, but it's not as black and white for organization as the reverse bulleted outline.
Essentially with a highlighted outline I have the students print out a copy of their assignment. This can be done with a handwritten assignment as well if a word processor is not an option in the classroom. The essay is then passed to another student. Whenever I have students do peer-reviews, I choose who gets whose essay. In most cases, I will give a strong writer a weak writer's paper and vice versa. The weak writer gets the benefit of having a strong writer review his or her essay and the chance to look at better writing. The strong writer can practice their skills of review and revision and offer good, solid, feedback to a weaker writer.
Once the papers have been distributed, I will tell the students to read the essay through once, without making any comments on it. They need to familiarize themselves with the piece before they can review it. After they have read it they will get the instructions to locate the thesis (or what appears to be the thesis). Once the thesis has been identified, I have them go through with a highlighter and highlight the main topics of each paragraph (direct support of the thesis). They will underline the connections that are made between that main support and the thesis. This will continue throughout the entire paper.
This will lead to a visual representation of the points tied to the thesis and how well the writer connects those points. If there is a ton of highlighting and very little underlining, that person needs to strengthen the connections. If there is little of both, the writer needs to clarify his or her support of the thesis and pull through with stronger connections.
After the highlighting, the reviewer would then answer several questions about the task. The feedback should be critical as well as include positives. The writer should know what he or she did well and get some advice on what to improve.
When students are working on a specific aspect of their writing, then we do
a peer review of that aspect. If students are working on word choice or
sentence structure, I have the reviewer highlight words or sentences that could
use more work.
The key to revisions is for the reviewer to identify strengths and weaknesses throughout the piece. The reviewer should not offer changes or explain how to fix the errors. To become better with the craft, the writer needs to work out ways to revise his or her work. They certainly can ask for advice, as all writers do, but that should be their doing; the "fix" shouldn't be handed to them.
Keep in mind, each revision should be its own separate step. Once a revision technique is used, the writers should apply it to their draft then use another revision technique. It is also important to remind students that their writing is their own; they do not need to make all the changes that are suggested in the revision process. The writer should choose the revisions at their own discretion.

Five Large-Cap Stocks Are Up More Than 100% This Year
Posted: November 05, 2019
The U.S. stock market's hottest stocks this year have mostly been youngish companies with little if any profit history. Investors these days are talking conservatively, but investing speculatively.
Among the 535 U.S. stocks with a market value of $10 billion or more as of November 1, five have returned more than 100% this year. The table below shows the market value and total return (price appreciation plus dividends) for those favored five.
Roku (ROKU), based in Los Gatos, California, makes technology for streaming video. As consumers have embraced videos, at the expense of live TV, Roku's revenue has nearly tripled in four years, to more than $900 million. It has yet to show a profit.
Along with Amazon, Roku is a leader in the set-top box streaming market. This lets people "cut the cable" and save some money, though they then have less access to live news and sports.
After more than quadrupling this year, Roku sells for 18x revenue and 36x book value (corporate net worth per share). That's nosebleed territory. I wouldn't recommend chasing it.
Array Biopharma (ARRY), based in Denver, is developing a series of cancer drugs. It has shown a profit only once in the past 15 years, in 2015. But the stock tripled this year as Pfizer made a takeover bid at $48 a share.
Big drug companies hungry for pipeline are often willing to pay a high multiple for biotech firms. I think Pfizer is overpaying, but that's neither here nor there.
People–especially teenagers–like the Snapchat website, where they can exchange messages and photos that vanish after a short time, leaving no permanent record. According to Snap (SNAP), the site added 7 million daily users in the third quarter, bringing its total to 203 million users.
The company's revenue has grown from $59 million in 2015 to $1.5 billion in the past four quarters. Snap shares, at $5.51 when this year began, now fetch more than $15, which is 9x book value and 13x revenue.
Snap has yet to show a profit in its young and happy life.
Carvana Co. (CVNA) operates an online platform for buying and selling used cars. Like Roku and Snap, it has never turned a profit, but has fast revenue growth. Sales were only $42 million in 2014; they were $2.8 billion in the past four quarters.
The stock is expensive by some measures, but my big problem with Carvana is the debt—more than 600% of stockholders' equity. That doesn't leave much cushion in the case of unexpected setbacks.
Lam Research (LRCX) is the most seasoned stock in this group, having shown a profit in 14 of the past 15 years (all but recession-torn fiscal 2009). I have recommended the stock several times in this column, and have owned it personally and for clients in the past.
Lam is a leader in the "etch" part of the semiconductor business. It makes equipment that create the tiny grooves into which microscopic circuits fit in chips.
I still like the stock, but not as much as I once did. Its revenue growth rate was nearly 21% a year in the past five years, but revenue shrank about 5% in the past 12 months, even as the stock was soaring.
Past Record
I've written columns on this subject (the biggest gainers for the year's first ten months) six times in the past—in 2012, and in 2014 through 2018. In this series, I've discussed 30 stocks with big gains.
I turned up my nose at 22 of those stocks, yet they returned an average of 34% over the subsequent 12 months. Meanwhile, the three hot stocks on which I was neutral advanced 7.5% and the five I said to buy rose only 3%.
I've often said that investors pay too much attention to momentum. These results argue that I don't pay enough.
Bear in mind that my column recommendations are theoretical and don't reflect actual trades, trading costs or taxes. Their results shouldn't be confused with the performance of portfolios I manage for clients. And past performance doesn't predict future results.
Disclosure: I own none of the stocks discussed today, personally or for clients.

By any measure, 2018 was a major year for data privacy regulation. The most significant regulatory development in this area was the European Union's General Data Privacy Regulation ("GDPR"), which went into effect on May 25, 2018 and establishes what is probably the most rigorous data protection regime currently in existence. As adopted, GDPR includes numerous restrictions on the use of individual personal data, coupled with an expansive extraterritorial reach that makes compliance with its provisions a concern for many business who maintain even relatively minor connections with the European Union. Also in 2018, the State of California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"), which establishes a data protection regime that is in many ways inspired by GDPR and will come into effect on January 1, 2020.
GDPR and the heightened restrictions it establishes regarding the use of personal information will have a major effect on insurance industry participants that are subject to GDPR and to regulatory initiatives in other jurisdictions, such as California, that choose to adopt a similar framework. The collection and use of personal information is a core business practice of the insurance industry worldwide. Personal information is obtained by insurance companies, agents, brokers and other service providers in order to design, underwrite and distribute insurance products and services to consumers. Consequently, a data protection regime that could restrict such entities in accessing and processing personal information would require significant reevaluation of their foundational operational practices.
The General Data Privacy Regulation
GDPR is the result of a multi-stage negotiation process among the members of the European Union, originally proposed by the European Commission to replace the 1995 European Directive (95/46/EC) (the "Directive"), which set out the previously existing data protection regime for the European Union. Adopted by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union on April 14, 2016, GDPR became enforceable on May 25, 2018. As a regulation (as opposed to a directive) it is directly binding and applicable in all Member States of the European Union.[1]
GDPR defines personal data as "information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person,"[2] and establishes a number of protections for and restrictions on use and transfer of such personal data. Crucially, GDPR sets a very low bar for what is considered "identifiable": if a natural person can be identified using "all means reasonably likely to be used,"[3] the information would be considered "personal data." Accordingly, data may be considered personal data even if the entity holding such data cannot itself identify the natural person to whom such data pertains. Indeed, the name of a natural person would not be required to establish that information is "personal data" – any identifier, including an identification number, location data, online identifier or other similar factor may be considered an identifying factor for a natural person.
While the GDPR includes many requirements, most relevant to insurers may be the significantly enhanced rights provided to individuals, and these enhanced rights are coupled with specific provisions that make it easier for such individuals to claim damages for compensation for violations of such rights. These rights include, with exceptions: (i) a right to access personal data in a concise, transparent and easily accessible form; (ii) a right in certain circumstance to have personal information erased ; (iii) a right to receive or have transmitted to another controlling entity all personal data concerning them in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format; (iv) a right to object to the processing of personal data; and (v) a right not to be subject to automated decision making processes, including profiling.
As a practical matter, the extremely expansive definition of "personal data" means that organizations that must comply with GDPR will need to institute compliance practices across a far wider range of data processing and utilization practices than ever before. Further, even if an organization is not established within the European Union, it can still be subject to GDPR if it processes the personal data of individuals who are in the European Union where the processing activities are related "to the offering of goods or services"[4] to such individuals in the European Union or "the monitoring of their behavior"[5] to the extent that their behavior takes place within the European Union.
In order to comply with GDPR, organizations need to be in a position to affirmatively demonstrate to supervisory authorities and data subjects that they have affirmatively complied with the relevant provisions of the regulation. GDPR particularly sets out enhanced governance obligations, including requirements to: (i) keep a detailed record of processing operations; (ii) provide a fair processing notice to individuals whom personal data is being processed about that explains the purposes and legal basis of the processing as well as other information; (iii) perform data protection impact assessments for high risk processing; (iv) designate a data protection officer to advise on compliance with GDPR and generally monitor data protection efforts; (v) maintain a comprehensive record of data breaches, including notifying individuals where necessary; (vi) impose specific contractual requirements on third parties that personal data is shared with; and (vii) implement "data protection by design and by default."[6]
The California Consumer Privacy Act and the Consequences of GDPR in the United States
While its expansive territorial scope may make compliance with GDPR a top priority for large multinational holding companies (including those based in the United States), such companies will now need to consider privacy legislation adopted in the United States as well.
On June 28, 2018, the CCPA was enacted in California, and comparisons were immediately drawn to the GDPR. For purposes of the CCPA, "personal information" is defined as "information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household,"[7] a definition that has a similar broad scope to the definition utilized by GDPR.
The CCPA, like GDPR, imposes a number of restrictions on organizations beyond the physical borders of California, including on any organizations that control personal data and do business in California, albeit only subjecting those organizations to the extent that they process data of California residents. However, unlike GDPR, the CCPA has not set out any principles regarding the lawful processing of personal data – though given how recently the CCPA was passed and its effective date of January 1, 2020, there is a significant likelihood that California regulatory authorities, including the Attorney General, may issue guidance on this point. Indeed, the CCPA requires the Attorney General to issue regulations implementing certain of its provisions (for example, instructing how businesses can "reasonably verify" consumer requests) and authorizes the adoption of additional regulations as necessary to further the CCPA's purposes.
Similarly, the CCPA grants consumers who are California residents a number of rights, some of which are broadly analogous to the rights established by GDPR, including (with certain exceptions): (i) a right for consumers to receive affirmative disclosures from organizations covered by the CCPA of such organizations' sale, collection or disclosure of such individuals' personal information, and the requirement that such organizations respond to requests for information from such individuals; (ii) a right for consumers to access specific pieces of information collected about them by an organization; (iii) a right for consumers to request the deletion of their personal information from organizations that hold such information; (iv) a right for consumers to opt-out of the sale of personal information to third parties; and (v) a right of consumers not to be subject to discrimination for exercising their rights under the CCPA. The Attorney General may sue to enforce these rights, although private citizens may only sue to redress the unlawful exfiltration or disclosure of very limited categories of personal information (name, social security number, driver's license number and certain financial, medical and health insurance information).
In addition, a number of states have updated their data breach notification laws in the months following the effective date of GDPR, including Alabama, Arizona, Louisiana, Oregon and South Dakota. This would seem to indicate the growing importance of data privacy concerns to governmental authorities throughout the United States.
Likely Effects of GDPR in 2019 and Beyond
There is a significant likelihood that GDPR, with its increased protections for consumers, could reset the standard for how businesses, including insurance industry participants, handle personal data. Further, if protections of the type established by GDPR and the CCPA are adopted more widely, it is likely that individuals will become more aware of the advantages afforded to them by businesses that are compliant with those protections and may choose (to the extent feasible) to provide their data to those businesses rather than to businesses that are not obligated to provide GDPR-style protections. Another potential consequence is that standard contracts customarily used throughout industries would need to be revisited with an eye towards compliance with an enhanced data privacy regime, including reexamination of commercial terms given the increased costs of compliance with and higher risks of non-compliance under such a regime.
Ultimately, laws such as GDPR represent a paradigm shift for data-centric industries, like insurance, which are anchored in the use of personal information. While many insurance industry participants have begun to adjust for the increased restrictions of GDPR, these regimes present more than cosmetic legal and compliance challenges, but require companies to overhaul their thinking on the way that they collect, process, store, share and discard personal data. If regimes similar to GDPR and the CCPA are adopted more widely, basic services provided by insurance companies, agents, brokers and other service providers, down to the issuance of policies and processing of claims, will have to be reevaluated in the light of the enhanced protections for personal data and increased consent rights for individuals. Although it remains to be seen whether and to what extent lawmakers and regulators in the United States and other non-EU countries will adopt GDPR-like laws and regulations, companies would do well to remain attuned to and anticipate the changing regulatory environment that is increasingly sensitive to safeguarding the privacy of personal data. It will also be important for industry representatives to engage with their legislators and regulators in order to have a voice in shaping future legislative and regulatory initiatives.
[1] As of July 20, 2018, GDPR was also adopted by the three of the four nations in the European Free Trade Association – Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway.
[2] Art. 4 of GDPR.
[3] Recital 26 of GDPR.
[4] Art. 3(2)(a) of GDPR.
[5] Art. 3(2)(b) of GDPR.
[6] With respect to this last point, Article 25 of GDPR introduces the dual concepts of "data protection by design and by default." "Data protection by design" requires organizations to take into account the risks that could be presented to protecting an individual's personal data during the process of designing and implementing a new process, product or service. "Data protection by default" requires organizations to put in place mechanisms to ensure that, by default, only personal data that is strictly necessary for specific purpose is processed.

Additional Services
We're here to make your life easier.
In addition to our full-service veterinary offerings, we have even more services for anything you and your pet may need.
Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine utilizes the body's own cells to heal and regenerate damaged tissues in acute and chronic conditions.
Therapies included are:
- Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
- Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) Stem Cells
Regenerative Medicine can be used for:
- Osteoarthritis
- Acute and Chronic Soft Tissue Injuries
- Tendon Injuries
- Ligament Injuries
- Muscle Injuries
- Certain Spinal Conditions
What is Platelet Rich Plasma?
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a highly concentrated blood sample that contains isolated cells (platelets) and the fluid portion of blood (plasma). When used as a therapy, PRP can help regenerate and heal tissues by:
- Recruiting cells to an area of injury to clean up dead and injured cells
- Releasing proteins called "Growth Factors" which are responsible for tissue regeneration
What's involved with PRP therapy?
If your veterinarian has determined that PRP therapy is right for your pet, he/she can process and treat your pet with PRP during an office visit. A small amount of blood is taken from your dog and is processed using a specialized system that concentrates the platelets and the plasma. Once the PRP processing is complete, it is injected directly into the area of injury.
What results can be expected from PRP therapy?
Many veterinarians have noted therapeutic effects last between 6-12 months for dogs with mild to moderate osteoarthritis.
What are Stem Cells?
Stem cells have the ability to differentiate into any type of cell. They can also activate other surrounding stem cells and recruit additional cell types to aid in wound healing and tissue repair.
What's involved in Stem Cell therapy?
If your veterinarian has determined that your dog is
a candidate for stem cell therapy, he/she can process and inject the stem cells during an office visit. A small amount of bone marrow is collected from the femur while the dog is under general anesthesia. It is then processed using a specialized system that isolates and concentrates the stem cells. Once the processing is complete, the stem cells are then directly injected into the area of injury.
Seeing results from Stem Cell therapy?
As with PAP therapy, every dog's response to therapy will be different. Most veterinarians have noted that dogs with moderate to severe osteoarthritis will show marked improvement for more than a year with one treatment of stem cells. Follow your veterinarian's recommendations for rehabilitation and follow-up.
Chemotherapy and Cancer Treatment
Like us, animals can get cancer. Fortunately, however, some forms of cancer are curable. In addition, recent advancements in cancer treatment can dramatically extend the lives of many dogs and cats. Treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery may be used to stop the spread of cancer and remove or destroy cancer cells and tumors.
You can help prevent some forms of cancer by having your pet spayed or neutered at an early age, but most cancers cannot be prevented. This is why early detection is one of our best weapons against this disease.
Regular veterinary visits can help us keep track of what is normal for your pet, as well as detect anything suspicious. However, because we typically only see your dog or cat once or twice a year, we also rely on your knowledge of your pet to catch any potential issues early. Contact us right away if you notice any changes in your pet's physical appearance or behavior (such as lumps or bumps, sores that don't heal, vomiting, diarrhea, or changes in eating habits).

Mary Childs and Christopher Scott Lane were married Feb. 25 at St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Richmond, Va. The Rev. Canon Robert G. Hetherington, an Episcopal priest, officiated.
The bride, 30, who will be keeping her name, was until January based in New York as the United States financial correspondent for The Financial Times, the London-based newspaper. She is now based in Laguna Woods, Calif., working on a book on the money-management industry to be published by Flatiron Books, a division of Macmillan in New York. She graduated from Washington & Lee University in Lexington, Va.
She is a daughter of Margaret Noftsinger Childs and Eugene M. Childs Jr. of Richmond, Va. The bride's father is the director of strategic projects at Union Bank & Trust in Richmond.
The groom, 32, known as Scott, is a songwriter and guitarist for the Congress, a touring rock band based in Richmond. He founded American Paradox, a record label there, that released his band's recording in September. He graduated from Randolph–Macon College in Ashland, Va.
He is a son of Anna Dalton Lane of Richmond, and Gregory T. Lane of Mechanicsville, Va., and a stepson of Kristi C. Lane. The groom's mother is the registrar at St. Catherine's School, an Episcopal elementary and high school in Richmond. His father, who is retired, worked in Richmond, as a vice president in the wealth management group of BB&T bank.
The couple met in 2001 during high school (where both their mothers worked) and the following year were cast as boyfriend and girlfriend in the school play, "The Man Who Came to Dinner." But they did not begin dating until 2014.

one ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) operation is executed. Two
operands are output from the register file, the operation is
executed, and the result is stored back in the register file -
in one clock cycle.

This year US consumers are estimated to have spent an average of $180 each for Mother's Day, according to the National Retail Federation. This month Movies on the Radio gives moms a tribute money can not buy with a show devoted to mothers.
Joining host Frank Stasio are movie experts Marsha Gordon, a film professor at North Carolina State University, and Laura Boyes, the film curator for the North Carolina Museum of Art. Unlike the June Cleavers and Claire Huxtables immortalized in television, the movie moms highlighted in this episode of Movies on the Radio represent the complicated nature of motherhood.
In "The Imitation of Life," Lana Turner's character loses track of her daughter at the beach and spends most of the film neglecting her child in pursuit of her dreams. Then there are the women who gave up their freedom to raise other people's children like in "Auntie Mame." State of Things listeners chose films with no shortage of overbearing moms and some who are just "Psycho." Motherhood in other cultures is not much different as depicted in "The Joy Luck Club." Through the story of Chinese immigrant mothers, filmgoers learn that the role of protector and provider is universal.

Usain Bolt returned to form by winning the 100 metres in 9.87 seconds at the Diamond League meet in London's Olympic Stadium on Friday.
After a poor start, the Jamaican struggled to break away from the pack but eventually edged Michael Rodgers of the United States by three hundredths of a second. Kemar Bailey-Cole of Jamaica was third in 9.92.
Bolt equalled his season's best of 9.87, which he recorded earlier Friday in qualifying. After struggling this season with a left leg injury, his fastest 100 time of the season before arriving in London was 10.12.
With the World Championships in Beijing a month away, Bolt was pleased with his performance in cloudy conditions following heavy rainfall.
"It was good for me, my last 50 was good," Bolt said. "When I got a really bad start, I kind of lost focus and I lost my form but at the last I got it back.
"It taught me a lot. I just need to remember that even if I get a bad start, I have to focus on the work at hand and just get it done. I know I could have gone faster if I just got my start in. I've been running fast in training but it is easy, you are under no pressure. It is all about getting race ready."
Britain's Mo Farah had an emphatic victory in the 3,000 metres, finishing in 7:34.66 and beating Othmane El Goumri of Morocco by over two seconds.
"Towards the end I could use my speed and there was confidence," Farah said.
Jessica Ennis-Hill came fifth in the 100 hurdles but the Briton recorded her season's best time of 12.79, in a race won by the United States' Jasmin Stowers in 12.47.
Ennis-Hill is still unsure whether she will be in Beijing next month and said she will decide after competing in the long jump on Saturday. "I was looking for around 13, so to get sub 13 is very pleasing," Ennis-Hill said.
American Jason Richardson won the 110 hurdles in 13.19.
Zuzana Hejnova of the Czech Republic was first in the women's 400 hurdles in 53.99, edging Georganne Moline of the U.S. in 54.24.

Despite the fact that protestors were barred from attending Attorney General Jeff Sessions' "free speech" lecture on Tuesday—an irony no one missed—dozens of dissenting Georgetown University students and faculty made their presence known by taking a knee outside of the campus law center and hoisting signs that read "we were uninvited" and "Sessions is afraid of questions."
Georgetown Law faculty arrives to take a knee in protest of Sessions' appearance on campus. pic.twitter.com/aOEaUgAQAJ— Will Racke (@hwillracke) September 26, 2017
Ahead of Sessions' lecture, a group of 30 Georgetown law professors signed a letter calling the Trump-appointed attorney general a "poor choice to speak about free speech on campuses," given that "Sessions is a key cabinet member in an administration headed by a president who spent last weekend denouncing athletes engaging in free expression and calling for them to be fired."
"To invite somebody who purports to be an authority on free speech who so profoundly misunderstands the theories and law of free speech in our country…is laughable."
—Heidi Li Feldman, Georgetown law professor
Highlighting the fact that the Justice Department is currently prosecuting a woman for laughing during Sessions' confirmation hearing, the professors argued that "[t]his kind of government chilling of speech is precisely what the First Amendment to the United States Constitution is meant to prevent."
During his lecture—heard by an invite-only crowd pre-selected to "ensure a sympathetic audience"—Sessions defended President Donald Trump's attacks on NFL players protesting police brutality and racial inequities, saying: "The president has free speech rights too."
Sessions went on to note that the protesting "players aren't subject to any prosecution, but if they take a provocative act, they can expect to be condemned," adding that he, like Trump, "would condemn their actions."
Meanwhile, outside the lecture hall, protestors condemned Sessions as a "snowflake" for effectively carving out a "safe space" for himself by not allowing dissenters to attend the lecture.
"An opportunity to express our freedom of speech today was taken from us," on speaker told those gathered outside of the Georgetown auditorium. "So we're taking it back."
Heidi Li Feldman, a Georgetown law professor who told the Washington Post she was denied permission to attend Sessions' lecture, said that "[h]olding an event that creates a safe space for the attorney general—and such a safe space that you don't even invite people who commit to not disrupt the event while it's ongoing—demonstrates a certain amount of hypocrisy."
"To invite somebody who purports to be an authority on free speech who so profoundly misunderstands the theories and law of free speech in our country…is laughable," Feldman concluded.

Challenge: Pick a Portrait Style
The #PickaPortraitStyle contest ended on April 9, 2019. We're pleased to announce the three winners:
- Peter Daltrey, United Kingdom
- Nina Leth, Denmark
- Lynne Mitchell, United States
The three judges are all artists who work in Adobe's San Francisco office. While they sit within a few feet of each other, their styles are quite diverse. That's easy to see when you compare how they modified the Adobe Stock photo.
Erica Larson's digital illustrations are often informed by the analog world. Watch the time-lapse video below to see how she brings her own hand-drawn patterns into the digital realm with Adobe Capture CC and intentionally evokes the look of a misregistered print job with Adobe Photoshop CC.
The code-based image-processing technique known as pixel sorting inspired Kendall Plant's artistic explorations. She also uses Capture and Photoshop for her process, as the time-lapse video below demonstrates.
Lidia Lukianova searched Adobe Stock to find flower reference photos, and then used Capture, Adobe Photoshop Sketch, and Adobe Illustrator Draw in creating her rich illustration. She then turned to Adobe After Effects and the HP Reveal app to create an augmented-reality version of the illustration. Watch the time-lapse of her process below.

From 1900 to 1907, John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) travelled considerably, visiting the Alps, Italy, Spain, Norway, and Palestine. In Palestine in 1905, he painted a significant group of oils and watercolours as well as a group of studies of the Bedouin. It was during this burst of artistic production that he painted "The Mountains of Moab" (Tate Gallery, London), which was the first pure landscape he ever exhibited (Royal Academy, 1906). In Italy and Spain, Sargent painted parks, gardens, fountains, and statues, subjects which reveal his taste for the high style of Renaissance and Mannerist art and for the romantic grandeur of deserted spaces.
As evidenced by the works in this new volume, Sargent reinvented himself as a landscape painter during his travels. Expressing a finely developed sense of modernity, he selected quirky angles of vision and used a range of compositional strategies - compression, foreshortening, abrupt croppings, and receding perspectives - in a manner that is quasi-photographic. He exploited the material qualities of pigment, and the impasto is often so thickly applied that figure and landscape seem to dissolve together creating rich, near abstract surface patterns. The restless handling and dynamic compositional rhythms act in creative tension with the artist's more traditional subject matter, generating notions of instability and ambiguity that are distinctly modern in character.
"[S]tunningly beautiful . . . [John Singer Sargent's] watercolors of Venice are so luminous, so brilliant, so breathtaking that one would never wish to put him or this gorgeous volume of Venetian Figures and Landscapes 1898—1913 on a back shelf."—Robert Kiely, Commonweal

What art means to me!
Art is a very personal thing. (well it is for me!). Like life it's all part of a learning experience.
I believe you should do that that inspires you.
Experiment - learn from your mistakes - don't be afraid of producing some "Rubbish"
If you like your efforts - fine. If others do too then that's a bonus. Then if someone want's to own it that's really great.
I believe that we should all ENJOY our art, especially if it is an important part of our life.

The simple but vibrant décor outdoors puts you at ease immediately. The seating indoors is cosy and in the evening this section transforms itself into a den for Sheesha lovers. The food menu is interesting with a clear focus on Indian food and some global offerings with a unique desi twist. The bar menu is equally exhaustive and varied. 'Kombdicha Rassa' as a soup sets you off to a good start and is rustic, but flavourful. The Dhungar Murg Ke Shole' is a must-try, as the smoked flavours of the well-marinated and spicy chicken, prove to be an absolute treat. The 'Chicken Mughlai Paratha' is outstanding. Vegetarian options abound. Among the Pan Asian and global offerings, try the 'Achari Chicken Satay' and chargrilled chicken steak. For a quick bite, burgers and pizza are available too. Considering it is essentially a bar, the emphasis on quality food is heartening. The food comes in generous portions and is aesthetically presented. The 'Cheesecake' disappoints, as it is not made in-house, but sourced from elsewhere. The staff is warm and polite and the service alert and efficient

Photo: Jerome Waite (Arnett Gardens) and Andrew Price (Boys Town) will both be hoping that their team can grab all three points in Part one of this season's Collie Smith Drive derbies at the Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex at 6:00pm.
Week three of an already very interesting Red Stripe Premier League season, will be highlighted by the first Collie Smith Drive derby of the season. Third place and defending champions Arnett Gardens hosts sixth place Boys Town at the Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex at 6:00pm today, in what is the last game on Sunday.
Arnett had a comfortable 3-0 opening day win against newbies the UWI on match day one, but were stunned 1-0 by Cavalier on Monday night and will want to return to winning ways in a hurry. Boys Town has drawn their first two games and will be looking for their first win which would represent their best start to the season in years.
Both clubs enjoy massive home support and the Boys Town faithful are expected to make the short trip up Collie Smith Drive for this key encounter.
Shock leaders and newly promoted Portmore United is the only team to have taken maximum points from two games so far this season and travel to Drewsland for what is expected to be a cracking encounter starting at 4:00pm.
Waterhouse have a new coach in Calvert Fitzgerald and they have a single point from their opening day fixture. Their game last weekend against FC Reno was rained out. This will be the first home game of the season for Fitzgerald and his team, so they will be looking to start well in front of a very critical home crowd.
Portmore clearly hold no fear on their return to top flight football after one season away and are expected to approach the game as if three points are theirs for the taking. This game has all the hallmarks of an instant classic.
Second from bottom Rivoli United on one point, hosts bottom placed UWI who have yet to secure a point, at the Prison Oval in the other 4 o'clock encounter. Rivoli will be looking for a confidence boosting win to climb out of the relegation zone while the UWI will be looking for their first point ever, in top flight football. This game could go either way, but the home team should start as favourites.
The day's other game is the early match between 8th place Tivoli Gardens on two points and 10th place Humble Lion on one point at the Edward Seaga Sports Complex starting at 3:30pm.
A draw and a loss is a far cry from what was expected from the team that finished the season strongest last term and just missed out on a spot in the RSPL final, but Humble Lion will be looking to get their first win of the season from a Tivoli team that is in transition with a new coach in Christopher Bender and coping with the loss of some key players to other clubs in the off-season.
Jermaine 'Teddy' Johnson who has returned to his old club is expected to lead his team to a much better performance this term but was red-carded against Boys Town last week and misses today's game. The former Reggae Boy has since apologized for his actions but this will be of no help to his team that needs all hands on deck to push up the tables.
The game between Montego Bay United and Cavalier SC has been postponed due to the CONCACAF Champions League commitments of Mobay United on Tuesday week.
The Monday night encounter sees 6th place Harbour View hosting 4th place FC Reno at the Harbour View Stadium starting at 8:30pm. Harbour View has two points from as many draws this season but a win could catapult them into the top four. FC Reno has enjoyed a good start to their season and will look to build on their early form despite the long trip from Westmoreland.

MySpace is Officially Taking Over the World
I know it's been said before, but now it's official, MySpace is taking over the world. The networking giant is venturing from the cyber world to the real world. This year MySpace will be throwing two spring parties, one in Panama City Beach and the other on South Padre Island.
As if spring break in Panama City Beach wasn't insane enough already, when throwing MySpace into the mix, there is no telling what could happen. The only thing stopping this from being a complete coed anarchy is a collaboration with Girls Gone Wild.
I can only hope that Tom will show up with his, "one billion", friends. Maybe all those mysterious MySpace babes that send me friend requests daily will show up. Hopefully they won't turn out to be 40 year old men with a boy fetish.
You couldn't pay me to make my way down South to the extravaganza of six packs and over tanned blondes, but to each their own.
If that's your thing, here are some of the specifics:
Panama City Beach, March 8th, 15th, and 22nd.
South Padre Island, March 14th.
For more specific info, visit the MySpace Spring Break profile page and make them your friend. Yes, you, can become friends with spring break. Who knew?

Tools for remotely assessing riparian buffers protecting streams from sediment pollution
Ssegane, Herbert
MetadataShow full item record
The study evaluated tools for remotely assessing the impact of riparian buffers protecting streams from sediment pollution by integrating Google Earth Pro and USLE to predict site specific soil erosion and integrating GIS, remote sensing, and USLE to estimate erosion distribution within Nzoia basin (Kenya). Sediment deposition along the buffer was estimated using USFS SDR. Paired t test comparison between GPS and Google Earth derived elevations showed difference between the elevations but within the GPS error margin. Ground truthing results from ten small watersheds yielded a mean absolute error of 0.76 tons ha yr with a coefficient of determination of 0.95. For sediment deposition, USFS method overestimated the amount of sediment deposited in riparian buffers. The integration of GIS, remote sensing, and USLE yielded a soil erosion distribution map for the Nzoia basin with most of the basin under slight erosion (0 5 tons ha yr) with some erosion hotspots. Therefore, Google Earth Pro, GIS, and remote sensing technologies can be integrated with erosion, sediment yield, and nutrient transport prediction models to asses the effectiveness of riparian buffers.

How does Powershell Direct session work internally? When application, which uses Hyper-V socket, makes CONNECT call, root partition sends message to guest OS using winhvr!WinHvPostMessage:
kd> !dc @rdx – before vmcall (part of message body)
#227b36000 00000001 00000000 00000001 000000c4 ................
#227b36010 00000001 00000000 999e53d4 4c3e3d5c .........S..\=>L
#227b36020 d0be7987 e156c06e
If we look at the parameters of vmicvmsession, we find out, that it has trigger for start.
After the message was delivered to guest OS, vmbus driver added new interface:
kd> kcn
# Call Site
00 nt!IoRegisterDeviceInterface
01 Wdf01000!Mx::MxRegisterDeviceInterface
02 Wdf01000!FxDeviceInterface::Register
03 Wdf01000!FxDeviceInterface::Register
04 Wdf01000!imp_WdfDeviceCreateDeviceInterface
05 vmbus!RootStartDeviceInterfaceByContext
06 hvsocket!VmbusTlXPartProcessNewConnection
07 vmbus!RootNotifyDeviceInterfaceArrival
08 Wdf01000!FxWorkItem::WorkItemHandler
09 Wdf01000!FxWorkItem::WorkItemThunk
0a nt!IopProcessWorkItem
0b nt!ExpWorkerThread
0c nt!PspSystemThreadStartup
0d nt!KiStartSystemThread
And PnP mechanism works:
kd> kcn
# Call Site
00 nt!PnpNotifyDeviceClassChange
01 nt!PnpDeviceEventWorker
02 nt!ExpWorkerThread
03 nt!PspSystemThreadStartup
Service trigger works and service starts. After that icsvc.dll configures socket and begins communication with Host OS.
It is interesting that we can change that GUID to GUID of another device. We can get list of services, that have trigger on DEVICE INTERFACE ARRIVAL event:
All Hyper-V guest services
Bluetooth Support Service
Windows Camera Frame Server
Human Interface Device Service
Geolocation Service
Microsoft Passport
Portable Device Enumerator Service
Sensor Service
Sensor Monitoring Service
Storage Service
Touch Keyboard and Handwriting (probably)
And if we point that GUID in CONNECT call
clsid_str = L"{53f56307-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}";
CLSIDFromString(clsid_str, &ServiceID); //when you call CONNECT with that GUID Portable Device Enumerator Service will start in guest OS (even in shielded VM)
guest OS starts this service, because it believes, that triggered device was appeared in system.
One point: before do this you must add GUID to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Virtualization\GuestCommunicationServices as key in Host OS (need local admin rights)
It works on Shielded VM too (tested in Admin-Trusted mode), besides Hyper-V Powershell Direct Service – it not started
It very interesting to see integration between Hyper-V sockets and PnP subsystem in Windows.

Pets at Home marks 25th anniversary with social media campaign
Pets at Home has worked with a number of Northern agencies on a social media campaign to mark its 25th birthday.
Developed by iProspect Manchester, the concept took two months to execute and involved sister agency Carat Media and video production company The Gate.
The campaign encourages customers to submit videos of their pets, with the best content included in an official 25th birthday video to run on ITV Player on Monday 18 April.
Celebrity pets on Instagram were used to launch the campaign, and there's a dedicated Tumblr page to host the video and gif content.
A spokesman for Cheshire-headquartered Pets at Home said: "We loved iProspect Manchester's idea of teaming up with some of the UK's biggest social media stars to help us kickstart the campaign and they didn't disappoint us.
"Their performances in the teaser video were very cute and entertaining and their involvement in the campaign has already created a lot of buzz and excitement among their followers. Content submissions are already flooding in and we're excited to see what the final birthday video looks like on 18 April."
To celebrate 25 years of loving pets, we're throwing a #PetsParty and you're invited! Join @brunotheminidachshund @winnythecorgi @famous_magnificats @acornthebunny by sending vids of your pets enjoying the birthday fun!

"If we spent less time on our feet and more time on our knees; and if we spent less time talking with men and more time talking with God; and if we spent less time caring about our neighbors thoughts and more time meditating in prayer on God's Word, we would be more holy, consistent, and reputable. We must be men and women who are above reproach, and in order for this to be the case, we must be men and women on our knees."
Daniel was an exemplary young man. Despite the hard providences of God, he remained faithful. He was not the average teenager, and even the pagan Babylonians recognized this fact. Daniel was a youngster without reproach.
Daniel remained an exemplary worshiper as he walked through middle age. As the years mounted, his faithfulness before his God faltered not. It mattered not the situation or the king; for better or for worse; for richer or for poorer; Daniel remained the Lord's man. He was one who would worship none other. He was one in whom the Spirit of God rested. And he was one who could be counted on to express the infallible wisdom of God without apology. Daniel's testimony suffered no mid-life crisis. He was a middle-aged man above reproach.
Daniel, in his old age, remained faithful. All about him changed. Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, and the Babylonian dynasty had come and gone. Darius and the Medes now reigned supreme. However, Daniel's faithfulness before his God changed not. As a man, as an elder, as a worshiper, as a neighbor, as a subject, and as a political servant, he was above reproach. And even his political enemies recognized this fact:
Then this Daniel became distinguished above all the other high officials and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him. And the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. Then the high officials and the satraps sought to find a ground for complaint against Daniel with regard to the kingdom, but they could find no ground for complaint or any fault, because he was faithful, and no error or fault was found in him. Then these men said, "We shall not find any ground for complaint against this Daniel unless we find it in connection with the law of his God." (Daniel 6:3-5)
Daniel's enemies wished to take him down a notch. They wished to remove him from his influential post. They wished to see him executed. However, upon fully vetting their opponent, no weak points could be found. No sexual indiscretion could be uncovered or hidden interns found in the closet. He had not misused corporate or public funds. He was not noted for being a power-hungry bully or self-serving extortionist. One could "read his lips" and count on him keeping every word. No sexts (sexual texting) were found on the web; no elevator videos could damn him, and no emails were mysteriously found missing. No, Daniel was a gracious servant leader who for decades modeled a love for God and his fellow man. In Babylon, there was not a judge or jury who would even hear a case against him. Any accusations would be laughable, unless someone accused him of faithfully worshiping his God and spending too much time and energy in prayer. Throughout his life, and to the end, Daniel was a man whose testimony was stellar. He was a man above reproach.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to marry such a man? How happy would be the wife whose husband loved God more than her? She would be so cherished and protected. She would be so honored and adored. She would be so improved by the man who regularly fell on his knees in prayer, and then remained there in loving service to his beloved. He could not do her wrong, for long, for he would sense the lack of intimacy in his hours of prayer and would desire to repent and reconcile with incredible haste.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to be fathered by such a man? He would spend himself providing well for his household, and any act of discipline would not be to safeguard his reputation, but to elevate, improve, and sanctify his children. Because he was regularly found on his knees asking for wisdom, he would be given such wisdom in abundance and would be a more than adequate leader, guide and counselor.
And wouldn't it be wonderful to work for such a man? His business would be more likely to thrive due to his work ethic, honesty, and charity. He would keep his word with his customers and his employees. Upon his passing, thousands of those graced by his life would gather to celebrate his legacy.
And wouldn't it be wonderful to be pastored or eldered by such a man? He would be a team player and not a ecclesiastical monarch. He would be less concerned with the opinions of made men, wealthy men, influential men, angry men, lost men, and friendly men, and more interested in proclaiming the unvarnished words of God. Therefore, his congregation would consider themselves blessed, and they would follow without fearing what may come to light in coming days.
And wouldn't it be wonderful to elect and be publicly served by such a man? Oh that God would give us political leaders who are political servants who are petitioners of the Most High God. Aren't we weary of sexual scandal? Aren't we weary of self-serving legislators? Aren't we weary of men removing the Scripture from public schools and offices, and wouldn't we rather have men known for callouses on their knees due to their consistent habit of prayer? What we need are men above reproach!
And wouldn't it be wonderful to be such a man? Wouldn't we like this to be said about us? Wouldn't this make an incredible eulogy or inscribed epitaph on our grave stones? This may not be our history, but it can be our future. We can do nothing about the horrible inconsistencies and transgressions of yesterday, but we can honor the Lord and love our neighbor by seeking to be such men of integrity today and tomorrow.
And how might we make progress towards such a noble end? Daniel's prayer life is the key. If we spent less time on our feet and more time on our knees; and if we spent less time talking with men and more time talking with God; and if we spent less time caring about our neighbors thoughts and more time meditating in prayer on God's Word, we would be more holy, consistent, and reputable. We must be men and women who are above reproach, and in order for this to be the case, we must be men and women on our knees.

As a proud English expat living in California, I know first-hand how challenging it can be for Americans to understand us British. Whilst I love both countries (I have to, my wife is American!), there are times where both the English culture and vocabulary can cause much confusion amongst Americans, especially in the workplace.
As Acceleration Partners has just launched in the UK and EMEA region, I thought I would take this chance to translate some of the phrases one is likely to hear from their British colleagues, especially if they work in the affiliate marketing space.
BP= British person
AT= American translation
BP – I'm slightly concerned with the performance of this publisher, we should probably look at pausing them in the programme.
AT – I'm extremely worried about the performance of this publisher, we should remove them from the program immediately!
BP – I'm chuffed to bits with the results of that re-engagement campaign
AT – I'm very happy with the results of that re-engagement campaign
BP – Whose brew round is it?
AT- Who is going to make me a cup of tea?
BP – Ta for getting me that report
AT- Thanks for sending me that report
BP – Howay man, come for a couple of jars after work?
AT – Would you like to come to the pub to have a few beers after work?
BP– I dropped a clanger at work today
AT – I made a mistake at work today and really embarrassed myself
BP – This affiliate is the dog's bollocks
AT – This affiliate is the best partner ever
BP –That advertiser is not too bad to work with
AT – That advertiser is very good to work with
BP – Kevin has really been slacking with this EOM reporting, I'm going to stick a rocket up his backside
AT – Kevin hasn't done any of his EOM reporting, I need to have chat with him make sure he gets it done as soon as possible
BP – I was so knackered after work yesterday
AT– I was extremely tired after work yesterday.
I hope this serves as useful reference when working with your British counterparts. If you only take away one point from this post, remember that making a good brew (tea) is an easy way to win us over!
On a more serious note, there are many differences when running an affiliate program in the UK. As Robert Glazer quite rightly points out in his book Performance Partnerships, "Almost the entire UK affiliate industry is based in London and members of the industry naturally connect quite regularly."
As a result, if you're in London on business, don't be surprised if you're invited to a meeting at the pub. It's where some of the best affiliate relationships are made!
With having hundreds of employees across dozens of countries, Acceleration Partners is uniquely positioned to effectively manage affiliate programs globally. Learn more about our approach to global affiliate program management on our Global Services page.

Over one million New Zealanders nonetheless stay in damp and draughty homes. Harrisons supply a complete vary of house vitality options to enhance the consolation of your house.
Transferring From Coexisting To Really Enjoying Your Lives Collectively: Hopefully you possibly can gradually change your outlook so that you're no longer thinking that coexisting is one of the best you could hope for. If you cannot but envision this, then perhaps you can make a very aware effort to place extra pleasure into your life outdoors of your household. Maybe this implies going out with buddies sometimes, taking a class, or pursuing a passion. This isn't meant to be a substitute to your house life. It's meant to present you some reprieve and a extra positive outlook in order that this will carry over into your home life and finally improve it.
Can I make a home enterprise out of this? Yes! You can work half or full time educating others on how you can stay a natural way of life. Most individuals do not know about all of the toxins which might be lurking in their residence. In case you are fascinated within the business alternative or on how to be a referral member, go away a comment on the post or shoot me an e-mail.
These chemical follies are now well known. People are broadly uncovered to toxic chemical substances that escape from on a regular basis products, plastics, coatings and other supplies. And the scientific evidence steadily mounts. Publicity to poisonous chemical compounds harms mind development, increases cancer risk, messes with human copy, wreaks hormone havoc, triggers bronchial asthma and allergies, and more.
Watering: over-watering is the primary killer of houseplants. Nearly all of plants on my record wish to be totally watered (some water starts to seep out of pot) and then left alone till the highest inch or two of soil is dry earlier than watering again (check this by sticking a finger in). Resist the urge to over-water if your plant seems sick!! It is always better to under-water as soggy plants can rot, and decay is a death sentence.
