Celiac.com 08/17/2008 - One of the important ways doctors distinguish between the two types of refractory celiac disease is by looking at differences in intra-epithelial T lymphocytes (IELs) in intestinal biopsies. People with refractory celiac disease who show normal IELs are said to have refractory celiac disease I, while those with abnormal IELs are said to have refractory celiac disease II.
A team of doctors based in the Netherlands recently set out to assess the effectiveness of computed tomography (CT) in diagnosing refractory celiac disease, and enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL). EATL is a generally rare, but particularly aggressive form of bowel cancer that is the leading cause of death in adults with celiac disease.
The team looked at 46 patients with clinically proven celiac disease, refractory celiac disease I, refractory celiac disease II, or EATL including 18 males and twenty-eight females. The first group contained 14 patients with uncomplicated celiac disease and 10 with type I refractory celiac disease. The second group contained 15 patients with type II refractory celiac disease and 7 patients with EATL. 5 patients from group II showed lymphandenopathy, compared to none in the first group. 20 patients from group I showed a higher number of small mesenteric vessels compared to just 11 from group II.
This is significant because increased numbers of small mesenteric vessels are associated with an absence of refractory celiac disease II and EATL, while reduced numbers of small mesenteric vessels are associated with a higher rate of refractory celiac disease II and EATL.
The team evaluated the two groups within eleven categories: abnormal intestinal fold patterns; bowel wall thickness, excess fluid; intestinal insussuction; ascites; lymphadenopathy; increases in lymph node numbers; mesenteric vascular changes; and spleen size. One other area the doctors found important was in differences in the average thickness of the bowel wall. Group I showed thinner bowel walls compared to group II. In group I, average bowel thickness ranged from 4mm to 11mm, with an average thickness of 7.0mm. In group II, average bowel thickness ranged from 5mm to 15mm, with an average thickness of 10.0mm. So, group II showed about 30% thicker bowel walls than group I.
The doctors' conclusions reaffirmed the need for a biopsy before confirming a diagnosis of celiac disease. Regarding the use of CT, the team found CT unnecessary for cases of uncomplicated celiac disease, but found CT very useful in cases of complicated and pre-cancerous celiac disease.
The study team also found that pattern reversal and/or loss of jejunal folds is specific to celiac disease, though they had an admittedly small sample of just 24 of their 46 patients, so their measures are far from definitive.
All of this drives home the importance of encouraging early and accurate screening for celiac disease. Ideally, we will get to the point where, like many European countries, we will begin to catch celiac disease before it ever becomes refractory, and before it ever develops into EATL.
Until then, stay informed and take an active role in maintaining your own health.

Living here at The Potterosa is more than just an opportunity to stay clean and sober (though without that, you lose everything else anyway). We do so much more than that. We have various functions that will prove to our lodgers that there is life after alcohol. You don't have to be loaded to have a good time. Have you ever tried Karaoke sober? Probably not. Well you will if you live here for long. We do that, we have game nights, movie nights, sober jams, barbecues…all sorts of things to keep you occupied. We also work together in our garden
and various community projects that make this a better and more beautiful place for us all.
and various community projects that make this a better and more beautiful place for us all.
There is a line in the Big Book which says: "Each day, somewhere in the world, recovery begins when one alcoholic talks with another alcoholic, sharing experience, strength, and hope." Well, that's what happens here at The Potterosa. Day after day, week after week, month after month we share our pains, our joys, our triumphs and defeats. You know why? Because that's life. And for the first time in many of these people's lives, they are learning to live life on life's terms. We help those who want it through the twelve step program of recovery and share our own experience on how we did it. You won't be judged or preached at here. You will hear the experience of others who made this journey before you. Hopefully you will glean something from that.
By the time most of us get beaten down by alcohol or drugs to the point where we end up in a place like The Potterosa, depression has become a pretty big and regular part of our lives. Alcoholics often tell us they feel as if they are depressed. Well, let's take a look at that. In most cases, these people have been pouring a central nervous system depressant into their systems by the fifth, quart, or even the half gallon or gallon on a daily basis for months or years. Yep, sure enough…you're depressed. What we want to show you is that once you put the plug in the jug, you can start to live again. We eat right (well mostly), we advocate exercise, sunshine, fresh air…all of the stuff alcoholics and addicts have been hiding indoors from for far too long. Come on out and get refreshed.
This is where we learn to become useful and productive members of society again. The Potterosa is in the process of setting up various training programs and we also can help you with resumes, mock interviews, and offering online access for job hunting and posting for positions. Many of our lodgers have started out early in the mornings at Work Force, Labor Ready, Command Staffing, and the like and have been successful in finding day labor which has turned into full time positions on several occasions. Alcoholics are a very diverse crowd. Many of these people have held many jobs in many different fields. All they need is a bit of confidence building and some organization to get back on track once they sober up for a while.

Lawyers for Mary Boone, the veteran art dealer who is facing possible prison time for filing false tax returns, are asking that she be spared incarceration, saying her offenses were the product of trauma, not greed.
Ms. Boone is scheduled to be sentenced later this month after pleading guilty last September to two counts of filing false returns for 2011 for herself and her gallery. Federal authorities had charged her with reporting a false business loss and claiming about $1.6 million in personal expenses as business deductions.
Each of the two counts carries a possible penalty of three years in prison.
But in a memorandum to Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein of Federal District Court in Manhattan, Ms. Boone's lawyers asked that she be sentenced instead to home confinement and probation with up to 1,000 hours of community service. Her troubled and unstable childhood led to mental health issues, a suicide attempt and drug and alcohol abuse, they wrote, and played a role in the crimes she committed. In particular, they said the poverty of her early life had left her fearful that, despite her success, she would end up destitute and dependent upon others.
"Behind the facade of success and strength lies a fragile and, at times, broken individual," the lawyers wrote in the filing made last month.
The lawyers, Robert S. Fink and Michael Sardar, sent the judge a psychological evaluation of Ms. Boone and more than 100 letters attesting to her character from friends, artists, collectors and other art-world luminaries, including the Chinese artist and dissident Ai Weiwei and the collector and philanthropist Peter Brant.
Prosecutors, who have yet to file a reply memo, according to court records, declined to comment on Monday. When Ms. Boone pleaded guilty to filing false returns for 2011, prosecutors said she had engaged in similar schemes in the previous two years.
Defendants routinely ask judges for leniency — requests that are often contested by prosecutors.
Ms. Boone opened her gallery in Soho in 1977 and rose to prominence while showing the work of artists like Julian Schnabel and Jean-Michel Basquiat. A vivacious and sometimes imposing figure, she became a constant in the ever-changing art world, continuing over decades to show the work of younger artists.
According to her lawyers, Ms. Boone's father died at the age of 29, when she was 3, leading to a childhood filled with "abject poverty" and grief. Her drive to succeed, they wrote, was fueled by a fear that she would "end up penniless, like her mother, and die young, like her father."
Psychological examinations show that Ms. Boone suffers from anxiety, depression and post-traumatic symptoms, her lawyers wrote. They argued that keeping Ms. Boone out of prison would enable an important business, and employer, to remain open and that her strength of character was evident in her successful fight to combat addictions to alcohol and cocaine. She has not used either in 20 years, according to the defense memo.
Ms. Boone is now "repentant and remorseful," her lawyers said, and has paid $6.9 million in taxes, interest and penalties related to her 2009, 2010 and 2011 tax returns.
In his letter to the judge urging leniency at Ms. Boone's sentencing, now set for Jan. 18, Mr. Ai wrote: "Through my contact with Mary I come to know that she is caring with a kind heart."

It's definitely impressive that Kourtney doesn't plan on hiring help. She's a very hands-on mom, so it's nice to see that is going to continue with her third baby.

However, there's a pretty good reason for all of those trees: the kids get their own!
"I take the kids to pick out a little one and we decorate it together," Kourtney shared. How cute is that?
She also shared that her kids, Mason and Penelope Disick, love to help her make gingerbread houses. Yum!

When the last American president to step from the Senate into the White House was in the dawn of his presidency I was a student in Europe. Then as now, Europeans were thrilled by his youth, his cool eloquence, his glamorous wife, and their hopes ran high. Europeans would buy Americans a beer just because of the man we had elected - something I did not experience again until this January, almost half a century later. Then as now, you could make the case that the new American president was more popular among Europeans than any of their own leaders.
Like Barack Obama, John F. Kennedy's chances of reaching the presidency had seemed a long shot. There were many who said the country wasn't ready for a Catholic, just as many predicted Obama's race would defeat him.
Kennedy inherited the disastrous Bay of Pigs regime change plan, and then had to face the most dangerous moment of the Cold War: the Cuban missile crisis. But except for resenting the bullying tactics of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, no one in Europe or beyond could dislike Dwight Eisenhower the way they disliked George W. Bush. Nor did Eisenhower leave behind the ruin that Obama inherits - two wars, a recession verging on depression, and the moral bankruptcy of Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib that has so damaged America's standing around the world. Obama went out of his way to apologize to old Europe for all that had gone before during the previous eight years.
But what a different world it was in Kennedy's time. The Soviet menace drove Western Europe and America together, and their NATO alliance was the barricade which kept that menace at bay. Today there is no over-arching reason for Europe to accept American leadership, and NATO' s mission is no longer clear.
In JFK's day, the trans-Atlantic alliance trumped all others. India was a socialist country more friendly to Russia than the United States, and China lay impoverished under one of the greatest failures of economic and social planning the world has ever devised. Africa was just emerging from colonialism, and countries like Brazil were not then considered players.
Obama caught some of this shift when he remarked how much simpler it had been when Roosevelt and Churchill could sit down and decide the fate of the free world. In the years since the "big two" became the G7, only to be replaced today in importance by the G20.
Never Miss a Beat.

As Germany's Angela Merkel once pointed out, Europe represents a far smaller percentage of the world's population than it used to. And economically the power centers are shifting ever eastward toward Asia. Who could have foreseen in the Kennedy years that America would end up a debtor nation to China?
Today, in the post-Bush world, there is a growing hesitancy to accept American leadership - leadership that was unconditional in JFK's time, at least for the non-Communist world. Obama may be personally popular, but there is no hiding the fact that the United States has badly mismanaged its stewardship of the world economy. And, as in America itself, there is great unease about Obama's heavy- spending ways being the road to salvation. Who can blame Germany for worrying about the certain inflation to follow given memories of the 1920s when a million marks in a wheel barrow wouldn't buy in the afternoon what it had in the morning?
Obama is fighting to save capitalism, as Roosevelt did during the Great Depression, but in much of the world American-style capitalism is discredited, and many would rather see something else emerge. Continental Europeans, whom Americans once scorned for their nanny-state economies, now feel justified in resisting the American model.
The world feels itself in transition. There is nothing to replace America yet, but the role it has played since World War II is weakening and alignments are shifting, toward what no one is sure.
And there is another worry, too. As Kennedy edged the United States further into what would become the mother of all quagmires, Vietnam, there is great unease that Obama may be committing his country's resources into what could become something similar in Afghanistan, and Europe doesn't really want to be there.

Mourinho "Messi or Cristiano? I choose another"
Tottenham coach José Mourinho granted an interview to LiveScore in which they asked him who was the best soccer player of all time. Although many expected him to decide between Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus)who did you have in the Real Madrid, and Leo Messi (Barcelona), the two strongest of the last decade, chose Ronaldo Nazario ahead of them. "Ronaldo, the phenomenon. Cristiano and Leo Messi have had longer races, they have been at the top every day for 15 years. But if we talk strictly about talent and ability, nobody beats the Brazilian. When he was in Barcelona with Bobby Robson I realized I was the best player I had ever seen. "The Portuguese met him in the mid-1990s when he joined the Bobby Robson coaching staff at Barcelona. However, he regrets the ordeal he suffered with knee injuries, which prevented him from being on top for a long time: "The injuries killed a career that could have been even more incredible, but the talent the 19-year-old had was something incredible."

The Trekzone Review
Our self appointed chef, morale officer and Ambassador has been under utilised this season and, unusually for Star Trek, the character himself feels this as well especially in the opening act where he is looking for another job to do… eventually realising that his time with the ship maybe drawing to a close.
The coversation in sickbay between Janeway and Neelix to close the show is probably one of the most obvious 'driving the message' home pieces of dialogue we've had in the franchise for a while now, to my mind it was very clear what the writers wanted the viewer to take away from this episode.

Hey Loves!!
I had to do this post! I get asked so many times on youtube videos, in Instagram messages, of the colour on my lips, and what I'm wearing on my lips! All the time! If I put up a selfie on the Instagram timeline, someone will message me and ask what colour I have on my lips! Lately, all I wear on my lips (If I'm wearing any lip product), are liquid lipsticks.
Never did I EVER, think that I would love Liquid Lipsticks the way that I do now! I even feel so horrible to be saying this, because every time I'm looking at my lipsticks and I look at my lipstick stash, I feel a horrible pain surge through me, a sore heart, for how I've neglected my lipsticks and started using Liquid Lipsticks! 🙁
I can't tell you how many lipsticks I have given away to my friends, because I've just BEEN concentrating on the Liquid Lipsticks! However, this is all with a VALID reason! I have found some AMAZING colours in liquid lipsticks, that I haven"t really seen in lipsticks, and when that happens, why would I leave it behind though? LOL
- There are colours for any time of the day, season of the year, event, or occasion.
- Kiss Proof and in some cases, Smudge Proof too. They don't budge (unless you're making it your life's mission to do so, lol).
- They can be inexpensive too, for example (Nyx Cosmetics Lip Lingerie, Colourpop Liquid Lipsticks)
- Long Lasting! Hours can go by without you having to re-apply!
- They dry down Matte. Sometimes a girl just needs a matte lip okay?!!! 🙂
- They can be DRYING!! Goodness you have to make sure you MOISTURIZE your lips thoroughly before ever attempting to apply Liquid Lipsticks!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!! JUST DO IT!
- They can be a pain to remove! You definitely need a facial wipe, or even sometimes a cleansing oil to properly remove liquid lipsticks.
- They can dry flakey, and make your lips looked cracked and just make you look like you're going through all the struggles, LOL!
- They can be soooo pricey too! Like ridiculous, sell your kidney to get one, kind of pricey! (EG. Kylie Liquid Lipsticks, Huda Beauty, Kat Von D, Anastasia Beverley Hills).
Even with the cons, I've found myself REALLY loving liquid lipsticks right throughout the year…! I really just can't get enough of them! Really want to by some more from some different brands soon! 🙂
Some of my fave Liquid Lippies are from Anastasia Beverly Hills, Nyx Cosmetics, Kat Von D, Colourpop and Stila! I find myself going for these brands ESPECIALLY when I'm looking to buy a new lippie! If you know me, you will also know that NUDE is my LANE!! I do have deeper colours, but most of my liquid lip collection is nude! Some of my faves are:
- ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS– "Veronica" and "Ashton". R500 a pop!
- STILA COSMETICS– "Carmello", "Dolce","Notte", "Patina", "Ricco". I pretty much love all of them, and I have maybe about 10-15 from Stila! Probably my fave LL brand.
- NYX Cosmetics LIP LINGERIE– "Embellishment", "Beauty Mark", "Teddy". Another brand that I love! Around R140
- Colourpop- "Are and Be", "Cheap Thrills", "Chilly Chilli", "Tulle" and "Lax". Around R200 a pop.
- KAT VON D– "Bow and Arrow", "Lolita". R500 a pop!
What are some of your favourite liquid lipsticks? Do you love them? Hate them? Let me know! Let me know! I'd love to try some new Liquid Lipstick brands!
Until the next one
Live in Light and Love <3

I haven't read anything by her but I see that she wrote Howl's Moving Castle, and mostly wrote fantasy. Thank you for mentioning this. I'm definitely more inclined to read something by her now.
V. C. Andrews, known for the 'Flowers In The Attic' series, also wrote novels featuring cousin/cousin canon relationships. Some person on reddit told me this. People might already know that, but I didn't know… 🙂

Happy Birthday, Jeff
Jeff always was a moose. On his sister's second birthday, when he was 11 months old, she weighed 21 pounds, and he was 25. No matter, she would tell him she was the leader. If he disobeyed, she'd tell him she was bigger, and slug him. Until the day he pushed her down.
I still think he's a mighty handsome guy.
I sent him a King Cake, and a present, by UPS overnight. After all, a guy only has one 21st birthday.

Philadelphia Christmas Bar Tinsel Opens This Week in Center City
Philadelphia Christmas Bar Tinsel Opens This Week in Center City
Teddy Sourias and Craft Concepts Group announce the season grand opening of Tinsel
Tinsel is Philadelphia's ONLY home-grown Christmas Bar that will bring even more Christmas cheer into the space formerly occupied by Simpson's Jewelry in Midtown Village. Tinsel debuted to capacity crowds every single day it was open last year. Tinsel was originally opened in less than three weeks when Simpson's moved out of the space next to Finn McCool's. This year, Craft Concepts Group spent months on raising the ceilings, breaking through the walls, exposing the original grand staircase, lengthening the bar and creating even more space for holiday revelry.
"Craft Concepts Group is proud to pack even more Christmas cheer into Tinsel Christmas Pop-up Bar for the 2018 holiday season," said Sourias. "In 2017, we purchased the 116 S. 12th Street building for future development. We opened Tinsel as a temporary concept to showcase our creativity and have some fun in between projects. We had no idea the concept would take off like it did. We were at full capacity with a line from day one to New Year's. Tinsel's popularity made our team want to bring back the concept and go even bigger this year. We expanded the space and created new design elements. We wanted to create one of the best Christmas bars in the country – with the intimacy of a smaller space, room to mix and mingle, with over-the-top decorations. After the opening of our largest project, Tradesman's, Tinsel lets our team show off their creative chops and really have fun for the holidays. Come spend the holiday with us!"
Tinsel will offer a full selection of liquor and spirits, Christmas cocktails and all-specialty Christmas beer drafts. Eight draft lines will pour draft beer and draft cocktails. Draft beers will focus on American and Belgium holiday specialty ales and beers throughout the season – with starting selections being:
* Troegs Mad Elf – Cheerful ruby red creation reminiscent of ripened cherries, raw honey and cocoa with notes of cinnamon, clove and allspice. 11.0%, $8
* Sly Fox Christmas Ale – Expressive mulling spices swirl and mingle in this full-bodied red ale. With one sip you'll know the holidays are here. 6.3%, $7
* Sierra Celebration Ale – One of the few hop-forward holiday beers. Famous for its intense citrus and pine aromas, Celebration is bold and intense, featuring Cascade, Centennial and Chinook hops. 6.8%, $7
Christmas Cocktails will range from $10.00 to $13.00, with three new cocktails ranging up to $18.00 with a take-home keepsake gift. The opening menu is as follows:
Visions of Sugarplums | $13
Sly Fox Christmas Ale | $7
Sierra Celebration Ale | $7
3 Philosophers Ommegang | $8
* Wine
House Red Merlot | $10
House White Reisling | $10

Arianespace launch of a Vega Rocket
Arianespace was scheduled to launch a Vega rocket as part of the LISA Pathfinder mission. The launch window for the Astrophysics mission was on Wed, Dec 2nd, 2015, 11:04 PM EST from Ariane Launch Area 1, Kourou. The status of the launch was Success. Don't miss this exciting rocket launch! Watch the launch video of the Vega and experience the excitement for yourself.
LISA Pathfinder
LISA Pathfinder will pave the way for future missions by testing in flight the very concept of gravitational wave detection: it will put two test masses in a near-perfect gravitational free-fall and control and measure their motion with unprecedented accuracy. LISA Pathfinder will use the latest technology to minimise the extra forces on the test masses, and to take measurements. The inertial sensors, the laser metrology system, the drag-free control system and an ultra-precise micro-propulsion system make this a highly unusual mission.
Ariane Launch Area 1, Kourou
Vega is the smallest lifter in the current Arianespace family.Arianespace
Arianespace SA is a multinational company founded in 1980 as the world's first commercial launch service provider. It undertakes the production, operation, and marketing of the Ariane programme. Their vehicles launch exclusively from French Guiana in South America.

The pinstriping and tail panels are painted, time to get the gloss coat on and the canopy masked up ready for paint. Then I suppose it's on to my least favourite part, decals.
The pinstriping and tail panels are painted, time to get the gloss coat on and the canopy masked up ready for paint. Then I suppose it's on to my least favourite part, decals.
I don't know about you guys but I love this bit, removing the masking from the main scheme and you really get the sense of what the finished article is going to look like. Anyway having removed the masking I now need to add a load more masking in order to paint the red pinstripes and tail sections.
Time for another quick update on the Vampire, the main colour is going on nicely, for this I am using a mix of Vallejo Green Black with a couple of extra drops of black to darken a little more. Its going on quite nice so another light coat or two and I should be done and ready to paint the red pinstripes and the tail panels.
I am loving this Mr Color paint, and no that's not just the fumes talking. This is the first time I have ever used this range of paints and after a couple of disasters trying to thin the paint with various incorrect thinners I finally got a bottle of Mr Color Self Levelling Thinners and a quick test shoot confirmed I should have got the correct thinners from the start as this sprayed beautifully through the 0.2mm with a basic 50:50 mix ratio.
I can certainly see me using more of Mr Color in the future, but in the mean time the main Black Green is going to be supplied courtesy of the Vallejo Model Air range of colours.
Well its time for another little update on the Vampire, with all the main airframe construction complete and the Mr Surfacer all cured and sanded it was time to move towards paint so the model was primed with the ever faithful Tamiya Fine, although I will be trialling a new primer on my next build.
Now being relatively new to this preshading malarky it was time for another first for me, a multi-coloured preshade. On this occasion as part of the wings and tailbooms along with the drop tanks are going to be getting painted a yellow colour I have preshaded these parts in Orange, we shall see how this works out shortly as thats her masked up ready for the first coats of Mr Color Chrome Yellow.
So whilst this isnt quite a ressurection of the undead from beyond the grave I thought it about time we did some more work to the Vampire build. I had a few issues with the fit of the intakes, this seems to be a common issue for me and I am starting to wonder if it's the way I am building the kits.
With the benefit of hindsight I don't think I would follow the construction order given in the instructions for this if I was to build these parts again I think I would either attach the intake to one half of a wing, attach this to the fuselage then complete with the other half of the wing, or attach the intake to the fuselage first, then put the wing in place before the glue between the wing halves cures just so I can move all the parts in relation to one another to try and get the best possible fit.
However it is what it is and I have a slight step and some gaps to deal with so I go with my tried and tested method of Mr Surfacer 1000 to address this issue. Here's some photo's waiting for the 2nd coat of Mr Surfacer to cure after the inital coat was sanded.
It's finally time to get back to sticking some plastic together! I've been working on the Vampire again and have managed to get the fuslage shut and the main parts of the wings together. This was fairly uneventful although I have been left with a small step at one of the wing roots which I am not sure how to address without losing some of the fine rivet engraving etc. I may just have to try and reinstate this after some remedial work is carried out.

Data Sharing Community
Welcome to the Portal of the CDQ Data Sharing Community
The CDQ Data Sharing Community is a trusted network of user companies to manage business partner data collaboratively.
Collaboration Fraud protection CDQ data model Apps API Support
Metadata management · Data quality rules · Reference data · Procedures · Capabilities/Address Cleansing and Enrichment
Data Sharing
Business partner data management is heavily redundant: Many companies manage data for the same entities such as country names and codes, bill-to, ship-to, and ordering addresses, or legal hierarchies of customers and suppliers. The CDQ collaboration approach is based on a trusted network of user companies that share and collaborativelay maintain this data.
Data model
An important prerequisite for collaborative data management is a common understanding of the shared data. For the CDQ Data Sharing Community, this common understanding is specified by the CDQ Data Model. The concepts of this model are defined and documented in this wiki which can be used as a business vocabulary. Moreover, the wiki provides a machine-readable interface to reuse this metadata by using semantic annotations.
Data maintenance procedures
A procedure is a common standard or "how-to" for a specific data management task. Within the CDQ Data Sharing Community, companies agree on such procedures to ensure similar rules and guidelines for similar tasks. By selecting a country, the metadata repository is queried for any kind of information which is available for this country. That means, the for each country the
are searched in the repository. In addition there further country specific information such as address formats is displayed.
CDQ Apps
Most CDQ cloud services are provided by the CDQ API. Beside these technical interfaces, some functionality is also provided by web applications at https://apps.cdq.ch. This website simplifies using some more complex services such as address curation, duplicate matching, or payment fraud protection
For easy development, discovery, and integration visit our supporting documentation
Reference data
Data quality rules
Data quality rules are are a special type of business rules that measure and ensure data quality. Currently, 1171 data quality rules are checked to ensure a high level of data quality. Each business rule is documented in a form that is understandable by business users referencing the defined data model concepts in the rule definitions.The standardization approach of the data quality standard across the community is a collaborative endeavor and managed by CDQ. Rules need to be analyzed and adapted on a permanent basis. Existing rules may become inapplicable, or it may be necessary to introduce new rules. Some business rules specify which data values are valid for specific attributes. For this purpose, reference data is collected and documented on these pages (e.g. countries). Integrating new reference data usually goes along with the adaptation of an existing business rule or the creation of new ones.
Fraud protection
Companies are facing an ever increasing number of digitized frauds, meanwhile on a very professional level. Among other types, falsified invoices are causing significant financial damage, in some cases more than 1 Mio. USD by just one attack. One critical challenge to uncover those fraud attacks is to identify bank accounts (e.g. given by an invoice) which are not owned by the declared business partner (e.g. the supplier of an invoice) but by a third party, i.e. the attacker. The CDQ Data Sharing community is addressing this challenge by sharing information on known fraud cases and on proven bank accounts. The Fraud Case Database comprises known fraud cases, shared by community members. Other members can lookup these cases by bank account data (e.g. IBAN) to automate screening for critical accounts. On the other hand, the Whitelist comprises bank accounts which are declared "save" by community members. You can lookup shared Trust Scores to check a new bank account and to ensure that this account is already used by another member.

Our Team
North Sydney, NSW
John van der Vegt
National Head of Agriculture
John has spent 26 of his 28 insurance broking years dedicated to servicing the needs of agricultural clients at AgriRisk. Seeing a gap in the market over 20 years ago with very few products available to farmers, John and his business partner Steven Green established AgriRisk to fill the void by working with insurers to develop niche products that suited a variety of agricultural industries including cotton, broadacre and forestry.
There's few people with more first hand knowledge of the agricultural insurance market and John not only knows where to access product and how to modify covers to meet client requirements but drives new products that he knows will meet the varied needs of farmers.
At the helm of AgriRisk, John is responsible for its overall management and servicing some of the larger corporate accounts. He firmly believes that the business offers a unique service to its clients, most notably in taking the time to understand growers' needs, maintaining consistent, long term face-to-face service and always looking for new ways to manage agricultural risk.

A crop specialist, Dee's role at AgriRisk includes managing a portfolio of corporate agribusinesses, primarily cotton and broadacre farmers and plantation owners. She's also responsible for Group Marketing and Advertising as well as delivering internal training programs to ensure staff are fully competent in the products we deal with.
Dee strives to demystify insurance by understanding her clients needs and providing relevant and appropriate solutions. Whilst the products can be complex, Dee works to keep it simple and easy for clients to understand. Dee works with integrity and honesty and is always prepared to go the extra mile negotiating hard on her clients behalf.

Review: Skylight- Theatr Clwyd
By Kara Beth Davies, Egwyl Editor
Skylight, David Hare's award winning play is currently at Theatr Clwyd and is directed by the theatre's very own Artistic Director, Tamara Harvey.
The amount of humour, passion and emotion in this play has been used in such fantastic ways. One minute you're laughing, the next minute you are on the edge of your seat with the drama and the passion, then you're struck with the emotion of this complicated narrative of love.
Jenny Spark, who plays Kyra, conveys perfect amounts of light and shade throughout the play. She can be incredibly funny and witty and is able to make the transition to portray a more serious side to her character. Her ability to chop an onion (mid-performance) without even shedding a tear is very impressive! As a character, Kyra is a very independent, but that is until one person re-enters her life.
Tom, played by Jay Villiers, adds to the intensity of a complicated romance. Tom and Kyra have some beautiful scenes together delving into the past, juxtaposed with frustrations of their feelings towards one another. However, he has some hilarious one liners which are guaranteed to get the audience laughing.
Rounding off the cast of three is Oscar Batterham as the young and naive Edward. I commend him for his attire of double denim, an obvious fashion crime of today, but representative of the time period.
It almost feels like you're looking through a window into the lives of these people. You can just sit there and watch the drama unfold. At one point I actually forgot that I was in a theatre. I love the set design for this piece, the minor details that were thought of to create this set is something that I appreciate greatly.
The story makes you want more. I would definitely recommend going to see this. It's reasonably priced and there are some student priced tickets too. Skylight runs until March 4. Click here for tickets and more information.
To whet your appetite, you can watch our interview with Oscar Batterham below.

Reports of a state budget deal for the 2020 fiscal year is good news for the school district. The agreement between Governor Stitt, House Speaker McCall, and Senate President Pro Tempore Greg Treat is to provide a $157.7 million increase for common education. The agreement should fund:
BPSD will use the formula funding to address the previously published 2019-20 budget priorities:
Currently projecting a slight decline in the fund balance
The district was already facing a $440,000 reduction in state aid in 2019-20 due to enrollment drops in previous years; district funding is based on the highest weighted average daily membership over the past three years.
All of the projected new revenue from the state will likely NOT be sufficient to fully cover:
Building fund improvements should help
The district's building fund has been burdened with lease purchase interest payments, but those will end this summer. The consequent improving balance in the building fund should provide the district enough flexibility that the projected drop in the General Fund's balance is not a major concern.
Bond issues will remain vital
Because the General Fund balance is expected to drop, the district will remain heavily reliant on current and future bond issues to meet operating costs for technology hardware and services, maintenance, curricular purchases, and so forth. Voters will be asked to consider a new bond issue on August 13, 2019 to provide funding for bondable operational costs as well as facility improvements.
Even with the increase in state funding, Oklahoma will remain last in the region in per-pupil funding. Continued increases in state funding will be needed.
Oklahoma Senate President Pro Tempore Greg Treat, Governor Kevin Stitt, State Superintendent of Schools Joy Hofmeister, and Oklahoma House of Representatives Speaker Charles McCall announced a state budget agreement on May 15, 2019

This article helps you to create your own Virtual Lab setup in Linux using Oracle Virtual Box. In this quick guide, you will find out the installation steps and the VM creation from CLI. Check out the Video for More details and find the steps to setup the Virtual Lab.
Virtual Box
Virtual Box is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware, targeted at server, desktop, and embedded use. This product currently being developed by Oracle Corporation.
- Virtual Box is cross-platform capable, VM created on one host can easily run on another using OVF format.
- Supports remote folder sharing.
- Supports Snapshots.
- Free and Open source.
- Virtual Box disks support encryption with VirtualBox extension packs installed.
- Supports USB 3.0 devices with extension pack.
- Support limiting network bandwidth for the guest VMs.
LAB Details and Pre-Req's
In this session, I am going to demonstrate Virtual Box Installation on a Linux machine. Details are:
Host : CentOS 7.3 x86_64
Host Platform: VMware Workstation 12
Hardware Virtualization: AMD-v/Intel VT-x
Host Network: VM have 02 vNICs
VNIC1: Host Only (Host Only Connectivity) 126.96.36.199/24
vNIC2 : Bridged (Internet Connectivity) 192.168.1.20/24
VirtualBox Version : 5.1.x86_64
In this lab, we are going to install VirtualBox and going to create an RHEL 7 VM.
Also, check out the below video for More details:
Update the system and install the pre-requisite packages for Virtual Box to work.
# yum update -y
# yum install gcc make kernel-devel -y
Not mandatory, but let's install "X Windows" for an easy look into the Virtual Box issues if any.
# yum groupinstall "X Window System"
Take a reboot of the system.
# init 6
Installation of VirtualBox
Step 1: Download the latest available versions of Virtual Box software from the download page of the product.
Step 2: Once software installers downloaded (they are rpm's generally), transfer those to the machine going to be configured.
Step 3: Install the Virtualbox RPM.
# yum localinstall /software/VirtualBox-5.1-5.1.18_114002_el7-1.x86_64.rpm
# /sbin/vboxconfig
"vboxconfig" will install, configure the virtual box modules and start the service.
Validate the Installation
# vboxmanage –version
vboxmanage is the CLI provided by the Virtual Box package.
Steps to Create a VM:
Set the Path of Virtual Machine
# vboxmanage setproperty machinefolder /vm_store/virtual_machines
Create a VM Container and register it.
# VBoxManage createvm --name "demovm" --register
Create a vDisk for the VM. This file will be presented to the VM as a virtual disk.
# VBoxManage createvdi --filename /vm_store/virtual_machines/demovm/demovm-vdisk01.vdi --size 6000
In this example, disk size will be 6G and disk type will be vdi.
List OS types supported by installed Virtual Box software.
# VBoxManage list ostypes
Configure the compute, networking and container operating system support.
# VBoxManage modifyvm "demovm" --cpus 1 --memory 1024 --acpi on --boot1 dvd --nic1 bridged --bridgeadapter1 eth0 --cableconnected on --ostype RedHat_64
Create Storage IDE controller and attach to the VM.
# VBoxManage storagectl "demovm" --name "SATA Controller" --add sata
Attached the vDisk and the ISO image for the operating system installation.
# VBoxManage storageattach "demovm" --storagectl "SATA Controller" --port 0 --device 0 --type hdd --medium /vm_store/virtual_machines/demovm/demovm-vdisk01.vdi
# VBoxManage storageattach "demovm" --storagectl "SATA Controller" --port 1 --device 0 --type dvddrive --medium /vm_store/CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1511.iso

Graphic Novel Review: Mighty Thor: The War Thor
PUBLISHED: 11:36 09 February 2018 | UPDATED: 11:36 09 February 2018
Comics really don't get better than this.
(Panini Books)
I've read a lot of Thor written by a wealth of acclaimed comics creators: Stan Lee, Walt Simonson, Dan Jurgens, Kieron Gillen, Matt Fraction, Warren Ellis, J M Straczynski, Tom DeFalco, Ron Marz…
Jason Aaron is coming close to surpassing them all.
His Tolkienesque epic, which begun with the arrival of the God Butcher and continues into the ongoing War of the Realms, could very well be the Thunder God's finest hour. And ironically, it's not even the son of Odin who is currently wielding Mjolnir, it's the cancer-stricken Dr Jane Foster, living out her final days fighting for the sake of everything she holds dear.
The forces of the dark elf Malkith are ravaging world after world, but when their attentions turn to the dwarf realm of Nidavellir, they bring with them the unquenchable fires of Muspelheim, led by the fire giant Surtur's daughter Sindr, also known as the Queen of Cinders.
After witnessing the horrifying deaths of hundreds of light elf refugees at the hands of Sindr's forces, the once jovial and gentle Volstagg is left traumatised and seeking vengeance. He hears the summons of a Mjolnir left behind from the dead Ultimate Universe, its wielder killed during the events of Secret Wars, and lifts the hammer to become transformed into the War Thor.
Free from conscience, and the living embodiment of wrath, this new incarnation of the Ultimate Thor will stop at nothing to destroy his foes, even if his actions will wipe out the entire realm of Muspelheim, children et al. Only Jane Foster stands in his way, and every time she picks up Mjolnir brings her one step closer to her inevitable demise…
The stakes have never been higher, the risks are life-threatening, and even the original Thor might not be able to save his one-time love from herself. Because that's the emotional wrench at the heart of Aaron's narrative – every time Jane transforms to her Asgardian alter ego undermines her cancer treatment and erodes her mortality, yet she cannot stand back and watch when to do so will cost other innocent lives.
Providing the pay-off to this saga does not disappoint, then it will truly cement Aaron's place in Thor legend. An outstanding read in any medium.

CINCINNATI — A shorthanded Princeton Vikings team gave Wayne all it could handle, but in the end, fell to the Warriors by a score of 56-49.
"Princeton just played tough," Wayne Coach Nathan Martindale said. "They were working extremely hard. [Darweshi] Hunter and [Gabe] O'Neal are just beasts. I really give a lot of credit to Princeton. They hung in there. They really battled, but I give credit to my kids as well. I thought we showed a lot of resilience down the stretch, in the second half. Sometimes you just aren't playing you're a game and you just have to find a way. That's something our kids have done a really good job of this year, with the schedule, we've had. We just have to keep finding a way."
Wayne methodically worked the ball around all around and took what Princeton gave them and in the first quarter, the Warriors had to take jump shots. Wayne also tried to control the pace of the Viking offense by setting up in a full court press from the beginning. This may have been due to the fact that Princeton senior All-American guard/forward Darius Bazley was suspended, leaving the Vikings one ball handler short.
Princeton was able to get itself on the board consistently however because it was able to capitalize on a defensive matchup when 6-foot Quisenberry ended up guarding 6-foot, 7-inch Gabe O'Neal. O'Neal was able to put up a majority of Princeton's first quarter points, but Wayne was able to counter every time. Wayne cruised to a 6 point lead and looked to be in control. However, in the second quarter things changed.
Wayne adjusted to O'Neal's posting up down low by sliding a defender over to help when the ball was dumped to him, but that seemed to be what Princeton wanted. The extra attention given to O'Neal gave senior guard Darweshi Hunter room to operate. Hunter poured in 11 points in the second quarter, one of which was a three pointer with 2 seconds left in the half to give the Vikings a 28-25 lead going into the half. Princeton had stolen the momentum and the lead and seemed to be in total control.
Wayne increased its intensity coming out in the second half, but struggles at the free throw line and a red hot Hunter scoring in the paint kept Princeton from falling too far behind. Wayne was able to get back to a pace it was comfortable with by slowing Princeton's progress up the court and playing with a little more intensity and quickness. Wayne struggled the whole game from behind the arc, hitting only 1 of 7. It also struggled through three quarters at the line, but was able to make up the difference with points off of turnovers. Wayne's intensity allowed it to erase the three point deficit and pull ahead 39-38 going into the fourth quarter.
That's when Wayne's quickness on both sides of the ball made things difficult for Princeton. Wayne was relentless in its defensive set forcing turnovers and bad decisions by the Vikings. Wayne powered ahead down the stretch through pure determination. Though Princeton had a slight height advantage over Wayne, the Warriors score 36 of its 56 points in the paint to the Vikings' 30. The difference in the game was Wayne's 17 points off of 16 Princeton turnovers.
Wayne advances to play an extremely good Moeller team Friday at 7 p.m. at Cintas Center at Xavier University. Moeller made a very good Springfield look inadequate in their game which preceded the Wayne victory. They have a lot of size and athleticism. Wayne can't let up for a second on these guys. Moeller ran up 10 points and put the game out of reach when Springfield let up on its execution for just a minute and a half.
Coach Martindale has seen enough film on them, that he already knows what is ahead for his team.
"Moeller is a great team," Martindale said. "We know that. They are extremely well coached, Division 1 players. We're going to have our hands full. We have to get back and figure out what we are going to do and go for it."
Due to the proximity of Moeller to Xavier University, the Moeller crowd will be out in full effect. They will want to take advantage of the dimensions of Cintas Center to put a lot of pressure on Wayne. The seats in the arena are really close to the action, which can be intimidating at times. Wayne usually travels well, so I'm sure the Wayne faithful will return the favor to the Crusaders.
Wayne: Deshon Parker 10, Darius Quisenberry 24, L'Christian Smith 8, Ronnie Hampton 12, Rashad McKee 2. Totals: 22-11-56.
Princeton: Aaron Ward 4, Gabe O'Neal 17, Khalil Davis 3, Isaiah Kennedy 2, Darweshi Hunter 23. Totals: 18-10-49.
Three-point goals: Wayne 1 (Smith); Princeton 3 (Hunter 2, Davis).
Records: Wayne 25-1, Princeton 23-4.

A package of integrated support products can be used at home, guaranteeing the best possible results and maintenance.

Bush have released Black And White Rainbows, their seventh studio album going back to their 1994 debut on Interscope Records. The new LP is released on frontman Gavin Rossdale's Zuma Rock Records label and contains 15 songs covering 57 minutes.
Hailing from London, England, Bush were one of the most popular rock bands in the '90s with radio hits and fan-favorite albums Sixteen Stone and Razorblade Suitcase. Fast forward to 2017 and they still maintain a strong fanbase, but they haven't necessarily had the same success with their new songs and albums in the new millennium.
On Black and White Rainbows, Rossdale and the band sound a lot like they did 20 years ago, but they have certainly matured — which is a blessing and a curse. Fans should be able to identify the music quickly, but Bush are at their best when they are pushing the boundaries of adrenaline-fueled rock with creative songwriting. The songs here are generally pretty safe.
The risks and experiments that the band takes are generally with electronic production and vocal processing. Unfortunately, some of those techniques rob the music of its human elements and makes things sound less exciting than they would probably be in a more live setting.
It's not that Black And White Rainbows is a bad album. It's a fine album, and certain tracks sound particularly inspired and memorable. Our favorite songs are "Peace-S," "Lost In You," "Nurse," and "The Edge of Love." However, we could have done without "Water," "Ray of Light," and "Dystopia."
Black And White Rainbows is currently available on Amazon. You can also stream the full album above for free, via Spotify.
