Compliance Management at Springer
In 2009 Springer started to build up an effective and transparent Compliance Management System.
That system consists of five pillars:
1. Compliance Office & whistle-blowing
2. Springer's Guideline System
3. Internal communication and trainings
4. Reporting and Compliance Reviews
5. Supplier Code of Conduct and diligence on 3rd party business partners
All of these pillars serve to protect Springer more efficiently from material and immaterial damages.
As a guide for day to day business, ethical principles which comply with local laws and regulations have been defined and implemented. Due to an extension of the organizational and monitoring duties, liability risks should be minimized. The only risks that remain are those which are unforeseeable, which may occur as a result of human errors or misjudgments, or a deliberate violation of these principles.
1. Compliance Office & whistle-blowing system
Thomas Thiekoetter is Springer's Global Compliance Officer. He is available to all employees, suppliers and customers, for consultation and support in all questions concerning compliance, harassment, discrimination or fraud protection.
Thomas Thiekötter has direct access to Springer's Audit Committee. This ensures that breaches or suspicions of breaches of law or internal regulations are dealt with appropriately.
Additionally all employees, suppliers and customers can contact Elke Schaefer, attorney at law. As a neutral and external ombudswoman, Elke Schaefer is obligated to maintain confidentiality as well.
The professional whistle-blowing system BKMS has been implemented in order to strengthen the early disclosure of risks or misconduct, and to protect Springer from material and non-material damage. BKMS is available to all employees and business partners via the Internet and can be used to address non-compliances, complaints or recommendations.
2. Springer's Guideline System
Springer´s System of Guidelines comprises the Code of Conduct, global guidelines which apply to all Springer entities or corporate processes and local guidelines. The Code of Conduct sets out Springer's legal and ethical principles; it is the guide for the day-to-day business to all employees, managers and directors at Springer.
The global and local guidelines provide detailed rules for specific business transactions or for particular countries or entities.
3. Internal communication and training
Springer informs its employees about the Compliance Management System by using different channels and media.
All information and documents about the system are available on Springer´s intranet. Videos explain in an "easy to digest" way the basic principles of Springer's Code of Conduct and some of Springer's major global guidelines.
Additionally eLearning programs have been developed to raise awareness for anti-corruption measurements and potential threats regarding competition and anti-trust compliance.
Finally Springer's Compliance Officer supported by Internal Audit offers sessions at all Springer's locations worldwide to inform local staff about the major components of Springer's Compliance System.
4. Reporting and Compliance Reviews
Springer prepares and distributes twice a year a Compliance Report for the Springer Group summarizing single compliance reports received through the whistle-blowing system and presenting the status of the various ongoing initiatives related to Compliance.
Based on that report the Springer management regularly reviews the effectiveness and efficiency of the Compliance System. The report is distributed to Springer´s owners, BC Partners, to Springer´s Management Board and to external auditors.
Springer has constantly challenged its Compliance System over the last years. Step by step resources, tools and processes have been optimized or amended to meet the changing requirements set by external parties or by Springer itself. Thus Springer is raising compliance awareness and ensures that environmental, safety and health consciousness among its employees and business partners remains at a high level. Springer will continue to develop and adapt its Compliance Management System in the future.
5. Supplier Code of Conduct and diligence on 3rd party business partners
Springer expects from its suppliers to familiarize themselves with and adhere to the business, ethical and environmental, health and safety standards as laid out in Springer´s Supplier Code of Conduct.
Specific suppliers will receive this code of conduct per email. Additionally to ensure compliance with these standards Springer regularly performs supplier audits either as standardized self-declaration request or alternatively as on-site audits performed by experienced Springer auditors.

Between the recession and the transformative rise of e-tail commerce, retail integrators have had to do a lot of adaptation in recent years.
First, the recession hammered the market and the number of new stores opening dropped sharply. Then, as the market was emerging from recession, online shopping morphed from a novelty to a mainstream reality, eating away at in-store retail profits — which integrators naturally depend on.
Despite these challenges, integrators like those listed here are finding a way to thrive in retail.
"Instead of fighting the trends, follow the trend," says Ron Prier, owner of Bowersville, Ga.-based RPAV, a $6 million integrator that does more than 30 percent of its business in retail.

According to Forbes, online sales are growing at 10 times the rate of in-store purchases. So-called e-tail rivals in-store shopping because consumers can shop a wider range of products from the comfort of their own homes, all the while giving invaluable data about their preferences and personal habits to online retailers, enabling future, highly targeted sales. That creates a challenge for retailers and an opportunity for integrators.
"Clients are working very hard to differentiate the in-store experience from the online," says Brock McGinnis, the systems division sales manager for Toronto-based Westbury National Show Systems. "They're increasing their level of service. They're using technology to do that — better sound, better lighting, better-trained staff."

This emphasis on in-store experiences is part of the bigger, more forward-thinking picture, another reason that e-commerce is good news for integrators — at least, those open to change. That's because stores are increasingly looking for ways to merge the in-store and online experiences.
New York City-based Cliqk made waves when it designed dressing rooms for upscale women's clothing store C. Wonder with touchpanels that let shoppers change the music and lighting in their stall and call attendants to request additional merchandise. Now the company is intent on finding ways to bridge the in-store and online commerce gap.
"This all has to deal with the entrenched mindset that these things are separate, and that's just not the case," says Mark Hernandez, Cliqk's president and founder. The now for retail installers is integrating physical stores with online campaigns through networked digital signage, and integrating mobile apps to in-store screens to create customer engagement solutions like loyalty cards or checkout discounts, says Hernandez.
The next frontier, Hernandez says, is helping physical stores collect as much information about consumer habits as possible, much the way that online retailers do. That could mean barcode scanners in dressing rooms to keep inventory counts, and people counters that track not just the flow in and out of the store, but foot-traffic to the various parts of the show floor.
As the market transforms, integrators must continue to solve problems from their clients' perspective.

That's a wrap, people! Thanks for sharing in the harvest. Frozen berries and blueberry wine available by appointment.
Farmstand hours (July & 'til mid-August)Tues – Sat: 8am – 6pm Sun: Noon – 6pm Mon: Closed |
We're the Brian and Michelle O'Driscoll family, and are absolutely thrilled to share our little earthly paradise here with you. Nestled on a splendidly isolated and gorgeous triangle of ground between the South Santiam River and Hamilton Creek, our 12-acre blueberry patch is one of the loveliest you will encounter.
During Fresh season, sometimes we need to close for ripening, and occasionally for rain, so it's always a good idea to call first: 503.819.6209 or 503.816.5529.
A word on Farmers Markets… We don't really do them. The best farmer's market is the farm–no mark-up. Some farms aren't set up for visitors and so need an outlet, but that's not us. Come to the farm, see what it's all about. Or, call to see if we can set up a delivery.
Though the fresh fruit season lasts just through the months of July and August, when we're busily harvesting and filling orders, every month feels like blueberry season. Whether weeding, watering, fertilizing, or painstakingly pruning every one of our nearly 20,000 blueberry bushes, few weekends pass that don't find us in the field or talking blueberries.
And as much as we love blueberries, we invite you to peruse our site here to see what else we're up to. We're pretty excited about some projects in the works, and would love to share more information about them. For instance, many people are curious about The Reed School. Charming piece of history to admire from afar on the drive by? Yes, but much more in store. Think educational, nonprofit, kids, learning life skills, no video games…yep, it's Farm Camp. We think Mrs. Schrader would approve. (For those who don't know, she was the quintessential Old School, spare-the-rod-spoil-the-child, take-no-guff first-grade teacher who set the bar high for many reluctant square dancers back in the day…)

I have a confession: I am a book snob. Blame it on the years of studying and teaching the classics, I just can't help it.
What do 2012-2013 WCHS seniors Maegen Satterly, Candace Kimball, Callah Kimball, David Haydon and Will Begley have in common?

No, I don't mean the Bible, although I read it every day. But for now, I'm referring to the newspaper. "Ahh, the newspaper," you say. "You mean that old dinosaur of the printed era that's somehow managed to stay alive, despite its shrinking advertising revenue and a dwindling subscriber base?" Despite rumors of its demise, the newspaper is surviving and in some instances, thriving.
A funny thing happens when you walk around a city with 11 guys sporting (terrible-looking) mustaches and matching t-shirts. A lot of people notice. I've done field research, so I speak with authority. Last weekend, I traveled south to Nashville with 10 other guys to make sure one of my best friends received a proper bachelor party. I think we were successful. I'm not sure if you've ever been in downtown Nashville late on a weekend evening, but there are quite a few folks out and about.

How BodyTalk Broke My Bad Love Pattern for Good: Part 2
Understanding men was not the problem. The problem was I only understood them if they were in the safe zone of being like a brother or father figure, regardless of their age. My first forays into healing my heart with BodyTalk began with Heather Strang's series on Manifesting Love, the Romance Matrix, Align with True Love, and Become A Love Magnet series. Each session chipped away at the iron curtain fortress around my heart until the encore BodyTalk event she held in March 2013 aptly titled "Understanding Men".
Prior to "Understanding Men", I had individual BodyTalk sessions with Shelley Poovey and Lyn Delmastro, around the time they too were experiencing higher levels of blissful love in their lives. Whatever was resonating among the three BodyTalk goddesses in my life (Heather, Shelley, and Lyn) clearly was preparing me for a heart test in spring. It was during a session with Lyn that the emotional residue of my first love experience with Patrick first came to surface. What was interesting for me was that I thought it was done. Not only had Patrick and I finally cut ties as adults but thanks to EMDR the thought of him generated no response from me. Furthermore, in 2013 when I had participated in Debi Berndt's "Engaged In A Year" program, Debi had brought up Patrick and her work as a hypnotherapist really did clear him out. So I thought.
What was left to address through BodyTalk when it came to my first love's emotional legacy were the fragments of locked feelings in my emotional body. There is a theory that our physical body holds the memory of trauma just like muscle memory can remember maneuvers performed over and over again. Whatever the case, Lyn had identified the stuck places in my emotional body that held pieces of an old heartbreak. By resetting the beliefs that resonate with old wounds, and do not serve us, BodyTalk sets in motion a return to our real selves.

text: The Multi-Woman wiki last edited by MisterAnderson on 10/25/13 11:33AM View full history Multi-Woman was created by writer Arnold Drake and artist Bob Brown.Feeling isolated from humanity by his powers, the villainous Multi-Man created for himself a consort, the Multi-Woman. In order to prove himself worthy of his "queen"'s affections, the Multi-Man ingests a vial of the formula that empowered him and confronts his enemies, the Challengers of the Unknown. He attacks his foes and then leads them away from the scene. Tracking him, the Challengers believe they have cornered the Multi-Man, but rather, they face the Multi-Woman. They initially suspect she is a human who the Multi-Man has subjected to the same chemicals he has ingested, but soon realize she is a sophisticated robot. After both confront the Challengers, Multi-Man reduces himself to his actual height, which causes revulsion in his creation. She turns on the Multi-Man, leading him to join forces with the Challengers in order to save himself. In the end, Multi-Woman explodes and her creator escapes.Sometime later, Multi-Woman is rebuilt, and she leads "The League of Challenger-Haters." This also does not end well for her.

Serves 4
- 2 tablespoons ground coffee
- 3 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 1/2 tablespoons coriander seeds, lightly toasted and ground
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 4 New York strip steaks, about 1 1/2 inches thick
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Mix all the rub ingredients together and set aside.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a grill to high, placing the majority of the coals and a couple (optional) fist-sized wood chunks in the center of the grill to create a cool zone on the outer edges.
Once the steaks have come to room temperature, coat all sides with the olive oil; then season generously with the coffee-coriander rub. Place the steaks in the center of the grill, cover, and cook for 3 minutes. Flip and grill, covered, for another 3 minutes. Flip and cook each side for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until they reach your desired level of doneness (145° to 150°F for medium-rare and 150° to 160°F for medium according to the USDA. Remember, however, that the meat will rise in temperature as much as 10 degrees as it rests). Remove from the grill and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes so that the juices have time to redistribute and don't end up all over your serving platter or cutting board.

Yeah but ciggs and alcohol are legal and more dangerous/deadly than weed ever will be. If our government didn't have this misguided war on weed, we wouldn't be having this "problem". Still, you're right its against NBA rules so what I just said doesn't matter at all.
haha based on the article I think you're right. the joints were 'suspected' to be marijuana. If you can't tell, it's not any good.
I hear what you are saying. I just get tired of these athletes being paid millions of dollars and they can't stay away from certain things they know are against the rules and damaging to their career.
I don't even care if they stay away. Just be smart and don't smoke in your car. Hell, you got that much money, you don't need to ever be in public with it in your possession.
Two felonies for three cigarettes? Athlete or not that is ridiculous for such a small amount of weed.
Thats our governments war on weed for you. Let killers go with shorter sentences only to crack down on the burning of natural plants. SMH, I could go on but it would have to go to Too Hot, so I'll quit now.
Preach on brother. "Run From the Cure" is one of the best YouTube documentaries out there. Athletes should never get busted for stuff like this, though. With all of that money, why chance it. Or why not invest in one of the Vape Pens they sell that doesn't give off smoke or odor if you can't be without when you're not at your own home? Dumb!
It really isn't about whether or not you think weed should be legal. It's against the rules of the NBA. If they decided to ban coffee, then these idiots shouldn't drink coffee. It's that simple.
Agree'd. It truly is simple, you can argue about weed until you're blue in ths face, doesn't matter, the rules and laws are still there. If someone offers to pay me the money they make, I'd be willing to give up a lot more than weed.
C'mon... You can't possibly be suggesting that adults should be responsible for the decisions they make and should keep from breaking rules they agreed to upon entering into the league!?!?
The way Beasley toyed with the competition when he was in college ("like a man among boys"), I too thought he'd be a great NBA player. I think the talent is there, but not the mentality. Regarding weed, I wonder how many industries would (continue to) ban its use if it were as legal as alcohol? I suppose it could be a problem, for example, for airline pilots in that detection of weed is not as straightforward as alcohol (I understand that weed stays detectable in your system (for weeks?) long after the high is gone). But, for the NBA? Is weed considered a performance enhancer in the sports world? Otherwise, who would care if it were legal (as it is here in Washington)?
Dumb law. Dumb the way the NBA treats it, but players should be more discreet than that. If you're going to partake, to it at home. Why do people have to drive around in their cars smoking a fatty? Well, I did it in high school because I couldn't smoke it at home. These guys have multi-million dollar cribs where nobody will bother them. I guess it's not as cool as riding around in your tacky, pimped out SUV with one arm out the window holding a joint. If there's anything the NBA needs to crack down on more, it's bad taste. Somebody please teach these guys how to dress. Teach them some basics about architecture. Would it hurt to drive a six-figure car in a normal color without blacked out windows and spinners. Can't tell you how many retired professional athletes in Chicago have had gone underwater trying to sell their butt-ugly, macho McMansions in elegant communities like Highland Park, Winnetka and Glencoe.

This is my first post so hopefully the photos will show. My 10 year in the ground Meyer Lemon is not doing well. I have to admit that for the last year it has been neglected. I was taking care of my husband and did not have time to garden. I have seen lots of white flies skittering about. It is on an automatic drip line. Would appreciate any feedback. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would guess underfed, mites, maybe aphids/ants; and because you are in AZ, maybe insufficient water combined with too much heat. All these issues are fixable. |

Well, if you shake the tree, and lots of little white flies fly away, it's probably Citrus Wwhitefly infestation. I can't see the leaves on the branch in the foreground, but it also looks to me like you may also have had some Citrus Leafminer damage as well. If you search the UC IPM site you'll see treatment for Citrus Leafminer as well. The best treatment for Whitefly is a hard blast of water, followed by either an application of Neem Oil, taking care to cover the undersides of the leaves, or, insecticidal soap, applies to the undersides of the leaves. You may have to repeat this several times. I would look carefully around your yard to see where else the whiteflies might be hiding, and treat those plants as well. Patty S. |

Thanks Patty, here is a photo of the lemon tree next to my Meyer. It doesn't have the yellowing but the leaves are quite distorted. It also has little white flies or whatever they are flying around it. I sprayed them both this evening with insecticidal soap. I will do a search for leaf miner but not sure what the UC IPM site is? Thanks, Pati |

Pati, as Jean mentioned, click on the link I provided you in my previous post. This will bring you to the UC IPM (University of California Integrated Pest Management) site, specifically their page on dealing with Whitefly. You can also search their site for information on Citrus Leafminer. Or, search our forum, as we've posted about this nuisance pest many times. Patty S. |

I have one word for you, oops sorry, its two words: Worm Castings ! Sprinkle a whole 10 or 15 lb bag under there now, work it in an inch or two. It takes a while to get into the leaves so it doesn't taste good to them any more. In two months if you have some extra money, do another bag. Nothing about it can hurt, it can only help ! I had the same problem last year. My tree became more susceptible because the neighbor behind us planted a tree too close to the fence and it grew over my lemon, reducing air circulation. So now I have to baby it. But Meyers are SO worth it ! |

June 28 (Bloomberg) -- The International Criminal Court has no jurisdiction in Libya as the country never signed or ratified the treaty that created the body, said Themba Langa, a South African lawyer representing Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi and his government.
Qaddafi has immunity as head of state based on international customary law, Langa said in an e-mailed statement from Johannesburg today.

Vikram Kumar is chief executive of InternetNZ, a non-profit organisation that advocates on behalf of New Zealand users and, though its subsidiaries, administers NZ web addresses.
The Law Commission is expected to deliver the final report on its review of the Privacy Act next month. I hope it includes a recommendation that it is compulsory for people to be informed when their personal information is lost, stolen or inappropriately accessed.
This isn't a kneejerk reaction to the latest headlines, such as Sony's PlayStation Network hack. I had blogged about it back in 2007. Many others have also called for making notification mandatory, including the Privacy Commissioner herself and NZICT chief executive Brett O'Riley.
1. Principle 5 of the Privacy Act requires an "agency" (anyone who holds our personal information, including government and businesses) to ensure "that the information is protected, by such security safeguards as it is reasonable in the circumstances to take..." The problem is what's "reasonable" is up to the agency.
The Law Commission paper referred to above lays out all the standard reasons why notifications should be mandatory. These include reduction of identity crime; reducing other harm; the "right to know"; and policy development.
In another blog post in 2007, I had pointed to a US study and concluded that "there is some evidence that identity fraud or theft that actually comes from breaches involving the disclosure of personal identity information is quite low."
We continue to remain in favour of making notifications mandatory. As we said in our submission on the Issues Paper last year, we think that this should be in two steps:

Artnet News 7/23/99 |
GAGOSIAN TO OPEN LONDON BRANCH Superdealer Larry Gagosian, who presently operates galleries in SoHo, on Madison Avenue and in Los Angeles, is planning to launch a space in London's fancy Cork Street area (as opposed to the more avant-garde East End). Molly Dent-Brocklehurst is manning the new office on Berkeley Square while the search for a proper exhibition space is under way, a process that is expected to take six months. "Larry believes London is the New York of Europe," said a gallery staffer. Gagosian represents top British artists like Damien Hirst, Dinos and Jake Chapman, Marc Quinn and Jenny Saville in New York, and it makes sense to have a London base. Many Gagosian artists show with other London dealers -- Cecily Brown at Victoria Miro, Ellen Gallagher at d'Offay -- and certainly any conflicts will be amicably resolved. The dapper art don is riding high after winning the "L.A. gallery war," as the New York Post referred to the closing of the Left Coast branch of competitor PaceWildenstein. Gogo is also expected to branch out to Chelsea, where he is said to be negotiating for the largest space yet on the 24th Street strip, home to "MGM" (Metro Pictures, Barbara Gladstone and Matthew Marks) and Andrea Rosen and Luhring Augustine. SAATCHI TO LAUNCH RESTAURANT CHAIN London ad man and art patron Charles Saatchi is launching a chain of restaurants named Sensation after the controversial exhibition of New British Art from his collection that the Royal Academy mounted in London two years ago. "Don't worry -- there won't be anything to disturb your appetite," cautioned restaurateur Chris Bodker, half-partner with Saatchi in the scheme. "Sensation" included artist Marc Quinn's self-portrait bust of frozen blood, a portrait of Moors murderer Myra Hindley made from children's handprints and Damien Hirst's famous shark in formaldehyde. The first restaurant is expected to open in London's West End in 12 months. In the meantime, "Sensation: Young British Artists from the Saatchi Collection" opens at the Brooklyn Museum on Oct. 2, 1999. ARMORY SHOW TO JAVITS CENTER The Armory Show 2000, the latest installment of the hip, cutting-edge New York art fair that began five years ago as the Gramercy Art Fair and morphed last year into the Armory Show, is scheduled for Feb. 25-28, 2000, at the New North Pavilion at 39th and 11th Avenue -- otherwise known as the Jacob Javits Convention Center. Everyone agrees that last year's brainstorm of scheduling the downtown fair to coincide with the tony Art Show mounted uptown by the Art Dealers Association of America was a great success. Unfortunately, the Lexington Avenue venue has a previous engagement for 2000. The cost at the Javits location, out of the way for everyone except Chelsea galleries, is rising some -- booth rental fees range from $5,200 to $18,000. "It's expensive but worth it," said one downtown dealer, who noted that the cost of a booth at the ADAA fair begins at $18,000. WALLIS TO ICP Freelance art critic and curator Brian Wallis has been named director of exhibitions at the International Center for Photography, which operates two exhibition spaces in Manhattan. Wallis has been a curator at the New Museum, where he organized several of that institution's most influential shows of the early '80s, and was also an editor at Art in America magazine. He has edited several books, including Art after Modernism: Rethinking Representation (1984) and Blasted Allegories: An Anthology of Writing by Contemporary Artists (1987). ECCE HOMO, YBA STYLE A very contemporary statue of Christ by Young British Artist Mark Wallinger has gone up on a plinth next to Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square in London. Cast of marble dust and resin, the sculpture shows Christ as clean-shaven, muscular and crowned with gold barbed wire. Most religious authorities in England seem to have been pleasantly surprised at Wallinger's decision to portray the humbled Jesus in a relatively conventional way, considering the artist earned his fame by buying a horse and calling it A Real Work of Art. The plinth has been empty for 150 years, and now is to hold a series of three contemporary works. The two other works to follow are Phil Woodrow's giant bronze Regardless of History and Rachel Whiteread's upside-down cast of the plinth. Some failed ideas for the prime position included a sculpture of Lady Thatcher in a tank and a 24-foot-tall pigeon. A committee chaired by Sir John Mortimer will decide which statue will be placed permanently in the square to be enjoyed by visitors and pigeons alike. PRINCE TO PICK MEMORIAL Prince Charles, long famous for his informal role as arbiter of British architecture, will sit on a panel to choose the design of a $3-million, 50-foot-wide Hyde Park memorial to be dedicated to Indian and Afro-Caribbean soldiers who fought for Britain in two world wars. The new memorial is to feature three gates that will stretch across Constitution Hill in view of Buckingham Palace. The Prince of Wales is expected to protect the design from the vulgarity that critics said characterized the Queen Elizabeth Gate six years ago. WILL THE REAL VAN DYCK PLEASE STAND UP? A Florentine auctioneer claims that a painting that will be exhibited at London's Royal Academy in September at a Van Dyck exhibition is misidentified, according to a report in the Guardian. Van Dyck's The Continence of Scipio is owned by Christ Church College, Oxford. However, Angiolo Magnelli thinks that he has the real version, and that the Christ Church painting is by Rubens and depicts Alexander the Great rejecting the hand of King Darius's daughter. He says he bought the Scipio painting at a London art gallery and has studied the two paintings since then for 29 years. If Magnelli is right the painting would increase in value. British experts do not doubt that the work is a Van Dyck but Italian critics side with Magnelli. NAZI ART LOOT AT ISRAEL MUSEUM An $8-million Impressionist painting by Camille Pissarro has turned up in the collection of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, according to a report in today's London Guardian. Pissarro's Boulevard Montmartre, Spring (1897) was owned by collector Max Silberberg until 1935, when the Nazis forced its sale in one of the notorious "Jewish auctions." Silberberg died in the concentration camps, but his son Alfred and daughter-in-law Gerta fled Germany in 1939. The Pissarro work, which was donated to the Israel Museum two years ago, had a series of Jewish owners after the war. A representative of the Pissarro family said that they hoped Mrs. Silberberg would donate the picture to the museum so it can remain on public view. Silberberg recently has received the return of a van Gogh drawing that had been in the National Gallery of the former East Berlin. CLEVELAND BUYS ROTHSCHILD OLD MASTER The Cleveland Museum of Art has announced the acquisition of Frans Hals' portrait of the wealthy merchant Tieleman Roosterman (1634). "It is now our most important Dutch picture," said CMA chief curator Diane De Grazia. London art dealer Clovis Whitfield bought the painting on the museum's behalf for $12.8 million at the Rothschild sale at Christie's London on July 9. The funds came from the CMA Leonard C. Hanna Jr., Fund, established in 1958 for important acquisitions; the purchase is the most CMA has paid at auction for a work of art. The painting was confiscated by the Third Reich during World War II and exhibited in Austrian state museums until earlier this year, when the Austrian government returned it to the Rothschild family. CARS AT LONDON MUSEUM, TOO The Museum of Modern Art has installed nine "smart" cars in its garden, exemplifying the future of environmentally friendly design. Across the pond at the Royal College of Art they get nine luxury cars, including an Aston Martin sports car. RCA rector Christopher Frayling bragged that all four members of the team that designed the Hyundai were RCA grads. The show opens July 29. BROOKLYN BRIDGE IN A BOOK Rare platinum photos by Turkish-American artist Burhan Dogancay from his book Bridge of Dreams are to be exhibited at Radio House Gallery when the book is released this fall. The Hudson Hills Press publication is a photo-documentary of the centennial restoration of the Brooklyn Bridge. The photos will also be on exhibition at the JFK airport through fall 1999. | ||

LM Wind Power
Contributed by of Michael Nilsson of Copenhagen-based Make.
LM Wind Power is the world's leading component supplier to the wind turbine industry. It comprises three operations: blade manufacturing, brake manufacturing and service and logistics. The company needed to unite these divisions and provide a clear and compelling profile to take advantage of the expanding market for wind energy.
Old LM brand identity
Make® was asked to take on the lead agency role for the rebranding — providing the core concept and liaising with other agencies to ensure a smooth implementation around the world.
We worked closely with the company to develop a new brand hierarchy in which the different divisions would each have their own voice yet contribute to the overall corporate brand. The company name was changed from LM Glasfiber (which related too strongly to its wind turbine division) to LM Wind Power. Then the divisions were given sub-brands, working with color to differentiate them. This hierarchy was captured in a new visual identity that referred back to the company's heritage to ensure continuing market recognition.
New LM Wind Power brand identity
Master brand, white out version
Graphic elements: logotype with division lines, typography, graphic device "the brand square," colours, and illustration style
Presentation folder, certificate, business cards, product pamphlet
Wall signage — backlit single solid white letters
Exhibition design and brand animation — embedded below
Publication design
Company value handbook and poster design
Clothing and vehicles
Clothing, pins, and flags
The new identity demonstrates that LM Wind Power is a company with a strong corporate profile that can meet the global needs of its current and future customers. Captured in a brand manual that details everything from logo-use to clothing, signage and vehicles for the different divisions, the brand has been implemented internationally (Europe, USA, India and China). The identity has already been applied to the corporate and division websites, stationery, presentation materials, advertisements, brochures, and internal communication.
Client: LM Wind Power

6 appreciated remarks about "LM Wind Power"
I like the logo, love the print work.
Extremely comprehensive and complete, faultless work indeed. =]
I love this, it was very well thought out and executed well. Awesome job Make.
Love the energy in the new design. Perfection!
Thank you all very much for your comments. Must say (as the project manager on the assignment) that we are also extremely excited about the result :-)
Wow, this completely renews the company name with innovation and sleek design.

More celebration than confrontation, the 20th Anniversary Critical Mass ride filled San Francisco streets on Friday evening with thousands of cyclists who whooped for joy, blasted music from basket-mounted boom boxes, and traded insults only occasionally with frustrated motorists.
"I've ridden it almost since the beginning," said a rider named David, who rode with a "Happy Birthday, Critical Mass" flag tethered to his seat post. "Bicycling is a political act, a quiet alternative to climate change." For every hard-core Masser like David there was a rider like Jewli, who told me, "I'm a Critical Mass virgin but I had always wanted to try it. Usually the only biking I do is from my house to the beach."
There were many like her, as it took 25 minutes for the horde to wheel away from Justin Herman Plaza, steadily adding length to a two-wheeled human snake that would stretch to two miles on downtown San Francisco streets. The riders covered much of the city, pedaling past Union Square, Civic Center, Dolores Park and the Castro district.
Critical Mass originated in San Francisco with 48 riders in 1992 (the typical turnout now is 500) and has spread to about 350 cities worldwide. There are organizers now, who conducted a week of bike-related events honoring the anniversary, and they coordinate with police. But the anarchic heart of the rides lives on. The route still isn't announced, some riders splinter off and stop signs are ignored. The goals remain the same: to increase the visibility of cyclists, and reclaim public space.
The scene at the start, too, made it clear that this is no century ride. The bikes: road, mountain, racing, single-speed, tandem, cargo, adult trikes, and child trailers. The cyclists: old, young, fit, obese. The apparel: jeans, tie-dye, wool coats, superhero costumes, or nothing at all—a few naked guys who braved the drippy fog. Participants came from Rome, Paris, and São Paulo, but most were locals who pedaled from their homes or offices to the start.
Some of the aims of Critical Mass have been met, with bike lanes now on many San Francisco streets and a 71 percent increase in cycling in the city in the last five years. More importantly, the public perception of cyclists has improved, at least in more progressive cities like San Francisco.
Critical Mass has always been about challenging the driving paradigm, but it was clear by the grins on the faces of Friday's riders that it's also about the sheer joy and freedom of riding a bike.

Kali Jeeri/ Black Cumin/ Caraway Seeds
Kali Jeeri/ Black Cumin/ Caraway Seeds-
Health Benefits of Kali Jeeri
Black Cumin/Kali Jeeri – Herb.
Botanical name – Centratherum Anthelminticum
Caraway seeds are part of the buttercup family and the appearance of these seeds are dark, thin, and crescent in shape when whole. Caraway seeds are being used for many centuries in the Mediterranean, the Middle East and India. Now a days, the black cumin seeds are being used as a seasoning spice in lot many cuisines across the world due to its special nutty flavor. Besides its culinary uses, the black cumin seeds do have a wealth of important health benefits and is also one of the most cherished medicinal seed in history. Virgin Black Cumin Seed Oil contains many remarkable healing properties and come from one of the most powerful medicinal plants on earth.
Caraway seed is an annual Eurasian herb (Nigella sativa) having bluish-white flowers and pungent black seeds are preferably used as a seasoning in cuisines of almost all the Asian countries. This flowering plant is native to Iran, Afghanistan and the Indian subcontinent. It is also known as black cumin and black caraway, depending on the region, by several variations of kali jeeri. These aromatic seeds are also used as a spice in Indian cuisine and Ayurvedic medicine. Because, Caraway seeds are reputed to possess diuretic properties, this spice is sometimes suggested for weight loss. However, there is little evidence supporting the plants use for weight loss.
The seeds of the black cumin/kali jeeri plant contain over 100 chemical compounds. One of which is Crystalline Nigellone, believed to be the primary active ingredient. Black cumin seed contains: arachidonic acid, beta sitosterol, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, myristic acid, palmitoleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, thymoquinone, protein, folic acid, calcium, iron, copper, zinc, phosphorous, vitamin B1, vitamin B2 and vitamin B3.
Caraway seeds are in relation to the parsley family. The plant is native to Central Asia and Northern India, where it has been used in cooking for centuries. An essential oil is extracted from the seeds, which in return is used in some traditional medicinal practices. It is said to be that the oil is particularly helpful for digestive issues, and is also favorable for some topical injuries such as boils. In many parts of India, the root of the plant is also used in cooking as well.
Black cumin/kali jeeri is to be stored in a cool dry place, likewise all other spices, and preferably in the dark. When the cooks need it for a recipe, the seeds should always be measured first from the storage container and then into a small dish. It should never be poured directly over the cooking food, as the heat or humidity can flow into the container to spoil the spice and remember to toast the spice before use especially for a strong and distinctive flavor. The seeds should not be used beyond a period of six months to one year.

.- To mark the 100th anniversary of Pope St. Pius X's motu propio on the renewal of sacred music, "Tra le sollecitudini," Pope John Paul II has issued a personal letter calling for the Church to embark on a profound renewal of liturgical and sacred music.
In the message, dated November 22, the feast of the patron saint of sacred music, St. Cecilia, the Pontiff says the anniversary of Pope Pius X's letter provides "the opportunity to recall the important role of sacred music, which St. Pius X presents both as a means of raising the spirit to God and as an aid for the faithful toward the 'active participation in the sacred mysteries and in the public and solemn prayer of the Church'."
Further on in the text the Pope reflects on the teaching of the Church during the last century on the nobility and importance of liturgical music, saying, "In this sense, guided by the teachings of St. Pius X and my other predecesors, and keeping in mind particularly the pronouncements of the Second Vatican Council, I wish to propose anew some fundamental principles" concerning the composition and use of music in liturgical celebrations.
Principles concerning liturgical music
The Pope then goes on to list a series of principles he considers fundamental for the appropriate use of music in the liturgy:
Popular Music and Gregorian Chant
The Holy Father indicates that "among the musical expressions that properly respond to the qualities required by the notion of sacred music, especially within liturgical music, Gregorian chant occupies an important place. The Vatican Council II recognizes it as 'music of the Roman liturgy,' which should be preserved in the first place for liturgical ceremonies with hymns that are celebrated in Latin." "Gregorian chant, therefore, continues today to be an element of unity in Roman liturgy."
John Paul II asks the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments "to pay closer attention to the sector of sacred liturgical music. … It is important that musical compositions used in liturgical celebrations respond to the criteria opportunely pronounced by St. Pius X and prudently developed by the Vatican Council II and the Magisterium of the Church."
The Pope recognizes the value of popular liturgical music, but then goes on to say, "I make my own the 'general rule' formulated by St. Pius X in these terms: 'The more a composition for the Church is based in its inspiration and taste on Gregorian melodies, the more sacred and liturgical it is, and the further away it is from this supreme model, the less worthy it is of belonging in the Church."
John Paul II emphasizes that today "there is no lack of composers capable of offering in this spirit their vital collaboration in increasing the heritage of music at the service of an ever-increasing, intensively celebrated liturgy."
The Pope recalls that St. Pius X, "addressing the bishops, instructed them to institute in their dioceses 'a special commission made up of persons truly competent in questions related to sacred music'." "In those places where the Pope's instructions were put into practice the fruits were abundant," says the Pope.
For this reason, he encourages bishops to follow the example of those commissions in their own dioceses today. "I also trust that the Bishops conferences will carefully review the texts of songs intended for liturgical use, and that they will pay special attention to the evaluation and promotion of melodies that are truly apt for sacred use," the Pope concludes.

Garfield County Inmate Arraigned on Assault Charge
By John Durkee
ENID, Okla. (AP) — An inmate at the Garfield County jail has been arraigned on assault charges after prosecutors accused him of attacking workers at the detention center.
Lorenzo Marquis Robinson was arraigned Thursday on five counts of assault and battery upon corrections personnel. The Enid News & Eagle reports that two of the charges were felonies and the remaining three were misdemeanors.
An affidavit alleges that Robinson kicked and pushed jail workers on Sept. 18.
Robinson also has a pending felony charge of prisoner placing bodily fluid on a state employee, which is related to a June incident at the county jail. He faces up to 10 years in prison on that felony charge.
Robinson is due in court Nov. 19 for a bond appearance on both case

Hello everyone!
Many thanks for joining us in this exciting 16th European Neurofibromatosis Meeting that is being held in Barcelona. We have imagined a dynamic meeting format, providing many space for talks selected from submitted abstracts in order to present the most up to date research and advances in the field. We hope of being able to give voice to everyone, to foster new ideas and interactions and to provide the ideal environment to promote synergies amongst us and generate fruitful collaborations. We have spent a great effort preparing this meeting but it would have not been possible to arrive here without the work and collaboration of the European Scientific Advisory Board, the Local Scientific Committee and the support of the different institutions and sponsors. We also would like to thank the collaboration and effort of the European Neurofibromatosis Association, the local NF lay associations and all the different associations in the European countries that are attending the meeting. To all of them: many, many, thanks!
We would like to give our welcome to the new European NF Group that will be launched during the meeting. We are convinced that your presence is an important addition to the meeting. We hope you can learn, share, discuss and have fun. No doubt that there are still many challenges ahead in the field of Neurofibromatosis, but there is also no doubt that together we can face them better. The European Neurofibromatosis Meetings are special because they are more than scientific conferences. They are devoted to researchers, clinicians, patients and families and help us in reinforcing this community effort. Thanks a lot for coming! Enjoy the meeting! Enjoy Barcelona!
Thanks a lot for coming! Enjoy the meeting! Enjoy Barcelona!

Nestled among more than a hundred wooded and landscaped acres, NYIT's Dorothy and Alexander Schure Old Westbury Campus looks and feels like a private estate. In fact, the campus comprises several former North Shore estates.
Many of the former C.V. Whitney and estate buildings were reconstructed for educational use with special attention given to exterior charm. Classroom buildings and parking fields are connected by walkways through woods and meadows. Spacious plazas act as outdoor classrooms for students and faculty as well.
Students spend time between classes dining at one of the many cafès on campus, playing games at the Student Activity Center, listening to lectures on various issues, attending student organization meetings, or exercising in the Sports Complex.
