Detecting and resolving redundancies in EP3P policies
Salim, Farzad (2006) Detecting and resolving redundancies in EP3P policies. Masters by Research thesis, Faculty of Computer Science and Software Engineering, University of Wollongong.
|Unpublished Thesis. (PDF 1MB)
Current regulatory requirements on data privacy make it increasingly important for enterprises to be able to verify and audit their compliance with their privacy policies. Traditionally, a privacy policy is written in a natural language. Such policies inherit the potential ambiguity, inconsistency and mis-interpretation of natural text. Hence, formal languages are emerging to allow a precise specification of enforceable privacy policies that can be verified.
The EP3P language is one such formal language. An EP3P privacy policy of an enterprise consists of many rules. Given the semantics of the language, there may exist some rules in the ruleset which can never be used, these rules are referred to as redundant rules.
Redundancies adversely affect privacy policies in several ways. Firstly, redundant rules reduce the efficiency of operations on privacy policies. Secondly, they may misdirect the policy auditor when determining the outcome of a policy. Therefore, in order to address these deficiencies it is important to identify and resolve redundancies.
This thesis introduces the concept of minimal privacy policy - a policy that is free of redundancy. The essential component for maintaining the minimality of privacy policies is to determine the effects of the rules on each other. Hence, redundancy detection and resolution frameworks are proposed. Pair-wise redundancy detection is the central concept in these frameworks and it suggests a pair-wise comparison of the rules in order to detect redundancies. In addition, the thesis introduces a policy management tool that assists policy auditors in performing several operations on an EP3P privacy policy while maintaining its minimality. Formal results comparing alternative notions of redundancy, and how this would affect the tool, are also presented.

[Film censorship and the film code]
This episode is from the WNYC archives. It may contain language which is no longer politically or socially appropriate.
Talks about long-running controversy with Eric Johnson, Head of Association for Motion Picture which is more or less governed by the production code. Interviewed twice recently. Talks about play "A Hat Full of Rain," which deals with dope addiction. "The Man With the Golden Arm" was released without the seal (without code's approval). "The Moon Is Blue" also released without the seal. Implications are terrifying - not only the laws themselves but also the application and the interpretations can't be changed. The code represents divine law, and therefore is by its nature unchangeable. Document called "Reasons For the Code." Tells story about the Legion of Decency. While the moral law is divine, the interpretation of it is in the hands of frail human beings. One of the principal studios, United Artists has withdrawn. If four more withdraw, the association will cease to exist. The same picture can be shown by television and as far as he knows there is no way to stop it. Maybe if we have more freedom in television, balanced by judgment and taste, it will break down the code. Goes on to talk about security and artists signing long-term contracts. Eddie Fisher, Burle, Gleeson. Draws a salary provided s/he doesn't work with another broadcasting company. Making a piece of property out of an artist. Amos and Andy on CBS. Motion picture rights and right to license dolls, etc. Many stars have become independent, and can work for whatever studio they like. Broadcasters have another interest to serve - the public interest. Mentions Goodman Ace's book, "Book of Little Knowledge" - book of his reviews. Talks about Eddie Fisher - not a particularly good emcee or dancer. A show called Hear America Singing with Burl Ives - not one song by Irving Berlin - Seldes considers this high brow to the highest extent. Tells a story about Perry Como - shaved Kirk Douglas's beard. Changes the subject a little and talks about a column by Max Lerner in the New York Post. Talks about On The Waterfront, Budd Schulberg and Elia Kazan. Problem plays - plays about "problems" like divorce, unwed mother, loyalty or homosexuality.

I had radiation treatments to the back of my head, and hair in that particular place doesn't grow. I have to keep my hair short in order to hide the bald spot. Please, I want this spot to grow like it used to more than anything. -Samantha
Can Hair Grow Back Over Areas That Had Radiation?
Doctor Answers 4
Does hair grow back after radiation
Your question would be a good one to ask of the radiation doctor who did the treatment, because the specifics of the dose that actually hit the skin may affect the answer.
Having said that, it is certainly possible for hair to regrow in some cases after radiation. Typically regrowth would be seen in the first 1-2 years after the treatment if its going to happen. In other words, if the radiation was 4 months ago, you may get some (or even near complete) regrowth. If the radiation were 3 years ago, with no regrowth, then it's much less likely.
You may wish to consult with a hair transplant doctor, because sometimes hair transplantation can be an option for localized patches of persistent hair loss post radiation.
FUE Hair Transplant for Radiation Hair Loss
Yes, it is possible for hair to grow back after radiation treatment. It is also possible that the hair will never grow back. A major determinant is whether or not the scalp damage caused by radiation heals with scar / fibrous tissue formation. This is is pecially important if you have lost hair in the area for more than 6 months. In this case, a biopsy would be helpful useful in making that determination. Such a scenario is called cicatricial alopecia (hair loss associated with scar formation). Hair transplantation could be a recourse. If your hair loss has been for less than 6 months and there is no clear evidence of scar formation, then there is still a chance that you may regrow some hair. In this instance the use of minoxidil may be helpful. You should consult a dermatologist for an evaluation and treatment.

Hair Loss after Radiation
It is possible that your hair will grow back with time after the radiation treatment. If not, there are other options available to you. Find a hair transplant surgeon that you trust who can give you a personalized consultation. Good luck!

Hair loss after radiation therapy
As you have heard, hair may eventually grow back in the treated areas. You need to give this a little more time. In the meantime, you would be best served by an in-person consultation with a hair transplant surgeon. We have offices in Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland. Here you can learn about all of your options, including topical and non-invasive treatments that can be done while we wait and see what happens to that area. If a transplantation surgery is needed, your surgeon can discuss what that entails and what to expect. Good luck!

I got the all you can eat snow crab, not bad! A little bland. It was my first time with crab and it was not my favorite. The waitress seemed thrown off when i asked for a GF menu, not sure why.... not bad over all, but not dying to go back.
Great food. Outstanding taste. Plentiful portions. However, our server was a rookie on her first night and served a cream of crab with a flour roux. Delicious but a gluten source. Owner quickly apologized and covered the meal, but damage is done. Recommend the restaurant and food enthusiastically, but strongly recommend dealing only with Tim the owner/manager or the chef and not the waitstaff. This is good advice anywhere!

Hi Jeph,
Thanks for your reply, I read the documentation and it seems like
that's what I'm needing. I'm fairly new to Stata though and this is
the first project I am working on, would you mind giving a brief
explanation as to how I would use the xtmelogit command? I've tried to
figure it out but am not sure that what I'm doing is right...
I need to regress employment status of individuals on various factors,
and I suspect that there will be different factors working at
different levels within the employment statuses. The breakdown of
employment status is:
Population: -> Not Economically Active
-> Economically Active -> Unemployed
-> Employed
And then employed may be split further into Formally Employed and
Informally Employed.
Please could you briefly explain how I could set up this regression
using the xtmelogit. The first draft of my honors dissertation is due
in two weeks, and I am desperately needing these results!
Thanks for your time,
Brendon Gerding

A Federal Criminal History Records Search directly accesses the Federal Crime Repository for each and every Federal District in the United States, in order to identify criminal convictions at the Federal Level, which would include:
- tax law violations
- securities and exchange commission violations
- embezzlement
- terrorism
- interstate drug crimes
- weapons violations
- mail/wire fraud
- civil rights violations
Cases filed at the federal level include cases involving crimes that occurred on federal property. A Federal Criminal History Records Search will reveal serious "white-collar" crimes that wouldn't be identified under a search at the local or county level.
A Federal Criminal Records Search is a vital search and is especially recommended for all high-ranking, financial, executive and managerial positions. Information that will show up in a federal criminal search include filing date, case number, charges offenses, defendant identifiers (name/dob) disposition, disposition date, and sentencing information.
Since federal criminal records are held at the state level more "hits" will be generated if a common name has been searched, this is why it's imperative that when requesting a federal criminal search a full name including middle name is documented to identify if in fact a "hit" belongs to the subject of the report.

Australia defeated the White Ferns by seven runs in the final Rose Bowl match at North Sydney Oval yesterday, securing a 3-1 series win in the process.
Chasing Australia's 267 for nine, the White Ferns required 14 off the last over, but fell short at 260 for eight.
Lucy Doolan and Suzie Bates started the pursuit well, putting on a 48-run stand for the first wicket. Doolan made 30 from 27, before being caught off the bowling of Megan Schutt.
Bates continued her fantastic series with 54 from 70 balls, while Amy Satterthwaite (38) backed up the openers to help the White Ferns through to 133 for three.
Katie Perkins (40) and Nicola Browne (63) then combined to get their side within striking distance at 220 for four. The turning point came when Perkins was run out, triggering a mini-collapse.
Browne, though, remained and with three wickets in hand needed 14 off the last over. She was then caught off the first ball, effectively ending the White Ferns' chances.
Schutt was solid, with two wickets from her 10 overs, while Perry was on target at the end of the innings when she knocked over Rachel Priest and Sara McGlashan.
Earlier, Australia again got off to a strong start and set a good platform for their middle order to build on.
A second-wicket partnership worth 58 between Rachael Haynes (32) and Jess Cameron (66) took the home side to 73 for one. It took a great piece of fielding from Katie Perkins to break the stand, with Haynes run out in the 12th over.
That brought last match's centurion Meg Lanning to the crease. Alongside Cameron, she kept the momentum for Australia and put on 58 for the third wicket.
Cameron brought up her half-century, before being dismissed by Satterthwaite in the 21st over.
The White Ferns now look towards the ICC World Cup in India, which begins late next month.

The Baker University wrestling squad is heading to Sioux City, Iowa to battle in the Briar Cliff Open Saturday.
A dual against York College scheduled to take place Friday in York, Neb., was canceled.
The team finished its dual record with a perfect 4-0.
"It feels pretty good that we've beat some teams that have been around longer than we have," freshman Alan Callahan, 125 pounds, said. "It's given us confidence for next year."
The Wildcats are coming off a third-place finish in the Kansas Cup Invitational at Kansas Newman University.
Freshman Jacob Nowak, 184 pounds, and senior Levi Calhoun, 285 pounds, both finished runner-up in their weight classes.
After Saturday's competition, the Wildcats are heading into the NAIA Central Regional tournament Feb. 20 in Oskaloosa, Iowa.

are isolated supplies needed for high-power class-D?
I know this subject has been "banned" as dangerous, so can anyone explain why it's any worse from a safety point of view than the very high output voltages you can get at the speaker terminals anyway from a very high-power class-D amplifier?
-- Powersoft K20 is 5200W/4ohms which is 140Vrms which puts it into the same safety/isolation class as mains (maximum peak output is quoted as 225V/102A)
Or is the worry not so much voltage as the high currents you could get with an accidental short to ground?
(but is this any worse than shorting the output of an amp that can source more than 100A?)
P.S. Not intending to build one, just trying to see whether high-power amps are just as dangerous as non-isolated SMPS...
110V (or more likely 220v as used here and in europe) is enough to kill you, but it depends muchly on where it flows through your body. If it's just between two fingers of your hand, it may hurt, but is harmless.
If you touch speaker terminals, this is the most likely conduction path.
Flowing through your heart, 10mA is a deadly current, so you don't need supplies capable of delivering many amps. Of course current depends on the ratio of voltage to skin-resistance, so a higher voltage, or moist skin is more likely to facillitate a deadly current flow.
The danger of un-isolated PSUs is in the way AC power is delivered to your home. One side of the AC line is at ground potential (the Neutral).
If you happen to touch the live, either directly - or indirectly through a conduction path through the amplifier, the current path will be through your hand, to your feet (on the earth) via your chest. Or from one hand, via your chest , to the other hand that may be resting on an earthed metal cabinet, or similar.
That is the dangerous part.
My take on why mains is 'banned' and high o/p voltages not is that it is a bit of a knee jerk reaction, there are plenty of places more dangerous than the mains. After all, what about the mains earth referenced DC power rails used in valve (tube) gear or high power amps ?
These are potentially much more dangerous because (ignoring the obvious technical reasons, DC for one) folk are brought up to think of mains as dangerous and might well have their guard down when working on the secondary side of their gear.
Concerning speaker outputs, their connections have to comply with all the requirements of any other connector that carries high voltages as defined by the applicable standards. This is why you tend to see Speakons used on high power pro-gear.
Before anyone mentions that as some speakers have nice uninsulated brass binding posts on them so there must be an inconsistency, I should point out that this actually is a problem. If these products were submitted for safety testing (assuming that they could handle the power required for the voltage to be an issue) they would fail !
There's nothing magic about whether the current comes directly from the mains or a high-voltage amplifier output, they can do exactly the same damage.
Hence my question...
So the obvious conclusion is that a non-isolated SMPS and a high-power amp like the K20 have exactly the same safety requirements; either both are OK, or neither are -- possibly because the authorities haven't realised that audio amps nowadays can put out enough volts (and amps) to kill you or start a fire in just the same way that mains can...
P.S. Obviously any exposed parts of the amp would have to be earthed for safety; all this means is that instead of the isolation barrier being in its normal location (between mains and all the amplifier circuits) it would be between the input/case section of the amp and the output section, which would have to be "floating" inside the case.
In fact, there is a new generation of high power class D amplifiers with non-isolated outputs coming, it may become the standard for powered speakers within a few years. I know because I'm working in that field.
However, considering the electronics skills of most people writting here, it's quite dangerous to promote these ideas through the DIY comunity. Most people already have enough trouble making a standard isolated amplifier work reliably without things exploding, particularly if it's class D...
Also, a very reliable circuit that disconnects the amplifier from mains instantaneously when earth leakage is detected is a *must* in these cases. This approach is actually a bit safer than any isolated high power amplifier because there is no way in which the output voltage, either the audio component or the mains one, can shock you with more than 5mA for more than 25ms (USA ground fault standard). It must disconnect from mains instantly if you happen to touch anything.
Input signal must be obviously isolated (quite challenging when you want to have good SNR without going digital), and proper isolation has to be provided between isolated and non-isolated parts of the amplifier too, including the case, which should be earthed. The amplifier should not be allowed to power up when safety earth is not present either.
I can't post about most of the work that I have been doing for the past 2 years, in part due to non-disclosure agreements with customers, and in part because it involves non-isolated circuits, but this stuff is powerful, efficient and compact, and it will be on the market soon ;)
An earth leakage detector is obviously a good idea -- so I wonder if the K20 has one to detect a poor sound engineer trapped with one hand on the speaker terminals and his feet in wet grass?
The point I'm trying to make is that for very high powers mains isolation in the SMPS is no longer needed, which opens up a whole load of possibilities (especially if you've got 3-phase available).
I'm assuming that the input signal will be digital (or with ADC on the input side) and DSP processed like in the K20, in which case CMRR on the audio doesn't matter, the only thing that crosses the isolation barrier is digital data.
Hi iand
Your comment about Powercons and Speakons prompted me to check the clearances. I have just measured them and they are the same (as was my rusty recollection) on this basis both can be considered suitable for use up to the voltages specified by Neutrik from an external touch point of view. BUT, the Powercon has large webs that separate the connection side whereas the Speakon does not (I am talking about the chassis connectors, as far as I can see the plugs are very similar).
As an aside, I am sure that somewhere I have read that Powercons are not in fact certifiable for domestic use. this I don't understand because EN60065 definitely does cover the use of gear in a domestic environment and I have got loads of products through this standard that do use powercons ... BTW the Powercon carries a VDE mark, this particular (genuine) speakon has no safety marks.
Back to the thread ...it seems quite clear the safety of a device has little to do with whether the voltages that it runs from / generates are isolated or not from the mains, rather that no such potentials can be accessed by the user - this is why what Eva is proposing poses no greater intrinsic risk than say a food mixer. NOVICES SHOULD NOT TAKE THAT COMMENT TO MEAN THAT IT IS NECESSARILY SAFE EITHER. the devil is in the implementation.
From a DIY point of view where guys and girls will be inside gear the forums well intentioned blanket ban on the mains side of things clearly makes no practical sense if the gear uses or generates ground referenced voltages higher than the mains and these discussions are 'legal'.
Having said that, what are the forum owners to do ? they are in a difficult position. Mains is clearly dangerous but so are loads of other things ! are they to ban discussions about valves etc. too ?
The problem with non-isolated supplies is that your signal ground (which you can and will make contact with) may be at some potential that's well above "earth". The "low" side of the DC supply is the (-) side of the rectifier and that's NOT at ground no matter which way you plug it in. Earth that by accident and you blow breakers, rectifiers, or maybe your fingers. The only kind of supply that won't cause this trouble is a full wave bridge, split supply that's +/-169 wrt "earth". Even with that, just one unconnected (floating) neutral somewhere - and don't dare say it won't happen - and you can get on a world of hurt from "signal ground".
Hi Wg,
if somebody is running his powerstage without mains isolation, he will have to implement the isolation of the input signal. Demanding task in analogue high quality systems, less headache with digital signals.
The minus node of the mains rectifier of course must be not accessable, i.e. ensured by safety connectors for the speakers. This safety isolation must be consequently realized throughout speaker wiring, speaker and cabinet design.
Hi Eva,
...what's the detailed background in the safety standards for such ground leakage detection shsut down/disconnection circuits?
From what I normally see in safety standards, it is required to ensure double isolation or reinforced isolation for high voltages. The idea of this is that you need things to go double wrong until it goes lethal.
From my understanding such a ground leakage detection would bring one safety level, but not two levels. Means - I can imagine that this might open the door for special regulations that accept to use basic isolation plus GND leakage sensing instead of double/reinforced isolation.
But having high voltage directly touchable with just a GND-leakage-detection is sounding like giving a very difficult task to your colleagues in the certification department...

Britain's oldest settlement is not where we thought it was, a team of archaeologists said on Thursday as they announced with confidence that Amesbury should now hold the distinction.
It was previously considered that Thatcham in Berkshire held the distinction but researchers from the University of Buckingham are certain we need to look 40 miles west, to the parish of Amesbury, in Wiltshire, which also includes Stonehenge.

Mario Solis-Marich: Organized labor has never found itself as united as it is at this moment in our country's history. However the right has never found itself with so much access to funding dedicated to breaking unions.
Why Republicans Should Support Planned Parenthood
Tina Dupuy: What Planned Parenthood really does is keep poor people out of emergency rooms. The clinics treat people with or without insurance for ranges of health issues. Yes, low-cost community clinics save taxpayers' money. Lots.
Californians Benefit from Funding Higher Education
Tracy Emblem: California taxpayers should carefully consider the cost-benefit analysis, because when we cut public funding for these institutions, we cut our state's economic advantage and future prosperity.
How Redevelopment Agencies Subvert Democracy
Randy Shaw: As mayors, developers and Agency staff try to fend off Governor Brown's proposed transfer of redevelopment funds to local governments – earning far more media coverage than cuts to programs serving more vulnerable Californians – little has been said about the fundamentally undemocratic nature of redevelopment agencies.
Guess Who Could Be Funding Those Attack Ads
Wendy Block: The Citizens United decision doesn't address the homeland of donors. So what would stop multi-national companies or even foreign countries from procuring such potential winners as Sharron Angle, Joe Miller, or Christine O'Donnell? Who are the people/corporations behind these mysterious ads? Could Osama bin Laden be a donor? After all, the Supreme Court did rule in favor of free speech for all money.
Investing in Our Future
Rep. Pete Stark: The idea of a financial speculation tax is getting consideration in many corners of the world, and not a moment too soon. When the UN Summit kicks off next week, an international financial speculation tax to fund the Millennium Development Goals should be at the top of the agenda.
Where to Go from Here on Voter-Owned Elections
Wayne Williams: With Voter Owned, Auditable, Transparent and Verifiable Elections, voters will come out in larger numbers as they have more confidence in their government. More viable candidates of all races and genders will run for office, and most likely the cost of elections will go down because the public will be more educated, involved and aware.

Gamification – Take a Hands-on Lab – Chance to Win Cool Prizes In San Francisco the Hands-on Labs teamed up with the VMware CloudCred group to make taking labs more fun and rewarding. Attendees at VMworld Europe in Barcelona have the same opportunity to win cool prizes! If you are not familiar with CloudCred, it is a way to build your cloud expertise, broaden your professional network and earn rewards at the same time. You earn points by performing tasks that help show off your cloud skills and bring you up to speed on things you may not be familiar with. You can then turn those points into rewards, like CloudCred merchandise, a 3D printer or other electronic gadgets. CloudCred runs year round, but the team is creating special tasks just for this year's Hands-on Labs at VMworld. You can find out more about CloudCred and sign up for an account at their website: https://www.cloudcredibility.com/ Once you are at VMworld and have completed a lab, a new screen will popup asking you to take a survey, but you will also see a QR and verification code to signify that you have completed the task. All you need to do is scan the QR code and it will take you directly to the CloudCred task for the lab where you can then enter the verification code to complete the task. The verification code is unique to you and the lab you have completed. Also, in order for the lab to count, you will need to spend a minimum of 20 minutes in it. If you don't have a smartphone with you, just write down the code and enter it in when you have access to a computer.
The CloudCred team has created a 'World' just for the Hands-on Labs, including our own leader-board. We will give away prizes every day to the top lab takers. You can find the leaderboard throughout the conference on the information monitors and in the Hands-on Labs. While you may not be at the top of the leaderboard, you will still have an opportunity to win! Each day we will randomly select users in the lab to receive prizes.
Expert-led Workshops Expert-led Workshops are back at VMworld Europe. This year, we will have 14 Expert-led Workshops covering a range of topics from vRealize, Virtual SAN, NSX, to Horizon 6 with View and vCloud Air. This is your opportunity to learn from the Experts as they guide you through the content. It is also a great forum to ask questions of the Experts who can offer their real world experience and make it relevant to your environment. These 90-minute Workshops are not scheduled in advance. We will seat the first 20 attendees in queue at the lab start time. Based on what we saw at VMworld US in San Francisco, we recommend that you arrive 30 minutes prior to the start of the Workshop.
Self-Paced Labs
You have already seen the new content we have added just for VMworld Europe. Please drop by Hall 7 any time the labs are open and take any one of the labs we have to offer. No scheduling needed! We will also have a Hands-on Labs HotSpot located near the Registration Desk in Hall 8.
Staff Picks – Where to hang out in Barcelona… Café Academia – This is one of our absolute favorite restaurants – very small and intimate, looked after by some of the very best staff. We had 10 people in our party and the team was able to accommodate us with dinner access in their wine cellar. http://www.yelp.com/biz/cafe-de-l-academia-barcelona
Ginger Bar – Our favorite place to be seen, hang out. We love this place as it serves the very best Absynth adult beverages and great place for deep conversation about vPods and Pre-pops. The bartender keeps pretty busy and is always up for a great conversation. http://www.ginger.cat/benvinguts_a_Ginger_Barcelona.html
Restaurant ME – This was a new one we tried this trip – our friend Mark T. introduced us to the Chef – its an interesting fusion of Vietnamese, Catalan and Japanese dishes. We felt like royalty in this establishment – our favorite refreshment here was the Old Fashioned – with tobacco flavoring. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g187497-d1083636-Reviews-Restaurant_Me-Barcelona_Catalonia.html
La Bodegueta – Rambla de Catalunya – This is our favorite tapas spot in Barcelona – we have known the owners for years and it is always a great time waiting for a seat and chatting up with the local folks. English is not so much, but if you point and smile the folks there will be nice to you. The tomato bread is the best and the calamari is the best. Please be sure to tell them the guys from "VMware Hands-on Labs" sent you… http://rambla.labodegueta.ca/
See you soon! We cannot wait to meet you at the VMware Hands-on Labs at VMworld Europe in Hall 7!

What does everyone recommend to prepare for VMworld? Answer: REST Check out these 3 interviews for what to expect this year:
Joe Baguely, EMEA CTO of VMware, gives his advice and personal experiences:
Gavin Jackson, VMware VP and GM of Cloud Services in EMEA, recommends great sessions:
Can you image VMworld with just 600 attendees? Matt Piercy, VP of Northern EMEA, reminisces about the first VMworld, plus he shares the top 10 reasons to attend Partner Exchange this year:
Check out Duncan's Top 5 VMworld EMEA Recommended Deep Dive Geek Sessions
Have you heard of Eurovision? The annual song contest is based on each European country selecting one musical group to represent their nation, then the winners are chosen by popular vote. Much like Eurovision, VMworld brings together 92 different nationalities to share their newest endeavors (in technology and sometimes air guitar abilities). Based on the idea of attendee diversity and some friendly competition, we thought it would be interesting to rank the top 10 European countries represented at VMworld 2014 Europe in Barcelona, Spain.
We found it interesting to compare last year's attendance to see any changes. This year the top 5 countries by percentage include: UK (15.13%), Germany (13.35%), Netherlands (6.77%), Switzerland (4.55%) and Sweden (4.23%). The rankings were fairly different in 2013, when the top 5 countries by percentage were: UK (13.79%), Germany (11.78%), Netherlands (6.24%), Spain (6.10%) and France (5.90%), followed by Sweden, Italy, Norway, Switzerland and Russia. Some new countries this year in attendance include: Aland Islands, Armenia, New Caledonia, and Reunion Island.Hope you enjoyed these statistics and will follow along as we continue to track the top 10 countries attending VMworld 2014 Europe. Excited to meet all attendees in less than 30 days in Barcelona! Try these sites for more information on the 3-day agenda, travel, training, networking and sessions or hands-on labs.
Check out the "Official" Music Video from VMworld 2013 Europe!Cheers!

"Kings Inspire Kings first video"
On my recent trip to New York city I had the pleasure of interviewing the man behind all of my B.E.T. 106 and Park success, stylist Kwasi Kessie. This is my first Kings Inspire Kings video which videographer Derrick Woodyard captured this short but insightful interview from one male stylist to another. Check out the video as it displays our brief discussion about his success, styling and his thoughts about my Kings Rule Together line. - K.R.T.
"On the hunt for Danny Fox"
HyLo Boutiques brings you the culminating event of this month's urban excursions. A scavenger hunt for calligraphy artist and jewelry designer Danny Fox. Danny Fox has a stunning collection of industrial sterling silver rings. A master of his craft, Danny can spend hours designing in his South Philly studio oasis. But he also has an itch to explore the urban playground that lies outside his door.
Hylo Boutiques and Danny invites you to seek him out at his favorite local spots Saturday, March 31 through Sunday, April 1 for instant rewards and chances to win big prizes from our participants—from tees to rings to lunch for two! Here's how to play:
1. Visit participating businesses Saturday, March 31- Sunday, April 1 for a reward when you drop the name Danny Fox at the register.
2. Snap a photo of the #dannyfox icon at each location and tweet it @HyLoBoutiques using the hashtag #dannyfox to be entered into the raffle for insanely cool prizes from our merchants. Each tweet counts as a separate raffle entry.
3. Hit as many of the locations as you can and tweet a photo of each @HyLoBoutiques. The more photos we receive from you, the higher your odds of winning the prize.
Happy hunting!
This past Friday host of B.E.T.'s 106 and Park Terrance J was wearing the K.R.T. Limited edition black "Fatigue" hoodie on their popular freestyle Friday segment. This is now his third time he has been seen wearing the brand thanks to stylist Kwasi Kessi. He styled the hoodie with the Air Jordan IX "Olives" which are not due to be released until 11/2012. You can purchase this item for a short time period HERE. – K.R.T.
One of the guest on the show was west coast "Bay" area ambassador E 40
(Picture) I had the pleasure of watching the show live. This was my first time at 106 and Park and I didn't want to be in the crowd so they let me watch from the v.i.p. section which isn't really v.i.p. because i had to stand the entire time. Nonetheless It was an awesome experience.
"New Location for Arts, Beats and Eats"
Arts, Beats & Eats is a monthly networking mixer in the city of Philadelphia that contributes to the well being of society, through health initiatives and community service efforts. Shaheed Rucker, Gianni Lee and I have been implementing this event since May 2010. It has grown stupendously in the Tri-state area as one of the must highly attended networking events for the young creative entrepreneurs. We have teamed up with Lauren Tilghman and Danielle Jeter to help further pursue our Arts, Beats and Eats goals into 2012.
Arts, Beats & Eats is an event where individuals can grow both personally and professionally. Monthly themes focus on "giving back" through toy, book, clothing and food drives. Other themes have focused on educating our guests on health, political and social ills that plague our community. Our event allows individuals to enjoy live art, spoken word, and fine music while shopping from different local vendors.
This month's theme is Mind, Body, and Soul. Where we will present some of the best Artist, Models, Photographers and Designers.
****PLEASE NOTE LOCATION CHANGE*** The event takes place at North by Northwest located at 7165 Germantown Ave, on April 1st from 7pm-11pm.
Young 13 year old superstar Jaden Smith (Son of Philadelphia native Will Smith) recently took a picture wearing the Limited Edition salmon K.R.T. King hoodie. Looks as though he was impressed and took a picture in his trailer which he is currently shooting a new film with his father called " After Earth" and decided to share it with his millions of fans by sharing his new hoodie on Instagram. Maybe Jaden could be the spoke person for my K.R.T. Kids line coming soon, stay tune! – K.R.T.
You can purchase this hoodie HERE
Had the pleasure of meeting the Young King Jaden Smith at the mid party for After Earth at the trust building here in Philadelphia the other night. S/O to the Actor Todd Anthony (Far Left). – K.R.T.
