Exhibit raises the bar at the Frame Gallery
The experience of teenage girls is often oversimplified or relegated to chick flicks, pop music, and tumblr. On Friday night, however, the new Frame show On Becoming gave this group their due, spotlighting the young, modern, female experience with soft lighting and glittering gauze. Each piece of art was deeply personal yet universal and came together cohesively. Somehow even the snacks, red velvet cupcakes and pink lemonade, seemed to match the ethereal color pallet. Standing amidst the crush of trendy fur coats and listening to the excited buzz of voices, it felt like opening night at a professional gallery.
On Becoming is the brainchild of sophomore art major Paola Mathus, sophomore BXA with gender studies major Jenna Houston, sophomore BXA with computer science major Kate Werth, and sophomore BXA with Logic and Computation major Toni James. Houston laid out the basic premise of the show, saying "it's about the period of development between 13 and 22 for anyone female identified. And so I think we were thinking about things like changing into new bodies, relationships, I guess the beginnings of romantic relationships, and also how the Internet impacts those things." Each artist took the basic concept and ran with it, resulting in a multifaceted show that spans interpretations and media, with printmaking, animation, painting, videography, and photography all making an appearance.
When I first stepped into the gallery, I was immediately drawn to one of Houston's pieces in the back corner of the room. Simple and almost colorless, the piece, titled "Myself as her Doll, Myself as my Doll," is a series of six photographs lined up on white backgrounds, with lit candles underneath each one. The candles have pastel ribbons tied around their holders, and the whole piece evokes the aura of a child's memorial and seems somewhat 'old-fashioned.' A picture of a birthday cake with "Happy Birthday, Jenna" scrawled across lets us know we are peering into Houston's childhood. The piece conjures a profound sense of loss, even though the girl in the photos is only standing on the other side of the room.
This piece played well with the piece beside it, a projection by James of sketched faces blinking in and out of existence. The faces are each unique, but fail to leave much of an impression as they disappear. James said the work was, "about people who come and go in life. Just like a simple representation of that, and [it] tries to kind of capture a similar type of indifference towards that." The two pieces, along with James's other animation about losing her favorite hideaway spot, put an interesting lens on On Becoming, highlighting what is lost or left behind in the process of becoming a woman in today's society. They were emotive and subtle, the kind of pieces that bubble up in your consciousness weeks later. They were striking precisely because of the indifference James mentioned. There was no clear-cut message or single emotion, and instead the viewer had to grapple with a strange tangle of feelings that were much more human.
The other works in the show were less retrospective. Werth's work focuses more on the experience of relationships, using printmaking and text to explore romantic connections in the 21st century. One piece of her's is emblematic of her work in this show. It consists of a paragraph of poetic text printed repeatedly in white ink on a dark purple sheet. In places the text has been layered beyond recognition, in others it's as crisp as a page in a book. The text, according to Werth, is, "all dreams I've had while I was sleeping alone and just kind of missing the person I was in a relationship with." With its evocative imagery and thoughtful medium choice, the piece exemplifies her collection of strong, professional grade work. Her work gave the whole show a clear narrative.
Mathus' work spanned the back wall of the gallery, and her paintings were the gravitational center of the space with their bold colors and clean composition. Her two most engaging pieces were self-portraits. They both depicted the artist, but that was where the similarities ended. One was stark, with only a single, completely black figure sitting curled up in the middle of a blank white canvas. The other was painted in pale pastels, with an overlay of abstract shapes and glitter. The juxtaposition between these two paintings highlights a complicated idea Mathus brings up in this show. She has been focusing on the self-portrait, because "as a visual artist and as a painter I feel like visuals and identity have just merged together into this really strange, single form of identification for myself … I feel like having just a visual portrait of yourself is such a strange idea to me, and playing along those terms I feel like any of the portraits I make end up being different iterations of what myself and what a portrait and what my art could ever be." Her paintings were perhaps the most difficult and inaccessible pieces at the show, but were also conceptually interesting and complex. What makes them difficult to digest is the level of ambiguity in them. They seem to contain more questions than answers, and that makes them a fascinating experience.
The back room of the gallery held Houston's second piece, a two panel video of her, dressed in her underwear, putting Disney princess temporary tattoos on herself and scratching them off. On the surface the piece seemed blatant — female sexualization is hardly a new topic — but while the broad topic may be overplayed, Houston's specific angle was engaging and fresh. The piece explores the actual physicality of the body, and how "at this age [women] begin to become sexualized by media, other people, themselves, any of those things. And yet it's also the time when you have, when you personally find the most flaws with your body." It explores "the juxtaposition of a marred body versus a sexualized one." The concept of self-sexualization, even in the face of personal insecurity, was shrewdly illustrated by the voyeuristic, yet hesitant feeling of the videos, and the fact that Houston herself was the subject matter.
Mathus summed up the artist's different takes on the subject of female coming of age in the 21st century, saying, "I think we all evolve through very different ways. Like Jenna's visual representations and social and cultural stigmas and these different subjects, and Toni's a lot about these retrospective moments, and Kate focuses on the relational and … you putting yourself along with technology and the real world into these relationships. So we're all focusing on very different works." Mathus' own work seems to focus on personal identity and the conception of the self.
The girls also have diverging conceptions about what they want people to take away from the show. James says she hopes to give people, "understanding … or just a glimpse as to what it is [like for girls at that age]. I think what this gallery does is kind of put people in that place themselves, where as maybe before they couldn't." Houston's goal differed slightly because "a lot of the work I do make is for that group. Despite the fact that we're trying to put other people in that place, I think I'm also trying to bring people who are in that place, some of their things to light, because I feel like sometimes they're not."
Mathus came into the show from a different direction. For her, "it's not necessarily about you having to put yourself in my shoes, but this is what I'm experiencing, this is what I'm living, and these are the things I'm thinking about and considering, and it's … not necessarily to put themselves in my shoes, but more to just see what my shoes are."
Despite these differences, the four girls seem to work together effortlessly. Without coordinating they all arrived in a similar color scheme (mostly soft or dusty purples, pinks, and blues) and aesthetic. In a show full of glitter, bows, and Disney princesses, some people might call them out for falling back on the generically feminine. Mathus counters this conception, saying, "at first we were like, we all love these colors and these things but we don't want to be pigeon holed by stereotypes or clichéd concepts of what 'girl' is. But then we realized, no, we just like these things and it doesn't matter if they fall under these ideas. It's who we are and what our art looks like." The effect is an unabashedly honest show.
With a group of artists that click so well, I would have liked to see more intermixing of their pieces. Their different conceptions of what it means to "become" in this day and age played off of each other well, yet the curating of the show kept each artist and concept separate. The placement of Houston's memorial and James' animations was a brilliant move, and I would have liked to see that spirit carried throughout the space.
On the surface, these clear motifs may seem heavy-handed, but as you spend time with each piece and with the show as a whole, the unique, personal angle becomes clear. I will keep returning to Werth's poetic descriptions and James' nostalgic animations for a long time. I have already had several illuminating conversations about Mathus' and Houston's work as I try to unpack the questions they raised.
By the time this hits stands, On Becoming will be no more. The impression it made, however, remains. This show has raised the bar for exhibits at The Frame. Jenna Houston, Paola Mathus, Kate Werth, and Toni James are all artists worth keeping an eye on.

Scottish landlords must start preparing for new regulations under Energy Efficient Scotland, which will come into force in less than a year's time.
From 1st April 2020, all new private tenancies (even for existing tenants) in Scotland will require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of at least E. This will extend to all private rental properties (including those on existing contracts) by 31st March 2022.
However, when there is a change in tenancy after 1st April 2022, properties must need a minimum EPC rating of D, while all private rental homes will require at least a D rating by the end of March 2025. More detail on how these standards will be applied will be set out alongside draft regulations later this year.
Landlords who fail to comply with the rules under Energy Efficient Scotland will face fines of up to £4,000.
Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, first launched Energy Efficient Scotland in May 2018.
She announced that the Scottish Government is committed to improving the energy efficiency of homes in the private rental sector, so that tenants can enjoy housing that is warmer and cheaper to heat.
Private rental accommodation typically has poorer energy efficiency than other sectors in the domestic property market.
The Scottish Government has also proposed long-term domestic standards of EPC C by 2030, where it is technically feasible and cost effective.
It has produced the following guide for landlords on improving energy efficiency in their properties: https://www.gov.scot/publications/energy-efficient-scotland-user-guide-private-landlords/
Energy Efficient Scotland mirrors similar rules introduced under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) in England and Wales in April 2018.
We remind all landlords across the UK to comply with relevant energy efficiency laws in the countries in which you own rental properties. We will continue to keep you up to date with your legal responsibilities.

Why Sandboxes Will Never Be As Secure As Remote Browser Isolation
Why Sandboxes Will Never Be As Secure As Remote Browser Isolation
A few months back, Google released details about a Google Chrome vulnerability being exploited in the wild. While the details about the Chrome vulnerability were informative, what I personally found interesting was the details about a second vulnerability in Microsoft Windows that was being exploited in tandem with this vulnerability.
As you may know, Google Chrome uses a security sandbox around the Chrome renderer processes as a way to mitigate any exploit in the browser. The thought is that if/when the Chrome browser gets exploited, the security sandbox can stop the exploit code from causing any damage to the host system.
For this particular security release, it says that a use-after-free bug in Chrome was being used to exploit the Chrome browser. Then, it used this second bug in Microsoft Windows to escape the sandbox.
This highlights one of the main weaknesses of sandbox technology in general. In one approach, an attacker can try to escape a sandbox by finding a flaw in the sandbox itself. If a sandbox is really well designed (as the Chrome sandbox is), this can be a daunting task. But, due to how sandboxes work, attackers could always just exploit the host operating system kernel instead, like they did in this particular attack. This is oftentimes an easier way to escape a sandbox, since the attackers can leverage the much larger attack surface of the OS kernel.
Remote Browser Isolation, like used in Light Point Web, takes the concept of a security sandbox to the next level. Instead of using the operating system to try to isolate a risky browser process, we move the browsing process off of the system entirely. This makes it impossible for exploit code to even attempt to attack the user's local operating system. Attacks like the one discussed here are completely mitigated when using Light Point Web, even if you are using a vulnerable version of Chrome and/or Windows.

Tristan Thompson And Khloé Kardashian Aren't Living Together Right Now
When last we checked in on the situation between Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson, the cheating father of her week-old daughter True, sources said that any united front was a lie and they weren't even on speaking terms. There might be a good reason for why they can't muster a chilly "Good morning" to each other at the breakfast table. According to People, they're not living in the same house.
Khloé is currently living in Tristan's house in Cleveland with True until a doctor gives her the ok to fly back to L.A.. A source tells People that it may be Tristan's home, but he's not there. He just swings by to visit True. The source claims Khloé "has very little to do" with him, because she's so mad about the cheating. One source tells E! News that her only interactions with Tristan are when he visits their daughter. However, another source tells E! News that Khloé still loves Tristan, and that she wants to forgive him so that True can have a father.
If Tristan isn't hanging out at his house, at the basketball court. Except…not really. E! News says that Tristan was benched last night during an NBA playoff game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Indiana Pacers. He only did slightly better last Sunday, when he got a whopping two minutes of court time. He got 30 minutes of playing time a week ago, but was booed.
So after a long night of feeling his ass become numb on a bench, where does Tristan go afterwards? He doesn't go home. My guess is he's staying at a hotel. Hotels are his favorite home away from home. Fresh sheets, room service, a discrete concierge to let in whatever "guests" you may choose to invite over, not having to strap pillows to your ears every time Khloé makes a FaceTime call to her annoying family? This is starting to sound less and less like like a punishment for Tristan.

A ST JOHN'S man has been putting petrol into his car without paying throughout the last four years.
Christopher Lane, of East Comer, pleaded guilty at Worcester Magistrates Court on Friday (September 4) to committing nine counts of fraud between September 2011 and January 2015 to gain £97.50.
Kerry Lovegrove, prosecuting, said: "On nine occasions between the dates you have heard the defendant has gone to various different garages and put a low amount of fuel in his vehicle with no means to pay.
"He completed a No Means To Pay form but failed to make the payment within seven days.
"They were all low amounts, the highest on one occasion being £20.18 but on many occasions it was £10 or less."
Defence solicitor, Gary Harper, said: "Mr Lane is 35-years-old and went 30 years of his life without coming to the attention of the court but five years ago began a heroin addiction and lost his job.
"He was able to get quite a good job after that as an area manager for a bed company.
"He did not have the money to put petrol in the vehicle to fulfil his job role, so what he was doing was putting petrol into his car to get to work.
"It is not like he was filling it up and disappearing, he was filling it up as much as he needed on that particular day.
"He has dealt with his drug taking now by way of Swanswell and has been clean for a couple of months."
Chair of the bench Fiona James gave Lane a 12 month community order with 60 hours of unpaid work. He was also fined £100 and ordered to pay £97.50 to the various stations involved as well as £105 prosecution costs and a £60 victim surcharge.

Decisions-Decisions! As prom season approaches in Atlanta's South Fulton community, many decisions have to be made. In this evolving era of technology and social media, teen proms have become more than a high school tradition. Prom Night has morphed into the social event of the season where Instagram is king. Most young ladies and gentlemen are gearing up for the most extravagant "Promposal" or the event of asking a potential date out to the prom with hopes that their creative ideas to ask the big question will be captured on social media and go viral. Regardless of new trends in accepting and attending the ultimate date night, there are a few etiquette guidelines that will help make planning the event less stressful and drama free for teens and parents.
Create a Prom Budget:
Financing the prom can cost a small fortune without proper planning and communication. The question is who pays? Traditionally, the gentleman paid for all expenses including tickets, limo, pictures, and dinner. Today, whoever is asking, whether gentleman or young lady, should pay for the prom tickets. The other cost should be agreed upon among the families well in advance in order to mitigate confusion.
Choose the Date:
No longer does the young lady have to wait to be asked to the prom. Today, young ladies ask gentlemen and groups of friends attend the prom together. Rule of thumb, after a prom invitation has been accepted, go out on a date prior to the prom in order to become acquainted with one another in a social setting outside of school. In addition, families should meet to agree upon prom night expectations, curfews and schedule. Be mindful that once an invitation to the prom has been accepted and plans are made, teens should keep their word and stick to the date.
Discuss Prom Attire:
Prom attire may vary from school to school. Masquerade, Mardi Gras and Hollywood are a few popular prom themes that may dictate the attire. Prom invitations should address the theme and become the guide to what to wear. When deciding the color schemes of the dress and the tuxedo, parties should discuss in advance before purchases and rentals are made in order to avoid mismatch attire. Flowers are an integral and symbolic part of the attire. Gentlemen should order corsages two weeks in advance and pin on the ladies' left side of the gown; ladies should order boutonnieres two weeks in advance for gentlemen and place on the left lapel.

Background: Previous studies suggested genetic variations in PSCA (prostate stem cell antigen) may confer the susceptibility of cancer. Many case–control studies have reported the relationship between PSCA rs2294008 C > T polymorphism and cancer, especially gastric cancer and bladder cancer. However, the results are inconsistent. This meta-analysis is aimed at evaluating the association of rs2294008 polymorphism with cancer risk.
Methods: The databases of PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge, EMBASE, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were searched for related publications. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate the strength of the associations. Fixed models were used when heterogeneity among studies was not detected, otherwise the random model was used.
Results: Twenty-six studies from 24 articles with 30,050 multiple cancer cases and 51,670 controls were pooled into this meta-analysis. The results showed that the rs2294008 polymorphism was associated with increased cancer risk in any genetic model (T vs C, OR: 1.18, 95% CI: 1.08–1.28; TT vs CC, OR: 1.36, 95% CI: 1.14–1.62; TC vs CC, OR: 1.29, 95% CI: 1.17–1.44; TT + TC vs CC, OR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.18–1.49; TT vs TC + CC, OR: 1.15, 95% CI: 1.02–1.30). In stratified analysis by cancer type, we found that the T allele had a significant high risk of gastric and bladder cancer, but not in other cancers. In subgroup analysis by ethnicity, increased cancer risk was found in both Asians and Caucasians.
Conclusion: Our study suggested that the PSCA rs2294008 C > T polymorphism is a risk factor for cancer, especially in gastric and bladder cancer.

Twitter is a Marketing tool
Twitter is a very cut down and simple version of Facebook. In fact it would seem that Twitter basically is just a Facebook status update (but restricted to 140 characters!) Simple functions of Twitter would involve tweeting, using hashtags, using @ tags to publicly contact people, and send people personal messages.
So – if it's all this simple how can people be making so much business out of it?
Every company has a profession, and if you're seen to be a professional in your field then it would make life a considerably easier for you when it comes to making sales.
Professional in your field
To be seen as a professional within your profession on Twitter you will need to answer questions concerning your profession, so now you need to be the first person to answer the questions, meaning that you're going to have to be one of the first people to see the tweet that was asking the question.
This is where the Twitter search comes into play.
Twitter search
Every public page on Twitter whether it's a profile, a search, or your Twitter home page – they all have RSS feeds connecting to them.
RSS feeds are a way of syndicating information, and so stay up-to-date constantly.
So carry out a search on Twitter for your profession and see what others are saying on the subject.
Any questions that you can answer you should answer publicly using the @ tag and replying to the person who originally asked the question.
Twitter Marketing
Once you've found your profession through the Twitter search then you need to grab the RSS feed for this search term (RSS feed link in the bottom of the right hand column).
With RSS feeds you can either subscribe through an email client like Outlook or Thunderbird, or use an online feed reader like Google Reader.
Now every time someone talks about your chosen profession it will appear in your feed reader and notify you.
Tweet Deck
Want to make things even easier for yourself? Download an application called TweetDeck – Here you can have multiple Twitter searches open at the same time and you will get updates direct to your desktop application.

I have a big problem with my Oracle linked tables.
I used a table to check the prices on a retail system.
My Access application let enter new items on the system but the customer ask me if the item is already present on the Retail system and in that case to check if the price is changed.
So to do this I have linked the Oracle tables of the Retail system and with a query I check if the price is different.
I realize that the prices from the linked Oracle table are not showed on the right way.
For example if a price is 119$ it show correct 119 but if the price is 119,90$ it show 1199.
It seems that does not show the decimals separator.
Has anyone already had this problem in the past?
Is there a way to show the linked data in the correct way?
Many thanks

MAKE: CHEVROLET /MODEL: CRUZE /YEAR: 2011 to 2014 /ENGINE: 1.8L
Unlike other compact models release through Chevrolet, the Chevy Cruze is arguably one of the more exciting models Chevy has released. With a gas average of 29 miles-per-gallon (MPG), the Chevy Cruze is an affordable fuel efficient compact. The vehicle is rated very high in most area's however one place where it lacks is performance. The Chevy Cruze will satisfy most but if you are anything like us then you know you will be left unsatisfied asking for more performance.
The K&N 69-4522TS performance air intake for the 2011 – 2014 Chevy Cruze brings your car to life by taking the place of your stock intake system. The performance air intake pushes cooler air into your engine allowing your engine not to work as hard that will free up power that was being lost. The K&N performance air intake is designed with mandrel-bent aluminum tubes that have a smoother finish than the stock intake hoses which reduces air-flow restriction. Your engine will sound more aggressive and feel more power once you install this application.
The engine really comes to life with the K&N performance air intake kit. The high-flow air filter adds a deep growl to your engine when the filter is sucking in air. All thought the noise is great at first, it can get a bit overwhelming when traveling on long trips. When people hear your car coming down the road they will all ask you what you have under your hood.
Your Chevy Cruze will feel a noticeable power gain after installing the performance air intake. Once you free your engine up with power that was being robbed with the stock intake system, your car will feel more aggressive on the roads. You will actually like stopping at red lights just so you can punch the throttle to feel and hear your car perform better than it has in years.
Key Features:
- Estimated horsepower gain of 5.65 HP at 5940 RPM
- Designed to improve throttle response and engine sound
- Easy to install, usually in 90 minutes or less
- Replaces stock air intake system
- Lasts up to 100,000 miles before service is required (depending on driving conditions)
Verified Customer Reviews:
"Received the product within good time. Good delivery. Immediately went to have it installed. This would have been simple but slight modifications had to be made for my 2013 Chevy cruze. With that done I immediately heard and felt the difference in the test drive. Improved power and throttle response accompanied by a sexy growl from the engine. Have not honestly been able to compare gas consumption because my driving conditions vary a lot but I believe that it has improved. Be careful though-because of the beautiful new sound of the engine when revved and the increased power you will be tempted to drive a little harder thereby neutralizing potential gas mileage gains. Would readily recommend this product" – Sheldon
"Couldn't be any happier with this! Cheap at $230 and got it installed at my shop for $115 (1 hour) and it's exactly what I wanted- it makes the 'vroom' sound like a sports car and kicks up the acceleration too! Since the LS doesn't have turbo like the 1.4L LTs do, this is a must buy if looking for better performance!" – Dan
The K&N 69-4522TS Performance Air Intake for the 2011 – 2014 Chevy Cruze 1.8L engine will bring your car to life and add a lot more excitement when traveling. The performance intake system is backed by a million mile warranty and has been manufactured to with stand all the abuse your engine throws at it.
All the hardware is included with this performance air intake kit. An easy–to-follow set of installation instructions are also included that will allow anyone to install this performance air intake kit themselves. Many of the customers have found that the installation is a breeze and can be completed under an hour.
If you are looking for more performance and want your Chevy Cruze to sound more aggressive then this is the performance air intake kit for you.
Head over to Amazon's store to see how much the K&N 49-4522TS performance air intake kit is going for. They are always lowering their prices and run sales often so you might be surprise how little you will have to pay for this performance air intake kit.

It was written in 1961, and is a paraphrase of the Mary's Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55) from the New English Bible,
With meter 10.10.10.10, tunes it has been set set to include:
- TIDINGS by William Llewellyn - the tune which the hymn was originally published with
- WOODLANDS composed by English composer Walter Greatorex (1877-1949) in 1916 - by far the most-commonly used tune
- GO FORTH by Michael Baughen (b 1930 - in it's 2nd publication
- BIRMINGHAM by Francis Cunningham from Wyeth's Repository of Sacred Music II 1813;
- MORESTEAD by Sidney Watson (1964)
- WINTON by George Dyson, (1883-1964)
- An unnamed setting by Irish composer Ephram Feeley (ref)
Today, it is often regarded as an old traditional hymn, despite being written in the early 1960's.. This wasn't always the case: it was included in the 1981 publication Songs of the Spirit II - More Songs and Hymns of the Renewal and this suggests that the hymn was used in a wide variety of settings and regarded as new / different a that time.
ExamplesAll are to the tune WOODFORD, unless noted otherwise.
Large choir with organ, cathedral setting:
Large choir with band - for a TV performance:
Singer with keyboard / backing - contemporary style:
Choir with organ, tune BIRMINGHAM
Singer self-accompanied on guitar, rock beat:

LyricsThe lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:
1 Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord ...
2 Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his name ...
3 Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his might ...
4 Tell out, my soul, the glories of his word ...

Belgium Highlighted as Wildlife Trade Hub
Belgium's central role as an importer and distributor of wildlife products within the E.U. has been highlighted in a TRAFFIC and WWF Belgium report submitted to the nation's Houses of Parliament.
The new study, Wildlife trade in Belgium: An analysis of CITES trade and seizure data, examines trade in species listed under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), and identifies Belgium's role in trade between Africa to Asia.
The study identified Belgium as the top E.U. importer of reptile commodities within the E.U., as reported by weight. This trade was dominated by reptile meat with Belgium responsible for importing 787,251kg of mainly Nile Crocodile Crocodylus niloticus meat, predominantly from Zimbabwe over the period studied, 2007–2016. However, based on the available data, it is unclear if the imported meat is consumed in Belgium or traded on within the E.U., due to the E.U. single market and free movement of goods.
Belgium was also the second largest importer of plant products, including timber, by volume, into the E.U. during the time period with trade dominated by sawn wood - just over 68,129 cubic meters - particularly Afrormosia Pericopsis elata originating from Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Yet despite the large volumes of timber entering Belgium, seizures of wood deemed to be illegally imported were rare: "this disparity highlights the need for Belgium to ensure it is not being used as an illegal trade hub for protected timber species," write the report's authors. They recommend that targeted controls of CITES-listed timber imports at Antwerp sea port need to be increased, stating that special attention should be paid to timber products coming from the African continent, particularly the DRC and Cameroon.
Plant imports included significant quantities of species with known medicinal properties, including 213,919kg of wild-sourced African Cherry Prunus africana bark, used to treat a variety of ailments ranging from fevers to insanity, through to use as an appetite stimulant.
An analysis of wildlife seizures found Belgium to be a major intermediary in the illegal transport of CITES-listed commodities such as plant-derived medicinal products, reptile derived leather products, ivory and seahorse bodies. The data suggest that these commodities in transit through Belgium are mainly coming from West and Central Africa, going to China and are being shipped through air transport and postal systems. The report states that Antwerp seaport is also used as a transit point in the movement of illegal wildlife such as skins, ivory and sea horses.

Alterra Wealth Management Presents:
|WEEKLY QUOTE"When the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail."
– Abraham Maslow
If much of your net worth is tied to the value of your home and you are seeing home equity as a tool to help fund your retirement, recognize that the ups and downs of your local real estate market may alter that possibility.
A cat falls into a hole 14.5 feet deep. The cat can jump 3 feet high, but she slides back 1 foot with each jump. How many jumps does it take her to get out of the hole?
Last week's riddle:
I am usually only as wide as a thumb, and I typically travel across the nation for less than a dollar, all while lying flat. What am I?
Last week's answer:
A postage stamp.
August 12, 2013
Last month saw solid expansion in U.S. service industries, according to the July non-manufacturing PMI from the Institute for Supply Management. ISM's latest service sector PMI came in at 56.0 compared with 52.2 in June. July's new orders index rose 6.9% to 57.7, and July's business activity index climbed 8.7% to 60.4.1
Last week in Phoenix, the President said that "private capital should take a bigger role in the mortgage markets" and advocated the passage of bipartisan legislation circulating in the Senate that would "end Fannie and Freddie as we know them" and create a Federal Mortgage Insurance Corporation to regulate the home financing system. Even though winding down Fannie and Freddie has widespread support, mortgage interest rates would likely rise without their credit guarantees.2,3
The short answer: it looks better than many analysts had expected. Just after Friday's close, Bloomberg reported that 447 firms in the S&P 500 had reported quarterly results; 72% of them had beaten the profit projections of analysts and 56% had exceeded sales forecasts.4
NYMEX crude settled up at $106.03 per barrel Friday after rising 2.54% in a trading day. On the COMEX, gold ended the week at $1,314.60 an ounce, up $3.90 Friday.5
The big three all traded lower last week. The Dow went -1.49% to settle at 15,425.51 Friday, the NASDAQ went -0.80% to end the week at 3,660.11, and the S&P 500 went -1.07% to wrap up the week at 1,691.42.6
THIS WEEK: Monday brings earnings from Sysco. July retail sales numbers from the Census Bureau, a report on June business inventories and earnings from Flower Foods and Cree arrive Tuesday. Wednesday, the July Producer Price Index appears, plus earnings from Cisco, NetApp, Deere, Macy's and NetEase. July's Consumer Price Index comes out Thursday, along with the August NAHB Housing Market Index, numbers on July industrial output, and quarterly results from Nordstrom, Applied Materials, Kohl's and Wal-Mart. Friday, the initial August consumer sentiment index from the University of Michigan appears, along with numbers on July housing starts and building permits.

Prior to joining ViON, Ms. Anthony served as Senior Manager at Cisco and NetApp, where she was responsible for the U.S. Public Sector strategy and developing integrated programs with key partners.

How have you personally helped advance your company's channel business over the past year?
Over the past four years, the needs of OEMs and System integrators/Service Providers has dramatically changed and we have managed to not only change with it, but be recognized as providing "best practices" for working in this new ecosystem. We've been asked to take more of a lead in customer acquisition and drive new opportunities. The channel is streamlining to move to a model that appreciates strong partnerships, sales and marketing focus and subject matter expertise. I've led my team to develop a partner marketing program that has been highlighted as a "Best Practice" by our partners including Hitachi, Nutanix and DellEMC. As the industry moves from selling boxes to selling solutions in an as-a-Service model, we have quickly embraced the new approach. I launched the ViON MarketPlace in February that is changing IT acquisition, giving end users access to information across a large part of the sales funnel from research to procurement. This creates significant value for both the customer and the OEM, which has increased our value with these audiences. The market is responding exceedingly well to our Data Center as-a-Service message and it is driving end users to consider a new way to manage their IT challenges.
What are your goals for your company's channel business over the next year?
Our goal is to increase revenue with channel partners in a highly strategic fashion, meeting the needs of customers with our as-a -Service model using the ViON MarketPlace or customizing it for partners to drive sales. That custom marketplace allows us to amplify our salesforce and accelerate customer acquisition. Leveraging our large portfolio of anything as-a-Service and providing this marketplace platform gives customers more control thereby driving a new way to procure IT. Our goal is to improve the lives of customers who are struggling with modernization and these efforts have really provided IT managers with so many more options.
What honors, awards, or commendations have you won over the past year?
• 2017 Women of the Channel Award; Awarded by CRN • Executives Leadership Board, Executives With Heart Campaign, raising $7,000 individually for the American Heart Association • Top Public Sector System Integrator for 2017, NetApp • CMO Club, Presenter, "How to Create a Strategic Channel Model" • CMO Council, Advisory Board Member, 2018 • Finalist, Women in Technology, Washington DC (May 2018)
Outside of your family, please name a woman you admire and why:
I have great admiration for first female chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board of Governors. She epitomizes STEM and what it stands for. She is a distinguished scholar, economic and monetary policy trailblazer, and consensus builder. She was instrumental in working with President Obama and Wall Street to avert the 2008-2010 financial crisis. She is also a huge advocate for reducing unemployment because of the impact it has on families and the economy overall, with unemployment dropping from 6.7% to 4.1% during her tenure. I believe she is truly an inspiration.
What advice would you give your 16-year-old self?
I would say your career is not a straight path and you will have many forks in the road with options for success. Be prepared, take risks and have fun! Stretch beyond your comfort zone and do more than you imagined. If you do your best each day - it becomes a habit. Work is part of life but having other passions is important for a healthy balance. We need women that are role models in their areas of business but also in their communities and families. Give back and donate your time to help others, you'll get it back tenfold!
If you could master any new job-related skill, what would it be and why?
Listening! In my position as SVP Marketing, I work with many different internal teams, partners and customers. Everyone has a different story and point of view. I continue to work to enhance my listening skills to build consensus, help teams become more productive, enhance partner relationships and really understand the customer experience with ViON. With the different business challenges in the market today and the fast pace of change, I have to always be listening and thinking of the next step. I feel that when you are listening, you become a lifelong learner, which is important to me.
What's the best book you read this past year and why did you like it?
I recently read "The Underground Railroad" by Colson Whitehead. It is a story of slavery and the during the Civil War. I loved how complex the characters were and how they really learned their own personal power and what they could endure. Many did things they never thought they were capable of to escape. The main character had a ferocious will to survive, which I admire. It was also a story of hope and I think everyone needs a healthy dose of that in daily life.

Currently the United States' sixth largest trading partner, Hong Kong remains a strategic market for the USDA, especially as a role model to other markets worldwide in terms of access and quality control
By Blessing Waung
Michael Scuse, the United States Department of Agriculture Undersecretary of Agriculture for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services, had never been to Hong Kong before his visit in March. However, what he saw upon his first visit, he liked.
"Hong Kong is our sixth largest trading partner behind China, Canada, Mexico, Japan and the combined countries in the EU," Scuse says. "This is a very important market for us."
With its strategic geographical location, as well as a compliant, transparent government, Hong Kong is an ideal export partner for the US. "Hong Kong is a very easy place to export to," Scuse says. "It's unfortunate that other countries around the world don't use this as a model. And that's one of the reasons why we look at the trade agreements to make it easier to do trade, to break down some of the sanitary barriers that we're facing in other countries."
"If we could use this model, it would make trade so much easier for everyone," Scuse says. "And we would be able to move a lot more products, give citizens of other regions and countries access to products that they may not have access to today, which I think that's the great thing about Hong Kong – the variety and the access that you have."
Through this access, Hong Kong citizens are able to select and purchase many products from the US. "When you look at Mainland China and some other countries within the region, you are looking at a lot of grain, and that's not the case here in Hong Kong," Scuse says. "You are looking at more high-end. You are looking at the wine. You are looking at fruits and vegetables."
According to reports from the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service, imports of high value food products from the US to Hong Kong have surpassed US$4 billion, making it the leading food supplier to Hong Kong.
"I see a growing market here for many other products that we produce in the United States," Scuse says. "When you look at the growth that Hong Kong is experiencing, as well as the level of income from the resident citizens, I look for us to continue expanding our market share."
Mark Michelson, Peter Johnston, AmCham President Richard Vuylsteke, USDA Under Secretary Michael T. Scuse, US Consul General Clifford Hart, Alan Turley
In order to meet demands for products, Scuse says that the US is looking to new solutions, including doing more research and development in the field of biotechnology.
"We need to start talking about biotech products, again other than yields," Scuse says. "We need to talk about what biotech products are going to do for the environment, especially the climate change that is taking place today. If we are going to feed 9 billion people by 2050, the only way that we are going to do it is through science. We are not making any more land, so it's going to take science."
According to Scuse, "Going forward, science and technology are going to be extremely important to feed the growing world population, so I think there is some opportunities for the United States and China to work together in the science technology area to increase food production as well as food safety."
In Hong Kong, there are no specific regulations pertaining to the labeling of biotech food products. In other countries, for example in the European Union, there is a delineation between conventional and biotech foods. However, Hong Kong's stance on labeling is one where GMO products can be voluntary labeled, if vendors so choose.
"I believe that our farmers and ranchers produce very best, high quality products be found anywhere in the world. And if you look at the growth that we have experienced, the last six years have been the biggest six years for agriculture trade history of the United States. Last year, we broke the record again with US$152.5 billion worth of agriculture trade."
A large piece of the strategic puzzle is focused upon this region of the world, Scuse says, where the growth has been faster than any other.
"If you look at just what it's happened in trade in China, where in 2009 we were going approximately 12 billion dollars' worth of agricultural trade to last year, just under 30 billion dollars' worth of trade. That's a significant in a very short period of time."
Red Meat
Meat is also at the top of the USDA's agenda, as Hong Kong granted US. Beef cuts and offal products full market access on in June of 2014.
AmCham President Richard Vuylsteke, USDSA Under Secretary Michael T. Scuse, US Consul General Clifford Hart
"We have the best the best meat products I think that can be found anywhere in the world," Scuse says. "Whether it's beef, pork or poultry. With Hong Kong granting us access, hopefully, China will take those next steps and grant us full access for beef products."
The US's main competitor for red meat exports is Brazil, which accounts for 39 percent of the chilled and frozen red meat category. However, restaurants or high-end consumers in Hong Kong still largely prefer US beef.
Additionally, prepared and preserved red meats from China have more than twice the market share than that of the US, because of their price competitiveness and their preparation that ready-made for the products needed for typical Chinese dishes.
Transpacific Partnership
In order to continue the success of the USDA, though, much depends on the passing on the Transpacific Partnership. "Those countries that are part of the Transpacific Partnership represent 40% of the global GDP," Scuse says. "So the potential for the increased agricultural trade if we can bring the TPP home and get it passed – what it means to agriculture is absolutely tremendous."
Negotiations are still ongoing with the twelve member countries on the TPP, but it remains one of President Obama's primary trade agenda goals. "I think we are getting very close to bringing the TPP to conclusion. The one thing that we really and truly need to actually get it finished is for Congress to give the president trade promotion authority," Scuse says.
Universal Quality
As Hong Kong enacted its Food Safety Ordinance in 2012 with higher standards to protect its consumers, including a registration program for food importers and distributors. Additionally, it requires traders to maintain their business records for better food traceability.
According to Scuse, no matter who the end consumer is, the USDA is committed to maintaining food safety standards that would the same for those consuming the products at home.
"But again, we believe that with the products that we are producing, the safety that goes into those products. We are recognized throughout the world as having the safest products to be found," Scuse says. "When you look at the quality of our products, if you look at the price point for the quality that you are getting, we believe there is a tremendous potential and opportunity for American agriculture. That's one of the reasons why we are doing trade missions."
"In my travels, no matter where I go in the world, people in countries recognize the quality of U.S. products and they recognize the safety of U.S. products," Scuse says. "The United States goes to great ranks to protect its consumers. And because of that, we're also protecting citizens of our trading partners."
"We have one system. It's a single system for our citizens and for our exports. The food safety standards are the same."

Legal Cannabis May Be Coming To South Dakota
PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota groups submitted separate signed petitions Monday that would allow residents to vote next year on whether to legalize medical marijuana and recreational marijuana. Monday was the deadline for submitting signatures to the South Dakota secretary of state's office for measures for the November 2020 ballot. One proposal would create a medical marijuana program for patients with serious health conditions. The other would legalize marijuana for adults 21 and older and require the state Legislature to enact a hemp cultivation law. New Approach South Dakota submitted more than 30,000 signatures to put the medical marijuana initiative on the ballot. The same group tried to get medical marijuana on South Dakota's ballot last year but fell short of enough valid signatures. The minimum number of signatures required for an initiative to change state law is 16,961. Melissa Mentele, director of New Approach South Dakota and sponsor of the medical marijuana ballot initiative, said her group has asked the Legislature to approve medical marijuana for years. "Despite the fact that a strong majority of South Dakotans support allowing legal, regulated, and safe access to medical marijuana for patients with debilitating conditions, elected officials have failed to take…
