Flying Gold Out of Tibet (Nov, 1936)
This seemed sadly topical.
Flying Gold Out of Tibet
Planes Invade Land of the Lamas CARRYING millions of dollars worth of gold out of Tibet by airplane is the job of a young American who has become a cabinet minister in the Government of the Panchen Lama.
Until the present, Tibet, remote and inaccessible, has resisted all encroachments of the Machine Age.
Now, the Panchen Lama, back on the throne after a 12-year exile in China, has decided to modernize the country with radios, automobiles, hydro-electric plants, and other inventions.
The gold that has lain idle in the country's 3,000 monasteries will be used to purchase the necessary equipment. Gordon B. Enders, American, and the only foreigner ever appointed to a high position in the Tibetan Government, has been commissioned to perform an extraordinary task in connection with this modernization program. His main job this year is to collect and transport as much gold as he can possibly carry from the rock-bound interior of Tibet to safekeeping in China.
This is the gold which sooner or later will find its way to the United States, as payment for purchases of all sorts of machinery and special equipment, such as the Panchen Lama wants for his country.
"Unknown to most of the world," said Enders, interviewed during a brief stay in New York, "the monasteries of Tibet have been collecting gold dust for at least six or seven centuries. This gold belongs to the ruling power because the Church and the Government are the same in Tibet. How much gold has thus been accumulated, it is hard to say, but it has been estimated to be about $100,000,000."
One hundred million dollars will certainly buy a great deal of American machinery. The Panchen Lama does not, however, plan to spend all his gold at once, for the country cannot be modernized rapidly.
The high altitudes, blizzards, and winds prevailing during most of the year will prevent Enders from flying in all but three summer months. He plans to fly out about $3,000,000 worth of gold dust during the first season of operations. At the rate of even $3,000,000 per flying season, Enders will have his hands full for some years to come.
The first commercial shipment of radios and automobiles ever to enter the Forbidden Land recently accompanied the Panchen Lama on his triumphal entry into Tibet, with a great caravan of priests, pilgrims, and pack animals. The automobiles and radios were knocked down and loaded on the backs of animals. They were purchased for the Panchen Lama by Enders.
China claims sovereignty over Tibet, and she has built a new capital for the Panchen Lama at a place called Kokonor, overlooking a great salt lake perched at an altitude of 10,600 feet, and having a circumference of 230 miles. Surrounded by a trained garrison of 3,000 men, the Panchen Lama rules over 3,000,000 people scattered over an area of about 500,000 square miles.
From the capital at Kokonor it is 180 miles to the Lufthansa Air Terminal at Lanchowfu, in Kansuh Province, China. The German all-metal planes make trips to the outside world twice each week.
But reaching the Lufthansa station will not be so easy as it appears, for the Tibetan capital is separated from it by a range of blizzard-swept, snow-covered mountains in which the lowest pass is 16,000 feet.
Enders' first task on reaching Tibet, he said, would be to survey all the possible airplane landing sites. He must also prepare maps of various regions which are still practically unknown. The existing maps of Tibet are at best only approximations of the actual conditions.
Enders' choice is American flying equipment for the gold collection work. He has two low-wing cabin monoplanes for the first year's operations. Each ship can carry a 1,500-pound payload at a 25,000-foot ceiling. With special fuel tanks, it can remain in the air for 16 to 20 hours at a time.
One ship is intended solely for carrying fuel between Tibet and the railheads in either China or India. The British Indian railhead is 200 miles from Tashilhunpo, the religious capital of Tibet. On the Chinese side, the nearest railhead is Taiyuanfu, 600 miles from the Tibetan border and 1,200 miles from the political capital at Kokonor.
Practically all the required gasoline supplies in the land of the lama are brought in by the most laborious methods. Gas cans are transported either on the backs of coolies or the backs of beasts. The cost is proportionately high, so high in fact, that for the present only the Panchen Lama and a few high government officials can afford to buy the fuel.
While one of Enders' planes is transporting gas from the nearest outside supply depots, the other plane, commanded by Enders himself, is flying from monastery to monastery and picking up bags of gold for export to the outside world.
The roadless condition of the Forbidden Land makes it almost impossible to employ any other safe form of transport. The airplane finds its own road in the sky. ' Another good reason for employing the airplane is that it can successfully evade roving bands of robbers.
"One of the odd beliefs in Tibet is that gold is a plant," said Enders, "and the natives often bury nuggets in the ground, just as any farmer buries a seed." Within the country itself, gold has little real value. The Panchen Lama has declared that it is "worth nothing, for you cannot eat it. It is only good for what it can buy." Hence his decision to export quantities of gold to the outside world, where it is highly esteemed.
The Tibetan monasteries are financial institutions and commercial markets, in addition to temples of worship. They lend money to the people at the rate of 2 per cent per month. In this way the wealth of the government has increased over a long period of years, and today the Panchen Lama finds * himself in a position to do business with his white neighbors.
Gold is not the only real wealth in Tibet. The monasteries have salvaged considerable collections of semi-precious stones such as lapis lazuli, sapphires, garnets, aqua-marines, topazes and moonstones.
One of the Panchen Lama's earliest importations will be American road-building machinery. He plans to construct and to patrol modern highways that will bear commercial traffic between his country and the commercial centers of neighboring lands. He will work through an American syndicate, which will be empowered to do all the buying and selling for the Government.
After years of acquaintance with American methods and machinery in China, the Panchen Lama holds them in the highest esteem, and for that reason he has decided to modernize with American equipment exclusively. But he does not plan to open the country generally to foreigners. Tibet will remain for the Tibetans.
There are other natural resources which might be exploited. There is a possibility of finding oil. Modern machinery will certainly increase the production of semi-precious gems and gold. All mining is now done by hand. There is a great future for air transport in the Forbidden Land.
So far as invention is concerned, Tibet is one place that the machine age forgot. No nation in the world is so little touched by modern appliances and methods. Enders, after four years of travel in the country, recalls seeing only one machine, and that was a water wheel used to turn a prayer wheel during religious services.

Sichar Mennonite Church (Cordell, Oklahoma, USA)
Sichar Mennonite Church (General Conference Mennonite Church) now extinct, located at Cordell, Oklahoma, was organized on 14 April 1896, with the help of Elder Jacob Toews of Newton, Kansas, by a group of Mennonite settlers who withdrew from the Bergthal Mennonite Church. The first minister was Peter Pankratz. In 1896 Michael Klaassen was ordained minister. The first services were held in a schoolhouse. In 1897 a church located on the Jacob Janzen farm was dedicated. In 1899 the congregation divided, the part called the Herold Mennonite Church obtaining possession of the church building. The other group, under the name Sichar Mennonite Church, in 1900 erected a new church building 2 ½ miles south of the Herold church. Gradually members began to affiliate with the nearby Herold Mennonite Church. During November 1947 the church agreed to dissolve.

How many times have you had to come to a screeching halt on I-75 or other highway and crawl in stop-and-go traffic for miles, only to finally see an accident -- in the lanes going the other direction?
Carl Cannova has seen it, but he didn't just grumble and drive on.
He created a product and a company to produce and sell that product to combat what he says is one of the most common causes of accidents: rubbernecking.
Cannova, the retired former president of West Coast Florida Sysco Food Services, and his wife, Tommie, spent the past two years developing a product that provides privacy, security and safety after an accident, crime or other emergency.
Cannova's company, Stop Rubbernecking CC LLC, created a system of portable screens and tripods that one person can set up in less than five minutes to shield crime and accident scenes for officers as well as victims and their family members.
The Cannovas worked with Sarasota design firm RoBrady to develop a prototype and then perfected it with local law enforcement officials. Eleven Florida law enforcement agencies are using the SRN 1000, and the company said it is launching the product nationally and internationally this year.
In a news release, the Cannovas quoted Manatee County Sheriff Brad Steube: "This is a superior product to protect crime scenes. The system is durable, easy to travel with and set up and it is a crucial tool to provide privacy for victims and officers at several types of traumatic events."
Coroners and first responders have bought the screens to protect identities of victims, the company said. The screens not only protect crime scenes and evidence from contamination but make it more difficult for photographs to be taken and posted on the Internet.
But one of the most important aspects of the system is its use at accident scenes to combat rubbernecking.
"Many officers I've spoken with are grateful to have this system, which replaces their current methods of holding up finicky aluminum poles and tarps, which require people to stand guard," Cannova said.
"That's a waste of manpower, which could be used helping the accident victims and cleanup."
The family-owned-and-operated company is based in Manatee County. Carl Cannova's son, Phillip, is the vice president of the South East Region and Tommie Cannova is its CEO.
"I asked him to just relax and play golf, and he did for about two years," Tommie Cannova said in the company statement. "After that finally got old, he decided to start designing the SRN 1000. Now, though, I could not be more proud of what our company has been able to do to help victims and their families and prevent rubbernecking." �Staff report
A new shelter for victims and officers

Apple has issued a press release this morning announcing that both HBO Go and WatchESPN are now available on Apple TVs. This is welcome news to customers who have cable or satellite subscriptions and can use the applications; for everyone else, the news means very little.
"HBO GO and WatchESPN are some of the most popular iOS apps and are sure to be huge hits on Apple TV," the press release quotes Apple VP Eddy Cue as saying.
The Apple TV applications will function in the same way as their iOS counterparts already do. For HBO Go, existing HBO customers can enter their subscriber information and watch HBO content (like Game of Thrones or True Blood); those without cable or satellite can continue to not watch HBO content, despite the blindingly obvious opportunity HBO has to take additional revenue out of the growing technologically savvy "cord cutter" demographic.
The WatchESPN app is a bit more liberal, but not much. The press release indicates non-subscribers will be able to view "curated on-demand video," which will include highlight reels and some "short-form segments" from ESPN programs like Outside The Lines and SC Featured. Access to actual sports, though—the thing most ESPN watchers are interested in watching—is limited to "those who receive ESPN's networks as part of their video subscription from affiliated providers."

The question of whether women can serve in Army roles previously restricted to men is being answered on Fort Bragg, where the male-only world of artillery has opened to female soldiers.
Last summer, the 18th Fires Brigade began a pilot program aimed at introducing female officers to what were once all-male units.
The program began even before then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced the repeal of rules against women serving in male-only positions.
Nearly a year later, the brigade is preparing to break ground again when it receives the first female-enlisted soldiers in an artillery unit in May.
Five women officers now serve in the 18th Fires Brigade.
One, 1st Lt. Shannon Syphus, said she fell in love with artillery while at officer candidate school more than three years ago. At the time, Syphus said, she did not know she was barred from commanding a cannon platoon.
But that changed with the 18th Fires Brigade. Syphus took leadership of 1st Platoon, C Battery, 3rd Battalion, 321st Airborne Field Artillery Regiment, in November.
"I didn't know prior that it wasn't open," Syphus said. "But I just fell in love. I can get on the radio and call for fire and something explodes. I love the technical aspects -- the math and the precision. You can't find that with any other job in the Army."
Since joining the unit, Syphus said, she has been treated with nothing but respect.
Artillerymen have to be strong enough to lift a 100-pound, 155 mm round.
They also have to know physics, math and meteorology to make the calculations necessary to put a round on target from miles away.
Sgt. Justin Clawson, a gun chief in Syphus' platoon, was convinced she would not be able to cut it.
"This is an all-male world," Clawson said. "I really felt a female couldn't do what we do. But she changed the entire battery's mind.
"I know she can lead us."
Capt. Rusty Varnado, a brigade spokesman, said Syphus and the other female officers are treated no different than their male counterparts.
"She is in the same position I was when I was a lieutenant," he said. "The soldiers just see a lieutenant, and the women do just as well, if not better, than the guys."
Lt. Col. Joe Bookard, commander of the 3rd Battalion, 321st Airborne Field Artillery Regiment, said Syphus is a role model to female soldiers.
"We expect her to know her job," Bookard said. "It's a tough certification process. She performs very, very well."
Bookard said there was little concern that problems would arise from having a woman take command of 40 male soldiers used to living in the male-only artillery world.
"In my business, we don't work off gut feelings. We work off facts," he said.
The brigade commander, Col. Robert Morschauser, agreed.
"There were some integration issues people said we may have, but we've had no issues whatsoever," he said. "They've done very well."
Morschauser, who saw women pulling more than their own weight when called to do so in combat situations in Iraq, said he wants the best soldiers, no matter their gender.
"I'm looking for the best unit," he said. "I don't care what you look like."
Syphus is fit, articulate and smart, officials said.
She's also no stranger to being surrounded by males.
One of eight children, the native of Pasadena, Calif., has seven brothers.
She was one of only three women to graduate in her 150-person class at the field artillery basic officer leadership course.
"Being around the guys is no big deal," she said. "As long as we don't pay attention to the fact that we're different, the guys don't care."
Syphus credited her command for helping her realize one of her career goals, and she looks forward to having other female soldiers realize they can do anything they want.
"I see the artillery world opening up," she said. "Not only artillery, but the Army world."

You may be wondering what is a medical assistant, exactly, and what role do these professionals play in the health care industry? Check out answers to some commonly-asked questions below, so you can find out if a medical assistant career is the perfect fit for you!
What do medical assistants do?
Medical assistants are healthcare professionals who perform administrative and/or clinical tasks that keep medical and health practices running smoothly. They typically work in physicians' offices or other healthcare facilities, where they perform support tasks like answering phones, scheduling appointments, taking patients' vital signs, and much more. Medical assistant duties vary depending on your employer, so the exact definition of a medical assistant could depend on where you work. A large practice could have both administrative and clinical medical assistants that perform different sets of duties, while a smaller practice may have fewer medical assistants who handle both office work and patient care tasks.
What is a medical assistant?
Again, medical assistant duties depend on the needs of your employer but typically play an important role in patient care and education. They often explain procedures to patients or instruct them on proper diet and medications. Administrative medical assistant duties may include coding patients' medical information and billing insurance companies for medical services, among other tasks.
Clinical medical assistants may draw blood, prepare patients for x-rays, change wound dressings, and perform other healthcare services, depending on state regulations. Managing a variety of diverse responsibilities, following best practices for safety and hygiene, practicing good communication skills, and exhibiting a caring manner are just a few typical expectations for medical assistants.
How do I become a medical assistant?
Most medical assistants have some postsecondary education in this field, such as a medical assisting degree, diploma, or certificate. Programs for medical assistants are usually available at vocational schools, community colleges, and even online. A certificate or diploma program may take about one year to complete, while earning an associate's degree could take around two years for a full-time student. Typical programs cover areas like medical terminology, human anatomy, and other essential knowledge areas for a medical assisting career. Programs also generally include both classroom and laboratory work.
While postsecondary education is not required by law, employers may prefer candidates with formal training. Certification for medical assistants is also optional, but again, this credential may be preferred or required by employers. To earn certification, you may need to graduate from an approved medical assisting program, pass an exam, or do both, depending on the organization that is awarding your certification.

Believe it or not Purim is March 20 this year- the clock is ticking!!!
Please send in your inspirations and ideas to share with other Jewish Hostesses!
These pretzels by Shirley are a gorgeous add-in for Mishloach Manot. Just place them in food cello bags from HERE or HERE and tie them with fringe cord ribbons from HERE. Of course as a second item to include in a gift basket you can simply add a bottle of grape juice or if you want to shmancy it up use a nice bottle of wine.
Shirley actually made these pretzels for an engagement party and when I saw how everyone was grabbing them to take home as a goodie for their kids -(ahem) I knew that I had to get the recipe for my Jewish Hostess readers.
I found these personalized ribbons from HERE to decorate Purim baskets. Just order the ribbons with "Happy Purim! Love the Cohens…" written on them. It takes 2 weeks to order, so do it soon!

Happy Purim!

"Hi its Shirley from Homebaked…I'd like to share with you one of my most well received recipes, which also happens to be one of the easiest to prepare. People (old and young alike) just go crazy for the salty/crunchy/chocolaty goodness of a chocolate covered pretzel. These little treats are the perfect way to end a meal, and the flavor combinations and toppings for the pretzels are quite limitless. Here I have posted a few of my personal favorite ideas for decorating, however, feel free to get creative…you certainly can'tt go wrong.
What You'll Need:
- Pretzel Rods (If the rods are big, I like to cut them in half with an knife to make a smaller pretzel. )
- Semisweet, Milk, or white Chocolate for dipping and drizzling
- Sprinkles such as chopped oreos, chopped nuts, mini m&ms, toffee bits, nonpareils, peanut butter chips…
To Assemble:
- Line a cookie sheet with wax paper.
- Melt the chocolate that you will be using to dip the pretzels in the microwave, in 10-second intervals (as to not burn the chocolate).
- Transfer the melted chocolate into a deep bowl or cup, and proceed to dip the pretzels into the chocolate, leaving just the tip of the pretzel bare. Shake of any excess chocolate back into the bowl. (If the chocolate seems to be too thick for dipping, simply use a knife to spread it evenly around the pretzel. Don't worry about imperfections- they'll be covered up by the sprinkles.)
- Immediately roll or sprinkle the pretzel with the desired topping while the chocolate is still melted, and place onto the cookie sheet.
- When all of the pretzels have been dipped and decorated, melt some chocolate (of a different shade) in the microwave.
- Transfer the melted chocolate into a sturdy ziplock bag and squeeze down until all the chocolate is in one corner of the bag.
- With sharp scissors, snip a tiny hole into the corner of the bag, begin to drizzle the chocolate-covered, decorated pretzels that are on the cookie sheet.
- Freeze the pretzels for up to a month in an airtight container.
- Enjoy!!

Napoli defender Hugo Campagnaro is hoping to agree a new deal with the club despite rumoured interest from Juventus and Inter.
The Argentina international is out of contract at the end of the season and has been in discussions with the club regarding an extension to his deal, though agent Alejandro Mazzoni has publicly stated that no agreement has yet been reached.
Inter have made it clear that they are interested in bringing the 32-year-old to San Siro, though Juventus' reported interest is less clear as the Vecchia Signora do not want to comment on other clubs' players after problems with previous deals such as that for Paul Pogba from Manchester United.
With the January transfer window opening in under three weeks, the former Sampdoria man could be available at a low price, but any interested parties are likely to wait until a decision has been made regarding his future before weighing up their options.

Basics: What Display Features Can I Choose?
There are several features you can choose to enhance your ad. Virtually all of these features increase the readership of ads. However, because the content of your ad has a lot to do with reader interest, no results can be guaranteed.
The price of the feature often varies by category, so rates cannot reasonably be shown here. When you post the ad you will see the current features/rates available for that category.
Feature Ads
Feature ads appear at the all important "top of page" position when a reader browses a particular subject. They can be read 10 times as often as non-feature ads, although your readership may vary. Certainly they are displayed to the reader more often since they occupy the top portion of the page. Your ad will also appear in the normal ad listings.
Icon Ads
An "icon" can be chosen to preceed the "label buyline" combination on the ad. Some examples follow. The icon serves to attract attention to the ad, and get readers to read it (as opposed to non-icon ads). Note that the leading icon is displayed in the ad listings, and not in the Feature Ad section.
Hilite Ads
A background color can be chosen to highlight your ad. The color background appears in the ad listings to make the ad stand out from others, but not in any Feature Ad display.
All Region Ads
Readers can browse ads by Subject and by Region. Regions include area code, state, and country views. A normal ad appears in one (or two) region pages, under it's topic (i.e. Automotive). An All Region ad appears on all of the regional pages, toward the top of the topic page.
Site Link Ads
When a reader clicks on a normal ad, they go to the ad's More Info page. When a reader clicks on an ad with the Site Link feature, they instead go right to the page (URL) you specify. This can be any page on the Web, such as your home page, or a sales page.

Goat Skewers with a Vinegary Herb Sauce Recipe
Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, authors of Goat: Meat, Milk, Cheese, are quick to tell you that most people's aversion to goat meat stems from curry, more specifically the very goaty sort that's popular in Jamaican takeout joints. But this specific flavor comes from goats that are over the hill, older goats that are raises to take on that gamey, barnyardy flavor. If you're looking for a milder flavor it's best to find young goats that have been raised for meat; ones that are bred for dairy or even wool are notoriously chewy and aren't the best for cooking.
These Goat Skewers with a Vinegary Herb Sauce are best made from leg meat, which according to Weinstein and Scarbrough has a sweeter, more subtle flavor and can be cooked relatively quickly. Prepared kabob style and grilled, these skewers are marinated in a vinegar-based sauce full of bright green herbs, cardamom, and paprika. They showcase the best of what goat can be—bright and fresh tasting with a unique savoriness that you can only get from really great goat.

- Yield:4
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:4 hours
- 1/4 cup (55 g) minced fresh chives or the green bits of a scallion
- 1/4 cup (55 g) stemmed, packed fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup (55 g) stemmed, packed fresh parsley leaves
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup (165 ml) olive oil
- 1 1/2 pounds (680 g) goat meat chunks from the leg, cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) cubes
- 1 teaspoon mild paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 4 metal kebab skewers
Whir the chives, cilantro, parsley, vinegar, pepper, and salt in a food processor fitted with the chopping blade. While the machine is running, pour the olive oil through the open feed tube in a slow dribble to make a light sauce.
No food processor? Mince the chives, cilantro, and parsley on a cutting board, then mash them with the other ingredients in a mortar with a pestle until pasty. Drip in the oil, grinding the mixture into a sauce as the oil is added in dribs and drabs. It won't be as smooth as that from a food processor, but it'll do in a pinch.
No food processor, no mortar, no pestle? (Are you sure you wanted to buy a goat cookbook?) You can make this sauce by rocking a knife through the herbs on a cutting board until they're minced, almost puréed, then adding coarse-grained salt and wiping the side of the knife's blade across the mess, using the grainy salt to further mash the herbs into a pulp. Scrape all this into a bowl, stir in the vinegar and pepper; then whisk in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream.
Place half of this herb sauce in a large bowl (reserve the remainder in a separate bowl in the fridge for a garnish). Add the meat cubes, paprika, and cardamom. Stir well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 12 hours.
Thread the meat cubes onto the skewers and set them aside at room temperature while you prepare the grill, either heating a gas grill to high heat (about 550°F [288°C]) or building a high-heat coal bed in a charcoal grill. If you don't want to use the grill outside, heat a large, heavy grill pan over medium-high heat until smoking. As the grill is heating up, take the reserved sauce out of the fridge so it comes back to room temperature. You can even nuke it for a few seconds to take the chill off (but don;t get ut too hot or the taste will become too pronounced, almost bitter.)
Set the skewers directly over the heat (or in the grill pan). Grill for 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into a cube without touching the skewer registers 160°F (71°C). Serve the skewers with the reserved sauce on the side.

Freddie Mercury snuck Princess Diana into a gay bar?
According to a new book, the late Freddie Mercury snuck a disguised Princess Diana into a notorious gay bar in the late 1980s.
In "The Power of Positive Drinking," comedian Cleo Rocos wrote that she, TV star Kenny Everett and the Queen singer disguised Princess Diana as a male model so that she could sneak into the Royal Vauxhall Tavern in south London. Dressed in an army jacket, black cap and sunglasses, no one apparently realized it was her.
"When we walked in ... we felt she was obviously Princess Diana and would be discovered at any minute. But people just seemed to blank her. She sort of disappeared. But she loved it," Rocos says. She said the place was packed, but she, Mercury and Everett helped divert attention from Diana so that she could order drinks at the bar. The group left after about 20 minutes.
"She did look like a beautiful young man," Rocos said. "She was always a very fit girl, so they might have thought, 'There's a nice young man with pert buttocks.'"
Of course, the royals are known for having pert buttocks.

Last week, we introduced Adobe Reader Protected Mode (aka sandboxing). This security mitigation feature in the next major version of Adobe Reader is just the most recent public example of the proactive engineering steps we are taking to help protect our customers. Despite our excitement about sandboxing, we remain realistic that offensive techniques are always marching forward. A key priority for us is the ability to work with the broader security community to effectively respond to and mitigate new threats.
Today, I'm happy to announce a significant initiative in collaboration with Microsoft: Starting this fall, we will begin sharing vulnerability information for all Adobe products through the Microsoft Active Protections Program. Launched in October 2008 by the Microsoft Security Response Center, MAPP represents a global collaborative effort to facilitate advanced information sharing of Microsoft (and now Adobe) product vulnerabilities with security software providers, such as antivirus or intrusion detection and prevention vendors. By receiving vulnerability information prior to the public release of a security update, MAPP partners get an early start over exploit code writers, enabling them to offer protection to customers in a timely manner.
MAPP is a great example of a tried and proven model giving an upper hand to a network of global defenders who all rally behind a shared purpose—protecting our mutual customers.
We look forward to working with Microsoft and the 65 global MAPP partners. We are confident that by working together to defend customers and partners against those with malicious intent, we can make a positive impact on the security ecosystem.

Martina Hingis now '200 percent' sure she won't make singles comeback
NEW HAVEN >> Perhaps this is, as some in tennis circles believe, a thinly veiled attempt to limber up and shake the rust before a full-fledged return to the WTA as a singles player.
Martina Hingis, at 32, was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame last month, but is only one year older than Serena Williams.
She appears to be in phenomenal condition, perhaps the best shape of her life, despite a six-year absence from the tour.
And, really, what capable athlete with a competitive fire is content solely playing freelance doubles? Especially one who spent five years as the world's best singles players, retired (for the first time) at 22 due to injuries and has seemed to be itching to get back ever since.
Even Lindsay Davenport, her friend and occasional doubles partner, said Hingis' return this summer "is just a way to get her feet wet for the singles."
On the surface, it might make perfect sense.
But if Hingis ever entertains visions of a grand comeback, one where she raises a Grand Slam singles championship trophy for the first time since 1999, nights like Tuesday serve as a reminder that maybe retirement isn't such a bad thing after all.
Hingis and partner Daniela Hantuchova took to Stadium Court at the Connecticut Tennis Center at the New Haven Open, their fourth stop since Hingis committed to five doubles events earlier this summer.
They'd won opening matches at Carlsbad, Toronto and Cincinnati before losing in the next round. After a promising start against Cara Black and Vania King, things quickly spiraled out of control in a lackluster 6-3, 6-1 loss.
All summer long, Hingis has been adamant that she isn't interested in a return to singles and all else was hearsay. Top-level tennis means endless training sessions and dedication. She tends to enjoy the life of a retired tennis icon; sprawling homes, swimming pools, horse stables. That sentiment was reinforced after Tuesday's loss.
"I've always said I don't want to play singles anymore, for sure. After tonight, it's like 200 percent no way," Hingis said. "Because you have to be so hungry. Sometimes I feel like my life has been so great. I'm fortunate to have had this life and be on the tour for so long, but you have to be so hungry and really want it. Sometimes my life is right now my problem. When I have those matches when you get down and don't play well, (I think) my life is so comfortable at home, you have the comfort zone, why would you want to suffer and put yourself in that pain?"
Hingis understands. She's already tried to come back once. Seven years ago, she cracked the world's top 10. There was a mixed-doubles championship at the Australian Open, her 15th Grand Slam title; singles championships in India and Tokyo.
But a failed drug test in November 2007 ended her comeback. Trace amounts of cocaine were found in her system, so small, according to the International Tennis Federation, that it wouldn't have triggered a positive result had the test been administered by the U.S. military. Hingis denied ever using cocaine. Still, it meant a two-year suspension.
The latest comeback came on the heels of a foray into training young players in Paris. She served as tour coach for Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, working out with the Russian player. Hantuchova, who played with Hingis in 2007, helped convince her to get back on the horse.
"She's just the same; even better," Hantuchova said. "The way she plays the game is just ridiculous. I've said it many times, if you have it inside you, you're gonna have it forever."
Since her early days as a rising star on the tour, Hingis always enjoyed partners tennis. She was quite prolific, in fact, once winning six successive doubles Grand Slams starting with the 1997 Australian Open. She felt confident, but remained realistic after a few good matches earlier in the summer.
"It's different being out there week after week, playing and training yourself," Hingis said. "This week was pretty tough. I was home, and I was like ah, this is so nice to be in the pool and the Jacuzzi."
Next week, Hingis and Hantuchova head to the bright lights of New York and the U.S. Open, where Hingis will surely receive plenty of attention from fans and media, even if she's not playing prime time on center court like in New Haven.
Inquiries about her future will again be raised. Women's tennis could use a little infusion of energy. The real question is whether Hingis has enough of it left to give it another go.
Another performance like Tuesday, and the answer might be crystal clear.

At first glance, Edward Kenway—the protagonist of the upcoming Assassin's Creed IV game—looks like your typical leading dude. Stoic, beefy, masculine. Nothing special, right?
Those with more astute observation skills over at Reddit, like zinadello13, noticed that Kenway bears a striking resemblance to Capt. Edward Reynolds from Pirates. As in, the (in)famous porn from 2005 which features references to the more family-friendly Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Pirates is also the most expensive porn film ever made.
Here is Edward Reynolds, who is played by actor Evan Stone:
Kenway and Stone could practically be related!
Stone has also been featured in classics like "Space Nuts," " Batman XXX: A Porn Parody," "A Mother's Love," and naturally, "Pirates II."
The resemblance is one thing, and sure, that's kind of funny. But the fact that Stone has also played a pirate, and in a porn film no less, makes it hilarious. Also, it's kind of weird that both Stone's character and the new AC protagonist are named "Edward."
Under closer inspection, there is something kind of skeevy about Kenway's appearance, no?
So...is the lead character from Assassin's Creed 4 based on the lead character from Pirates, the best selling porno of all time? [zinadello13]

SRD:Robe of Bones
From D&D Wiki
|This material is published under the OGL
Robe of Bones: This handy item functions much like a robe of useful items for the serious necromancer. It appears to be an unremarkable robe, but a character who dons it notes that it is adorned with small embroidered figures representing undead creatures. Only the wearer of the robe can see the embroidery and recognize them for the creatures they become, and detach them. One figure can be detached each round. Detaching a figure causes it to become an actual undead creature (see the list below). The skeleton or zombie is not under the control of the wearer of the robe, but may be subsequently commanded, rebuked, turned, or destroyed. A newly created robe of bones always has two embroidered figures of each of the following undead:
- Small goblin skeleton
- Medium human commoner skeleton
- Medium wolf skeleton
- Small goblin zombie
- Medium human commoner zombie
- Medium wolf zombie
Moderate necromancy [evil]; CL 6th; Craft Wondrous Item, animate dead; Price 2,400 gp; Weight 1 lb.

BENGALURU: Accenture Plc said on Friday it would create 15,000 "highly skilled" new jobs in the United States, as IT services firms brace for a more protectionist U.S. technology visa program under President Donald Trump.
The company, which is domiciled in Dublin, Ireland, said the new jobs would increase the company's U.S. workforce by 30 percent to more than 65,000 by the end of 2020.
Accenture has more than 394,000 employees, of which about 140,000 are in India.
IT services companies have come under the spotlight after Trump said that his administration would focus on creating more jobs for U.S. workers, who had been affected by the outsourcing of jobs abroad.
Major IT service companies, particularly those based in India, fly engineers to the United States using H-1B visas to service clients, but some opponents argue they are misusing the visa program to replace U.S. jobs.
India's software services industry is also concerned about a bill introduced in the U.S. Congress seeking to double the salary paid to H-1B visa holders which would dramatically increase the costs for the companies employing them.
Accenture said on Friday it would invest $1.4 billion to train its employees and would open 10 innovation centers in some U.S. cities.
The company's U.S. business accounted for 46 percent of its total revenue for the year ended Aug. 31.

Washington Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos was rescued last night and that is a very good thing. An even better thing? The rescue involved "Venezuelan police commandos" engaged in a "hair-raising" gunfight with his captors in a remote mountainous area.
The New York Times reports that an admittedly still nervous Ramos thanked the "commandos who rescued him, saying, 'The boys did a great job.'" Ramos said that he did not know the men who kidnapped him but he knew they were "Colombians by their accents." Five arrests were made including a Colombian "linked to paramilitary groups and to kidnapping groups."
Ramos is looking forward to getting back to playing, but he's going to take it slow. "'As soon as I feel all right, I'm going to start playing,' Ramos said. 'They didn't physically harm me, but psychologically I underwent very great harm.'" I should say so. Although, being in your very own episode of The A-Team would be pretty cool. Or would it be The AAAA-Team?

Double-Pole Technique
Begin with your hands and feet shoulder-width apart and hands slightly above your head. Your arms should be bent.
Drive the handles downward by engaging your core abdominal muscles and bending your knees. Maintain the bend in your arms to keep the handles fairly close to your face.
Finish the drive with knees slightly bent, and arms extended down alongside your thighs.
Extend your arms upward and straighten your body to return to the start position.
Classic Skiing Technique (Alternating Arms)
Begin with one arm raised and slightly bent. Pull down with the top arm, while gradually raising the lower arm. Continue to alternate arm pulls, keeping some bend in the pulling arm, as it is a stronger position.
Additional Technique Variations
Once you are comfortable with the basic skiing technique, you can add variations such as standing with one foot forward and one foot back, then switching feet. You may also find yourself coming up on your toes at certain parts of the drive, just as you do on your skis.
You can also use the SkiErg without legs to work just the upper body and core. Used this way, the SkiErg provides a high quality workout option for those recovering from leg or foot injuries. This may be done from either a standing position, or seated on a stool.
Grip for SkiErg 1
The handle on the SkiErg 1 (the grey SkiErg manufactured from May 2009–July 2014) features a strap. Use the handle strap and grip as you would use a Nordic ski pole. Slip your hand up through the loop and then come down over the strap and grasp the handle.

Perhaps one of the greatest things about snow is the plethora of winter activities to choose from on a daily basis. As much as we all thrive off of great days skiing or riding, sometimes it's a welcomed change to do something different. Here are some other winter activities to try while enjoying the elements and getting some great exercise.
Take 10 minutes to warm up and stretch before beginning any exercise. Get the muscles loose, the blood pumping, and the rest of your body and mind prepared for physical exertion.

Hiking in the snow is a little bit like walking in the sand. The extra effort put into each step really adds up. Not only does it challenge your calves, but also the rest of your leg muscles and core. For added support try the Yaktrax. Strap on a pair of snowshoes for an additional huff. Most outdoor shops have rental snowshoes available. Hiking or snowshoeing is a great way to spend an afternoon, evening, or full moon during the winter months.

Skinning is like climbing for winter enthusiasts. Although the setup involves expensive equipment, there are less expensive ways to try out Alpine Touring. Rent the skis, boots, and skins at an outdoor store or borrow a friend's equipment. Make sure that the boots are the right size and are comfortable for your foot. Wrong boots are a little bit like wrong hikers that will leave you with nothing but blisters and misery. Also make sure the boots fit into the bindings properly.
Getting all the way up and not being able to come down is not our kind of fun. Before heading out on the trail, go through the process of putting the skins on your skis and taking them off. You want to make sure they are long enough for the skis as well as staying stuck to the bases. Your effort uphill will become a lot harder for a lot less vertical gain without good skins. Skinning is all up hill from there, once you are dialed in. The reward of earning your every turn is an incredible feeling, all the while getting in a great day's exercise.

In Bronx return, Cano keeps negotiations in past
Newly signed Mariners slugger on Yankees: 'We're both happy'
NEW YORK -- Joe Girardi said it best. The subject was Robinson Cano and, specifically, how he'd be received in his first trip back to the Bronx wearing a Mariners road uniform instead of the classic pinstripes. The Yankees' manager smiled ever so slightly.
"Whenever you're a player who was a great player somewhere and you decided to leave and you come back, I've always felt that the people who are cheering for you are showing their respect," Girardi said. "And the people who are booing you are really showing their respect for you -- because they didn't want you to leave."
But Cano left. After playing nine years for the Yanks and winning a World Series and developing into a player widely regarded as the best second baseman in the game, Cano became a free agent. And then he was gone after signing a 10-year, $240 million contract with Seattle. So, of course, this was a date that was circled in red on his mental calendar.
And, yes, Cano was booed. And, yes, that drowned out the cheers. In five at-bats, Cano struck out twice and didn't get a ball out of the infield. But he drove in a run with a groundout, had an infield single, stole second and scored a run. And the Mariners won Tuesday night's series opener at Yankee Stadium, 6-3.
"There's nothing I can do about [the boos]; that's something I can't control," Cano said with a smile after the game. "I'm not surprised. I just have to go out and play my game. That's not a distraction. It was weird the first three or four innings."
Cano admitted that he might have hoped for a friendlier welcome.
"Not only me, but anybody," he said, still smiling. "I knew I was going to get boos and cheers, but you're always going to hear the boos more than the cheers. I really had fun with it. It didn't bother me at all."
Even before the game, Cano hinted that he knew what to expect.
"I understand about fans," Cano said. "I know I'm not here anymore. Now I'm with the Mariners. I know it's not the same thing as playing for the home team. You always want to hear something good, but if not, I understand. I just want to take this time to say thanks for all the good times here."
A light but persistent rain kept the tarp on the field until a half-hour before the first pitch, canceling a chance for greetings around the batting cage and for early arriving fans to express their sentiments, pro or con.
Doing his sprints in shallow left field shortly before the game started, Cano intersected with Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, and they exchanged a brief handshake. A few minutes later, Jeter yelled something that made his former double-play partner smile.
The first real reaction came when the starting lineups were announced. When Cano -- batting third and playing second base -- was announced, the boos drowned out the cheers. The booing was even louder when he came to bat with two outs and nobody on base in the top of the first. Cano reacted with a smile.
"I know I'm not a Yankee anymore," Cano said before the game. "I have to understand the fans. They're not going to cheer for you. They're going to boo you because you're on the opposite team. I understand that. But I've got a lot of love from these fans."
There were also fans who gave Cano a standing ovation and a group that waved a flag from his native Dominican Republic in the left-field stands.
After signing with the Mariners, Cano said he thought the Yanks didn't show him enough respect. He didn't back off Tuesday, but he also refused to be drawn into any sort of controversy. On three occasions, Cano politely but pointedly said he wasn't interested in discussing the past.
"I already talked about that and said what I had to say," Cano said. "Now I'm just looking forward, looking forward to the game. One thing I understand is that this is a business. I can't control the Yankees. I can control myself. They made a decision, and I guess we're both happy -- because I'm happy where I am now. I'm happy to be a Mariner, and good luck to them."
Playing in Seattle is different than playing in New York, Cano conceded, but he also pointed out that the Mariners have had only two homestands, making it difficult to make a fair comparison.
"But I can tell you I'm happy now with the fans, the organization and my teammates," Cano said.
Girardi also avoided stirring the pot when asked if he thought the Yankees had shown Cano respect.
"I think sometimes during negotiations, players can get passionate, heated and want certain things to happen, [but] $175 million is a lot of money for seven years," Girardi said. "And I think we've always respected Robby Cano and his talents, and [we] will continue to respect Robby Cano and his talents. I think you'll see that in how we try to pitch to him. We're not going to put it right down the middle of the plate. As far as not respecting Robby, I think we all respect Robby."
Girardi was asked if, deep in his heart, he though Cano would really leave.
"I knew he would be pretty sought after and that there would be clubs that would [offer] some long-term deals," Girardi said. "I've mentioned that I thought Albert Pujols would always be a Cardinal, and it didn't happen. There are those certain guys you envision are going to play in a certain spot, but most of the time, it doesn't happen. That's part of the game, and we understand it."

Federico Barocci's painting of Il Perdono di Assisi is the first altarpiece to represent this controversial subject, and it does so in a completely unprecedented way. As such the painting is an notable statement of Franciscan and more generally Counter Reform theology. A previously unknown document affirms the date, the devotional content, and the historical context of the commission, which in turn explain the extraordinary papal license subsequently granted to the artist to sell his monumental print of the same subject directly to pilgrims. Most importantly, the study reveals Barocci as an artist of the intellect whose innovative style - ingratiating naturalism and lyrical effects of color and light, often thought of as anecdotal and effusively sentimental - in fact give life to the ideological and social contributions of the new era.
This essay establishes new contexts for the career of the Florentine painter Raffaellino del Garbo (d. c. 1527-1528), through new documentary research. A contract drawn up on in 1502 reveals that Piero Corbinelli commissioned Raffaellino to paint an double-sided tabernacle near his villa at San Felice a Ema (lost). The original contract for Raffaellino's Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes reveals the identity of the individual who commissioned the painting on behalf of the convent, Don Innocenzo Riccialbani. Two unpublished sinopie for the Multiplication cast doubt on the recent attribution to Raffaellino of the St. Bernard with the Crucified Christ (Santa Maria Maddalena dei Pazzi), here identified as the work of Sperandio di Giovanni. Another contract records that in 1516 a friar of Santo Spirito, Fra' Raffaello da Fivizzano, commissioned Raffaellino to paint an Assumption of the Virgin with Sts. Anthony, John the Baptist, James, and Sigismund. This iconography, and clues in the contract itself, suggest that Raffaellino's Assumption was intended for the Augustinian church of San Giovanni Battista, Fivizzano (destroyed, with much of its art, by an earthquake in 1920). The new documentation furnishes new details about Raffaellino's use of varying names at different periods in his life - a practice that long led scholars to believe his works were actually painted by several different artists.
At present, a coherent picture of the development of Bronzino's style and practice in his drawings is lacking. Despite the pioneering work on the connoisseurship of Bronzino drawings by Craig Hugh Smyth, and important contributions on specific drawings by other scholars, contemporary scholarship tends to limit its efforts to connecting drawings to known commissions and recognizing Bronzino's hand only in a certain decisive, smooth, elongated sweep of line, and the creation of solid marmoreal forms. However, many of Bronzino's accepted drawings exhibit other stylistic characteristics, which because they deviate from this formula, tend to be elided in other published accounts. The significance of these stylistic markers has not been fully appreciated in the literature, in part, because they do not easily conform to notions of an artist's "early", "mature", or "late" periods. Instead, throughout his career, Bronzino appears to have drawn in several different manners, or "modes", depending on the type of drawing he was making. In this article it is suggested that the unusual stylistic characteristics of some of Bronzino's drawings may be directly related to the "mode" of the drawing he was preparing. By approaching in this manner the problem of Bronzino's draftsmanship as he moves from study to modello, it can be shown that the place of the drawing in the sequence of his creative process had an impact on the graphic style Bronzino used. A description of the drawing stages through which Bronzino developed his ideas reveals that he worked through an elaborate process. Some new proposals for Bronzino's authorship are included.
The view that Giovanni Bastianini (1830-1868) participated in the deceptions regarding his work sold as Renaissance, was questioned in my recent article in this journal. Based in part on the discovery of a damaging letter regarding Bastianini from Alessandro Foresi to the French dealer Davillier, Jeremy Warren has contended that the sculptor did, indeed, act with knowing fraudulent intent. In addition to questioning the validity of Warren's conclusions, this paper argues that Bastianini's generally uncontested reputation as a forger has created a barrier to assessing those sculptures that move beyond the historicizing, while also impeding the search for the names and styles of other masters working in stile. Scholars and curators who assume the important role of connoisseurs of Renaissance sculpture would do well to cast a less jaundiced eye on their collection of "forgeries" and related sculptures.
The paper considers two sculpture groups by Emmanuel Fremiet (1824—1910), each showing a gorilla abducting a woman. The first of them (1859) was prevented from being shown at the Paris Salon; doubts were raised about its artistic quality, and there were fears of offending public morals. However, thanks to help from Count de Nieuwerkerke, director of the Imperial Museums, it was put on display next to the entrance to the exhibition at the Palais de l'Industrie, amidst an atmosphere of scandal. The second sculpture (1887) met with a wholly different reception: support from the jury of artists, and hostility from the Ministry of Fine Arts. The artists awarded the sculptor a Medal of Honour. The authorities first declined to purchase the work for the national collection, and when they finally agreed, they ruled out casting the plaster in bronze and placing it in the Natural History Museum in Paris, for which it had been created. The paper treats Fremiet's work, and its subject matter, within the broader context of changing views on the nature and behaviour of gorillas, which were a topic of lively discussion in the nineteenth century. The parties to the argument invoked contemporary writings on natural history and travel, in which these primates often appeared in connection with the controversy over Darwin's theory. The paper considers the extent to which Fremiet, usually regarded as a dispassionate and scrupulous illustrator, was in tune with the state of scientific knowledge in the case of the two sculptures, which were created almost thirty years apart. The paper explores the reasons for the state administration's reserve toward the second sculpture, and mentions some instances of the gorilla myth's appearance in popular culture. That the gorilla myth is a powerful and attractive one is manifested in repeated returns to the theme, such as the many remakes of King Kong.
