[57] ABSTRACT A planar grid of relatively lightweight struts dismantleably disposed in predetermined fashion to provide a unitarily portable, relatively rigid framework over which is draped and anchored a sheet of a windimpervious material which incorporates suitably reinforced grommets through which the sheet is anchored. The entire planar windbreaker or screen is disposed against the facade of a steel skeleton with the periphery of the screen in contact with the steel members to which it is anchored; the screen may be moved either vertically, by means of winches from which it is suspended, or horizontally, by relocating the winches, always maintaining the screen outside the skeleton. Under normal weather conditions, it is an effective weather seal, while under storm conditions it is believed to flex sufficiently so as to permit relief venting of the enclosed zone, at the same time preventing the screen from being torn asunder. In operation, the screen provides a seal under normal conditions and an automatic controlled leakage in high winds as a function of wind velocity.

2 Sheets-Sheet 1 Patented Oct. 2, 1973 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 MOVABLE WINDBREAKER FOR STEEL BUILDINGS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION During the construction of high rise buildings, whether of a curtain-wall construction or otherwise, in which the skeleton of the building is a steel frame structure, it is sometimes imperative to isolate particular portions of the building during certain phases of its construction so as to provide a confined airspace. In winter, air confined to the working zone enables a construction crew to maintain a temperature within a range which will not adversely affect the curing of freshly-poured concrete and which, at the same time, will provide a tolerable, if not comfortable, working temperature.
In another application, a confined airspace permits materials to be sprayed within the working zone without unwittingly engulfing the neighborhood with the possibly noxious materials. For example, fireproofing material is commonly sprayed onto steel structural columns to provide a certain minimum fire tolerance. The materialto be'sprayed is easily airborne and maintains tackiness for a considerable period of time. When this material is wafted away and deposited upon other structures or objects, whether they be buildings, automobiles or shrubs, a chemical reaction usually occurs which results in the building being defaced, the finishes on the automobiles being marred, and the shrubs being damaged beyond revivification. The damage wrought by fireproofing materials escaping the working zone has forced large cities to enact an ordinance which makes an effective screen mandatory. v
Still another application pertains to the coating of structures with moisture-curing organic elastomers such as, for example, polyurethanes. The peculiarity of these elastomers is that they require a certain minimum moisture level in the atmosphere, which moisture is critical to effect the chemical reaction which cures the polymer. Thus, where a polymeric coating is spread upon a roof-deck, parking lot, or similar structure during a season where the ambient humidity is less than that necessary to effect the moisture curing of'the polymer, it is incumbent upon the contractor to provide sufficient moisture in the atmosphere to effect the cure. This is done by using misting nozzles in a confined airspace. It stands to reason that the humidity in the atmosphere is much more effectively controlled when the curing zone includes a confined airspace within which the moisture level can be controlled.
U. S. Pat. No. 3,555,754 discloses a portable shelter assembly for protection from bad weather and is made up of structurally strong light-transmitting panels which can be assembled in many different combinations by means of special, quickly detachable fasteners and related supporting means. The fasteners comprise a member having a notched head and an exposed handle. The entire structure is either assembled on a particular floor or lifted to the location within a building where it is to be used. After it is used at that location, it must be disassembled and moved to the next location since it is generally difficult to move the structure from deep within a building to its periphery and then effect its lifting to another level.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It has been discovered that a uniplanar Windbreaker DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of plural, planar screens enclosing two floors of the skeleton of a steel building.
FIG. 2 is a detail of the anchoring of the sheet material with grommets over a unit planar grid.
FIG. 3 is a detail showing the lashing'of the planar screen to a vertical steel structural column.
FIG. 4 shows a plan view detail of the screennext to a horizontal structural steel beam and steel angle bulkhead.
FIG. 5 is a side elevation of a grid frame of tubingwithout the wind-impervious sheet anchored to it.
FIG. 6 is a detail of an anchoring means for tubing.
PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Innumerable structures have been used as windbreakers to enable workers to perform their duties in relative comfort. A common shelter is one constructed within a steel building skeleton'from struts of wood which have been temporarily nailed to horizontal timbers, which in turn are lashed to the structural steel framework. The struts of wood are then dressed with canvas. This archaic structure and variations of it have been used wherever a modicum of weatherproofing was required. It is still used in winter for pouring concrete in high rise structures. It is still used despite the fact that the fabrication of such a wood framestructure to provide necessary weather protection and its subsequent dismantling requires high-priced manual labor and the cost of this form of weather protection has become prohibitive.
Closures of easily dismantleable members have been generally directed to simplifying and speeding up the fabrication of the same basic structure as has been used for ages, namely, a rigid integral enclosure built and used within the steel skeleton of a structure to isolate a particular portion at a single level. The rigid closures isolate relatively small portions of a building and after they have served their purpose, they are dismantled and moved to another location or level. They are not adapted to be moved as a unitary structure and particularly from one floor to another. The express advantages purported to redound to such rigid structures are (I) that erection and dismantling may be done by unskilled labor rather than highly skilled carpenters, thus lowering costs, and (2) that use of quick opening and closing fasteners in combination with metal structural members permits repetitiously using a structure and avoids the continual purchase of raw lumber or, alternatively, the necessity to recondition lumber for reuse.
Not usually stressed is the time factor which is of critical importance. For example, where a fireproofer progressively fireproofs structural members on each floor of a high rise building, the time required to erect and dismantle a prior art rigid structure far surpasses that required to spraycoat the structural steel. Similarly, the time required to moisture-cure a polyurethane coating on an entire floor of a high rise parking garage is often substantially less than that required to erect and fabricate a rigid closure within the structural framework. About the only application where the time factor is roughly comparable is where a confined working zone is required for pouring concrete.
The costs associated with the use of prior art structures is still enormous. Particularly where large areas have to be enclosed, as for example an entire level of a high rise building which is to be spray-coated with fireproofing material, portable, rigid, threedimensioned assemblies are impractical. Most importantly, such assemblies provide no venting and in highwind conditions are usually scattered in fragments over the surrounding urban landscape.
Since most high rise buildings have relatively large planar surfaces, it is desirable to screen in an entire floor or more prior to working within the zone, whether it be for fireproofing or for pouring concrete.
The instant planar Windbreaker provides an enclosure for at least one, and preferably a plurality of floors or levels on a high rise structure without being so heavy as to make hoisting of the screen from one level to another a major undertaking. The instant planar structure may be lashed to the face of the building to protect one or two or more floors, while it is suspended from above by a plurality of winches. The screen is raised into position either manually or by electric power winches. Similar screens are positioned in abutting relationship on each side of the building until the entire level or levels are enclosed. Spray coating of the structural members, pouring, and curing of concrete or polymeric resin within the floors enclosed then proceeds, and, after the work is completed, the screens are moved up to the succeeding floor or floors, lashed in place and the operation repeated.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows a six-story, steel structure, shown generally at 10, which is sheathed over two floors with a plurality of the instant planar screens 11 in abutting relationship one with another so as to form the confined airspace. It will be recognized that the decks l2, demarcating the floors, will provide the bottom and the top of the confined space formed by the screens. The decks may be reinforced metal prepared for pouring concrete, preformed concrete floors, or the poured and finished concrete floor. Though the screens 11 may be formed in such a size as to enclose the space between two successive decks 12, at one time, for convenience, the screens 11 are generally formed so as to enclose two successive floors; in other words, the screens are high enough so that the decks on either side of an intermediate deck form the top and bottom surfaces of the confined airspace. The width of a unit planar screen is at least the width of the spacing of spaced apart vertical structural members of the skeleton. In high rise buildings, the vertical members are usually on 10 ft. centers. Thus, the width of a screen is at least 10 ft., and preferably 20 ft. Thus, abutting screens are in contact along a line which substantially coincides with the centerline of the vertical structural member to which the abutting screens are secured, and the vertical member performs a scaling function along the line of abutment of the screens. In
this manner, it is not critical that the abutting screens be in sealing abutment with each other.
Winches 13 are demountably affixed to positions directly above the screens 11 to permit the screens to be moved vertically into any desired position. Winches for the remaining screens, which sheath the structural steel framework, are not shown. It will be recognized that it is not essential to use screens in such a manner as to entirely confine an airspace. For example, where fireproofing material is to be sprayed under relatively windless conditions in a particular section of the structural steel framework, it may be necessary to enclose only a portion of the framework, the area f the screening being chosen so as to prevent the spray coating material from escaping. It will be recognized that where a sufficient number of planar screens are available, the efficiency of the operation is greatly enhanced when an entire floor, or preferably two, is enclosed and the spraying work carried out with a minimum of risk.
FIG. 2 shows a unit planar screen, shown generally as l 1, consisting of a unit grid of elongate struts l4 conveniently formed in a size 20 ft. wide and- 25 ft. high, which in turn consists of a plurality of rectangles, preferably S-ft. squares, each of which is secured at an intersection point.
The elongate struts may be solid metallic rods of a relatively lightweight metal, such as titanium, aluminum, and the like, which rods may have a circular or a polygonal cross section; or said struts may be channel, I-beams, or other extruded cross sections of steel, aluminim, or the like, or may be tubes of any of the foregoing metals. The grid may also be formed from elongate struts of a reinforced synthetic resinous materials, such as fiber -glass-reinforced polyesters, commonly termed structural plastics." An especially suitable and inexpensive strut is provided by bamboo, which is readily available in lengths of 20 and 25 ft. Bamboo has the advantage of being exceptionally strong on a weight-to-length basis, and can be fixedly attached at overlapping points by simple lashing with rope to form the unit grid which has excellent rigidity, yet has greater flexibility than metal struts with comparable strength. The structural advantages of a bamboo grid, coupled with the fact that it requires no painting or other maintenance for corrosion-resistance and its negligible initial cost, make it a particularly desirable choice.
The material from which said struts are formed is not critical, except that the struts, when formed into the unit screen as described, exhibit as a unit sufficient rigidity to provide an essentially confined airspace under normal operating conditions, 'i.e., at wind velocities below 50 miles per hour; at the same time, the unit planar screen must under abnormal, high-wind conditions above 50 miles per hour, permit spillage of wind around the edges of the grids in abutting relationship to other grids, or in overlapping relationship to those portions of the structural steel framework coextensive with the sides of a unit planar screen. Where the cross sec tion of the struts is circular or polygonal, the anchoring at intersection points is conveniently done by a cross fitting 15, a T-fitting 16, or an L-fitting 17. Cross fittings 15 and T-fittings 16 may be offset to accommodate overlapping elongate struts, which are anchored in position by screws or other locking means. The fittings may be cast unitary fittings or stamped metal multipart fittings, as shown in FIG. 6. Where the cross section of the strut is rectangular, channel-shaped, or an l-beam, anchoring of the struts at overlapping points may be done with bolts without the use of cross, T- or L- fittings. Where the struts are formed of reinforced fiber glass synthetic resinous material, overlapping struts may be simply glued together. The manner in which overlapping struts are affixed to one another is immaterial, provided they are fixedly secured to provide a rigid framework under normal operating conditions over which the wind-impervious sheet material 18 is secured. The sheet 18 may be secured either interiorly or exteriorly of the unit grid. It is preferred to position it exteriorly, since it presents a smooth surface on which snow and ice will not collect, and presents the exposed struts to the vertical structural members of the framework for easy securing thereto. It will be recognized that where a unit grid is to be dismantleable into its component parts, cross fittings, T-fittings, and L- fittings will be provided with locking means; alternatively, overlapping struts may be bolted together, regardless of their cross section. However, where a multiplicity of grids will be used by a contractor on one job after another, it may be desired to form unit grids by welding overlapping portions of the metallic struts into place, or by gluing structural plastic struts permanently into position. Welding metallic struts into unit grids has the advantage of permitting the use of lighter metallic struts (which weigh less per unit foot) and thus permit the formation of unit grids relatively lighter than grids designed to be dismantled after use. Hereinafter, a grid formed of a plurality of struts, whether fixedly or dismantleably attached, will be referred to as a unit grid.
Over each unit grid is disposed a wind-impervious sheet 18 of a synthetic resinous material or a sheet of fibrous material, such as canvas, which is impregnated with a thermoplastic synthetic resinous material, such as a polyolefin. The sheet 18 is provided with a multiplicity of spaced grommets 19 disposed in such a manner as to provide locations forfixedly positioning the sheet 18 upon the unit grid by positioning means 20. The positioning means 20 may be a lashing means, such as a rope or a strap with a buckle. Other means for positioning the sheet material on the struts of the unit grid, as with a nut and bolt, will be apparent to those skilled in the art. A unit grid over which a wind-impervious sheet is secured is referred to as a unit planar screen.
Where the elongate struts are angle or channelshaped, as for example commonly available UNIS- TRUT or DEXION brand sections with perforations at fixed intervals, the grommets may be placed in the sheet material so as to be directy above a perforation. Thus, the sheet material may be fastened to the unit grid by simply bolting the material to the foraminous strut. It will be recognized that where the grommets are so bolted to the foraminous strut, there is no leakage through the grommet. Thus, most of the leakage and wind-spillage in high wind conditions will occur around the periphery of the unit grid. When a planar screen is so constructed, with no grommet means for leakage it will generally require stronger sheet material, since the entire force of the wind is borne by the sheet anchored to the grid, and no leakage occurs through the grommet holes. Since heavy sheet materials are more expensive, it may be preferable to use the standard sheet material and provide grommet escapes within the sheet wherein the grommets are deliberately left open. As
spaced grommets which permit the flap to be secured in overlapping relationship to the abutting screen. Use of flaps permits a more airtight enclosure in normal wind conditions.
it will be apparent from the foregoing that the instant weather-sealing enclosure is relatively airtight under normal weather conditions, namely, with wind velocities less than about 50 miles per hour. However, at abnormal wind conditions, namely in excess of about 50 miles per hour, the unit planar screen must permit escape of high velocity wind and prevent fragmentation of the screens. Where a unit planar screen is made of a relatively lightweight material, such as bamboo or titanium tubing, the screen is sufficiently flexible so that it may be lashed to the vertical members 21 very tightly. However, where the struts are of a relatively rigid material, such as 1.5 inch diameter aluminum pipe forming a unit grid as described herein, the chain 23 secures the unit planar screen 11 to the vertical structural steel member 21 so as to permit sufficient give, that is, to permit displacement of the screen or distortion thereof relative to the structural steel framework under abnormal wind conditions. Manually securing a strut of the instant screen with a chain to the vertical structural steel member 21 is found to provide the necessary amount of give for a unit planar screen which is relatively rigid, that is, not sufficiently flexible to permit the escape of air during high velocity winds. A typical unit grid formed of 1.5 inch diameter No. 6063-T6 aluminum structural pipe, clad with an 18 mil. reinforced vinyl wind-impervious sheet having overall dimensions of 20 ft. width and 25 ft. height, weighs approximately 400 pounds, and is suspended by /4-inch diameter steel cable reeved on winches positioned one or two floors above the confined airspace.
FIG. 3 is a cross sectional plan view of a unit planar screen secured to a vertical structural steel member 21 by a chain 23. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the vertical structural steel member 21 is at the midpoint of a unit screen, the width of which screen corresponds to twice the spacing of the vertical structural steel members. Where screens abut, the side members are preferably in abutting relationship directly above a vertical structural member.
FIG. 4 is a cross sectional plan view of the unit planar screen, which in the phantom position is shown abutting the bulkhead of a floor in its normal position. In the other position, the unit screen is shown displaced in spaced-apart relationship to the bulkhead under abnormally high wind conditions where the grid is so rigid that flexure in the struts under such conditions is not visually apparent. Where the struts 14 are relatively flexible, such as of bamboo, flexure under gale conditions would be readily visible. The instant screens have been successfully used without being shredded at winds in excess of miles per hour.
FIG. is an exploded, detailed view of the unit grid showing cross fittings, T-fittings, and L-fittings used to assemble relatively rigid metal tubing to form the unit grid. It will be noted that in the particular embodiments shown herein, the cross fittings, T- and L-fittings are offset, since the rigidity of the struts 14 requires offset fittings. Where the struts are quite flexible, i.e., flexible enough so as to permit the use of planar L- and T- fittings at the ends of the struts, these planar fittings may be used.
FIG. 6 is a detail of an offset cross fitting, depicting locking means for removably securing tubular struts 14 into a unit grid.
Though it will be apparent that various modifications of the invention should be limited by the advance by which the invention has promoted the art, and described herein will be possible, the scope of the invention is defined by the claims appended hereto.

Solid multifunction cable4/28/2014
This is a very well made (not cheap like most) multifunction cable that handles the two most likely needs with a micro usb and apple lightning connector that has the micro usb to lightning adapter securely attached to the cable to prevent loss. If you have an Apple product and a handsfree device, this cable will likely work with both (though not at the same time). Very convenient.

If she would wrestle Beth Phoenix at WrestleMania: "Beth was saying that she was the most dominant champion, so I thought I would just let her know that title is already taken. As for a match between Beth and myself at WrestleMania that is an excellent proposition and I think the fans would love that. I've actually had the opportunity to tangle up with Beth Phoenix a couple of times and I think that she is amazing in the ring and I would love to kick her ass actually."
If she would consider going back to the WWE or TNA on a full time basis: "I always keep the door open, if I'm presented an amazing opportunity and something where I feel I can create a great moment and a memorable moment for the fans then absolutely I would pursue it.
"I returned to action last year at WrestleMania and was a part of the latest series of Tough Enough as a trainer alongside Booker T and Steve Austin. If I was given the opportunity to create another great opportunity at WrestleMania and definitely yes."

As Drones Hit the Sky Lawsuits Predicted to Fly
The rise of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles ("UAV"), also known as drones, is well-documented. In fact, the global market for non-military drones has recently been estimated as a $2.5 billion industry that is growing at approximately 15 to 20 percent annually. See Clay Dillow, Get Ready for 'Drone Nation,' Fortune, Oct. 27, 2014. Companies large and small are heavily investing in drone technology and generating business capabilities based on their potential.
While some of the most highly publicized forays into drone usage include Fortune 500 shipping companies – such as Amazon investigating the potential use of drones for their delivery service – less publicized industries are ripe for drone operation. These industries include agriculture, construction, energy, and mining. Id. All of which are industries in which it is easy to imagine the benefits of aerial data.
In fact, the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International predicts that eventually 80 percent of the commercial drone market will relate to agriculture. See Christopher Doering, Growing Use of Drones Poised to Transform Agriculture, USA Today, Mar. 23, 2014. This is because a drone's ability to assist farmers in identifying and analyzing insect problems, watering issues, crop yield, missing cattle, and fertilizing make for a natural union with the industry.
While some farmers may purchase and operate their own drones, it is expected that specialized companies will fill this demand. One such company is goFarm LLC ("goFarm")[1], a Michigan-based agri-data business – one of the few companies authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration to legally operate commercial drones in this arena. GoFarm performs field surveys by drones operating at low altitudes that collect imagery in visible and non-visible bands to determine health of crops. By analyzing hundreds or thousands of images, goFarm performs detailed assessments of the condition of entire fields and individual plants.
Whether such data is collected by end-user farmers or by specialized third-party companies such as goFarm, all individuals and companies involved need to be cognizant that with great opportunity also comes risk.
Beyond, the obvious risks of property damage that could result from wayward drones, many jurisdictions have, or are in the process of, passing legislation aimed at addressing privacy concerns. The most recent example of such legislation comes out of Florida. On May 14, 2015, Florida Governor Rick Scott signed a drone privacy bill into law. This bill establishes a private right of action for people photographed in their homes by drones without their consent. Some speculate that this legislation will trigger a wave of litigation. See Carolina Bolado, New Fla. Drone Privacy Law Could Trigger Litigation Wave, Law360, May 15, 2015.
Legislation similar to that passed in Florida creates substantial risk to drone based companies, even those operating in rural locations typically associated with industries such as agriculture and mining. GoFarm's Chief Technology Officer, Eric Silberg, explains that "when conducting their assessments, in order to ensure adequate coverage, inevitably pictures are taken of the areas directly surrounding the field goFarm operators are contracted to assess. These pictures may include property that does not belong to goFarm's customer, even if the drone never flies over land not belonging to the customer. This extraneous data is removed during the analysis process, and is not available in any product." While companies utilizing drones for photographic purposes will need to alter their operations to comply with any local rules and regulations, inadvertent photographs could result in litigation exposure.
In order to protect themselves from privacy related claims, as well as other liability exposures, companies utilizing drones need to assess their insurance portfolios to ensure adequate coverage. In particular, companies need to analyze the breadth of their liability policies, including the language of any potentially applicable exclusion contained therein – such as exclusions associated with aviation risk. This analysis should be conducted with the help of an experienced insurance broker and/or insurance coverage counsel.
In the event that the company's liability policies are deemed not broad enough to cover its contemplated operations, the company should investigate purchasing UAV coverage. Given the relative infancy of the drone market, insurance companies are developing and releasing new products associated with drone activity at a breakneck speed. Consequently, coverages and pricing will likely vary across carriers. Risk managers should speak with their insurance experts to ensure that an appropriate and cost-effective insurance solution is identified and implemented.

USCIS Suspends Premium Processing for H-1B Extensions
USCIS has announced that it will suspend premium processing for all H-1B extension petitions between May 26, 2015, and July 27, 2015. It will use this time to implement the Employment Authorization for Certain H-4 Spouses and ensure that these applications for work authorization will be adjudicated in a timely manner.
Premium processing allows certain petitions and applications to be expedited. A decision or Request for Evidence ("RFE") must be issued within 15 calendar days of filing the premium processing request. For this service, USCIS requires a $1,225 filing fee to be included with the petition.
USCIS will continue to process cases filed using premium processing prior to May 26, 2015. If an H-1B extension is filed under premium processing before May 26, 2015, but a decision is not issued within the 15-day period, USCIS will refund the premium processing fee. All other petitions are still eligible for premium processing.
Are Cosmetics Gaining Higher Congressional and FDA Scrutiny?
Currently, FDA regulates cosmetics to ensure they are not adulterated or misbranded, but does not have the authority to order cosmetic recalls or require adverse event reporting. Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Susan Collins (R-ME) seek to change that.
On April 20, 2015, they introduced the Personal Care Products Safety Act (S.1014). The Act, if passed, would modify Chapter VI of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) to strengthen FDA's oversight of, and regulatory authority over, cosmetic products.
Title I of the Act ("Cosmetic Safety") gives FDA authority to order cosmetic recalls, as well as require manufacturers to:
Report adverse events,
Label ingredients not appropriate for children,
Post complete label information (including ingredients and product warnings) online, and
Register their facilities with FDA.
In addition to this significant new authority over manufacturers, the Act also requires FDA to work with industry and consumer groups to annually select and review at least 5 ingredients or non-functional constituents.
The first 5 ingredients, if the law is passed, will be:
Diazolidinyl urea
Lead acetate
Methylene glycol/methanediol/formaldehyde
Propyl paraben
Title II of the Act ("Fees Related to Cosmetic Safety") outlines the costs associated with enforcement of the new standards. With an annual implementation cost estimated at $20.6 million, it is to be funded by annual fees from all registered owners or operators of cosmetic facilities engaged in manufacturing or processing in the United States.
The Act has wide industry support, including the Personal Care Products Council (a 600+ member company trade association), large cosmetics manufacturers, and consumer groups. Since it was introduced, it has gained two co-sponsors, Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN).
The Act is consistent with FDA's current priorities related to cosmetics. Two of these priorities have been reporting of adverse events (with the majority of issues seen in hair care products), and maintaining a distinct line between over-the-counter drugs and cosmetics, because cosmetics need not currently undergo the additional scrutiny that OTC drugs must.
More information on the Personal Care Products Safety Act can be found in Senator Feinstein's statement upon its introduction.
Executive Order Provides Sanctions Aimed at Fighting Cyberattacks
On April 1, the president signed Executive Order 13694, which created a new sanctions regime for fighting cyberattacks. This creates opportunities for companies that are facing or may face cyberattacks. The Executive Order provides additional tools for victims of cyberattacks to punish the perpetrators by working with the government. The Executive Order creates framework to allow the government to take action in response to attacks on private companies and take all measures necessary to punish co-conspirators. The Executive Order also creates several issues that individuals and companies with international dealings should consider taking into consideration to avoid potential liability.
The Executive Order grants the Secretary of the Treasury authority to "block" the assets of anyone who conducts or aids "cyber-enabled activities . . . reasonably likely to result in, or have materially contributed to, a significant threat to the national security, foreign policy, or economic health or financial stability of the United States . . . ." The Executive Order also grants the power to sanction any individual or entity that gives support to, assists in anyway, or sponsors such a cyber-attacker. The U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) will work in coordination with other U.S. government agencies to identify individuals and entities that engage in prohibited cyber activities and designate them for sanctions. Persons designated under this Executive Order will be added to OFAC's list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN List). U.S. persons are prohibited from engaging in most all transactions with designated individuals and entities named on the SDN List or entities owned by such designated persons. Additionally, designated persons sanctioned under the Executive Order will be blocked from entering the United States.
Given the growing nature of cyberattacks and the Executive Order's potentially broad reach, individuals and companies with international business should consider taking steps to ensure their business partners do not meet the criteria of cyberattackers. For example, payments from persons designated as cyberattackers will be blocked by U.S. financial institutions and U.S. persons that engage in transactions with such persons could be subject to substantial penalties. Accordingly, U.S. businesses engaged in international transactions should consider updating their compliance programs and screening procedures to ensure they are not dealing with any persons designated on the SDN List, or that are owned 50 percent or more by such designated persons.
The Executive Order represents a turning point for the administration. It signals that the administration will take a more active role in fighting attacks that are often diffuse and difficult to investigate. Barnes & Thornburg has worked with the government to track down hackers who have levied corporate cyberattacks. In light of the Executive Order, there can be little doubt that the government will redouble its efforts to help victim companies, presenting opportunities for companies to work with the government in its efforts to track down and stop the perpetrators. This is good news for fighting cyberattacks.

$13.59Written by the prizewinning Irish poet Moya Cannon, this collection explores the effects of time, change, migration, and travel-in both the human and the natural worlds. Sensuous and resonant, these poems are votive offerings that possess musicality and are sensitive to the functional qualities language.
$12.79Migrations-of birds, people, words, and songs-and the ravages of time are luminously explored in this wonderful collection of poems. At their core, the poems draw together the natural and human worlds through resonating, rhythmic prose. A selection of poems from the poet's previous collections is also included.
$11.19The best ink stones are slates from Chinese riverbeds, but in the long history of their use these have all been found. As one expert writes, 'the better the stone, the smaller and more consistent the particles will be and the denser the ink.' These new poems by Jamie McKendrick have a remarkable density of ink. They explore the grain, or 'tooth', of the natural world with unusual and discomforting
$8.89Moyra Donaldson's poetry has grown to ignite unexpected perceptions and magnify them. Betrayals, personal and political; excavations, historical and psychic; correspondences of temperament and object; innocences pristine and varied and very much in power. The Goose Tree shows a poet treading on her own footprints; the considerable themes of her career advanced in perspective and colour and with
$9.99A hauntingly poetic evocation of English surrealism meeting the Movement style - so empirical wit combines with vividly rendered dreamscapes. What makes Richard Lambert rare as a poet is the unshowy integrity which percolates through his poetics. While others camp things up, he keeps them calm and true. There's no harrumphing, no ostentation, no display. Night Journey is a memorable, softly dyna..
$9.99Kate Noakes' Cape Town poems command our imaginative attention with all the power that the crossroads and lawns, wastelands and landscapes of "fateful convergence" commanded hers, a visitor from a hemisphere away. Like the stargazers in her 'Kruger Nocturne', "scanning until our retinas gave away", Noakes writes with an acute sense of atmosphere reminiscent of the photographs of David Goldblatt,
$11.69A celebrated winner of fiction's Orange Prize, Helen Dunmore is as spellbinding a storyteller in her poetry as in her novels. As in her fiction, these haunting narratives draw us into darkness, engaging our fears and hopes in poetry of rare luminosity. Her poems also cast a bright, revealing light on the living world, by land and sea, on love, longing and loss. "Out of the Blue" presents a
$6.29This collection is about women's experiences of work, the city, menopause and ancestry. The poems have a touch as deft as the seamstresses and other craftspeople who populate the book. They are funny, political and lyrical. Wills shapes the metaphorical and physical terrain of the female body in an original, essential way. In one section, the poems are weighted with the visceral routine of daily
$8.99In 'The Stone Garden: poems from Clare', Diane Fahey offers a vibrant engagement with key features of County Clare's natural environment. Starting in a cottage in the north-east, with a long view of the coast, the poet journeys into the further reaches - Lough Derg, Dromore Wood, and the Burren region with its stony but uncannily fertile landscapes, cliffs and shores. 'The Stone Garden' is a
$8.99MACCAIG * MORGAN * LOCHHEAD Introduced by Roderick Watson This book contains a selection of the finest work from three of Scotland's best-known and best-loved poets: Norman MacCaig, Edwin Morgan and Liz Lochhead. They have fascinated and charmed thousands of readers and listeners across Europe and America with the energy, humour and compassion of their vision. MacCaig's memorable celebrations of
$16.39Corpus - Michael Symmons Roberts' Whitbread-Prize winning fourth collection - centres around the body. Mystical, philosophical and erotic, the bodies in these poems move between different worlds - life and after-life, death and resurrection - encountering pathologists' blades, geneticists' maps and the wounds of love and war. Equally at ease with scripture (Jacob wrestling the Angel in
$16.39Lucid, tender, and strangely troubling, the poems in The Asylum Dance - which won the Whitbread Prize for Poetry - are hymns to the tension between the sanctuary of home and the lure of escape. This is territory that Burnside has made his own: a domestic world threaded through with myth and longing, beyond which lies a no man's land - the 'somewhere in between' - of dusk or dawn, of mists or
