You have the right to send us a request, no more than twice in a twelve-month period, for any of the following for the period that is twelve months prior to the request date:
You have the right to make or obtain a transportable copy, no more than twice in a twelve-month period, of your personal information that we have collected in the period that is 12 months prior to the request date and are maintaining.Data Deletion Rights

Any request you submit to us is subject to an identification and residency verification process ("Verifiable Consumer Request").
The Verifiable Consumer Request must:
Some personal information we maintain about Consumers is not sufficiently associated with enough personal information about the Consumer for us to be able to verify that it is a particular Consumer's personal information (e.g., clickstream data tied only to a pseudonymous browser ID). As required by the CCPA, we do not include that personal information in response to Verifiable Consumer Requests. If we cannot comply with a request, we will explain the reasons in our response.

We do not "sell" personal information that we collect from you, in accordance with the definition of "sell" in the CCPA and will treat personal information we collect from you as subject to a do not sell request. There is not yet a consensus as to whether third-party cookies and tracking devices associated with our websites may constitute a "sale" of your personal information as defined by the CCPA. You can exercise control over browser-based cookies by adjusting the settings on your browser.
We will not discriminate against you in a manner prohibited by the CCPA because you exercise your CCPA rights. However, we may charge a different price or rate, or offer a different level or quality of good or service, to the extent that doing so is reasonably related to the value of the applicable data.
California's "Shine the Light" law, Civil Code section 1798.83, requires certain businesses to respond to requests from California customers asking about the businesses' practices related to disclosing personal information to third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes.

Heath's bond set at $95,000
A woman accused of writing hundreds of dollars of bad checks from a dead person's account was arrested last week.
The Piggly Wiggly on U.S. 258 North reported to the Lenoir County Sheriff�s Office on June 4 fraudulent checks had been written and cashed at the store, according to a department report.
The checking account on which the checks were drawn had been previously closed following the death of the account holder.
Melanie Heath, 32, of Spring Court, Kinston, allegedly cashed six checks totaling $730 from the closed account in March.
On Aug. 7, Heath was questioned by the detective division of the Sheriff�s Office and confessed to stealing and forging the checks and then cashing them at the Piggly Wiggly, the report states.
Heath was an acquaintance of the account holder�s son and had found the checks while in the deceased�s home.
�It is not uncommon for my investigators to work these types of cases,� Sheriff Chris Hill said. �In this particular case, the motivating factor for stealing and forging the checks was the suspect�s drug addiction. Many property crimes are directly relational to drug abuse.�
Heath was charged with common law forgery, common law uttering of forged paper, obtaining property by false pretense and possession and transportation of five or more counterfeit interments.
She was arrested and placed under a $95,000 bond and jailed on Friday.Heath�s bond set at $95,000

"Look," says Vlee, a Forest Hills resident, pointing to poster pasted to a lamppost that shows a sketch of a suspected serial attacker. "Security would be very helpful because I run and like to hike."
More security will come to Forest Park in Woodhaven, with the expected installation of seven camera units—a total of 14 cameras—in the more than 500-acre park. Assemblyman Mike Miller and State Senator Joseph Addabbo secured $250,000 in state funding to install the cameras in response to recent attacks in the park, including an August 26th rape of an elderly jogger.
"The cameras would be a good deterrent for crime, all types of crime," says Miller. "God forbid something should happen, these are excellent cameras that should be able to pick up the comings and goings."
Miller says he hopes to decide on the camera locations and have them installed by the end of spring, but noted that the timeline is not entirely within his control.
Miller and Addabbo must work with the Department of Parks and Recreation and Queens Parks Commissioner Dorothy Lewandoski to figure out where the cameras will be most effective in deterring or catching offenders.
They will then submit those plans for approval and go into contract with the state Dormitory Authority. The NYPD will operate and monitor the system once the cameras are up and running.
Miller says the cameras will not replace mounted patrols or police presence, but will step up overall safety in the park.
"The Police Department works very hard, they're the hardest working people out there," Miller says. "[Precinct] 102 is overburdened, but they keep the park and what happened a priority."
Ed Wendell, the outgoing president of the Woodhaven Residents' Block Association, says he welcomes the cameras in Forest Park. "Obviously, it's good news," he said. "Every additional measure of safety is a good thing."
Wendell says many are still concerned about the serial attacks, and fellow residents have questioned the city's responsiveness to safety issues there in the past. "I want to see them in place, I want to see them go in," Wendell said. "In other words, I'm happy they've made this announcement, but I'll be truly happy when I see the cameras."
But Wendell also points out that Forest Park spans more than 500 acres—there are wooded trails with little foot traffic, and roads closed off to cars. "You can't cover everything," he admits, though he says even if the seven camera units can't catch every crime in progress, they can monitor the people who are passing through, helping police target suspected lawbreakers.
Ana Ortiz and Douglas Rodriguez, a couple who live near Forest Park, visit everyday. Ortiz and Rodriguez were walking their dogs Saturday, two big, gray pit bulls each straining at the end of a leash. Rodriguez says he thinks cameras are a good idea, at least to discover crimes.
"I don't know if it will prevent it, but help catch it," he said.
But both say they don't think 14 cameras will be enough to cover the entire park. "That's it?" Ortiz asks. "I think if they're only going to put 14 in, they shouldn't put none at all."
Then again, they have their own security. "Walking these guys, people are scared," Rodriguez says, nodding to the pit bulls. "But," he adds, "if she's [Ortiz] walking late at night by herself, then she's scared."
Near the playground, Tatsiana Dyerman walks with her five-year-old daughter. "I don't care if someone's watching me," she said. A Rego Park resident, she also wonders if this number of cameras will be enough for such a big park. "At least it's something," she shrugs.
Fiddling with her iPod after her jog, Jamaica resident Liz Sazo says she gets the concern. Once it's known that cameras are there, park safety could improve, but never be perfect, she says. "As a female runner I err on the side of caution, regardless of what's really around," she said.
Cathy Lazauskas and Javier Martinez sit at picnic table with chipping red paint. "This is our park," Martinez says standing up, and he means it. He just proposed to Lazauskas just a few minutes before—right in this very spot.
Lazauskas, whose ring finger is now weighted down by a string of diamonds, says they never really thought about security cameras before.
"If it helps, it's a start," Martinez adds.
Both say they still think patrolling would be more effective, though they rarely see cops within Forest Park, just on the boundaries. They usually feel safe, but the recent incidents, including the rape of the jogger—and now the announcement that cameras will be installed—is a wake up call.
"It's weird to hear that," Lazauskas says.
"It makes you think. You get worried a little bit," Martinez says of Forest Park. "But then you go in and enjoy yourself."

This week's column spotlights four of the women featured in the 2013 New York Musical Theatre Festival, which runs through July 28 at various venues around the city. Diva Talk posed the same set of questions to each talented artist; their answers, via email, follow.
How did you get involved with this production?
I received a lovely email from Daryl Eisenberg, the show's casting director on behalf of the creative team. As actors we are always putting ourselves out there, audition after audition hoping for the "right fit." It will never get old to have someone actually bring a project to you, without having to go through that process. I hadn't worked with this team before, so I was extremly flattered that they thought I would be that right fit.
What other NYMF productions have you been a part of?
This is my second year in a row being a part of the festival, and I couldn't be happier about it. Last year I was in a show called It's On as part of the staged reading series. I'm excited to move on to a full production this year.
How would you describe the character you're playing?
We are actually days away from starting rehearsals, so I have a lot to learn about her still. I love the process of working with the director and writers to fully discover who the character is. My initial feelings are that Cynthia is fragile. She is from a wealthy family and has been taken care of her whole life. She has an intense need to be needed and to feel like she has worth. Part of her journey is learning if she can stand on her own two feet.
Why do you think audiences should attend this particular production?
I think this is a story that everyone can relate to in some way. It's about five people who all need to come to terms with their past in order to move on towards their future. Oh, and the cast is made up of some really pretty people. Who doesn't like to look at pretty people?
Why do you think NYMF is so important?
NYMF celebrates new works, and that is something that is very important to me. We, as a community, need to be supporting up-and-coming writers, composers and performers. NYMF gives us the chance to be a part of these shows in their early stages and feel the creative energy flowing everywhere. It's invigorating and exciting!
NYMF celebrates new musicals, but which role in a classic musical would you most like to perform and why?
Well, my ultimate dream would be to create a role that becomes a classic. However, if I could choose anything, Les Miz has always been my favorite show. I would pretty much do anything to get the chance to be in it in any capacity. Hair hag, Whore #1, or hell, I would sing a mean "Stars." We can gender bend, right?
What is your most memorable onstage mishap?
I was 17 or 18 playing Little Red in Into The Woods, still one of my favorite experiences to date. I suppose I was in a hurry to pin my wig on that particular day, because when the Baker went to rip my cape off my shoulders, the hook caught on one of my curls and ripped my wig right off my head. It went flying into the 2nd or 3rd row. I'm not kidding. The scream the audience got that day was a mixture of temper tantrum and total mortification. I had a 30-second crossover backstage for my big song, and there was no way to get it back and on my head, so the number was performed in just my wig cap. Not quite sure I will ever forget that….or live it down.
What was your most enjoyable theatrical experience of the season (as a member of the audience)?
There have been a few. Getting to watch long-time friend Lesli Margheritamake her long overdue Broadway debut (and almost steal the show) inMatilda was definitely a huge one. I loved the show so much! Those children blew my mind!! I also lost my mind over the creativity of Pippin. Who wouldn't be impressed by performers putting on body suits and jumping through hoops. Literally. Lastly, I was unbelievably touched and so emotional when I saw Last 5 Years at Second Stage. Beautiful performances, beautiful material! If only I were a blonde…I would kill to sink my teeth into that role!
Do you have any other projects in the works?
I'm kinda working on a secret project with a long-time collaborator. I dont think I'm ready to talk about it yet, but it involves two things that scare me to death. Pop music and recording studios, and I couldn't be more excited about conquering my fears!

A 40-foot sinkhole swallowed eight cars at the National Corvette Museum this morning. In an official release the NCM stated that at 5:44a.m. the security company notified the staff that the motion detectors had gone off in the Skydome area of the Museum. When they arrived it was apparent that a sinkhole had opened up, and eventually grew 25- to 30-feet deep.
The Skydome houses some of the most iconic and historic Corvettes. While two cars belonged to General Motors, a 1993 ZR-1 Spyder and 2009 ZR1 "Blue Devil," the other six were owned by the museum. The list includes a black 1962 model, 1984 PPG Pace Car, white 1992 1 Millionth Corvette, 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary, 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06, and a 2009 White 1.5 Millionth Corvette. Only one car was salvaged by the staff before the emergency crew made them vacate, which (thankfully) was the 1983 model.
Stay tuned for updates as this story progresses. At present a structural engineer is on the premises to assessing the damage and stability of the area, and the museum is closed for the day. With the upcoming opening of the NCM Motorsports Park and National Corvette Caravan upcoming (August 27-30), the museum hopes to be up and running in the very near future.
Update: we have confirmation from Greg Lovell of AntiVenom that the 2001 Corvette was donated just last month by his customer, Kevin Helmintoller. Let's all bow our heads in silence for the loss of such a great machine.
Here are some pictures of the Skydome from our last visit to the NCM, for the full story click here.

"There are many examples of high-wattage celebrity that eventually find themselves done in by a misguided sense of their own immortality. The day eventually comes that they find themselves on stage and there are no cheering crowds. Then, it will dawn on them. But by then it will be too late..."This is about the SaharaTV interview. Continue to read the full article...
Judging by the fact that the transcript of D'banj interview with SaharaReporters TV is still one of the most-read stories on this platform even one week after it happened, this continues to be a hot button topic for thousands of young Nigerians – as it should be.
(See the interview transcript HERE.)
No one – no matter how many bodyguards he has or how many hit albums to his credit – should be above being interrogated by his or her compatriots over the state of the common enterprise called Nigeria.
Now, there are those who have reacted with visceral, even uncommon, anger over what they refer to as Dbanj's insensitivity and a seeming discontent with the Nigerian reality. And there is the visibly minority view, which insists that D'banj is only an entertainer and should be left alone.
Yes, it is a bit of a stretch to criticise D'banj for not joining the rallies in Lagos or London, or to insist that he must oppose the fuel subsidy removal policy. It is after all his fundamental right as a citizen to hold an opinion, even if – perhaps especially when – it is not the popular one.
But that is hardly the point. What D'banj did was essentially tell his interviewer that he had no concern on the subjects of poverty, fuel subsidy removal and the way the affairs of the country are managed – and in the most dismissive sense.
This is wrong for many reasons.
For one, the artiste has referred to himself as a youth ambassador. Of course, as people try to position themselves and their careers, titles like this are strategic to that advancement. However, they must also be ready for the responsibility that comes with that priviledge.
Even more to the point, there is an ironic contraction to D'banj's latest stance that severely undermines his personal credibility. The singer has always been in his legal and moral rights to produce a song for any politician for a fee – as a business person, this is proper practice. However, in D'banj's case, he has insisted that this was an endorsement based on belief and not a commercial venture.
This is where it gets tricky. How do you endorse a man out of concern for your nation a year ago and then suddenly be too busy to care about the most important matter concerning your nation, and brought about by that man, a year after?
For those who insist that D'banj is an entertainer and thus should not be burdened with these issues, that is the crux of the matter. He put himself out there.
Perhaps more disappointing than this lack of consistency, is the transparent arrogance in a young man whose success is created by the public, disdainful of the issues on the top of that public's mind. It is impractical to expect Dban'j to have a Seun Kuti-like grasp of the complexities of cost of governance and fuel subsidy removal, but it is by no means out of order to expect him to show an awareness and sensitivity to those issues, at whatever level he understands them.
It is important for the famous and the influential to understand that patriotism and concern for one's country is intrinsically linked to the entire concept of citizenship – active or not. You cannot be arrogantly disinterested in your country and still hope to profit from its progress.
D'banj is a talented young man with a superior grasp of his business and his musical brand. If anything, this is apparent from the sold out concert in New York immediately following the disastrous interview. But we certainly hope this is not an attitude he intends to keep up, just because the concert crowds are large, the music awards continue to stream in and the bank account is deservedly fat.
If that is in fact the case, then he would be sorely mistaken. There are many examples of high-wattage celebrity that eventually find themselves done in by a misguided sense of their own immortality.
The day eventually comes that they find themselves on stage and there are no cheering crowds. Then, it will dawn on them. But by then it will be too late.

MENLO PARK — Facebook said Thursday that it will offer free, limited Internet access to mobile phone subscribers in the African nation of Zambia, as part of CEO Mark Zuckerberg's Internet.org initiative to introduce affordable online services in developing regions of the world.
Airtel phone customers in Zambia will be able to use Facebook and 12 other online services, including AccuWeather, Google Search and apps that focus on women's rights, health information and employment, without mobile data charges. Facebook has negotiated with wireless companies to provide free access to the social network in other countries, but this will be the first time it offers access to other services through the Internet.org website and a new Android mobile app.
The program could benefit Facebook in the long run by introducing more people to the social network and expanding the audience for Facebook's advertising business. While acknowledging the point, Zuckerberg has also said Internet access will bring economic and social benefits to developing nations.

Why is it important that I contact the Hospital's Patient Financial Services department if I am unable to make the full payment, or if I do not receive a bill?
It is important to avoid becoming a delinquent account. Delinquent accounts may be referred to outside collection agencies if payment in full or mutually agreed upon payment arrangements are not obtained in a timely manner.
Children's Hospital encourages you to contact our Patient Financial Services if you do not receive a bill within 90 days after the service or if you cannot pay the balance due. One of our friendly customer service representatives or a financial counselor will be happy to discuss all of our payment options with you and help you find the plan that best fits your budget.

(510) 428-3485
When do I make the co-payment and/or deductible payment?
Co-payments are due at the time of service. If you are unsure of your co-pay responsibility, please consult your health insurance policy. If you are an inpatient, our financial counselors will obtain the deductible information at the time they check your eligibility.
When is my payment due?
Patient balances are due upon receipt of your billing statement. If you change addresses after receiving services—please contact Patient Financial Services to avoid problems receiving your bill and delinquent accounts.
What is the difference between a Hospital Billing Statement and a Professional Business Billing Statement?
You are likely to receive at least 2 separate bills for services rendered. For one visit you may receive a bill from:
Private physicians who provided services
Your own primary care physician
The Hospital/Facility—charges for any hospital services
At Children's Hospital, we bill for the hospital services only.
By law, the doctors who practice at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland hospitals are independent contractors and not employees of the hospital. As independent contractors, they bill for their services separately—as does the hospital.
If multiple doctors representing different specialties provide services during your stay in the hospital, then you will receive a bill from each of the doctors who provided care to you during your stay. Sometimes, this includes doctors you may not realize provided care to you, such as the radiologist who read and interpreted your x-ray.
For example: If your child is a patient that has an outpatient surgery—you will receive a billing statement from UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland for the hospital facility charges. You will also receive separate billing statements from the physicians performing your surgery and the anesthesiologist.
Some doctors are not in-network even though the hospital is. As independent contractors, the doctors who work in our hospitals are free to contract with any health plan. Because these doctors are independent, the hospital does not require that they be "in-network." To be certain about your coverage, you must check with your insurance plan about a particular provider's status.
Patient balances due may also influence what bills you will receive for a visit:
If an unpaid balance remains after all insurances have processed your claim, you will receive a billing statement.
You may also receive a billing statement from us if your insurance does not pay your claim.
How does my insurance company receive the claims for health care services?
As a courtesy, Patient Financial Services will bill our hospital services claim to your health insurance carrier if complete information was provided at the time of registration. To insure proper and prompt processing of your claim, please be sure to verify the insurance information we have at the time of your registration.
How do I know if my bill is covered by my Insurance?
If you have questions about what is and is not covered under your healthcare policy, please consult your healthcare policy provider. Though we try and assist our patients on coverage question's it is your responsibility to know what is covered under your policy.
Once your insurer processes your claim, we will file any secondary insurances provided to us.

Editor's note:
The recipe and introductory text below are excerpted from Grace Young's book The Breath of a Wok.
Young also shared some helpful cooking tips exclusively with Epicurious, which we've added at the bottom of the page.
For Young's article on Cantonese cooking, click here.
Chef Lee Wan Ching of Yee Hen restaurant on Lantau Island, Hong Kong, taught me this recipe. Traditionally ginger is always cooked with broccoli — its warmth balances the coolness of yin vegetables such as broccoli. Just a small amount of ginger juice intensifies the flavor of the vegetables. To make ginger juice, grate a small amount of ginger and then squeeze it with your fingers to extract the juice.
- Yield
- Serves 4 as part of a multicourse meal
- 6 medium stalks Chinese broccoli (about 12 ounces)
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
- 1 teaspoon ginger juice
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 slices ginger
- 1. Cut the broccoli stalks in half lengthwise if more than 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut the stalks and leaves into 2-inch-long pieces, keeping the stalk ends separate from the leaves. In a small bowl combine the broth, rice wine, ginger juice, cornstarch, salt, and sugar.
- 2. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in the oil, add the ginger, and stir-fry 10 seconds or until the ginger is fragrant. Add only the broccoli stalks and stir-fry 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until the stalks are bright green. Add the leaves and stir-fry 1 minute until the leaves are just limp. Stir the broth mixture and swirl it into the wok. Stir-fry 1 minute or until the sauce has thickened slightly and lightly coats the vegetables.
Grace Young shares her tips with Epicurious:
·Also known as Chinese kale or gai lum, Chinese broccoli has crunchy stalks with tiny pale green buds and large, dark green leaves. Avoid stalks with dried ends, open flowers, or yellow leaves, all signs of age. Regular broccoli can be substituted, if desired. Cut the stalks into 1/4-inch-thick pieces and cook for 1 minute before adding florets.
·For grating ginger, look for the newer microplane-style graters, which make this task a snap.
·Click here for a recipe for homemade chicken stock from Gourmet. If you'd rather buy it, Young recommends the organic brand Pacific, sold in cartons.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama on Wednesday will nominate business executive and former engineer Sally Jewell to lead the Interior Department, an administration official said.
Jewell is the president and chief executive officer at the outdoors company Recreational Equipment, Inc., known as REI, which sells clothing and gear for outdoor adventures with more than 100 stores across the country. Prior to joining REI in 2000, Jewell worked in commercial banking and as an engineer for Mobil Oil Corporation.
If confirmed, Jewell would replace current Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, who held the post throughout Obama's first term. Salazar announced last month that he would step down in March.
Jewell is the first woman in Obama's crop of second-term Cabinet nominees. The White House faced criticism that the new Cabinet lacked diversity after Obama tapped a string of white men for top posts, but Obama promised more diverse nominees were in the queue for other jobs.
Jewell's confirmation would also put a prominent representative from the business community in the president's Cabinet. REI is a $2 billion-a-year company and has been named by Fortune Magazine as one of the top 100 companies to work for.
Obama was to announce Jewell's nomination during a ceremony in the White House State Dining Room Wednesday afternoon, according to the official who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to confirm Jewell's nomination ahead of the president.
Under Salazar, the Interior Department pushed renewable power such as solar and wind and oversaw a moratorium on offshore drilling after the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The moratorium was lifted in October 2010, although offshore drilling operations did not begin for several more months.
The Interior Department manages millions of acres in national parks and forests, overseeing energy and mining operations on some of the government-owned land.
Obama picks outdoor retail executive for Interior

Gotta love Tony Stark! Robert Downey Jr. was born to play this guy. Director Jon Favreau knows tone & uses it to guide us through a fantastical world. A world where men glide across the sky in klunky metallic suits with booster rockets in their boots. No matter how unbelievable the action, in 'Iron Man 2,' it ALWAYS comes back to one thing: Good acting. The cast is solid, with Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Samuel L. Jackson, Sam Rockwell, Scarlett Johanssen & a downright dedicated Mickey Rourke as Ivan Danko. Rourke deserves credit for taking a not-so-serious movie role, so very serious. Going method, Rourke found himself in Russia spending many hours with hardened Russian prisoners and Russian prison guards. He also immersed himself in the culture of criminal tattoos authentic to the region & even sported Russian prison beads that were hand-crafted from melted down cigarette lighters. The result is a Superhero movie villain you wished had more screen time.
"Iron Man" fans will hold their heads up walking out of the multiplex. The film delivers exactly what it should. Smirky Stark humor, fresh dialogue & a clever back story to the connection between Howard Stark (Tony's Dad) & the Vanko family whose names was disgraced hence the vengeance of disgruntled son, Ivan. I really didn't like the scene where Tony Stark hosts a party in the Iron Man suit. Really drunk, really forced & just plain lame. If that was the best way to get James Rhodes (Don Cheadle) upset enough to don one of Tony's extra Iron Man suits, maybe the writers should grabbed strong coffee & donuts & extended the writing session.
At the end of the day, don't try to overthink 'Iron Man 2." People should remember it's not Oscar Season, it's Blockbuster Season. Grab a popcorn doused in butter & blast off with Tony Stark. I did & it was awhile before I came down to earth. Can't wait to see it again.

A dry winter has dropped chunks of Texas, including large metro areas such as Houston and Fort Worth, back into severe forms of drought, raising concerns for wildfires and the health of tree farms.
State Climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon says September and November are on track to be the driest since 1950 and in the top five driest on record.
He says the state never fully recovered from the historic dry spell in 2011, and the lack of rainfall this winter raises more concern.
The latest news from around North Texas.
The U.S. Drought Monitor's latest map, released Thursday, shows nearly 55 percent of Texas in severe drought, up from just over 40 percent last week.
About 24.5 percent of the state, including Houston and Fort Worth, are now in extreme drought, up from 23 percent last week.

Nautical Archaeologists have recently discovered a Roman era shipwreck off of the coast of Albania. The wreck, which dates to the 1st century BCE was filled with amphorae used to store wine. Archaeologists believe that merchants were transporting the wine from Albania's vineyards to be sold throughout the Mediterranean.
In spite of its age and relatively shallow depth (50 m below sea level), the wreck is remarkably well preserved and nearly all of the vessel seem to be in tact. Both American and Albanian archaeologists will work together to excavate the findings and are excited about the potential for insight it provides about this period in Roman history.
To read more about the wreck and its findings, see this article on MSNBC.

Schroders Quickview: French activity rebounds to lift eurozone GDP growth
In a bumper day of data, eurozone quarterly growth is estimated to have doubled to 0.6% in the first quarter compared the end of 2015, beating consensus expectations of 0.4% growth.
This is the first Eurostat "flash" GDP release, published earlier than normal (30 days after the end of the quarter). As a result little detail is available at this stage. The usual 45-day release will still be published with the normal breakdown of contributions from member states.
France leads rebound
However, what we do know is that French GDP rebounded in the first quarter to 0.5% growth from 0.3% in the fourth quarter of 2015, against consensus expectations of a smaller bounce of 0.4%.
We had expected this upturn as activity had appeared to slow in reaction to the Paris terrorist attacks last year. Indeed, the main pickup in the latest data was due to an acceleration in consumption and business investment growth.
It also means that if confidence has now recovered from the events of last year, we should see growth moderate over the rest of this year, rather than this pace of growth being maintained.
France still has significant structural issues which are unlikely to be resolved before the presidential elections next year.
Spain and Austria surprise on the upside
Spain also surprised to the upside by growing 0.8% for the third consecutive quarter, despite a marked slowdown in manufacturing output over January and February.
This bodes well for the rest of the year, although we do expect the annual growth rate to temper from its current rate of 3.4% to around 3% on the back of continued political uncertainty.
Otherwise, Austria also did better than expected as growth accelerated from 0.2% to 0.6% over the same period – its fastest quarterly growth rate since the start of 2015.
German GDP has not been reported yet, but early indicators show a significant pickup in industrial production and retail sales, which should help Germany achieve an acceleration in its GDP when the data is published in a couple of weeks time.
Illusive inflation
While eurozone growth appears to be on the right track, the same cannot be said for inflation, which slipped to -0.2% year-on-year in April, disappointing consensus expectations.
Energy continues to be the biggest drag on the headline rate, although the core rate of inflation (excluding food, energy, alcohol and tobacco) also fell from 1% in March to 0.8% in April.
The early Easter holiday would have caused inflation to be a little stronger than normal in March and then weaker in April, but the overall picture is still poor, with inflation in some member states deeply negative (Spain -1.2%).
The recent strength of the euro, despite stimulus measures from the European Central Bank (ECB), has undoubtedly played a role in keeping inflation subdued.
We continue to expect the ECB to cut interest rates further as inflation and the euro fail to respond to the ECB's actions.
Falling unemployment
Lastly, Eurostat also reported a fall in eurozone unemployment – down to 10.2% in March compared to 10.4% in February and 11.2% in March 2015.
The ongoing falls in unemployment suggest GDP has been growing above its potential or trend rate. Over time, this should remove most of the excess capacity in the labour market and eventually push wages and inflation higher.
However, it could take another two years before we consider inflation as being back to normal – a luxury the ECB may not be able to afford given its legal mandate.
It is worth noting that falls in unemployment rates were widespread across the eurozone, suggesting that the macroeconomic recovery is broadening out.
Overall, this was a good set of data for the monetary union. Despite weaker business survey readings over the first quarter, underlying growth has proven to be more resilient.
Inflation continues to disappoint though and we remain of the view that the ECB will add further stimulus. Even if the authorities decide against this course of action, we are confident that inflation will recover in time given it is a lagging indicator.

Geneva meeting of Azerbaijani, Armenian presidents is 'a positive step', says U.S. envoy
The Geneva meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents is a positive step, U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan Robert Cekuta, who is on a visit to Guba district, told reporters on Tuesday.
"But it was a step. More needs to be done," Cekuta stressed.
He said the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs are working to organize a meeting of the foreign ministers of the two countries.
"Work is underway to keep the process moving ahead and realize a peaceful settlement of this conflict which has been going on for too long," added the U.S. ambassador.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict entered its modern phase when the Armenian SRR made territorial claims against the Azerbaijani SSR in 1988.
A fierce war broke out between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan. As a result of the war, Armenian armed forces occupied some 20 percent of Azerbaijani territory which includes Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent districts (Lachin, Kalbajar, Aghdam, Fuzuli, Jabrayil, Gubadli and Zangilan), and over a million Azerbaijanis became refugees and internally displaced people.
The military operations finally came to an end when Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in Bishkek in 1994.
Dealing with the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is the OSCE Minsk Group, which was created after the meeting of the CSCE (OSCE after the Budapest summit held in December 1994) Ministerial Council in Helsinki on 24 March 1992. The Group's members include Azerbaijan, Armenia, Russia, the United States, France, Italy, Germany, Turkey, Belarus, Finland and Sweden.
Besides, the OSCE Minsk Group has a co-chairmanship institution, comprised of Russian, the US and French co-chairs, which began operating in 1996.
Resolutions 822, 853, 874 and 884 of the UN Security Council, which were passed in short intervals in 1993, and other resolutions adopted by the UN General Assembly, PACE, OSCE, OIC, and other organizations require Armenia to unconditionally withdraw its troops from Nagorno-Karabakh.

After the really really enjoyable first episode of the Zacuto SCCE they have finally released the second of three episodes. Once again I cannot stress enough that if you're a camera person you really shouldn't miss the chance to see this beautifully edited piece of well done camera comparison!
It is not only revealing to see how digital cinema (and analog film for that matter) cameras compare, and to hear industry professionals speak about their observations, but also a great great opportunity to learn about very imporant aspects of cinematpgraphy like signal to noise ratio, resolution, compression that is very elegantly explained in these tests.
Episode 2, "Sensors & Sensitivity" of the three part series continues with tests covering sensitivity, resolution, compression and the relationship between them.
It is striking to see how bad DSLRs performed in this par of the comparison. While they had some good performance in the dynamic range part of the last episode, this time around they fail hard and show their weaknesses.
Not only does moire go crazy as we all very well know, but most importantly the images are literally destroyed at times by the line skipping characteristics of the current HDSLR sensors and their unhealthy compression pipeline.
Here's a list of all the cameras that were compared:
– Arri Alexa
– Sony F-35
– Sony F3
– Canon 5D Mark II
– Canon 7D
– Canon 1D Mark IV
– Nikon D7000
– Weisscam HS-2
– Phantom Flex
– Panasonic AG-AF100
– 35mm Kodak 5213 and 5219 film
Here are some quotes I felt were important:
"(…) shocking in a way to see how the stills cameras don't work at all (…)"
"(…) wow, I thought the Canon would be more on than that (…)"
"(…) this isn't a test that advocates for one camera over another (…) you might have one camera that works really well for one situation and another camera might not (…)"
"(…) as the budget changes we've had to (…) use the Canon's cause we had to (…) seeing, especially the AF100 (…) and how it compared to the F3 and how they compare to the bigger cameras, that was the biggest surprise (…) a new option that we could do (…) that's bringing the quality back up."
There's one more episode coming out in August. Stay tuned!

Well isn't this something, a DSLR workshop in Vienna (among other cities), the hometwon of cinema5D.
After we won the Oscar in 2008 the Austrian film scene is finally picking up the drive (we're a little slow).
Filmmakers around the world have mentioned the Great Camera Shootout 2011, hosted by Zacuto many times this year, and while some people got the chance to see the resulting footage in full resolution in a theatre the rest of us has been waiting for Zacuto to publish it on the web.
And finally, the first episode is here and I cannot stress enough that if you're a camera person you really shouldn't miss the chance to see this beautifully edited piece of well done camera comparison!
Not only is it a very scientific and accurate comparison of the current most important large sensor cinema cameras (DSLRs among them), but it also has comments by many DOPs with different backgrounds nicely woven into it to give you a great scope of observations and opinions.
This first episode is all about Dynamic Range. The second and third episodes will be published in July and August of this year.
The first screengrab on the left shows the people involved in the project. Professional DOP Robert Primes, ASC, designed and administered the full series of tests.
Here's a list of all the cameras that were compared:
– Arri Alexa
– Sony F-35
– Sony F3
– Canon 5D Mark II
– Canon 7D
– Canon 1D Mark IV
– Nikon D7000
– Weisscam HS-2
– Phantom Flex
– Panasonic AG-AF100
– 35mm Kodak 5213 and 5219 film
It is very interesting to see how well the DSLRs performed with measured 11,2 stops of exposure latitude and to see the differences and similarities of the Canon DSLRs to other large sensor cinema cameras. I think it's great to get a feel of what the different cameras will do for you and where they're missing out.
The highly anticipated Sony NEX-FS100 was not part of the test, but it's brother that shares exactly the same sensor, the F3 showed some very strong lowlight capabilities.
In the next episodes the cameras will face an analysis in regard to it's sharpness, color quality, flesh tone reproduction, compression losses and shutter artifacts.

I'm eager to hear what you guys think about the test, please share in the comments. Personally I must send a lot of respect to the people involved. Thanks for this great and enriching watch!

Get Control of Your Finances – Steps You Can Take Today
Your finances determine many important things in your life such as where you live, how you live, and what you're able to do. So, it is very important that you get control of your finances. Here are some steps you can take today to start taking back control of your money and get on the path to creating wealth.
Start Tracking Your Spending
The first step you need to take when taking control of your money is find out how you're managing your finances right now. Where does your money come from and where does it go? You may be surprised to learn that how you think it's being spent is often different than how it is actually spent.
To find out where your money is going, begin tracking it right now. Your tracking system can be as simple as a notebook page with columns, or you may want to set up a software program to help. Then write down all the money you spend as soon as you spend it. Don't let guilt keep you from making entries. This step is meant to help you find out the truth about where your money goes, not judge your spending.
Set Up A Budget
If you don't think you can follow a budget, think of it as a spending plan instead. To get your finances on track and start saving, you will need to spend less than you make. Write down where your money is coming from and on what dates you are paid. Then figure out how much of that money is spent on bills and other necessities. Write down how you will spend the remainder.
This is where you may realise you need to cut out some expenses so you can stay within your budget. Remember to plan ahead and put money aside for large purchases. Your needs will likely change every few months, so review your budget or spending plan regularly.
Start Saving
The wealthy save a portion of their income so they can invest it and watch it grow. However, most of us aren't accustomed to saving. We spend our money as quickly as we get it. To begin saving money today, contact your bank about arranging a regular automatic transfer from your account. Saving 10% of each paycheck is a good goal to strive for. While you're getting used to the idea of saving, you may want to start out by saving 5% of each paycheck and build your way up.
Put Away Your Credit Cards
If you have your credit cards with you when you go shopping, you will probably use them. Eliminate your credit cards as an option by putting them away or even hiding them. If you remove them as a temptation, you will force yourself to live within your means by spending only the money in your bank account.
Ask your credit card companies for lower fees. Pick up the telephone and ask your credit card companies if they can work out a lower rate for your credit cards. Usually they will try to help you because it hurts both you and the credit card company if your debt goes to collectors. A lower rate means it will cost you less to carry the balance while you pay it off.
Consolidate Your Debts
If you have a loan or a number of credit cards the quickest way to save money is to consolidate these debts in to a single loan. You will relieve the pressure and the worry of meeting multiple monthly re-payments by consolidating all your debts. Get a low rate loan and pay off all your other debts with it. You will now have just one re-payment to make and the interest rate will be much better than multiple debts across numerous suppliers.
You can gain a lot more control over every aspect of your life once you control your finances. By following the above steps, you will be on the way to getting that control.
Apply for your Quick Loan by completing the quick and easy application on the right, it's a quick application with no obligation.
