A game that involves the player stalking victims and then raping them in a virtual world is being offered for sale by online retailer Amazon.com, the Belfast Telegraph reveals.
Feb. 12, 2009, Belfast Telegraph: A game that involves the player stalking victims and then raping them in a virtual world is being offered for sale by online retailer Amazon.com, the Belfast Telegraph's website reveals.
The shocking 'rape simulator', Rapelay, is set in Japan and carries a sickening game description on the Amazon website. An MP said last night that he plans to raise the issue in Parliament.
Reviews by gaming websites have expressed horror at the basis for the game. One website review describes "tears glistening in the young girl's eyes" as she is attacked in graphic detail.
Players begin the game by stalking a mother on a subway station before violently raping her. They then move on to attack her two daughters described as virgin schoolgirls.
Players are also allowed to enter 'freeform mode' where they can rape any woman and get other male game characters to join the attacks.
Pregnancy and abortion are listed as 'key features'. One review said: "If she does become pregnant you're supposed to force her to get an abortion, otherwise she gets more and more visibly pregnant each time you have sex.
"If you allow the child to be born then the woman will throw you in front of a train!"
Most of the descriptions and screenshots of the game are too graphic for publication here.
The game's producer, Illusion is a company from Japan famous for making similar 3D Hentai games.
The online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, says: "Due to Illusion's policy, its games are not intended to be sold or used outside of Japan, and official support is only given in Japanese and for use in Japan."
Despite this policy consumers, including those in the UK and Ireland, are now able to buy the game through the Amazon website.
Last night Labour MP Keith Vaz said he was shocked that Amazon are allowing people to purchase such a game and plans to raise the issue in Parliament after being contacted by the Belfast Telegraph website.
Mr Vaz said: "It is intolerable that anyone would purchase a game that simulates the criminal offence of rape.
"To know that this widely available through a major online retailer is utterly shocking, I do not see how this can be allowed.
"I will be raising this matter in Parliament and hope that action is taken to prevent the game from being sold."
Last year the MP for Leicester East was criticised for claiming such games exist.
Mr Vaz was speaking in support of of Conservative MP Julian Brazier's Private Member's Bill – which sought to introduce an official governmental body that can challenge rulings by the British Board of Film Classifications (BBFC).
Vaz stated: "People who are watching a film at the cinema cannot participate in what is happening on the screen, or if they do they are removed from the cinema.
"However...when people play these things, they can interact. They can shoot people; they can kill people. As the honourable Gentleman said, they can rape women."
Vaz's claims were questioned by Tory MP for Wantage Edward Vaizey.
He told Parliament: "...the right honourable Member for Leicester East (Keith Vaz), who chairs the Home Affairs Committee, mentioned that some video games allow the participant to engage in a rape act...
"I checked the point with the BBFC and found it to be completely unaware of any such video game.
"Is the honourable Gentleman aware of any video game that has as its intention the carrying out of rape or that allows the game player to carry out such an act? The BBFC and I are unaware of any such game."
At the time hundreds of gaming blogs slated Vaz for his comments. One blog poster said: "This guy has no idea what he's talking about he's more likey to of never even played a game in his life just plain stupid if you ask me."
Only one comment appears on the Amazon website. The user says: "1.0 out of 5 stars. The fact that this exists as a game makes me sad. I am saddened and appalled by the mere idea of this game. is this for real?"
Last year the Belfast Telegraph revealed that Amazon had listed a Barack Obama mask as terrorist costume. The online retailer said the offensive category was put there by someone using its "tag" feature and had removed it immediately.
After being contacted by the Belfast Telegraph, Amazon today removed the web page (still viewable from Google's cache). The company would not comment on the item or say why it had been offered for sale through their website.
Rapelay Japanese PC game, by Illusion
Game description on Amazon: Rapelay is an offshoot of the Illusion series, Interact Play. You, like in previous installments, play as a public nuisance that gets away from captivity and starts scouting for new targets. This time around you find a family of a single mother and her two daughters. You quickly begin your hunt and capture each woman one by one. The gameplay involves an amusing training/disposition system with which to break each respective target to your liking....

That's just sick.. Even if it's only sale in Japan.. The publisher of this game should put into jail... It's a lot better if we just play casual games like in this Download Games website

Wednesday 31 November 2010: THREE POWERFUL CALS
Repeat the following circuit for twenty minutes.
Advanced - Intermediate:
- Dive Bomber or Hindu Push-ups
- Reverse or Hindu Squats
- Atlas Push-ups
Atlas Push-ups: Place your hands in the seats of two chairs. With your body held straight, dip yourself between the chairs. This exercise is similar to a countertop push-up, but it stretches and utilizes more of the chest muscles.
- Yoga Push-ups
Yoga Push-ups: Transition between Upward Facing Dog and Downward Facing Dog continously while keeping your arms straight (but not locked).
- Countertop or Atlas Push-ups
Post results to Comments.
Today's exercises can be found in many manuals on physical training. The above arrangement, however, was adapted from Pushing Yourself to Power by John E. Peterson. PYTP is a comprehensive collection of Dynamic Visualized Resistance and Dynamic Self Resistance exercises and includes many Isometric and Power Calisthenic exercises.

Freak, and this goes to everyone of course. We have a pretty full roster already, so I'll allow, MAYBE two more people tops after you my friend. After that, this gets closed unless we need more people of course. More ACTIVE people that actually try to keep up. "Looks at Biles, Laughing Hyena, Sazzie, Zaer, and icandor."

I wanted to give a brief non-technical explanation of why we participated in the Internet blackout in protest of SOPA & PIPA. To start, here is a great TED talk:
Under current law (DMCA), you & I are allowed to incorporate existing content into our own works so long as it falls within "fair use". Fair use means you can use short clips from movies, short music clips from other artists, quotes from other written works, etc. without it being copyright infringement. SOPA & PIPA eliminate fair use.
Further to that, the proposed laws also make linking to web sites that contain copyright infringement (under the new definition) illegal (on the grounds of aiding and abetting copyright infringement). What that means in practical terms if SOPA & PIPA pass into law is that most existing blogs both foreign and domestic would fall into the definition of a copyright infringing website and/or intellectual property theft.
A person who has a site offering free yoga videos and instruction is technically taking revenue away from the traditional entertainment and broadcasting industry. However, most like the person running that site is making money from advertising and/or creating a customer base for one on one consultation. From an economic standpoint, the site may be eliminating a job at News Corp or one of the other media conglomerates but it is not costing the economy a job.
The media conglomerates cannot get legislators to shutdown the distribution infrastructure (the Internet), so they drafted legislation that targets the content producers (ie. you & I). If you have not already done so, I encourage you to contact your representatives to let them know that you do not want the Internet to be censored.

State of benefits threatens Obama's big vision: Our view
Entitlements suffocate investments nation needs to make in the future.
President Obama is thinking big thoughts. Climate change, gun control, immigration reform, energy independence and investing in a "rising, thriving middle class" were among the issues he touched on during Tuesday night's State of the Union Address.
Never mind that many of his big thoughts will face long odds in a divided and small-minded Congress. Stung by Republicans' refusal to meet him halfway on most issues, but also emboldened by his re-election, Obama is playing a long game. His goal is to sell a vision of what he stands for, and how he would like to govern, rather than of what he expects to enact in the near term.
In many ways, his list is appealing and audacious. Climate change is arguably the biggest long-term threat the world faces, yet has been so politically toxic that Obama barely mentioned it until his inaugural last month. Gun violence is a blight on America. Immigration reform is a mainstream idea, championed equally by Obama and former president George W. Bush, that was hijacked by hard-liners.
But if those problems are to be solved, the most important element of his speech might have been a challenge to his fellow Democrats: "Those of us who care deeply about programs like Medicare must embrace the need for modest reforms — otherwise, our retirement programs will crowd out the investments we need for our children and jeopardize the promise of a secure retirement for future generations."
Obama has hardly been a champion of either deficit reduction or entitlement reforms. And his party has increasingly begun to dig in its heels on these matters. So for him to embrace the cause of reforming Medicare — even timidly through means-testing and having the government pay for health care results, not costs incurred — is encouraging, if insufficient.
Reforms to entitlements should be part of any discussion of public policy. But they particularly need to be part of the discussion in liberal circles. These programs were created largely by Democrats, something they can take pride in. But as they get bigger and costlier, they are suffocating the progressive agenda.
This is most apparent in financial terms. The Office of Management and Budget projects that entitlements will cost a staggering $10 trillion over the next five years and will account for more than 60 cents of every dollar government spends. As these programs grow faster than tax receipts, their capacity to crowd out investments will only grow.
But the smothering impact of entitlements also has a philosophical dimension. An ideology that purports to be about initiating positive change has become — through its absolutist defense of entitlements — a defender of the status quo. What's more, that status quo is hardly one that would live up to the egalitarian ideals espoused by progressives. Medicare, for instance, borrows heavily from today's young and middle-age workers, many of whom struggle to make ends meet and lack health insurance, to subsidize health care for seniors, many of whom could afford to pay considerably more.
Obama is the right person to bring this message to liberals, who've begun acting as if deficits are under control. Restraining the runaway spending on entitlements is not only important to fiscal conservatives, economists and bond holders. It is essential if the USA is to claim the future that the president described Tuesday night.

Confessed Sioux Falls Killer Wants Statements Thrown Out
The man accused of killing an elderly Sioux Falls woman in her bed is fighting to keep statements he mad following his arrest from the jury.
James McVay, 43, pled guilty but mentally ill to muder in the 2011 stabbing death of 75-year-old Maybelle Schein. McVay told authorities, as well as a television reporter, that he killed Schein and stole her car as part of an elaborate plan to kill President Barack Obama.
A November 2011 article in the Argus Leader explained more:
After his arrest last summer, McVay told TV reporters in Wisconsin that he broke into Schein's home and killed her as a plot to kill Obama. McVay also said that during his last two months in prison, spent in disciplinary segregation in Sioux Falls, he had been hallucinating and plotting to kill his way to Washington.
McVay's attorney is arguing that the statements should not be shown to the jury because his client was suffering from psychosis brought on by drug use. The prosecutor argues the statements were voluntary.
More importantly, in the statements McVay denied that his drug-induced psychosis was the cause of the crime.
In addition to talking about killing President Obama, McVay talked about being ready to kill anyone who caught him shoplifting at a Sioux Falls Walmart, wanting to kill a man at a Target store for his Corvette and his intention to kill a police officer.

Chemistry & Mineralogy X-Ray Diffraction (CheMin)
Chemistry & Mineralogy X-Ray Diffraction Instrument
Designed to be about the size of a laptop computer inside a carrying case, the Chemistry and Mineralogy Instrument identifies and measures the abundances of minerals on Mars.

The Chemistry and Mineralogy instrument, or CheMin for short, identifies and measures the abundances of various minerals on Mars. Examples of minerals found on Mars so far are olivine, pyroxenes, hematite, goethite, and magnetite.
Minerals are indicative of environmental conditions that existed when they formed. For example, olivine and pyroxene, two primary minerals in basalt, form when lava solidifies. Jarosite, found in sedimentary rocks by NASA's Opportunity rover on Mars, precipitates out of water.
Using CheMin, scientists are able to study further the role that water, an essential ingredient for life as we know it, played in forming minerals on Mars. For example, gypsum is a mineral that contains calcium, sulfur, and water. Anhydrite is a calcium and sulfur mineral with no water in its crystal structure. CheMin is able to distinguish the two. Different minerals are linked to certain kinds of environments. Scientists use CheMin to search for mineral clues indicative of a past Martian environment that might have supported life.
To prepare rock samples for analysis, the rover is able to drill into rocks, collect the resulting fine powder, sieve it, and deliver it to a sample holder. It uses a scoop for collecting soil.
CheMin then directs a beam of X-rays as fine as a human hair through the powdered material. X-rays, like visible light, are a form of electromagnetic radiation. They have a much shorter wavelength that cannot be seen with the naked eye. When the X-ray beam interacts with the rock or soil sample, some of the X-rays will be absorbed by atoms in the sample and re-emitted or fluoresced at energies that are characteristic of the particular atoms present.
In X-ray diffraction, some X-rays bounce away at the same angle from the internal crystal structure in the sample. When this happens, they mutually reinforce each other and produce a distinctive signal. Scientists can measure the angle at which X-rays are diffracted toward the detector and use that to identify minerals. For example, if the mineral halite (common table salt, or NaCl), were placed in CheMin, the instrument would produce a specific diffraction pattern that would identify the structure of halite.
Because all minerals diffract X-rays in a chacteristic pattern and all elements emit X-rays with a unique set of energy levels, scientists use the information from X-ray diffraction to identify the crystalline structure of materials the rover encounters on Mars. A Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) collects both diffraction and fluorescence information.

Say 'Ahh' on Mars
This image from NASA's Curiosity rover shows the open inlet where powdered rock and soil samples are funneled down for analysis. The Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) was about 8 inches (20 centimeters) away from the mouth of the Chemistry and Mineralogy (CheMin) instrument when it took the picture.

Mr. Poligrip smiles a little.
Dr. Grumpy: "Smile wider. Can you show me your teeth?"
Mr. Poligrip takes out his teeth and holds them up.
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
I once counseled a man in his 40s on the use of inhaled corticosteroids and to remember to rinse his mouth out after. I suggested he use the inhaler before brushing his teeth. He worriedly replied, "but I don't have any teeth!"
You won't ask again to see someone's teeth without thinking of this guy.
That's AWESOME. I always it when patients do something unexpected.
But you didn't say Simon says ;)
Pharm. Tech. RDC'06

Good thing you didn't ask him about his prostate health.
Well, what do you expect when all of your patients are older than dirt?
Geez, kids today...
Point for compliance. Minus point for not getting what Dr. wanted . . .
Where's the "like" button???
You gotta admit, he did what you had asked him to do. Too funny.
So your patients tire of performing tricks for you, what is the big deal.
Ok, seriously...how do you NOT laugh when things like this happen to you? And they seem to happen...A LOT.
In the meantime, Mr Poligrip is thinking
..."what the heck does he want to do with my teeth??? I'm here for my brain..."
eye teeth are connected to the...
Interesting, WhiteCoat tweeted the exact same thing on May 3rd.
haha!!! thats priceless!!!
Sorta like the "touch your nose and stick out your tongue routine".
Bahahaha which cranial nerve is that?

Nadler to speak at May commencement ceremony
Dr. Sylvia Nadler, a 1971 graduate of Wayland Baptist University, will serve as commencement speaker for the ceremony scheduled for May 18 at 2 p.m. in Harral Auditorium. About 150 students will be receiving diplomas during the event.
Nadler is chair of the physical education department at William Jewell College in Liberty, Mo. She also serves on the athletics management team as the gender equity compliance officer and is director of the Leadership Studies Program.
After graduating from Wayland, Nadler joined the Wayland physical education faculty. She earned a master's degree from West Texas State University in 1974 and a doctorate from East Texas State University in 1980. She served as chair of the Health, Physical Education and Recreation Division from 1978-90 and was Director of Athletics from 1983-90. During her tenure as athletic director, Wayland teams won seven NAIA national championships, the men's and women's teams won the NAIA-SIDA All-Sports Competition, and WBU athletes earned more than 350 All-American honors.
She served as president of the NAIA Athletic Directors Association and was the NAIA National Athletics Administrator of the Year in 1987. She was also on the Executive Committee of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics for three years.
Nadler joined the William Jewell faculty in 1990, chairing the physical education department. She was asked to direct the Leadership Studies Program, a program that has evolved from an eight-hour certificate program with 14 students to successful certificate and degree program involving about 150 students per year and boasting an endowment of $2.5 million. She is currently involved in a $25 million fundraising campaign to create endowed chairs for the leadership development program and to build a center to serve the campus and community. Nadler has spoken nationally and internationally about the leadership program, which features courses that require students to develop a "leadership legacy" project that gives back to the community. Students have raised money and built a Habitat for Humanity home, conducted a race to raise funds to free Sudanese slaves, held a weekend leadership conference for middle-school students, developed a learning resource center for disadvantaged children and raised $375,000 to build an outdoor Leadership Lab on campus.
In her free time, Nadler volunteers for Project Kaleidoscope, a national organization that builds and sustains reform in undergraduate science education. She has directed several leadership institutes for the organization over the years and has presented at several meetings

Hawaii District 02 2016 Race
Business / Labor / Ideological Split In Political Action Committees Contributions
From this chart, you can get a flavor of how business, labor and ideological interests are funding candidates running for Congress in your district. Does it match your priorities and local economy, or are they more Washington-based?
Fundraising Totals
|Tulsi Gabbard (D)
We do not have PAC category data for the following candidates:
- Richard L Turner (3)
- Angela Aulani Kaaihue (R)
HOW TO READ THIS CHART: Most members of Congress get the bulk of their campaign contributions from two main sources: the industries that make up the economic base of their home district and the Washington-based interest groups that pay more attention to the member's committee assignments in Congress. In addition, most Democrats receive substantial sums from labor unions.
NOTE: All the numbers on this page are for the 2015-2016 House election cycle and based on Federal Election Commission data available electronically on November 27, 2017.

If the local music scene had its Jon Taffer, the outspoken host of Spike TV's show Bar Rescue, it might be Shane Culpeper, a studio owner/producer/promoter who also has a soft spot for misdirected venues that are losing business.
When they listen, Culpeper says, things work out. When they don't, they fold.
First, some background. Culpeper was a '99 grad of an Escondido continuation school. ("I shared a locker with someone who brought something bad to school. I shared the blame.") He was heavily into poetry and hip-hop. ("I started when I was 15.") Beginning in his senior year, Culpeper hosted house parties. He then started his label own L.I.E. (Learning Is Endless). "In 2001, I met my first producer. Then I signed Mario McCurley from Tacoma. Then D. Dove, who is one of the most prominent MCs in San Diego." He benefited early on from the availability of a recording studio at the YMCA in Escondido.
The L.I.E. empire grew. "We did recording, promoting, tours, graphic design, websites, silk-screening." He recorded and booked tours for local artists Social Green and Ric Scales.
"Then I started throwing shows and hosting touring acts at the Metaphor. They did primarily hip-hop and funk from 2005 to 2007." Culpeper says he was happy to help the struggling coffeehouse for no money and brought them packed shows. "They were crazy-bananas busy. People would see me as the face of these shows but [the Metaphor] wouldn't let me use my [L.I.E.] logo on the posters. They said they were afraid people would think it was my bar. So I walked away, respectfully.
"Then I was approached in 2008 by the Ups and Downs roller rink in Escondido. It was the last roller rink in North County. We threw a hip-hop show that had a car show outside, 20-by-26-foot murals that were painted live inside. It was amazing. There was no booze, and it had a huge turnout. There were no fights and no police drama, even though 500 people were there."
Then, in 2011, Culpeper says the Metaphor came back around. "I saw the place was falling apart. I brought in a team of ten. We scrubbed the floors, painted the walls, took the kitchen apart. They were psyched. They wanted to continue talking. I said give me 6 a.m. to noon. We started doing breakfasts and we brought in nurses and doctors [from nearby Palomar Hospital]." The live shows flourished. "We had painters doing live painting every day. We brought them from being in debt with the landlord to back to zero. I got employees to volunteer to work for free until the rent was zeroed."
Once that happened, Culpeper says he was prepared to bring in a quality sound system but that he wanted some consideration for packed shows he booked and promoted.
"There were too many chiefs. They wouldn't work with us, so we walked." Culpeper's devoted-to-the-cause employees walked as well.
"They couldn't do breakfasts anymore...they just wanted to do punk and metal. We thought the Metaphor should have more than that."
The Metaphor closed last year.
Culpeper says he and his partner Erik Lumaye currently own and operate L.I.E., which includes a 1200-square-foot warehouse in San Marcos where they produce videos and silk-screen shirts. Their 27-foot RV and tour bus have been on at least five tours of the West Coast and Southwest featuring local artists.
"One day we will have a venue. We're always looking."

Blame it on the down economy, poor service or a life change. Whatever the reason, most health clubs lose at least 20 percent to 40 percent of their members each year. The good news is that many former members are ready to come back if you just ask them.
At my club, ACAC Fitness and Wellness Centers, referrals from existing members are our top source for new membership sales, but former members who rejoin are a strong second. Many companies do not take any special steps to recapture lost members, but ignoring these individuals constitutes a massive missed opportunity.
By taking the following steps, you may be able to win back lost members:
Listen carefully. The first step is to understand what went wrong. A membership cancellation certainly can be a referendum on a member's club experience, but often, it simply is a change in circumstances. Put systems in place to track the reasons for cancellation requests and administer a simple exit interview. The data you collect will provide valuable feedback on your club's operations and service, and it will help you generate potential leads for the future.
Create a short form that the membership representative can fill out quickly on behalf of the exiting member. Document the member's reason for cancelling, including: relocation less than 25 miles, relocation greater than 25 miles, medical issues, too expensive, using another club, do not have time, club does not have what I want, personal financial reasons, dissatisfied with service, corporate cancellation and other. Understanding what percentage of your club's attrition is "controllable" is a great way to take the emotional temperature of your membership base.
Keep the survey brief and allow for open-ended responses. For example, you may want to ask only two questions: On a scale of one to 10, how did we meet your needs? What could we have done to bring that score to a 10?
During the exit interview, you may uncover issues that you can resolve. For example, if a member is leaving because he or she has not been using the club, you could offer a free one-month extension or a refresher training session to convince the member to get back in the game.
Eliminate any hassles. Historically, one of the biggest consumer complaints about health clubs has been that the cancellation process is cumbersome at best and deceitful at worst. Common courtesy and ethical business practices should dictate straightforward, transparent cancellation policies and procedures. Club professionals who understand that a cancelled membership is not necessarily the end of the relationship will go to great lengths to ensure that the process is as smooth and pleasant as possible so that the member's last memory of the club is a good one.
Regardless of members' reasons for quitting the club, send a handwritten note within a few days of their cancellation to thank them for the opportunity to have served them. Express your hope to be their fitness and wellness provider again one day.
Win them back. If you have been diligent about recording cancellation data, then you have built a strong lead list. Stay in contact with former members who are good prospects in a way that provides value. Most people appreciate content that is educational, newsworthy or otherwise specific to their needs. Be sure that any gift or deal you offer is truly special. Cross reference your cancellation data with attendance and spending data to better predict what messages and offers will be effective. Though your club may decide to have standing discounts or perks for returning members, running special campaigns once or twice a year can be a powerful way to mobilize and incentivize those individuals to rejoin.
Pay special attention to new members. People new to exercise typically have a higher attrition rate because they may not have reached the phase where they are ready to make an ongoing commitment to regular exercise. If you nurture them through the peaks and valleys of lifestyle change, your club ultimately will win those members' loyalty. And even if they are never ready to fully commit, you can be sure that they will be singing your club's praises.

How it all began
Promising ideas are the driving force behind social development. They provide motivation and guidance, and tap undreamed-of potential. The beginnings of Arvato can be traced back to one such visionary idea: a consistent focus on how a company can benefit its customers!
The history of Arvato began over 175 years ago, when Carl Bertelsmann opened a lithographic printing shop in the East Westphalian town of Gütersloh. This was the first step in the development of a corporate division that today accounts for more Bertelsmann employees than any other. The business began by printing and shipping books and other printed materials for Bertelsmann's publishing companies, then expanded to provide services for external customers. This marked the birth of Arvato, which subsequently grew larger, became involved in new industries, developed innovative products and expanded into other countries and continents − until it became what it is today: a unique international joint service provider that occupies a leading position in numerous market segments and employs over 66,400 people worldwide.
One of the biggest transactions in corporate history: Arvato acquired major parts of the Netrada group, a leading e-commerce and logistics provider for the fashion industry. In doing so, Arvato further strengthened its e-commerce growth platform. Through the merger, one of Europe's leading providers of integrated e-commerce services was born.
As Gothia and Arvato Infoscore joined forces, Arvato moved up the ladder to rank third in Europe in the fast-growing market for financial services. This new Arvato unit, Arvato Financial Solutions, will drive forward the internationalization of the business information and financial services divisions and puts Arvato in the position to offer customers Europe-wide payment management solutions.
Arvato has consolidated its position in China as the leading outsourcing provider in the telecoms industry. The company delivered its 100 millionth cell phone in August, which was made possible through the development of logistics processes and a nationwide distribution network.
Arvato was reorganized under the direction of CEO Rolf Buch. The company's structures were sharpened and simplified, under Arvato's motto "from product to solution." Groups of companies that had served comparable customers and markets in the past were strategically combined into clearly defined units.
A new logistics center was opened in Shenzhen in cooperation with the local mobile services providers Telling Group and Sinomaster Group. The objective: to create a nationwide distribution and transport network for the mobile telephone and high-tech industry. Arvato has been active in the Chinese market since 2001.
Arvato introduced the new multipartner loyalty card DeutschlandCard to the market in early March. In only 18 months, the team created the customer loyalty program with six partner companies and several thousand stores and branches.
With the purchase of Qualytel S.A., Spain's largest independent provider of call center services, Arvato further expanded its international service center network. Seven locations and 6,000 employees were taken over.
Arvato storage media and several units of Arvato services were combined to form the Arvato digital services business unit. Arvato reorganized its storage media business, as international customers in the video, audio, games and IT/technology industries were interested in purchasing more integrated service packages.
arvato's activities in the areas of integrated data, information and accounts receivable management merged with the Infoscore group in Baden Baden. The new joint enterprise was now among the leading financial service providers in Europe.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council in England decided to enter into a public-private partnership with Arvato, with Arvato providing services for the local administration. Under this partnership, Arvato took over some 500 existing employees.
The appointment of Hartmut Ostrowski as chairman and CEO was accompanied by Arvato's reorganization into five business units: Arvato storage media, Arvato print, Arvato direct services, Arvato logistic services and Arvato systems.
Arvato entered the healthcare market under the name Arvato services healthcare. As an internationally active outsourcing partner to the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry, it assumed responsibility for all supply chain, customer relationship and financial processes.
The Druck und Industrie (printing and industry) division was renamed Bertelsmann Arvato. The name reflects the growing importance of the service business for the group as a whole.
Considerable demand for financial services led to further specialization: The business focused on relieving companies of administrative responsibilities, safeguarding liquidity and providing professional risk management, and continues to do so today.
As the new operating system Windows 95 was introduced, global software manufacturer Microsoft decided to launch a cooperative venture with Bertelsmann Marketing Service. The joint project proved successful and became the basis for a long-term service partnership.
The first distribution center in the Polish city of Poznan marked the beginning of the internationalization of Arvato's service business. Today, Arvato Poland ranks number one in the Polish market in the mail order business, multilingual service center support and customer loyalty programs for petroleum companies.
Lufthansa's "Miles & More" was the first customer loyalty program. Customer care and retention services have steadily expanded since that time. New business areas emerged, such as call center services.
In November, the first mobile telephone was rolled out in Versmold (a district of Gütersloh) on behalf of the mobile services division of Mannesmann, later Vodafone. It was the beginning of an impressive success story.
In the printing sector, equity holdings were acquired, new companies were founded and existing businesses were taken over in the United States, Spain, South America and East Germany.
This was the forerunner of what is now known as AZ Direct. It subsequently expanded to include lettershop activities and marketing logistics.
This new company was responsible for shipping the company's own products to bookstores and club branches, but its services were also made available to the external market. In 1960, Olms Verlag became the first external publishing company to delegate responsibility for deliveries to Kommissionshaus Buch und Ton. It was the beginning of a new era: providing services for other companies.
Lesering was created to market books directly to readers. Did you know that Lesering was the first business to offer the services that are now provided by Arvato? It was here that ideas relating to member support, music, address management, technology and logistics were tested and put into practice.
Reinhard Mohn founded a new publishing and printing company after its predecessor had been shut down for two years. In his later years, he created Bertelsmann's unique corporate culture, which still characterizes Arvato today: an emphasis on partnership, trust in the company's employees, a consistent customer focus, and much more.
Eleven years earlier, Carl Bertelsmann (1791–1850) had opened a lithographic printing shop in Gütersloh. The company initially published Christian materials in the Protestant tradition; fiction was added only much later.

Citation: Santin, M., Dargatz, D., Fayer, R. 2012. Prevalence of Giardia duodenalis assemblages in weaned cattle on cow-calf operations in the United States. Veterinary Parasitology. 183:231-236.
Interpretive Summary: This study examined feces from 819 beef calves in 20 states for the presence of the parasite Giardia duodenalis using molecular methods for detection. The prevalence at each of 49 locations examined ranged from 0 (no calves infected) to 100% (all calves infected). The highest prevalence of infection was found in operations in Georgia, Idaho, Nebraska, and Iowa with 100, 90, 87.5, and 85% of the animals infected, respectively. Two genetic types were found, Assemblage E which is known to infect only hooved livestock, and Assemblage which infects many animals and humans. Assemblage E was detected in 31.7% of the calves whereas Assemblage A was detected in 1.2% of calves. Although the presence of Assemblage A in these food animals poses a potential concern for environmental and food safety the prevalence is low and related illness in persons has not been reported.
Technical Abstract: To determine the prevalence of Giardia duodenalis in weaned beef calves in cow-calf operations in the United States, fecal specimens were collected from 819 calves (6 to18 months of age) in 20 states from 49 locations. After cleaning and concentration procedures to maximize the potential recovery of cysts from feces, DNA was extracted from each of the 819 specimens. The presence of G. duodenalis was determined by nested PCR of a fragment of the SSU rRNA gene. All positive PCR products were subjected to sequence analysis. The overall prevalence of Giardia was 33.5 % with prevalence ranging from 0 to 100% among operations. The highest prevalence of infected beef calves was found in cow-calf operations from Georgia, Idaho, Nebraska, and Iowa with 100, 90, 87.5, and 85% of the animals infected, respectively. Giardia was not detected in 7 operations, 2 cow-calf operations each from Louisiana and Oklahoma, and 1 each from Texas, South Dakota, and California. The molecular analysis of the 274 Giardia-positive samples identified Assemblage E in 260 (31.7%) and Assemblage A in 10 (1.2%). In four calves from a farm in Nebraska a mixed infection with Assemblage A and E was observed. The potentially zoonotic assemblage A was detected in specimens from four operations in Nebraska, and one in each in Iowa and Oregon. These findings indicate that most G. duodenalis found in beef cattle was Assemblage E which represents no known zoonotic threat. However, the presence of Assemblage A in a small number of animals poses a poses a potential risk of infection to humans.

A criminal defense attorney representing the family of the alleged Colorado "Dark Knight Rises" shooter said ABC and other media outlets wrongly implied Arlene Holmes identified her son as the gunman.
Arlene Holmes reportedly said early Friday that she wasn't surprised her son James was the man behind the deadly shooting, telling ABC, "You have the right person."
But now, Arlene Holmes is saying her statements were taken out of context, attorney Lisa Damiani said in a Monday afternoon news conference livestreamed by Reuters.
Arlene Holmes said she was asked by the ABC reporter if she was the mother of James Holmes, a man living in Aurora, Colo., to which she said the reporter had the right person.
Her confirmation that she was indeed James Holmes' mother was then taken out of context and used to imply she believed her son was behind the shooting, Damiani said as she read a statement from the family.
"I did not know anything about a shooting in Aurora at that time," Arlene Holmes wrote in her statement.
James Holmes is accused of opening fire on a theater full of movie goers early Friday morning.
Damiani repeatedly dodged questions about James Holmes and his relationship with his family. She also refused to reveal the family's whereabouts.
But when asked if the family supports James Holmes, something they have yet to directly address, Damiani said, "Yes, they do. He's their son."
Damiani also said she was concerned about the family's safety but refused to answer whether family members themselves were concerned.
