Who we did it for:
Cyr Family
Why we did it:
The clients purchased the home in East St. Paul for its charm, location & layout. Whenever anyone moves into a new home they look for ways to bring their own style and personality to the space. The existing ensuite was dated and needed some functional repairs so it only made sense to start from scratch. The new layout included aesthetic changes to the master bedroom so the spaces would flow & complement one another. The goal was to design a spa-like retreat that incorporated a new steam shower, vanity with adequate storage, and a free standing tub.
What we did:
- Established the clients' wants and needs (programming)
- Interior Space Planning, Millwork & Detailing
- Lighting Design
- Finish & Fixture Specifications

This might be the first time you bust out a Ouija board at a party and every single person rushes toward it, fearlessly, with their pitchforks (okay, just regular forks) at the ready. There's something freaky about the thought of communicating with the spirit world via a Hasbro game, even if every time you've mustered the courage to play you quickly realized your friend's not-so-subtly prodding the planchette around the board.
But, when your Ouija board is made entirely out of cake—devil's food cake, naturally—the fear is soon replaced with "OMG, give me a slice now, and make it either the 'good,' 'bye' or 'Ouija' logo, please."
Getting this look really came down to three hacks.
Hack No. 1: Awaken the Dead (Cocoa Beans, That Is).
Because we're suckers for puns on puns on puns, it wasn't enough to make a sheet cake using devil's food cake. We had to boost the cocoa flavor to the point that it'd border on death-by-chocolate territory. You could substitute the water in the cake mix for coffee, which creates a richer, more dark chocolate-esque taste, or do what we did: Use boiling hot water instead of room temperature, adding it before any other ingredients in the cake mix. We let it sit for about 20 to 30 seconds to give the cocoa powder in the cake mix time to bloom, which helps awaken the chocolatey flavor in those pulverized cocoa beans. Then, we added a few hearty scoops of mini chocolate chips, because there's no such thing as too much sugar on All Hallows Eve.
Hack No. 2: Get That Frosting Melting, Melting, Melllllting.
Pourable frosting makes icing a sheet cake easier than ever. Seriously. You just pour it all over the cake and use a butter knife—or offset spatula—to smooth it out, creating the perfect even layer for your ouija board topper. It's just like making a basic buttercream, only runnier, but it will set in a smooth, slightly glossy sheet of frosting.
Hack No. 3: Give Thee A Break.
The Ouija board itself is a bit of a cop-out—or a total blessing to amateur cake decorators and non-DIY types everywhere. Sure, you could stencil and hand-pipe out a Ouija board out of frosting (if you do, more power to you!), but you can save a ton of time—and spare your vocal chords the inevitable curse-ridden screams halfway through said project—if you send an image to your local bakery and have them print it on a sheet of edible frosting or an edible wafer. Many bakeries offer this service for about $10 to $20.
We stuck ours in the freezer for about 3 to 4 minutes before we were ready to frost, just so it'd be firm and easy to peel away from the paper backing. The frosting sheet is pretty delicate, so we've found that gently peeling it off and draping it across a rolling pin is the easiest way to keep the sheet from wrinkling as you transfer it onto the cake. Use your hands to stick it on the frosting while it's still tacky, then lightly smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles. Boom. Done.
Don't Forget This Finishing Touch.
A sugar cookie planchette—that little arrow-shaped thingy used to guide players from letter to letter—isn't necessary, per se, but it's a fun touch. Plus, it's as easy as buying refrigerated sugar cookie dough, mixing in a 1/4 cup of flour, then rolling it out and cutting out triangles with a hole in the center and baking them at 350 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes.
And just like that, you win Halloween. Bow down, witches.

More Milk Price Pain Ahead
Farmers across the country have been operating below the cost of production for quite some time. Unfortunately, the pain is likely to continue, according University of Wisconsin's Bob Cropp. He says Class III milk prices are on their way to levels not seen since the 2009 dairy crisis. Cropp is forecasting the May Class III price to be $12.75/cwt. In 2015 the May Class III price was $16.00/cwt. Cropp says exports aren't currently significant enough to make up for the increasing supplies.

The Serrano Report - Volume XVI, Issue #31
In Washington, DC
Congressman Serrano Introduces Hardest Hit Act with Rep. Clarke and Rep. Meeks to Address Public Housing Crisis
Congressman Serrano, Representatives Yvette D. Clarke (NY-09) and Gregory W. Meeks (NY-05), introduced legislation to provide public housing, foreclosure mitigation, and rental assistance grants through the United States Housing and Urban Development agency (HUD) with supplemental funding for state public housing authorities to ensure Americans have access to affordable housing.
The Hardest Hit Housing Act of 2018 will allocate $4 billion a year in supplemental funding to the Public Housing Capital Fund Grant Program for public housing authorities that own or manage more than 10,000 units. It will also supply foreclosure mitigation and assistance grants to the 15 states with the highest foreclosure rates. Additionally, the bill will authorize rental assistance grants to fund 100,000 incremental housing choice vouchers for housing authorities at a rate of 20,000 units per year over five years.
Earlier this month, President Trump unveiled a budget proposal that guts federal programs that provide low-income families housing stability by eliminating two block grant programs in their entirety. Trump's proposal also cuts the Public Housing Capital Fund, a $2 billion annual fund used to renovate or maintain the condition of public housing units. These proposed cuts would be detrimental to the livelihood of many residents of the Bronx who rely on public housing. This bill would not only help Bronxites and fellow New Yorkers, it would be beneficial to beneficiaries of public housing throughout the country.
"Congress has a responsibility to protect and allocate adequate levels of funding for the government's housing programs to ensure that everyone, regardless of income, can live in safe, affordable housing. The Hardest Hit Housing Act will protect the public housing programs that our communities desperately need from this Administration's reckless attempts to gut our governments' most important social safety net programs. We need to address our nation's housing crisis, and fight back against Donald Trump's efforts to undermine these important programs. This legislation is an important step in doing just that." Said Serrano.
Serrano Meets with Medical Students from the Bronx in Washington, D.C.
This week Congressman Serrano met with medical students from the American Osteopathic Association to discuss the growth in the osteopathic profession and the importance of training the next generation of physicians, the Higher Education Act, and additional ways for the AOA and Congress to work together to improve the nation's health care system.
Serrano Meets with the Boys and Girls Club of America
Congressman Serrano met with the Boys and Girls Club of America to discuss 21stCentury Community Learning Centers and youth mentoring programs. Serrano has been a longtime advocate for adequate funding to 21st Century Community Learning Centers which support after school and summer programs for American youth throughout the country.
Serrano Joins Democratic Colleagues to Introduce Assault Weapons Ban
Last week, Congressman Serrano joined Reps. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), Ted Deutch (D-Fla.), and more than 170 other House Democrats to introduce legislation to ban assault weapons and take dangerous weapons of war off Americans streets. Congressman Serrano is an original co-sponsor of the bill.
Assault weapons have become the weapon of choice for mass shooters. They were used in the recent attacks on the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida and the Route 91 Harvest music festival in Las Vegas, as well as the mass murders at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. and a movie theatre in Aurora, Colorado.
"There is no need for a civilian to own a military grade weapon. We cannot allow mass shootings at our schools and recreational public spaces to become the new normal. In the wake of yet another horrific tragedy, Congress has a moral duty to take action. This bill is a step in the right direction, and I hope that our Republican allies on this issue will join us in supporting this common sense bill to keep our communities and our kids safe." said Congressman Serrano. "In 1994, I was proud to vote in favor of the original assault weapons ban- it made our communities and schools safer. It is long past time to reinstate the ban." Said Congressman Serrano.
Congressman Serrano Slams President Trump's Budget Proposal for FY2019
Congressman Serrano, a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee and Ranking Member of the Commerce, Justice, and Science (CJS) Subcommittee slammed President Trump's budget proposal for FY2019, which would significantly cut funding for a wide range of services that many Bronx residents rely on.
"The Trump Administration released a budget proposal based on the same misguided proposals and empty promises of the past: to "drain the swamp" by cutting spending on key programs while proposing to primarily increase defense spending to unnecessary levels, and to build a wall along the southern border that won't fix our broken immigration system at a cost of $25 billion. These damaging ideas- if enacted into law- will hurt America's competitiveness and its standing in the world.
"As a senior member of the Appropriations Committee, it is very concerning to see this Administration propose further cuts to the government's most important economic and social programs, which are crucial to people from the Bronx. The proposal would cut $263 billion from direct spending social safety net programs, primarily centered around a $214 billion cut to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Last year alone, SNAP helped protect 44 million senior citizens, children and disabled people from hunger and starvation. It would also hurt Social Security by cutting $72 billion from disability programs. For some of these programs, like Medicaid and food stamps, the Administration is proposing new roadblocks on individuals' ability to qualify for and access them in addition to the proposed budget cuts. Millions would also lose access to health care through the budget's attempt to dismantle the Affordable Care Act once again and changes to Medicare payment policies. These cuts and policy changes will only make it harder for the average American, particularly the most vulnerable, to get by. For many of them, being able to access these programs and services is a matter of life or death.
"President Trump's proposal for FY2019 also ransacks a number of programs that are key to America's competitiveness and global standing. The blueprint proposes gradual cuts to non-defense discretionary spending after 2019 ($338 billion by 2028) that would essentially gut key programs for education, innovation, job creation, and the revitalization of local communities. It also fails to invest enough in our infrastructure; the $200 billion infrastructure investment the document highlights would come primarily from the private sector and local governments. In the area of foreign affairs, the Administration is proposing more cuts to the State Department and the elimination of the food aid program, further jeopardizing key diplomatic staff and diplomatic efforts abroad at a time of instability around the world.
"As the Ranking Democrat on the Commerce, Justice and Science Appropriations Subcommittee, it is disheartening to see some of the most crucial programs for economic development, scientific innovation, environmental protection, and civil rights attacked once again. Among the programs proposed for elimination under the Department of Commerce are the Manufacturing Extension Partnership program, the Economic Development Administration program, Coastal Zone Management Grants, the National Sea Grant Program, and the NOAA Educational Partnership Program with Minority Serving Institutions. Among those sharply reduced are the Minority Business Development Agency, the International Trade Administration export assistance, and NOAA Climate Research. DOJ grants are effectively cut by over $347 million, including a cut of 55 percent ($122.5 million) to the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program, which provides grants to state and local government for hiring law enforcement officers. The Department of Justice's Community Relations Service and the Legal Services Corporation, which so many people depend on to get legal assistance, is eliminated. Finally, the Trump budget unwisely seeks to turn over the International Space Station to commercial entities after the American people have invested over $100 billion in this program.
"The President's budget guts key government programs for working families, including the very people he claims to champion, after giving the most generous tax cuts to the top one percent under the Republican tax reform approved last year. This is just the most recent example of this Administration's values and whose side it's really on. Once again Democrats will fight to prevent these draconian cuts from going through and advance proposals that invest in our communities, businesses, and families." Said Congressman Serrano.
Congressman Serrano Welcomes Small Business Owners from District
Last month, Congressman Serrano welcomed small business owners from his district that recently finished Goldman Sachs' 10,000 Small Businesses Program. The program helps entrepreneurs create jobs and economic opportunity by providing access to education, capital and business support services.
"It was great meeting so many Goldman Sachs' 10,000 Small Businesses Program graduates from my district in The Bronx. They exemplify the entrepreneurial spirit that make our borough great. The challenges entrepeneurs and small business owners face need to be addressed in order to secure the prosperity that our nation desires, and they have my full support," said Congressman Serrano.
Congressman Serrano Celebrates Dominican Heritage Month with Congressman Espaillat
Last month, Congressman Serrano attended Congressman Espaillat's Dominican Heritage Month Celebration on Capitol Hill. The event honored distinguished Dominicans from New York City.
"The Dominican community in New York City has significantly increased over the past few years, becoming an integral part of our community. I was honored to be part of this event to celebrate their achievements and contributions," said Congressman Serrano.
Congressman Serrano Meets with UAW to Discuss the Puerto Rico Disaster Relief
Also last month, Congressman Serrano met with members of The International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America, better known as the United Automobile Workers (UAW) to discuss the challenges that Puerto Rico still faces after Hurricane Maria. Congressman Serrano has and will continue to advocate for the necessary federal aid needed to rebuild Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Congressman Serrano Fights For Net Neutrality with National Hispanic Media Coalition
Two weeks ago, Congressman Serrano welcomed the National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC) to accept their "Valentine" request to continue fighting for net neutrality.
"I will proudly continue to support the net neutrality Congressional Review Act (CRA). The internet belongs to all of us, let's keep it that way!" Said Congressman Serrano.
In the Bronx
Congressman Serrano Opposes City's Plans to Open Jail in the South Bronx
Congressman Serrano has opposed Mayor's de Blasio's decision to build one of the four jails that would replace Rikers in the South Bronx, a decision made without community or Bronx elected officials input.
"Criminal justice reform is badly needed in New York and nationally- and I will always support efforts to ensure our justice system is fairer and more equitable. As part of that, I strongly support the effort to close Rikers', but that process cannot take place at the expense of community input and participation in the siting of such a facility. Far too often, the South Bronx is used to deal with negative problems that other areas of New York City do not want to deal with. Waste transfer stations, sewage treatment plants, industrial/commercial facilities that generate increased truck traffic- all seem to be located in the South Bronx disproportionately when compared to the rest of the City. Once again it appears the South Bronx has been selected to bear an unnecessary burden on behalf of the City.
This 'process' already seems to be fundamentally flawed. There should be equity and fairness in the jail placement process- and that means looking throughout our borough- not just in the South Bronx; taking into consideration the number of jails already in an area; and at the very least, taking into consideration a community's needs and concerns in an inclusive manner. I urge the City to reconsider its decision and reopen this process in the Bronx and elsewhere if need be." Said Congressman Serrano
Congressman Serrano and NYS Senator José M. Serrano Host Annual Black History Month Celebration
Congressman José E. Serrano and New York State Senator José M. Serrano hosted their annual Black History Month Celebration in the Bronx with local community groups, advocates, and local elected officials. It was held at Hostos Community College, the event honored five individuals who have been advocates and community leaders in the Bronx and New York City: Marricka Scott-McFadden, Deputy Bronx Borough President; Hon. Latoya Joyner, Assembly Member for the 77th NYS Assembly District; Linda Kemp, Founder of Bringing the Peace and Building the Community; Kathleen Saunders, Bronx Community Board 4 Chair. The Honorable Aurelia Greene, Former Bronx Deputy Borough President & NYS Assembly Member (Speaker Pro- Tempore) was also presented with the U.S. Congressional and NYS Senate Life Time Achievement Award this year.
"Every year, we have the privilege of honoring some of the many African-American community leaders working to expand access to opportunity and improve quality of life in the Bronx at the annual Serrano Black History Month Celebration. With so many social programs under threat of being cut or eliminated under the Trump Administration, their work is more important than ever. This special event also serves as an opportunity to celebrate African-American heritage and contributions to American culture through special performances and events. We look forward to many more," said Congressman Serrano and his son New York State Senator José M. Serrano.

Truck driver killed in I-79 collision with tractor-trailer
Police investigate deadly crash in North Strabane Township
One person was killed Tuesday afternoon in a head-on collision on Interstate 79 in North Strabane Township, Washington County.
Washington County Coroner Tim Warco said the driver of a Ford pickup truck was killed when the truck left the northbound lanes and crossed into the southbound lanes at 3:47 p.m., colliding head-on with a tractor-trailer.
The driver of the truck, identified as 45-year-old Mark Chesick, was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene, Warco said.
The tractor-trailer and the pickup truck had to be towed from the scene, and the road has since reopened.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
A photo sent to Channel 4 Action News by a viewer showed traffic at a standstill in the southbound lanes of the interstate near Canonsburg.

It is one of BC's most tragic mysteries.
On June 19, 2009, 17 year old Jodi Henrickson disappeared on Bowen Island after leaving a house party with her ex-boyfriend.
To this day, there has been no sign of her and no arrests have been made. Investigators believe she's a victim of foul play.
Police and Crime Stoppers are once again appealing to the public to come forward with information on Jodi Henrickson. Can you help give Jodi's family the answers they so desperately need?
Jodi, who lived with her family in Squamish, told her parents she was going camping at Cultus Lake. In fact, she went to Bowen Island to party with friends.
She attended a party on Harding Road, then she went to another party in an area known as Leroyville, about 8 km away. She went back and forth between the two parties.
Jodi left the Harding Road Party with her ex- boyfriend sometime after 4 am. The two had a stormy relationship. At one point Gavin Arnott had been convicted of assaulting Jodi, given a conditional discharge and had been placed on probation.
The next morning, June 20, they were seen walking hand in hand in the direction of the Snug Cove Ferry Terminal.
At around 6:30 in the morning the pair were spotted near the Miller's Landing turn off. Gavin was the last person to see her. It's believed the two were arguing on the side of the road and that her ex turned his back to her and walked away. He was a person of interest in her disappearance, but there has been no conclusive evidence to charge him.
There has been much speculation as to what happened to Jodi. No body and no remains have been found. No convictions have been made. How can a person simply vanish like that? Her family has been forced to live not knowing what happened, but they deserve to have closure.
Someone out there surely knows something. No piece of information is too small to help solve this case. If you know anything call police or if you would like to remain anonymous visit bccrimestoppers.com or call 1 800 222- 8477.

Shi's Encryption Work Highlighted in MIT Technology Review
Elaine Shi, an assistant professor of computer science with appointments in UMIACS and the Maryland Cybersecurity Center, is part of a team of researchers featured in MIT Technology Review for their work on a prototype browser extension called ShadowCrypt, which makes it easy for users to send and receive encrypted text on Twitter, Facebook or any other website.
Using ShadowCrypt, a person who writes or is authorized to read a tweet or e-mail sees normal text. The site operator or anyone else looking at or intercepting the posting would see a garbled string of letters and numbers.
To use ShadowCrypt, you install the extension and then create encryption keys for each website you wish to use it with. A small padlock icon at the corner of every text box is the only indication that ShadowCrypt is hiding the garbled encrypted version that will be submitted when sent or posted.

The need for bilateral repositioning of the nipple-areola complex is also increasing in other surgical fields such as in female-to-male transsexual patients with large breasts and in patients with severe forms of gynecomastia. Proper configuration and localization of the nipple-areola complex requires both meticulous planning and a thorough understanding of the male anatomy and is essential in determining final aesthetic outcome. Currently available guidelines create areolas that are too large, place the nipple-areola complex too high and too far medially, and/or require complex abstract mathematical calculations. Relying on the recently appreciated aesthetic value of the golden number Phi (ϕ) we propose an easy and reliable method to determine the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the male nipples. With only 2 easily measurable distances, umbilicus-anterior axillary fold apex and umbilicus-suprasternal notch, the internipple distance and the position of the horizontal nipple plane relative to the suprasternal notch can be calculated. The internipple distance can be determined with 95% accuracy and the distance from the suprasternal notch can be determined in 80% of cases within a range of 3.33 ± 1.25 cm. © 2009 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.

We are using proprietary deep learning on vast sets of different data to assess where could be possible price bands of resistance for cryptocurrencies. For many excellent past cases of achieving high returns with BittsBands see our blog posts at http://www.bittsanalytics.com/blog/category/bittsbands/
Several days ago we wrote about how one could use BittsBands to make great return on Aelf when the price was around 1.2 USD:
#aelf is now through the stronger resistance BittsBands. pic.twitter.com/cKhE4oJCsA
— Bittsanalytics (@bittsanalytics) April 24, 2018
What we also noted at the time was the relatively weak resistance bands above 1.2 USD up to 1.9 USD, see chart from that tweet:
In this situation a rally through 1.2 USD and much higher would have a higher probability. This is indeed what has happened in the last week with the price now reaching 1.8 USD for a return of 50% in less than a week.
If you want to include deep learned Bittsbands data in your cryptocurrency analysis you can find it at our BittsAnalytics platform: www.bittsanalytics.com. Platform also has a lot of other advanced data such as social media analytics and chart patterns automatically detected with AI as well as sophisticated analytical tools.

Yes, during the freeze I ran into trouble with OpenAFS because I had too many different streams that I wanted to test at the same time. I was using experimental for the upcoming 1.6 release, which I really wanted to have available in Debian for people to test but which is a huge technological change, and there were also new stable 1.4 releases that (in a rolling model) should have gone into unstable and then into rolling. But I was holding unstable free to handle point fixes for testing. We have a ton of archives right now, and I'm hesitant to even hint at adding another one, but it does sometimes feel like we have one too few. -- Russ Allbery (email@example.com) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>

2013 Indian GP Practice One: Sebastian Vettel sets impressive early pace
Gearbox glitch strikes Alonso, Hamilton not yet happy with handling
By James Galloway at Buddh International Circuit
Last Updated: 25/10/13 11:46am
The World Champion, who only requires a fifth-place finish on Sunday to secure his fourth successive Drivers' Championship, clocked a best time around the dusty Indian circuit of 1:26.683 to outpace Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber by 0.188s and Mercedes' Nico Rosberg by 0.216s.
For Fernando Alonso, however, - the only man who can still mathematically, albeit improbably, deny Vettel the title - it was an unusually troubled start to the weekend as a gearbox problem mid-way through the session on his Ferrari curtailed his running with a mere six laps on the board.
Although the sight of Vettel at the head of the timesheets has become more of a recurring sight than ever since the summer break - the German has now set the pace in 41 different sessions in 2013 - it was actually the first time anyone but Lewis Hamilton has headed the P1 order since Spa in late August.
And if any confirmation was needed that there would be no let-up from Vettel this weekend despite the minimal title-winning requirement, Red Bull chief Christian Horner told Sky Sports F1: "We've still got to finish the job off and our focus is on getting the very best out of this weekend and the Championship tables will tend to take care of themselves."
Meanwhile, usual P1 pacesetter Hamilton finished behind Lotus's in-form Romain Grosjean in fifth place, half a second off the pace.
The Briton did, though, steadily work his way up the order in the closing stages of the session having at one stage reported over the radio that his W04 felt "all over the place". Hamilton had been one of several drivers to take to the expansive circuit's copious run-off areas.
McLaren pair Jenson Button and Sergio Perez took sixth and seventh places respectively having gone earlier than most in a session that was slow to get going, the former having suggested he will try a more extreme set-up on the troublesome MP4-28 this weekend in a bid to try and learn some lessons for 2014.
Aside from trying to secure second place in the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari's thoughts have increasingly turned to the sport's new era next season but the Scuderia will certainly hope for a more competitive Indian weekend than P1 proved with lead runner Felipe Massa a full second off the pace in eighth.
Alonso would likely have been closer but his running was brief due to the gearbox glitch that struck mid-way round just his sixth lap as he was changing up the gears coming out of a corner. But although Ferrari have confirmed they will have to change the unit before P2, the Spaniard won't be penalised for the change as it was not his race gearbox.
Ferrari, like the majority of their rivals, had already been working to a condensed opening practice programme owing to the typically dusty, slippery nature of the little-used circuit at the start of the race weekend. It was the best part of 40 minutes before the big names left the pitlane for their first serious runs, with Perez having had the circuit to himself up until then.
After taking over Paul Di Resta's Force India, GP2 front-runner James Calado enjoyed an eventful session en-route to the 18th-fastest time, bouncing over one of the track's outside kerbs at one point, before ending up with a healthy 22 laps on the board.

Executive Summary: The Fourth Circuit is the latest court to weigh-in on the growing circuit split concerning the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act ("CFAA") and its applicability to employee data theft cases. Like the Fifth, Ninth, and Eleventh Circuits, the Fourth Circuit rejected a broad interpretation of the CFAA that would impose liability on employees who violate a computer usage policy. Instead, it limits CFAA liability to individuals such as computer hackers who obtain data without any authorization.1
Current Circuit Split On Scope Of CFAA: The CFAA imposes civil and criminal liability for any person who "knowingly and with intent to defraud accesses a protected computer without authorization, or exceeds authorized access, and by means of such conduct furthers the intended fraud and obtains anything of value."
The Seventh Circuit interprets the CFAA to apply to employee data theft cases because such conduct is a violation of the employee's duty of loyalty to the employer. Because the employee breached his duty of loyalty, his agency relationship with the employer is terminated at that time, causing the employee to lose any authority to access the employer's computer system.
The Fifth, Ninth, Eleventh – and now Fourth - Circuits take a much narrower view of the CFAA and hold that the terms "without authorization" and "exceeds authorized access" apply only to outside individuals who access computers without permission. These opinions appear to be rooted in a concern for employees who innocently violate an employer's computer usage policy by engaging in harmless behavior such as checking Facebook and the potential criminal consequences imposed by the CFAA.
Fourth Circuit Expressly Rejects Seventh Circuit's "Cessation of Agency" Theory: Former employee Mike Miller resigned from his position as Project Director for WEC Carolina Energy Solutions, Inc. ("WEC"). Just twenty days later, he made a presentation to a potential WEC customer on behalf of a competitor, Arc Energy Services, Inc. ("Arc"), and the customer awarded the business to Arc.
WEC sued Miller, Miller's assistant Emily Kelley, and Arc alleging that they violated the CFAA when Miller downloaded WEC's proprietary information and used that information in Arc's presentation to WEC's potential customer. WEC also alleged nine state causes of action including conversion, tortious interference with contractual relations, civil conspiracy, and misappropriation of trade secrets. The district court dismissed WEC's CFAA claim, holding that CFAA provides no relief for WEC's claims.
The Fourth Circuit affirmed the district court's decision. In doing so, it strongly rejected the "cessation of agency" theory advanced by the Seventh Circuit because of the far-reaching effects unintended by Congress and the imposition of criminal penalties. It noted that WEC was not without any recourse because it could pursue the other legal remedies alleged in the complaint.
Employer's Bottom Line: There appears to be a growing rejection of the applicability of the CFAA to employee data theft cases. If you discover that you are a victim of employee data theft, a misappropriation of trade secrets claim (and other related claims) may be the best avenue to seek relief.

Catholic Website Aleteia recently did an interview with screenwriter and teacher Barbara Nicolosi, the founder and chair emeritus of Act One, Inc., a nonprofit program to equip Christians to work in Hollywood as writers and executives.
Nicolosi has also analyzed scripts, produced and consulted (and also taught a Hollywood-based RCIA program), so she stands squarely at the intersection of orthodox Catholicism and practical Hollywood knowledge.
Via Variety, here's her latest screenwriting project:
In the latest of a growing crop of major faith-based films, several prominent U.S. indie players, including Origin Entertainment, Frida Torresblanco ("Pan's Labyrinth") and Rose Ganguzza's Rose Pictures ("Kill Your Darlings"), have teamed up on "Fatima," to be directed by Italy's Marco Pontecorvo and shot at Rome's Cinecittà Studios.
"Fatima" will mark the most ambitious attempt to reconstruct the solemn supernatural events surrounding the supposed apparition of Mary to three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917, since Warner Bros.' classic "The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima" in 1952.
Nicolosi, currently an associate professor in the Honors College at Christian (but not Catholic) institution Azusa Pacific University, dishes out some tough love in the two-part interview. But, it's stuff that Catholics need to hear.
Right now, we're mostly religious window dressing, the target of sex-abuse stories, or depicted fighting the Devil (that last one's good, but that's not all we do).
Fortunately, Mel Gibson hit it big with "The Passion of the Christ." Unfortunately, nothing has come close to matching the 2004 movie's combination of serious Christianity and commercial success (witness the latest box-office flop, the well-meaning but seriously flawed "Ben-Hur").
As Nicolosi points out, our Evangelical brethren have stepped into the breach with low-budget, sermon-heavy films like "God's Not Dead," but that's hardly an unqualified blessing.
Here's Nicolosi, from part one of the interview:
Every studio now pretty much has a faith division where they're looking for content for that niche market. This is good and bad. The good part is the mainstream industry is talking to people of faith instead of thinking of us as what's wrong with the world. The bad part is that it's ghetto-ized us, such that when you bring a really good project like Mary Mother of Christ or A Severe Mercy to them they say: #1, "This is too smart for the Christians; they don't want to be challenged," and #2 "You can serve this audience for a lot less than this movie will cost." I've had both things said to me by studio executives.
So, in other words, they say, "Why should we spend 40 million on a movie with faith or transcendent aspects when we can make it for two million with no stars, no great director, no good script, and all you have to do is put some Bible quotes in it and come out as a sweet little melodrama and it will make 30 million for us?" So that is devastatingly bad for the Church, for art, and for the society as a whole, because it's keeping any beautiful faith-inspired work from getting a serious treatment.
So, what's to be done? Just stick a priest or two in a movie, show a church, slap a crucifix on the lead actress and be done with it? Not at all.
It's not enough for a story to have faith; it's also got to be good.
Nicolosi, from part two of the interview:
So, we give young people a rigorous writing program and compel them to engage the big ideas, through the Great Books. We help them become aware that modernism is a freak, and help them understand the particular lostness of the people of their time — the confusions that are deeply infused in them by the water we're all swimming in. Then, once they have a good solid foundation, we identify the good writers among them and work with them so that they can learn the basics of visual storytelling. I did an intensive this summer with nine writers —three were our APU students — they have talent and they get it and they're interesting.
Interesting story comes from interesting people. And being Christian by itself doesn't make you interesting. You need to be Christian and thoughtful. So when we talk about the Church addressing this problem about the dearth of story-telling, it's not going to be a quick fix.
Christ sent us forth to evangelize the world, and we won't do that by just talking to each other — which is what too many Christian films do today. They thrill the faithful, but they don't percolate out into the larger culture.
Nicolosi also points out that a lot of the Catholics that are already in Hollywood are either weak in their faith formation, or just not sure what it means to be a working person in the entertainment industry AND an evangelist (or keep their faith under wraps for fear of not getting work).
Also, Nicolosi points out, the USCCB hasn't been much help:
I gave a speech at [the bishops' own] Catholic University of America years ago, and at the end they told me it was the last class they were having on screen writing — they were shutting it down. And I thought, "Did I miss the memo? Are movies going away?!"
But, Nicolosi says, she doesn't want the Church to get into the business of making movies:
The Church is supposed to commission art, not make it.

From artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to autonomous vehicles, virtual reality, and cryptocurrency, the rapid evolution of technology shows no sign of slowing down. Companies in the digital technology sector are among the world's most highly valued companies, with good reason. And businesses in every sector now use digital technology in all kinds of ways, from basic email to sophisticated data analytics.
Fresh water is becoming a scarce resource in the United States and across the globe as demand continues to rise due to population and business growth. This emergent scarcity means businesses will face more consequences of the complex regulatory and legal frameworks governing water use and water quality.
Michael Best's Water team understands those issues. We guide clients through the heavily regulated, politically sensitive environment surrounding the management of, investment in, and development of water resources.
To prevail in litigation, clients need exceptional representation both inside and outside the courtroom. With more than 40 lawyers and other professionals, our seasoned Litigation practice group provides battle-tested service and representation for nearly any type of dispute.

Guiding clients through transactions
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has issued a final rule that prohibits federal contractors and subcontractors from discriminating against workers based on sexual orientation or gender identity. This rule implements Executive Order 13672, signed by President Obama July 21, 2014. The final rule, which is available here is effective 120 days after publication in the Federal Register and will apply to federal contracts entered into or modified on or after that date.
The rule prohibits discrimination against job applicants and employees based on sexual orientation or gender identity in addition to other protected characteristics. After the effective date contractors must now include gender identity and sexual orientation as prohibited bases of discrimination under their Equal Opportunity Clause. In addition, sexual orientation and gender identity language must be used in job solicitations and in new or modified subcontracts or purchase orders. Notably, this rule does not require contractors to ask for self-identification by applicants or employees, to set goals or to conduct any data analysis regarding compensation or other personnel practices as they relate to sexual orientation or gender identity.
Though the rule has not yet gone into effect, federal contractors and all other private employers should be aware that the EEOC already considers discrimination based on gender identity or discrimination based on transgender status as a form of sex discrimination under Title VII. (Macy v. Dep't of Justice). In Macy the EEOC found sex discrimination under Title VII had occurred against employees because they were transgender, because of their gender identity, and/or because they had transitioned. On September 24, 2014, the EEOC filed its first lawsuits challenging transgender discrimination under the Civil Rights Act. Moreover, as noted in its Strategic Enforcement Plan, the EEOC also considers discrimination based on sexual orientation as sex discrimination. OFCCP agrees that discrimination based on gender identity or transgender status is a form of sex discrimination already encompassed within the scope of Executive Order 11246. OFCCP along with the EEOC will now accept and investigate complaints based on gender identity and/or sexual orientation.
Ultimately, though there is no comprehensive federal law explicitly protecting gay or transgender employees from discrimination; employers should be aware that the EEOC—the agency responsible for enforcing federal anti-discrimination laws—already considers discrimination based on being gay or transgendered as sex discrimination. Moreover, according to the DOL, 18 states (including Wisconsin) and the District of Columbia already have laws protecting individuals from discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation. Thus, employers, and not only those doing business with the federal government (contractors and subcontractors), may be prudent to take a fresh look at their anti-discrimination policies and practices
Farrah serves Michael Best in two capacities: as partner in the Labor and Employment Relations Practice Group and as a member of the Management Committee. Her practice focuses on employment counseling and employment litigation, with a particular emphasis on discrimination, noncompetition, and Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP).
Holly concentrates her practice on labor and employment disputes and counsel. As a litigator, she mounts forceful and persuasive defenses before federal and state courts and administrative agencies on behalf of employers. As an advisor, she helps management develop and maintain compliant employee policies.
Marion applies her extensive experience to a broad range of complex labor and employment and strategic planning issues, working with our lawyers on behalf of Michael Best clients.Clients turn to Marion for comprehensive executive search services and placement for public and private entities, as well as targeted search services assistance in areas ranging from background and reference checking to preparation and negotiation of initial employment agreements.

1. Why? A problem statement or context of why your idea or field is relevant to the audience lives and the problems needing solved
2. How? How did you approach or solve the problem?
3. So what? What are your research findings & wider implications?
Screencasting is the easiest, quickest and least intimidating way to share your science to the world via video. You don't need a script or to purchase any fancy equipment.
Whether it's a recent presentation/lecture or an animation of some methods/results, screencasting allows you to record video & audio directly from your computer screen.
Simply load a keynote or powerpoint presentation or some other animation about science and screencasting software captures everything including your audio and mouse movements. Then save it as a 3-5minute movie file and upload it into your Thinkable profile. Done.
Here's an example of a Thinkable research screencast for a recent manuscript.
There's hundreds of different screencast software options, but there are a few we recommend that are both free and easy to use.
1. Quicktime (for MAC)
Click 'File', then 'New Screen Recording', then follow the prompts to set the screen area and hit record.
2. Screen-cast-o-matic (For PC/MAC)
Vastly better than Quicktime, as it gives the viewer clear, engaging click-over animations and many editorial features/options when creating your final. It's also free for 15minute videos.
3. Jing (For PC/MAC)
Makes creating a screencast to share instant from your desktop. Similar to Screen-cast-o-matic and is free for 5minute videos.
Here's a detailed tutorial from Karen creating a screencast from a recent powerpoint presentation:
A research pitch is when you give a short 3-minute summary of your broad research or a piece of research either completed (paper, poster) or a new project you've just started (project). It's a simple but powerful form of science communication. Check out this great example of a research pitch.
You can use a basic camera, iPad or iPhone with tripod to record this type of pitch, but you definitely need a lapel microphone to make the clear. Please see 'Sound' and 'Lighting' tutorial tips before you shoot it.
This style of video is powerful and personalizes you as a researcher, but requires practice to make sure you clearly get your key message across.
If you don't want to create a video with real images or shooting, then whiteboard animations can be really effective and powerful.
Here's our launch video using this style:
We used a professional animator and voice-over who we highly recommend.
But there are also easy software tools to create simpler whiteboard animations like this one from Rosie, a PhD student sharing her research on Thinkable.
The three different sites where you can create your own research whiteboard animation are Powtoon, Goanimate and VideoScribe. Each have free trials, so you can test them out to see what's best for you.
Here's a VideoScribe that we did to give you a feel for it.
For narration, you can try yourself, or you can hire professional voiceovers for $5 at fiverrr.com.
A short video story involves a mixture of video content and interviews with some animations to create an engaging video about your research. Here's an example of an engaging video story or song.
Shooting is not really the most time-consuming part of creating a research this type of video, it's the editing and the production quality. If you want to create a compelling video story, then it's best to contact either your organizations press office or you can easily source freelance professionals for $5-10 at fiverr.com and other marketplaces. We have done this for our videos, so contact us if you want some recommendations.

This spring, French authors will be touring the United States with a special focus on music and poetry. Rachida Madani, Pierre Alféri, and Anne Portugal will present their art, often with musical accompaniment. Also,
Fréderic Gros, philosopher, will be on tour to present his endearing bestseller A Philosophy of Walking that explores how the act of walking has influenced some of the greatest thinkers in history. These authors, whose books have been translated into English, speak both French and English and they will be delighted to meet other audiences all over the Midwest. You're welcome to invite them.
We would like to take this opportunity to highlight the French literary landscape through selected readings, resources and new initiatives. A few selected readings, articles "Why Do French Books Sell Abroad" and "Why Do French Comics Sell Abroad?
"by our Book office in New York, an online list of French titles translated and published in the USA, and the "coups de Coeur" of a few avid readers like Judith Thurman, Steve Wasserman , Susan Harris and Sam Sacks shows the vitality of French language books in translation. The Cultural Services of the French Embassy strongly believe that each link in the literary chain –the author, the agent, the publisher, the translator, the distributor, the bookstore- must be vigorously supported. So, we take this opportunity to list the resources available to translators and publishers.
In autumn, the French Cultural Services in Chicago and Houston will launch a new French authors' tour, intended primarily for book clubs, writing workshops and programs, as well as independent bookstore in the two regions, while promoting new French titles translated by local publishers. Spring is not here yet: so if you must stay at home, read French…!
On February 6th, the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and FACE hosted the first French Voices Award Ceremony, with a special homage to the late publisher André Schiffrin. The French Voices Grand Prize was awarded to translator Melanie Mauthner and Archipelago Books for Notre-Dame du Nil by Scholastique Mukasonga.
On the occasion of the 41st Angoulême Comics Festival, which ended earlier this month, what better time to take a look at the state of French comics on the American book market?
When Edmund White moved to Paris in 1983, he couldn't speak French, and only knew two people in the entire city. When he left fifteen years later, he was fluent enough to broadcast on French radio and TV, and in his work as a journalist, he'd made the acquaintance of everyone from Yves Saint Laurent to Catherine Deneuve to Michel Foucault. This is a memoir which gossips and ruminates, and offers a brilliant examination of a city and a culture eternally imbued with an aura of enchantment.
Following the critically acclaimed Season 1 of what Jeff Smith described as "...a dream mash-up of Little Orphan Annie, Dick Tracy, noir and gangster films, as well as 10 cent comic books from the '40s... oh, and toss in Babar the Elephant for good measure..." comes an equally riveting second season, concluding this first story cycle.
First published in French in 2010, Equaliberty brings together essays by Étienne Balibar, one of the preeminent political theorists of our time. The book is organized around equaliberty, a term coined by Balibar to connote the tension between the two ideals of modern democracy: equality (social rights and political representation) and liberty (the freedom citizens have to contest the social contract).
Rachida Madani, a native of Morocco, has published several volumes of poetry in French, a language she also taught for thirty years. A lifelong political militant, she expresses her resistance: "not by shouting slogans and waving banners. I fight with my words." Her Tales of a Severed Head (Yale University Press 2012, transl. from the French by Marilyn Hacker) was a finalist for the 2013 Poetry in Translation Award, sponsored by the PEN American Center.
Pierre Alféri is one of today's most innovative French poets and the son of philosopher Jacques Derrida. His works include Night and Day (translated by Kate Campbell, Fence Books, 2012) and Kub Or (translated by Cole Swensen as Oxo, Burning Deck). Alféri nurtures collaboration with other artists and often performs with musicians, painters and fellow poets.
French Poet Anne Portugal's recent work Définitif bob, translated by Jennifer Moxley as Absolute bob
(Burning Deck Press), has been the subject of considerable critical and popular interest. Burning Deck has also published Portugal's chapbook, Quisite Moment, translated by Rosmarie Waldrop (2008). Her work is influenced by, and often references, Jacques Roubaud as well as contemporary sources such as instruction booklets and video games.
A professor of philosophy at the University of Paris XII and the Institute of Political Studies, Frédéric Gros is the editor of Michel Foucault's last lectures at the Collège de France. He has written books on psychiatry, law, and war, including Foucault et la folie, Etats de violence and most recently, Le Principe Sécurité. His A Philosophy of Walking
(Verso, 2014) explores how the act of walking has influenced some of the greatest thinkers in history: Thoreau, Gandhi, Rousseau, Nietzsche, Kant and Schopenhauer. It has sold over 40,000 copies in France and shines as a poetic call to think in motion.
Provides funding for translators wishing to stay in France in order to translate French works in the fields of literature or humanities.
The Cultural Services of the French Embassy and La Villa Gillet offer residencies for translators (two to four per year) at La Villa Gillet in Lyon, France in the field of literature, political and social sciences, history, and contemporary art.
Provides grants to support the translation of book-length works of fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, or drama that have not previously appeared in English or have appeared only in an egregiously flawed translation.
The French Voices Award honors both translators and American publishers for their work. The program's goal is to create a US-published series of books representing the very best of contemporary French writing in every field. This ambitious program by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy is aimed to support translations from French into English. Applications are accepted twice per year and candidates are selected by a literary committee.
Designed to support translation of French books into other languages, this grants covers the cost of translation per se, not costs incurred for production or promotion. The commission meets twice a year, in March and September. For those works which it selects, the commission proposes a subsidy ranging between 20% and 50% of the cost of translation.
The Institut Français offers grants to American publishers to help with the cost of acquiring the rights to French works.
The Hemingway Grant allows publishers to receive financial help for the translation and publication of a French work into English. Grant beneficiaries are selected by the Book Department of the French Embassy in the United States.
The French Voices Award honors both translators and American publishers for their work.
Dedicated to debate and ideas, the Fonds d'Alembert of the Institut Français can co-finance conferences, seminars and forums organized by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy with american partners. Each year, approximately fifty projects are supported by this program. For more information, contact the French Cultural Services in Chicago
The list of resources has been complied by the Book Department of the French Embassy. It contains a number of useful links for both industry professionals and people with a general interest in books.
