Scourge of Outdated Software Creates Massive Cyber Risk
Problems with patches, software updates are still a mainstay of corporate technology
The massive cyber breach at Equifax Inc. illustrates how data thefts often stem from the failure to keep software up to date, an essential element of security that experts say can confound enterprise technology executives.
Technology experts at Equifax worked earlier this year to identify and patch vulnerable systems after Cisco Systems Inc. reported an online security flaw that allowed hackers to break into servers. They discovered months later, though, that the same flaw still existed in some areas, and by then, it was too late.
The breach potentially exposed about 143 million Americans' personal information and follows a high-profile breach that occurred in May, dubbed WannaCry. It also stemmed from systems that were not adequately patched.
Cybersecurity analysts say an examination of these breaches reveals why it's becoming harder than ever for chief information officers and chief information security officers to track and manage the vast network of computer systems in an enterprise, and in turn, patch or fix those systems to minimize security vulnerabilities.
In some cases, a company's infrastructure is so massive that technology experts might not even be aware that certain computer systems, software and servers exist. This is especially true in the age of so-called shadow IT, in which employees can easily develop or purchase IT solutions without permission from management.
"The sprawl of infrastructure and asset management of all these types of devices and servers … is getting more and more complicated for security and IT teams," said Jeff Pollard, principal analyst at Forrester Research Inc., who specializes in cybersecurity.
An Equifax spokesperson said the company had no comment.
Technology groups also might be understaffed and may not have the resources or bandwidth to deploy all software patches, or they might be struggling to identify which patches to prioritize, Mr. Pollard said.
Many IT executives also have to make their case to upper management for why certain patches need to be deployed over others, and they need to ensure that a patch isn't going to break an application or system, or cause a disruption to customers or employees, he said.
Technology executives previously have told CIO Journal that CIOs often make a case for funding a project but not a very good case for why money for maintenance is needed.
Though important, cybersecurity has not traditionally been the No. 1 priority for many enterprise CIOs. Cyber and information security were cited less by CIOs as a top priority for spending, according to an October 2016 report from Gartner Inc. Technology initiatives such as analytics, cloud services and infrastructure were cited as priorities more often.
The report surveyed about 2,600 CIOs across 93 countries representing about $9.4 trillion in revenue and public-sector budgets.
Mr. Pollard expects many more CIOs to make cybersecurity their top priority this year or next year as more companies begin to monetize data and realize how much of their company's value is at stake in the security of their business.
"CIOs need to shift away from thinking about their environments as infrastructure and think of them as entities that process and store an incredibly valuable commodity," he said.
Companies need to think about the business case for security and fraud investments in terms of where the greatest risks lie, similar to the way that cybercriminals are able to pinpoint firms' biggest vulnerabilities, said Shuman Ghosemajumder, chief technology officer at Shape Security.
"Perhaps Equifax's greatest failing was not that they didn't patch the Struts vulnerability in time, but instead that they constructed an application where any such vulnerability … could expose such a sensitive data set," he said.
Part of why companies may have a hard time taking steps to maximize their cybersecurity efforts may also be the way people are programmed to think about risk. People tend to prefer small sure gains over larger risky gains, and larger risky losses over sure small losses, said cybersecurity expert Bruce Schneier.
"Spending money on security is a choice between a sure small loss (the cost of the security measures) and a risky larger loss (all the effect of being whacked, if we are whacked). Given that choice, our tendency is to take the chance," Mr. Schneier said in an email.
Equifax's breach, and the subsequent retirement of Equifax's CIO and chief information security officer, suggests that CISOs aren't the only ones who may find their jobs at risk following a cyberattack.
"We're at a point where it's not just the CISO that goes down in these major breaches," said Matt Comyns, managing partner of the cybersecurity practice at executive search firm Caldwell Partners International Inc.
Companies are exploring ways that technologies such as machine learning can improve the ability to detect and respond to cyberattacks, and to analyze threat data more efficiently. Analysts say such tools could help human cybersecurity analysts, who already deal with large data sets and a deluge of security alerts each day, better prioritize their work.

She eats a plant based diet, keeps her stress in check, sleeps well and lives in a blue zone which she says is an area of the country that emphasizes living a healthy lifestyle. What do medical cannabis and blue zones have in common? Listen to this week's show as my guest, Barbara McGee and I tackle this subject and more.
Barbara goes over several things that help you to be healthy and stresses not just the physical but mental and spiritual things that she does (and you can too!), to live a healthy, happy life. She also has started a website and podcast called LA Miracle Cure to further help people heal and get well from illness and live a longer healthier life. You can listen to her show "The LA Miracle Cure" every weekend at 1 pm E and find out what the craze is all about.
Living a healthy life is not easy especially this day and time, but if you had a community of people that also wanted to live healthy and that could help and encourage you to do the same then that would make it much easier to do. That is what these blue zones are all about.
According to Blue Zones, there are 42 communities in 9 states to date that are considered blue zones. They are Iowa, Minnesota, Texas, California, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Hawaii, Florida, and Oregon. The cities and towns in these states are places that make it easier to live longer, healthier and better lives.
They offer several resources to help you revamp your house and community to better serve you and others in living a healthy life. They base their information on research from cultures that have a track record of people who live a long time. Don't miss this episode as you too may want to find and live in a blue zone yourself one day!

Be a part of millions of satisfied customers and get your Tuborg Battery today!
We have thirty years of experience in the production of starter batteries. Thanks to this, we have developed a unique technology that we constantly improve through cooperation with research centres, developing our R & D department and conducting numerous research and analyses. We also focus on innovation, we observe the development of global technology and we choose the most interesting solutions. As the only producer in the country, we produce lead oxide (the basic component of a battery paste) using the spray method based on the BARTONA system. This method is used in the countries of North America and the Far East, where 75% of the world's battery production is manufactured. Its characteristic feature is the ease and sensitivity of the process control, which allows you to get the product with the desired parameters and maintain its quality at a constant level. The lead particles produced are dimensionally constant - this allows the preparation of an active mass with uniform parameters, which contributes to the high capacity. Key processes such as plate production, assembly and battery formation are constantly being developed mainly in terms of automation and robotics. The benefits of automating production processes should be seen in several categories. In terms of the product high and reproducible quality is ensured, in turn in the aspect of the process high efficiency and production efficiency are achieved. Finally, from the point of view of maintenance of technical equipment - high reliability and production availability of machines and lines are secured with reduced direct outlays of technology and operator support as well as maintenance services, maintenance and repairs. The latest investment is a battery formation system based on continuous electrolyte circulation with a combined exchange of its density during the formation process. This process integrates several operations that until now have been implemented on separate production nodes. The undeniable benefits are:
• Short time of formation. Time reduction up to 80% compared to standard processes. Formation for some types is up to 8 hours. In exceptional cases, it enables us to carry out orders very quickly.
• Optimal formation of electrodes - the formation process takes place with continuous circulation of low-density electrolyte, which at the end of the process is automatically exchanged for the electrolyte of a given density, which ensures the best electrochemical changes.
• High quality of the process - the electrolyte is prepared and supervised by a high-class integrated mixing system (the electrolyte is produced directly in the device from concentrated acid). We obtain electrolyte with precisely determined and reproducible temperature and density values.
• The visualization system and comprehensive data logging ensure full process control.
Compliance with standards
Our company has implemented and applies the quality management system according to EN ISO 9001:2008 standard since 2003. We hold the Certificate of Conformity with the Technical Specification EN ISO/ TS 16949:2009 which is the requirement and the agreement among the tycoons of the automotive industry. The specification was developed by the International Automotive Task Force as a quality management system in a series production as well as the production of spare parts in the automotive industry.
We have implemented a natural environment management system according to PN-EN ISO 14001:2004.
We have renewed all the major ISO quality certificates - Quality Management System and Environmental Management System.
In addition, we have also met the OEMs standard so we can supply batteries for this sector. TUV Nord was a certifier.
Also, the Quality Certification Centre has confirmed we have complied with the military requirements of AQAP 2130-2009 regarding battery sales and service. CCJ is a certification authority for management systems operating in the Department of Logistics of the Military Academy of Technology.

Washington D.C, May 6 : The blows just keep on coming for non-vegetarians. At the heels of the news that bacon causes cancer and hot dogs contain human DNA comes this: A new review has found that meat consumption raises mortality rates.
Conducted by physicians from Mayo Clinic in Arizona, the review of large-scale studies involving more than 1.5 million people found all-cause mortality is higher for those who eat meat, particularly red or processed meat, on a daily basis.
After analysing six studies that evaluated the effects of meat and vegetarian diets on mortality, the authors recommended that the physicians should advise patients to limit animal products when possible and consume more plants than meat.
Researcher Brookshield Laurent said, "This data reinforces what we have known for so long - your diet has great potential to harm or heal. This clinical-based evidence can assist physicians in counseling patients about the important role diet plays, leading to improved preventive care, a key consideration in the osteopathic philosophy of medicine."
The reviewers also found a 3.6-year increase in life expectancy for those on a vegetarian diet for more than 17 years, as compared to short-term vegetarians.
The study is published in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association.

A la B la C la D la E is (A or B or C or D)=>E
(ii) tempo suno kama la sina kama la mi pilin pona
A la B la C is (A=>B)=>C
i better like the option (ii). i would find a good use for this scheme
2. the preposition itself makes a regroupping, so we dont need pi if we really consider it as a preposition between 2 nouns. but if we consider it as a modifier with specific meaning, then we probably need pi.
1. good idea, but comma is not a good choice. may be this: jan li pana e sitelen `tawa mi. but the use of ` should not be mandatory.

One aspect of Project Leadership's mission is to educate our members on the issues of most concern to residents of Huron County. To that end, our classes each center around a specific theme; they meet in different venues each month; and they seek to expose our members to the many aspects of life throughout our county.
Project Leadership's first class of the year is always our AG Tour. We generally visit one of the large commercial farms in southwest Huron County - an area known as "The Muck" due to the black soil that was once bottomland in The Great Black Swamp. Today, farms around the small town of Celeryville provide produce for the likes of Kroger, Chipotle and other big name grocers and restaurants.
Included in the tour is a visit to one of Huron County's numerous dairy farms. The objective is to demonstrate to our class members the scope and importance of agriculture in Huron County.

Simon Sinek: The Interview that Started a Movement
As many who have followed my story actively over the past three years may know, I have been able to lead a journey through purpose and finding the top purpose-driven companies throughout the country. I have spoken with executives from Adobe, GE, Lenovo, and countless countless others, 500+ to date, to be exact. It's been an incredibly rewarding experience that has taught myself and others the power of purpose transformation and the ultimate potential any business has to become a better version of themselves both personally and professionally. But, it was one interview, one of our first influential ones, that set the ball for Science of Story rolling and began a process that has grown more than we could have ever imagined.
After finishing my two degrees, one Bachelor's degree in Finance and a Masters of Science in Finance through continued education, and my 15 years experience as an entrepreneur, I've seen a lot of mistakes, but I've also seen a tremendous amount of good. Three years ago, I was fortunate enough to come across a TED Talk by Simon Sinek; a speaker and author that has focused his attention on leadership and sparking change within organizations. Between his talk, and his book, titled "Start With Why", Sinek has had more of an influential and monumental role in my professional and personal development than any of my other experiences combined.
After finding his talk and reading his book, I had the opportunity to interview Simon Sinek in which I was able to dive deeper into his world of professional development and leadership. Through our interview, I was able to fully grasp the concept of "why" which ultimately sparked the creation of Science of Story. Sinek discussed the process of discovering one's "why" and how it has become a sort of personal awakening that causes an individual, organization, or even community to just click.
Through this journey, the personal awakening found within the discovery of "why" has shaped the way in which we do business. Our agency is keen to complete a full session with potential and current clients that allows us to shape, mold, and uncover a company's why before we move forward with any kind of project no matter the size. We feel that this exercise, which sometimes is a smooth and natural process, and other times is a long, yet rewarding experience, allows key players and influencers within the company to come together and end on the same page. It allows both our team and theirs to fully understand the company, their goals, their aspirations, and ultimately, their purpose before moving forward on project that no doubt link back to that overall company vision.
We believe that the Science of Story is a direct result of my interview with Simon Sinek; it's a movement in which we have connected with companies all over the country on purpose, purpose transformation, and overall company success when an organization's internal and external stakeholders are aligned and fighting for the same goal. Through our own experiences with aiding companies in this journey and also our experience bonding with organizations that have successfully achieved this goal, we have been able to better shape the world around us and leaving it in a better place than where we found it.

ISLAMABAD, Oct 27 (APP): Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafique Thursday said the sit-in by PTI chief Imran Khan would damage interests of Pakistan and undermine CPEC project.
Addressing a press conference here, he said Imran Khan was trying to weaken democracy. The country's economy had taken off and there was a need to strengthen democracy and keep political stability for further economic progress, he added.
Saad Rafique said Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif had made defence of Pakistan strong by carrying out nuclear explosions.
He said there was a history of deep divisions between Pakistan Peoples Party and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) but they had learned not to cross "the red lines in a democracy".
He blamed the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief for crossing all moral limits and disrespecting state institutions.
The PTI staged a sit-in in 2014, during which it levelled baseless allegations of electoral rigging. Its workers besieged state buildings, and attacked the Parliament House and the Prime Minister House, he recalled.
During that agitation, he said, the PTI violated promises made with the Islamabad administration and entered the Red Zone and violated the sanctity of state buildings.
Saad Rafique said Imran Khan used abusive language against all institutions, including Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), Election Commission of Pakistan, Supreme Court and National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
Imran Khan's behaviour showed that he wanted absolute powers by becoming prime minister, chief justice and armed forces chief at the same time.
Saad said it was responsibility of the government to protect the rights of five million residents of Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
Nobody should be mistaken about the government's commitment to protect life and property of the people, he added.
He said Imran refused to accept the latest decision of Islamabad High Court which restrained the PTI from locking down the federal capital. He had made fun of the court decision, he alleged.
He said the capital was not an enemy's territory that the PTI wanted to besiege.
The Constitution and laws of Pakistan did not allow anybody to usurp the fundamental rights of citizens, he added.
Saad said the government was ready to hold dialogue on formation of a commission for inquiry into the Panama Leaks. The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) did not want to take burden of the Panama issue into the next election as the Prime Minister had welcomed hearing of the case in that regard by the Supreme Court.
Regardless of how much Imran Khan raised hue and cry and how much he lied, change in Pakistan would come through vote, he remarked.
Saad said Imran should refrain from creating chaos in the country. He and and his associates would be held accountable for their misdeeds, he added.
Saad Rafique reminded that Imran Khan removed chief of Accountability Commission Khyber Pakhtunkhwa when he unearthed corruption of PTI officials.
The anti-corruption department of KP was also made dysfunctional after the scam of "billion trees plantation" project surfaced, he added.
He said after the attack on lawyers, police cadets were ambushed and martyred in Quetta which was very tragic.
He said the government would continue its efforts to eradicate terrorism and ensure a brighter future for the next generation.
Talking about the performance of Pakistan Railways, he said its revenue was increased from Rs 18 billion to Rs 36 billion, freight delivery rose by six times and the number of passengers also grew.
He said with the assistance of Asian Development Bank (ADB), rail tracks would be upgraded. Some other projects would also be completed under the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project.
Minister of State for Capital Administration and Development Division (CADD) Dr Tariq Fazal Chaudhry assured the businessmen community and citizens of Islamabad that the government would ensure that the capital remained open and everybody exercised his right of free movement.
ISLAMABAD, Oct 27 (APP): Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafique Thursday said the sit-in by PTI chief Imran Khan would damage interests of Pakistan and undermine CPEC project.

Once again the European LCS was able to put its competitors from overseas in their place, with power picks like Aatrox or Heimerdinger G2 Esports and Co were far ahead of the American meta game and the poor preparation of the NA LCS sealed the verdict for their region.
The participating teams of the Rift Rivals tournament are still divided in their opinions about this tournament format: on the one hand the challengers can gain international experience, on the other hand the few matches give more information to their upcoming regional opponents. And just in Week 4 of the EU LCS the two teams at the top of the standings clash against each other on Summoner's Rift as G2 Esports takes on Misfits Gaming.
Only one team will emerge as European leader, which one is your favourite? Week 4 of the LCS Summer Split starts on July 13th, 2018 at 6:00 PM CEST, so provide the snacks and cool the drinks – there will be once more fascinating duels on Summoner's Rift.

Match #1: H2K vs. Unicorns of Love
July 14th, 09:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET / 18:00 CEST
Prediction: A bitter season for H2K Gaming, after three and a half weeks of competitive League of Legends the team can still be found on the last position in the standings without a single victory and even patch 8.13 does not seem to bring the desired rebirth for the challengers. Selfie and his team mates were able to put together a creative team composition but even with Talon and Kindred in their repertoire they couldn't compete against the strong Vitality team on the first matchday of the week.
The performance curve of the Unicorns of Love showed a strong upward trend in Week 2 before Team Vitality and G2 Esports put another damper on the team last week. Nevertheless, H2K is still the underdog of the league and definitely the outsider in this duel. I expect a narrow 0-1 victory for the Unicorns of Love.
Match #2: Team ROCCAT vs. Fnatic
July 14th, 10:00 AM PT / 01:00 PM ET / 19:00 CEST
Prediction: Team ROCCAT had a whole week to watch Caps and his team mates at the Rift Rivals 2018 tournament and analyse their playstyle. This is definitely an advantage that the team must also take advantage of in order to win against the winners of the 2018 Spring Split. AD-Carry Rekkles is already waiting in the wings for his return to the team but LoL Patch 8.13 also doesn't seem to bring back AD carries on Summoner's Rift.
Although the Swedish superstar is now training mages for the botlane, toplaner Bwipo still has a seemingly larger champion pool. Nevertheless the reigning champions of the LCS are the favourites for this duel, I expect a 0-1 victory for Fnatic.
Match #3: G2 Esports vs. Giants Gaming
July 14th, 11:00 AM PT / 02:00 PM ET / 20:00 CEST
With a fantastic start into the group stage of the 2018 Rift Rivals the challengers of the G2 Esports team made their first international statement – before the old curse struck again in the playoff phase of the tournament. The final destination of Perkz and Co was Echo Fox this time, luckily the other European teams were able to convince and quickly put an end to the competition from overseas. With a week's information advantage and more time for training matches the Misfits used their advantages on the first matchday of the week to throw G2 Esports out of the Summoner's Rift.
With six victories and one defeat the warriors are still in second place in the standings but the clean west is finally tainted and other opponents already sense weaknesses in G2 Esports' gameplay. On the other side of the rift you find Giants Gaming – with only one victory out of seven duels Betsy and his team mates find each other at the penultimate place of the table. The last two weeks have been difficult and with G2 Esports there is another dangerous opponent waiting on the battlefields. If you take a look at the line-up of the two teams the players in the jerseys of Giants Gaming are outclassed in every position by their opponents, even with last week's training advantage it will be a difficult match for the challengers.
Prediction: G2 Esports is still among the strongest teams in the European LCS and Perkz and his team mates are considered hot contenders for the Summer Split title. For Giants Gaming it will be hard to even reach the playoff stage of the season. In this match I expect a 1-0 victory for G2 Esports.
Match #4: Splyce vs. FC Schalke 04
July 14th, 12:00 PM PT / 03:00 PM ET / 21:00 CEST
Prediction: The Splyce team is definitely on the upswing – after a weak start into the season with four defeats Xerxe and his team mates have won the last three matches. The 2018 Rift Rivals were also tough for the team but after an unsuccessful group stage they found their flow in the decisive phase and eliminated the North American leaders of Team Liquid from the event. The victory against Fnatic on the first matchday of the weak was just the cherry on the top of the cake. But the FC Schalke 04 is also in good shape, after their last performances these two teams meet at eye level. Based on the results of the previous day I expect a narrow 1-0 victory for Splyce.
Match #5: Team Vitality vs. Misfits
July 14th, 01:00 PM PT / 04:00 PM ET / 22:00 CEST
Prediction: In the top game of the day two young and creative teams clash against each other on Summoner's Rift: Team Vitality takes on the top team Misfits. With the victory over G2 Esports Maxlore and his team mates could finally put on the ribbon of the currently best European team, in this high-class duel the challengers are of course considered as favourites. Despite the quality of these two teams, there is no way to bet against Sencux and his team and also the betting odds speak for themselves. I expect a narrow 0-1 victory for the Misfits.

THAILAND Overview Thailand is located in Southeast Asia between Burma, Laos, and Cambodia. Thailand is approximately 514,000 square kilometers. Thailand is made up of all types of land. The main land is the central plains, which is surrounded by the Mae Nam River and its tributaries. Northeast of here are the plateaus and the Mekong river. Mountains run along the north and west borders, and the rain forest peninsula is in the south. Thailand has a tropical monsoon climate, and usually the south gets the most rain and the north gets the least amount of rain.
Thailand's formal name is the "Kingdom of Thailand"ÃÂ, but everybody calls it Thailand for short. The capital of Thailand is Bangkok. There are over 60 million people living in Thailand today. Most the population is Thai (85%), but there are also Chinese (11%), Laos (1%), Malays (3-4%), and other nationalities from Southeast Asia. Most of the core Thai's in Thailand practice Buddhism, but Islam and Christianity are also practiced among the Malays, hill people, and Vietnamese.
Education is important in Thailand. "Government supports universal free primary education. Most children attend school several years, and more than 85 percent of [the] population [is] literate"ÃÂ ("Thailand,"ÃÂ XV). Thailand has been an independent country for most of its history.
Prostitution and AIDS One of the main global issues facing Thailand is prostitution, which eventually leads to AIDS. Prostitution is illegal in Thailand, "but the operation of a facility where prostitution occurs is not"ÃÂ(Slagter). Prostitution is tolerated in Thailand and is encouraged in official circles. The owners who run prostitution rings, sometimes high-level government officials, are not breaking the law; it's the actual prostitute who is breaking the law.
Most of the women in this occupation are between the ages of 15 and 29. There are between 200...

Over the past two and a half years, the Occidental men's golf team has been steadily climbing out of the cellar, moving from last to fourth place. During this ascent, team captain Colton Bares (junior) acted as the cornerstone of the team, playing in the top spot for the Tigers in each of the past two seasons. With the addition of several talented first years, Bares' consistent play and contagious work ethic, the Tigers are poised to climb even higher.
Despite his success as a collegiate golfer and passion for the game, Bares found his initial interest in sports on the baseball diamond rather than the putting green.
"When I was 13 years old, baseball was my favorite sport, and I was a Little League all-star pitcher," Bares said. "It was not until sixth grade that I started to play golf, and that was mainly because I injured my arm while playing baseball and had to get Tommy John surgery."
Following his transition to golf, Bares did not enter a competitive match until he joined the Pinewood High golf team in Los Altos in his first year of high school. However, standing at 6-foot-7. Bares had a unique advantage over the majority of other players; he was able to use his height to generate greater swing speed and distance.
His natural talent, lanky body type and relentless work ethic enabled him to rapidly develop into a competitive player, as he claimed first team all-league honors in his junior and senior years of high school.
Bares continued to develop his game his first year at Occidental. In his first collegiate event, he posted a 78 to claim the top score for the Tigers. Following his first collegiate tournament, Bares moved into the number one position and became the anchor for Occidental.
In his second year, Bares continued to hold the top spot in the Tigers lineup. He claimed second team All-SCIAC honors while posting the low score at the team's first place finish in the Occidental Challenge at Torrey Pines. Despite his solid play, Bares still felt he had room for improvement.
"My short game has always been solid, so if I can improve my game from tee-to-green and stay mentally strong, I think I can finish in the top 10 for the remainder of the events this season," Bares said.
The extra effort Bares put in during his practice is already noticeable through the first few tournaments of the season. At the Blazer Invitational, Bares tied with teammate Will Mansfield (first year) as the low-medalist with a two-day total of 146. Later, in the first conference tournament of the year, Bares posted the second best score on the team (162), one stroke behind sophomore teammate Dylan Jirsa (161).
"He has grown into both a strong player and leader who has the ability to be one of the best in the country if he chooses to and continues to work," former Occidental golf head coach Andrew Larkin said.
As the sole upperclassman on a young team, Bares helps his younger teammates with the difficulties of managing academics and the demanding golf practice schedule. During practice, Bares pushes his teammates to work hard and focus on developing their game while also helping to create a positive atmosphere.
"I think he expects a lot out of the guys and to that end he is hard on some of the guys in a way that makes you want to get better for the team," Jirsa said. "He is like the team character, easy going and keeps the mood light."
When Bares is not on the golf course, he enjoys spending his time playing tennis or attending other sporting events. But during the school year Bares does not have as much time to partake in other sports, as he is busy juggling his biology major with golf practice and matches.
Following graduation, Bares hopes either to continue his education and later enter the medical field or to shift gears and enter the business-oriented side of biology by working for a biotech company.
But not one to look too far into the future, Bares is focused on the current golf season and the continued progression of Occidental's place within the SCIAC rankings.
"We have a lot of young guys on the team this year, but we are very talented and I think a third place finish in conference is definitely doable," Bares said.
The next time Bares and the rest of the Tigers tee it up will be March 27, when they will head to Morongo Golf Club for the West Cup hosted by La Verne.

Former Forest, Derby and Villa waster Gary Charles is behind bars after failing to control his self-confessed alcoholism. The twice-capped rightback flirted with prison after attacking a woman in a taxi-rank earlier in the year – and was warned that any similar types of offence would lead to a spell inside. Instead he had a community service order which he fulfilled.
Unfortunately, his self-control was about as good as the dodgy performances I remember from him in a Forest shirt, he got pissed again earlier this month and threatened a doorman for reasons as yet undermined. The judge said "There really does come a time when the police and everyone else has to have a rest from Gary Charles. I hope it knocks some sense into his head." Hmm, here's hoping!
Part of me finds Gary Charles almost twice-yearly humiliations quite funny; admittedly he set the bar quite high when being found in his car covered in his own faeces, but he seems to find new and interesting ways to make an idiot out of himself; but more overwhelmingly I feel sorry for him – he wasn't the most gifted player I've ever seen, but he has clearly struggled to come to terms with alcoholism – hopefully a stretch inside will help to straighten him out.
My abiding memory of Gary Charles will always be a trip to the Baseball Ground, when a Steve Stone shot was deflected over the despairing keeper by a certain hapless right-back – creating chants of "Nice one Gary! Nice one Son! Nice one Gary! Let's 'ave another one!". Happy days!

Homeschooling shows what's great about American democracy, yet also where our national education system needs to improve.
Fifteen years ago, the homeschooling movement seemed small, obscure, and, frankly, a bit scary. As a group, they seemed to be running away from the "immoral" public school system, and you were as likely to find them on a ramshackle farm in the middle of nowhere as doing seventh-grade Algebra at a kitchen table (and in some extreme cases, featured in publications like Slate using it as a front to neglect and abuse their kids).
In short, the homeschooling movement was brushed off as too quirky and fringe to be taken seriously. But fast forward, and the movement is burgeoning: It represents much of what is great about American democracy, and simultaneously shows what is good and what's going wrong with education in America today.
Homeschooling Is Growing Ridiculously Fast
Last year, USA Today reported that in 1999, homeschoolers made up a tiny sect of the American population. "An estimated 850,000 students nationwide were being homeschooled. By 2011-12, that number had more than doubled to 1.77 million." According to a recently released Florida Department of Education report, "The number of homeschooled children in Florida saw its biggest increase in five years during 2014-15. Last year, the state counted 84,096 children in home schooling, up 9.6 percent from a year earlier."
The reasons? According to the U.S. Department of Education, roughly nine out of ten parents who homeschooled their children g the 2011-12 school year said school environment, meaning safety, drugs, and peer pressure, contributed to their decision.
While the growth of the homeschooling movement is positive, it isn't for everyone. For students who attend public school, the very reasons some of their peers are homeschooled demonstrate the need for the public school system to improve.
Choosing A Different Path

Two explosions rocked Kandahar on Tuesday, the second day of deadly blasts in the southern Afghan city where Taliban insurgents are fighting back against U.S. and Afghan forces pushing into areas long held by the insurgents.
A car bomb and a second, smaller blast killed nine people, including one Afghan policeman, Kandahar provincial health director Qayum Pokhla said. Another 26 people were wounded, including police officers.
On Monday night, three explosions, just minutes apart, killed three Afghan police officers in the city.
When police gathered to tend to the wounded after the first blast, two more explosions occurred, said Zelmai Ayubi, spokesman for the provincial governor of Kandahar.
Also Monday, Noor Ahman, deputy mayor in Kandahar, was killed in an insurgent attack and later in the day, Habibullah Aghonzada, a former district chief in Arghistan, was gunned down by assailants as he prayed at a packed mosque.
The NATO military coalition described the two as �dedicated public servants who sought to improve the lives of their fellow countrymen.�
Separately, NATO reported that a service member died in a homemade bomb explosion in the south. The coalition did not disclose the service member�s nationality or provide additional details of the death.
Control of Kandahar, the Taliban movement�s birthplace, is seen as key to reversing Taliban momentum in the war. Afghan and NATO forces are engaged in a major operation to improve security in and around Kandahar to keep insurgents from staging attacks inside the city.
Early Tuesday in Arghandab district outside Kandahar, NATO said it captured a Taliban leader suspected of coordinating attacks and arming Taliban fighters.
Trying to keep their grip on their stronghold, the Taliban are fighting with both weapons and rhetoric.
�America is operating in the districts of Kandahar, but the result will be that they will walk out with blood-filled, empty hands,� Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef said.
�They could not achieve victory in nearly a decade,� he said, noting that the war enters a tenth year on Thursday. �This shows they never will.�
The NATO coalition is fighting an uphill battle to win the allegiance of people in Kandahar.
�When only the Taliban were ruling our land there was peace and tranquility. Since the Americans have set foot on our land, we don�t have work and our health is no better,� said Naseebullah Ghamjam, a 38-year-old laborer. �All we have seen is that Americans have constructed exceptionally massive compounds for themselves.�
Azizullah Saiyal, 29, who drives heavy vehicles in Zhari district outside of Kandahar, said citizens have little trust in the international community or Afghan government officials.
�We hear that millions and billions of dollars are coming in our country, but where does all of the money go?� he asked.
�I believe these years of war and loss of innocent lives makes it obvious that war can never bring in peace. We should start looking for alternatives now,� said Saiyal.

|Corvus (1)
Until its rediscovery in 2007, the Banggai crow (Corvus unicolor) was known from only two specimens thought to be collected as long ago as 1884 or 1885, and was suspected to be extinct (3) (4) (5).
This medium-sized crow is entirely black with a light iris and relatively short tail. The slender-billed crow (Corvus enca) is very similar to the Banggai crow, but can be distinguished by its larger overall size, bigger bill and proportionately longer tail (2).
No information exists on the social, reproductive or feeding behaviour of the Banggai crow (4).
The two original specimens of the Banggai crow were taken from an unspecified island in the Banggai archipelago, immediately east of Sulawesi, Indonesia (2) (3) (4).
Visits to the Banggai islands in 1981, 1991 and 1996 yielded no definite records of this species, but observations of black crows on Banggai Island in 1981, and a small crow seen at the western end of Peleng Island (within Banggai archipelago) in 1991 gave hope that the species still occurred (4). This hope was fulfilled when, in 2007, further surveys of Peleng Island successfully located two specimens of Banggai crow (5).
The Banggai crow occupies montane forest (5).
The Banggai crow is classified as Critically Endangered (CR) on the IUCN Red List (1).
Based on the small number of records for this species, and the rapid rates of habitat loss within its range, the Banggai crow is likely to have only a very small population (2). Unfortunately, it remains hunted by local residents of Peleng Island (5).
In addition, extensive deforestation threatens to claim the last remaining areas of this species' habitat (2) (3) (4). The Banggai crow may also be affected by competition with the slender-billed crow (C. enca) (3).
Following its rediscovery, conservation efforts are being undertaken to protect the Banggai crow and its forest habitat, promoting sustainable agriculture, and possibly eco-tourism, as well as educating local people about the bird's plight (2) (5).
Along with these efforts, further surveys and the establishment of a protected area are necessary to ensure that the Banggai crow is not lost again (2).
For further information on the Banggai crow see:

The Francine L. Bustin Memorial Fund allows Milton's modern languages department to host scholars, lecturers, artists and musicians. Mme. Bustin, for whom this fund is named, taught French at Milton from 1973 to 1984. Thanks to the generosity of the Lehner family and friends of Mme. Bustin, the Bustin Memorial Fund exists "to enrich and enhance the French language which Mme. Bustin taught with such eloquence." The Fund's primary purpose is to help the Modern Language Department host scholars, lecturers, artists and musicians on campus. The Bustin Memorial Fund may also support the French Exchange Program to ensure that deserving students gain access to this significant culturally-enriching educational experience.
Québécoise singer/songwriter and pianist Béatrice Martin makes cinematic French pop as Cœur de Pirate. She became a star in French-speaking Europe with the success of her 2008 self-titled debut, which featured the hit single "Comme des Enfants." Her 2010 duet with Julien Doré, "Pour un Infidèle," went all the way to number one in France. That was followed by a string of hit albums that also did well in Canada, including 2015's Roses, her first to be split between French- and English-language tracks.
Born on September 22, 1989, in Quebec, Canada, Martin began playing piano at age three and was educated in Montreal. She began her recording career in 2007, posting demo versions of her songs on MySpace. Around this same time, she began playing keyboards in the acclaimed Montreal-based indie pop band Bonjour Brumaire. As a solo artist, she made her full-length album debut in 2008 with the eponymous Cœur de Pirate album on the Grosse Boîte label. While the album was championed right away by indie pop scenesters in Quebec, it caught on more steadily from a commercial standpoint and was given a big boost when photographer Francis Vachon used the album track "Ensemble" in a YouTube video that became a viral hit on the Internet. Nominated for Francophone Album of the Year at the 2009 Juno Awards, Cœur de Pirate was released in France in 2009 in association with Universal Music. It became a big hit there, reaching the Top Ten of the French albums chart for several weeks in summer 2009 and spawning the Top Five hit single "Comme des Enfants." The French version of Cœur de Pirate features a duet with Nouvelle Star season five winner Julien Doré on the song "Pour un Infidèle," whereas the Canadian version features a duet with Jimmy Hunt. The French version of the song topped the singles chart in France.
In addition to her solo work as Cœur de Pirate, Martin founded Pearls, an English-language side project that made its debut on MySpace. Another collaboration, Armistice, featured Bedouin Soundclash's Jay Malinowski and members of the Bronx; the group released an EP in 2011. Late that year, Cœur de Pirate's second album, Blonde, saw release and reached the Top Five in France, Canada, and Belgium. Martin announced she was pregnant in February 2012, giving birth to a daughter that September. For a while afterward, Martin focused on soundtrack work, writing music for Radio-Canada's medical TV drama Trauma in 2013 and the Ubisoft video game Child of Light in 2014. The following year, she returned with Roses, the first Cœur de Pirate album to feature half its songs in English and half in French. In 2016, she performed in Les Souliers Rouges, a musical retelling of Michael Powell's film The Red Shoes that also featured songs written and performed by Marc Lavoine and Arthur H, and music by composer Fabrice Aboulker. That year, Martin also divorced and came out as queer via an open letter. Those events informed Cœur de Pirate's more introspective fourth studio LP, 2018's En Cas de Tempête, Ce Jardin Sera Fermé.

I've always been a deal junkie. Thrift stores and flea markets have evolved into mostly craigslist and ebay, but the deal hunting has never stopped. I'm going to relate my most recent experience of getting paid to buy a Playstation Vita. I should say PS VitaS, since this process involved multiple purchases, but let's keep things simple for now.
Ebay can be a goldmine for buying games and systems, but only if you know how to use it. The quickest, easiest thing you can do to find the best deals is to use the Buy It Now option while searching for "newly listed." The reality of auction sites nowadays is that everyone knows about them, and therefore the "deals" become less of a deal as more and more people bid on them. Of course, there is an exception to this; if your item is fairly rare and doesn't often appear on ebay, then you may be forced to take this conventional auction approach. But if your desired item has decent representation on Ebay, then I would use the BIN strategy.
Ideally, you can use both approaches to your advantage. I've already described how to use BIN, but auctions are a different story. Here, what you'll look for is items that have vague descriptions, or that end are really odd times. This means you may have to broaden your search criteria, but it can really pay off.
Another consideration is trends for when prices rise and fall overall on ebay. I remember reading an article that cited research that prices tend to elevate in the middle of the week, and decrease during the weekend. Presumably, this is because people are out doing things during the weekend instead of sitting at home staring at their computer, but the reason isn't important: What's important is that it's generally true. So when I sell, I list so that my auction will end on a Wednesday, and when I buy I pay extra attention on the weekends, especially late at night.
Finally, knowing how expensive things are makes all the difference. If you don't realize how much it costs, then someone else will, and they'll snatch up that BIN before you can think twice. Know your market!
So, to the question at hand: How did I get paid to buy a Vita?
My first purchase was through searching for "Vita" using my most often effective method of BIN and newly listed. I thought white models looked better than black at the time, hence I refined to "white vita." Anyone who works at a computer can perform this search regularly: Just have a separate window open with the search parameters selected, and periodically (I usually do once every hour or two) just re-click "search." It's quite simple and very effective in my experience.
I eventually had a BIN option pop up with a nice folio case ($50 new on Amazon), a white oled model, a 16gb card, and Uncharted for $150. As white oled vitas are always more expensive then their black counterparts (probably because they were produced in smaller quantities), this was a good deal, and I completed the BIN and had my new unit in about a week. Not a bad start!
However, I found I really didn't like the feel of the oled version as much as I thought that I would. The buttons sunk in like I'm pressing a wet noodle, especially the L/R buttons. The start and select were hard to press, as was the volume buttons.
Next time I was at a Gamestop, I talked to the manager about vitas for a bit and he let me try his new version. It was like night and day. You can see my article about why I liked the newer vita better, but the short story is that it's better in every way except for the screen. However, the screen wasn't a deal breaker given all the other positives, so I began my search for another vita, this time the newer model.
I found a newer version of the vita by simply searching for "Vita" and "newly listed" under the consoles category. However, it wasn't labeled as the new model, and it had a fairly fuzzy picture, to the point where you had to look really close to see if those select and start buttons were ovular (old model) or circular (new model). Through closer examination I found that it was the newer model. The auction had the added benefit of ending around 11pm at night on the west coast, so it was unlikely that most of the country would stay up to bid in the wee hours of the morning. I followed the auction, and ended up paying $81 for a new version of the vita, including an 8gb memory card and charging cable.
Now, using this approach, because of the bad pictures I couldn't tell if there were any scratches on the screen, and I ended up with a newer vita that had a few very faint scratches on the screen. Even though I couldn't see any of the scratches with the screen turned on, I had good success buying the last two models, so I went on the hunt for a perfect condition newer model vita. Now is the winter of my discontent…or something…I just wasn't happy with it.
So, I began the search for a new vita. At this point, I have already sold my first vita for $220 on Ebay. Admittedly, that included a bit more than the original auction – I threw in Little Big Planet Vita, WipeOut 2048, MLB 12 The Show, and the cradle. I kept Uncharted. Still, I was pretty happy with the exchange. At this point, my investment looks like the following:
Original purchases: -$150 for system/Uncharted, -$11 for LBP, -$4 for MLB The Show, -$6 for WipeOut 2048, and -$13 for the cradle.
Net: -$184
Sold white Vita, MLB, LBP, WipeOut, and cradle: $220
Net: +$36
Bought newer vita model/charger: $81
Net: -$45
At this point, things are looking pretty good. I've spent $45 to buy a newer version of the vita, and it's in pretty good shape, and I'm ready to play. But those scratches slowly ate away at me, until I just decided I'd keep an eye out for another deal…just in case. Boy did I find one.
Using the newly listed BIN approach, I ended up buying a like new newer model Vita for $184. Expensive, right? Well, the catch is that this came with a 64gb card, an 8gb card, AND the same deluxe folio case I got with my original purchase. As I knew that the 64 gb card tends to go for about $90, this ended up being quite a deal.
Great deal or not, there simply isn't enough Vita games for me to fill up a card that size, so I put it up for sale and collected a quick $87. I then sold the second Vita I had bought (with faint scratches on the screen) with the folio case from the final version I bought, and included an 8gb card. That went for $164, so at this point my investment looks like this:
Original purchases: -$150 for system/Uncharted, -$11 for LBP, -$4 for MLB The Show, -$6 for WipeOut 2048, and -$13 for the cradle.
Net: -$184
Sold white Vita, MLB, LBP, WipeOut, and cradle: +$220
Net: +$36
Bought newer vita model/charger: +$81
Net: -$45
Bought newer vita in better condition with 64gb card: -$184
Net: -$229
Sold newer vita with faint scratches/charger: +$164
Net: -$75
Sold 64gb card: +$87
Net: +$12
Admittedly, I had some luck, and I also had a collection of stamps given to me that allowed me to ship for free, thus my decision to not detract those costs. Still, there's some good tactics here that can, at the very least, help you get a lot more for your money. To recap, I bought a like-new PS Vita 2000 with 16gb, charger, and Uncharted…for a net gain of $12. And now you can too!

Heaven Bangkok
Since the opening last year Heaven Bangkok have made a big buzz in Bangkok Party scene. The opening was one of the biggest of the year. Heaven Bangkok is a huge dining and entertainment complex on top the Zen shopping complex. Four floors of 2 restaurant and 2 bars; Zense Gourmet deck serves five types of cuisine from 5 well known restaurants. Shintori is a Japanese restaurant franchise serving elegant Japanese cuisine. Horizon a Tapas bar with DJ both equipped with state for the art sound and lighting system. Heaven on Zen is a champagne bar that offers spectacular views of the city. Actually all the outlets have outdoor seating and provide amazing views of the city.
While we were doing some shopping at Central World, deciding what to get was a big chore which made us really tired and hungry. We wanted to chill out and get the feel of Bangkok. There were tons restaurants and bars in Central World but none will do justice for the headache of shopping we had. The only option was to go to Heaven.
We started with some drinks at Horizon. There were many drinks, creative cocktails and original tapas to choose from. One of the cocktails we had was a coffee blended cocktail priced around 200 baht. It was really good it had nice aroma of coffee and too sweet.
The tapas we tried were the pad krapao lamb on crunchy wonton. The lamb was tender and spicy with a nice kick from the chilies, the crunchy wonton gave it an interesting texture. Seating outside, the ambiance was just perfect, there was some breeze. The changing of evening lights made it magical.
After the sunset we move down to Zenses Gourmet Deck. There were many seating arrangements here; we went for the indoor table right by the window. Right away the manager khun Chalermkiat suggested us to start off with some wine. Taras, Bin 383, Cabernat Sauvignon (395/glass).
The menus had choices from 5 restaurants each restaurant had about 10-30 items. The Thai menu is from White Café, European menu is from To Die For, Indian is from Red, and Italian menu is from Gianni. Also guest can order items from Shintori's menu the Japanese restaurant one floor above.
Since we were having wine, we avoided Thai and Indian, also it would be too many flavor profiles to handle for one night. The first dish was a large combo appetizer plate "To Die for Platter" (1350).
It combines Duck foi gras with truffle salt and pear tart, crab cakes, blacken Hokkaido Cajun scallops and baked Manila clams. It was a nice dish for sharing with many varieties of flavors, textures and aromas.
From Shintori we had the Avocado & tuna paste cocktail (320). It was light but flavorful, the tuna and avocado comes together with the home made shoyu base sauce.
For the mains we had 2 dishes from Gianni, Lemon Sole (690) grilled with white wine, lemon and capers, a beautiful dish, nicely presented. It had an intense flavor of fish goes together well with lemon and caper sauce serve with spinach, broccoli, potatoes and tomatoes, a very healthy dish.
Agnello New Zealand lamb chops 350 grams (990), was perfectly grilled nice crust outside, inside still pink. It was tender, smoky and savory served with grilled vegetables and mash potatoes.
To end the meal before the dessert we had Yellow tail (650). It was a nice size firm and fresh, it was soft at the same time it had a little crunch on the bite. It was very delicate.
Khun Chalermkiat suggest some sparkling wine by the glass to go with the dessert McGuigan Black label Chardonnay Brut (395)
Yuzu cheese cake (195) served with passion fruit, mango sherbet and tropical fruit cubes. I thought being a cheese cake it would be heavy but I was wrong. The cheese was creamy and had full flavor of cheese cake, it was well balanced with the sherbet and fruits.
Heaven Bangkok is one of those places that is right for any occasion. It has the ambiance for any mood, whether it's fine dining, romantic, relaxed, party and the list goes on.
Heaven Bangokok: Open daily 5:30 p.m. till late.

The first book in Flynn Heath's magical world of amazing powers, dark demons, a perfectly mundane family at home and extraordinary friends at his new school, which happens to be a Demon Slayer Academy.
Flynn Heath is just an ordinary boy, living a very ordinary life in the perfectly pleasant village of Little Rislin. Until, one day, he mistakenly pledges his blood, honour and soul to a mysterious stranger and before he knows it, he's enrolled into the finest (and only) demon slayer academy in the country.
But there's a dark force swimming through the demon-infested undertow of the ordinary world, a king demon shaking loose the shackles that have him bound in Hades. Maybe Flynn's pledge wasn't some random mistake after all.
Sometimes, there's a very good reason for a slayer to stay forgotten.

While Knickerbocker and Hatter Royale are familiar names in the NHAS line-up, the distillery's release of Clockwork Orange, an orange liqueur, is something altogether different.
"Citrus flavor is a bedrock of classic cocktails, and traditionally, the best orange liqueurs have been imported from France," says vice president of sales and marketing, Fred Bueltmann. "Necessity is the mother of all invention I guess, and since our pub is limited by law to only serve the spirits we make, we set out to make the best American craft orange liqueur we could imagine."
Clockwork Orange has been behind the bar at New Holland for years, however, the wonderful play off of the citrus and spices, are now available to the distillery's entire market.
Bueltmann goes on, "Plus, I've got to tell you – a margarita made with Hatter Royale and Clockwork Orange – it's a thing of beauty."
Other spring spirit releases includes the patriarch of New Holland's whiskey program, Zeppelin Bend – a straight malt whiskey – that's popularity has led to two releases annually. This release of Zeppelin Bend is particularly special, as it is the last batch that was made on NHAS's original still, which now resides at the downtown Holland pub for micro-distilling.
There's also Bill's Michigan Wheat Whiskey – a nod to local agriculture, made with wheat grown and malted in our state of Michigan and named after distilling icon, Bill Owens; and Double Down Barley Whiskey, our first offering from our now popular Brewers' Whiskey series, will be sporting a new label along with finding its way into 750ml bottles.
"Since 2005, New Holland Artisan Spirits has been doing important work," says VanderKamp. "Creating drinks that elevate everyday occasions into unique experiences. Art can change the world. That might sound a little lofty, but we really believe when people taste what we create, it will change their understanding of what spirits can be."

Information about the British Grand Prix:
The British Grand Prix is a race in the calendar of the FIA Formula One World Championship. It is currently held at the Silverstone Circuit near the village of Silverstone in Northamptonshire in England. Silverstone Circuit is a motor racing circuit in England next to the Northamptonshire villages of Silverstone and Whittlebury. The circuit straddles the Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire border, with the current main circuit entry on the Buckinghamshire side. The Northamptonshire towns of Towcester (5 miles) and Brackley (7 miles) and Buckinghamshire town of Buckingham (6 miles) are close by, and the nearest large towns are Northampton and Milton Keynes.
There is an inextricable link between England and Formula One racing. Take three facts: (1) Silverstone is the oldest race on the calendar; (2) England is home – in full or in part – to seven of the teams (McLaren, Williams, Red Bull, Lotus, Force India, Mercedes and Marussia) and (3) the sport's commercial management is based in London. The UK has a unique blend of beautiful countryside, great cities and some mouth watering architecture, making it a must-see for all travellers. And London, in the words of Hollywood star Samuel L Jackson, is 'just cool'. From a driver's perspective, Silverstone's 5.8 kilometres are some of the most formidable on the Formula One calendar. The track, a former World War II aerodrome, is fast and a quick lap time requires bravery and finesse.
With the closest train stations half an hour's drive from the track, road is the easiest method of getting to Silverstone, which is located around 130 kilometres north of London's two main airports, Heathrow and Gatwick, both of which are connected to London city centre by express train links. The other way into Silverstone is by air – helicopter is the preferred mode of transport for those who can afford it and on race day the circuit becomes the UK's busiest airport. Hang around on Sunday for the post-race party. It's now an annual affair and usually involves some of the drivers – and is a good way to miss any traffic.
Silverstone is situated in the heart of the Midlands and, compared with many countries, nowhere in the UK is that far away. To the south, the sights of London, such as Buckingham Palace, St Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey, are barely an hour and a half's journey by car. And from there, a one-hour flight can take you to the natural beauty of Scotland.
Dress Code: Smart casual attire is recommended, i.e. long trousers and a polo shirt for men. The Formula One Paddock Club requests that no jogging suits, shorts or beach attire be worn.
Children: Formula One Hospitality and Event Services reserves the right not to admit children aged 7 years or under into the Formula One Paddock Club. If permission is granted, the child must also have a ticket.
