I'm sure many of you have been in and looked around the product database. We've kept it up to date with every Ultrabook and it's been extremely popular. 20% of our site traffic is now going to the database.
Over the last year we've built tools around the database to try and make it easier for you to find what you're looking for but today I updated the interactive list with a couple of new features that will help you navigate through the next wave of Ultrabooks that will be offering more features in new form factors.
The Ultrabook database is here.
There are 106 Ultrabooks and ultrathins in our database now, 69 of which are true Ultrabooks. Along with the specifications of each device we include links to videos, news and reviews along with images, a related products list, comments, some notes and a short overview. Where prices are available we list the RRP and for those of you in the USA, UK or Germany, you'll see the latest price at Amazon too. [Buying through those links is your way to help keep Ultrabooknews growing and developing!] I've also enabled a trend graph which (it needs a week to stabilise after our test data was fed in) gives you an idea of the popularity and growth in terms of reader interest.
It's the most comprehensive Ultrabook database on the planet!
Your starting point for Ultrabook research is here and today I've added some new selectors that will help as the new range of touch options and form factors start to feed in. Wait for the list to load and type 'acer' to see all the acer devices. Click on the weight column to sort by weight, or the CPU Operating System column to sort that. Pull down the Form Factor chooser to select Sliders or Convertibles and even choose your Touchscreen type. It's all instant!
We'll add more selectors as we go forward.
Inside tip: We've got a very rough but complete selector page here where you can drill down into a number of different specifications. Want a Core i7, 13.3" with DisplayPort? You'll find it here. Note, this is an Alpha page that needs a lot of tidying up. It's working though so there's no reason to keep it hidden from you.
What other features or selectors would you like to see on the database?
We know that the compare function isn't working at the moment. It's on our list! Update: Compare function is now working.
Don't forget the Ultrabook Advisor too. Just a few minutes answering questions will bring you to a shortlist of Ultrabooks that match your specifications.

Sustainability Policy
Landmark Press complies with all relevant environmental legislation and best practice. We see this requirement as a minimum and we do much more to ensure sustainability.
We have designated staff who regularly review our approach to every aspect of our business with a view to minimising the environmental impact and increasing sustainability. This includes our approach to: energy consumption, procurement, usage and disposal of all materials, transportation and logistics planning. It also includes our approach to recruitment and community.
A summary of our environmental practices are listed below:
- Compliance with environmental legislation / best practice guidelines
- Designated staff with responsibility for environmental initiatives
- Use of environmentally friendly materials wherever possible
- Procurement and use of recycling/recycled materials / materials from sustainable resources
- Recycling collections undertaken on behalf of Landmark Press: distribution and office waste; employee recyclable domestic products
- Landmark Press holds a SEPA license which allows us to pick and carry controlled waste (i.e. we pick up products for recycling from other local businesses).
- Green Fleet Initiative
- Ongoing investigation of bio fuels and renewable energy
- Energy Saving Trust Initiatives:
- Fuel Efficient Driver training undertaken by sales and distribution staff (we were one of the first private sector companies to do this)
- property evaluation and action plan undertaken and acted upon
- One of only 10 businesses selected to take part in Carbon Trust Carbon Management Programme business pilot in the Highlands and one of the first in Scotland to complete the Programme
- Zero Waste Scotland: SME training and certification undertaken
- VIBES Award 2012 category finalist
- Use of public transport rather than car where possible to attend meetings
- Use of couriers rather than dedicated Landmark Press delivery van wherever possible
- Distribution vehicles undertake multi-purpose journeys wherever possible
- Regular servicing and replacement of vehicles for optimum efficiency and minimisation of emissions
- Insulation of warehouse facilities ensures ambient temperature for storage of stock without the need to use energy in heating these huge spaces
- Skylights in warehouses and lots of windows in offices facilitate maximum use of daylight without need for artificial lighting during most of the year.
- Water heaters and radiators thermostatically controlled to minimise wastage
- Recent extension at Landmark Press included increased insulation and windows to minimise heating and lighting requirements
- Buildings are heated by environmentally renewable Hydro electricity.
- Network printer/bizhub –much more energy efficient than multiple printers. Colour and single sided printing is by exception
- Invoicing, statements, Christmas Cards and the majority of our sales and marketing information is sent electronically rather than mailed to reduce the environmental impact
- Phone conferences are used for communication with third parties in preference to travelling to meetings wherever possible and practical
- Public transport is not an option for Landmark Press staff in Carrbridge, however we have a policy of only advertising most jobs locally so that the travel to work journey is minimised and there is opportunity for car sharing
Our approach to specific service delivery is listed below:
Publication production
(Bedroom and Schools Folders, Scotland and Edinburgh Guides and Where to Stay in Scotland Guide)
- All Landmark Press publications are printed on paper from sustainable sources, this is currently more environmentally friendly than using recycled paper
- Landmark Press folders are used by many different people during their 12 month life
- Accommodation outlets and schools recycle their folders at the end of the year
- We reuse the cardboard boxes in which we pack our folders
- Landmark Press Guides contain a message encouraging visitors to recycle their copy after use, or to pass it on to someone else rather than throw it away.
Leaflet and poster distribution and display service
The distribution service we offer to Scottish tourism businesses means that a single van is used to transport many leaflets, rather than the alternative of an individual business distributing their leaflet singly.
- We run a fleet of modern well maintained, regularly serviced vehicles
- We recycle the cardboard boxes which contained our customers' leaflets and all out of date and surplus leaflet stock in an environmentally responsible manner
A summary of our approach to delivering community benefits and recruitment:
Visitor Centres Ltd is a major local employer in Badenoch and Strathspey (Landmark Forest Adventure Park (HQ); and Landmark Press). The company also employs significant numbers of management and support staff in Edinburgh and Inveraray.
In all cases we actively sustain local communities by our local recruitment policies and commitment to staff training and development.
We have had placements from The Shirley Project and Momentum Scotland (who help place people with special needs in employment situations).
We have had a great many excellent senior citizens as employees, and currently employ staff in their seventies. At the other end of the scale we have a pool of very young employees (from the age of 13). Their employment is monitored by the Council and schools. We provide these local youngsters with good employment experience in very real roles.
The following is a list of some examples of our contribution to the wider society – and to up-cycling:
- Company directors participate on a voluntary basis on local and national level boards
- Nominal price entry to Landmark Forest Adventure Park for all local children (with the money raised then contributed to the local primary school.) This policy has been in place over many years
- Company sponsorship of staff who participate in charity events
- Company proactive in establishing community events e.g. Carve Carrbridge which now raises significant funds for community good causes
- Christmas cards emailed to customers and suppliers – with a charitable donation equivalent to more than the cost that postage would have otherwise been
- Members of the community recycle Landmark Press pallets for free: innovative uses include a Yurt and a hen coop
- A fibreglass pipe which was formerly an attraction at Landmark Park is now a feature in the fun park the Lecht Snowsports' Centre
- A retired distribution van has been given a new lease of life as a comfortable motorhome
- When our elderly neighbour lost the power supply to his wooden caravan home, Landmark Press stepped in to reconnect him so he could remain in his home of 50 years
Leadership for staff on environmental and social responsibility is provided by the above examples of company practice. Training takes the form of environmentally friendly policies on purchasing, travel, recycling, etc. and the encouragement of best practice behaviour among staff to ensure lights and other appliances are not left on unnecessarily.

Why was the WellSAT Updated?
With the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA), the USDA set new standards for school nutrition and wellness policies. WellSAT 2.0 reflects new USDA school food requirements and current best practices in all areas of school wellness.
WellSAT 2.0: What's new?
Updates address:
Does the WellSAT 2.0 measure wellness policy implementation?
No, the WellSAT 2.0 measures the quality of written wellness policies only. The Rudd Center's WellSAT-i measures implementation. The WellSAT-i is currently a working draft. If you are interested in using the tool contact Margaret Read at firstname.lastname@example.com to inquire about costs and scheduling.
Why are my WellSAT 2.0 scores lower than my WellSAT scores?
National attention to school wellness has grown tremendously since the launch of the original WellSAT in 2010 and schools are being held to a higher standard than ever before. With the HHFKA the nation stepped up its commitment to safeguarding the health of school children. The WellSAT 2.0 reflects new USDA school food requirements and current best practices in all areas of school wellness. Don't be surprised if you start off with lower scores than you achieved working with the old WellSAT—expectations are higher now and we all have a lot of work to do!
How was the original WellSAT developed?
The WellSAT was developed by researchers at the Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity, in consultation with an advisory board comprising experts in nutrition, physical activity, education, public policy and public health. The WellSAT is an abbreviated version of the 96-item Comprehensive Coding System to Measure the Quality of School Wellness Policies. This tool was developed by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Healthy Eating Research Program working group. Membership included Marlene Schwartz, PhD (Connecticut), Anne Lund, RD and Mollie Greves Grow, MD (Washington), Elaine McDonnell, MS, RD and Claudia Probart, PhD, RD (Pennsylvania), and Anne Samuelson, MPH and Leslie Lytle, PhD, RD (Minnesota). Survey development methods for this tool have been published. A printable copy of the original WellSAT tool is available here.
Who should complete this assessment?
Why do I need to pay attention to "rating guidance"?
In order to generate meaningful information about the quality of your district wellness policy, it is strongly recommended that new users read "How to Rate Policy Statements" before completing the assessment. It is also recommended that you view the question-specific guidance provided to you by clicking on the ? button next to each question. Here you will find examples of wellness policy statements and how they should be scored.
Why should I be familiar with federal and state laws relevant to school wellness policies?
State and federal law may regulate items in this assessment tool. A positive district wellness policy assessment using this tool does not guarantee that your school district is in compliance with all state laws. We recommend a thorough review of your state's laws and regulations (see NASBE for state laws pertaining to wellness). Many times school districts are unaware of or unclear about some aspects of the law, and this is reflected in their policies. Here we provide examples of common errors.
Example statement from a Connecticut policy: "Schools shall offer low-fat (1%) and fat-free milk."Reason this is not in complete compliance with CT law: In the absence of further statements about milk, this policy would not indicate that milk will meet the specific requirements of state statute (CGS 10-221q), which specify that milk must contain no more than 4 grams of sugar per ounce and no artificial sweeteners, and is sold in portion sizes no larger than 12 fluid ounces.
What is a "competitive food?"
Section 3 addresses policies around "competitive foods." Competitive foods are foods SOLD outside of USDA school meals. This includes food and beverages sold a la carte in the cafeteria, from vending machines or school stores and any other sources on school premises.
How long will this assessment take me?
First time users can expect to spend approximately 45 minutes scoring a wellness policy; however, users who score more than one policy and become familiar with scoring instructions typically complete the survey in approximately 30 minutes.
Will the survey "time out" if I take a break?
The assessment "times out" after leaving it inactive for one hour; however, your work will not be lost. If your assessment has timed out, you will need to sign in again.
Can I exit the survey and come back to it another time?
Yes! When you sign in to return to an existing survey, you will be taken to the page where you left off.
How can I use the results of this assessment?
Use this tool to improve your district's district wellness policy! You will receive a personalized "scorecard" containing details of how well you scored on each section of the survey. You will be directed to resources (links) that will help you work on areas that are weak.

Now the title might say "good gaming PC build" but this build is more like "EPIC Gaming PC Build" because you get the best performance all at a right price. With a budget of $800 you can get the most bang out of all of the components. No need to sacrifice one part for another. You can get it all, every part that makes up this epic gaming PC build for all under $800.
If you're truly starting at this budget range, you deserve a round applause because we (PC gaming community) got ourselves another gamer with an epic gaming build. 😛
How Do You Build Your Own Computer?
Building your first computer might seem challenging and difficult at first but it really isn't. The process is really simple and easy. And when I say simple and easy, I really mean it. Like anyone can do it if they just watch couple videos and follow it step by step.
You really can't go wrong if you just follow my computer building guide and watch some of the videos there. Once you watch the videos, you will realize how simple and easy the building process really is.
Who is this "Mid Budget Gaming PC Machine" for?
The elite gamers who want the best performance in games without having to spend on a high budget build. Also if you plan to play games on high settings then this is the build for you. Honestly, this build is for anyone who is interested in PC gaming and anyone who enjoys playing games in good quality.
What This Good Gaming PC Build Has To Offer
This build has a lot of offer. The build is fully loaded with 7th gen Intel i5-7500 quad-core processor, ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 Mini 8GB, 8GB of RAM, 1TB of Hard drive, and 500W power supply. The processor will give you amazing speed and processing power. And the graphics card is one of the latest so it'll give you great rendering of games for best gaming experience. With this build you really get the best of everything.
Plus, with this build you won't have to worry about upgrades for couple years.
Okay, now that you know what it offers, lets get into the build itself!
The Optimal Parts For $800 Dollar Budget
The Build Overview
Total: $800~850
Note: Component prices fluctuate daily. Check the current pricing here
Brief Details
The DeepCool Tesseract SW is a great looking gaming case. The design is simple but effective. You get plenty of HDD or SSD storage space for whenever you decide to add more. There is cable management feature which is a must for most PC builders. And there are more fan mounts for additional fans if needed.
Processor (CPU):
The Intel Core i5-7500 is a powerful processor and it will deliver you great performance for hardcore gaming and daily computing. This CPU is one of the latest 7th gen processor by Intel so you know you are getting the latest and best.
Also lets not forget that it's a quad-core processor and not a dual-core processor. Quad-core will allow you to multi-task with more ease.
Motherboard (MOBO):
In order for your CPU and GPU to work well, you will need to have a motherboard that will be able to handle the workload. And what better motherboard than the MSI B250M PRO-VD. It's low priced and supports the new 7th gen processor in this build, and MSI makes great motherboards. All good reasons why B250M PRO-VD is a good choice.
Graphics Card (GPU):
The ZOTAC GTX 1070 Mini 8GB is a nice graphics card that will give you great gaming experience. This card is one of the top-tier graphic cards so it's able to handle most games in high to ultra settings at 1080p. The potential of this card beats the console systems right out of the water. It's slightly better than the older GTX 780 TI. Also the design is smaller than a regular size 1070 graphics card so it'll fit in most cases.
If you're looking for ultimate performance, you can look into the GTX 1080 cards which will out perform the GTX 1070. But the cost will be much more.
Memory (RAM):
For this build, you have 1 x 8GB of RAM. Personally this is enough for gaming and daily computing needs but you can always invest for another giving you 16GB (2x8GB). With the motherboard in this build, you have the potential to go up to 64GB which is overkill but doable.
Power Supply (PSU):
When it comes to power supply, EVGA is quite reliable. The EVGA 500 W1, 80+ will give you enough wattage to power this bad boy up. You won't need anything better unless you want to add in another graphics card or another component.
Hard Drive (HDD):
The WD 1TB hard drive is perfect for storing your games and other files. You really don't need more unless you plan to have a lot of files and programs. Best advice will be to go with 1TB first and get another later on if you require more.
Optical Drive or CD Burner (ODD):
For optical drives, you will just want to get the cheapest and that is what this build has. This will be able to handle your CD burning and operating system installation.
Operating System & Peripherals
Get an operating system that you're most comfortable and familiar with. I would recommend Windows 7 64bit or Windows 8.1 64bit for most people. You don't have to go with Windows 10 just because it's new, most of the times new means bugs in the computer world. So probably wait until Window 10 is bug free and you can upgrade to it.
(Note: I personally don't recommend any pirated or bootlegged version of Windows. You don't want to get viruses or your personal information stolen because of planted viruses and bugs. Go the safe route of buying the legit Windows version.)
The peripherals are yours to decide. You can go with any thing that fits your price. Most monitors should be around $100-300 dollars. For keyboard and mice, you can go the combo route or buy them separately. The choice is yours.
Internet Connection:(Wired or Wireless)
I recommend for people who don't want to spend more money to go with wired Ethernet cable route. This will give you the best performance online while gaming. You won't have to worry about disconnections or lags (on your part not servers).
IF you want to go wireless route, there is the PCI-E adapter route or USB wireless adapter route. But which ever you choose, when going wireless, you have another option of having a good router for good connections.
My Overall Thoughts
So if you want to experience a great gaming experience with PC games, then you should grab this good gaming PC build for under $800 dollars. You won't be disappoint with the power and performance this build will offer you.


text: Hi there! My question is very similar to Gary's but regarding a walnut tree. I do not know how hardy they are throughout the winter. Should I plant it in the garder, or bring it inside? I live near Vancouver, BC, so our summers are mild, but quite often the temperatures drop below zero. What would you recommend?

The possible miracle needed for the beatification of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen took another step toward papal recognition on June 17 when a panel of theologians met at the Vatican, the Archbishop Fulton Sheen Foundation has announced.
As a normal part of the sainthood process, the theologians met to consider whether or not the promoters of Archbishop Sheen's cause demonstrated that the proposed miracle — the survival of a child delivered stillborn – occurred after prayers for the intercession of Archbishop Sheen alone.
In March, a seven-member board of physicians convoked by the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints agreed that there was no natural explanation for why the child's heart started beating over an hour after his birth.
The child, James Fulton Engstrom, is now three years old and developing normally. His mother, Bonnie Engstrom, said she had no precomposed prayer asking for help from Archbishop Sheen. "I just kept repeating his name over and over in my head: Fulton Sheen, Fulton Sheen, Fulton Sheen," said Ms Engstrom.
Archbishop Sheen was a priest in the Diocese of Peoria, which covers central Illinois. He gained fame for his 1950s television show "Life Is Worth Living" and for his 16 years at the helm of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. He died on December 9, 1979, in New York.
In a statement released on June 17 by the Archbishop Fulton Sheen Foundation, Bishop Daniel R. Jenky of Peoria said: "With the recommendations of the medical experts and now the theologians, the case will next be reviewed by the cardinals and bishops," who are members of the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints.
"Finally, the miracle would be presented to Pope Francis, who would then officially affirm that God performed a miracle through the intercession of Fulton Sheen. There is no timeline as to when these next steps might move forward."
If Pope Francis formally issues the decree recognising the miracle, "Sheen could then be declared 'Blessed' in a ceremony that could be celebrated in Peoria, Sheen's hometown," Bishop Jenky said.
Another miracle would be needed for Archbishop Sheen's canonisation.

Playoff Preview: Steelers at Broncos
The Steelers might not have beaten a tougher team on the road this year than the one they'll face this Sunday…If the Steelers get out to a double-digit lead early, the Broncos basically have no hopes of coming back. But there are reasons to believe that this will be a close game.
...the Steelers will need to hit on a big play or two downfield to score points. Mike Wallace is certainly up to the task, but if Roethlisberger is inaccurate and the Broncos pass rush comes to play, we might see a lot of punts.
Tebow went from offering up two turnovers in five weeks to two turnovers per week. If he arrests that trend, the Broncos might be able to turn this game into a field-position war…There's no reason to think the Steelers will be totally unable to create turnovers because of what happened in the first half, but there's also not any strong evidence suggesting they're the ballhawks from 2010, either.
None of this is unreasonable - the Broncos definitely have more than an anything's possible chance.

Green-Pedersen, Ditte ; Hyldig, Grethe; Jacobsen, Charlotte; Baron, Caroline and Nielsen, Henrik Hauch (2010) The effect of feed composition on the sensory quality of organic rainbow trout during ice storage. [Effekter af fodersammensætning på sensorisk kvalitet af regnbueørred under is-lagring.] .
- English
The aim of this work was to study whether the type of protein and lipid source in feed for organic Rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) influenced the sensory quality. The protein sources were fishmeal and a matrix of organic vegetable plant mealsproteins, while the lipid sources were fish oil and organic oils of linseed, sunflower, rapeseed and grape seed, respectively. Sensory profiling was performed after 3, 5, 7 and 14 days of storage in ice. Besides sensory analysis also lipid profiles weare measured. The resultsed showed that the lipid type in the feed aeffected the sensory characteristics after 3 days of storage. Especially the trout that had grape seed oil in the feed had a different sensory profile than the trout that had fish oil in the feed. These differences could be explained by the lipid profiles in the fillets. Also after 7 days of ice storage differences in the sensory profile wereas observed again as a result of the used lipid types used. After 7 days of ice storage ThusHere the trout that had grape seed oil orand rapeseed oil for instance had a more neutral flavor and odor profile compared to the other trout fed on linseed or sunflower oil´s. After 14 days of storage no effect of lipid type in the feed was observed, but the trout which had fish meal as protein source had higher intensity of several negative sensory descriptors compared to trout that had the vegetable protein matrix. Overall the results showed that the dietaryfeeds content of protein and lipid aeffecteds the sensory characteristics of the trout in different ways during the ice storage period.
Summary translation
Formålet var at undersøge hvorvidt typen af protein og lipid i foderet til økologisk regnbueørred påvirkede produktkvaliteten efter is-lagring. Protein kilderne var fiskemel og en matrix af økologiske planteproteiner,mens lipid kilderne var fish oil og økologiske olier af henholdsvis hørfrø, solsikke, raps og vindruekerner. Sensory profiling was performed after 3, 5, 7 and 14 days of storage in ice. Efter 7 dages is-lagring havde ørreder, der havde fået henholdsvis vinduekerneolie og rapsolie i diæten en mere neutral lugt og smag end i ørreder, der havde fået hørfrøolie og solsikkeolie. Generelt syntes lipid kilden at påvirke den sensoriske kvalitet i begyndelsen af lagringsperioden mens protein kilden syntes at have en mere udtalt betydning mod slutningen af lagringsperioden.

OverviewZavod Imieni Likhacheve, Moscow
The ZIL is a continuation of the ZIS series and their limousines, used by high ranking government officials, are not generally available on the open market. Therefore their limited production details are not available.
The ZIL factory is the second largest car factory in Russia and they produced a wide variety of other items such as trucks, bicycles and refrigerators.
After the name change from ZIS to ZIL in 1956, the factory commenced with the model 111 which was again influenced by Packard styling, the front treatment looking very much like the 1956 Packard.
In 1960 there was mention of a prototype ZIL that had six headlamps and a mixture of General Motors and Ford ideas, but this was presumable considered to be a bit flambouyant and the car never materialised.

Triggers: Redeeming The Thoughts That Trigger Negative Responses
John A. Kilpatrick - One Audio CD
Our thoughts create mental images which can be triggers that release emotions. One thought picture can be so saturated with meaning, it would require thousands of words to describe it. The thoughts we believe and declare can trigger the disastrous or the miraculous! In this message, John Kilpatrick makes us aware that mental triggers can direct the course of our lives and how it is necessary to refocus our thoughts in the right direction.

PRETORIA, South Africa (UPDATED) – Rival South African opposition parties joined forces on Wednesday, April 12, when tens of thousand demonstrators marched through the capital Pretoria calling for President Jacob Zuma to resign.
The march to Union Buildings, the official seat of government, was organized on Zuma's 75th birthday and came after nationwide rallies against the president last week.
Zuma's recent sacking of respected finance minister Pravin Gordhan has fanned years of public anger over government corruption scandals, record unemployment and slowing economic growth.
Supporters of the radical leftist Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), the main opposition Democratic Alliance (DA), and smaller parties mingled at Wednesday's demonstration in a display of unity.
Police said the event had been peaceful.
"You came out in large numbers and sent a strong message," EFF leader Julius Malema told the crowd.
"We are here to defend the future of our children whether you are black (or) white. We are united on the purpose of winning back our beautiful country."
Gordhan's sacking triggered unprecedented criticism from senior figures within the ruling African National Congress (ANC), including from Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The ANC has since tried to close ranks behind Zuma and has vowed to defeat a no-confidence vote against him in parliament.
The vote is scheduled for next Tuesday but may be delayed due to a legal tussle over whether it should be a secret ballot.
'Moment of crisis'?
"At this moment of crisis, we, as political parties, put our differences aside for one common cause – to save South Africa from Jacob Zuma," said John Moodey, DA leader in Gauteng province, which includes Pretoria and Johannesburg.
"(Zuma's supporters) will do everything to stay in power, even intimidating MPs. With a secret ballot, we could put Zuma out by a huge majority.
"Even if it doesn't succeed, I can guarantee you that we will have a coalition government in 2019."
Zuma, who came to office in 2009, is due to step down as head of the ANC in December, and as national president ahead of the 2019 general election.
He is seen as favouring his ex-wife, former African Union chief Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, to succeed him.
Protesters on Wednesday held placards reading "Zuma must fall", "Hamba tsotsi" ("Go away thief"), and "Zuma liar".
"I came because Zuma has to step down. He sold the country. I don't want him anymore," Mavis Madisha, a 37-year-old EFF supporter, told AFP.
Zuma has been accused of being in the sway of the wealthy Gupta business family, allegedly granting them influence over government appointments, contracts and state-owned businesses.
The Constitutional Court last year found Zuma guilty of violating the constitution after he refused to repay taxpayers' money used to refurbish his private rural house.
He is also fighting a court order that could reinstate almost 800 corruption charges against him over a multi-billion dollar arms deal in the 1990s.
The dismissal of Gordhan saw the Fitch and Standard & Poor's agencies cut South Africa's sovereign credit rating to junk status due to fears of political instability and growing corruption.
The ANC has lost popularity in recent years and slipped to 55 percent of the vote in last year's local elections -- its worst ever result.
Zuma has easily survived previous parliamentary votes against him due to the ANC's majority.
The president branded last week's protests, which attracted tens of thousands of marchers, as racist. – Rappler.com

I'm not entirely sure where I am, as late last night we weaved up through the mountains, past the clouds, and finally stopped at a hidden stone villa, where a warm fire awaited and the promise of some much-needed sleep. What I do I know is that I'm somewhere in the Monsteny mountains, only a short drive away from Barcelona. Judging by the crisp mountain and air and the chorus of birds outside my window, I can't be sure, though. More to come soon, but first: A couple quick shots from yesterday, which started at 4:30am in Madrid, followed by a healthy stop in Barcelona, and finished with me prancing around a Montseny farm full of plants that smelled so delicious that I wanted to roll around in them.
Disclosure: I'm traveling through Montseny as a guest of Turístics Montseny. Rest assured that I'm keeping it real – all opinions are entirely my own.

The Luke Jermay Mentalism Seminar (Live Event)
November 7th and 8th, 2008. Featuring: Jermay, Michael W., Eric Mead, and special guests! Special early registration discount going on now!
Sold out
What: Hands-on intensive mentalism workshop with some of the best minds in mentalism.
When: Nov 7-8, 2008
Where: The Hotel @ Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Las Vegas
There is nothing else like this in the world of mentalism. The group is extremely small by design. Half a dozen of the top minds in mentalism are in the room with you for two solid days. You will meet everyone. You will connect. Your material will be the focus of every mind in the room.
This is absolutely not right for everyone. The number of participants is extremely limited. You need to be serious about mentalism.
If that's you, I'm excited. This is an event that has the power to transform.
Message from Luke Jermay:
Hello all,
It is with great pleasure that I announce the dates of the third mentalism workshop have been set for November the 7th and 8th, 2008. The second workshop was more than I could have ever have hoped for. I am thrilled to have found a venue for the event that can match the top notch content with its class, style and amenities.
The content of the second workshop was unparalleled. With Michael W, Eric Mead and Bob Cassidy tipping the real work on the real work I was as fascinated and excited by the concepts, methods and effects taught over the two days.
A personal highlight was being able to see the master Bob Cassidy work to a room full of people presenting his one-man show on the evening before the workshop. This show night one night before the workshop is something that we will be doing with the third event with a special guest. It gives everyone a chance to meet, relax and enjoy a show before the workshop kicks off and served as a great way to catch up with old friends and making new ones.
Nakul Shenoy took the prize for longest journey having traveled from Bangalore, India to attend the event with a journey totaling over 23 hours from Bangalore to Las Vegas. We were thrilled to see attendees from not only the USA but also from all over the world.
The third workshop is now ready to go and I will be announcing the special guests soon. The normal team will be present as ever with myself, Eric Mead and Michael W holding court alongside special guests. Our previous guest have included, Banachek, Jon Stetson, Jamy Ian Swiss, John Lovick, Kevin Burke, Andy Nyman & Bob Cassidy amidst others.
The third workshop promises to continue this stellar line up presenting top quality content. I am running a special early discount promotion for those people who register early. The price of this is $ 699 rather than the normal $ 1200 this special offer also includes an exclusive early discount BONUS. To register for the third workshop add this item to your Penguin Magic shopping cart and check out!
Thanks for your attention and I look forward to seeing some of you at the next event I want to leave you with the following comments about the second workshop from some of its attendees:
"I had the privilege of attending the first as well as the second Jermay Mentalism Workshop. I thought, like most sequels, the second workshop would be good, but would fall short of the magnitude and excitement that was the first workshop. Well.... my skepticism was silenced! The second Jermay / Weber Workshop far superseded all of my expectations. It was perfectly obvious that Jermay and Weber took great strides to make the second workshop an encore that will never be forgotten. Everyone in attendance experienced something that they will truly never forget. The workshop attendees evolved from a "group of guys talking mentalism" to a fraternity of like-minded individuals bonded by their art. To have Cassidy, Nyman, Weber, Mead, and Jermay together in a genuine effort to advance the art was profoundly inspiring. My show has matured considerably since the first workshop.... I cannot wait to apply what I've learned from the second workshop. If you are looking to take your performance up several notches in only a few months, I strongly encourage you to attend this workshop. I am a living testimony of its effectiveness." Jim Munroe, Texas
I am still reeling in the aftereffects of the excitement of attending the workshop, meeting you, my old friends, and all the new ones. It has truly been an experience of a lifetime for me to have spend 3-4 days with you all, and I look forward to the next opportunity as it comes. The highlight for me was undoubtedly meeting Bob, Michael, You, Eric, Andy, and the other wonderfully talented group in that room. The excitement and learning of the 3 days was immense, and will remain with me in my urge to constantly be a better performer, a better entertainer. It has been an immense and overwhelming experience, in more than one way. -- Nakul Shenoy, Bangalore India
Thank you for hosting such an outstanding event. This has been by far the best experience that I have had since I have been involved in Magic/Mentalism. This wasn't a workshop, it was more like a "think tank" of top tiered talent. This workshop creates a creative freedom that I have never known. I have come back with so many ideas that I still can't sleep and my head is still spinning! I can't possibly imagine anyone that couldn't benefit from attending. I can't wait for the next one.--Tom "TK" Krzystof, Chicago
There were a number of highlights. This was a workshop that actually, well, worked. Everything from the material delivered by the presenters, to the critiques of attendees was top notch. Seriously though, who could choose between watching Bob Cassidy perform, watching Michael W do his thing, and Andy Nyman on audience management? wish that I would have taken the opportunity to get up and try out the material I came to discuss. The opportunity to have the talent that was in that room review and help with the material was extraordinary, and I let it slip past. The thing is, it was too interesting listening to everything and everyone else. - Patrick Mahaffey.
"The Luke Jermay Mentalism Seminar inspired me, challenged me, changed me, flipped my thinking on its head... And I'm craving more." -- Maxwell Murphy, Penguin MagicDiscount codes can not be used to purchase registration to this event.

You've got to try TETSUO's fried mantou ice cream buns
Apart from their signature fried chicken, that is
- Japanese Fusion
- 88 Esteban Abada St., Loyola Heights, Quezon City
- Monday to Saturday: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Sunday: closed
- 0917-8513000
- ₱P480 for two people
- @tetsuo.official
After having done numerous pop-ups and running a successful food stall at Ateneo JSEC—a cafeteria cum training ground for entrepreneurial university students to pursue their culinary ventures—the young team behind TETSUO has finally established a home for their Japanese fusion creations.
They haven't strayed far from their humble beginnings, though; you'll find the restaurant in 88 Esteban Abad Street, which is just a block away from the Regis Center, a hub for many students around Katipunan.
TETSUO's atmosphere is very reminiscent of many Poblacion eateries: a cozy (i.e. small) and relatively dark space, filled with as many seats and tables as possible while still maintaining the minimum amount of comfortable elbow space between you and your friends; an open kitchen that will leave your clothes smelling like whatever food is on the grill or deep fryer; a palpable energy from the crowd (majority of whom are Millennials); a strong brand identity (thanks to the young creative and culinary team behind it); and food that tastes great sober, but even better when drunk.
First timers will want to try the Signature Fried Chicken, which comes with a serving of rice sprinkled with nori and a buttery gravy to give it a little Southern touch. You can choose between two or three pieces of chicken and select from three different spice levels: Sansho, a tangy, lemony homemade blend of spices that gets its kick from strong black pepper; Ichimi, made with Togarashi (a relatively mild Japanese spice); and Kaneda, another homemade blend with a smoky and slightly tangy taste—and the spiciest option available.
The buttermilk-coated chicken is deep fried to a golden brown, crispy skin that your cholesterol will struggle to resist (but inevitably give in to), and you'll hear a sharp crunch regardless of whether you cut into it with your utensils or hold it with your hands and go in for a bite.
Alternatively, you can try the Karaage with Soba (buckwheat noodles). The noodle sauce is light and slightly sweet—a nice complement to the Japanese fried chicken. This pairs best with plain karaage (no spice).
To some degree, the Torched Salmon Bowl is a lighter option to the fried chicken—it's fish, after all. But the fresh miso-marinaded salmon chunks that are torched (giving it those nice, crunchy black bits) are given a generous drizzle of spicy mayo and teriyaki sauce, which essentially makes it as decadent as the fried chicken. At least the homemade pickled cucumbers are there to balance it out, right?
Rice and soba aside, TETSUO also offers cuapao or mantou. The Pork Bun: a sweet and savory sous vide chunk of pork belly in a soft, steamed cuapao. And for dessert, a golfball-sized scoop of ice cream sandwiched in a smaller deep fried mantou bun, one vanilla scoop and the other, the flavor of the day (so far, they've had ube, mango, cheese, and strawberry on rotation). Add a drizzle of condensed milk and Chocnut crumbs, and you've got a pretty irresistible dessert for just P80.

The giant spinning newspaper graphics continue to fly out of NBC today: Deadline follows up word of 30 Rock's swan song with news implicitly confirming the return of its fellow NBC Thursday night stalwart The Office, as Ed Helms, John Krasinski, and Jenna Fischer have all reached an agreement to remain with the show "in principal" should it be renewed, which it almost certainly will now. (Deadline even terms it just "a formality" at this point.) The only thing possibly standing in the way of an official announcement of its return is the closing of a new deal with writer/executive producer/inexplicably prominently featured in the credits star B.J. Novak, as well as other quibbling details like figuring out who's going to be its showrunner with Paul Lieberstein leaving to focus on the Dwight spinoff, addressing the impending departures of Rainn Wilson and Mindy Kaling, working around the feature film shooting schedules of Helms and Krasinski, coming up with a reason for the show to justify continuing with so many of its former and current stars either leaving completely or hanging on by a thread, etc.

Andrea, an Australian Landcare International member and facilitator for the Leigh Catchment Australia, took the role as Landcare Trainer. Australia's Crawford Fund provided funds for the workshop.
Training was carried out over five days with three village communities (Naboutini, Nagado and Korobebe) each receiving one day's classroom training and a half day field trip of the total Sabeto catchment.
Training on soil conservation and agroforestry were given by specialists from the Fiji Ministry of Agriculture and the Secretariat for Pacific Communities.
About 15 participants from each village attended the training sessions at each community.
The importance of climate change impacts on daily life are well understood by Pacific Islanders and participants were open to discussions of their impact on agricultural production and marketing. There was also a strong appreciation of the need to protect land and existing forests, and expand the use of agroforestry.
While the three communities had been designated Landcare groups, they were in an early stage of development and appreciated the discussion and information exchange on community development and food production.
The catchment wide field trips gave each community a sense of their part in the overall catchment management and a context for food production, erosion control, tree planting and environmental protection where needed.
Our thoughts are with the people of Fiji following the tragedy of Cyclone Winston which struck in February 2016.

Eyevio - Sony Launching YouTube Rival on Friday
Update: The site is called Eyevio.
We've got a few sources - including, a few minutes ago, a release - saying that Sony will take on YouTube with its own video sharing site, launching on Friday.
But don't get too excited: Friday's launch will be in Japan only, with expansion globally at a later date. I don't hold out much hope that the electronics and media giant can corner this market, although there's plenty of reasons why they'd want to.
Sony already owns Grouper, acquired in August 2006 for $65M in cash.

The first thing that strikes me is that we are an exciting mix of people and roles. Here are those who work exclusively with user experience design, but also a variety of specialists in product development, sales, support and marketing. To gather skills and ideas from various stakeholders and then make a deep dive in an improvement area for a couple of days is really something you wish you did more often. When everyone has the same agenda – to make it easier for our customers – but with different starting points and mindsets it can be a challenge. But users are different and therefore it´s necessary to find as many different approaches to solutions as possible.
So my team´s task is "How can we improve this certain kind of feature in one of our products?".
We started out with a go through on the existing feature. In detail. Discussed what was good and what we felt could be improved. Here one discovers the value of having many different stakeholders eyes on the task. As always, when there are different approaches and opinions of how to simplify and improve, it adds great value along the way. This is from what I've learned from the marathon part of the user-centered design process and the natural first part to gather and share insights.
After lively discussions and presentations of a variety of exciting ideas and approaches, we began with a prototype. When we felt satisfied with our wireframe we wanted to get a sense of how how it would be received by our users and began preparing for user testing.
Me together with an end-user – getting feedback on our ideas
In our case we had two users that felt appropriate to the task. They were in the right target group and had just started out with the product.
And to see how users take on our solution is very interesting. Details in their body language and to listen to their thoughts is very valuable. And in our case, it felt like we were definitely on the right track. Everything went exactly as it supposed to.
But how do you find significance in user testing, was one of my thoughts related to this work during the marathon? In short – how many user tests has to be done in order to get a reliable result? If we equate this with, for example, a customer survey my guess it that it would need around 100 respondents to evaluate in order to get a reasonably accurate result. So how can this be done in a more effective way? How do we combine traditional user testing with digital tools to drive improvements, A/B-testing, performance and so on. But in discussions with UX-design professionals there are exaggerated expectation on significance when doing user test on this level of work. And we are not doing scientific research work here. The most important goal is to validate our hypothesis and gather insights. The experience amongst the UX-professionals is that you need a sample of 25-30 persons to get proper tendencies. Sometimes even less, depending on testing method used.
An early hand drawn paper sketch from the UX-marathon
Back to our prototype. So now we have a pretty decent wireframe and our next step is to pitch it to our stakeholders. Hopefully we get a go and can set up a team to do the design, make the implementation and provide our solution with tracking and add hypotheses for A/B-testing. We think, and have some preliminary proof based on our testing, that we have come up with a feature that adds more value for our customers. But it's not up to us as a company to decide what´s good and what's not – we measure regularly and iterate by observing users actual usage of the application or service. I personally widened my understanding of collaborative user centered work and have learned new things that I will bring into my daily work. And this is something that any team could arrange regularly as a fun and team-building event – to combine business with pleasure.

In August 2018, there was a reunion of separated family members from North and South Korea. The news was hard to bare.
One elderly man told his story in an interview that he had to escape from the house when the war started. He left his younger siblings in the North and came to the South. He was nine years old at that time. He was crying and said he should've lived or died together with his siblings and he will ask for forgiveness from them.
His story made me think about my grandmother. During the war, she was hiding in a shed with her children. A bomb hit the shed and one of my uncles lost his leg. My grandmother had to run, leaving him behind to save other children. My aunt told me that every time my grandmother told the story, she said "I couldn't even put dirt on his leg…I couldn't even put dirt on his leg…". She was probably so happy and proud to watch her children grow, but never forgot about her lost son.
I had to question myself if I can blame them for what they did. My grandmother and the elderly man must have a big knot in their hearts that is never going to be untied. Certainly, I cannot blame their suffering.
I wish someday soon, all the separated families on the Korean peninsula, can visit each other freely. If we can see our loved ones whenever we want, we are blessed.
Happy New Year everyone.
My Old Dog
My mom sent me videos of our dog in Korea. He is 15 years old. He is getting older and older every time I see him in pictures and videos. This time, I could see the difference significantly.
He started walking slowly and unevenly. Even though I was smiling at the video, my heart was aching. What made me sadder was my excitement about having a new dog. My old dog and my new dog were overlapped and blurred with tears in my eyes.
I didn't know much about dogs. I was young and naive when I adopted him, along with my first dog who died eight years ago. After I learned how to take care of a dog, I was already too far away. I couldn't even be there for my first dog when she died. Perhaps the eagerness of wanting to be a better companion for my new dog makes me sentimental. I sometimes accidentally call my new dog with my old dog's name and that always chokes me up.
I haven't seen him in over a year now. I'm not sure when I'll see him but I hope I can have more time to walk with him.
After Dinner
Our newly adopted dog had a few favorite spots to lay down in the house. One of them is against the kitchen counter. We don't let him near the dining table while we are eating, but he can join us when we are done or when we're talking with some drinks. Then he laid down leaning on the wall and sleeps.
One night, my husband thought it could be cold next to the wall and went down and lay next to our dog. He adjusted his position quickly into my husband's arms and they both fell asleep fast. I heard heavy breathing from both of them and it made me yawn.
It was a relaxing and calm evening.
Morning Sun
We recently adopted a dog from a humane society. There is an elementary school near our apartment and I walk with my dog there every morning around the time the kids go to school. As most dogs from shelters do, our dog has quite a few problems we are working on. But one thing he is good with is people. He just loves everyone. We don't want him to lose that friendliness, especially with children. So I go to the school in the morning and afternoon when I can manage the right timing.
One morning next to the school, I looked up and saw the sun. It was a very foggy day. I love looking at the sun, moon, and stars, especially at odd times. We often see the changing shapes of the moon but almost never see the shape of the sun. That morning, I was surprised how round the sun was! (Such a weird realization)
Going out for my dog multiple times a day isn't easy. I often need to break from my work. But I love walking with him. It gives him joy and that gives me great happiness. The chances to see beautiful moments throughout the day is a huge plus.
How often do you walk with your dogs? Haven't gone out with them yet today? How about going on a stroll right now!

Is your Bluelight registration up to date?
You may or may not be aware, but the existing Bluelight eProcurement system is being migrated to a new supplier (EU Supply). Accordingly several of the UK Police and Emergency Service authorities have already begun to change over to this new supplier and are now using EU-Supply's Bluelight to advertise tender opportunities, and manage their procurement processes.
EU Supply successfully won the contract for a new electronic tendering/procurement portal which replaces Bluelight (ProContract), previously facilitated by Due North.
There is no set timetable for the move of each Authority over to the new system (they have only stated that this will take place over the coming months), so we recommend that anyone with a registration with the existing ProContract Bluelight also registers with the new EU Supply Bluelight. By being registered with both you will be sure not to miss any future opportunities.
The new site can be found at the following link:
Please do get in touch with the Tender Victory team if we can assist with any general tendering and eprocurement queries. For any Bluelight specific queries, you should contact: firstname.lastname@example.com

And it's not one thing worth putting money into if you have high-interest debt obligations to spend off since the possibilities are you will just end up accumulating much more debt than returns on your investments. Take benefit of tax-deductible retirement accounts and realize the effect of your tax bracket when investing outside tax-sheltered retirement accounts. Absolutely everyone starts saving at diverse ages, with diverse objectives, distinct incomes and expenditures, and varied retirement expectations. If you happen to be all set to invest, make positive you have the following investments in your portfolio this year.
It really is our job to help you filter out the noise, understand the basics, and make very good investment choices from the begin. However we tend to ought to say that prior to very good investments money everybody ought to get appropriate education on best investments plans. One of the positive aspects of investing for your retirement through a Roth IRA (or a classic IRA, for that matter) is the truth that you are not restricted solely to mutual funds. If you make $50,000 per year and set aside ten% of your salary into your 401k ($five,000), in this situation your employer would contribute an extra $three,000 (six% of $50,000), increasing your total investment to $eight,000. Picking good investments for yourself requires matching the time frame you have to the riskiness of the investment. Tech stocks make excellent investments due to the constant growth of companies and the industry demand.
Right here are some items to consider to help you balance your financial wants of right now with your retirement goals of tomorrow. All you need to do is assessment your investments and figure out whether your portfolio properly balances your require for safety, development and revenue in a way that will preserve you both physically and emotionally comfy. Traditional IRA contributions are tax deductible, and the IRS does not tax the dividends as long as they remain in your account until retirement. It is a good notion to understand your retirement expenditures -both the necessities, as well as for the good to haves such as travel, a move, or helping a loved ones member financially. When it comes to your retirement funds, you want to keep away from issues with inordinate risk.
That is partly because each the bucket and cover-the-fundamentals approaches safeguard retirees from brief-term stock marketplace downturns. By law, 401k plans that let you to pick your own investments should supply at least three diversified options, every single with diverse dangers and returns. Instead of accumulating a money hoard to cover the gap in between revenue and charges, retirees should take into account the portion of the gap that is for fixed (that is, non-discretionary) expenditures, suggests Vernon, a investigation scholar at the Stanford Center on Longevity, at Stanford University. Just before I share the very best short-term investments for your money, I initial want to share where not to put your cash: the stock market. If you are nervous when the market goes down, you might not be in the right investments. Being in a position to handle the wealth that a retirement account offers can be a good feeling.
With that in thoughts, you need to perform to maximize your contributions – such as your employer's matching contribution – by choosing the investments that will assist you achieve your retirement goals. The benefit to fidelity is that you never want a minimum investment amount if you set up automatic investments from your bank account. It's a snowball impact: The sooner that you place your money into something that will make you income, the sooner you make that money, which you can place back into investing. I've been reading many different internet sites and posts concerning Roth IRAs – this is 1 of the ideal!

Pattern matching is probably one of the best features of the language. It comes down to two points:
- check for a certain structure of a value
- extract parts of that value
Since it's such an integral part of the language it comes with a lot of useful tricks like piping multiple patterns into one case. In this lesson we will explore all of them.

The U.S. military says an American soldier has been charged with killing two other U.S. servicemen in the Iraqi city of Fallujah.
In a statement released Wednesday, the military said Neftaly Platero has also been charged with one count of attempted murder.
He is accused of shooting three soldiers after an argument last month.
The military says the shootings were premeditated, and that it is continuing to investigate the incident.
Platero will be tried in a military court.

The California Building Industry Association (CBIA) was successful on Thursday, May 26 in obtaining a court order (TRO) restraining the State Allocation Board – and all others acting in concert with them – from implementing Level 3 fees or sending notice to the Legislature that state funds for new school construction are not available.
This action was taken in spite of the $9 billion school facilities bond that has qualified for the November ballot, which will replenish the fund and continue the successful investment partnership between the State, the homebuilding industry, and local school districts to fund school facility modernization and construction.
The TRO temporarily halts the ability of school districts statewide to go to Level 3. The Court set a hearing date for a preliminary injunction for July 1, when it will decide whether to extend the prohibition until a full trial on the matter. CBIA went on to issue a statement on Wednesday, May 25, 2016 after the California State Allocation Board vote.
"The building industry has long been a strong funding partner and supporter of our local schools, which is why we have been working in partnership with educators to pass a statewide school facilities bond in November - a measure that is supported by school districts throughout the state, the California State PTA, and respected legislators from both parties," said David Cogdill, President and CEO of CBIA.
"Today's action will not adequately address the lack of state school facility funding, and will only exacerbate California's housing crisis, further reduce needed supply and make it even more difficult for working families to be able to afford housing in our state. The only effective way to ensure students have access to quality schools, protect housing affordability and safeguard our economy is to pass the bond in November so that we continue the successful partnership between the state, the homebuilding industry and local districts."
Reports recently issued by the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office and Beacon Economics - commissioned by Next 10 - consistently identify the lack of supply as the primary reason that California boasts some of the most expensive housing prices in the country. Both reports also cite other consequences to California's housing shortage, including: impeding the state's ability to retain lower and middle-income wage earners; pushing homeownership out of reach for working families, making it more difficult for workers to build wealth; and increasing poverty.
Research also shows that California must add significantly more private housing stock to alleviate rising prices. Both the LAO and Next 10 recommended that adding more private housing stock - up to an additional 100,000 units annually -- to what the market is already providing could meaningfully address the housing affordability problem for many Californians.

In this installment in our just-dreamed-up series entitled "Wait a Minute, Let's Think About This," the guys at LinusTechTips go deep to discover that shooting and rendering in 4K and distributing on the web – at least on YouTube – is probably not as smart as shooting 1080P and up-rezzing to 4K in order to trick YouTube into using a higher bit-rate on playback.
We asked recently if 4K even mattered in a world rapidly switching to mobile viewing. Our basic rationale was this: if you're looking at content on a smartphone or tablet, will you even be able to see the difference?
The guys at LinusTechTips have gone much deeper, shooting a number of scenarios on a Panasonic GH4 [B&H | Amazon] and Sony FS700 [B&H | Amazon] (with the attendant headaches of all that data) to bring us a novel conclusion: you're probably better off shooting in 1080P and then up-rezzing to 4K when you render out because of the way YouTube allocates bandwidth to 4K video.
This is a major mindf*ck – but especially when combined with our more basic question above, it has an unassailable logic and appeal to it.
Watch the vid and then the "response" which has some great feedback and clarity, then tell us what you think. [bctt tweet="Better to up-rezz 1080p to 4K for YouTube than to shoot 4k in the first place?"]
4K Video – is it worth it?

I cannot help but reply to the flurry of words hurled into cyberspace and social media airwaves, if you will, about Miley Cyrus' risqué performance at the MTV VMA Awards. I want to shout…
We live in a culture where nearly everything is hyper-sexualized. We allow our daughters to wear shorts that should be known as denim underwear and watch music videos on MTV that are extremely sexual in nature. We have an ever-growing problem in the United States where our daughters are being lured into sexual exploitation, while the majority of Americans decide to ignore this epidemic of sex trafficking (exempting those who are actually ignorant of this issue).
We take our daughters to places like Victoria's Secret for their underwear…why? Our boys are plagued with images of half naked women nearly all their lives and we have millions addicted to pornography. We have a thriving billion dollar strip club/ and pornography industry that is visited by Christians and non alike…
So please, do not let this heartbreaking performance of a moment pass you by. Instead of posting nasty words about Miley (all the while ignoring the married man on the stage), do something about it. What can you do? Stop shopping at places where they forgot to sew on the rest of the material on that skirt or pair of shorts. Stop buying into the lie that our kids "need to experience" things in life that they have no business "experiencing" until they are in the right situation and it is a good experience. Stop watching porn, stop visiting strip clubs and for crying out loud gain a little compassion for those trapped in it.
Talk to your kids, give them some boundaries, let them know they are made in the image of God and their bodies have great value…and not for the lust of another.
During a recent outreach to exploited women, my heart was broken to hear in their voices and experiences the hypocrites they have encountered. These women have been visited by the very same people shouting about this Miley situation…people of faith, people in prominent positions, the average parent, and so on. When have we become a society that embraces the devaluing of another human being? Why are we spouting jargon from one side of our mouths and acting another way in secret? Should we be outraged? Yes, but we should be outraged by all of it. Our words and our actions have weight and the world is paying attention…and more importantly, so are our children.

Together with four Russian crewmembers, Fournier and Knickel will remain in the habitat at the Institute of Biomedical Problems (IBMP) until mid-July. During their stay, the crew will experience all aspects of a mission to the Red Planet, including launch, the outward journey, arrival at Mars and, after an excursion to the surface, the long journey home. The crewmembers will act as subjects in scientific investigations to assess the effect that isolation has on various psychological and physiological aspects, such as stress, hormone regulation and immunity, sleep quality, mood and the effectiveness of dietary supplements. The 105-day study precedes a full simulation of a mission to Mars, due to start late in 2009. This will see another six-member crew sealed in the same chamber to experience a complete 520-day Mars mission simulation.

White Collar Defense shareholder Jason de Bretteville and associate Kenny Hsu were published in the Westlaw Journal's Corporate Officers and Directors Liability Expert Analysis section with their post mortem analysis of the Supreme Court's December 6, 2016 decision in Salman v. United States.
White Collar Defense shareholder Jason de Bretteville and associate Kenny Hsu were published in the Westlaw Journal's White Collar Crime Litigation News and Analysis section with their expert analysis of the much anticipated oral arguments in Salman v. United States. In the article, "Supreme Court Revisits Insider Trading's Personal Benefit Requirement," de Bretteville and Hsu argue that a majority of the court appeared to be reluctant to break from precedent and would likely "be comfortable with reaffirming — or at most, slightly clarifying — the standards for imposing liability that existed before the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' landmark decision in United States v. Newman."
Stradling shareholder Jeff Dinkin wants to inform you that today, November 22, 2016, U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant issued a nationwide injunction that blocked implementation of the new federal salary standard for employees to qualify as exempt under the salary basis test. This means that employers do not have to pay exempt employees a minimum salary of $47, 476 as of December 1 to retain exempt status.
Stradling shareholder Jeff Dinkin published a client alert discussing important information regarding the new federal minimum salary for exempt employees.
Stradling shareholder Marianne Mortimer participated in an Expert Webcast discussing Representation of Creditors in Bankruptcy. Expert Webcast is a sophisticated digital source of expertise for the professional and the business communities locally, nationally and cross-border.

Litigation Shareholder Maren Hufton and counsel Katherine Hammersly's article, "Clients Must Vet eDiscovery Competence of Counsel" was published in the Orange County Business Journal. In the article, Hufton and Hammersly state that counsel must pay careful attention to the requirements and challenges of managing electronic discovery since "an attorney's failure to recognize basic eDiscovery responsibilities exposes not just the attorney, but the client, to harsh sanctions". Hufton and Hammersly lay out a framework of eDiscovery-related questions for in-house counsel to ask before retaining outside counsel for any matter.
The Orange Business Journal quoted Jeff Estes, a shareholder in Stradling's corporate practice, for an article on the SEC regulation for crowdfunding that recently took effect. The new regulation is part of the federal Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, and is meant to stimulate the funding of small businesses by easing some securities regulations.
