Turkey – Turkey ratifies Council of Europe Convention on automatic processing of personal data
Published 3 March 2016
What does this cover?
On 18 February 2016 the Law on Ratification of the Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to automatic processing of personal data of the Council of Europe (the Convention) came into force, following its publication in the Official Gazette of Turkey.
The Council of Europe is comprised of 47 members (including all 28 EU Member States) each of whom has signed up to the European Convention on Human Rights. This specific Convention was created to "extend the safeguards for everyone's rights and fundamental freedoms, and in particular the right to the respect for privacy" in light of increased automatic processing of personal data, whilst simultaneously reaffirming a commitment to "freedom of information regardless of frontiers."
Turkey has ratified the Convention with some reservations as to the types of personal data that would fall outside the remit of the Convention in Turkey, including personal data contained in public registers governed by Turkish law and personal data processed for the purposes of national security defence and the prevention of crime.
Turkey is now required to enact national legislation in order to give effect to the Convention. This will likely be incorporated into the Draft Data Protection Bill, as reported on separately above.

What action could be taken to manage risks that may arise from this development?
Organisations operating in Turkey should continue to monitor the legislative process and take advice from local legal counsel in Turkey regarding changes that will need to be made in order to comply with the provisions of these laws when they are enacted.

- n. An internal muscle arising from the lumbar vertebræ and inserted into the femur. In man there are usually two on each side, and the larger one, or great psoas, forms a part of the iliopsoas.
from The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. A muscle of the loins and pelvis; the tenderloin.

Williams said then that she had hurt her "psoas" or hip flexor muscle.
She later said she injured her "psoas" muscle, which flexes the hip and spinal column.
Williams said the injury was in her "psoas" muscle, which flexes the hip and spinal column.
To make a long story short, you have tears in two muscles, the psoas and the quadratis lumborum.
Having your legs bent under a desk all day shortens your hip flexors and psoas muscles, which attach to your pelvis and lower spine.
To get the most amount of psoas stretch in this exercise it is crucial that you keep your elbow locked at all times.
Stretches for the psoas are hard to come by, so I invented this one.
When youre standing tall and upright, your psoas pronounced so as muscles are stretched and act somewhat like a rubber band to lift your leg when you walk in place.
When you bend over at the waist, your psoas is disengaged and you have to lift the weight of your leg with your quadriceps, which is more work.
Unfortunately, psoas major exhibits very little marbling even in prime animals.

Shrimp EtouffeeFrom angelinaw 10 years ago
- 1 1/2 shrimp stock (see recipe on my site) shopping list
- 2 lb shrimp, peeled and devined shopping list
- 1/2 cup Onion, finely chopped (I prefer Vidalia when possible) shopping list
- 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped shopping list
- 1/4 cup bell pepper (doesn't matter what color- I like to mix it up a little when I can) shopping list
- 3/4 cup tomatoes, diced shopping list
- 1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced shopping list
- 7 tbsp butter (the real deal), cut into 4 tbsp and 3 tbsp shopping list
- 2 Tbsp creole seasoning (you can add more later as you cook) shopping list
- 1/4 cup flour (I prefer to use Wondra - a real life saver if you can find it. You use less of it and it doesn't turn out lumpy) shopping list
- 2 Tbsp Minced garlic shopping list
- 5 Sprigs of thyme shopping list
- 3 Tbsp Minced Italian parsley shopping list
- 2 bay leaves shopping list
- 2 tsp worcestershire sauce shopping list
- 1 tsp hot sauce (Crystal is king around here) shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste (I use the cayenne pepper) shopping list
- rice (brown ,white, whatever you like) shopping list
- NOTE: If you chop and measure everything ahead of time and have them in small containers grouped together by thir order in the recipe, this recipe goes very smooth! shopping list
How to make it
- Cook the rice (Quanity appropriate for how many people you'll have), add the Bay Leaves when finished cooking, place in covered dish,and then set aside.
- Sprinkle the Shrimp with 1 Tbsp of the Creole Seasoning, put aside.
- In large skillet , melt the 4 Tbsp Butter and then add the Onions, Bell Pepper, and Celery. Saute until translucent.
- Whisk in the flour (or Wondra) to make a blonde roux stirring constantly. The appearance should almot look like the vegetables are covered in a light yellow paste.
- Stir in the remaining Creole Seasoning.
- In small amounts, ( I use 1/4 cups) add the shrimp stock, whisking or stirring constantly to form almost a thick pasty sauce.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Don't be tempted to add more stock.The end product should be the consistency of a gravy .
- Add the Tomatoes, Garlic, Thyme, Worcestershire, Hot Sauce, Salt and Pepper. Simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occaisionly to make sure it doesn't stick.
- Add the Shrimp, Green Onions, and Parsley. Simmer for 6-10 minutes until the shrimp are cooked (Don't overcook where they curl up-that is not so good).
- Stir in the 3 Tbsp butter, adjust seasonings to taste, remove whole sprigs of thyme.
- Serve with the cooked rice.
- Goes well with corn bread!
- Put the bottle of Hot Sauce on the table, as some like to sprinkle the hot sauce on the Etouffee.
- Voila! Mangia! Woo-Wee!

Mark Twain once said that a lie will go twice round the world while the truth is tying up its shoe laces. He knew a thing or two and he didn't even have broadband. I mention this because the good old public DWSC forum is about to be locked, presumably to encourage us to use the new private members-only forum. Personally I've always preferred to make a fool of myself to as large an audience as possible, so I'll be staying on the outside. Anyone who thinks that opinions can be hidden away behind closed doors when we have so much choice of media is deluding themselves - the words just move from somewhere that the club can observe and respond to, to elsewhere where the club doesn't know what's being said and no response is possible. A bad idea IMHO.
On the positive side the water level is rising pretty quickly now, probably summat to do with all the rain we've been having (duh!). It should continue to rise if the forecast for the coming week holds true.
Back at the sailing, the weather was cold, F3, onshore, some sunshine. Poorly Paul was elsewhere, so I inherited Quentin from JT who was feeling a bit under the weather. As I was still in my kitchen 1 hour before the start of the race, and then had to wait for Quentin to turn up when I arrived at the club, starting on time was always going to be a bit of a challenge. And so it came to pass that we arrived at the start line some time after the Freds had started, to find Colin/Karen waiting for us. I figured we'd have to wait some more to pick up Bob/Richard, so we pootled around until Colin pointed out that Bob had already gone and was now at the top of the beat. So we set off in hot pursuit, had a good old ding-dong battle with Colin/Karen all the way round, and ended up just behind them at the finish. Bob was already on the shore by now, well, fair play, he is sailing 25 year old boat, probably needs the points.
A spot of lunch, and then off to the start-line again, this time arriving before the start of the race. We made a decent enough start for a boat with no functioning timepiece, and made our way up the beat in close competition with Bob/Richard and Colin/Karen. Jane/Pat were out there somewhere too, but we didn't see much of them. At the top of the beat, it was Bob/Richard in the lead, with us and Colin/Karen pretty much neck and neck. And so it remained for the next two and a half laps, with various changes of 2nd and 3rd place while Bob built up a huge lead - at one point it was huge - we were at 'T' while they were getting their kite down at 'M'.
We had a lot of trouble getting past Colin/Karen. Usually I just pull a bit of a blinder up the favoured side of the beat and emerge far enough ahead at the windward mark that we can break free with the huge kite on the reach. This didn't work at all - my fabulous windshift picking skills were going flat out but Colin just kept on reappearing from under the jib, still slightly ahead of us in spite of going the other way. And on the offwind legs it appeared that they'd got their own huge kite which was more effective than mine, what with mine being on top of the wardrobe at home - the one in the boat being a more standard cut.
Coming round 'K' for the last time we were right up on Colin's transom, so he luffed up hard after rounding the mark (as you do) and we carried a bit more speed and punched through beneath them. Unusually, we kept the speed and managed to come out ahead as we both sailed up the wall before tacking off for 'P'. After tacking, Bob/Richard were a lot closer, maybe only 30 secs ahead. So we rode the wind-bend up to 'P' and rounded just behind them. Then a bit of a wineglass problem with the kite lost us a bit of ground, so they were clear ahead again when we gybed at 'T' for the final leg to OL.
A nice big lump of wind filling in from behind got us planing and converted the leg into one of those momentarily perfect items where you can just about carry the kite at the expense of the occasional leeward-gunwale-under-water moment while the boat is picking up speed This ended up with us haring towards Bob's transom at about Mach 5 while Bob had to contend with the conflicting requirements of sailing towards OL while stopping us going past and responding to the gust as it landed on his boat. It was all very exciting, but we were a little too close to OL to mount a serious challenge. We managed to get alongside, but Bob ended up crossing the line with his bow about 2 ft ahead of ours, big smiles all round and an excellent finish to a great race. More points for Bob/Richard in the 25 year old boat, and thoroughly well deserved.

Excellent write-up Mike and great to see the sense of camaraderie that further emphasises what's so great about class racing. Had that been a happy-clappy spreadsheet race, then no doubt Colin and Karen would have been off- chasing that elusive 'corrected time'!ReplyDelete
Also, shouldn't this article be on the FRONT PAGE of the new website as a rolling news item, suitably tagged as 'fireball' and 'racing'? That's kinda the point of using blogware to host a website innit???

Simple Insights Into Products For Shoes Shop
The revival of the German brand has been hurting rivals Nike (NKE.N) and Under Armour (UAA.N) but some investors are concerned that Adidas is too reliant on fickle trends such as the recent popularity of its Superstar and Stan Smith shoes. Chief Executive Kasper Rorsted said the North รองเท้าผ้าใบ American market is the "biggest challenge and the biggest opportunity" for Adidas, targeting sales of 5 billion euros (4.37 billion pounds) by 2020, after a 24 percent jump to 3.4 billion euros in 2016. The stock was down 1.7 percent at 1330 GMT. Rorsted told an investor day that the fashion-driven...Read more

Michael Lacey was born in Newark, N.J. and resided there until the 60s when he left to study at Arizona State University. In 1970, Lacey and some of his school mates dropped out after publishing Phoenix New Times, a paper that spoke against the conservative coverage of campus protests by local media papers.
The Journey Towards Prosperity
Lacey was the executive editor of the New Times while Jim Larkin, his partner, was in charge of advertisements. The free weekly publication increased its circulation and gained prominence for its wide coverage of political and social issues.
By 1983, New Times had managed to purchase Westword, a news and arts paper. Lacey and Larkin continued expanding their business and in a short while they had acquired a conglomerate of 17 papers including the Miami New Times, LA Weekly, and the famous Village Voice of New York City.
On October 18, 2007, Lacey and his assistant were arrested and jailed for a publication in Phoenix New Times. The publication stated that there were grand jury subpoenas targeting the writers, editors, and readers of the paper. Following public demand for their release, the charges against them were dropped and they were set free 24 hours later.
The subpoena was quashed and the grand-jury inquiry was dismissed. An investigation into the matter showed that the warrants of arrest were fake and a product of a witch-hunt by a vengeful prosecutor who circumvented legal safeguards.
Lacey and Larkin did not lay this matter to rest. They pursued a lawsuit seeking damages for wrongful arrest. In 2013, their case was settled with a $3.75 million award. The business partners opened a fund, Lacey and Larkin Frontera Fund, and dedicated it to helping Latin Americans living in Arizona. Read more: Michael Lacey | Facebook and Michael Lacey | LinkedIn
The Victories of Lacey and Larkin
In the meantime, the Phoenix New Times was gaining popularity all around the U.S. The paper's name was changed to "Village Voice Media ". The company earned a reputation for its magazine-style writing, intensive investigative reporting, thorough coverage of food, music, arts, films, and local events.
By 2012, VVM had managed to attract 9 million print reader and 56 million online readers per month. The company had also received hundreds of awards including the "Pulitzer Prize". Lacey and Larkin later sold off VVM to a group of company executives in the same year.
From the humble beginnings of a free weekly edition, Lacey and Larkin managed to transform Phoenix New Times into a paper that connected with the issues facing Americans.
Through their dedication to the First Amendment, Lacey and Larkin set a good example to the media fraternity about what free press should be like.

Do you feel like your home is overrun with pests? Are the creepy crawlies making you insane? Pests can really negatively impact your quality of life. Depending on the type of pests, they can also lead to health and sanitary issues. Use this article to help you tackle your problem. These tips will get you started on the road to a pest-free life.
Steel wool can be used to blockage hole that mice can crawl through to enter your house. While rats and mice can chew through them, the thin metal strands are too tough to chew. All openings bigger than a quarter inch need to be stuffed. Remember, these pests can fit through very tiny openings.
Do you have a recurring problem with fruit flies? Your drain could be causing your pest problem. To test this you just need to cover your drains with something that is transparent and watch for fruit flies. If so, pour boiling water into the drains, and give them a good cleaning. This ought to stop fruit flies breeding.
Be sure to check with local authorities before you use pesticides in your home to ensure that they are within code. Using chemicals that are banned can do you an injustice if you put your home on the market. That is rare, but it should make you research which products are successful and allowed.
Get an exterminator with a trained termite dog to find out if there are termites in your home. An actual human inspector is only capable of verifying the safety of about one-third of the home. However, a dog that is properly trained is actually capable of ensuring a home's safety one-hundred percent! These dogs sniff out methane gas, which directly comes from termites eating your wood.
Get rid of the standing water around your home. Standing water is one of the biggest attractants for pests. Make sure that you take care of any leaky pipes and standing water in your home. If you eliminate water sources, you will eliminate a lot of pests.
Millions are spent on pest control each year. However, you can solve most of your pest problems on your own. Consult this article whenever pests invade your home. If you tackle your problem early, you'll avoid having to call a costly exterminator. Be diligent with your pest control routines, and you will be rewarded with a cleaner living environment.

Poetry Friday: Learning Far and Near
This week we have a video poem created by Julie Ramsay's class, inspired by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "Midnight Ride of Paul Revere." This video, along with many other projects created by students, can be found on a special website created to accompany Julie's book, "Can We Skip Lunch and Keep Writing?" Collaborating in Class and Online, Grades 3-8. To gain access to the site, just purchase the book on the Stenhouse website!
Learning Far and Near
Listen my children and you shall hear,
Of the learning time from far and near,
On the twenty-ninth of May in 09,
Every digital citizen is still alive,
Who remembers the famous project we did,
We said to the world "Joy, Joy we,
Have done every thing alive. Like digital stories,
Wikis, Jing, READ posters, scanner colleges,
Tech and writing projects, more, more, and more."
Our communications both back and forth
Traveled across from our Alabama school
Digitally riding to the Peoria Bay
Right when the sun,
Rose over the day where to our writing,
And ideas you never said "Nay."
The writer's block never came,
As we wrote to you for ever more,
A worldly collaboration with each letter,
Across the sky like a rainbow,
And a huge experience that was magnified
By flattening of classroom walls in our stride,
While everyone went through the valley of learning from another,
And we stayed on track and never,
Missed an opportunity to teach or learn.
Others wonder how we do it
But it takes lots of effort with us two,
We worked together in a quest for the best.
That's why we say unto you thanks,
For a year that will stand out as the best!
—Sean (inspired by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's
The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere)

Best Kids Parties: Red Balloon
Name: Matilda, 2
Location: Statham, GA
My idea for Matilda's second birthday party was "Red Balloon" because it just seemed so happy. I looked up a lot of ideas online from balloon-themed parties and just made it all red.
I kept the invites simple, but homemade, which I love to do. They were really easy with just a big hole punch and some string.
I have never thrown a party for children (the first party didn't count as there were mostly adults there), so this one was interesting. I tried to keep with food Matilda loved. We had sandwiches (with cherry tomatoes on toothpicks to look like balloons) and fruit. There were cupcakes with toppers to match the invites and I made white chocolate (died red) lolly pops using a mold to also look like red balloons.
There were balloons lining the front walkway and a balloon wreath (thanks to my sister) on our front door that was adorable. I think I may leave it up all summer.
We had a photo area like her first birthday party, this time with a balloon prop and the number 2 sewn on.
My favorite thing about the decorations were the balloons we strung up outside. I really loved them. As it got later, the balloons started heating up and randomly popping. It was hysterical.
As for games, we had sidewalk chalk on the back porch, there was a coloring station where I had made coloring sheets to go with the theme and taped them up as kids finished. We had a pull string pinata that was interesting to make and do. Besides those activities, there was the swing set and sandbox that are always a hit.
It really was so much fun. I loved the colors, it was so fun to plan and Matilda had a great time with her friends.
All of the guests got to leave with some bubbles and a red punch balloon as their party favor. It was a hit.
Thanks, Rachel! See her blog for more details and photos.

We talk to Jane Robinson, senior nurse consultant at Consultus Care and Nursing Limited, and midwife, who qualified as a nurse in 1983.
Why did you decide to become a nurse?
From a young age I liked to help people and was often told I had a compassionate nature. With a mother and an aunt in the profession, you could say there was inevitability about it.
Where did you train?
I did my general training at Farnborough School of Nursing in London, on the site of what is now the Princess Royal Hospital. My midwifery training was done at Pembury Hospital, now the site of The Tunbridge Wells Hospital.
What was your first job?
I worked on a general medical ward in a cottage hospital in Beckenham, south London.
What is the trait you least like in yourself and why?
I'm terrible at delegating. If something needs doing quickly, I'd rather add it to my workload to be sure it gets done.
From whom have you learnt most in your nursing career?
My midwifery tutor, Mrs Wendy Campbell. She used to take us up to the wards for tutorials and taught us to use our eyes and ears above all else.
What advice would you give someone starting out?
There are three key things to remember: don't be afraid to ask questions; learn to prioritise your workload; and remember that every nurse has had to go through the same learning curve and things will become less daunting.
What's the most satisfying part of your job?
In my role as a midwife it's giving new parents the confidence and self-belief that they will be able to look after their newborn baby. In my role with Consultus, it's the feeling of really making a difference when sending out a nurse. This could allow someone to spend whatever time they have left at home with their family.
What do you think will change nursing in the next decade?
It's difficult to believe the cuts being made won't impact on nursing but I couldn't begin to predict how things will look in 10 years. I hope the quality of nursing remains high. It's vital to deliver a health service that cares effectively for, and about, its patients.
Which job would you have done if you hadn't become a nurse?
Something in textile design. I've always been interested in it.
What job would you like to be doing in five years?
Exactly what I'm doing now.
What do you think makes a good nurse?
It's very cliched but it's true - a caring and compassionate nature really is the cornerstone of every good nurse. Good communication and listening skills are also a big help.
If you could change one thing in healthcare, what would it be?
Now and again decisions are made to balance the books, but have a detrimental effect on services. I'd ensure this didn't happen.
What's your ideal weekend?
A walk on the beach with my family and dog, and a pub lunch.
If you could spend an hour with someone, who would it be?
On occasion the live-in nursing service we provide at Consultus works with local hospices to share nursing care. I would love to have spent an hour with Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of St Christopher's, the world's first purpose-built hospice. What an amazing lady.

text: I LOVE this site! Okay I have some burning questions - if I already have 3 Balenciagas, is it stupid to get the Twiggy? And are they passe or have they been established as a classic? I made a horrendous error on a Luella a year ago and I do not want to repeat it... Other big question: the Chloe Silverado - is it worth it? I have the Paddington and passed up an opportunity to get the large doctor Silverado. It seemed too big and almost like a weekend bag, and for $1700, I wanted to be madly in love with it. Did I make a huge mistake? So finally, if I neg both of these, are there any absolutely spectacular new bags? I have made some constly mistakes and now want to think about my purchases more carefully. I have a Bottega, some Mulberrys, a Fendi Spy which I love. So far I have not been super inspired by any other fall bags. Any recommendations? Thanks!

A mile higher
When it comes to marijuana competitions, High Times magazine has the market. Its Cannabis Cup, held in Amsterdam every year since 1987, is considered the preeminent place to party, partake of and pass judgment on strains from all over the world. (Last year's winner? Tangerine Dream.)
Recently, the magazine combined its expert experience with the booming medical marijuana movement to create several big events in the U.S. Last year, it was a competition in San Francisco, an event that executive editor Dan Skye says couldn't have gone better.
"We wouldn't be doing this," he says, "unless San Francisco did so well."
"This" is the magazine's next venture: Denver's inaugural Medical Cannabis Cup. The 18-and-up competition will be April 2 and 3 at the Exdo Event Center (1399 35th St.), featuring strains tested by Full Spectrum Laboratories from dispensaries across the state. Speakers will include UCCS' Dr. Robert Melamede and Kathleen Chippi of the Patient and Caregiver Rights Litigation Project; hip-hop artist Kid Cudi is scheduled to headline an opening-night party.
"Basically, we're just trying to discover what the best strains in Colorado are," Skye says. "I think High Times has a bit of cachet — we've been in business for 37 years and we're kind of like, considered the Bible of the counterculture — and people always expect a good time when we put on an event."
Don't come to me ...
Doctors Manuel Aquino and Paul Bregman have become the first Colorado physicians to lose their ability to recommend MMJ, the Denver Post reports.
Aquino voluntarily surrendered his license before the Colorado Medical Board could take it — as the board was seeking to do — after he recommended MMJ to a woman who was six months pregnant.
As for Bregman, the newspaper says that the Medical Board received information that the doctor "has a condition that has harmed his ability to serve his patients." We e-mailed the good doctor for more information and received no response.
Bud shake
• Marijuana Patient Advocates will "continue discussion and learning" at 2 p.m., Sunday, March 13 at the East Library (5550 N. Union Blvd., meetup.com/mmj-coloradosprings) in Community Room II.
• The New York Times reports efforts are underway to repeal Montana's MMJ law. Its state House passed a repeal by a wide margin and the Senate is considering it. If successful, the state would be the first among the 15 MMJ states (plus the District of Columbia), to disallow availability.

Householders will have to fork out up to £30 a year to have garden waste removed from their homes if the new green bin collection gets the go-ahead.
Green bin collections are currently carried out on a fortnightly basis between April and October, with this schedule set to remain unaltered by the fee introduction.
Waste which is collected in green bins includes gras cuttings, hedge trimmings, leaves, turf, twigs, weeds and house plants.
The assortment of green waste from across the borough is then handed over to contractors who turn into nutrient-rich compost for farms and gardens, instead of it being sent to landfill.
It is proposed that the charge be brought into force in April of next year.
The standard cost for the service will be £30 per year. However, a discounted rate of £25 per bin per year will be offered to those who sign up before December 31 of this year.
Residents will also have the chance to make a bulk purchase of bin collection for three years at a rate of £65 - a saving of £25 over the period - if they pay before December 31.
Should be the proposals be agreed, presentations will be made at Community Area Forums this month with information leaflets delivered to residents in October.
The leaflets will highlight the benefits to the environment of continuing to recycle green waste and will outline the negative impact of fly tipping.
The council say that the charging measures would bolster town hall coffers bring in an initial £350,000, which this figure rising to £500,000 after the start-up period.

Clinical trials must cope better with multiplicity
Nature: November 7, 2012
Clinical trials typically address more than one question. But in attempting to protect against misleading results that are due to chance when multiple interrelated tests are run simultaneously, researchers sometimes apply overly strict statistical devices that mask true effects. They should give more consideration to choosing the type of statistical analysis that fits best.
After pouring millions of dollars into developing a drug, researchers want to learn not only whether a drug works but what the magnitude of its effect is, what clinical outcomes it affects and who should receive it. Thus they ask many questions of data collected in clinical studies. However, these interwoven questions can present a challenge when it is time for the statistical analysis of the trial's results. With the increasing complexities of clinical trials, scientists need to be more thoughtful when it comes to choosing how they crunch the numbers. Biomedical researchers do not always choose the statistical constructs that suit their studies best, and as a result the studies they publish might miss real effects from the interventions under investigation.

Insurance Law
Bay Area/San Francisco Insurance Lawyer
While there are many honest insurance companies, some try to maximize their profits by refusing to honor legitimate business, personal, and property damage claims. The Zurada Law Firm has negotiated and litigated numerous insurance coverage disputes involving both first and third party claims.
First party claims are disputes over the insurance policy between an insured and their insurer and typically center on whether the insurer is obligated to pay for a claim under the policy or whether the insurer has made a reasonable payment to the insured to compensate them for a loss. Third party claims are disputes between a person injured by an insured and the insured, with the insurance company taking over the defense of their insured in order to limit the insurer's liability.
The Zurada Law Firm represents businesses and individuals in various insurance areas:
- General Liability Insurance
- Homeowner's Insurance
- Auto Insurance
- Property & Casualty
- Excess & Umbrella Liability
- Long-Term Disability Insurance

IFAW in your Estate Plan
Naming IFAW in your Will or Trust
Including IFAW in your Will or Trust is one of the easiest and most valuable gifts you can give to the animals.
If you do not have a Will or Trust, or have not included IFAW, why not take the opportunity to do so now? It's simple: You can leave IFAW:
* a specific $ amount
* specific property (such as securities, savings bonds, real estate, or personal property)
* after providing for loved ones, a percentage or portion of what remains of your estate (at less risk from inflation this option provides the most benefit for animals)
If you already have a Will or Trust, there is no need to change or redraw the entire document. A simple, and substantially less costly, "Codicil" or "Amendment" to the original document may suffice.
Naming IFAW in your Life Insurance Policy, Retirement Account (IRA, 401K, Roth, etc.) or financial account (CD, savings, etc)
Most financial accounts allow you to designate IFAW as a beneficiary upon your passing. Simply contact your bank or your plan administrator for specific instructions.
Always consult a professional before establishing or amending your Will or other estate documents. He or she will need the following:
* IFAW is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt non-profit organization
* Our legal name: "International Fund for Animal Welfare, Inc."
* Our legal address: 290 Summer St., Yarmouth Port, MA, 02675, USA
* IFAW's Federal identification number is: 31-159-4197
Suggested Bequest Language:
"I give, devise, and bequeath to the International Fund for Animal Welfare, a nonprofit organization, located at 290 Summer Street, Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts, 02675, USA, the sum of $_____ (or specific property, or a designated percentage or remainder of my estate) to be used by IFAW to further its goal to assist and protect animals around the world."

The Care Act 2014
In April 2015 The Care Act 2014 replaced most previous laws regarding carers and people being cared for. It outlines the way in which local authorities should carry out carer's assessments and needs assessments; how local authorities should determine who is eligible for support; how local authorities should charge for both residential care and community care; and places new obligations on local authorities.
From April 2015 there are national eligibility criteria for both carers and the person being cared for. There is a national minimum threshold and if a carer or the person being cared for meets this threshold, they will have eligible needs. From April 2015 you are entitled to a carer's assessment where you appear to have needs, this matches the rights to an assessment of the person being cared for. You will be entitled to support if you meet the national eligibility criteria.
There's more information about The Care Act here.

crude oil
WTI Trades Near Four-Week High on Cushing Supplies
- Details
- Category: crude oil
- Published on Tuesday, 20 May 2014 13:51
- Written by Bloomberg By Lananh Nguyen and Grant Smith - May 20, 2014
West Texas Intermediate traded near a four-week high amid speculation that crude supplies will shrink further at Cushing, the biggest U.S. oil-storage hub. Brent was steady in London after Libya's government offered concessions to defuse renewed tensions.
Futures were little changed in New York after rising 0.6 percent yesterday. Total U.S. crude inventories were unchanged after increasing five of the last six weeks, a Bloomberg News survey shows. A rogue general in eastern Libya, whose forces attempted to dissolve the parliament in Tripoli, gained support among soldiers and some separatist groups.
"The U.S. recovery is gaining ground and that is positive for energy demand, and it's drawing on inventories," Jens Naervig Pedersen, a commodities analyst at Danske Bank A/S, said by phone from Copenhagen. "Demand is picking up and that is positive for prices."
WTI for June delivery was at $102.56 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange, down 5 cents, at 1:33 p.m. London time. The contract, which expires today, climbed 59 cents to $102.61 yesterday, the highest close since April 21. The volume of all futures traded was about 4.5 percent above the 100-day average for the time of day. The more-active July contract added 5 cents to $102.16.
Brent for July settlement was 7 cents lower at $109.30 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. The European benchmark crude was at a premium of $7.16 to WTI on ICE for the same month. The spread narrowed for a second day yesterday to close at $7.26.
Cushing Stockpiles
WTI slid for a second month in April as U.S. crude inventories expanded to a record 399.4 million barrels, the highest level since the Energy Information Administration began publishing weekly data in 1982. Supplies were probably at 398.5 million barrels in the week ended May 16, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of seven analysts.
"If we get draws in crude during the lead-up to drive time, that might provide some solid support," said Jonathan Barratt, the chief investment officer at Ayers Alliance Securities in Sydney, who predicts investors may sell WTI if futures advance to $104 a barrel.
Stockpiles at Cushing, Oklahoma, declined to 23.4 million barrels in the seven days through May 9, said the EIA, the Energy Department's statistical arm. That's the least since December 2008. Supplies have decreased as the southern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline began moving oil to Gulf Coast refineries from storage in January. The U.S. is the world's largest oil consumer.
Russian Exercises
"Falling Cushing stockpiles are giving a general upward push in oil, and if they continue to drop prices will be further supported," Will Yun, a commodities analyst at Hyundai Futures Co. in Seoul, said by phone today. "Ukraine remains unresolved, which will have a continuous impact on the market."
Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday ordered forces in the Rostov, Belgorod and Bryansk regions bordering Ukraine to return to their bases after completing exercises, according to the presidential press service. Officials from the U.S. and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization said they saw no immediate evidence of a withdrawal, echoing previous cases where Russia has promised to pull back troops from the border, most recently two weeks ago.
After annexing Crimea in March, Russia has been accused by the government in Kiev and its U.S. and European Union allies of fomenting unrest in the mostly Russian-speaking east of Ukraine. Putin has softened his rhetoric in recent days, welcoming contacts last week between the authorities in Kiev and supporters of a decentralization of powers to the regions.
Libya Clashes
Rebels who hold ports in eastern Libya, where they've been blocking oil exports since July, expressed support for Khalifa Haftar, the retired military leader who heads a self-proclaimed National Army. Haftar is seeking to shut down the country's parliament and crush armed Islamist groups.
He threatened to arrest and send to trial senior ranking members of Libya's General National Congress, government officials and Muslim Brotherhood members on charges of crimes against the Libyan people, in an interview with the London-based Asharq al-Awsat newspaper published today.
In a bid to defuse tensions, the interim government proposed yesterday to hold a vote for a new prime minister, pass a budget and then halt work to allow for elections, according to a statement on the Cabinet website.
"The situation is still a mess there," Pedersen said. "We shouldn't be too optimistic that Libya will succeed in restarting production."
Libya is pumping 210,000 barrels a day, Mohamed Elharari, a spokesman for the National Oil Corp., said today. That's down more than 80 percent from a year earlier, data compiled by Bloomberg show.

Nubes/Clouds premiered in Madrid in 2009 and last year it also graced the stage of London's world-famous Sadler's Wells. It has won the coveted MAX awards for Best Children's Show and Best Costume Design.
We thought that it was an amazing show from start to finish and it was stunningly beautiful to say the very least. We were simply mesmerised throughout the entire performance (both pupils and teachers alike!!!!!). We loved the flipper dance and the ladder dance not to mention the people dancing with no heads!!! The six dancers were superb - bravo to the Spanish dance company Aracaladanza!!!!!
When we returned to school after the performance we discussed, wrote about and drew a picture of our favourite parts. Have a look at the following video to experience a little taste of what we saw and prepare to be amazed!!!!!


text: As smart phones become more and more popular, more things are becoming utilized to be browsed specifically on smartphones. Making money has become very easy on the internet.. and maybe the next easy way to earn a few bucks is from your phone. I have tried a few different apps that allow you to watch sponsored videos, complete surveys, etc. to earn "points" that get transferred into giftcards or paypal cash. Apptrailers has worked well for me so far - in it you basically watch trailers for apps and TV shows and get points for it. I've made about 30$ from it so far. I usually keep my phone next to me while I browse the internet or do other things, and just keep clicking "play video" every time it ends to rack up tons of points. Has anyone here tried using their smart phone to make some cash, and if so do they have any apps that they would recommend?

Biotechnology has changed the way Americans farm. However, some farmers are getting caught in the crosshairs of patent lawsuits.
The Center for Food Safety released an extensive review of Monsanto's use and abuse of U.S. patent law to control the usage of staple crop seeds by U.S. farmers. The report, Monsanto vs. U.S. Farmers, finds that Monsanto's efforts to prosecute farmers can be divided into three stages: investigations of farmers; out-of-court settlements; and litigation against farmers Monsanto believes are in breach of contract or engaged in patent infringement.
CFS notes in the report that, to date, Monsanto has filed 90 lawsuits against American farmers in 25 states that involve 147 farmers and 39 small businesses or farm companies. Monsanto has set aside an annual budget of $10 million dollars and a staff of 75 devoted solely to investigating and prosecuting farmers.
Andrew Kimbrell, executive director of CFS, says the lawsuits and settlements are nothing less than "corporate extortion of American farmers." The largest recorded judgment CFS has found thus far in favor of Monsanto as a result of a farmer lawsuit is $3,052,800.00. Total recorded judgments granted to Monsanto for lawsuits amount to $15,253,602.82. Farmers have paid a mean of $412,259.54 for cases with recorded judgments. Many farmers have to pay additional court and attorney fees and are sometimes even forced to pay the costs Monsanto incurs while investigating them.
"It's hard enough to farm as it is," says Rodney Nelson, a North Dakota farmer sued by Monsanto. "You don't need a big seed supplier trying to trip you up and chase you down with lawyers."
Various policy options supported by CFS include passing local and state-wide bans or moratoriums on plantings of genetically engineered crops; amending the Patent Act so that genetically engineered plants will no longer be patentable subject matter and so that seed saving is not considered patent infringement; and legislating to prevent farmers from being liable for patent infringement through biological pollution.
CFS has established a toll-free hotline for farmers facing lawsuits or threats from Monsanto to get guidance and referrals: 1-888-FARMHLP.

Relyon Group, manufacturer of high quality beds and bedding, employs about 800 people in the South West of the UK. Three years ago, with the increase in Internet use for sales, customer support and particularly e-mail, the company experienced an increasing amount of e-mail viruses. Relyon realised that its desktop-based anti-virus security wasnt 100% effective any more because the company was struggling to get its desktops updated quickly after a new virus was announced. Relyons network administrator, Robert Nash, wanted to take a proactive approach to security and adopt an anti-virus solution that could target viruses at the Internet level. The company chose intYs MailDefender, a managed e-mail security service, as a complete defence against virus infected e-mail.
In 2005 the company noticed the levels of spam it was receiving were rising. On a typical working day Relyon would receive approximately 3900 e-mails with 2900 of them spam and only 1000 being legitimate e-mails. Aside from the nuisance of having to delete them manually, the company was concerned about its employees being exposed to offensive content in the spam. In May this year the Relyon Group also started using MailDefenders Internet level anti-spam filter.
Overall, the 275 employees using MailDefender are very pleased with the results. Spam and viruses no longer reach employee inboxes at all, leaving them free to get on with their work. In addition, both employees and the IT team have benefited from the ease of deployment and management of MailDefender. Relyon only has a small IT team of six people so having this level of protection as a managed service has made life a lot easier for the team and allowed them to concentrate on more pressing IT issues. Three out of four e-mails Relyon receives are spam, commented Robert Nash, network administrator at Relyon. In a company like ours, with a small IT department, a managed service is indispensable as it gives us the level of protection we need against viruses and spam without all the hassle.

Our Story
Our Mission is simple // We want you to Love Bread Again.�
Our Family Is Passionate About Making Real Bread With Wholesome, Clean Ingredients.
We bake bread the old-fashioned way and use only 100% whole grains. From our family bakehouse in the Rocky Mountains to your kitchen, Enjoy Eating Without Compromise.™
When co-founder Christi Skow was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2007, the Canyon Bakehouse mission to make high-quality, great-tasting gluten-free breads began. Frustrated by gluten-free breads that lacked in taste and nutritional value, Christi, her husband, Josh, and their friend and Master Baker, Ed Miknevicius, set out to bake breads that were free from gluten and other allergens, but held the taste, texture and feeling of "real" bread.
Helping People Love Bread Again™
Learn more about the Canyon Bakehouse history and the Skow family's passion for making healthy and safe bread for the entire family.
Behind the Baking: Get to Know Canyon Bakehouse
We're bringing love back to bread one slice at a time. From non-GMO whole grains and food safety to our zero-gluten standard, we're committed to making the best gluten-free products. And we, like our customers, Enjoy Eating Without Compromise™. Learn more about our sustainability efforts and company culture.
Christi Skow Co-Founder
I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2007 after years of being sick. Adapting to a gluten-free lifestyle was hard, but out of everything, I missed bread the most. We founded Canyon Bakehouse with the mission to make gluten-free breads that taste and feel like "real" bread. Now, I no longer see Celiac Disease as something that limits me. Instead, I see it as a healthier way to eat and live.
If you were stranded on a desert island and could only bring one Canyon Bakehouse product, which would it be?
Our 7-Grain is a staple for me, but if I could only bring one, it would be our Cinnamon Raisin bread. It's yummy right out of the bag so no toasting required, and it's healthy, too!
What's your #1 tip to other gluten-free moms?
Try to make the gluten-free lifestyle as normal as possible. One way to do that is to take your favorite recipes and convert them to gluten-free. We use my grandmother's stuffing recipe at Thanksgiving and swap our Canyon Bakehouse bread - no one knows it's gluten-free!
Josh Skow Co-Founder and CEO
Being an entrepreneur, I love having the opportunity to start and run successful businesses. Outside of running Canyon Bakehouse, my time is spent with my wife, Christi, and our three kids. Between school, church, sports, friends and everything that comes in between, we stay busy! So 'relaxation' for us often times means carving out time to do nothing or doodling around with no agenda. We love living in Colorado and being a part of the amazing healthy and outdoor lifestyle that is found here!
If you were a superhero, what would you want for your superpower?
Teleportation - then I could do a lot more traveling without getting stuck in airports and traffic jams. I'm sure this would help me be on time more often, too!
Ed Miknevicius Co-Founder, Retired
The idea for our products was born in fall 2008 when my friend Josh and I sat in a small Colorado café near the Flat Top Wilderness Area discussing the lack of good tasting and healthy gluten free breads. At that point we set out to create gluten-free bakery products that tasted good, were healthy, and had the same texture as regular bread. For me, baking is a passion, and it's my life's work. I am honored to be able to create delicious and healthy baked goods for people who aren't able to eat gluten.
What's your favorite way to spend your free time?
Any chance I get I'll be on a trout stream. The bakery is close to many rivers and fly fishing is the most relaxing and mind-clearing experience for me. Being on the water with my fly rod on a cool summer night or with a snow storm moving in is where I want to be.

Sir Charles Todd KCMG, FRS (7 July 1826 – 29 January 1910) worked at the Royal Greenwich Observatory 1841-1847 and the Cambridge University observatory from 1847-1854. He then worked on telegraphy and undersea cables until engaged by the government of South Australia as astronomical and meteorological observer, and head of the electric telegraph department.
Early life and career
Todd was son of grocer Griffith Todd[2] and Mary Parker,[3] he was born at Islington, London,the third of five children. Shortly after Charles's birth the family moved to Greenwich, where his father set up as a wine and tea merchant. Charles spent most of his life in Greenwich before moving to Australia and was educated there.
In December 1841 he entered the service of the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, under Sir George Biddell Airy. He was fortunate that his school leaving coincided with the Astronomer Royal being granted special funding to employ an additional four young men as computers to analyse, calibrate and publish a backlog of 80 years of data. While at the Royal Observatory he was one of the earliest observers of the planet Neptune in 1846.
He was promoted to Assistant Astronomer at the Cambridge Observatory in November 1847,and officially confirmed in the position the following February. While here he used the recently built Northumberland telescope, and he was the first person to take daguerreotype photographs of the moon through it. While at Cambridge he also gained experience in using the telegraph, this is discussed below.
In May 1854, shortly before his appointment to South Australia, he was placed in charge of the newly formed Galvanic Department at Greenwich. This was to be an extension of work he had done using the electric telegraph at Cambridge.
In February 1855, he accepted the position of Astronomical and Meteorological Observer, and Head of Electric Telegraph Department in South Australia.[1][4] [5] Meteorology was work done by astronomers; it was the recording of data so that the climate in different regions was known. The Royal Observatory was run by the Admiralty. Accurate calculation of time was an important part of the Royal Observatory's responsibilities. Greenwich Time had long been used at sea; ship's navigators relied on its accuracy to calculate their longitude.
During Todd's time at the Greenwich and Cambridge observatories the railway system was expanding, and the electric telegraph was invented. Faster railway travel, and the need for timetables and signalling systems, necessitated a change from using solar time in different regions to a standardised railway or London time (later Greenwich Mean Time). The electric telegraph made it possible to transmit information, including time, at practically instantaneous speed. So the development of the electric telegraph was driven by the requirements the railways.
At about the time Charles Todd moved to Cambridge, George Airy arranged the connection of the Greenwich Observatory to the nearby telegraph line that was being built by the South Eastern Railway. This gave the observatories access to the electric telegraph, and the railway company access to accurate time.
Once the electric telegraph was in place, the observatory was able to control clocks and time balls at any place there was telegraphic connection. It was also possible to perform a number of astronomical and other experiments. While at Cambridge, Charles Todd was a member of a team that determined the exact degrees of longitude at Greenwich and Cambridge using the electric telegraph.
Todd's work as head of the Galvanic Department at Greenwich was to be an extension of his work using the electric telegraph. In particular, it was to transmit electric time signals to slave clocks and time balls, and to coordinate simultaneous astronomical or meteorological observations at multiple distant locations.
Superintendent of telegraphs
Todd, along with his 18-year-old wife Alice Gillam Bell[2][6] (after whom Alice Springs is named), arrived in Adelaide on 5 November 1855. They were accompanied by Todd's assistant, 24-year-old Edward Cracknell and his wife. (Cracknell subsequently became superintendent of telegraphs in New South Wales). On his arrival Todd found that his department was a very small one without a single telegraph line. The first line was opened in February 1856, and in June of that year he recommended that a line between Adelaide and Melbourne should be constructed.
Todd personally rode over much of the country through which the line would have to pass. Todd, and his counterpart in Victoria, proceeded to link the two colonies' telegraph systems near Mount Gambier in July 1858.[4]
Transcontinental line
In 1859 Todd conceived the idea of the transcontinental line from Adelaide to Darwin, Northern Territory. Most of the country in between except for the explorations of Charles Sturt and others was unknown, and it was many years before Todd could convince the South Australian government of the practicability of the scheme.
In January 1863 Todd addressed the Adelaide Philosophical Society about the possibility of building telegraph routes that would link to an overseas cable. In 1868 the direct line between Adelaide and Sydney was completed and was used to determine the 141st meridian, the boundary line between South Australia and Victoria. Todd's calculations showed it to be 2¼ miles farther east than had previously been determined. This led to the long-drawn-out dispute between the two colonies.
By 1870 it had been decided that the transcontinental line should be constructed from Port Augusta in the south to Port Darwin in the north, though the other colonies declined to share in the cost. The southern and northern sections of the line were let by contract, and the 1000 miles in between was constructed by the department.[4]
The contractor at the northern end threw up his contract and Todd had to go to the north himself and finish it. Everything had to be sent by sea and then carted, but he met each difficulty as it arose, and overcame it successfully. The line was completed on 22 August 1872, but the cable to Darwin had broken and communication with England was not effected until 21 October.
Todd had been given the position of postmaster-general in 1870, and henceforth ruled as a benevolent autocrat thoroughly trusted by his staff and the ministers in charge of his department.[4]
Later career
His next great work was a line of about 1000 miles to Eucla, establishing communication between Adelaide and Perth. In 1885 he attended the international telegraphic conference at Berlin. He continued to control his department with ability, and when the colonies were federated in 1901 it was found that, in spite of its large area and sparse population, South Australia was the only one whose post and telegraphic department was carried on at a profit. Todd continued in office as deputy-postmaster-general until 1905.[4]
In 1886 Todd travelled to Great Britain, where he was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society, the Royal Meteorological Society and of the Society of Electrical Engineers. Todd continued in his duties to posts and telegraphs in South Australia, until the newly federated Commonwealth of Australia took over all such services on 1 March 1901 and Todd became a federal public servant at the age of 75. He retired in December 1906, having been over 51 years in the service of the South Australian and Commonwealth governments.[4]
Astronomical work
Though so much of his time was taken up by the duties of the postal department, Todd did not neglect his work as government astronomer. Using the Adelaide Observatory, completed in 1860 and which was thoroughly equipped with astronomical and meteorological instruments and he contributed valuable observations to the scientific world on the transits of Venus in 1874 and 1882, the cloudy haze over Jupiter in 1876, the parallax of Mars in 1878, and on other occasions.
He selected the site of the new observatory for Perth in 1895 and advised on the building and instruments to be obtained. He was the author of numerous papers on scientific subjects, many of which were printed in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.[4]
Meteorological work
Charles Todd was one of the pioneers of meteorology in Australasia. As the Government Meteorological Observer for the Colony of South Australia, he worked with his counterparts in the other British colonies and established the Australia-New Zealand weather observation network. His work in meteorology started with his arrival in South Australia, as he had brought with him a number of meteorological instruments that had been calibrated to instruments at Greenwich.
However, his main contribution to meteorology began with the completion of the Australian and New Zealand telegraph systems in the mid to late 1870's. Being at the centre of the network, Todd used weather observations from all the Colonies to create extensive synoptic charts. In the early 1880s Todd and his staff at the West Terrace Observatory in Adelaide were drawing inter-continental weather charts that had greater geographical reach than any other jurisdiction in the world.[7]
Todd's ability to pull together the individual threads of technology, weather science, and a widely dispersed group of weather observers put him in the forefront of the profession. His chief mentor in this field was James Glaisher, one of the founders of the science of meteorology.
One of Todd's legacies is the 63 volume Weather Folio collection covering the period 1879-1909. These volumes have been digitally imaged by volunteers of the Australian Meteorological Society in conjunction with the South Australian Regional Office of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. Atmospheric pressure data from these journals has been digitised and sent to the NOAA for inclusion in the International Surface Pressure Databank as part of the ACRE project.
Death and legacy
Todd died at his summer home, Semaphore, near Adelaide, on 29 January 1910, and was buried at North Road Cemetery, Adelaide, on 31 January. The Sir Charles Todd Building at the University of South Australia, Mawson Lakes Campus is named after him.[8] The Astronomical Society of South Australia have also named the observatory that houses their 20 inch Jubilee Telescope, the Sir Charles Todd Observatory.[4] Each year the Telecommunications Society of Australia invites a prominent member of the telecommunications industry to present the Charles Todd Oration.
His daughter Gwendoline married the physicist William Henry Bragg and was mother of William Lawrence Bragg, both of whom shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915.[1]
