When I was a child, I was an obvious transkid, a delicate, moody sissy. I loved books far more than sports, played with dolls and all those things that marked me out as different.
When I went to school I was bullied unmercifully.
I lived in terror of coming home from school and running a gauntlet of kids calling me names, throwing stones at me, hitting me and threatening me.
When I complained about the bullying I was called a tattle tale.
Even my mother asked what I had done to provoke the bullying.
No one really did anything to stop the bullying. None of the bullies were punished for their actions, indeed a couple of them were considered the star students while my education suffered and I lived in terror.
One day, I think I was in second grade, a bunch of the bullies had me trapped and were threatening to throw me down a steep embankment into a nasty garbage filled drainage ditch.
I was terrified and grabbed a stick or a rock and lashed out hitting one of them in the head and lay open a wound that gushed blood, enormous quantities of blood.
I was punished, put on detention.
The bullying stopped. I had acted out of fear and had struck back frantically and landed a lucky blow but that was enough.
My country is a bully nation and has been governed by way too many bullies.
Since the Civil War white racists have denied African American people their rights as citizens, even though there were Constitutional amendments guaranteeing those rights.
After World War II liberal and progressive people were subjected to horrible witch hunts and were labeled as Communists for supporting real American values of equality and fairness.
Black people and white allies in the Civil Rights Movement were murdered by the KKK and their suit wearing kin, the Concerned Citizen Councils.
Juries let the murderers off.
Some African Americans in the south bought guns and armed themselves forming the Deacons for Self-Defense.
But more importantly an organization was formed that wasn't afraid of the Klan and was willing to meet the Klan's violence with violence.
Now we have People for the American Way and the Southern Poverty Law Center tracking hate groups that preach violence against women and minorities.
And now the bigots and racists wear suits.
It seems like half our society is consumed with hatred and bigotry. Indeed they have made misogyny, homophobia, racism and war on working/poor people their party platform.
Now hate groups call themselves "Think Tanks" and "Family blahblahblah". Their leaders preach hatred and bigotry while trying to pass laws that reflect their hatred of women, people of color, LGBT people.
Attention whores like Tony Perkins and Porno Pete LaBarbera would do anything to be in the spotlight bullying LGBT people.
They wear suits and gold cuff links instead of Klan robes and swastika tattoos but their bigotry and hatred is the same as that preached by Aryan Nation and the KKK.
Behind the scenes Tony Perkins paid Klan Leader David Duke $82,500 for his mailing list.
From Southern Poverty Law Center
In 1996, while managing the U.S. Senate campaign of Woody Jenkins against Mary Landrieu, Perkins paid $82,500 to use the mailing list of former Klan chieftain David Duke. The campaign was fined $3,000 (reduced from $82,500) after Perkins and Jenkins filed false disclosure forms in a bid to hide their link to Duke. Five years later, on May 17, 2001, Perkins gave a speech to the Louisiana chapter of the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), a white supremacist group that has described black people as a "retrograde species of humanity." Perkins claimed not to know the group's ideology at the time, but it had been widely publicized in Louisiana and the nation, because in 1999 — two years before Perkins' speech to the CCC — Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott had been embroiled in a national scandal over his ties to the group. GOP chairman Jim Nicholson then urged Republicans to avoid the CCC because of its "racist views."
The right wing has so cowed the main stream media that few dare call these hate groups for being the bigots and Nazis they are.
Oh no…
We are supposed to respect them because they wear suits and ties instead of wearing robes and Nazi like uniforms.
But beneath the veneer of social acceptability, behind their robes of piety and claims of religion they are nothing but Nazis and bigots.
At this point I am supposed to say something about how horrible and uncivil it is that someone went there with the intention of shooting people.
But it wasn't the LGBT people who preached putting guns in the hands of everyone.
It wasn't the hippie peace people who advocated violence and second amendment remedies.
Feminists haven't been shooting down the advocates of banning abortion.
We listened to the right wing advocate violence against us for more than forty years.
We have been called commies for saying "Give Peace a Chance."
We've been non-violently marching, practicing non-violence even when the police beat us and pepper spray us since the days of the civil rights marches in the 1950s and 1960s.
We have been campaigning for the most American of all values Equal Rights, Respect and Dignity.
Mean while your side has been arming people to the teeth in preparation for a war against "the Zombies" which is their code word for minorities their more blatantly outspoken supporters call "Mud People."
Your side has advocated passing Nuremberg type laws that would make a minority group of Americans permanent second class citizens.
The Family Research Council and these other right wing hate groups have sown the Dragon's Teeth.
Last week the chickens came home to roost.
You can't bully and preach hatred and abuse forever without someone striking back.
There is a level of abuse that is the final straw and while most of us are peaceful gentle people who have been abused too long there are bound to be those who have been abused too much.
The constant rhetoric of woman hating, of racism, of homophobia is bound to unhinge a few who have already been abused too much by misogyny, homophobia and racism.
As for Tony Perkins… I think it is totally pathetic for bullies to whine and cop victim poses because one of the people they victimize hit them back.

Sam Farlow and Stanford Lee will play for the USGA Senior Amateur title after each won two matches Wednesday.
It will be the first USGA final for both players.
Achenbach: Only match play could create this final
Lee beat Logan Jackson in 19 holes in the quarterfinals, and Stu Grendahl, 4 and 3, in the semifinals. Grendahl was playing in his first USGA championship.
Lee was 3 under par in the semifinals, including birdies on Nos. 8-10.
"That's about as good as I can play," said Lee, who played on the PGA Tour from 1976-1980
Farlow beat 1972 U.S. Amateur champion Vinny Giles, 4 and 3, in the quarterfinals, and Frank Ford III, 2 and 1, in the semifinals. Farlow, who lost in last year's semifinals to eventual champion Mike Bell, was 8 over par in the semifinals, but Ford was 11 over.
"It's an honor," he said of playing in the championship's final match. "I can't believe I'm in the final. I feel like I'm going to wake up tomorrow and it's going to be a dream."
Lee was 2 down after 12 holes of his quarterfinal match, but won three of the next four holes. He made birdie on No. 18 to halve the match, then won with a par on the next hole.
Farlow was 2 under par in his quarterfinal match. He won Nos. 12, 13 and 15 to advance.
All four semifinalists earned exemptions into the 2008 U.S. Senior Open.

Around The World Weblog
A massive, super chilly storm is ready to slam into the East later this week because of a process often known as 'œbombogenesis,' and it'll have an enormous affect on air travel. We can cowl winter sports activities or using motorbikes – just ask us for a brand new travel insurance coverage quote. Plus, cowl for activities like abseiling, jet boating, paragliding, snorkelling, kayaking and bungy jumping is included in our insurance policies. I like collecting lots of bits and pieces once I travel with grand plans of turning them into finished items and scrapbooks once I get dwelling. Buuuut, we all know the way it goes: you get dwelling exhausted, and all of the stuff you have collected leads to an enormous ziplock bag you could't throw away. This package was born out of my want to doc on the go and provides myself a place to put all of the bits and items, whether or not I find yourself creating something with it or not.
Lastly, the field consists of more espresso protein and one other shaker. The shaker got here just in time as a result of I'm starting to depart one at work, one upstairs, and one downstairs. This shaker is 25 ounces and made with stainless-steel. I discovered it on Amazon for $7.ninety five, but it did only have 2 stars over 6 opinions. Most individuals seem to say that it doesn't hold up with a number of uses. Lastly, we've got a full-sized 17.fifty six ounce bag of Chike's excessive protein espresso. I'll admit that I haven't tried the previous sample but -partly as a result of I had lots of samples (and a giant bottle I bought after making an attempt a pattern in a earlier field) and partly as a result of I usually drink my protein after exercises at night. A friend did inform me that he really favored this protein, although. Chike claims that each serving has as much caffeine as one cup of espresso and sells this bag for $32.ninety five.
In late l991 and early 1992, at the time of the first Intifada, Joe Sacco spent two months with the Palestinians within the West Financial institution and Gaza Strip, travelling and taking notes. Upon returning to the United States he started writing and drawing Palestine, which combines the methods of eyewitness reportage with the medium of comic-ebook storytelling to explore this advanced, emotionally weighty state of affairs. He captures the heart of the Palestinian experience in picture after unforgettable image, with nice insight and remarkable humour. The 9-concern comics sequence won a l996 American Book Award. It is now published for the first time in a single volume, befitting its standing as one of the nice classics of graphic non-fiction.
According to this blog publish on the Tusker Path Adventures website, firm proprietor Eddie Frank is planning to take a scout team to Kilimanjaro in January to seek for this elusive seventh route up the mountain. The other routes – Machame, Marangu, Lemosho, Rongai, Umbwe, and the Northern Circuit – can get quite crowded through the busy time of the 12 months, removing a lot of the solitude and remoteness that many people get pleasure from about adventure travel. But a seventh route would possible add that again into the experience, not to mention a sense of wandering into the unknown.
7. Spend much less money than last year – Finished. As of the end of Q2, I spent 26{cfdab626fbe4b145f736b66d4cd12cdb597dbd22833fa45167fb2ecaa0fa0455} less than final 12 months. Nevertheless, after Q3, after buying quite a lot of new backpacking gear and doing the majority of my yearly traveling, I sunk to only 11{cfdab626fbe4b145f736b66d4cd12cdb597dbd22833fa45167fb2ecaa0fa0455} less than final yr. At the finish of the yr, I ended up spending 10{cfdab626fbe4b145f736b66d4cd12cdb597dbd22833fa45167fb2ecaa0fa0455} lower than final year. I am going to stay in her house. Its an enormous saving for me.I am very excited.i hope you could visit my nation subsequent time. i've not less than by no means heard of a Blogger blog being taken down by a malicious spammer as occurs on a regular basis with WP blogs.

What you don't know (or do) can hurt your bottom line
Having inventory that can be sold quickly for cash is important. But if you can't offload that overstock of $100k items, it won't really matter unless there's a need for them.
So while inventory is one of the primary sources of revenue for the business, it can also be a huge liability. While many businesses, especially when starting up, focus on inventory management (the process of ordering, storing and using a company's inventory) they many not give as much attention to how the account for it. This can be a costly mistake.
Depending on your product, it carries the risk of spoilage, damage and theft. It also carries with it co for storage, insurance, shifting demand or seasonality, mis-shipments, overstock and other factors.
For these reasons, inventory management coupled with inventory accounting is important for businesses of any size. Knowing when to sell or restock inventory, what amounts to purchase or produce, what price to pay as well as when to sell and at what price can easily become complex decisions.
To gain a competitive edge, companies need to have an efficient and effective inventory acounting and management strategies. If neglected, inventory can quickly change from a company asset to an unwanted liability.
Fortunately, a good CFO or financial consultant can provide clear financials and make these decisions easier. We have some tips below to get started.
What is inventory accounting?
Inventory accounting helps determine the value and costs of maintaining inventory. Outside of the obvious, this data is valuable for setting competitive pricing, getting insured, budgeting, optimizing your supply chain, accurate taxes, selling your business, and more.
But the value of inventory can change over time, which makes keeping track a significant challenge.
This is where clear, accurate accounting and financial management can lend a hand.
Accounting methods
There are several widely used ways to go about accounting for inventory. Choose an inventory accounting method that suitable for your business needs to maximize revenue potential, including tax liability.
- FIFO (first in/first out) – This method assumes the items purchased or manufactured first are used or sold first, so the items remaining in stock are the newest ones.
- LIFO (last in/ last out) – This method assumes items purchased or manufactured last are sold first, so the items remaining in stock are the oldest.
- Weighted average – This accounting method opts to average out the total cost of items available for sale against the number of units in inventory or purchased. Typically, this average is computed at the end of an accounting period.
Key financial and operational decisions are made based on the information in these financial statements, forecasts, and projections, including decisions that help you manage shortfalls and overcome industry-wide obstacles. Properly accounting for automotive inventory, whether by FIFO, LIFO, weighted average or by another method plays a vital role in ensuring an enterprise's short and long-term success.

Beyond record keeping: accounting for the value clear financial reporting
Inventory is the lifeblood of most businesses. A critical part of this is knowing what products you have on hand, how much it is worth, how to budget for it and also predict demand.

Red Bags December Blog Round Up – December 2018
Here's what you missed on the Red Bags blog this month.
Here at Red Bags we're focused on bringing you safe and trusted solutions for medical waste disposal. We also keep tabs on the latest happenings in the industry so you can stay up-to-date on everything that's going on. Here's a look at what the month of December brought for news and updates.
We started out the month diving deeper into different types of medical waste and the special ways in which they must be handled for safe disposal.
Handling radioactive waste, for example, requires special procedures, storage vessels, and strict guidelines including a set period of time for the radioactivity to wear off before being disposed. This prevents the spread of disease and protects the public. Learn more.
While it's true that large hospitals are generating tons of medical waste, small clinical practices must also play their part in safe disposal. In our next post for the month, we took a look at some of the types of waste produced at these smaller medical practices as well as the importance of proper disposal in these settings.
Medical waste ranging from sharps and blood-soaked bandages to bodily tissues and even human excretions are common at these facilities. Read more.
To help make it easier for all who come in contact with medical waste, there is a color system for containers to help healthcare workers and the public use caution around the waste. For example:
- Black containers are used specifically for waste that's classified as hazardous waste.
- Yellow containers are reserved for trace chemotherapy products.
- Red containers are used for either sharps disposal (when in the appropriate labeled container) or as a disposal container for any infectious or blood contaminated waste like IV tubing.
Check out our Medical Waste Segregation Series to learn more about the specific colors used and what types of waste should be placed there.
Stay up to date on medical waste regulations, and other news by subscribing to the Red Bags blog.

As Susan Adamucci drove her 12-year-old son to school last Wednesday, she heard on the radio that a building was in peril in downtown Buffalo.
A short time later she learned the property being torn down included Two Wheels Bakery & Cafe, which she opened in April 2018 as the city's lone fully gluten-free bakery.
Adamucci estimated the overall loss in bakery and restaurant equipment at between $80,000 and $90,000.
"This whole experience has been devastating," Adamucci said. "I have a family. I'm the sole breadwinner in that family, and I put a lot of time and money and energy and love into this venture."
The emergency demolition at 435 Ellicott St. was issued after the roof collapsed inside the 1860s-era, three-story Italianate brick building. Adamucci rushed to the site, but could only watch helplessly knowing her two ovens, double refrigerator and freezer – as well as a ventless hood and an exhaust hood that by themselves cost $39,000 – were irretrievable.
Adamucci, 50, is expecting to find out this week if she will recoup equipment losses from her insurance company. She also plans to sue property owner Bruce Adler of Buffalo Properties Ltd., registered downstate in Nyack, to cover lost income and other losses.
This was the second major structural collapse at the building over the past 3½ months.
Two Wheels Bakery had been closed since Aug. 21, when a chimney crumbled, damaging the roof and causing bricks to fall on the south side of the building.
In addition to Two Wheels, the building had two upstairs apartments that also became uninhabitable that day.
Flying bricks also forced the closure of Puppy Playpen, located in an Adler-owned building next door.
A structural engineering report called for by the city specified that the damage needed to be repaired.
"At that point, the building was definitely salvageable," Adamucci believed. "All Adler needed to do was get the roof done and repair a few rows of bricks."
But no work was done during the 104 days that transpired between the first roof collapse on Aug. 21 and the Dec. 4 emergency demolition triggered by the additional roof damage.
Preservationist calls demo of 1860s building 'a system-level failure'
Adler, who owns multiple properties on Ellicott and Oak streets, has a history of housing court violations. But the seven citations written up for 435 Ellicott St. – six filed on Aug. 22, and a seventh on Sept. 4 – failed to make their way to Housing Court Judge Patrick M. Carney during that time period.
Adler, whose insurance claim in August was rejected, could not be reached to comment.
For Adamucci, the demolition capped a difficult period with her landlord that began after she signed a lease in November 2015. Adler failed to reconfigure unsafe basement stairs or put in wooden flooring stipulated in her lease, Adamucci said. She was forced to pay for the work so she withheld rent for a year to compensate, she said.
Adamucci was still determined to make the space work because she felt the location was ideal.
"I wanted to be downtown and easily accessible," Adamucci said, referring to its proximity to the Kensington Expressway. "I loved that it was at the end of the 33 to make it easy for people that were not in the city, or were even a little afraid of the city to come in, too. It also had a beautiful courtyard in the back.
"I also loved the beautiful brick building," she said. "I really felt like the building had been sitting for the most part, but we were going to bring life back to it."
Adamucci suffers from an autoimmune disease, and she opened her gluten-free bakery in April 2018 to be a safe place to eat for people unable to digest gluten. The chocolate cherry and lemon currant scones, red velvet cake, double chocolate cookies and other offerings were meant to appeal to everyone.
"A lot of people who were not gluten-free were coming in for these items," Adamucci said. "That was the concept. When I hit a recipe and my tester said I can't even tell this is gluten-free, that's when I had a winner."
The growing business and glowing testimonials on social media gave her confidence she had made the right choice.
"We had a phenomenal summer," Adamucci said. "We were showing a lot of growth and were beginning to cover all of our operating costs," she said, noting it can take two years for a restaurant to operate in the black.
But Adamucci said she could not ultimately compensate for the landlord's neglect.
"I was just trying to run my business and make it work,' Adamucci said. "I really felt like I had this horrible landlord but if I just focused on the business and paid my rent then I would be OK. It didn't work out."
Adamucci said she has been deeply moved by the "the support and love" received the last several days. The owners of Feature Eatery, located downtown, have allowed her to use their kitchen so she can keep her wholesale business going, including baking gluten-free pies for Thanksgiving and preparing baked products for Christmas.
"They have allowed us to come into their kitchen twice a week since this happened in August, and they won't let us pay them," Adamucci said. "It makes me want to cry to think about the kindness that they have shown us."
A GoFundMe campaign to help Two Wheels recover can be found at gofundme.com/f/two-wheels-bakery-amp-cafe.
Adamucci has plans to rebound by relocating to not one but two sites.
One would be a retail baking operation she plans to open in early 2020 at a building rented at 1006 Grant St. in Black Rock.
A cafe is also planned on the West Side at the corner of Plymouth and Pennsylvania avenues. She expects to open in the spring with the help of an investor.
Adamucci said she hopes the city will be prodded by what happened to better police out-of-town landlords who don't maintain their properties.
"There's a big hole in this beautiful block," Adamucci said. "People could say it was an old building, but there are tons of buildings that are the same age that are fine.
"I hope the city will now put in place policies to hold commercial landlords responsible for these buildings that are just crumbling," she said. "Imagine if – God forbid – anyone had gotten hurt that day."

With just over a week to go before qualifying ends for the fourth Democratic presidential candidate debate, to be held in October, the Democratic National Committee has announced new, higher qualifications for its November debate (place and time still TBD). Since every candidate who qualified for the September event in Houston automatically made the cut for October, this could be the first "winnowing" measure in a good while.
The thresholds for "grassroots fundraising" didn't change that much: Candidates must now show they have at some point in the cycle raised money from 160,000 donors (as opposed to 130,000, previously) with at least 600 (previously 400) in 20 states. While the new thresholds could distort fundraising efforts for more marginal candidates, it's unlikely any of those on the October stage will fall off in November because of fundraising — unless they just run out of money and drop out of the race (as Cory Booker's campaign has said might happen to him if it doesn't reach its third-quarter money goals).
Nor will the new polling requirements (3 percent in four specified national or early state polls, or 5 percent in two early state polls, beginning with polls taken last week and running until seven days before the November debate) represent a problem for the stronger candidates, who almost always poll above three percent (a group that currently includes Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, and Kamala Harris. But some next-tier hopefuls could experience some problems. There have been only three qualifying debates so far: two national surveys (NBC News/Wall Street Journal and Fox News) and one from Iowa (Ann Selzer's poll for the Des Moines Register, CNN, and Mediacom). Booker has met the new threshold in two of them; Amy Klobuchar, Beto O'Rourke, and Andrew Yang have met it in one. October debate qualifier Tom Steyer and possible qualifier Tulsi Gabbard haven't met any so far; nor have the other candidates who failed to qualify for September.
The new higher but narrower qualifying option for early-state polls is probably tailor-made for Steyer, who can just pick a state or two and spend tens of millions of dollars on ads there. It could also help Klobuchar, who's predictably doing better in Iowa than she is nationally or in other early states.
All in all, the new qualifying thresholds are mostly of interest to those who are shrieking in anguish at the likely reappearance of a second debate night in October. The odds are reasonably good that at least one or two October qualifiers won't make it past the higher thresholds and will put the debate stage far beyond reach of the bottom-feeders who stubbornly refuse to drop out. Maybe for its next debate, in December, the DNC could help us out by administering a lie-detector test to see which candidates really believe they have a prayer of finishing in the top six or so in Iowa.

Deciding whether or not to make an investment in your business — whether it's hiring a consultant, enrolling in a course, getting a new piece of software — is always a bit of a gamble.
You're trying to manage your risk, manage your cash flow, predict the future, evaluate the opportunity cost, and a million other parts and pieces.
All to answer the question, "Will it be worth it"? Because when it comes to return on investment, that's the question we're really trying to answer.
Many entrepreneurs ask whether the investment will make enough money to cover the expenses. But that's just scratching the surface. The return on investment question goes much deeper than that and involves many factors.
For the next month, we'll be talking about return on investment, how to think about it, how to evaluate it when it's murky, and, ultimately, how to use that to make better decisions about investment in your business.
To kick us off, today I'm talking to Michelle Mazur, the founder of Communication Rebel. Michelle helps business owners shake things up (but having trouble talking about it) through their messaging. In this episode, Michelle shares some of the significant investments she's made in her business that had a long payoff, her approach for evaluating investments in her business, and her view on the intangible, long-term benefits of those investments.
Listen to the full episode to hear:
- The framework for making investment decisions
- What categories of things to consider and evaluate against
- How to consider the intangible benefits that are often hard to measure
- When big investments don't always pay off

Having already beaten the Colosseum, the Acropolis and the Eiffel Tower to become Europe's official Leading Tourist Attraction, we've now sailed our way to victory, becoming the World's Leading Tourist Attraction!! With over 1 million votes cast from over 216 countries in the awards, known as the 'Tourism Oscars', Titanic Belfast was awarded the title this afternoon, after beating off stiff competition from eight global finalists – including Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, the Las Vegas Strip, USA, Machu Picchu, Peru and Guinness Storehouse, Ireland. It is the first time an attraction from Ireland, North or South, has won the prestigious accolade. Tim Husbands MBE, our Chief Executive, said; "Over the past few years, we have continued to go from strength to strength but to be voted the World's Leading Tourist Attraction by both the industry and the public for excellence and for our original product, is really the jewel in our crown. We are delighted that this award firmly shines a spotlight not only on Titanic Belfast but Belfast and Northern Ireland, and celebrates our authentic insight and connection to RMS Titanic. "The Titanic story captures hearts and minds throughout the world and at Titanic Belfast, this is no exception. Our interpretation of the story and ability to engage with visitors on many different levels has been fundamental in winning this award. With the award, we hope to attract more tourists to Northern Ireland to discover it. A huge thank you to our staff and all our supporters that voted, locally and across the world, to help us reach this iconic goal of being the World's Leading Tourist Attraction." –

Substantial progress has been made in developing the ACR/NEMAstandard for networking the imaging systems of various vendors.While full ACR/NEMA connectivity for new systems is still at leasta year away, equipment vendors are moving the process along
Substantial progress has been made in developing the ACR/NEMAstandard for networking the imaging systems of various vendors.While full ACR/NEMA connectivity for new systems is still at leasta year away, equipment vendors are moving the process along byopening up their proprietary protocols to third-party interfacedevelopers.
Picker International took a major step in that process at theRadiological Society of North America conference this month. Themultimodality imaging vendor signed agreements with four picturearchiving and communications systems firms to improve access toits scanner data and proprietary image networks.
Fuji also revealed that it has contracted with Analogic todevise an interface board for its computed radiography products.The medical film and electronic imaging vendor will make thisinterface available to PACS integrators that wish to connect toFuji equipment, according to David Armstrong, equipment divisiondirector for Fuji Medical Systems in Stamford, CT.
"A PACS vendor with a network will come to us and saythey have the entire thing wired but don't have a CR unit. Inmost cases we will cooperate," Armstrong said.
As part of Picker's PACS agreement:
NEMA interface into Picker CT, MRI and nuclear systems;
Picker's intention is not to become a PACS supplier itselfbut to make its equipment compatible with the variety of PACSoptions on the market, said Timothy B. Hansen, vice president.
"We are adopting a very simple policy of connectivity,"Hansen said. "We want to have a port for the variety of workstationsor PAC systems that are going to evolve."
Picker will not be selling AVP equipment, so in that senseit will not be a PACS supplier. However, the vendor's decisionto open up fully to PACS will benefit the growth of this technology,said Thomas J. Goliash, president and CEO of AVP.
"The roadblocks are down from Picker's standpoint, hesaid. "They are taking an aggressive position to open uptheir architecture. We are developing PACS interfaces with them.Picker equipment and our equipment will tie together easily."
Although public disclosure from the scanner vendors has beenscant, many are preparing to move their systems onto ACR/NEMA-definednetworks, said Allan R. Griebenow, president and CEO of Vortech.
"A significant transition is happening. The major (imagingsystem) players certainly are defining network interfaces. Inthe future you will find an ACR/NEMA connection to be a networkconnection, not an individual modality or operating system connection,"he said.
Kodak strongly supports Vortech's open-system ACR/NEMA focus,said Carl F. Kohrt, general manager and vice president for HealthSciences. The world's largest medical film vendor will signalthe durability of its commitment to Vortech and electronic imagingshortly by increasing its equity investment in the smaller firm,Kohrt said at the RSNA meeting.

Here is the history of several of the biggest Europe and America lotteries.
The Powerball
It was first drawn in the year 1992 in April, having developed from a previous game known as Lotto America. More states in the U.S. joined over the years. In the year 2010, Mega Millions and Powerball reached an agreement in which the state lotteries could provide tickets for the two games in contrast with one or the other.
All jackpots were initially paid as an annuity only spread over two decades, but in the year 1997, that changed to two decades and a half and that option was added for taking a cash lump sum that was reduced. Currently, the annuity stands at thirty payments over twenty-nine years.
The largest ever jackpot in Powerball was 1.58 billion dollars and was shared among three ticket holders, from Tennessee, Florida, and California. The three winners chose the cash option, and they picked up prizes worth 327.8 million dollars each before tax.
The Mega Millions
It was started in the year 2002; it rose from The Big Game ashes, which started in the year 1996. In 2003, TX joined the lottery and introduced the Megaplier. The Megaplier multiplies any prize of the non-jackpot. The feature was slowly added across the United States over the next several years, with forty-four of the forty-five jurisdictions who are playing the Mega Millions offering Megaplier currently.
Initially, prizes were paid by a 20-annual-payment annuity only, which has currently changed to an option between a reduced cash sum or thirty payments over twenty-nine years. On October 2013, the game matrix changed to make the odds of winning a prize better and bump up the jackpot value.
The biggest-ever Mega Millions jackpot was also the largest lottery prize in the world, three ticket holders in Maryland, Illinois, and Kansas, split 656 million dollars (474 million dollars cash), all opting for the cash option.
It's an Italian lottery, which started in the year 1997 as a successor to the Enalotto. SuperEnalotto were originally formed by taking the initial numbers drawn in a total of six regional lotteries. The Venetian lottery provided the Jolly number.
In the year 2009, that was changed with two draws currently happening, one for the Jolly number as well as the main numbers and the other one for the Superstar number.
A syndicate having one ticket scooped the biggest-ever prize of the game in October 2010, which was 177.7 million euros, accumulated after a total of eight months of rollovers.
Some of the Lottery Timeline of the United Kingdom
On November 19, 1994, the first Lotto draw ever, called The National Lottery during that time was held.
On June 10, 1995, Business partners Paul Maddison and Mark Gardiner from St Leonards, East Sussex, England won the biggest Lotto prize ever on one ticket when they claimed 22.5 million pounds.
On January 6, 1996, the largest Lotto jackpot that has been ever won, which was 42 million pounds was shared among three anonymous ticket holders. Each holder won 14 million pounds.
On February 5, 1997, a Wednesday Lotto draw was introduced.
On June 12, 1999, the first Thunderball draw happened.
Lotto Extra
On November 13, 2000, for the first time, the National Lottery Extra draw took place.
Lotto Extra
On May 18, 2002, the game was renamed Lotto Extra. The first draw that took place after changing the name was on May 8, 2002.
Dream Number
On July 15, 2006, for the first time, the Dream Number was played.
Postcode Lottery
On January 4, 2008, for the first time, the People's Postcode Lottery from Scotland was drawn.

One of the writers of Star Trek Beyond and Hollywood mainstay Bryan Fuller has said writing the character of Sulu as gay was key to better 'representation'. In Star Trek Beyond, Sulu – played by John Cho – has a same-sex partner with whom he is raising a daughter.
Fuller, who is gay and married, said at the Star Trek 50th anniversary panel: 'I think the bigger picture is that we need gay representation.
'And the fact that they embraced that idea and made John Cho's portrayal as Sulu a gay man was a lovely move of inclusivity. With the science-fiction extrapolation of one universe to the other and the fluidity of sexuality, it feels like there's an explanation that both of those things exist.'

Los Angeles: Hollywood star Gal Gadot will topline historical thriller "Irene Sendler" for Warner Bros.
The actor will also produce the project, her first for her production company Pilot Wave which she formed with husband Jaron Varsano, reported Deadline.

Mom Story: Anna from Goose Grease
I'm Anna Leigh Donado and I live in Brooklyn with my husband and our little 2 year old, Simone Louise. Besides being a wife and a mom, I'm the artistic director of Goose Grease and an artist myself. Goose Grease specializes in custom hand-painted wooden dolls such as wedding cake toppers, families, pets, etc. We have two Etsy shops, Goose Grease and Goose Grease Undone, for D-I-Y wooden craft supplies. My husband, Juan, is finishing his PhD in Philosophy at the New School for Social Research. He's writing his dissertation on French philosopher René Descartes. He is Colombian, from Bogotá, so our life is half Spanish, half English. I learned Spanish from him and a little bit in high school. We are raising Simone to be bilingual and bilingual education is something I never expected I would do. It has been absolutely exciting!
What kind of house do you live in - are you and your family happy here or is there anything you find lacking or would like to change?
We live in a first floor apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. We have a space set up for working –one smaller space I use to paint in the evenings, and another one where we can do the daily shipping from home. We also have a studio in an old warehouse about a 20 minute walk from our house, where Juan does his daily writing and we keep our excess supplies. I also use this space for painting on large canvases when my artistic side is needing a balance from the detailed work of doll painting! We give Simone a lot of freedom when it comes to art-making, so I am most happy that we have many spaces available for her to express her imagination whenever inspiration hits her. We just learned that we are moving soon to the apartment across the hall, which enables us to have our working and living spaces all under the same roof. We are happy for this change!
What do you like best about living there?
I love that we don't need a car and can walk or take public transportation wherever we have to go. We always end up on an adventure someway or another. For instance, just walking around the neighborhood we met an old local woman who ended up constantly bringing gifts for Simone. That type of experience is really unique to the grassroots community that still lives in Brooklyn.
Where do you look for interior inspiration - favorite magazines, websites, or blogs?
My main inspiration comes from necessity. Space is limited in NY, so we are always finding creative ways to set up and re-set up our home.
What is your child's favorite items in your house?
Her musical instrument basket and her CD player. She loves the Beatles' song "Hey Jude" and can periodically be found with her mini guitar around her neck, strumming her own rendition of the Beatles' classic. She also likes scissors, packaging tape, glue, etc.
What places in your neighborhood do you like to shop at?
I love our neighborhood because of its many cultures. One of our favorite places to go, of course, is the local art store –Artist and Craftsman. We go there two or three times a week and Simone really likes picking out a marker.
If you are living in a foreign country, how do you feel about it? How do you meet new people, make new friends? What is it that you miss most about "home"?
I'm from Virginia and Juan is from Colombia, so I guess you could call NY a foreign country to us. Because everything is in close proximity, and other mothers are also out strolling their kids, its pretty easy to meet people here. We also live in a Latino neighborhood, which gives Simone and I many great opportunities for practicing our Spanish.
What is it like to raise a child in your town?
I feel blessed to be able to raise a child in NYC. We still don't go to museums as much as I would like (Simone is 2, so we're not quite at the behavioral level required for quiet museum browsing, but we're getting there ;). Nevertheless, there are so many free events for kids here it's unreal. For instance, Simone had free swimming lessons at a local pool this summer. I moved to Brooklyn when I was 21 and Simone gets to be here since she was born! That's pretty lucky.
What is your idea of a perfect day with your child?
It would begin after a full night's sleep. We would have to pick up from there…
What is a normal day like with your child? What do you do on the weekends?
Juan wakes everyone up in the morning. We have coffee and breakfast, and then he drops Simone off to her preschool, which is a block away from us. We work during the hours she's away, and then at noon I go to pick her up. He heads off to our studio or the library to work on his dissertation or other projects. Simone and I take a walk and then she comes back to the house for a nap while I work on emailing and shipping. When she wakes up I usually paint dolls and have her paint alongside with me. We generally end the afternoon with a walk to the post office, where she loves to sort out the packages and hand them to the attendant. Juan comes home around 5 or 6 and then we all eat dinner together and finish the night listening to music and/or watching the news. Simone goes to sleep, and Juan and I finish our night painting, sanding, and writing.
Tell us a funny story, quote or remark your child recently made.
Simone is just starting to really articulate sentences. That's always amazing to see –how the mind actually begins to construct through language. Recently, someone asked Simone what street she lives on. I wasn't sure how she would respond, as this is a question we've only just begun working on. I was quite surprised when she confidently answered: "I live on Sesame Street."
Can you mention some of your 'how-to-raise-children' advice?
I would say: guided freedom is the key. Especially with arts and crafts. One of our biggest selling products at Goose Grease is our Doll Family DIY kit – which comes with paints, brushes, top coat and everything you need to get started (and finished). A lot of parent's are worried that their kids can't do certain craft projects. They think a five year old would have trouble painting a doll, but that's more the parent's mental chains than the child's incapacity! Put some plastic down, give them an apron, and let the kid go to town! The paint will come off, eventually! Even when Simone was a year old we brought her to the studio and had her painting with acrylic paint because as long as she doesn't eat it, it's good. I love letting Simone explore new, creative things. With great freedom, of course, comes great responsibility, so we're trying to get her to understand that.
What kind of DIY projects do you like to do with your child?
Pretty much everything. From Play dough to painting to cutting to gluing. Simone's current favorite thing are pompoms – which has given us hours of play. We just got a bag with three different sizes, so I have been drawing circles on paper, small, medium and large, and have her glue the matching pompoms onto the painted circles. This teaches her color and size matching.
What do you do with all the projects your child makes at home or in school?
We pack them in a brown envelope and send them off to the grandparents! (We have kept a few good ones though ;)
Does your child have friends over often? If yes, what activities do they do?
Yes, Simone has two favorite friends, Bob and Simon, that come over quite often. Alongside with a painter we've hired in Colombia, Simon's mom, Sandra, has helped us with painting for Goose Grease, so she'll bring Simon over and we'll paint while the kids play.
How do you buy your books? Bookstores? Online?
There is a great program at our local library, where during the weekly story time session, every third week the child gets a free book. We have stocked our shelves with these books! Also, my mom has a childcare center in Virginia, so every visit to her place finds us returning with an arm load of books.
What are some nice activities you can do with children in your area, and what would you recommend when people are visiting?
I just discovered a puppet group that meets once a week in our neighborhood. It has been wonderful. There's a great website called Mommy Poppins that has a running calendar of activities for kids in NYC. I get a lot of ideas from there.
Do you cook together with your child? Does Dad cook?
We all cook together. Juan is really good at marinating the meat and Simone loves to throw in the spices. I once thought of writing a cookbook with one recipe for every day of a year… I think it will be a life-long project.
Do you keep some sort of travel journal with your child?
Yes, I am an avid journaler myself, and I think having a notebook with you at all times is very important. I created one for Simone to use the first time we went to Colombia when she was a year old, hopefully it will be the first of many!
What are your tips for traveling in a plane or on a long road trip with your child?
When I know we're going on a trip, I start setting aside lightweight activities about a week beforehand. Sticker books from DoverArt, finger puppets, I think I even brought some tin foil one time and we sculpted swans and chain bracelets out of it. One time during our flight to Colombia, I had Simone color on some card stock and when we arrived we used them as postcards and sent them to her grandparents in the States.
What a lovely Mom Story, thank you Anna for sharing it with us!

"Extraordinary … Prepare to be blown away."Geoff Andrew, Time Out
French luminary Claire Denis's consensus masterpiece, unavailable when we presented our Denis retrospective in 2019, returns to the screen in a beautiful new restoration! Haunting and hypnotic, Beau Travail re-imagines Melville's Billy Budd as a tale of erotic desire, repression, and jealousy set in the French Foreign Legion. Leos Carax regular Denis Lavant is drill sergeant Galoup, overseeing raw recruits at an outpost in Djibouti. Galoup secretly harbours feelings for his commander, Bruno Forestier (Michel Subor). The arrival of Sentain (Grégoire Colin), an attractive young solder, arouses further feelings of desire — but also envy and obsession. Denis's elliptical approach to storytelling renders this all-male world with well-etched small details. The soundtrack features excerpts from Benjamin Britten's opera of Billy Budd, while elements of dance inform the strikingly balletic choreography of certain scenes. This is a stunning, shimmering work of uncommon poetry and visual beauty. The Bruno character first appeared in Godard's 1960 film Le Petit Soldat, where he was also played by Subor!
"Thrilling … A gorgeous mirage of a movie."Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
"Spellbinding … None of this gifted French filmmaker's previous work has prepared us for the voluptuous austerity of Beau Travail."Stephen Holden, New York Times

Cybersecurity threats were growing long before the advent of Covid-19 but the migration to remote working has seen that risk grow, like the virus itself, exponentially.
For businesses, it has resulted in a crisis of existential proportions.
"Businesses worldwide are facing an increasing number of cybersecurity threats. Attacks are getting more sophisticated and their impact more severe," says Matthijs Egger, Enterprise Ireland's senior market advisor Benelux.
Research backs this up. A survey of more than 5,000 private and public sector organisations across the US, UK and Europe shows 61% of respondents had experienced a cyber-attack in 2019, up from 45% the previous year.
Studies from KPMG find 29% of CEOs now list cybersecurity as the issue having the biggest impact on their company. With good reason – technology company IBM suggests the average data breach in 2020 costs an organisation USD 3.86 million.
Few companies can afford to take such a hit and SMEs are hardest hit. According to the National Cyber-security Alliance, a US non-profit, 60% of small companies that suffer a breach are out of business within six months.
The situation is even graver now, with Covid exposing employers to unprecedented levels of cyber risk as staff work from home, often on their own devices and always on their home networks.
Ireland, the solution to cyber-risk
In today's challenging environment, chief information security officers are turning to Ireland for cyber-security solutions. There are three very good reasons why. These are talent, innovation and trust, says Pat O'Grady Global Lead for Cyber-security at Enterprise Ireland.
"Ireland is a major global hub for cyber-security. It is home to more than 50 world-leading cyber-security companies, and, as a result, has become an international hotbed of cyber talent," he explains.
This cyber-security strength is the result of what he calls the country's "successful triple helix ecosystem" which is based on bringing business, academia and government together to collaborate on focused objectives.
In Ireland, establishing a world-class cyber-security cluster was one such objective.
It led to the formation of Cyber Ireland, an overarching body that brings together industry, academia and government to represent the needs of the cybersecurity ecosystem in Ireland, funded by Enterprise Ireland and industry.
Ireland's education system helps too, providing second and third level training in computer science and cybersecurity. As well as dedicated cybersecurity degrees at graduate and postgraduate level, the subject is also embedded as a module in a wide range of other programmes.
Science Foundation Ireland, Ireland's national foundation for investment in scientific and engineering research, funds cybersecurity research.
All this activity helped bring the top five security software companies in the world to Ireland, attracted by its status as an innovation hotspot with globally renowned deeptech clusters in fields such as machine learning, IoT and cloud technology.
"These areas complement a forward-looking cyber-security industry that is pioneering the use of AI to defend against the latest threats," says O'Grady.
"R&D centres in Irish universities, and national research centres, are fuelling this innovation in areas such as data, machine-to-machine security, and cybercrime."
Today more than 6,000 people work in Ireland's cyber-security industry, a strong talent pool with a highly-skilled, multi-lingual workforce. The country is home to more than 40 multinational companies with cyber-security operations, and more than 60 indigenous cyber-security companies and startups. Exports in the sector grew 25% in 2019, an upward trend that is set to continue.
Trusted talent, trusted technologies
Ireland is also a deeply trusted country, with an international reputation for military neutrality and a respected track record in promoting international peace and cooperation, says O'Grady. That helped establish it as a leading destination for data hosting facilities in Europe.
"The most demanding global customers entrust Irish consulting, managed services and technology companies with their cyber-security," he points out.
Right now, the world needs trusted solutions from trusted providers.
The Covid-driven rush to remote working means organisations are more vulnerable to cyber threats than ever before, a fact that has pushed cyber-security, for once and for all, out of IT departments and into boardrooms.
Organisations are now in a race against time to ensure devices are safe, that home WiFi connections are secure, and that employees are equipped to combat the risk of phishing and cyber-attacks.
"Cyber-criminals and hackers aren't taking a break to let us all adjust, so more businesses are more vulnerable than ever," warns O'Grady.
Reducing the threat of threats
They are turning to award-winning Irish companies such as Edgescan which provides vulnerability management and penetration testing globally. Its web application, network and cloud security solutions help cybersecurity teams reduce risk and cost for Enterprise and SME clients.
Demand is also growing at Siren Solutions developer of an investigative intelligence platform that sits on top of existing big data infrastructure.
Avoiding pandemic pandemonium
The pandemic forced companies to introduce remote work at speed. "From start-ups to SMEs and multinational corporations, companies across the board are facing an operational crunch," says Egger.
While some made the transition with ease, others are struggling to cope with a lack of funds, clients, and possibly a reduced workforce too.
That's a problem because research has already shown a high correlation between remote working and vulnerability to attacks.
According to Egger "the measures taken to ensure business continuity are often not assessed well enough against the associated cybersecurity risks, which is a problem because research has already shown a high correlation between remote working and vulnerability to attacks.''
In one survey, taken since the start of the pandemic, 20% of respondents said they faced a security breach as a result of a remote worker.
An Irish firm that expertly addresses the issue of remote working is enterprise mobility expert CWSI, which helps organisations cope with the risk from 'bring your own device' work practices, ensuring businesses stay secure in a mobile-first world. It has clients across 38 countries. Another remote security specialist is Enterprise Ireland client company TitanHQ, which provides web and email filtering, as well as secure email archiving. It protects over 7,500 businesses from malware, ransomware, phishing, viruses, botnets and other cyber threats.
Coping with compliance
Compliance with new and various cyber-security regulations is a major challenge too, and one which must be faced at a time when many organisations are trying to weather the storm, drive revenue growth and keep costs down, points out Egger.
The regulatory burden can feel like a series of moving targets that are increasingly hard to hit but increasingly expensive to miss.
Here too Enterprise Ireland client companies have solutions to help.
Guardyoo delivers automated cyber-security audit services. Within a week it can determine if a company's network has been compromised without its knowledge and establish if it is at risk from poor cyber practices or non-compliance.
Of course, the greatest cybersecurity risk to any company comes not from technology but from humans. As well as helping organisations to meet their compliance requirements, it helps them measure and improve employee cybersecurity behaviours and attitudes. It recently launched what it believes is the world's most comprehensive security behaviour database, a brand-new tool for security professionals.

Atlas Copco Power Technique has bolstered its generator lineup with an update to the QAS 150 and the addition of the QAS 200. Both are now available.
"The new models are fully in line with the spec and performance of the QAS range of generators, designed and built to fully meet the requirements of the most demanding mobile applications in the harshest conditions," says Angel Nieto, product manager for generators and light towers at Atlas Copco. "Features like the standard voltage switch, which allows you to switch to a new voltage within seconds, are highly appreciated by our rental customers."
In a release, the company says these generators and the rest of the QAS lineup feature fuel efficiency, a corrosion-resistant canopy, simple service, portability and paralleling capabilities.
The company says these latest QAS generators are ideal for a range of applications, including mining and construction. Both feature a John Deere 6068 Tier-4 Final diesel engine. The QAS 150 offers a power rating of 150 kVA/120 kW of prime power, while the QAS 200 delivers 200 kVA/160 kW. The two models are also dual frequency capable.
An AREP alternator excitation system facilitates motor starting. The company says operators can get stable power in under six seconds, even in the toughest applications and weather.
Both generators are equipped with a 335-gallon fuel tank. The large, fuel-efficient tank allows the QAS 150 to run for 37 hours at 100 percent load and 44 hours at 75 percent load. The QAS 200 runs for 28 hours at 100 percent load or 37 hours at 75 percent load.
Atlas Copco Power Technique's QAS generators feature heavy-duty weatherproofing, including an integrated door-sealing system for water-tightness and improved sound attenuation, as well as a corrosion-resistant canopy.
Available in either a skid mount or trailer mounted configuration, the company says the QAS 150 and QAS 200 are designed for safe and easy movement.

The Los Angeles Kings selected a local New Jersey kid this week, as they took Alex Laferriere in the third round, 83rd overall, of the 2020 NHL Draft.
Laferriere, a forward from Chatham, NJ, proved to be one of the top young talents in the United States Hockey League (USHL), the premier junior ice hockey association sanctioned by USA Hockey, last season.
The 6-0, 180-pounder registered a team-high 45 points on 19 goals and 26 assists with the Des Moines Buccaneers last year.
Laferriere, 18, played two years with the Chatham Cougars Boy's Hockey Team, posting 11 goals and 13 helpers as a sophomore and guided the Cougars to the Public C state championship game in the 2017-18 campaign.
Laferriere plans on returning to the Buccaneers this season. He said he is heading to Des Moines on Saturday, per Des Moines Register.

I don't understand why Kendrick Meek is being dragged into this?
rom the Republican National Senatorial Committee: As the Obama White House continues to withhold the details of their attempt to push U.S. Representative Joe Sestak (D-PA) from the Pennsylvania Democrat Senate primary, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) called on U.S. Representative Kendrick Meek (D-FL) to tell voters exactly where he stands on the Obama Administration's politicization of taxpayer-funded jobs and their refusal to tell Americans the whole truth about the Sestak scandal.
As the Daily Caller's Jon Ward reported this week:
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs indicated Tuesday that Rep. Joe Sestak was not offered a spot on the President's Intelligence Advisory Board but refused to say what was dangled in front of the Democrat in an attempt to remove him from a Senate primary…
Gibbs refused to clarify what Sestak, who won the May 18 primary and is now the Democratic nominee for Senate, was offered. Sestak indicated Friday he was offered a spot on the PIAB by former President Bill Clinton, who was acting on behalf of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel… However, Sestak would have been ineligible for such a post.
Yesterday voters learned about a similar scenario in Colorado, where Democrat Senate hopeful and former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff (D-CO) finally came clean and disclosed the details surrounding the job offers that he received from Obama's Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina in exchange for forgoing a brutal Democrat Senate primary against incumbent U.S. Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO).
"Will Kendrick Meek stand up to the Obama Administration and call on White House officials to provide details about this potentially illegal job offer scandal, or will he sit by silently and condone Washington politics-as-usual?" asked National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokeswoman Amber Marchand. "Kendrick Meek likes to talk about accountability for the cameras, but will he actually step up and denounce the Obama Administration's decision to play politics with taxpayer-funded jobs?"
