Impressive Acting Drives Up An Otherwise Average A Perfect Man!
The Good: Amazing acting, Decent emotional conflict for the characters, Good character development
The Bad: Formulaic plot, Overbearing soundtrack.
The Basics: A Perfect Man explores the destruction of a relationship, the loneliness the unfaithful man feels afterward and the cautious hope embodied by the woman determined to put her life back together again!
It's turning into a Liev Schreiber day for me. Schreiber was the star in the science fiction film I watched this morning, The Last Days On Mars and tonight, he was second-billed behind Jeanne Tripplehorn in the limited-release A Perfect Man. It is hard not to give credit immediately to director Kees Van Oostrum; Van Oostrum manages to present Schreiber as initially cold and menacing, but quickly brings him from aloof into dead sexy. The transition happens so fast that it almost seems like Schreiber's character, James, is suffering from a split personality disorder. Van Oostrum keeps the performance tight, though, so Schreiber never strays over the line into making the viewer doubt the character's mental health (though we quickly come to doubt his moral intergrity).
Starting with the complicated performance Liev Schreiber is important; it makes the character of Nina, played by Jeanne Tripplehorn, make much more sense right off the bat. Tripplehorn is good, but it is easy to brush her character's enlightened views about relationships off until one sees Schreiber's nuanced performance. Schreiber silently portrays the idea that even a man who has fidelity issues can still have a genuine – or convincing – love for his wife and when Nina sees that in him, her character becomes much more layered and real.
After picking Nina up in a bar, James seduces her. They are married shortly thereafter. Over nine years later, Nina and her friend/client Lynne follow Nina's running buddy, Martha into the nearby city. Nina is suspicious because Martha hates the city and there she witnesses Martha having an affair with James. Revealing to Lynne that this is not the first affair that James has had, Nina does not call James out on his infidelity. James, for his part, seems interested in continuing the marriage . . . right up until the moment, at their anniversary party, when Nina calls him out on his affairs and announces that the pair is splitting up.
Despite James desperately trying to cling to Nina – though ruining her luggage does not make him feel better – Nina leaves and moves in with Lynn. While Lynn brings Nina out for a night on the town, James is approached by Laura, the college aged daughter of a woman he once had an affair with. As James walks home through Amsterdam at night, he finds himself contemplating his life and decisions. Despite the many temptations thrown his way, James resists having a separation affair on Nina. Nina, in recovering her laptop from the apartment, sees another side of James (the one she fell in love with) and she concocts a plan to get James interested in her again. She calls him up, pretending to call the dog, and gets James talking to her. James opens up to Janika, not knowing that it is Nina and they develop an over-the-phone relationship.
A Perfect Man starts out much like The Story Of Us (reviewed here!), without all of the yelling. The film transitions well, motivated by the characters, into a story of people actually developing a relationship with one another again. James is realistically shattered by Nina leaving; as if he had never actually considered the magnitude of his indiscretion and the probability that Nina would actually leave.
The somewhat contrived plot device of Nina re-seducing James over the phone is presented in an engaging fashion. It is interspersed well with scenes that have James's mother visiting and giving insight into James's character faults. A Perfect Man manages to be moody without losing its entertainment value and while the plot follows somewhat formulaically, it actually seems organically moved by the characters. James is presented as truly lost enough to talk on the phone to a stranger that calls and A Perfect Man is realistic in its portrayal of a man lost.
Unlike most romantic dramas or romantic comedies (and, despite the overuse of the soundtrack, A Perfect Man definitely falls on the dramatic side), Nina's utterly contrived attempt to determine how James actually feels never comes across as ridiculous. In fact, even the moment when Nina (as Janika) picks up the phone the first time James calls back, Nina does not seem either goofy or desperate, which would have been a death knell for the film.
The strength of Nina comes down to the performance by Jeanne Tripplehorn. Tripplehorn is subtle and loving, strong without being a parody of feminism, and hopeful but cautious alternatively as Nina and she sells every emotion she is asked to portray. In fact, her performance is so good, it is shocking she does not get more first-billed roles! The magic of Jeanne Tripplehorn in A Perfect Man is that she can convincingly play a wide range of emotions with minimal facial movements and vocal inflections, while still making Nina seem like a viable, realistic character.
Together, Tripplehorn and Schreiber do on-screen what very few on-screen couples are ever able to pull off. They make their characters seem like they once had viable chemistry, lost it, and they make the process of finding love for one another again interesting to watch.
While A Perfect Man might not be the most original story told on film this year, it is bound to be one of the most underrated; the film has powerhouse acting and characters who are far more complex than most films allow.

An intimate account of a soldier's experience in World War I, A VERY MUDDY PLACE takes us on a journey from a young man's rural American hometown onto one of the great battlefields of France.

Nicknamed "The Bambino" and "The Sultan of Swat", he began his MLB career as a stellar left-handed pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, but achieved his greatest fame as a slugging outfielder for the New York Yankees. Ruth established many MLB batting records, including career home runs (714), runs batted in (RBIs) (2,213), bases on balls (2,062), slugging percentage (.690), and on-base plus slugging (OPS) (1.164); the latter two still stand as of 2018.

BC Conservative leader John Cummins is optimistic about his party's chances in the next provincial election.
Jan. 30, 2012 5:00 a.m.
John Cummins is optimistic about the prospects for his party in the next provincial election.
When asked for his prediction about the next provincial election in B.C., John Cummins doesn't hesitate.
Between now and then though, said the leader of the upstart party, there remains a whole lot of work to do.
Some of that work was on tap in Parksville Saturday, where members of the Central Island constituency associations gathered in the conference room at the Travelodge to map their path forward.
Much of the credit for that progress, he said, can be laid at the feet of the governing Liberals and their handling of the HST issue.
Cummins said the construction industry has put many projects on hold until they get certainty on the HST issue, as they don't want to build something prior to the reversal of the HST decision when it could be done for less at a later date.
Although Cummins sat as an MP in Stephen Harper's Conservative government in Ottawa, he stressed his party is not "Harper-lite," but rather an independent entity that shares some of the same values as their federal counterparts.
That said, Cummins said he supports the federal party's Omnibus Crime Bill, currently making its way through the House of Commons. Although some provincial leaders have expressed concern about having to pay the cost of building, staffing and running new prisons to accommodate the expected increase in inmates across the country, Cummins said he's willing to pay the tab.
The economy is also a priority for Cummins, who stressed that while many British Columbians believe they have it good, things could be much better under a Conservative government.
Cummins said the claim by the BC Liberals that the province has low taxes rings hollow, when he said the taxes paid by the average family here are higher than in any province west of Quebec.
The real difference between his Conservatives and the governing Liberals, he said, is clear.

What Cigar Making Has Brought to Nicaragua
As we recently told you in our last blog, our story started in 1968 when two Cuban visionaries ignited the Nicaraguan cigar industry and transformed our country.
During our turbulent and yet rewarding journey, we have shed light on the collective evolution of our people. Through the lens of one singular product, we have transformed the lives of thousands of Nicaraguans, especially those closest to us in the beautiful city of Estelí.
Cigar making in Estelí
Estelí has the highest employment rate of any city in Nicaragua outside of the capital, Managua. Around 150 companies of varying sizes undertake work related to the cigar-making industry in the city. Most of them are relatively small businesses with less than 50 employees. Only four have more than 700, and the rest are medium-sized operations. These form the bedrock of the industry.
"Tobacco and cigars are the number one economic activity for Estelí," says Juan Martínez. "The city has basically grown up around cigars production."
The heart of our company lies behind the doors of our Estelí factory, you would say our main interest is cigar making, but what really matters to us is outside the factory walls. Our factory is the only 100% Nicaraguan, from our product to our owners, therefore looking after our people is crucial to our business. But we feel our responsibility runs to more than that.
Looking out for our people
Since 2014 we provide Primary School Scholarships to around 90 Estelí youngsters through Fe y Alegría charity. This Christian organization – which translates as Faith and Happiness – runs an Estelí school for some of the area' s poorest families. Sadly, most families can't afford to send all their kids to school, so it's truly an honor for us to be able to participate in this program and provide young people with the tools they need to continue with their education.
Youngsters like José Hernández, whose father is a cattle rancher. Each day, Jose gets up and works in the fields with his father until around noon when he walks the mile or so to school, where he'll study until 5.30 pm. His family can't afford to pay someone to work on the farm and they need Jose's help. In days gone by, he would have given up school to concentrate on providing for his family. But now, he is able to do both. It means his future holds a promise of a life beyond a hand to mouth existence.
"Education is the first pillar to achieve a fairer society, working to better the life of a human being. We have to manage and create alliances to solve our expenses. In this alliance with Joya de Nicaragua, the company collaborates directly to provide an education for boys and girls – for them not to give up on education and prepare them for a better future." – Sor Purificacíon Gutiérrez, headmaster of Belén School, a beneficiary of Fé y Alegría
As well as a close collaboration with Fé y Alegría, we support other local causes; financial aid for children with special needs; funding towards emergency housing for the poorest in the community and a variety of benefits for our workers. These range from 'new mom' packages for female workers having children, to potential university scholarships for their offspring or grandchildren. There is subsidized eye care, savings, and loans co-operative, lifelong training and a scheme for eligible retirees which supplies a monthly essential grocery parcel for life.
Helping our community is not only our duty, but it's also our honor. It's something that as Nicaraguans, we take very seriously. As a nation, we know what it is like to suffer, to be deprived, to learn to count from books picturing hand grenades and Kalashnikovs instead of apples and oranges. It is our responsibility to get this right for future generations. Because simply put, our children deserve better.
Who are the founders of Joya de Nicaragua?
History of tobacco in Nicaragua: five things you didn't know


We value the ancient roots of our faith. Soon after the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the church began to develop a clearly articulated expression of what Christians believe. Various creeds and confessions emerged. The church struggled as a community to achieve a communal expression of the faith. This ultimately (but not exclusively) culminated in the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed. We stand together with Christians everywhere across the centuries that have embraced these basic statements of faith. These creeds form the core expression of our faith. At [nlcf], these creeds are foundational for how we understand and express the truth of God's story today.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Unlike the first two days of the MIT Invitational, Day 3 was short and sweet for the Wesleyan University women's tennis team. Eudice Chong '18 and Victoria Yu '19 were the only Cardinals in action, and the pair held true to their No. 1 seed, successfully completing their run to the doubles championship at the event by defeating Vickie Ip and Kelsey Chen of Amherst, 8-1.
"It was a great way to start the season," Chong said. "We were aggressive and did very well to take time away from our opponents and finish at the net."
The defending NCAA champions lost only six games through the entire tournament, with no match closer than 8-3. Perhaps most impressive was that Chong and Yu lost only one game in the semifinal and final round combined.
The performance also gives the pair some momentum heading into the ITA Regional Championships at Williams College, which begin September 29th.
"It was a good experience to work on some things and work out the kinks before ITAs," Yu remarked.
Chong, Yu, and the rest of the Cardinals are off from competition until ITA's, where they will compete for the singles and doubles titles, which come with an invitation to the ITA Oracle Cup – the de-facto fall national championship tournament held in Rome, Georgia in October.

The data of 500 million customers of the Marriott hotel giant were hacked last September. And for the United States. it is hackers in the service of the Chinese government who are responsible.
The United States and China, "it's complicated"
While reacting to articles implicating China in this case, the Secretary of State Mike Pompeo reacted Wednesday the Fox channel. "Our relationship with China is complicated," he said, claiming that some of his hackers "are spying and influencing here in the United States."
The hotel giant's database, whose piracy was made public at the end of November, contained the names, possibly the contact details, and sometimes also the credit card and passport numbers of half a billion customers.
Charges of Chinese hackers planned
Mike Pompeo also said that Donald Trump's government was working to "ward off these Chinese threats to America." According to the New York Times , Washington plans to soon indict Chinese hackers working for the intelligence services or the army of their country, and to impose restrictions on the importation of technological equipment.
In addition, security firm McAfee said Wednesday have detected attempts to intrude into 87 companies related to the nuclear, military, energy or financial sectors, around the world, but particularly in the United States.

Playing a lot of sports while growing up in the Midwest was an unforgettable experience. I learned some hard life lessons as a youngster, and now those growing-up moments are still so valuable to me–to the extent of shaping my present, adult decision-making. Behind every challenge overcome and opportunity that didn't turn out as I had expected was a coach doing the hard work to drive many people toward one common goal, despite a plethora of variables and unforeseen obstacles to success.
Coaching positions are popping up everywhere in education these days. And how you define the role seems to be as dependent upon a particular school or district as it is on the coach's resume itself.
There are instructional coaches, digital learning coaches, leadership coaches, reading coaches, curriculum coaches, and even innovation coaches. They're everywhere!
And these coaching positions can take on many different appearances–especially in the education world. Some coaches can tell you how to become a better batter, without ever having stepped up to the plate themselves. (Yet some of these people actually can hit it out of the park themselves).
Some coaches can tell you how to field hard grounders that take unexpected hops, choppy bouncers that leave bruises, screaming line drives that sting, and even seemingly easy pop flies that still require concentration and perseverance, and yet they themselves don't even own a glove.
Still, other coaches can call all the balls and strikes, and even tell you when there are three outs and it's time for a change–all from a sharp angle or sight unseen.
Even with all the latest technology tools and innovation strategies, being the educator who actually does the work directly with the learners is a whole different ballgame than simply coaching others on how to make teaching and learning better.
Still, coaches with potentially no transferable skills or related experience themselves can succeed and be a most valuable player–that is, if they have the right mindset, work hard, and surround themselves with the right people.
First of all, I believe the overall WHY for any position in education is to make teaching and learning better for the students. That vision is key, because all learners need to embrace the mission for it to succeed appropriately. I wonder, sometimes, if it's good to have pictures of students at the beginning of every meeting, or to tell a story about a student as to realign our WHY, before charting change.
In addition, I love how adding support and intricacies to our ecosystem in education is intentional. No doubt, coaching–a strong span in the scaffolding to make education effective–often gets overlooked and under-appreciated.
The number one obstacle to an effective coaching endeavor is the perspective of the one being coached. To many, it's a matter of credibility. For example, will a veteran classroom teacher readily embrace constructive criticism from a coach who has minimal to no substantial classroom teaching experience? With so much on a principal's plate, will the principal take seriously negative comments or redirection from a central office staff member who has never been a principal? Will the parent of three–hearing how her youngest child is performing below grade level due to off-task behavior–from a teacher who is not a parent, not take every syllable with a huge grain of salt?
I have personally experienced the teacher example from the perspective of the one being coached, and the parent example from the perspective of a the teacher with no kids (at that time). I'm fascinated by the administrator example as I'm currently pursuing my Masters in School Administration.
Just like a classroom teacher, parent, and administrator, I believe the coaching position can ultimately play a huge part in making teaching and learning better for kids.
I'm not saying that one can't be a great teacher without being a parent first. I'm not saying that all coaches must first be classroom teachers, or even that administrators mustn't skip seemingly linear rungs in the promotional ladder.
However, I also believe that all of these positions require much more than a degree or an add-on certification to be genuinely successful.
As always, I'm looking forward to your next one.
Bloggers Note: I added this microcast reflection on October 12, 2018, over two months after my original blog post.
Being an instructional leader doesn't always mean you are providing expertise in teaching and learning. Sometimes… it just means you are helping to shape the conditions in which your teachers can thrive. Sometimes, it's just about building the right culture.
If you ask a teacher what they want from their admin, they're probably not gonna say "instructional leadership." Most will simply say: "SUPPORT!" It's important to note, though… that when they do feel supported, they are much more receptive to the instructional leadership.
There is not one magical instructional strategy… but there is magic in connecting with kids.
I have often pondered the role of a coach as well, and you've given me even more to think on! I love how you acknowledged the struggle it can be to take feedback from someone ON your career who hasn't necessarily DONE your career, yet how that factor doesn't necessarily HAV to take value away from coaching. That recipe for success stems from just what you're saying- the mindsets of the coach and the one being coached.
And because it's relevant to this post, shout-out to Dan Gridley, Washington's Literacy Coach…Dan does have a background in special education, so he does bring transferable skills and related experience to the table. But he never claims to be the expert, and has the mindset of wanting to totally support the teams he works with (in every way, not just in providing teaching expertise). He helps facilitate team goal-setting, checks in with us daily (sometimes just seeing how the day is going or how he can help us that week), presents us with valuable, relevant data to dig into, celebrates our successes, and helps us take part in valuable reflection. Dan is ever-present as a coach, and has helped transform my view of what a coach can be. Having the right mindset and attitude are critical to being an effective coach, and really, critical to anyone's success at anything! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Kyle!
The number one obstacle to an effective coaching endeavor is the perspective of the one being coached.
So I'm going to push against this statement, Kyle: I think the number one obstacle to an effective coaching endeavor is the perspective of the COACH.
The best coaches act as Nathalie describes Dan in her comment above. They recognize the expertise of the people that they are coaching and they make it their goal to surface that expertise — particularly when they are working with experienced staff members.
They serve as a sounding board and a mirror and a source of the kinds of questions that promote growth.
What's sad to me is that many people who end up in coaching roles are hired for their expertise in their specialty role — digital literacy, literacy, mathematics etc — NOT for their expertise in working with adults or in serving as a sounding board or for their ability to use questions to promote growth.
The result is often people with an inflated view of their own expertise. Instead of seeing it as their job to surface the expertise inside of others, they see it as their job to push their ideas and provide their solutions — and THAT's what makes them ineffective.
A part of this is also a function of the fact that education really DOES still have a glass ceiling. So when a teacher gets a coaching role, oftentimes they see themselves as "above" the people that they are supposed to support.
We don't do that frequently enough.
Thanks for your feedback, Bill.
Your comments on the glass ceiling are spot on. It really has me thinking: I can't actually recall a time when a coach was NOT viewed as superior to the one being coached, even regardless of pay. Perhaps this is the nature of "school" as we know it, that's been created over a long period of time, whereas roles have implied definitions and perceptions thereof.
In addition, I'm wondering if the gap between the coaching role perception versus the vision of coaches being a mirror and a sounding board has more to do with challenges in giving/receiving feedback? Simply put: receiving feedback can be hard if the one giving feedback hasn't equally invested in or experienced the topic of feedback. It would definitely require strategies from this Leadership Freak post you shared a while ago: https://goo.gl/61Cmne.
At the heart of the matter is credibility. Credibility means a lot to a lot of people. Maybe the most common example in education: The veteran classroom teacher has a hard time receiving feedback from a coach who has minimal classroom teaching experience. This can apply to a lot of positions. In my experiences and observations, this can result in the veteran teacher discounting large amounts of advice or feedback (even if it's good stuff) before the coach even walks in the door.
Another example: I've heard classroom teachers, in general, discount the opinions and actions of policy makers and education employees as high as the federal level mostly because several of them have never been classroom teachers. It can be hard to abide by policies and implement strategies for classrooms if those policies and strategies were created by some who haven't been in a classroom in a super long time–if at all–even if those policies and strategies are well-intended.
And all of that–even before the coach has the opportunity to ask questions, give feedback, be a sounding board, and mirror successful teaching and learning together, to ultimately make learning better for kids.
I marvel at the collegiate and professional coaches who have successful teams in the sport arena, albeit without having played that sport or at that level themselves–but those stories are rare, and even more so in education, right?
If the coach is not recognized as one who has invested at least equally to the one being coached, reciprocal learning can be a challenge for some. Perhaps we can shift the focus from quantity to quality by simply changing the name of the position to represent more of a two-way street of learning together and ultimately to make the student learning experience better? What would that look like? What would that name be? How can we redefine to clarify a journey of moving forward–together?
Would like to continue this conversation.
Hey, Bill. I'm still reflecting on this conversation. The more I think about it, the more I think that we're both right. I think coaches are credible and effective when they have both the experience/expertise AND the people skills, using situational awareness to foster learning thru questioning strategies and appropriate feedback. Still, I believe that coaching can't be effective unless the one being coached realizes and experiences a combination of the two.

History Brooklyn Boro
January 13: ON THIS DAY in 1953, Moscow acts to purge Jews
January 13, 2021 Brooklyn Eagle History
ON THIS DAY IN 1916, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, "The Fourth Avenue Subway Extension to Eighty-sixth street will be opened to the public Saturday afternoon. This was announced last night at the meeting of the Subway Celebration Committee, 7825 Fifth avenue. The first official trip over the line will consume ten minutes, the train leaving the Municipal Building, Manhattan, at 2 o'clock and arriving at the Eighty-sixth street station ten minutes after. The regular schedule time will be 18 minutes for this distance, the trains running on a five-minute headway. This is promised. Peter Donnelly, chairman of the dinner committee, reported that arrangements have been made to accommodate about 250 persons at the dinner, which will be held at the Ridge Club. William B. Hatfield proposed to the members present that motion pictures of the celebration should be taken. He said that this would be the greatest of advertisements for Bay Ridge."
ON THIS DAY IN 1939, the Eagle reported, "Col. Jacob Ruppert, who made his father's brewery the largest in the world and with the profits bought himself the world's champion baseball team and New York City real estate second in value only to the fabulous Astor holdings, died today at the age of 71. His last words, said weakly at 7 p.m. yesterday when he was removed from his oxygen tent for an hour, were, 'I want to see Ruth.' But Babe Ruth, who won world fame as a player under Ruppert's aegis, was already there. He had called a half hour earlier. His words were, 'I want to see the Colonel.' The two, owner and player, looked at each other for a moment, smiled and clasped hands. 'Hello, Babe,' said Ruppert. Then the nurses put the colonel back in the tent … He resented his illness, not because of fear, but because doctors forbade him to leave his bed to watch his Yankees defeat the Chicago Cubs in the last World Series, to win the championship for the third [straight] time."
ON THIS DAY IN 1953, the Eagle reported, "LONDON (U.P.) — Russia today took its first step toward what may become an Iron Curtain purge of Jews rivaling that of the German Nazis. Six of nine leading Russian physicians arrested on charges of murdering two Soviet leaders and plotting to murder five high military officers are Jews. The Jewish doctors, the Communists asserted, were recruited by the 'espionage Zionist organization' — the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee — and were paid by the American Intelligence Service. The other three doctors were alleged to be agents of the British Intelligence Service. It was indicated strongly that the defendants were members of the staff of the Kremlin's own hospital where top-level leaders, including Stalin, are treated. The physicians apparently were members of the Kremlin's 'sanitary and health service.' It was noted that Stalin made a public appearance last night when he attended a concert at the Bolshoi Theater. Diplomatic sources expressed belief that his attendance might have been planned to forestall any rumors that his life was involved in the alleged plot. Moscow said the physicians had confessed after 'interrogation.' It was believed they would be made the victims of a big Moscow show trial."
ON THIS DAY IN 1955, the Eagle reported, "The U.S. Patent Office today has officially recognized Chas. Pfizer & Co., Inc., of Brooklyn, as discoverer of tetracycline, newest of the broad spectrum of antibiotics, ending a five-firm dispute over rights to its production. It issued a patent including 18 claims covering manufacture, use and sale of the wonder drug and its derivatives, as well as processes for their manufacture and for antibiotic compositions containing these materials. The award settles a year-old controversy during which two suits had been pressed before the Patent Office. In one last February, Lederle Laboratories conceded priority to Pfizer and received a license to produce the drug as part of the settlement. Following announcement from Washington, Pfizer said it was starting legal proceedings in Federal District Court, Atlanta, against Bristol Laboratories, E.R. Squibb & Co., and Upjohn Co., charging patent infringement and seeking treble damages and an injunction prohibiting their unlicensed manufacture of the drug. Pfizer markets its product under the trade name Tetracyn."

Southern New England Landcare celebrates 25 years, and this Friday 25th July School of Ants in conjunction with the New England North West Regional Science Hub will help out making insect hotels at Black Gully revegetation site.
Behind the New England Regional Art Museum, we'll stack wooden palettes six high and stuff, place, drill and pile natural materials to encourage colonisation by a range of insects, spiders and other critter at the site. Approximately 75 school students from Armidale will participate in the activities, which also include biodiversity walks, filling in planting sites, and tours of the nearby community gardens.
School of Ants will have on hand insect ecologists, undergraduate zoology students and postgrads to guide school students, and regale stories of lost worlds at their feet!
We're looking forward to it! If you're in the area, check out our insect hotels over the coming months.
National Science Week might just be the perfect time – we're also helping with a science meets art event at NERAM!


No white after Labor Day. Don't mix your metals. Our Style Editor explores then debunks fashion's most out-of-date fashion faux pas.
We're not sure when this fashion rule originated, but we know when it ended. Justin Timberlake and Brittney Spears displayed their dynamic duo relationship status when they doubled down on their denim ensembles at the 2001 American Music Awards. And, like the hearts of teenage girls everywhere upon seeing Justin and Britney together, this fashion statute was shattered into a million pieces.
This rule stems from a concern that stacking rings of different metals can cause a softer metal to wear down faster. Fact of the matter is that anything will wear down anything over time. And, most metals are so strong, it would take an eternity to notice it. So, dive into the mixed metal trend by layering gold with silver, pairing different metal rings, and mixing up metal bracelets to make an on-trend statement.

This year's global AdReaction study tackled the topic of integrating marketing campaigns in a fragmented market.
One conclusion that struck me as being particularly useful was a finding, from our CrossMedia database, that integrated and customised campaigns are 57% more effective than non-integrated campaigns. This is pertinent because less than half of the campaigns we measure with CrossMedia are both integrated and customised.
When it comes to integration, the use of multiple cues such as celebrities, colours and other distinctive brand assets can help. The executional challenge is to have enough familiarity to instantly link into the campaign, but also enough novelty to create engagement independently.
Online video ads need to engage the viewer immediately, to give them a reason to continue to watch.
Online video ads need to be branded early, so there is some benefit even among those who do skip.
Video ads need to be short (unless they are exceptionally engaging).
Also, video ads are often viewed while the sound is muted, customisation may be essential for your ad to work – which may simply require using subtitles.
Additionally, video ads can be customised to take advantage of the features of each digital platform. This may be done by exploiting the 'portrait' shape of Facebook ads; contextualising the placement of the ad (perhaps by timing its appearance to fit well with what the user was doing); or by showing provocative edits in the more personal environment of click-to-play or mobile.
As always, there are no hard rules for ads; it takes a leap of creativity to see how an ad can be customised to a specific platform; but it's worth spending time thinking about and assessing how creative can be customised.

History | No Category
New Zealands military contribution to the First World War was a massive effort for a small country. The figure most often quoted is that from October 1914 through to October 1918, just over 100,000 New Zealanders embarked for military service overseas. But that number does not include the thousands who served under other imperial flags: with the Australian Imperial Force, British army units, the Indian army, the Canadian Expeditionary Force, the American Expeditionary Force, the South African Overseas Expeditionary Force, the French Foreign Legion, and even the Ceylon Planters Rifle Corps. Nor does it include the women who served with other nations medical organisations or by entertaining troops. This meticulously researched book details a range of New Zealanders who fought for the British Empire under other flags. They have not previously been included in First World War statistics, and there may be as many as 12,000 of them, 1400 of whom died. From heroes and ratbags to singers and medical pioneers, in For King and Other Countries Glyn Harper tells their stories.

Zombie by Joyce Carol Oates Artist Edition Hardcover (PREORDER)
With a new introduction by the author
Illustrations by Laurel Hausler
Written in the form of journal entries—collections of thoughts broken up by screaming capital letters and crude marker drawings—Zombie by Joyce Carol Oates is a brilliant, unflinching journey into the psychotic consciousness of a serial killer.
Zombie views the world through the eyes of Quentin P., newly paroled sex offender, as he chillingly evolves from rapist to mass murderer. With each page of his diary, Quentin details his obsession with creating a "zombie"—a lobotomized young man to serve as a sex slave—while interspersing recollections of his past nefarious deeds. Devastating in its impact, Zombie provides a psychologically astute portrait of the cold calculation and dark obsession that can make a serial killer horrifyingly successful and maddeningly elusive.
Upon its publication in 1995, Zombie was proclaimed the author's "boldest, most disturbing masterwork… demonstrating why Oates ranks among America's most respected and accomplished literary artists." Bestselling author and psychiatrist Peter D. Kramer wrote of the novel, "At the heart of Zombie are chastening paradoxes: Depicting the worst in human nature, Oates embodies our saving virtues, empathy, imagination and wonder. Zombie succeeds at a profound level, simultaneously horrifying the reader and demonstrating that nothing human is alien to us."
Zombie was awarded the 1995 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Novel.

Only one in five hip fracture patients were discharged home directly following surgery, according to the Irish Hip Fracture Database National Report 2017.
The report was launched by Dr Emer Ahern, Clinical Geriatric Lead for the Irish Hip Fracture Database.
The purpose of the report was to highlight the importance of the standardisation and optimisation of hip fracture care and continual measurement and monitoring of data to improve outcomes for patients.
In 2017, there were 3,608 patients aged 60 years or over hospitalised following a hip fracture.
The IHFD collected data on 95% (3,497) of cases from all sixteen acute hospitals. There is significant morbidity and mortality associated with this common injury and health care costs are high.
Ninety two per cent of patients were brought directly to the operating hospital, an increase of 5% from 2016.
Eleven per cent of patients were admitted to an orthopaedic ward within four hours.
Sixty nine per cent of patients received surgery within 48 hours of their admission to the Emergency Department.
Fourteen hospitals reduced the pressure ulcer incidence.
Seventy seven per cent of patients were mobilised on the day of or day after surgery.
Seventy three per cent of patients received a bone health assessment to prevent further fractures.
The median length of stay had increased to 13 days.
Just over one in five (22%) of patients were discharged directly home from hospital.
The average age of a person who broke their hip was 80.
Eighty two per cent of hip fracture patients were admitted from home.
Ten per cent were admitted from a nursing home or other long stay facility and eight per cent of patients were transferred from another acute hospital.
There was 95% data coverage for 2017, an increase of 9% since 2016.
This report included individual hospital comparison across six key care standards and highlights variation in hospital performance across all six standards.
Development of a Hip Fracture Governance Committee (HFGC) in each hospital supported by the guidance issued by the National Office of Clinical Audit (NOCA). The HFGC to have a clear focus on quality improvement to reduce variability in the standards of care.
NOCA in collaboration with the Healthcare Pricing Office (HPO) continue to enhance the functionality of the IHFD Portal to include additional data quality checks and reporting.


One might wake up one morning experiencing morning sickness. She believes it is a common problem while being pregnant. She goes to get the medication Thalidomide from the medicine cabinet, not thinking anything about it. But what the drug company did not tell you was if you are a pregnant woman and you take the medication Thalidomide, your baby may experience some severe problems.
The drug Thalidomide was produced during the 1950s through the 1960s. It was used for women who was experiencing morning sickness during their pregnancy (Mayo Clinic). Chemie Grunenthal, one of the head production companies of the drug, produced Thalidomide as a nontoxic medication. The company labeled Thalidomide with no poisonous potential at that time. Before shipping this drug the company had not proceeded to run through lab test to check the harmful chemical (The Multinational monitor). With every country wanting this drug they shipped crate fulls to the following: 11 European countries, 7 African countries, 17 Asian countries, and 17 countries in both North and South continents (The Multinational Monitor).

Report Questions Security As HHS Invites Consumers To Set Up Personal Accounts To Prepare For Exchange Enrollment Period
Report Highlights Concerns About Security Of Sensitive Personal Information Americans Will Share With HHS Exchange Portal AS HHS Invites Consumers To Set Up Personal Accounts
The reported finding that the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) has yet to complete the necessary security arrangements and testing for the web-portal Incomplete security arrangements and testing necessary to ensure the security of personal health and other information shared by consumers on the health insurance exchange Hub that Obamacare charged the HHS Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) with creating under Obama Care raises concerns about whether these security issues might undermine the security of the sensitive personal information that a consumer might share now or in the future when exploring or enrolling in health coverage options offered through the health insurance exchange.
On Monday, August 5, 2013, HHS sought to beef up interest and anticipation among Americans for the new health insurance exchange option by inviting consumers to prepare for the upcoming enrollment period scheduled to begin October 1, 2013 by creating their personal accounts on HHS' Healthcare.gov website now.
HHS began encouraging Americans to the HHS website "healthcare.gov" to open a personal account, the first step to buying coverage through one of the health insurance exchanges that HHS is creating under the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act reforms. See Consumers Can Take First Step To Enrolling In New Insurance Options Today. HHS is encouraging Americans to prepare for enrollment today by setting up their personal account on the HHS Website, Healthcare.gov. A HHS Twitter Tweet yesterday announced , "Today you can be 1 step closer to getting health ins. by creating your Marketplace account:." The Healthcare.gov website main page now invites Americans to "[a]nswer a few questions to get some personalized info here."
Unfortunately, HHS kicked off this campaign on the same day that the HHS's Office of Inspector General (OIG) released a report titled Observations Noted During The OIG Review Of CMS's Implementation Of The Health Insurance Exchange—Data Services Hub (Report) that raises questions about the adequacy of the current security of the data portal and whether HHS will complete the arrangements and testing to verify it appropriately safeguards the security of the sensitive personal information that consumers will share there when the enrollment period begins and thereafter.
Data shared by Americans as part of the process of exploring and enrolling in coverage through the health insurance exchanges will be collected and shared through a data security Hub that will host and transmit that data. The OIG Report raises clear concerns about the existing security arrangements that CMS has implemented to protect that data, as well as questions about whether CMS will complete the necessary arrangements to secure and protect that sensitive data before enrollment begins October 1.
The findings reported by OIG in the Report raise significant questions about whether Americans should accept the HHS invitation to establish their personal accounts now in anticipation of the October 1, 2013 beginning of the enrollment period for applying for coverage through the health insurance exchanges that would take effect on January 1, 2014.
The Report makes clear that OIG found reason for concern about the Hub security currently and whether these issues will be adequately addressed by the time the enrollment period begins on October 1, 2013.
OIG reports many critical tasks required to implement and test necessary security controls are unfinished. It states "[S]everal critical tasks remain to be completed in a short period of time, such as the final independent testing of the Hub's security controls, remediating security vulnerabilities identified during testing, and obtaining the security authorization decision for the Hub before opening the exchanges. CMS's current schedule is to complete all of its tasks by October 1, 2013, in time for the expected initial open enrollment period."
While acknowledging that CMS has affirmed its commitment to complete and implement the necessary security arrangements before enrollment begins on October 1, 2013, the OIG Report also notes that CMS already has missed several critical target dates in its efforts to implement the required security measures.
The Report additionally states: "CMS is working with very tight deadlines to ensure that security measures for the Hub are assessed, tested, and implemented by the expected initial open enrollment date of October 1, 2013. If there are additional delays in completing the security assessment and testing, the CMS CIO may have limited information on the security risks and controls when granting the security authorization of the Hub." (emphasis added).
The security concerns highlighted in the Report should raise questions about the adequacy of the security of information that an individual might enter on the Healthcare.gov portal in response to the invitation of HHS extended beginning yesterday.
The importance of the security concerns raised in the reports becomes evident when one considers that consumers establishing their personal accounts must "Choose your user name and password; Create security questions to add an extra layer of protecting your information." While many may be temped to discount the significance of the security concerns because the information that HHS currently asks individuals to share when they create their personal accounts appears relatively harmless, it merits noting that the creation of the login and security password that will be used to control access to the personal account of registrants are among those initial elements. To the extent security deficiencies compromise the security of this information, these security deficiencies could undermine the security of the personal accounts and all of the information they contain.
The Report does not make clear whether the security issues identified in the Report could compromise logon and password security of the personal accounts established by consumers now or in the future. However, it bears noting that securing the logon and passwords used to access electronic resources containing sensitive personal health care information and establishing other appropriate safeguards to protect the security of personal health information is one of the key responsibilities that the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security Rules require health plans, health care providers, health care clearinghouses and their business associates to protect and secure. Failure to implement and administer appropriate safeguards for logons and passwords could compromise all the sensitive data in the personal account now or in the future. Until questions about the security issues and their implications on the logon, password and other information associated with personal accounts are established, Americans concerned about the security of their personal information may want to hold off entering data in response to the HHS's invitation. Additionally, Americans concerned about these and other security issues also may want to share their feedback with HHS and members of Congress.

Sharing and promoting the use of practical practices, tools, information and ideas that patients and their families, health care providers, employers, health plans, communities and policymakers can share and offer to help patients, their families and others in their care communities to understand and work together to better help the patients, their family and their professional and private care community plan for and manage these needs is the purpose of Project COPE, The Coalition on Patient Empowerment & It's Affiliate, the Coalition on Responsible Health Policy.
The best opportunity to improve access to quality, affordable health care for all Americans is for every American, and every employer, insurer, and community organization to seize the opportunity to be good Samaritans. The government, health care providers, insurers and community organizations can help by providing education and resources to make understanding and dealing with the realities of illness, disability or aging easier for a patient and their family, the affected employers and others. At the end of the day, however, caring for people requires the human touch. Americans can best improve health care by not waiting for someone else to step up: Step up and help bridge the gap when you or your organization can. Speak up to help communicate and facilitate when you can. Building health care neighborhoods filled with good neighbors throughout the community is the key.
The outcome of this latest health care reform push is only a small part of a continuing process. Whether or not the Affordable Care Act makes financing care better or worse, the same challenges exist. The real meaning of the enacted reforms will be determined largely by the shaping and implementation of regulations and enforcement actions which generally are conducted outside the public eye. Americans individually and collectively clearly should monitor and continue to provide input through this critical time to help shape constructive rather than obstructive policy. Regardless of how the policy ultimately evolves, however, Americans, American businesses, and American communities still will need to roll up their sleeves and work to deal with the realities of dealing with ill, aging and disabled people and their families. While the reimbursement and coverage map will change and new government mandates will confine providers, payers and patients, the practical needs and challenges of patients and families will be the same and confusion about the new configuration will create new challenges as patients, providers and payers work through the changes.
We also encourage you and others to help develop real meaningful improvements by joining Project COPE: Coalition for Patient Empowerment here by sharing ideas, tools and other solutions and other resources. The Coalition For Responsible Health Care Policy provides a resource that concerned Americans can use to share, monitor and discuss the Health Care Reform law and other health care, insurance and related laws, regulations, policies and practices and options for promoting access to quality, affordable healthcare through the design, administration and enforcement of these regulations.

How to secure your IT infrastructure without complete and efficient monitoring?
The IT security is becoming a very important topic for the companies.
But why protecting a system that much if it is not well monitored?
The biggest issue for the IT monitoring is to take ALL the elements in charge. It cannot concern only the servers or the switches. The whole infrastructure has to be followed, including the firewalls, the Wi-Fi access points, routers, etc.
Let's look the COP21 as an example. The IT monitoring was crucial. It ensured a highest availability level for the most secured elements, contributing to the success of this global event.
More than 2.000 elements from all types were monitored in record time to guarantee to be alerted instantly to any incident. If all the elements had not been monitored, this extremely high level of availability would not have been reach. Thanks to this exhaustiveness, every delegation could enjoy a safe and reliable environment during the event.
Imagine what would have happened if the secure Wi-Fi connection of a delegation fall in the middle of the negotiations, without any means to quickly investigate the root cause of the breakdown?
The IT monitoring is really fundamental for every secure environment. Whatever the effort made to secure the connection, everything would have been reduce to nothing if the real question would not have been asked at the beginning of the project: how to efficiently monitor all those elements? The business expectations would not have been reached without this investment in monitoring. It's the heart of the process.
Secure the IT infrastructure has to be an unavoidable goal, secure efficiently by monitoring all the elements has to be an absolute priority.

Entrepreneur . Educator . Public Speaker
I'm best known for being the Founder and CEO of Pulp Riot, a professional hair color line that is sold in 33 countries. The company took off like a rocket ship and in May 2018, L'Oreal acquired Pulp Riot. I continued to serve as the CEO for 3 more years, until June 2021.
Being the CEO of a successful hair color company was an awesome gig, but I feel like I have more to accomplish in my life. I think of Pulp Riot as an album I wrote. I've been blessed to perform the Pulp Riot songs on stages across the world, and it's became my comfort zone. Deep inside, I know I have another album to create, and I'm looking forward to getting back into the recording studio. What will the album be? Right now, I don't know, and that's okay.
For at least the next year, I plan on collaborating with interesting people on cool projects, traveling the world, and slowing down to put myself in the pathway of inspiration. What's on the travel itinerary this year? Italy, South Africa, Mozambique, Argentina, Chile, Laos, Cambodia, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and wherever else life takes us.
I'm often invited to speak at events. My lectures typically aim to teach and inspire leaders on the subjects of branding, social media, disruption, entrepreneurship and the digital revolution.
