Analyzing and implementing a national zero trust architecture
This October, we once again find ourselves observing National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. While this effort traditionally targets consumers and businesses, the U.S. government has a unique interest in cyber awareness.
The theme of the first week implores individuals and organizations to #BeCyberSmart, by highlighting best security practices while focusing on general cyber hygiene to effectively protect personal and company data. This includes using multi-factor authentication, backing up data, and updating software.
These basic practices are just a small part of the larger zero trust (ZT) security model, which is based on the concept such of "never trust, always verify," multi-factor authentication, least privileged access, and micro-segmentation.
The zero trust security model has been around for over a decade, but did not reach widespread adoption until recently. But as today's perimeter-based cybersecurity solutions continue to fail and produce news reports about high-profile data breaches and ransomware attacks, zero trust security continues to gain traction.
Zero trust and the U.S. government
The recent release of the Office of Management and Budget's Federal Zero Trust Strategy, CISA's Zero Trust Maturity Model, and Cloud Security Technical Reference Architecture documents represent a major step toward improving the U.S. government's cyber defense capabilities. Triggered by Executive Order 14028, "Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity," the release of these draft reference models and guidance help government agencies accelerate their transition to a more secure, ZT-based approach to cybersecurity.
Getting the entire U.S. government to transition to a ZT security-based model represents a massive undertaking and requires careful planning, considerable resources, and multi-year, multi-phased, agency-specific implementation plans. For larger government agencies, such as the Department of Defense, that operate thousands of networks, tens of thousands of systems and applications and have hundreds of thousands of users and devices deployed worldwide, a comprehensive rollout of ZT throughout the enterprise could take 10 years or more. Nevertheless, significant security improvements in areas such as identity, data and network security could be achieved within just a few years.
Overcoming national zero trust concerns and obstacles
Two of the biggest challenges chief information officers within the affected government agencies will face with the administration's mandated ZT adoption and its accelerated timeline is budget and resources. OBM, CISA and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) only provided the frameworks and ZT architecture needed to get started. It is still up to the individual agencies to budget for their ZT implementation, re-architect their current IT environments to comply with NIST's ZT Architecture (ZTA) standard (NIST SP 800-207), identify the necessary internal and external talent, select relevant ZT technologies and vendors, re-accredit their systems, and retrain their workforce.
To help its government and commercial clients speed up their ZT adoption journey and to better manage the associated ZT migration risks, a platform-based approach to ZT will be necessary. Leveraging a NIST ZTA standard-compliant platform promotes interoperability, scalability, and extensibility. It also avoids vendor lock-in and allows organizations to start their ZT journey in areas in which they currently might have the highest exposure risks, such as networks, identities and access management.
Once the initial areas of concern have been addressed, other ZT focus areas, such as data, workloads and devices can be addressed. Developing a ZT strategy, conducting a ZT maturity and gap assessment, and creating a phased implementation plan are key to a successful ZT deployment.
The future of zero trust
Quantum supremacy refers to the point at which a quantum computer reliably does something that no conventional computer can do in a reasonable amount of time, e.g., break widely-used asymmetric encryption algorithms in record time. This poses a unique risk to global commerce, enterprises, consumers, and national security as it effectively renders many of our best data security and secure communication technologies useless.
The preparedness for the arrival of Quantum Day may rely on ZT strategies as nations work to prepare for the cyber risks that will inevitably accompany these computing advancements. While Q-Day isn't predicted to arrive for another five to 10 years, preparation requires immediate action.
The principle of ZT is simple: trust no one, even if they work for your company, as employees can maliciously or ignorantly leave organization data vulnerable and accessible for a breach. It will likely take organizations several years to truly achieve comprehensive, multi-level ZT security, so it's better to start now than wait until it's too late to remediate.
As individuals, organizations, and now federal agencies acknowledge Cybersecurity Awareness Month, implementing zero trust will certainly be a top priority not only this October, but every month and day following.

Our journey to Bethlehem begins today with a word from the prophets. Speaking to another people in another place and time, the prophet Isaiah speaks anew to those who follow Jesus. Just as the prophet gives voice to the hope of God to the Israelites of the past, he gives hope to us in a new era filled with new challenges and fears. Hear the words anew! Hear the still speaking God's through our holy scriptures.


We are happy to announce that the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) has published a final, positive benefit assessment decision on photoselective vaporization (PVP) for the treatment of benign prostatic syndrome (BPS) on February 15, 2018. New clinical data has thus provided sufficient evidence that PVP is non-inferior to the standard treatment TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate). Furthermore, PVP demonstrates clinical benefits regarding secondary endpoints.
Boston Scientific welcomes the latest G-BA decision and the consequences resulting from it for clinical practice: G-BA will adopt changes to the guidelines "Methoden Krankenhausbehandlung (Hospital Care Methods, KHMe-RL)" and "Methoden vertragsärztliche Versorgung (Ambulatory Care Methods, MVV-RL)" for PVP. The well-tried minimally invasive procedure will therefore be established in ambulatory care and will continue to remain a necessary treatment option for in-patient care. For urological clinics and centers this means that the important reimbursability is guaranteed in the long run for performing a PVP. This also applies to the thulium laser enucleation in both settings, since the G-BA also issued a final decision to change the respective guidelines here.
Guideline "Methoden vertragsärztliche Versorgung (MVV-RL)"
Boston Scientific welcomes the G-BA's recent decision to adopt changes to both the "Methoden vertragsärztlicher Versorgung" (ambulatory care methods, MVV-RL) and "Methoden Krankenhausbehandlung" (hospital care methods, KHMe-RL) guidelines for thulium laser resection (TmLRP) for the treatment of benign prostatic syndrome (BPS).
There are several methods of treatment for BPS that are authorized in Germany, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), adenectomy, holmium laser resection (HoLRP) and holmium laser enucleation (HoLEP). Prostate resection by means of the thulium laser (TmLRP) procedure is another method for the treatment of BPS and can be deployed as an alternative to the previously mentioned treatment options for patients with an appropriate medical indication. The laser's vaporizing effect is used to cut out tissue from the enlarged prostate using a continual stream of energy, rather than the pulsed energy output provided by holmium laser resection.
The text of the G-BA decision and the main justifications are available online on the G-BA website at https://www.g-ba.de/.

est la phrase-clé du discours du  de Charles de Gaulle, prononcée depuis le balcon de l'hôtel de ville de Montréal, face à la foule réunie sur la rue Notre-Dame.

S'inscrivant dans le contexte de la Révolution tranquille, cette déclaration marque un tournant dans le développement des relations internationales du Québec. Elle a permis de sensibiliser la scène internationale à l'existence du Québec et à la question de son avenir politique.

Saluée au Québec comme un appui à la cause de l'indépendance, critiquée par les tenants du fédéralisme canadien, cette phrase illustre le rapprochement sans précédent entre le Québec et la France sous Charles de Gaulle et Daniel Johnson.

Contexte

Relations entre Charles de Gaulle et le Québec
L'intérêt de Charles de Gaulle pour l'histoire de la France en Amérique remonte à sa jeunesse. Fils d'un enseignant très cultivé, le futur général a été élevé dans une culture faisant une large part à la religion catholique et au patriotisme français. D'esprit curieux, en 1913, alors qu'il n'a que 23 ans, le sous-lieutenant de Gaulle prononce devant ses confrères une conférence sur le thème du patriotisme (« un amour profond de la nation [...] pour toutes les grandes causes »). Pour illustrer cette vertu, de Gaulle cite en exemple trois héros de l'histoire de France. Parmi ces héros se trouvait le défenseur de Québec en 1759, Louis-Joseph de Montcalm : « Qui donc osera proscrire de son âme le feu sacré qui animait une Jeanne d'Arc, l'enthousiasme généreux qui enflammait un Du Guesclin, le sublime amour qui faisait Montcalm héroïque et qui, plus tard, transformait des criminels en héros et en défenseurs de la Liberté ».

Fortement marqué par ses lectures sur l'histoire du Québec (ainsi que par le roman Maria Chapdelaine de Louis Hémon), Charles de Gaulle cherche le soutien des Québécois durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Le 1er août 1940, alors qu'il est en exil à Londres, le général de Gaulle invite les Québécois à se joindre aux forces de la France libre, déclarant que « personne au monde ne peut comprendre la chose française mieux que les Canadiens français ». Cet appel entendu, à la fin de la guerre, Charles de Gaulle viendra en visite à Québec et à Montréal pour une première fois, du 11 au 13 juillet 1944. Toutefois, il n'a pas l'occasion de prendre contact avec la population québécoise.

À la suite de son retour à la vie publique, en tant que président de la France, Charles de Gaulle effectue une deuxième visite au Québec, les 20 et 21 avril 1960. Il est alors reçu à Québec par le premier ministre Antonio Barrette, et à Montréal par le maire Sarto Fournier. Cette deuxième visite au Québec marque le général de Gaulle. Après avoir constaté les progrès et les développements économiques et industriels réalisés par les Québécois malgré leur situation minoritaire au Canada, à son retour en France, le président confie à son ministre de la Culture André Malraux : « Il y a, me semble-t-il, un énorme potentiel français au Québec. Veuillez vous en occuper ».

À la suite des élections de 1960, le Québec et la France entament une nouvelle ère de collaboration. Le Québec et la France multiplient les occasions de resserrer leurs liens économiques, culturels, politiques et diplomatiques. Ainsi, reprenant un projet esquissé en mars 1958, une Maison du Québec à Paris  est ouverte le 5 octobre 1961. En mai 1963, le gouvernement français charge le journaliste et diplomate Pierre-Louis Mallen de se rendre à Montréal pour ouvrir des bureaux de l'Office de radiodiffusion-télévision française (ORTF). Le but est d'assurer une présence permanente au Québec de la radiotélévision française pour alimenter la France en émissions sur les réalités québécoises. Puis, à l'invitation du ministre Georges-Émile Lapalme, la France présente à Montréal, du 11 au 27 octobre 1963, une importante exposition technique et culturelle. Le ministre des Affaires culturelles André Malraux vient l'inaugurer et se rend à Québec par la suite. Enfin, le 27 février 1965, la coopération franco-québécoise se concrétise par la signature officielle à Paris du premier accord France-Québec dans le domaine de l'éducation. Il s'agit de la première fois que le Québec signe une entente officielle avec un pays souverain. Cette entente deviendra le socle de la présence du Québec au niveau international et le point d'appui de la théorie constitutionnelle du prolongement externe des compétences internes du Québec (la doctrine Gérin-Lajoie).

Motivations françaises

Au début des années 1960, des graffiteurs du Réseau de résistance pour la libération nationale du Québec (RR) diffusent déjà sur les monuments, édifices et lieux publics le slogan « Vive le Québec libre ! ». Ce slogan est aussi utilisé par le Rassemblement pour l'indépendance nationale (RIN) et par le Front de libération du Québec (FLQ) dès 1963.

Malgré la position préconisée par le Parti libéral de Jean Lesage quant à l'avenir du Québec au sein du Canada, le général de Gaulle favorise plutôt l'option de l'indépendance politique. Se confiant à son ministre de l'Information Alain Peyrefitte, en avril 1963, le président constate qu'« [e]n réalité, les Canadiens anglais ne comprennent pas les Canadiens français. On peut même dire qu'ils ne les aiment pas. [...] Un jour ou l'autre, les Français se rebelleront contre les Anglais. Du moins au Québec, puisque partout ailleurs au Canada, ils sont minoritaires... Pourquoi aurions-nous donné l'autodétermination aux Algériens, et pourquoi les Anglais ne l'accorderaient-ils pas aux Français du Canada? Un jour ou l'autre, le Québec sera libre ».

Selon l'historien Édouard Baraton, la volonté de de Gaulle de soutenir l'indépendance du Québec s'appuie sur l'idée d'une commune appartenance des Canadiens français et des Français à un même ensemble national. Cette commune appartenance impliquait, pour le chef de l'État français, le devoir de promouvoir les intérêts des « Français du Canada ». Selon la conception gaullienne, issue d'un héritage idéologique composite reprenant des idées exprimées depuis deux siècles, les Canadiens français sont avant tout des Français du Canada vivant dans une situation de sujétion du fait de la Conquête de 1759-1760. L'assimilation par les dirigeants français des Canadiens français à des nationaux français débouchera sur la rédaction d'un projet de « loi du retour » permettant de réaffirmer la nationalité française rémanente des Canadiens d'origine française. Dès lors, l'objectif du chef de l'État français est de procéder grâce aux circonstances à la destruction du Canada issu de l'acte de l'Amérique du Nord britannique pour aboutir à la création d'une « République française du Canada », incarnation américaine de la nation française, ou de fonder une confédération égalitaire canadienne dans laquelle le Québec aurait toute sa place, et dans laquelle les revendications politiques et culturelles des Québécois seraient pleinement reconnues par la majorité canadienne anglophone.

Une autre motivation du général de Gaulle aurait été l'existence de gisements d'uranium au Québec (notamment dans la région de Chibougamau) et au Canada (en Saskatchewan et en Ontario), alors même que la France est en train d'améliorer son arsenal nucléaire. En soutenant un mouvement qui menaçait de faire perdre au Canada une partie de son territoire, de Gaulle souhaitait faire pression sur le gouvernement fédéral canadien pour obtenir la livraison de 500 tonnes d'uranium, pour l'ajouter à  déjà obtenues au Gabon et à Madagascar,  lui étant nécessaires pour l'élaboration de la seconde génération de la force de frappe nucléaire française. Relayant les fuites, un article du Chicago Tribune du  explique : « De Gaulle avait tenté d'acheter de l'uranium canadien en 1966. Mais l'accord est tombé à l'eau, la France ayant refusé les conditions canadiennes selon lesquelles l'uranium devait être utilisé à des fins pacifiques et son usage devait faire l'objet d'inspections. (...) Un Québec souverain pourrait établir ses propres règles sur la vente d'uranium et serait affranchi des contraintes imposées par la commission canadienne de contrôle de l'énergie atomique ».

Tensions diplomatiques entre Paris et Ottawa
À la fin de 1966, le Canada se prépare à célébrer son centième anniversaire. En prévision de cet événement, l'ambassadeur de France à Ottawa François Leduc invite le président français à faire part de ses vœux au gouvernement canadien. Irrité, le général répond par télégramme le 9 décembre 1966 : « Il n'est pas question que j'adresse un message au Canada pour célébrer son "centenaire". Nous n'avons à féliciter ni les Canadiens ni nous-mêmes de  la  création d'un "État" fondé sur notre défaite d'autrefois et sur l'intégration d'une partie du peuple français dans un ensemble britannique. Au demeurant cet ensemble est devenu bien précaire ».

Au printemps 1967, les rapports entre le président français et le gouvernement canadien sont alors très tendus. Lors de la commémoration du 50e anniversaire de la bataille de Vimy (du 9 au 12 avril 1917), le gouvernement du Canada organise une cérémonie sans concertation préalable avec le gouvernement français. En réaction, le gouvernement français n'envoie aucun représentant aux cérémonies (ni aux obsèques de Georges Vanier, mort plus tôt en mars 1967). Redoutant des risques d'intrusion de la France dans les affaires intérieures du Canada, le premier ministre Lester Pearson envoie le ministre Paul Martin pour rendre visite à de Gaulle à Paris pour s'assurer des intentions du président de Gaulle.

Visite officielle de Daniel Johnson à Paris

En juin 1966, Daniel Johnson est élu premier ministre du Québec. L'un de ses objectifs est de faire renouveler la Constitution canadienne de manière à ce que les Québécois, se définissant comme une nation, voient reconnaître leur égalité en tant que peuple par les Canadiens anglais. À défaut de cette égalité, Johnson se montrait prêt à poursuivre la voie de l'indépendance du Québec. Profitant des préparatifs pour le centième anniversaire du Canada, Johnson écrit alors au général de Gaulle afin d'obtenir des appuis à sa cause. Le , « au nom du gouvernement et du peuple québécois », Johnson lui envoie une invitation officielle pour venir à l'Exposition universelle de 1967, prévue pour l'été suivant à Montréal. Sans lui faire connaître sa réponse à l'invitation, le président saisit toutefois l'occasion pour indiquer clairement au nouveau premier ministre que la France est prête à aller plus loin dans la coopération avec le Québec.

Pendant ce temps, l'Assemblée nationale du Québec adopte la loi créant le ministère des Affaires intergouvernementales. Ce nouveau ministère reçoit le mandat de coordonner toutes les activités du gouvernement à l'extérieur du Québec. Un mois plus tard, le premier ministre Daniel Johnson est attendu à Paris pour sa première visite officielle. Johnson est ainsi reçu par de Gaulle du 17 au 22 mai 1967, dans un faste normalement réservé aux chefs d'États souverains. Cet accueil se veut un témoignage de l'affection particulière de de Gaulle pour le Québec.

Au cours de leurs séances de travail, Johnson fait part à de Gaulle d'une conférence interprovinciale en novembre 1967, au cours de laquelle il cherchera à obtenir une réforme de la constitution, c'est-à-dire la reconnaissance de deux nations au sein du Canada. Il presse de Gaulle d'apporter son concours en disant : « Mon général, le Québec a besoin de  vous. Notre peuple vous recevra avec tous les honneurs dus à votre rang et à votre personne. » Johnson précise à de Gaulle qu'il ne viendra « pas dans un pays sous-développé qui attendrait de lui des cadeaux, mais pour quelque chose de beaucoup plus important : permettre au Québec d'atteindre ses objectifs au sein du Canada ». Johnson insiste en disant : « C'est maintenant ou jamais ». De Gaulle acquiesce et conforte le Québécois en disant : « Je suis prêt à vous donner un coup de main qui vous servira pour l'avenir ». Le président français y voit un moyen de donner un coup de main aux Canadiens français que la France a abandonnés au . Des groupuscules indépendantistes comme le Rassemblement pour l'indépendance nationale veulent alors profiter de cette visite pour populariser leur slogan « le Québec libre ».

Visite de Charles de Gaulle

Traversée du Colbert et arrivée à Québec
Après avoir repoussé l'invitation de Daniel Johnson, de Gaulle accepte d'effectuer une visite au Canada. Toutefois, afin de contourner l'exigence d'Ottawa l'obligeant à se rendre d'abord à Ottawa (la capitale fédérale), de Gaulle décide de venir par la mer plutôt que par les airs. Ce faisait, en passant d'abord par le Québec, Charles de Gaulle peut ainsi emprunter le Chemin du Roy, sur la rive nord du fleuve Saint-Laurent, le menant de Québec à Montréal. Ce parcours traversant plusieurs villes et villages avait été suggéré au général de Gaulle par son conseiller diplomatique Bernard Dorin. En rappelant au général de Gaulle que cette route avait été construite à l'origine par Louis XV, le général de Gaulle se serait aussitôt écrit : « C'est celle-là que je veux! »

C'est ainsi que, le , le général de Gaulle monte à bord du croiseur Colbert à Brest. Durant la traversée, il confie à son gendre Alain de Boissieu :

Après une brève escale à Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon le 20 juillet, le croiseur aux pavillons français et québécois accoste à l'Anse-aux-Foulons, à Québec le 23 juillet. Sur le quai, le président de Gaulle est accueilli par le premier ministre Daniel Johnson et par le gouverneur général Roland Michener. Après une courte escale à la citadelle de Québec, Johnson et lui se rendent à l'hôtel de ville, où le président prend son premier bain de foule. Il prononce alors une première allocution, dans laquelle il insiste sur l'identité commune des Français et des Québécois : .

De Gaulle et Johnson empruntent ensuite la route 138 en limousine, jusqu'à Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré où ils assistent à la messe dite par l'archevêque de Québec, Maurice Roy. Après un nouveau bain de foule, ils dînent au Château Frontenac en compagnie de dignitaires fédéraux et québécois. À la suite d'un repas officiel, de Gaulle déclare : .

Chemin du Roy
Le lendemain, 24 juillet, à 9 heures du matin, de Gaulle et Johnson empruntent le Chemin du Roy à bord d'une limousine Lincoln Continental et commencent le trajet devant les mener à Montréal. Contrairement à sa dernière visite en 1960, le général de Gaulle porte son uniforme de général de brigade plutôt qu'une tenue civile. Le trajet comprend six étapes, auxquelles le cortège s'arrête pour faire une allocution. La première est à Donnacona. Il y déclare :  Un peu plus loin, à Trois-Rivières, son allocution va dans le même sens : .

À chacune des six étapes, le président est reçu par le maire et les dignitaires de l'endroit. Sur la route entre Québec et Montréal, les autorités québécoises avaient fait construire pour l'occasion une vingtaine d'arcs de triomphe en branches de sapin, surmontés chacun d'une fleur de lys géante. Les drapeaux disposés le long de la route étaient aux couleurs de la France et du Québec, mais non du Canada. Cette décision déplut fortement au gouvernement du Canada.

Discours de l'hôtel de ville de Montréal

Le 24 juillet, à ,  attendent de Gaulle devant l'hôtel de ville de Montréal. Le cortège amenant Charles de Gaulle et Daniel Johnson est accueilli par le maire Jean Drapeau à l'entrée de l'édifice. Après les hymnes nationaux, les dignitaires entrent dans le bâtiment. Il est prévu que le président français aille saluer la foule au balcon, mais aucun discours ne doit y être prononcé, même si la foule le réclame. Le général demande tout de même à dire quelques mots et son garde du corps Paul Comiti, qui a repéré des micros, les fait installer et brancher.

Installé au balcon, Charles de Gaulle s'exprime en ces mots :

Réactions

Préméditation ou improvisation?
Des questions ont été soulevées quant au caractère prémédité ou improvisé de la déclaration du chef d'État français. Selon le ministre Alain Peyrefitte,  Le général de Gaulle aurait été bien conscient du lien direct qu'il établissait entre les deux cris (« Vive la France libre! » et « Vive le Québec libre! ») lancés pareillement pour dénoncer un État de dictature « canadianisateur », qu'il appelle à renverser pour que règne la démocratie. Selon Peyrefitte, « "Vive le Québec libre !" ne fut pas plus improvisé que l'appel du . L'appel à la liberté, lancé le , n'eut rien de fortuit ».

Selon les principaux collaborateurs du général de Gaulle (et son fils, l'amiral Philippe de Gaulle), il n'était alors pas prévu par les autorités montréalaises que le général s'adressât à la foule. Au contraire, le maire avait prévu une très conventionnelle adresse aux notables dans une simple salle de réception. Quelque peu étonné par le caractère étroit de ce programme, alors que la population réclame que le général puisse s'adresser à elle, son garde du corps Paul Comiti repère les micros du balcon si bien que de Gaulle fait réinstaller la sonorisation. Le président prend alors l'initiative de s'adresser directement aux Montréalais rassemblés devant l'hôtel de ville.

Le 27 novembre suivant, lors d'une conférence de presse en France, le président répond à un journaliste en disant : « Que le Québec soit libre c'est, en effet, ce dont il s'agit. Cela aboutira forcément, à mon avis, à l'avènement du Québec au rang d'un État souverain, maître de son existence nationale, comme le sont par le monde tant et tant d'autres peuples, tant et tant d'autres États, qui ne sont pas pourtant si valables, ni même si peuplés, que ne le serait celui-là ».

Fin connaisseur de la politique internationale, le général de Gaulle cherchait à faire connaître le Québec hors du Canada, et en particulier son caractère francophone et national distinct, négligé par les autorités fédérales.

Au Québec, même le rédacteur en chef fédéraliste du quotidien montréalais Le Devoir, Claude Ryan, reprenait les mots du militant indépendantiste Pierre Bourgault en affirmant que, par sa déclaration, le général de Gaulle venait d'inscrire le Québec sur la carte du monde.

Milieux politiques et médias
De son côté, Lester Pearson réagit le lendemain matin du discours. Le premier ministre du Canada se trouve offensé par la prise de position du président français en faveur de l'indépendance du Québec, mais aussi par son allusion faite à la Libération, insinuant que le Canada se comparait à un État de non-droit démocratique, à un État d'occupation dictatoriale. Pearson affirme dans son discours que .

Une partie de la classe politique française réagit aussi de manière très négative à la déclaration du président. Pour Georges Pompidou, cet intérêt du général pour le Québec tient de la « folie gratuite ». René Pléven s'élève contre cette « irresponsabilité » de la politique étrangère gaullienne, et Jean Lecanuet condamne vivement l'attitude de de Gaulle.

La réaction de la presse canadienne-anglaise et de la presse des autres nations anglophones est extrêmement virulente. Le Montreal Star parle d'un « éléphant en furie », le Windsor Star traite de Gaulle de « dictateur » et l'édition canadienne du Time affirme qu'il est « sénile ». Le Time propose une mise sous tutelle du chef de l'État pour le reste de son mandat pour obvier ses « bizarreries » censées ponctuer son « long et triste déclin ».

La presse française de droite comme de gauche n'est pas en reste. Un éditorial paru dans Le Monde titré « L'excès en tout... » critique cette irruption dans les affaires intérieures d'un État.

Fin du voyage

25 juillet
De Gaulle passe la journée du 25 juillet à visiter l'exposition universelle Terre des Hommes et le tout nouveau réseau du métro de Montréal. Lors du souper, de Gaulle et Johnson en profitent pour échanger des toasts. De Gaulle déclare :  Johnson répond : .

Retour du général de Gaulle en France
Le lendemain matin, 26 juillet, de Gaulle annonce qu'il ne se rendra pas à Ottawa. Jean Drapeau le reçoit lors d'un banquet donné en son honneur en milieu de journée et déclare alors :  De Gaulle lui répond :

Quelques heures plus tard, le président repart pour la France à bord de son avion DC-8 présidentiel.

Conséquences
Ce voyage et le discours du président français ont déclenché la plus grande crise franco-canadienne de l'histoire. Le gouvernement fédéral accuse le président français de s'être ingéré dans ses affaires internes. Les relations entre les deux pays ne s'amélioreront qu'après la démission de de Gaulle en 1969. Les relations entre la France et le Canada seront longtemps marquées par ce discours.

Le ministre canadien nouvellement nommé de la Justice, Pierre Elliot Trudeau, lui-même un francophone de Montréal et le futur premier ministre du Canada à partir de  et jusqu'en 1979, se demandait ce que la réaction française aurait été si un premier ministre canadien avait crié, « la Bretagne aux Bretons ». De Gaulle ne fut pas impressionné par Trudeau :

Au Québec, Jean Lesage accuse Johnson d'avoir inspiré de Gaulle pour ses . Pierre Bourgault, politicien indépendantiste, déclare qu'après ce discours, la plus grande formation indépendantiste (la sienne, le RIN) double le nombre de ses adhérents. Le , le député libéral François Aquin se dissocie de son parti et devient le premier député indépendantiste du Québec. À l'automne de cette même année 1967, René Lévesque quitte à son tour le Parti libéral et fonde le MSA (Mouvement Souveraineté-Association), non sans tourner le dos à de Gaulle toutefois. Le MSA deviendra le Parti québécois un an plus tard. De 1966 à 1970, le vote souverainiste passe de 8 % à 23 %, mais il est difficile de savoir quel est l'impact de la phrase du général de Gaulle dans la croissance significative de ce vote.

Enfin, à la suite du discours du général de Gaulle, Le Quotidien du Peuple, organe du comité central du Parti communiste chinois, dut inventer une nouvelle combinaison d'idéogrammes pour le mot Québec (Kuí-běi-kè en pinyin) lorsqu'il relata l'événement du Vive le Québec libre !.

Postérité

La visite a inspiré une pièce de théâtre, Le Chemin du Roy, écrite en 1968 par Françoise Loranger. Cette pièce est une rétrospective fantaisiste et satirique sur la venue du général de Gaulle au Québec et sur les répercussions qu'a eues cette visite tant sur les francophones que sur les anglophones. Transposée en une joute de hockey, la pièce reprend des répliques de l'actualité, dites par des personnages historiques incarnés sur scène, notamment Pierre Elliot Trudeau, René Lévesque, John Diefenbaker et Judy Lamarsh.

Une statue de de Gaulle est inaugurée à Québec en , à l'occasion du trentième anniversaire de son voyage au Québec. On peut lire sur son socle :

And so on. Yates's life became a burden to him. He could not escape his debtor and his debtor's awful sufferings on account of not being able to pay. He dreaded to show himself in the street, lest he should find Stephen lying in wait for him at the comer.
Bogart's billiard saloon was a great resort for pilots in those days. They met there about as much to exchange river news as to play. One morning Yates was there; Stephen was there, too, but kept out of sight. But by and by, when about all the pilots had arrived who were in town, Stephen suddenly appeared in the midst, and rushed for Yates as for a long-lost brother.
'Well, the Y's stand a gaudy chance. He won't get any further than the C's in THIS world, and I reckon that after a good deal of eternity has wasted away in the next one, I'll still be referred to up there as "that poor, ragged pilot that came here from St. Louis in the early days!"
DURING the two or two and a half years of my apprenticeship, I served under many pilots, and had experience of many kinds of steamboatmen and many varieties of steamboats; for it was not always convenient for Mr. Bixby to have me with him, and in such cases he sent me with somebody else. I am to this day profiting somewhat by that experience; for in that brief, sharp schooling, I got personally and familiarly acquainted with about all the different types of human nature that are to be found in fiction, biography, or history. The fact is daily borne in upon me, that the average shore-employment requires as much as forty years to equip a man with this sort of an education. When I say I am still profiting by this thing, I do not mean that it has constituted me a judge of men-- no, it has not done that; for judges of men are born, not made. My profit is various in kind and degree; but the feature of it which I value most is the zest which that early experience has given to my later reading. When I find a well-drawn character in fiction or biography, I generally take a warm personal interest in him, for the reason that I have known him before-- met him on the river.

Q: Can I have multiple functions in my AngularJS Factory? I'm following the Tutorial from the official AngularJS docs and I want to know if I can add another function to the Phone factory so that I can organize code better. They have declared a "query" function, but what if I wanted to add a query2 function that references a different url...say phones2/:phoneName.json for example?
Factory declaration:
var phonecatServices = angular.module('phonecatServices', ['ngResource']);

phonecatServices.factory('Phone', ['$resource',
  function($resource){
    return $resource('phones/:phoneId.json', {}, {
      query: {method:'GET', params:{phoneId:'phones'}, isArray:true}
    });
  }]);

I have tried a number of things and non of them seem to be working :s
This answer seems to be on the right track, but the syntax for each factory function doesn't quite match up with the above factory.
Something along the lines of:
phonecatServices.factory('Phone', ['$resource',
      function($resource){
       return {
        query: ...
        query2: ...
       }
      }]);

A: One such example of this is:
Link for Demo
angular.module('services', []).factory('factoryName', ["$filter",
  function($filter) {
    var method1Logic = function(args) {
      //code
    };
    var method2Logic = function(args) {
     //code
    };
    return {
      method1: method1Logic,
      method2: method1Logic
    };
  }
]).controller('MainController', ["$scope", "$rootScope", "$filter", "factoryName", function ($scope, $rootScope, $filter,factoryName) {
     $scope.testMethod1 = function(arg){
       $scope.val1 = factoryName.method1(arg);
     };

     $scope.testMethod2 = function(arg){
       $scope.val2 = factoryName.method2(arg);
     };
}]);

There is even a better version Opinionated version of this: References
function AnotherService () {

  var AnotherService = {};

  AnotherService.someValue = '';

  AnotherService.someMethod = function () {

  };

  return AnotherService;
}
angular
  .module('app')
  .factory('AnotherService', AnotherService);

A: This is the service code:
myServices.factory('Auth', ['$resource',
  function($resource){
    return {
      Login: $resource(serviceURL + 'login', {}, { go: { method:'POST', isArray: false }}),
      Logout: $resource(serviceURL + 'logout', {}, { go: { method:'POST', isArray: false }}),
      Register: $resource(serviceURL + 'register', {}, { go: { method:'POST', isArray: false }}),
    };
  }
]);

And from my controller I just have to add the go() function call to make it work:
Auth.Login.go({ username: $scope.username, password: $scope.password },

I guess I could have named the go function after the method and called it "post()" instead for clarity...

A: Yes, Of course, you can have multiple functions in an object. The only caveat is your service should return an object. You can have all the valid javascript members in that object as long as you follow object's syntax.
So following is possible
phonecatServices.factory('Phone', ['$resource',
  function($resource){
      return {
            query: ... , // NOTICE THE COMMA HERE
            query2: ...
       }
}]);

You must be missing the comma (,) to separate your object's key values.

Amazon Indigenous Support Cauca Mobilizations
The Indigenous organizations and communities of Macro Amazonia have issued a statement relating to the current situation of violence and human rights violations and infringement of international human rights law that our indigenous brothers and sisters are suffering in the department of Cauca and, in general, on a national level.
Under the framework of the Assembly of Indigenous Organizations and Communities of Macro Amazonia of the ONIC (the National Indigenous Organization of Colombia), the towns, authorities, associations and indigenous organizations met in Leticia with the aim of creating an analysis of the regional and national situation of our communities. We stand against a state which, through the central government shows its solid support to all manner of invasive, destructive, denigrating and inequitable activities. These activities are disguised under the euphemisms of 'development' and 'progress' and devastate our culture, our way of life and the territory that we have occupied for thousands of years.
It is in this manner that megaprojects threaten the planet's natural equilibrium, attempting to sustain an unworthy and decadent economy which favours death over life, with a government that, using its own logic, does not find viable solutions to conflict and drug trafficking; with a reality that threatens the life and honour of our towns and the rest of Colombian society, which these days sees in its governors a focus of mistrust, corruption and loss of values, without which it is impossible to create a better world for all.
In this context we demand the promotion and implementation of policies for protection and to enable real and effective participation in the construction of social state based on the rule of law; one which is pluricultural, inclusive and respectful of difference and equity. Seeing the extent to which the existence of our planet is endangered, and also our culture, our way of life, and life itself – and being aware of the lack of tact of our central government in the merest details to think, speak and act in a coherent manner to try to resolve different situations, like that of our brothers in Cauca, the Government should show good judgement in respect of the traditional authorities and territorial protection. Through this statement we show our support and solidarity for the just demands being made by our indigenous brothers in Cauca and to all who are now together in the ancestral reserve of La María en Piendamó demanding respect and defense of Mother Earth.
Our demands are:
that the national government recognizes in equal conditions the indigenous authorities of our country, who, with their proposals want to contribute towards the solution of our conflicts and to build a better country.
that the national government commits to discuss in a fair and open way with the indigenous communities of Cauca, the situation of the conflict experienced in indigenous territories.
That the President of the Republic Juan Manuel Santos urgently opens the dialogue requested by the negotiations at the Mesa permanente de Concertación and that the situation of the 102 indigenous communities of Colombia is revised regarding the different agreements which the government have advanced, like the 96 agreements of the National Development Plan.
To all the actors in the Colombian armed conflict: to respect life, culture and the right to self-determination of the indigenous brothers of Colombia, in particular those of the department of Cauca.
That the current indicators of development are evaluated, to define a different model, that does not threaten the equality and the realization of a dignified life for all inhabitants of the country.
We express to our brothers in Cauca that they are not alone in this pacific struggle of resistance and in this way, last August 10, responding to our demands, at the necessity of our communities and the call that they gave, more than a thousand indigenous people in Leticia protested to be able to enforce and guarantee our rights and territorial defence. We also have lived through periods of intense violence, like the genocide of the rubber tappers, and the extermination of our native species, the 'bonanzas' of cocaine, and other periods of colonization and blood and fire that we have had to live through.
For this reason we confirm that the indigenous communities in Latin America, in particular the Amazon and Colombian, have maintained a process of responsibility and defence of life, territory, cultural identity and the autonomy of indigenous towns in the interior of our states.
We know that Colombian communities, in particular the Nasa and other indigenous brothers of Cauca, are living one of the worse humanitarian crises, due to the worsening of the armed conflict, the disrespect for their sacred sites, grave human rights violations and violations of international rights law, causing hundreds of deaths and casualties, damage to civil, cultural and spiritual property, disrespect to the principle of distinction and a certain and imminent risk of physical and cultural disappearance, caused by structural pre-existing factors like poverty, abandonment by the state and the implementation of a model of development other than our conception of 'buen vivir' [buen vivir', literally 'living well', is an indigenous world view concept of a harmonious balance between humans and nature].
For all of these reasons we call upon the international and national community to provide humanitarian accompaniment to the indigenous brothers in Cauca, who at present find themselves in the midst of crossfire, with grave consequences to their physical and cultural safety and we insist that the government and Colombian state seek a negotiated solution to the armed conflict which includes civil society and, in particular, the indigenous authorities, in the construction of real and lasting peace in Colombia.
With the air of life of our sacred plants: tobacco, coca, sweet yucca and 'yage' [a medicinal plant from the Amazon] left by the creator. Leticia 15 August 2012

Street Crimes Unit Arrest of Driver and Passenger in Stolen Vehicle
Eugene, Ore. – On December 20 at 4:35 p.m., the Eugene Police Street Crimes Unit was out and about working and one of the officers spotted a Ford Ranger going southbound on S. Danebo near West 11th Avenue. It matched a truck he knew was listed as a stolen vehicle.
The license plates had also been reported stolen the day before. The SCU officer parked in the 4400 block of Commerce Street and waited while the driver went into a market. The driver, later identified as David Noel Mestaz, age 44, of Eugene, became aware of the officer and walked in the restroom and shut the door.
The officer contacted the passenger of the vehicle, Jessica Lee Miles, age 43, of Eugene, while he waited for other SCU officers to arrive. Once they were there, the officer went inside and contacted Mestaz as he exited the restroom. The passenger, Miles, and Mestaz both had warrants for arrest. Miles has a warrant for Unauthorized Use Vehicle, and Mestaz for Shoplifting.
An SCU officer located evidence associated to another stolen vehicle that had been left in the restroom where Mestaz had been.
SCU charged Miles with Unauthorized Use Vehicle, and the warrant and took Miles to Lane County Jail on her warrant.
Case #21-19999
Eugene Police Street Crimes Unit
The SCU has been focusing on prolific offenders, who are identified through intelligence-based policing, public tips and other sources. They have been proactively responding across the city to quality of life issues as they arise, using all available resources and partners such as community groups, neighborhood associations and city services. SCU is dedicated to targeting immediate and acute community safety system issues while working toward mission-critical enhancements that need to be addressed through a longer-term and broader community safety initiative. The unit currently consists of a lieutenant, a sergeant and eight officers.

Aflac Logo PNG
Aflac is one of the largest American insurance companies, which was established in 1955 in Georgia. The company is most known for providing supplemental insurance assistance and a wide range of policies available. The group has an annual revenue of around 30 billion USD and more than 10 thousand employees worldwide.
The Aflac visual identity is friendly and funny. Its instantly recognizable logo consists of a wordmark with a memorable emblem, placed over the lettering.
The famous company's mascot, the Duck, in order to get more attention and increase the brand's recognition. The Duck advertisings are friendly and always evoke a smile, creating a kind and happy mood.
The Duck is known to symbolize happiness and fidelity, it also represents resourcefulness and reflects flexibility and success. But the famous today such has not always been on the company's logo. The Aflac visual identity has not very long, but interesting history of logo designs.
Thought the company was organized in 1955, its first logo was lost by today, but more likely it consisted of a simple monochrome wordmark, saying "American Family Life Insurance Company", as it was the original name of the corporation.
The logo was redesigned in 1964 in order to stand out in the list of the company's competitors. The logo of those years was composed of an oval emblem with a thick outline and a very detailed image of a happy family with two kids. The wordmark was placed around the outline and contained a full company's name.
The black and white color scheme of the original emblem reflected professionalism and confidence of the insurer, and the happy smiles of the people on the image added a sense of joy and reliability.
The logo was redesigned in 1990, as well as the name of the company was changed to Aflac. It was an abbreviation of the original name, but with "Insurance" replaced by "Assurance".
The new logo was executed in a more modern and professional way, depicting a large-sized nameplate in black, with a delicate emblem. The emblem was composed of four silhouettes — a family with two kids — executed in a light blue color and placed over the first letter "A" of the inscription.
It was a pretty simple and laconic example of the visual identity design, which was representing a successful company and its trustworthiness and authority.
The wordmark was executed in a thin and elegant serif typeface, which is very similar to Garamont Amst SB Italic with its distinct serifs elongated and its lines clean and neat.
The latest redesign of the Aflac's visual identity was held in 2004. And that is when the iconic mascot appeared.
The Duck was designed by Kaplan Thaler Group in 1999 and first was seen in the advertising, taking its official place on the company's logo only five years after.
The new logo is composed of a light blue wordmark with a three-dimensional duck's head placed over the letter "L". The Duck is drawn half-turn, facing left and looks like it is smiling.
The white and blue color palette of the company's visual identity with a bright orange accent (the duck beak) adds freshness and vitality to the logo, reflecting a responsible and reliable brand, which values its customer's life and comfort above all.
The company's wordmark is executed in a bold sans-serif typeface, which is very similar to Today's fonts family, but with the letter, "A" modified. It has its horizontal bar cut diagonally on the left, which adds lightness and individuality to the brand's logo and makes it playful and crispy.
The font featured straight neat lines and distinct contours of the letters with its traditional cuts and rounded shapes. It looks professional and evokes a sense of expertise.
The huge American company has its subsidiary in Japan, which enables it to serve clients in North America and Asia and provide them with the best insurance products.
Started in the 1950s as a small family business, Alfac grew into one of the most influential groups in the United States and took its place in the Fortune500 list. Today the company's clientele includes not only individuals but also more than 400 thousand commercial organizations in the USA, Japan, and Puerto Rico.
The company works mostly in the supplemental insurance service segment for those, who already have general medical or primary coverage. The corporation's products include life insurance, accident, and disability plans, cancer, critical illness, and recovery policies, along with short-term disability, sickness and hospital indemnity and intensive care, and various dental plans.
The Alfac Group has its website and mobile application, which provide its customers with all the information needed and makes the process of getting policies easier and faster. The company uses all the innovative technologies in order to improve its services and make its clients' feel protected.

Your organization may be present on social media and it may have a CRM (customer/constituent relationship management) strategy, but if you don't have a social CRM strategy that combines the strengths of those two, you're missing a key piece of the puzzle. So says a new report by IBM.
I can't begin to sum up the greatness of this report, so I'm going to have to resort to a lot of block quotes. Though it's written by and for a for-profit audience, I believe a lot of this report's principles can be applied to the nonprofit and association crowd as well.
CRM strategy, enabled by processes and technologies, is architected to manage customer relationships as a means for extracting the greatest value from customers over the lifetime of the relationship. These strategies typically concentrate on the operational responses required to manage the customer.
Companies need to embrace this shift with a new strategy - Social CRM, which recognizes that instead of managing customers, the role of the business is to facilitate collaborative experiences and dialogue that customers value.
Be clear on the differences between social media and other channels. Social CRM is about enabling engagement with the customer for the mutual benefit of the customer and the business. The traditional model of managing the customer relationship needs to adapt to the reality that the customer is now in control.
The good news is that social media can help you gain valuable intel about a person and better inform your relationship with them, even helping you do cheaper, yet more qualitative, research about your supporter base.
Make the customer experience seamless – across social media and other channels. If you know your customer in one channel, you need to know him or her in other channels as well. This means the social solution should not be devised as an isolated standalone program, but needs to be thoughtfully integrated with other customer-facing initiatives.
Start thinking like a customer. Instead of asking why your company should engage in social media, ask why a customer would choose to interact with your company in a social platform. Recast social interaction strategies to focus on giving customers the value they seek and the customer intimacy will come.

A cheater and a liar
We often have visitors write in with solutions to each others' problems. Here is a visitor's solution to one of our visitor's questions.
Original Visitor's Question from a 21-30 year old Female
My boyfriend of almost two years cheated on me twice. I'm 20 and he is 21. The first time, he kissed a girl a year ago, but he stopped talking to her and never told me about it. The second time was about a month ago at a party when he was drunk, and he took a girl back to his house and had sex with her.
I found out about the girl he slept with when my friends told me, and at first he lied about it and said it wasnt true but then owned up to it. When I asked him if there were any more incidences, he then said he wanted to confess everything and be honest, so he told me about the girl he kissed a year ago. He says thats he's so sorry and regrets it, has learned his lesson and loves me more than anything, but I dont know whether to believe him or not since he has shown himself to be a cheater and a liar. Should we try to work it out?
User Submitted Advice from a 13-20 year old Female
Earn back trust
First you should ask yourself if you really want to be with him na dif you really believe him.Because in the end its you who will have e=to deal with the consequences.I think that he has learned his lesson and he will not cheat again but, you can't always be so sure he will say it but he may not mean it. So for your sake you can stay with him but make him earn back your trust (make sure you tell him) you never wan thim to think that he has gotten away with murder.

Media & Learning provides a platform to those responsible for creating, promoting and using media in the classroom, on and off campus as well as in training and lifelong learning centres.
Headlined 'From passive to active use of media in teaching and learning', the aim 2014 conference – aptly hosted by the Flemish Ministry of Education in Brussels – was to promote the sharing of best-practice, exchange of know-how and hands-on amongst practitioners. With its clear call for action, it also gave policy-makers and decision-makers the opportunity to discuss how to develop digital and media literacy in the broader context of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship and the value and impact of such skills in relation to the European work-force.

Title:Approximation Algorithms and Hardness of the k-Route Cut Problem

Abstract: We study the k-route cut problem: given an undirected edge-weighted graph G=(V,E), a collection {(s_1,t_1),(s_2,t_2),...,(s_r,t_r)} of source-sink pairs, and an integer connectivity requirement k, the goal is to find a minimum-weight subset E' of edges to remove, such that the connectivity of every pair (s_i, t_i) falls below k. Specifically, in the edge-connectivity version, EC-kRC, the requirement is that there are at most (k-1) edge-disjoint paths connecting s_i to t_i in G \ E', while in the vertex-connectivity version, NC-kRC, the same requirement is for vertex-disjoint paths. Prior to our work, poly-logarithmic approximation algorithms have been known for the special case where k >= 3, but no non-trivial approximation algorithms were known for any value k>3, except in the single-source setting. We show an O(k log^{3/2}r)-approximation algorithm for EC-kRC with uniform edge weights, and several polylogarithmic bi-criteria approximation algorithms for EC-kRC and NC-kRC, where the connectivity requirement k is violated by a constant factor. We complement these upper bounds by proving that NC-kRC is hard to approximate to within a factor of k^{eps} for some fixed eps>0.
We then turn to study a simpler version of NC-kRC, where only one source-sink pair is present. We give a simple bi-criteria approximation algorithm for this case, and show evidence that even this restricted version of the problem may be hard to approximate. For example, we prove that the single source-sink pair version of NC-kRC has no constant-factor approximation, assuming Feige's Random k-AND assumption.

[block]0[/block]Prairie Ridge Review
Prairie Ridge, established in 1969, is a private non-profit dedicated to alcohol and drug treatment. While its main facility is in Mason City, Iowa, there are outreach offices in Algona, Hampton, Charles City and Forest City. Prairie Ridge offers a variety of outpatient and inpatient options, including gender-segregated residential programs.
Prairie Ridge's male and female facilities are a short distance from each other on the same campus in Mason City, all surrounded by foliage, tree-lined walking trails and peaceful prairies. With 30 beds each in double-occupancy rooms, both residences are furnished professionally but comfortably. Each resembles a college dorm with communal areas (with TVs), living rooms, seating areas and bedrooms with attached bathrooms. Each facility also has a kitchen, a meeting area with Internet, an exercise room with basic gym equipment, an office and on-site laundry.
Mealtimes are developed with the approval and supervision of a licensed dietitian. Food is planned and prepared by qualified cooks and all meals are eaten together. Special dietary needs can be considered, but only if they are clearly communicated to staff before admission. Family members may not bring in special foods.
Once clients complete an evaluation, they are assigned to a licensed counselor who helps them coordinate a treatment plan. The inpatient program averages 28 days and focuses on coping strategies and real-life skill acquisition through individual and group therapy. Treatment methods fall under a goal-oriented DBT framework which includes Motivational Interviewing (MI), solution-focused counseling, critical incident management (CISM) and work-life coaching. Relapse prevention techniques are also a focus as clinicians work with residents to develop aftercare plans. Programming consists of a minimum of 50 therapeutic hours per week.
Those who choose Intensive Outpatient (IOP) may select a low or high-intensity option. Low-intensity clients are required to attend a minimum of nine clinical hours per week, while high-intensity clients meet for 20. These programs are mostly the same as inpatient care, though they also include mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness through the Matrix Model. Prairie Ridge recommends clients undergo IOP for six weeks, whether as a standalone plan or as a step-down from residential treatment.
A typical day for those in outpatient consists of combined therapy sessions with inpatient residents between 9 am and 5 pm, Monday through Friday. Clients alternate between individual and group therapy in the day and evening.
Prairie Ridge's staff is made up of certified addiction counselors, prevention specialists, support staff and clinical assistants. Access to psychiatry is also available to assist with co-occurring disorders and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT).
In addition to alcohol and drug treatment, Prairie Ridge offers help in job searches and other "soft skills," such as choosing the appropriate attire for an interview.
Prairie Ridge's long-established history and commitment to helping addicts in Northern Iowa community make it a solid option for compassionate, goal-oriented care. Many of their dedicated staff have been at Prairie Ridge for decades, and all work closely with residents to make sobriety an attainable lifestyle change.

Home USA Online Casino News General Resorts World Catskills Competes to Get Players Back onto the Gaming Floors
Resorts World Catskills Competes to Get Players Back onto the Gaming Floors
Resorts World Catskills originally planned to open its Monticello casino in March 2018 but made an unprecedented decision to move this date forward to February to capitalize on the Chinese New Year two-week holiday.
On February 8, 2018, one month earlier than initially scheduled, Resorts World Catskills opened its astounding 900 million-dollar commercial casino for the general public, allowing the public to take advantage of their vibrant facility over the holiday season.
Opening to wide acclaim, the company hoped to make use of the estimated 3.5 billion trips that many Chinese citizens undertake during this exciting time of the year, in a bid to encourage them to visit the Catskills casino on their travels.
What Resorts World Can Offer That Other Casinos Cannot
Many industry experts have expressed concern over the viability of such a new casino like this surviving its first year in the business. This comes as reports of other casinos in the region having difficult first years of trading, making many question whether Resorts World will fare any better with their attempts.
However, Resorts World believes that the Catskills site is unique in its strategy, and part of that includes targeting the Asian demographic, from the Chinese New Year holiday and beyond, which other casinos still fail to capitalize on.
Another suggestion behind this way of thinking is that a significant amount of the population of Asia has heard of, and maybe even had personal experience with, Resorts World, considering that it has casinos based throughout the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore.
Resorts World Needs to Capitalize on Its US Audience
Though Resorts World may be well known and liked throughout Asia, when it comes to its US reputation there's no denying that it still has some way to go.
It may be part of the Genting Group, which is undoubtedly the largest casino company in the world, but to be able to make the 5 billion-dollar gaming revenue in America that it currently makes further afield, it needs to work to turn the Catskills site, and others like it, into a household name in the US. Currently, it is Caesars whom that title belongs to.
Genting Groups Is Trying to Crack the US Market
That's not to say that the Genting Group hasn't been actively trying to break into the lucrative US casino market. In fact, they have potential casino resorts planned in Las Vegas on the strip, of all places, and Miami's Omni district as well. Added to this portfolio is the operational Resorts World site which is based in Queens, New York City.
Though Genting Group is forging ahead with plans, the Las Vegas and Miami venues have encountered a variety of setbacks in the race to build Resorts World casinos.
The Las Vegas venue now has the go-ahead, but gamers will have to wait until 2020 to see the finished building. This multibillion-dollar project ground to a halt in 2016 and construction was prevented from continuing, with economic struggles cited as the reason.
Similarly, the Miami location may have been paid for to the tune of 236 million-dollars, all the way back in 2011, but as yet nothing has been agreed on due to Florida's government not confirming the sign off of a casino being built on the district's popular South Beach area.
Now remains the question of how well the Resorts World Catskills casino can perform in a full casino marketplace. With the Monticello site laying claim to being Genting Groups first stateside integrated resort, shareholders will now have to wait a year before checking on those all-important first year trading figures.

You have to understand that nutritional cleansing is something that you should consider since it helps eliminate impurities that could harm the body and help you recover with natural nutrients. It is vital that you find a good nutritional cleansing program that will give you the nutrients you need especially when it comes to burning fat in the most natural way possible.
Most people get health issues because they lack proper diet as well as insufficient exercise; this is why a good nutritional cleansing program is going to be needed for these individuals. A bad diet is going to cause you a feeling of lethargy which means you will find it hard to find the energy that you need to move and do some exercise. You need to understand that your body needs the nutritional diet that has proper balance and if you give your body that, you will get more than just energy.

Muscle tone and concentration is going to be better with the nutritional cleansing program. Slowly, you will reduce your craving for junk food. Your weight will slowly stabilize with the right nutritional cleansing program because the program is going to balance out your digestion.
You need to understand that with the help of a proper nutritional cleansing program, you will be able to sustain a well balanced diet that will help you keep up a healthier lifestyle. You have to know that impurity build up is due to harmful food that you get from fast food chains and supermarkets that sell pre-cooked meals. You need to forget about highly processed meats to your diet list. You need to understand that you only have one life to live so you better take care of that life because you will not be getting another life once you ran out of one; this is why it is so important for someone to have a healthy life and with the help of the right nutritional cleansing program, you can. This guide is what you need to wake up; remember that you only live once so make it count and live a healthy life.


Once in a while an extraordinary talented artist comes along and sets the stage ablaze. The gifted young pianist Yuja Wang unleashed incendiary fireworks in gleaming performances of concertos by Ravel and Stravinsky at the New World Symphony's season opening concert on October 18 at the Lincoln Theater in Miami Beach.
A student of Gary Graffman, Wang possesses remarkable dexterity and the kind of flawless technical acumen that most young pianists can only dream of. Her big boned, no holds barred technique can meet any musical challenge. That alone would be impressive but Wang's superb command of the keyboard is wedded to a searching, arresting musical personality.
Ravel's Concerto in D Major for Left Hand Piano, written in 1932 for pianist Paul Wittgenstein who lost his right arm during combat in World War I, can sound episodic and mundane in mediocre performances. Yuja Wang's rendition was special indeed. She imbued the work with inventive modernity and virile power. Ravel's music has never sounded closer in spirit to Stravinsky's trail blazing scores of the same era.
Stravinsky's Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra emerged as truly visionary. Wang perfectly contoured the score's raucous, jazzy 1920's sensibility with the composer's quirky, acerbic harmonies and jagged rhythms.
New World artistic director Michael Tilson Thomas was on fire, leading energetic, snappy accompaniments. As an encore, Wang provided razzle dazzle virtuosity in the Russian Dance from Stravinsky's Petrouchka. Her incendiary pianistic fireworks recalled Vladimir Horowitz in his prime. Wang's future career holds great promise. She is already a remarkable musician.
Throughout the evening, the New World fellows were in great form. Tilson Thomas launched the evening with a rousing traversal of the Entrance of Bacchus from Leo Delibes' ballet Sylvia. The conductor evocatively captured the orchestral mist and sun of Ravel's Rhapsodie Espagnole. Lustrous orchestral playing channeled these beguilingly impressionistic Latin miniatures.
Tilson Thomas vividly conveyed the voluptuous impetuosity of Stravinsky's Suite from The Firebird. Silken strings and bright toned winds caressed the sensuous Lullaby while the brass had a field day in Infernal Dance of Kashchei. Tilson Thomas masterfully controlled the exquisite transition to the joyous finale, unleashing an exciting orchestral panoply of gorgeous sonority – a superb finale to an evening of high voltage music making.


I know I am a little late on posting my favorite looks from the Met Ball this week. It's been a busy one and compiling these looks seemed to have taken me a year. I found that there weren't too many ensembles that I didn't like and that most everyone looked beautiful. Maybe it's the hormones but I couldn't find fault in many looks (except Margot Robbie and Sandra Lee, God Bless them). I did have a few faves based on the interesting details or the surprising choices, so those are what I wanted to share!
Cara, Janelle, Diana and more. I loved the looks all the way down to the little details. Swoon worthy accessories and dramatic coats... Dreamy heels and great beauty looks... I loved them head to toe.
Which were your favorite looks from the night?
AMAZING OUFTIF ! Cara D. & Janelle M. had the best style !

Ruby Walsh: I fell off a horse as boy… and my next memory was being in Naas hospital
Ruby (tried) to take a trip down memory lane on the latest episode of our From the Horse's Mouth Podcast.
By Ruby Walsh / Horse Racing Tips / 2 years ago
Back when I was a kid, every winter's afternoon after school myself and a guy called Alan Fleming, who is now a trainer, would go out and feed the horses at the other end of my dad's farm.
We'd ride ponies up carrying a bag of nuts and a bale of hay, feed the horses in the field, and then ride back. It was the quickest way to do it.
The latest International horse racing odds on PP.com now
But on this particular day my mum and dad had gone south, so the head man in the yard sent me on my own. After riding up to the horses and the top of the farm and giving them their feed, I turned to come home.
We usually jumped on our way back, but it went a bit wrong this time.
I remember the first jump… the next memory I have was being in Naas hospital.

'Horses can't be turned off like cars… they need fine turning for coronavirus lockdown' – Ruby Walsh
I must have got up and caught the pony. I know I didn't ride him back because my feet were wet, meaning I must have walked through the river on the way home.
I walked him into the yard, and the lads saw me coming in leading the pony, not having a clue where I was. My uncle-in-law, who lived next door, came and collected and put me in the car to take me off to Naas hospital.
Back in those days no-one had a mobile phone so my aunt rang a shop called Kinane's in Cashel, and one of the women who worked in there knew my family and waited in the street until my parents went through and told them what had happened.
There were traffic lights in the middle of the town so cars used to crawl through, and when she spotted them she was able to grab their attention. As soon as heard they turned around and came straight home.
That's how it was done in the old days!
I still don't remember what happened that day, but obviously now there is a lot more awareness of concussion and the dangers of it.

Currently we do not have discount airlines flying to Karpathos in our database. Please look for airline tickets in the on-line ticket shops.
Karpathos is one of the largest of the Greek Dodecanese islands on the South-East of the Aegean Sea. The island consists of the municipality of Karpathos and the Olympos community. Part of Olympos lies to the north of the Saria Island. The island is situated about 29.4 miles away, on the way to Rhodes, right on the Carpathian Sea. Karpathos Island International Airport, also known as "Ammopi" (AOK), is located on the Afiartis area, to the south. Daily domestic flights connect the island with Athens, Rhodes, Crete and Kasos. There are also regular charter airline flights from different cities, including Piraeus. Karpathos is connected to the neighboring islands and, of course, to the mainland via airplanes. "Amoppi" has a relatively large runway and many flights to other cities' airports. There are also ferries that provide transportation to other European cities, most of which are scheduled several times a day during high season (April to October). In 2001, the island's population was 6,511 inhabitants, of which only 22 actually lived on Saria Island full-time. This number always doubles in the summer season because many Karpathian expatriate families fly to the island for their vacation. If you take into consideration the number of tourists that visit, there can be up to 20,000 people on the island during the summer months. As a great number of tourists come to visit Karpathos, local airline companies usually compete fiercely by offering airline fares at great prices, including special discounts, all year long. The population density of the island is greatest around the 15th of August because of the Panagias festival. People travel from around the world to attend the festival that presents the many native customs that exist on the island. If your ultimate aim is to find cheap airfare, this may not be the best time to schedule a flight.
