Retailers Compile Blacklist Of Workers Accused Of Theft
Apr 4th 2013 8:20AM
By Ashley Lutz
Retailers are keeping track of employees suspected of stealing in databases that could keep them from ever working in the industry again.
These databases are used my major retailers including Family Dollar, Target, and CVS, report Stephanie Clifford and Jessica Silver-Greenberg at The New York Times.
The databases usually don't involve criminal charges, and most employees aren't aware that they've been put on the list until it's too late, according to the Times.
"But the databases, which are legal, are facing scrutiny from labor lawyers and federal regulators, who worry they are so sweeping that innocent employees can be harmed," the Times reported. "The lawyers say workers are often coerced into confessing, sometimes when they have done nothing wrong, without understanding that they will be branded as thieves."
More:Nice People Shouldn't Work In This Industry
Employee thefts cost retailers about $15 billion a year, according to the National Retail Federation.
The Times spoke to several people who are suing the database companies after being turned down for jobs. Some had not even admitted guilt for the alleged thefts.
Proponents of the databases say that it's important for companies to weed out potential thieves in the struggling economy.
But consumer attorneys say the system is full of abuses, since the database entries generally stem from statements obtained by a store's security force, which are not subject to due process, and employees may not even know such records exist.
Worst Retail Chains To Work For
Average hourly wage for sales associates: $10.41
CEO William Dillard II's total compensation last year: $4.01 million
Working sales at Dillard's can be a dramatic affair, complain several employees on Glassdoor.com. The clerks can be territorial, as they compete for sales numbers. There's little training, many say, and high turnover. Employees labor under the constant threat of termination, and with dizzyingly impossible-to-meet sales goals. The result: dismal morale.
Average hourly wage for sales associates: $7.51
CEO David Perdue Jr's total compensation last year: $1.94 million
The benefits and pay are low and there's a ton of work, especially because many of the stores run with a skeleton staff, employees gripe on Glassdoor.com. "They are not very understanding about family emergencies, your health, and love loading you with way more than you can handle," says one manager, even though Dollar General saw its profits last quarter soar 36 percent from the same time last year. The discount chain gets an average employee rating of 2.4 out of 5.
CEO Do Won Chang and his wife and CMO Jin Sook don't have publicly available salaries, because Forever 21 is a private company, but Forbes estimates their net worth at $3.6 billion.
Do Won Chang is no stranger to grueling work, having held three jobs at once -- as a janitor, gas station attendant and coffee shop barista -- when he first immigrated to America in 1981. But now as the co-founder, along with his wife, of retailer Forever 21, Chang doesn't have to mop a floor again. He's worth almost $4 billion.
But employees at his cheap chic chain aren't saved from the menial grind. While Forever 21 wasn't on the 100 biggest retail list, its lowly employee rating of 2.3 earns it an honorary spot. On Glassdoor.com, sales associates bemoan the long hours, which sometimes keep them in the store to the early hours of the morning. In January, a handful of Forever 21 employees filed a class action lawsuit against the chain, alleging that the company routinely failed to pay for time worked, and forced employees to labor through breaks and stay after they clocked out -- so that supervisors could check their bags for stolen goods.
CEO James Gooch's total compensation last year: $5.6 million
You have to work hard at RadioShack, say employees on Glassdoor.com, who complain about intense pressure from above to make sales goals, while managers lament about the time spent away from home with their 50- to 60-hour-a-week schedules. They give the company an average of 2.4 out of 5.
"Minimum wage unless you annoy people into buying a wireless phone," said a sales associate. And because of the high sales targets, "managers will always be on your back about absolutely everything," said one sales rep in Arlington, Texas. "Almost to the point where your whole life revolves around RadioShack and would seem as if you have lost your personal life."
CEO Michael Balmuth's total compensation last year: $12.5 million
The company doesn't have enough managers, so sales associates complain they don't get properly trained. And while employees have very nice things to say about each other, many of them agree that Ross Stores somehow manages to attract the rudest, most demoralizing customers. Then there's also the part about low pay, few raises, being understaffed and overworked. Employees on Glassdoor.com give the department chain a 2.4 out of 5.
Average hourly wage for grocery clerks: $15.45
Average hourly wage for baggers: $8.68
CEO Bob Piccinini's salary isn't available, because Super Mart is a private company. But as the majority shareholder of a chain with an annual revenue of around $5 billion, you can bet it's more than a bagger.
Employees are dissatisfied with Save Mart, according to Glassdoor.com, giving the 60-year-old supermarket chain an average rating of 2.4 out of 5. Many complain about a lack of promotion opportunities, and general disrespect from upper management.

Google announced the release of the second version of its operating system for smart watch — Android Wear 2.0. Simultaneously, the company introduced two models of the devices from LG that will come with the new system.
Android Wear 2.0 introduced the ability to customize the dials, displaying on the main screen of the desired function. Also the system has an ability to quickly change the dials and, consequently, their function.
the Fit App got the ability to track pace, distance, calories burned and, if available on the watch, heart rate monitor, monitor heart rate during walking, running or Cycling. In addition, the opportunity to monitor the amount of push-UPS, sit-UPS and squats, repetitions lifting a barbell or dumbbell.
Android Wear 2.0, you can download apps directly on the watch, so they can operate without being connected to the phone. Thus, in the presence of the cell module in hours, the user will be able to call directly from your watch.
in Addition, users now have the ability to reply to messages using the keypad on the watch's screen previously, you had to either dictate text or send emojis. Google has also added the voice assistant Google Assistant, which is used in home Google Home.
Together with the system Google has introduced a watch LG watch LG Watch Style and Sport. The "sport" model differs from "stylish" by the presence of the NFC chip for payments, a GPS system for navigation and heart rate monitor and mobile communication module.


I recently visited Orange County over my reading break (one week break during midterms) to visit my boyfriend Eric and to get away from the freezing weather here in Toronto. By now, I've visited the OC several times so I felt pretty local there, and less like a tourist. I had so much fun visiting the beaches in Laguna as well as exploring parts of LA. If I had to sum up my trip in a few words, it would be: beaches, lazy days in bed, laughter, and lots of good food.
The Getty museum in LA was absolutely beautiful. I loved the architecture there and all the outdoor terraces. It was my first time visiting this museum and I highly recommend it (plus it's free to get in!) It took a little bit of convincing but I managed to get Eric to sketch some artwork with me. We also stopped by LACMA to take some pictures with the Urban Lights.
I'm not sure if it's because I don't live in SoCal but all the places I visited seem way cooler and more hip than Toronto which makes me so excited (and still in shock) that I'll be moving to California to live permanently in just a few months.

\section{Introduction.}
The measurement of the asymmetry for the pairs of hadrons with the
high transverse momenta is a way of direct measurement of the
gluon polarization via the Photon Gluon Fusion (PGF) process~\cite{carlitz,pt1}.
Requiring two hadrons with high transverse momenta in the final state the PGF process
contribution, originally small in DIS, can be increased.

The cross section asymmetry with the production of at least two
hadrons with large transverse momenta,  $A^{\ell N \rightarrow
\ell hhX}$, at the parton level consists of three terms
corresponding to the contributions from three lowest order
processes: leading process (LP), PGF and QCD Compton process
(QCDC):
\begin{equation}
 A^{\ell N \rightarrow \ell hhX} =
  {\frac{\Delta q} {q}}( \langle\hat{a}_{LL} \rangle^{LP}  R_{LP} +
  \langle\hat{a}_{LL}\rangle^{QCDC}  R_{QCDC} ) +
{\frac{\Delta G} {G}}\langle\hat{a}_{LL}\rangle^{PGF} R_{PGF}\;.
\label{eq:gluon}
\end{equation}
The relevant diagrams are schematically shown in Fig.\ref{fig:pgf}.

\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=10cm]{./fig1.eps}
\end{center}
\caption{Lowest order diagrams for DIS $\gamma^{\ast}$ absorption:
a) leading process (LP),
b) gluon radiation (QCDC),
c) photon-gluon fusion (PGF). \label{fig:pgf}}
\end{figure}

In the asymmetry formula $\langle\hat{a}_{LL}\rangle$ is the
average partonic asymmetry for a given process  and   $R$ the
ratio of its cross section with respect to the total cross section
for the selected sample of events. The measurement of the
asymmetry  $A^{\ell N \rightarrow \ell hhX}$  thus permits an
evaluation of the gluon polarization, $\Delta G/G$,  if all other
elements in Eq.~(\ref{eq:gluon}) are known. The quark asymmetry
$\Delta q / q$ can be approximated from the value of $A_1$
obtained in inclusive measurements. The partonic asymmetries
$\hat{a}_{LL}$ and the ratios $R$ are calculated for Monte Carlo
simulated events in the kinematic region covered by the data. The
applicability of the presented method is based on the assumption
that three considered processes can be separated and therefore it
is limited to the leading order QCD approximation. The description
of hadron production in DIS muon interaction, in terms of the
three processes showed in Fig.~\ref{fig:pgf} using Monte Carlo
event generator LEPTO has been successfully tested in EMC and E665
experiments. Other processes, such as those involving resolved
photon contribution, are expected to have  small contributions for
$Q^2$ above $1$~GeV$^2$ and have not been taken into account in
the presented analysis.

The cross section asymmetry, $A^{\ell N \rightarrow \ell hhX}$, is
related to the counting rate  asymmetry, $A^{exp}$,  by:
$A^{exp}=P_B P_T f A^{\ell N \rightarrow \ell hhX}$, where $f$ is
the effective dilution factor, which takes into account the
dilution of spin asymmetries by unpolarized nuclei in the target
and by radiative effects on the nucleon, $P_B$ and $P_T$ stand for
beam and target polarization, respectively.

\section{Data selection. }
Event sample for further studies was defined by requiring 2
hadrons with transverse momenta above 0.7~GeV and energy fraction
$z$ above 0.1 (to reduce target fragmentation contribution). Also
selection on event kinematics, including $Q^2\ge 1$~GeV$^2$ and
vertex position were applied.

The SMC experiment has used polarized muon beam of CERN SPS with
energy 190 GeV scattered off polarized proton (butanol or amonia)
and deuteron (deuterated butanol) targets. The high intensity
polarized muon beam with energy 160 GeV is used in COMPASS
experiment together with polarized $^6$LiD target. The $^6$LiD
target with higher dilution factor $f$ (larger fraction of the
polarized deuterons inside the target) and high muon intensity
beam allow to increase the precision of the asymmetry measurement
in COMPASS.

In the SMC experiment after all selections the total number of
remaining events amounts to about 80k for the proton and  70k for
the deuteron sample. The detailed discussion of the SMC analysis
is presented in~\cite{pt_paper}.

The data after selection were compared with the MC sample
generated with LEPTO and the  experimental conditions have been
taken into account. In order to describe the data, it was found
necessary to change the values of two  parameters describing the
quark fragmentation in JETSET~\cite{pt_paper}. The statistical
precision of the  gluon polarization determined from
Eq.~(\ref{eq:gluon}) depends on the precision of the  measured
asymmetry $A^{\ell N \rightarrow \ell hhX}$ and on the fraction of
PGF events ($R_{PGF}$) in the final sample. Several methods of
additional selections were tried to obtain a finale sample large
enough and with a maximal contribution of PGF events.

pairs for all $Q^2$ from COMPASS  2002-2004 data are shown. }

\end{tabular}

\end{figure}

For SMC data the best results were obtained with the selection
based on the neural network (NN) approach ~\cite{acta_paper}.
Comparison of selection efficiency and sample purity for this
method and a method using cut on the sum $p_{T1}^{2}+p_{T2}^{2}$
is shown in Fig.\ref{fig:comp_traf}. Better  statistical precision
was obtained with the neural network method. For COMPASS the
selection $p_{T1}^{2}+p_{T2}^{2} > 2.5$ GeV$^2$ was used.

\section{Gluon polarization determination from SMC data. }

The gluon polarization has been evaluated from Eq.~(\ref{eq:gluon}) using
the measured  $A^{\ell N \rightarrow \ell hhX}$ asymmetry, obtained for
the samples with enhanced $R_{PGF}$ by NN selection.
 The measured muon asymmetries are: $A_p = 0.03 \pm
0.057\pm 0.01$ and $A_d = 0.070 \pm 0.076 \pm 0.010$. The
partonic asymmetries  $\hat{a}_{LL}$ of each  sub-process have
been calculated for each Monte-Carlo event  and averaged. The
values of the ratios $R$ provided by the simulation for the LP,
QCDC and PGF processes are 0.38, 0.29 and 0.33, respectively. The
contributions  of different processes for the proton and deuteron
samples differ by less than 0.02.

The  gluon polarization is determined for the  kinematic region
covered  by the selected sample and corresponds to a given
fraction of nucleon momentum carried by gluons $\eta$. This
quantity is known for simulated events  but cannot be directly
determined from the data. The averaged value for the selected PGF
events in the MC sample, $\eta =$0.07, is used as the reference
value for the result obtained on $\Delta G/G$.

Averaging the results for  proton and deuteron  obtained with the
neural network selection  ${{\Delta G} /  {G}} = -0.20 \pm 0.28
\pm 0.10$ has been obtained. The accuracy is limited by the
reduction to less than 1\% of the DIS sample by the hadron
selection requirements. The systematic errors contain dependence
on the simulation parameters, scale dependence in the generation
and systematic uncertainty on the measured asymmetry.

\section{The high $p_T$ analysis at COMPASS and the result for gluon polarization.}

The asymmetry for the selected sample with $p_{T1}^{2}+p_{T2}^{2}
> $2.5 GeV$^2$ was calculated with the additional cut $x_Bj <0.05$.
This cut selects kinematical region where asymmetry from LP and
QCDC are small (proportional to $A_1^d$) and these processes
contribute only as a dilution to the measured signal.

To remove the contribution from resonances an invariant mass of two
hadrons were required to be higher than $1.5$ GeV.
The obtained asymmetry  for events with $Q^2>$ 1 GeV$^2$ is $A_d/D = -0.015 \pm 0.08 \pm 0.013$, where D is a depolarization factor.
The systematic uncertainty takes into account false asymmetries, the uncertanties  from the measurements of the
target and beam polarizations.

To determine $\Delta G/G$ from the measured asymmetry the LEPTO
generator has been used with the SMC modifications in JETSET quark
fragmentation functions and with radiative corrections included
(RADGEN). The PGF fraction $R_{PGF}=
\frac{\sigma^{PGF}}{\sigma^{tot}}$, has been found to be $0.34\pm
0.07$.

The obtained gluon polarization is ${{\Delta G} /  {G}} = 0.06 \pm
0.31 \pm 0.06$ for  $\eta =0.13\pm 0.08$(rms).

The high $p_T$ sample without  $Q^2$  cut (all $Q^2$) contains roughly 10 times more data than the sample with $Q^2 >$ 1 GeV$^2$.
The preliminary result for asymmetry (2002 data only) gives the value $(A_d/D) = -0.065 \pm 0.036\pm 0.01$.

\section{Summary.}
 In the Fig.~\ref{fig:dg} SMC, COMPASS and
Hermes ~\cite{hermes} results on ${{\Delta G} /  {G}}$ are
presented together with the projected errors from open charm and
high $p_T$ hadron pairs for all $Q^2$ from COMPASS  2002-2004
data. The results for the gluon polarization ${{\Delta G} /  {G}}$
from  SMC and COMPASS analysis (using 2002-2003 data) with $Q^2>$
1 GeV$^2$ are consistent with zero. Based on error projections,
use of all $Q^2$ sample will allow a more precise determination of
the gluon polarization on COMPASS in the near future.

Mason, Charlotte (Charlie), Oliver, Ruby and Kaia are five Kiwi children ranging in age from 6-10 years old, and in A Kiwi Year, they take us on a journey through the 12 months of the year, exploring what life is like as a child in New Zealand.
The book covers celebrations, holidays, landmarks, and even native trees and animals too.
There is also information regarding New Zealand's regions in both the North and South Islands, as well as a detailed map.
The illustrations show all five children participating in various activities at school (including excursions), home, and out and about through cities and towns of New Zealand.
For further info, head here.
In a similar fashion to A Kiwi Year, A Canadian Year features five young children who reside in Canada, and who take us on a journey through a year of life as a Canadian child.
Cloe, Oki, Ava, Liam, and Noah share with us their Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas celebrations, and visit places including the Toronto Zoo, Montreal Insectarium, and Vancouver Aquarium.
What I really like about this hard-covered book, (as well as A Kiwi Year), is the layout.

UMass Memorial Medical Center support staff seek hazard pay, testing
Bill Shaner Daily News staff @bill_shaner
Apr 15, 2020 at 10:43 AM Apr 15, 2020 at 10:43 AM
Amid a growing pandemic, workers at UMass Memorial Medical Center are demanding hazard pay, testing for employees and more protective gear.
United Food and Commercial Workers Union 1445 has for weeks pressed the administration on these three points, and the administration has thus far been unresponsive, according to union representatives. The union represents a variety of different workers in the hospital network, from housekeepers to HVAC technicians to cafeteria workers. The workers represented by the union are on the lower wage end of those employed by the hospital. Union members complain they are facing similar risks as medical workers and deserve extra compensation.
"A lot of these people, the housekeepers, they're making minimum wage and they're going into rooms that are contaminated," said Frank Palermo, supply coordinator and union steward. "The kids driving patients back and forth, it's a wicked risk. They didn't sign up for this. No one signed up for this."

Demands for hazard pay, more supplies and more testing haven't gone far with the administration, said Richard Poole, a union official. Though the union is sympathetic to the challenges the hospital faces, especially in terms of procuring more protective gear amid a national shortage, it only strengthens the argument that hospital workers deserve hazard pay and deserve to be tested.
"What they say is as a hospital worker, you sign up for this. This is what hospital workers do, they treat illnesses, and you can't put a number on a particular illness in the form of hazard pay," Poole said. "But you talk to housekeepers and you'll find that this is not what they signed up for."
Coronavirus: Here's what we know of the latest confirmed cases at local hospitals
Mike Cook, an HVAC technician and union steward, said workers are first and foremost concerned about bringing the virus home to their families. They're putting themselves and their loved ones at a significant risk and at the least deserve extra compensation for that, he said.
"The housekeepers at a hotel aren't going through what a housekeeper is going through here," said Cook. "The hospital takes a lot of people to run and not all of those people are medical professionals. Some of them are making almost minimum wage. I don't think that's fair compensation for exposing themselves to those risks."

In the cafeteria, sentiments are the same. Maria Carbone, union steward for cafeteria workers, said people working in the cafeteria interact with nurses and doctors every day. They're wearing masks and gloves, but cashiers lack screens at registers. Workers there can't afford to lose hours, but she said she feels they deserve more protection and more pay for being there.
"During this period, we do deserve a little extra for being here," said Carbone. "I didn't sign up to be a doctor, but I'm taking the same risks as a doctor. I don't make $40 an hour. I make $15 an hour. We're risking our lives for $15 an hour."
The loneliest road trip: I drove across the country during coronavirus. Here's what I saw.
Recently, state healthcare workers secured hazard pay. On Monday, the state government and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 93 agreed to hazard pay for licensed nurses and caregivers up $10 more an hour until at least May 30.
When asked about the demands being made by the union, Anthony Berry, spokesman for the hospital said that UMass Memorial, like many organizations across the country, is facing "extreme financial challenges." He did not directly address the demand for hazard pay, but said that the hospital is continuing to pay workers whose employment has been impacted by department closings or other suspensions of services. The hospital is paying standard base wages through May 2.

In the email response, Berry did not specifically respond to demands the union has made for more employee testing. On the issue of protective gear, Berry said the hospital has significantly increased the stock to "ensure our caregivers are working as safely as possible when caring for patients." Stock of protective gear has been further bolstered by donations from community members, organizations and businesses.
"We are grateful for this incredible outpouring of support for our caregivers and mission," he said.
Hospital employees are tested for COVID-19 if they experience symptoms. But the union feels all workers should be tested regularly. Palermo said he feels the hospital is afraid to test everyone because it could lead to dramatic staff reductions.
"We all want to be tested. It's that not knowing that's scary for us," he said.

Q: Elastic search nested object alternative I have a Elastic index structure like this below,
"-source":{
    "file_name":"abc.ex",
    "file_format":"ex",
    "created_time":"2016-05-11"
    "mime_type":"xyz",
    "metadata":{
          "meta_id":"11222",
          "description":"xyzz",
          "profile":[
                  {"key_id":"1"
                   "value":2
                   },
                  {"key_id":"2",
                   "value":44
                   }...]
                 }
            }

In profile I should map each key_id to its value.Ex this query  key_id = "1" AND value = 2 should match. For this reason I mapped profile as nested object like below.
{"metadata":{
    "properties":{
      "meta_id":{"type":"string"}...
      "profile":{
               "type":"nested",
               "properties":{
                      "key_id":{"type":"string"},
                      "value":{"type":"string"}
                        }}}

}
Is there any other way instead of making it nested object?Since it treats it as a different document , When i do a simple query string search
{'query': {'bool':{'must':[{'query_string': {'query': u'abc', 'fields': ['metadata.profile.value','metadata.profile.meta-id']}}]}}}
it excludes the nested document(metadata.profile.value), but I want them to be included. And what does this mean "To add, change, or delete a nested document, the whole document must be reindexed" ?.

Looking to up your game in the lighting department? Then it's time to forget about the desk, leave the wall behind, and move on up. Up to the ceiling! The world of pendant lights is a surprisingly expansive one, so we've taken it upon ourselves to round the best ones up, both to buy and DIY.
1. Washing Machine Drum Lamps (contact to order): That title is for real. These lamps are made out of recycled washing machine drums and painted in a variety of candy colors.
10. Foxed Mirror Drum Pendant ($379): The vintage surface of this foxy mirror (sorry, I had to) begs the question: What does the foxed mirror say?
12. PolyGlobe Pendant Light ($263): The faceted texture of this pendant looks almost as if it were computer-generated.
13. Small Polyhedron Pendant ($295): There's something slightly pagan about a collection of this polyhedrons, don't you think?
15. 2X4 Light ($280): It is just what it sounds like. A 2×4 with light bulbs in it. While we aren't wild about the price, we dig the minimal design and just might have to try hacking it ourselves.
16. Apollo (contact to order): This faceted shade has a masculine, industrial look that would add a welcome bit of dissonance to a fluffy white living room.
17. Filament Pendant ($325): Doesn't this sort of look like the outline of a lampshade? Into it.
18. Sage Honeycomb Shade ($64): This has a definite vintage vibe and the frosted sage glass (or plexiglas) would add a nice glow to any space.
19. SHY Light ($11K): Why so shy? Maybe because you're a lamp that costs over ten thousand dollars? Regardless, this piece of light art is a spectacle to behold.
20. FlowerPot Pendant ($370): This quirky flowerpot pendant looks like it's straight out of a Super Nintendo game.
21. PXL Pendant ($1,072): Dear PXL, please send us 10 of these pendants for our office. Love, Brit + Co.
22. Bluff City ($550): A trio of solid design elements are at play here. You've got the electric blue cage, candy apple red drum base, and modern spherical bulb.
23. Riviera Pendants ($129-$199): We love the outlined nature of this collection of pendants, especially paired with those filament lightbulbs.
26. Bell Jar Pendant ($198): Bearing no relation to the Sylvia Plath novel of the same name, the bold jewel tones of this jars look great together.
27. Downtown Minimalist Cord Pendant ($105): Simplicity at its finest. The mint green bulb base makes for an instant design win.
29. Bronze Copper Shade ($685): This beautiful bronze pendant is timeless and iconic, and would look good in just about any home.
31. Polished Nickel Pendant ($129-$149): There's something about this that makes us think of poker night as portrayed by Kinfolk magazine.
32. Rosy Glow Pendant Lamp ($375): We've got it bad for rose gold here at Brit HQ, and this lamp just got added to our wish list.
33. Cloche Punched Pendant Lamp ($40): This vintage style lamp has gorgeous punched out details as well as engraved textures.
34. Rectangular Farmhouse Pendant ($250): If you're going for the rustic industrial look in the dining room, this pendant is for you.
35. Gliese Pendant ($230): I think this might be my favorite light on the list! It's an extra large lightbulb dipped in chrome. So good.
39. Bright Beads Pendant Lights (contact to order): One day, we will figure out an easy way to get beads onto pendant light cords. Until then, we'll swoon over these.
43. Peel Pendant Lamp ($199): The peeled-apart look of this reminds us of a slinky on its side.
46. Urchin Lamp Kit ($130): Currently seeking funding on Kickstarter, this lamp design is based on sea urchins.
48. Acorn Pendant ($420): Now that's a modern interpretation of an acorn if I've ever seen one. Love the idea of whole collection of these in different sizes and colors.
50. Coco Mini Pendant ($1,800): Wait a minute, are those acorns too? On the extremely high end of the price spectrum, this are more like art objects than lights.
51. Woodchuck Pendants (from $750): Love the colors and woodgrain on these pendant lights. Stay tuned for a DIY inspired by these very lamps.
52. Slope Miniforms (contact to order): We'd love to see an entire ceiling filled with these at varying lengths.
53. Capiz Shell Pendant ($800): You've seen a capiz shell pendant before, but about one that is also a spherical grid? So cool.
56. Form Us With Love Pendants ($132 each): This army of pendant lamps is here to send you their love.
57. Barely There Pendant Lamp ($148): By day it's barely there, by night a moody glow.
59. Iron Petals Pendant Lamp ($148-$348): For a more permanent take on floral details, this Anthropologie creation is perfectly boho chic.
60. Encalmo-Stamen Modern Pendant Light ($1,295): Finally, this modern piece is made in the Italian discipline of fusing two separate entities of glass into one single piece. We love the clean design and rich hues.
Do you have pendant lights in your home? Did you make them or buy them? Was it tough to install them? Talk to us in the comments below.

Top 5 Cybersecurity Breaches of All Time
We live in an environment where customer data is constantly at risk. A security incident occurs when intruders compromise data systems and information is at risk. Research on data breaches by Verizon defined an incident as one that "compromises the integrity, confidentiality, or availability" of data
On the scale of cybersecurity threats, a data breach is the most severe and affects reputation, revenue, and customer trust. In the recent Cost of Data Breach Study, the average cost per data breach is $3.62 million and per record is $158. For a small to mid-sized business, the impact can be crippling.
Today we look at five of the worst cybersecurity breaches of all time. There are many ways to rank the largest cybersecurity breaches. We chose to highlight those that affected the most records, triggered the highest dollar impact, was repeated, was an inside job, and the most egregious.
#1 Most Records Affected: Yahoo
Most Records Stolen Goes to Yahoo!
When Yahoo admitted in 2014 that it was hacked the prior year, it didn't come clean on the extent of the breach. In fact, the search engine company was infiltrated more than once. When Verizon dug into the search engine company's records during due-diligence for their acquisition, they uncovered more than Yahoo cared to admit.
Cost: At a minimum, Yahoo lost $350 million as that's how much Verizon dropped its purchase price and more will come in settlements of the many lawsuits over this breach.
Estimated records stolen: The first report stated 500 million accounts were affected, but further investigation found the breach impacted every existing Yahoo account.
Impact: Yahoo lost customers, traffic, and ad revenue plus the lower sales price. Many long-time users walked away from the search engine and email provider for good.
Methodology: The most successful of the two breaches began with a spear phishing email sent to one employee.
Length of access: The Russian hackers that orchestrated the breach installed a back door and ransacked email accounts and user data for months.
Motive: The DOJ charged four Russian spies and criminal hackers. The spies' motive was to infiltrate and destabilize American financial firms while the hackers wanted cash.
Compliance: Yahoo violated state and federal data breach notification laws by delaying notification and now faces multiple class-action lawsuits.
#2 Greatest Financial Impact: Epsilon
Greatest Financial Impact goes to Epsilon
To date, the costliest cybersecurity breach occurred at a company that's not a household name. Epsilon is an international email marketing company hit by a database hack back in 2011. Epsilon managed email campaigns to customers of Capital One, Barclays, and Citigroup, among others, and its breach was projected to enable innumerable successful phishing scams.
Cost: Epsilon itself paid an estimated $225 million in costs and its 75 affected clients paid around $410 million. When you include forensic audits, monitoring, litigation and lost business, the estimated total damage was $3-$4 billion.
Estimated records stolen: The breach compromised about 250 million records among 75 of Epsilon's 2,500 clients.
Impact: Epsilon lost an estimated $45 million worth of business as clients walked away in droves. The breach was so severe that the Secret Service got involved.
Methodology: The details were not made public, but experts estimate that a single point of intrusion allowed the hackers to hijack the email system.
Length of access: Again, details are murky, but Epsilon detected the breach rapidly and shut it down quickly, limiting what could have been a much worse breach.
Motive: There were indictments against two Vietnamese and one Canadian national in the breach motivated by profit. The hackers raked in an estimated $2 million via spam emails.
Compliance: Epsilon was warned about the increased potential for hacks and tightened security, so the breach was discovered quickly such that only 3% of their client base was affected. They also met regulatory compliance for notification.
#3 Most Repeated Breaches: Yahoo
Repeat Offender Goes to Yahoo!
Yahoo makes the top cybersecurity breaches list twice because it was hit multiple times to the extent that the breaches compromised every one of its three billion customer email accounts. That represents a stunning 100% failure. Also troubling is that Yahoo's delayed notification put customers at ongoing risk.
There were at least two separate breaches, in August 2013 and another in late 2014. Yahoo delayed notification of the latter breach until 2016 when it became public knowledge that customer data was for sale on the dark web. In a 2016 SEC filing, the search engine giant claimed it had no knowledge about a breach or loss of data but then revised its filing and owned up to the hack.
#4 Biggest Inside Job: Court Ventures
Biggest Insider Job Goes to Court Ventures, Now Owned by Experian
It's upsetting when criminals creep into a company and steal data through a back door. However, when they walk right through the front door and buy sensitive data, it's nothing short of unsettling. Such is the case with Court Ventures, now owned by Experian, which sold personal data to a criminal that ran an identity theft business. All it took was a credible lie and some cash.
Cost: The total cost of the Court Ventures breach is unknown. What is known is that almost 14,000 consumers fell victim to income tax fraud totaling more than $65 million.
Estimated records stolen: Roughly 200 million consumer data records were sold and accessed, but Experian insisted there was no compromise of its data files.
Impact: Experian and Court Ventures countersued one another over the fraud. Consumers filed a class action suit against Experian as the new owner of Court Ventures over violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Methodology: Hieu Minh Ngo posed as a private investigator and purchased access to sensitive data including Social Security numbers which he sold to 1,300 perpetrators of identity theft.
Length of access: Ngo bought information from US Info Search via Court Ventures for more than a year including a 10-month period after Experian acquired Court Services.
Motive: The perpetrator's motive was purely profit-based.
Compliance: Neither Court Ventures nor Experian discovered the breach. The Secret Service notified Experian who then shut down access and cooperated with law enforcement. Because this was a front-door attack, the issue at hand was lack of due diligence in screening clients to whom Court Ventures sold data.
#5 Most Egregious: OPM
Most Egregious Goes to OPM
The breach at the Office of Personnel Management made this list because it so brazenly targeted the US government. The cleverly buried malware was discovered during routine decryption of SSL traffic to verify data integrity. The highly coordinated and heavily-funded breach began with a hack at a government contractor where credentials were stolen to facilitate the attack on OPM.
Cost: So far, the costs resulted from forensic audit services along with detection and destruction of the malware. The court dismissed a class action suit filed on behalf of federal employees because the plaintiffs failed to prove legally actionable harm.
Estimated records stolen: A team worked round the clock to ferret out and destroy the malware that nested on 10 machines including an admin server. Hackers had access to millions of background checks, employee files, and even digital fingerprint archives.
Impact: What's frightening about this breach is that investigators don't know where the data went or who has it now. Agency head Katherine Archuleta resigned, as did OPM's CIO.
Methodology: Hackers used a faux McAfee security file to shuttle data to a site owned by "Steve Rogers." A secretive hacker group that orchestrated many devastating cyber attacks often uses Avenger's names, but the specific perpetrators are unknown.
Length of access: By the time OPM's cybersecurity found the back door, it had been open for almost a year.
Motive: This attack was labeled an advanced persistent threat (APT) meaning it was likely state-sponsored and aimed at economic, military, or political objectives and Chinese in origin.
Compliance: OPM repels roughly 10 million attempted hacks each month yet its Assistant Inspector General for Audits told Congress there's a "long history of systemic failures" of managing IT infrastructure.
Preparing for a cyber attack is critical because it's not a matter of if a company will be attacked, but when. It's often more than 200 days between malware infection and discovery of the intrusion. These are some of the biggest hacks of all time, but even a minor cybersecurity breach can devastate a business' reputation and future. If you're not prepared with a cybersecurity incident response plan, you're at risk.

52 Baby Names That Mean Luck, Destiny, Or Fortune For Boys And Girls
Bhavana Navuluri Written by Bhavana Navuluri (Journalist, parenting expert, mother)
Parents only hope for good fortune and good luck for their children. Agree? Luck is the realm of randomness and chance. It's the explanation we give to the good and bad things that happen by chance or an attribution we use to describe random events. So, how about picking a name inspired by luck for your little one?
While Lucky is one of most straightforward names, we have several others too! MomJunction has compiled an extensive list of baby names meaning luck, destiny, and fortune. Take a look!
Baby Girl Names That Mean Luck, Destiny Or Fortune:
1. Bedisa:
Bedisa is derived from the Georgian word 'bedi', which means 'fate or destiny'. This gentle and distinctive name, heard widely in several cultures, falls into the category of names that are too popular and too unusual at the same time. Naming the daughters Bedisa is a lovely way for mommies and daddies to place their hopes and dreams for their children.
2. Dalia:
In Lithuanian language, Dalia is the name of the goddess of fate, childbirth, and weaving, and her name means 'fate or luck'. Goddess Dalia's primary concern was material wealth and its proper distribution. She had the power to take and give the properties and material goods as deemed fit. The name was further popularized by the Spanish character Dalia played by Mexican actress Yolanda Andrade. And it's an excellent alternative to Dahlia as well.

3. Destiny:
The straightforward vocabulary name Destiny, meaning 'fate or luck', comes from the Latin word 'destinare' meaning 'to determine'. This is a derivative of 'stare', which means 'to stand'. The moniker has been used as a given name for girls since the 20th century. In fact, in 2010, Destiny was the 9th most popular name in the African-American community, along with Alyssa.
4. Evangeline:
Evangeline, meaning 'bearer of good news', is also a way of saying luck. This fanciful derivation of the Latin word 'evangelium' has had its own streak of luck in the recent years. The name came into life via American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in his poem "Evangeline, A Tale of Acadie". But it fell out of favor in the 20th century and stayed in hibernation for 40 years. But the name returned triumphantly in 2006, when actress Evangeline Lilly came into the spotlight.
5. Fausta:
Fausta, meaning 'fortunate', until now heard in the Italian and Hispanic communities, has begun to make an impact in America as well. The name has been slipping down the charts, probably because of its putting off association and even increased competition with other 'a' ending names, but there's no denying that as a name Fausta is fanciful, exotic, and original.
6. Faustina:
Faustina, meaning 'good luck', is one of the most uncommon names we've heard in the recent times. A name with old roots, Faustina was initially given to boys who enjoyed favorable conditions in their lives, simply put, someone who has been lucky. The trend of using Faustina for girls began from the Latin speaking countries.
7. Fayola:
If you're looking for a name with style and history and is non-existent in the US? Then look no further than Fayola, an African-Yoruba name, meaning 'lucky or good fortune'. The favorable etymology of this name has given it over 2000 years of usage.
8. Felice:
Pronounced as 'fa-Leech-ay', sounds appealing even after years of usage. Felice is one of the Italian names meaning lucky. It's a name with several interests; it's literary, poetic, and utterly pretty. The moniker is so beautiful that we can't help but picture a beautiful woman in it. But the best part is that Felice is exotic underused and unpretentious.
9. Felicia:
Felicia, an accessible, lacy, and delicate virtue name, hugely popular in the Hispanic community, would spread cheer and warmth in your daughter's life. The name has been climbing the popularity charts for a few decades, but got further notice via Felicia Day, the American actress. It also has a badass touch, considering it's the real name of Black Cat, a famous Marvel Comics character.
10. Felicity:
Felicity, meaning 'good fortune', reached the peak of its popularity in 1999 when it featured in a television show. Yes, it was used before that as well, but not with enough frequency to feature in the top 1000 list. The name is still underused, considering it is positioned #666 in the Social Security Administration list.

11. Fortunata:
Fortunata, meaning 'fortune or luck', is a name brimming with good vibes. It's sure to make the wearer feel good. There are a couple of real and pop cultural bearers of this name, for instance, St. Fortunata, the 4th-century martyr, and Maria Fortunata Viti, the beatified Italian nun. It's also the name of Trimalchio's wife in the 1st-century novel, "The Satyricon".
12. Fortune:
Not every parent is drawn to vocabulary name, but there's certainly a market for them as fun and whimsical ways to name a child. So this contemporary sounding word name, based on the goddess of good luck and fertility, is best used in the middle spot.
13. Halona:
Halona is an unusual and resonant baby name, meaning 'happy fortune'. It is still unclear what spurred the sudden usage of Halona. We guess it has something to do with the trend favoring Native American names. Its namesake is Halona King, the American Indie singer. Lona would be a chic nickname for Halona.
14. Kiaria:
Kiara, a Japanese name meaning 'fortunate', sounds exquisite, but can be confused with Kiara or Kiera. Also, it has the beautiful three-syllable sound, which we cannot get enough of.
15. Lakshmi:
Lakshmi is the Hindu goddess of beauty, charm, grace, and prosperity. No wonder her name means 'lucky omen'. Lakshmi, as a moniker is an embodiment of charm and grace and would suit well on girl of any ethnicity, not just Indian. It's simple, crisp, fancy, but not overstated.
16. Machiko:
If you want a cross-cultural name for your daughter, pick, Machiko, which means 'fortunate child'. With such a beautiful meaning, we don't think any parent would decline this name. And it's clearly not in danger of being overused anytime soon. So Machiko might be the one if you like original, yet traditional names.

17. Moira:
Moira, the anglicized form of Maire coincides with Greek word Moira, which means 'fate or destiny'. It's the name of one of the three female personifications of destiny in the Greek Mythology. Older generation might remember this name as the beautiful red-haired ballerina Moira Shearer in the film "The Red Shoes".
18. Ottilie:
Ottilie, meaning 'fortunate in battle', is an elegant name heard mostly amongst upper crust British family. Even though the name has German roots, Ottilie looks and feels French, primarily because of its delicate sound. This unique name also has several references. It's the name of a principal character in "Elective Affinities". It's also the name of the protagonist in John Wyndham's "Random Quest". Tillie and Lottie would make funky nicknames for Ottilie.
19. Phylicia:
Phylicia, the updated version of Felicia, meaning 'luck', is a multifaceted name choice. It's interesting, off-beat, magical, and has an international appeal. It's a shame that Phylicia is ignored by a large number of parents today. Besides, it's hard to know where this name will go from here as it hasn't been around long enough for the experts to determine its staying power. Its famous bearer is Phylicia Allen Rashad, the American actress.
20. Sadiya:
Sadiya, meaning 'lucky or fortunate', is one of the eminently used Arabic names in Muslim countries. It hasn't reached the top 100 American baby name list, probably because the ending 'iya' is becoming too trendy and overused. But we think Sadiya is cute, unpretentious, simple, and energetic. It has undeniable sassy appeal as well.

21. Serendipity:
The word Serendipity, meaning 'luck or chance', was coined by Horace Walpole in his fairytale, "The Three Princes Of Serendip". There's even a character named Serendipity in "Finding Serendipity". The name did descend the charts at the turn of last century, but the charmer that it is, it never really went completely out of style. Serendipity sounds stylish, and demands not to be shortened, but if you want, you can shorten it to Serene.
22. Seven:
Seven is considered one of the luckiest numbers. Hinduism talks of seven powers, the Jewish religion has seven blessings, Islam has seven heavens, and Christianity has seven churches. David Beckham and Erykah Badu picked this name for their children. Seven is also the middle name of the son of Blackhawks hockey player, Brent Seabrook. You can say Seven is in its full swing right now!
23. Shreya:
Shreya sounds happy and cheerful, without the unicorns and rainbows. This favorite Indian name has several positive meanings, one of them being 'fortunate'. And it's also tied to Goddess Lakshmi. This name was on the Social Security Administration popularity list for the years 2002 to 2005, probably because of the rise of Indian singer Shreya Ghoshal.

24. Syntyche:
Syntyche is an ancient Greek name, meaning 'fate or fortunate' mentioned in Paul's epistle in the New Testament. Syntyche, along with Euodia, was a female member of the Philippi church. She and Euodia had a quarrel or difference of opinion and were besought separately by Paul. Syntyche is one of the least used and distinctive Biblical names, making it a perfect option for parents looking for a unique name for their daughter.
25. Taaliyah:
While Taaliyah (with a double a) in Hebrew means 'gentle dew of heaven', in Arabic it means 'fortunate' or 'lucky'. Both ways, the name sounds positive and beautiful. It's different, exotic and isn't overused. We give it a thumbs up!
26. Urd:
In the Norse mythology, Urd was the name of one of the three Norns, or the goddesses of destiny. Urd, along with the other two Norns, decides the fate of the people. They spin the threads of life, make marks in the pole figures and then measure a person's destiny. We love this name for its hippie-like, counterculture flavor. The name Urd means 'fate'.
27. Ventura:
Ventura began as a short form for Bonaventura, but now stands on its own. This stylish 'V' ending and pleasant sound make it even more beautiful. It's also associated with the Ventura Boulevard, the thoroughfare in San Fernando Valley. Others can tie it with Jesse Ventura, the American wrestler. Ventura means 'good fortune'.
28. Yuki:
Hailing from thousands and thousands of miles away, this appealing Japanese name, with a nickname like feel, means 'snow' in one dialect and 'lucky' in the other. No wonder it's hugely popular amongst the Japanese population in America. The beauty of this name is so hard to ignore that even Americans have started bestowing this name on their children.
29. Zaida:
Zaida, an Arabic name pronounced as 'zah-EE-Dah', is an exotic and attractive option for the child of any religion or background. You can witness its popularity, especially in Syria. It means 'prosperous or fortunate'.

Baby Boy Names That Mean Luck, Destiny, And Fortune:
30. Asher:
The ever popular name Asher, meaning 'fortunate', has climbed more than a hundred places in the last few years. The name dates back to 1880 when the government began keeping track of the names. The moniker was used sporadically until the 1990s and disappeared soon after. It returned in 1992 and continues to rule the charts.
31. Behrooz:
Behrooz is a completely out of the box Persian name, meaning 'good fortune'. With such a pleasant and positive meaning, your child is sure to have a hearty fortune. The only catch is that this name hasn't been around for quite a long time now. So we have to wait and watch if its usage improves over time.
32. Bonaventure:
This Latin name, meaning 'good fortune' is diminishing in popularity but still, holds strong in some English speaking countries. Bonaventure has a lovely, four syllable resonance, which is both friendly and bright. It also has a positive and strong quality, which makes it more macho sounding. Its popular bearer is Bonaventure Kalou, the Ivorian footballer. For the nickname, you can pick good ol' Bonnie.
33. Boniface:
Boniface, the variation of Latin name Bonifatius, meaning 'fortunate or of good fate', is an uptight and a bit stuffy name for kids of today's generation. But there's nothing wrong with going out of the box sometimes. There are a number of popes with the name Boniface as well, including the 8th-century Anglo-Saxon missionary, who's regarded as the patron saint of Germany. So it's an excellent pick if you want something traditional and spiritual for your son.
34. Edmund:
Edmund, meaning 'fortune protector', is one of the oldest Anglo-Saxon names today. The sophisticated name has some really famous bearers such as Edmund Spenser, Edmund Hillary, and more. It also has significant historical value as it was borne by two kings. The name Edmund was a moderately favorite name in the US and maintained the top 200 position from late 19th century to 1930s.
[ Read: Baby Names That Mean Wise ]
35. Faust:
While we love the name Faust, it's association with the character who sold his soul to the devil could be off-putting for some parents. Faust means fortunate.
36. Fausto:
Fausto, the Latin version of Faust, is more widely heard than the original, regardless of the negative reference. The 'o' ending gives a poetic quality to this name. And it has a timeless appeal as well. Fausto means 'fortunate one'.
37. Felix:
Felix is an upbeat and energetic name, meaning 'fortunate or happy'. It was used largely as a Latin cognomen for its favorable omen. Besides, it has also been borne by dozens of Christian popes, saints, and antipopes. Felix appears in literature as a central character in the novel "Felix Holt'. Currently, Felix ranks highest in Austria and Germany, where it's one of the top 15.
38. Fortunato:
If you want your child to feel how fortunate he is, give him the Spanish name Fortunato, which means 'fortune'. We think most parents have forgotten this name, but when reminded, we don't believe that it's hard to embrace.
39. Kader:
Kader, meaning 'fate' or 'destiny', in the Turkish language, isn't just limited to as the name for religious people. It's for all the spiritually inclined people. This classic name reflects on one of the 99 attributes of Allah. This handsome name is also Anglicized as Qadir.
40. Karma:
The name Karma comes from the Sanskrit word 'karm', which means 'action, fate, or deed'. It's essentially a Hindu or Buddhist philosophy, which explains that the actions of this lifetime will be carried forward to the next life. In other words, ''we reap what we sow". Karma is a pretty strong name, as it deals with the concept of correct and positive ideals, which only can keep the universe in its perfect order. And it's popular in Australia and North America too.
41. Kismet:
Kismet, the Turkish name, meaning 'fate', is derived from an Arabic word, which means the same. The name has fallen off the radar and isn't much used now as it's considered a bit outdated and by today's standards.

42. Lucky:
Lucky is good enough for Cedric the Entertainer's daughter, and you can consider it for your son too. There are plenty of bearers of this name, including Lucky Blue Smith, the American male model, and Lucky Ali, the Indian singer. We'd definitely put this name in the 'cool' category.
43. Madoc:
Madoc, also spelled as Madog, is a Welsh name, meaning 'fortunate'. Its namesake is none other than Madog ap Owain Gwynedd, who is acclaimed to be the first European to discover North America way back in 1155. You can also opt for Maddox, a more familiar and stronger variation.
44. Merrit:
This unisex Latin name, meaning 'deserving of fortune' is evenly divided between both the sexes, but sounds manly to the ears. This well-established Scottish and Irish name never really appealed to the American ears, which is quite unfair for the beauty it is. Merritt is also the name of a town in British Columbia.
45. Parvaiz:
Parvaiz is a name with an ancient and understated appeal. An original in the truest sense. This Persian name, meaning 'lucky or happy', is sure to stand out in the European or American classroom.
46. Prosper:
Prosper, meaning 'lucky', is a relatively common name in France, where it's pronounced as 'PRO-spare'. The name was borne by several saints as well, including the noted 5th-century theologian, St. Prosper of Aquitaine, a favorite of the English Puritans. Prosper has featured in several notable literary works as well. It's the name of the protagonists of two books, The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke and The Shining Company by Rosemary Sutcliff. It also has associations with P. Merimee, the writer of the novel "Carmen".
47. Sa'Id:
Sa'Id is a popular Arabic name, with an upbeat meaning. There are several popular bearers of this name, including Sa'id Ibn Jubayr, the Iraqi Medieval Islamic scholar.
48. Saad:
Saad is a traditional and fairly popular name in the Arabic and Asian worlds and means 'fortunate'. While the name is undoubtedly beautiful, we don't expect it to become outrageously popular since it's restricted to a particular community or people.
49. Sadah:
Sadah, meaning 'fortunate', is full of Arabic punk and sass. It's exactly what we call a hidden gem. The name has a unique sound, easy spelling, and is symbolic of what we hold dear 'luck and fortune'. Sadah has also been soaring in popularity over the last few decades.
50. Veasna:
Dating back to centuries, Veasna is a classic name in our list. And if its past endurance and staying power are any indicators, we can expect Veasna to return triumphantly to the radar anytime in the near future. In Khmer language, Veasna means 'opportunity or good fortune'.
[ Read: Funky Baby Names ]
51. Venturi:
Venturi is basically a surname, and is consistently used as a first name too, but only in moderation, which makes it an original pick today. As a name, we think Venturi is offbeat, cute, and a little funky. Venturi means 'fortune'.
52. Venturo:
Venturo, the fancier version of the name Venturi, is loaded with Spanish style and zest. Meaning 'fortunate', Venturo sounds strong, energetic, and friendly. It's just a matter of time non-Hispanic parents take hold of it.

BIG BOW (1833–?). Big Bow (Zepko-ette or Za-ko-yea), Kiowa chief, was born in 1833 on Elk Creek, Indian Territory. He was descended from a line of prominent war chiefs and inherited his name from his father and grandfather. From his father he learned at an early age to be a warrior, and by the time he was eighteen he had been on two raids into Mexico. In 1851 Big Bow was made a war chief but lost popularity that winter after eloping with the wife of another warrior. What was more, he offended many Kiowas with his scornful attitude toward the tribal religion. He was especially skeptical of medicine men, particularly the prognostications uttered by Maman-ti through his inflatable "medicine owl." Often Big Bow asserted that his own strength and courage, not the aid of a bird, would ensure him success in war. Consequently, he frequently went on raids either solo or accompanied only by one or two others. On a foray into New Mexico in 1855, he almost single-handedly captured several ponies and took a Navajo scalp. The following spring, after other tribal leaders expressed doubt about his boasts, he took another chief, Stumbling Bear, back with him to the scenes of his escapades in New Mexico. He frequently rode with the Quahadi band of Comanches on the Llano Estacado and became familiar with the areas between the Pecos River and the Rio Grande.
Big Bow's high rank was indicated by the fact that his leggings were fringed with human hair. He took part in raids into Texas and New Mexico during the 1860s and led one against the Utes in southern Colorado in the summer of 1869. Although he reportedly was an accomplice at the Salt Valley attack on May 17, 1871, he evaded arrest at Fort Sill. With his friend and fellow chief White Horse he staged the attack on the government wagon train at Howard's Wells on April 20, 1872, and the attack on Abel Lee and his family near Fort Griffin on June 9. Thomas Battey, a Quaker missionary, later recalled Big Bow's "treacherous and ferocious countenance." At the outbreak of the Red River War in June 1874, Big Bow attempted to talk the Kiowa war faction, led by Lone Wolf and Maman-ti, into staying holed up in the canyons along Elk Creek. But when Maman-ti's "medicine" predicted complete safety for the group in Palo Duro Canyon, they voted to go there. Big Bow thus participated in the siege of Lyman's wagon train on September 9–14 and fought a brief battle with Col. Ranald S. Mackenzie's Fourth Cavalry at Palo Duro on September 27.
Sometime before Mackenzie's attack, Big Bow had disappeared briefly into the Llano Estacado, accompanied by Maman-ti's adopted son, the white captive Tehan. He then reappeared with Black Horse's band of Quahadis after killing and scalping a cavalry soldier. When defeat was inevitable, Big Bow was among the first of the Kiowa leaders to surrender in February 1875. It was reported that just before coming to the agency he killed Tehan because he was part white, but Big Bow and his family declared that Tehan had died of thirst on the plains. Big Bow readily submitted to the federal authorities and through the influence of Kicking Bird was enlisted as a scout to help bring in other bands. His cooperation kept him from going to prison in Florida with other Kiowa chiefs.
He subsequently emerged as a leader in his tribe's difficult adjustment to reservation life. On occasion he made friendly visits to the Utes and Pueblos in New Mexico. He and his braves often bargained with white traders and ranchers, including James A. Whittenburg, whose son George he once tried to adopt for a price of seventy-five horses. In 1886, with agent Jessie Lee Hall's permission, Big Bow led three Kiowas west to recover horses stolen by rustlers. He and a companion named Pay-kee overtook the thieves, killed one of them, and successfully recovered the stock, even though they had only a few rounds of ammunition with them. With his family Big Bow settled in the Rainy Mountain community and during his later years was converted to Christianity. One of his sons, Dom-ai-te, was noted in the tribe as a horse racer. The date and place of Big Bow's death are unknown. Several of his descendants still resided in the Anadarko area in the late twentieth century.

Recently released Q2 results for nation-wide credit union performance show that credit unions are continuing to experience reduced fee income, due to less activity in mortgage refinancing and the slowdown of first mortgage lending.
The hard numbers reveal that mortgage lending volume may decline 40 percent in 2014, and YTD first mortgage originations shrank from $31.2 billion this time last year to $17.5 billion this year (Source: Mortgage Bankers Association). While we are seeing some bright areas and improvement in mortgage – such as increased market share in first mortgage, and delinquency and net charge-off rates at their lowest since Q1 2008 – credit unions are still seeing lower performance.
With these changing trends in the mortgage market, one step toward recovery is to pick up income in other areas. While credit unions can take a traditional approach, such as offering a new product or more extensively marketing the ones they have, another option is to look to outside sources for assistance in identifying ways to reduce expenses and generate revenue.
Whether the problem stems from losses due to reduced mortgage income or increased compliance costs, firms that specialize in bottom-line improvement can identify places to create additional funds for a credit union. Two credit unions that have increased income have looked to Strategic Resource Management (SRM), an independent consulting firm that assists its clients with maximizing financial performance. After working with SRM, both credit unions saw significant returns in areas related to card processing.
One of those credit unions is TwinStar Credit Union, based in Olympia, Wash. It serves more than 100,000 members in the Pacific Northwest and has particular business focuses on developing collaboration strategies with other credit unions and reducing cost through volume purchasing.
After SRM completed its project with TwinStar, the credit union experienced a seven-basis point boost to its return on assets for the fiscal year, with potentially more savings still to come. Through the examination of internal company processes and experience-driven, data-based vendor-contract negotiations, SRM makes this impact by utilizing its industry benchmark database and expertise in negotiation and process management.
Initially, because TwinStar has a strong vendor-management due diligence process, the company did not think consulting with a bottom-line enhancement firm would be an area of opportunity.
Daukas said they discussed which contracts TwinStar would like reviewed. He realized the credit union had quite a few large agreements that may have been using an outdated price point, when current market trends were taken into account. One area SRM identified for revenue enhancement was card processing and related activities.
Daukas said that SRM is more credit union-focused than its competitors and that SRM understood TwinStar's needs and the nuances to its industry. SRM President Brad Downs agrees that there are opportunities specific to credit unions where SRM can help identify opportunities.
Teachers Credit Union, the largest credit union in Indiana, also experienced additional revenue through working with one of these consulting firms. In addition to traditional financial services, the credit union also offers services such as travel, real estate and insurance.
Todd Brown, Chief Financial Officer of Teachers Credit Union, began using SRM's services almost five years ago.
After examining card processing, SRM looked at other vendor relationships, including telephone expenses and ATM processing. SRM President Brad Downs said SRM may also explore contracts in areas such as armored car service, ATM, Internet banking, bill pay and telecommunications.
Brown said an important part of the process for his credit union is that SRM provided them with options, rather than pressuring them to make a decision to stick with or change a vendor. Brown said the decisions he made as a result of SRM's review led to significantly increased income.
There is no risk to the credit union when it is considering hiring an expert that specializes in improving financial performance. The credit union does not have to budget for the firm's work, and there is no out-of-pocket expense. That's because all fees are derived from savings to the client.
When a company is considering working with a firm, sales representatives will meet with credit union decision makers, who are, typically, C-suite executives. The representative may discuss initial vendor areas it would like to explore and assess and present the areas where it can make the largest impact. The range of expectations for the savings or revenue enhancement dollar amount will typically depend on the size of the credit union.
If the credit union would like to move forward with negotiations, it decides which vendor categories it would like reviewed. Information will be collected by the firm, along with a presentation of estimated savings or opportunities for revenue enhancement.
Because SRM is an independent firm, it objectively presents empirical results and explains the facts and figures to the credit union.
If the credit union wants to move forward with the opportunities presented, the firm will implement its findings with the vendors. The majority of the time, the credit union will stay with its existing vendor, but with a better, optimized contract. SRM will then track the savings with the vendor and present a report to the client. After the client agrees to work with SRM, the vendor exploration and savings-implementation processes will take an average of 90 days to deliver savings or revenue enhancement.
So when a historically reliable source of fee income, like mortgage re-financing, begins to decrease due to changes in the market, credit unions can turn to other areas of their balance sheets to generate a positive impact. By diving into areas of potential revenue or decreased expenses, credit unions can make up for lost fee income by taking a close look at and enhancing vendor contacts. Firms like SRM are some of the best resources for identifying these opportunities.

Kraj Celinny (; ) – dawny kraj, historyczna jednostka najwyższego rzędu w Kazachskiej Socjalistycznej Republice Radzieckiej, funkcjonująca w latach 1960–1965.

Kraj Celinny utworzono 26 grudnia 1960 w ramach radzieckiej kampanii zagospodarowania nieużytków, tak zwanej celiny (stepowych ugorów).

W jego skład weszły obwody: kokczetawski, kustanajski, pawłodarski i północnokazachstański. Obwód akmoliński wstępnie zniesiono i poddano bezpośrednio administracji centralnej, lecz przywrócono go już 24 kwietnia 1961 pod nazwą obwód celinogradzki, z siedzibą w Celinogradzie (do 20 marca 1961 jako Akmolińsk). Tam też ustanowiono siedzibę Kraju Celinnego. Innymi większymi miastami były: Kokczetaw, Kustanaj, Pawłodar i Petropawłowsk.

W rok po odwołaniu Nikity Chruszczowa, 19 października 1965, Kraj Celinny rozwiązano.

The W2 Form Should a Minister Receive a W2?
The vast majority of ministers are actually employees of the church.
For many years the I.R.S. has considered most ministers to be employees of the church. None of the new tax laws have changed I.R.S.' intent to have ministers treated as employees of the church.
A properly structured compensation package and accountable expense reimbursement plan will reduce income and Social Security taxes to the legal minimum.
Withholding of taxes (ministers filing as employees) is still on a VOLUNTARY basis. If the church and the minister both want to do it, income taxes can be withheld. The law PERMITS but does NOT REQUIRE withholding for ministers.
FICA and MEDICARE taxes should NOT be withheld from a minister's paycheck.
