Brain Injury Claims: Spotlight on Anoxic Brain Injuries
By ChurchillCentral
An anoxic brain injury, also known as anoxia, hypoxic-anoxic injury, HAI, or cerebral hypoxia, happens when the brain doesn't receive sufficient oxygen to function properly. Brain cells could start to die if the oxygen levels are reduced for more than four minutes. Anoxia could result in permanent, severe, disabilities, cognitive issues, as well as life-threatening injury. Basically, the longer the brain is deprived of oxygen, the greater the chances of a more severe brain injury. Common warning signs of anoxia include lack of coordination, cognitive decline, and loss of consciousness.
What Usually Causes Anoxia?
Anoxic brain injuries are sometimes categorized as traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) or intracranial injuries even if they might not technically involve any kind of contact or physical trauma. While many different things could cause anoxia, essentially, any condition or factor that could result oxygen deprivation to the brain could cause anoxia. Prominent brain injury lawyers from firms in Los Angeles would often advise clients to consider filing for injury claims, in cases like accidents or medical malpractice.
Anoxia is often a result of the brain being cut off of oxygen, but these other causes could likewise lead to anoxic brain injuries:
A stroke
Using illegal drugs
Respiratory arrest
Suffocation or drowning
Accidents related to fire
Conditions that are induced chemically
Toxic conditions including gas leaks
Determining Liability for Anoxic Brain Injuries
More often than not, anoxic brain injuries could result in legal claims or lawsuits. In such cases, the plaintiff or injured party would be awarded damages to recompense them for their losses. In general, liability for anoxic brain injuries could be based on different legal concepts, which include the following:
Medical Malpractice – This could occur when a medical professional neglects his or her duty of care to the patient, leading to calculable damages for the patient. In this instance, the liable party is typically the medical professional.
Intentional Tort – This could happen when the liable party deliberately causes the injured person's anoxia. This could lead to significant damage awards and severe criminal punishments.
Negligence – This could happen when the defendant breaches his or her duty of care to the injured party, which in turn directly results in quantifiable damages.
Product Liability – This could occur when the injured party sustained injuries that led anoxic brain injury due to the use of a defective product. In general, defective product claims could be classified into design defects, manufacturing defects, as well as warning label defects. Determining liability however could be complicated since potentially liable parties could include the manufacturer, retailer, or distributor of the defective product.
Anoxic brain injuries could be immensely severe conditions that in some cases could even lead to death. Different parties could be held responsible for an injury so determining fault and liability could be a challenging task. In addition, state laws on brain injury liability and damage awards significantly differ from one state to another. With that said, you need to work with an experienced attorney that has ample experience in brain injury cases to help you figure out who's really liable for the brain injury and how much damages would suffice to compensate for your losses.

HomeNewsBiden says US 'embarrassed' EU into sanctioning Russia over Ukraine
Biden says US 'embarrassed' EU into sanctioning Russia over Ukraine
October 6, 2014 Niamh Harris News, US 1
America's leadership had to embarrass Europe to impose economic hits on Russia over the crisis in Ukraine – even though the EU was opposed to such a motion, US Vice President Joe Biden revealed during a speech at Harvard.
"We've given Putin a simple choice: Respect Ukraine's sovereignty or face increasing consequences," Biden told a gathering at the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum at Harvard University's Institute of Politics on Thursday.
The consequences were the sanctions which the EU imposed on Russia, first targeting individual politicians and businessmen deemed responsible for the crisis in Ukraine, then switching to the energy, defense, and economic sectors.
"It is true they did not want to do that," Biden admitted.
"It was America's leadership and the president of the United States insisting, oft times almost having to embarrass Europe to stand up and take economic hits to impose costs," the US vice president declared
Those costs deemed behind the ruble's historic plunge not only forced America's ExxonMobil to retreat from Russia's Arctic shelf, but also provoked counter-measures from Moscow, which suspended certain food imports from the EU.
Russia's counter-sanctions have hit many of the EU's agricultural states. EU members, particularly those close to Russia, were the most affected by the loss of the Russian market.
For instance, the Netherlands – the world's second-largest exporter of agricultural products – is set to lose 300 million euro annually from canceled business with Russia, as it accounts for roughly 10 percent of Dutch exports of vegetables, fruit, and meat.
At the same time, Poland was hit hard by the Kremlin's sanctions, as its food exports to Russia totaled $1.5 billion in 2013.
Spain, a large exporter of oranges to Russia, is estimated to miss out on 337 million euro ($421 million) in food and agriculture sales, while Italy has estimated its losses at nearly 1 billion euro ($1.2 billion).
Following pressure from local farmers, a 125 million euro EU Commission Common Agricultural Policy fund was established, from which the growers are expected to get some cash, while Amsterdam is willing to cover the cost of transporting excess produce to eight food banks across Holland.
Overall, Moscow's one-year food embargo against the EU, the US, Norway, Australia, and Canada will block an estimated $9 billion worth of agricultural exports to Russia.
With European countries now at a loss with apple and dairy surplus, it is not exactly clear whether EU producers will be able to return to the Russian markets after the one-year ban expires.
However, this is no secret to the US, as Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland remarked on Thursday.
"Implementing sanctions isn't easy and many countries are paying a steep price. We know that. But history shows that the cost of inaction and disunity in the face of a determined aggressor will be higher," Nuland said.
Nuland's reference to necessary action against the "aggressor" might be taken with a grain of salt by the Europeans, as the "F**k the EU" leak is still fresh in their memory.
The four-minute video – titled 'Maidan puppets,' referring to Independence Square in Ukraine's capital – was uploaded by an anonymous user to YouTube.
Nuland was recorded as saying the notoriously known phrase during a phone call with US Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt, as the two were seemingly discussing a US-preferred line-up of the Ukrainian government. It apparently referred to Washington's policy differences with those of the EU on ways of handling the Ukrainian political crisis, with Nuland suggesting to "glue this thing" with the help of the UN and ignore Brussels.
The US State Department did not deny the authenticity of the video and stressed that Nuland had apologized for the "reported comments."

We really do love each other.
On gaining assurance of one's belonging when given a short distance of separation - separation, from the very place that one is most loved, and known, and free.
On learning that love holds us together, in ways that, often, are unseen to us when we are living in them.
Relationships. Sometimes some spaces of separation help us to cherish them more.

Is 'not a good fit for our culture' a euphemism for age discrimination?
Published on 3rd April 2017 4th April 2017 By Kayleigh Ziolo
There has been a major shift in focus on workplace culture for both new and established companies. Culture is the catch all buzz-word to cover everything from office features to ethos. It is a widely welcome trend, as it places higher importance on employee happiness and sense of belonging in the workplace. However, there may be a problem emerging in terms of diversity. In particular, culture may be the reason that older, more experienced workers are being overlooked for roles. One phrase that seems to have become an alternative way of saying 'you are too old for us' is 'not a good culture fit'.
The wrong approach to culture means recruitment becomes a search for people who look like themselves, generally people of similar backgrounds around the same age as them, and could also end up masking discrimination based on age, gender, race and sexual orientation. A lack of gender and racial diversity in an organisation usually raises alarm bells fairly quickly, and rightly so. However, there is a risk that 'ageism' can become an 'acceptable' form of discrimination in the workplace. On the one hand, we are being told that age is nothing but a number, and we are living and working longer. On the other hand, attitudes in recruitment are slower to catch up. With more people taking career breaks, building portfolio careers and deviating from that traditional linear career path, it's a problem acutely felt by lawyers who have many years of PQE. A role that would have traditionally been taken at an earlier stage in a traditional linear career is now being sought by anyone who is looking to diversify their experience and work in a different way.
As we live longer and work longer we are seeing more generations working together than ever before. Add to that the rapid technological advancement of companies, there may be a tendency to look for younger recruits who are of the digital generation. A fifth of employees surveyed across Europe by ADP cited age as the biggest barrier to their career progression, with older people feeling particularly isolated. There is also a suggestion that this impacts women more than men, according to research from Tulane University.
As our Agony Aunt has previously discussed, a rigid approach to PQE creates barriers for both young and old. Someone who falls short of the magic number of years PQE because they took a career break, but has amassed valuable transferable skills during that time is more likely be overlooked. Likewise, someone who is looking to change their work patterns and 'side step' into a role requiring less experienced is looked at sceptically for being 'overqualified.' This coded language of too senior for a role, or the culture fit is wrong really indicates the belief that the person is too old and may be a threat in some way. Technology advancement has allowed us to take more control over our working lives, and employees and employers alike support the virtues of flexible work and non-traditional career paths. Yet when it comes to a number on a CV, it seems age is still used in the old fashioned way as a measure of experience and a person's value to a company.
If employers value their working culture, they should value individual richness of experience. As we move away from focusing on the hours clocked in at the office, at the same time we should no longer be reducing people to the number of years they have on the clock. A greater mix of generations does create new challenges, but with open communication they can be dispelled. The benefits of shared life experience, a range of insights and perspectives far outweigh those challenges.

This can present problems, particularly if you try to bend down.
Have everything within reach before you start.
Make sure you use a surface at the correct height, e.g. waist height.
Changing mats are available which clip on to the top of your cot for an accessible surface at a good height.
Have a routine so your baby knows what you are going to do, when you need to do it.
You can do it on your lap using your elbow to pin your baby down.
If you have a family member or friend visiting, ask them to do it for you.
If you are comfortable kneeling, you can use a table at kneeling level or use a low table with a changing mat. This will reduce the number of times you pick up your baby.
There are now mats available onto which you can strap your child to prevent them falling off (contact Disability, Pregnancy & Parenthood (DPP) for details).
Keep a supply of nappies etc both upstairs and downstairs, and remember to refill it when planning your daily trips.
It is easiest to sit down to get dressed and undressed so as to avoid standing on one leg.
Put pants, trousers and socks over your feet and then you only have to stand up once to pull them all up at the same time.
Use a 'helping hand' (provided by an occupational therapist (OT)) to help put clothes over your feet.
Socks and tights aids (provided by an OT) can be used to help put on socks and tights if you cannot bend.
Slip-on shoes and using a long-handled shoe horn (provided by an OT) can help to avoid you having to bend.

What is the best way just to get the name of the file xyz.test.js from above?

A: If the traceback is stored in a string, and you want to extract the filename using regex (may not work for all types of exceptions):

var traceback = "Verify the most recent consumer review is showing all information. (0.683 sec) \
        - Expected true to be false, 'test title'. \

console.log(/\(.*\/([^\/]*.js).*\)/.exec(traceback)[1])

\(.*/([^/]*.js).*\)

Debuggex Demo

A: You could probably use a regexp for this, but if you want a bit more functionality, stacktrace-parser is useful:
const parse = require('stacktrace-parser').parse;
const path  = require('path');

let trace = `
        - Expected true to be false, 'test title'.
            at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/xyz/Documents/tests/somefolder/xyz.test.js:25:72)

console.log( path.basename( parse(trace)[0].file ) )
// outputs: xyz.test.js

France's Foreign Policy
France's foreign policy is founded on several centuries of diplomatic tradition and some fundamental principles: the right of peoples to self-determination, respect for human rights and democratic principles, respect for the rule of law and co-operation among nations. Within this framework, France's concern is to preserve its national independence while at the same time working to foster regional and international solidarity.
The construction of Europe
Photo : F. de La Mure / M.A.E.
Ministère des Affaires
étrangères, quai d'Orsay (Paris)
From as early as 1945 European construction has been at the heart of French foreign policy. There have been several major reasons for this: the desire to restore peace and guarantee the security of the States, strengthen democratic government and build an integrated economic and monetary area able to ensure prosperity for the peoples of Europe.
Given this, General de Gaulle and Presidents Pompidou, Giscard d'Estaing, Mitterrand and Chirac have striven unceasingly to make the European edifice a reality and develop it into an economic power and respected political forum.
With its GDP of €9,710 billion in 2003, the European Union is the equal of the North American continent and leads Asia.
On 1 May 2004, ten new members joined the European Union. Strengthened by twenty-five countries, the European Union forms the third largest grouping on the planet, occupying 3% of its dry land and holding 7.5% of its population and a quarter of global wealth.
In the area of security, the Cold War years and the succeeding period of instability have placed heavy responsibilities on all the democratic nations, including France. Party to the North Atlantic Treaty (NATO), France also belongs to the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and the Eurocorps, in which France has nearly 13,000 troops.
As one of the five nuclear powers - alongside the United Kingdom, the United States, Russia and China - France is ensuring the maintenance of its deterrent force and its adaptation to the new strategic realities, taking into account the European dimension of its defence, while working towards a total ban on nuclear testing and committing itself to arms control and disarmament.
Action at the UN
France's foreign policy is conducted in accordance with the Purposes and Principles of the United Nations, purposes and principles which in fact comply with the ideals underlying France's republican tradition.
Thus, since 1945 France has constantly supported the UN, to which it is the fourth largest contributor. In 2004, it contributed a total of €84.35 million to the UN's regular budget and €107.57 million to the UN system's specialised agencies.
As a permanent member of the Security Council, France has participated directly in many UN peacekeeping operations (in the Middle East, Cambodia, the former Yugoslavia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sierra Leone, Côte d'Ivoire, Haiti, etc.). French contributions to peacekeeping operations stood at €140.34 million in 2003.
France also supports the action of the UN in the area of development aid, in particular through contributions and technical assistance that it provides to the main programmes for fighting poverty (UNDP), child protection (UNICEF) or fighting drugs (UNDCP).
France's international co-operation policy relies on the exercise of both influence and solidarity.
The Directorate-General for Development and International Co-operation (DGCID) implements this policy around four main lines:
Development aid through co-operation
France intends to continue its effort of solidarity towards the poorest countries and in 2003 devoted €6.4 billion to official development assistance. This sum represents 0.41% of French GDP.
The major part of the funds provided by France for development aid is devoted to bilateral assistance provided directly to the beneficiary countries by French government departments or those acting for them.
In 2003, development in Africa continued to be a priority for French foreign policy. The proportion of bilateral aid going to sub-Saharan Africa thus rose from 49% in 2002 to 57% in 2003.
Encouraging cultural exchanges and the use of the French language
France has 151 French cultural establishments abroad, located in 91 countries, and a network of 283 Alliances françaises.
The policy of promoting the French language concerns 82 million learners in 130 countries and relies on 900,000 teachers. The Agency for French Studies Abroad (AEFE) co-ordinates the activities of the 268 French schools in the world.
Promoting scientific and academic co-operation
France intends to both support the internationalisation of French research and to disseminate information on the scientific systems of partner countries.
The Science and Technology Observatory and the 28 French research centres abroad are responsible for implementing these objectives.
As regards academic co-operation, France manages more than 200 French-speaking degree courses throughout the world and reinforces in particular its relations with partners such as Germany and the United States. An increasing number of foreign students are welcomed to France: they total 220,000.
Ensuring a French presence on the world audiovisual scene
The French audiovisual presence abroad is increasingly strong and support for major operators in this sector, such as the French-speaking channel TV5 and Radio France International (RFI), is now a government priority.
France also supports the distribution of French films and documentaries.
France gives humanitarian action a specific place in its foreign policy, and also demonstrates its loyalty to the values it has inspired. France has played a vital role in the development of humanitarian action and international humanitarian law.
The French Foreign Ministry's Humanitarian Action Delegation implements the emergency humanitarian relief actions abroad decided by the government. The Delegation therefore co-ordinates the action of its various institutional partners such as the Sécurité civile (emergency services dealing with natural disasters, bomb disposal, etc), Samu mondial (mobile emergency medical service - international branch), the French Defence Ministry, Emergency NGOs, and so on. The funds earmarked for these programmes totalled €9.3 million in 2004. French NGOs working abroad receive about 40% of these funds in the form of grants.
In this area France also provides support to the activities of multilateral organisations. In 2004, €49 million was paid to various UN humanitarian agencies: Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), UNICEF, World Food Programme (WFP), United Nations Relief and Work Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and so on.
Finally France's contribution to programmes implemented within the European framework amounts to more than €100 million. Through ECHO (European Community Humanitarian Office), France assists countries or peoples in need, suffering the effects of natural disasters or political crises.
French-speaking world (Francophony)
At the same time as promoting cultural, scientific and technical exchanges, France is keen to increase the use of the French language.
Through Francophony it intends to make the Francophone community (131 million people or 2.5% of the world's population) into a genuine forum for co-operation.
Since 1986, there have been eight Francophone Summits. The summit of Heads of State and Government of the countries having the French language in common, held in Hanoi (Vietnam) in November 1997, endorsed the Francophone community's political dimension with the appointment of a Secretary-General, a political spokesman for the community and co-ordinator of its economic, cultural and linguistic co-operation programmes.
Now including 51 States, the Francophone Community held its nine summit in October 2002 in Beirut (Lebanon).
The French in the world
Half are temporary overseas residents (average stay four years). In most cases they are employees of French companies, civil servants on overseas assignment or members of humanitarian organisations.
Nearly 2 million French citizens live abroad:
52,9 % in Europe
19,1 % in America
12,5 % in North Africa and the Middle East
10,3 % in sub-Saharan Africa
5,3 % in Asia and Oceania
The other half are permanent residents, among them those with dual French and foreign citizenship, whose numbers swelled by 85% between 1984 and 2002.

Q: Is there any possible way to handle image opening in web view I faced a problem, and hope somebody would be kind and give me a hand with it.
The problem is: I've got a webView in my application to open links on some news within my app (and I don't want to open them with browser or anything like that). And this news sometimes contains images.
When user tap on those images, they opens in the same size area as main news. And it looks quite bad.
[in picture bottom you can see top of the opened image][1]
[1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6M4fg.jpg
I already have a fragment in my structure to open images by url, but I don't know how to handle this "on-image" click in webView and grab image url from it to go to my ImageView fragment.
I read a bit about using javascript to take id from page html code, but there are no unique id's in html for those pictures.

A: You can provide your own WebViewClient and override shouldOverrideUrlLoading and then intercept click on a image.
Some example how it can looks like:
webView.webViewClient = object: WebViewClient() {
        override fun shouldOverrideUrlLoading(
            view: WebView?,
            request: WebResourceRequest?
        ): Boolean {
            return if (isImage(request)) {
                openImageViewFragment(request.url)
                false // indicates that webview shouldn't do anything with the request
            } else {
                super.shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view, request)
            }
        }
    }

The Georgia Center for Menopausal Medicine Blog What can I do about mood swings in the Peri-Menopausal Transition?
Very low-dose anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medications help with the emotional changes of peri-menopause and menopausal transition. My favorite drug in the world to use for this is a low dose of Prozac®. If you read the medical journals and textbooks, you always will see Effexor®, Paxil®, and Wellbutrin® discussed for menopause. I personally think that the doses that you have to start people on with these drugs are too high. Prozac®, or fluoxetine, is approved for PMS by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), and it works great. Prozac® has a bad name. No one wants to be on Prozac® because it is Prozac®. It was the first SSRI (selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor) that came on the market, and in my opinion, it is the best one. It is cheap, and it is the only one approved for children and dogs. (Yes. Ask your veterinarian; they use it for depressed dogs.) I give my patients a very low dose of Prozac® for their menopausal symptoms, hot flashes, and mood swings. A normal starting adult dose is 20 mg/day. I usually start my patients out on a 10 mg tablet that they break in half. If you think about it, they are not depressed but are overwhelmed with the changes that are happening to them. After about a month, I have them increase the dose to 10 mg/day if they are not any better. Most of the anti-depressants that we use for menopausal symptoms are capsules, or they don't come in lower doses. I like to stay with this low dose of Prozac® for several reasons. The 10 mg dosage is a tablet that can be cut in half and this helps people wean off the drug when they are ready. It is hard to wean off of a capsule unless you just take it less often (i.e. every other day, then every third day, then every fourth day). Secondly, my patients don't need the higher dose (which is indicated for depression). Lastly, on the low dose, they usually don't have the side effects that can commonly occur with this class of drug.


Since our establishment in 1990, we have been manufacturing high-quality original jewelry with themes such as "love," "peace," "freedom," "equality," and "courage". Our jewelry has had its materials chosen responsibly and been designed, manufactured, and finished entirely within Japan by our company using outsourced craftspeople of outstanding ability that have been selected carefully. From traditional techniques inherited from ancient times to such cutting-edge technology as lasers and 3-D CAD, our craftspeople enthusiastically strive to make the most of their expert technique, and produce jewelry of uncompromising quality.
Our original jewelry has been designed based on the concept of "aesthetics of subtraction" doing away with excessive ornamentation. Our jewelry embodies the depth of maturity and effortlessness brought forth through subtraction. Instead of aimlessly pursuing extravagance or visual impact, our jewelry has been designed based on the premise of being used forever with love. You may feel slightly unsatisfied at first. However, the designs that do not unnecessarily follow trends will not become dated through continued loving use. We believe that silver is a wonderful material that allows you to enjoy its various changing expressions through use, similarly to high-quality leather and denim products. We aim for high-quality classic pieces that you never get tired of and provide you complete satisfaction through 5, 10, or more years of loving use.
This letter "M" contains a motif of a shrine which rises up into the deep-blue sky. The three supporting circles represent the three design features of Dr. Monroe, "Design", "Quality", and "Service". All of Dr. Monroe creations are examples of the three elements used to build his structures. The highest levels of design, skill, and passion that the people of ages past poured into their shrines captivate us even more so today. To give our best in the pursuit of the creation of products which transcend the times. This is the desire of Dr Monroe contained within this emblem.

Studies in the Carnivalesque and Ritualesque
Edited by Jack Santino
SERIES: Ritual, Festival, and Celebration
Public Performances offers a deep and wide-ranging exploration of relationships among genres of public performance and of the underlying political motivations they share. Illustrating the connections among three themes—the political, the carnivalesque, and the ritualesque—this volume provides rich and comprehensive insight into public performance as an assertion of political power.
Contributors consider how public genres of performance express not only celebration but also dissent, grief, and remembrance; examine the permeability of the boundaries between genres; and analyze the approval or regulation of such events by municipalities and other institutions. Where the particular use of public space is not sanctioned or where that use meets with hostility from institutions or represents a critique of them, performers are effectively reclaiming public space to make public statements on their own terms—an act of popular sovereignty.
Through these concepts, Public Performances distinguishes the sometimes overlapping dimensions of public symbolic display. Carnival, and thus the carnivalesque, is understood to possess tacit social permission for unconventional or even deviant performance, on the grounds that normal social order will resume when the performance concludes. Ritual, and the ritualesque, leverages a deeper symbolic sensibility, one believed—or at least intended—by the participants to effect transformative, longer-term change.
Contributors: Roger D. Abrahams, John Borgonovo, Laurent Sébastien Fournier, Lisa Gilman, Barbara Graham, David Harnish, Samuel Kinser, Scott Magelssen, Elena Martinez, Pamela Moro, Beverly J. Stoeltje, Daniel Wojcik, Dorothy L. Zinn
'This book is remarkable for the variety of public performances it closely describes and analyzes, its geographic range, as well as its variety of genres and historical periods [and] the depth of its scholarship and its disciplinary range. . . . It is a valuable contribution to the study of ritual, festival, and public display.'
—Carolyn Ware, Louisiana State University
'[Public Performances]. . . . will inspire folklorists and scholars in affiliated disciplines to push these issues further, probing more deeply into the political dimensions of the ritualesque and the ritualesque dimensions of the political. . . . A welcome addition to the series.'
—Journal of Folklore Research
'The variety of methods and approaches, which are presented in short essays, makes this a potentially valuable resource for those teaching performance oriented folklore to undergraduates or early-career graduate students. . . . many of the essays also engage intelligently with other genres and scholarly themes that are important to folklorists.'
—The Journal of American Folklore
Jack Santino is professor of folklore and popular culture and has served as director of the Bowling Green Center for Popular Culture Studies. He was the Alexis de Tocqueville Distinguished Professor at the University of Paris, Sorbonne, 2010–2011.

AtWork lands another coveted ranking
AtWork Group, a rapidly growing national staffing franchise, was ranked in Entrepreneur Magazine's Fastest-Growing Franchises list. This highly competitive list recognizes the 150 companies with the greatest franchise unit growth in North America, based on data submitted for Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 Ranking. AtWork was ranked No. 106 on this year's list.
"For business owners who want to grow their brand quickly, franchising is a compelling and often effective option," says Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur. "The companies on this list prove that well, having opened a combined total of more than 10,000 new franchises in just one year."
Entrepreneur's 2018 Fastest-Growing Franchises ranking is based on each company's net franchise unit growth in the U.S. and Canada from July 31, 2016 to July 31, 2017, with ties broken based on percentage growth. AtWork's position on the ranking demonstrates the rising popularity of the brand with both franchisees and clients.
"To be listed among the fastest-growing franchises in North America is not only an honor, but a testimony to the hard work of our franchise owners and employees nationwide," said Jason Leverant, president and COO of AtWork Group. "Having local franchisees provide AtWork's unique brand of service throughout the U.S. has been the driving force behind our success. The excellent service that our franchisees and their staff members offer job seekers and businesses is what differentiates us from other staffing agencies and spurs our continued growth."
AtWork Group is currently operating in 26 U.S. states and plans to award more than 100 new franchise locations to local entrepreneurs by 2022.

Beverage of Choice I love Mountain Dew, but usually drink water.
something you'd like to Change in your Life I'd like to work less and serve God and my family more.
favorite Ice Cream flavor mmm… ice cream! I don't have a favorite. I love peanut butter ice cream, cherry ice cream, pecan ice cream, almond, chocolate, vanilla, banana… The only ice cream I don't love is coffee-flavored.
Nickname I've never had a nickname.
a weird thing in your Purse/bag I just cleaned it out, so there's nothing weird in there.
Time it takes to get ready It depends on where I'm going. 🙂 A half hour maybe?
Best Vacation My husband and I took a 10-day cruise for our honeymoon.

Are you trying to figure out which color to paint your bedroom?
Maybe you just moved or bought your first home, or you're sick of your current bedroom wall color.
Here are some bedroom colors that have caught my eye on Pinterest. Enjoy them for some inspirations — I hope one of these hits the spot!
What would you call this? Gray turquoise? It's definitely a statement to paint your bedroom this color. It's pretty dark, but also calming.
This post includes includes affiliate links. See my disclosure policy here.
I painted the bedroom in our last apartment a light beige, and when we bought our Blue Cottage, I decided on a light baby blue for our bedroom color, like this one.
This light off-white or beige bedroom color is soothing and works perfectly in a home with cottage or farmhouse decor.
Here is a stunning greige bedroom – a mix of gray and beige.
Peach is not my color, but this peach accent wall is really beautiful, don't you think? I love the idea of the frame on the wall.
Here is a tip: if you are in love with a certain color but can't imagine painting a whole room with it, then just paint one wall that color as an accent wall.
I like this copper wall color.
Turquoise is a lovely color for kids bedrooms! I didn't want to paint our son's bedroom blue — that's too predictable — and so we picked a pretty turquoise.
Landon's favorite color is orange, and I plan to paint his white dresser a bright orange soon for another pop of color.
I already have the paint — I'll use Amy Howard's chalk paint again, like I did for this cabinet.
Amy's one step paint is super easy to apply, there is no need to sand first.
Here is Landon's desk nook.
Taupe is a beautifully calming color for a bedroom – in fact, this is Sherwin Williams Poised Taupe, the Color of the Year for 2017.
This pretty lavender color that's leaning to pink is beautifully refreshing for a bedroom, and a lovely color for a girl's bedroom or guest room.
A light green gray looks good in any home, and here you can see how you can dress up that muted color with a lot of colorful accents in bedding. This color is perfect if you like to redecorate a lot, because it looks good with about any decor you choose.
This is kind of a sophisticated taube/gray. It can look masculine and feminine, depending on the decor.
I hope these pretty bedroom paint colors gave you some ideas of which one you want in your bedroom.
Which one is your favorite bedroom?
Can you tell me where the comforter is from in picture #7? It's the one that is off white with a yellowish gold flower and cranberry throw.
I am in LOVE with that first blue. I'm wanting to paint our bedroom that color with whites and dark browns!
My favorite color to paint a bedroom is Sleepy Blue by Sherwin Williams. I used the paint for our bedroom and love it. The color changes with the light but always looks great.

The Lark Sparrow is a terrestrial bird species that is native to the Caribbean, North America and Central America. It is also known to visit the United Kingdom as well. The range of the Lark Sparrow is about 5.5 million square kilometers. The population of the Lark Sparrow is nearing 1 billion individuals. Due to the extremely large range as well as population of the Lark Sparrow, this bird species is not considered to be facing any immediate threats or dangers. The current rating for the Lark Sparrow is Least Concern.
Lark Sparrow: Medium sparrow with streaked, gray-brown upperparts and buff underparts with black breast spot. Head has black, white, and chestnut-brown stripes. Tail is long and black with white edges. Short, fluttering flight, alternates rapid wing beats with wings pulled to sides.
Range and Habitat
Lark Sparrow: Breeds from British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and northern Minnesota, south to California, northern Mexico, Louisiana, and Alabama. Spends winters from southern California to Florida and southward. Preferred habitats include grasslands, semi-open scrublands, agricultural areas, sagebrush and pinyon-juniper woodlands in lowlands and foothills.
Lark Sparrow SONGS AND CALLS
Lark Sparrow A1
Rapid, high-pitched calls.
Song is a mix of musical notes, trills, churrs, and harsh buzzes.

Unlike many songbirds, the Lark Sparrow walks on the ground rather than hops. It hops only during courtship.
A courting male crouches on the ground, holds his tail up at a 45 degree angle, spreads the tail feathers to show off the white tips, and struts with drooping wings, wingtips nearly touching the ground.
They often take over old mockingbird or thrasher nests instead of building their own. The eggs and young of two species have sometimes been found in the same nest, suggesting they share the nest with the other bird.
A group of sparrows has many collective nouns, including a "crew", "flutter", "meinie", "quarrel", and "ubiquity" of sparrows.

About this North America Map
This map shows how this species is distributed across North America.
FAMILY DESCRIPTION
New World Sparrows and Towhees (Passerellidae)
Most of the small birds such as the finches, wood-warblers, and sparrows are members of the one hundred and forty-two families found in the largest taxonomic order of birds; the PASSERIFORMES (pronounced pas-ser-i-FOR-meez).
FAMILY TAXONOMY
The New World Sparrows and related birds are placed in the passerellidae (pronounced pass-ur-EL-ih-dee), a group of one hundred and thirty species in twenty-six genera only found in the New World.
Eighty-two species of New World Sparrows and Towhees in twenty-six genera are found in North America.
Members of this family are known for their terrestrial behavior, cheery songs, and in the case of sparrows, challenges to their identification due to similarities in appearance of several species. Dark-eyed Juncos and various other species are also well known visitors to feeders during the winter months.
Members of the passerellidae are small, plump birds with short, finch-like bills adapted to cracking open seeds. Their wings are generally short and their tails and legs average in length.
In general, bright colors are not a hallmark of this family although some species do show patches of bright orange and red-brown. Brown, white, and gray plumages with streaked and spotted patterns are commonplace for the primarily dull colored sparrows. However there are exceptions, such as the boldly patterned plumages of black, white, and tan plumages displayed by the juncos, and the vibrant black and burnt orange of the towhees.
GEOGRAPHIC HABITAT
At least one species of passerellidae can be found in most every habitat in North America. Most species are birds of weedy fields, scrub, second growth, and non-forest habitats such as desert, grassland, and marsh. The few species adapted to woodlands frequent the thick undergrowth at forest openings and edges.
Like other short distance migrants, most members of this family migrate later in fall, earlier in spring, and often show up at feeders during the winter. Some species, such as the Fox Sparrow, practice "leap frog" migration with more northerly populations migrating further south in the winter.
Outside of the breeding season, sparrows and other members of this family flock together for protection from predators. All are generally terrestrial birds that forage on the ground for seeds and arthropods.
Members of this family are for the most part common birds with plenty of available habitat. Passerellidae species that have declined and are endangered in many parts of their range are those that require grasslands, such as the Grasshopper and Henslow's Sparrows, and one species, the Bachman's Sparrow, which requires open pine forests with a grassy understory.
The Worthen's Sparrow is an enigmatic species historically recorded in the southwestern United States. Rare, little known, and difficult to find in its known Mexican range, this species may be more adapted to grassland habitats that have disappeared or been drastically altered since European settlement. One of the most commonly seen sparrows in the United States, the House Sparrow, is not a member of this family and, as an imported species, is actually more closely related to African weaver finches and European sparrows than North American sparrows.

It's time to pick up the best beach umbrella you can find before the Summer heat gets crazy.
The very best beach umbrellas are light to carry and big enough to provide you with shade from the harsh rays of the sun.
If your family is spending some time at the beach this summer, I've searched out some of the best beach umbrellas around for getting some cool shade.
It's very important to pack your sunscreen, sunglasses and wide brimmed hats for your beach vacation, but the best beach umbrella you can find is important too.
Your kids will need to take breaks from playing in the hot sun at the beach or even in your back yard.
Take along a large portable beach umbrella that allows your kids to get some rest and and even maybe nap in the shade.
The portable beach umbrellas featured below will give you a nice shaded space to retreat to when you need a break from all the beach activities.
Pick up one of these fabulous beach umbrellas to take to the beach. They come in great sizes and they'll work great for keeping you cool in the shade.
Is Your Best Beach Umbrella At Amazon?
Amazon always has such a great selection of everything! Aren't these beach umbrellas super? I love the Sport Brellas myself because the sides help keep blowing sand away from me a little better than the regular beach umbrellas. Going to the beach means lots of fun in the sun and playing in the water, but when it's time for some rest you're going to need some shade to keep the hot sun off your skin. These unique beach umbrellas will do just that…and look great doing it.
Don't forget to check over at Walmart. I love to catch the great rollbacks and sales over there any chance I get. The selection is really good, too. Maybe you'll find the best beach umbrella for your needs. I love these beach umbrellas 'with a twist'.
You owe it to yourself to check what interesting things are on sale on eBay. You just never know what you'll find there! If you know you'll be needing a portable beach umbrella, set yourself up a saved search and have the updates emailed to you. That's my favorite part about shopping on eBay.

12 Top Talks from the 2017 Retail Cyber Intelligence Summit
On October 2-4, 2017, the Retail Cyber Intelligence Sharing Center (R-CISC) hosted Securing Retail 002, the second iteration of its annual summit first held in April 2016. Speakers from Microsoft, Target and other Fortune 500 companies shared their thoughts on the retail digital security landscape with attendees over the course of the two-day event.
Presented below are some of the top talks from this year's conference along with some amazing visualizations created in real-time by graphic recording artist Kelly Kingman.
The Top 12 Talks from the 2017 R-CISC Summit from Tripwire
Stepping Into Leadership: Staying Ahead of Today's Threats and the Evolving CISO Role
Speaker: Rich Agostino, senior vice president and chief information security officer for Target
In his presentation, Rich Agostino pointed out that chief information officers (CIOs) and chief technology officers (CTOs) were the only C-level executives in IT 15 years ago. Since then, they've been joined by the chief information security officer (CISO). Agostino then drew upon his experience of elevating Target's digital security practices to discuss what it takes to be a CISO. He said leadership has a lot to do with it. CISOs must hire well and then learn to manage people by bringing together PR, Ops, IT, marketing, and others in an effort to manage and craft solutions. CISOs, he went on to note, should also strive to be the first to know about potential security issues and to partner with app developers who have a security resource so that they can work together to develop smartly and efficiently.
Big Threats, Small Shop: Tracking Major Campaigns with Limited Resources
Speaker: Jason Lay, threat intelligence lead at QVC
Developing an effective, efficient, and evolving cybersecurity program requires a targeted approach. A common challenge is a lack of resources, but Jason Lay is of a firm mind that intelligence teams can still leverage preexisting methods for adequate protection. During his talk, he said that it's all about a few major initiatives: establishing intelligence requirements, leveraging strategic communication (what's going on in the industry) and internal intelligence (what's happening on the network), and closing the loop with a "so what" factor. This final element usually consists of analyzing trends and patterns along with discussing insights from major campaigns as well as from low hanging fruit like phishing attacks. Intelligence teams can and should refer to other departments, tools and resources, and security products to help make their point, Lay noted.
The Next Evolution of Information Security
Speaker: Kostas Georgakopoulous, CISO at Procter & Gamble
From his experience in financial services, federal-level security investigations, and partnerships with leading security groups and companies, Kostas Georgakopoulous knows that CISOs struggle with three realities: threats, complexity, and budget. At the same time, cyber attackers are getting faster and more sophisticated. Georgakopoulous said in his presentation that CISOs can counter those malicious attackers by using open-sourced capabilities that are already available. Those tools include Wazuh, which allows you to search incidents in just seconds; machine learning; the cloud; and telemetry.
The First Person You Must Lead is You
Speaker: Becky Halstead, retired brigadier general of the U.S. Army and founder of STEADFAST Leadership, LLC
Retired Brigadier General Becky Halstead reflected on how her time in the United States Army has shaped her understanding of leadership in the corporate community. To her, leadership means championing change and acting as the "calm in the chaos" through any adjustments that ensue. Halstead also believes that leaders must be authentic to themselves and exercise a healthy dose of curiosity. Only then can they think differently and lead diverse peoples by example so that their team members can feel empowered and claim ownership of the project at hand.
World-Class Cybersecurity Operations
Speaker: Carson Zimmerman, a cyber security operations centers (CSOC) engineering team lead with Microsoft
Today's Cyber Security Operations Centers (CSOCs) should have an array of detection and prevention technologies, a sea of cyber intelligence reporting, and access to a workforce of talented IT professionals to mount defend the ever-changing IT enterprise against ever-evolving digital threats. Currently, many CSOCs fall short in that regard due to the proliferation of data. But they're not powerless to counter it. In his presentation, Carson Zimmerman set out 10 strategies for cyber security operations centers. Those methods included making strategic service decisions, favoring staff quality over quantity, and protecting the CSOC mission.
Navigating Cyber Risk in the Spotlight: The Importance of Being Ready
Speakers: Greg Alexander, vice president and global security advisor for the Priceline Group; Rebecca Janutis, vice president of information security for Kohl's Department Stores; and Rocco Grillo, executive managing director serving on Stroz Friedberg's executive management team
Greg Alexander, Rebecca Janutis, and Rocco Grillo discussed in their presentation how to limit brand and reputation damage in the wake of a digital security event. Among other things, they pointed out that relationships play an important role in mitigating digital security risk. In particular, they highlighted the relationship between the CEO and CISO as crucial to an organization's digital security strategy. The presenters also explained the benefits of phishing training, insider threat prevention technologies, and strong governance in addressing risk.
The True Cost of Cybercrime
Speaker: Kelly Bissell, global managing director of Accenture Security
In his keynote, Kelly Bissell discussed new research from the Ponemon Institute and Accenture that shows how companies' security investments fail to deliver efficiency and effectiveness. Bissell attributed this gap in results to difference of cost vs. value. In general, Bissell said he believes organizations can get better at protection by embracing five business innovations. These changes, he explained, can help strengthen business agility, enhance customers' experience, and help organizations better understand data.
How Leading Security & Fraud Teams Fight Account Takeover
Speaker: Shuman Ghosemajumder is chief technology officer at Shape Security
In 2016, more than 3.3 billion credentials were reported stolen, with credential stuffing attacks constituting over 90 percent of the total login traffic on many large retailers. Shuman Ghosemajumder said these figures should motivate retail organizations to protect against account takeover (ATO) attacks. He felt they should begin by defining the problem and then work to develop a framework for protecting clients as well as ensuring collaboration between security and programming. Ghosemajumder also pointed out the importance of machine learning, generalized application defense like two-step verification, and JavaScript finger-printing.
The Importance of Women in Cybersecurity
Speakers: Deborah Dixson, senior vice president of information security and risk at Best Buy Co; Roseann Larson, vice president CISO for VF Corporation; Lauren Dana Rosenblatt, executive director and global head of cyber threat management at The Estée Lauder Companies; and Suzie Squier, executive director of the Retail Cyber Intelligence Sharing Center (R-CISC)
According to Women's Society of Cyberjutsu (WSC) statistic, women represent 11% of the world's information security workforce. STEM, Cyber Boot Camps, and other programs are helping to attract women to the field, yet an imbalance persists. In this inspiring keynote discussion, leading women in strategic roles within their cybersecurity organizations took on this inequity and reflected on the importance of women in this industry. They shared their stories on how they got involved in security, identified challenges that all security leadership face, and pinpointed specific benefits that women bring to digital security.
The Great Teams Understand "The Why"
Speaker: Don Yaeger, nationally acclaimed inspirational speaker, longtime associate editor of Sports Illustrated and author of 26 books
Don Yaeger shared his findings from interviews with Olympic Gold Medal winners to reflect on what makes a great security team. He noted that the best teams know their purpose and whom they are in service of while being acutely aware of downstream beneficiaries. In Yaeger's mind, the best teams are also flexible. They let culture come to them and adapt to change all while upholding a sense of commitment, trust, and honor.
Risk and Fraud Mitigation: Insights from The Front Lines
Speakers: Tim Brewer, vice president of engineering & solution delivery at CashStar; Scott Roubic, vice president of internal audit, asset protection and real estate at Jo-Ann Stores; Michel Huffaker, program manager in threat intelligence and vulnerability management at MGM Resorts International; and Dan Holden, CTO and intelligence director at R-CISC
Dan Holden moderated this lively discussion on the expanding threat landscape that confronts retailers of all sizes. Tim Brewer, Scott Roubic, and Michel Huffaker together discussed communication, architecture and technology, brand protection, and a number of other items that organizations should consider when it comes to strengthening their security posture.
Driving Security Operations Efficiency Through Orchestration and Automation
Speakers: Vikram Desai, managing director at Accenture Security, and Scott Howitt, senior vice president CISO for MGM Resorts International
More than a third of attempted breaches on retail companies over the past year were successful. In light of this development, Vikram Desai and Scott Howitt revealed that they don't think throwing tools will help organizations better protect themselves. Instead they disclosed their belief that security operations need to be simplified and orchestrated. Towards that end, they discussed an instance where they pushed vendors to talk about how to mitigate risks. The culmination of this meeting was a normalized platform that allows tools to talk to one another.

Despite a strong alliance, Japan's stern response to U.S. military accidents is predictable.
On December 13, 2016, a U.S. Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft made an emergency landing off the coast of Nago, Okinawa; five were injured. Then-Minister of Defense Tomomi Inada called for a total shutdown of U.S. Osprey flights; they resumed three days later.
On August 5, 2017, an Osprey crashed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Australia during routine training operations; three service members were lost. Two days after the accident Minster of Defense Itsunori Onodera, just one week into his current position, asked the United States to cease all Osprey operations in Japan — even though the accident occurred far from Japanese shores.
On October 12, a U.S. Marine Corps CH-53 Stallion helicopter caught fire inflight and was forced to land on civilian property; no injuries or damage occurred. Once again, Onodera asked for the United States to halt all operations; the U.S. military gave him five days' respite before resuming CH-53 operations.
Accidents like these strain the U.S.-Japan relationship. Japanese citizens see a thoughtless U.S. military continuing to roll the dice with dangerous aircraft operations; Americans see an ungrateful Japan that doesn't appreciate U.S. efforts to defend it. But these perceptions are only skin deep; it is important to understand why the government of Japan continues to make issue of U.S. aircraft accidents. The answer lies in domestic politics.
From the Japanese perspective, the central government has no choice but to comment on the accidents, no matter how many fatalities are involved. After 70 years of peace, pacifist education, and a populace which believes the Self-Defense Forces are more a uniformed disaster-response team than an armed organization dedicated to the defense of Japan, the Japanese polity simply doesn't understand how complicated military operations carry a degree of risk, which occasionally results in fatal accidents. Nor do they understand that the United States' most advanced military equipment — often deployed first to Japan, out of a long list of many desiring countries — are more risk-prone than well-established equipment by its very nature of being new and advanced.
Japanese citizens, and especially Okinawa Prefecture residents, just like American citizens, take accidents out on their leaders. After years of chilly dialogue between the Okinawan and central governments, a stalled Futenma Marine Base relocation plan, and subsidies paid to residents gradually decreasing in effectiveness, the Japanese central government can ill afford another reason for Okinawa Prefecture to despise them. The careful student will note reactions to U.S. aircraft accidents increase in severity in proportion to the election cycle; the October 12 accident occurred scarcely three weeks after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called for a snap Lower House general election, which practically mandated a government response calling for total cessation of operations.
Continually lost in the headlines after an accident are the different perspectives from both the U.S. and Japanese positions. After an accident, Japan usually insists the U.S. military take immediate action to safeguard its aircraft or cease flying altogether; the U.S. side generally asserts their aircrews did a superb job given the difficult circumstances, usually noting how the ill-fated aircraft successfully steered away from urban areas and the like, and how the accident could have been much worse. Both sides are right, but getting lost in translation are the cultural nuances needed to advance the conversation. The American side finds it distasteful to apologize for unavoidable accidents undertaken in its efforts to defend the very country that is complaining; the Japanese side, while understanding this completely, requires an apology to save face with citizens and to avoid domestic political fallout which could potentially bring down the ruling party — a concern which will, sadly, always override the sometimes tragic nature of accidents.
What the Japanese central government doesn't say after accidents is also worth noting, and represents a positive reminder of the strength of U.S.-Japan relations. For instance, the Japan side never criticizes the aircrews, U.S. military personnel, or U.S. leadership.
The U.S. side could also do more to help itself. To date, the best response to accidents U.S. leaders in Japan seem capable of is ripping away entire bases' liberties, despite a Japanese government that only requires the United States to say something publicly so they may save face. Instead of shackling entire legions, U.S. leaders ultimately responsible for reacting to accidents should take their cue from the late ambassador to Japan, Mike Mansfield. Mansfield presided over the Nissho Maru incident*, a tragedy that occurred in April 1981 when the U.S. Navy submarine USS George Washington collided with a Japanese cargo vessel, sinking the boat and killing two of its crew. Rather than placing Naval Forces Japan in chains, Mansfield called a press conference, apologized in Japanese and accompanied it with a deep and solemn bow. It was not a trick; it was a legitimate and authentic expression of remorse, and within months — and after punishing those actually responsible — the incident no longer affected U.S.-Japan relations.
Accidents are an inescapable part of military operations – for Japan as well as the United States. In August, a Japanese SH-60J helicopter crashed in northern Japan, and a UH-60J helicopter vanished during training on October 17, only days after the CH-53 accident. As Japan continues to build and modernize its defense enterprise under the Abe administration and future administrations, it should take care not to overplay its hand after future U.S. accidents.
Japan has committed to buying the V-22 Osprey itself, a $545 million deal concluded in July 2016 with operations set to begin in April 2019. Domestic strife originating with U.S. Osprey flights, then, may have an expiration date — much to the relief of U.S. forces and diplomats — but Japanese forces could very soon be the inheritor of Osprey-induced rancor. In any case, Japan would do well to prepare its citizenry for the tragic realities of operating cutting-edge military equipment, a necessary evil in an increasingly challenging regional security environment.

Floods affect 19.91m people in China
A total of 19.91 million people have been affected by floods since the beginning of the flood season this summer in China, according to the Ministry of Emergency Management.
Imaginechina
Crop-fields and residential buildings are submerged in floodwater caused by a heavy rainstorm in a village, Zhuzhou City, east China's Hunan Province, on July 10, 2019.
The country had relocated about 1.3 million people due to floods, while 582,000 people were in need of emergency aid, the ministry said.
The disasters caused total losses of 53.4 billion yuan (US$7.7 billion), with 34,000 houses collapsed and over 1.76 million hectares of farmland affected.
The ministry has pledged to make every effort to meet the basic living needs of those stricken by floods.
It will also work with water resource departments to intensify the patrol and maintenance of major dams and embankments, deploy more rescue forces in heavily flooded areas and make contingency plans for serious disasters.

An Illegal SD Bill Punishing People Who Alter the State Seal Has Been Amended January 22, 2018 Hemant Mehta
An Illegal SD Bill Punishing People Who Alter the State Seal Has Been Amended
I posted yesterday about an awful bill proposed by South Dakota State Rep. Sue Peterson, a Republican, that would have punished people for altering the state seal.
As introduced, House Bill 1102 would require anyone using the symbol for any reason to use a "full and complete" version of it, including the words "Under God The People Rule." That was a constitutional violation waiting to happen since artists and satirists (among others) would be charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail and/or a fine of up to $2,000, if they didn't follow the rules.
The good news is that the outcry from civil rights groups and individuals was loud enough that Peterson amended her own bill.
The version that passed through committee earlier today includes these words (with the bold type being the new material):
Any replica, facsimile, or reproduction of the state seal that is greater than one-half inch in diameter and used for an official purpose or a for-profit commercial use shall be a representation of the full and complete seal and shall include the state motto "Under God The People Rule." These requirements do not infringe upon or limit any artistic or satirical use of the seal.
So if you're using the seal for government or business reasons, you have to use the "official" version of it. But everyone else is free to mess with it all they want.
Those changes mean there's no longer a constitutional concern, so kudos to Peterson for fixing her mistake, though I still say there's no reason any version of the seal should include the words "Under God The People Rule."
