A manager once told me that subordinates often made appointments with him to complain at length and in detail about co-workers.
That didn't surprise him; what did was that after the person finished speaking, he would ask, "What would you like me to do?" and almost everyone answered, "Nothing, I just wanted you to know." Was it a waste of his time to listen? Research says not. It seems that disgruntled workers simply want to voice their dissatisfaction and believe they are being heard. It makes them believe that the workplace is fair and that their boss cares about them. So, the first take-away is that managers should learn to listen respectfully to employees' complaints. It makes them feel better and it keeps the workplace from becoming a locale of backbiting and complaint.
In hospitality, though, there's another barrier to the venting process: not all cultures feel equally comfortable voicing complaints to managers. Many low wage employees are migrants from collectivist societies with strict hierarchies (e.g. Latin America, most of Asia). Collectivists usually shrink from complaint because it breaks the collective harmony and those from hierarchical countries are reticent about approaching bosses in general. Research has shown that while people from those societies might be less likely to voice dissatisfaction to a manager, they actually value it more. Since many of the legal cases brought by hospitality workers arise from interpersonal tensions and perceived managerial disrespect, creating mechanisms for them to voice complaints to a person in authority can be valuable.
To do this, it's necessary to identify a "listener" whom employees see as patient and trustworthy and of sufficient authority to be seen as part of top management. The designated person has to explain this new feedback option to employees, ensuring them that all comments will be kept confidential. It is likely to take some time before employees begin to use the channel, but by joining employees during break times and asking for feedback, the trust needed develops. The managing director of one of the palace hotels in Paris told me that it took two months until the comments started, but once they began, it was as if floodgates had opened. On the other hand, it's better to listen to complaints in a company office than to have to deal with those in a lawyer's office when a lawsuit is filed.

Press Council awards 2017 Press Freedom Medals
Media Release APC 19 May 2017.
"The Australian Press Council has awarded its Press Freedom Medal to two outstanding individuals for their major contributions to ensuring a free and open society:
Peter Timmins - Australian Open Government Partnership Network
and Michael Cameron - News Corp Australia.
The 2017 Press Freedom Medals were awarded at a special ceremony in Sydney on 19 May. As well as members of the Press Council, journalists and guests from a variety of organisations attended.
Peter Timmins is a well-known advocate of improved standards of transparency and accountability and Australia's leading expert on Freedom of Information (FOI) policy and privacy, as well as being a leader of the Australian Open Government Partnership Network and publisher of the Open and Shut blog.
Michael Cameron is the National Editorial Counsel for News Corp Australia. He leads an in-house legal team, which he established, whose members have appeared in dozens of matters involving challenges to suppression orders, injunctions, defamation actions and so on, advocating for transparency and open justice.
"The purpose of the Australian Press Council is to promote responsible journalism to inform the Australian public and support effective democratic institutions. This year's winners have been exemplary in their tireless pursuit of the critical principle that citizens have a right to know, and so governments, and other important public and private institutions, must operate in an open and transparent manner," said Chair Professor David Weisbrot.
"Although the Press Council did not set off with this intention, this year's Press Freedom Medal winners prove the point that free speech and press freedom are not only reliant on brave and capable editors and journalists, but also on lawyers, activists and others who fight to preserve and extend these freedoms."
Michael Cameron said: "I'm honoured to accept this award on behalf of the editorial legal team at News Corp Australia, whose tireless work enables the publication of articles that would be otherwise be barred by our unduly secretive courts system and plaintiff-friendly defamation laws. Special thanks goes to Larina Mullins, our senior litigation counsel, who has appeared at close to 100 suppression hearings in the last three years."
Peter Timmins said: "This is a great but unexpected honour, a tribute to the many individuals and organisations including the Press Council that believe strongly in open, transparent and accountable government and joined the network to seek to ensure the government lives up to its Open Government Partnership commitments. Pursuing reform to improve our democracy is a never-ending journey."
The Press Council has awarded Press Freedom Medals in earlier years, but it was reserved for people affiliated with the organisation. It was decided last year to revitalise the award and open it up to people who, through their work as journalists, legal practitioners, community activists or advocates, help ensure the preservation of free speech, press freedom and open and transparent government.
In May 2016, Kate McClymont of Fairfax Media and Paul Maley of News Corp Australia received the first of the medals awarded under the new criteria, to great acclaim.

Getting a new job offer is a very exciting time, but an offer is really just the beginning of what can be tedious and long negotiations.
Many new job seekers can get so carried away in the excitement of landing a new job that they completely forget to take a careful look at the offer. Negotiating the salary is something that many job seekers either fail to do or do incorrectly.
I can certainly relate when it comes to job offer jitters. In one of my first "real" jobs after college, I excitedly accepted a job without even knowing how much the salary was. Needless to say, that was a big no-no.
Whether you're new to the workforce, or a seasoned vet, avoid these mistakes during salary negotiations so you can make more money.
The biggest mistake people make is actually not negotiating a salary at all. According to a survey by Salary.com, 18% of job applicants don't negotiate at all.
When candidates do negotiate, one common mistake they make is not asking for enough.They undervalue their strengths and experience.
If you are the perfect candidate for the job, you have a lot of bargaining power. Don't be afraid to ask for what you deserve. It's much harder to do so after you've already accepted the position.
On the flip side, it's possible to ask for too much. Too many candidates over-ask, in the hopes that the hiring manager will offer even more.
But the truth is that most managers have a budget to work with. A desired salary slightly about their budget is fine but if it's too much over, they might take it as a sign that they can't afford you and just move on.
When it comes to reviewing job offers, many candidates focus solely on the salary. But an offer package consists of much more than just money.
Don't forget to consider other benefits, such as health insurance, personal time off, and telecommuting options. If you aren't able to negotiate salary, you might be able to get them to beef up your benefits package.
Last but certainly not least, always do your research. The biggest mistake you can make is to go into salary negotiations without understanding the industry, what other candidates in your position are getting paid, and what kind of benefits packages are available.
A quick search online can help you get a better understanding of what an average salary in your field is. While you shouldn't use this information as a end-all-be-all, it should help guide you in the right direction when negotiating your salary.
What's the biggest mistake you've made during salary negotiations?

US President Donald Trump's administration seems to hope that, with a nudge from sanctions, ordinary Iranians will rise up and overthrow the Islamic Republic. But the economic data do not support the view that the Iranian public has been driven into abject poverty since 1979, let alone that it is on the brink of revolting.

Saudi Arabia's Empty Oil Threats

Read more about Saudi Arabia's Empty Oil Threats
The brazen murder of Washington Post journalist and U.S. resident Jamal Khashoggi has elicited that rarest of reactions in contemporary U.S. politics: bipartisan consensus. President Trump's administration, however, has adopted a notably restrained response thus far. US administration officials reportedly worry that by applying too much pressure on the kingdom, they could inadvertently "jeopardize plans to enlist Saudi help to avoid disrupting the oil market." The Trump administration has been counting on Saudi Arabia, as the world's swing producer, to increase its oil production to help offset the anticipated loss of Iranian supply come November 5, when sanctions lifted under the Iran nuclear deal are re-imposed. While Saudi Arabia does have the ability to impose costs on the United States if it is displeased by forceful action on the Khashoggi affair, Saudi threats to sabotage President Trump's Iran policy through manipulating the oil market do not appear credible

What the Iron Man-like character is claiming for his futuristic automotive company is not unheard of. On a systemic basis, mammoth institutional investment—especially from sovereign wealth funds (SWFs)—is flowing into start-ups and technology-oriented publicly traded companies. In this case, Saudi billions would help Mr Musk escape the pressures of being publicly listed. SWFs have invested large sums into high-growth start-ups promising innovation and financial returns. In fact, just this month, Saudi's Public Investment Fund (PIF) announced a US$1bn investment in Tesla's rival, Lucid, and a US$2bn stake in Tesla. The rise in SWF balance sheets and activity is having ramifications on global efforts to be more Silicon Valley-like, and on Silicon Valley itself.

清雍正/乾隆 宮廷繪畫 仕女對弈圖 絹本設色 鏡框裝裱
Provenance: a distinguished Italian private collection formed circa 1930s-1940s, and thence by descent
The important Italian collector lived and worked in Shanghai between 1932 and 1936, as representative of his Italian company and in 1937, following the Sino-Japanese war, he was transferred to Dalian in Southern Manchuria. After a brief period spent in Italy in 1938, he returned to Shanghai where he lived between 1941 and 1946 and formed the vast majority of his collection of Chinese Art.
來源:意大利顯赫私人收藏,約二十世紀三十至四十年代入藏,並由後人保存迄今
該重要意大利收藏家曾於1932至1936年作為某意大利公司代表在上海工作生活,1937年日本侵華戰爭爆發後遷往大連,1938年在意大利短暫停留後又回到上海,此番在上海居住的1941至1946年間,他獲得了其絕大部分中國藝術品收藏。
The most notable feature of the present lot is the remarkable similarity of the faces of the ladies with those in Yongzheng's famous Screen of Twelve Beauties in the Palace Museum, Beijing. Compare the faces and hems of the ladies with those in the Twelve Beauties at Leisure Painted for Prince Yinzhen, the Future Yongzheng Emperor (hereafter abbreviated as Screen of Twelve Beauties), by anonymous court artists in the Late Kangxi period, illustrated in China: the Three Emperors 1662-1795, London, 2005, pp.258-259, no.173. The uncanny similarity of the faces painted in realistic style with neat outlines and generous colour, follows the custom of depicting ladies of the Court as women of elegance and natural grace, and strongly points to the courtly origin of this painting.
The present lot closely follows the composition of another Imperial painted album, the Yue man qing you tu (月曼清遊圖) by Chen Mei 陳枚 (active in the early Qianlong reign), in the Palace Museum, Beijing. Painted in 1738, the album depicts the life of concubines over twelve months. One of the album leaves shows ladies playing chess in the exact same posture and position as the present lot, but within an interior. Therefore, one can see that the depiction of court ladies followed set models and precedents by court masters, which the present lot also follows.
By examining further the Screen of Twelve Beauties, we may understand too the background of the present lot. While the Yongzheng emperor was still a prince, he commissioned the set of paintings of twelve beauties for the purpose of decorating a screen in the Deep Willows Reading Hall, a study within his private quarters at the Summer Palace. An Imperial garden to the northwest of Beijing, the Summer Palace, was presented to the young prince in 1709 by his father, the Kangxi emperor. However, an item found in the archives of the Imperial Household Department notes that in the eighth lunar month of 1732, ten years into Yongzheng's reign as emperor, the twelve paintings were removed from the screen and individually stored.
Like the Screen of the Twelve Beauties, the present painting was also probably part of a larger screen or wall painting meant to decorate a palace. The apocryphal seal in the top right of the painting Jing ji shan zhuang (靜寄山莊), refers to an Imperial retreat in Panshan near Tianjin. Although the seal is apocryphal, it could refer to the original location where the present lot was from. Furthermore, like the Screen of the Twelve Beauties, the present lot was also at some point detached from a wall or screen and later cut into a more convenient and smaller section and re-mounted onto a different background. The format of the present lot is in keeping with 19th century practices of display; see for example J.Cahill, Pictures for Use and Pleasure: Vernacular Painting in High Qing China, 2010.
The artist of this painting as well as the Screen of Twelve Beauties portrayed the imagined beauties enjoying traditional Han Chinese leisure activities such as playing chess or weiqi, sampling tea, watching butterflies, and reading, as well as showing them in quiet reflection. This view reflects the late Imperial Chinese model of femininity, where women could engage in the traditionally male 'Four Arts of the Scholar' (playing the guqin, calligraphy, painting, and chess) whilst still being refined, delicate and attractively feminine. See S.McCausland and Lizhong Ling, Telling Images of China: Narrative and Figure Paintings 15th-20th Century from the Shanghai Museum, London, 2010, pp.65-7. The Manchu rulers, seeking to define themselves as the proper heirs to the throne of China, could not have missed the support of female intellectuality that many found even within the conservative Confucian tradition.
It would be tempting to suggest that the artist of the present lot also showcased the most popular costumes and hairstyles of Qing court women. However, it interesting to note that these ladies are dressed in the styles of the flourishing Chinese cultural centre of the Yangzi delta region, at a time when there were repeated Imperial efforts to block the growing Manchu tendency to take on Han Chinese folkways. The Qianlong emperor, like his predecessors an author of repeated prohibitions against Manchu adoption of Han dress - wrote that its appearance in one rendition of women attending the emperor was not to be taken seriously, dismissing it as 'painterly playfulness' (丹青遊戲); see J.Larsen, 'Women of the Imperial Household: Views of the Emperor's Consorts and their Female Attendants' in Proceedings of the Denver Museum of Natural History, no.15, November 1, 1998, p.24. One can surmise that the present lot and paintings like it, such as the Screen of Twelve Beauties and Yue man qing you tu, were following artistic conventions of the court rather than depicting the actual leisure garments of palace women.
Indeed, one can argue that the present lot encapsulates a fantasy. Wu Hung presents evidence associating these paintings of imagined court ladies in Han dress with the feminised and sexualised landscape of China, now intimately known by the Manchu conquerors; see Wu Hung, 'Beyond Stereotypes: The Twelve Beauties in Qing Court Art and the Dream of the Red Chamber' in Ming and Qing Women and Literature, Stanford, 1997, pp.306-322. These fictional female possessions of the emperor surrounded him as did the real women of his harem. These pictures of women gathered - whether made for the Kangxi, Yongzheng or Qianlong emperors - are for the private pleasures of a Manchu emperor as mates or as lovely paintings open to his gaze. The present lot does not show the formalised traditional garb of the Manchu conquerors worn in official portraits, but rather the forbidden, softer gowns of the Chinese who now submit to the Manchu emperor's rule.
Despite elements of artistic fantasy, however, there are some aspects of the present lot and similar paintings, which act as visual and historical documents of unparalleled authenticity. The black lacquered and gilt-decorated weiqi boxes on the table for example, are typical of the mid 18th century; compare with a similar pair of black and gilt-lacquered weiqi boxes and covers, Qing dynasty, from the Qing Court Collection, illustrated in the Compendium of Collections of the Palace Museum: Jade, 9, Beijing, 2011, p.105, no.87.
The present lot is a remarkable example of court painting, revealing not only artistic conventions of the court but also perceptions about the women of the court, documenting their refined demeanour and fine costumes, as well as the negotiation of cultural and ethnic boundaries between Han and Manchu, and finally the fantasies of Manchu emperors.

REVIEW: Fangoria – Operación Vodevil (2011)
Jae Morgan June 17, 2015
Fangoria is a band in a class all its own. I was hesitant for the longest time to watch/listen to this album because I had seen so many other live versions of Fangoria and thought they were horrible live but after watching the DVD one weekend, I changed my mind on it.
Operacion Vodevil was a live concert filmed at a dinner theater location in Spain and it was filled with tons of fans that got up and danced and sang along with the band, which consisted of Alaska on vocals, Nacho Canut on an iPad and keyboards, Rafa Spunky who is Alaska's backup singer, and Ikerne Gímenez on guitar. Yeah, most of the music was pre-recorded and used from Nacho's iPad which was in front of him the whole time. Along with Alaska on stage was a team of dancers called, "Ballet Fantasía" – two females and two males. They changed outfits a lot and were similar to those old-time theater dances.
Part of the reason for this album was it celebrated 30 years of music together from Alaska Y Los Pegamoides, Dinarama, and Fangoria. The band released in 2010, the album "El paso trascendental del vodevil a la astracanada" which were remakes of their most popular hits with updated music that is similar to what Fangoria is releasing now. So it was inevitable that the band would tour singing all their popular hits.
As for the video, we all know that Alaska isn't a pretty woman but I have to say that after watching this video, I have so much more respect for her as an artist. She looked like she was having so much fun and that she didn't seem to take any of these seriously. It was a party and she was having a good time. I loved watching it. The video is longer than the CD. I think the video is a complete concert of 25 songs, while the CD only contains 17 songs.
Fangoria is a party band that produces great music and I can say that I really loved what they came out. The concert wasn't that elaborate but it didn't have to be to have fun with the blast to the past with their songs, old and new.

Judge Dismisses Nearly All Claims in Medtronic Stapler Case
by Erin Page
On Thursday, the Arizona District Court issued an order in a case against medical tech company Medtronic. The underlying complaint alleges regarding product liability resulting from a medical stapler incident during surgery on the plaintiff.
The judge granted a bid to strike expert testimony on a manufacture defect, and partially granted summary judgment, eliminating claims for negligent design, negligent manufacture, negligent failure to warn, and design defect, but retaining the claim for manufacture defect.
The plaintiff, per court documents, under went a gastric procedure to remove the stomach in 2017. As a part of this procedure, the surgeon attempted to use an EEAXL2535 single user model stapler to create an anastomosis (closure) and finish the surgery. The stapler fired properly, but no staples were deployed. The plaintiffs esophagus was torn during the deployment and the procedure had to be completed manually. In review of the product by the defendant, the manufacturer discovered there were no staples in the device and when staples were added, the device functioned correctly. As the stapler is marketed as a single use device with staples already loaded, the plaintiff claim was modified to allege that the stapler was incorrectly delivered without staples and was defective.
The expert witness, Dr. Adams, had testimony that included that it was expected that a single use stapler be loaded with staples, and the lack of staples in a single use stapler would be considered a manufacturing defect. The court held that the plaintiff did not argue that the witness was competent to opine that a lack of staples was a marketing defect and struck that testimony, but permitted the testimony that a surgeon would expect a single use stapler to be loaded with staples. The court acknowledged that "the theory of liability under implied warranty has been merged into the doctrine of strict liability" and merged the claims.
The court then reviewed the plaintiff's claims for negligent design, negligent manufacture, negligent failure to warn, and strict-liability design defect. The court held that the plaintiff had not produced any evidence that there was a failure in the design of the stapler, only in the fact that when assembled this particular stapler was not filled with staples, and the court dismissed both claims regarding design. Finally the court permitted the strict liability count, stating that the plaintiff had provided both a standard for the device as well as proof that the device had failed that standard, but the court dismissed the negligence count, stating that there was no allegation made by the plaintiff as to what the manufacturer had done negligently.

Athens Museum Hosts Scent-Based Antiquity Exhibition
'The Countless Aspects of Beauty' exhibition at the National Archaeological Museum of Athens | © National Archaeological Museum of Athens
When thinking about how to celebrate antiquity in a new exhibition, the National Archaeological Museum of Athens came up with an unlikely new offer: scent.
The new exhibition at the National Archaeological Museum was launched at the end of May 2018 to mark its 150th anniversary. In spite of its long history and fascinating permanent collection, it remains one of the more underrated places to visit and is often overshadowed by its flashier, modern sister, the Acropolis Museum. This new exhibition, in partnership with Greek beauty brand Korres, has the potential to change that.
Drawing on the rich natural aromas of ancient Greece, the museum has created a new exhibition dedicated to Ancient Greek beauty with scent as a core highlight. Working from information recorded about Aphrodite's beauty habits, the museum and Korres worked to recreate the goddess' perfume and aromas.
Helped in part by the work of Ancient Greek pharmacist Dioskourides, their research led them to use rose, coriander and sage as the base notes of the aroma, and ingredients were sourced from across Greece. The result is the scent of a truly historical collaboration.
This highlight offers an exciting crescendo to a four-part display. The exhibition is divided into themes that encompass 'Eternal aesthetics', 'The beautiful and the desirable', 'Focusing on the Body' and 'The endless quest'.
Each section invites visitors to understand further the nuances of ancient beauty regimes and approaches while also examining the transcendent aspects of beauty that are as relevant today as thousands of years ago. With almost 350 artefacts on display, the results are fascinating.
Throughout the course of the exhibition, the museum will offer workshops and talks by a range of individuals from across the scientific and creative spheres. The aim of these events is to further bring to life the techniques and craftsmanship that contributed to the creation of some of the most beautiful objects left over from Ancient Greek civilisation.
Indeed, the key to the exhibition is the examination of beauty as it relates to taste and aesthetics, beyond the individual's look. One need only to look at the intricate embroidery of Mycenaean costumes, how colourful ancient Greek sculptures were, the ornateness of jewellery and colourful ceramics to understand that upholding standards of beauty was paramount in Ancient Greek civilisation.
The beauty of Greece has long inspired creatives from around the world, and this new exhibition at the Archaeological Museum allows audiences to look inwards at the long legacy of beauty in Greece, rather than simply showing how the country has inspired others.
Afterwards, one need only walk through the trendy restaurants and bars of Exarchia and towards Lycabettus Hill or through Omonia Square towards the Acropolis to appreciate the value that beauty continues to have in Greece today.

Center is also home to the Rosebud, an 1881 Northern Pacific Superintendent's Car. Displays on the railroad and area history, including the ND Agricultural Hall of Fame, are found within, along with information on the many attractions found along the byway.
This marked site, called Inyan Bosendata by Sioux Indians who consider it sacred, is home to a rock, four feet tall and shaped like an inverted cone, which stands on a complex of prehistoric burial mounds dating from the Woodland Period (A.D. 0-1400).
North Dakota's homesteading heritage is preserved at Fort Ransom State Park. The park, nestled in the picturesque and heavily-wooded Sheyenne River Valley, is managed as a natural and scenic area. A farmstead within the park provides the setting for annual Sodbuster Days celebrations, with demonstrations and exhibits of early homesteading life. Snowmobiling and cross-country skiing are the major winter activities.
This interpretive site marks the location of a 200-man military post built in 1867. Although building locations and the dry moat, once eight feet deep, are still clearly discernible, nothing else remains of the original fort or its 12-foot sod and log stockade.

Fears Fox River clean up could be 'undone' by looming spring rainfall
The ongoing coastal clean-up at the West Coast's Fox River has more than 100 people on the ground as efforts increase before spring rainfall arrives.
Dozens of Defence Force personnel and volunteers are involved in the clean-up effort. Source: 1 NEWS
Up to 70 New Zealand Defence Force personnel have joined the clean up today, taking efforts to a record high.
It comes almost four months after the Fox River landfill was washed out in raging flood waters.
Volunteers are trying to clean up decades of rubbish after a huge storm washed a landfill down a world heritage site on the West Coast. Source: Sunday
Department of Conservation operations manager, Ian Graham, says there is a lot of rubbish, covering a huge area.
"I did get asked the question about how I stay positive and it's tough to stay positive, but with 150 people on the ground you come out here with a smile each day and I feed off that," he says.
Last month DOC took over the clean up project dubbed "Operation Tidy Fox," and they're starting to see progress.
"The total area of the worst affected area is the equivalent of about 550 rugby fields so we've cleaned about half of that now," says DOC incident controller, Owen Kilgour.
The Defence Force will support DOC over the next month and will also work alongside volunteers.
Rodger Millard is a Fox local, he's been at the scene since day one.
"We stood on the bridge and watched it all come down underneath the bridge and four months later we're still picking it up," he says.
So far, the estimated cost of the clean up is around a $750,000, with army trucks helping minimise the cost of logistics.
As well as having NZDF on the ground. they've also brought their light military vehicles with them, which means they can easily transport volunteers from Fox Glacier out to the location and also reach areas that until now have been inaccessible.
But DOC is concerned that if the worst affected areas aren't cleared by September, when major rainfall is expected, it could undo all the work so far.
Mr Graham says the rains will move rubbish around the river which he says is "really active" and moves from channel to channel.


The introduction of targeted cancer drugs fulfilled the promise of personalized (precision) medicine, offering great benefit to some patients, great expense to others. Martell was organized to launch the next paradigm—how best to manage precision treatments. This can be accomplished with inexpensive blood tests that quickly document drug efficacy, remission and recurrence. We consider our mission de-escalation: less medication, less cost, a better quality of life.
It's been 22 years now, yet every morning I wake up, feel the tingling and wonder, maybe just for a few seconds.
Metastatic breast cancer is now considered a chronic condition with effective treatments that in many ways allow women to lead a normal or near normal life. Yet, many women live with the fear that their cancer may no longer be responding to medication or the disease has flared in advance of overt clinical symptoms. We believe that a simple blood test can effectively monitor medication and help detect recurrences of HER2 tumors. Plus, monitoring helps to reduce anxiety. Therein lies the value of HERTEST for women with metastatic HER2 tumors—the possibility of real-time, actionable information and additional peace of mind.
The PD-1/PD-L1 axis is an important mechanism often regulating tumor growth. Recognition has led to the introduction of new drugs called checkpoint inhibitors. Sometimes spectacular, always expensive, treatment could be better managed with a monitoring blood test. Martell is introducing CHECKMARK with the hope it will fulfill that need.
Available as Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) to hospitals and clinics.
The board of directors is pleased to announced Dr. Steven P. Stoesz as President and Chief Operating Officer, and Frank R. McEvoy as Chief Financial Officer. Anthony Wlazlow, Ph.D., has also joined Martell as head of Product Development.
The Company will support a Phase II clinical trial of a new anti-HER2 drug combination.
Jessica will be running our ELISA tests under the supervision of our Laboratory Manager and pathologist Laboratory Director.

TECH-TIPS
Ransomware History And How To use Them
Here are some of the most interesting cases of cyber criminals threatening digital data, affecting organizations all over the world:
Bitdefender suffered severe data loss due to ransomware
Notorious for its extensive campaigns targeting several countries, including the U.K., Russia, and the U.S., cybercriminals associated with the hacking collective known as The Shadow Brokers released a DDoS attack targeting the heavily protected Bitdefender security product in early September.
Losing access to Bitdefender's antimalware product was a devastating blow for researchers behind all of the company's highly visible projects, which drive millions of dollars above and beyond the usual average. The Shadow Brokers included images taken from the Bitdefender security product showing one of the ransom notes referencing an attack on the DNS provider Constant Contact. According to security firms ESET and TrendMicro, a total of 34 server computers were hit in the DDoS attack. The service provider's DNS servers were reportedly hit with over 200 billion DNS lookups.
As part of the attack, cybercriminals also uploaded a new version of CRAW.L containing exploits for popular antivirus software products to distribute.
While the attack affected approximately 14,000 Bitdefender domain servers, a large portion of the affected traffic returned to normal as soon as the affected domains were re-taken down by DNS providers. The company's 20,000 employees were never at risk as network operations were already in place to isolate any potential infections once individual sites were brought back into service.
It's not known how much money The Shadow Brokers made off their attack, but the story of its release is undoubtedly an influential one for those who campaign to encrypt client data and have strict policies in place to ensure server security. While it's not unusual for malware to move on to other targets after its initial infection, threats like Bitdefender's are significant as the company had made several large investments for server security.
WannaEncrypt dropped several files on Stan's desk
While the vast majority of cybercriminals attack primarily PC users, organizations that use WannaEncrypt as part of their strategy may be at higher risk than others due to the highly targeted nature of this campaign.
Launched on May 19, WannaEncrypt encrypts any websites visited with a service cookie before passing the information to the site's owner allowing for URLs to be decrypted. The initiative culminated in the first-ever successful code release by the WannaEncrypt team, corresponding with the release of its "Welcome Wall" website on May 28.
Anecdotal evidence continues to trickle in of WannaEncrypt encrypting sites while other equally secure websites are left unencrypted.
Safely deploying software to protect data is for both a doctor and a nurse, as it is important to have a backup plan in place at all times. Oftentimes, companies receive reports of infections and then take immediate action because of the potential harm to those affected. When cybercriminals have infected sensitive information, the response of the business can be left in limbo, or it could become increasingly expensive to restore the data after the attack is over.
In this blog post, I recommend a few steps, tips, and recommendations for how businesses can minimize the impact of these types of attacks.
What is Ransomware?
Simply put, ransomware is a type of malware where criminals encrypt files on a computer until a specified deadline, at which point the files are usually put back online and what is left behind is a decoy. Ransomware aims to extort money from the victim, but of course, it doesn't stop there. Ransomware also affects the neighbors around the affected PC, and it affects the entire network as well. Malware can also affect important infrastructures like hospitals or government agencies.
Why are some victims hit harder than others?
It is very hard to know what type of malware is responsible for a certain infection, but luckily, it's relatively easy to reverse the effect of the ransomware. For each type of ransomware, there are specific ways to recover from the attack, but there are also other factors to take into consideration in addition to what data was affected.
Types of Ransomware
The first thing to understand when this type of malware hits your organization is that there are different types of ransomware. There is the "On the Fly" Ransomware, where the main threat is that the malware will have the computer on autopilot until someone pays a ransom. Ransomware is also known as "On Crap" or "On the Brink of Death." Yes, these types of attacks CAN work. However, they are a different breed of malware.
The "Abandoned" Ransomware has been one of the most prevalent types of malware since its widespread adoption, mainly due to Internet users' willingness to pay ransom for "lost" files. This type of ransomware is fought by anti-virus software directed at malware droppers, the optimized infection of which will stop the malware from spreading via normal HTML emails. If looking at the ransom note left behind after a successful attack by the Abandoned Ransomware crew, you can see that this type of malware tries to check for any file MD5 or Hashed passwords and encrypt or delete to a new one.
And while it's still unclear exactly how ransomware works, it doesn't appear to be much of a mystery in terms of its roots. While traditional ransomware prioritizes encrypting files, new strains such as the Carbanak ransomware target PCs by encrypting boot disks and locking them until a user complies with a series of demands.
To do this, the malware encrypts a PC's volatile boot sector, wiping it clean and chaining it to prevent future boot jumps, the very process which keeps PCs bootable in the first place. This prevents affected PCs from ever loading, essential software such as Office and Adobe applications, or even simply performing basic tasks such as starting a web browser.
Why would cyber criminals carry out such a procedure now?
According to security firm Bitdefender, Carbanak ransomware encrypts an average of 230,000 systems worldwide per month — around 15% of all computers hit by the malware. Therefore, crippling around 15% of all existing PCs around the globe appears a not insignificant target.
Whether Carbanak ransomware uses this technique to handle threats on its own is unknown, but past instances have suggested it does. For instance, we recently observed a computer network impacted by a similar strain of ransomware, but which was again encrypted and chained to prevent further boot jumps and restore files when payments were made.
Because both Bitdefender and Korn Ferry have observed remote PC losses after encrypting devices, we speculated that this may be a method used in these new instances, whereby the malware encrypts boot media and continuously chains to prevent the PC from ever loading.
What can be done if you are affected?
Fortunately, regardless of the individual impact of the ransomware on your PC, you can prevent it. Here in the realm of malware and viruses, there are a few obvious ways to defend yourself:
Make sure your computer and its drivers remain up-to-date by visiting the Microsoft Download Center. If you haven't already done so, download updates from here so that your PC can stay malware-free.
Use antivirus software to catch such infections immediately. You can install security updates directly from the Microsoft Download Center or download the latest security patches from the Update Center. You can use McAfee Internet Security currently for free. Or, next month, Cyber Security could be a paid offering.
Use a security product for data encryption. Bitdefender is pre-installed on many computers, as well as on some tablets and smartphones. Those targeted by ransomware might also benefit from a product known as UltraPrivacy.

dc.description.abstract The main impetus of this research was to assess the role of infectious disease, particularly malaria, on the success of human settlement in the prehistoric Pacific Islands. A significant difference in the disease environments of the Pacific Islands is the presence of malaria in most of Melanesia and its absence in Polynesia. This research is the first attempt to assess the impact of malaria on the health of prehistoric Pacific Islanders. The materials used were two samples of human skeletal remains from different regions of the Pacific Islands; one from Taumako, an island in the malarial zone of the Solomon Islands, Melanesia and one from Tongatapu, the Kingdom of Tonga, Polynesia where malaria has always been absent. The objectives of this research were to record several different parameters of health and disease in these samples. Firstly, the demographic profile of each population was compiled to test whether the mortality rates of the Taumako people may have been affected by the presence of malaria. Secondly, non-specific indicators of growth disruption in dental material were recorded to assess whether levels of childhood stress were greater at Taumako. The stature of adults was also compared between Taumako and Tonga as a measure of the individual ability to achieve a genetic potential for growth. Finally, the skeletal indicators of iron deficiency anaemia and infectious disease were recorded to test whether the prevalence of disease differed and whether these differences may be attributed to malaria. The results of the analyses of these parameters of health and disease showed significantly higher prevalences of prenatal and childhood growth disturbance at Taumako compared to Tonga. The stature of adults was similar between the two regions but the range of heights was greater at Taumako. Similarly, a higher prevalence and more severe expression of iron-deficiency anaemia and significantly more proliferative skeletal lesions were found at Taumako. However, a significantly greater number of subadults were affected with postcranial proliferative lesions at Tonga than Taumako, although, the affected children were older at Tonga. The mortality rates of the two populations were similar, although males were more vulnerable to early death than females at Taumako. A differential diagnosis proposed that endemic yaws was the most likely infectious disease causing the skeletal lesions at Taumako; while at Tonga a more non-specific pattern of disease was proposed. The possibility of multiple causes for the skeletal lesions was also proposed for some individuals at both sites. The discussion of the results found they were consistent with the premise that the presence of malaria in Melanesia may have caused chronic growth disturbance and exacerbated the expression of anaemia and infectious disease in prehistory. However, it is also argued that differences in diet may have had an equally strong role in the observed patterns of health and disease. In conclusion, the results of this research did not unequivocally demonstrate the role of malaria on the health of prehistoric populations. However, this study is an initial step in the investigation of the impact of malaria on human populations, while not excluding other factors such as diet. en_NZ

Now that was much better wasn't it? Swindon put an end to their losing streak and banished any talk of an apparent 'crisis' in style with an impressive 5-2 victory over Port Vale that sent out a clear reminder, if one were needed, that Town mean business this season and that they should be regarded as serious contenders for a play-off place.
Dugout melees, stunning goals and the return of the free-flowing attacking football we have come to relish at the County Ground this campaign were all defining features in a game that was rather, well barmy to be completely honest. With a cagey and tight first half handing Town a narrow 1-0 lead I don't think anyone, myself included, would have quite predicted how the second 45 minutes would unfold. But it was to be a 45 minutes that would provide drama and entertainment in abundance, another display of dazzling football and a catalogue of stunning goals to add to the vast collection we have been treated to already this season.
Nathan Byrne scored the pick of the afternoon's goals with a sublime curling effort that whistled into the top corner which summed up the overall quality of Town's attacking play. Goal of the season contender perhaps?
In addition to stunning goals there were also some sparkling individual displays with Dany N'Guessan, Massimo Luongo and Jay McEveley all putting in strong claims for the man-of-the-match award. N'Guessan walked home with the sponsor's award and also got my vote after putting in a sensational, all-action display. The former Millwall man was a constant thorn in Vale's side claiming his sixth goal of the season and laying on a delicious ball for Nile Ranger to thump home. It was without a doubt the striker's best display in a Town shirt to date and he is proving to be a very shrewd signing.
Massimo Luongo also put in his best performance in a few games and proved that he does pose a considerable threat in front of goal with a well taken brace, with his second effort being the pick of the two. Jay McEveley deserved his share of the plaudits too however after putting in a faultless display, with the exception of two free-kicks that are probably still posing a threat to the houses in Shrivenham Road. Jay came in for some unfair criticism at the start of the season but in my opinion has been one of Town's most improved performers.
Lee Hughes provided the game's drama after launching himself at goalkeeping coach Fraser Digby in an attempt to retrieve the ball but after seeing a few pictures and hearing one or two accounts I think Mr Hughes was a very lucky boy to have escaped only with a yellow card.
This Saturday sees the return of FA Cup action for Town and a chance for Mark Cooper's side to avenge last season's humiliation at the same stage when Paolo Di Canio was still in charge as they travel up north to take on Macclesfield. Swindon are of course a much changed outfit from last season and while Macclesfield will provide a stern examination I am confident that Town can extend their FA Cup adventure this time around.
Next Tuesday sees the arrival of Wycombe to the County Ground in the Area Quarter Finals of the JPT and hopefully by the end of the evening's proceedings we can be celebrating safe passage into the Area Semi-Finals and hopefully another crack at a potential Wembley trip.
That is a lot of words to say not very much.
as usual an interesting read.


Aside from being elected mayor, there's one other little-known way to get to run a town: Buy it. Think it's impossible? The "For Sale" signs on a number of great American municipalities prove otherwise. Just take a gander at these 11 entire towns you can buy and find out just how deep your pockets need to be to claim one of them for yourself.
Founded in 1802, this former mill town and tourist hot spot was all but abandoned by the mid-1990s. In a bid to rescue the peaceful community and reopen its shuttered buildings, an independent church acquired the ghost town this past July for roughly $1.9 million.
You might need your reading glasses to find this 2.3-square-mile desert hamlet on a map of Nevada. But the tiny town––which is home to a casino, airstrip, and classic diner–– has been up for grabs since 2016 for $8 million.
Tiller, Oregon, has easy access to a national forest, stunning views of the South Umpqua River, and a larger-than-life view of the Cascade Range. The natural treasures of this abandoned 256-acre Pacific Northwest haunt can be yours for a mere $3.85 million.
Don't be fooled by the name. Hell, Michigan, is a veritable paradise that hosts 66 miles of hiking trails, fishing-friendly Hiland Lake, and an annual "Blessing of the Bikes" event. The peculiarly named town comes with a price tag of $900,000.
You'll need more than a prayer to nab the rights to this tiny town north of Yellowstone National Park. The five-acre community encompasses a mobile home park, a general store, and an office building––and it's on the market for $1.4 million.
If the eerily quiet, tree-lined streets of this Carolina town look familiar, it's because the formerly abandoned community served as the location of Katniss Everdeen's home in "The Hunger Games" film franchise. But fame comes at a cost—specifically $1.4 million, the 72-acre town's current asking price.
Founded in the 18th century, this postcard-worthy former railway town boasts a historic inn, a syrup mill, and a railroad depot. But there's no need to pick up a postcard to preserve your memory of the idyllic municipality with 700 inhabitants; you can buy it outright from the developer, who put it up for sale in 2012.
Attention history buffs! You can stake your claim on the same turf where Colonel George Armstrong Custer unsuccessfully made his last stand against the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes. Garryowen, Montana, the site of the Sioux War's Battle of Little Bighorn, can be yours for just $250,000.
Named after its spectacular setting in the center of Badlands National Park, Scenic fell into disrepair in the 21st century before it was finally put up for sale in 2011 for $799,000. The 12-acre town still bears intriguing vestiges of decades past, including an old saloon, a dance hall, and cowboy barracks.
Paying a visit to this all-but-forgotten town north of the Rockies will double its population. If you want to make the town's gas station and town hall your own and provide permanent company for the area's sole resident, consider making an inquiry with the current owner, who purchased the town for $900,000 in 2012.
The only home standing on this six-acre town on the southern border of South Dakota is said to be haunted. But if you find ghost tales thrilling, you can pick up the title to the land for a mere $250,000.

Paul Wheelock column: Ryan Tunnicliffe has given Blackburn Rovers boss tough decision
By Paul Wheelock
Ryan Tunnicliffe on his Blackburn Rovers debut at home to Wigan
WITH Jason Steele and Shane Duffy having made such accomplished full debuts in the win at Fulham, it's almost been forgotten just how effective Rovers' other deadline day recruit was on his last appearance for the club.
If there was a catalyst for the brave but ultimately unsuccessful late rally in last Wednesday's defeat to Derby, then it was the arrival of Ryan Tunnicliffe from the bench.
Up until that point the Rams had run the show.
But, as good as Steve McClaren's side were for the first 60 minutes, in part they were allowed to.
With Will Hughes and Jamie Ward swanning around as if they owned the place, it was disappointing that, in that first hour in particular, Rovers did not pick up a single booking.
That's not to condone foul play.
But it was not until Tunnicliffe came on that Rovers started to get in Derby's faces.
The on-loan Fulham midfielder picked up the tempo immediately, got stuck in, and passed the ball diligently too.
It was a promising cameo and a shame, then, that he was ineligible to face his parent club Fulham on Saturday.
As it transpired, more so for Tunnicliffe himself, as Rovers ground out the sort of ugly away victory that was to be commended no matter the circumstances surrounding it.
Lee Williamson and Tom Cairney went off injured in the feisty affair and both face a race to be fit for Saturday's visit of Watford to Ewood Park. Should they fail to make it, Craig Conway and Chris Taylor would have every reason to feel hard done by if their energetic performances from the bench were not rewarded with places in Gary Bowyer's starting line-up on Saturday.
That said Tunnicliffe had already made a strong case for his first start and so it leaves Rovers boss Bowyer with the type of selection poser that he would have been unable to ponder pre-September 1.
But no matter who gets the nod this weekend, the aim simply has to be a second successive league win for the first time this season.
Doing that would break a sequence of results which reads DWLWLWLW. Symmetry suggests, then, that we will have to settle for a draw, at best, with Watford.
But having banished the notion they cannot keep clean sheets by shutting out a revitalised albeit 10-man Fulham team, now is the time for Rovers to start showing the sort of consistency that has so far eluded them this season.
And the sort of consistency that will be key to whether they finish in the top six or not.


In this episode I talk about the importance of always keeping extra materials on you and building a job in your mind so you're not wasting time driving back and forth to Home Depot or a nearby supply house.
Having to leave a job and spend an hour driving around hunting down materials means you didn't plan well, and it can cost you big time when it comes to finishing jobs under hours as well as ensuring you can get on to the next job without running late.
Some of the best electricians I've ever seen have been guys that take time before a job to investigate every move and identify every problem they may run into before they even line their guys out on a task for the day. I've been told by the best "if you can beat a job with a pencil, you can beat every company in town."

North American Plains warrior shirt made to honour the warrior's victories. Its decoration reveals his life as a warrior living on the Great Plains of North America. Such shirts would be worn on special occasions only by men in authority or those who had distinguished themselves in battle. The painted figures represent the many enemies that this warrior overpowered and the hoof prints symbolise the horses that he captured and distributed amongst his people. The warrior himself is also painted on the shirt wearing a red and black military sash. His faint footprints walk over the chests of the enemies who are carrying guns, knives and tomahawks. Successful warriors like the owner of this shirt were believed to have strong connections to the spirit world which would have helped them perform their brave deeds. Shirt is made of deer skin decorated with quillwork, pony beads and drawing which illustrates the shirt owner's war record. Both sleeves are edged with human hair tassels and have illustrations of horse tracks indicating raids for horses on enemy tribes. Under the left sleeve, it has additional illustration of five horse whips hidden under. Near the collar, there are crescent shaped motifs which appear to be painted with overlapping layers of red and blue pigments outlined by pony beads (some have fallen off). The shirt edges are fringed and tinted in red while the upper torso area on both sides is stained blue. On the lower back area, there is illustration of a series of human figures with the 'hero' on the right. His footprints pass over eight other figures reflecting victories over enemies. There are also four similar sequences on the lower front area. On two of these sequences, one figure wears a black and red trade cloth military sash. There is a total of 22 defeated men and possibly one woman carrying weapons of bows and arrows, flintlock, musket, rifle, stock war clubs and tomahawk. The shirt was collected by 2nd Baron of Wharncliffe on his visit to America in 1824.

Q: How to get the constraint name from unique key exception thrown by SQL Server in ASP.NET MVC 5 With a few columns I created a composite unique key. I want to get those column name from the exception that is thrown by SQL Server.
I tried this one but it does not work.
catch (DbUpdateException ex)
            {
                if (ex.InnerException != null && ex.InnerException is SqlException sqlEx)
                {
                    if (sqlEx.Number == 2601)
                    {
                        // Extract the constraint name from the error message
                        string constraintName = sqlEx.Message.Substring(sqlEx.Message.IndexOf("'") + 1);
                        constraintName = constraintName.Substring(0, constraintName.IndexOf("'"));

                        // Show the constraint name to the user
                        Console.WriteLine($"Violation of unique constraint: {constraintName}");
                    }
                }
            }

A: As mentioned in the comments, you are catching the wrong message number
if (sqlEx.Number == 2627)

To retrieve the column names for the constraint, you can use the system views.
List<string> GetConstraintColumns(string constraintName)
{
    var list = new List<string>();

    const string query @"
SELECT c.name
FROM sys.key_constraints kc
JOIN sys.indexes i ON i.object_id = kc.parent_object_id AND i.index_id = kc.unique_index_id
JOIN sys.index_columns ic ON ic.object_id = i.object_id AND ic.index_id = i.index_id
JOIN sys.columns c ON c.object_id = i.object_id AND c.column_id = ic.column_id
WHERE kc.name = @constraintName;
";

    using (var conn = new SqlConnection(YourConnString))
    using (var comm = new SqlCommand(query, conn))
    {
        comm.Parameters.Add("@constraintName", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 128).Value = constraintName;
        using (var reader = comm.ExecuteReader())
            while (reader.Read())
                list.Add((string) reader["name"]);
    }
    return list;
}

I would advise you to cache this data in some fashion, as it is unlikely to change over the lifetime of the application. You could remove the parameter and the WHERE clause, and store the results in a Dictionary<string, List<string>>.

Note that this does not help you for a unique index (as opposed to unique constraint), which would have been your original Message 2601. For that you would need to parse both the table name and the index name, and compare with sys.tables and sys.indexes as opposed to sys.key_constraints.

A grand jury has indicted two suspects tied to a deadly drug-related shooting outside a Greenville County Bojangles' in 2016.
William Zachary Newton, 22, and Trevonte Antonio Watts, 22, both face charges of murder, attempted murder, attempted armed robbery, possession of a stolen firearm and possession of a weapon during a violent crime in connection to the shooting on Jan. 30, 2016.
A 15-year-old girl and 16-year-old girl at the time were also charged in connection to the killing but were not identified because of their ages.

A Greenville County grand jury convened July 31 and returned true bill indictments on each of Watts' and Newton's charges. Indictments are handed down when the grand jury believes there is enough evidence for the charges to proceed to trial.
Savon Jair Allen, 19, of Harris Lane in Greenville, was in the passenger seat of a pickup truck when he was fatally shot in the parking lot of the restaurant.
Investigators have said the shooting stemmed from a drug-related robbery attempt outside the Bojangles at 801 E. Butler Road. During the botched robbery, gunfire was exchanged. Allen was shot in the head, the driver of the pickup was shot in the hand, and Watts was shot in the arm.

Indictments state that Watts and Newton were armed with deadly weapons when they attempted to "take by means of force or intimidation, goods or monies from the person."
Newton was in possession of a High Point Model C-9 semi-automatic 9 mm pistol. Watts was in possession of a Palmetto Arms AR-15 rifle. Both firearms had their serial numbers removed, according to indictments.
Charles Propst Jr., a Greenville County public defender representing Watts and Newton, could not be immediately reached for comment.

Q: Hyperledger Fabric Endorsement Logic I understand that we can set the endorsement policy by executing peer chaincode instantiate -C <channelid> -n mycc -p "AND('Org1.member', 'Org2.member')"
But where can we set an algorithm that states what transactions Org1.member signs as valid? Where does it make the decision to say yes or no on the decision?
Is it correct to assume when a chaincode execution fails, that's where a peer will sign the transaction as invalid?
For instance, if I want Org1.member to sign a transaction as valid only whenx ==1, would I put in the chaincode if x != 1; return shim.Error()?
Would that be the standard way of using endorsement logic?

A: The default endorsement logic is quite simple:   if the chaincode executes successfully (meaning the invoked chaincode function does not return an error), then the peer will sign the proposalResponse.

3 Influential Construction Supply Brands
Kasım 24, 2021 Mayıs 6, 2021 Yazarı: supply
In this article we will be profiling 3 construction supply brands. We'll explore how they've shaped the industry, what they make or sell and who their current competitors are.
What Makes a Construction Supply Influential?
1. Hardies
2. Armstrong
3. Owens Corning
In order to identify the most influential construction supply brands, we need to define what makes such a brand "influential", according to our own criteria. We've tried to keep things objective, using quantitative data as much as possible. We'll try and discover which companies are the biggest (by revenue and market capitalization), which are the leaders of their categories and which are considered "global players".
We've also tried to apply more qualitative research methods, exploring how people feel about certain brands and how well they fit into our mental model of a construction supply company. This will hopefully give us an insight into how we perceive these companies, what they mean to us, and generally help us understand ourselves better.
Here 's our complete list of the 3 most influential construction supply brands. The rankings are based on our research, and are in no particular order:
Hardies is one of the most well-known brands in the building materials industry. It's been around for more than a century and generates about $1.6 billion in sales annually. The company is headquartered in Sydney, Australia, and has a wide range of products that can be used on every construction site. Hardie uses a number of different subsidiaries to supply its customers: for instance, it owns and operates its own Australian production facility (see below), but also licenses its brand to others. This has allowed Hardie to build a niche market mainly in Australia where it enjoys strong brand recognition and high profit margins: the average price per unit sold is 49% higher than it is for other companies on the market. The company has a 4 star rating (out of 5) for its corporate governance and a 5 star rating for its social performance.
Hardie produces a wide range of products, selling them to both professional contractors and DIYers. Its products fall into four product groups:
– Windows and Doors
– Building Products for the External Envelope, such as Roofing, Cladding and Facades.
– Wall Systems and Insulation products
– Interior Products such as Timber Floors, Trim Materials and Doors.
Hardie has become very specialized in the building materials sector, but it is unable to capitalize fully on this specialization since it's represented by only one line in the S&P/ASX50. This has been a limiting factor on its growth. For instance, Hardie's sales per square foot are significantly higher than those of other construction supply companies (more than twice as much), but this is still below industry averages. On the positive side, Hardie has been able to grow earnings per share (EPS) from between -3% and 25% over the past 5 years.
Armstrong is often referred to as the world's biggest flooring manufacturer. The company has been around for more than a century, and its products are sold in more than 30 countries. Armstrong produces about $3.7 billion of sales annually, and it has become a market leader purely through organic growth, since it is known for being almost completely vertically integrated. Every single part of the production process takes place within Armstrong's own facilities or those of its subsidiaries: this means that all raw materials are purchased from producers that Armstrong owns (or it licenses) directly, while the final sale to the end customer occurs through Armstrong's network of retailers and distributors. Armstrong's reputation is strong enough that many producers are willing to license its brand.
Armstrong produces a wide range of products, selling them to both professional contractors and DIYers. Its products fall into four product groups:
– Flooring (including premade laminate, hardwood and engineered flooring).
– decking, railing and stairs (decking only).
– wall systems (excluding construction facades).
– carpet tiles.
Owens Corning is the largest producer of fiberglass insulation in the world. It's been around for more than a century, and it has more than 40,000 employees in 26 countries. OCL is a very powerful brand with a long history that presents itself as an environmentally responsible company. The company has been expanding its business segment by acquiring competitors: for instance, it bought the insulation division of BP in 2009 and became one of the major players on this market. OCL's subsidiaries also operate in a wide range of other product categories. Owens Corning is one of the most innovative companies on its market, as it is constantly innovating to create easier and more eco-friendly products: it uses recycled materials to make its fiberglass insulation and is actively promoting green building techniques such as using recycled water for irrigation. The company's reputation is strong enough that some producers have decided to branch out from just selling fiberglass insulation and exclusively use Owens Corning products for their projects.

Benefit for Women in Law Enforcement
STROUD TOWNSHIP — The Original Pocono Pub and Grill in Stroud Township is gearing up for a busy weekend.
The bar will host its first Women in Law Enforcement benefit.
Money raised will go toward training for women who protect and serve, women such as Monroe County Detective Kim Lippincott.
"It gives women a chance to kind of get together. We face a lot of different challenges than men face, so it's nice for us to let loose and learn and get trained in something specific to women," said Det. Kim Lippincott, Monroe County DA's Office.
The Mid-Atlantic Association of Women in Law Enforcement Conference takes place every year. This spring will be the first time its hosted in the Poconos at Camelback Mountain Resort near Tannersville.
Women will learn everything from shooting tactics to planning the future of their careers.
"We are certainly outnumbered in the law enforcement community. So, for women to be able to have training specific to them, it's just things that guys don't think about, you know? Many female officers out there are trying to start a family. How do you do that? You can't be tackling bad guys and having a baby, you know, so things like that that women deal with that men just don't deal with," said Det. Lippincott.
Originally, the manager at Pocono Pub was only going to give a donation but decided he wanted to do more.
"We are big on giving back to the community and law enforcement. We are able to do much more. We are blessed that way. We are very blessed," said Stephen Bongiovanni, The Original Pocono Pub and Grill.
Detective Lippincott says the goal is to raise about $5,000 to help with the cost of the conference.
Live music, food, drinks and more are all on the menu for the benefit.
"You know we just came in here asking for a donation and Steve the owner was willing to bend over backwards for us and really help us out," said Det. Lippincott.
The benefit starts at noon on Sunday and the $20 at the door will help support the women in law enforcement.

Suede asked Jake & Ellwood Blues to handle this post...but they have the same problem she does - no opposable thumbs, so again I will take dictation.
We wanted to let you know that the Pedigree Adoption Drive Blog Hop, which ended September 19, was a success with over 400 bloggers posting about the drive to feed the 4million sheltered dogs. Pedigree is donating a 20 pound bag of Healthy Longevity Food for Dogs for every blogger who participated in the blog hop. But the giving doesn't end there.
Even if you are not a blogger or didn't participate in the blog hop, you can still help feed sheltered dogs. Between now and December 31, 2010 for every person who "fans" or "likes" the Pedigree Adoption Drive on Facebook, Pedigree will donate one bowl of food to selected shelters. Then share this on Twitter by using the hashtag #dogsrule so we all know that you clicked to feed a dog and that you are encouraging others to do the same.
Click that button and let Pedigree know you "like" them by becoming a "fan" on Facebook.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I am glad to know that you are interested in animal-related content. I will definitely follow you on Twitter also.
I think this is a great program because it really is so simple...and since so many dogs need food...it's a great way to feed them.

Biografia
Durante la seconda guerra mondiale, von Thüngen servi sul fronte orientale tra il 1942 e il 1943 con la 18. Panzer-Division, e il 6 aprile 1943 fu decorato con la croce di cavaliere della Croce di ferro.

Il 20 luglio 1944 fu designato dai cospiratori ai danni di Hitler come comandante del 3º gruppo di difesa di Berlino come successore all'arrestato generale Joachim von Kortzfleisch ma non seguì gli ordini dei cospiratori e in seguito prese parte all'interrogatorio del maggiore Hans-Ulrich von Oertzen un sostenitore del colpo di stato del luglio 1944 sotto il suo comando.

Fu tuttavia arrestato ugualmente dalla Gestapo e congedato dall'esercito dalla corte d'onore e posto sotto processo dal Tribunale del Popolo, al quale in seguito fu condannato a morte dal giudice Roland Freisler il 5 ottobre 1944 e poi fucilato nella prigione Görden di Brandeburgo sulla Havel il 24 ottobre 1944.
