With the unique advantages of Bitcoin (decentralization, encryption, rapid appreciation if you time it right) also come unique challenges. Whereas traditional currencies could be stored in banks or kept in your wallet for quick access, the codes that represent ownership of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies must be kept somewhere where they are safe not only from physical misappropriation but from digital theft as well. That means a Bitcoin wallet is necessary. The best wallets are cheap or free to use, mobile, user-friendly, and convenient—but most importantly, they're safe. Here are six of the most secure Bitcoin wallets Bitcoin can buy.
This is one of the coolest hardware wallets on the market. With a hardware wallet, you can store your cryptocurrency in a physical object. While online exchanges and wallets are vulnerable to hacking or other issues, a hardware wallet remains safe as long as you keep it in your possession, and Trezor's is equipped with numerous features that make it even safer than other hardware wallets. It's always accessible to you via a personal 12-24 word recovery seed. This seed is generated by the wallet and is unique to you. You can choose from the Trezor One, which supports over 500 coins, or the more deluxe Model T.
This multi-platform, multi-currency digital asset wallet is 100% free and supports more than 70 altcoins, so even if you're a diversified investor, chances are it'll be able to store your coins. Jaxx Liberty is available for Android, iOS, and Google Chrome, and they're working on desktop versions for the Mac and PC. You're the only one who will have control of your private keys, as Jaxx neither stores nor has access to them.
This popular wallet can integrate with hardware versions for added security and can be used with the Tor browser for complete anonymity. It's fast and lightweight, and won't slow down your phone or computer, and has been around for a few years, building a reputation for reliability and security.
Despite only having support for Bitcoin and Ethereum, this online wallet is one of the most popular out there. That's probably because it's tied to the tremendously popular crypto exchange Coinbase. It's a "hot wallet" because you can use it to interface with the exchange directly, and make purchases using fiat currency in the same interface. To make the wallet more secure, you can turn on 2-Step Verification and Google Authenticator, and the more paranoid might opt for the vault option.
This is one of the rare hardware wallets that lets you execute exchanges directly on the wallet, using a technology called ShapeShift. It's PIN protected, has an OLED display, and has a restoration system similar to the Trezor's, with a twelve word seed. And the anodized aluminium case is genuinely cool to look at and hold.
You need to ensure your private keys are stored safely! The wallets above have their advantages and disadvantages, but all of them are secure and can help you keep your Bitcoins out of the prying hands of hackers.

5G Security Standardisation and Knowledge Base
Nov 11 2021, 1:00pm UTC
Carlos Valderrama, Senior Cybersecurity Advisor at Huawei
As Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) around the globe introduce and launch 5G systems, communications networks will face new security threats and challenges. Understanding, mapping and mitigating these existing and upcoming security threats in an objective, speedy and effective manner has become essential. During this webinar we will drive the audience through Huawei's product security baseline, which satisfies the security requirements of the current 5G product security evaluation based on NESAS (Network Equipment Security Assurance Scheme) as well as the recently created 5G Security Knowledge Base published by GSMA, which includes the industry-consensus threat map, mitigation strategies and measures for different roles, and standards and best practices. With the full use of these suggestions and references coming from 5G Security Knowledge Base, 5G network security is verifiable and manageable. It is a powerful tool to help stakeholders systematically understand and respond to 5G cyber security threats at the technical level.

I am starting working on them from today only and give you updates soon.
Some sample IFC files attached FYI.
You just have to simply unhide the structure again to apply material, constraints and loads. Don't worry about the mesh unhiding.
So, now what is the solution to it? Any hints or pointers would be great.
I suspect the compilers are different.
Well, in that case, I got a warning in Dynamo that no module named platform found. Both the applications are 64-bit.


There have been some mixed responses to the new Lucky Duck opening in the Jewellery Quarter. The announcement that it was opening generated massive amounts of hype, followed by vociferous complaints that it wasn't as perfect as the expectations that people had loaded onto it.
And yes, there are definitely areas that need work. But my duck noodle bowl felt nourishing and hearty, with a perfectly soft boiled egg joining pak choi and pink breast atop a well seasoned broth filled with tangles of noodles, spring onions and chunks of dark leg meat. It warmed my belly and my soul. Consistency might be an issue for Lucky Duck at present, as I've heard from others their bowl had seasoning issues, or the breast wasn't quite right, but it is their first week after all; I think it's fair to cut new restaurants a little slack in their opening weeks while they tweak things.
There was more accurate cooking in the fillings of the bao; pork came meltingly soft, while the aubergine regained the perfect amount of firmness and the battered cod has a heavenly crunch. The flavour combinations are simple though, and I'd like a bit more funk. I found myself wishing for the texture of sesame seeds or crushed peanut, the fire of chilli, or the aromatics and colour of fresh herbs. The buns needed more fluff and lightness, and veered too much towards stodginess.
All of this is easily fixable though, and what a wonderful spot this will be to eat if they can do so. The bijou space has been beautifully designed, light and minimalistic with pale wood and plenty of swoon-worthy blue and white tableware that had me vowing to conquer Asian cookery to justify purchasing my own. Little details like the origami flowers pick up the same colour scheme and show the love that has been put into the restaurant. Lucky Duck also has an admirable ethos when it comes to sustainability – such as rewards for bringing your own takeaway containers – but if I wasn't the type to read about restaurants on the internet I wouldn't have known this; it might be a good idea to include a small note or mention with the menu so that people are more aware.
Feedback seemed to be welcomed on our visit, so I'm betting that this place will come on in leaps and bounds. With a little bit of time and work, Lucky Duck could fly.
Lucky Duck is located in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter at 21 Caroline Street, B3 1UE. Website.

We all have our part to play when it comes to looking after the environment, so if it's important to you to know that your food comes from a sustainable source, Adelaide's organic restaurants are a great choice. If you're eating organically for health reasons, too, then superfood ingredients like quinoa and pumpkins are sure to please you. And with Adelaide's organic restaurants acting as great options for those who lead vegetarian or vegan lifestyles, there really is something for everyone here.
But committing yourself to eating organic food certainly doesn't have to mean cutting meat out of your diet. Adelaide's organic restaurants pride themselves on serving meat that was farmed in a responsible and eco friendly way. Down at Earths Kitchen on Pirie Street in the city centre you can enjoy a wide range of meats like this, including the harissa chicken pizza topped with organic meat, roasted pumpkin and aromatic harissa paste.
One of the main reasons people choose to eat organically sourced food is because it helps the local economy to grow and develop, and that's definitely true here at Adelaide's organic restaurants. Lots of the food sourced at places like Earths Kitchen comes with a local tag, meaning that your meal is helping a local organic farmer stay in business. Many areas around Adelaide are known for farming, so you can expect to find organically farmed produce from areas like Adelaide Hills when you order a meal at one of Adelaide's organic restaurants.
The popularity of the new organic farmers market at Frewville just goes to show how important organically sourced produce is to the people of this city. Adelaide's organic restaurants serve a large demand, and that combined with their high quality and commitment to great cooking means that they get busy. That's why it makes sense to book a spot at one of these restaurants ahead of time in order to avoid disappointment.

The Directors Guild of America and the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees have applauded the passage of a bill to prevent fraudulent U.S. visas from being issued to foreign directors and crew members.
The House of Representatives approved the bi-partisan legislation — H.R. 3636, the Oversee Visa Integrity with Stakeholder Advisories (O-Visa) Act — on Monday. The bill now goes to the U.S. Senate.
If enacted, the legislation would require the Department of Homeland Security to notify the DGA and IATSE of approvals or denials of the O visas for foreign directors and crew members seeking to work on films and TV series shot in the U.S.
"This bipartisan bill is an important step in providing a level of transparency that will help ensure the security and integrity of the USCIS-administered O-1B and O-2 visa program which admits foreign directors, members of the director's team, and craftspeople with extraordinary ability to temporarily work in the U.S on motion picture production," the DGA and IATSE said.
The program requires that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services consult with appropriate organizations — including IATSE, the DGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers — regarding the validity of applicants in their areas.
"While the vast majority of those seeking O-1B and O-2 visas use the programs appropriately, for years we have expressed our concerns that the USCIS has been approving fraudulent applications that have not been subject to any review, and has refused to even notify us when insufficient applications are approved over our valid objections – undermining the statutory mandate and preventing us from fulfilling our obligations to Congress in this very important area," the DGA and IATSE said.
"By requiring the USCIS to give us notice of a final visa ruling, we will be better able to assist them in identifying fraud and abuse, as well as protecting our national security," they added.
The bill's authors are Congresswoman Mimi Walters (R-CA) and Congressman Jerry Nadler (D-NY). The unions thanked them along with House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte and Ranking Member John Conyers for their expertise and guidance; Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren for her unwavering support; and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy for moving this legislation to its final passage.

Why 'keeping your head down' is a myth
Published on Tuesday, April 19, 2016
It's happened to each of us at some point during a round. Chunk or top the ball and your playing partner offers the advice nobody wants to hear:
"You looked up." "You need to keep your head down." "When you look up, all you'll see is a bad shot."
But PGA Professional Charlie King is here to dispel that myth, once and for all. Topping the ball has nothing to do with keeping your head down and everything to do with trying to flip the ball toward the target with your weight on your back foot.
The instructor of golf at Reynolds Kingdom of Golf at Reynolds Lake Oconee has heard the whole "keep your head down" spiel since he first started teaching, and with the help of slow-motion video, can finally prove that your head coming up during the shot is only a by-product of what's happening at the bottom of the arc of the swing.
"When I first started teaching. I thought people looked up on a topped shot or hit behind it," King said. "But I kept seeing in the video: hanging back on the back foot and the wrist flip.
[wide_search_instructor]
"You can't see it at regular speed, it's all happening too fast. And as a teacher, I've seen it all over the country. So why would everybody be doing that? And it hit me -- it's instinctive."
What's happening, King explained, in that incredibly short period of time between the downswing and contact with the ball is your body's attempt to manipulate the swing in order to get the ball airborne.
"The ball's sitting on the ground and as an amateur golfer, I'm trying to get the ball to go up," King said. "So I'm swinging up to get the ball to go up. So just think about what that would look like, if you swung up, you'd fall back on your back foot and flick your wrists."
Because the swing plane is a tilted-over arc, King said that means you either hit behind the ball or on top of it. And that's what creates a chunk or top.
MORE INSTRUCTION: Is your swing on the correct path?
"When we swing, it makes an arc," King said. "So if you're swinging up, the bottom would be behind the ball. So if you hit the ground, that's a fat shot. But if you miss the ground, the club's on the way up when it gets to the ball, so you top it.
"So if someone tells me -- or a friend tells a friend -- 'keep your head down,' I didn't fix the problem. I'm keeping my head down while my weight's still hanging back and my wrist's still flipping. So that's the problem. When people top it, they don't know why."
Most amateurs then take things to the extreme. In an effort to stop topping the ball, they get even more of a "scoop" swing -- or worse, they begin chopping down on it.
"It's not like a person says, 'Hey, I'm going to scoop it to hit the ball,' " King said. "It happens without you even knowing it. It happens instinctively, and then someone will mention the whole idea about hitting down on it. But then you start chopping at it. Yes, you need to hit slightly down while arcing up."
So while the advice is genuine, it's basically useless. Of course, none of us are trying to top the ball on purpose. It's a matter of good swing mechanics -- not trying to focus on where your head is on your downswing -- that will help the most, King said.
Something as simple as trying to sweep the grass with the bottom of your club will create the correct weigth shift, smooth out the bottom of the arc and aid in muscle memory.
"You can fix it with a pretty simple drill," King said. "I put two tees or two balls across from each other and I practice clipping the grass. When you clip the grass correctly, your weight shifts a little and your hands go up, down and back up. And you start clipping the grass."
Here's a video of King showing exactly he's describing.
And the next time your buddy tops one? Keep your head by not telling him about his.

The Asia-Pacific and the RCN
by Eric Lerhe
CDA Institute Blog: The Forum
CDA Institute guest contributor Dr. Eric Lerhe, a retired Commodore from the RCN, comments on Canada's role in the Asia-Pacific. This post is based on his recently released Canadian Global Affairs Institute Policy Paper.
Over the last thirty years, Canada's involvement in the Asia-Pacific is probably more accurately described as erratic, rather than as absent. For example, we briefly engaged with the states of the region during the Canadian-initiated Northwest Pacific Security Dialogue (1990–1993) and then with our funding of the South China Sea Dialogues in the mid-1990s, but our attention soon drifted elsewhere.
Our military and naval engagements in the area were similarly short-term, erratic, and often reactive. Something more resembling an engagement strategy emerged in the 1990s as the Canadian Navy began a series of biennial "Western Pacific Deployments," or "Westploys," in which four-ship naval formations were sent to the area, alternating between the North Pacific and South Pacific. Yet these engagement efforts then came to a sudden halt in 2001 as the Navy and all defence funding were reprioritized to the War on Terror and Afghanistan.
In 2012, there was a marked increase in the Canadian government's interest in the Asia-Pacific which experts have termed, somewhat critically one suspects, a "mini-pivot" or "economic pivot." This had little to do with the American rebalancing or the deteriorating security situation generally, and James Manicom of the Center for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) sensed the Canadian project was, instead, entirely trade-based. However, government efforts to increase our Pacific trade have been hampered by Canada's weak presence in the region.
The Canadian mini-pivot that would hopefully overcome these impressions included efforts from within the Department of National Defence's (DND) Global Engagement Policy. The department correctly focused on gaining entry to the East Asian Summit and ASEAN Defence Ministers Meeting Plus, the fora with the tightest focus on regional security. After announcing those goals, DND then listed its recent accomplishments in the area, noting each VIP visit made, new agreement signed, and exercise attended. The agreements are welcome, particularly the 2013 signing of the Canada-US Asia-Pacific Defence Policy Cooperation Framework. Most of the rest of our efforts were temporary and involved exchanges between officials. There was only a single port visit by a sole warship to the area in 2014. The only sustained efforts were our continuing participation in Exercise RIMPAC, but these occur only every two years.
One can discern several reasons for Canada to be far more directly involved in Asia-Pacific security. First, the US Secretary of Defense asked for our support during the Halifax International Security Forum in 2013, stating his department "looks forward to Canada's increased engagement in the region." Canada certainly seemed to be indicating we were on board with Minister of National Defence Nicholson adding that "both Canada and the United States share with our Asian partners an interest in promoting stability" and then signing the Canada-US Asia-Pacific Defence Policy Coordination Framework that seeks to achieve this.
Next, Canada's government is fully aware that trade must be reoriented away from the slow-growth established economies and moved towards the rapidly-growing Asian economies. However, as has been repeatedly made clear by ASEAN and others, Canada can only gain greater access to much of the region's trade if it commits to a sustained security effort in the region. This was further reinforced by the US view that the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement, which will control over forty per cent of the world's economic capacity, is now seen in the US as the "economic complement" to their Pacific rebalance.
Moreover, many of the same ASEAN states are moving rapidly towards an enhanced security régime. Joining now ensures we will have a hand in designing the security architecture. We can join it now or we can join it later, but given that ASEAN also controls much of the economic arrangements in the area, delay will mean Canada accesses the economies of this high-growth area that much later.
Canada can, of course, stand off from the deteriorating security situation in the region. The legal rights of the Philippines and Vietnam can also be ignored. This would involve a rather dramatic walking away from the assurances we recently gave the US Secretary of Defense and the agreement on Asia-Pacific cooperation we just signed with his department. While the issue linkage would not be direct, such a Canadian move would also seem particularly unwise when trade agreements are approaching conclusion and the US remains our largest trading partner by some considerable margin.
Canada must also recognize that our current approach of intermittent, brief single-ship visits, VIP exchanges, and occasional exercises is going to achieve none of those goals. A recent CIGI-Australian Strategic Policy Institute study tartly concluded its recommendations for a Canadian government wanting entry by stating "Not surprisingly, being engaged requires Canada to actually be in the region." It is also not surprising that the vast majority of authors calling for greater Canadian engagement identified Canadian naval ships as the vehicle. In part this recognizes the majority of the region's current conflicts involve maritime boundary disputes.
In the particular case of China, ships are seen as uniquely capable of quickly shifting tasks in theatre between diplomacy, deterrence, and containment. This would allow Canadian ships to collaborate with China's recent positive multilateral naval efforts either independently or in cooperation with the US "soft" engagement effort. Those same Canadian ships could also instantly switch to reinforcing the US "hard" balancing effort should the security situation continue its current decline. Their mobility also allows them to respond quickly to the area's rapidly changing events by either surging forward or withdrawing without local upset as they operate without a base footprint.
While our current frigate and destroyer count is low, it is improving as more vessels come out of their midlife modernization. However, the current lack of a supply ship forecloses the earlier option of returning to our successful task group Westploy model any time soon. Yet we also had an unbroken string of successful deployments by our frigates with US carrier battle groups throughout the 1990s and during the War on Terror as a result of our ability to meet the United States Navy's extremely high interoperability standards. This would suggest we should soon offer up a frigate to the 7th Fleet carrier battle group operating out of Japan on a twelve-month cycle. We would be wise to ensure a significant portion of its time is spent operating with the Japanese Navy.
Given the heightened concern over the threat to the sea lines of communication posed by China's and North Korea's large submarine fleets, the frigate we send could well be joined by temporary or full-time deployments of the CP-140 Aurora and our Victoria Class submarines. Our traditional anti-submarine warfare expertise is still valued, but that value will be significantly increased when the modernized frigates are joined by the new CH-148 Cyclone shipborne helicopter and the upgraded CP-140.
Finally, we can only return to full Canadian task group deployments when we have an AOR, and even here that capability is forfeit every four years as it goes into refit. Either the building of the two Berlin class supply ships should be expanded to three, with two being on the West Coast, or we should plan on retaining one of the recently called-for interim tankers. Given the rapidly declining security situation in the Western Pacific, efforts to deliver that interim tanker should be accelerated. That supply ship would allow a return to biannual task group deployments to the region, although the permanent single ship commitment to 7th Fleet should remain our premier contribution.

1486 in the Admont Monastery. Fourteen-year-old Quirin is sent by his master, a book printer, on a mission. He is supposed to bring a mysterious chest to the bishop in Salzburg. But before Quirin can set off, his master is attacked by Count von Gallenstein, who accuses him of theft, and his master dies in his attempt to flee. Quirin just manages to escape with the chest. He is overcome with horror when he finds inside it the "Book of Darkness". In this book, it is said, the devil documents the souls who will enter hell after the Last Judgment. Quirin is determined to complete his mission, even after his master's death. Maybe the bishop can break the spell of the book and free the souls that have been enslaved? But Quirin hardly has time to catch a breath, because the count, obsessed by his desire to possess the book, is right on his heels.
Only with the help of Anna, a farmer's daughter, can Quirin escape the clutches of the heinous knight. The two don't yet know that Salzburg may not be the salvation they hope for, but their ruin instead.

Q: Optional pagination with Spring I am pretty new to java and spring.
What I want to implement is api endpoint /tickets with pagination and sorting. I made it and it works. But also what I would like to do is to return plain list of all tickets if size and page are not specified in the query params, so in FE I can use that list in selectbox.
What I have tried to do is to implement getTickets on service facade and return list of all tickets. But I didn't find a way how to check if Pageable is set as it always returns default values (size=20, page=0)
//Controller
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ResponseEntity<Page<TicketListItemResponseModel>> getTickets(Pageable pageable) {
    logger.info("> getTickets");
    Page<TicketListItemResponseModel> tickets = ticketServiceFacade.getTickets(pageable);
    logger.info("< getTickets");
    return new ResponseEntity<>(tickets, HttpStatus.OK);
}

//TicketServiceFacade
public Page<TicketListItemResponseModel> getTickets(Pageable pageable) {
    Page<Ticket> tickets = ticketService.findAll(pageable);
    return tickets.map(new ConverterFromPagesToListItem());
}

public List<TicketListItemResponseModel> getTickets() {
    List<Ticket> tickets = ticketService.findAll();
    return tickets.stream()
            .map(t -> modelMapper.map(t, TicketListItemResponseModel.class))
            .collect(Collectors.toList());
}

Perhaps I do it totally wrong?

A: If you build out your controller method like so, you can manage whether or not you want to implement paging by checking the request params:
@Override
public ResponseEntity<Page<TicketListItemResponseModel>> getTickets(
        @RequestParam(value = "page", defaultValue = "0", required = false) int page,
        @RequestParam(value = "count", defaultValue = "10", required = false) int size,
        @RequestParam(value = "order", defaultValue = "ASC", required = false) Sort.Direction direction,
        @RequestParam(value = "sort", defaultValue = "name", required = false) String sortProperty) {
    // here you would check your request params and decide whether or not to do paging and then return what you need to return
}

If you need to build a PageRequest to pass into your service method, you can do so manually like so:
new PageRequest(page, size, new Sort(direction, sortProperty));

A: You can use @PageableDefault(size = Integer.MAX_VALUE) like this:
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ResponseEntity<Page<TicketListItemResponseModel>> getTickets(
@PageableDefault(size = Integer.MAX_VALUE) Pageable pageable
) {
    logger.info("> getTickets");
    Page<TicketListItemResponseModel> tickets = ticketServiceFacade.getTickets(pageable);
    logger.info("< getTickets");
    return new ResponseEntity<>(tickets, HttpStatus.OK);
}

Power on pole in Texas
By dizbizroundupJun 7, 2013, 5:32 PM EDT
Will Power has secured his second pole position of the 2013 IZOD IndyCar Series season, on Friday at Texas Motor Speedway. It's his first since the season opener at St. Petersburg in March.
The two styles of tracks could not be any more different. At the 1.5-mile oval in Texas, Power nearly hit the rev limiter on his lap but managed to avoid it and not lose any mph. As a result, the Verizon Team Penske driver averaged more than 219 mph, and was a full 1.6 mph up on second-placed Marco Andretti.
"Our race car has been pretty good," Power told IndyCar Radio. "It was wide open, trimmed out, and the gear was right. I think Marco should have been on pole, but he hit the rev limiter."
Power seems optimistic for the race. He has his only career oval win there in the second half of the twin races held in 2011.
"It's going to be an interesting race," he said. "The downforce level is about right. Some cars will go out more than others. Hopefully we're at the front of all that."
Andretti was second ahead of his Andretti Autosport teammate Ryan Hunter-Reay, Dario Franchitti and E.J. Viso, who was the first car to run.
The rest of the top 10 on the grid includes: Helio Castroneves, Josef Newgarden, Charlie Kimball, Ed Carpenter and James Jakes.
Grid positions aren't entirely important given how fast the Firestones will go off over a course over a stint, and how well drivers manage the tires and hold onto the car with the current level of downforce.
Oriol Servia clocked in 18th, Pippa Mann 21st, in their first qualifying runs since Indianapolis.
Also of note, Simona de Silvestro will lose 10 spots from her 12thh place qualifying effort due to an engine change, while Takuma Sato (missed spot in pre-qualifying tech inspection) and Tristan Vautier (engine change) did not make qualifying attempts and will start at the back.

Vaccinate Your Family Urges State Legislators, Health Commissioners and Governors to Ensure Certain Parameters Are Met Prior to Considering COVID-19 Vaccination Requirements for School Attendance
October 21, 2021 – As our co-founders were instrumental in the passage of laws requiring vaccination for school entry in the 1980s, Vaccinate Your Family continues to support school vaccine requirements that keep our children safe from deadly infectious diseases. While the primary series of vaccines ought to be completed by age two, school requirements were initiated to ensure that no children fell through the cracks of the healthcare system and could be caught up on needed vaccines prior to entering kindergarten.
Traditionally, vaccines are not added to the requirements for daycare and school attendance until they have been on the market for an extended period of time. Childhood safety data for each vaccine on the recommended schedule helps ensure parental acceptance of vaccines. School and daycare requirements should be put in place as the final mile to ensure that any child that has missed their vaccines(s) can be brought up to date and to ensure that children remain safe from deadly infectious diseases in their place of learning.
There are several parameters that are traditionally in place prior to considering vaccine requirements for school and daycare attendance including: full licensure of the vaccine;
high parental acceptance;
broad availability of the vaccine;
physician/provider support for the vaccine;
stable and adequate vaccine supply;
addition of the vaccine to immunization information systems (registries);
adequate data to assure vaccine safety;
significant uptake in the recommended population to reduce the compliance burden on school/childcare systems;
coverage for the vaccine and delivery in private health insurance plans; and
sufficient funding to purchase the vaccine (if not completely federally-funded) through the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program, the Section 317 program, and/or a state program to provide access to those not adequately covered by private insurance.
While data supporting the overall safety of COVID vaccines is well established, the multiple criteria typically in place prior to considering a school-based requirement have not yet been met. Therefore, Vaccinate Your Family is urging state legislators, governors, and health commissioners to first ensure that necessary parameters have been met prior to considering the addition of COVID-19 vaccinations for children to the list of requirements for school attendance.

Gabrielle Union-Wade Joins 'Don't Skip' Campaign to Encourage Doctor Well-Visits and Recommended Vaccinations
May 17, 2021 – Vaccinate Your Family, in collaboration with Merck, known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, announced today the launch of a new public health campaign called Don't Skip with actress, activist and author Gabrielle Union-Wade to encourage families to schedule their well-visits and stay up to date on all recommended vaccines.
Parents' fears about COVID-19, stay-at-home policies and other pandemic-related issues have caused families to stay away from doctors' offices over the past year, with potentially serious implications to national public health. Missed child well-visits have led to declines in recommended vaccinations, with up to a 26 percent drop in certain childhood vaccinations between January and September 2020, according to one report.
As part of the campaign, a series of new public service announcements feature Union-Wade and her family during moments that reflect some of the realities of life during the pandemic, along with an important message: it's okay to skip some things right now, but a visit to the doctor isn't one of them. These visits are important for people of all ages to stay on schedule with their recommended vaccinations, especially for young children and preteens who may have missed some vaccines.
"The health and wellness of my family is my number one priority. Like so many other families, we've had to make some adjustments over the past year. But for us, we did not skip our kids' well-visits and recommended vaccines," said Union-Wade. "If there's one thing the pandemic has taught us, it's that public health matters and we all can do our part to help protect our families and each other. That's why I'm encouraging parents to talk to their kid's doctors now about getting back into the office to stay up to date with their kid's recommended vaccinations."
Timing to return to doctors' offices has become important, as public venues are starting to reopen, and families are planning for summer break activities and a return to school later this year.
"Now is the time for people of all ages to be talking with their doctor about how to stay up to date with their recommended vaccinations, and it's especially important for preteens and young children as communities reopen," said Amy Pisani, executive director of Vaccinate Your Family. "Doctors are taking many precautions to help keep their offices as safe as possible, from special hours for well-visits to wait-in-car policies to limiting the number of people who attend visits. It's important for parents to ask their child's doctor now if their child is due for, or has missed, any recommended vaccinations."
"The decline in recommended vaccination rates and doctor visits reported during the pandemic is a serious public health concern. The scale of this challenge calls for big voices, which is why we are thrilled to have Gabrielle, her family and Vaccinate Your Family involved in this important public health campaign," said Dr. Julie Gerberding, executive vice president and chief patient officer, Merck. "Merck has a proud legacy of advancing important health initiatives and the decline in recommended child vaccinations warrants urgent return to care action. With support from Gabrielle and Vaccinate Your Family, we hope families will be motivated to help stay protected against vaccine-preventable diseases."

Vaccinate Your Family Serves on Google's Expert Jury to Select Global Recipients to Help Fight COVID-19 Misinformation
March 17, 2021 – Vaccinate Your Family had the distinct honor to serve on an expert jury as part of a Google News Initiative to select 11 worthy projects around the globe that will fight misinformation about COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines.
As these projects come to fruition, VYF will share the details with partners here in the U.S. and abroad so that we may learn from their insights and perhaps model their programs in order to increase global confidence in COVID-19 by combatting misinformation and disinformation.
Please read the announcement below from Alexios Mantzarlis, News and Information Credibility Lead, Google News Lab:
The rapid nature of the COVID-19 vaccine development process and the great anxiety caused by the pandemic have made the topic of vaccination particularly susceptible to misinformation. Journalists can play a fundamental role supporting an evidence-based discourse by listening to their audiences' concerns and providing corrective information about misconceptions that circulate online and offline.
To support this work, the Google News Initiative launched a $3 million Open Fund in January. Over a three-week window, we received more than 309 applications from 74 countries.
Today, we are announcing the 11 projects that were selected through an extensive review process that included a 17-person project team and an expert jury reviewing the highest-scoring applicants.
These projects stood out for their attempt to reach underrepresented audiences, explore new formats for fact checks and rigorous strategies to measure their impact. Each recipient will be sharing more details on their own channels in the upcoming weeks. Here's a brief overview of the projects:
Africa Check, in partnership with Theatre for a Change, will produce a series of interactive radio drama shows in Wolof in Senegal and Pidgin in Nigeria to present fact checks in a more participatory format.
Agência Lupa will provide COVID-19 vaccine fact checks to a network of community radios covering Brazilian "news deserts" and work with digital influencers to promote media literacy on the topic.
Aleteia, I.Media and Verificat.cat will work with a scientific committee and two research centers to source misinformation and create a database of related fact checks available in seven languages for Catholic media outlets around the world.
Chequeado will continue spearheading the collaborative project Latam Chequea that includes more than 20 fact-checking organizations across Latin America. It will aim to reach senior citizens, indigenous populations and 18-to-26-year-olds through dedicated formats.
The hyperlocal digital site Escenario Tlaxcala, assisted by local doctors, will produce fact-checking content and distribute it across the Mexican state in Nahuatl and Otomí through various formats including by using "perifoneo" loudspeakers to reach offline audiences.
Katadata will provide a platform debunking COVID-19 vaccine misinformation and work with the Indonesia Traditional Wet Market Merchants Association (Asparindo) to disseminate this content to wet markets across the country.
In Uruguay, la diaria will publish fact checks and co-created content around COVID-19 misinformation, broadening its reach by partnering with trap music performer Pekeño 77 and screenwriter Pedro Saborido.
Servimedia and Maldita.es will join force to create fact-checking content relevant for Spaniards with disabilities, in formats that are accessible to them.
Stuff will work in partnership with Māori Television and the Pacific Media Network to fact-check misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine in New Zealand.
A broad collaborative project led by The Quint in India will seek to source hyper-local misinformation and distribute fact checks through a grassroots network of rural women.
Univision Noticias and FactCheck.org will work together to produce fact checks about COVID-19 immunization as short bilingual video explainers, with a plan to measure their impact systemically and reach a majority of U.S. Hispanic households.
Our goal is for the lessons learned from these initiatives to support our collective understanding of how best to combat misinformation about health topics, whether it's through new audience strategies or new approaches to measuring the impact of fact checks. Stay tuned for more updates as these projects get underway.

"Over the past year, the pandemic has taken an immeasurable toll on families all across the country and upended everyone's lives," said President Barack Obama. "Michelle and I got vaccinated against COVID-19 because we know it's the best way to get the country back up and running again—and get us back to the moments we miss. We hope every American will do the same and get a vaccine as soon as it's available to them. It could save your life."
"Laura and I are grateful for the dedicated scientists and researchers who enabled safe and effective vaccines to be developed so quickly. As the country moves toward recovery and renewal, we look forward to seeing our families, friends, and even a baseball game. We hope everyone joins us in getting a vaccine when it's available to them," said President George W. Bush.
"America has always been at its best when we are looking out for one another and pulling together in common cause. Now, with the development of safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines, we have the chance to rise to the moment again," said President Bill Clinton. "I encourage every American to get vaccinated as soon as it becomes available to you—and to feel confident, as Hillary and I did when we got ours, that it will protect you and your loved ones, and bring us all one step closer to ending this pandemic."
"Rosalynn and I are very happy to be vaccinated so, together with other public health measures, we can get back to church, see our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and eventually be active in our community again. I encourage everyone to get a vaccine when it's their turn," said President Jimmy Carter.

Vaccinate Your Family Applauds the Authorization of the First COVID-19 Vaccine, Urges Policymakers to Step Up
On December 11, 2020, less than 12 months from the outset of a global pandemic, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Emergency Authorization Use to a vaccine that will protect our nation from coronavirus. Soon up to 50 million doses will arrive in every state and territory throughout the U.S., and the most vulnerable among our communities will be first in line to receive the two doses of the vaccine.
Vaccinate Your Family President and Cofounder Rosalynn Carter urged individuals who are recommended for the vaccines in the coming months to "get immunized as soon as possible to protect themselves, their families and their communities." The Former First Lady expressed her condolences to the millions of families throughout the globe who lost loved ones to this now vaccine-preventable disease. "I hope that this will be the turning point when individuals become acutely aware of the devastating consequences that coronavirus and other vaccine-preventable diseases can have. It is essential to ensure that everyone receives timely vaccinations."
Statement from Amy Pisani, MS, Executive Director:
Vaccinate Your Family applauds the authorization of the first vaccine to fight COVID-19. However, our country's work to protect each and every person against this deadly disease is far from over. Congress must immediately approve additional funding for the quick, equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines as well as critical resources for community initiatives to increase vaccine confidence. The devastating impact coronavirus has had on this country, and in communities of color in particular, must end. We will only see the end of this pandemic when we all work together to make sure people are able and willing to receive a vaccine.

VYF Provides Oral Comments to the NASEM on the Discussion Draft of the Preliminary Framework for Equitable Allocation of the COVID-19 Vaccine
September 02, 2020 – My name is Amy Pisani and I serve as the Executive Director of Vaccinate Your Family (VYF).
Thank you for the opportunity to offer comments today. This National Academies Committee has taken on the tremendously important – and delicate – issue of allocating future COVID-19 vaccines equitably. The initial framework is moving in the right direction, particularly as it builds from past experience and existing distribution systems.
Vaccinate Your Family is a national nonprofit organization committed to protecting people of all ages from vaccine-preventable diseases. For nearly 30 years, our organization has been at the forefront of efforts to educate the public about the critical importance of timely vaccinations and to increase confidence in the safety and efficacy of vaccines. Our organization has helped to shape vaccine policies that have made lasting improvements to the vaccine infrastructure of this nation and we will continue to work with our immunization partners to support systemic changes to improve the vaccination rates of children and adults, who experience significant disparities in coverage.
While protecting everyone against COVID-19 with a vaccine will not be possible in the immediate future, we are hopeful that SARS-COV2 will soon be on the list of viruses against which the world is protected through lifesaving vaccines.
Vaccinate Your Family is immensely grateful for the thoughtful draft framework for equitable COVID-19 vaccine distribution created by this committee. We support the principle of "equal regard" for all individuals and urge the nation to extend this to include the prioritization of high-risk health workers throughout the globe. We also appreciate the thorough efforts of this Committee to gather learnings from past pandemics to apply to the current crisis.
As the world is now aware, COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted adults over the age of 65, people of all ages with underlying health conditions, and the economically disadvantaged. Combined, these groups account for a large portion of the world's population. The same populations who have had severe outcomes from COVID-19, including those who suffer from diabetes, heart disease and a variety of lung conditions, are also at higher risk from other infectious diseases for which we have vaccines including influenza, pneumonia, shingles and whooping cough.
VYF agrees with the Committee's view that "Fundamental health inequities in COVID-19 and in other health conditions are rooted in structural inequalities, racism, and residential segregation. Any vaccine allocation scheme designed to reduce COVID-19 risk must explicitly address the higher burden of COVID-19 experienced by the populations affected most heavily, given their exposure and compounding health inequities. Mitigating those health inequities is, therefore, a moral imperative of an equitable vaccine allocation system."
While there have been devastating consequences from this pandemic, it is our hope that the public's awareness of the dangers of certain underlying medical conditions will drive the development of new partnerships between public health and community organizations, patient advocacy groups, and specialized health associations to increase awareness of the critical importance of COVID-19 and other vaccinations, and to eliminate health disparities.
We urge policymakers to review the background information in this report and take immediate steps to overcome the challenges faced by adults who do not have full coverage for vaccinations under their health plans, Medicaid or Medicare. We support the Committee's draft recommendation to develop an emergency infrastructure program for adults based on the remarkably successful Vaccines for Children program, which was created in 1993 as part of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act and has been credited with nearly eliminating racial vaccine disparities among children.
In order to increase public confidence in the prioritization plan, we wish to stress the importance of making the decisions of this Committee readily accessible to the public. We appreciate that the Committee recognizes the need to ensure the framework is easily understood by all audiences and that the vaccine is not only distributed equitability, but also perceived as equitable by populations who are "socioeconomically, culturally and educationally diverse, and who have distinct historical experiences with the health system".
Therefore, we urge the National Academies and government agencies to engage traditional and non-traditional vaccine and health communication partners to further share these recommendations in the media, online and through organizations with direct access to the public.
People in the U.S. must understand the process for developing the framework, as well as the framework itself, in order to feel confident that the new COVID-19 vaccine will be distributed fairly and equitably. The public health community stands ready to share the deliberative process used by this Committee as you offer your recommendations to the ACIP and the public.
Unfortunately, some of the people who will be prioritized for COVID-19 vaccination may be hesitant about the vaccine's safety and efficacy. This could be for a variety of reasons including general hesitancy toward vaccination or concerns about the speed with which the COVID vaccines are being developed. Efforts to communicate about this framework must therefore be complemented with ongoing conversations about how COVID-19 vaccines are being developed and information about the systems in place to monitor vaccine safety and efficacy in the U.S. The purpose and historical success of each of these safety systems should be broadly shared with the public.
Once again, Vaccinate Your Family appreciates the Committee's thoughtful allocation criteria, which reflect some very difficult, but critical considerations to ensure that those at greatest risk of contracting and spreading COVID-19 are prioritized to protect the entire public. The considerations outlined in this report reflect this Committee's vast scientific and social justice expertise we are confident that the prioritization decisions included careful deliberation of the critical factors that will ensure equitable distribution that will help mitigate the spread and dangerous complications of COVID-19.
As we await the Committee's final report, Vaccinate Your Family will focus our efforts on ensuring that every individual who seeks a future vaccine has equal access to immunizations.
CT Voters Overwhelming Agree: Vaccines are Critical to Public Health and Should Be Required for School and Daycare Attendance
July 16, 2020 – The best way to stop the spread of disease is through vaccination and parents have a responsibility to ensure that their children are vaccinated before entering schools and daycares to protect public health —these are just some of the statements that Connecticut residents overwhelmingly support according to a just released poll of registered voters.
Residents strongly support changing current law so that parents can only exempt their children from vaccination requirements for medical reasons in order to be allowed to attend schools and daycares in the state. CT is one of several states seeking to remove personal beliefs and religious reasons for exemptions to required vaccines for school and daycares in the state.
The poll was conducted by Lake Research Partners during the week of June 9-16 on behalf of Vaccinate Your Family, a nonprofit, non-partisan vaccine advocacy organization, based in Washington, D.C. and Connecticut. The polling found overwhelming support for vaccinations to protect children in schools and daycares throughout Connecticut.
The poll comes at a time when school districts across the state are grappling with how to re-start in person learning following school shutdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The online poll included a representative sampling of 600 registered voters from across the state, that included all genders, religious beliefs and political party affiliations as well as an oversampling of Black and Latinx populations. Highlights include:
Nearly nine out of ten parents in Connecticut believe children should be required to receive vaccines with nearly 75% in strong agreement.
87% of adults statewide and across party lines agree that children should be required to receive recommended vaccines against diseases in order to be enrolled in schools and daycares.
65% of adults (42% strongly) support proposed legislation in the Connecticut General Assembly that would ONLY allow parents to opt their children out of daycare and school vaccine requirements for medical reasons.
"Despite the loud voices of a vocal minority, the evidence is clear, Connecticut parents want their kids to be protected from preventable diseases, and vaccines are the best way to do that," said Amy Pisani, Executive Director of Vaccinate Your Family, a Connecticut resident and mom. "Now more than ever we need to ensure the loopholes that have allowed the vaccination rates among kids in our state to drop are closed, and passing legislation to require vaccinations for daycare and schools is how we will achieve that. As a parent in Connecticut, this is deeply personal to me and I am thrilled, but not surprised to see that the majority of parents in the state want to see this legislation passed."
"Vaccines are the greatest and most effective way to protect our kids from preventable diseases. From birth to college, kids should be immunized to maximize their health," said Erin Jones, Legislative and Strategic Counsel at March of Dimes. "If the pandemic has taught us anything, it's the value of disease prevention. Requiring childhood immunization from preventable diseases is our obligation to them and the greater public's health."
Due to the overwhelming response by Connecticut voters, lawmakers should prioritize legislation to remove the non-medical exemption and consider passing the legislation in an upcoming special session.
Vaccinate Your Family (VYF) was originally founded in 1991 by Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter and Former First Lady of Arkansas Betty Bumpers. Based in Washington, DC our mission is to protect people of all ages from vaccine-preventable diseases by: raising awareness of the critical need for timely immunizations, increasing the public's understanding of the benefits of vaccines, increasing confidence in the safety of vaccines, ensuring that all families have access to lifesaving vaccines, and advocating for policies that support timely vaccination.
Executive Director, Amy Pisani a long-time resident of Connecticut and is a member of the Vaccination Alliance of CT and CT Citizens for Science.
Poll Methodology: Lake Research Partners was hired by Vaccinate Your Family to design and administer this survey that was conducted online from June 9 – 16, 2020. The survey reached a total of 600 adults in Connecticut and oversamples of 75 African American and 100 Latinx adults. The sample of respondents was drawn from an online panel. The base sample was weighted by gender, region, age, race, party identification, and race by gender. The African American oversample was weighted by gender, age, and party identification. The Latinx oversample was weighted by gender, region, age, and party identification. The oversamples were weighted down into the base to reflect their proportion of the overall population. The base and the oversamples were weighted to reflect their actual proportion of the Connecticut statewide population.
The margin of error for the base is +/-4.0%. The margin of error for the oversamples and subgroups is higher.
Public Comment by Vaccinate Your Family at ACIP Meeting
June 24, 2020 – My name is Amy Pisani. I am the Executive Director of Vaccinate Your Family. Our organization seeks to protect people of all ages from vaccine-preventable diseases. For nearly three decades our organization, along with our partners in public health have developed many successful strategies to ensure that every individual has access to lifesaving vaccines.
Vaccines are one of the most important tools we have to keep families and communities protected against highly contagious diseases. We at Vaccinate Your Family want to make certain that parents and individuals continue to feel confident that the vaccines given to protect lives remain both safe and effective.
After a vaccine is licensed and recommended for use in the U.S., there are four systems in place that work together to help scientists monitor the safety of vaccines and identify any rare side effects that may not have been found in clinical trials. We remain highly confident in the robust safety systems in place here in the U.S. including the Vaccine Safety Datalink, Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, the Post-Licensure Rapid Immunization Safety Monitoring System, and the Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment Project – all of which are described on our website.
Vaccinate Your Family has a policy expressly supporting the recommendations of the ACIP and the immunization schedules voted on by this well-informed body of independent experts. ACIP's recommendations are the foundation upon which our nation's successful vaccine program is based.
In order for the public to have confidence in the safety and effectiveness of future covid vaccines, it will be critical that decisions be driven by science and the decision making process must be transparent.
To that end, we urge that ACIP and FDA's VRBPAC be involved in evaluations of the data of vaccine candidates and deciding whether and how these vaccines should be available to the public. ACIP sets the standard of care for vaccines and providers rely on the Committee to set the parameters for Clinical Care. Insurance coverage is based on the recommendations as well as VFC coverage. It is therefore imperative that any COVID vaccine recommendations for our nation are set forth by the ACIP – who can offer detailed recommendations for each population. Only this Committee has the history, expertise, and the trust of the healthcare community and the public.
We remain confident that this Committee will take action to monitor safety data on current and future vaccines, including those to prevent COVID-19 to ensure their safety as soon as they begin to be put to use.
In closing, the COVID-19 pandemic has shown us what those in public health have suspected for many years — chronic underfunding and neglect of our public health infrastructure has left us vulnerable to infectious diseases. Unfortunately, vaccines are only effective if people receive them.
Yesterday, Vaccinate Your Family released a special State of the ImmUnion report on the issue of COVID vaccination preparedness. In this brief report, we examine the five steps Congress must take to strengthen our country's vaccine infrastructure & ways to help constituents understand the value of vaccines. We urge members of the public and this committee to read our report by visiting the Vaccinate Your Family website.
Thank you for what you do today and every day.

Vaccinate Your Family Encourages Healthcare Providers and Families to Follow CDC and AAP Recommendations on Immunizations During the COVID-19 Pandemic
April 16, 2020 – The COVID-19 pandemic is undoubtedly a challenging situation for healthcare providers and families throughout the United States. To slow the spread of the coronavirus in communities, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has encouraged clinicians to scale back on face-to-face interactions with their patients, including postponing or cancelling non-urgent elective procedures and using telemedicine options whenever possible.
However, a total disruption of clinical preventive services, such as vaccination, could leave some people and communities vulnerable to vaccine-preventable diseases once social distancing recommendations and stay-at-home orders are lifted. Therefore, VYF encourages healthcare providers to follow the recommendations of the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) for immunizations during this time, including implementing the following measures whenever feasible.
For clinics working with children, providers should:
Schedule well visits at different times or at separate locations from sick visits.
Separate sick patients from well patients spatially, such as seeing sick patients in a different area as patients attending well visits.
Prioritize newborn care and vaccination of infants and young children (through 24 months of age) when possible, if a practice cannot provide well child visits for all patients in their practice.
For clinics working with adults, providers should:
Postpone immunization-only visits for adults, unless there is an urgent and compelling need for vaccination AND the benefit of vaccination outweighs any risk of exposure to the new coronavirus.
Provide immunizations only if the patient is being seen in the clinic for another purpose AND the vaccine can be given with no additional risk to the patient or provider.
Given these recommendations, people of all ages with upcoming vaccination and/or well child appointments should call their healthcare provider to discuss whether their appointments are able to remain as scheduled and what precautions, if any, they may want you to take during the visit.
Vaccinate Your Family strongly recommends that people set a reminder to reschedule any cancelled vaccine appointments after the stay-at-home orders are lifted to help protect their families and their communities from vaccine-preventable diseases.
For more information on this topic, please see CDC's guidance and recommendations for clinical preventive services and AAP's guidance for pediatric providers.
Vaccinate Your Family's 2020 State of the ImmUnion Report is Now Available
February 11, 2020 – In 2019, not a single state remained free from vaccine-preventable diseases. Yet yesterday, the President released his budget, which included a 10% cut to essential funds for CDC and HHS.
In Vaccinate Your Family's fourth annual State of the ImmUnion (SOTI) report, we examine where our country's defenses against vaccine-preventable diseases are weakest and what we can do – as public health advocates and policymakers – to make our country stronger and more resilient in the face of emerging health threats.
Vaccinate Your Family is committed to working with stakeholders across the country to help ensure everyone is aware of – and has access to – timely, lifesaving vaccines. We hope you will share this report with your Senators and Representative.
Vaccinate Your Family Leads Immunization Community's Call on DHS to Vaccinate Detainees
October 7, 2019 – Today, 54 national and state organizations, including Vaccinate Your Family (VYF), have called on the Acting Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS) to vaccinate individuals, especially children, in the custody of U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP). Earlier this fall, CBP announced it had no intention of vaccinating people in their custody against flu, putting these individuals, CBP personnel, and the broader communities at risk of a flu outbreak. Read the letter and learn why it is critical that everyone within our borders is vaccinated.
Vaccinate Your Family Cheers the Introduction of the VACCINES Act of 2019
May 21, 2019 – Vaccinate Your Family (VYF) is thrilled to learn that the House has introduced the VACCINES Act of 2019. This bill is long overdue. For too long federal funding for vaccine communication research and campaigns has remained stagnant, weakening our national and state-level vaccination partners in their attempts to share science-based information with parents. We strongly support the House's efforts to enact this bill with an appropriate, increased level of funding.
Public Health Leaders Affirm Safety of Vaccines for African American/Black Children
Vaccinate Your Family (formerly known as Every Child By Two) spearheaded a sign-on letter, which includes several former CDC Directors, Secretaries of Health and public health leaders confirming the safety of vaccines for African American children, noting that there are no indications that African American children are at a higher risk of rare side effects from vaccines than any other ethnic group.

Professor Bloch will discuss some of the physics and mathematics of the classical motion of rigid bodies and general mechanical systems. The basic principle underlying most dynamics is the principle of least action. He will discuss some of the history of this principle and how it gives rise to motion of particles and rigid bodies. He will describe important related concepts such as the role of symmetry and the conservation of angular momentum and energy. For bodies, which roll or skate a more general principle, the Lagrange-D'Alembert principle, must be used to obtain the dynamics. In such cases, angular momentum is not necessarily conserved and one obtains rich and sometimes surprising dynamics. Professor Bloch will give examples of rotating bodies that spontaneously change their direction of motion and that can proceed uphill without the application of outside force.
