Two Men Convicted of Operating Multi-Million-Dollar Advance Fee Fraud Scheme
CONNECTICUT - September 30, 2015 - Deirdre M. Daly, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, and Patricia M. Ferrick, Special Agent in Charge of the New Haven Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, today announced that on September 29, 2015, a federal jury in New Haven found DAVID C. JACKSON, also known as "C. David Manns," "Charles Jackson" and "Andrew D. Smithson," 53, and ALEXANDER D. HURT, also known as Alex Hurt and "Alex Dante," 45, guilty of conspiracy and wire fraud related to an advance fee fraud scheme they conducted that defrauded more than 40 individuals out of more than $4.5 million.
On December 22, 2014, a federal grand jury returned an 11-count indictment charging JACKSON, formerly of Maryland, Ohio and Pennsylvania, and HURT, of Scottsdale, Arizona, and formerly of Massachusetts, with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and multiple counts of wire fraud. The indictment also charged HURT with one count of making a false statement to federal law enforcement. The trial before U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton began on September 9, 2015, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty on all counts after deliberating for approximately three hours.
"This was a sophisticated advanced fee scheme operated across numerous states that preyed on more than 40 victims, including Connecticut citizens and businesses," said U.S. Attorney Daly. "These defendants and their co-conspirators took advantage of individuals and business owners who had limited options in acquiring business loans in the difficult financial environment that existed after the recession of 2008. The hard-working small business owners, developers and even family farmers who were victimized by these defendants when all they wanted to do was to get funding to create, expand, or operate their businesses. Moreover, as part of the scheme, Mr. Jackson used multiple identities to conceal his criminal past and thwart background checks. Those seeking business loans need to be wary of any provider of funding that requires significant fees in advance—especially those who use the Internet to prey upon trusting people who are unable to verify the representations made."
"Driven by greed, and through lies, deceit, and deception, Mr. Hurt and Mr. Jackson took advantage of unsuspecting individuals and stole millions of dollars so they could line their own pockets and, in the case of Mr. Hurt, travel to numerous countries on four continents," said FBI Special Agent in Charge Ferrick. "The false representations and empty promises that were made to the victims in this case were not worth the paper the fraudulent loan documents were printed on. The FBI will continue to vigorously pursue and bring to justice those who would operate advance fee fraud schemes."
According to the evidence presented during the trial, in approximately September 2009, JACKSON, using the alias "C. David Manns," established Jalin Realty Capital Advisors, LLC, using a business address in Dayton, Ohio. In 2011, JACKSON changed the name of his business to American Capital Holdings, LLC, using business addresses in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Soon after changing the business name, JACKSON began introducing himself to victim clients as "Charles Jackson" and then also used the name "Andrew Smithson" to prevent victims from learning his true identity and the true nature of his background and his scheme.
HURT held himself out as Vice President of Brightway Financial Group, LLC, a company that used a business addresses in Grapevine, Texas. As established during the trial, HURT used his background as a pastor with a Brockton, Massachusetts church to gain the confidence of at least one victim who lost money in the scheme.
JACKSON, HURT and others defrauded individuals, including Connecticut residents, who wired funds to them in anticipation of receiving large business loans. The upfront fees were alternately described as "application fees," "collateral fees" or "commitment fees." The victims were promised a refund of the upfront fees if their loan transactions were not completed. In order to convince victim-borrowers that the loans were legitimate and Jalin and ACH had successfully secured loans in the past, JACKSON provided victims and potential victims the name and phone number of a co-conspirator and told them that they could contact her for a reference. After she was contacted, the co-conspirator falsely represented to victims and potential victims that she had, in fact, received funding from JACKSON for a construction loan, and that she had successfully done a project financed with her co-conspirator and Jalin. The reference she gave was false and was just another part of the scam.
Through this scheme, more than 40 individuals provided JACKSON and HURT with more than $4.5 million in advance fees and funds that were to be held in escrow for business loans that were never provided. Some of the individuals received partial refunds of the advance fees they had provided, but the refunds were made using fees that had been paid by other victims in a Ponzi-like scheme.
JACKSON was previously convicted of federal bank fraud and money laundering offenses in October 2006 and was sentenced to 41 months in prison, followed by five years of supervised release. He was released from federal prison in September 2009 and operated this advance fee fraud scheme while on supervised release Judge Arterton scheduled a forfeiture hearing for October 27, 2015, during which the government will seek an order of forfeiture ordering the defendants to forfeit all proceeds traceable to the scheme. Judge Arterton will schedule sentencing after the forfeiture hearing.
The charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud carry a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years on each count, and the charge of making a false statement to federal law enforcement carries a maximum term of imprisonment of five years.
JACKSON has been detained since his arrest on August 26, 2014. HURT is released on bond under the supervision of the U.S. Probation Office.
This matter has been investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Ansonia Police Department, and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Anthony E. Kaplan and Michael S. McGarry.

Drohobytsch, February 21/28, 1856 - Krakew, July 17, 1879) was a Jewish painter, of Polish-speaking Galician Jews from the western part of Ukraine. He was born in Drohobych (at that time Austria-Hungary), Galicia, modern Lviv region, western Ukraine. Maurycy was one of Isaac and Fanya Tigerman Gottlieb's eleven children. At fifteen, he was enrolled at the Vienna Fine Arts Academy. Later, he would study under Jan Matejko in Krakew. However, he experienced anti-semitism from his fellow students, and left Matejko's studio after less than a year, he then traveled to Norway settling in Molde. After several years he returned to Vienna to pursue his Jewish roots. At twenty, he won a gold medal from a Munich art competition for Shylock and Jessica (at right), showing a scene from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. He based Jessica's face on that of Laura Rosenfeld, to whom he had proposed marriage. However, Rosenfeld rejected his proposal, and wed a Berlin banker. Gottlieb then planned to marry Lola Rosengarten, but when he heard about Rosenfeld's marriage he committed suicide by exposure to the elements, dying of complications from a cold. Despite his early death, more than three hundred of his works survive, though not all are finished. After the fall of the Iron Curtain, many Polish collections unknown in the West were discovered, and his reputation grew greatly. His brother, painter Leopold Gottlieb, was born five years after his death.

With Mr Church opening Friday I'm reposting my review from Tribeca where the film premiered.
Eddie Murphy plays Mr Church, a man who was hired to cook for a single mother and her daughter for the six months that the mother had left to live with breast cancer. However months became years and Mr Church became part of the family.
There is no getting around it but Bruce Beresford's film wears it's heart on it's sleeve and the structure of the film follows a well worn cinematic pattern but if you can get past that MR CHURCH reveals itself to be a deeply moving film. There is great truths in the film and the film had me tearing up repeatedly during it's run time.
The there are a couple of reasons the film works so well. As I said above the has great truths lurking with in it. Watching the film's first half I was amazed at how much the film got right about being in a house with a dying matriarch. Watching the sequences play out I was reminded of the slow deterioration of my mother from a variety of factors. The declaration of Charlotte's mother that she promised to be around for her prom reminded me of conversations I had with my mother during some of the bad times. I also was moved by how the anger one feels in various situations isn't hidden.
The best thing in the film is Eddie Murphy. Yes the role is the sort of film is played as a man who can do anything, and in lesser hands the role would have been pure cliche, but Murphy, giving one of his finest performances lifts the film up to be something special. Murphy's performance is for the most part quietly contained. There is the occasional outburst, but largely Church wanders through the film as a kind of mythic savior...or would have had Murphy not imbued him with something more. There is a hidden life behind the facade that Church shows, and we see it not in the out bursts but in the activity behind the eyes. Watch the sequences when the adult Charlotte shows up unannounced at Church's door. Its clear he loves her and is willing to help her to a point but you can see the conflict going on behind his eyes. He does not want her there and wants his privacy. It's a notion that makes a on of the final scenes all the more touching.
After the Tribeca press screening I got into a discussion with some friends who didn't like the film. To them the film didn't do anything special and hit all of the expected plot points. I couldn't argue that and I agreed, but as I have said there is a magic and realness to the small moments that make the film truly something special. It is as if screenwriter Susan McMartin, who based this on her own life, knew that for the film to have the desired effect and not be maudlin, she would have to forgo some of the complexity a less standard issue story telling would create. She structured film as a kind of eulogy for Mr Church who is being remembered by a young woman who saw him as something special, so there is no room for some of the layers a more clear eyed telling would engender.
Ultimately this is a film and story that is all about the heart and not the head. Intellectually I could rightly agree about the films flaws, but this isn't about the things we know instead its about what we feel. All of the discussions are about how we feel for each other, not about what we think. As such it makes perfect sense that this is an emotional film, a film of the heart and not the head. When you see this film, throw out reason and simply let yourself feel this film.
I unabashedly love this film with all my heart. One of the best films at Tribeca and maybe one of my favorites of 2016.

UN extends UPDF peace mission in Somalia up to end of July
A United Nation-backed peacekeeping mission in Somalia, which faces attacks by an Al-Qaeda affiliated, received unanimous security council backing Tuesday until July 31.
The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM),with about 21,600 troops,among whom are Ugandan soldiers,operates with the approval of the UN and relies on international funding.
By extending AMISOM's mandate to the end of July, United Nations Security Council allowed for a review of recommendations expected in a "joint assessment"report on Somalia to be presented by June 15.
In its resolution,the security council recalled that it authorized the African union to reduce AMISOM to roughly 20,600 personnel by October 30,after 1,000 troops were pulled out last year.
There are plans for a full withdrawal of foreign troops by December 2020,but heads of state and ministers from the main troop contributors,including Burundi,Djibouti,Ethopia,Kenya and Uganda in March warned the timeframe for the drawdown was "not realistic and would lead to a reversal of the gains made by AMISOM".
The mission was deployed in 2007 to defend the internationally-backed government against attacks by the shabaab,a Somali-led Al-Qaeda affiliate.

Los tártaros (Rumano: Tătari), un grupo étnico de lengua túrquica, han estado presentes en el territorio de la actual Rumanía desde el siglo XIII. De acuerdo con el censo de 2011, 20.282 personas se declararon de nacionalidad tártara, la mayoría de ellos tártaros de Crimea radicados en el Distrito de Constanţa. Constituyen la principal representación de religión islámica en Rumanía.

Historia

Edad media
Las raíces de la comunidad de los tártaros de Crimea presente en Rumanía se encuentran en la migración de cumanos del siglo X. No obstante, antes incluso de la llegada de los cumanos, otros pueblos túrquicos, como los hunos y los búlgaros ya se habían asentado en la región. Los tártaros llegaron a las bocas del Danubio a mediados del siglo XIII, en el momento de máximo apogeo de la Horda de Oro. En 1241, bajo el liderazgo de Kadan, los tártaros cruzaron el Danubio, conquistando y devastando la región. Probablemente, esta región no quedó directamente sometida al dominio de la Horda, sino bajo un vasallo del Kan de Bajchisarai. Gracias a las fuentes árabes, se sabe que a finales del siglo XIII y principios del siglo XIV algunos descendientes de la Horda de Nogái se asentaron en Isaccea. Otro erudito árabe, Ibn Battuta, quién pasó por la región en 1330–31, se refiere a la ciudad de Baba Saltuk (Babadag) como la posición más meridional de los tártaros.

La Horda de Oro empezó a perder su influencia después de las guerras de 1352-1359 y, en esa época, hay registros de un jefe militar tártaro, llamado Demetrius, defendiendo las ciudades de las Bocas del Danubio. En los siglos XIV y XV el Imperio otomano colonizó Dobruja con nogayos de Budzhak. Entre 1593 y 1595 los tártaros de Nogai y Budzhak se habían asentado también en Dobruja (Frederick de Jong).

Edad moderna temprana
Hacia finales del siglo XVI, aproximadamente 30.000 tártaros nogayos de Budzhak fueron traídos a Dobruja.

Tras la anexión rusa de Crimea en 1783, los tártaros de Crimea empezaron a emigrar a las provincias costeras del imperio otomano de Dobruja (hoy divididas entre Rumanía y Bulgaria). Una vez en Dobruja, la mayor parte se asentó en las áreas que rodean Medgidia, Babadag, Constanza, Tulcea, Silistra, Beştepe o Varna y comenzaron a crear pueblos llamados en honor de su patria abandonada como Şirin, Yayla, Akmecit, Yalta, Kefe o Beybucak.

Edad moderna tardía
De 1783 a 1853 decenas de miles de tártaros de Crimea y de nogayos emigraron a la región de Ruse, que acabaría siendo llamada "la pequeña Tartaria". A raíz de la conquista rusa de 1812, los nogayos de Budzhak también emigraron a Dobruja. Los tártaros asentados en Dobruja antes del gran éxodo de 1860 eran conocidos como Kabail. Formaron el escuadrón tártaro Kabail Tatar integrado en el ejército Nizam-ı Cedid (Nueva Orden) del sultán Selim III. Tuvieron un papel esencial en la lucha de Mahmut II contra Mehmet Ali Pasha de Egipto, aplastando las rebeliones en Bosnia y Herzegovina, el Kurdistán y las provincias árabes, y combatieron junto con los otomanos durante la Guerra de Crimea.

Los tártaros, junto con los albaneses, sirvieron como basi-bozuk (mercenarios), tenidos en alta estima por los otomanos, por lo que recibieron privilegios especiales en materia fiscal. Los otomanos concedieron, además, un cierto grado de autonomía a los tártaros, que fueron autorizados a gobernarse por su propio kaymakam, Kan Mirza. La dinastía Giray (1427-1878) se consolidó en Dobruja y mantuvo una posición respetada. Un tártaro de Dobruja, Kara Hussein, fue el  responsable de la destrucción del cuerpo de jenízaros bajo las órdenes del sultán Mahmut II.

Se estima que a partir de 1877-1878 entre 80.000 y 100.000 tártaros de Crimea emigraron de Dobruja a Anatolia, migración que continuó en menor medida hasta la Primera Guerra Mundial. Las razones para la emigración eran muchas: en 1883, el gobierno rumano aprobó leyes que imponían el servicio militar obligatorio para todos los ciudadanos rumanos, incluyendo a los tártaros, a quienes preocupaba que luchar en un ejército cristiano fuese en contra de su identidad musulmana. Otras razones incluían la hambruna de 1899 en Dobruja, varias leyes de 1880 a 1885 confiscatorias de tierras propiedad de tártaros y turcos, y las Guerras balcánicas (1912–13), que devastaron la región.

De principios del siglo XX a la Segunda Guerra Mundial

En el último cuarto del s. XIX comenzó a emerger una identidad nacional única de los tártaros de Crimea en Dobruja. Cuando Ismail Gasprinski, considerado por muchos como el padre del nacionalismo de los tártaros de Crimea, visitó Köstence (Constanţa) en 1895 descubrió que su diario Tercüman contaba ya con una amplia difusión. No obstante, es al poeta Mehmet Niyazi a quien se considera el principal responsable de extender las ideas nacionalistas entre los tártaros de Dobruja. Tras la caída del gobierno tártaro en Crimea, Dobruja se convirtió en el principal destino de refugio para los tártaros de Crimea. Muchos de estos refugiados abrazaron los postulados del Prometeísmo, movimiento ideado por el polaco Józef Pilsudski con el objetivo de lograr la autonomía de las nacionalidades presentes en las repúblicas soviéticas. Durante este periodo, la comunidad en Dobruja estaba liderada por Mustecip Hacı Fazıl (que más tarde tomaría el apellido Ulkusal). En 1918, cuando tenía 19 años de edad, se trasladó a Crimea para enseñar en escuelas tártaras y publicó el primer diario en tártaro en Dobruja, Emel, de 1930 a 1940. Él y otros nacionalistas se opusieron a la emigración tártara de Dobruja a Turquía por considerar preferible el reasentamiento en Crimea.

En la década de 1920, Dobruja siguió siendo el principal destino para los refugiados que huían de los Soviets. Los tártaros eran relativamente libres para organizarse políticamente y para publicar revistas basadas en ideas nacionalistas. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial muchos tártaros huyeron de Crimea y se refugiaron con familias Crimeas en Dobruja, que posteriormente serían severamente castigadas por la Rumanía Comunista. Los refugiados que intentaron escapar por mar fueron atacados por aviones del Ejército Rojo, mientras que quienes siguieron la ruta terrestre vía Moldavia consiguieron alcanzar Dobruja antes de que el Ejército Rojo capturara y deportara a la mayoría de ellos a Siberia el 18 de  mayo de 1944. Necip Hacı Fazıl, responsable del comité de evacuación, fue ejecutado y su hermano Müstecip Hacı Fazıl huyó a Turquía.

Situación posterior a la Segunda Guerra Mundial
En 1940, Dobruja meridional fue entregado a Bulgaria y sobre 1977 un número estimado de 23.000 tártaros vivía en Rumanía. Según Nermin Eren esa cifra aumentó a alrededor de 40.000 en la década de 1990. En 2005, la Unión Democrática de tártaros turco-musulmanes de Rumanía afirmó que existían 50.000 tártaros en Rumanía, considerando que la estimación realizada por el censo oficial era artificialmente baja porque la mayoría de tártaros se identificaron a sí mismos como turcos. Nermin Eren también calculó que el número de tártaros en Bulgaria rondaba los 20.000 en la década de 1990. Las fuentes búlgaras, por el contrario, los sitúan alrededor de 6.000, aunque son conscientes de que la mayoría de tártaros están casados con turcos o se identifican como turcos. Entre 1947 y 1957 empezaron a funcionar escuelas en tártaro en Rumanía y en 1955 se creó un alfabeto especial para la comunidad tártara. En 1990, se creó la Unión Democrática de tártaros turco-musulmanes. Actualmente Rumanía respeta los derechos de la minoría tártara y no aplica políticas de Rumanización.

Subgrupos

Tártaros de Crimea
Los tártaros de Crimea fueron traídos a Dobruja por los otomanos a resultas del creciente poder de los rusos en la región y su anexión de Crimea en 1783. Sin embargo, después de la independencia de Rumanía en 1877-1878, entre 80.000 y 100.000 tártaros de Crimea se trasladaron a Anatolia, una migración qué continuó después. Como tal, el número de tártaros en Dobruja septentrional bajó del 21% en 1880 al 5,6% en 1912. En 2002, constituían el 2,4% de la población.

Nogayos
Los nogayos integrados en la población tártara no se contabilizan por separado en los censos de Rumanía. La mayoría ha emigrado a Turquía pero se estima que unos cuantos millares de nogayos todavía viven en Dobruja, especialmente en la ciudad de Mihail Kogălniceanu (Karamurat) y en los pueblos de Lumina (Kocali), Valea Dacilor (Hendekkarakuyusu) y Cobadin (Kubadin).

At the movies: Julie Andrews
(Minimal linguistic content.)
In the March 30th NYT, "After 50 Years, It's Time for a Better 'Sound of Music'" by Lawrence Downes, beginning:
"The Sound of Music," the movie, turns 50 this year, as popular as ever, a bedrock memory of untold millions of childhoods. Mine, for sure. Some far-off day, when neural engineers do a digital download of my dying brain, they will find, way back with the oldest grudges and PIN numbers, the "Sound of Music" soundtrack, every line and rhyme. She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee. When the dog bites. Yodel-ay-hee-hoo.
The movie is returning to theaters for two days in April, and no doubt many in middle age will go, to visit an old friend who they hope hasn't aged a bit.
A few may be disappointed. "The Sound of Music" is a great movie, but it isn't a very good one. Critics in 1965 recoiled from its operetta schmaltz, its wooden acting, the sentimental goop poured all over what was already considered one of the sappier Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals. They were right, even though the movie's many devotees will disagree, now and forever.
Don't get me wrong — I love the movie and still enjoy making fun of it. But I often wonder why it has never been reimagined, rescued from its reputation, reborn as a movie to enjoy for reasons other than nostalgia or camp.
Downes's criticisms are right on the mark, I think; considered dispassionately, The Sound of Music is a dreadful movie. But notice that he doesn't indict the star, Julie Andrews. I submit that her oh-so-sweetly sentimental persona fits right into the rest of the travesty, and that it detracts from almost all of her other performances. Yes, this is very much a minority opinion, but there it is.
Downes continues his proposal to fix The Sound of Music:
I had this thought after seeing "South Pacific" in its first Broadway revival; the director, Bartlett Sher, shook off the dated racial themes and left it radically refreshed. I remember, too, how the director Trevor Nunn, with Hugh Jackman as Curly, darkened "Oklahoma!" and made it almost terrifying.
Shouldn't it be possible, without total demolition, to respectfully upend everyone's idea of "The Sound of Music"? To unearth cruelty and carnality, honesty and deep feeling, all the things that lie buried under all that Salzburg sunshine and the radiance of Julie Andrews? [Note that Andrews is blameless in all of this: she's radiant. But fix all the rest, Downes says.]
In other words: Is this story really as one-dimensional as we think it is?
Here is Maria, a girl supposedly so wild and unfit for the convent that one nun suggests tying a cowbell on her neck. Another supplies the perfect tag line: "She's a wonderful girl — some of the time." There is the captain, who has seven (seven!) children. He also has issues, as we see from the moment he meets Maria and tells her he wants her out of that dress.
Rodgers and Hammerstein were no babes on Broadway. [Perhaps the problem is that with The Sound of Music they were at the end of their collaboration, which started with Oklahoma! in 1943, and they'd just run out of steam.] Their shows often have secondary couples who, unlike the prim leads, couple from the get-go. In "Oklahoma!," Ado Annie just cain't say no. "South Pacific" has Lieutenant Cable and young Liat, who meet and mate in about a minute. In "The Sound of Music," it's the daughter Liesl and Rolf, the Nazi telegram boy, whose name sounds like what I want to do whenever he's on the screen. Their duet, in a gazebo in a thunderstorm, is all about sex and crossed signals. She's ready; he's an idiot. Later, she sneaks into the house, soaked, and Maria lies to cover for her.
"The Sound of Music" is never going to be "Spring Awakening," the rock musical about sex-addled 19th-century German adolescents. But there is a lot that isn't saccharine in the source material: devotion and desolation, spiritual fervor and erotic longing. A lonely captain who dumps his rich girlfriend for the babysitter. All that, plus lusty goatherds. And Nazis!
Now back to Andrews:
Poor Ms. Andrews has been lugging this rucksack over the Alps for 50 years. It's time for another Maria to take it from here. What's Lady Gaga doing?
I mean no insult to the lovely, the luminous, the practically perfect Ms. Andrews. But I liked her better in that other movie, the one where she plays an unlicensed caregiver who is hired to provide structure to two at-risk children, but instead brings them to hang with her boyfriend, a street musician who likes to get high at his uncle's house. Can there be wit, irony and genuine laughs in a family film? Yes — keep "Mary Poppins" just as it is.
Oh, God. Mary Poppins is the very nadir of Andrews's oeuvre. The title character has been transformed from the stern and often cross Mary Poppins of the Travers books to a sweetly fey Julie Andrews character, and Dick Van Dyke's Cockney chimney sweep is deeply embarrassing.
Despite what I see as damning flaws in both movies, both of them won five Academy Awards and seem to be beloved by millions.
Wikipedia on Andrews:
Dame Julia "Julie" Elizabeth Andrews, DBE, (born 1 October 1935) is an English film and stage actress, singer, author, theatre director and dancer. Andrews, a former child actress and singer, appeared on the West End in 1948, and made her Broadway debut in a 1954 production of The Boy Friend. She rose to prominence starring in musicals such as My Fair Lady and Camelot, both of which earned her Tony Award nominations. In 1957, she appeared on television with the title role in the musical Cinderella, which was seen by over 100 million viewers.
I'm not totally down on Andrews, though; I very much like Victor Victoria, in which her character (a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman) has some edge to it — and in which she was working with a very strong supporting cast: James Garner, Robert Preston, Lesley Ann Warren, Alex Karras. Still, I think the high point of the movie is Preston's broad burlesque "The Shady Dame from Seville":

One Response to "At the movies: Julie Andrews"
Stan Carey Says:
It might amuse you to know (if you didn't already) that a line in The Sound of Music has become a minor running joke in Australia for phonological reasons: Peggy Wood as the Mother Abbess asks Julie Andrews's character, 'What is it you can't face?', and the penultimate phrase is reanalysed as a coarse insult. I edited a guest post on this at Strong Language last week.

For understanding how we really want to work out
It's safe to say that Brynn Putnam, a former professional ballerina and the founder of Refine, a group of three fitness clubs in New York City, knows a thing or two about exercise. But, after having a baby, she found herself in an unthinkable position: she was a gym owner with no time to go to the gym. Putnam also noticed her Refine members loved it when she installed more mirrors, something Putnam had been used to as a ballerina. Putnam hooked up a Raspberry Pi computer to a mirror to create a hacked-together mirror-slash-fitness instructor. Many iterations later, that product became Mirror, which streams fitness classes and is second only to Peloton as the breakout fitness product of the pandemic. Retailing at $1,495 plus subscription fees of $39 a month for on-demand classes, Mirror is not for everyone. In July, though, Lululemon decided it definitely was for them, and purchased the company for $500 million. –Gabrielle Bienasz

Walker-Miller Energy Services
For making an energy services company a tool for social justice
In Michigan, where the current minimum wage is $9.65 an hour, Carla Walker-Miller took a stand in 2018 when she began hiring workers at a minimum of $15 an hour. She didn't stop there: She adopted a policy where people with criminal records are still fairly considered for employment. "I believe in modeling decisions that put the team first," says Walker-Miller. "That way, everyone from the receptionist to the security guard to your customer experience manager knows that you're invested in them, and they'll put that same investment in you and your company."
Walker-Miller Energy Services was initially founded in 2000 to be an energy product supplier, but grew to focus on energy efficiency for residential and commercial clients after Michigan passed 2009 legislation requiring better efficiency in energy use. Walker-Miller's company landed on the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies for five of the years between 2007 and 2016. – Anna Meyer

Why It's So Important to Find Your Tribe for Success
Two Female Founders on Why a Strong Company Culture Is Key to Success
Carolyn Rodz
A free multi-channel platform sourcing funding, networks and services for entrepreneurs while tracking data and trends to increase success rates.
Carolyn Rodz is no stranger to entrepreneurship: She's started two digital marketing businesses (one successful, one less so) and ran a luxury retail copmany. More recently, she launched a virtual accelerator aimed at women and people of color, then teamed up with fellow entrepreneur Elizabeth Gore to evolve that program into Hello Alice, a learning platform for under-represented founders. The platform has partners including eBay and PepsiCo and is free to entrepreneurs.
The partnership between Rodz and Gore has been key to the success of Hello Alice: Rodz and her family moved in with Gore and her family in the Bay Area – so four kids total -- to get Hello Alice off the ground. When Rodz' dad died right before Hello Alice launched, Gore jumped in, and Rodz took over when Gore's mom was diagnosed with cancer. And when possible, they're looking out for their larger community of entrepreneurs. When Hello Alice raised its most recent round of funding, it designed legal language to make it easier to get rid of investors who turn out to be harassers or assaulters – and is making that language available to other founders, too. –Gabrielle Bienasz

The 2007 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships – Women's elite race was held on Sunday 28 January 2007 as a part of the 2007 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships in Hooglede-Gits, Belgium.

Summary

With defending champion Marianne Vos unable to keep up with the pace and her compatriot Daphny van den Brand crashing in the early stage of the race top favourite Hanka Kupfernagel started great and took the lead. Halfway through the race she suffered a mechanical problem and was dropped back. As a result two French outsiders Maryline Salvetat and Laurence Leboucher were in the lead alongside surprising American Katie Compton. In the final round Leboucher dropped the pace and Compton had to close the gap towards Salvetat, but eventually failed, resulting in the rainbow jersey for Salvetat. Compton clinched the silver and Leboucher won a bronze medal.

Dorota Warczyk from Poland abandoned the race.

This Is What Made The Original Tesla Roadster So Special
Elon Musk has progressed the Tesla brand from a niche business for the few into an electric vehicle empire that has consistently broken the train of thought when it comes to the everyday usage of plug-in cars.
Before the revolutionary Model 3 was released to the masses, the then Silicon valley start-up was experimenting with what they could produce with just an electric powertrain. With a love for sports cars himself, Elon Musk began developing the Tesla Roadster.
The goal with the Tesla Roadster was to emulate the emotion and driving experience of a lightweight sports car whilst showcasing the innovation and creativity that tesla had been developing with their electric drivetrains.
As Tesla has announced a new generation of the Roadster due for release in 2022, let's look back at the original Tesla Roadster and all the things that made it perhaps the most special car that Tesla has designed so far.
RELATED: How The Tesla Model 3 Is The Fastest-Selling Used Car In The US
It Was The First Tesla
Via AutoEvo
In 2003, Tesla Inc. was founded by two American entrepreneurs Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, the company was named after Serbian inventor Nikola Tesla. The majority of the funding for the venture came from Elon Musk, who would go on to become CEO.
Then in 2008, Tesla released their first car. The completely electric Tesla Roadster was groundbreaking. It could achieve up to 245 miles on a single charge, which at the time was a range unprecedented for any production electric car. Performance figures were comparable to that of most lightweight gas-powered sports cars. the Roadster could see off the 0-60MPH sprint in just 3.7 seconds and could go on to reach a top speed of 125 miles per hour.
via Bring a Trailer
The lightweight car body was made of carbon fiber and was based on the chassis of the already popular Lotus Elise. The Roadster set the theme for Tesla, producing no running emissions at all as it did not use any form of an internal combustion engine. Despite its sportiness and nimble handling, Tesla found that the Roadster reached efficiency ratings equivalent to gas mileage of 135 miles per gallon.
The vehicle's electric powertrain was made up of lithium-ion cells, the same kind used in laptop batteries, these could be recharged from a standard electric outlet, as it was a while away from the supercharger infrastructure they have today. Despite the government discount, the Roadster ended up costing $109,000, so it was a long way from the affordability Tesla has achieved today.
Why The Tesla Roadster Was So Special
via TeslaClub
Despite only having a single-speed transmission, the Tesla Roadster provides a truly spirited drive. With all the power going to the rear wheels and extremely sharp and nimble handling it was a really special package. All this meant that the Roadster became the first electric vehicle to win the Monte Carlo Alternative Energy Rally.
As well as this, the Roadster was awarded a number of awards for innovation and overall design. It was truly a push of the boundaries for all things automotive and showcased the extent of Tesla's research and development network. It was the world's first truly green supercar and the first electric car you can use every day.
For a car that was released over 14 years ago, it was truly ahead of its time. the first electric vehicle to travel more than 200 miles on a single charge. During its production run from 2008 until 2012, Tesla sold just 2,450 examples, one going into the garage of eco-advocate Leonardo DiCaprio. Although the technology used in the original Roadster is undoubtedly modern, it may appear quite ancient to those who have become familiar with current Tesla models.
The Roadster itself was for the first time an electric car with a usable and livable range accompanied by genuinely thrilling dynamics whilst being offered as a commercial proposition that could be purchased. At the time, most electric cars announced by manufacturers were no more than a concept, a PR stunt that would never see the light of production.
Via AutoPowerGirl
A drop-top sports convertible, with an electric powertrain providing instant torque to the rear wheels, it was a recipe the world had never seen before. While the Roadster shares lots of common mechanical components with the Lotus Elise on which it is based, the body panels and drivetrain are fully Tesla.
The subsequent success of future Tesla models makes the Roadster all the more intriguing and special. Not only is it a very interesting car to drive, but it's the earliest Tesla and one of the earliest production electric cars.
With such a legendary legacy and taking such a significant point in the history of electric cars, the Tesla Roadster goes down as one of the most special and collectible pieces in automotive history. With such small production numbers they are already fetching a premium, and with time it's no doubt that they will continue to appreciate.

The Fantastic Four Will Not Be Appearing At San Diego Comic-Con 2014
By Eric Eisenberg published 23 July 14
This year's San Diego Comic-Con is going to be jam-packed with all kinds of huge comic book movie news. While nothing has been officially confirmed, fans around the world are expecting to hear big announcements from both Marvel Studios and Warner Bros./DC Comics, whom we expect to confirm new projects and perhaps even reveal a few new casting choices. Unfortunately, there is at least one 2015 superhero flick that we won't be seeing anything from at this year's big expo: Josh Trank's The Fantastic Four.
Speaking with Latino-Review, producer/writer Simon Kinberg confirmed that next year's big Fantastic Four reboot will not have a presence at this year's Comic-Con - despite the fact that 20th Century Fox is hosting a panel this year in the San Diego Convention center's famous Hall H. Asked if fans can expect any kind of footage or big reveal, Kinberg said,
"I can definitively officially tell you that there will not be anything from Fantastic Four at this year's Comic Con. We are still very much in the middle of shooting and we don't want to show anything until it's ready and it's not ready yet. We want the first stuff that we show from the film to really blow people away, and it will but we have got to wait until it's ready."
While that idea makes a good amount of sense in theory - why show anything if it's not your best work? - it's still strange that the production didn't actually make any kind of real effort to have something ready for San Diego Comic-Con. Both Captain America: The First Avenger and Guardians of the Galaxy were only 1-2 weeks into production when they had their times in Hall H back in 2010 and 2013, respectively, and yet they made sure to have something prepped for the Comic-Con crowd. The Fantastic Four, meanwhile, has been in production since April - but apparently no big plans were made in advance to have something ready for a San Diego appearance. Instead, Kinberg says that the folks behind the film are right now mostly focused on "perfection."
"When we really step forward we want it to be with our best foot forward. Instead of rushing something together for the Con we'd rather really wait until we have that perfect first image, perfect first sequence and first scene to show people."
Of course, just because The Fantastic Four won't be at San Diego Comic-Con doesn't mean that it won't be potentially making appearances at other big fan events that will be occurring between now and when the film arrives in theaters next summer. Said Kinberg,
"Yes, there is New York [Comic-Con], there's Wonder Con, there is a lot of other places were we may indeed pop up with a surprise down the road. It just didn't time out well this year and we are really so focused on making the film here in Baton Rouge and its going great. You have a lot of people that want to do something really special."
The Fantastic Four, which stars Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell, Toby Kebbell, and Reg E. Cathey, will be in theaters June 19, 2015.

Statistics Canada Looks to Crowdsourced Data on Marijuana Pricing
Matthew Sourgoutsidis
How much should legal marijuana cost? Stats Canada is utilizing crowdsourced data to find the answer.
Crush the black market: one of the Canadian government's main goals on the road to marijuana legalization. To succeed in that goal, they need to know how much weed costs on the streets and undercut the prices of illegal cannabis sales. Now, crowdsourced data from thousands of Cannabis users will be utilized to help attain that data.
Information from PriceofWeed.com, a website that allows customers to anonymously reveal how much they pay for cannabis, will be analyzed to help create a price index model for legal marijuana sales. This data will be combined with Health Canada's first-ever survey of medical and recreational cannabis users.
Health Experts Recommend Community Based Studies
However, public health experts argue that crowdsourced methods won't provide data on the illegal part of the industry. If the federal government is serious about beating the underground competition, they recommend community-based studies. These studies would collect data from illegal cannabis users before and after legalization. Experts agree that the price of legal cannabis must be low enough to undercut black-market cannabis, but there are varying estimates of "how low."
Researchers stated the data has limitations but that this is an area "ripe for future research." – Via Broadly
A study by Public Safety Canada states that the national average on PriceofWeed.com from 2011 to 2015 was $7.69. In 2017, the average gram of "high quality" bud on the site costs less, at around $7.50. This is based on 10,000 submissions over the past seven years. In contrast, a report by the Parliamentary Budget Officer estimates that $8.84 was the average price of a black-market gram. However, it states prices vary considerably across the country. The report stated,
"The current data collection efforts are simply not sufficient for scholars and policymakers to assess the impact of legalization on the behavior of consumers of cannabis and other substances."
The July 1st Deadline is Fast Approaching
But time is running out, as Canada prepares to become the second national case study on the dangers and benefits of legal cannabis. Ottawa is scrambling create a framework and policy to measure the effects of the largest policy shift in the last century. Uruguay was first to legalize the recreational sale and use of the drug, but access has been limited. Not to mention, Uruguay has a population that is a fraction of Canada's.
For Canada to succeed with legalization, they must draw from existing models. But the country will be stepping into uncharted territory facing challenges surrounding their geographic size and population. Especially being the first G8 country to legalize.

With the use of marijuana becoming legal in most states, it comes as no secret that the cannabis industry is booming as it makes a shift from the black market to the mainstream. Following this trend, entrepreneurs, distributors, and tech experts are actively investing in the cannabis industry and for

Newa is the newest at-home tool in the battle against wrinkles and problem skin. The treatment is clinically proven to protect skin texture on the face and neck, tightening skin and smoothing wrinkles. Newa brings painless, professional-grade, non-invasive treatment to your own home.
Newa is different than lotions and creams, which only target and manipulate the superficial top layers of your epidermis. Newa permeates to the root of skin production. The applicator is gently passed along the skin of the neck and face until a vibration signals the end of the 4 minute treatment period.
Each Newa treatment lasts 4 minutes. For the first month, at least 5 applications should be performed to ensure consistent new and healthy collagen development. Subsequently, only 2 applications are necessary per week for 6 months.
The Newa applicator uses '3Deep' radio-frequency (RF) technology- a safe and effective technique that has produced satisfying results in tens of thousands treatments across the globe.
The RF energy generated from collaborating positive and negative ions settle deep in the dermal tissue where collagen formation and elastin fiber fortification takes place. These safe and naturally occurring frequencies rapidly move water molecules in the skin, enabling gentle warming effects. Even though you will experience warmth down below, the surface of your skin will remain cool.
DOES IT REALLY GET RID OF MY WRINKLES?
If you remain dedicated, Newa will really get the job done. In a dermal study, three independent dermatologists were asked to analyze over 6,000 before and after photographs of sixty patients who had been performing Newa treatments for 3 months. The doctors concluded that over 95% of patients exhibited visible reduction in neck and facial wrinkles.
This product is useful for developing strong neck and facial collagen regeneration over the course of 6 months. For those seeking a comprehensive quick fix to their wrinkle troubles, Newa may not be for them. Although it produces lifting and tightening with every application, it will take at least 1 month to reach the prescribed goal. Additionally, you might want to look for other products or professional treatments if wrinkling and cellulite located elsewhere on your body are your priorities. Newa only targets the neck and face and is not designed for any other part of your skin.
The Newa system is a reliable at-home option for skin rejuvenation. Contact Healthy Skin Portal for a free consultation if you are interested in this new, unique treatment! Even though at-home skin care of this degree is exciting and convenient, it is best to schedule a visit with your doctor to explore the best course of action for your epidermis. Every neck and every face is different. Research the safest and most effective options for your unique skin care at the Healthy Skin Portal!

I'm posting the last prompt from 2015 NEXT. Going into 2016 has not made me move at any faster of a pace. Still fitting things in around general living.
I've mentioned a couple of times already that my Words for 2016 are Onwards and Upwards. I know those are probably not spelled correctly but they are my words and I'm sticking with them.
Through all the general living, clubs, horse lessons, science experiments, I will be squeezing in art.
I've got a lot of supplies and I'm planning on using A LOT of them this year. So I say.
I haven't looked at the first prompt for 2016 yet or don't remember it if I did, but I'm looking forward to delving into the list.
Church tomorrow, school Tuesday, so on and so forth.
Brilliant inchie for the topic next.


Beth Allen of the United States stepped up to receive recognition for her phenomenal 2016 season at the Ladies European Tour awards dinner in Dubai where she was presented with a salver, an Omega watch and a cheque for 20,000 euros.
The 35-year-old from San Diego, who lists laughing, karaoke and happy hours among her favourite hobbies, became the first American player to win the LET Order of Merit in the 38-year history of the organisation with earnings of 313,079 euros from 16 tournaments, to finish 106,414 euros ahead of second placed Aditi Ashok from India, the LET's leading rookie professional.
Beth achieved two victories and six further top 10 finishes in 2016. Her season started in style with a fourth place finish at the ISPS HANDA Women's Australian Open and she then finished third at the Buick Championship in China. A tie for sixth at the ISPS HANDA Ladies European Masters preceded a second place finish in the Andalucia Costa del Sol Open de España. She fought back from the heartbreak of defeat on the final hole to win the Lacoste Ladies Open de France and the inaugural Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open in Abu Dhabi back-to-back, before securing another tie for sixth at the Hero Women's Indian Open.
Beth's journey on the LET began in 2008 but she steadily improved year by year. In fact, there was a marked improvement in 2011, the year that she donated a kidney to her brother, Dan, in March. She returned to compete on tour just two months later and that year jumped from 52nd to 19th on the Order of Merit.
The improvement continued and in 2015, Beth earned her breakthrough win at the ISPS HANDA Ladies European Masters, at the LET's base, Buckinghamshire Golf Club in England, which was the first time that she worked with four-time Order of Merit winner Sophie Gustafson as her caddie.
In July 2016, having moved to Edinburgh, Scotland, Beth settled down and married, just prior to the best stretch of results of her career.
Beth's season, and story, means that she will now join the LET's list of all-time greats.


Trends in the retail industry are inevitably affected and influenced by technological advancements, changing market conditions and evolving consumer behavior. Consequently, both retailers and commercial real estate operators will have to improvise and adapt quickly to such changes in order to stay competitive in their markets.
We reached out to various industry experts in the retail sector to provide their perspective on what they are excited about and where retail trends are heading in 2018.
2018 should be a continuation of more disruption in the retail industry. Uses of concern include big boxes, pharmacies, bank branches, automotive, and food halls. The challenge as big boxes become available is there are no new retailers of size looking for space to backfill these vacancies. Alternative uses will be necessary to fill these big box spaces. Never more important is the old adage: Location, Location, Location-for example, the soon to be vacant Toys 'R Us boxes will be more easily leased because of their phenomenal locations. The pharmacy industry will continue to come under attack with Amazon jumping in this industry in a big way The Banking industry will continue to make changes on how they serve their clientele. How much longer will they need 4 – 6,000 sf branches?
When was the last time you were in a bank branch? Bank of America closed a majority of their drive thru lanes in the last few years. The downsizing of their branches should be next. Unlike the big boxes, these buildings should be more easily released and redeveloped-again because of their locations, usually at hard corners and lighted intersections. The automotive industry due to self- driving cars and ride shares will contribute to changes in the automotive uses such as parking garages, travel plazas (truck stops), tire shops and oil lubes service centers. Then there are the proposed food halls. The amount of proposed food halls cannot all be completed nor be successful if done. A few can bring uniqueness to a project, but we definitely do not need the projected number that are on the books for South Florida.
That being said, the South Florida real estate climate remains frothy. Pricing continues to be high, rents are growing in high demand markets such as Aventura, Pinecrest and Doral, and development is at an all-time low. Tenants' sales volumes in these markets continue to be reporting high as well.
Despite the constant evolution of the retail sector, there is ample liquidity across the risk spectrum for various acquisition opportunities, although seemingly more for core-plus/value-add opportunities.
As we near the end of 2017, we continue to be in a low interest and cap environment, and investors agree that pricing of commercial real estate is frothy. As such, cap-rate spreads are of concern should rates rise more rapidly than expected.
Although fundamentals show relative stability, retail is clearly in transition creating some aversion to retail investments and causing transaction volume to be down double-digits in 2017. Given the changes, and the headline risk around retail, institutional investors are following retailer's leads and focusing on primary markets and gateway cities in an effort to minimize risk. This institutional focus on primary markets has made it challenging for private investors to transact in them, driving many private buyers to focus on secondary markets where competition is thin.

Parexel rides clinical trial growth in Peru
10 December 2008 - Pharma Times
Parexel's recent decision to open an office in Lima reflects the rapid emergence in Latin America of transitional markets for contract research such as Peru, Chile and Columbia, the US company says.
These countries sit in-between the "traditional" markets for contract research in the region – Argentina, Brazil and Mexico – and "non-traditional" markets such as Ecuador, Uruguay and Venezuela, explains Graciela Racaro, Parexel International's director of Latin America operations.
The volume of clinical trials in Peru, Chile and Columbia has increased significantly over the past few years, Racaro notes. In Peru, for example, the Ministry of Health approved 74-78 clinical trials per year between 2000 and 2003, whereas in 2007 the number rose to 118 and in the current year 115 trials had been cleared by November.
This is partly a function of the new clinical trial legislation enacted in 2006, based on the Declaration of Helsinki and International Conference on Harmonisation standards for Good Clinical Practice. As Racaro comments, Peru "took [clinical trials] very seriously". But there have also been improvements in infrastructure, with many more trial sites and clinical research associates.
Previously, Racaro points out, there was no site infrastructure in most of Peru's cities. Now, good sites may be found not just in the capital Lima but in other cities such as Arequipa.
This is important as 73% of Peru's 27.9 million population is urban – a 'mega-city' trend typical of the Latin American markets. In fact, considerably more of Argentina's population (90.4%) is concentrated in cities while 85.2% and 76.5% respectively of the Brazilian and Mexican population is urban (in the US the proportion is 81.4%, according to Parexel data).
As of 2007 (INEI data), 30.8% or 8.45 million of the Peruvian population could be found in Lima, 6.1% in Piura, 5.9% in La Libertad, 4.3% in Cusco, 4.2% in Arequipa, 4.1% in Lambayeque and 3.2% in Callao.

The sheer size of the populations in Latin America is another attraction for contract research organisations (CROs) – over 565 million people overall, with 191.8 million in Brazil, 106.5 million in Mexico and 39.5 million in Argentina. Peru is a little further down the scale although, as Racaro observes, it still compares very favourably with other markets for outsourcing in Central and Eastern Europe, such as the Czech Republic and Hungary with populations of around 10 million apiece.
The bulk of Peru's healthcare facilities are, unsurprisingly, located in Lima, where there are some 600 healthcare centres, 140 hospitals and 450 health posts (small clinics). Arequipa, by way of comparison, has just under a hundred healthcare centres, about 20 hospitals and 200 health posts.
Across the country, doctors and nurses are relatively thin on the ground compared with the US or some other Latin American countries. Parexel data (sourced from PAHO, year to December 2007) show that Peru has 10 physicians and nine nurses per 10,000 inhabitants, while the US has 22.5 and 78.5 respectively, Mexico 10.4/13.4, Brazil 16.1/5.4 and Argentina 33.4/2.2.
Regulatory boost
The new regulations governing clinical trials in Peru have been a significant fillip for CROs, offering "really clear rules" not just for licensing and conducting studies but for infrastructure requirements such as making sure there are private and administrative areas at trial sites, Racaro says.
There are currently 303 investigation sites registered with the Peruvian Ministry of Health as well as 22 ethics committees. Another benefit is a genuine focus on high-quality support for the trial process, Racaro adds. Peru, like Columbia, maintains an "excellent" website with comprehensive information on local clinical trials.
The study approval process is a sequential one, whereby applications must first be cleared by a registered ethics committee then submitted to the Ministry of Health. According to Racaro, the first stage takes three to seven weeks and the second six to eight weeks. Another three or so weeks are needed to obtain an import licence. The whole process adds up to 22-24 weeks, in line with several European countries and less onerous than in Latin American markets such as Brazil and Venezuela, Racaro points out.
Inevitably cost savings also come into the equation. In this respect Peru is closer to countries such as Argentina and Chile than the massive Brazilian market, Racaro notes, putting the cost differential at 70-75% of the US or Western Europe. And with the devaluation of the Brazilian currency, savings are now less pronounced in that market.

You eat right, you exercise and yet you still cannot get to your weight loss goal. The answer could be that you're not giving yourself enough recovery, downtime or most importantly, sleep.
Sleep is so pertinent to making sure you maintain optimum health. Sleep restores all of the resources our body depletes throughout the day. It is essential for repairing muscles, as well as helping them grow. It is also a leading component needed for tissue repair and hormone function.
It is recommended that adults get seven to nine hours of sleep a night in order to feel well rested. However, an even more recent study has found that Americans are getting less and less sleep than they did in the past. Lawrence J. Epstein, a Sleep Physician at Harvard University and contributor to Newsweek.com cites several studies about the decline in America's sleep habits.
Sleep deprivation has been linked to obesity and obesity related illnesses such as high blood pressure and heart disease. However, the restorative effects of sleep can help reverse some health related side-effects.

Fahr's disease is a rare syndrome characterized by symmetrical and bilateral intracranial calcifications. We report a 21-year-old male who presented with aggression, talkativeness, restlessness, and insomnia of recent onset. His neurological examination was normal. Mental status examination and clinical investigation revealed mania. Brain revealed symmetrical large areas and foci of calcification in bilateral basal ganglia and subcortical regions of cerebral hemispheres. This is the first reported case of mania associated with Fahr's disease in a Kashmiri patient. The description highlights the importance of considering organic causes when encountering patients with mania. The patient was put on mood stabilizers and his abnormal behaviors improved within 4 weeks.

This article explores the concept of soldiers as professional authors, confronting the enduring myth of 'accidental' military autobiography. To do so it concentrates on case studies of British veterans from the Peninsular War (1808–14), who wrote and published military memoirs in their hundreds, contributing to the creation of an influential and commercially successful genre. In their prefaces, these old soldiers frequently confessed their astonishment at having produced long narrative accounts, professing not to have the slightest literary talent nor education, nor the least authorial ambition – claims which have largely been taken at face value by historians. Drawing upon evidence from publishers' archives, however, this article reveals the immense and sometimes frenzied editing, publishing and marketing activity which in fact usually underlay the facade of the simple soldier's tale. Considering these memoir-writers as authors in their own right, the article showcases veterans from a wide variety of backgrounds who were actively involved in the publication of their books, knowledgeable about the industry, and eager for success in the literary rather than military world. More broadly, it challenges ideas about how the memory of war was constructed in practice, and to what extent soldiers themselves participated in this process.

Syracuse University's COLAB will present "Wired Space," an exhibition of interactive art and design installations, on Thursday, April 16, from 5-8 p.m. in the Case Supply Building, 109 Wyoming St., Syracuse. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
"Wired Space" explores the functional, conceptual and expressive possibilities of weaving together materials, technology and interaction. The installations include an interactive wall/musical instrument, a weeping willow tree that brings outside sounds into a rehabilitated warehouse, and a wall that opens into another country.
The installations in "Wired Space" were created by students enrolled in "Interactive Lab: Responsive Environments," a COLAB-sponsored, cross-disciplinary course that explores the intersection of information, interaction and installation art. In the semester-long experience, students learned to program microcontrollers and use sensors and emitters to produce site-specific artworks using various data and information sources, video and sound. The course is taught by faculty members in the College of Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) and the School of Information Studies.
COLAB is an interdisciplinary initiative that encourages students and faculty to use their diverse skills and perspectives to solve complex, real-world problems creatively and collaboratively. Based in VPA and headquartered on the fourth floor of The Warehouse at 350 W. Fayette St., COLAB offers courses, programs and events in a nontraditional atmosphere that fosters innovation and imagination.
For more information, contact Michael McAllister, COLAB's director of design and innovation, at mlmcalli@syr.edu or visit http://colab.syr.edu.


Anyone who works with PDFs on a regular basis knows that the file format can sometimes be as frustrating as it can be convenient. PDFs are heavily used in business because they are lightweight and universal. You can fit a lot of information into considerably small file sizes when working with PDFs, and no matter what OS you are using, the PDF will look exactly the same.
These are the benefits of the file format that make it so conducive for business, but at the same time, the fact that PDFs cannot be edited really makes them bothersome at times. This is especially evident when you receive a PDF that contains information which you have to further edit and analyze.
In such instances, the smartest thing you can do is convert the PDF into a more editable file format. While there are great paid tools that can do this for you, some people don't really need such services often enough to justify the price tag of such a tool.
For these types of people there are thankfully online tools that can be used for free to convert PDFs. PDFConverter.com is a service that offers such tools. While the website does boast excellent paid PDF conversion software of its own, it also offers four free tools that can be used without having to pay anything.
Namely, PDFConverter.com offers free tools for converting PDFs into Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint formats. These three Microsoft file formats are among the most used editable file formats in the business world, so it makes sense that they would be offered. On top of these three tools, the site also offers a free PDF creation service, which enables you to create a PDF out of just about any file format you can think of wanting to convert.
1) Head over to this webpage for free PDF conversion online and select the conversion option that you need. Click on "Choose File" to select the file you want converted.
2) In the second step, enter your email address. This is the address to which a download link for obtaining your converted file will be sent once the conversion process has been completed.
3) Finally, click "Start!" to begin the conversion process.
Now all you have to do is wait a few minutes for the conversion to be completed. Once it is done, you will receive an email with the download link, which you can use to download your newly created Word, Excel, PowerPoint or PDF file.
These tools are perfect for people who don't need such a service often enough to spend money on PDF conversion software, but do need such a service every once in a while. It gives you not only free and easy, but also accurate conversions that stand toe to toe in quality with most similar paid online conversion services.

Trump demands housecleaning on White House communications team
President Donald Trump's communications team is facing a shakeup, but press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders (right) and senior officials are expected to remain. | Mark Wilson/Getty Images
By Eliana Johnson, Andrew Restuccia and Nancy Cook
President Donald Trump has demanded changes to his communications team — long seen as one of the most internally divided offices in his White House — in an effort to crack down on the leaks that have plagued his presidency since Day One.
White House chief of staff John Kelly signed off on a plan that would flush out some of the department's midlevel and junior aides, according to three people familiar with the situation. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and other key senior officials are expected to remain, these people said. But a White House official told POLITICO Wednesday morning that the plan has not yet been formally approved and remains in flux.
Though changes to the structure of the White House communications office had been under consideration for months, sparked by concerns about a lack of organization in the office, the recent leak of a junior staffer's callous remarks about Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain's health served as a breaking point that moved the president to action.
Trump spoke to the staffer, communications aide Kelly Sadler, during a meeting earlier this month in which he asked Sadler and others present to identify leakers in the communications shop, according to two of the people familiar with the internal discussions. He also expressed deep frustration with the leaks coming out of the White House, telling aides he believes many of the stories that cite leaked information are inaccurate and damage his presidency.
At a separate meeting of White House communications aides in mid-May, Sadler said that McCain's opposition to Gina Haspel's nomination to be CIA director didn't matter because "he's dying anyway." The remark, which was first reported by The Hill newspaper, fueled days of negative coverage after the White House refused to apologize.
Kelly, whose relationship with Trump has been distant over the past few months, is a close ally of the president in the matter. In an orientation session for some of the administration's recent hires on Tuesday morning, he sought to explain Sadler's remark, telling the group that it was merely a factual statement — not a morbid joke.
He went on to criticize the news media, according to an administration official briefed on his comments, complaining that its coverage of Trump is too often based on anonymous sourcing, unfair to the president and completely inaccurate. At the same time, Kelly, a retired Marine general, made clear he has the utmost respect for McCain and considers him an American hero, the administration official said.
It remains unclear when the shakeup will take place, and plans remain fluid, though some expect it in the coming weeks.
The White House declined to comment for this story.
While some communications staffers could be fired, others are expected to be reassigned to other departments. In addition to getting rid of leakers, the goal of the shakeup is to create a leaner operation with clearer lines of command, according to the people familiar with the plans.
The White House communications team currently has about two dozen staffers, with the press shop consisting of another dozen people.
The White House last week took a first step toward limiting leaks, reducing the size of daily communications meetings to a core group of presidential advisers, a changefirst reported by The New York Times.
