6 Feet Office
Certain phrases surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic have sparked global conversations, the most notable being social distancing – the entire world now understands the importance of staying six feet away. Across the globe, we're in different stages of experiencing the pandemic. But, as we begin visualizing life after COVID-19, we must begin to think about what a six feet society will look like and how we will adjust.
"The 6 feet rule" isn't going away any time soon and we at Cushman & Wakefield understand how critical it is to normalize this guideline into everyday life. Eventually, we will all return to work, but we must not forget this golden rule.

It has already been an exciting journey working with one of the UK's most exclusive perfume companies, Boadicea The Victorious, and we were privileged to be involved in their latest launch at Harrods.
The Boadicea range of perfumes are highly sought after and sell all around the world. We were first approached when the company wanted to use video to promote their range of perfumes. From designing a style for the videos to advising on the best possible way to use them online we were able to offer a full package for them.
The intricate and beautiful bottles were shot in a studio against a black backdrop on a turntable. This created controlled, smooth motion which, combined with some intricate macro filming, created a polished feel to the videos.
When we discussed the launch of the latest perfume Legend we wanted to emphasise the exclusivity of the range and the hand crafted work that goes into producing each element from the bottles and their unique pewter badges to the design of the fragrances.
The film highlights in particular the fantastic work of the perfumer in the Cotswolds and the team at A E Williams who are responsible for creating the pewter elements.They are one of the worlds' oldest companies and proud to show off their skills.
The final element of the Boadicea process was to show off the sales counter within Harrods. Inside the perfume hall at Harrods was a perfect location to showcase the finished Boadicea product to its full potential.
Items like perfume are a luxury and often a brand is selling a feeling or lifestyle as much as they are selling a scent. The team at Boadicea wanted a big statement to begin the launch and so we produced a mood video for the brand. This short one minute video was designed to evoke an emotion and set the scene for the perfumes. We brainstormed a storyboard of images that we felt reflected the brand. Working with the team at Boadicea we finalised our choices and set out into some great forest locations armed with spears, cloaks and a smoke machine! The music was one of the most important elements here and of course we played it very loud for the audience.
Boadicea now have many different edits which they can use in many different ways for both live audiences, intimate one-to-one discussions and as an online showcase.
We used a lot of motion within the shots, keeping the camera moving. We also shot on very high frame rates so that we could slow the footage down in the edit.
Stylised camera movements were used but also work was done to reflect the lighter, brighter atmosphere of the different locations.
During the Harrods shoot we brought in our mini jib to create sweeping shots which celebrate the look of the environment.
If you would like to chat with us about any ideas you have for your product or service we will be more than happy to explore with you the power of video.


Folks go for a vacation with their family for leisure and pleasure. Obviously, there is a massive difference in the amount of clothing, food, sneakers, toiletries, food and supplies required for two folks using an RV for weekend getaways and a family of four with two canines who wish to travel across country for an extended vacation.\n\nMotels providing on-web site FFacilities, extra special services, Bballroom and conference rooms, information port elevators, handicap services, ice and vending machines, meeting rooms, non-smoking rooms, restaurants, wheelchair services and easily accessible elevators are most well-liked. \n\nThey try to make the positioning as informative and person friendly as attainable. These sites provide low-cost airfare to all the international tourist destinations. If you want to use these companies then you must either register with the concerned web site or you may additionally guide low-cost international tickets as a guest person.\n\nIt is onerous on the eyes when used as a background on web pages. One good approach to start trying to find low airfares online could be to visit fare finder web pages corresponding to Kayak, Orbitz, Travelocity and Expedia. These websites will look by way of their database and find discount airfares and cut price tickets – all you must do is enter the destination and date of departure.\n\nMoreover, you should have a confidant to whom you possibly can share the places you could have been to, the food you could have eaten, and every bit of fine memory you could have amassed during your travel. There are numerous online bulletin boards, where you possibly can see adverts of people who are on the lookout for a travel associate.

Home Government Interview – Syria ceasefire has sharply reduced deaths
Interview – Syria ceasefire has sharply reduced deaths
Jim W. Dean, Managing Editor
de Mistura stands up for Assad and the Syrian people
De Mistura: Syria ceasefire has sharply reduced deaths
by Jim W. Dean, VT Editor, … with Press TV, Tehran
The UN's de Mistura has had a really tough job with controlling the terrorist supporters
The UN seems to have thrown the glove down to the ceasefire wreckers with de Mistura's statement that the political future of Syria will be decided by Syrians, including what happens to Assad. That put the choke not only on Saudi Arabia, but also the US and France, who keep slipping in the "Assad must go" mantra.
The West intones "Assad must go" despite the fact that to get a political settlement with any chance of lasting would have to include a domestic Syrian settlement. I think de Mistura is saying he is not going to be anyone's chump in the process.
He carefully picked his timing to do this. The ceasefire is holding reasonably well, with almost 2000 rebels taking their amnesty deal, 1200 in the hard fought Daara area south of Damascus. They know they cannot win now, and nobody wants to be the last man killed in a war.
What I think we are seeing is the hard core jihadis who have major country supporters and the mercenaries will be the last ones standing… for a while anyway. In Saudi Arabia's case, Syria is by no means a Yemen situation, even without Russia being there.
What the rest of us are rooting for is that the forces for stabilization will close ranks to confront the chaos exploiters. That will make it more difficult for those who have been playing both sides, like the US. Every aid truck that gets through, or water and electric system that cranks up will strengthen the domestic Syrian situation.
What you see Turkey doing, which no one is really reporting, is trying to keep enough instability going to prevent the refugees there from going back, as that is a double loss for Erdogan. He loses his refugee deluge threat against the EU; and he knows one of the reasons Assad is pushing for April elections is to draw people back, and why France is objecting.
If the Parliamentary elections support Assad's party by a large majority, that will be curtains for the 5% hard-core opposition crowd making a case that they get an equal say in Syria's future. They will be exposed as not having the support, as they never have. And with the UN running the election, they will not have their long over-used "Assad rigged the election" crying towel to hide behind.
The United Nations' special envoy to Syria has rejected foreign interference in the fate of the Syrian president.
Staffan de Mistura said the fate of Bashar al-Assad should be determined by the Syrian nation and without foreign interference. He added that the solution to the conflict in Syria should be Syrian-led and Syrian-owned. The UN envoy also voiced optimism about the recent ceasefire in Arab country, saying it has led to a sharp reduction in the number of deaths, despite continued breaches, which he described as minor.
He added that prior to the truce, up to 120 people were being killed each day. He also said that over the past ten days, more than 240 humanitarian trucks have been able to reach seven besieged areas across Syria, while noting that more needs to be done to reach other areas under siege.

Архитектура Азербејџана (азербејџански Azərbaycan memarlığı) представља архитектуру а односи се и на развој архитектуре у Азербејџану.

Архитектура у Азербејџану обично комбинује елементе истока и запада. У модерном Азербејџану постоје многа древна архитектонска блага, попут Девојачке куле и Палате Ширваншаха у озиданом граду Бакуу. Између осталог средњовековног архитектонског блага који одражава утицај више школа су палата ширванских шахова у Бакуу, палата Шакијских Канова у граду Шаки на северу централног Азербејџана, храм Суракани на Апшеронском полуострву, бројни мостови који се протежу дуж Река Арас и неколико маузолеја. У деветнаестом и почетком двадесетог века створена је мала монументална архитектура. Међу најновијим архитектонским споменицима, подземна железница у Бакуу истиче се својим раскошним декором. Урбанистичке и архитектонске активности регулише Државни комитет за изградњу града и архитектуру Азербејџанске Републике.

Ширваншах палата

Ширваншахови су владали државом Ширван на северу Азербејџана од 6. до 16. века. Њихова пажња преусмерена је на Баку у 12. веку, када је Ширваншах Манучер III наредио да се град опколи зидинама. 1191. године, након што је разорни земљотрес уништио главни град Шамаки, резиденција Ширваншахова је пресељена у Баку, и постављен је темељ комплекса Ширваншах. Овај комплекс, саграђен на највишој тачки Ичари Шахара, и даље је један од најупечатљивијих споменика средњовековне архитектуре у Азербејџану.

Различити делови комплекса Ширваншах нису  настали у исто време и није постојао генерални план изградње целог комплекса. Уместо тога, свака зграда је дограђивана, по потреби.

Велики део грађевине изграђен је у 15. веку, за време владавине Калилулаха I и његовог сина Фарука Јасара, 1435-1442.

Зграде које припадају комплексу укључују станове, џамију, Диванкану осмоугаоног облика (Краљевска скупштина), гробницу за чланове краљевске породице, маузолеј Сејида Јахја Бакувија (тадашњег чувеног астронома) и купатило.

Све ове зграде осим дневног боравка и купатила су прилично добро очуване. Има 27 соба на првом спрату и 25 на другом.

Стварна оригинална функција комплекса Ширваншах још увек се истражује. Иако се обично описује као палата, неки стручњаци то доводе у питање. Комплекс једноставно нема краљевску величину и огромне просторе који су обично повезани са палатом; на пример, не постоје велики улази за пријем гостију или огромне краљевске спаваће собе. Већина соба се чини погоднијима за мале уреде или стамбени простор монаха.

Диванкана

Ова јединствена грађевина, смештена на горњем нивоу терена, има облик осмостраног павиљона. Филигрански портал на улазу детаљно је обрађен у кречњаку.

Централни натпис са датумом изградње скупштине и именом архитекте можда су уклоњени након што је Шах Исмаил Катаи освојио Баку 1501.

Међутим, постоје два врло занимљива шестоугаона медаљона са обе стране улаза. Сваки се састоји од шест ромбова с врло необичним узорцима исклесаним у камену. Сваки сложен цртеж укључује основне принципе шиитске вере: "Не постоји други Бог осим Бога. Мухамед је његов пророк. Алија је глава верника." У неколико ромбова реч "Алах" (Бог) је урезана обрнуто, тако да се може читати у огледалу. Чини се да су резбарије читљиве у огледалу биле прилично уобичајене у оријенталном свету у то време.

Учењаци сматрају да је Диванкана била маузолеј намењен за Калилулаха I или га је можда он користио. Његова ротунда подсећа на оне пронађене у маузолејима Бајандур и Мама-Катун у Турској. Такође, мала соба која претходи главној осмоугаоној дворани уобичајена је карактеристика у маузолејима Ширвана.

Гроб Ширваншаха

Ова зграда налази се на доњем нивоу терена и позната је као Турбе (гробница). Натпис на своду датира из 1435-1436 и каже да га је Калилулах саградио за своју мајку Бика каним и свог сина Фарука Јамина. Мајка му је умрла 1435, а син 1442, са седам година. Касније је откривено још десет гробница; они су можда припадали другим члановима Шахове породице, укључујући још два сина која су умрла током његовог живота.

Улаз у гробницу украшен је резбаријама у кречњаку. Једна од најзанимљивијих карактеристика овог портала су два медаљона у облику капљице.

Турбе је једно од ретких делова комплекса Ширваншах где се зна име архитекте који је градио конструкцију. На порталу гробног свода име "Ме'мар (архитекта) Али" је урезано у дизајн, али обрнуто, као да се огледа у огледалу. Неки учењаци сматрају да би архитекта, ако би Шах открио да је уписао своје име на виши положај од шаховог, био строго кажњен. Ефекат огледала је уведен тако да је могао оставити своје име за потомство.

Остаци историје
Други важан део комплекса је џамија. Према компликованим натписима на њеном минарету, Калилулах I је наредио његову изградњу 1441. године. Висина овог минарета је 22 метра. Кључна џамија Кеј Губад, која се налази на само неколико метара изван комплекса, саграђена је у 13. веку. Уништена је 1918. године у пожару; остале су само базе њених зидова и стубова. У близини је Маузолеј из 15. века, за кога се говори да је место где је сахрањен дворски астроном Сејид Јахја Бакуви.

Муратова капија је каснији додатак комплексу. Натпис на капији говори о томе да га је 1586. године саградио држављанин Бакуа по имену Баба Рајаб током владавине турског султана Мурата III. Изгледа да је служио као капија неке зграде, али није познато каква је зграда била и да ли је икада постојала.

У 19. веку, комплекс је коришћен као складиште оружја. Око његовог обода додани су зидови, уски прорези исклесани су у камену, како би се са њих могло пуцати.

У дворишту се може видети изрезбарено камење из фризова донетих са уништене тврђаве Сабајил која лежи потопљена под водом крај обале Бакуа. На камењу су уклесани текстови који бележе родослов Ширваншаха.

Комплекс је 1920. године означен као историјско место, а реконструкција траје од тада. Према речима Севде Дадашове, директорке, обнова тренутно напредује, мада много спорије него што би било пожељно због недостатка финансијских средстава.

Дворци и тврђаве

Облакодери и високе зграде
Крајем деведесетих година прошлог века високе зграде су се појавиле у Бакуу, главном граду Азербејџана. Најистакнутије грађевине су "Пламене куле", "Порт Баку куле", "Трамп Интернационал Хотел & Кула Баку", "Азуре". "Кула СОКАР" и "Пројекат развоја полумесеца" су у изради и планирано је да буду највиши по завршетку.

Архитектура Азербејџана у 20. веку
Почетна фаза архитектонског развоја у Азербејџану током совјетске ере повезана је са оснивањем радничких насеља око Бакуа, као што су Бинагади, Расулзаде, Бакиканов, Монтин, Мамадјаров.

Генерални изглед Великог Бакуа, једног од првих великих планова у бившем Совјетском Савезу, такође је укључивао изградњу нових региона. Поред мера за решавање стамбеног проблема, у Апшеронском рејону је побољшана и транспортна комуникација.

Први дипломски програм Грађевинског факултета Политехничког института у Азербејџану био је 1929. године. Млади архитекти С. Дадашов и М.Усејнов пројектовали су фабрику Бајил (данашње породилиште), нову зграду Азербејџанског индустријског института (садашња Државна академија за нафту и индустрију Азербејџана) (1932), Кућу радника ликовних уметности, неколико стамбених зграда Педагошке техничке школе у Газаку (све 1933) и остварили њихову изградњу.

Од 1930-их почиње нова фаза у азербејџанској архитектури. Изградња Седишта владе у Бакуу започела је 1934. године, али је почетком Другог светског рата прекинута градња. Након Другог светског рата 1945. године, започела је изградња недовршене зграде. Коначно, изградња ове зграде завршена је 1952. године.

Позориште Низами и бивша зграда Министарства прехрамбене индустрије Републике Азербејџан (обе током 1937-1939), које су саграђене на основу пројеката С.Дадашова и М.Усејнова, разликују се од осталих зграда због своје просторне структуре и архитектонских решења.

Крајем тридесетих година прошлог века у земљи су изграђене многе школске зграде, и започета реализација генералних планова градова Јевлах, Канкенди и Шаки.

Азербејџанска национална библитека названа по М.Ф.Аксундову саграђена је 1961. године у синтези модерног и класичног стила, по пројекту Михаила Хусејнова, позната је као највећа зграда библиотеке на Кавказу.

Маузолеји Јусиф ибн Кусејра и Момине Катун, које је створио Адјами Накчивани, а чија је прослава 850 година одржана 1976, спасени су од уништења и реконструисани.

Председничка палата изграђена је на основу пројеката: Фуад Орујов (руководилац пројекта), Тахир Алахвердијев (архитекта) и Мадат Калафов (пројектант) током 1977-1986. године. Председничка палата је дванаестоспратна зграда са покривеним материјалима: мермером и гранитом.

Различите одлуке су донете и разни догађаји су се десили, а који се односе на проблеме заштите историјски градова Азербејџана и свих система изградње градова. Шаки (1968), Ичаришахар у Баку, Шуша и Ордубад (1977), Лахиј насеље (1980), село Нардаран (1992), град Шабран, Давачи регион (2002), село Илису, Как регион (2002), Арпачај обала, Регион Ордубад (2002), торањ Чирагала, регион Давачи (2002), село Киш, регион Шаки (2003), Пир Хусеин канагах (пребивалиште), регион Хадјигабул (2004) проглашени су историјским резерватима архитектуре Азербејџана.

Архитектура Азербејџана у 21. веку

Пламене куле
Азербејџан је дуго називан Земља ватре. Из тог разлога се фигуре пламена често користе у овој земљи. Архитектура Пламених кула је најистакнутији представник фигура пламена у Азербејџану. Структура у облику пламена опремљена је ЛЕД екранима. То је највиша грађевина у земљи са висином од 182 м. Укупна површина зграде је 235.000 квадратних метара. Пламене куле се састоји од три зграде, укључујући хотел, апартмане и канцеларије. Изградња зграде је започела 2007. године, а завршена је 2012. године. У 2013. години  је добио MIPIM награду као "најбољи хотелски и туристички центар".

Центар за културу Хајдар Алијев
Главни чланак: Центар Хајдара Алијева
Један од најважнијих и највидљивијих примера нове архитектуре у Азербејџану је Центар Хајдар Алијев. Културни центар Хајдара Алијева обухвата историју успона Каспијског мора у азербејџанској митологији. Ирачко-британски архитекта Заха Хадид именованa је за архитектонског дизајнера центра Хајдар Алијев 2007. године. Центар се сматра једним од симбола модерног Бакуа. Површина комплекса је 15,93 хектара. У пројекту нису коришћене равне линије а симболишу спајање прошлости са будућношћу. Циљ је био одвајање од монументалне совјетске архитектуре која је прилично уобичајена у Бакуу и изражавање сензибилитета азербејџанске културе и оптимизма нације која гледа у будућност.

Баку кристална дворана

Кристална дворана Баку је спортско-забавни комплекс, који је саграђен за одржавање Евровизије 2012. у Бакуу. 2. августа 2011. објављено је да је потписан главни уговор са немачком грађевинском фирмом под називом "Alpine Bau Deutchland AG'" и да су започеле потребне припреме. Изградња арене завршена је 16. априла 2012. године. Капацитет ове дворане је 25.000 гледалаца и ВИП соба у арени. Величанствени систем осветљења који се користи у кристалној дворани у Бакуу састоји се од преко 2.500 рефлектора и више од 3.000 метара каблова који су донети из Немачке. Светлеће диоде са површином већом од 1.300 м постављене су у облику електронских прозора на сцени кристалне дворане у Бакуу.

Олимпијски стадион у Бакуу

Изградња стадиона почела је 6. јуна 2011, а учествовали су председник Илхам Алијев, бивши председници ФИФЕ и УЕФА - Сеп Блатер и Мишел Платини. Церемонија отварања олимпијског стадиона у Бакуу одржана је 6. марта 2015, а стадион је предвиђен за одржавање великих спортских догађаја у Азербејџану. Овај мултифункционални стадион највећи је стадион у Азербејџану, укупног капацитета 68.700 места за гледаоце. Олимпијски стадион у Бакуу је изабран као 7. најбољи стадион на свету од стране StadiumDB-а. Изградња стадиона додељена је турској компанији ТЕКФЕН. На подручју око стадиона створено је неколико хотела, паркинг места (укупно 3.617) и зелени простор (81.574 квадратна метра). Олимпијски стадион у Бакуу се састоји од ВВИП, ВИП - ЦИП соба, укупно 127 са  капацитетом гледалишта - 720, 1800 места за седење са загревањем, зграда МЕП-а, инфо центар и две спољне зграде.

Professional services firm Deloitte released its annual technology trends report on Tuesday. Here are the top takeaways for TechRepublic readers.
The exponential speed at which technological innovation changes the way we work is staggering. For IT leaders and decision-makers, being competitive often means staying on top of emerging trends that could impact their industry.
While each trend has the potential to change IT decision-making in the future, we picked out four of them that we think IT leaders should pay the most attention to. And since the report itself is more than 140 pages, we sum up the main points.
Despite the recent momentum around roles such as CTO, CMO, and CDO, CIO remains the pinnacle role in IT. Part of the issue in talking about the future of the CIO, however, is the difficulty in defining the role.
"Almost no CIO has the same set of responsibilities and skills," said Deloitte CTO Bill Briggs. "It's still a relatively new position."
While it is somewhat subjective, Briggs said that Deloitte looks at a CIO in four quadrants — as an operator, technologist, strategist, and catalyst.
According to the Deloitte report, the key to the development of the CIO lies in balancing the future vision of the company with the current operational needs, as well as focusing more on business strategy.
In the management of IT, it all boils down to organization and transparency. IT management should be handled "like a venture capitalist" in that CIOs should adopt a portfolio management approach to IT investments and projects. Additionally, the IT "balance sheet" should be made totally visible so the remainder of the business better understands how IT resources are allocated, and organized in a way that reflects business priorities.
According to SugarCRM CEO Larry Augustin, this change has occurred in the role of CIO due, in part, to consumerization.
"Technology used to be built for the enterprise first and trickle down to consumers," Augustin said. "Now it's the opposite. Technology is built for the consumer and works its way into the enterprise. As a result, the CIO is now the integrator of these technologies."
Taking another page from the modern startup playbook, the authors of the report also encourage CIOs to "build a culture that encourage failure." The process is not about celebrating failure, but embracing the concept of learning through iterations and scaling quickly.
Additionally, CIOs should look for opportunities to engage with peers and collaborate with nontraditional partners to solve problems and set a path for the future.
Application programming interfaces (APIs), which were once just a tool for developers, have now become the foundation for many business models. APIs are the background to everything from the Internet of Things to ride-sharing services like Lyft and Uber, which use the Google Maps API to power their backend services.
APIs have been around for a long time, but the report attributes the recent rise in API popularity to one particular change: "The conversation has expanded from a technical need to a business priority."
When you are trying to decide what APIs are worth investing in, Briggs asks the question: "What do we have that might be valuable if we could expose it, and if we could create a marketplace for it?"
As the API revolution continues to take shape, proper explanation of the value and benefits will be key to pushing through resistance. The report recommends treating APIs like products and developing a specific business case for an API you are looking to work with.
As you introduce APIs, be sure to pay distinct attention to scope. Poorly written code and previously dormant security risks could bubble up to the surface through an API, and you have to be prepared to handle those challenges as they arise. Also, APIs present potential legal issues that need to be considered as well.
Also, be aware that APIs will change the way you get insights from your own data.
"The downside to this is that it's tougher to correlate data across data sets because the ways in which you can analyze the data are limited by the APIs," Augustin said. "So while APIs make it easier for those that control data to monetize it, they also make it more difficult to unlock unique insights because to the limited API access."
The Internet of Things (IoT) always promised major implications for the business world, but only recently has it started to deliver on that promise. In the section titled "Ambient computing: Putting the Internet of Things to work," the report looks at how companies can better prepare for the enterprise IoT invasion.
Both the "things" and the data that can be captured are evolving, which means that it is important to develop a strategy around how you will implement IoT, and that strategy should be focused.
"The goal should not be the Internet of Everything; it should be the network of some things, deliberately chosen and purposely deployed. Opportunities abound across industries and geographies—connected cities and communities, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, insurance, and oil and gas," the report said.
IoT and the data it collects is only truly valuable if it is acted upon. Analytics are a necessary part of the process in helping IT leaders to glean insight from their IoT deployments and take steps to act on those insights. For example, it doesn't matter if sensors are telling you how your delivery routes are wasting resources if you don't change the routes accordingly.
The idea that everything would eventually have an IP address used to be a joke, but is becoming reality, Augustin said. While some of the consumer applications are more obvious, it will look different in the enterprise.
"Some businesses will get little value from this," Augustin said. "Others, for example, a business that deals extensively with physical goods, will see massive benefit. Imagine hospitals where every time a medicine is dispensed dosages can be automatically verified. Or, retail stores where an inventory takes seconds."
This ambient computing can also be used to predict patterns and behaviors, which can then be improved upon. In addition to collecting and analyzing the data, the Deloitte report pays special attention to the concept of data storage as organizations will typically be dealing with a flood of data when implementing an IoT strategy.
Virtualization, much like APIs, is not a novel concept but it is on its way to being more fully realized as a greater part of all technology ecosystems. The move toward software-defined everything starts with software-defined networking (SDN).
Network design can no longer assume predictable patterns, as it now requires real-time integration of multiple technologies and data sources from all over the world. In a word, today's network is complex and it will only increase in complexity moving forward. And, what SDN does for networking is now available for many other aspects of IT.
"We now have the ability to, basically, go up and across the stack," Briggs said. "So, everything in our operating environment, it potentially could have a layer of automated provisioning and controls on top of it."
In addition to virtual compute and networking layers, we also have software-defined storage (SDS) and software-defined data center (SDDC) creeping into focus, and Deloitte's report is keen on the rise of the SDDC especially.
As you dedicate resources to SDDC, however, be sure that you understand what is within the scope of your organization, as it is not applicable in all situations.
"Applications may have deep dependencies on legacy hardware. Likewise, platforms may have hooks into third party services that will complicate migrations, or complexities across the stack may turn remediation efforts into value eroders," the report said.
Since your infrastructure is one of the foundations of your business, as you step down a software-defined path you have to be aware of the potentially massive impact of your decisions.


InfraFile is a popular file sharing solution for healthcare and life science organizations because it combines ease of use without compromising control over sensitive data. Unlike consumer-grade file sharing services, which store sensitive data on public cloud servers, InfraFile is deployed within an organization's IT infrastructure. InfraFile integrates seamlessly with every part of the IT fabric – from user directories to security systems to monitoring and back-up services – ensuring that sensitive data remains under control at all times. Yet it also provides the ease-of-use and mobility needed to streamline healthcare and life science information processes.
Doctors, researchers and other experts need to share sensitive data internally and with external peers. Examples include patient test results, research findings and confidential clinical information. Some experts need to view data, while others need the ability to enhance raw data with new information, insights and revisions. Email is commonly used today for document sharing. It is notoriously insecure, non-compliant and prone to data leakage. Cloud-based file sharing services are convenient, but using them for sensitive data exposes organizations to privacy violations and associated consequences. InfraFile allows all sensitive data to remain securely within an organization's control, ensuring that only authorized parties can access data. Using InfraFile, healthcare and life science collaborations can be achieved in a secure, compliant, auditable manner.
Dividing time between office hours, hospital procedures, ER duties, teaching commitments and other activities, doctors are constantly on the move. They are among the most active users of mobile devices. Recognizing this trend, hospitals, group practices and clinics are moving quickly to consolidate libraries of medical information so it can be shared across their growing physician networks. Timely access to research can be the difference between life and death in critical care situations, and improves all forms of patient interaction and care. Importantly, many doctors must have the ability to annotate available research with new treatment anecdotes to provide their peers with updated field information. InfraFile powered by ownCloud is the perfect platform for building a mobile physician knowledge base. It allows medical teams to quickly amass searchable research libraries, authorize individuals and groups to access portions (or all) of that content, and control who can edit specific documents. Importantly, it also allows sensitive patient and practice data to be comingled with research without compromising data security and HIPAA compliance. All content is available on physicians' smart phones, tablets and desktop systems at the push of a button. Using our solution, doctors can improve patient care and save lives by sharing critical care content from anywhere, any time.
Healthcare stakeholders need to share sensitive data with the confidence of knowing it is only available to authorized parties. Further, organizations need to control each party's rights (view, download, update, etc.) and audit how and when data has been accessed. Traditional file sharing approaches are cumbersome at best and insecure at worst. And cloud-based file sharing services raise many questions about compliance with HIPAA and other regulations. InfraFile powered by ownCloud overcomes these limitations with a file sharing solution that runs on premise. Our solution is designed from the ground up to integrate with existing directory, security and rights management systems, ensuring that data governance policies are enforced end-to-end. In addition, the flexible logging features provide auditors with detailed visibility into all data access activities.

NAM Economic Report
Manufacturing employment increased by 30,000 in July. The labor market remains a bright spot in an economy that has seen softening in other areas. Through the first seven months of 2022, the sector has hired 271,000 employees, building on the 365,000 workers added in calendar year 2021, the most since 1994. Currently, the manufacturing sector has 12,826,000 employees.
The average hourly earnings of production and nonsupervisory workers in manufacturing rose 0.3% to $25.09 in July, up 5.0% from one year ago.
The U.S. economy added 528,000 nonfarm payroll employees in July, and the unemployment rate edged down to 3.5% in July, the lowest since February 2020. The labor force participation rate ticked down from 62.2% to 62.1% and remained well below pre-pandemic levels.
There were 790,000 manufacturing job openings in June, pulling back for the second straight month from April's record 1,017,000 postings in the sector but remaining highly elevated. Over the past 12 months, job openings in the sector have averaged nearly 865,000.
There were 10,698,000 job openings nationally in June, with 5,912,000 unemployed Americans. That translated into 55.3 unemployed workers for every 100 job openings in the U.S. economy, speaking to the extreme tightness of the labor market, even with some recent cooling.
New orders for manufactured goods jumped 2.0% from $544.4 billion in May to a record $555.2 billion in June. Excluding transportation equipment, manufacturing orders increased 1.4% from $456.1 billion to $462.4 billion, an all-time high, with durable goods orders excluding transportation up 0.4% for the month.
New orders for core capital goods (or nondefense capital goods excluding aircraft)—a proxy for capital spending in the U.S. economy—rose 0.7% from $73.5 billion in May to a record $74.0 billion in June. Core capital goods orders increased a solid 8.6% over the past 12 months.
Overall, the factory orders data speak to continued resilience in the sector despite worries about the economic outlook and lingering supply chain, workforce and inflationary concerns.
Yet manufacturing activity expanded very modestly in July, but with the ISM® Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index® slipping to 52.8 in July, the lowest reading since June 2020, and new orders contracted for the second straight month. Prices decelerated sharply in July, with that reading plummeting to its lowest level since September 2020. Even with slower growth, costs continue to rise solidly.
The U.S. trade deficit fell from $84.91 billion in May to $79.61 billion in June, the lowest reading since December and pulling back for the third straight month—from the record $107.65 billion reading seen in March. Goods exports rose to a new all-time high, and goods imports edged lower for the month. The goods trade deficit ($99.48 billion) was the lowest since November.
Private manufacturing construction spending edged down 0.1% from a record $92.43 billion at the annual rate in May to $92.31 billion in June. Even with a slight decline in the latest data, private construction activity in the sector has trended strongly higher since bottoming out at $72.46 billion in February 2021.

College scholarships should be your most preferred financial aid type. They are, after all, essentially free money that does not have to be repaid. Scholarships are even better than grants, which can only be used to support very specific projects.
Additionally, there are some colleges that also offer athletic scholarships in other sports as well.
There are a lot of fee-based organizations that assist students in finding and securing athletic scholarships and grant in aids. Be aware that while many of them offer legitimate and valuable services, there are also many unscrupulous scam companies out there.

About Rishikesh
Rishikesh is the holy and sacred city for Hindus and a famous centre of pilgrimage for Hindus as well as foreign tourists too. It is also known as the "gateway to the Himalayas" and is located around 25 kilometers away from another holy city, Haridwar. Rishikesh is the starting point for traveling to the sites that form the Char Dham pilgrimage — Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri. A tour to Rishikesh is therefore as important to the religiously inclined, for its mythological importance; so it is for the nature lovers, who would simply love to be at green, quiet the banks of Ganges flowing by at Rishikesh. Rishikesh is surrounded by three other districts namely Tehri Garhwal, Pauri Garhwal and Haridwar.
The places of interest in Rishikesh you can find while tour to Rishikesh includes the temple section of Lakshman Jhula, 'Neelkanth Mahadev Temple', situated 12 km from Rishikesh, Vasishtha Gufa', (Cave of sage Vasishtha), 21 km up from the town by the Ganges, Lakshman Jhula Rishikesh, water river rafting on the holy Ganges, Ram Jhula. The sacred river Ganges flows through Rishikesh. It is here that the river leaves the Shivalik mountains in the Himalayas and flows out into the plains of northern India. Several temples, ancient as well as new, can be found along the banks of the Ganges in Rishikesh.
Rishikesh, sometimes nicknamed "the world capital of Yoga", has numerous yoga centres that also attract tourists. It is believed that meditation in Rishikesh brings one closer to attainment of moksha, as does a dip in the holy river that flows through it. Rishikesh is world famous for Rafting and Adventure. Rafting season starts from the month of March and ends in September. Rishikesh is becoming a popular spot for white water rafting enthusiasts, both from India and abroad, as the Ganges offers medium to rough rapids rated class 3 and class 4. It is also a center for hiking and backpacking. Recently, bungee jumping has also been introduced in Rishikesh, the first and only bungee jumping camp in India.

Huawei's new FreeBuds 3i wireless earphones priced at R1999 locally
Back in May Huawei revealed its updated wireless earphones – the FreeBuds 3i. These were an upgrade to the fairly solid FreeBuds 3 of last year, and now Huawei has made them available to purchase locally.
As always the South African Huawei Store is the go-to destination for these new wireless buds, with a R1 999 price tag being slapped on them. As is the case with most of Huawei's new devices, the local Store is bundling them with accessories, which in this case is a 10 000mAh power bank.
For these new buds, a few things have changed too. The ear tips for example have been redesigned for a better in-ear fit. This should be welcome as one of the only issues we had with the previous generation is how comfortable they were to wear for long periods.
Added to this is open fit active noise cancelling technology, with Huawei says is a first for this form factor.
Being wireless offerings, battery life will prove important. On this front Huawei says the FreeBuds 3i can muster up to 3.5 hours from a single full charge. The new charging case helps to ensure that up to 14.5 hours of battery is now available, although we must admit that we were fans of the previous generation's design.
It remains to be seen how this new buds compare to the predecessor, but with Huawei very much ditching the 3.5mm headphone jack on its flagship phones, and wireless earphones all the rage at the moment, these may be worth a look.
Outside of the Huawei Store, you can also pick up the FreeBuds 3i from Vodacom, Musica, Takealot and Hi-Store, but prices and bundled accessories may vary depending on the retailer.

Made in Chelsea season 21: Return date, potential storylines and cast!
As the 20th series of Made in Chelsea comes to an end, E4 fans are eager to find out what's on the cards for the upcoming season.
This winter, we have seen Ollie and Gareth get married, Sam and Zara go through that viral break-up scene, and Liv open her heart to Tristan.
Not to mention, the multitude of relationships that have come together or completely gone the other way (how long did Verity and Charlie last?)…
So here's when we can expect a possible return date, which storylines may arise next season, and the cast that are set to make a comeback!
Ep6. Verity and Charlie. Picture: Channel 4
Made in Chelsea season 21: Return date
At the time of writing, an official return date has not been released
However, each season usually comes out every 2 to 3 months. So if Made in Chelsea is renewed, it could be hitting our screens by February or March.
The reality TV series has been airing since 2011, so there's no known reason why it would not be coming back to E4.
MADE IN CHELSEA: Are James and Maeva still together?
Potential storylines for MIC season 21
It's likely that we will get to see an update on Zara and Sam's relationship, with the pair getting back together during the last episode of season 20.
Not only their relationship will be on fan's minds, but viewers will wonder how Ollie and Gareth's pre-wedding relationship as husbands is going.
Now that the pair have told each other they want children, it could possibly be the first time that little ones appear on the show – but this might mean they step back from season 21.
Liv and Tristan's are in an exclusive relationship… Going by social media, they are now Instagram official. Will they stay together?
Another potential storyline could be that Sophie has a new love, as the series is likely to come out after filming for Celebs Go Dating!
Talking all things love – Jamie has recently announced he has plans to propose to Habbs if he wins Strictly, so we might see even more wedding bells in the next series.
Regardless of winning, perhaps he is thinking of cracking the question sometime soon? He told Hello! that he wish he could say it would be tomorrow, when asked if we should expect any wedding bells soon.
I hope Reza and Ruby can snag a storyline next series #MadeInChelsea
— James Ramsey 🇬🇧 (@tvgeezer2020) December 9, 2020
ITV: Is Gemma Collins with Laurence?
Who is returning for season 21?
While there have been no announcements of exactly which cast members are returning, there are rumours that we may be saying bye to Maeva.
One of the longest-running MIC cast members may also be off the cards for the first time ever, as Jamie Laing quit the show mid-series to join Strictly.
He told The Times:
I was on TV for ten years. I'd never say, 'Hey, that's me done,' but yes, I'm definitely taking a step back.
Also, it looks like Alex Mytton is appearing less and less as each series goes by. So, although there hasn't been any confirmation, the question is whether he will be returning for season 21…
I've heard a rumor that Maeva wont be filming next series and I'm freaking… 💔 Please say this isn't true!! #MadeInChelsea

On the night between March 1 and 2nd, 2022, Malian forces with the aid of Wagner Group killed over three dozen civilians in Danguèrè Wotoro, near Dogofry, Mali.

Prelude
On February 20, Malian forces began a spike in arrests in the Niono Cercle, with witnesses saying those arrested were returning from a fair. Other locals in the towns of Nampala, Akoumbou, Tangabe, and Dianweli stated that the Malian troops in the area had recently been committing executions, lootings, and arrests.

Massacre
Little is known about how the massacre actually played out, because the bodies of civilians were only discovered in the town the following morning. The bodies were discovered piled on top of each other, all bound and tied. All of the victims were men, many of whom had been arrested the previous week, and some were shot while others were burned. The victims were all also Fulani, a nomadic group who the Malian army often attributes to jihadist attacks.

Survivors of Malian-Wagner detainment prior to the massacre stated that they were being held in the Diabaly military camp, and were beaten severely. One survivor said he saw the soldiers remove around 30 men from one cell the night before the massacre.

Aftermath
The Malian government denied any involvement in the massacre, and claimed that mentions of it were "defaming" the government. On March 17, the government banned Radio France Internationale and France 24 for claiming the massacre was perpetrated by the Malian army and Wagner group.

Al-Qaeda-linked Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin claimed responsibility for an attack in Mondoro, stating it was in retribution for the massacre at Danguèrè Wotoro.

Human Rights Watch, MINUSMA, and the locals all accused the Malian Army and Wagner for the attack, with HRW giving a death toll of 35 and RFI claiming 35 to 37 people were killed.

New error-free DNA sequencing method could diagnose rare diseases
Emma Stoye | Chemistry World | November 13, 2017
A virtually error-free new method of DNA sequencing could one day be used to diagnose extremely rare cancers and hereditary genetic conditions. The approach – called error-correction code (ECC) sequencing – is based on an existing technology called fluorogenic sequencing that works by splitting DNA into fragments and copying these using a process similar to the polymerase chain reaction.
This method essentially produces three sets of results for each DNA fragment sequenced, which a specially designed algorithm can combine to identify and fix any errors, and deduce the unambiguous sequence. The group were able to adapt a commercially available fluorogenic sequencing machine – which is normally about 98% accurate – to incorporate their method, and found it could generate completely error-free sequences up to 200 base pairs long.
[Computational biologist Keith Robinson] points out the approach may not always give completely error-free results. There are circumstances under which the accuracy could be compromised, for example areas in certain genes which are known to contain sequences where the same two nucleotides are repeated over and over, which could make the signals harder to interpret. Whether the method will be a commercial success depends on how it compares to other, potentially faster, approaches for real-world applications.

MARK S INCH, Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Defendant.
Plaintiff Nicolas C. Hindman is an inmate confined at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) in Terre Haute, Indiana. Mr. Hindman has been housed at FPC Terre Haute since May 5, 2017. He is serving a 15-month term of imprisonment for Wire Fraud and Unlawful Financial Transactions. The BOP's website reflects that his release date is June 5, 2018.
He brings this action pursuant to the Administrative Procedures Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. §§ 702, 706. Mr. Hindman alleges that defendant Mark S. Inch, Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, in his official capacity, hereinafter "BOP", has denied Mr. Hindman placement in a halfway house, home confinement, or Residential Reentry Center (RRC), 18 U.S.C. § 3621(b), and that the BOP abused its discretion in applying 18 U.S.C. § 3624(c) (the "Second Chance Act"). The Second Chance Act enlarges the maximum time a prisoner may spend in a halfway house from six months to twelve months. It also gives the BOP authority to place a prisoner in home confinement for the shorter of 10 percent of the term of imprisonment of that prisoner or 6 months.
Mr. Hindman seeks injunctive relief, specifically placement in a halfway house for 12 months and home confinement for 6 months.
The BOP argues that it is entitled to summary judgment because Mr. Hindman failed to exhaust his administrative remedies with respect to the claim contained in the Complaint, and because 18 U.S.C. § 3625 precludes review of Bureau of Prisons' decisions regarding placement under the APA.
For the reasons explained below, the BOP's motion for summary judgment, dkt , is granted. Disputes of material fact remain on exhaustion. Even so, there is no basis for relief under the APA, so the BOP is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.
The BOP argues that it is entitled to judgment as a matter of law because Mr. Hindman did not exhaust his available administrative remedies prior to filing this action. The Prison Litigation Reform Act requires that a prisoner exhaust his available administrative remedies before bringing a suit concerning prison conditions. 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a). See Porter v. Nussle, 534 U.S. 516, 524-25 (2002). "[T]he PLRA's exhaustion requirement applies to all inmate suits about prison life, whether they involve general circumstances or particular episodes, and whether they allege excessive force or some other wrong." Id. at 532 (citation omitted). It is the defendant's burden to establish that the administrative process was available to the plaintiff. See Thomas v. Reese, 787 F.3d 845, 847 (7th Cir. 2015) ("Because exhaustion is an affirmative defense, the defendants must establish that an administrative remedy was available and that [the plaintiff] failed to pursue it.").
The BOP submitted a declaration which reflects that Mr. Hindman had not filed an administrative remedy request related to any issue raised in the Complaint and had not filed any formal administrative remedy request since he began his term of incarceration. In response, Mr. Hindman argued that Case Manager Shoemaker told him that he should not and could not file an appeal through the grievance process. Under these circumstances, there is a material fact in dispute regarding whether the grievance process was available to Mr. Hindman prior to filing this action. In Ross v. Blake, 136 S.Ct. 1850 (2016), the Supreme Court explained that an administrative procedure is unavailable when "it operates as a simple dead end, " when it "might be so opaque that it becomes, practically speaking, incapable of use" or when "prison administrators thwart inmates from taking advantage of a grievance process through machination, misrepresentation, or intimidation." Id. at 1859-60. Whether Case Manager Shoemaker thwarted Mr. Hindman's efforts to utilize the grievance process or whether that process was available to Mr. Hindman is in dispute. Resolution of this issue would necessitate a hearing and for this reason the United States' motion for summary judgment on the affirmative defense of exhaustion is denied. For the reasons that follow, even if Mr. Hindman had exhausted his administrative remedies prior to filing this civil action he would not be entitled to relief.

CODE-D
Home > Reviews > CODE-D
Directed by the esteemed Kyoichi Komoto, 'CODE-D: The House of the 8 Women' is a science fiction feature taking place in the near future when the surviving population of Japan is divided into ranks and sent out to live in what can be described as internment camps. A women-only group of such people finds themselves in trouble when a male arrives from the outside. As friendships are tested and animosity rises, intrigue and betrayal soon begins to tear the group apart.
'CODE-D: The House of the 8 Women' succeeds wholly due to both the potent writing and directing on display. Ako Suizu's writing brings the complex characters that make up the story come alive with effortless creativity. The character interactions at display are not only believable but follow an emotional trajectory from friendship and camaraderie to animosity and jealousy. Komoto understands the underlying tension between the characters well. He not only gives every woman a chance to shine and his success lies in the fact that he is so adept at challenging and disintegrating these characters after building them up perfectly at the start.
Probably the most gorgeous thing about the whole production is its cinematography. From its rain soaked teal blue scenes to the warm yellow interior, the colours in the film really make the story come alive. The lighting in every scene is perfect as well with night shots looking as crisp and lively as those shot during the day. Every scene of this film looks organic and can make any big budget film give a run for its money. The minimal score in most scenes really gives the dialogue weight, allowing the audience to invest wholly into the characters.
Ultimately a quest to determine the purpose of life, Kyoichi Komoto's 'CODE-D: The House of the 8 Women' is a potent science fiction story that is not only moving, but also unique in equal measure. The central idea has rarely been done before and Komoto directs the tale with an eye that easily makes its mark on the audience. Anchored by great performances and featuring creative set design, 'CODE-D: The House of the 8 Women' is a thoughtful and heavy science fiction tale that is a mark above the rest and will find great acclaim amongst audiences looking for something profound and meaningful.

City Council Releases Report on Business Integrity Commission
The City Council Committee on Oversight and Investigation has released a much-anticipated report on the Business Integrity Commission (BIC). Copies of the 46-page report were handed out at the Council's Committee on Sanitation and Solid Waste meeting on Thursday, June 27th, according to published reports. The BIC is charged with regulating the private waste industry.
The investigation was launched in reaction to the BIC's handling of Sanitation Salvage, a private waste company that continued to operate after a company driver struck and killed an off-the-books worker with his truck.
The BIC was formed in 1996. Its mission, according to its website, "is to eliminate organized crime and other forms of corruption and criminality from the public wholesale markets, the trade waste and shipboard gambling industries. BIC's goals are numerous: to ensure that the regulated businesses are able to compete fairly; that the marketplaces remain free from violence, fraud, rackets and threats; that the customers receive fair treatment; and that the businesses which are allowed to operate in these industries conduct their affairs with honesty and integrity."
According to published reports, the report criticized BIC's handling of labor violations, stating the BIC "only sporadically exercised its rulemaking and enforcement authority to hold commercial carters accountable for the unsafe driving practices of their employees." It asserts that the BIC's limited review of property records has allowed bad actors to continue working with the industry, and that the agency has "rarely exercised" its ability to impose civil penalties on carters.
Councilmember Ritchie Torres, chair of the Oversight Committee, said that the "central finding" of the investigation was that "there was something incomplete" about the BIC's regulation of "both organized crime and health and safety within the industry."
The reports included the following recommendations:
Passage of Intro 1575 that would require the BIC to impose specific civil financial penalties for certain offenses.
Passage of Intro 1611 that would expand BIC's regulatory authority to review applications and renewals for waste transfer stations.
"Careful review" of property records to ensure carters are not operating on land owned by individuals banned from working in the commercial waste industry.
Attorney General James Announces $5.8 Million Multistate Settlement With Lexisnexis
LexisNexis Resold State Crash Reports Without Paying NYS Agencies
Attorney General Letitia James this week announced a multistate settlement with LexisNexis Risk Solutions and several of its affiliates (LexisNexis) for defrauding state law enforcement agencies. The Attorney General asserted that LexisNexis deliberately failed to pay those agencies agreed-upon fees for the resale of car crash reports. New York's share of the settlement is approximately $1.7 million, or 30 percent of the total $5.8 million multistate settlement.
Law enforcement agencies generate reports of automobile crashes, which are purchased by individuals and by insurance companies for use in claim adjustment. Companies, like LexisNexis, enter into agreements with agencies to obtain crash reports and resell them to customers, agreeing to pay a fee to those agencies every time a report is sold.
LexisNexis defrauded law enforcement agencies in New York and other states by paying law enforcement agencies for only the first crash report sold, and not for each subsequent report resold, as their contracts required. As part of the settlement, LexisNexis will pay the fees it previously evaded and will discontinue its fraudulent resale practices.
DFS to Investigate Claims That Advertisers Use Facebook Platform to Engage in Discrimination
Governor Andrew Cuomo this week called on the Department of Financial Services (DFS) to investigate reports that state-regulated advertisers are using Facebook, Inc.'s advertising platform to discriminate against protected classes.
According to reports, Facebook's advertising platform allows advertisers to modify or block ads using ZIP code information to exclude consumers based on race, color, national origin, religion, familial status, sex and disability, among other classifications. Facebook describes its advertising platform as a means for housing and housing-related advertisers to reach desired consumers. In addition to the specific tools made available to advertisers, Facebook also allegedly uses machine learning and predictive analytics to categorize users to project each user's likely response to a given ad, which may recreate groupings defined by their protected class.
Comptroller Stringer Audit Finds NYC Parks Sidewalk Inspections and Repairs Move at "Snail's Pace"
Homeowners waited 101 days on average for an inspection; 419 days for a repair
New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer this week released an audit of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks) which found that homeowners waited on average 101 days after submitting a service request to have their tree-damaged sidewalks inspected – 71 days longer than NYC Parks' 30-day response target. Comptroller Stringer's audit also found that NYC Parks' average time from inspection to repair of tree-damaged sidewalks during Fiscal Year 2017 was 419 days, with one repair taking over a decade to complete.
The audit notes that unrepaired sidewalks could present tripping hazards and a potential liability for the City. For example, during Fiscal Year 2017, the City settled six claims totaling $1.3 million with individuals who reported being injured as a result of sidewalk defects caused by the roots of City trees.
Westchester County Enacts Safe Time Leave Law
County Executive George Latimer signed legislation requiring all Westchester private employers with five or more employees to provide up to 40 hours of paid leave for victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. The law goes into effect in October and applies to full-time and part-time employees who are employed in Westchester County for more than 90 days in a calendar year.
The Safe Time Leave Law allows eligible employees who are victims of domestic violence or human trafficking to use up to 40 hours of paid safe time in a calendar year to "attend/testify in criminal and/or civil court proceedings…or move to a safe location."
SALT Cap Repeal to Benefit Rich
Repealing the $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions would primarily benefit the rich, according to a new analysis by the Joint Committee on Taxation.
The Committee found that $77 billion that would be saved by 13 million taxpayers by repealing the cap in 2019. The savings would be distributed as follows:
$40 billion to individuals earning more than $1 million;
$14 billion to individuals earning between $500,000 and $1 million;
$18 billion to individuals earning between $200,000 and $500,000;
$ 4 billion to individuals earning between $100,000 and $200,000; and
$400,000 to individuals earning less than $100,000.

Holt accepted the award with a speech touching on why "this is an amazing and important moment for journalism" and how these "moments demand clarity and fearlessness."

Q: Rails application running through nginx forcing https despite contrary setting? I have been working towards deploying my rails application, and while there have been some kinks I've been able to work through most of them. The latest is quite perplexing, however.
My setup is as follows:
Ruby 1.9/Rails 3.2 App w/Phusion Passenger --> nginx on CentOS 6.2 --> Varnish cache server
Despite config.force_ssl being set to false AND being commented out in the production.rb file, the server is still forcibly redirecting to https (which is not yet functional in my case). The server has been restarted repeatedly via 'killall nginx' and '/opt/nginx/sbin/nginx', so the setting should be taking effect.
My first thought was that perhaps the cache server was lagging behind, but this isn't the case.
What makes this particularly odd, though, is that the application works fine if not put into production mode. If I edit nginx.conf to instead use development mode, the site works flawlessly.
What could be the culprit? I am very much new to this facet of server maintenance and IT so I have no idea.

A: Turned out that it really was varnish being over-aggressive.
