Prince Charles Criticized For Controversial Views About Alternative Medicine: 'So Wrong'
Prince Charles's medical views have been criticized by experts.
The YouTube documentary "The Madness of Prince Charles" examined the Prince of Wales' controversial ideas about medicine and alternative therapies. The heir is apparently an advocate of holistic and alternative medicine.
In 1982, Prince Charles urged medics to explore the "invisible aspect of this universe" for medication when he spoke at the British Medical Association. He also encouraged everyone to not only treat the human body, but also the human soul. Moreover, he promoted alternative diagnostic methods that bewildered the conventional physicians since such methods were never validated.
Michael Baum, Professor Emeritus of Surgery at University College London, thinks that the future king is making a mistake about his plans to advance alternative medicine.
" I just think he is so wrong about medicine," Baum said.
Prince Charles endorsed the Gerson diet, too. Proponents of the said diet believe that liquidized fruit and vegetables clean out the system and help prevent cancer. But Baum disagrees.
"Gerson therapy is far from benign," he explained. He added that it's associated with "coffee enema" and insisted that it is "toxic."
In related news, Prince Charles was reportedly not pleased with Princess Diana's popularity during their marriage. According to Sarah Bradford in her book "Diana," the Duke of Cornwall wasn't happy with his wife's growing popularity. The public was very warm to the People's Princess compared to the future king and when Prince Charles realized this, it caused tension in their marriage.
Prince Charles couldn't understand why the people loved Princess Diana so much when all she did was married him. According to Bradford, the heir had badly adjusted to the idea of sharing the limelight with the late Princess of Wales.
Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, believed that having a baby girl would have helped Princess Diana deal with the ups and downs of her royal life. According to him, the royal princess had always wanted to give Prince William a little sister. Prince Charles also wanted to have a daughter and he was even disappointed after learning that their second child was a boy.
Princess Diana's former private secretary, Patrick Jephson, also shared the same opinion. According to Jephson, Prince Charles's first wife had always wanted to have a baby girl. In fact, she shared the joy of her colleagues and friends when they welcomed their daughters. She also told Jephson several times that he's lucky to have girls.

The second major asbestos spying scandal of the 21st century was a very British affair.1 A public school educated spy from Hertfordshire was tasked by a Mayfair-based intelligence agency to target a ban asbestos activist in a leafy London suburb. A legal action for breach of confidence, misuse of private information and breach of the Data Protection Act was launched, upon discovery of the covert operation, in the London High Court;2 the claimants – Laurie Kazan-Allen (UK), Leigh Day Partner Harminder Bains (UK), Barrister Krishnendu Mukherjee (UK), Professor Rory O'Neill (UK)3 and Coordinator of the Asian Ban Asbestos Network Sugio Furuya (Japan)4 – and defendants – Robert Moore, K2 Intelligence Ltd. and K2 Executive Managing Director Matteo Bigazzi – were represented by British legal teams, as were foreign non-parties to the case.5 In this brief account of the espionage operation and the subsequent court case I make no attempt to deal with the distress of the other claimants or how they came to be involved; the experience of being falsely befriended and spied upon is a very private humiliation. However, I feel compelled to put something on record about this episode and I do so below as dispassionately as possible.
28. There was, as I explain above, a genuine and legitimate interest on the part of the Second Defendant's Client to investigate what it strongly suspected was a corrupt association between the commercial interest of tort lawyers, the abatement industries, substitute manufacturers and activists to destroy the chrysotile industry employing hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.
I am shocked to hear this and I am praying very hard for Laurie's full and quick recovery. If there is anything I can do to help in any way please just let me know – including doing a weekly shop because it might not be easy for you to find the time and I have friends in Borehamwood and also Bushey Heath who I often visit so XXXX is not out of my way. I really mean this.
Having recently gone through convalescence I am sure Laurie will be feeling exhausted and dazed and will continue for some time. Please send her my very best wishes and let her know we are thinking of her. I know the next few weeks will be exhausting for the people doing the looking after so please take care of yourself as well Dave.
Under a court order, the claimants and others in the UK were barred by Mrs. Justice Laing from sharing these names for non-litigation purposes. Following a hearing before Sir Michael Tugendhat on March 27, 2017 K2's clients' identities were made public.
"Mr Moore came greatly to admire the Claimants and respect their cause, motives and integrity.
Mr Moore came to believe by about late 2012 that chrysotile asbestos was extremely dangerous and could not be safely used.
Mr Moore found no evidence whatsoever that law firms or others were improperly funding the [ban asbestos] Campaign. Instead, he found that some such firms were providing small donations to certain charitable and/or campaigning organisations, for what appear to have been altruistic reasons.
in a case against Mayfair-based K2, its Executive Managing Director Matteo Bigazzi, and Robert Moore;"68 there was "no admission of wrongdoing or liability" by the intelligence agency.69 While the downbeat finale to a turbulent two years of legal posturing, arguments, filings, court orders, judgments, reversals, delays, discussions, emails, phone calls, hearings, postponements and adjournments came as something of an anti-climax, the realization that normal life could recommence was an enormous relief albeit something that was hard to fully comprehend.
That the ban asbestos claimants succeeded in their efforts to reclaim their personal information, evaluate the damage done at home and abroad to members of their network and hold the spy, his handler and K2 to account for the intrusion into their private lives resulting from the undercover activities conducted as part of "Project Spring" was a remarkable achievement.70 The hundreds of pages in the documents which have been made public as a result of this case constitute a treasure trove for campaigners, historians and anyone looking to understand the inner workings of a ruthless business which will use every possible means to prioritize corporate profits. Although the terms of the settlement are confidential, the damages received by the claimants will be useful in challenging the policies of the asbestos industry and supporting victims.
Unfortunately, the identity of K2's ultimate client – "the final recipient of the Claimants' confidential and private information"71 – remains hidden; Kunin and Omarov were "client contacts for K2,"72 but not apparently the original source of the funding or instructions. While they began discussions with K2 on Project Spring in May 2012, the contract between Wetherby and K2 was not signed until September 2012.73 "Accordingly, Wetherby was not K2's client during the early months of Project Spring."74 Who was?
From discussions with Moore, the contents of his emails, the public documents generated by the case and the online and newspaper articles published in the UK, the US, Canada, Brazil, Italy and Australia, it is clear that pursuant to the clients' instructions, Moore cultivated contacts amongst asbestos victims, asbestos victims' representatives, health and safety campaigners, trade unionists, documentary film-makers, journalists, technical and medical experts, politicians, civil servants, and personnel from labor federations, regional bodies, the World Health Organization, the International Labor Organization, the International Agency for Research on Cancer and the Rotterdam Convention during his trips in the UK, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Canada and the US. What K2's clients did with the information garnered by Moore during his travels remains unknown.
The espionage operation which began in London in 2012 was conducted on a global scale over a four year period; an unquantified sum – Moore himself received �466,400 (US~$600,000) in wages and expenses – was paid by asbestos industry stakeholders with connections to Kazakhstan to a multinational corporate intelligence agency which lists its core values as: "integrity, accountability, working together to make a difference, teamwork, open and honest communication and discipline."80 Readers of this article can make up their own minds as to whether or not the company lived up to these claims during its implementation of "Project Spring".
As for the "core values" of the asbestos industry, nothing has changed. For more than a century, asbestos companies have adopted various measures to create the economic, political and social conditions in which sales of their products could flourish. It should come as no surprise, therefore, that the actions of asbestos vested interests have once again been revealed to be ruthless, immoral and anti-democratic; while these industrialists appear to regard poisoning for profit as a justifiable corporate strategy, others pay a heavy price for their companies' dividends.81 This must end.

2 Key objectives for the claimants bringing the legal action were ascertaining: what information had been illicitly obtained, with whom had it been shared and if members of the global ban asbestos network had been endangered by the actions of the defendants.

In fact, it was the first defendant who had done so; following an injunction issued on 12 October, 2016 by Judge Sir David Eady, Moore had subsequently surrendered 35,000+ documents to the claimants' legal advisors, of which, 650 had, he said, been "passed to K2".

A group of industry representatives, marijuana consumers, public health experts and educators will start meeting in Boulder to provide recommendations on which parts of the city's marijuana code make sense and which parts should be revised.
The Boulder City Council officially created the marijuana advisory panel late Tuesday with the adoption of a charter that creates 11 positions, most of them occupied by people linked in some way to the pot industry, and a goal of providing recommendations on the city's regulations by June.
"We want to hear from people in the industry about what we can do to make these regulations work better, but I think we've also sent a strong message that preventing underage use is our priority," Mayor Suzanne Jones said.
The City Council decided to form the panel late last year after representatives of the industry repeatedly brought up aspects of Boulder's code that they said were unwieldy or contradicted state requirements. Council members wanted to take a more comprehensive look at the city's regulations rather than consider changes on an ad hoc basis as complaints arose.
The meetings of the panel will be open to the public and include opportunities for the public to speak.
Robert Hoban, an attorney who represents marijuana businesses.
Lewis Koski, deputy senior director of enforcement for the state Department of Revenue, will serve as an ex oficio member.
The makeup of this initial seating of the board was described by Councilman Matt Appelbaum as "lop-sided" in favor of the industry. "I think the outcome is pretty predictable," he said.
Brautigam said she followed council's guidance on the types of positions that should be represented on the committee.
Chris Woods, owner of Terrapin Care Station, said he's glad the state is participating in the meetings and that there will be opportunities to provide input.
"That's been the issue that's been persistent, that Boulder's regulations and the state's regulations are not consistent," he said. "It can be very confusing. Around issues like packaging, transportation, advertising, chain of supply, the rules are constantly evolving. The industry is maturing, and it's unfair to ask the City Council to constantly update its ordinance."
Many members of the industry have advocated the city replace most of its code with the state code.
Woods said he hopes the city treats marijuana businesses more like other businesses going forward.
"We hope the advisory board allows marijuana businesses to be equal partners in the community," he said.
The group is advisory, and any ordinance changes would require the approval of City Council. The times and dates on which the panel will meet have not been determined.


All of a sudden, the whole world cares about US affairs. Today, everyone fears for the "American Dream," and US internal affairs concern us all, as though we were presumptive citizens in this empire that is fighting for its last few breaths. The world responds to every decision taken by the new administration, from one corner of the globe to the other, as though it were a local development. Over the past decades, the Global South's relationship with the US was governed by a sort of bipolarity. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the US assumed the role of world police. It set up its bases in every continent. It sent its soldiers on countless wars. It interfered in most countries' internal affairs. It contributed to toppling regimes and erecting others. It was this that caused the US to be despised among the citizens of the Global South. Meanwhile, the question "Why do they hate us?" became the center of political, academic, and ideological discussions in the US after the September 11 attacks by a group of Al-Qaeda militants. Over the past few years, however, this role was significantly minimized. After its post-1990 frenzy of success, the US that became involved in myriad struggles in the period between 1990 and 2003 is not the same US that existed in 2016. Having previously sent hundreds of thousands of its troops to battle in the caves of Tora Bora and the streets of Baghdad, over the past few years, it has customarily sent no more than 1,000 soldiers into any battle, dividing them between Iraq and Syria to fight the Islamic State organization. In Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen, land invasions have been replaced by airstrikes and drones, and in turn, the superpower's role in the struggles of the Global South has become secondary. Yet, Russia's flagrant intervention in the Middle East has made it a key player in the conflict—the most decisive indicator of the US abandonment of its role as world police and its newfound policy of semi-isolationism. On the other hand, citizens of the Global South began to view the US as the land of dreams, where they can fulfil the ambitions that are impossible in their home countries due to the waves of crisis and conflict. And so the "American Dream" became the universal dream. In 2015, during his speech announcing his candidacy for the presidency, Donald Trump pronounced the American Dream to be dead. The term "American Dream" was first coined in 1931 by American historian James Truslow Adams in the his book The Epic of America. Ironically, this dream was born out of the Great Depression, which struck the whole world and led to widespread financial collapse, lasting until the early 1940s. The period bears great similarities to our own epoch, with the notable exception that now the American Dream is dead and gone, and not even the new president can resuscitate it. The American Dream was born at a point when suicide rates were at their highest in the country, registering an average of 22.1 in every 100,000 people. Meanwhile, according to a study of suicide rates published in 2016, the US was found to have registered the highest suicide rate in three decades in 2014, with 13 suicides for every 100,000 people. As for poverty rates, approximately 13.5% of US citizens suffer from poverty according to statistics from 2015, amount to 43 million people. Alongside this, homelessness has spread throughout US cities and suburbs, with statistics from 2016 placing the number of homeless people at half a million. In the meantime, racial tensions have been rising, with frictions between white and black Americans peaking at their highest since 1964. Today, polarization within the US is at the forefront of politics, and militant groups that have been defunct for decades have reemerged, most prominently the Black Panther movement, the African-American paramilitary group claiming to be fighting back against police brutality. In contrast, there are the classic white militias scattered across the different states. Moreover, it has become commonplace to hear news of police shootings targeting African-Americans, and in some cases, the opposite. These are the numbers, and if they point to anything, it is the fact that the American Dream is indeed dead. *** The American Dream has become synonymous with the American way of life founded on civil liberties, leisure and consumption, getting a job and a family in a home with a white picket fence—the dream that remains ever out of reach for the citizens of the Global South. The Hollywood industry and Disney have cemented that dream in the minds of millions through thousands of films and animations, so that the idea of the American Dream became ingrained in the minds of these citizens of the Global South. And so it was, for a time, their dream as well. This dream belongs to an epoch that is nearing its last days. The US is abandoning its role as the world police, internally withdrawing to attempt to address its never-ending crises, with no longer a dream to offer even its own citizens. As for the world's response to the ascension of the populist Trump to the presidency, and his plans to build a wall on the border with Mexico, as well as his refugee ban; this response stems from the antique view of good old Uncle Sam, and of America as a place where "dreams come true"—a kind of escapism from the reality that these countries have experienced for a long time. Thus, the citizens of the Global South are behaving as though the US has abandoned them and their dreams of self-improvement. But the world needs to reconcile itself to the fact that the US is no longer what it once was; like any other country in the Global South, there is no longer a dream to fulfill there. The same can be said of the entirety of that old continent that was once made out to be the "Land of Opportunity". The distinction between Global North and Global South is now defunct—today, the whole world is the Global South.


Can I just start by saying that becoming a doula has been so fulfilling! And I haven't even worked with my first doula family yet! It sounds silly, I know. But the doula and birth workers community has been an amazing presence and such an asset to me and my business.
Three years ago, after having my son and reevaluating my future, I began my research to become a doula. I was a Career Nanny, but I was also a new mother and wife. My husband and I ultimately decided that I would be a SAHM for a while until we came up with a long term plan for child care. I was learning two new roles simultaneously and frankly, glad that I didn't have to take on the added responsibility of a job as well. And it was… well, hard. I had no idea how difficult it would be to care for a newborn, a household and a husband who was also a new dad. And with both of our families being in Georgia, we had no help after the first month. Having a background in education and working with children and families for many years should have made our transition to parenthood easy, right? No. Both my husband and I struggled to keep the balance. But we learned more and more each day about our son and each other as parents.
When my son turned a year old, I got serious about my decision to become a doula. By this time, I had returned to work as a nanny and I was so grateful for the families that allowed me to bring my son with me to work. Not all families are open to this type of child care and it took me a few months to find the right situation. At first, I was a bit underwhelmed because doulas have only recently become a serious mainstream topic and career choice. Most people that I talk to still do not know what a doula is or how significant their role can be to a new mother. But as I got deeper into my research and learned more about my local doula community, I became overwhelmed! North Carolina is a hub for many things such as higher education and apparently birth work.
Even though I wasn't 100% sure how I was going to do it, I started making a plan. I was going to need to transition from a Career Nanny to a Doula, so I decided to become a Postpartum Doula first. Because of my education, child care center background and nanny experience, I found that I was actually already doing the work of a Postpartum Doula. My husband has always said that I need to treat myself as business. But frankly, that was and is a bit difficult for me. Yes, I offer a service(s), but I offer more than that. I offer families peace of mind, comfort, support, reassurance, education as well as advice and it is hard not to give your whole heart in this business. I have been burned and hurt by more than a few of my nanny families, but that has not stopped me from answering what I believe is my calling. So after 8 years of being a nanny to nearly a dozen families, I made the decision to go for it!
Leaving my last nanny family was so difficult for several reasons including a pretty bad car accident. I now know, if it wasn't then, I may still be a nanny and I may not have taken the next steps towards becoming a doula.
I took my Postpartum Doula training earlier this year and I have been building my business almost every day since then. The first thing I did was purchase and set up my website. That was definitely a priority to me. Other priorities included designing and ordering business cards, finding a mentor and clearly defining what set me a part from all of the other doulas in my area. Little did I know, I already had my niche' built in with my other business-fitness.
But I've certainly learned quite a bit from the doula community on Facebook. First and foremost, every doula has different professional and business practices and not everyone agrees with or respects everyone's practices. With more research and joining several doula and birth worker groups, I have learned what kind of doula I want to grow to become. Being a Full Spectrum Doula is now my aspiration. FSDs often give care in all different types of situations such as high risk pregnancies, miscarriage and child loss, abuse, trauma, painful birth experiences, elderly care and doula-to-doula care. I am currently looking into other certifications such as Newborn Care Specialist and Lactation Consultant, but that will be later on. I plan to start my birth certification in a couple in 2017.
I have also learned that there is a small percentage of DOCs (Doulas of Color) that practice. While I am definitely proud to be one, my practice will be open and available to any mother/family who seeks my services. But I do want to be a new, young face that all mothers can be confident and comfortable in working with. I only hope to gain more knowledge with each day on my new journey to my new career.

New Climate Change Damage Study Predicts Regional Disparities
Cyndi Suarez
June 30th, 2017; CityLab
A new study published last week in the journal Science on the economic assessment of climate change damage in the U.S found that rather than affecting the country all at once, as previously assumed, climate change will have disparate effects on communities.
As NPQ has noted, in the Southeast (especially Florida), the Midwest, and the Deep South, rising temperatures could see harvests dwindle, summer energy costs soar, and cardiac and pulmonary disease epidemics occur; rising sea levels would erase real estate holdings. The total cost for these regions would be the equivalent of an additional 20 percent tax on income.
Climate change will also negatively impact the South and Southwest. Agricultural yields could fall by more than 50 percent in Texas. In western Texas and Arizona, energy costs could rise by 20 percent.
New England, the Great Lakes states, and the Pacific Northwest could prosper, with their incomes rising by about 10 percent as a result of longer growing seasons and the decrease in cold winter days. The study doesn't yet take into account the rapid collapse of the Greenland ice sheet, which scientists now predict.
In a recent CityLab article, Solomon Hsiang, a professor of public policy at the University of California, Berkeley and one of the authors of the study, explained the regional disparity as a consequence of hot places getting even hotter. "If you're in a hot location already, then increasing the temperature tends to be much more damaging than if you're somewhere that is cooler…The South, today, is very hot. So as the country warms up, the South is disproportionally bearing the burden."
Though the study focused on the economic impact of climate change damage, it found that the loss of human life is the biggest cost. "Almost every county between El Paso, Texas, and Charlotte, North Carolina, could see their mortality rate rise by more than 20 people out of every 100,000," almost twice that for people killed in auto accidents.
According to CityLab, "the high cost of climate change will fall on many of the places where people today seem least worried about the phenomenon."
Joseph Majkut, the director of the Niskanen Center, a libertarian think tank, said, "Most of the risk maps show that climate change is going to be terrible for Trump country. Like, it's not clear at all—from these maps—why reducing climate change is not a more urgent issue for Republicans, purely as a matter of representing their people."
For the last 25 years, researchers have been seeking to forecast the economic cost of climate change in the hopes of arriving at the social cost of carbon, in order to create a carbon tax. But political opposition to carbon tax has continued unabated and the amount of carbon in the atmosphere continues to go up.
This study, the first product of Climate Impact Lab, is the most detailed and rigorous economic assessment of climate change damage to date. It built its model from the bottom up with county-level, real-world data. An underlying assumption for the projections, which run through 2099, is a well-organized economy, a strong political community, and ongoing global peace. The researchers intend to add new sectors and data sources into the study.—Cyndi Suarez

Overcoming S/MIME Hurdles
How To Overcome Difficulties Of S/MIME Email Security
Home Product AnnouncementsOvercoming S/MIME Hurdles
Traditional certificate-based S/MIME email encryption is "end-to-end." Encryption and Decryption is done at the mail client level. This technique provides excellent confidentiality and authenticity since the emails are stored encrypted on the email server and clients. However, there are significant difficulties to S/MIME implemented at the mail client level.
Private Key Access: Because the emails are stored S/MIME encrypted at-rest, and the decryption is done ad-hoc on the mail client, EACH mail client needs to have access to a current copy of the user's private key to decrypt the message. So, every workstation, laptop, smartphone, etc. must have access to the user's current private key to read messages. Webmail based access further complicates reliable message access to S/MIME stored emails in a user's inbox.
Public Certificate Distribution: To encrypt an email to another person, the sender (S) needs the public certificate of the recipient (R). Traditionally, any inter-organization S/MIME email would require that R first sends a digitally signed email to S so he can capture R's public certificate. Only then can S send an S/MIME encrypted message to R.
Email Archiving: Because the emails are encrypted in the mail server, they will also be archived encrypted as well. This necessitates that the archive or eDiscovery solution either (1) must have access to each users' private keys to access the messages in the future, or (2) the mail clients themselves must decrypt and push the messages to the archive. Neither of these solutions are optimal, and also go against best practices for private key security.
Key Rotation: As a user's public certificate expires (usually yearly), they must be reissued. Although the process itself is trivial, it can present two large hurdles: (1) How can the user access old encrypted emails in the inbox after they update their key (they must archive all of their previous private keys), and (2) How will a sender know what public certificate to use when a user has updated their private key, either due to a compromise or periodic 'rotation'? They must be informed of the user's new public certificate, and there will be a period when the user will receive some emails encrypted with their expiring key and others with their new key.
'Sent' Folder: Despite all these efforts to keep messages encrypted at rest on the mail client and server, there is still a weak point in the chain: The 'Sent' mail folder of the sender. Most often, S/MIME messages are stored plain-text in the Sent folder on both the mail server and the local mail client. The only alternative is to encrypt the messages separately with the public key of the sender and store that in the sent folder. But this process is cumbersome and isn't the intended purpose of S/MIME: to provide email confidentiality and authenticity (among other things) to emails in transit.
So, what is the solution to all the pitfalls with end-to-end S/MIME?
(1) Use a gateway-level solution for S/MIME encryption and signatures.
(2) Secure your archives, mail server, and mail client data (possibly with folder or system level disk encryption).
Note: These recommendations are part of those published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in their publication in section 5.3.1.1 of Special Publication 800-177 "Trustworthy Email"
Here are the corresponding advantages:
With a gateway solution, you no longer need to have private keys spread amongst many devices, possibly stored with unprotected or weak passwords (or stored on systems that have been compromised with spyware). All private keys for your organization can be stored encrypted on one hardened server system, behind your corporate firewall.
Public certificates can be stored and accessed from a centralized server, available to all. A common gateway can publish all user's public certificates, and automatically update the repository with the latest certificate when revocations or reissues are necessary.
Archiving and eDiscovery solutions have no issues capturing and indexing emails from the mail server since S/MIME encryption/decryption takes place at the server level; the mail server does NOT store S/MIME encrypted messages.
Key rotations and reissues can be done all at once on the server. Since the public keys are published and available for other parties, they will automatically receive the new public key after a reissue.
What about 'Data at Rest'?
When employing a gateway level S/MIME solution, it is vital that your email infrastructure follows data security best practices. Data at rest should be protected at the mail server level and the mail clients either through a disk-based encryption solution or other means of tight access control. All connections such as IMAP between the client and server, and SMTP between the server and encryption server/service MUST be TLS encrypted. This is easily implemented and should already be part of any organization's security posture if they're handling sensitive or regulated data.
S/MIME is a fantastic tool for provide information security email communications. But all too often the hurdles presented by conventional end-to-end S/MIME make it a non-starter.
GlobalCerts has been successfully implementing a truly seamless, turn-key, gateway level S/MIME solution since 2002. Medical organizations, financial institutions, and state governments all use our solution to leverage S/MIME encryption that just works. We use a DNS-based, patented infrastructure called SecureTier™ to publish all users' public certificates, and automatically update this repository with the latest certificate when revocations or reissues are necessary.
Our SecureMail Gateway™ servers automatically leverage SecureTier to S/MIME sign and encrypt emails to other users, anywhere in the world. Our solutions automatically decrypt inbound messages and examine their digital signatures to ensure that messages originated from the indicated sender, and that the content has NOT been modified in transit. An easy to read footer is attached to all S/MIME messages to show the recipient that the message was secured and verified. GlobalCerts takes the headache out of email security by providing its customers with a completely automatic, seamless email security solution.

Q: select onclick that contains _blank i select links with a blank target to set a title attribute
jQuery('a[target~="_blank"]').attr('title', 'New window');

that works.
But when i select the onclick attribute that doesn't work
jQuery('a[onclick~="_blank"]').attr('title', 'New window');

any clues?
the link looks like that:
link

A: Use below code :
jQuery('a[onclick*="_blank"]').attr('title', 'New window');

A: This seems to work for me using the Attribute Contains Selector -
$("a[onclick*='_blank']")

Could you use that instead?
Demo - http://jsfiddle.net/uZaCW/

A: found that contains is * and not ~
jQuery("a[onclick*='_blank']").attr('alt', 'New window');

Swift said during the chat that she had been working on material for this album for about two years, and that she had a hard time selecting from about 30 songs to reduce the track list to 16. Swift also mentioned that she enlisted the help of several co-writers for the songs on Red (including UK singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran), which is of particular interest since Swift is known for writing most, if not all, of her own material. The singer suggested this marks a "new direction" for her music, one which she's excited for her fans to hear.
If the single is indicative of the rest of the songs on the track list, this "new direction" on Red may mark a complete shift for Taylor Swift from country to pop; "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" rests solely in the pop category. Nevertheless, we'll have to wait and see. Meanwhile, a lyric video for the single is up on YouTube, so I embedded it here. See what you think.

Today, if not for Xie Chengyan, you would die here.
In the entirety of Fang Jingxing's life, up until now, he had never been so miserable.
He hastily made this group of things shut up, unable to attend to shooing them away, and said, "Don't go offline, listen to my explanation."
Jiang Chen nodded, directly opening vendetta.
Blossoms raining down gently, fireflies swirling in the air; the aesthetic romantic scenery was, in vain, contaminated with murderous spirit.
The refined Seal Master stepped forward, the dark-colored seal sigils condensing at his fingertips before flying straight for the opposing party's face. The Master of Darkness' pale face immediately burst out a sphere of bloody mist.
The best man group: "……"
Xie Chengyan: "……"
The second round of attacks but the tail of the earlier one, a critical hit even. Suddenly, a bloody flower burst open.
The best man group finally snapped out of it. Going WTF, they threw away their firework sparklers and separated at high-speed. They eyed the Seal Master.
"No, no, no, the speech was prepared well."
"It's us that's no good. We're retarded. Hit us."
"Anger wounds the body; don't be angry, don't be angry, ah."
Fang Jingxing said, "You all get out of the way."
The best man group was once again dumbstruck, but they also knew they had caused a mishap and immediately did as they were told, vacating the area and hiding under the tree.
When they raised their heads at this time, they saw Xie Chengyan run over from the other side. Collectively looking at him as if he was their saving light, they pulled him over and softly asked, "In the end, what's going on?"
Xie Chengyan said, "I wanted to ask you guys. What were you doing? Who told you he wanted to confess?"
The best man group was shocked. "Isn't that so?"
Xie Chengyan said, "No, how could he be confessing?"
The best man group felt a bit wronged.
They gave the Film Emperor their analysis. "Making an appointment with someone to come here and take out a big pile of fireworks, not celebrating a birthday, but rather wanting to tell him something. You judge, carefully judge."
Xie Chengyan was actually left speechless for a moment.
In fact, he also did not know what Fang Jingxing meant when operating fireworks while confessing to someone.
Speaking of which, a shadow slammed down right in front of them with a bang.
World Champion, NXK's former captain, alliance male god who previously tyrannized countless people in competitions, had long become a corpse.
They instantly banded together in horror, as quiet as chickens.
They then saw that Seal Master stroll forward leisurely and kick the corpse.
Fang Jingxing revived on the spot and asked, "Cooled your temper?"
Jiang Chen said, "Not at all."
Fang Jingxing accepted his misfortune as decreed by fate. "Then come again."
Jiang Chen stood there, motionless.
Yesterday, he had taken the "little rookie" to fight instances countless times, free of charge. According to his temperament, he would return this deception several-fold based on this and seek out Fang Jingxing to abuse him back.
But the prerequisite was……he did not know a certain matter.
Seeing this thing's attitude of seeking out fans to eat sugar yesterday, if by chance he really was sweethearts with Xie Chengyan, then wouldn't that make him his nephew's wife?
His temper was bad, but to his family, he would forever have patience.
Fang Jingxing saw him not react and did not know whether the anger was still fierce or whether he was thinking about going offline silently and disappearing. He promptly sent out a sign for reinforcements while saying, "Don't go. I was wrong. I apologize."
Xie Chengyan arrived by his side and chimed in, "He kept thinking about how to confess to you. Truly, he did not deceive you. I am Xie Chengyan. If I deceive you, you can blacken me as much as you like. It doesn't matter."
Jiang Chen startled, staring at him.
Xie Chengyan played an Assassin.
Fang Jingxing's ID style and Jiang Chen's were different tunes played with equal skill.
Jiang Chen took it from a skill, ID World Annihilation. Fang Jingxing straightforwardly used the last word of Master of Darkness, ID Darkness. However, Xie Chengyan was different. He had paid more attention to choosing an ID than they did, ID Halite. It is the name of an assassin he had previously acted.
Jiang Chen asked, "What proof do you have that you are Xie Chengyan?"
Xie Chengyan responded, "How do you want me to prove it? Record a video?"
Jiang Chen said, "Telling me without taking the time to think; what is your mom called?"
Xie Chengyan said, "Jiang Shilan."
Jiang Chen: "Birth month?"
Xie Chengyan replied, "July."
Jiang Chen then knew this was indeed his family's nephew.
An imposter would usually remember the star's likes and characteristics, not the name of the star's mother. Even if they remembered, they were very unlikely to remember the birthday.
But he could not immediately declare his position. Instead, he said he was going to look it up on the internet to verify.
A minute later, he voiced, "En, I believe you."
Xie Chengyan then continued to speak up in support. "Today, he actually wanted to confess to you. Hear out his explanation, okay?"
For the first time, his nephew requested something from him. Jiang Chen certainly would not refuse.
He nodded and looked at Fang Jingxing, waiting for this thing to speak.
Fang Jingxing did not expect to be able to proceed smoothly after reaching such a desperate stage. He hurriedly captured this opportunity where the other's attitude was softened and took the other to the side to chat. The cause and effects, as well as his own misgivings, were all discussed. Lastly, he said, "I know you don't want to talk about playing professionally. I won't mention it in the future. We'll just play the game, okay?"
Jiang Chen gave an "En."
Fang Jingxing could not hear whether it was perfunctory, but he did not think this boy could speak so nicely and asked, "No blacklisting me?"
Jiang Chen gave him another "En."
He glanced at this vexed thing. "Today, if not for Xie Chengyan, you would die here."
If he had known about these two's relationship one night and day later, if Xie Chengyan was not present today, this thing shouldn't think about having an easy time.
He asked, "Are you two close childhood friends who one grew up with,[1] or are you sweethearts?"
Fang Jingxing said, "Close childhood friends."
Jiang Chen continued, "Then how come you were eating sugar yesterday? You like him?"
Fang Jingxing said, "No, I was just curious."
Jiang Chen said, cold and detached, "Oh, it was to change the subject."
Fang Jingxing: "……"
He knew this boy was still upset and stated, "If you are still unsatisfied, I will still call you brother in the future, how about it?"
Jiang Chen said, "Then I will lose too."
A close childhood friend who grew up with his nephew should call him uncle alongside his nephew.
Fang Jingxing did not know the actual facts. Having heard what was said, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. He thought to himself, this boy perhaps wanted to make him call our daddy.
He sensibly changed the topic and pointed over to the fireworks. "Last time, that pile of fireworks did not completely explode. I bought a new pile. How about I climb up the tree and hang there, while you continue exploding?"
Jiang Chen turned back to look and felt it was not bad.
However, he had always been the youngest in the family, but now he woke up and suddenly became an "elder." Due to not having a middle process, in addition to his mentality and physiological age both being young, he did not understand what to do as an "elder."
As a result, he thought about it. He wouldn't do the job himself.
A minute later, Fang Jingxing was standing up in the tree.
Twenty meters before him, each person of the best man group was carrying two fireworks, lined up in horror.
Jiang Chen sat to the side as a spectator, giving them guidance on how to use the fireworks.
The best man group felt incredulous. "You……you're making us use fireworks to pitapat[2] our family's brother?"
Jiang Chen asked, "Is there a problem?"
The best man group exclaimed, "You, you, you murderous heart!"[3]
Jiang Chen was very unperturbed. "En."
You, this "En," what a devil!
How could such a harmful move be thought up?!
Jiang Chen said, "Don't look distracted. Take out the power of the encouragement you just gave him."
How was this motherfucking the same?
We couldn't take it out!
Jiang Chen said, "He had bought fireworks to be used like this. Weren't you in a rush to help him? Help."
Regrets, they should not have come!
When they heard Fang Jingxing also say to just do it, they endured the blood dripping from their small hearts and began using fireworks to pitapat him, sorrowful.
Xie Chengyan had also become a spectator and restrained his laughter as he sent his friend a row of candles. He said, "This idea is pretty good. Later, you can buy some fireworks and play with them as if they were water guns."
He saw his friend request him to help make an appointment and asked, "Later, do you want to hit an instance?"
Jiang Chen asked, "You coming too?"
Xie Chengyan said, "Coming, but I can only play until ten o'clock. I have work today."
Jiang Chen said, "Okay."
A short while later, the first round of firework pitapat finished.
Jiang Chen stood and watched from beginning to end. This anger of his was finally appeased.
He watched Fang Jingxing walk over and got up to say, "Fang Jingxing, a PK?"
Just as the best man group sighed in relief after fully experiencing torment, they heard what was said and suddenly looked toward him.
WTF, still beating?
Fang Jingxing could understand what he meant and reminded, "Your level is lower than mine."
Last night, in order to brush equipment for the Seal Master, he had hit several instances. His level had also risen.
For them, a difference of a few levels might not matter against ordinary players, but between experts, a difference of one level could cause one's death.
Jiang Chen said, "They will go hit instances with me. You stay here and wait."
Fang Jingxing smiled helplessly and said, "Okay."
Jiang Chen then chose three of the five things, as well as his nephew, and took them away.
Fang Jingxing eyed the two remaining brothers and flashed a very friendly smile. "Come, let's chat."
The two persons: "……"
They knew they couldn't escape this beating.
An hour later, Jiang Chen returned.
The two left behind on the island had already run off. The three who went to hit an instance with Jiang Chen received information from their companions and deeply felt there was no benefit in disturbing their matter. They did not dare to come again. As for Xie Chengyan, it just happened to be time for him to go offline. Now, the only ones left on the isle were the two of them.
Seal Master, Master of Darkness.
The two looked at each other and simultaneously opened the video recording.
Fang Jingxing sent a PK invite. Jiang Chen clicked accept. Seal sigils began condensing at his fingertips, heading straight toward his opponent.
Fang Jingxing moved to the side to avoid, but just as he planned to counterattack, he suddenly found that his mana was sealed.
His heart jumped slightly. When did this boy make his move?
Jiang Chen naturally did not let this opportunity slip by. He followed through with a skill.
The small Level 20 skill could hit three targets at once, but he unexpectedly opened it in a straight line. All three orbs smashed into Fang Jingxing's body, causing his blood to brush down a chunk.
Fang Jingxing endured until the seal was lifted and immediately struck a critical hit.
Both sides were striking at an extremely fast — you go, I go — tempo. Fang Jingxing calculated the time and knew his Seal skill was off cooldown. He hastily dodged, but unfortunately, just as he took a step, he was hit by the seal and could not help but freeze.
If he knew Jiang Chen's identity, he would not be so amazed.
In those days of the alliance as the number one Seal Master, he was able to seal competitors silent in matches. This skill was a hundred percent sneaky.
Jiang Chen did not give him another chance and took advantage of the other's inability to use mana. He took him away in a burst and then asked, "Convinced?"
Fang Jingxing got up. "Come again."
The two started a second match.
Fang Jingxing ate a loss in the first round but would not eat another. He actively looked for an opportunity to hit a wave at him, relying on his superior blood capacity to knock him down. Smiling, he asked, "Are you convinced?"
Jiang Chen said, "Come again."
A PK match unexpectedly went on for nearly an hour.
If it were not for him being called by the AI, Jiang Chen assumed they would still be fighting on and on.
Fang Jingxing wished to continue as well. "Can't you be late for a while?"
Jiang Chen replied, "Can't."
Fang Jingxing asked, "Will you still go online at that time this afternoon?"
Jiang Chen said, "En."
Fang Jingxing smiled and said, "Then see you in the afternoon."
He watched the other's silhouette disappear and then took off his eyeglasses. He looked at Xie Chengyan, who was inside the room.
Xie Chengyan had taken a bath and eaten a meal. He was currently packing his luggage, but upon seeing this, he said, "How did the PK go?"
He did not hear a reply, so he turned to look and saw his friend's always smiling expression with extremely bright eyes, as if shining with light. He could not help but be distracted. "What's up?"
Fang Jingxing smirked. "I have decided on him."
Xie Chengyan raised a brow.
Fang Jinxing leaned against the sofa and reflected. "Now, I wish I could immediately reach max level and have another match with him."
Jiang Chen also had similar ideas.
After he finished eating, took a walk, and laid back down in bed, he felt that the blood within his body was still boiling. He could not sleep, so he said to the AI, "Sing me a song."
The AI asked, "What song?"
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and then requested a Linkin Park song.
After the two AIs searched for the song, they began singing.
Jiang Chen listened, very satisfied, and thought to himself, this song could still hold on.
But the staff members could not stand it anymore.
They ran over and opened the door. They saw Jiang Chen's closed eyes, both hands folded over his body. He looked unexpectedly a little serene. The two AIs stood beside the bed, howling at him, shouting themselves hoarse —— disco dancing atop a burial mound was nothing compared to this!
They were immediately shocked. "Don't sing. How can he sleep with you singing this?"
The two AIs were very innocent. "He ordered us to sing."
The staff members once again looked at Jiang Chen.
Captain Jiang closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, adopting an "I'm asleep" appearance.
The staff members remained silent for several seconds before dragging the two aggrieved AIs out.
In the end, Jiang Chen did not fall asleep and endured the next two hours until he could go online again.
Fang Jingxing had long been waiting for him. He greeted the other with a smile, "Brother, come?"
After the PK match, Jiang Chen found him more pleasing to the eye. He said, "Actually, I had also deceived you about something."
Fang Jingxing thought, unexpectedly, there was a surprise harvest. He curiously asked, "About what?"
Jiang Chen asked, "How old are you?"
Fang Jingxing said, "25."
Jiang Chen said, "I'm not 19 years old.
He patted the other's shoulder. "Later, call me uncle. When I began playing Wandering Dream, you still weren't born."
Fang Jingxing: "???"

Want to read our latest annual report?
Over the past 5 years, Just Love students have run 2700 events, with an aggregate attendance of over 33,000 students. They have raised £67,000 for other charities and given more than 21,000 volunteer hours in local communities.
In 2017-8 alone, our groups ran over 680 events, with an aggregate attendance of 8000 students, gave 5000 volunteer hours in local communities, and raised over £16,000 for other charities.
Students have volunteered in their local communities, doing everything from homeless outreaches to teaching English to refugees, from youth mentoring to collections for foodbanks.
They've run 24-hour long anti-slavery demonstrations on their campuses, collecting signatures to petitioning their universities to ensure slavery-free supply chains and raising money for International Justice Mission.
They've campaigned around religious persecution, climate change and Fairtrade.
In their 2016 Giving: Strings Attached campaign, Just Love Durham collected 774,144 individual sanitary products for homeless women across the North East and to Samara's Aid Appeal projects in Iraq and Zambia. Read about it here.
...and in 2016-7 we ran the Unashamed campaign, raising awareness of sexism violence against women at universities and equipping Christian students to confront these injustices in all their forms. The campaign trailer was seen 12,000 times on Facebook, our posts had a reach of 89,000 people and 10,000 directly engaged by reading, liking or sharing a blog post. The campaign was featured by Tearfund, 24-7, and Christian Today.
My involvement in Just Love has completely changed the course my life. It's opened my eyes to just how BIG Jesus is, and how all-encompassing His mission to the world is. It's helped me realise that social justice isn't an optional extra, but an integral part of Christian discipleship. As I leave university, the people I've met, and the experiences I've had in Just Love will continue to shape and form me.

Wagga City Council has approved the expansion of the Southern Oil Refinery in Bomen in a decision welcomed by industry leaders. At a price close to $2 million, the expansion of the oil plant will allow the bio-fuel production of advanced lubricants, which is currently being done at the Gladstone plant in Queensland, to be produced at a smaller scale in Wagga. Managing director Tim Rose said the operation can "finally go ahead" and move into the second stage expansion of the refinery. "There's still some stuff to be worked out with the council, who have been a little bit slow up until now," Mr Rose said. "We're hoping this continues and we will be able to create more jobs and economic output and secure the future for the next 20 years." The oil plant's extension is expected to cost $1.8 million and Mr Rose estimated about eight direct jobs and 20 to 30 indirect jobs, through logistics, will be created. "We'll start recruiting trainees in the next month and we're going to need engineers, scientists and operators who are university qualified and this will draw people from outside the region," he said. Wagga Business Chamber vice-president Daniel Donebus said this was a "very welcomed" development that will create more jobs. "This is a sign of confidence for Wagga and reinforces the company's commitment to the city and their long-term plan for maintaining a presence here," Mr Donebus said. "Requiring a skilled workforce in our economy will show continued growth in Wagga and keeps us on the map as an industry between the capital cities." Council's city strategy manager Tristan Kell said the oil plant is an "important business" as it is one of only two facilities in Australia that produces fully re-refined lube oil. "Innovation and recycling is a theme consistent with the long-term vision for Bomen, a thriving enterprise area supporting jobs and economic benefit for the region," Mr Kell said. "It is important that businesses based in Bomen are able to expand and grow to leverage from improved infrastructure to support transport and logistics and growing population in Wagga. "Council is working with industry and state government to streamline planning approvals within Bomen to support continued growth and remove red tape."

Why is innovative entrepreneurship important?
At a time when policy makers are pooling efforts to restore growth and overcome the global economic and financial crisis, specific attention has been focused on innovative entrepreneurship, as it can play an important role in contributing to economic growth, job creation and poverty reduction, and can help address key social challenges.
What types of businesses are innovative entrepreneurs?
Figure 1. The module for innovative entrepreneurship.
What are the key policy dimensions regarding innovative entrepreneurship?
Access to finance (see Access to finance). This policy dimension is concerned with access to capital required to establish and run a business. It includes access to debt financing, venture capital, business angels and other types of finance, as well as exit options and market. Access to finance is a key driver in the creation, survival and growth of innovative new ventures, as it enables new ventures to invest in innovative projects, improve their productivity, finance their growth and meet market demand.
Access to knowledge (see Firms' access to knowledge for innovative entrepreneurship). This dimension covers the various private, public and academic knowledge links that nourish innovative entrepreneurial activity. It deals with technological co-operation between firms, university-industry interface, R&D investments and other investments in innovation, intellectual property systems and access to information and communication technologies (ICT). Access to knowledge is essential for innovative entrepreneurship, as it is a key source of innovation-driven entrepreneurial opportunities.
Market environment (see Market environment for innovative entrepreneurship). This dimension deals with several aspects of market development and access, such as access to domestic markets, access to foreign markets, product market regulation, states of competition and public procurement. Market development and access play a key role in innovative entrepreneurship, since market opportunities will ultimately determine conditions for business success or failure.
Access to labour (see Access to labour for innovative entrepreneurship). This policy dimension deals with the conditions for acquiring highly-skilled human capital by entrepreneurs. It includes policies affecting the cost of hiring/firing, the availability of skilled labour and immigration.
Entrepreneurial capabilities and culture (see Entrepreneurial capabilities and culture). This dimension accounts for societal and cultural infrastructures, such as business support infrastructure, business and entrepreneurship skills and experience, and attitudes towards entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial capabilities play a critical role in market entry and in the success of new ventures, since they determine the capacity to identify opportunities, run new businesses, drive innovations and learn and adapt to changing circumstances. Culture may also affect innovative entrepreneurship by influencing the propensity of individuals to become entrepreneurs.
Regulatory Framework (see Regulatory framework for innovative entrepreneurship). This dimension deals with government regulations and public policies that influence the creation and early-stage growth of new companies, such as the administrative framework for entry and growth, the taxation regime and bankruptcy regulations.
The organisation of this module builds on the framework developed at OECD by the Entrepreneurship Indicators Programme (EIP) to define entrepreneurship, compare entrepreneurial outcomes across countries and measure policy and contextual determinants of entrepreneurship.
