If you're an agency still putzing around with the very idea of PR for your agency brand; if you still think an overworked AE can handle the agency's "publicity;" if you pride yourself on never having tweeted a tweet or think it's not your job to worry about social media, then I'm here to take you out of your comfort zone. Because agency reputation matters.
Recently, McKinney's Chief Creative Officer Jonathan Cude told me, "Only two things matter: The work and the people who do it. It's that simple and it's that hard." He and I know that an agency's work and the people who do it are the very definition of reputation. How we care for it, protect it, nurture it and share it with our stakeholder audiences is what makes each agency brand different from one another and uniquely valuable to client partners.
Nationwide's CMO Matt Jauchius said as much when he told the audience at the Ad Age CMO Summit, "Stop treating your agency like a vendor." John Hayes of American Express said this at last year's 4A's Transformation Conference: "I love it when one of my valued agency partners tells me I'm wrong." And Allstate's Lisa Cochrane gets downright teary when she talks about her relationship with Burnett. I'll never forget her running off the ANA stage like a blushing bride on the arm of Mayhem (the character played by Dean Winters in Allstate's ad campaign).
New-business consultants, because they can select you.
Headhunters, because they can refer hot talent to you.
Marketers, because they can entrust you with their brands.
Trade associations, because they can tap you to speak at their conferences.
The press, because that third-party endorsement speaks volumes.
Employees, because they can be your most powerful evangelists.
Consumers, because if your work translates into social currency for them, you're golden.
If we all made a list of the "best agencies," we'd agree on quite a few. Why? Because they made it happen. Your agency's reputation can be strong only if you treat it with the same care and attention as you do a client's. It should be your top priority.
I know we live in a social world. But don't think for a minute that pitching stories, securing speaking gigs, building relationships and being visible in the industry aren't important.
Too often I hear people say that we're talking to ourselves in the ad trades, that marketers don't read them. Not so fast. In addition to their print and digital editions, almost all of these publications are now in the events business as well. The best agencies pitch stories and conference speakers, who not only get coverage but also rub elbows with marketers and prospects in attendance.
Don't think you don't have time for the trades. Instead, make sure they have time for you.
Agencies definitely need the press, but we should also be lighting our own firecrackers. If you're treating your social platforms like the old days of 360-degree integration where you're checking a box (we've got Facebook, check; we've got Twitter, check; and we've got a slew of interns in charge of them, check), most likely your content and your dwindling followers reflect it. If your sites are nothing more than recycled journalism and bullhorns for how great you are, if there's nothing useful that your audiences can take away, you're better off not having them at all.
The best agencies have built and are managing hungry social platforms. How? They are treating their channels like they would a client's. It may mean building a team with folks already on staff: a writer, planner, content marketer, ACD, coordinator and analyst. It may mean a small budget. If done right, it will be worth it. Why shouldn't an agency flex its creative muscle with a fun, provocative, can't-be-ignored social effort on behalf its own brand?
Every great agency has a valued, best-of-the-best communications leader who lives every day to share the good news about the agency's work and POV. They take the hard phone calls, counsel the CEO on how that interview might have gone better, handle the angry tweet or assess if a story was awesome, neutral or, gulp, damaging. Whether full-time or part-time, they have the authority, the emotional intelligence and skill set to share your brand with your most important audiences. And they report directly to the CEO.
If you don't already have one, why not? Who is responsible for nurturing, protecting and building your agency's reputation?

Ransomware developers are not done attacking hospitals just yet
This year, the evil-minded creators of the file-locking ransomware viruses [1] seem to be especially fixated upon targeting the most sensitive parts of social services and infrastructure. And it is quite obvious why. Larger businesses, companies, and organizations have a large client base which allows the hackers to manipulate them more easily by threatening their trustworthiness and reputation within the society. No self-respecting company wants to let its clients know that their personal information has been put at risk because of the staff's negligent attitude towards their privacy and data security. In fact, keeping the public face is so important that often, these companies decide to pay the extortionists just so that the whole thing would remain under the seal of secrecy. Nevertheless, some of the ransomware victims speak out to let others know what dangers lie in store. Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust hospital [2] is one of them.
This British hospital has been put on the spot in October when its employees were suddenly no longer able to access the institution's internal network or the documents stored on the work computers. Because of this, the hospital's IT systems froze and over 2,800 medical appointments had to be rescheduled until the network is fixed. Closer analysis of the infected computers has revealed the source of this havoc: the healthcare institution was hit by what seems to be a .GSupport3 file extension virus (a variant of the Globe ransomware virus). This parasite has also deleted all the Volume Shadow Copies [3] of the encrypted files leaving the hospital staff no option for the data recovery in case no additional backups were created pre-attack. Allegedly, the infection was a result of a corrupt USB stick being plugged in into one of the employee's computers. Nevertheless, the NHS's Director of Strategy and Planning Pam Clipson denied [4] these claims and assured that a team of specialists has been appointed to find out the real cause of this infringement.
Luckily, the hospital was up and running once again a couple of days later, while the extortionists had to deal with the bitter sense of disappointment not having realized their malicious plan. Sadly, such cases are rare. Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Centre [5], for instance, has dealt with a similar attack just earlier this year, but gave in to the hackers' blackmailing tricks and paid around 17,000 USD for the encrypted files. Such events only accentuate the importance of cyber security and should urge company executives to educate their staff about it.

Why Do So Many People Read James Patterson Books?
Even James Patterson hasn't read all of these books.
This is a legitimate question (I think), and it's bothered me for years. James Patterson puts out at least one book a month, most of them with a coauthor. Most of the books have bad dialogue, no sense of setting, huge plot holes, and one-page chapters.
By most standards of writing, James Patterson's books are filled with bad writing. Despite all of this, every Patterson novel becomes a best seller. He even teaches a masterclass about how to write fiction, and I think people pay money for it.
This shouldn't happen. James Patterson should be shamed for writing so many books (I usually call them "rough drafts"), and publishers should be shamed for releasing these rough drafts to the public.
I don't even believe in shame tactics. I think shame tactics are used by people with weak arguments. But if I were to ever use a shame tactic (and I won't), it would be on James Patterson and his book publishers (but NOT on the people who buy his books).
Somewhere along the way, there should be a hiccup in James Patterson's book sales. At least one of his books should bomb, but they never do. Why is that?
I think I finally have the answer. And I explain it in the video below.
I don't want to bash James Patterson all the time because that can get old. He's not the only author who might be scamming readers. Here's an author who struck it big with a debut novel a couple years ago but turned out to be (in my opinion) kind of shady.
Famous Author Lifestyle Strategy: Lie about Having Cancer
When The Woman in the Window by AJ Finn came out last year, I was immediately suspicious of it. The novel was promoted as "the next Gone Girl." A bunch of other extra promotion was going into the novel, way too much for a first time author. The final straw was Stephen King calling the book "unputdownable." I'd been burned by King's overly positive reviews of mediocre fiction in the past, and I knew something was going on.
Then in an interview, I discovered that AJ Finn's real name was Dan Mallory and that he'd actually worked as an executive editor for the publishing company that was putting out the book. No wonder The Woman in the Window was getting so much publicity, I thought, nepotism. Journalists didn't seem to see anything wrong with that. I understood; if journalists voice their concerns, they won't get future interviews.
Despite all the super-hype for a first time novelist (I'm always suspicious of super-hype), I felt I needed to read at least an excerpt of The Woman in the Window. Maybe the novel really was that unputdownable. It happens, though I can't think of an example offhand. Usually a novel that is that unputdownable takes a while to get noticed. Still, I decided to read the first few chapters (without spending any money).
Writing too much about James Patterson or the author who lied about having cancer or other authors who lied/cheated to get book deals can get negative. I don't want to be negative all the time. Even though writers can get frustrated by aspects of publishing, now is a great time to be a writer.
5 Reasons Why It's Great To Be A Writer Today!
It's easy for most writers to be negative. It's tough to make enough money to earn a living. We're never satisfied with what we've written. No matter how many people read and respond to our work, it's never enough. But even with these challenges, it's better to be a writer today than it's ever been.
1. Writing is physically easier than it's ever been.
Authors used to have to physically hold a pencil or a pen and physically write out each word on a sheet of paper. Even worse, back in the really old days, writers had to dip quills into ink and then got beaten by monks if they made a mistake.
I'm not sure that ever really happened because there's no ancient video footage of monks beating writers who made mistakes. If there's no video footage of an event, I'm skeptical that it ever happened. Then again, back in the 1970s I saw nuns rap student knuckles with rulers, so if nuns in the 1970s were doing that, I'm pretty sure in the really old days monks did much worse to young writers who made errors on their parchments. After all, nothing inspires perfection like the threat of violence.
What do you think? Why do you think so many people read James Patterson books? Do you think James Patterson is scamming readers? If lying about cancer is bad, what kind of a lie is okay for a writer to tell the public?

I'd never really considered this before, but you've got some interesting points. James Patterson novels were some of the first books I read when moving from YA to adult fiction. I think it's a mix of the super short chapters and fairly colloquial language that makes his novels such easy reads. Easy reads will always brings readers in no matter how good (or bad) the plot line is!

Q: IF statement batch script I am trying to write a small batch script which will get the free space and then write to a report (.txt) whether or not that disk needs to be cleaned down if it is over 80% full.
 I have never used batch for scripting so i'm using this as a little project.
The issue i am having is, i get the message to clean down the disk no matter what the argument is.
Here's my code:
wmic /node:"%COMPUTERNAME%" LogicalDisk Where DriveType="3" Get DeviceID,FreeSpace|find /I "c:" > test.txt

FOR /F "eol=; tokens=2,3* delims=, " %%i in (test.txt) do @echo %%i

if [%%i] GEQ [10] (echo "Clean up is needed" > cleanupneeded.txt)

if someone could let me know if this is even possible i'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

A: Try this.  I didn't test your code - just that the syntax was not quite right.
FOR /F "eol=; tokens=2,3* delims=, " %%i in (test.txt) do if %%i GEQ 10 echo "Clean up is needed" > cleanupneeded.txt

A: GEQ means "greater or equal. what you are looking for is LEQ - "less or equal". (or possibly LSS - "less")
and, of course, the if needs to be on the same line as the for, or enclosed in parentheses, i assume you just replaced it with the echo for testing.

Air plasma surface treating is an emerging green technology for leading manufacturers tasked with assembling and decorating plastics, composites, glass and metals. It is a powerful, yet relatively inexpensive technology that is used by both Fortune 100 companies and small operations to improve bond strength, product quality and throughput.
You can see the effects of plasma treatment with improved adhesion of inks, adhesives, coatings and paints. You can use dyne solutions to detect how plasma treating improves in wettability and surface energy. And maybe you've heard that plasma cleans, etches and functionalizes surfaces, but what's really going on at the surface that leads to improved adhesion?
In this presentation, surface treating expert Wilson Lee shares insights on plasma and surface preparation.
Access to the webinar includes both the recorded presentation and the presentation slides.

All-in-one Light-driven Water Splitting
Solar-powered water splitting is a promising means of generating clean and storable energy. A novel catalyst based on semiconductor nanoparticles has now been shown to facilitate all the reactions needed for "artificial photosynthesis".
A new photocatalytic system works like a multitool which separates the bonds in water molecules. (Graphic: C. Hohmann, Nanosystems Initiative Munich NIM)
In the light of global climate change, there is an urgent need to develop efficient ways of obtaining and storing power from renewable energy sources. The photocatalytic splitting of water into hydrogen fuel and oxygen provides a particularly attractive approach in this context. However, efficient implementation of this process, which mimics biological photosynthesis, is technically very challenging, since it involves a combination of processes that can interfere with each other.
Now, LMU physicists led by Dr. Jacek Stolarczyk and Professor Jochen Feldmann, in collaboration with chemists at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) in Bavaria, led by Professor Frank Würthner, have succeeded in demonstrating the complete splitting of water with the help of an all-in-one catalytic system for the first time. Their new study appears in the journal Nature Energy.
Mimicking natural photosynthesis
Technical methods for the photocatalytic splitting of water molecules use synthetic components to mimic the complex processes that take place during natural photosynthesis. In such systems, semiconductor nanoparticles that absorb light quanta (photons) can, in principle, serve as the photocatalysts.
Absorption of a photon generates a negatively charged particle (an electron) and a positively charged species known as a 'hole', and the two must be spatially separated so that a water molecule can be reduced to hydrogen by the electron and oxidized by the hole to form oxygen. "If one only wants to generate hydrogen gas from water, the holes are usually removed rapidly by adding sacrificial chemical reagents," says Stolarczyk. "But to achieve complete water splitting, the holes must be retained in the system to drive the slow process of water oxidation."
The problem lies in enabling the two half-reactions to take place simultaneously on a single particle – while ensuring that the oppositely charged species do not recombine. In addition, many semiconductors can be oxidized themselves, and thereby destroyed, by the positively charged holes.
Nanorods with spatially separated reaction sites
"We solved the problem by using nanorods made of the semiconducting material cadmium sulfate, and spatially separated the areas on which the oxidation and reduction reactions occurred on these nanocrystals," Stolarczyk explains. The researchers decorated the tips of the nanorods with tiny particles of platinum, which act as acceptors for the electrons excited by the light absorption.
As the LMU group had previously shown, this configuration provides an efficient photocatalyst for the reduction of water to hydrogen. The oxidation reaction, on the other hand, takes place on the sides of the nanorod. To this end, , the LMU researchers attached to the lateral surfaces a ruthenium-based oxidation catalyst developed by Würthner's JMU team.
The compound was equipped with functional groups that anchored it to the nanorod. "These groups provide for extremely fast transport of holes to the catalyst, which facilitates the efficient generation of oxygen and minimizes damage to the nanorods," says Dr. Peter Frischmann, one of the initiators of the project in Würzburg.
SolTech: Concepts for the conversion of solar energy
The study was carried out as part of the interdisciplinary project "Solar Technologies Go Hybrid" (SolTech), which is funded by the State of Bavaria.
"SolTech's mission is to explore innovative concepts for the conversion of solar energy into non-fossil fuels," says Professor Jochen Feldmann, holder of the Chair of Photonics and Optoelectronics at LMU.
"The development of the new photocatalytic system is a good example of how SolTech brings together the expertise available in diverse disciplines and at different locations. The project could not have succeeded without the interdisciplinary cooperation between chemists and physicists at two institutions," adds Professor Frank Würthner who heads the JMU Chair of Organic Chemistry II. Together with Feldmann, Würthner initiated SolTech in 2012.

Context: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with many traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors, but it is unclear whether PCOS is an independent risk factor for hypertension.
Objective: To investigate in a population-based setup whether PCOS associates with the risk of hypertension independently of body mass index (BMI) and with cardiovascular manifestations.
Design: Cross-sectional assessments in the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 at ages 31 and 46 years.
Setting: General community.
Participants: Women who reported both oligo/amenorrhea and hirsutism at age 31 years and/or a diagnosis of PCOS by age 46 years [self-reported PCOS (srPCOS), n = 279] and women without PCOS symptoms or diagnosis (n = 1577).
Intervention: None.
Main Outcome Measures: Blood pressure (BP), BMI, and cardiovascular manifestations.
Results: Use of antihypertensive medication was significantly more common in women with srPCOS. At age 31 years, women with srPCOS had significantly higher systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) than control women (SBP: normal weight: 119.9 ± 13.2 vs 116.9 ± 11.4 mm Hg, P = 0.017; overweight/obese: 126.1 ± 14.3 vs 123.0 ± 11.9 mm Hg, P = 0.031; and DBP: normal weight: 75.5 ± 10.0 vs 72.4 ± 9.6 mm Hg, P = 0.003; overweight/obese: 80.7 ± 11.8 vs 78.0 ± 10.6 mm Hg, P = 0.031). At age 46 years, srPCOS was significantly associated with hypertension (adjusted odds ratio = 1.56; 95% CI, 1.14 to 2.13) independently of BMI and with higher cardiovascular morbidity (6.8% vs 3.4%, P = 0.011). Hypertensive srPCOS displayed consistent, unfavorable changes in cardiac structure and function compared with controls.
Conclusion: Women with srPCOS displayed higher BP compared with controls already at early age and srPCOS was associated with hypertension independently of overweight/obesity. srPCOS was associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity in premenopausal women, suggesting that cardiovascular disease risk factors should be screened and efficiently managed early enough in women with PCOS.

Exactly How Can I Start A Legit Online Business For Much Less?
Discussion forums are a vital part of the internet which have actually become very popular over the last few years. Online forums are online communities of individuals who share an usual passion on a certain subject. People will certainly upload messages on the discussion forum asking questions or raising troubles, as well as these will be responded to by the various other members. Online forums are a terrific method to spread out ideas, resolve problems, and also interact with people from all strolls of life.
However, with such a plethora of company providers, occasionally it becomes tough for site owners to select an appropriate discussion forum craiglist flagging service for their website. But if you think about the complying with points when employing such a service, you can certainly enjoy the complete benefits of it.
Exactly how can the website procure you free presents? Well they get paid whenever you do a deal as well as they keep half of that saved for exactly what ever before you want to order. They maintain track of them by providing you points. 1 factor values one cent. One fantastic this is that they will certainly provide you 250 points right off the back once you register. If a website would provide a complete unfamiliar person that much money then they are absolutely worth a look.
Several food store, such as United, have area notice boards for any person to craigslist flagging service flagging on. This is a fantastic location to advertise your companies. You may attach an envelope with calling card for possible clients to take.
Well, writing and craiglist flagging paying for an ad that includes no benefits-the SECRET ingredient-is simply as ridiculous. Yet, 90% of the advertisements we see are simply like autos without engines, power drills without bits, swimming pools without any water. In the majority of instances, a complete waste of resources-time, cash, and also mind cells!
Besides bags, individuals are likewise thinking about designer bags. These handbags are made by a name brand developer home. Some examples are purses by Coco check here Network or by Louis Vuitton. Nevertheless, as with bags, there are numerous reproductions as well as imitation items aiming to cheat customers.
One of one of the most effective means to utilize social network websites as a way to locate a person via e-mail is to use a website referred to as Yoname. Yoname is a site that will certainly enable you to look with a variety of social network sites at once.
If feasible it's a great bet to obtain a test drive of the watercraft on the water, yet this is not always convenient for the seller. If when you do get a boat be sure and obtain every little thing in composing, and to get the title and registration, and also other manuals or files that belong with the boat.

Which is in increments of 6 days not 7 (assuming Sunday is closed). I am trying to run set the wk column to date format to run some anaysis but cannot seem to correctly do it.
inds <- seq(as.Date("2009-12-28"), as.Date("2010-12-26"), by = "week")
set.seed(25)
myts <- ts(yogurt_drug$WEEK(length(inds)),
           start = c(2009-12-28, as.numeric(format(inds[1], "%j"))),
           frequency = 52)

I get this error:
Error in is.data.frame(data) : attempt to apply non-function

A: Your question lacks of reproductibily : we don't have yogurt_drug$WEEK to test your problem.
However I think your problem comes from yogurt_drug$WEEK(length(inds))
The presence of ( ) implies the use of a function, but yogurt_drug$WEEK isn't a function, it's your dataframe.
Try this instead :
inds <- seq(as.Date("2009-12-28"), as.Date("2010-12-26"), by = "week")
set.seed(25)
w <- lubridate::week(ymd("2009-12-28","2010-12-26"))
y <- lubridate::year(ymd("2009-12-28","2010-12-26")) # this is overkill because obviously we know that the year of "2009-12-28" is 2009, but now you know this function exists too.
myts <- ts(yogurt_drug$WEEK,
           start = c(y[1],w[1]),
           end = c(y[2],w[2]),
           frequency = 52)

PS : if you want only the item number length(inds) of yogurt_drug$WEEK then use yogurt_drug$WEEK[length(inds)]
Edit : added the use of lubridate package (don't forget to install and load it) to get week and year from your start and end dates.

Ooredoo hunkers down against online threats
Arrests after threats over Israeli soldier's conviction
Ooredoo to launch online portal for Data Centre's customers
Ooredoo's online safety campaign a huge success
Ooredoo showcases success strategy on 'Capital Markets Day'
Hurricane smashes into Mexico resort
Al-Kubaisi ... security first
Ooredoo has issued a warning to companies to raise awareness and protection against Internet threats after a resurgence of a serious virus impacting companies and organisations in the GCC.
According to news reports in the region, the Shamoon 2 malware – which overwrites computer hard disks and disrupts networks – has been detected in a number of e-mail attachments and targeted e-mail attacks in January.
In 2012, Shamoon was used in a huge cyberattack on companies in Saudi Arabia, partially wiping and destroying more than 35,000 computers.
The detection of the virus on a number of new e-mails circulating in the GCC region should act as a warning for companies to update their security protocols and processes.
At Ooredoo, which provides security solutions and network protection for large and leading enterprises across Qatar, security experts are already working to ensure that all systems are updated and all employees informed about the risks of this virus.
Ooredoo Qatar chief operating officer Yousuf Abdulla al-Kubaisi said: "Security is one of the highest priorities for businesses today, and it's essential that our customers are fully-aware of the threats that are on the horizon.
"Ooredoo is starting 2017 with a robust communications campaign designed to alert people about the dangers of malware and ransomware, and to educate them about the tools that are available to keep company assets safe."
As well as publishing cyber-security tips for businesses on its LinkedIn page, Ooredoo is highlighting the benefits of its unified Managed Security Services (MSS) portfolio, which offers the most comprehensive suite of security services available in Qatar, supported by world-class global security partners.
The Managed Security Services (MSS) portfolio is available via Qatar Data Centre, Ooredoo's state-of-the-art facility that protects companies and organisations in Qatar with around-the-clock protection against breaches and cyberattacks.
By subscribing to MSS, companies can access the latest and most advanced security solutions without needing to invest in expensive hardware or bring in the highly-qualified staff necessary to monitor and manage the security solutions.
Ooredoo's MSS portfolio provides a range of solutions, including the Managed Security Operations Centre (SOC), which delivers comprehensive 24x7 security monitoring, incident detection and response across 750 supported systems, monitoring firewalls, servers, routers, databases and antivirus systems, which can detect and alert customers about Shamoon and similar malwares.
"Our portfolio of cybersecurity solutions was designed to offer a complete response to help ensure our nation's data remains secure.
We have solutions for every business, small or large, and can tailor security packages to fit specific businesses' needs," al-Kubaisi said.
In addition to the advanced solutions, Ooredoo can also provide security experts for consulting and management support, who can even be based on-site at customers' premises as required.
For full details of the solutions available, business customers can arrange a meeting with their account manager or call the business team on their toll free number 800-8000.

Rainforest Cafe's Cha! Cha!
By _Cantamelon_
I love sitting at the Rainforest Cafe and looking around at all the animal decorations. Not only that, the structures and the shop are all so rainforest like. In that way it makes you feel, magical! The Rainforest Cafe is a big part of my childhood and I want to share it with the rest of the world.
My favourite character there being Cha! Cha!, he's so cool in the way he's a frog, but he can stand up on two legs. He acts just like a human even though he's not. I love Lego and Rainforest Cafe, so I thought why not put them together.
Features: You can move around Cha! Cha!'s legs because they're on a ball joint. You can move his feet up and down. You can move his arms around. You can also move each of his fingers up and down too.

About BRC
Brian F. Walsh
bwalsh@barnesrichardson.comDownload V-card(312) 297-9552
Brian Walsh began practice with the firm in 1985 and has had substantial experience, and notable successes, in virtually every aspect of Customs and International Trade Law practice. Representing both importers and exporters, a particular focus of Brian's practice has been compliance with the laws and regulations administered by the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, the Bureau of Industry and Security and the Office of Foreign Assets Control.
Through the conduct of Legal Compliance Reviews, Brian has developed programs to enable importers and exporters to conduct their international trading operations in a compliant, cost effective manner. While focusing on compliance in the course of such reviews, he is able to devise duty saving strategies and enable traders to achieve substantially increased efficiencies in their international operations. In conjunction with such compliance efforts, Brian has a particularly active practice obtaining binding rulings from the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection. In some cases, strategies solidified though these means have enabled companies to bring products to market which would have been otherwise denied access due to prohibitive duty liability or export restrictions. He is able to translate the complexities of special duty preference programs such as those available under the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Generalized System of Preferences in a straight-forward, practical manner.
In circumstances in which clients have not maintained compliance, Brian has been able to effectively protect these clients from the liability of penalty assessments through the filing of prior disclosures. A number of these disclosures have been in the multi-million dollar range and have insulated clients from potential penalty liability in the tens of millions of dollars. He has been active in representing companies in audits and investigations, both civil and criminal, conducted by each of the agencies regulating international trade on both the import and export side.
He has also been active in the area of antidumping law representing both petitioners and respondents. His involvement in such cases has included substantial briefing and hearings before the International Trade Administration and the International Trade Commission, compilation of antidumping questionnaire responses and representation in overseas Commerce Department verifications. His activities in this area of the law have included representation in the largest antidumping case in U.S. history, filed against imports of crude petroleum from Saudi Arabi, Venezuela, Mexico and Iraq.
Brian has litigated significant cases before the United States Court of International Trade, The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and participated in one of the first bi-national panel reviews under the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement, the predecessor of the North American Free Trade Agreement. He has also been successful in settling several multi-million dollar disputes in advance of trial.
A frequent speaker on topics related to Customs and International Trade, Brian has addressed numerous international trade associations, industry groups and legal associations such as the International Trade Club of Chicago, The World Trade Institute, The Chicago Bar Association, and the American Petroleum Institute. He has conducted a monthly educational seminar program for the Customs Brokers and Foreign Freight Forwarders Association of Chicago continuously for more than a decade and has been on the Board of Directors of that organization since 1995. He is often called upon to conduct internal training seminars for companies involved in international trade and has developed substantial educational materials for use in such training seminars.
Brian is the Meritas representative for the Chicago office of Barnes, Richardson & Colburn.
He is married and has two children.

In 2015 I watched the events of Baltimore unfold after the death and burial of Freddie Gray through the lens of Devin Allen. His photography captured the bitter pain that sat at the core of the emotional protests against police brutality. Over the years I've watched his career flourish; he's been in numerous shows, has been featured in magazines, and he has used his creative influence to create local charitable programs that expose photography to young kids. His hands on approach to community engagement is admirable and his photographic work has evolved into a style that's reminiscent of Gordon Parks, Warhol and Roy DeCarava with a distinctive point of view that is entirely his own.
It was this picture that he posted today on Instagram that reminded me of one of the greats, Romare Bearden. This photo of boarded up row houses in Baltimore looks like Bearden's collaged interpretation of Lenox Ave in Harlem. In The Block (1971), Bearden provides the viewer with a window into the rich, complex lives of a neighborhood in Harlem. Allen's photography serves the same purpose; he provides us with a window into Baltimore's triumphs and struggles through his subjects.
Devin Allen's work is currently featured in the Studio Museum of Harlem's aptly named group show, The Window and the Breaking of the Window on view through April 2, 2017. For more on Bearden's classic work The Block, The MET museum has produced a fun, dynamic and interactive look into the work.


I'm Here. I'm Queer. What the Hell do I read?: Happy Thanksgiving - "A Note To My Kid" - Giving Thanks for our GLBTQ Loved Ones!
Happy Thanksgiving - "A Note To My Kid" - Giving Thanks for our GLBTQ Loved Ones!
A Note To My Kid is a wonderful new blog. In it, parents, family and friends who love the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning and gender-non-conforming people in their lives write open letters to them.
What a path we have travelled since that night when you told me you were gay and I answered: "No you aren't you just think you are because you have been hanging out with those guys for too long". What I knew about homosexuality back then would have filled one line of an address book.
But I determined I would learn so I could convince you that you really were not gay and so I could change you.
As Dr. Phil would say how's that working? Well, you know and I know, that didn't work and I soon discovered that the person who had to change was not you but me.
I did not know my son was gay until his freshman year of college. I must admit to a feeling of loss when I first knew. Loss of a wedding to attend, loss of a daughter in law who may just love my antiques etc. But as time as progressed I have learned that I did not lose anything....I gained a son who was honest with me, and if things change... I may yet have a wedding to attend and maybe even his partner will like my antiques:-). I just had to re-learn.... and Kevin helped me with that. I am lucky. My son had little trouble accepting who he is and being so self-assured has helped others and myself accept it. I love him a great deal, as does his Father, and his entire extended family. He is very special man, and we are lucky to know him and have him in our lives. This world could use many more just like him!!
I know this is a process of stages. Grief is the first, acceptance the middle, celebration is the last.
My darling now you must be who you were meant to be, embrace this love and be happy. Know when to cut people out of your life who are not good for you no matter how hard. You need to feel true love and that is on offer now, and if you ever need me my darling, I am on call 24 hrs a day.
"You have taught me love isnt defined by others. Love is limitless. Just like you.
Reading these notes is like a bath in unconditional love, and I'm thankful to have found it. So go lose yourself reading the notes at "A Note To My Kid." And maybe write a note to someone you love in your life.


Wine EnthusiastThis ultrarich, opulent wine has such purity of fruit. With its pepper and spice flavors layered over mango and ripe nectarine, it is a straight line of pure flavor, rich and complex.
Wine SpectatorRacy acidity frames this white, driving white peach, kumquat, star fruit and cantaloupe flavors, with a rich, smoky subnote. Very refined and well-cut, with all the details attended to. The lingering finish echoes the wine's smoky mineral side, with a pretty floral note of orchard blossoms. Drink now through 2030. 670 cases made.

Is Your Baby Suffering From Sleeping Problems?
When your baby has a problem sleeping, life in every form can become almost impossible for you! What's frustrating is that the baby can never drop off to sleep during the nights or at anytime convenient for you! Here are a few tips on how to make your baby sleep calmly without spurts of wakefulness.
Music is one of the few lullabies that babies appreciate. Try playing soft peaceful music in the nursery, or even singing softly to the baby! Slow, soft and repetitive sounds are known to lull the baby to sleep. Try reading poems or bedtime stories to your little ones, even if they are too young to understand them. You'll have your baby in dreamland in no time!
A lot of babies feel protected whilst they are being rocked or even held. Pace around the room slowly with your baby in your arms, and see him nod off. Babies also fall asleep during motion; a stroller ride or a drive in your car. This may be very frustrating since you've no liberty of falling asleep at this time! Try taking the baby for a short drive and then settle him at home!
You can also opt to use a rocking crib which fixes in place so your baby doesn't get accustomed to this rocking movement at all times. Rocking cribs help your baby fall off to sleep, but don't get them too used to this, since they're likely to have a problem once they get older and shift to a bed that cannot rock.
Babies are quick to pick up on any changes in the atmosphere. Even if you're anxious about your baby's lack of sleep, try to keep calm and do not communicate this feeling to your baby. The baby will associate this strange feeling with sleeping time and be afraid to of bedtime or even scared of the dark. This leads to sleeping troubles which may last up to adulthood! When getting your baby to go to sleep, listen to some soft music to relax both you and the baby. This will create a safe state for your baby to nod off in!
If you're currently in a routine that doesn't seem to be working for your baby, experiment with changes to it. Try out different options; different sleeping time for the baby, both parents involved in putting the baby to sleep, napping during day-time, changing the baby's feeding times and so on. If you try to fix the baby in with your own routine, you'll have some serious problems with the baby!
If the above tips do not work in putting your baby to bed, it is best to seek your doctor or paediatrician's help, so that there is no boundary left untouched in the quality care you wish to provide to your baby.

You'll also notice the 'Quick Navigation' feature – if you have a lot of Password Lists, this allows you to quickly search and navigate to the correct one. This feature can also be turned off if you don't want to see it.
As always, we welcome as much feedback as possible.
Thanks for this excellent tool. Actually I installed it today on my server, and I was telling myself that the only thing the software lacks is actually the capability to group the passwords (with N level of groups).
So I am pretty glad to discover that this feature is planned for the next version.
Do you have any idea when the next version will be ready ? I am really looking forward to it.
One more suggestion is that it would be interesting to have a shortcut to the permissions directly from the passwords view. So it would be possible to manage directly the access permissions from the same password page, more user friendly.
Thanks for the encouraging feedback. At this stage we're not exactly sure of the release date for the next version (hopefully the next few months) as we have to re-write a lot of code to support a more granular permission structure. With this more granular permission structure, you will be able to view the password permissions as you've suggested.
Thats great news about the grouping of passwords. When I suggested that I never thought you would get it done soo quickly. Its great to see user feedback being implemented. Do you have the security model associated with that in a similar fashion to inheitance in NTFS , where you can inherit and break permissions as well as assigning by user and group ?
I have been looking to implement password state for the last 12 months and it really looks like a greate product.
If I implement passwordstate 4.3 now rather than wait for 5, will it be easy to then move the existing password list to the folder structure available in PS 5 ?
– Security Model – In the next version you will able to assign permissions via local security groups within Passwordstate, or synchronized with Active Directory Security Groups. Read Only, Change and Admin roles will be available, and can be assigned at the Password List, or individual password.
– When upgrading to version 5, it will import all the Shared Password Lists and show them as a flat structure in the navigation tree. All you need to do then to organize is drag & drop for logical grouping, and assign images if you wish.
Thanks again for your feedback Steve.


Keeping teeth in their place. And healthy.
Deep decay, infections, or simply age are all reasons we would recommend removing a tooth. Should that happen, or should the tooth fall out on its own, we may suggest space maintainers. Space maintainers help teeth stay in place while the new teeth come in. That means they help control crowding and other problems that may help prevent braces.
As for adult teeth, Dr. Kady believes they should stay where they are.

Students, parents, and educators can get Office 2019 free if they qualify. Enter your school's email address to find out. 9. How does the price compare to Office 365 — is it a better deal over the long term. Each user also gets 1TB of free OneDrive cloud storage and 60 minutes of free Skype calling to landlines and mobile phones per user (Skype-to-Skype calls are always free). However, if you also need cloud storage, you have to pay for that separately. The biggest cost difference between the two comes with the number of users. So, unless you really need the on-premisis version of Office, an Office 365 subscription is the better the deal. 10. Will Microsoft phase out the on-premises version of Office entirely.

But I have a question that I wish someone could help me with. We have ceramic tiles in our master bathroom that have all sorts of faces on them. When I look at the tiles from all different angles I see faces of different sized people. All of these are very unique forms and I'm just fascinated with it all. I wonder if all of them are by design or whether they are faces of individuals who had lived many years ago and have since died. I'm quite serious.

Then there's that crazy little glimmer in his eye when he buys a hammer. With that sort of setup you would assume there would be lots of scenes of vindictive blood and guts. I won't say there aren't any, but this certainly isn't a film like Death Wish where one is expected to gleefully cheer on violent murder. Much like a Michael Haneke film, the violent acts are rarely presented on screen, and if they are it isn't the purpose of the film to glorify them. The dead and dying, the oppressive din of suffering voices are all more important focal points of the camera. These are the images that torment Joe, and we can more faithfully enter into his trauma via this stylistic choice. Johnny Greenwood's frenetically danceable and cacophonously eerie score solidly intensifies Joe's tenuous grasp on reality while he is lost between moments of clarity and visions of senseless death. What I think elevates the film past the best of psychological thrillers or action flicks is that You Were Never Really Here is a film that points to the best of cinema in the last few years and the world surrounding film today. There are visual echoes of Good Time, Get Out, maybe surprisingly A Ghost Story, and unsurprisingly Inherent Vice. The plot synopsis on Wikipedia makes it seem as though what we are watching is certain and factual. To assume that these events and connections have all occurred without question undermines the feverish thought process and perspective of Joe, and it also assumes he is a reliable narrator. In fact, I'm not even sure he's really there (damn, I would have nailed that titular reference if not for tense and second vs. Some of the more surrealistic sequences give me the impression that he is a ghost or dreaming. I don't know, and I don't want to, and it is exactly this ambiguity that makes what could be a miserable or fruitless revenge story into a riveting and thought-provoking work of art. 12 months ago via Rotten Tomatoes Tomb Raider (2018) You know what you haven't heard enough about recently.

Laural A. Bidwell grew up in Connecticut but left the rolling hills of the East years ago for the wide-open spaces of the American West. She first lived in Colorado Springs, then moved on to Denver before finally finding her home in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Like many, Laural discovered South Dakota more by accident than on purpose: on a rambling road trip, drifting north and east across the plains, she glanced at her map and realized she was within an hour of South Dakota, a state she'd never before visited. She decided to head for the border town of Ardmore to get gas and stay the night.
Ardmore had (and still has) a population of four. There was no gas station. There was no place to stay. The dot on the map was larger than the town. Low on gas, she forged on to the next town on the map (Hot Springs) where she got gas, found a place to stay, and discovered the Black Hills. It was love at first sight: from the prairie grasslands and rolling hills of the south to the otherworldly badlands of the east to the craggy peaks and granite spires of the north, the Black Hills offer an amazing diversity of outdoor opportunities and scenic beauty.
Now living in Hot Springs and playing in the beautiful Black Hills, Laural still enjoys road trips, as well as writing and spending time with her husband, Jim; her golden retrievers, Willow and Maverick; and her cat, Spike.

How Does Your Garden Grow?: Raymond And Veronica McGill
Templepatrick
Transmission 01/05/1991
Digitised as part of the UTV Archive Partnership Project (ITV, Northern Ireland Screen and PRONI)
Department for Communities, ITV, Public Record Office of Northern Ireland
Philip Wood and David Wilson explore the garden of Raymond And Veronica McGill in County Down, "just a few miles down from Templepatrick".
Raymond guides Philip around his showstopping garden which is a "memoir of a much travelled man" with an abundance of plant life from every corner of the globe. There is plenty to see... in fact there is 17 sections of the garden, all joined together by half a mile of paths.
However, Raymond has humour over his ever expanding garden as he explains that he never set out to have this, he only wanted a little path through the trees but "once you start growing... you get more and more and they get out of control... it's a little bit like having a drink - nobody sets out to be an alcoholic!".
Late Philip Woods developed an encyclopaedic knowledge of botany and horticulture and bred new varieties of plants and flowers for the nurseries in Northern Ireland. Before he settled down in NI he served in the Royal Corps of Signals and saw active service in many countries around the world during WWII. After the war, Philip took up the post of manager of the Slieve Donard Nursery in Newcastle, County Down. He was also one of the founding members of the Mourne Mountain Rescue Team and was appointed as its first leader. Later when retired, he devoted his time to designing gardens and providing advice, sharing his knowledge through gardening classes, lectures, newspaper articles, radio programmes

Nobel laureate James Watson, who discovered the structure of DNA with Francis Crick in 1953, came to Google to talk to us about his current work on the genetic basis of autism.
He talked first about the events of 50 years ago, a talk he had previously given to the Commonwealth Club.
He then talked about his work at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on autism and genetics. He didn't mention the recent discovery by UCLA scientists pinpointing an autism related region on chromosome 17, but he did talk about regions on chromosome 15, and several times referred to the work of Simon Baron-Cohen on fetal testosterone.
Since males have a much higher risk of autism than females, and fetal testosterone may be involved, much of the talk and even more of the questions at the end of the talk dealt with Watson's ideas about mental differences between the sexes. He linked mathematical ability to masculinity, and said that mathematically inclined men "should marry for beauty", since there is a higher incidence of autism in children where both parents have "masculine" traits like mathematical ability. He said he thought Rosalind Franklin may have been a high intelligence autistic, and that explained why she did not deal well with potential collaborators. He said that ex-Harvard president Laurence Summers' comments about why fewer women become professional scientists or engineers was right, and that Summers' only mistake was apologizing.
This unabashed lack of political correctness got a mixed reception at Google, which has a large and growing number of respected and brilliant women scientists and engineers. While the data was not questioned, the conclusions drawn came up for discussion several times during the short question and answer period that followed the talk.
Watson also talked briefly about his involvement with the Human Genome project, and Craig Venter's shotgun approach to sequencing, which won out over the approach Watson and others originally planned for the project. He said that they had thought the shotgun approach would not be able to handle the large areas of repeats in the code, but that recent advances in computer software and hardware is making that problem less of an issue.
All in all, a surprisingly eye-opening look at a scientific icon.


Friends, have you ever questioned, "Why I was born? What am I doing here for? What is my purpose?"
Sometimes these questions arise when our lives appear barren and bleak. Sometimes they arise when we are seeking to know and to understand ourselves. The answer comes. "To this end have I been born, and to the end am I come into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth."
We bear witness to truth by first respecting our minds , our bodies, our spirits to God's creation and treating them as such, Next we go forward in Faith as his intelligence within us directs us.
We use the strength of our bodies and know our bodies are always renewed by His life. We share wisely and lovingly our substance realizing it unlimited and increases in doing good. This is my purpose. "To be our witness unto the truth by being the most productive person it is possible for us to be."


He called our bluff. NOW what do we do?
Ah, our fine panicking friend. When the bluffee bluffs the bluffer, then raise the bluff.
One word to solve our dilemma: Draco.
You might want to give Harry a head's up. The word about the NQM next Thursday has gotten out to the media.
And, apparently the betting for the Golden Snitches have gotten really ridiculous. There isn't a wizarding pool to TOP the highest winning prize for this one!
Err. So, how about giving your family a tip in what to bet? Think of it as investing in the betterment of Weasley Lifestyles everywhere.
Harry, great prat he is, went public with the size and weight of the Snitches. Ginny's gone catatonic as a result, and let me tell you, the smile on her face is frightening. We're still trying to pry the measuring tape from her hands.
Some support, if you don't mind, would be very appreciated. Because of hte idiot-duo-from-Hell, I have to go streaking how there all exposd, adn YOU are all worried bout making money off my humilition?
You're all too kind. I've already got a week's worth of detention from McGonagall. And I won't even MENTION the lecture I got.
By the way, Ron. I went and saw Ginny. She's fine now.
Mate, I really do understand where you're coming from. Fred and George really have stuck their foot in it this time.
Listen, talk to Hermione about this situation. No, not about the starkers part, but how to get around the humiliation of it all. You can't go out there with robes (or clothes) on. I get that. But, surely there's a way around the utter exposure... I'm thinking there must be a charm of obscurity you could use.
Oh, and Harry? You're letting all of this stress you too much. Your command of the English language is slipping away.
P.S. Remember, it can't be worse than dodging a clutching dragon!
You're kidding? Anti-charm wards? Tell me it's a joke. Please. You're my best friend, surely YOU can think of a way around this?
I'm glad you're feeling better. I was really worried about you. However, having said that, I'm a little concerned about that idea you had.
I read the note you gave me in the Great Hall and compiled a list of possibilities to go wrong in Arithmancy. The consequences, you understand, are dire. If this doesn't work, Ron will hate me and Harry will never forgive me!
Oh, and btw, you should warn your brothers that McGonagall is now setting up anti-magic charms to ward off any potions, lotions or enhancement charms the teams can come up with. She's deliberately targeting it on people, not brooms.
See, that's the trick. I told Harry the concealment or obscurity spell he wanted was impossible, but it's NOT! He could charm the broomstick to do it for the specific rider!
Anyway, I'm panicking over here. Are you SURE you have a scapegoat out for those blasted pictures?
Modesty runs in our family. Look, Herm, if you're asking me if I can outwit my brothers, then the answer is Bloody Hell YES!
After all, I had plenty time to come up with this plan. No worries there.
Thanks for alerting McGonagall. No one will ever find out you snitched from me. You did tell McGonagall you didn't want to be publicly acknowledged for performing your civic duty, didn't you?
P.S. D'ya think the Slytherin team is taking this Quidditch match with as much paranoia?
Bugger you two! There isn't a single bloody way out of this mess that you've caused. I may never forgive you for this, dammit! I already have your sister and most of the female residents of this damn Tower in a "HP Fan Club". I'm not daft. This is just the kind of foolishness that will get me listed in Witch Weekly AGAIN!
Do you have NO sense of shame? I had a glimmer of hope, a shining moment of sanity courtesy of Charlie. However, Hermione just broke the rotten news to me-- there are no charms or enchantments at all will work, as Dumbledore and McGonagall are setting up an anti-charm field. And I checked with Madam Hooch. I can't even 'dress' up my broom to protect my modesty.
You've gone too far, dammit!
As an experienced Captain of our Illustrious Gryffindor House Team, could you bless us, your successors, with a pearl or two of wisdom?
Just how bad is it to irritate the star Gryffindor Seeker who has defeated Voldemort twice?
Up until Harry joined the team, the last win for the Gryffindor House was with your own brother Charlie.
Harry broke a significant and brutal dry spell, bless him. More importantly, he's never lost us a game... well, unless he was in the hospital wing or unconscious at the time.
Bottom line, YOU DON'T PISS OFF THE SEEKER!
Now. There's no hope for it. I've heard from Harry, as you well know, and he's not taking this Naked Quidditch Match at all well. And truthfully, now that I've gone up in the ranks of my team, I can understand where he's coming from.
Bottom line, it's a fine mess you've put the team into. I'd be very afraid for your lives if I were you. If Harry doesn't hand you over to Voldemort personally, then the girls are going to make you WISH that he had.
And, men do NOT hug and kiss other men. It's not dignified.
Do you really think the girls are going to get us?
Our little Ollie has all grown up. We're so proud of you... cursing like that. It's just so... so... manly.
*sob* Where has our whittle captain gone? He's all big and grown and cursing now.
Oh, sod off! I've been up for the past eighteen hours with practice and press conferences, plus a game. You two twats are enough to drive Dumbledore into a cursing rant.
I'm amazed you've survived this long. Though, I'm sure Katie or Angelina will be taking care of THAT issue anytime now, if Harry doesn't himself.
Best of luck, chaps. You'll need it.
After a brief discussion with our previous Gryffindor captain, we're seeking a second opinion.
How do we pacify the best Seeker our House has seen since you--our beloved older and wiser brother, and formerly Captain and Seeker of the team--left Hogwarts?
Oliver said not to piss Harry off, but well, too late! And you've seen Harry's last Mmail.
Got any advice to help us at least make it to the game?
I'm appalled to say this but--concede the game. The idiot-duo has definitely gone too far this time!
Do you know, it took me 3 hours to get into my flat yesterday. 3 hours! And that's from the curb to the front door! Women were mauling me, all wanting to play with the bigger staff.
My testicles are bruised, and I probably won't be able to have children. All because I play bloody Quidditch. If it's this bad for me playing pro-Quidditch, I realize that it'll be much worse for you. I'm just starting to get recognition in our leading sport... you're the Boy Who Lived! Besides, I saw on the WWW that they're selling a limited edition calendar of you. You may have to hire bodyguards before you leave school!
Harry, if the twins don't concede the game--RUN!
I'm given to understand you have some... plans of revenge developed. Given my own personal viewpoints regarding this upcoming match, I'm asking to be allowed to participate in your onset of revenge.
Basically: If George and Fred are going to suffer, I wish to help deliver up their suffering. Profoundly.
As I'm sure you've been informed, all charms and attempts to preserve our modesty are now forbidden. I believe there is some internal... efforts in ensuring that we're as exposed as possible. Heaven knows, my bloody "fan club" is apparently preparing to market "The Naked Truth: Harry Potter Exposed" as a 2002/2003 academic calendar.
To put things mildly, I'm going to become an alcoholic if things don't get under control soon.
And it's all Fred & George's fault. I'm within an inch of calling up ol' Tom and joining forces.
I just checked our WWW orders for the calendar, and we're sold out already! It's been listed for barely one week and we're sold out of 50,000 units!
Maybe we should arrange to run another 50,000... I've requests for the calendar to be licensed and marketed retail.

Same day teeth dental implants provide great solutions for missing teeth, without the need for a long waiting period for the dental implants to actually be placed – and for the teeth restorations to serve the form and function of the teeth that are lost. The material used for the teeth restorations can have a huge impact on the success of the whole same day teeth dental implants system in the long run, so Life Dental Implants London will give you the information you need to know about a metal acrylic bridge – to empower you with the knowledge to make the best decision regarding your tooth restorations.
An acrylic bridge is usually attached to the same day teeth dental implants; these acrylic bridges provide the aesthetics and function that will be needed to replace those of teeth that are lost. This bridge is often regarded as provisional. Therefore, patients prefer to have this acrylic bridge to be replaced with a stronger metal acrylic bridge after the surgery has stabilised. The metal acrylic bridge can be created with metal alloys (such as chrome cobalt alloy or gold alloy), and are commonly used in areas of the mouth that are not too visible – such as the back teeth area – because the metal parts may not be very aesthetically pleasing. These metal acrylic bridges, however, can be mixed with acrylic or porcelain to achieve better aesthetics, resulting in a dental bridge that is strong and attractive to look at.
For those patients that wish, definitive bridges can be consructed from metal ceramic or all ceramic Zirconia frameworks where the additional costs are not an issue.
Life Dental Implants in London believes that you, as a patient, deserve to have all the information you need to be able to make great choices when it comes to your same day teeth dental implants treatment. The information regarding the dental bridge material can greatly help you in your preference, so you can fully enjoy your same day teeth dental implants with the biggest and brightest of smiles.
