IEC produces a diverse array of exhibits that are displayed around the world, so we were excited when they asked us to capture their chronicle of Real Madrid's impressive soccer history!
We filmed their opening night of the exhibit at Melbourne Museum and put together a TVC for broadcast as well as a Sizzle reel.
We created both a 30-second and 15-second television commercial cut, as well as the three and a half minute sizzle reel to help market the exhibit to other countries that may be interested in hosting the Real Madrid World of Football Experience.
Capturing the size and scope of this exhibit was a lot of fun, and IEC did a great job with the layout and design which really shone through in the footage!


What does a young man in love do when the one meant for him does not share his feeling?
Call the scam artist Celestina, of course! At least that is what Calisto, the hero of 'La Celestina,' does.
'La Celestina,' which runs from Nov. 9-11 and Nov. 16-18 at the Claire Trevor Theatre, follows the love story of Calisto (Jeff Parker) and Malibrea (Rachel Grate). The catch is that these two have very little to do with their own love story; rather, it is pushed along and made possible by not only Celestina, but also the hilarious antics of the servants.
UC Irvine professor Keith Fowler's adaptation of 'La Celestina' shows signs of brilliance, but when put together, falls short of greatness.
Although very entertaining in parts, the play drags on for long periods at a time. At many points of the show I found myself in awe of the beautiful set design and costumes and not paying attention to what the actors were saying.
Another beautiful aspect of the show was the dance sequence during the finale of Act 1. A standing ovation should be given to dance captain Marissa Moses.
When Celestina is not on stage, the show is carried by the three servants Parmeno, Sempronio and Lucrecia, played by Nathan C. Crocker, Evans Jarnefeldt and Denver Vaughn respectively.

InBetweeners: The Unbreakable Bonds Behind Justin Bieber's Favorite NFT
Bieber Bear (Courtesy of InBetweeners)
The story of how Gianpiero D'Alessandro and Pasquale D'Avino turned InBetweeners into a global NFT sensation in a matter of weeks thanks to a special Bieber boost
When Gianpiero D'Alessandro was a boy, his grandmother gave him a blue teddy bear. "This is your new friend," she told him. "He will love you." The now-30-year-old Italian artist remembers it vividly as a truly happy moment. He identifies it as the origin of a lifelong adoration for teddy bears and the sense of security they represent.
But Gianpiero could have never predicted that he would one day bond over teddy bears with Justin Bieber.
After drawing a cartoon of Bieber with his wife, Hailey, and dog, Oscar, and posting it to Instagram in March 2019, Gianpiero received a DM. "Hey, can you send me your number?" Bieber wrote. "Wanna talk about doing some stuff with ya."
A post shared by GP (@gianpiero)
Bieber and longtime friend Ryan Good wanted to involve Gianpiero in Drew House, the streetwear clothing brand they had co-founded and launched at the top of that year — and where he is now the resident cartoon designer. The first of 70 illustrations that Gianpiero presented them was of a brown teddy bear named Theodore, sporting a signature purple button nose and a yellow Drew mascot t-shirt.
Looking back, Theodore was essentially (and unintentionally) the OG "InBetweener" bear.
InBetweeners is the NFT community crafted by Gianpiero alongside Pasquale "Pavi" V. D'Avino, his childhood friend who serves as CEO. The collection debuted on OpenSea in mid-December, and within a week, all InBetweeners were minted.
Bieber was among the first.
Just shy of two months into its existence, InBetweeners has driven $18.6 million in transactions. The collection features 5,700 owners, with a floor price of 0.54 ETH (about $1,555 as of this writing).
"The minting really surprised me because it was so, so quick, and the fact that people that will probably never buy a $1,500 canvas or painting in our gallery were really happy to buy a JPEG," Pavi tells Boardroom.
"A lifetime would not be enough for an artist to be able to sell (in this case) 10,777 works," adds Gianpiero, officially titled as the InBetweeners founder and art director. "This obviously allowed me to spread my art with many more people. The media machine has been activated in a very powerful way."
But more importantly, the simple comfort provided by squeezing a teddy bear is now a digital safety blanket stretching from Naples, Italy, across the world.
InBetweeners art director and founder Gianpiero D'Alessandro
Gianpiero and Pavi grew up together in the small Italian village of Sant'Anastasia, located near Naples and within the Vesuvius National Park at the base of Monte Somma.
"I honestly don't remember when we met for the first time," Pavi admits, "but when you are a kid or teenager, it was so easy to have the possibility [of] new friends, especially in our small hometown. Only 20,000 people, so it was easy to meet up, and from that day, we became quick friends — even if we are completely different people."
Creativity was, and still is, their common ground.
InBetweeners CEO Pasquale "Pavi" V. D'Avino
Prior to joining forces for InBetweeners, the two collaborated on Pavi's streetwear fashion brand Throwback., which earned Pavi a spot on Forbes Italia's 2021 "30 Under 30" list, though he credits Gianpiero as "an integral part of TB with whom I developed the idea from Day 0."
So, when the concept for InBetweeners first started to take shape last fall, Gianpiero and Pavi had no hesitation in pushing forward. Prior to that, they had heard rumblings about NFTs and the metaverse, and they were a little skeptical only because they hadn't yet done the proper research to understand it. The COVID-19 lockdown allowed them time to sit still and think through how they could best enter the space.
"As an entrepreneur, the only thing I always have is intuition," notes Pavi. "[Launching an NFT collection] was not planned at all. It was just, somebody told us it could be a nice possibility, and we had the intuition to [think], OK, we need to do this now. We worked so quickly."

Adds Gianpiero: "Projects of this size require an enormous amount of effort. This project is also the result of my years of work and my public relations. People think it's easy to do things like this. People take many things for granted. We did not sleep for 40 days to finalize this project."
The finished collection features thousands of unique characteristics, from camouflage and cloud skins to gold-plated grills and hockey masks. The rare one-of-one special edition InBetweener bears are inspired by Gianpiero's adolescent idols: 2Pac, Batman, Bob Marley, Kobe Bryant, Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi, Mike Tyson, Spider-Man, and more.
On Dec. 15, their intuition — and countless hours of work — paid off with an instantly sold-out first drop.
The Bieber Bump
As soon as Gianpiero had his InBetweeners team and all of the necessary assets in place, he called Bieber. They had developed a friendship and mutual admiration for each other's works since Bieber sent that DM in early 2019, and they met in the flesh during Gianpiero's trip to Los Angeles in January 2020. Drew House aside, Gianpiero provided artwork surrounding the rollout of Bieber's February 2020 album Changes.
Involving Bieber in InBetweeners, or at least trying to, was a no-brainer.
"I asked him what he thought, and if he wanted to be part of this project," Gianpiero recalls. "He was immediately very happy to support my new adventure."
"First of all, [Bieber] loves GP's art," Pavi says, noting Bieber is not an investor in the project but "decided to support publicly and to spread as much as possible."
"He shares our same meaning for the bears," he continues. "He believed so much in the project, but most of all, the message we are developing with it."
That message is universally relevant. As Pavi explains:
"InBetweeners, for us, can have so many meanings. In a certain way, InBetweeners is for all people who sometimes do not feel comfortable staying on the right side or the left side — just in the middle. They do not find their right place in the world.
"I see an InBetweener as somebody who is always in the middle for something else — a bridge for creativity and a bridge to spread positivity. InBetweeners, for us and in terms of the project, is more to spread positivity and make people think that they are not alone. To spread the message that there is always some shoulder for these people in the middle to lean on, and to create a community made of these positive vibes."
A post shared by Justin Bieber (@justinbieber)
Bieber has remained involved through FaceTime brainstorm sessions with Gianpiero and Pavi — contributing to the Roadmap and constantly posting new bears to his Instagram, where he is the 10th-most followed person at 220 million. He also has the InBetweeners Instagram account tagged in his bio.
Close friends of Biebers and members of his tight-knit team have nearly all jumped on the bandwagon. Other stars across entertainment industries have followed Bieber's lead in falling in love with InBetweener bears, including Bun B, Romeo Beckham, Rudy Gobert, SteveWillDoIt, and Kyle Forgeard.
Right on cue, Tom Holland — Spider-Man himself — couldn't help but cop the "Spider Bear":
Snoop Dogg said the "2Pac Bear" was "dope." International footballers Dele Alli and Kyle Walker-Peters are official holders as well:
A post shared by inBetweeners NFT (@inbetweenersnft)
And of course, Gianpiero had to make a "Bieber Bear" to honor whom Pavi calls "definitely our most important holder and ambassador of the project."
Bieber finally took the stage for opening night of his long-awaited, twice-delayed Justice World Tour at San Diego's Pechanga Arena on Friday night, Feb. 18, and Gianpiero and Pavi were there as personal guests and VIPs to support him. Gianpiero and Pavi, like everyone in the crowd of 16,000-plus, have long been fans of the record-breaking, era-defining musician.
Now, though, the trio has become an unlikely (but true) set of peers.
Spending time together at Bieber's first of 90-plus tour stops is only one example of what has been (and will be) numerous ways InBetweeners harnesses the power of the virtual to bring people together in the physical world.
InBetweeners IRL
As ubiquitous as InBetweeners has become online, the community has mobilized in the real world at an equally impressive pace.
In late December, this InBetweeners truck invaded Times Square in the heart of New York City. After yet another FaceTime call with Bieber in January, which Gianpiero posted about, a movement of holders making their bears the background on their Apple Watches came to spread like wildfire.
Days later, the holder of Bear #4607 put up a billboard in Toronto.
Holders have even begun painting their own bears — or simply favorite bears from the collection in general, including the "GianPiero Bear"—on canvases.
"It is wonderful to be able to see how much happiness an 'image' can give," Gianpiero says. "Seeing people from all over the world join this community makes me very happy."
But it doesn't stop there. Aided by Pavi's proven entrepreneurial success in fashion and his goal to establish InBetweeners as a brand with an equally vibrant presence offline, the next move is InBetweeners clothing. Other merch will eventually follow, expanding into "gadgets, toys, and probably food." The Roadmap promises 100 randomly selected holders to receive signed printed canvases from Gianpiero, plus exclusive access to an InBetweeners art show in Los Angeles at some point this year.
But however InBetweeners evolves far beyond NFTs in the years to come, fostering a strong community will remain at the center of it all.
Gianpiero's blue teddy bear became his new friend as soon as his grandmother gave it to him, and that sort of innocence will always fuel InBetweeners.
"It is the task of art, the task of the emotions one feels in following an ideal," says Gianpiero, describing why InBetweeners has resonated so deeply and vastly. "It is as if many people from all over the world become one family. For me, this is a beautiful thing. I have created a safe space for people."

Nashville Predators Acquire TJ Brennan From Florida
Nashville, Tenn. – Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has acquired defenseman TJ Brennan from the Florida Panthers in exchange for forward Bobby Butler.
Brennan, 24 (4/3/89), split the 2012-13 season between the Buffalo and Florida organizations, posting 10 points (3g-7a) in 29 games with the Sabres and Panthers, and 35 points (14g-21a) in 36 games with Rochester (AHL). The 6-0, 203-pound native of Willingboro, N.J., has 40 NHL games (4g-7a-11pts) and 225 AHL games (51g-76a-127pts) to his credit since turning pro for the 2009-10 campaign. In 2011-12, he tied for the AHL defensemen lead in goals (16).
Buffalo's first selection, 31st overall (second round), in the 2007 Entry Draft played three seasons in the QMJHL with St. John's and Montreal from 2006-07, totaling 116 points (37g-79a) in 192 games and earning league rookie of the year honors in 2007.


Just because I'm not a football fan (oh the shame!) doesn't mean I can't offer you something yummy to nosh on during this year's big game.
Just throw meat and all into a big bowl, dive in with both hands (properly washed of course) and squish all of those aromatic ingredients together.
Serve warm with some tzatziki for dipping and a side salad.
An icy crisp beer rounds off the presentaion.
In a small bowl mix beaten eggs, panko and lemon juice and allow to sit for a few minutes.
Add the egg mixture with the remaining ingredients.
With clean hands mix all together.
Cook in a saute pan in batches until browned or bake in a 400 ° F oven for about 15 minutes.
Place all the ingredients into a small jar and shake vigorously.

Flash: An Unsung Hero by Guest Author Cluedrew
To many people Flash may just be an annoying internet thing-a-ma-bob that updates frequently. But for a time it was the root of one of the largest and most open gaming communities in existence. And I was a part of that. Admittedly, my part was primarily as an observer, but that was enough for Flash to leave a significant mark on my gaming history. There is a huge collection of games I look back upon fondly. You will not find much in the way of beautifully rendered 3D graphics or epic open worlds, but there are other treasures to be found.
Flash is a browser plugin that allows websites to display animations and games. Well before the modern indie game scene got started, hobbyists produced hundreds of games that you can still find scattered across the web. Most were made by a few people in their spare time and most were completely free, so you got plenty of weird idea-focused arcade experiences, puzzle games with a twist, smaller adventure and a lot of art games.
Now Flash is going away. It had a good run all things said – a run that was a quarter century long – but it is definitely getting into its twilight years now. For one last bit of praise from an unremarkable fan: here is what I have to say about Flash.
About Flash
Before getting into the games, I would like to talk about Flash itself. I had to look up things about the early days. Flash was created in 1995 by FutureWave and was called FutureSplash Animator at the time. It changed owners and names over the next decade. By the time I became aware of it its purpose had shifted from a simple animation tool to a platform for web games.
Flash is the editor, player and browser plugin for .swf (Shockwave Flash) files. You can use it to create games, play them locally on your computer, or in your browser. And most browsers come – or rather came – packaged with it. In the early days Flash gained popularity because the files were small and downloaded quickly. Then people found it was surprisingly good at making games and, as they say, they rest is history. Flash will soon truly be history as many browsers have declared they are going to get rid of it by the end of 2020.
Over the years, however, a lot of games were created. Many of these games were collected on Flash game sites. I got my start on Miniclip but probably spent the most time on Armor Games. Newgrounds was probably the largest site and Kongregate has possibly held up the best as the years have gone by. I also want to mention Nitrome, a game studio that created their own site and produced over 100 solid games on their own.
These collections are huge! Of the ones I have mentioned, Nitrome's is the smallest by an order of magnitude or so. The bar to entry was very low to non-existent and the more popular ones had a lot people submitting to them, so the collections soon had hundreds or thousands of games. Sorting through them to find the ones you liked could be a bit of a challenge. In fact if it I ever get a bit vague it's probably because I am talking about a game I haven't been able to dig up again and so I am working on memories from many years ago. On the other hand, if you were in an exploratory mood, it was great. Try a game and, if you liked it, then you could keep on playing; otherwise just move onto the next one. Playing Flash games could very much be about the exploration as much as playing any particular game.
Flash has had detractors for a long time. Some were concerned about the wide use of a proprietary format. Others argued it should just be included in HTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language), which did eventually expand to cover many of the things Flash does. But the thing that really killed it was the security risk.
Speaking of which, don't run Flash games from un-trusted sources. It is not at all secure so people can slip in pretty much any virus or malware into a Flash application if they want to and are willing to put in the time. On one hand, the community is largely in the clear and this seemed to never happen. On the other hand, it continues to be a worry for users and the browsers which all depend on having a reputation for security.
Despite all that, Flash still held on for quite a long time. Even as people declared it dead, it kept going, supported by the weight of existing content and grassroots developers still producing new content. Even with browsers proclaiming they are taking it out soon, new Flash games came out this year, such as the long-awaited Epic Battle Fantasy 5. That is where we are today: support is fading but there are huge archives and a small but dedicated community. In the rest of this article I will mostly be talking about all those games in the huge archives.

This single book is renowned globally as the most thorough explanation of all Universal Law set in motion by the Creator. Raymond Holliwell explains how our inner thoughts represent our real motives and desires and how those very thoughts create ideals, principles and ruling desires that cause action in each of our lives. Ultimately, then, it is our thought that determines our destiny as it is our thought, alone, that either works with or against the Laws of Nature.
Working With the Law - There is a marvelous inner world that exists within man, and the revelation of such a world enables man to do, to attain, and to achieve anything he desires within the bounds or limits of nature.
Law of Thinking - The mind force is creating continually like fertile soil. Nature does not differentiate between the seed of a weed and that of a flower. She produces and causes both seeds to grow. The same energy is used for both and so it is with the mind. The mind creates either good or bad. Your ideas determine which is to be created.
Law of Supply - Man possesses the whole world and all its wealth, yet is only able to enjoy what his consciousness permits him to discern. The thing we dare not do is fret and worry about supply or about where our next dollar is coming from.
Law of Attraction - Never expect a thing you do not want, and never desire a thing you do not expect. When you expect something you do not want, you attract the undesirable, and when you desire a thing that is not expected, you simply dissipate valuable mental force. On the other hand, when you constantly expect that which you persistently desire, your ability to attract becomes irresistible.
Law of Receiving - Many try to work the Law backwards and for that reason get little or no results. They say to themselves, "Well, after I get, then I will give." If you wish any good thing, you must first give some good to build upon.
Law of Increase - In using this Law, we stimulate our good and bring about much for our pleasure and happiness that seems like magic or miracles. This understanding is the act of praising God, the Law, for that which we desire, and invariably the fulfillment of that desire is speeded up to almost magic proportion.
Law of Compensation - If you are not succeeding, if you lack any good thing, look more closely to the cause. It is not outside; it is somewhere within. See where you fail in your consciousness to think rightly. There are three points common in everyday life where one may fall into a snare and a delusion.
Law of Non-Resistance - This Law does not require us to work over or against the things we do NOT want, but it does require us to work with and for that which we DO want. Remember, it is not the movement of a machine that wears it beyond use and service, it is FRICTION. Friction is opposition and resistance.
Law of Forgiveness - We must forgive, forsake and forget that thought or person or condition which prompted the resentment. IT means to abandon or let go of the thing you ought not to do. To abandon or release the wrong thoughts or idea is to be absolved and liberated from its effects.
Law of Sacrifice - No one can attain his ambitions until he learns to discipline his mental force and is able to control his thinking. We are sacrificing every day of our lives whether we want to or not, whether we know it or not.
Law of Obedience - Whatever Law you obey will, in turn, serve you. The most important thing, then, is to know what to obey.
Law of Success - Man is made for progress. Every man contains within himself the capacity for endless development. If we think supply depends upon people or material conditions and then are worried, conditions go from bad to worse. Half our failures, then, are that we pull in at the moment when we should let all our forces out to have full vent as we make a leap.

What you need to know about the history of acrylic emulsions
To commemorate the impact of acrylic emulsion technology on human society, the American Chemical Society (ACS) designated "acrylic emulsion technology" as the national history of the United States on 2008 9 month 15 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Chemical landmark.
As early as the 20 century 30, industrial production of acrylic acid series compounds began.
Acrylic emulsions have distinct advantages. One of the main features is the high molecular weight of emulsion polymerization, which is close to 100 million. Because of this, as the water evaporates, the polymer coalesces into a tough acrylic film. In addition, for creative chemists, emulsion polymers provide many "chips" to optimize performance. These include main chain composition, molecular weight, functional monomer, morphology and surface chemistry.
Another important advantage: they are environmentally friendly. The solvent-based coating component is replaced, so its water-based, environmentally friendly, non-flammable properties reduce harmful emissions and improve worker safety.
Chemists, with guts, tenacity and wisdom for innovative chemistry. Today, from plastic to paint, technology has changed the human world! In 1978 years, acrylic emulsions have basically replaced oil-based exterior wall coatings in the United States. To this day, acrylic emulsion products are commonly used in the construction, automotive, packaging and textile industries.

The U.S. food industry has experienced myriad breaches in food safety resulting in food alerts and recalls over the past several years, which have injured or killed consumers and cost retailers, manufacturers and growers millions of dollars.
While the out-of-pocket losses are considerable, food safety breaches and recalls cost everyone in the food chain dearly. And there are other irreparable damages –– the decline or loss of brand image and the loss of consumer trust. The focus on U.S. food safety regulation and systems improvement, as well as the lightning speed of communication in the digital and social-media age brings food poisoning news to consumers in real time, allowing manufacturers and retailers little time to prepare public relations responses.
Other issues driving U.S. retailers and manufacturers to focus more on food safety is the increasing complexity of the global supply chain and the large number of products that are sourced from high risk areas such as China, India and Latin America.
Store brands retailers today are keenly focused on food safety, and manufacturer testing and certification. In fact, an industry survey conducted by the Consumer Goods Forum (CIES) in 2007 and again in 2009 found that food safety moved up from the number seven slot to number two in importance among retailers and manufacturers.
Competition also is spurring retailers to be more proactive. In early 2008, Walmart became the first U.S. grocer to adopt Global Food Safety Initiative (GSFI) standards, requiring private label suppliers and select food products companies to comply with standards above FDA or USDA requirements. GFSI requires food suppliers to achieve factory audit certification against one of its recognized standards, which include International Food Standard (IFS) or an equivalent such as Global-GAP, Safe Quality Food (SQF) or British Retail Consortium (BRC).
Then, in the summer of 2009 Target notified all of its store brand suppliers that it required them to become GFSI certified by the end of 2010. When market leaders such as Walmart and Target take action, others follow. More and more U.S. retailers –– such as Supervalu, Publix, Food Lion, Loblaws, Wegmans and others –– have committed to GFSI as well.
While the certification and training process can be somewhat costly and painstaking for both manufacturers and retailers, the good news is that the disciplines yield positive business results, according to a new study conducted by the University of Rostock in Germany. Food processing companies with IFS certification realize dramatic reductions in food recalls, error/defect rates, customer complaints/claims and regulatory issues, according to the research.
Furthermore, a majority of companies realized sales improvement. In fact, 55 percent saw up to a 10 percent increase in sales; another 14 percent experienced a 10 to 20 percent sales increase.
Approximately one in five survey participants (22.3 percent) are classified as fruit and vegetable manufacturers and/or processors. Meat producers and processors represented 10 percent of respondents, dried goods 10.9 percent and sweets 10.5 percent. More than one quarter of those surveyed (26.4 percent) are or were also certified under more than one GFSI benchmarked certification. One third still work under a management system certified under ISO 9001, and only 5.4 percent report an established management system under ISO 22000. The environmental management system is managed according to ISO 14001 in 6.3 percent of respondents.
Food safety and certification is a business imperative for manufacturers and processors. If the University of Rostock research is not compelling enough, retailers and manufacturers should consider their most important customer — the consumer, whose confidence in the U.S. food supply chain is shaken.
"Over the past several years, nationwide food safety alerts or recalls involving spinach, beef, peanut butter, chili sauce, tomatoes, peppers, peanut products and pistachios have exposed weaknesses in our food safety net and diminished consumer confidence in the safety and security of the food supply," the Grocery Manufacturers of America (GMA) wrote in its 2009 white paper on supply chain initiatives to improve food safety titled "Prevention, Partnership and Planning." The food safety alert and recalls highlight the need to modernize and strengthen the country's food safety system, according to GMA.
"Food manufacturers are ultimately responsible for providing consumers with safe products and for ensuring that those products meet all applicable standards. However, accredited third party certification bodies can play a critical role in efforts to continually improve the safety of our food supplies," GMA wrote.
Consumer confidence in food safety remains fragile, according to research conducted in 2009 by the Food Marketing Institute. A majority of shoppers (72 percent) said they are "somewhat" confident in the safety of food in U.S. supermarkets versus 11 percent who said they are "very confident." The report also found that nearly one third (31 percent) of consumers stopped purchasing a food product because of safety concerns.
"The USDA and FDA are entrusted to protect the American public from unsafe food and the accompanying illnesses and death. In recent years, that trust appears to have eroded," according to the Food Industry Center at the University of Minnesota. Food recalls increased 135 percent from 240 to 565 between 2006 and 2008, according to the 2009 Food Industry Report.
Confirmed laboratory cases of foodborne illnesses reported by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) increased 46 percent between 2000 and 2008, while the number of cases per 100,000 population went up 21 percent from 33 to 40, according to CDC data quoted by the University of Minnesota.
While increased government regulation and inspection may help improve food safety, the best course of action for the food industry is self-monitoring and vigilance.
Food processing companies should consider all of their certification options to ensure they're choosing what's right for their organizations. Though third-party certification is not a one-stop shop for the elimination of food safety challenges, the IFS Standard provides a strong basis for prevention and continuous improvement.
The results of the University of Rostock study confirm significant cost savings on many levels through the implementation of the IFS Food Safety and Quality Standard.
IFS is an umbrella brand for globally recognized standards in food, logistics, household and personal care, broker, and cash-andcarry/wholesale developed by the associated members of the German retail federation, hauptverband des Deutschen einzelhandels (hDe), and of its French counterpart, Fédération des entreprises du Commerce et de la Distribution (FCD), along with input from retailers in italy, Switzerland, poland, Spain, and austria. IFS Food is a global uniform quality assurance and food safety standard accepted under the Global Food Safety initiative (GFSI).

CD Review: Tedeschi And Trucks Team Up For "Revelator"
The husband and wife team of Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks are releasing their debut album "Revelator" as the Tedeschi Trucks Band. Singer/guitarist Susan Tedeschi has been touring along with her husband Derek Trucks as part of The Allman Brothers Band as well as with Trucks' solo band for the last few years. This combination seems like the most logical step in the career of these two outstanding performers. The duo also bring along an 11-piece band that includes members of The Allman Brothers Band and The Derek Trucks Band.
The album leads off with the electric blues of "Come See About Me" which finds the perfect balance of Tedeschi's powerful vocals and Trucks' slide guitar work. The song also features the smooth keyboard work of Trucks' bandmate Kofi Burbridge. Susan Tedeschi pulls off here best Janis Joplin impression on "Don't Let Me Slide" before Trucks' guitar powers the song to its finish. The band get their R&B groove on with the praising gospel sounds of "Bound For Glory". The slow, quiet blues of "Until You Remember" becomes the perfect opportunity for Tedeschi to show off her vocal abilities, which she does with ease. The mellow sound of "These Walls" finds the band experimenting by including the Indian sitar into the slow blues. The full-power of the band is felt in "Learn How To Love" as Trucks' guitar guides the way. The album closes with "Shelter" which is a slow-building blues song, similar to their live performances.
The Tedeschi Trucks Band have a full summer schedule of dates, including the Gathering of the Vibes festival in Bridgeport, CT on July 22. Check out the band's website, tedeschitrucksband.com for a complete list of tour dates as well as free downloads from the new album.

Carl Sagan would have turned 75 years old today.
CARL SAGAN was the David Duncan Professor of Astronomy and Space Sciences and Director of the Laboratory for Planetary Studies at Cornell University. He played a leading role in the American space program since its inception. He was a consultant and adviser to NASA since the 1950's, briefed the Apollo astronauts before their flights to the Moon, and was an experimenter on the Mariner, Viking, Voyager, and Galileo expeditions to the planets. He helped solve the mysteries of the high temperatures of Venus (answer: massive greenhouse effect), the seasonal changes on Mars (answer: windblown dust), and the reddish haze of Titan (answer: complex organic molecules).
For his work, Dr. Sagan received the NASA medals for Exceptional Scientific Achievement and (twice) for Distinguished Public Service, as well as the NASA Apollo Achievement Award. Asteroid 2709 Sagan is named after him. He was also awarded the John F. Kennedy Astronautics Award of the American Astronautical Society, the Explorers Club 75th Anniversary Award, the Konstantin Tsiolkovsky Medal of the Soviet Cosmonauts Federation, and the Masursky Award of the American Astronomical Society, ("for his extraordinary contributions to the development of planetary science…As a scientist trained in both astronomy and biology, Dr. Sagan has made seminal contributions to the study of planetary atmospheres, planetary surfaces, the history of the Earth, and exobiology. Many of the most productive planetary scientists working today are his present and former students and associates").
He was also a recipient of the Public Welfare Medal, the highest award of the National Academy of Sciences (for "distinguished contributions in the application of science to the public welfare…Carl Sagan has been enormously successful in communicating the wonder and importance of science. His ability to capture the imagination of millions and to explain difficult concepts in understandable terms is a magnificent achievement").
Dr. Sagan was elected Chairman of the Division of Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society, President of the Planetology Section of the American Geophysical Union, and Chairman of the Astronomy Section of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. For twelve years he was the editor-in-chief of Icarus, the leading professional journal devoted to planetary research. He was cofounder and President of the Planetary Society, a 100,000-member organization that is the largest space-interest group in the world; and Distinguished Visiting Scientist, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology.
A Pulitzer Prize winner for the book The Dragons of Eden: Speculations of the Evolution of Human Intelligence, Dr. Sagan was the author of many bestsellers, including Cosmos, which became the bestselling science book ever published in English. The accompanying Emmy and Peabody award-winning television series has been seen by a billion people in sixty countries. He received twenty-two honorary degrees from American colleges and universities for his contributions to science, literature, education, and the preservation of the environment, and many awards for his work on the long-term consequences of nuclear war and reversing the nuclear arms race. His novel, Contact, is now a major motion picture.
In their posthumous award to Dr. Sagan of their highest honor, the National Science Foundation declared that his "research transformed planetary science… his gifts to mankind were infinite."
Dr. Sagan's surviving family includes his wife and collaborator of twenty years, Ann Druyan; his children, Dorion, Jeremy, Nicholas, Sasha, and Sam; and grandchildren.
Carl Sagan's Vision of Mars
Visions of Mars is a message from our world to future human inhabitants of Mars, which launched on its way to the Red Planet in 2007 aboard the spacecraft Phoenix. Along with personal messages from leading space visionaries of our time, the message will include a priceless collection of Mars literature and art, and a list of hundreds of thousands of names of space enthusiasts from around the world. The entire collection will be encoded on a mini-DVD provided by The Planetary Society, which will be affixed to the spacecraft.
Carl Sagan recorded a message to the future Martians from near his home in Ithaca, New York, with a water fall cascading in the background. You can listen to it here.

A Reckless Proposal. A Counter Offer. The stakes are higher than either imagined.
A Reckless Rockwoods spin-off series. Look for prominent appearances by your favorite Rockwood family members as they continue to meddle in the lives of their friends.
Ophelia Templeton's dead husband, Viscount Havenstock, convinced her she was a cold, unfeeling woman incapable of passion. When her drunkard of a father loses her home to the Earl of Thornbury in a wager, Ophelia presents the man with a rash proposal. The return of her home in exchange for the challenge of teaching her to feel passion. Unfortunately, she's propositioned the wrong man.
Mathias Gilchrist has always protected the interests of his brother, the Earl of Thornbury. When Ophelia mistakes him for his brother, he thinks she's one in a long line of women eager to be a countess. Despite his initial impression, Mathias is intrigued by Ophelia, and he makes her a counter offer in the game of seduction and passion.
But when the art of pleasure becomes a dangerous game of hearts, it will take meddling by the Reckless Rockwoods to bring about a happy ending.


When we first moved in most of the rooms were filled with Dole Plantation items. Furniture, lab equipment, farm records dating back to the early 1800s. Mahalo to the Dole staff for clearing these items out so we could get started with our project.
The first thing we had done was the air conditioner install. All but one small room/storage has new AC, including the conference room. The Pineapple Crate is sure to be a cool place to be this summer. Mahalo to Chris and his team at Affordable AC for keeping us cool.
Fast! BLAZING FAST! That's all I need to say. No really, Hawaiian Telcom was a pleasure to work with. It was a simple call to place an order for high speed internet and we got such a great deal. They were very flexible with my schedule and when they came out to set it up I learned that we got a fiber line to our office. Yes I said FIBER inside our office. I believe we have the fastest speed in Whitmore! But I will let you be the judge of that. Mahalo!
While this office space was the creame of the crop for Dole Plantation we were not sure if it could handle the electical load of an updated co-working space. Chris from Electrical Innovations brought in a new/upgraded electrical service and pannel. This would help cover the requirments of the new AC and equipment in our cafe. But they did not stop there, they also installed new ballast in a all the lights and replaced the flourescent bulbs with LED bulbs. This all will amount to over 30% savigns on our electric bill. Mahalo!
You can imagine that after many years of use and a few years of sitting unused the amount of dust/dirt/grime that was built up. Sal and his crew have come in and brough a shine back to the windows, floors and walls. Not to mention they have demoed all of the old cabinets in the cafe and lab. This opened a new co-work/office space and will allow us to put more seating in the cafe. Mahalo!
There is still more work to do before we can open. Check back to see how things progress.


Dr. Tullio Simoncini deserves the highest award in medical science for his genius and medical courage in discovering and developing what might come to be seen as the single greatest medical breakthrough of the century. Simoncini makes the connection that fungal colonies and cancer colonies are the same colonies called by two different names. He is not alone in this and he is not alone with the knowledge that sodium bicarbonate is effective at wiping out fungal colonies. What he is alone with is connecting the dots between cancer, fungal, yeast infections, and sodium bicarbonate.
Some doctors have courage and others don't. Tullio obviously has more than his share and in the series of videos below one will see what he has had to go through to remain firm with his deepest medical conviction that cancer is a fungus. But even if one does not want to entertain this highly possible reality it does not change the fact that cancer tumors are pH sensitive and tend to dwell in the acidic range. Lowly baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) functions like bunker buster bombs, blasting cancer with shock waves of alkaline pH without harming the host.
Fungus and yeast invaders are tough customers, not easy to take out even with the strongest weaponry. Creatures that can live off the face of rocks are not easy to remove, yet it is possible, especially if we attack from many sides at once. Actually the trick is to kick their butts from without as well as from within (within meaning engaging and super empowering the immune system) simultaneously. We soup up the immune system while we introduce substances that make it much more difficult for cancer/yeast/fungus cells to survive.
Defining cancer as a fungus/yeast infection gives us intellectual and conceptual tools to better understand the nature of cancer, but the fact is it does not matter what we believe. Everyone can agree that cancer is a tough customer and anyone who really knows anything about it understands that late-stage infections are almost always present. The mainstream accepts that as high as 40 percent of cancers are caused by infections or accompanied by infections. In their late stages they are almost always fungal but many believe viruses trigger the process.
Most people, including professional healers, have egos, and that is especially handicapping when the healer's main goal is to help people. Helping, healing, and ego just do not go together so we really do have some serious problems in the healing arts. The truth of life and the truth in medicine in general exist well outside the sphere of egotism, thus biting down hard on medical truth does wonders in terms of ego release.
The last thing any ego wants to do is admit it's wrong, thus our egocentric minds can dance and sing for a lifetime with justifications and a whole slew of other ego defense mechanisms. Oncologists are just wonderful at playing ego games but unfortunately it's at everyone else's expense. Tomorrow I will publish about the ego of a highly uninformed doctor who is actually very famous. We will use his words to examine how ego operates—using ignorance dressed in authority with no substance behind it to attack the position of Dr. Simoncini and his work. Medical egos are famous for attacking what they don't want to even bother to understand.
Oral NaHCO3 selectively increased the pH of tumors (i.e., making them more alkaline) and reduced the formation of spontaneous metastases in mouse models of metastatic breast cancer. NaHCO3 therapy also reduced the rate of lymph node involvement and significantly reduced the formation of hepatic metastases. Acid pH was shown to increase the release of active cathepsin B, an important matrix remodeling protease.
There has been work going on at the University of Arizona using bicarbonate (baking soda) as a potential treatment for cancer. Robert J. Gillies and his colleagues have demonstrated that pre-treatment of mice with sodium bicarbonate results in the alkalinization of the area around tumors. (Raghunand 2003) This type of treatment has been found to "enhance the anti-tumor activity" of other anticancer drugs. This is very similar to the recently published research of injecting O2 directly into tumors where such direct administration of oxygen also facilitated the action of chemotherapy.
Dr. Max Gerson's book on cancer says that when cancer patients came to him he noticed that several diseases were common to his cancer patients. He stated: "I found cancer frequently combined with chronic osteoarthritis, high or low blood pressure, chronic sinus trouble, or other chronic infections…" What is significant about this list is that chronic sinusitis is caused by a fungus. Even orthodox medicine admits that. Osteoarthritis is an inflammatory disease. The foods most suspected of creating this inflammation are rich in fungi, moulds, and yeasts. Dr. Royal Rife believed that cancer was viral and that the viruses were pleomorphic, going through a series of changes, to end up as a fungus. He was reviled for it.
Special Note: In Sodium Bicarbonate – Rich Man's Poor Man's Cancer Treatment, it is stressed that baking soda should not be considered a standalone cancer treatment. It should be used in conjunction with a full protocol that includes magnesium chloride, iodine, selenium, vitamin C, THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol, medical marijuana in oil or tincture form), clay, HMD (heavy metal detox), Rejuvenate (superfood), pure water (treated with a variety of medicinals), plus a naturopathic approach to diet, intestinal cleaning, sufficient vitamin D, preferably through sun exposure, or vitamin D supplementation, rALA, glutathione, and other helpful things. One can even drink Quinton Seawater Hypertonic or Isotonic Plasma. I always recommend magnesium massage and it is the one thing we can do on a physical level that touches on emotional and even deeper levels of feeling and vulnerability. People tend to ignore these levels that I put forth quite strongly in my book Soft Medicine. In some situations I would recommend cesium chloride, and there are a few new items that I will soon be putting on my protocol list. Also I highly recommend magnesium and bicarbonate baths.


CBS ' "Five Feet Apart"
I just wrapped a CBS feature film called "Five Feet Apart" with Cole Sprouse and Haley Lu Richardson. The duo is playing cystic fibrosis patients falling in love in the same hospital, where strict rules dictate that the pair of teenagers must stay five feet apart at all times. It will be released on March 22, 2019. On a side note, Haley is incredible to work with! What a great personality she has! Always laughing, upbeat, cracking up and joking with everyone on set.
Five Feet Apart Director Justin Baldoni.


John Eames sat at his office on the day after his return to London, and answered the various letters which he had found waiting for him at his lodgings on the previous evening. To Miss Demolines he had already written from his club, a single line, which he considered to be appropriate to the mysterious necessities of the occasion. 'I will be with you at a quarter to six tomorrow. — J E. Just returned.' There was not another word; and as he scrawled it at one of the club tables while two or three other men were talking to him, he felt rather proud of his correspondence. 'It was capital fun,' he said; 'and after all'— the 'all' on this occasion being Lily Dale, and the sadness of his disappointment at Allington —'after all, let a fellow be ever so down in the mouth, a little amusement should do him good.' And he reflected further that the more a fellow be 'down in the mouth', the more good the amusement would do him. He sent off his note, therefore, with some little inward rejoicing — and a word of two also of spoken rejoicing. 'What fun women are sometimes,' he said to one of his friends — a friend with whom he was very intimate, calling him always Fred, and slapping his back, but whom he never by any chance saw out of his club.
After this fashion the note from Miss Demolines had been received, and answered at once, but the other letters remained in his pocket till he reached his office on the following morning. Sir Raffle had begged him to be there at half-past nine. This he had sworn he would not do; but he did seat himself in his room at ten minutes before ten, finding of course the whole building untenanted at that early hour — that unearthly hour, as Johnny called it himself. 'I shouldn't wonder if he really is here this morning,' Johnny said, as he entered the building, 'just that he may have the opportunity of jumping on me.' But Sir Raffle was not there, and then Johnny began to abuse Sir Raffle. 'If I ever come here early to meet him again, because he says he means to be here himself, I hope I may be — blessed.' On that especial morning it was twelve before Sir Raffle made his appearance, and Johnny avenged himself — I regret to have to tell it — by a fib. That Sir Raffle fibbed first, was no valid excuse whatever for Eames.
'I've been at it ever since six o'clock,' said Sir Raffle.
Sir Raffle was still standing with his hat on, and with his back to the fire, and his countenance was full of wrath. It was on his tongue to tell Johnny that he had better return to his former work in the outer office. He greatly wanted the comfort of a private secretary who would believe in him — or at least pretend to believe in him. There are men who, though they have not sense enough to be true, have nevertheless sense enough to know that they cannot expect to be really believed in by those who are near enough to them to know them. Sir Raffle Buffle was such a one. He would have greatly delighted in the services of someone who would trust him implicitly — of some young man who would really believe all that he said of himself and of the Chancellor of the Exchequer; but he was wise enough to perceive that no such young man was to be had; or that any such man — could such a one be found — would be absolutely useless for any purposes of work. He knew himself to be a liar whom nobody trusted. And he knew himself also to be a bully — though he could not think so low of himself as to believe that he was a bully whom nobody feared. A private secretary was at the least bound to pretend to believe in him. There is a decency in such things, and that decency John Eames did not observe. He thought that he must get rid of John Eames, in spite of certain attractions which belonged to Johnny's appearance and general manners, and social standing, and reputed wealth. But it would not be wise to punish a man on the spot for breaking an appointment which he himself had not kept, and therefore he would wait for another opportunity. 'You had better go to your own room now,' he said. 'I am engaged on a matter connected with the Treasury, in which I will not ask for your assistance.' He knew that Eames would not believe a word as to what he said about the Treasury — not even some very trifling base of truth which did exist; but the boast gave him an opportunity of putting an end to the interview after his own fashion. Then John Eames went to his own room and answered the letters which he had in his pocket.
To the club dinner he would not go. 'What's the use of paying two guineas for a dinner with fellows you see every day of your life?' he said. To Lady Glencora's he would go, and he wrote a line to his friend Dalrymple proposing that they should go together. And he would dine with his cousin Toogood in Tavistock Square. 'One meets the queerest people in the world there,' he said; 'but Tommy Toogood is such a good fellow himself!' After that he had his lunch. Then he read the paper, and before he went away he wrote a dozen or two of private notes, presenting Sir Raffle's compliments right and left, and giving in no one note a single word of information that could be of any use to any person. Having thus earned his salary by half-past four o'clock he got into a hansom cab and had himself driven to Porchester Terrace. Miss Demolines was at home, of course, and he soon found himself closeted with that interesting young woman.
'I thought you never would have come.' These were the first words she spoke.
'Upon my word I didn't know it,' said Johnny.
'It's her fevered existence,' said Johnny.
'I'm afraid there is very little that's certain with Dobbs Broughton. But about this picture, Mr Eames. I look to you to assist me there. It must be put a stop to. As to that I am determined. It must be — put a — stop to.' And as Miss Demolines repeated these last words with a tremendous emphasis she leant with both her elbows on a little table that stood between her and her visitor, and looked with all her eyes into his face. 'I do hope that you agree with me in that,' said she.
'Upon my word I do not see the harm of the picture,' said he.
'If that is true —' said Miss Demolines.
'Oh, yes; it is quite true,' said Johnny.
'I hate that girl like poison!' said Miss Demolines, confidentially, drawing herself very near to Johnny as she spoke.
'Of course not,' said Johnny.
John Eames before he left Porchester Terrace, had at last succeeded in calling his fair friend Madalina, and had promised that he would endeavour to open the artist's eyes to the folly of painting his picture in Broughton's house without Broughton's knowledge.

The most important threat that has emerged over the last four years, however, is to our democracy. Institutions of democracy have been demeaned and denigrated. Parliament has been reduced to the level of a joke. The prime minister did not even once sit down with senior leaders of the Opposition parties in Parliament when the just-concluded Budget Session was being disrupted in order to find a way out. Then he fasted to shift the blame to others. The first part of the most important Budget Session was the shortest ever. I compare this to the days of Atal Bihari Vajpayeewhen all of us were under strict instructions to accommodate the Opposition and ensure that Parliament functioned. So we had adjournment motions, no-confidence motions and other discussions under any rule the Opposition wanted.

Q: How to control a google compute engine instance of wordpress? I have used this image on GCE to build an instance of wordpress VM

After the instance is created, here is some of the data I find on the instance's web page:

I use a combination of these meta data but I am not able to login to the phpmyadmin page

What is the right way to start with a wordpress server that is setup this way?  Is there any documentation? What username/password pair in the 'Custom metadata' section is applicable to the phpmyadmin?
Edit:
Attempted login/password combinations:

*

*WORDPRESS_ADMIN_EMAIL/WORDPRESS_ADMIN_PASSWORD

*WORDPRESS_ADMIN_EMAIL/WORDPRESS_DATABASE_PASSWORD

*WORDPRESS_ADMIN_EMAIL/MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD

A: To access the wordpress database via phpmyadmin, use username wordpress_user and the password in the field WORDPRESS_DATABASE_PASSWORD
The wordpress console can be accessed via '/wp-admin'. Use WORDPRESS_ADMIN_EMAIL and WORDPRESS_ADMIN_PASSWORD to log in

More details of the wordpress setup can be found in the script /opt/c2d/wordpress-setup.sh
c2d stands for 'click to deploy'

A: As per one of the comments, if you are trying to log in phpMyAdmin to administrate the database server, you must use root / MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
Instead of looking for this information in the VM's metadata, it is easier to identify it by going to Cloud Console -> Deployment Manager -> "Your Wordpress deployment"
All the passwords and usernames are listed there in a more comprehensible view (Wordpress username/password phpMyadmin username/password).

The Plight of Iraqi Women
Author: Majid Ahmed Salih
Women in Iraqi Law
According to the General Census, women constitute 55% of the population in Iraq- roughly 29 million. But the Iraqi women do not enjoy their rights as stipulated in international documents, particularly the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, Resolution (24/180) of 1979. According to Iraqi law, women are not allowed to even get a passport without the consent of her guardian- a man! They are forced to marry and they cannot get a divorce. Many must live with three other wives in the same house under the responsibility of one man. Husbands do not allow her out of the house alone and they also must wear the hijab forcibly. Women can be murdered in the name of the man's honor if they bring him shame. Sometimes women may be killed by being stoned to death, as happened to the Iraqi girl Dua'a on the seventh of April 2007. Outside of marriage, women are turned into a commodity that can be bought and sold. However, the man to satisfy his desires may pursue a misyar marriage as a Sunni Muslim and temporary marriage if a Shia'a Muslim.
The lack of protection for women, and limiting their rights to participation in free legislative committees is a tendency of masculine legislators. The first of these violations are sexual harassment damaging women during their labor. This affects their performance and productivity, and makes them more vulnerable than others to mental disorders and health problems. Among these violations is also marital rape by forcing the wife to have intercourse without her consent and is an assault on the will of the woman and her body, which is contrary to the most basic meaning of humanity and a violation of her basic human rights. Circumcision is another flagrant physical violation of the woman's body, which is contrary to the human right to preserve the integrity of the body and an abuse that has many complications. Other problem issues for women in Iraq are abortion rights, alimony, the right to work, and fair division of maternity leave between father and mother. Finally, Iraqi women in the prisons are tortured and raped and although this has caused a debate among members of parliament, nothing has happened. Maha Al Dori league and the Minister of Justice to allow the committees to visit these prisons but this last one refused to allow this visit (Al Sharqia, 2012).
Iraqi women need access to what is called "human security" where they can exercise of their rights and enjoy protections to secure their freedom. Generally it means protecting people from acute threats and creating the conditions that allow them to control and manage their own lives. Human Security, as defined by the UNDP report of the United Nations in 1994 (United Nation, 1979) means freedom from fear and need.
So both the international community and the government of Iraq need to work for the legitimacy of women's human rights and support their on-going struggle for basic rights in Iraq. They can support this struggle by changing the Articles of the Constitution that neglect and contradict with the basic rights of women in Iraq, and which are among the most horrendous in the world. Also, the government has not allocated a budget for the Ministry of Women in Iraq and women have not received any key ministry positions, even though they have 25 percent of the seats in parliament under the quota system. So even the quota system was unable to repair and improve the situation of female.
Iraqi Women Since American Occupation of 2003
The Disastrous Effects of Widowhood and Orphanhood
Widowhood in Iraq has disastrous social consequences. Widowhood is a legacy of the policies from the previous violent regime, the wars and the terrorist acts by both the armed groups and occupied troops after the American occupation in 2003 and an outgrowth of more recent violence related to Iraqi political sectarianism. Widowhood is considered one of the main outcomes of the deteriorating and tragic social conditions in Iraq, along with the high proportion of crimes, homelessness, and disease outbreaks, and of course the general psychological stress, and the lack of access to health care faced by many Iraqi women because of the prevailing conditions and the deteriorating security situation.
Widowhood generates several psychological factors, which mostly affects on both the immediate behavior and the future options for the widow (Attofah, 2008). The widow holds the responsibility of her sons and daughters – economic, educational and social. Five international organizations operate in Iraq to address the high ratio of widows and orphans in the population, but their impact on improving the situation has been limited. Their reports warn that the current situation is likely to lead to higher instances crime, homelessness, and the spread of mental illness in Iraqi society in the years ahead.
Frightening Facts and Figures
The figures collected by me as a monitor with United Nation during the years 2005-2009 in the field on the deteriorating social conditions for women in Iraq are tragic. Between 90 to 100 Iraqi women are widowed every day, according to a study by the University of Baghdad. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Geneva transferred from the records of the Ministry of Women's Affairs of Iraq that there are 300,000 widows in Baghdad alone and another 30,000 widows in Karbala, along with an estimated 3 million widows throughout Iraq by official records; meaning that widows account for about 35% of the population of Iraq, and about 65% of women in Iraq, and about 80 percent of married women between the ages of twenty and forty, which is the age of fertility and reproduction according to World Health Organization statistics.
Moreover, World Health Organization (WHO) issued a report in April 2007 referring to 4.5 million orphans in Iraq, two million widows, and nine hundred thousand disabled children.
Iraqi woman are considered among the most battered women in the world since the years of 2006-2007. Since then, violence has hampered her ability to enjoy her rights and fundamental freedoms, including clear violations of some articles of the Constitution and violations of her basic rights under international law and human rights conventions. The decision taken by the UN Security Council that violence against women is a crime against humanity, like other crimes, and thus requires prosecution and punishment, has sparked reactions far and wide. It has raised awareness about the phenomenon of violence against women and given it an international dimension that reflects the seriousness of this ancient practice.
About 5 – 6 women are murdered in Iraq every day, and if we follow statistics from the Ministry of Health and the Medico-Legal for the months of January and February of 2006, 181 women were killed. This number escalated in the months of July and August to 377 women killed; women in all the different segments of society: activists and informants and relatives of political officials and wives of professors and wives former officers in the Iraqi army. All of this has a negative impact on women's participation in political and public life, as acknowledged by Basra's police chief, the second largest city in Iraq, south of Baghdad 500 km. He acknowledged that women in Basra are severely repressed and terrorized by a new kind of violence, not so often known before and across all ages. The criminal gangs prosecute women visually and threaten or kill any who snitch or conjecture. Official police statistics indicate that there are at least 15 women in Basra killed monthly by criminal gangs. These gangs argue the women breach moral and religious controls. These gangs roam the streets riding in cars and motorcycles, hunting the women with threats and intimidation and murder, because the do not want woman to have any status, and resent their wearing western clothes and cosmetics.
Medical Legal Institute (MLI) in the provinces of Arbil and Sulaymaniyah (Kurdistan Region) that (248) woman were killed in the first six months of 2006 and were subjected to burns as the cause of death in most cases. Detection and human rights minister in the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq for burning 97 women in the region during the 4 months of year 2007 and this phenomenon of honor killing when women have sex with someone else illegally since the Iraqi Penal Code is killing women honor a mitigating circumstance in accordance with Article (409) which provides for the punishment of those found guilty of such offenses in prison for up to three years while the amendment to this law in the Kurdistan region so counting honor killings ordinary crimes.
When I visited some of the women and men who just left the prison in Abu Ghraib, they stated that the U.S. occupying administration in Iraq regularly allowed rape, torture and cruel sadism against women detained in the prisons of their camps, and many crimes were committed and are still being committed against women in these prisons with the support and blessing of some local officials.
Kidnapping is a very real threat for women in Iraq, as they are actively sold as slaves, often in the sex industry. Slave traders exploit the misery and unemployment in Iraq under the cover of offering jobs to work as housekeepers or other "opportunities". They are then required by traders to pay large sums for their arrangements of the labor contracts in the Gulf States where they are forced to sell their bodies in hotels and nightclubs.
According to local journalists, the main destination for these women has been the United Arab Emirates, specifically Dubai. Syria is another destination for the smuggling of Iraqi women, while another monitoring group said that Kuwait is added to those ports. The security situation in Iraq makes the slave trade almost impossible to stop and that the freedom of action and movement of traders are is too easy.
Through my investigations, which have included repeated visits to a number of families and women who live under bridges or in slums or in-empty offices belongs to the state, I was able to gather some figures about their numbers and conditions and how they are dealing with the daily life activity under these tragic deteriorated circumstances, in collaboration with one of the NGOs, as follows:
Nearly 6800 families are homeless and over 5000 orphans are registered with the Informatics Central Government Bureau of Statistics and the Department of Manpower Planning of the Ministry of Planning. Furthermore, 11% of Iraqi families are headed by women and 73% of households headed by widows.
The Association of Women's Rights conducted a survey of displaced families and people living on the streets in 12 provinces (excluding the Kurdistan region) during the period from January to August 2007. Among the participants in the survey, totaling 3572 people, 72% are women, mostly widows. An acknowledged 9% of them moved to prostitution while 17% reported that they turned to exploration in the garbage bins for some food for themselves and their children, particularly in Baghdad. In 2010, a study conducted by the Ministry of Planning suggests that more than half of the widows in Iraq lost their husbands during the past five years and they are primarily responsible for child support and one-to three children. The study mentions that widows in Iraq are receiving a salary of social protection and adult which $US 100 (120 thousand Iraqi dinars) only, which does not fill their needs.
Despite the formation of a specific government Department concerned with support for widows in Iraq and the allocation of monthly salaries or employment, we have not touched any real impact on the vast number of Iraqi widows, who are suffering many additional complexities related to application reviews and the requirement to prove their need for a monthly stipend.
Displaced women who walk around in the streets with their children are vulnerable to violence, rape and murder by armed groups—foreign and domestic. They need a safe place to take shelter in it, because the streets in Iraq have become very dangerous. The image of Iraqi women, stretched outside of the market to sell something in hope bringing back food to her children, raises the sad feelings of loyal people, especially, those like me, who stand beside the women in their struggle for dignity and security.

International standard ISO 2145 defines a typographic convention for the "numbering of divisions and subdivisions in written documents". It applies to any kind of document, including manuscripts, books, journal articles, and standards.
Only Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, …) are used.
The main divisions are numbered continuously starting from 1.
Each main division (first level) can be divided further into subdivisions (second level), which are equally continuously numbered. This can be continued for further levels of subdivision.
A full stop is placed between numbers that designate subdivisions of different levels. No full stop is placed after the number that designates the final subdivision.
A number 0 (zero) can be assigned to the first division of each level if it forms an introduction, preface, foreword, or the like.
"… in chapter four …"
"… as lemma three four twenty-seven shows …"
"… the third paragraph in two four one seven …"
All standard LaTeX document classes generate chapter, section, subsection, figure, table, etc. numbers exactly as defined by ISO 2145.
As of 2003, all Microsoft Word versions are by default set up to add a full stop after the final section number. This does not conform to ISO 2145; however, users can change settings to conform to the ISO standard.

Here's a beginner's question Here are data on a gold
foil. Gold is an FCC metal with 12 neighbors in the first coordination shell at ∼ 2.9 ˚ A and 6 in the second shell at ∼ 4.1 ˚ A. The Fourier transform of these data – done with k-weight = 1 in order to emphasize the point – clearly show a split peak in the |˜ χ(R)| spectrum with peaks at about 2.5 ˚ A and 3.0 ˚ A. How can this be? 3 / 11 The Ramsauer-Townsend effect in EXAFS
Sum of sine waves Here is an overly simplified representation
of the EXAFS signal using pure, undamped sine waves. The blue wave has a frequency of 5, representing a distance of 2.5 ˚ A. The red wave has a frequency of 6, representing a distance of 3 ˚ A. The green wave is the sum of those two. This summation results in a beating pattern. 4 / 11 The Ramsauer-Townsend effect in EXAFS
The Fourier transform of the sum Here I show an
EXAFS-like, finite-range Fourier transform over 2k. The k-range was 3 ˚ A – 16 ˚ A, the window sill was 1 ˚ A, and a Kaiser-Bessel window was used. The blue and red waves have peaks at 2.5 ˚ A and 3 ˚ A, as expected. The Fourier transform of the sum, the green wave, has peaks at both 2.5 ˚ A and at 3 ˚ A. 5 / 11 The Ramsauer-Townsend effect in EXAFS
Interpreting the Au foil data Does this mean that we
actually have 2 near-neighbor distances in our gold foil? 6 / 11 The Ramsauer-Townsend effect in EXAFS
actually have 2 near-neighbor distances in our gold foil? Certainly not! 6 / 11 The Ramsauer-Townsend effect in EXAFS
The EXAFS Equation χ(k, Γ) = (NΓ S2 0 )FΓ
(k) 2 kR2 Γ sin(2kRΓ + ΦΓ (k))e−2σ2 Γ k2 e−2RΓ/λ(k) (1) χtheory (k) = Γ χ(k, Γ) RΓ = R0,Γ + ∆RΓ (2) k =N (E0 − ∆E0 ) (3) It is certainly true that we sum up terms with sin(2kRΓ ) (like in our simple, sine-wave example), however we also have the terms FΓ (k) and ΦΓ (k) in the EXAFS equation. What does FΓ (k) look like for something as heavy as Au? 7 / 11 The Ramsauer-Townsend effect in EXAFS
The scattering amplitude Here is FΓ (k). as calculated by
for the first shell Au atom in FCC gold. The minimum just above 5 ˚ A will introduce structure to the EXAFS equation that resembles the beat due to the sum of sine waves. 8 / 11 The Ramsauer-Townsend effect in EXAFS Here I am plotting columns 1 v. 3 from the file 'feff0001.dat'.
Simple model from quantum scattering theory The basic physics of
this phenomenon is related to the well-known problem of scattering from a square potential. All first-year physics graduate students have to solve the 1D problem of scattering from a square potential. In the quantum problem, there is a large tunneling probability at certain enegies (wavelengths). At the minimum in FΓ (k), we are seeing tranmission of the photoelectron through the scatterer. 9 / 11 The Ramsauer-Townsend effect in EXAFS These images from Wikimedia Commons. See the Wikipedia "Rectangular potential barrier" page
Feff's calculation of the first shell in Au accounts for
the Ramsauer-Townsend effect correctly in its calculation, enabling analysis in the same manner as for lighter elements. One moral of this story is that it is always wise to compare a calculation with your data before jumping to conclusions about the interpetation of the peaks in ˜ χ(R). ˜ χ(R) is NOT a radial distribution function! The Ramsauer-Townsend effect on FΓ (k) is among the many reasons ˜ χ(R) is NOT an RDF. 10 / 11 The Ramsauer-Townsend effect in EXAFS

B.C. Kills Mandatory Minimum Sentences for Marijuana Producers
Dave SchmaderJune 15, 2017
Aerial View of Kelowna, British Columbia
In a triumph for sanity and compassion, British Columbia has declared mandatory minimum prison sentences for cannabis producers to be unconstitutional.
The unwitting engine of this development: Keith Steven Elliott, a man in the southern B.C. city of Kelowna, who spent two years working a $20-an-hour job trimming homegrown cannabis destined for resale on the black market. When the grow-op was busted in 2013, Elliott found himself charged under Canada's Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, which mandates a six-month minimum prison sentence for anyone caught producing between six and 200 plants for the purpose of trafficking. (The grow-op employing Elliott held 195 plants.)
Outcast to Entrepreneur: Olympic Champion Ross Rebagliati's Cannabis Redemption
Elliott's path to mandatory imprisonment took a turn at his sentencing, where the sentencing judge took aim at the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act's fundamental propriety. As InfoNews reports, "The sentencing judge found [the mandatory minimum] provision unconstitutional based on a complex legal test that examines whether or not the mandatory minimum would be grossly disproportionate for hypothetical offenders."
As the sentencing judge declared in court, "I note that a six-month sentence is typical for a first-time trafficker involved in a relatively sophisticated commercial dial-a-dope operation. Imposing that sentence on a 19-year-old student or a migraine sufferer who is growing six plants intending to share them with friends would, in my view, be abhorrent to most Canadians." To avoid such abhorrence, the judge declined to send Elliott to jail, letting him go with a suspended sentence with two years of probation.
Canada to Legalize Marijuana. Here's What You Need to Know
Soon after, the Crown appealed the ruling, and the case proceeded to the B.C. Court of Appeal, which on June 9 upheld the sentencing judge's decision. "The mandatory minimum has been struck down as unconstitutional," lawyer John Conroy told InfoNews, noting the decision is binding on all B.C. courts and could be used as precedent to fight mandatory minimums in other provinces.
Potential twist: The Crown still has time to appeal the case, in which case it would proceed to the Supreme Court of Canada. Stay tuned.
