Order of The Holy Sepulchre (semi-official note of the Cardinal Chancellor of Equestrian Orders, "Osservatore Romano", 12 Feb., 1905).
Pius X decreed that the Orders of Christ and the Golden Militia should have only one, the other four orders, three grades or classes ("Multum ad excitandos"; 7 Feb., 1905); that occasionally, but very rarely, in matters of special importance and by special papal permission, a commander eminently distinguished might be allowed to wear the badge (smaller size than that of the first class) on the left breast. According to critical historians, these orders do not antedate the Crusades. After the Crusades, the kings of Europe founded and placed under the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary, or the Saints, orders of chivalry. Of these, some were intended to protect their kingdoms from the incursions of the infidel, and were in reality religious military orders; others were designed as a desirable and honourable recompense for eminent services to king and country. The lavish and indiscriminate creation of knights of the latter orders led in course of time to a loss of prestige and desire on the part of men of eminent merits to be knighted. The Roman pontiffs, in their dual capacity of spiritual and temporal rulers, either founded or approved, or remodelled and restored to their pristine glory, the six papal orders afore-mentioned.
The Supreme Order of Christ is of Portuguese origin (see ORDER OF THE KNIGHTS OF CHRIST). The papal and Portuguese order are one and the same, for a two-fold reason; the pope is the head of every religious order and can admit to solemn profession in any order without the permission of its superior general, and, further, in the Bull of approvals he reserved to himself and his successors the right to create knights of the order, a right which was exercised by the popes and recognized by the kings of Portugal. The decoration is a long red cross, bordered with a narrow gold band, whose extremities are of a trapezoidal form, surmounted by a royal crown, which, in turn, is surmounted by a military trophy attached to the ribbon. Upon the centre of the long red cross is superimposed a small, simple, white enamelled Latin cross. The white upon the red symbolizes the triumph of the Immaculate Lamb of God, by His blood, over the world of sin. Until within a few years ago, this decoration was worn suspended by a red ribbon which encircled the wearer's neck. Pope Pius X, in memory of the ancient collar composed of alternate swords and tiaras which the knights of old wore, decreed that the decoration should henceforth be worn suspended from a collar composed of shields bearing alternately the cross of the order and the papal emblems connected with golden knots. The "plaque", or badge, worn on the breast, is a silver eight-rayed star ornamented with jewels, bearing on its centre the cross of the order, which is encircled by a crown of gold oak leaves wound with a green fillet. The uniform is of a bright scarlet with facings of white cloth and rich gold embroideries on the collar, breast and cuffs (Moroni, Diz., XVIII, 216). Knee breeches of white smooth silk with gold side stripes, shoes of white silk with gold buckles, hat with white plumes and ornamented with a knot of twisted gold cord terminating in tassels of gold, and a sword with a gold ornamented mother-of-pearl hilt and pendant tassels of twisted gold cord complete this official costume (Pius X, 3 May 1905). The official dress of a professed knight of this order when it was a religious military body was white.
Knights of the Great Ribbon wear a wide ribbon extending from the left shoulder saltier-wise to the right side where from a rosette attached to the ribbon the star of the order is suspended. They also wear on the breast the large badge set with diamonds. Commanders wear the decoration at the neck. Commanders with the Badge, besides the star at the neck, wear a badge of smaller design than the large plaque on the breast, and simple knights wear the star on the left breast. The decoration is an eight-pointed blue enamelled star. The spaces between the rays are filled in with undulating golden flames. On the centre is a white enamelled medallion on which is engraved the words PIUS IX and around it, in a golden circle, are stamped in characters of blue, the motto, VIRTUTI ET MERITO. The reverse is identical with the obverse side except that the inscription ANNO 1847 is used instead of PIUS IX. There are two forms of badges. One is a large silver medal similar to the star, and the other is of the same design but larger and adorned with brilliant gems. The ribbon of the decoration is dark blue silk bordered with red. The official costume (rarely worn) is a dark blue evening dress coat closed in front by one row of gold buttons. The collar and cults and breast of the coat are covered with golden embroideries more or less elaborate, according to the grade or class of the wearer. Golden epaulettes, white trousers with gold side stripes, a bicornered hat with white plumes, complete the official dress. This order may be conferred also upon non-Catholics.
The decoration is a bifurcated or eight-pointed red enamelled gold cross, in the centre of which is a blue medallion on which is impressed in gold the image of St. Gregory, and at the side of his head near the right ear is a dove; in a circle around the image appears in golden letters "S. Gregorius Magnus". On the reverse side is the device, "Pro Deo et Principe", and in the centre around it, GREGORIUS XVI. P. M. ANNO. 1. The badge is the cross of the order surrounded with silver rays. The ribbon of the order is red with orange borders. The cross worn by a knight of the military division is surmounted by a military trophy; the cross of a knight of the civil division is surmounted by a crown of gold oak leaves. The costume of ceremony is a dress coat of dark green open in front, and covered on breast and back with embroideries in the form of oak leaves. White trousers with silver side stripes, a bicornered ornamented hat, and the usual knightly sword, complete the costume, which is rarely worn.
This was the Order of the Golden Militia under a new name. Prior to the year 1841 it was known as the Militia of the Golden Spur or Golden Militia, and though it is not historically established who among the many supposed founders is the true one, yet it undoubtedly is the oldest and, at one time, was one of the most prized of the papal orders. Faculties granted to the Sforza family (Paul III, "Hinc est quod nos", 14 Apr., 1539), to the College of Abbreviators (Leo X, Const. 14 "Summi") and to bishops assistant at the throne (Julius III, 6 Apr., 1557) to create Knights of the Golden Militia resulted in lavish bestowal and diminished prestige of the decoration. Pope Gregory XVI ("Quod hominum mentes", 31 Oct., 1841), retaining the ancient name, placed the order under the patronage of St. Sylvester (one of its alleged founders), withdrew all faculties to whom and by whomsoever given, and forbade the use of the title or the decoration to all knights created by other than by papal Brief. The better to restore it to its ancient glory and splendour, he limited the number of commanders to one hundred and fifty and knights to three hundred (for Papal States only), and appointed the Cardinal of Apostolic Briefs as Chancellor of the Order, with the duty of preserving the name, grade, number and date of admission of each knight. He divided it into two classes, commanders and knights. The former wore the large sized decoration suspended at the neck, the latter the small sized one on the left side of the breast. The decoration, according to the Gregorian Brief, was an eight-pointed gold cross with an image of St. Sylvester wearing the tiara on its white enamelled centre, and around this centre a blue enamelled circle bearing in letters of gold the inscription SANC. SYLVESTER P. M. On the reverse side, in golden characters, was stamped MDCCCXLI GREGORIUS XVI RESTITUIT. A golden spur hung suspended from the sides of the bifurcated foot of the cross of the order to mark the unity of the Sylvestrine order with that of the Golden Militia. The ribbon of the decoration was of silk composed of five strands, three of which were red, and two black. Commanders wore the decoration at the neck, the knights on the breast. The ribbon of the former was larger than that of the latter, the cross of the former was also more elegant than that of the latter. The official costume was a red evening dress coat with two rows of gold buttons with green collar and facing. The gold embroideries of the coat were of a more ornate design for commanders than for knights. White trousers, with gold side bands, hat with white plumes and a sword with a silver hilt and also gilt spurs, completed this rarely used costume. Knights of both classes wore around the neck a gold chain from which was suspended a tiny golden spur commemorative of the ancient order of that denomination. Pius X (Motu Proprio, "Multum ad excitandos", 7 Feb., 1905) divided the Sylvestrine into two orders of knighthood, one retaining the name of St. Sylvester and the other taking the ancient name of the order, i.e. Order of the Golden Militia, or Golden Spur.
The present decoration is a gold cross of white enamelled surface, in the centre of which is impressed the image of St. Sylvester P. M., surrounded by a blue enamelled circle bearing the inscription in letters of gold SANC. SYLVESTER P. M. On the opposite side, in the centre, are the pontifical emblems with the date of the Gregorian restoration, MDCCCXXXXR, and that of the Pius X renovation, MDCCCCV, impressed in characters of gold upon a blue circle. The badge is the cross of the order attached to a silver star. The new costume consists of a black (formerly red) coat with one row (formerly two) of gilt buttons, and cuffs and collar of black velvet embroidered in gold; black trousers, with gold stripes, a bicornered hat of rough silk adorned with papal-coloured cockade, and finally a sword with a hilt of mother-of-pearl ornamented with gold and worn suspended from a gilt belt. The ribbon of the decoration is black silk bordered with red. Simple knights wear the cross on the left breast of the tunic. Commanders wear a larger cross suspended by the ribbon of the order encircling the neck, and the Knights of the Grand Cross wear a cross of largest form pendant from the right shoulder and the badge on the left side of the breast. The hat of the commander is adorned with a black, that of the grand cross knight with a white, plume.
Pius X, in commemoration of the high prestige to which this order had attained long years before it was absorbed into the Gregorian Order of St. Sylvester, and as a souvenir of the golden jubilee of the dogmatic definition of the Immaculate Conception of the B. V. M., gave back to it the separate existence, name and grade of ancient days, and rendered it still more illustrious by placing it under the patronage of the Immaculate Conception. To this order are to be admitted only those who have distinguished themselves in an eminent degree, and either by feat of arms, or by their writings, or by any other conspicuous work, have spread the Catholic Faith, and by their bravery have safeguarded, or by their learning made illustrious, the Church of God. To insure its continued high grade of excellence and desirability, its founder limited it to one class and one hundred knights for the entire world ("Multum ad excitandos", 7 Feb., 1905). It can be conferred on those already knighted in the highest orders, even that of Christ, as well as on those who have never received any order of knighthood. The honour is bestowed by a "Motu Proprio" (Pope's own motion) and as such is expedited through the secretariat of State, and free from all chancery fees. The decoration is an eight-pointed or bifurcated yellow enamelled gold cross, with a gold trophy on top and pendent from the inner sides of its bifurcated foot a gold spur. On a small white medal in the centre of the cross the word MARIA surrounded by a golden circle, and on the reverse side in the centre is stamped the year MDCCCCV and in the surrounding circle the inscription PIUS X RESTITUIT. The badge is the cross upon the rays of a silver star. The ribbon used for both decoration and badge is red bordered with white. The knights of today do not wear the ancient collar. The cross is worn suspended by the ribbon of the order which encircles the neck. The badge is attached by the ribbon to the left breast of the tunic. The present official dress consists of a red tunic with two rows of gilt buttons, the collar and cuffs of which are black velvet embroidered with threads of gold, long, black cloth trousers with gold side stripes; epaulettes ornamented with gold fringes and surmounted on top with emblems of the order, gold spurs, oblong two-peaked hat fringed with gold and adorned with a gold knob displaying papal colours, a sword whose hilt is a gilt cross and scabbard black, and finally a gilt sword belt with red fringe. All former concessions of noble titles, even that of count palatine to Knights of the Golden Spur, were revoked by Pope Pius X, who desired to have the personal merit and worth of the knights their sole and only title to honour and respect among men.
Commanders of conspicuous ability and eminent virtue were, in rare cases, and by special papal faculty, permitted to wear the badge on the breast, and so constituted a grade between the grand cross knight and the commander. Pius X "(Quam multa te Ordinemque", 3 May, 1907) fixed the number of grades at three, granted the privilege of affixing a military trophy to the cross, approved the creation of patriarchal representatives in other lands, as the good of the order may demand, prescribed the uniform for them, reserved to himself and successors the title of grand master, and appointed the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem his lieutenant and administrator in the bestowing of this papal decoration. He also arranged that in the event of the death of the patriarch and the vacancy of the see, the powers of the patriarch as papal lieutenant and administrator of the Order of Holy Sepulchre should by law devolve upon the cardinal secretary of state. The decoration is a large red enamelled gold cross, with a narrow border of gold, and surmounted by a royal crown. Prior to the last century the cross was simply gold without the red enamel. The form of the cross is what is called "potentiate", that is, crutched or gibbet-shaped. The four extremities are shaped as the large cross and four small red enamelled crosses of simple form are attached. The ribbon is of black watered silk. A mulberry trophy connects the cross with the ribbon. The plaque or badge is an eight-pointed or rayed silver star, on whose centre is the red cross encircled by the two green enamelled branches, one oak and the other Laurel. The collar, worn only on solemn occasions, is composed of little Jerusalem crosses, and rings of burnished gold. Knights of the first class wear the grand cross suspended from the wide black watered silk ribbon running saltier-wise from the right shoulder to the left side, and the badge on the breast. Commanders carry the cross and Ribbon fastened at the neck. Knights wear the badge on the left breast.
Patriarchal representatives, besides the usual decorations, are permitted to wear the grand cross prominently placed on the breast of the uniform, but on the right side of the breast of the civil dress. The costume is a white evening dress coat with collar, cuffs and breast facings of black velvet with gold embroideries, epaulet of twisted gold cord, white trousers with gold side stripes, a sword and plumed hat. Pius X added to the costume a large white woolen mantle with a red Jerusalem cross on the left breast. The knights rarely don this official robe; they content themselves with wearing the decorations on the civil dress. This decoration may be conferred upon ladies who are then styled Dames or Matrons of the Holy Sepulchre. The dames wear the insignia of their grade, no matter what grade it may be, always on the left side of the breast (Leo XIII, 3 Aug., 1888).
The medal Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice was instituted by Pope Leo XIII (17 July, 1888, "Quod Singulari") in memory of his golden sacerdotal jubilee, and bestowed on those women and men who had merited well by aiding and promoting, and by other excellent ways and means assisted in making the jubilee and the Vatican Exposition successful. This decoration was made a permanent distinction only in October, 1898 (Giobbio, see below). Its object is to reward those who in a general way deserve well of the pope on account of services done for the Church and its head. The medal is of gold, silver or bronze. The decoration is not subject to chancery fees. The medal is a cross made octangular in form by fleurs-de-lis fixed in the angles of the cross in a special manner. The extremities of the cross are of a slightly patonce form. In the centre of the cross is a small medal with an image of its founder, and encircling the image are the words LEO XIII P. M. ANNO X (tenth year of his pontificate). On the obverse side are the papal emblems in the centre, and in the circle surrounding the emblems the motto PRO DEO ET PONTIFICE is stamped. On the obverse surface of the branches of the cross are comets — which with the fleurs-de-lis form the coat of arms of the Pecci family. On the reverse side are stamped the words, PRIDIE (left branch); KAL. (top branch); JANUAR. (right branch); 1888 (at the foot). The ribbon is purple, with delicate lines of white and yellow on each border. The decoration is worn on the right side of breast.
Pope Gregory XVI (1832) instituted two medals which he called merit-medals to reward civil and military daring and courage. The military medal bears on one side the image of the founder, and on the other side an angel holding a scroll with the word BENEMERENTI, surmounted by the papal emblems (sometimes this medal is found encircled by a crown of laurels). It is worn on the breast suspended by a white and yellow ribbon. The civil merit-medal has engraved on its face surface only the word BENEMERENTI, surrounded by a crown of oak leaves. The ribbon is of the papal colours.
This was designed by Leo XIII (Dec. S.C.P.F. 2 May. 1901), who empowered the Custodian of the Holy Land to bestow it upon pilgrims who presented a certificate of good, moral Christian life from their parish priest and a genuinely religious intention in making the journey to the Holy Land. It serves as a testimonial and souvenir of the pilgrimage. The decoration is a cross similar to that of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre, save that the four small crosses are crutched instead of being simple of form. A medallion with the inscription LEO XIII CREAVIT. ANNO M.C.M. occupies the centre of the large cross. On each branch of the large cross are graven figures of the Annunciation, Nativity, Baptism of Christ, and Last Supper respectively. On the crutched-shaped extremities are the words, CHRISTI AMOR CRUCIFIXI TRAXIT NOS. On the reverse side of the cross, the figure of Christ appears in the centre of the medallion. On the branches are representations of the Agony in the Garden, Flagellation, Crowning with Thorns and Crucifixion, and on the extremities of the branches the words SIGNUM SACRI ITINERIS HIERSOLIMITANI. It is worn on the left breast suspended from a red ribbon with four small blue transverse bars bordered with white, which in turn are edged with dark yellow. There are three classes of medals: gold, silver, and bronze, adapted to the condition of pilgrims and the services they have rendered to the Holy Land. The recipient must pay the cost of the medal and bestow an alms of at least two dollars towards the maintenance of the Holy Places. Each year the custodian must inform the Propaganda how many decorations have been bestowed and the amount of the alms given (Dec. S. C. P. F., 10 June, 1901).
Popes Pius VII and Pius IX conferred special decorations which were temporary and not permanent. The former bestowed a medal for military bravery, and another for zeal and courage in stamping out the brigandage, which had taken such hold in the Papal States during the seven years of the French occupation. The latter conferred the Mentana and Castelfidardo medals upon the papal and French soldiers who came to his help at those places.
Pontifical decorations are bestowed either by motu pro prio, and then forwarded by the secretary of state, or upon petition, when they are expedited through the chancery. The most certain and expeditious mode of procuring the coveted decoration is by a petition from the bishop of the diocese of the person to be honoured. The petition must state the name, age, country, in short, a brief history of the life of the applicant, bringing out in relief the eminent labours or work in science, literature, arts, controversial or other religious writings, or generous and self-sacrificing gifts or endowments made or done for society, the Church or its head, which are deemed worthy of papal recognition and reward. This petition must be endorsed by the ordinary of the applicant. The endorsement of another than the diocesan bishop will not suffice. The petition is sent to an agent at Rome, who presents it to the cardinal chancellor of the orders, who not only registers the petition and the endorsement of it by the bishop, but also seeks information from other sources as to the character of the party and his eminent good works.

Western Union Ponies Up for Security - InternetNews.
Speaking at the Interop conference earlier this month, Mike Kalac, the chief information security officer (CISO) of Western Union, detailed how he helped transform the internal security at his company to deal with the modern era of information security threats.
Kalac explained to the audience that in 2012, the information security group within Western Union was viewed as being an obstacle, rather than an enabler, for the business. For example, the IT security group at the time was blocking access to both Facebook and YouTube, on the fear that those sites were insecure and represented a security risk.
When Kalac's group finally did open up and provide limited access to Facebook and YouTube, he admitted that the change wasn't communicated properly to the organization. So even after access was made available, the IT security group within Western Union was still despised.

AloeAminos | Dr. LaMar's Products Co., Inc.
In our modern world, there are a number of proven uses for aloe vera. The aloe vera juice that is found in Dr. LaMar's AloeAminos contains the same nutrients found in aloe vera gel. Aloe vera gel is extracted from the center of the aloe vera leaf.
The most notable uses for ingesting aloe vera juice are osteoarthritis, bowel diseases including ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, as well as for fevers, itching, and inflammation.
For those individuals already blessed with optimal health, Dr. LaMar's AloeAminos is a fantastic whole body tonic. Contained inside you will find essential nutrients, like plant-derived minerals, amino acids, and pure fulvic acid extracted from humate, which has been referred to as the Fountain of Youth for its role in plant & animal nutrition and has shown to make changes to your tissue cells that may aid in your body's anti-aging effects.
Aloe vera juice has also shown to help those with stomach ulcers, diabetes, asthma, and treating some side-effects from radiation treatments. Aloe vera juice has shown to help with wound healing by improving blood circulation through the area and preventing cell death around the wound.
You will also find all 20 amino acids in Dr. LaMar's AloeAminos. Humans can produce 10 of the 20 amino acids. The others must be supplied in our food. Failure to obtain enough of any of the amino acids, our bodies will begin to break down proteins, like muscle tissue, in order to obtain the needed amino acid.
Unlike fat and starch, our bodies do not store excess amounts of amino acids for later use. They must be present in our food everyday!
Not only do amino acids help make neurotransmitters, which are the chemicals that convey messages between brain neurons, they also help produce hormones such as insulin. These neurotransmitters also aid in enzyme secretion for bodily and immune system functions.
Most foods that contain protein like fish, red meat, poultry and dairy, have large amounts of amino acids. Amino acids are often used in body building. A soy protein or whey protein powder are great options to provide more protein in the diet for better muscle building. Adding creatine significantly helps in body building.
Dr. LaMar's AloeAminos is a great product to meet anyone's health goals. This great product comes in an 8 fl. oz. bottle or 1-gallon jug. Order your bottle today!

U.S. report mistakenly says more than 400…
U.S. report mistakenly says more than 400 rapes, sexual assaults occurred at Murrieta schools in one year
PUBLISHED: April 27, 2018 at 6:20 pm | UPDATED: May 2, 2018 at 4:00 pm
Murrieta school officials say an error led to a new federal report's statistic that 25 percent of all rapes and sexual assaults in American high schools in 2015-16 happened on their campuses.
In fact, Murrieta administrators say, there were none.
The U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights released its Report on School Climate and Safety from the 2015-16 Civil Rights Data Collection on Tuesday, April 24. Its statistics say there were 1,100 campus rapes and 10,100 sexual assaults nationwide that year — and 238 rapes and 204 sexual assaults occurred at Murrieta Valley Unified School District high schools.
Murrieta Valley officials responded by posting information on their website to debunk the report. Federal education department spokesman Jim Bradshaw said his office was reviewing the issue.
Murrieta Valley spokeswoman Karen Parris said there were no rapes or sexual assaults in the district during that time frame and that the error came from a technical glitch while sending information to the federal education office.

"When the data got downloaded it pulled from the wrong field," Parris said. "The numbers are completely inaccurate."
The Office for Civil Rights said that the data was reported by 17,300 public school districts and 96,400 public schools and educational programs.
The process involved downloading information from the district database and uploading it to the federal one, Parris said.
"That doesn't always go smoothly," she said.
Parris admitted the district had a chance to double check data before submitting, but it got overlooked in what she said was a 250-page report. She added that upon receiving Murrieta Valley's report, the Department of Education replied that it would review the numbers.
"We missed it, we didn't see it," Parris said. "But it would seem that someone on their end would have caught it as well."
She said that fact that it appeared that 25 percent of the assaults nationwide came from one 23,000-student district should have raised some red flags.
In its web posting, the school district quoted Murrieta Police Capt. Rob Firmes as saying there was one rape alleged to have occurred at Murrieta Valley's four high schools during the 2015-16 school year.
"That case was investigated but officers were not able to substantiate the allegations and charges were never filed," Firmes said in the web post.
Murrieta Valley officials asked Department of Education officials how to get the information corrected, Parris said.
The federal government has collected civil rights data about schools since 1968 but 2015-16 marked the first time the report included comprehensive data on criminal offenses in public schools.

A big chunk of the battle is getting back into a regular school routine. Have your children practice getting up and getting dressed at the same time everyday. Start practicing assembling outfits (and finding shoes!) each night to save time in the morning. Get your children into the habit now of making sure their backpacks are organized and ready to go before they go to bed. You can even start to serve snacks and meals at the same time your child will have them in school. And don't forget fitness – building exercise routines as a family is not only fun, it will help your children feel excited for P.E.! Click here for inspiration!
Thoughts of homework, uncertainty about new teachers, worries of making new friends – as children start to head into back-to-school mode, they can experience a lot of different feelings, ranging the gamut from excitement to dread. Your influence as a parent can have a huge impact! Help instill confidence that this year is going to be the best school year yet for them. Discuss with each child their joys and concerns for the school year – what are they looking forward to? What are they nervous about? Start a journal where you and your child(ren) can communicate your feelings about the school year openly. Mention exciting opportunities such as making new friends, joining clubs or sport teams, and the opportunity to learn about new and interesting subjects.
A stitch in time saves nine! We know this is a tough one, however the more organized you are now, the better off your children's first few weeks of school will be. Make a place for your kids to stash book bags, a spot for important papers, a lunch packing station in the kitchen, and a calendar for everyone to write and keep track of important dates. Also, start to think about getting your children involved in programs after school to keep them active and provide something fun and challenging for them to look forward to at the end of the school day.
Here at Sqord, we know that nutrition and playtime go hand in hand, and healthy eating is crucial for providing your child with ample energy to earn all those Sqord Activity Points. The dog days of summer are coming to a close, with children across the nation heading back to school in a few short weeks. Aside from the usual back-to-school shopping, it's time to dust off the old lunchbox, or perhaps splurge on a shiny new one. Quell the unspoken dread of packing lunches five days a week with these three quick, and healthy, recipes for your children.
Tired of the standard sandwich? Look no further than quesadillas! Kids will gobble them up and they can be devoured cold. Fill a large tortilla with apples and peanut butter, and serve with a side of raisins and carrots for a dairy free lunch sure to please. Or sub the wrap for lettuce if your child is gluten intolerant. Adding a tasty side and maybe a small serving of chocolate covered almonds will be a hit!
Who says pasta can only be served at dinnertime? Let your child enjoy this for lunch. All you need is pasta, turkey meatballs, marinara, and a little shredded parmesan. Add in an extra element of flavor (and veggies!) by substituting regular noodles for zucchini noodles – the unofficial squash of fall! To serve this warm, heat it up in the morning and pack in a thermos.
These are perfect for little fingers! Try this versatile treat with any combination you can imagine. Our delicious suggestion: grapes, ham cubes, and cheese cubes on decorative toothpicks or skewers.
Bonus: we are in the process of developing a nutrition app for your child, designed to be used with their Sqord. Stay tuned to our blog for more updates!
Summer is the season of play, but movement and activity does not have to end as fall approaches and school starts. When school is out for the day, make sure to set aside time for play! Here are three ideas to keep your child active after the last school bell rings. Hint: don't forget to wear your Sqord Pods!
Crank up the tunes to get everyone up and moving! Parents – you can set a custom Goal for silliest dance moves and award Sqoins in the Family Portal!

Father dies aged 73 after 'junior doctors failed to recognise his flesh-eating disease'
Dennis Pearce died after doctors failed to recognise a flesh-eating disease had triggered his sepsis
A father died from sepsis after junior doctors reportedly failed to recognise the flesh-eating disease that triggered his condition.
Dennis Pearce was admitted to Birmingham's Heartlands Hospital on October 4 last year after complaining of pain in his right arm, nausea and an abscess on his armpit.
Despite going to hospital at around 1.30pm, he did not have an X-ray to uncover the source of his infection until 10.25pm.
This led to him being diagnosed with the flesh-eating disease necrotising fasciitis (NF), which had taken hold of his right armpit.
Things took a dramatic turn for the worse when the father-of-two suffered a cardiac arrest on October 5, leaving him unfit for surgery to remove the affected tissue.
Mr Pearce's family decided to turn off his life support on October 5, 36 hours after he arrived at hospital. The pensioner died aged 73.
A serious incident report by University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust later identified a string of failings led to Mr Pearce's death.
Speaking of her father, Mr Pearce's daughter Karen, 47, said: 'Dennis was a wonderful husband and dad. He was the bedrock of our family.
'Having to make the decision to withdraw dad's treatment will be the hardest decision any of us will ever have to make.
'It may be nearly a year since he died but the hurt and pain we continue to feel is still as raw now as it was then.
'What makes things harder to come to terms with is that we never really got to say goodbye to dad properly because he was so poorly.'
Karen took her father to A&E last year when he complained of a host of symptoms, including an inflamed right elbow and limited movement in his arm.
Mr Pearce's wife Jacqueline, who he was married to for 50 years, claims she called the hospital several times throughout the day to check on her husband. Karen left her father in the hospital alone when she had to return to work.
Mrs Pearce claims she was under the impression her husband was having routine tests.
A GP working in A&E reportedly reviewed Mr Pearce, who referred him to a general surgery doctor.
The pensioner was looked over again at 5pm and told he did not have an abscess. Nonetheless, his care was escalated to the trauma and orthopaedics team.
Following further reviews and X-rays, a registrar diagnosed Mr Pearce with sepsis at 10.25pm, citing an infection under his right armpit as a possible cause.
With Mr Pearce deteriorating fast, plans were made for him to have a CT scan at 5am the next day to trace the exact source of the infection.
This never went ahead, however, after he had a cardiac arrest at around 6.30am that morning, before the scan had taken place.
During all of this, Karen, Jacqueline and Mr Pearce's son Wayne, 52, were told to go to the hospital because Mr Pearce was close to death. He died at 12.40am on October 5.
Mr Pearce's loved ones made the decision to withdraw his life support based on doctors' advice.
Mr Pearce's wife of 50 years Jacqueline (pictured on their wedding day) claims she called the hospital to check on his progress and was led to believe he was having routine tests
A serious incident report later stated a 'lack of recognition' by doctors over Mr Pearce's sepsis meant an 'opportunity was missed' to diagnose him with NF.
It also concluded Mr Pearce should have been reviewed by a senior member of staff early on to determine which team needed to care for him.
Junior and middle-grade doctors reportedly displayed a 'lack of recognition' of sepsis or what had triggered it.
The report also found there was a 'lack of communication' between medical teams regarding who should care for Mr Pearce.
Finally, the report stated his infected tissue should have been removed earlier.
'It was a complete shock and absolutely devastating to receive the report through the post which highlighted numerous failures with dad's care, which could have caused his death,' Karen said.
Amid their grief, the family are speaking out ahead of World Sepsis Day on Friday.
'All we can hope for now is that by speaking out lessons are learned and more people are aware of how dangerous sepsis can be,' Karen said.
'It's so important symptoms are spotted quickly so those suffering can receive the best available care as soon as possible.'
Mr Pearce was admitted to Birmingham's Heartlands Hospital (pictured) on October 4 last year after he complained of pain in his right arm, nausea and an abscess beneath his armpit
Jennifer Shipley, specialist medical negligence solicitor at Irwin Mitchel, which is representing the family, said: 'Through our work, we have seen on numerous occasions the terrible impact sepsis can have on people when it is not treated as quickly as possible.
'Understandably Jacqueline and the rest of the family remain devastated and extremely troubled about the worrying issues in the care Dennis received that the Trust itself identified.
'We are now working with the Trust to address the family's concerns.'
Off the back of the report, the Trust has made a series of recommendations. These include ensuring a patient is assessed by a registrar if they are transferred to a specific medical team at A&E.
'We are pleased the Trust has made a number of recommendations following its investigation as the family now want lessons to be learned,' Ms Shipley said.
'It's now vital these recommendations are implemented and upheld at all times by staff so patient care is improved.'
Dr Ron Daniels, chief executive of the UK Sepsis Trust, added: 'Every year in the UK 250,000 people are affected by sepsis, 52,000 of whom lose their lives to the condition.
'If diagnosed quickly, however, sepsis is easily treatable and we believe that earlier diagnosis and treatment across the UK would save at least 14,000 lives a year.
'With every hour that passes before the right antibiotics are administered, risk of death increases.
'Better awareness could save thousands of lives and, together, we can change the way sepsis is handled in the UK.'
MailOnline has approached University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust for comment.
WHAT IS SEPSIS?
Sepsis occurs when the body reacts to an infection by attacking its own organs and tissues.
Some 44,000 people die from sepsis every year in the UK. Worldwide, someone dies from the condition every 3.5 seconds.
Sepsis has similar symptoms to flu, gastroenteritis and a chest infection.
Passing no urine in a day
It feels like you are dying
Skin mottled or discoloured
Symptoms in children are:
Fast breathing
Fits or convulsions
Mottled, bluish or pale skin
Rashes that do not fade when pressed
Feeling abnormally cold
Under fives may be vomiting repeatedly, not feeding or not urinating for 12 hours.
Anyone can develop sepsis but it is most common in people who have recently had surgery, have a urinary catheter or have stayed in hospital for a long time.
Other at-risk people include those with weak immune systems, chemotherapy patients, pregnant women, the elderly and the very young.
Treatment varies depending on the site of the infection but involves antibiotics, IV fluids and oxygen, if necessary.

Business Buyers Face Expanding Liability Risks
By Ed Sadik
Business Buyers can find themselves with an unexpected, expensive surprise when a court makes them pay up for the Seller's liabilities, especially employment law violations. A recent case expands the list of Seller liabilities that a Buyer could end up paying the bill for. Buyers should carefully plan to assess and mitigate those risks, especially if the Seller is experiencing financial difficulty.
Generally, the Buyer of a corporation's assets does not assume the Seller's corporate liabilities. But there are exceptions to the rule. The Supreme Court imposes successor liability on asset Buyers in employer-employee contexts. Specifically, a Buyer may be bound by a Seller's collective bargaining agreement or liable for a seller's unfair labor practices. Other Federal Courts have expanded the doctrine of successor liability to delinquent pension fund contributions under ERISA, the Fair Labor Standards Act (minimum wage and overtime), the Family and Medical Leave Act, and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
A court looks at two things before it imposes successor liability on a Buyer:
the Buyer's awareness of the Seller's liability;
a substantial continuity of identity in the business enterprise.
There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to evaluating substantial continuity. It depends on all the circumstances, but courts typically look at the similarity of the new business to the old, as well as the type of liability at question.
Recently, a Second Circuit Court was asked to expand the doctrine of successor liability to hold an asset buyer liable for its predecessor's withdrawal liability under the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendment Act (MPPAA). The MPPAA amended ERISA to provide that if an employer withdraws from a multiemployer plan, it is liable for its portion of unfunded vested benefits. This was adopted to reduce the burden on the plan and remaining participants, protect the financial solvency of multiemployer plans, and to ensure employees do not lose their retirement benefits.
In New York State Teamsters Conference Pension and Retirement Fund V. C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc., 24 F.4th 163 (Jan. 27, 2022), the Defendant, C&S, bought most of the assets of Penn Traffic, a grocery wholesale business, excluding a warehouse in Syracuse and the warehouse employees who were members of the Plaintiff multiemployer union. Penn Traffic continued to operate the Syracuse warehouse and employ the Plaintiff union member employees. Penn Traffic went bankrupt and pulled out of the Plaintiff multiemployer pension plan, creating significant withdrawal liability. The Plaintiff sued to collect Penn Traffic's withdrawal liability from C&S on the doctrine of successor liability. The Court easily found that an asset Buyer could be liable for a Seller's withdrawal liability under the doctrine of successor liability. Because Federal Courts already used the successor liability doctrine to make Buyers pay for Sellers' delinquent pension fund contributions under ERISA, the Court had no trouble expanding the reach of successor liability to include withdraw liability under the MPPAA. In the Court's words:
The primary reason for making a successor responsible for its predecessor's delinquent ERISA contributions is that, "absent the imposition of successor liability, present and future employer participants in the union pension plan will bear the burden of the predecessor's failure to pay its share," which will threaten the health of the plan while the successor reaps a windfall. That rationale applies with equal, if not greater, force to a predecessor's MPPAA withdrawal liability.
But the case also contains good news for Buyers: the Court held that C&S could not be liable for Penn Traffic's withdraw liability, because C&S did not buy the Syracuse warehouse and did not hire the employees who work there (the withdrawal liability related to those employees). Because C&S was not Penn Traffic's successor to that business it was not on the hook for Penn Traffic's withdraw liability.
Buyers should carefully investigate and assess employment related exposures as part of due diligence. And when risks pop up, Buyers should mitigate them appropriately. If the Teamsters opinion tells us anything, one way to do that is to carve out riskier business units altogether. Sometimes that's not practical, and that's when a quality legal team can help you control the risk.

Digital Legacies: A Modern Necessity in a Digital World
By Casey W.Callahan
With so many hours spent on email, social media and other internet activities, it might feel as if your whole life is lived online. But have you ever wondered what will happen to your accounts and photos when you pass away? How will loved ones communicate about your passing, access photos of you, or wrap up unfinished business? The simple answer: you can leave instructions describing your wishes.
Written instructions in your estate planning documents can help your executor or trustee access your digital legacy post-death. A digital legacy may include accounts on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, or Twitter as well as blogs, licensed domain names, music, photos, files you store online and access to financial accounts.
In recent years, laws have been enacted to facilitate the transfer in ownership of digital accounts. The most notable of which for Michigan residents is the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act ("RUFADAA" or the "Act"). This Act provides individuals an ability to empower a fiduciary – such as an executor or trustee – to receive disclosure of the individual's digital assets from the entity that runs or operates the account (also known as the "custodian" of the account). For example, Apple is the custodian of iCloud.
Under the Act, a properly empowered fiduciary would have the ability to petition the account's custodian for access to the deceased's account and its contents. Critically, the access granted pursuant to RUFADAA must be in the form of the deceased individual expressly authorizing access within their will, trust, or power of attorney.
The process of efficiently and adequately transferring many digital assets is still in its infancy. With this in mind, there are proactive steps an account owner should take while still alive to expedite access to digital accounts once deceased. For example, it is one thing to have the legal authority to gain access to an account, and quite another to have current direct access with username and password to identify and unlock the account. Thus, it is advantageous to also provide the fiduciary with login information for digital accounts.
Putting login names and passwords in writing does not come without a degree of risk, and caution should be utilized in sharing this sensitive information. If you have concerns about providing your fiduciary with account login information while you are still living, you should discuss safeguard options with your estate planning attorney. At a minimum, the fiduciary should have a username, or the equivalent, to identify the account in question to petition for access.
While the RUFADAA is useful, it is even more advantageous if the fiduciary does not have to rely on the Act at all. This can be done by using online tools directly through the account custodian. These online tools are a relatively new phenomenon but are becoming increasingly commonplace, as account custodians grapple with how to adequately balance account owner privacy against many owners' desires to transfer digital accounts and contents once the owner is no longer living.
The functionality of these online tools varies from custodian to custodian, but the intent broadly remains the same. At its core, an online tool provided by a custodian allows an account's owner to identify individuals that are permitted to access the owner's account in the event of the owner's death.
One of the more robust versions of this can be found in Google's Inactive Account Manager. There, the account owner can decide on a time period of inactivity, at the end of which the Inactive Account Manager kicks in. The owner also identifies up to ten people that are to be notified once the period of inactivity has run. The tool applies to all Google products, meaning that the owner can choose which of the identified people receive access to which accounts.
Another notable online tool is the Apple iCloud Digital Legacy, a recent addition to Apple software. There, the iCloud account owner can choose up to five people that can access and download the account's data after the owner's death. This has been a highly sought-after feature because users often store the bulk of their pictures in the cloud, often making those memories difficult to access following the death of the account owner.
As our lives become further documented online, it is imperative that you work with your estate planning attorney to ensure digital accounts are included in a comprehensive estate plan. A combination of proper estate planning techniques and use of custodian online tools will help to ensure your digital legacy is accessible to your loved ones.

What to Know About Gun Laws in the Wake of Oxford
By Austin W.Probst
In late 2021, Michigan was shaken by the Oxford High School shooting. The tragedy of that event has sparked debate around firearm ownership, use, storage, and the potential for liability. Heated discussions are occurring on the state and federal levels.
Numerous bills by Michigan Democrats and Republicans were introduced in the 2021 session. Proposed changes range from requiring universal background checks to repealing the pistol registry to allowing residents to concealed carry without a permit.
It can be a dizzying experience trying to follow the debate over firearm legislation. So, we prepared an overview of proposed legislation at the federal and state levels as well as a brief comparison to Michigan's current firearm laws.
On the Federal Level:
In late December 2021, U.S. Representative Elisa Slotkin of Michigan's 8th Congressional district promised to introduce what has been called the "Safe Guns Safe Kids Act." In the press, she has said the Act would seek to impute liability and criminal penalties upon gun owners that do not secure their firearms. Slotkin has stated "If a child goes on to commit a crime or hurt others, you could be liable, you could be held accountable criminally for up to five years in prison." Locally, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel released a statement in support of the Act.
On the State Level:
In Michigan, a number of new bills have been introduced in the House and Senate.
House Bills 5627 and 5628 as well as Senate Bills 785 and 786 seek to prohibit the sale or possession of a magazine capable of holding over 10 rounds. Violation of these bills, should they become law, amount to a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $500.00 or 90 days in jail. However, a subsequent violation would be categorized as a felony, punishable of up to a $5,000.00 fine or two years in prison. A person who already owned a magazine exceeding 10 rounds would be able to keep it so long as it was reported to the person's local law enforcement agency. Currently, Michigan has no specific laws which place a limit on magazine capacity.
Much like Slotkin's proposal, House Bills 5066 and 5069 as well as Senate Bills 550 and 553 have been introduced to require anyone who stores a firearm in an area that may be accessible by a minor to (a) secure the firearm with a locking device; (b) store it in a lock box; or (c) "keep it in a location that a reasonable person would believe is secure". If these bills were to become law, a failure to abide by them would be a felony punishable of up to 5 years in prison if the minor uses the firearm to hurt, injure, or kill anyone, including themselves.
Currently, Michigan has no specific law regarding storage of firearms. However, MCL 28.435 does require that any licensed Federal Firearms Dealer include (a) a commercially available trigger lock or (b) other device designed to prevent discharge or (c) a commercially available gun case or storage container to prevent access to the firearm when the dealer sells a firearm.
Senate Bills 454-456 as well as House Bills 4869-4871 seek to impose a universal background check for anyone attempting to purchase a firearm. This legislation would extend a licensing process currently only utilized for handguns (pistols). Michigan currently has no specific licensing requirement for purchase of a long gun.
Alternatively, Senate Bills 489-492 and House Bills 5364-5367 seek to allow residents to carry a concealed weapon without a permit. This type of structure for a state is colloquially known as a "constitutional carry." Currently, Michigan requires a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
Senate Bills 646-648 and House Bills 5312-5314 are aimed at repealing the Michigan Pistol registry. The bills also seek the destruction of existing records unless held for an ongoing criminal matter or civil lawsuit. Michigan currently requires that handguns be registered with the county or police.
State Level Bipartisan Bills:
Senate Bill 678-679 and House Bill 5371-5372 seek to prohibit any individual that is convicted of a domestic violence misdemeanor from possession of a gun or ammunition for 8 years from the date of (a) payment of all fines and (b) completion of any jail time or probation.
No matter what side of the proposed legislation you are on, there are some basic safety techniques that can be used when dealing with firearms. The Michigan Department of State Police has issued some guidance on use and storage of a firearm in the home environment.
These tips include:
Having a discussion with family members regarding safe and unsafe use
Treating every firearm as if it is loaded
Unloading a firearm when it is not in use
Keeping ammunition and the firearm out of the reach of children
Using proper eye and ear protection when using a firearm
Throughout 2022 we may see some movement on a few of these proposals. Many of us will be watching closely. We hope that everyone has a safe and prosperous new year.
When questions or concerns arise about legislation, all citizens have the option to write or call local representatives. Contact information for Representatives can be found at: SOM – Legislature Contacts (michigan.gov)

Message from Ralph A.Castelli Jr.- Winter 2021
Remembering George W.Gregory
Sadly, Kemp Klein is starting off the year with an unexpected loss. Our friend and shareholder, George Gregory, passed away very suddenly on Tuesday, January 4th.
The reactions to George's passing from his colleagues here at the office were all very similar. It was said repeatedly that George was a good lawyer, a good man, and was kind and generous with his time and talent. He was a hard worker, but never too busy to discuss an issue and offer excellent legal advice. On a personal level, George was always interested in the lives and families of everyone here at our office. He spoke of his wife, Lorraine, son, Frederick ("Eric"), and granddaughter, Rosalind, often and with pride.
If there is any positive to be found in this news, it is that George was doing work that he loved for many years, although too few, through the end of his life. He was a veteran of the U.S. Army. After his military service, George attended college, earned his CPA in 1976 and subsequently went on to law school, starting his legal career in 1980. He had a wealth of knowledge and experience that will very much be missed, but not nearly as much as his larger than life, friendly personality.
Due to the intensity of COVID cases, a memorial service will be scheduled at a later date.

Family Matters: How to Help a Friend or Family Member Who is Considering or Going Through a Divorce
By Amy A.Stawski
There comes a time when a person considering or going through a divorce decides to break the news to friends or family. There are certain things you can do if a friend or family member decides to confide in you:
Listen. The first (and often, best) thing that you can do is listen; in my more than 30 years dedicated to the practice of family law, my clients tell me that the people they hold most dear months – and even years – later, are the ones who were there to "lend an ear" when it was most needed.
Let them talk. Don't interrupt; let them tell you what they want to tell you before you ask any questions.
Offer non-judgmental support. When it's time for you to speak, offer support without judging the person or the potential/soon-to-be ex-spouse. Most people are feeling exceptionally fragile at this time; saying things like "I thought something was going on" or "it's about time" might make you feel better momentarily, but it may be damaging to the person who still feels ambivalent. After all, it has to be an individual decision and by offering support – rather than judgment – you can encourage individual decision-making without the interference of your opinion.
Don't compare. You won't be doing the person any favors if you make pronouncements about others' divorces as if one divorce can be closely analogized to another. Every divorce is fact-specific and dependent upon any number of variables, including income, property, children, length of the marriage, and so much more.
Keep things confidential. Don't betray the person's confidence by telling friends or family members what you just heard. If they want other people to know, they will decide who to tell, and when. This is not your news to share.
Be the friend they're counting on you to be. If this same person just received a serious medical diagnosis, you'd probably tell them to get a second opinion from a qualified expert. That's also good advice for anyone considering a divorce. Knowledge is power, and lack of knowledge can keep a person in an unhealthy, stagnant situation. Encourage the person to seek professional legal advice. That's because relying on opinions of those without legal experience – however well intentioned – may unintentionally and needlessly exacerbate the situation. An initial, no-cost, fact finding discussion with a Family Law attorney will help them get a sense for what they can reasonably expect in terms of options, end results and cost.
My number one priority as a family law attorney is to help my clients understand the divorce process and the impact of their decisions will have on them and on any children they may have. After that, it's to help them achieve the best possible outcome going forward. People need to seek information related to his or her particular case, and not rely upon lay opinions, stories based on dissimilar facts, or the internet.
Note: This article is not intended to take the place of legal counsel, nor should it be considered personal legal advice. It is solely intended to provide information about the issues that may arise when contemplating divorce. Call for an appointment and I will be pleased to have a preliminary discussion with you about your specific situation.
For further information regarding these matters, please contact Ms. Stawski at 248.619.2590 or via email.

Snapchat, School, Free Speech and…Cheerleading
Free speech has become a ubiquitous topic of discussion given the political landscape of the country, the pandemic, and the way information is disseminated. This summer, the Supreme Court of the United States has decided a case that involves an integral intersection of social media, free speech, and modern American life. The case, Mahanoy Area School District v. B.L., grapples with the first amendment, school regulation of speech, and among other issues, Snapchat.
In 2016, Brandi Levy ("B.L.") tried out for her high school varsity cheerleading team. However, she was notified that she did not make varsity and instead was placed on the junior varsity team. After she received the news, B.L. was angry with the decision and, over the weekend, she posted a picture of herself on the popular social media platform Snapchat with a caption utilizing expletives regarding school and cheerleading. She posted from a local convenience store, similar to a 7-11. The photo was visible to many, including other students and cheerleaders. The photo was screen captured and saved. Several of the students who saw the post approached school staff, including the cheerleading coaches, saying that the post was inappropriate and that it upset them. The staff decided that the post violated school rules and policy. Accordingly, B.L. was then suspended from cheering on the junior varsity team for a full year. The school athletic director, principal, and the school board affirmed her suspension.
After B.L. was suspended, she (by and through her parents) filed suit in federal court alleging, among other things, that the school had unconstitutionally punished her free speech, which was made outside of the school. The federal district court (trial court) ruled in her favor, finding that the school violated her first amendment rights. The school appealed, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed the district court's decision. The Supreme Court of the United States granted certiorari and heard the case via ZOOM on April 28, 2021.
During oral argument, the Court grappled with prior precedent contained in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District. The Tinker case dealt with the speech of students wearing black armbands in protest of the Vietnam War at school. That case was decided in 1969, well before the invention of social media, creating a complicated interaction between modern technology and traditional education, particularly considering that none of the justices involved in the Tinker decision are still serving on the Court. The Court was quick to point our that it "was not interested in writing a treatise on free speech." It was clear during the several hour argument period that the court was toiling with arguments related to the location of the speech, the platform, the timing of the speech (off school hours), and how the Tinker test of "material disruption to class work" was to be applied. It was clear that the speech did not rise to the level of bullying or harassment, which are clear circumstances that implicate a school's regulatory interests.
In its opinion, the Court addressed the fact that schools may rarely stand in loco parentis when a student speaks off campus, that the court had to be careful about extending schools regulatory authority to a full 24-hour day, and that the school has an interest in protecting unpopular expression as America's public schools are nurseries of democracy. Ultimately, in an 8-1 decision, the Court sided with B.L., finding, among other things, that the speech was not obscene, did not incite violence, and were she an adult, she uttered the kind of speech that would surely afford her First Amendment protection. The fact that the speech was made on a private device was also mentioned. Only Justice Thomas dissented and argued that the Court ignored 150 years of history supporting the coach and schools' ability to regulate off campus speech. He took issue with the Court's manner of ruling and the generic rule, which he enumerates as "Schools can regulate speech less often when the speech occurs off campus." Frankly, the issue itself is somewhat moot given the fact that B.L. has since matriculated from high school and is in college. This case is a perfect microcosm of a larger set of issues that will stem from social media, internet technology development, and globalization in the law. However, a singular piece of wisdom uttered during the early days of internet popularity continues to ring true: take care to consider the ramifications of online content prior to posting.

Sikorsky CH-53K Completes Critical Flight Envelope Expansion with 36,000-pound External Lift
Press Releases Aerospace, Sikorsky
CH-53K helicopter can lift three times the external load of its predecessor
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., March 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — The Sikorsky CH-53K King Stallion completed an external lift of a 36,000-pound payload at the Sikorsky Development Flight Center, achieving a maximum weight on the single center point cargo hook. This milestone marks completion of critical flight envelope expansion activities for the CH-53K as Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company (NYSE: LMT) prepares to deliver the first aircraft to the U.S. Marine Corps this year.
The CH-53K lifted the external load of 36,000 lbs. into a hover followed by flight demonstrating satisfactory handling qualities and structural margins. The gross weight of the aircraft topped out at just over 91,000 lbs., making this the heaviest helicopter ever flown by Sikorsky.
"The successful completion of these last critical envelope expansion tests further demonstrates the maturity of the CH-53K aircraft," said Dr. Michael Torok, Sikorsky Vice President, Marine Corps Systems. "We look forward to bringing this unique and exceptional heavy lift capability to the United States Marine Corps and our international customers."
Prior to the 36,000-lb. lift, the CH-53K lifted various external payloads up to 27,000 lbs. including a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV). The CH-53K can carry a 27,000 lb. external load over 110 nautical miles in high/hot conditions, which is more than triple the external load carrying capacity of the legacy CH-53E aircraft. Other flight envelope accomplishments include tethered hover demonstrating flight speeds to 200 knots, angle of bank to 60 degrees, takeoffs and landings from sloped surfaces up to 12 degrees, external load auto-jettison, and gunfire testing.
"The payload capability of this helicopter is unmatched, triple that of its predecessor and better than any other heavy lift helicopter in production," said Col. Hank Vanderborght, U.S. Marine Corps Program Manager for the Naval Air Systems Command's Heavy Lift Helicopters Program. "The CH-53K program continues on pace to deploy this incredible heavy lift capability to our warfighters."
The CH-53K is also garnering international interest. Rheinmetall and Sikorsky recently signed a strategic teaming agreement to offer the CH-53K for Germany's new heavy lift helicopter competition. Additional teammates will be announced in the coming weeks leading up to the aircraft's debut at the ILA Berlin Air Show in April.

\section{Introduction}
Entanglement verification is known to be a prerequisite
sub-protocol in quantum key distribution (QKD) \cite{marcos}.
In physical implementations of QKD protocols,
it is often hard to justify a particular theoretical assumption;
no matter how advanced our current technologies are, one inevitably faces
experimental imperfections. For example, in the entanglement based version
of the BB84 protocol \cite{bennett84a,shorpreskill}, one assumes that the parties are able to perform
projective measurements in two mutually unbiased bases.
This cannot be realized with an absolute certainty in
experiments. Abandoning this assumption leads to a completely device independent
version of QKD, where the only way to prove security is to show that
correlations violate one of the Bell inequalities.
However, this case can appear as another extreme, where the complete knowledge of
the system is substituted by complete ignorance of what the system might be.

A certain degree of trust in the underlying physical system is, however, not so
far off from the reality. The example given is a cold atom in an ion trap. This
system can be considered as a qubit with a very high precision.
In Ref. \cite{us}, we developed an approach for entanglement verification based
on different forms of partial information, like knowing the underlying dimension or
further measurement properties such as sharpness or orthogonality; for other alternatives
see Ref. \cite{rosset11pra}. In this note we apply
this method in order to derive a key formula for the entanglement based
BB84 protocol. In particular, we show that if one registers the standard observations
(symmetric bit error and no correlations if one measures in different bases) then
one can use the same one-way key rate formula as in the completely characterized scheme.

\section{Key rate formula}
In the BB84 setting, Alice and Bob perform two different dichotomic $\pm$ measurements each, which give rise to
random variables (data) ${\bf X}$, ${\bf X}'$ and ${\bf Y}$, ${\bf Y}'$ at Alice's and Bob's stations respectively.
For the description of a hypothetical situation, when Alice is able to perform sharp and orthogonal measurements, i.e.,
standard projections in two mutually unbiased bases, we use random variables $\overline{\bf X}$, $\overline{\bf X}'$.
Here $\overline{\bf X}$ results from the perfect projective measurement that gave rise to the random variable
${\bf X}$ \cite{us}, while $\overline{\bf X}'$ results from any projective measurement
performed in a mutually unbiased bases with respect to the
one that produces $\overline{\bf X}$. This means that ${\bf X}$ can be achieved
from $\overline{\bf X}$ by performing a classical postprocessing.
The key rate using one-way classical postprocessing from Alice to Bob is given by \cite{devetak05a}
\begin{align}
R_{\rightarrow}&\geq \min[I({\bf X}:{\bf Y})-I({\bf X}:{\bf E})]\nonumber\\
&\geq I({\bf X}:{\bf Y})-\max I(\overline{\bf X}:{\bf E})\nonumber\\
&\geq I({\bf X}:{\bf Y}) - \max(1-H(\overline{\bf X}|{\bf E}))\nonumber\\
&\geq I({\bf X}:{\bf Y}) - \max H(\overline{\bf X}'|{\bf Y}),
\label{eq:keyrate}
\end{align}
where the first inequality is the data processing inequality $I({\bf X}:{\bf E})\leq I(\overline{\bf X}:{\bf E})$,
the second readily follows from the definition of
the mutual information $I$ and from the bound $H({\bf X})\leq -\log|{\bf X}|=1$ and the third
is the entropic uncertainty relation \cite{tomamichel11}. Note that at this stage one does not need
the quantum description of the measurements on Bob's side anymore.

The data which Alice and Bob record after the quantum
stage of the protocol can be presented in a data matrix of the form
\begin{equation}
D=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & \mathbb{E}({\bf Y}) & \mathbb{E}({\bf Y}')\\
\mathbb{E}({\bf X}) & \mathbb{E}({\bf XY}) & \mathbb{E}({\bf XY}')\\
\mathbb{E}({\bf X}') & \mathbb{E}({\bf X}'{\bf Y}) & \mathbb{E}({\bf X}'{\bf Y}')
\end{array}\right),
\end{equation}
which completely characterizes the probability distribution.
This matrix can be transformed to another data matrix which contains the hypothetical
random variables $\overline{\bf X}$ and $\overline{\bf X}'$ on Alice's side by
$\overline{D}=R\cdot S\cdot D$ \cite{us}, with
\begin{equation}
S=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 0 & 0\\
x_1 & x_2 & 0\\
x_3 & 0 & x_4
\end{array}\right),\;
R=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 1 & 0\\
0 & -\cot\theta & \csc\theta
\end{array}\right),
\end{equation}
with real parameters $x_2\geq1+|x_1|$, $x_4\geq1+|x_3|$ that characterize unsharpness of Alice's measurements and
$\theta\in[0,\pi]$ the relative angle between the measurements' directions.

Assume now that we observe the data which is common in the BB84 protocol, i.e., symmetric bit error, no
correlations if one measures in different bases and uniform marginals. This corresponds
to a diagonal matrix
\begin{equation}
D=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 0 & 0\\
0 & \sigma & 0\\
0 & 0 & \sigma
\end{array}\right)
\end{equation}
and hence one obtains
\begin{equation}
\overline{D}=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 0 & 0\\
x_1 & \sigma x_2 & 0\\
x_3 & -\sigma x_4 \cot\theta & \sigma x_4\csc\theta
\end{array}\right).
\end{equation}
First of all, we note that $H({\bf X}|{\bf Y})=h_2(\frac{1-\sigma}{2})$ with
$h_2(x)=-x\log_2x-(1-x)\log_2(1-x)$. Second,
from $\overline{D}$ we can extract the upper bound on $\max H(\overline{\bf X}'|{\bf Y}')$
\begin{align}
\max H(\overline{\bf X}'|{\bf Y}')&\leq\max h_2\left[\frac{1}{2}(1-\mathbb{E}(\overline{\bf X}'{\bf Y}'))\right]\nonumber\\
&\leq\max_{x_4,\theta}\left[h_2\left(\frac{1}{2}(1-\sigma x_4 \csc\theta)\right)\right]\label{eq:estimate}\nonumber\\
&=h_2\left(\frac{1-\sigma}{2}\right),
\end{align}
where the first inequality follows from the classical data processing inequality, while
the last equality follows from the minimization with constraints $x_4\geq1,\sin\theta\in[0,1]$. By noting
that $Q=(1-\sigma)/2$ corresponds to quantum bit error rate after parameter estimation and plugging Eq. (\ref{eq:estimate})
into Eq. (\ref{eq:keyrate}), we arrive at the same key rate formula as in Ref. \cite{shorpreskill}:
\begin{equation}
R_{\rightarrow}\geq 1 - 2 h_2\left(Q\right).
\end{equation}

Q: Documentation/Sample to integrate official WebRTC SDK into Android / iOS APP I figured out that webrtc.org recently released Android and iOS Libraries to support WebRTC inside native mobile apps:
https://cocoapods.org/pods/GoogleWebRTC
https://bintray.com/google/webrtc/google-webrtc
I am searching for a documentation or sample app for these libraries. Does anybody have some information?
Some development questions:

*

*How can I do the signaling process using these SDKs (with my existing WebRTC server)?

*Which operating systems/devices are supported?

*Where can I get a sample app that uses these SDKs? All apps I found have other integration

At all I wasn't able to find any documentation...
Thanks in advance!

For the kids in Tehran's underground rock scene, the dream was simple: party, make music, and escape to New York, where the life they wanted was legal. By 2011 three bands—the Yellow Dogs, Hypernova, and the Free Keys—had found their way to Brooklyn. But as their indie community thrived, one of the band members was sinking fast. Nancy Jo Sales discovers how, on November 11, four young Iranian musicians ended up dead.

His current research focuses on building secure systems, all the way from hardware to system software to applications that run on them.
Tiwari and his team have designed and built the first secure processor that obfuscates all digital signal outputs, including even addresses to physical memory. This processor, implemented on a Convey FPGA-based server, can be used as a root of trust in datacenters where an attacker (a malicious employee, for example) has physical access to confidential computation.
They are also working on a platform where users can control their privacy while using applications that span mobile and datacenter machines. We have prototyped an OS-level mandatory access control system that enforces policies across Android and server-side Linux machines, and developed a simple design pattern to express rich functionality in privacy preserving applications.
Prof. Tiwari received a PhD from UC Santa Barbara (2011) and was a post-doctoral fellow at UC Berkeley (2011-13) before joining UT.


Early New England architecture was influenced by the styles and traditions brought over from England and Europe. American Colonial incorporates styles from the Dutch, French Colonial and more. Typically colonial houses are wood frame with clapboard siding, two-stories and usually with the 2nd floor protruding over the 1st floor. Colonial homes have a large central fireplace a steep, shingled roof with side gables. Available Colonial style houses in Vermont are listed below.
