Reminds me of "Meeska mooska Mockey Mouse!"
As someone who is Slavic... Nope. In English, I admit that "Annie" sounds quite good as a diminutive of Ann, but this, no. I accept it as pet name, but it can't stand alone.
I'd use this as a cool nickname for Anne, Anna or Anouk. It's lovely but, having studied Russian, it doesn't feel substantial enough for a full name to me.
Russian pet form of Anna. Beautiful name.

A vertical spray breaks the ocean's surface in the forefront of grand, mountain-studded scenery. You can't believe your eyes — along the water surfaces a massive whale! It arcs above the waterline before gracefully diving back down, flipping its tail as if waving you farewell.
All this and more await when you go whale watching in Alaska. You only need to bring a camera and a rainproof jacket to stay warm as you set off to find these beautiful creatures. Take pictures to record your experience and show photos to your loved ones back home. You'll treasure memories of your whale watching experience for years to come.
Board a catamaran to embark on your excursion in Stephens Passage for unforgettable whale watching in Alaska. This vessel is powered by water jet and is specifically designed for viewing wildlife. A naturalist will accompany your group to provide a specialist's insight and share facts about the wildlife behavior you see along the way. You'll also learn about the surrounding habitat and migration patterns of the whales as you travel. Relax in the comfort of the catamaran's main cabin, which features large windows for an unobstructed view of the aquatic life. Orca whales and humpback whales frequent Stephens Passage, and whale watching in Alaska offers rare glimpses into their lives.
Whales aren't the only animals you might encounter on your excursion. This area is visited by abundant sea life including Dall's porpoise, harbor seals and Steller sea lions. Additionally, land animals might be visible from the shoreline. These include bald eagles, bears, deer and more. Your guide will be able to spot the bevy of animals and point them out as your group travels along the water.
As a channel in Alaska's Alexander Archipelago, Stephens Passage is a primary route for aquatic life traveling along the coast. Evergreen trees such as spruce are spread along the coast and glaciers are visible at the northernmost point. Stephens Passage is home to some of the best whale watching in Alaska — and the world. Check out available cruises to this precious region and book your own whale watching excursion today.

Q: changing the default threshold or locking the axis with hammer 2 (with jquery plugin) I am working on a web app that utilizes horizontal swipe (pan) but I am having trouble locking the axis (or changing the default threashold of 10). I dont want the element to swipe if the user simply drags down the page (the default set up seems a bit sensitive).
My code is as follows:
var $swipe = $('.swipe');
$swipe.hammer().on("panleft panright", function(e) {
 //code here
});

I have tried passing the options object in hammer({stuff here}) but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Any help or guidance much appreciated.
A.

A: As answered here Can't seem to pass options to Hammer.js Jquery you have to get the options manager and then set the options throught that.

$swipe.data('hammer').get('panleft').set({threshold: 0.1});

1) The Brady Bunch: What better way to kick off our season than by looking at this phenomenon? Wait, don't answer that if you're a hater. Hey, despite what some people might say about the show (possibly including one of our hosts), I think there are two kinds of people in this world: those who appreciate the Bradys and sociopaths.
2) Eve Plumb: (Dawn premiered 1976) Not only was Plumb famous for being Jan on our podcast subject this week, but her notable TV movie Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway was
3) William Conrad: This is the late actor's 100th birthday, and apart from. what, narrating Buck Rogers, we have had an appalling lack of Big Bill on the podcast. We'll try and do better.
4) Andy Griffith: On our official Facebook group (come join us), our friend Geno claimed Andy was robbed in the Battys Outstanding Actor category for season 7. Reasonable people can disagree over the Battys, which generated more buzz this year than the Emmys according to our unofficial research.
As a consolation (and Griffith DID win Outstanding Villain for his Sam Farragut in Pray for the Wildcats), here's a clip of Andy in Headmaster:
5) Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention: We send a shout-out to Martin Grams' long-running con, canceled this year for obvious reasons but running a virtual program on Facebook this weekend.

Grantee Spotlights
Engaging to protect our water
By Sabrina L. Miller
After a string of groundbreaking environmental victories over the last 50 years – from banning phosphates in detergent to successfully lobbying Congress for the passage of 1972's Clean Water Act – the Alliance for the Great Lakes has become the nation's leading voice for protecting one of the world's most precious sources of fresh water.
A half-century on, with a firm vision of what needs to be done, the Alliance is now focused more than ever on how its work is done. That means an inclusive approach to meeting its mission by advocating for access to clean water in low-income communities and communities of color throughout the Great Lakes region. Many of these communities have borne the brunt of Great Lakes problems.
"From grass-tops to grassroots, we're working to bridge the gap, because the power to solve complex water challenges lies at the intersection of authentic community engagement and public policy making," said Crystal M.C. Davis, the Alliance's vice president of policy and strategic engagement.
Davis, in fact, has adopted the mantra "Shut up & listen" – an ethos she says guides the Alliance's work with communities on the ground and shapes policy proposals that meet the direct needs of residents and stakeholders. It includes strategic partnerships with both grassroots community organizations and corporations – from the Oneida Nation in Wisconsin to Bell's Brewery in Michigan.
In support of its frontline community partners, the Alliance is working to bring an environmental justice commitment to advocacy, ranging from replacing toxic lead service lines and ridding toxic algae blooms to banning plastics and reducing agricultural run-off across all eight Great Lakes states. It also has joined the longstanding fight against municipal water shutoffs in Great Lakes cities – an ongoing crisis for families and homeowners that came to a head during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Headquartered in Chicago, the Alliance has offices in four other Great Lakes states and a robust network of partners and 20,000 volunteers. Under the leadership of President Joel Brammeier, its program priorities are reflected in five topline policy asks for Congress and the Biden Administration in 2021:
Prioritizing environmental justice–Addressing the unfair and disproportionate impacts of pollution and repairing the harm it causes through changes to implementation of Great Lakes restoration and clean water programs.
Increasing water infrastructure funding and stopping water shutoffs—With a goal of $100 billion in funding over the next five years to fix failing water systems in the Great Lakes region.
Strengthening the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and clean water protections—Advocating full funding for restoration projects and fully staffing federal environmental and public health agencies.
Advancing efforts to stop invasive carp—Funding and implementing year one of an Illinois lock-and-dam project designed to stop invasive carp
Addressing agricultural pollution that drives harmful algae blooms—Using the full extent of federal clean water authority and funding to reduce toxic algae.
The pandemic quashed formal plans for the Alliance's 50th anniversary celebration in 2020. But a year later, a virtual event in June called the "Great Blue Benefit 2021" allowed stakeholders from throughout the region to reflect on the group's accomplishments, partnerships and ongoing work.
Many referenced the effective public and private sector partnerships that have advanced the mission of the small but doggedly dedicated organization founded in 1970 by Lee Botts as the Lake Michigan Federation. In 2005, the organization expanded its focus to include the entire lakes basin.
"They understand what it means to have a traditional environmental organization work hand in hand with a frontline organization at the intersection of environment, health and racial justice," said Kim Foreman, executive director of Environmental Health Watch in Cleveland, Ohio.
"We look forward to what we can accomplish together."
The Joyce Foundation has been a supporter of the Alliance for the Great Lakes since 1978.
"We've been so excited to see the Alliance's expanded focus to address water challenges that are often most severe for people of color and people of lower income in our region," said Joyce Foundation President Ellen Alberding. "None of this happens without great leadership."
Volunteers gather for the Alliance's "Adopt-a-Beach" clean-up program along the Lake Michigan shore in Hartigan Beach Park in Chicago. The clean-up has been held annually since 1991.
Wiora named emerging tech leader
Lynne Wiora, the Foundation's grant manager, has been recognized as an emerging technology leader in philanthropy.

Lead in school drinking water

Fifty years on, Alliance for the Great Lakes expands environmental justice advocacy through inclusion and partnerships.
Illinois makes history against climate change
The Foundation congratulates all of its grantees and coalition partners who worked for years with perseverance and commitment to pass a historic new Illinois law making the state a national leader in the battle against climate change.


Your style is a personal statement.
I recently determined that I need to graduate from the Great Clips hair styling past I have maintained since my college days. I've been on the lookout for a good place to try, and came across Emerge on Yelp. I couldn't be happier with how things turned out.
I just moved to Denver and was nervous to try someone new. I'm so glad I took a chance with Ashley. She did a great job. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. If you're needing someone that listens and makes you feel comfortable, Ashley is your girl.
I had my first experience with Emerge about 10 weeks ago and loved my experience. I have another appointment in a few weeks and hope to make this salon my new 'go-to' for hair services!
Love Emerge! From the glass of tea (or wine), the relaxing scalp massage during the shampoo, the great consult about style, friendly service, nice products, and cohesiveness of the stylists as they work together. Best of all, I get the best cut I've had in town!
We are a collaborative, modern, intentional community focused on the art of beauty.
We believe in beauty, and we strive to reflect the beauty we see around us through the way we treat our guests, each other and our planet.
We want every guest who exits our salon to feel more beautiful, energized and more equipped to feel that way every day!

Daily Game Deals - September 26, 2015
Dane Trimble September 26, 2015
Spectral Rails - 77% Off!
From BGG:
"For years prospectors, speculators, and frontier folk flocked to remote areas of the American Southwest in search of their fortunes. Makeshift towns cropped up around rich mines of copper, silver, gold and other precious commodities, only to fade away as the resources ran out. Now only ghost towns are left as testament to the community that once lived there. While the lucky ones made their fortunes; most folks barely scratched out a meager existence in these harsh and lonely towns. Some died lonely deaths in these places far from home, and now their souls wander around these ghost towns haunting them until the day when their soul can return home to achieve final peace. The ghost trains are these lost souls' ticket to rest. These spectral trains glide majestically along ethereal rails looking for lost souls and give them passage homeward. You are the engineer of a ghost train. Your job is to find lost souls in various ghost towns and deliver them to their home towns so that they can achieve final peace
In Spectral Rails players are Engineers of Ghost Trains traveling through the American Southwest. Each player uses their standard set of Ether cards (1-4) to move, picking up souls and delivering them to Ghost Towns. As you move, you expend Ether to lay track behind. Other players can move along on your Ether track for free, but you may never travel along your own Ether.
As you lay down more track, your old Ether disperses -- you can pull up your track to clear the way for yourself or to leave someone in the lurch.
A portion of the game revolves around managing your discard pile, as you only get half of your ether cards back each turn. But most of the game comes down to proper planning along with timing your movement to take advantage of what other people have left you, while trying to disallow easy passage for others."
Hotel Samoa - 70% Off!
"Samoa. A popular vacation resort, where groups of tourists arrive every week. The hotel owners' only care is to give these tourists the stay of their life - and of course to rid them of as much money as possible.
Each round, new tourists of various nationalities will arrive at the island, and new upgrades in the form of build tiles will be available to buy for your hotel. Players will simultaneously choose one of their price cards to play, which indicates both your bid for building a hotel upgrade, and the price you set on your hotel rooms. The tourists will of course seek out the cheapest hotels first, so you must carefully plan when to demand sky high prices, and when to drop prices low in order to attract the tourists right under your opponents' noses. All the tourists have different personalities and abilities - so be sure to get the ones that benefit you the most. And of course you can enhance your hotel by building extra rooms, a swimming pool, or perhaps a luxury suite? In the end, it's the cash that counts.
This is a fast and varied game of medium-light complexity, and as most decicions are made simultaneously by the players, the game has very little down time."
Age Of Gods - 49% Off!
"In this game the players are ancient gods that are trying to make their chosen tribes prosper and conquer the land. The twist is that the gods/players don't know all their chosen tribes at the beginning of the game, these are given to them only every other round.
There are 24 different tribes which start on predefined spaces on the board. These tribes are divided into four different levels and have as many counters on the board at the beginning of the game as their level indicates (1, 2, 3 or 4 tokens).
The biggest part of the game are the battles between the tribes. The funny part is that the players are not restricted to use their tribes in the fighting, they can make other tribes fight among themselves.
If you read French, check out the link to the official web site in the links section."
Help Me - 48% Off!
"Polar bears, koalas, emperor penguins, cute little panda bears – they all need your help to survive, but alas only one species (and one player) can come out on top in Help Me!
The game includes 30 animal tiles, with six different types of animals, each valued 1-5. To set up the game, randomly create a 5x6 grid of animal tiles. Each player secretly chooses one of the six animal character tiles to see which animal they want to save.
On a turn, a player chooses any tile or stack of tiles and moves the tile/stack orthogonally onto an adjacent tile/stack. You can't move a tile to an empty space. When no more tiles/stacks can be moved, the game ends. Each player then reveals his animal character and takes all stacks that have that type of animal on top. The player scores one point for each tile he collects; in addition, if any of the type of animal are within a stack (not on top), the player scores points equal to the value of that buried animal tile.
The rules include a team variant in which players combine their scores at the end of the game, but don't know which animals their teammates are trying to save. Watch for tears and other clues of sadness when particular animals disappear from the board..."
Blueprints - 32% Off!
"In Blueprints, players are architects who must use different colored dice to build three different structures from blueprints, with the dice providing different advantages to you."
Onward to Venus - 29% Off!
"Onward to Venus is based on the Doctor Grordbort graphic novels from writer/artist Greg Broadmore, with those books being a parody of sorts of the British Empire in the late 19th century, but instead of the race for Africa, we now have the exploitation of the Solar System, which is populated by various natives who resent the Earthling settlers.
The game Onward to Venus takes lots of artwork from the books and mixes it together to create an empire-building game set in the Solar System. The core rules are fairly straightforward, and a game can be completed in 90 minutes. The game is played over three turns; in each turn you whizz around the planets and moons claiming tiles. The tiles grant you cards, allow you to build a factory or mine, let you hunt strange beasts, or simply earn you some money. Other tiles allow you to attack other players or add to the crisis level on the planet/moon in question. You have to be careful with crisis tiles as if you let too many build up, bad stuff — Martian invasions, robot rebellions, space pirates, etc. — starts happening."
Talisman: The Harbinger Expansion - 52% Off!
"As dire omens fill the skies, demons roam the countryside, and plagues ravage civilization, the Harbinger wanders throughout the realm of Talisman, prophesying the imminent end of the world. If you encounter him, he may help you stave off the end of the world and let you peer into the future — or you may be attacked by demon horsemen and stalked by cursed followers.
Time is running out. When the Harbinger entered the realm he brought with him a prophecy of impending doom and a series of seven Omens to watch for: when the seventh appears, the end is upon you. Talisman (fourth edition): The Harbinger Expansion features four unique decks of Omen cards, each making manifest a different downfall. In one Omen deck the constellations align, threatening the extinction of magic. In another, the dead rise from their graves and battle to overthrow the living. In another, the time of judgement arrives bringing with it war, famine, death, plagues, and other forms of destruction.
In the fourth, the world shatters into many pieces and the terrain transforms unpredictably. New Terrain cards enter the game and alter the landscape, supplanting fields with barrens, deserts with floodlands, and cities with bogs. As doom draws nearer, more and more of the realm is transformed until the seventh Omen appears and all of Talisman becomes a deadly devastation.
In game terms, when the Harbinger is in your region, you must draw from the peril-filled Harbinger deck instead of that region's normal Adventure deck whenever you are instructed to draw cards. When you draw an Event, the Harbinger moves into your space, but has no ill effects upon you. However, you move into the space occupied by the Harbinger, you must roll a single die. The result could grant you a second turn, or let you look at the top three cards of any deck you choose. It might force you to populate your space with vicious enemies, treacherous followers, and unpredictable events. Worst of all, your result might cause the current Omen to be discarded, activating the next Omen and hastening the advent of the end times."
Croak! - $16.00!
"In Croak!, you have a queen frog and servant frogs, and while moving them around, and if you land on an opposing frog, you eat it, thereby removing it. If your queen is eaten, you are out of the game. As you move, the tiles you land on can add effects to your movement."
Relic Expedition - $35.00 with FREE shipping!
"Relic Expedition is a jungle exploration game with a variable board, hand management, collectible treasures, and dangerous wild animals!
The game board starts small, with only a few of the tiles revealed. As players explore the jungle, new tiles are revealed and the board grows in unpredictable ways, making for a completely different game each time. Hidden in the jungle, you'll find six different types of treasures made of six different materials. To win, you must collect four matching treasures — either four of the same type or four of the same material — and fly away from the jungle to victory.
If you hope to travel through the terrain and survive the dangers of the jungle to get that treasure, though, you'll also need supplies like machetes, mountain climbing gear, panther traps, tranquilizer darts, vines, and more. You carry treasures and supplies in your backpack, but your backpack space is limited! As the game progresses, you'll have to choose carefully. As you find more treasure, you'll have to make tough decisions about which supplies you have to leave behind."

Shipwrecked is now on Patreon!
After a lot of thought and discussion (and, a pretty weird meeting as you can see in the video), we've decided to launch a Patreon. We're hoping that this will help support us financially as a group, enable us to make more content more often, and give us a way to connect with you all on a regular basis!
What is Patreon? It's an awesome way of crowdfunding that helps creators be supported directly by their audience. Rather than a one-time pledge, like on Kickstarter, you can pledge to support us at a monthly level. That way, we continually have money coming in for all the various fees we have, writing we're doing, or on-set production costs. And you get cool things in return and become a part of our Shipwrecked Patreon community.
$1/month – Each month you will get access to a written update detailing what all we've been up to.
$5/month – Not only will you will get a written update detailing what we've all been up to in the month, but you'll also unlock an exclusive patrons-only vlog as well as early access to all our videos!
$10/month – All of the above, as well as access to a monthly 2-hour Shipwrecked livestream just for patrons.
$15/month – At this level we'll send you a monthly postcard featuring a beautiful BTS image from one of our productions or a photo from one of our vintage shoots, signed by us and sent to your home. You'll also get access to our exclusive bts twitter with production updates, just for patrons. Plus all of the above!
$25/month – BTS heaven! At this level, you'll receive access to pinterest boards, scripts, production diaries, spreadsheets–every behind the scenes aspect of our production process. Plus all of the above!
$50/month – At this level you will receive a handwritten note either from a historical figure of note or from a Shipwrecked character. Always wanted to correspond with Lady Lenore? Now's your chance! Not only that, but each month you will get an audio download of a different Poe Party author's actor reading an excerpt from one of their works. Sean Persaud reading Poe? Joey Richter reading Hemingway? Yes please. Also includes all of the above.
$100/month – This level ensures you will get your name in the credits of each video you help support. You'll also get an exclusive signed poster for the projects we complete that you've supported, and a monthly digital movie night with those of us here at Shipwrecked–and you get to help us choose the movie! Also includes all of the above.
$250/month – At this level you will get a monthly half-hour skype session with us. Not only that, but you get to name a character in one of our projects! Also includes every other tier reward.
We also have goals for fun things that we'll do when we reach certain funding milestones! Our first goal is to reach $250/month, which once we hit, we'll be covering all our expenses we have as an operating group. Stay tuned to see what the higher level goals will be – there's some fun stuff in store!
We are so excited to embark on this journey, and we hope you will be too. Rather than launching mini-crowdfunding campaigns like we did with American Whoopee and Cryptmas Carol, we hope that having a Patreon will enable to us receive support on a rolling basis and that will help us make more stuff more often. And help support us as we go on meetings, write pitches, and plan for the future.
So, what are you waiting for? Join us on Patreon!

This year's Paris trip was another great success. Sixteen Year 10 Art and Language students travelled to the French capital, staying in a hostel for five days.
They had a packed programme with activities and visits to monuments including the Tour Montparnasse, the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs Elysées, Versailles, the Orsay Museum, the Museum of the Orangerie, Notre Dame and of course the world famous Eiffel Tower. The students also took a walk through The Marais Quarter and spent an evening on a river cruise.
The teachers and students ate in different restaurants every night allowing them to experience different facets of the French cuisine. Their accommodation was very conveniently situated just a short Métro ride away from the Gare du Nord where we took the Eurostar home.
Throughout the visit, Mr Mandin kept us up to date through his daily blog.
Cynthia Rosser told us "I really enjoyed Paris because there was so many cultural places to see like the Art Museums which were helpful for my art project and very interesting to see the different styles of work. I really liked the architecture of most of the buildings which were old and elegant. The meals were very different every night but all very nice. I really enjoyed the night cruise that we went on, it was fun."
Margaret Kendal said "Paris was an exciting trip, exploring the different areas in Paris was fun. We went to view 2 art museums which were amazingly interesting. When walking through the streets, I could clearly see the buildings detailed designs and the effort put into these buildings. Every night we had a different dish which I had never tasted before and I am glad to say I loved them all. The accommodation was great. I had a good sleep every night. Overall, I think the best night was the last when we went on a cruise and saw the Eiffel Tower sparkle; it was breath-taking.
Kiri-Anne Highes shared that "Overall the trip was a really amazing and enjoyable experience that I would quite happily do again. The train rides to Paris were smooth and although cramped, quite enjoyable. Although the days were long and extremely tiring, I did not mind one bit because it meant we got to visit numerous landmarks. I specifically enjoyed the river cruise as it allowed us to see the many famous places within Paris at night. I am also happy we managed to squeeze in a memorable visit to Sacré-Coeur and the Eiffel Tower. The hostel we stayed at was really cosy and I liked the fact that they had a karaoke night. Although the WIFI was sometimes slow and at other times did not work at all, it did not really matter as they still had things we could do like a pool table. I tried to speak French as much as possible to develop my vocabulary. I now know roughly how to navigate the Métro as at one point I was able to lead, with the teacher's support. I want to thank the teachers for organising such a memorable trip that I could not have been happier to have been on.
Rebecca Withers said of her experience "Tour Montparnasse was a great way to start the trip and gave an amazing view of Paris. We could also spot iconic landmarks and see some of the places we would later visit. I enjoyed the Métro although at times it could become intimidating but I loved being allowed the freedom to navigate and lead the group ourselves. The hostel was a nice place to stay as the rooms were lovely and we could be around many different cultures constantly (although the WIFI connection was awfull). The 2 museums were interesting and a pleasant change from the busy streets and Métro but at times a little boring for some of the French students. The Arc de Triomphe also gave a lovely view of the city and was a fantastic site to experience. My favourite part was definitely the river cruise – well worth doing in the evening no matter how late it gets. I absolutely loved it and the site of the Eiffel Tower at night was breath-taking. I enjoyed some of the chaos and flexibility of some of the plans that allowed us to partially decide what we wanted to do. All the food was lovely and it was great that everyone tried what we were given with no complaints. Overall, an increadible experience. Paris is so beautiful, thank you."

Midlands manufacturer makes Times top 50 international growers
Samuel Taylor Limited had international sales totalling £6.6m back in 2010, currently that figure is £21.6m
Midlands-based precision components manufacturer Samuel Taylor Limited (STL) has come 48th in The Times International Track league table 2013.
The Redditch firm's 81.17% international sales growth makes it one of the top exporters in the country, with 85% of the company's orders coming from abroad.
The precision components manufacturer has seen a sharp rise in revenue from international sales since 2010, increasing from £6.6m to a current level of £21.6m.
STL managing director, Alastair Gordon, said: "We are very proud to be named as one of Britain's Top 50 SMEs in terms of international sales growth. Plus, we are the highest ranking Midlands manufacturer which is a massive achievement for us, especially considering that Advantage West Midlands rejected our efforts a few years ago. Not only did this cause substantial additional costs and lots of work for us, but it also resulted in the near failure of a major project.
"The only way for exporters to succeed is to identify the customers that knock on their door and pitch to them directly. There is lots of bureaucracy involved in the export process and many people try to stop you, but I would advise anyone to ignore them and simply go for it."
STL is a member of several industry networks including Made in the Midlands (MIM), the Engineering Industries Association (EIA) and the Hereford and Worcester Chamber of Commerce.
It exports precious metal pressings and components to over 26 countries worldwide, including the United States, China, Middle East and Europe.

Gibraltar sets out sweeping new financial reforms for 2020
Christopher Cooper-Ind
Gibraltar, the British Overseas Territory, has announced a major overhaul of its financial services regulation across all sectors as of next month.
The sweeping reforms, known as the Legislative Reform Programme (LRP), will come into effect on 15 January 2020, following the unanimous passing of the BOT's Financial Services Act which was published in May this year.
The Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC), the local regulatory body, described the LRP as providing:
A harmonised approach to authorisation and obtaining permission to carry on regulated activities
A Regulated Individuals' Regime
A new Decision Making Committee
Procedural clarity and consistency across the board
Harmonised cross-sectoral powers and related processes
The new legislation consolidates more than 90 separate pieces of legislation into one framework specifically for financial services operating in the territory.
The government described the Act as being fit for a "modern international financial services jurisdiction."
Many of the new rules are a transposing of existing legislation, with the aim of making it more accessible and easier to navigate.
Albert Isola, Gibraltar's minister for financial services, said: 'I am delighted that this massive legislative project is now close to being finalised and will be commenced on January 15, 2020."
Isola added: "I would like to thank both the industry and the regulator for their very close cooperation over the last three years on this important work; an excellent example of working in partnership."

Loyola Law School > The LLS Difference > Faces of LLS > The Dotted Line Reporter
The Dotted Line Reporter
Student Blog: The Dotted Line Reporter
Christoffer Gaddini '15, Edo Azran '15, Kate Brown '15, Danielle Duarte '15 and Johnny Storms '15
The Dotted Line Reporter was born out of the idea that success comes from forging one's own path. For five students taking Professor Dougherty's Entertainment Law course last fall, that meant starting a blog that could contribute to the discussion of the ever-evolving nature of the entertainment industry.
Editor-in-Chief Christoffer Gaddini '15 spearheaded the effort and recruited Edo Azran '15, Kate Brown '15, Danielle Duarte '15 and Johnny Storms '15 to join his cause. "I am very fortunate to be surrounded by amazing people here at Loyola, which made the assembly of our team easy to do," he said. While the group lacked prior blog experience, they shared a passion for the entertainment industry and its intersection with the law.
"Our mission is simple: to create a space where law students, lawyers and creative professionals can come together to discuss the business and legal developments of the entertainment industry," said Gaddini. Their innovative approach enables widespread exposure to their writing and the opportunity to pick up new skills in digital media. Through the development of The Dotted Line Reporter, the group became well versed in web design, content marketing, social media and the art of targeting viewers.
"We have a few goals," said Brown. "One is to just create consistent, quality articles that we believe are interesting and informative. Another goal is to show potential employers that we are creative self-starters. The legal climate is not incredibly hospitable, and we all realize that we have to set ourselves apart from other law students," she said. Moving forward, they hope to garner advertisers and sponsors to offset the costs of running the blog and, perhaps, even make a profit.
Azran took the lead on the web design, while the others cultivated content in preparation for the launch. As for subject matter, each blogger may write about any facet of the industry that they wish. Each student has a preferred area: Storms for sports; Azran for music; Duarte for social media and privacy rights; Brown for fine art and new media; and Gaddini for modern art and digital media.
Since they are all enrolled in entertainment-focused classes, inspiration for new articles happens in the classroom frequently. "By choosing a topic and then sitting down to research, write and edit an article about that topic, we actually get to master the material. It's much more fun to take what we're learning in the classroom and apply it to real-world scenarios, rather than to just study for a one-shot exam," said Brown.
"For example, in my Digital Media and the Law class with the outstanding Professor Freed, we discuss new developments in the digital media space on a weekly basis," said Gaddini. "This sort of educated discussion with my professors and classmates has been the inspiration for many of our articles."
They have received support from their peers and Loyola faculty over the blogosphere. Associate Professor Elizabeth Pollman gave The Dotted Line Reporter a shout-out on Loyola's faculty blog, Summary Judgments. Gaddini wrote a guest post on Jury of Peers, Loyola's student-run blog, about the group's motivation behind the project. In addition, many practicing attorneys have expressed encouragement and praise for their thoughtful articles.
"I am continuously impressed by my co-bloggers," said Brown. "They're all talented and brilliant individuals, and I love working with them. No one has an ego we're more concerned about our effort as a group. We motivate and challenge one another, but we also give each other some grace. After all, we're busy working students, and there's only so much time in the day!"

Bring law to allow women inside places of worship
Bhumata Brigade founder Trupti Desai talks about her firebrand activism that has caught the imagination of people
Geetanjali Minhas | May 16, 2016 | Mumbai
#Haji Ali #Shani Shingnapur temple #Trupti Desai #Bhumata Brigade #temple ban
Trupti Desai, founder, Bhumata Brigade
Bhumata Brigade founder Trupti Desai, sporting a short haircut and wearing a Nehru jacket, led a group of women into the sanctum sanctorum of Maharashtra's Shani Shingnapur temple, dramatically ending a 400-year-old ban on the entry of women. Desai talks about her firebrand activism that has caught the imagination of people.
Are you crusading against gender divide or discrimination against women in places of worship?
The constitution gave right to gender equality in the 1950s itself. Yet 68 years after independence, we are struggling against gender divide. At many places of worship only men are allowed, and women are not allowed. We are fighting for gender equality in every sphere. It is a different thing that this agitation has started from a temple. Whenever and wherever the issue concerns equal rights to women or denial [of them] due to cultural reasons, we will continue to raise our voice against that. Prime minister Narendra Modi had promised 'achchhe din' for all. We are going to meet him next month and seek a central law to allow women inside places of worship. Instead of filing a PIL every now and then or protesting, women must be given their right to places of worship.
How are women responding to your fight?
We have absolute support except from those in villages in the vicinity of temples at Trimbakeshwar, Shani Shingnapur or Kolhapur. Ninety-five percent men and women are supporting us and people want equal rights for women.
How do you plan to counter the mindsets deeply rooted in religion and culture?
Our movement was never against god or religion. We are fighting for women and men of all castes and religions and we have their support. Even with our andolan at Haji Ali Dargah, we do not want to hurt [religious] sentiments, but we are fighting against injustice and discrimination meted out to women wherever it is taking place. If people want to give it a religious colour, we are not bothered. This is 21st century and we will take along people from all religions and castes in our struggle. We are taught right from school that "Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Christians are all brethrens." Then which fight are we talking about? We all live together as neighbours. If we fight in the name of religion, India will disintegrate. This is also the message of our andolan that people from all castes and religion should join hands.
The Haji Ali for All Forum recently said they are dissociating themselves from you for going inside the dargah as against the original plan of peaceful protests outside.
No. I told them that on April 28, the Haji Ali protest did not turn aggressive as had been agreed upon by all the forum members. Instead of running away scared, members should have stayed there and gone inside the inner chamber. If I am praying outside the dargah, then it is my right to go inside and pray too. What is wrong in that? The forum did not agree with this and I withdrew my support. Our approach under the Bhumata Brigade is aggressive. Unlike our earlier approach when we announced our plans before going, and it was called a publicity stunt, next time we will go unannounced.
How do you deal with threats arising from your crusade?
I was attacked at Kohlapur, Shani Shingnapur, and there was an attempt to attack me at Haji Ali too. We are working for the right cause as provided under the constitution. I do not think we are doing anything wrong.
You are zealous, bold and aggressive. What motivates you?
By nature I am aggressive and have a strong willpower. Even if someone comes to attack us, I [will] not break or cow down and that is the way I work.
No one knew about you before Shani Shingnapur incident. Were you active on social issues earlier?
Since 2003, I have been working for the state of Maharashtra from Pune, where I live. It was after the Shani Shingnapur protests that our name has spread through the country, thanks to the media. In 2010, I established Bhumata Brigade to fight against atrocities on women, corruption issues, problems faced by farmers, wages and rights of workers, etc. My big success was [with regard to] a fraud in Ajit Cooperative Bank associated with former Maharashtra minister Ajit Pawar where I helped 30,000 people get back their money. We also lent our support to the Lokpal issue, protested for black money recovery and against the Nirbhaya gang rape.
Though you have been taking up these causes, such cases and incidents are only increasing. How do you plan to tackle the trend?
For this, all women including those in villages must come together and stand united for action. Wherever such incidents are happening, women must hit the streets and if that happens, eve-teasing and other crimes will come down by 30-40 percent. We will now press that respect towards women be inculcated in the minds of children right from school.
You are fighting a battle for societal change which requires change in mindsets. How will you overcome this?
Yes. In Shani Shingnapur, I was told that not just me but even my future generations will not be able to change the tradition. But we changed that culture in four months. So definitely the change in society is coming, though it will take time. We will have to be firm and take a bold stand and maintain continuity. I am now going to Sangli where 50 girls have left college due to eve-teasing. This behaviour must stop. In my 13-14 sabhas at Latur, Kolhapur, Sholapur, Nashik, Aurangabad and other places, we are doing awareness campaigns to bring about change in mindsets. Like our aggressive approach against women discrimination in places of worship, in cases of rapes and other crimes across the country, we will adopt the same approach.
What is your family's reaction to your activism?
Whether it's my mother or in-laws, they all have been fully supportive. My mother, who was a social worker, got me involved in her work. She passed away last month before seeing the success in Shani Shingnapur. Even my seven-year-old son, whom I have met for barely four-five days in the last five months, tells me to keep fighting for such causes. If a small child can understand this, why not older people? n

Early exit poll predicts Volodymyr Zelensky's party will triumph in Ukrainian parliamentary election
Euronews.com
An early exit poll published by a Ukrainian NGO says Volodymyr Zelensky's Servant of the People party is on course to win 44.4% percentage of the vote.
The party, which is led by Dmytro Razumkov, is on course to win the most seats in the Ukrainian parliament after Zelensky called a snap election following his inauguration as president in May.
Speaking to reporters after the exit poll was published, Razumkov predicted his party had won all of the constituencies in Kiev.
The Opposition Platform party – which calls for a restoration of ties with Russia – came second with 12.5% of the vote.
Former president Petro Poroshenko's European Soldiarity parliament came in third with just 8.5% of the vote.
Former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko's Fatherland party came fourth with 7.7% of the vote.
The poll by the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation is based on voter surveys as of 6pm local time (5pm CEST).
If the early exit poll results prove accurate, Zelensky is likely to have confirmed his grip on power after his surprise victory against incumbent Poroshenko in the presidential run-off in April.
Zelensky, who shot to fame playing the president on Ukrainian television, won the second round run-off runoff with 73.2% of the vote despite having no political experience with an anti-corruption, anti-oligarch message.
Speaking on Sunday, Zelensky said he wants to invite the Voice party, headed by rock star Sviatoslav Vakarchuk, for talks about forming a governing coalition in parliament.
A senior member of the Voice party, which came fifth in the poll with 6%, separately said it was open to an alliance with new political forces provided they were not backed by oligarchs.

On Armed Forces Day, about 150 residents of Snow Shoe and the Mountaintop area gathered at the Snow Shoe Fire Company grounds to rededicate the town's military veterans memorial plaque on its 75th anniversary.
The May 19 ceremony followed the original 1943 service's program. It opened with a welcome by Snow Shoe Mayor William Dudish and a blessing from Pastor Catherine Dittman.
Following Dittman's remarks, the monument was unveiled by several Mountaintop community members.
A dark gray plaque, measuring approximately 6 feet by 9 feet, features an eagle with outstretched wings. The text reads, "Dedicated to the men and women of this mountain community who gave themselves in defense of freedom throughout the world," with the logos of each of the five branches of the American military below.
The monument originally was conceived by community and fire company members in 1942, at the height of World War II. By early 1943, the plans for the project were in full swing, with the hope that the plaque and a flagpole would be finished in time to be dedicated on Decoration Day of that year. On May 30, 1943, a flag-raising and dedication of the plaque and flagpole was held on the lawn of the Snow Shoe Fire Company.
The original plaque featured an honor roll of veterans' names, but by the 1970s, the plaque had deteriorated badly. The honor roll was removed and replaced by a white plywood façade. Other restorations were made for the U.S. Bicentennial celebration in 1976, followed by new paint and other touchups in 1984 and a new plywood front in 2014.The original flagpole was replaced in the early 2000s.
Roger Elling, of the Centre County Veterans Affairs Department, delivered the address at the rededication ceremony.
U.S. Rep. Glenn Thompson, R-Howard, and state Rep. Mike Hanna, D-Lock Haven, also addressed the crown, thanking those veterans from the Mountaintop area who gave their lives for freedom.
The service concluded with a volley of rifle shots by members of Snow Shoe VFW Post 5644 and a benediction by Father Michael Wolfe. A community picnic followed at Snow Shoe Park.

Take a moment to visualize a physician traveling home in a cab from a long day. Stuck in traffic, our hypothetical physician sees this as the perfect time to catch up on email and or to do non-care-related administrative tasks. At the end of the cab ride, he or she puts the phone down to pay the driver. Being tired -- in a moment of thoughtlessness -- the doctor accidentally walk away from the cab, leaving the phone on the seat. One more lost device.
This scenario -- or one very much like it -- unfolds daily all over the country. Mobile devices become lost or stolen on a minute-by-minute basis. It's an unfortunate but inevitable consequence of carrying a valuable, easily-resalable piece of equipment with us everywhere we go. Of course, those of us in information security understand the security consequences this type of event can have: It's a huge deal.
But the short-term security risk isn't why I'm bringing it up. I'm bringing it up because of what happens next. Namely, what happens after the device goes missing?
How Long Has It Been Missing?
Many employees, both in and out of healthcare, treat personally owned devices differently from corporate-owned devices, even though they may not realize they are doing so -- at least with regard to how they respond and whom they inform when the device goes missing.
The employee's first priority is usually to get the device replaced as quickly as possible since they rely on it so heavily to do their job. So in the case of an employer-issued device, their first action will usually be to report the loss to IT -- since this is how they'll get a new one provisioned.
For a personally owned device, their first step will probably be to purchase a replacement, configure it to connect to allowed corporate services, and get back to what they were doing. Notifying the IT organization won't be their first -- or even second -- thought.
See the problem? If not, here's a hint: It has to do with breach disclosure.
From a breach disclosure perspective, loss or theft of organization-owned equipment -- be it laptops, mobile phones, or media -- has a built-in stopgap or checkpoint. Because personnel have to come to IT when the device goes missing (for example, in order to get a replacement), this means that IT will be informed about the loss. IT can and usually has set up processes to take appropriate measures at that point, including initiating the breach notification procedures should the situation warrant it (for example, if the device contains protected health information).
But when an employee doesn't notify IT because they are solely responsible for replacing the device, that stopgap isn't there. Initiating the breach disclosure process requires a different channel, one that many organizations haven't yet set up.
From a covered entity standpoint, we all know disclosure obligations are heavy. While most industries are impacted by breach disclosure regulatory requirements to one degree or another (for example, due to the number of states that now have legislation to this effect), the burden in healthcare is much greater. Non-healthcare organizations have to report breaches to the people impacted; healthcare has to do that and (potentially) report to the HHS and/or the media. Other organizations have deadlines to report in certain states (for example California), whereas healthcare has a ticking clock (60 day deadline) each and every time it happens. In that context, it very well can be a worst-case scenario when a device containing PHI goes missing and IT or compliance are out of the loop.
The Interim Final breach disclosure rule does provide some leeway for breaches that occur when the covered entity is not aware that a breach occurred, but that leeway does not extend arbitrarily in every case. Specifically, 45 CFR 164.404(a)(2) indicates that, "A covered entity shall be deemed to have knowledge of a breach if such breach is known, or by exercising reasonable diligence would have been known, to any person, other than the person committing the breach, who is a workforce member or agent of the covered entity." Meaning, you're on the hook if you could have implemented some reasonable process but didn't.
This is important for organizations to realize -- particularly because most covered entities already have mechanisms in place governing PHI exposure in other areas (e.g., misdirected faxes, lost laptops). The case could be made -- in the cold light of hindsight -- that a covered entity had the opportunity to act based on other action they've taken in other areas. So doing nothing just because the employee owns the device is probably not a recipe for success here.
Recognizing that use of mobile devices to store, access, and transmit PHI is on the upswing, how can organizations make sure that their bases stay covered? Furthermore, as organizations expand the footprint of employee-owned equipment to include laptops, media and other devices in addition to phones, how can organizations implement other, non-provisioning-dependent stopgaps that notify IT in the event of loss?
There are two types of strategies that are particularly effective in this area: a technical strategy and a procedural one.
On the procedural side, most covered entities already conduct training for all personnel (volunteers, medical staff, employees) -- the by-now-infamous "mandatory HIPAA training." Helping employees to understand the potential impact of a lost mobile device, and why that might necessitate engaging the incident management process, can be a great first step. The advantage with this approach is that it's easy and cheap to implement, while the downside is that there still won't be a checkpoint to ensure notification to IT or compliance.
On a technical front, products in the mobile device management (MDM) space can help. They provide two advantages. First, many of those products can encrypt PHI stored on the device (thereby potentially lessening the impact of a breach). But they also have another effect. Because staff now need to come to IT to provision access and enable the device, the missing notification stopgap gets reintroduced. The disadvantages here are expense, as well as the configuration effort of provisioning employee-owned devices with the MDM software. Staff (particularly physicians) may resist this approach at first, which is why selecting a vendor on the basis of usability is helpful.
Of course, as with most things, the most effective scenario is probably a blended approach of both training and technical enforcement: By helping staff to understand the consequences of a lost device, as well as building in the back-end stopgap, you can bring personal devices back in line and make sure your notification processes are doing what you expect.
