Learn more about the GDPR from PRIVO's experts in the children's online privacy industry.
The GDPR went into effect May 25, 2018. The regulation focuses on providing data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union and all individuals whose data is processed by an EU controller regardless of location. It also includes special protections for children's data.
Children are vulnerable and need protection when online services are collecting and processing their personal data because they are often less aware of the risks involved when using Information Society Services ( apps, websites and connected devices). Here we take a closer look at the GDPR and Children and its impact on online services.
Children merit special protection with regard to processing their data for marketing. Recital 38 protects young users because they may be less aware of the risks, consequences and safeguards concerned with marketing.
Familiar with COPPA but new to the GDPR? Listen in as Claire Quinn and Jeff Brennan compare GDPR vs. COPPA in our on-demand webinar.
The GDPR sets the age of consent at 16, but individual member states may lower this as far as 13. A child below the age of consent cannot provide consent for themselves. When consent is the lawful basis for processing a child's data reasonable efforts to verify that the person giving consent is old enough to do so, are required. Online services must obtain consent from the holder of parental responsibility for the child. View our Age of Digital Consent Map to see the age determined by each EU member state.
There are other key requirements when it comes to processing a child's data such as clear, child friendly privacy notices and ensuring the child can action their rights including the right to be forgotten.
Transparency and accountability are especially important when it comes to children's data online. Lack of transparency about the nature of processing data including persistent identifiers, is a violation of the regulation. This means ensuring that any third party processors your business works with are treating personal data compliantly too. Think analytics, attribution, email service providers and web hosting services to name just a few.
If you are an online service that processes children's personal data it is vital to take the necessary steps to be GDPRkids™ compliant or risk a hefty penalty, brand damage and a loss of trust and integrity.
If you are a US based company, but process the data of children in the EU, the GDPR applies to your business.
Ensure you are jurisdictionally aware. Different national rules regarding processing exist for a reason.
Just because a service is COPPA compliant it doesn't mean it is also GDPR compliant.
Ensure you can justify your lawful basis for processing data, whether it is consent or legitimate interest.
Don't just rely on legitimate interest as an "easy way out" when consent is required.
The GDPR has changed the privacy landscape bringing the protection of personal data into sharp focus for industry and consumers.

@BuckyIsotope: Oh Magic 8-Ball, will anyone ever love me?

I came across a really simple recipe for one of my favorite Indian foods, Roti bread, today and thought I'd give it a try. As an "Everything But The…Oil" recipe, it went to bat in the test kitchen to see if it was easy and delicious enough to be considered for our product line.
For some reason I always thought Roti would be a difficult bread to make but the recipe has only six ingredients, almost all of which most people keep in their kitchens already.
The recipe I used called for Garam Masala as the spice addition but I didn't have it on hand, so I substituted with some curry powder. The curry powder still produced delicious results and added a nice yellow color to the dough.
The dough is a simple flour / water / oil mix and it needed a little resting time after mixing. Shaped into about 2″ balls and then rolled out and oiled on each side, I tossed each one individually into an oiled pan and gently cooked them on each side for less than a minute. Easy and fast, this is a shocking realization. Someone should obviously employ me in the ways of roti making full time.
The result was a fluffy yet crisp bread in a circle-like shape (hey, it was my first try, let's call me a roti maker in training) and it tasted nicely of curry. Check out the finished product below. I whipped up some curried yogurt dip with lemon and a little salt and pepper for dipping. Dinner is served! Maybe I'll throw in a vegetable and some protein…or maybe I'll just devour the whole plate full.
Want to know more about what Garam Masala really is? Read after the jump.
The composition of garam masala differs regionally, with wide variety across India. Some common ingredients are black & white peppercorns, cloves, malabar leaves, long pepper (also known as pippali), black cumin (known as shahi jeera), cumin seeds, cinnamon, black, brown, & green cardamom, nutmeg, star anise and coriander seeds. Varying combinations of these and other spices are used in regional variants of garam masala, none of which is considered more authentic than another.
Some recipes call for spices to be blended with herbs, while others grind the spices with water, vinegarcoconut milk to make a paste. In some recipes nuts, onion or garlic or other liquids such as may be added. The flavours may be carefully blended to achieve a balanced effect, or in some cases a single flavour may be emphasized for special dishes where this is desired. Usually a masala is roasted before use to release its flavours and aromas.

This project contributes new data for the approximation of the early Holocene marine reservoir effect in southeast Alaska. Variability in ocean water composition across both time and space influence the apparent radiocarbon age of marine shell, requiring local calibrations to account for the marine reservoir effect. Previously available data for the region were limited to eight data points from the northern half of southeast Alaska (weighted mean delta R of 520 +- 80, McNeely et al., 2006, accessed on the 14Chrono Marine Reservoir database at calib.org) and five points from Haida Gwaii in British Columbia (weighted mean delta R of 265 +-80, same source). We present 34 shell-wood pairs from secure contexts in early Holocene raised marine terraces from Baranof, Kupreanof, Kuiu, Heceta, Kosciusko and Prince of Wales Islands. For southern southeast Alaska in the early Holocene the average reservoir age is 710 +- 70, with a range of 240 to 1000 years (comparable to reservoir ages for coastal British Columbia in Southon and Fedje 2003 and Hutchinson et al. 2004); the resulting weighted average of delta R values is 365 +-80, ranging from -90 to 625. These data reflect relationships with McNeeley et al.'s samples both to the north and south of our sampling region, and provide confidence for future radiocarbon dating of marine shell for use in paleoshoreline modelling and dating archaeological contexts.
Delta R values calculated using online deltar software (Reimer and Reimer 2016) with IntCal13 and Marine13 calibrations (Reimer et al. 2013).


Hewlett Packard (NYSE:HPQ) on Monday unveiled a new storage service support model and gave partners a sneak peek at a cloud computing partner specialization that's slated for launch in November.
When HP launched its ServiceONE program last July, it gave partners the option of going into services deals with HP-branded services or co-branded services, but partners couldn't offer their own branded services.
Ken Archer, vice present of channels and alliances for HP's Technology Services group in the Americas, said partners that have established themselves in the storage space will be eligible to take advantage of the service support model. "We're targeting partners that have a significant brand in storage," he said.
HP is also beefing up its roster of pre-packaged HP consulting services, which partners can sell in cases where they don't have the in-house expertise to meet customers' needs.
HP is adding 22 new pre-packaged consulting offers — 10 in platform, 5 in networking and 7 in storage — to go with the nine it announced last November. HP plans to have a total of 50 pre-packaged consulting offers by the end of the year, Archer said.
"We are allowing partners to increase their services revenue and offer consulting expertise to customers," Archer said. "Partners never want to have to say no to customers when they don't have the in-house capability."
Meanwhile, HP is gearing up to launch a new PartnerONE cloud specialization this November called HP Cloud Builder Specialist. Aimed at partners that have developed skills around HP's CloudSystem private cloud offering, the new Cloud Builder Specialist will feature partner enablement and training programs for cloud infrastructure, software and services.
Mike Galane, senior director of worldwide channel marketing strategy and planning in HP's Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking (ESSN) division, said partners that have already launched Cloud Centers Of Excellence, which demonstrate HP's cloud technologies, will be rewarded with market development funds and additional rebates.
HP will also reward Cloud Builder Specialist partners for achieving specific certifications and training, according to Galane.
HP wants Cloud Builder Specialists to team up with partners in CloudAgile, the channel program it launched at Discover last June in which service providers and traditional VARs team up on hybrid cloud projects.
Cloud Builder Specialists can either act as service providers themselves or resell cloud services from a CloudAgile service provider. HP is providing financial incentives to traditional resellers that engage with CloudAgile partners, Galane said.
"There may be some ambivalence on their part because of the delayed revenue stream," he said. "We want to put together a stable of qualified Cloud Agile service providers."
Cloud Builders can also get financial rewards for the hardware that a service provider installs to run cloud services, Galane said.
"No one else has program in place where resellers can get revenue based on hardware that a service provider is putting in place," said Galane. "Resellers will get some compensation for product that the Cloud Agile service provider is putting in place to support the cloud service."
All of this requires a lot of partner-to-partner networking because not all VARs have the in-house expertise to deliver cloud solutions. HP's answer to this issue is Interchange, a social media network aimed at building collaboration among partners designing cloud offerings. HP is showing off Interchange at its Global Partner Conference this week and intends to continue fine tuning the tool over the course of 2012.
"Cloud covers such a broad area," said Galane. "We have partners that can put together all the pieces today. But for ones that need to collaborate, Interchange can help them more readily connect."

Recording production and promotion of Marquise Fair's new album «BETTER WORLD»
It was in 2018 that Marquise Fair met David Wehren through a Swiss friend living in Miami. The 1st album «Ripple» received a more than gratifying welcome, indeed 6 of the 10 tracks were played on all Swiss national radio stations. Love can be has even been played on radio stations in 28 countries.
Marquise Fair's music spreads good positive energy with engaging lyrics and catchy melodies
The recording of this album, helps an artist from a Miami ghetto who found a way out of this difficult neighborhood, music changed the life of Marquise.
Marquise BIO: -«I come from a violent ghetto. I lived with my mother and my brothers in subsidized housing. At 22, I was going to school, I was learning to play the guitar and I was composing songs. After a concert in an art gallery, Nadia, the owner offered to help me by introducing me to a friend of hers, a drummer and producer in Switzerland. David contacted me and we hit it off straight away, we were on the same musical wavelength. After a few months, David suggested that I try my luck in Switzerland. If I could get there by my own means, he would find me good plans to perform in concert and to earn money. This would allow me to finance the recording and production of my first album. So instead of going to study, I took a risk by begging while playing music in the street, I did odd jobs: digging holes, picking up stones, taking care of customers in hotels. Then I sold my guitar and bought a cheaper one. I managed to raise a few hundred dollars and in January 2018 I flew to Switzerland. After 34 hours of flight and a chaotic itinerary, I finally arrived on Swiss soil. David and I worked hard, show after show. We recorded the album ourselves. In 2017, I participated in American idol, but it wasn't really my thing because I don't like to play other people's music. And now I'm ready to share my music with the rest of the world…

I work with a Swiss guy. I am a singer, songwriter from Miami; I come from a violent neighborhood and the music very quickly imposed itself so as not to sink into the bad activities of the neighborhood. I started singing in my grandmother's gospel choir.

The Beretta M9 is celebrating 30 years of service, and what better way than with a limited edition pistol.
The U.S. Military replaced the M1911A1 with the Beretta M9 in 1985 as their primary sidearm. The Department of Defense wanted to standardize to the 9mm round to comply with NATO and chose the Beretta 92 in 1980. The pistol was put through two more trials and emerged victorious with slight changes.
The Beretta M9 is one of the easiest pistols to shoot you will ever encounter. It has low recoil, a high capacity and offers an extremely simple take down procedure. After 30 years of service as the military's primary sidearm, Beretta has released a commemoritive limited edition to celebrate. Just 2015 of these unique pistols are being produced. Complete with walnut shadow box, M9 30th Anniversary edition challenge coin and letter of authenticity, this rare package is a great investment for any fan of the M9 design. The true M9 frame is complemented by wood grips inlayed with the M9 30th medalions. The slide is adorned with the current dates of service of the M9, the phrase, "30 Years of Service" and finally, near the muzzle is the American flag.
This limited edition is sure to make any Beretta fan excited.


The video is set to start automatically, if it does not, use cursor to press play button. The video starts at 27:40.
At beginning of video it is very clear Councilwoman Chen wants to close the Cerritos Sheriff's Station.
Chen asks what are the "out causes" of closing the station.
Gallucci is very surprised the station was brought up.
Later Gallucci admonishes Chen and Solanki for bringing the matter up now before staff, who was directed to study cuts, presents their findings.
Mayor Ray then reminds Chen and Solanki that this was not agendized and should have not have been talked about.
Pulido said it is a non-starter to cut the sheriff's and blasts Chen and Solanki for campaigning on safety then proposing to close the station.
After Pulido, Edwards slams Chen and Solanki for proposing the cuts.
Later an angry Chen attempts to hold up budget approval using the Sheriff's station and other cuts as leverage.
Council votes 3-2 with Chen and Solanki voting no.
Whoever voted for these jerks ?
Cerritos Sheriffs and Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts, is taking allot of the budget.
What mess of robotic union members. No personality demonstrated in any of these social media articles. How many employees did does it take to put up this facebook page? Bet the sheriffs are doing this on our dollar and not freebie after hours.

Grow your #GivingTuesday donations by 15 times in 3 years like this fundraiser
Development pro Cara Schmidt tested a crowdfunding campaign in 2013 and has since raised over $100,000 for her Chester County nonprofit from the philanthropic holiday.

This story is part of "Fundraising" month of the Generocity Editorial Calendar. Find the series here.
This is a guest post by fundraiser Cara Schmidt.
As the holiday season draws near, nonprofit organizations all over prepare for what's typically their busiest time of year.
It used to be the end of December as people scrambled to make end-of-year gifts, but the week after Thanksgiving has quickly become a contender. Thanks to #GivingTuesday, launched in 2012 by the 92nd Street Y as the philanthropic answer to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I have changed the way I think about donors.
In an industry that relies heavily on appeals sent by mail, printed annual reports, and often behind-the-curve technology, an approach so deeply rooted in social media seems scary to a lot of people. I hear that your donors aren't the ones on Facebook, younger audiences aren't the ones giving money, or posting on Twitter is like shouting into a black hole. That last bit might be a valid argument in some cases, but still, nonprofits can and do raise money on social media.
I launched my first #GivingTuesday campaign in 2013. The organization I was with, a private school in Chester County, didn't put much energy into social media and thought it wouldn't be an effective use of time.
That may have helped fuel my efforts, I wanted to prove that I could do something unusual. With just a few hours to plan, and no budget, I put together a simple campaign: photos of students and some quotes about what the school meant to their families. I was fortunate — our students did impressive craftwork in a beautiful setting. The pictures alone could convince people to give. But I realized we needed more than that.
We offered an incentive: If you made a gift in honor of a friend we would send them a letter and a small piece of art made by a student. The reasoning, I shared, was more than just bringing in money. This was a great way to grow our database. I reached out to a few board members and invested donors — ones that typically liked and commented on our content, and asked that they continue to do so on all the posts they'd see about our first #GivingTuesday campaign. I explained the value in their interactions and encouraged them to share our content.
Thanks in big part to their actions, 35 donors contributed a total of $7,000 for our first year — well over my spoken goal of $1,000 and my dream goal of $5,000.
The next year brought a significant vote of confidence through a matching gift. That, paired with student stories and regular communication, brought us more than double what we'd seen previously. This made me rethink the incentive angle. Were donors giving for a bookmark made of marbled paper or a pack of notecards? Probably not. Plus it took a lot of work to get those shipped.
It's fairly easy to reach people on social media, but it's much harder to get them engaged. For our third year I dropped the "token" and launched an extensive, grassroots effort to motivate and mobilize supporters. Each week leading up to the event I shared photos of students with testimonials from parents. To expand our Facebook reach and bring the campaign to more people's news feeds, I emailed family members and board members, encouraging them to like, share and comment on posts. I also sent step-by-step instructions on how to share content, and quickly responded to donations with an acknowledgement email that included a personalized image donors could share on their own social media accounts.
Another matching gift, this time from a variety of stakeholders, propelled us to $40,000. I was glad I ditched the tchotchkes and focused on empowering our donors.
Last year absolutely took me by surprise. We had $27,000 in matching gifts. Donors met that number before 9:30 a.m. and the contributions continued! By the end of the campaign I had raised nearly $80,000, making 2016 a $106,691 success story.
To grow the campaign (and make my life easier), I recruited a team of individuals who I knew would not only get involved, but they'd enjoy it. We launched peer-to-peer pages, encouraged competition and acknowledged those who helped our cause. Enthusiasm was contagious as some donors gave multiple times, to several campaigns in support of their friends. The school has approximately 120 students, so to have 279 donors, 52 percent of whom were first-timers, was incredible. Donors were thanked and told how
valuable their social media interactions were. Their shares, comments and likes were instrumental to the success of the campaign.
Those donors? You need them in more ways than one.


Now that specific individual has decided to retire, and you also wish to throw a celebration as unforgettable as their livelihood. Below are a few suggestions about the way best to use retirement celebration supplies as right retirement decorations. The best part is that these retirement celebration ideas can be utilized whether it is a tiny, intimate gathering or a big, boisterous event.

You may always go with a retirement centerpiece which states proclaims happy retirement fantasies on it. You might even utilize party equipment like word confetti to sprinkle around your tables, to add to the decorating ideas.

Sprint #1 – more or less OOC, but still useful *pokes plot hole which is now nicely filled*
"This is a bad idea, a really really bad idea." Jon looked out at the warehouse and then back at Hunter and the Dogs. "I mean, why are all of us going over there again? As I remember, I'm the only person here who can actually be killed."
"He has a point." Hunter looked over at the lightside pack, "If he's our only connection to this world why would we be risking him?"
"We can always get another one." Tos sniffed. "There are plenty of them out there."
"Yes, you can get another one." Hunter snapped, "I can't."
"We shouldn't be here in the first place." Hunter's dog sounded like a dying breeze, just loud enough to hear. "Kill him and go home."
"Hey, hey!" Jon cut him off with a slash of the hand "No one is killing me! That was the whole point!"
"We need him close enough to draw on." Athen objected, "Otherwise we'll be useless."
"You're pretty useless anyways." Jon muttered, but they ignored him.
"So we get him close, but keep him hidden." Aklea scratched at the ground thoughtfully. "So how do we do that?"
"Well, there really isn't any cover." Athen's eyes the wide expanse of gravel with distaste. "I suppose we could try veil-walking, but it's really not a good idea with someone so," he paused trying to find a polite way to say 'utterly untrained and useless'.
"He has me." Hunter faded until she was just the faintest hint of a shadow, and a pair of unnervingly infocus eyes.
Tos grunted thoughtfully, "That he does."

Hit and Run Emotions
Aug 1, 2016 · by Loretta Eidson · In: Publications
I am pleased to welcome my writing mentor and friend, best-selling author DiAnn Mills to guest blog on Loretta's Loft today. Her expertise and guidance in novel writing and character development has helped me grow as a writer. She is an amazing lady! Continuing reading to find out about her random drawing.
Hit and Run Emotions by DiAnn Mills
While driving back from the grocery store, I was hit by a truck and the driver took off. The emotions I experienced were shock, anger, and a twinge of fear. The latter one was probably because I write suspense, and my mind always goes into story mode. But the truth is, fear often results from the unpredictable and suspicions from those who harm us.
The same applies to the characters in our stories. What happens when a writer has a character encounter a traumatic incident and there's no reaction? Or what happens when a character responds to a minor incident with drama-queen emotion?
Both scenarios can destroy a reader's reality check and toss the reader out of the story. Future purchases from that writer are nil. Sad, but true. Not much opportunity for a second chance when there are so many writers competing for our attention.
To avoid hit and run emotion in our stories, we can take steps to ensure our characters' reactions to events are met with responses that are in character, realistic, and slide into genre.
In Character
For credible emotion, we writers must thoroughly understand our POV characters. This means taking time to develop their personality, unique traits, and backstory. A character who handles anger by stuffing it may logically end up with an ulcer. A character who deals with anger by breaking noses may need anger management classes. The first key to overcoming inappropriate reactions lies in characterization.
Many writers keep a journal of the happenings in their lives and how they reacted. It's been said that if a writer is unwilling to seek resolution to life's explosions, then the writer will never be able to write about those same emotions effectively.
Dramatic reactions to small incidents initiates skepticism in the reader, unless the writer is gifted in humor. Even those stories must be crafted with care. When a hero or heroine appears callused to tragedy, displays an absence of wit or logic, or is over-the-top in dialogue, readers no longer care about the character or the story.
The many genres provide us an opportunity to show our stories through a variety of techniques. The criterion dictates the story world's dialogue, culture, goals, setting, and symbolism. The seven universal emotions stated in Tonya Reiman's,The Power of Body Language are surprise, fear, anger, sadness, disgust, happiness, and contempt. Every POV character experiences these emotions according to genre guidelines. Here are a few examples:
Contemporary – Today's world is filled with instant information from various communication devices. Problems arise from dealing in a world where change is the norm. A character is continuously assaulted with situations that involve coping devices according to traits and backstory. Contemporary characters filter a whirl of happenings through their personal data bank of their past.
Historical – The past is known for its slower pace of living. Communication from local, national, and worldwide events shape the future many times before the character learns about them. Culture and gender often dictate how a character receives and processes emotion.
Romance – Romance is an emotional adventure. This aspect of novel writing can be woven into any genre. A thread of romance invites a reader into a dreamlike world of fresh and breathless love.
Speculative – This genre has a broad range of categories from fantasy to sci-fi. Here the setting and culture blends with character to show how emotion is received and processed. Because the story world is unusual, how a character views emotion is according to the writer's discretion.
Suspense – Suspense can be written into any genre, much like romance, but the character's reaction to a state of anxiousness or uncertainty with a blanket of fear leads the character down a path of uneasiness and often apprehension. Heroes and heroines walking through suspense are survivors who have learned to manage and compartmentalize their emotions in a way that is healthy and believable.
Hit and run emotions. We writers don't have to be labeled with this criticism because we understand the power of character, reality, and genre.

Thank you! >
Loretta Eidson says
Always a pleasure, DiAnn!
Wendy L. Macdonald says
Thank you for the excellent advice, Loretta and Diann. I sure don't want to experience a "hit & run" scenario with readers when my writing goes public, so I'm taking my time with editing and revising before allowing my manuscripts to leave the driveway.
Blessings ~ Wendy
Wise decision, Wendy! It takes valuable time to edit, revise, edit, revise, but it's time well spent to get it right or at least as right as you can at the moment. Thank you for joining us today. Be blessed and keep writing.
Thanks, Wendy, I'm a firm believer that strong emotions in conflict keep the reader turning pages.

Citation: POWELL, F. ...et al., 2017. The importance of mealtime structure for reducing child food fussiness. Maternal and Child Nutrition, 13(2): e12296.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to explore how the structure of mealtimes within the family setting is related to children's fussy eating behaviours. Seventy-five mothers of children aged between 2 and 4 years were observed during a typical mealtime at home. The mealtimes were coded to rate mealtime structure and environment as well as the child's eating behaviours (food refusal, difficulty to feed, eating speed, positive and negative vocalisations). Mealtime structure emerged as an important factor which significantly distinguished children with higher compared to lower levels of food fussiness. Children whose mothers ate with their child and ate the same food as their child were observed to refuse fewer foods and were easier to feed compared to children whose mothers did not. During mealtimes where no distractors were used (e.g., no TV, magazines or toys), or where children were allowed some input into food choice and portioning, children were also observed to demonstrate fewer fussy eating behaviours. Findings of this study suggest that structured mealtimes, where the family eats together and distractions are minimal, alongside allowing the child autonomy in food choice and intake, may help to promote more adaptive and healthy eating behaviours in young children.

Woodstock Art Gallery to Present Exhibition at High Commission of Canada in the United Kingdom, London, England
Posted on Tuesday January 17, 2023
Woodstock, Ont. — The Woodstock Art Gallery has been provided with the distinctive and special honour of presenting an exhibition at the High Commission of Canada in the United Kingdom.
Many Lives Mark This Place features large-scale paintings by prominent senior Canadian artist John Hartman. The nine large-scale portraits showcase award-winning Canadian authors in the landscapes that inspire them, providing a visual and literary overview of Canada from coast to coast. The exhibition will be on view from Jan. 20 and run until April 1, 2023, at the Canada Gallery in Canada House, home of the High Commission, located in Trafalgar Square, London, England.
"This special collection of portraits celebrates the richness of Canada's literary fabric and speaks to the power of the imagination in experiencing the diverse landscape which links Canada together," said Mary Reid, Woodstock Art Gallery Director / Curator. "We are honoured to present the work of one of Canada's most significant artists, John Hartman, to a global audience."
The artworks on display have been selected by Reid who, along with Mayor Jerry Acchione, will be traveling to London to attend the exhibition's opening reception on Jan.19. The event will include a conversation between Hartman and Prof. Alixe Bovey, Dean and Deputy Director of The Courtauld Institute of Art.
The full series of 37 portraits can be viewed at manylives.art. A portion of the series was already exhibited at the Woodstock Art Gallery in the spring of 2022. The accompanying publication, which features short essays from the authors written in response to their respective portrait, can be purchased through the Woodstock Art Gallery's website.
About Canada Gallery
The mandate of the Canada Gallery, as part of the High Commission of Canada in the United Kingdom, is to offer a welcoming space that provides a reflection of Canadian values and excellence in support of Government of Canada objectives, through its programming of visual arts projects. Its objectives are:
To create a space that reflects Canada as innovative, diverse and creative while representing all the regions of the country.
To engage the general public with exhibitions by Canadian contemporary artists that highlight important and current themes and priorities for the Government of Canada.


Tata & Howard provided design and construction services for a new water treatment facility that houses a 1.2 mgd ultrafiltration system and completed a pilot test that consisted of an evaluation of two separate ultrafiltration technologies. Franklin Wells No. 1 and 2, located off Hayward Street in Franklin, Massachusetts were installed in the 1940's with a combined safe yield of 1.2 million gallons per day. Due to high concentrations of iron and manganese in the groundwater, the wells were only used to meet peak water demands during the summer months. The construction of the water treatment facility recaptures the yield from these two sources. The water treatment facility consists of a main building which houses static mixers, ozone feed equipment, chemical feed equipment, prefilters, membrane filtration equipment, instrumentation and controls. Treatment consists of ozone oxidation followed by membrane ultrafiltration. The project was funded in part by the Massachusetts Water Pollution Abatement Trust through a low interest state revolving fund loan.
The overall treatment scheme is as follows: ozone injection, oxidation of iron and manganese in an ozone contact tank, prefiltration, treatment through two ultrafiltration membrane skids, chlorination prior to a clearwell, and fluoride addition prior to discharge into the distribution system. The plant is designed to recycle backwash water and membrane recirculation water to the head of the plant utilizing two decant tanks. Ozone is produced on site utilizing compressed air, while a LOX tank is available to allow for the production of additional ozone if required in the future.

Inside the hottest new investing app with Katie Perry, VP of Marketing at Public
Have you heard of the app Public? If not, you're in for a treat.
Have you heard of the app Public? If not, you're in for a treat. I have Katie Perry, their VP of Marketing, on the podcast today to chat about this hot social networking app that is on a mission to open up the stock market to everyone by making it inclusive, educational, and fun.
Katie's curiosity has shaped a career journey that is rich in experience, with dreams of becoming a journalist, but ultimately landing major roles at large marketing firms, smaller startups, and even running her own business for a time to dabble as a Head of Marketing in different industries. I have no doubt you'll learn a lot from Katie's wisdom and insights.
It's not about you – it's about how you can add value to a business.
Jobless in the heart of the 2008 recession, Katie learned the hard way when she realized that her accolades, her accomplishments, even her GPA – didn't really matter.
Realizing this, she optimized her job search and thought about the value she could add to a company. This led her from working in communications at a national retailer to landing a marketing role at a small search marketing agency that pivoted into a broader social media marketing firm.
If you're thinking about how you can highlight your value when you're applying to different roles, Katie has some great tips. When you write a cover letter, directly tie your experience to what the company needs and call out specific qualities and qualifications in the job description. When it comes to the resume itself, think about results and action.
How a coffee date with a former client led to an incredible opportunity.
After spending time consulting with various brands on their marketing – including a Fortune 500 coffee company, Katie realized that while she loved the creative side of consulting and innovation strategy, she missed being a part of the execution and seeing her bold ideas come to life.
A conversation over coffee with a former client introduced her to this new investing app called Public. Naturally, Katie was interested. She learned how to invest when she was 18 and really understood what their product was solving. Investing is not something you learn about in school and it can often feel complicated and intimidating to even think about getting into, yet it's an important life skill. The icing on the cake for Katie was seeing the product's beautiful design firsthand and feeling completely aligned with the mission.
Public is a game changing company that is flipping the entire culture of investing upside down. Not only are they making investing more accessible by allowing investors to buy stocks and EFTs in small slices, they're also building a vibrant, thriving community where you can share ideas and learn more about the space. Public has broken down the barriers to entry so that anyone can learn how to invest.
The benefits of "dating before you get married" when you consult with a company.
It can be challenging to accurately assess the leadership at a company you're interviewing for, but what if you have the opportunity to work for them on a contract basis first?
Katie landed consulting gigs with companies she would have bent over backwards to work for full-time, but determined after being in the weeds working on the inside of some of these businesses, she realized she actually wouldn't have wanted to work full-time for them.
Choose to work with companies who are mission-driven and lead with integrity. Dig into the founder's history. What are his or her accomplishments? What did they do before the company they're at today? Did they help scale it? If you are dedicating a piece of your life to supporting a company, it's important that you feel aligned on every level.
Once you attain a role you're excited about, drop your ego at the door and look for ways you can add value. While you may feel intimidated, especially if you're walking into a new-to-you industry, don't be, and don't be afraid to ask questions. It will humanize you among your peers and even benefit others who may have wanted to ask the same thing. Katie stresses the importance of being agile, especially if you're working in a start-up environment. What you do every day may not always fit perfectly into your job description, but if you're comfortable with that, you'll have the best chance of succeeding.

I lost count of the number of times the other half and I said that to each other as we sailed the Mediterranean on board the Norwegian Epic.
Pinning down teenagers on a ship this size was always going to be tricky.
It was the Easter holidays and of the 4,100 passengers on board, a good third were under the age of 18.
We'd barely unpacked before they'd disappeared, pool towels in hand, to check out the Epic Plunge ride in the ship's Aqua Park.
Settled with a beer by the main pool on Deck 15, we caught a glimpse of them as they hurtled down slides then got on with the serious job of checking out their fellow teens from the hot tubs.
With the sun blazing down and a good book waiting to be read, I didn't worry much as I lay back on my lounger. They were happy and I was free to relax.
We'll see them at dinner, I reassured the other half as he went off to check out the Pulse gym.
By nightfall, we'd explored the ship, booked our tickets for the evening's performance of Broadway smash-hit Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and made reservations for two special fine-dining restaurants.
It's always a good idea to get your week planned when it comes to the big shows and restaurants.
Cruise line NCL was the first to ditch stuffy, timed dining and allows guests to eat where they want, when they want. But with 14 restaurants to choose from, some with additional charges, the choice can be overwhelming.
We plumped for Teppanyaki — it's an extra £25 but it's dinner and a show rolled into one, as you sit around a sizzling hot station while your dedicated chef cooks up a storm on the hotplate and keeps you entertained to boot.
Also worth the £16 extra charge was the Moderno Churrascaria — a carnivore's cornucopia, with endless towering skewers of beef, pork and more, carved direct to your table.
They'll keep serving until you finally admit defeat and place the red chip on your table.
But for the first night I'd planned a family dinner in the main Manhattan restaurant — a classy affair with an Art Deco theme. The kids had different ideas.
"It's OK, Mum. We're meeting our friends at O'Sheehan's for dinner then we're going bowling. After that we're heading to Entourage to play a little pool." And with that, they were off.
Entourage is the teen hangout on Deck 16. With air hockey, TVs and a video arcade below, it's the perfect place to escape pesky parents and is open until 1am for night owls such as my two.
The hubby and I enjoyed dinner in peace — and loved Priscilla.
This West End-quality musical is a fabulously uplifting extravaganza and the 681-seat Epic Theatre would put some of our London ones to shame.
Our day at sea as we cruised from Barcelona to our first port of call in Naples was the perfect chance for us to check out the spa.
The kids were still on the missing list, although I did get a glimpse of Ben as he scaled the rock-climbing wall and Abbi's screams were definitely audible from the bungee trampoline.
The spa was an oasis of calm and although some of the treatments can be eye-wateringly expensive (£300 24-carat gold facial, anyone?), you can still enjoy a pampering mani or pedi from a more sensible £24.
Docking in Naples we finally got some family time, heading off to explore the fascinating tunnels under this chaotic city with their millennia of history.
Ben loved its World War Two history, Abbi was keen to explore the shops.
We settled quickly into a routine — days in port exploring as a family and nights when the kids could enjoy hanging out with their new friends and we could once more enjoy some adult time, from fantastic food to great shows.
OUR cruise took us from Barcelona to Naples, Civitavecchia for Rome, Livorno for Florence and Pisa as well as the French ports of Cannes and Marseille.
And we did what many savvy cruisers are doing and booked our excursions independently from our cruise line.
It often saves money and crucially, allows you to plan your own exploring at your own pace, seeing the things that interest you the most.
Own excursion, £48 for a Florence Express tour and £52 for a Pompeii and Naples tour.
For our trip, it offered a great four-excursion package including a Pisa and Florence trip from Livorno, Monaco and Monte Carlo tour from Cannes, a Valldemossa, Deia and Soller tour from Palma, and a Pompeii, Sorrento and Positano view tour from Naples.
The package was from £248 per person, based on two travelling.
Or if you are travelling in a group or with family and friends, it's also worth checking out its private tours – essentially a car and driver, sometimes with a guide, giving you the freedom to decide what you want to do and at what pace.
For more, visit iglucruise.com or call 020 3696 9469.
After dinner, the Cavern Club provided the perfect place for a drink and live music.
A word on the drinks — they can be ruinously expensive.
Beers are relatively cheap and cocktails at happy hour are good value but £10 for a small glass of wine is not.
My tip? Look out for special booking offers including a drinks package — there was a large group on our cruise on the all-inclusive deal and we did feel rather envious of their ability to enjoy a tipple whenever, without worrying about the price.
As we strolled through the casino I caught another fleeting glimpse of the kids — a multi-national gaggle heading for karaoke at the Bliss Lounge.
They may have been kicked out at 11pm when the venue transforms into a decent nightclub for grown-ups but they did at least get to hang out for a while first.
Our week flew by as we spent days exploring the countryside of Italy and the Cote d'Azur and nights enjoying fine food and great entertainment on board — in a very grown-up way.
For the teens, the ship was a huge hit. They had a gang of pals to chill out with at all times and the freedom to enjoy it all in a safe environment.
What more can you ask for when travelling with tricky teens!
GETTING/STAYING THERE: NCL's Norwegian Epic will be sailing from Barcelona and Rome to the Western Med next summer.
Seven nights' full-board is from £956 per person including entertainment and flights from the UK. Price based on May 14 departure.
Cruise departs Barcelona and calls at Naples, Civitavecchia for Rome, Livorno for Florence and Pisa, Cannes – and new for 2017, Palma, Majorca.

1.1 Characteristics of a Linux File System.
1.1.1 What is a Hierarchical File System?
5.1 What are hidden files?
Characteristics of a Linux File System.
Linux shares file system characteristics with operating systems like Windows in some areas but differ from Windows in other aspects. For example: like Windows, a Linux file system, has all its files and directories organized in a tree-like structure but unlike Windows, there are no drive letters (C: or D:) on a Linux file system (instead all removable and non-removable devices are available and accessible from the /dev directory on Linux). Similarly, both Linux and Windows have files and directories, but Windows refers to them as files and folders. So, a folder in Windows is a called a directory in Linux. We use the Linux terminology in these notes.
In a Linux file sytem all files and directories appear under a single parent file (called root),however, unlike Windows, even multiple storage devices appear under the same root file in a Linux file system.
Everything within the Linux file system is considered a file. This means directories in Linux are a special kind of file that can hold zero or more files (including nested subdirectories) in them.
As mentioned above, all files within the Linux file system are organized in a tree-like structure and this is why a Linux file system is commonly referred to as a hierarchical file system.
In the code shown above, the $ refers to the prompt that waits for you to type something. That's where you type the command tree; some sample output of the command tree is shown below (notice the leading root directory, i.e. / at the top of the output following the tree command).
This course will teach you the skills you require to navigate the directory tree in a Linux file system because learning command-line navigation of the file system is essential for efficient system usage and administration.
A sample of some of the commonly found subdirectories that lie below the root directory (/) is shown in the table below. The table includes a brief description of the purpose of that subdirectory.
Almost every user in a Linux file system gets a 'home' directory when their account was created.
The ~ symbol represents the home directory of the logged in user.
The ~ symbol may be used in file pathnames. More about file pathnames later.
The cd command when used without any other parameters gets you into your home directory no matter where you previously were in the Linux file system.
As Linux is a multi-user filesystem, remember to keep your files private. You shall learn how to do this in a later class.
On a Unix/Linux file system a 'file' can be anything. To an average computer user a file is a container for: a text document, video, music, photo and so on.
A directory is a special type of file (index file) containing references to other file locations on the physical disc or to other file related information. Even devices like a terminal, a scanner, or a printer are also files. You will learn more details about these types of files later in this course. Any file (or directory) name starting with a period (such as . or ..) is considered a hidden file (or directory). You can use the ls -l command to determine the type of file.
Use the -l option of the ls command to get detailed information about a file.
Use the -ld option of the ls command to get detailed information for just the directory.
ls displays the normal listing of file, i.e. all non-hidden files in the present working directory (this is usually abbreviated to pwd in these notes).
ls -a displays all files, i.e. hidden and non-hidden files, in the present working directory. In the listing of ls -a the first two items (i.e. '.' and '..') are hidden directories to indicate the present working directory (the item: '.') and the item '..' indicates the parent directory of the present working directory. Both (. and ..) are found in every directory in the Linux file system. They cannot be removed, by any user, because both these directories are required for the internal working of the Linux file system.
ls -A displays 'almost' all files, that is all hidden files like .profile except the first two items . and ... This means . and .. are never shown within the ls -A output listing.
To protect important files from accidental deletion.
Since directories are really files, you can hide them as well.
Changes pwd to /path/to/dir. Entering the cd command without the directory path will change to the userfs home directory.
Creates a subdirectory with a directory. Multiple arguments can be used to create many subdirectories. The option .p allows for parent directories to be created.
Removes only empty directories (i.e. directories that contain no subdirectories or regular files). A user cannot remove a directory from within the directory location itself.
Moves a file from one location to another and/or rename the file. The mv command can be used to move directories as well as files. The -i option asks for confirmation if the destination filename already exists.
Removes a regular file. The -r option is used to recursively remove a directory and it's contents. Recursive means to descend to lower levels, which in this case, indicates that subdirectories and it contents are also removed. Note: it is a good idea to include the .i option to confirm deletion of subdirectories and its contents!
To join files (i.e. to concatenate files). For example, cat file1 file2 file3 will display the contents of file1 and file2 and file3 on the screen at the same time. To display the contents of small files (files longer than the screen will scroll to the end). For example, issuing the command cat .bash_profile in your home directory would display the contents of your setup file.
/car Search for pattern "car"
Updates the date and time of existing files. The touch command is also used to create empty files. You will be using the touch command to create empty files when you practice the file management on-line tutorial.
-k provides short (one-line) explanation relating to the commands matching the character string.
This can be used if user doesn't know name of command.
As the GUI may not always be available, knowing command-line text editors is a very valuable skill.
Efficient editing by using keystrokes instead of mouse.
vi filename is recommended when filename has already been assigned and changes will be saved to filename by entering ZZ while in vi.
vi to start a new file editing session, when filename is not assigned to a file. therefore user has to type <ESC> :w filename <ENTER> in order to save file.
User presses letter for a command. for example, input text, delete text, append text, etc.
Input Mode allows user to enter or edit text. Press ESC to return to command mode.
Pressing colon g:h opens a prompt to enter letter or word commands. More complex operations such as search and replace can be performed.
You may be able to move around by using the arrow keys (depends on version of vi).
For more advanced editing, you can return to Command Mode and use appropriate editing commands.
Work performed during vi session is stored in a Work Buffer (temporary storage) until the user saves their work.
When saving, changes in the work buffer are placed in a new file if creating a new file, or changes in work buffer modify existing (previously created) file.
There are many utilities you will discover as you learn ULI101. Here are some of the most common ones discussed here.

In Case You Missed It: Here's Everything Sonos Announced Yesterday
Sonos just announced three brand-new products, including its first ever portable Bluetooth speaker.
By Tucker Bowe
It's exciting times for Sonos. The multi-room speaker giant just announced three new products at IFA, Europe's biggest consumer tech trade show. There's the Sonos Move, the company's first-ever portable speaker; the Sonos Port, which is the next-generation version of the Sonos Connect; and there's the Sonos One SL, a new entry-level Sonos speaker. We've given you a brief rundown on all three new products below.
The push for new products shouldn't be a surprise if you've followed Sonos. Patrick Spence, the company's CEO since 2017, is actively moving the company to be more open and forward-thinking, as well as pushing it to expand its product line. Since Spence took over, Sonos has released its first smart speaker, partnered with IKEA to make the most affordable Sonos speakers (Symfonisk), and now it has entered a completely new market: portable audio.
The Sonos Move is the company's first-ever portable speaker. It has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, allowing it to be way more versatile than any other Sonos speaker to date; you can use it like a Sonos One smart speaker – yes, the Move can be integrated with either Alexa or Google Assistant – or you can use it as a portable rugged Bluetooth speaker. There's a new three-button array on the back of the speaker that allows you to toggle between modes. The Sonos Move costs $399 and is available for preorder now; you'll be able to pick it up in stores or buy online on September 24.
Sonos Port
The Sonos Port is the next-gen Connect ($349) you've been waiting for. It works the same way, hooking up to your existing stereo or receiver and turning your non-Sonos sound system into one that works just like it, but the Port adds some big things. First, it supports AirPlay 2. Second, it has 12-volt trigger, which enables the Port to automatically turn on your connected receiver when signaled through the Sonos app. And third, it's matte black and actually looks like it will blend in with your other stereo components. The Sonos Port costs $399 and is available for preorder. A select number of models will starting on September 12, but they'll be available everywhere starting in January 2020.
Sonos One SL
The Sonos One SL is essentially a Sonos One speaker without the built-in mics that allow you to talk to Alexa or Google Assistant. Or you can think of it as a Play:1 speaker but in the body of a Sonos One. Either way, the Sonos One SL is the company's new most entry-level speaker – aside from the Ikea x Sonos Symfonisk speakers – and it costs $179. It's available for pre-order right now in either white or black. Sadly, the introduction of the Sonos One SL means that Sonos will be phasing out its original Play:1 speaker.

Update 31 Jan 2013: Watch the highlights from the day here.
Earlier this year, we opened up the doors to Covent Garden with a whole day of ballet rehearsals broadcast live to the world. Following on the success of Royal Ballet LIVE, we're delighted to announce that on Monday 7 January, we'll be broadcasting Royal Opera LIVE around the world - an unprecedented glimpse into life behind the scenes with The Royal Opera, with live rehearsals, interviews and insights direct from London's Covent Garden.
You'll be able to watch over ten hours of uninterrupted programming, starting at 10.30am GMT via The Royal Opera House website, The Space and the Guardian. Highlights will include glimpses into stage rehearsals from The Minotaur, a chorus call for our new production of Nabucco and rehearsals for Director of Opera Kasper Holten's new production of Eugene Onegin; his first production for The Royal Opera. Associate Director John Fulljames will present a model showing of his new production of La donna del lago, giving the audience an exclusive glimpse into what the opera will look like, including set and costume designs. There will be a unique opportunity to see a vocal masterclass in which Music Director Antonio Pappano will work with a singer currently on the Jette Parker Young Artists Programme.
The day will conclude with an exclusive look at all the action that occurs behind the scenes during a live performance. Viewers will be able to experience Act III from Wagner's Die Walküre, pre-recorded earlier in the Season, made possible with support from Deloitte as part of an ongoing collaboration with the Royal Opera House. Twenty-one cameras positioned in unique locations will capture the action: from above the stage to the trap door, to the orchestra pit and the wings. You'll be able to see opera stars such as Bryn Terfel preparing to take to the stage, and all the special effects realized by the technical team. What's more, via The Space, you can choose to watch the action from three different perspectives: from backstage, with the stage manager's calls, lighting cues and all the stage technology in action behind the scenes; join conductor Antonio Pappano in the pit, or a wide-angle of the onstage action. This is a first for online opera streaming, and something we're very excited about. Wherever you are in the world, we hope you'll be able to join us on Monday 7 January.
And why not "Robert le Diable"?!
Thanks for your comment. We weren't able to include Robert le diable because its run ends before 7 January. This date allows us to show behind the scenes on many of the other operas on stage and in rehearsal at the time.
Hope that you enjoy the day!
Sounds great! Shame it isn't on a weekend though - would have liked to have watched the whole thing! Will it be able to view again after the day?
Yes, we'll have highlights online after the event.
Munich has been streaming operas since over a year, why so slow in London?
In this case, it's not just an opera that we're streaming - Royal Opera Live is a whole day of behind the scenes filming for a number of operas including La bohème, Eugene Onegin, The Minotaur, La donna del lago and Act III of Die Walküre. We hope that we'll give a greater in depth look at how opera is created and staged than streaming a performance.
Greattt!!!! but please do consider offering it in full as video on demand or such for a period after!
quick question, will this be available outside the UK as well?
Yes, it'll be available around the world.
Cette initiative est absolument géniale et passionnante.
Sera-t-il possible de revoir cette vidéo dans les jours qui suivront le 7 janvier ?
am looking very much forward to this. i see that it's going to be on "the space" as well - which brings me to a question (request). i see that the roh production of "les troyens" is no longer on "thespace" - any chance of it getting back on there...or/and another roh production perhaps?
Is there a timetable please?
A timetable will be made available in due course.
Well done ROH! It's a great thing! I had the pleasure to participate at your backstage tour (a real one, on site... not on streaming) on 5th of december 2012: it was a wonderfull experience and now I can't wait for this "live" streaming version.
Thank you SO much ROH!!!! I hope to be a professional dancer someday and I love watching anything to do with the dance world, and of course, the ROH!!!
It's my 60th Birthday on the 7th January, and I am travelling up from flood-worn Devon to see la Boheme - even if I have to walk through the floods! It will be wonderful to watch the live streaming all day on my iPad, a lovely build-up to the evening. Thanking you in anticipation of a terrific day.
Hi Chris! You said there will be highlights available online after the 7th January. My question is how can I watch the full "behind the scenes" after the event on Monday. Thanks in advance.
We'll have selected highlights on our YouTube channel with the full day available to watch via The Space.
I am so excited about this magnificent event, although it will mean waking up at 4.30 a.m.
I am specially looking forward to seeing my fellow countryman Rolando.
It is nice that you will have the full programme available at a later stage, just in case I fall asleep!
mention is made of the multiple camera angles available for viewing the last act of "walkure" is this exclusive to thespace.org?
i understand that villazon has cancelled the "boheme" for the 7th-will he be appearing in this "live" presentation (other than on tape)?
very much looking forward to this. thanks ROH!!
Glad to hear you are have been looking forward to Royal Opera Live. You should be able to make the most of the multiple camera angles viewing on The Space http://www.thespace.org, and will be able to view normally on The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk or The Royal Opera House website http://www.roh.org.uk.
Looking forward the timetable for tomorrow.
All the best for this great day!
Royal Opera LIVE is available via our website, The Space and the Guardian - all for free. It is also available on Freeview if you have broadband connected.
Great initiative! Well done ROH Education again!
Thank you so much for the streaming event 1/7/13! Please do more on-line performances in the future.
Until now, I have been limited to only Metropolitan Opera events, which are often wonderful, but sometimes not so much, and are quite limited in number.
I recently watched your production of Tosca via You Tube and it was marvelous! Georgiu and Kaufmann were exceptional and Bryn Terfel was the best Scarpia I have seen since I saw George London in the role in the late 1950's. (Yes, I am that old!) Your performance cleansed the bad taste I had experienced from the horrible Met Opera Tosca of several years ago. The ROH has gained another American fan!
A massive 'thank you' to all those who prepared that monumental programme! It really turned our attention from the great singers we love to hear to the hundreds of committed specialists behind the scenes who make their performances possible. We watched from Switzerland where a combination of two computers and one mobile phone kept at least one screen glitch-free throughout the day. Highlights for us included all the coaching, particularly the La Boheme duet and Va Pensiero. The backstage version of Act III was unforgettable (what a totally unflappable mistress of ceremonies in charge!). The La Donna del Lago staging presentation told us a great deal about where all the money goes and the Onegin rehearsal snippets were highly thought-provoking. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

People show love for their favourite celebrities in numerous ways. Most, take to dressing like them or having collections of their music or movies, etc. The craziest of fans have gotten celebrity tattoos. Then there are some, in Taiwan, who are rockin' the latest trend; portrait inspired haircuts by XB Hair Salon in Changhua.
From Bruce Lee, Marilyn Monroe to Mickey Mouse- they can do it all. All that is needed is a picture of who you would like shaved onto your head.
The most recent talked-about request was by a young man who wanted a Donald Trump buzz. Apparently, he is a fan of the American president.
Allen Chen, who specialises in these portrait-inspired shaves, did an immaculate job of, not just the shave, but dyeing a part of the young man's hair blonde to finish the cut with the U.S president's famous comb-over.
This haircut was done in September but only recently, caught a buzz after it went viral when the Huffington Post shared about it.

W00t! Version 1.3 of Widgets on Pages has just dropped for PRO users, and will be released to the WordPress.org repo shortly.
There might be a couple of bug fixes, but the real deal is the new PRO feature of header/footer auto-inserts. Here's an example of it in use with WordPress' TwentySixteen theme, to show a search bar and recent posts in the footer.
With the new release users can set a Turbo Sidebar to be automatically inserted into your theme's header of footer section. This can be particularly useful for themes that don't have widget areas in the headers and footers out-of-the-box.
Other release updates include a small update to the Turbo Sidebar admin screen, allowing quick copying of the shortcode… of course PRO users can use the button in the visual editor.
We hope you enjoy the update, and feedback to us how you get on.

Super Bowl Features Romance on the Ranch
By Greg Henderson January 30, 2014
You'll want to watch the first quarter of Sunday's Super Bowl when Chevrolet debuts its 60-second commercial for their Silverado HD trucks.
Here's the video in case you can't wait for the game.
The spot continues the "hard-working" theme that past ads have featured only this one ends with a light-hearted twist. Titled "Romance," the video introduces us to a cowboy in the process of picking up a new Hereford bull described as "a very eligible bachelor." The handsome cowboy stops for a barbeque lunch before driving out to the ranch where he unloads the bull into a pen with four attractive young Hereford females. Music from the 1970s hit "You Sexy Thing" plays over the video of the moment the bull and heifers appear to have discovered love at first sight.
The ad represents a huge investment for Chevy and all Super Bowl advertisers. This year a 30-second spot sells for a cool $4 million, and average production costs are about $1 million. Is it worth it? Rob Siltanen, founder and chief creative officer of Siltanen & Partners, a Los Angeles-based advertising agency, makes the case that Super Bowl ads are a bargain.

I've wanted to take this trip across Italy for quite a while and one of the grand ideas I had about it before we finally went on the trip was about driving through Tuscany! Those rolling hills went hand it in hand with daydreams of myself eating as much pizza and gelato as I could shake a stick at.
Now I didn't get to eat nearly as much pizza and gelato as I would have liked – though in truth, you could have given me all the pizza and gelato in Italy and I probably would still say I hadn't had enough, but I did get to see that fantastic rolling Tuscan countryside and take in as much of it as I could – to my utter delight of course.

Felicitas – Redemption
ladythriller November 29, 2018	EXCLUSIVES, MUSIC, UNSIGNED BULLYS 64 Views
Vision from God propels new album
'Redemption' from Italian artist Felicitas
MILAN, ITALY – Felicitas Ngenuie Zama is a modern-day miracle. Born in the northwest region of Cameroon, in the city of Bamenda, she is the last child of a family of nine children. At an early age she found an aptitude for languages, and today is plurilingual. Her brilliance has shined through academic pursuits, bringing her to places all over Africa and Europe – and today she lives in Italy where she is continuing her university education.
All of those things are impressive, but the miracle that makes her life truly special didn't happen until a little over a year ago. The born-again Christian who said her life changed drastically as a 19-year-old who had an encounter with Christ, found a deep calling one night in October 2017 when she was given a vision in the middle of the night.
"Most times when I pray is around midnight because the silence is perfect and I get to concentrate on what I'm doing," she said. "And on this particular night I had a vision. I saw myself on stage, and it was like a trance. I was singing and I had a big audience in front of me and it was a platform for me to tell people about Jesus. I have always loved to sing, but I didn't know or have any ideas about making music a career. Singing makes me happy, but it has always been a way to distract myself from my studies when I want to take a break. But from that day forward, every night I would get new melodies coming to my spirit and new lyrics were flowing as if someone were reading them to me somewhere. I never had to search for new words, they just came to me. I would wake up early morning at around 2 a.m. filled with a new song, and I'd have to get up and write it down. He wants me to preach somehow through my songs."
That's how her new album, "Redemption," was born. She'd wake up with a new song in her heart, spend time praying about it and confirming with God that this is what He wanted, and then she'd put in the work to create the song. She said it's a project that she knows will connect deeply with people in ways that debunks the "taboo" that's often associated with the idea of living a Christian lifestyle.
"I wanted to give something to any girl of any race to connect with," she said. "The songs on here are what I've experienced before, but never knew what it meant at the time. It's about difficult times I've had in my life, and ones I still encounter now, and how God has revealed to me that they're challenges and temptations the devil puts in front of me to hold me back and pull me down. He doesn't want me to climb the ladder of success and be who God wants me to be. I've come face-to-face with the devil in a million different ways – that's something we deal with every day. This album is about what we can do to come out of it. We can use the Word of God to come out of difficult situations and be smarter and better and more beautiful than before."
"Redemption" features 11 original songs from Felicitas, with one song featuring Italian rapper Peligro. It's an album that she calls Contemporary Christian with a touch of R&B. She said she recognizes how unusual it is for an album like this to come out of a place not known for Contemporary Christian or Gospel music, but she knows that's part of the miracle God wants to continue through this process.

Matthew Williams Unveils 1017 ALYX 9SM's Moncler Genius Collection
First spotted at Milan Fashion Week.
By Christoper Kolbe
When Moncler Genius first debuted its "One House, Different Voices" presentation during Milan Fashion Week last winter, the Italian outerwear brand assembled a who's who list of designers, including the likes of Hiroshi Fujiwara, Palm Angels and Simone Rocha, just to name a few. 1017 ALYX 9SM's very own Matthew Williams was also pegged to rework a series of classics, using his very own tactically-informed DNA as a creative anchor. What ensued was an assembly line presentation of signature Moncler coats—twisted, of course, by Williams's flair for the dramatic.
And now, almost a year removed from the aforementioned showing, Williams has finally revealed his contribution in its entirety. Elaborate-shaped parkas—known primarily for its functional properties—travel through ALYX's technical prism by way of industrialized buckles. Elsewhere, chain link belts, chest rigs, cross-body pouches, hooded backpacks and neoprene-fashioned ankle boots also surface throughout, rounding out a collection that explores both perspectives through and through.
Statement wares aside, the partnership paved the way for Williams to further his label's tailoring techniques. As such, a sizable portion of the range centers around the use of Econyl—regenerated nylon derived from salvaged waste materials and recovered plastic taken from the sea.
The collection in full is available for purchase now via Moncler's web store. Meanwhile, in other fashion news, Stone Island recently unveiled its new SS20 Ghost range.
