AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis was undertaken of all patients who underwent SIRT at a single institution. Diagnostic and therapeutic angiograms, computed tomography (CT) images, positron-emission tomography (PET) images, and planar isotope images were analysed. The response to SIRT was analysed using radiological data and tumour markers. Overall survival, complications, and side effects of SIRT were also analysed. RESULTS: The initial 12 patients were included on an intention-to-treat basis, between 21/09/2005 and 07/05/2008. All patients had advanced disease and multiple prior courses of chemotherapy. One patient did not receive yttrium-90 due to complex vascular anatomy; the remaining 11 patients underwent 13 SIRT treatment episodes following work-up angiography. A response was seen using PET in 80% of patients. Using CT, the response of the tumour to therapy in the treated hepatic segments demonstrated a 20% partial response, stable disease in 50%, and progressive disease in 30%. Estimated median survival was 229 days, with 64% of patients still alive at the time of writing. No major complications were observed, although 82% of patients experienced side-effects following SIRT, mainly nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. CONCLUSIONS: There have been no complications in the 12 SIRT patients. Tumour response was seen in four out of five patients who underwent PET. Objective CT response rates were mixed and are perhaps partially explained by advanced disease and limitations of using measurements to assess response. This complex and potentially hazardous service has been successfully and safely established.

Just a few dozen kilometers south-west of Brno you will find a hidden but welcoming region steeped in history that is well worth a visit. In particular lovers of engineering monuments, historical architecture come here as well as those who are enthralled by the beauty of romantic natural nooks and coves. In short, the South West Brno region offers much more than simply Alfons Mucha's famous Slav Epic on the Chateau in Moravský Krumlov.
Those who enjoy seeking out architectural monuments on their travels will find, in a small region, a mosaic more colorful than an exhibition gallery including several architectural rarities. The Roman period is represented by the unique Church of St. Peter and Paul in Řeznovice as well as churches in Lukovany and Březník. Gems of Gothic architecture include the cloister ruins Rosa Coeli in Dolní Kounice directly below the Baroque chateau, which is well worth a visit just like the chateaus in Rosice, Oslavany, Náměšt nad Oslavou or Moravský Krumlov, most of which are remodeled from the original castles. However, such an auspicious future did not await many other castles and today they hulk as romantic remains of walls on hard to reach rocky cliffs overlooking the carved out valleys of the rivers Chvojnice, Oslava, Jihlava or Rokytná.
Lovers of modern industrial history won't be able to tear themselves away from the exhibitions of industrial railways in Zbýšov or the Mining Museum in the chateau in Oslavany. Admirers of modern industrial advancements and electrical power shouldn't miss the opportunity to tour the visitors' center of the hydro-plant Dalešice built directly into the wall of the Dalešice Dam.
Even sublimation specialists will find in the diversity of the region such specialties as an open-air Bee-keeping Museum in Rosice or the hall of fame of the painter Alfons Mucha in his home town of Ivančiče. However, you will find Mucha's monumental canvases, the Slav Epic, in the chateau in Moravský Krumlov. The final cultural highpoint of the region could be a half liter of excellent beer in the brewery restaurant of the Oslavany Chateau micro brewery.
In the beautiful forests and rolling country-side, today there are few signs of the mining of the previous century. Only the two mining towers of the Simson and Jindřich II mines recall the faded glory of the mining history and create interesting and photogenic dominating features in the landscape. Here, between Rosice and Oslavany our smallest black coal mining district unfolds with the deepest mine shafts in Central Europe, which extend up to 1.5 km underground. If you are the adventurous type, you can explore various hidden nooks and crannies of the mine district on your own or on a recommended route around Zbýšov.
Coal mining began in Oslavany before the year 1755. Mining began in the northern part of the mining district a few years later, but the real mining boom in the Rosice-Oslavany region occurred in the 19th century. Coal was mined here until the year 1991. You can learn more about the history of mining at the Museum of Mining and Power Engineering at the chateau in Oslavany.
A micro-region emerged on the territory of the former black coal mining district, which was given the name of a mining lamp – Kahan. The towns and municipalities of Babice u Rosic, Kratochvilka, Lukovany, Ostrovačice, Příbram, Rosice, Říčany, Újezd u Rosic, Vysoké Popovice, Zakřany, Zastávka and Zbýšov belong to the micro-region of Kahan. These municipalities have prepared this guide for you providing information about mining and other monuments of the micro-region of Kahan as well as the South West Brno region. The local gnomes will guide you and look after you on your travels through our land. Welcome one and all.

KNWA: Jessica Yamzon Reflects on Time at Arkansas
Jessica Yamzon Reflects on Time at Arkansas
Written and interviewed by: Tera Talmadge from Pig Trail Nation at KNWA
When you think of Arkansas Gymnastics, it's likely that Jessica Yamzon pops in your head. She's been on the team since 2017 and has become a fan favorite. But her college career ended abruptly in March and she never got to have a proper send-off.
"It was really tough when we found out," says Yamzon on the season getting cut short. "We were all together so it was good in that sense. But none of us expected it."
The good news is, even though her eligibility has run out, Yamzon will still be a part of the team next year.
"I started grad school in the spring, so I will be a graduate student coach for the team next year. So I'll still be around."
Although she's not a coach just yet, Yamzon does have some advice for future Arkansas gymnasts.
"I think the one thing I would say to everyone is just enjoy every single moment. Because you're not going to have the same team every year. You're going to have new girls come in and then have girls leave after their senior year. So just really take advantage of every year and every single moment you have with them because it could be taken away at any time."
To hear more from Yamzon, watch the video above.

Earmark Plan Unsettled
Debate Extends From Hill GOP to White House
By John Stanton
Posted January 22, 2008 at 6:44pm
Despite mounting pressure from conservatives on Capitol Hill and within the Bush administration to take a firm stand against Congressional earmarking, the White House remained split over how best to handle the situation, with neither anti-earmark forces nor supporters of the controversial practice appearing to gain any ground Tuesday, House and Senate Republicans said.
Meanwhile, it appears that in the waning hours of the previous session, lawmakers crafting the massive fiscal 2008 omnibus appropriations bill eliminated a number of prized earmarks that were pushed by veteran lawmakers, including a $2 million provision funding a controversial National Archives facility in Anchorage, Alaska, connected to former business partners of Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska).
Although White House sources would only say that no decisions have been made on how, or even whether, Bush would address the earmark issue in the coming weeks, Republicans on Capitol Hill said it appears the White House, like the broader GOP, has become increasingly split between conservative reformers and those who see earmarks as politically necessary.
According to White House sources and Congressional Republicans, a number of proposals have been floated internally. For instance, reform advocates have argued for an executive order eliminating the more than 10,000 earmarks in the omnibus bill or issuing a recisions package as part of the State of the Union address and tying it to some other economic or domestic spending policy initiative. But those proposals have run into resistance within the administration and on Capitol Hill over concerns that Congress would take such actions as a sign of war on lawmakers and could mean an extremely difficult year for Bush.
One option that has been mentioned recently — and appears to have the backing of some Republicans who support earmarks — would be for Bush to make a forward-looking statement on earmarks either in the State of the Union or in a separate speech calling on Congress to begin the process of weaning itself off earmarks. But conservatives have rejected this and similar proposals as being little more than symbolic rhetorical flourishes and continue to push the White House to take firm action.
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), a leader of Senate conservatives, argued that how the issue is resolved will be pivotal in how Bush's legacy is shaped. "This is a pivotal test for our party and our president. This will signal to America if we have learned the lessons of 2006 or if we are going to continue to wander in the wilderness. The president has an opportunity to secure a real fiscally responsible legacy. I hope he doesn't allow big spenders to talk him out of doing the right thing for taxpayers," DeMint said Tuesday.
However, with none of these proposals appearing to gain much traction, Republicans familiar with the White House's internal struggles said it now appears senior staffers are looking for a middle ground that can allow them to take some sort of substantive action while avoiding an all-out brawl over spending with Congress.
But Republicans said it is increasingly difficult to envision what that middle ground may look like and warned that it is likely someone will come away angry from this fight. "Sometimes there is no middle ground and you have to do the right thing," a Senate GOP aide said, adding that "the question they have to ask is whether or not people are clamoring for more 'Bridges to Nowhere.'"
Meanwhile, it appears that House and Senate negotiators cut a number of expensive or controversial earmarks out of the 2008 appropriations as part of their effort to winnow down the omnibus bill to avoid a presidential veto.
Although watchdog groups are continuing the slow process of combing through the bill's thousands of pages, researchers at Taxpayers for Common Sense already have identified a handful of building projects that appropriators cut to pass the bill.
According to a preliminary review, in addition to cutting the $2 million archives project in Alaska, appropriators also eliminated a $21 million federal building construction project proposed by Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.); a $2.6 million federal courthouse construction project included in the Senate spending bill by Shelby; and an $18 million courthouse project backed by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-Texas). Conferees also cut hundreds of millions in proposed funding for the St. Elizabeths mental institution in Washington, D.C.

Killer Love is a page-turner of suspense, murder, betrayal, love lived and fought for, and colorful characters from the London underworld. When Jake accepts Faiza's bribe and marries her, he has no inkling that assassins will try to kill him once the knot is tied. If the assassins, a couple, fail in their mission to kill Jake and capture Faiza, they will be replaced "with prejudice." Millions of dollars, and Jake's life, are at stake as the two couples play a cat-and-mouse game of survival from London to North Devon and back to London.


Character » Conquest appears in 24 issues.
A Viltrumite who was put in charge of overseeing Mark's take over of Earth. He was killed during his rematch with the young Viltrumite.
Conquest first appeared in the aftermath of the Invincible War, a disasterous event in which a supervillain named Angstrom Levy used his dimension spanning powers to summon an army of evil, alternate universe counterparts of Invincible to the main Invincible's world. What followed was a cataclysmic battle between the evil Invincibles and all of the world's superheroes. The heroes won, but the battle had ravaged the face of the planet and left most of the heroes either dead or severely injured, minus Invincible himself. When the evil Viltrumite Empire noticed this, they decided that this would be the perfect time to conquor Earth, so they sent Conquest respectively to accomplish the task. Conquest appeared before Invincible and gave him an ultimatum; either Invincible would conquor Earth, or else Conquest would kill him and take over Earth himself. This only fueled Invincible's already large amount of stress and anger, so he responded to Conquest's threat by attacking him.
The ensuing battle between the two caused even more destruction to the already devastated world with Conquest proving to be not just stronger than Invincible, but also very sadistic, explaining that he isn't trying to kill Invincible because he was ordered to, but because he wants to. As Invincible continues to get pummeled, his half-brother Oliver arrives to assist him. Oliver manages to land a few hits on Conquest, but when the latter grabs hold of the former and prepares to tear him in half, Invincible rescues him and orders him to instead stay away from the conflict while he holds fights Conquest.
As their battle rages on, Invincible suffers serious injuries while Conquest only suffers minor ones. During this time, Invincible's girlfriend Eve wakes up from a coma in the hospital, and after she sees Invincible battling Conquest on television, she flies to the battle to assist her boyfriend. When she arrives, she tries to contain Conquest with her forcefields, but Conquest tears through them easily, and then critically wounds Eve by punching a hole in her stomach. As Eve seemingly dies in Invincible's arms, Conquest confesses to him that he is glad that he angered the Viltrumites enough to send himself to Earth, claiming that he hasn't had this much fun in ages. The broken Invincible then vows to destroy Conquest no matter what.
Conquest isn't convinced that Invincible can stand a chance against him, but admits that he is impressed that Invincible can still threaten him after all he has done. When Invincible's only responce is a rage-filled glare, Conquest provokes him to attack again. Invincible then delivers a punch powerful enough to destroy Conquest's robotic arm, but in the process breaks his own arm, and then tears off a chunk of Conquest's shoulder with his teeth. As the two reach the final moments of their battle, Eve regenerates herself and uses her powers to sear Conquest's skin off his body. Invincible then apparently kills Conquest with several blows to his head.
It was recently revealed that Conquest isn't dead, but imprisoned by Cecil for interrogation. However, after healing from his severe injuries, Conquest escapes confinement and flies into space to regroup with the remaining Viltrumites. He comes before Thragg, the Grand Regent of the Viltrumites, and pleads for mercy for failing to take over Earth. Thragg spares him, but only if he doesn't fail him a second time, and then instructs him to intercept and kill Invincible before he reaches the Coalition of Planets. Conquest obeys, and after recieving a new robotic arm takes two other Viltrumites with him to locate Mark's ship.
After locating Invincible's ship, Conquest destroys the vessel and then prepares for his rematch with the young Viltrumite. He finds great joy in the chance of killing both Invincible and his father Nolan. Oliver attacks Conquest first and is easily swatted away. Oliver, still inexperienced with being in space, begin to suffocate as he lost his breath. He heads towards a Planet with an atmosphere to catch his breath. Conquest sees that Oliver has broken away from the others and sees an opportunity for an easy kill and follows him. As Invincible's allies take on the other two Viltrumites, Invincible follows Conquest to help his brother. As Conquest enters the Planets atmosphere he makes a crucial mistake and exhales, but before he can breathe in again Invincible starts to strangle him. At one point in the fight, Conquest is actually worried that Invincible will kill him, so he punches a hole in the young Viltrumite's stomach, mirroring what happened to Atom Eve in Issue #63, in hopes of ending the fight quickly, but Invincible fights on until he manages to finally kill Conquest by strangling him to death.
His Viltrumite physiology has given him several different superpowers. One of them is extremely slow aging and he's likely lived to be thousands and thousands years old yet, he his still in his physical prime. He also has dominant genes. If he or other Viltrumites have a child with a different race, their physical traits and appearance will override that of the race that they bred with. He has extreme superhuman durability and a healing factor. Therefore, he can heal from things that would normally kill not only humans, but other species of aliens as well. He's been shown to survive being completely disemboweled, touching lava, and even living through close range of a bomb blast. His Viltrumite physiology allows him to survive in space and although he cannot breath in that vacuum, they can hold their breath for up to two weeks and it's almost a given that he has superhuman speed, stamina, and a strength level that it's upper limits are completely unknown. Another ability that is very common to his race, is that they all possess the ability to fly. The only weakness that he and his species share, is that they have a vulnerability to the unbalance of equilibrium in their inner ear. This is generally set off by extreme frequencies and it can cause them pain, and even kill them.


ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Slash never set out to find success. All the guitarist knew is that he loved to play music.
Slash began his career with Guns N' Roses and released the 18-million-selling "Appetite for Destruction" two days before his 22nd birthday. He found huge success with the band until it parted ways in the early '90s.
Slash has since formed the side project Slash's Snakepit and co-founded the supergroup Velvet Revolver. Most recently, he put out a solo debut in 2010 and just released his second solo effort, "Apocalyptic Love," on May 22.
And to top it all off, he's now a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Guns N' Roses.
Slash – who is known for his signature black top hat – says that the new record is for the fans.

Last week we passed a landmark when Heidi Fleiss, the Hollywood madam, announced she was giving up plans to open The Stud Farm, Nevada's first male brothel. Instead, she is putting her money into alternate energy.
Jesse Ausubel, director of the Center for the Human Environment at Rockefeller University, takes the opposite view. "Alternate energy is the next subprime mortgage meltdown," he says. When Heidi Fleiss has jumped in, we may be reaching the top of the market.
• $8 billion in loan guarantees for wind and solar projects.
• $4.5 billion for "smart grid" upgrades.
• $6.5 billion to help the Bonneville and Western Area Power Administrations upgrade their grid to ferry renewable energy from remote regions.
• $600 million to help the Department of Defense convert facilities to wind and solar.
• $200 million for biofuel refineries, and on and on.
There is not one penny in the bill for the one form of energy that might give this country a future — nuclear power.
All this follows the plan laid out by Amory Lovins, Al Gore, Thomas Friedman and all the other enthusiasts who promise us that alternative energy is the future of the country.
It's true, the nation is now going through a windmill-building binge, fueled by a 1.45 cents-per-kilowatt federal production tax credit that makes it profitable without even bothering to sell the electricity. On top of that, almost half the states have now passed "renewable portfolio standards," which mandate that utilities get X amount of their electricity from renewable sources (wind, solar, biomass, geothermal) by 20XX. This is what we used to call "unfunded mandates." Legislatures want to promote renewable energy but they don't want to pay the costs. So they make the utilities pay instead. The result is that electricity becomes more and more expensive.
California went through all this in the 1990s in the years leading up to the California Electrical Shortage. It had 10 percent renewables — the national average is 1 percent — and the most expensive electricity in the country before running out of electricity altogether in 2000. It solved the problem by frantically adding 12,000 megawatts (MW) of natural gas turbines in three years to make up for its shortages. But natural gas prices have gone through the roof and now California electricity is more expensive than ever. Manufacturing plants are leaving the state left and right and unemployment is almost the highest in the country. Now Congress is setting the whole country down the same path.
You can see in all this the essence of how government meddling promotes economic meltdowns. What happened with the subprime debacle? The federal government became obsessed with the idea that home ownership was good for everyone. It subsidized mortgages among people who couldn't afford them, assuming some of the risk itself and forcing banks to take on the rest. Pretty soon the whole thing comes crashing down, carrying the rest of the economy along with it.
Contrast this to the report in this month's Nuclear News on the progress of the Japan Steel Works, the only company in the world that forges the huge steel pressure vessels that go into nuclear reactors. With 34 new reactors now under construction around the world, JSW is currently backed up four years but just announced a $350 million expansion. "While the recent world economic crisis has meant that business for some divisions of JSW is very sluggish, the nuclear energy division remains strong," reported Nuclear News this month. Riding its nuclear division, JSW's profits reached a record $385 million for FY 2009, 10 percent above 2008. "This trend is continuing," said Nuclear News.
In other words, it's nice to watch those 45-story structures going round and round but don't count on them to produce any useful electricity.
What makes windmills even more impractical is that, because of their vast land requirements (125 square miles to match the average coal or nuclear plant), they must be located far from population centers. That's why as soon as Gore or Friedman finishing painting a world run on wind and sunshine they tell you we have be rebuild the entire national grid in order to accommodate them. The current 345-kilovolt current grid, you see, loses about 10 percent of its power to heat and friction every 200 miles. What we need are 765 kV transmission lines that can carry electricity from remote Midwestern farmlands and East Coast mountaintops to cities around the country without too much loss. The cost of that will easily exceed $1 trillion.
Without a doubt, there will soon be a huge shakeout in alternate energy business. It won't be anything of the magnitude of the subprime meltdown, but the dot-com bust of 1999 is probably a good model. Of course legitimate businesses are in trouble everywhere and the dot-com bust at least left us with a solid telecommunications system and some thriving Internet companies. That's what a bubble bursting does, separates useful enterprises from those that are just running with the crowd. The problem is an alternative energy bust is not going to leave us with anything useful. All these enterprises have been propped up by government subsidies from Day One.
For a pattern at useful energy investment, take a look at what is happening in Europe. Last week the Wall Street Journal reported that France, unlike the rest of the world, has not yet fallen into a recession. The reporter attributed this to France's high level of government employment, but a much more likely explanation is France's complete conversion to nuclear energy. With 80 percent of its electricity coming from nuclear and the rest from hydro, France pays the lowest electrical rates in Europe — and has the lowest carbon emissions on top of that. Nuclear electricity is the country's third largest export — and the only thing keeping the lights on in Italy these days. Because it draws so much energy from nuclear, France imports only half as much natural gas as Germany and the U.K. In effect, it has achieved a measure of energy independence.
So it isn't who spends the money or how much gets spent. It's what you spend it on. If we were building a nuclear infrastructure right now — with our without government help — we would create lots of jobs, improve our technology and eventually develop a system that would give us cheap electricity and a measure of energy independence. Instead, we've put up a regulatory maze, plus the threat of endless lawsuits, so that even private capital isn't enthusiastic about investing in nuclear. There are 34 reactors under construction around the world, right now, none in the United States. Nor is there a penny in President Obama's stimulus plan to get the ball rolling.
Cheer up. Ten years from now there's going to be a great business in tearing down 45-story windmills and selling them for scrap. That'll create a lot of jobs and stimulate the economy.


Like many other areas of electronic music, the freedom and experimentation afforded to musicians through hybrid scoring makes it an area largely governed by individual tastes (even if it is subject to trends like other contemporary genres). Therefore, sample libraries aimed at these areas, such as Oracle, hinge both on creative and customizable functionality, as well as the developer's particular aesthetic. With that in mind, Meena Shamaly takes a close look at Oracle in his two part video review below.
Oracle can be purchased directly from the Strezov Sampling website and is available for 175 USD. Find out more at www.strezov-sampling.com.
There is little to fault with Oracle. It beautifully presents Casey Edward's hybrid modern aesthetic for its users, while offering abundant control to bend its sound to their own tastes. With the provision of open WAVs, it extends beyond the inherent limitations of the Kontakt format, presenting a large and well-recorded library of sounds for composers and sound designers to freely manipulate.

Playboy (o Playboy Magazine) è una rivista erotica statunitense rivolta al pubblico maschile, fondata nel 1953 a Chicago da Hugh Hefner e diffusa in tutto il mondo, sia nella versione originale sia in edizioni locali. Fu la prima rivista esplicitamente dedicata alla fotografia erotica ed ebbe (anche grazie alla figura carismatica di Hugh Hefner) un ruolo non irrilevante nel movimento noto come rivoluzione sessuale.

Negli anni settanta vendeva milioni di copie e il numero più venduto fu quello del novembre 1972 dell'edizione USA, con  copie. La copertina fu realizzata da Rowland Scherman e raffigurava la modella Pamela Rawlings. Una porzione del paginone centrale di questo numero (dedicato alla playmate Lenna Sjööblom) divenne un'immagine standard per il collaudo degli algoritmi di elaborazione digitale delle immagini; l'immagine è nota nel settore col nomignolo di Lenna (o Lena).

Dalla rivista si è sviluppata la Playboy Enterprises, società quotata alla borsa valori di New York con la sigla PLA, che si occupa dell'intrattenimento per adulti attraverso praticamente ogni tipo di media. Il logo di Playboy (una testa stilizzata di coniglio con un farfallino da smoking) è uno dei più noti e diffusi al mondo e in qualche modo oggetto di un "culto" specifico (vengono venduti in tutto il mondo adesivi col logo di Playboy da applicare, per esempio, alla carrozzeria delle automobili). All'inizio il simbolo della società era un cervo (stag), richiamo al rito maschile della caccia, ma anche delle serate per soli uomini , in cui si vedono in case private filmini pornografici muti: stag party. Poi con un colpo di genio grafico, il logo diventa un coniglio di bell'aspetto, giocherellone e sexy che indossa uno smoking.

Storia editoriale

La rivista esordì nel 1953, e da allora viene pubblicata mensilmente proponendo servizi fotografici di nudo femminile insieme ad articoli di costume, moda, sport, politica, interviste a personaggi illustri di ogni settore, nonché contributi letterari di autori famosi (per esempio Arthur C. Clarke o Stephen King). La linea editoriale adottata negli articoli dedicati alla politica e alla società è in genere considerata di taglio piuttosto liberal.

Il primo numero di Playboy fu pubblicato nel dicembre del 1953 e venduto a 50 centesimi di dollaro. Vi compariva Marilyn Monroe, a cui fu dedicato il primo "paginone centrale", in una foto scattata per pubblicazioni precedenti da Tom Kelley, e comprata a modico prezzo da Hefner da una casa editrice di calendari e poster di pin-up. La rivista, uscita senza indicazione di data nel caso che non venisse pubblicato un secondo numero, vendette l'intera tiratura di  copie. Una copia del primo numero in condizioni perfette è un pezzo da collezione quotato nel 2002 attorno ai .

Il logo della rivista fu disegnato da Art Paul e comparve per la prima volta nel secondo numero. Hefner dichiarò di aver scelto l'immagine di un coniglio con lo scopo di alludere in modo giocoso a un certo tipo di atteggiamento sessuale.

Nel 1954 nasce la Playmate, nota in Italia anche come Coniglietta. Un anno dopo, nel luglio del 1955, nel pieghevole appare Janet Pilgrim, una delle sue segretarie che accetta di posare nuda. Hugh ha trasformato la sua amante nella coniglietta del mese: la distanza tra lavoro e sesso, pubblico e privato, è minima. Pilgrim è il primo modello delle future famose-sconosciute dell'era della TV dei decenni successivi e quindi teorizzate da Warhol con la sua frase sul quarto d'ora di celebrità, che spetterebbe a chiunque. Inoltre Hefner fa entrare la vita privata nel processo produttivo rendendo pubblica la sua vita privata trasformando la segretaria e amante in "ragazza del mese". Il genere di fotografia di nudo proposta da Playboy viene definita softcore, contrapposto alla pornografia hardcore introdotta inizialmente da Penthouse e poi sviluppatasi, a partire dagli anni settanta, nell'enorme mercato dell'editoria pornografica. Tra le altre caratteristiche di Playboy destinate a fare la storia delle pubblicazioni soft o hardcore vi fu l'uso del "paginone centrale" (espressione poi entrata nell'uso comune) dedicato interamente alla riproduzione di una singola fotografia, in grande formato. Le modelle a cui vengono dedicati i paginoni centrali della rivista vengono dette playmate (letteralmente: "compagne di giochi", ma in italiano "conigliette").

Dal 1955 al 1979 (con l'eccezione di un intervallo di sei mesi nel 1976), la "P" di "Playboy" apparve decorata con un certo numero di stelline, variabile da 0 a 12. Ne nacque una leggenda metropolitana secondo cui il numero di stelle indicava una sorta di giudizio di Hefner sulla playmate del mese (sulla sua avvenenza o sulle sue prestazioni sessuali) o altre valutazioni di questo tipo. Questa leggenda risultò essere infondata; il numero delle stelle aveva a che vedere con i contenuti pubblicitari nazionali o internazionali di una particolare edizione.

I contenuti di Playboy non sono limitati al nudo, ma spaziano tra l'intrattenimento colto (già nel primo numero vi erano articoli sul jazz, sul Decameron e brani di Sherlock Holmes) e il design. Nel tempo Hefner ha realizzato per mezzo delle pagine del suo periodico, ma anche mediante le foto della sua casa, e poi dei Playboy Club, la teatralizzazione dello spazio domestico.

Playboy, con il relativo impero commerciale che gli si stava affiancando, ebbe il suo momento di maggior successo negli anni sessanta e settanta.

Nel 1969 la più esplicita rivista Penthouse arrivò negli Stati Uniti. La rivalità fra le due riviste portò entrambe a pubblicare immagini di nudo sempre più integrale per aumentare le rispettive quote di mercato e fu definita da Hugh Hefner col nome scherzoso di guerre pubiche.

L'avvento di pubblicazioni concorrenti come Penthouse e in seguito di riviste pornografiche in senso stretto (a cui si affiancarono negli anni ottanta i prodotti porno per l'home video) e di riviste dedicate al pubblico maschile dai contenuti più soft (come le europee Maxim, Max e FHM), intaccarono in modo significativo la sua posizione sul mercato. Per contrastare questa competizione, Playboy ha agito principalmente modificando anche il proprio target, e configurandosi in modo sempre più netto come una rivista "di lusso" per uomini adulti di un certo livello culturale e sociale.

Christie Hefner, figlia di Hugh Hefner, divenne CEO di Playboy nel 1988: l'incarico è terminato nel 2009 perché Christie ha deciso di dedicarsi alla beneficenza.

La rivista ha celebrato nel gennaio 2004 il suo cinquantesimo anniversario, con grandi feste a Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York e Mosca.

Playboy è anche una delle riviste più diffuse al mondo, con circa trenta edizioni pubblicate in ogni parte del mondo, dal Brasile al Giappone, dalla Lituania alle Filippine, dalla Francia all'Argentina. L'edizione italiana, la cui pubblicazione iniziò nel 1972, dopo alterne vicende, è scomparsa nel 2003 per poi tornare in vendita nel 2008 (direttore Gian Maria Madella).

Nel marzo 2016, i diritti della rivista vengono venduti ad Hammy Media Ltd (proprietario di uno dei siti pornografici più popolari del web, xhamster.com) per una cifra intorno ai 500 milioni di dollari.

Una rubrica di Playboy di particolare importanza sono le interviste mensili a personaggi celebri, divenute famose per il loro livello di approfondimento. Il testo dell'intervista viene estrapolato da confronti che possono durare oltre 10 ore. Fra gli intervistatori più noti che hanno lavorato per Playboy ci sono Alex Haley e Alvin Toffler.

La rubrica Playboy Interview ebbe inizio nel settembre 1962 (volume 9, numero 9) con Miles Davis. Fra le tante celebrità intervistate nel corso degli anni da Playboy compaiono Jimmy Carter, John Lennon, Fidel Castro, Ayn Rand, Vladimir Nabokov, Gabriel García Márquez, Allen Ginsberg, Malcolm X, George Lincoln Rockwell, Kurt Vonnegut, Bertrand Russell, Salvador Dalí, Martin Luther King Jr., Jean-Paul Sartre, George Wallace, Cassius Clay, Madalyn Murray O'Hair, Orson Welles, Ralph Nader, Arthur C. Clarke, Yasser Arafat, Steve Jobs, Stephen Hawking, Larry Ellison, Shintarō Ishihara, Robert De Niro, Carl Sagan e Barbra Streisand.

Controversie
 Molte persone nella comunità religiosa statunitense erano contrari alla pubblicazione di Playboy. Il pastore della Louisiana Ll Cover ha scritto nel suo libro "spiriti maligni, intellettualismo e logica" che Playboy ha incoraggiato i giovani a vedere se stessi come individui per cui il sesso è divertente e le donne sono la cosa con cui giocare.
 Nel 1963 la giornalista Gloria Steinem conseguì una diffusa popolarità tra le femministe per aver fatto pubblicare un diario compilato durante il suo lavoro sotto copertura come "coniglietta" al "Playboy Club". Il diario venne pubblicato in due parti (Part I  e Part II ) tra maggio e giugno nella rivista Show. La sua peculiarità era quella di essere il "racconto di una coniglietta". Steinem affermò che il club stava maltrattando le sue cameriere per ottener un maggior numero di clienti maschi, sfruttando le conigliette di Playboy come simboli di sciovinismo maschile, osservando che il manuale del club istruiva le ragazze sui "modi piacevoli che si possono impiegare per stimolare la vendita di liquori del club" .
 In molte parti dell'Asia, tra cui India, Cina, Birmania, Malaysia, Thailandia, Singapore e Brunei, la vendita e la distribuzione di Playboy è vietata. Inoltre, la vendita e la distribuzione è vietata anche in molti paesi mediorientali (ad eccezione del Libano e della Turchia), in Asia e in Africa, tra cui l'Iran, l'Arabia Saudita e Pakistan. Nonostante il divieto della rivista in questi paesi, il marchio stesso può ancora apparire in varie mercanzie, come profumi e deodoranti.
 In Giappone, dove non possono essere mostrati i genitali delle modelle esiste un'edizione separata, pubblicata sotto licenza da Shueisha.
 Un'edizione indonesiana è stata lanciata nel mese di aprile 2006, ma la polemica è iniziata prima che venisse lanciato il primo numero. Anche se l'editore ha affermato che il contenuto dell'edizione indonesiana sarà diverso dall'edizione originale, il governo ha cercato di vietare lo stesso l'uscita della rivista utilizzando le regole anti-pornografia.
 Una organizzazione musulmana indonesiana, l'Islamic Defenders Front (IDF), si è opposta a Playboy per motivi di pornografia. Il 12 aprile 2006, circa 150 membri del Fronte dei Difensori Islamici si scontrarono con la polizia e lanciarono pietre contro la redazione. Ciononostante, la prima edizione andò rapidamente esaurita. Il 6 aprile 2007, il giudice supremo respinse le accuse, a causa di un vizio di forma nel deposito degli atti.
 Nel 1986, la catena statunitense 7-Eleven ha rimosso la rivista dai propri punti vendita. Il negozio ha venduto Playboy fino a fine 2003. 7-Eleven aveva anche la vendita di Penthouse e altre riviste simili.
 Nel 1995 Playboy è ritornato ad essere pubblicato nella Repubblica d'Irlanda, dopo un divieto di 36 anni, nonostante la ferma opposizione di molti gruppi di donne.
 Playboy non è stato venduto nello Stato del Queensland, in Australia durante il 2004 e il 2005, ma tornò a partire dal 2006. A causa della flessione delle vendite, l'ultima edizione di Playboy in Australia è stata quella del gennaio 2000.

Jamie Vardy could miss England's quarter-final duel with Sweden at the 2018 Fifa World Cup in Russia on Saturday due to injury.
The Leicester City forward did not take part in the Three Lions' training for the game on Friday because of the injury.
Vardy sustained a slight groin strain as England edged Colombia in the Round of 16 on Tuesday.
The injury prevented him from taking the crucial fifth penalty in the shoot-out which Eric Dier clinically put away.
Reports in the UK media say Vardy was given a post-match injection to settle the injury, but he is still recovering despite missing Friday's training.


One of the challenges that comes with running a network is keeping your operating systems patched and secure. In response to this problem, Microsoft has released Windows Server Update Service 3.0 SP2 as a means to centrally download updates and control how they are deployed to the computers throughout your network. Additionally, WSUS provides extensive reporting features to quickly give you a snapshot of your computers' status. If your network is big enough to have a server and use Active Directory, it's big enough to benefit from using WSUS.
Despite the relative sophistication of Windows Server Update Service, it's fairly easy to get a basic installation up and running. The prerequisites are a server running Windows Server 2003 SP1 or greater, IIS 6.0 or greater, .NET 2.0 framework, and Report Viewer 2008 Redistributable 2008. If you run SQL server 2005 SP2 or greater, you can use that. Otherwise the Windows Internal Database will be installed automatically. It's worth taking a look at the WSUS 3.0 SP2 release notes for more detailed requirements.
During setup, WSUS launches a configuration wizard, giving you an opportunity to specify what languages you use, what products you want to see updates for, and what types of updates are synchronized.
Once you confirm that your server meets the above prerequisites, download the appropriate version (32-bit or 64-bit) of WSUS and run the setup. If you're upgrading from an unsupported database, WSUS 3.0 SP2 will automatically migrate your database to the Windows Internal Database. During installation, you'll need to specify an uncompressed NTFS partition with at least 6GB of free space. Once installed on a server, you can run the installation on your desktop computer for remote management.
During setup, WSUS launches a configuration wizard, giving you an opportunity to specify what languages you use, what products you want to see updates for, and what types of updates are synchronized. By default, only critical updates, definitions, and security updates are selected. I recommend selecting All Classifications, since updates aren't actually deployed unless you approve them anyway.
Using the Group Policy Management Console create a new policy and link it to the appropriate Organizational Unit.
Next you'll want to configure your clients to use the WSUS server using Group Policy. If you're unfamiliar with Group Policy, visit the Group Policy home page for more information.
Using the Group Policy Management Console create a new policy and link it to the appropriate Organizational Unit. Then right-click on the policy, select edit, and browse to Computer Configuration, Policies, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, and finally Windows Update. Here you'll want to modify the following policies.
- Configure Automatic Updates. Click Enable and then choose the option most appropriate for you organization.
- Specify intranet Microsoft update service location. Click Enable then type in the URL for your server in both fields (e.g. http://yourWSUSserver).
- No Auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates. Enabling this is optional, but highly recommended. Users get irate when their computers automatically restart without their consent.
- Enable Client-side targeting. This one is also optional. While you can use the WSUS client for putting computers in groups, you can also specify them here.
Groups are useful when you want different computers to have updates applied differently. For example, you might want to automatically install service packs for office computers, but install them manually on your servers or lab computers.
Creating groups is simple. Open the Windows Server Update Services management tool, then expand Computers, right-click on Unassigned Computers, and select Add Computer Group. You can add computers to this group by right-clicking on them in Unassigned Computers, selecting Change Membership and check the group (or groups) you want to add it to.
You can automatically approve updates using the Windows Server Update Services management tool.
Virtually no one is sadistic enough to want to manually approve each update from Microsoft. Fortunately, there's a way to automatically approve updates. Open the Windows Server Update Services management tool, click on Options and then Automatic Approvals. You'll notice there's already a rule created named Default Automatic Approval Rule. This rule automatically approves all critical updates and security updates for all computers. It's a great default rule and may be all you need. To enable it, simply check the box next to it and click apply.
It should be obvious that WSUS is a robust tool with a host of options and features. While I highly recommend exploring it further to see how else it can serve you, simply installing it and configuring the options recommended here will go a long way toward automating the management of your network.

Home / FAQ / FHA / How do I borrow money from the FHA?
FHA loans do not come directly from the FHA. Instead, the FHA is in the business of guaranteeing loans-reducing the risk to lenders and offering increased borrowing power to qualified applicants. This power includes getting better interest rates thanks to the FHA home loan insurance. FHA loans are particularly helpful for people just out of college who want a home, but have little or no money saved for a down payment.
The FHA loan is also a good bet for newly married couples, and also those who have had credit problems in the past because of foreclosure or bankruptcy. You can get a wealth of information from a qualified lender, but the first thing you should do is to check out your credit rating and get a list of lending limits for FHA loans in your area. These limits vary from state to state, and may even vary by county depending on where you live.

I do not need to show/render any pages to the user.
The purpose is to allow users to change their password with minimal effort. Our current setup is

*The user is asked to click a link (choose between change password or change security questions)

*The final page is a confirmation page which tells the user which passwords have been changed sucessfully. They have several accounts on our network. Each account has different password rules
One system may require the password can't repeat again for the last 90 passwords. Another system requires the password to be exactly 8 characters. My application checks to see if the password rules are correct. I can't check the password history. Therefore the final page would be necessary or I'd have to parse the HTML and indicate the error.

The 3 most common misconceptions about business and human rights
July 2, 2013 December 27, 2021 by alexaroscoe, posted in Human Rights, Inclusive Business
Photo Via Unsplash, Marcus Spinske
Human rights remains a topic that companies may reference perfunctorily in their codes of conduct, but few really seem to understand. In their defense, this is in part because, first, best practice standards on business and human rights are often nascent at best, and, second, human rights tend to expressed in a nearly impenetrable mass of legalistic jargon.
In the interest of bridging some of the gaps between business, development and human rights terminologies, I've identified the three most common misconceptions about human rights and business.
Misconception #1: It's all about labour rights
By far the most common misconception about human rights is that they are limited to issues typically associated with industrial relations such as freedom of association, collective bargaining, and minimum wages. These rights, along with others articulated in the International Labour Organization Core Conventions certainly sit at the heart of the business and human rights agenda, but there's much more than that.
The definitive standard in the field is the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, or UNGP. (Also known as the Guiding Principles, the Ruggie Principles or the Respect, Protect Remedy Framework. And we wonder why people find it hard to get their heads around human rights?) The UNGP looks across all international human rights law and draws distinctions between the responsibilities of the state and the responsibilities of business.
In a very small nutshell, what the UNGP finds is that business plays an equal role across the full spectrum of rights, including what are called economic, social and cultural rights. These include, but are no means limited to, areas like: the right to food and water, the right to health, and the right to a sustainable environment. In human rights terms, this is because all rights are "interrelated, interdependent, and indivisible". In more straightforward terms, this means that any given right can never be completely fulfilled in exclusion of the others.
Out of necessity, the extractives sector has perhaps gone furthest in recognizing (if not necessarily enforcing) this, particularly through the advancement of international codes on conflict, corruption and transparency. For an example of what this looks like in practice, AngloAmerican's Socio-Economic Assessment Toolbox (SEAT) takes a comprehensive look beyond labour rights, considering broader community impacts such as land management.
Misconception #2: It's enough not to violate human rights
I mentioned above that the Guiding Principles are also known as the Protect, Respect, Remedy Framework. This is another bit of specialist phraseology which means that businesses of all types are responsible for respecting rights (e.g. not enslaving people) as well as providing remedy (i.e. adequate compensation) when something does go wrong.
Significantly, the UNGP also notes that companies should conduct due diligence to identify areas of highest risk, and energetically seek to prevent rights violations (though there is no agreement about what due diligence looks like- a topic for another blog.) At its core, the respect, protect, remedy approach signals a shift from compliance with minimum legal regulations to a more proactive role in upholding human rights.
Misconception #3: It's all about business
Broadening the sphere of business and human rights may seem like it leaves too much to the private sector, but that's not the case. The first pillar of the UNGP explicitly puts the onus on governments to establish and enforce appropriate laws. This is the protect part of the framework.
What this means for companies is that they should see public sector efforts such as advancing gender equality, establishing living wages, or regulating against environmental degradation, as supporting them in fulfilling their own obligations. It's when companies lobby against these initiatives that their disregard for human rights becomes apparent.
What we can all do:
Business, international development, and human rights are three closely interrelated fields, and a stubborn persistence within each area in maintaining its own terminology only holds us back in achieving common goals. We all have a part to play in making sure this changes moving forward.
Businesses should make a concerted effort to understand key frameworks and use them to understand high risk areas across their operations. Governments should actively make and enforce policies which meet international standards. And finally, human rights advocates of all sectors should throw away the jargon so that these crucial universal standards can be universally understood and promoted.

The End of the Road for the Assisted Dying Campaign?
Sara Passmore Uncategorized October 25, 2020 October 25, 2020 9 Minutes
This article was published in Open Society in October 2020 | On October 17 2020 New Zealanders vote to decide whether the End of Life Choice Act 2019 should come into force. If more than 50% vote yes, this Act, which has already made its way through the parliamentary process and received Royal Assent, will come into force in 12 months.
The End of Life Choice Act 2019 allows people to access a physician assisted death under certain circumstances. It outlines safeguards aimed at protecting vulnerable people, and protections for medical staff who have a conscientious objection to voluntary euthanasia.
The question for us as humanists and rationalists in New Zealand is, when it comes to voting on this referendum, how do we balance personal autonomy, human rights, and the collective good?
Grant Robertson, Minister of Finance, in the third reading of the End of Life Choices Bill stated that :"Death is not just a physical event; it is also a social event."
If we take the utilitarian principle that the most ethical choice is one that produced the greatest good for the greatest number, is passing the End of Life Choice Act 2019 the most ethical choice we can make?
What New Zealanders think about assisted dying?
Repeated polls in New Zealand show that as a country we support assisted dying. A Newshub-Reid Research Poll in February this year showed 62% in support and 24% opposed the Act, and more recently a Colmar Brunton Poll in July showed 75% support and 20% opposition.
Throughout the Bill's parliamentary process a number of special interest groups spoke for and against the law change. This led to the adoption of a number of changes in the Act before it was passed by Parliament last year.
These include limiting the eligibility criteria to only people suffering "from a terminal illness that is likely to end the person's life within six months", so people who are incurably, but not fatally, suffering would not be eligible. It also includes exclusions. For example, advanced age, and people with disabilities, and mental health issues would not be eligible for these reasons alone.
However, while many of the disability and mental health groups who oppose the Act raised coercion as a concern, and the Act has remedied this through sections including that medical practitioners not being able to initiate conversations about assisted dying, many of the groups still oppose the Act. Often they cite the current treatment many people with disabilities and mental health issues receive from existing health services, and the lack of funding for services that would improve quality of life and access to health care.
However, in spite of the concerns and practicalities of enacting a law that allows for people to request an assisted death under certain circumstances, there is good reason for supporting the Act.
Lecretia Seales, a New Zealand lawyer and euthanasia campaigner who died of a brain tumour in 2015 stated that:
"I want to be able to die with a sense of who I am and with a dignity and independence that represents the way I have always lived my life".

Currently, people living with progressive illnesses have to make the painful choice to either end their own life alone, and earlier than they'd want, before the illness makes it impossible to take action without assistance, or accept what could be a long, painful death.
Is it against the Māori world view?
Atuakore, the Māori Atheists and Freethinkers group, states that in pre-colonial Māori society there was a form of euthanasia, where death was sped up for people who were incurably suffering.
This was echoed by Hon Peeni Henare in the House of Representatives debates: "The question I ask to those who say "This is not a Māori custom" is this: are you talking about a custom that has existed since the arrival of non-Māori, or is it a true Māori custom? If these people read up on the histories that have been recorded by our ancestors, they will see that Māori were able to hasten the death of another if that person was terminal, if that person was afflicted with a disease that ensured that they are not long for this world. Therefore, my ancestors have said to me, "There is no issue with easing a person's departure, or a person's passing into the long night."
Furthermore, co-founder of Atuakore, Henare Parata, said that there is no one overriding tikanga that is permanently unchanging and should be rigidly adhered to, stating that, "And even if there was a tikanga – why couldn't it change? All tikanga can (and have) change! The overriding principle on this issue is manaakitanga: providing the utmost care and comfort to others."
However, Hon Peeni Henare pointed out that the House of Representatives is not the stage for a debate on custom-based issues. Stating, "I would say: this is not the house for that type of debate. I say that laws are different to the customs and traditions of our ancestors."
MP Willie Jackson told Parliament that three high-profile Māori leaders he had spoken with said "they were tired of hearing this was a violation of our culture. "All were unanimous that in their view tikanga evolves, tikanga changes and there is no one tikanga," he said.
As a humanist
While death is something universal, the meaning of death is not.
Humanists are non-religious people who live by moral principles based on reason and respect for others. We believe that this present and physical world is the only life we experience and use reason to guide our decision making.
Our concern for quality of life and respect for personal autonomy led to the view that in many circumstances assisted dying, or voluntary euthanasia, is the morally right course.
Humanist organisations in New Zealand have long supported reforming the law to enable mentally competent adults who are either terminally ill or those who are incurably suffering, permanently incapacitated and who find their lives intolerable, to have the choice of an assisted death.
The case for equality
Being able to die, with dignity, in a manner of our choosing must be understood to be a fundamental human right.
The question "do we have a right to die" may seem strange to ask when it is a natural process that is inevitable for all of us. But as suicide is not illegal, and people are legally entitled to refuse life-saving or life-prolonging treatments, the question of whether we have a right to die is a pertinent one. Many of the strongest campaigners for voluntary euthanasia and assisted dying have been people seeking this right.
Nick Chisholm, a New Zealander who has lived with locked-in syndrome since 2000, recognised that the option to end his own life was unavailable to him unless he was willing to starve himself. In an article in the British Medical Journal he said: "I thought of suicide often (mainly when alone in bed at night). I never had enough courage then to go through with it. Even if I wanted to do it now I couldn't, it's physically impossible."
In the UK late last year, Paul Lamb, who is paralysed from the neck down and living in constant pain, failed in his legal fight for the right to die. He argued that the current UK law, which prohibits any assistance in ending another person's life, with the threat of a sentence of up to fourteen years' imprisonment, breaches his human rights against discrimination (Article 14) and respect for private life (Article 8).
While some disability groups have urged New Zealanders to reject this law change, the issues they often raise are fear of coercion and slippery slope arguments. The reality is that a majority of people campaigning for assisted death are using disability anti-discrimination laws as the cornerstone of their campaigns.
It should be noted that, even in the event that New Zealand's assisted dying law passes, people with incurable conditions regardless of the level of suffering, would not be eligible for an assisted death.
Many humanists believe that individuals should be allowed to decide on personal matters for themselves, so long as that decision doesn't harm others; and that if someone in possession of full information and sound judgement decides that their continued life has no value, their wishes should be respected.
Philosopher AC Grayling noted that "Dying is an act of living; it is indeed one of the most important events in life, and because it can be pleasant or painful, timely or untimely, tragic or desired, it is central to the character and quality of a person's life as he himself experiences it. We do not experience death, which is not an activity but a state – a state of non-existence indistinguishable from being unborn. But we very much experience dying, and just as we hope that most of our acts of living will be pleasant, we likewise desire that the act of dying should be so too – or if not pleasant then at very least not frightening, painful or undignified."
As Lecretia Seales states, "I am the one who has been inflicted with this disease, no-one else. It is my life that has been cut short. So who else but me should have the authority to decide if and when the disease and its effects are so intolerable that I would prefer to die? I want to be able to die with a sense of who I am and with a dignity and independence that represents the way I have always lived my life"
Currently, the needs and autonomy of patients are often disregarded. Anecdotally, we know that some people are in fact helped to die by doctors or nurses but without the safeguards that legislation would bring. Compassionate doctors, who follow the wishes of their terminally ill or incurably suffering patients by assisting them to die, risk being charged with assisting suicide or murder. The current system also results in close relatives being faced with the immensely difficult choices of whether, knowing that it is unlawful, to assist a loved one who is begging for help to put an end to their suffering or not to act and hence prolong their suffering.
As a member of our society
If a good death is one surrounded by friends and family does this Act allow us to have more 'good deaths'?
In New Zealand our understanding of the importance of wider family, whānau and hapū is part of our identity. While as humanists we may focus on the reduction of suffering for the individual, we need to recognise the impact this legislation change may have of the well-being of the wider group.
Assisted dying is not a replacement for palliative care. People who support assisted dying also support quality palliative care. The aim is to reduce an individual's suffering, and respecting a person's right to be treated as an autonomous human being. Some studies have found that the opportunity to discuss death freely and extensively in an open atmosphere with a loved one, and being able to share in a 'good death', may make it easier to come to terms with an impending death and reduce the trauma.
Palliative care will not always be an adequate solution for all people. For example, some people may not want to go into a hospital, others would prefer to die while they are fully alert and able to say goodbye to their family. The End of Life Choices Act allows for more choices for individuals, but doesn't remove the need for well-funded and accessible palliative care.
Grant Robertson, in the House of Representatives, in support of the Act, stated: "It is not easy to do difficult things, but unless we do difficult things, we will never do important things."

Effective: 10-01-2015
Last Revised: 08-11-2016
Responsible University Administrator: Vice Chancellor, Business, Finance & Business Development
Responsible University Office: Compliance
Policy Contact: Drew Nielsen, Compliance Officer • drewnielsen@unomaha.edu

Policy Contents
Reason for Policy
All campus units.
The University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) formally approves official campus policies through an established process, publishes those policies in a consistent format, and maintains official campus policies in a central, readily accessible policy website. Responsible administrators (as defined below) and their offices must comply with the procedures in this policy for drafting, approving, revising, distributing, maintaining, and withdrawing campus policies.
The University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) establishes campuswide policies to further the university's mission; promote consistency, efficiency, and effectiveness; and mitigate or manage significant institutional risk.
Campus policies must be thoroughly reviewed, maintained, and made available to the campus community to promote compliance and accountability. The present policy provides for a consistent, transparent, and inclusive development process; an identified authority for approving policies; a mechanism for regular review of policy needs, compliance, and effectiveness; a consistent policy format; and an accessible electronic policy library.
Development and Approval Process
1. Identification of Need and Development of Draft Policy
Campuswide policies should be based on a determination that its requirements are necessary to support a campus mission or goal; promote consistency, efficiency, and effectiveness; mitigate or manage significant institutional risk; or assure compliance with federal or state laws, rules, or regulations. A responsible office that identifies the need for a policy must draft a policy using the standard template. The draft policy is to be sent to the Campus Compliance Committee via email to unopolicies@unomaha.edu.
2. Review and Comment Period
The Campus Compliance Committee will review and provide suggestions concerning language, level of detail, readability, and potential impacts on other campus policies or practices. The responsible office, with guidance from the Campus Compliance Committee, consults stakeholders, campus leadership, and others as needed to seek feedback. After receiving input and feedback, the responsible office will update the policy draft as needed.
Unless circumstances necessitate an expedited process (see below), the policy draft must be posted on the campus policy website for a minimum of 30 days to provide a review and comment period. Any comments received will be forwarded to the responsible office.
3. Final Approval
Following the review and feedback period, the policy is routed to the Chancellor's Cabinet for final approval. Once approved, the policy will be posted on the campus policy website as "approved."
4. Distribution & Maintenance
The responsible office should communicate and distribute the approved policy broadly to the university community and key stakeholders. Responsible office should monitor compliance, measure effectiveness of policy, and evaluate feedback. Policies should be reviewed by the responsible office no later than every three (3) years from the effective date or the last update or review, to ensure that the information in the policy remains accurate and that the policy is still necessary and effective in its current form. Revisions that affect the substance or scope of the policy should follow the policy development and approval process; however, minor revisions and changes in contacts, forms, or related information may be made by the responsible office and posted without review. If a policy needs to be withdrawn, that information should follow the policy development and approval process along with any replacement policy. Review, revision, and withdrawal actions should be noted in the history section of the policy. Versions of policies that are revised or withdrawn will be archived.
Interim/Expedited Policies
Responsible offices may forego the review period and approve an interim policy via an expedited process when necessary. Special situations where this is likely may include a change in federal or state law, a significant and immediate financial opportunity, or a major institutional risk. Interim policies must use the standard template, require the approval of a Responsible Administrator, and will remain in force for up to one year from the date of issuance. The removal of the interim designation will occur after the policy completes the Development and Approval Process.
Relationship of Campus Policies to Local Policies
Academic and administrative units (including colleges, schools, and departments) may develop local policies, whether or not a corresponding campus policy exists. Local policies must be compliant with any applicable campus policy. In the event of a conflict between a campus-wide policy and a school or departmental policy, the campus policy will prevail.
Relationship of Campus Policies to Systemwide Policies or Bylaws
Campus policies must be compliant with any University of Nebraska Board of Regents policy, Board of Regents bylaw, executive memoranda, or any other University of Nebraska systemwide policy. In the event of a conflict between a campus policy and a University of Nebraska systemwide policy, the systewide policy will prevail.
Faculty, staff and students are responsible for knowing, understanding, and complying with policies that relate to their position, employment or enrollment at the university. Responsible offices are responsible for following the policy development and implementation process established by this policy, communicating their policies effectively, reviewing and updating their policies regularly, and monitoring their policies for compliance and effectiveness.
Campus Policy: A guiding or governing set of rules or principles, formally approved, to further the conduct of campus affairs. This policy encompasses only campus-wide policies, which should be distinguished from procedures or guidelines and from college, school, departmental, and/or University of Nebraska system-wide policies and bylaws. Only those policies approved in accordance with this policy will have the force of campus policy.
Campus Compliance Committee: The Campus Compliance Committee is a standing committee of representatives from a variety of departments tasked with significant policy development and oversight responsibilities. For the purposes of this policy, the Committee will serve as a resource to consult with university offices on proposed and draft policies to consider whether they are necessary and aligned with institutional mission, goals, and priorities; that policies are concise, consistent in format and scope, and easy to understand; to identify constituencies and other policies that may be affected; and to make recommendations to the responsible offices. The Campus Compliance Committee meets on a monthly basis.
Responsible Administrator: The responsible administrator is the highest ranking university officer responsible for the high-level oversight of campus policies that fall within their areas of responsibility. The responsible administrator is accountable for the substance of the policy and compliance with campus policies under their jurisdiction; and delegating to and overseeing the performance of the responsible office. Depending on the scope of the subject matter, a policy may have more than one responsible administrator.
Responsible Office: The responsible office is assigned by the responsible administrator and is tasked with the operational administration of a policy and its related procedures, processes, instructions, and forms. Depending on the subject matter, a policy may have more than one responsible office.

"Phoenix" - A$AP Rocky [YouTube Official Video]
A$AP Rocky bears more resemblance to a God-fearing minister than to a hip-hop star on "Phoenix," a track from his 2013 debut album, Long. Live. ASAP. Emmy-nominated director Francesco Carrozzini depicts the rapper as an omnipresent figure narrating the story of violent passion, which results in domestic abuse. Rocky told MTV News, "This tale of a Phoenix is it dies and is reborn in its own ashes. So metaphorically we wanted to manifest that into my video."
With the help of a star-studded cast including actor Michael K. Williams (The Wire, Boardwalk Empire) and supermodel Joan Smalls, A$AP now has a dark, cinematic visual to go along with the haunting audio. Speaking to the video's objective, Rocky told MTV News, "They don't expect the average...me with my gold teeth and swag, it's just really about a life message."
If you enjoyed A$AP's style on "Phoenix," visit iTunes to purchase other tracks from Long. Live. ASAP. Check out his Zumic artist page to see a full tour schedule.
