Into a Dark Realm
4.47 383 5 Forfatter: Raymond E. Feist Oplæser: Peter Joyce
The second book in the Darkwar series, from world-wide bestselling author of Magician, Raymond E. Feist.
Chaos threatens to overwhelm two worlds as the most dangerous force ever encountered threatens to invade Midkemia, while the most treacherous magician in history – the madman Leso Varen – begins to wreak havoc on the world of Kelewan.
Pug and the Conclave of Shadows are determined to find Varen, only to discover that he has usurped the body of one of the most powerful men in the Empire of Tsuranuani – a Black Robe and member of the Assembly of Magicians. Pug has the almost impossible task of uncovering the true identity of the fiendish magician in an entire city full of Black Robes.
Murder, mayhem, horror, and the darkest evil await Pug's son, Magnus, and his companions as they attempt to discover the ultimate source of the terrible threat that hovers over Midkemia and Kelewan. Leading a desperate expedition into the realm of the Dasati, the vast and malevolent empire which is threatening his homeworld, Magnus hopes to find the key to defeating this enemy who is capable of overwhelming the combined might of two worlds. But even if he does, the companions will have a desperate struggle to return home with their vital information.
Three worlds will teeter on the brink of destruction as the third Riftwar: the Darkwar, is unleashed.

Rescued Harbor Seal Ready for Release
Sodapop, a rescued male harbor seal named after a famous 80's movie, is ready to return home following three months of rehabilitation and recovery at the National Aquarium rehabilitation facilities! On February 15, 2013, Sodapop came to National Aquarium emaciated, with a severe respiratory infection, and cuts and scrapes on his face and hips. While in rehabilitation, Sodapop eagerly ate nearly 8 pounds of fish per day and received oral antibiotics twice a day to treat the respiratory infection. Although he was underweight when arrived, he has grown to a healthy 53 pounds.

Recurrent brain cancer, called glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) can be a life threatening condition, however, immunotherapy – which is showing tremendous promise for many cancers – is now being tested against this cancer. The trial is testing a vaccine created with the patient's own tumor tissue.
Immunotherapies are treatments that restore or enhance the immune system's natural ability to fight cancer. In just the past few years, cancer immunology has produced several new methods of treating cancer that increase the strength of immune responses against tumors.
Maine Medical Center is participating in this phase II randomized trial through its participation in the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology.
Listen in as Christine Lu-Emerson, M.D discusses how the clinical trial at MMC gives hope to patients diagnosed with a brain tumor.
Melanie Cole (Host): Recurrent brain cancer called "glioblastoma multiform" is a life-threatening condition. However, immunotherapy, which is showing tremendous promise for many cancers, is now being tested against this cancer. The trial is testing a vaccine created with the patient's own tumor tissue. My guest today is Dr. Christine Lu-Emerson. She is a neurologist and a neuro-oncologist with Maine Medical Partners Neurology.
Dr. Christine Lu-Emerson (Guest): Sure. Thank you for having me on the show. So, Glioblastoma Multiform-A is a Grade IV primary brain cancer. What this means is that this is a cancer that arises from the brain cells in our brain. So, unlike other cancers we might have heard of, this didn't spread from any other part of the body. This came from the cells in the brain itself. Unfortunately, it is a very aggressive type of cancer and, despite aggressive treatment, which often includes surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, the survival is just not as good as we would like it to be.
Melanie: So then, what's going on in the world of immunotherapy as it might start to relate to glioblastoma?
Dr. Lu-Emerson: Sure. So there's been a long history in the oncology world of looking into harnessing our own immune system in terms of attacking the tumor. It sort of makes sense because our immune system is geared up to innately recognize things that don't belong in our body, which should include tumors, and hopefully attack it, keeping us healthy. One of the big questions is, "Well, why are cancers allowed to survive in patients and why isn't our immune system doing much about it?" And so, a lot of the research done in oncology is trying to understand how cancers will bypass the immune surveillance that's going on. And in glioblastoma, what's very interesting is the tumor is, so to speak, very smart. It has figured out a way to not only directly suppress our immune system by deactivating the natural lymphocytes, our usual active immune cells in our brains, to not work, but it also increases the amount of immune cells that keeps our immune system quiet. So, in essence, the glioblastoma tumor turns off our immune system and that allows it to grow unchecked.
Melanie: So, as I understand it, Dr. Lu-Emerson, T cells are our little fighters, our little armies, and they've got blinders on when it comes to some cancerous tumors?
Melanie: So, you're working with them, right? To get them to learn that these are enemies, as it were. Now, explain to the listeners how you do that.
Dr. Lu-Emerson: Well, I'm not an immunologist but I will try to explain it the best way I understand. Basically, what we do is we help our immune system along. So, we basically will take part of the patient's tumor and mix it up with cells that are normally found in our body and these cells, when they're mixed with these tumor parts, what they do is they present these tumor parts in a way to activate the immune system. So, even though the tumor has turned it off, we are bypassing that off mechanism by helping it-- by presenting these tumor parts to the immune system and thereby activating it another way.
Dr. Lu-Emerson: So, what ends up happening is these patients who are enrolled in our trial, they all have to undergo a second surgery. Now, this is not unusual; oftentimes with patients, if surgery is feasible, we do advise them to undergo a second surgery. The advantage of this is one, it helps get rid of tumor cells that have grown back. Two, it also ensures that this is truly tumor cells that are growing back, not just some scar tissue that looks like tumor cells. So, after the surgery is done, we basically will take parts of the tumor tissue that we have collected and we mix it in with what we call "heat shock protein". Now, this is a protein that is found everywhere in our body and it's responsible for helping to turn on and off the immune system. So, by mixing these tumor parts with this heat shock protein, we're able to make a vaccine that we just inject like any other vaccine in the patient's arm and we're able to stimulate our immune cells to recognize the tumor.
Dr. Lu-Emerson: The study is randomized, so I do caution patients that they are not guaranteed and as much as I would love for all patients to try it, for a good study, we need to have a control arm, because we just don't know if this is going to work or not. So, basically, there are three arms to this study. Two out of the three arms will get the vaccine and a third arm gets standard of care which is a type of targeted drug named bevacizumab, or Avastin. That is standard. So, I do warn my patients when they're interested in this that I cannot promise you that you will get the vaccine but the odds are good that you will be one of the two arms that does get the vaccine.
Melanie: So then, tell us, is this a national study?
Dr. Lu-Emerson: Yes. This is a study that's done around the country with various institutions participating in it. As you probably know, brain tumor is just not as common as some other cancers like lung, or breast, so in order to get a good study going, we need enough patients and one center alone is not going to be enough to generate enough data for us to really know if this is going to work or not. So, this is the study that is open across the country at multiple neuro-oncology centers.
Melanie: And, what's the certain criteria that patients must meet to be involved?
Dr. Lu-Emerson: Good question, Melanie. So, basically, these patients have to have confirmed recurrent glioblastoma. In other words, when they go for their surgery, we must see that this is tumor cells coming back, not just scar tissue. Not only that, these patients who are enrolled have to have at least 90% of their current tumor resected. So, just doing a biopsy is not enough. We need enough tissue to make the vaccine. It requires a lot of tumor tissue to make it--about 5 grams. It is a little stringent in terms of inclusion criteria, but I'm hopeful that we'll be able to find some patients to meet that and enroll them in this trial.
Melanie: What else would you like them to know about what's on the horizon about immunotherapy and T Cells and glioblastoma?
Dr. Lu-Emerson: Sure. I think vaccine therapy is just one way of using our immune system to fight these cancer cells. Another thing that has come out that people might have read in the news are something called "checkpoint inhibitors". So, as I said, the tumor is very smart in that it figured out how to turn off our immune system and one way of doing it is that it signals, via a very specific pathway, to our immune system to basically being in off position. Well, drug companies have found and developed multiple medications that actually blocks that mechanism. So, this is actually being used in other solid tumors such as lung cancer, melanoma, GI cancers and we're using these drugs called checkpoint inhibitors to basically unblock the off switch, so to speak, that's been activated by the cancer cells. So, I'm hopeful that this will also come into the field of neuro-oncology and we'll be seeing this more in the use of glioblastoma.
Melanie: Absolutely fascinating, Dr. Lu-Emerson. Tell us about your team at Maine Medical Partners.
Dr. Lu-Emerson: So, we have a fantastic neuro-oncology team. We have a great set of neurosurgeons who are very experienced with respecting tumors and understanding the type of delicacy that's needed to respect a tumor from a patient's brain while leaving them as intact as possible. We have a whole cadre of medical oncologists who are quite knowledgeable about these brain tumors and provide an excellent system in terms of supporting the patient through chemotherapy. Of course, we can't forget our radiation oncologists who provide a key portion of the standard treatments that we use. In addition to that, we have a neuro-navigation system. As you can understand, navigating the world of cancer is very frightening for patients. Not only are you dealing with the struggle of "Hey, I've got something serious going on in my body," there are a lot of different doctors, a lot of different appointments that are made, and they neuro-navigators are nurses that help the patients navigate the system. Who are their doctors? Why do they have many different doctors? So, they are just as crucial to our team as the doctors, themselves.
Melanie: Wow. Thank you so much. What great information, Dr. Lu-Emerson. Thanks for being with us today. You're listening to MMC Radio and if you have more questions or want more information about the glioblastoma clinical trial, you can go to mmc.org. That's mmc.org. This is Melanie Cole. Thanks so much for listening.

A first-timer's beer guide to this North Carolina city
Drink Up, Asheville
December 17, 2019 By | Nicole Teitler
"There's no competition because we aren't like that here. We each have our own thing and everyone gets it. There's plenty of tourism to go around," an employee of Green Man brewery commented of the 11.1 million annual visitors to Buncombe County in North Carolina.
On my recent trip to Asheville, a popular tourism town in the county, I was nearly overwhelmed at how many craft breweries there were in the area. The Asheville Brewers Alliance lists 53 members on its website (www.avlbrewers.com), Green Man being one of them. It's been called the Beer Capital of the East Coast.
As my trip was only three days, I decided that hitting each and every brewery would be an ill-advised idea (just think of the hangover). So, I set out to visited a few select locations for a sample of what the expansive beer scene had to offer. Going from the South Slope neighborhood to the River Arts District, I managed to try six unique breweries. Below is a list, in order of first to last, along with my recommended taste of hops. Be advised, I'm a porter/lager type of beer drinker.
Eurisko (www.euriskobeer.com) serves a Coffee Porter using Sumatran Jambi coffee prepared by local roasters, PennyCup Coffee Co. It has a taste of milk chocolate and coffee.
Burial (www.burialbeer.com) proves that sometimes the story is just as important as the brew. Each of its labels comes with carefully detailed artwork and a brief description. The Deliver Us To Evil Imperial Porter reads "Our blood runs thick with a tempting spirit, thirsty for the darkness beneath this flimsy ground." The flavor features a blend of dark ales that are first aged in wood for over a year in dates, cinnamon, cocoa nibs, and anaheim, ancho, and cayenne peppers. If that doesn't awaken your senses, the location feels like a dark secret but has an instant sense of camaraderie.
Green Man (www.greenmanbrewery.com) was established in 1997, making it one of the original breweries to hit the scene. For the ethically responsible drinker, the name matches its practices with high-efficiency systems, and recyclable and repurposed materials. The brewery is also seeking solar paneling for continued expansion. With three locations, and growing, Dirty Jacks is the original tasting room just a hop(s) away from a much larger, 20,000-square-foot mansion. The Demon Dweller, American Imperial Stout, is the sinister twin of the seasonal stout, The Dweller, and both are limited releases.
Wedge (www.wedgebrewing.com) has two locations in the River Arts District, both established in 2008. I visited the one at Wedge Studios which also houses 30-plus artist studios, a wine bar, and more. It's a small indoor setting but outside are headlamps on the deck to keep warm, rotating food trucks, and a chance to socialize. My pick? The Golem, a Belgian Strong Golden Ale with a very heavy pour.
Wicked Weed (www.wickedweedbrewing.com) has several locations, but the Funkatorium in South Slope is the first taproom dedicated to sour beer on the East Coast. It's a large space where the hungry and thirsty come to gather both inside and outside in the Biergarten. You can order food here off the bar menu or walk directly next door to Cultura for a wider selection of eats and a full cocktail list, in addition to Wicked Weed beers. For sours, the Sandiaca impressed with a gin barrel-aged sour ale that's fermented with watermelon and basil. On tap at the time, the Bourbon Barrel Aged Milk & Cookies Imperial/Double Milk Stout quickly tied as a favorite (alongside Burial's Deliver Us To Evil).

Q: Why does javascript on the page stop the drop down menu working? I have just inserted a javascript world clock via a text doc and a CEWP.
However now that this is functional on my page I cannot see my drop downs from the top nav bar. It was working fine before I put the javascript in.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

A: Could be a script conflict, error in the world clock that's not visible, CSS override, etc. One thing you can try is opening the Developer toolbar in IE (press F12) and click the script tab, then click Start Debugging. That should reload your page and throw any script errors if there are any.
However, chances are it's a CSS issue, does the world clock have it's own CSS references? Is it overriding any OOTB SharePoint classes? Can you point us to the script?

Brett McDermott
by avenuecalgary November 1, 2016 June 19, 2019
Avenue Calgary's 2016 Top 40 Under 40.
Photograph by Jared Sych. Photographed at the Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning at the University of Calgary.
Job title: Chef and Owner, Our Daily Brett
Why he's a 2016 Top 40:
McDermott is a born-and-raised Calgarian who, in five years, has grown a small kitchen-table catering service into a bustling storefront with 20 employees, while maintaining a community-minded approach.
Good, honest food. It's a simple promise, but one that Brett McDermott delivers on daily at his boutique market and catering service, Our Daily Brett.
Launched in 2011 as a small catering company run from his kitchen table, McDermott has grown the business into a bustling storefront operation with 20 employees in just five years.
The 32-year-old chef and owner calls the 14th Street S.W. market, which opened in 2014, his "creative project," having developed the current model around the space. "I didn't have a solid plan when we first opened," McDermott says. "It's been a really organic process."
The market offers a variety of healthy selections in its small-batch salad bar, sandwiches and grab-and-go dinners that change daily and are showcased on the market's Instagram page, a visual smorgasbord that serves as testament to McDermott's prior pursuits in marketing.
While Our Daily Brett is a food-focused endeavour, McDermott's community-minded values extend beyond the walls of his own shop. Last year, he allowed his store to serve as a pick-up location for a B.C.-based community-supported agriculture program. He also supports the idea of his business as a gathering spot, contributing to the walkability and character of the neighbourhood. Plans are in place for an express version of ODB called Neighbour to launch next year.
Entrepreneurship is a key element in the success of Our Daily Brett and something that McDermott is passionate about. He has donated his time to Momentum, a Calgary-based not-for-profit that encourages women in entrepreneurship with funding and resources, by appearing as a panellist for a session on starting a small business. McDermott and his wife also created a 2016 charity calendar depicting the owners of 12 Calgary-based brick-and-mortar shops (Shop Boys) that raised $5,000 for Momentum, while promoting the local business community.
A born-and-raised Calgarian, McDermott says he's seen an exodus of friends leaving for larger cities over the years, but, for him, setting up shop just doors down from his childhood home was a natural fit.
"I've always been a strong believer that Calgary is the land of opportunity," he says. "When everyone's working in oil and gas, it leaves all these other industries that people can excel in." – Fraser Tripp

MISTRESS OF THE REVELS
Kelly 153: Serco 8(a) Games With EU Powder Bomb TRUMP, Paddock's CAI Junket Bridge, Wilbur-Heidi's Demon Greeks
December 2, 2017 Site Admin
General John F. Kelly
White House Chief of Staff
Open letter from the Cloud Centric Crime Scene Investigators of Abel Danger
Dear General Kelly:
Please accept Brief 153 from Field McConnell – United States Marine Corps whistle-blower and Global Operations Director of Abel Danger (AD) – on Serco's alleged use of 8(a) SWAT teams during the 9/11 war games to destroy evidence of snuff-film and death pool betting with aluminum-powder-laced bombs developed by Lloyd's Register and Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) under the EU TRUMP program.
McConnell believes that Serco 'gamified' the federal bridge certification authority network when junket-room 'players', allegedly introduced by the late Stephen Paddock, a former IRS, DOD and Lockheed Martin predecessor-company auditor, bet on body counts and times of deaths on 9/11 while Serco 8(a) SWAT teams, mentored by CAI Private Equity Group insiders including 7th Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, the late Gen. Alexander Haig, and former Alcan Chairman, the late David Culver, used aluminum-powder bombs in drones and elevators to destroy evidence of 'the first live-broadcast mass snuff film in human history'.
McConnell believes that Serco shareholders used Demon face-recognition software to track the Greek Life associates of Serco's former investment banker at N M Rothschild & Sons, Wilbur Ross (Kappa Beta Phi = Bankers) and the former director for the Western Hemisphere on the National Security Council Heidi Cruz (Phi Beta Kappa = Intellectual Elites), through Gamification of Government events on 9/11 where POTUS 43 George Bush was to be humiliated or even killed during junket room war games and the leaders of America's sovereign state allies would be blackmailed into accepting an EU super-state.
Call Field McConnell for a briefing on why the Five Eyes countries must help with BREXIT and why they must recognize and dismantle Serco and the CAI Private Equity Group as a joint, racketeering influenced and corrupt organization (RICO) engaged in loan sharking, blackmail, extortion, arson and murder for hire.

"SERCO: 'The biggest company you've never heard of'
JULY 7, 2013 BY 21WIRE
21st Century Wire says…
As politicians asset-strip the public's portfolio of properties, infrastructure and services, one multinational corporation has grown as a result – and its scope and reach may shock many people who have not been paying attention.
All around the globe, our governments are busy outsourcing public-sector services like health, education, police, prisons, money delivery and military – to the esteemed private sector. It's sold to the public as a solution to avoiding higher taxes, while retaining better services. But it's simply an accountancy shell game, where the government kicks the can down the road by spreading the bill to the taxpayer over a longer period of time, in order to avoid any large upfront payments – all the while, allowing a private corporation to extend its influence over society. This, by definition, is fascism.
They are called SERCO, and they run countries…

"The Lewes bomb was a blast-incendiary field expedient explosive device, manufactured by mixing diesel oil and Nobel 808 plastic explosive. It was created by Lieutenant Jock Lewes, one of the original members of L Detachment SAS in 1941. The SAS needed a combined incendiary and explosive device light enough to be carried by a small group of commandos yet powerful enough to destroy and set fire to aircraft on an enemy airfield. Weighing approximately 1 pound (0.45 kg), the Lewes Bomb could be carried in quantity by an individual."

Pro-active message's delay tolerant networks (DTNs) are based on the usage of mobile code to obtain messages that contain their own routing code. This architecture allows applications to use the same network in different ways. The keystone of this type of heterogeneous network is a collection of contextual and application-related information that it is stored in every node and accessed by the messages' routing code. Access to that information must be protected in order to make the whole architecture feasible; the operation of the network has to be secure, and attacks of information poisoning have to be avoided. We propose an identity-based access control system for pro-active message's DTN based on tools that are available in DTN networks, like symmetric key encryption and hashes. Our system grants confidentiality and integrity to the contextual information and solves the question of messages needing to use distributed information stored in nodes to route properly. The proof of concept of identity-based access control in a certain kind of application demonstrates the feasibility of the proposal. The comparison between our proposal and other access control systems shows that identity-based access control is the only system that fits well with the special characteristics of pro-active message's DTN.

"Bezos was born Jeffrey Preston Jorgensen in 1964 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Jacklyn (née Gise) and Ted Jorgensen.[14] His father, Theodore John Jorgensen, was born in Chicago.[15] His maternal ancestors were settlers who lived in Texas, and over the generations acquired a 25,000-acre (101 km2 or 39 miles2) ranch near Cotulla. As of March 2015, Bezos was among the largest landholders in Texas.[16]
Bezos's maternal grandfather was Lawrence Preston Gise, a regional director of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) in Albuquerque. Before joining the AEC, Gise had worked for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the research and development arm of the Department of Defense that was created in 1958 as the first response by the US government to the Russian launching of Sputnik I, the first artificial Earth satellite in 1957. Intended to be the counterbalance to military thinking in research and development, DARPA was formed, according to its official mission statement, to assure that the US maintains a lead in applying technology for military capabilities and to prevent other technological surprises from her adversaries. In 1970, DARPA's engineers created a model for a communications network for the military that could still function even if a nuclear attack demolished conventional lines of communication: ARPAnet, was the foundation of what would eventually become the Internet.[17] Gise retired early to the ranch, where Bezos spent many summers as a youth, working with him.[18]
After graduating from Princeton, Bezos worked on Wall Street in the computer science field.[27] He then worked on building a network for international trade for a company known as Fitel.[28] He next worked at Bankers Trust.[29] Later on, he worked on Internet-enabled business opportunities at the hedge fund company D. E. Shaw & Co.[30]
Main article: Amazon.com
Bezos founded Amazon.com in 1994 after making a cross-country drive from New York to Seattle, writing up the Amazon business plan on the way. He initially set up the company in his garage.[31] He had left his well-paying job at a New York City hedge fund after learning "about the rapid growth in Internet use," which coincided with a new U.S. Supreme Court ruling that exempted mail order companies from collecting sales taxes in states where they lack a physical presence.[20]"
"Serco Combined Resilience Exercising
http://www.epcollege.com/EPC/media/MediaLibrary/Downloads/Gold-Standard.pdf
Types of Exercise Workshop Exercises These are structured discussion events where participants can explore issues in a less pressurized environment.
They are an ideal way of developing solutions, procedures and plans rather than the focus being on decision making. Table Top Exercises These involve a realistic scenario and will follow a time line, either in real-time or with time jumps to concentrate on the more important areas. The participants would be expected to be familiar with the plans and procedures that are being used although the exercise tempo and complexity can be adjusted to suit the current state of training and readiness. Simulation and media play can be used to support the exercise. Table-top exercises help develop teamwork and allow participants to gain a better understanding of their roles and that of other agencies and organisations.
Command/Control Post Exercises These are designed primarily to exercise the senior leadership and support staff in collective planning and decision making within a strategic grouping. Ideally such exercises would be run from the real command and control locations and using their communications and information systems. This could include a mix of locations and varying levels of technical simulation support. The GoldStandard system is flexible to allow the tempo and intensity to be adjusted to ensure maximum training benefit, or to fully test and evaluate the most important aspects of a plan. Such exercises also test information flow, communications, equipment, procedures, decision making and coordination.
Simulation and Media Support The method of delivering an exercise is flexible and will be designed with the client to meet their requirements with options ranging from simple paper-based delivery through to full use of their real communications systems [Red Switch Network and Hawkeye onion router surveillance aircraft] and advance computer simulation [In Trump's death pool and war room suites]. In addition, media play can also be added in the form of news injects and the provision of experienced journalists and television crews to help test procedures and also assist in training key staff.

"Trump Tower is a 58-story, 664-foot-high (202 m) mixed-use skyscraper located at 721–725 Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th Streets in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Trump Tower serves as the headquarters for The Trump Organization. Additionally, it houses the penthouse condominium residences of the building's namesake and developer, U.S. President Donald Trump, who was a businessman and real estate developer when the tower was developed. Several members of the Trump family also reside, or have resided, in the building. The tower stands upon a plot where the flagship store of department-store chain Bonwit Teller was formerly located.
In 1979, construction of the building began, with a design by Der Scutt, of Poor, Swanke, Hayden & Connell, and development by Trump and the Equitable Life Assurance Company (renamed the AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company in 2004). Although it is in one of Midtown Manhattan's special zoning districts, the tower was approved because it was to be built as a mixed-use development. Trump was permitted to add more stories to the tower because of the atrium on the ground floor. There were controversies during construction, including the destruction of historically important sculptures from the Bonwit Teller store; Trump's alleged underpaying of contractors; and a lawsuit that Trump filed because the tower was not tax-exempt.
New York: Take a look inside the Trump Tower!
The atrium, apartments, offices, and stores opened on a staggered schedule from February to November 1983. At first, there were few tenants willing to move in to the commercial and retail spaces; the residential units were sold out within months of opening. Since 2016, the tower has seen a large surge in visitation because of Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and subsequent election—both his 2016 and 2020 campaigns are headquartered in the tower.
Serious issues concerning safety and security in the building arose after Donald Trump was declared as President-elect of the United States on November 8, 2016.[83] Trump Tower had served as a rallying point for the protests against Donald Trump in the days after the election's results were announced, thus requiring extra deployments of security officials.[84][85] The Federal Aviation Administration imposed a no-fly zone over Trump Tower until January 20, 2017,[86] and the NYPD stated that it was projected to spend $35 million to provide security to the tower, of which $7 million would be repaid by Congress.[87] The NYPD later revised its estimate to $24 million.[88] Street closures were imposed along the east side of Fifth Avenue and on the north side of 56th Street, with NYPD officers stopping and questioning pedestrians on these sidewalks as to their destinations.[89]The block of 56th Street between Fifth and Madison Avenues was closed completely to vehicular traffic, but part of the street west of Madison Avenue was later reopened to allow local deliveries.[90] Customers to the Gucci and Tiffany's stores in Trump Tower's lobby were allowed to proceed, while other pedestrians were redirected to the opposite side of the street.[89] During presidential visits, dump trucks from the New York City Department of Sanitation were parked outside the tower to prevent car bombs.[91] The press nicknamed the now-heavily secured building White House North, comparing it to the White House's West Wing.[14][92][93]"

"The Defense Red Switch Network (DRSN) is a dedicated telephone network which provides global secure communication services for the command and control structure of the United States Armed Forces." The network is maintained by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and is secured for communications up to the level of Top Secret SCI.
The DRSN provides multilevel secure voice and voice-conferencing capabilities to the National Command Authority (NCA, being the President and the Secretary of Defense of the United States), the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the National Military Command Center (NMCC), Combatant Commanders and their command centers, warfighters, other DoD agencies, government departments, and NATO allies.
Department of Defense and federal government agencies can get access to the network with approval of the Joint Staff.[2] Upon approval by the Joint Staff, DISA will work with the customer and the appropriate military department to arrange the service.[3]
The Defense Red Switch Network consists of four major subsystems: the Switching Subsystem, the Transmission Subsystem, the Timing and Synchronization Subsystem, and the Network Management Subsystem. The Switching Subsystem uses both RED and BLACK switches to provide an integrated RED/BLACK service. End users are provided with a single telephone instrument with which they can access both secure and nonsecure networks.
The DRSN carried around 15,000 calls per day prior to September 11, 2001. DRSN usage subsequently peaked at 45,000 calls per day and by mid-2003 was running at around 25,000 calls per day. In that period the Defense Red Switch Network was expanded to support 18 additional US Federal Homeland Defense initiatives.[4]
Nowadays, this network is also called the Multilevel Secure Voice service. It's the core of the Global Secure Voice System (GSVS) during peacetime, crisis and time of conventional war, by hosting national-level conferencing and connectivity requirements and providing interoperability with both tactical and strategic communication networks.[5]"
"Serco also integrated voice, video teleconferencing capabilities and situational awareness displays, along with the VDI, into the facility's network distribution system across multiple networks. The result is an integrated IP-based total capability that is centrally managed and consistent across all platforms. Serco also implemented Defense Red Switch Network (DRSN), completed a structured fiber optic and Category 6 cabling system, and participated in the construction design working group to ensure supporting systems (e.g. Power and HVAC) were able to support the 24 AF's IT needs."

"UNR Economics Working Paper Series Working Paper No. 07-001 VIP-room Contractual System of Macau's Traditional Casino Industry Wuyi Wang and William R. Eadington Department of Economics /0030 University of Nevada, Reno Reno, NV 89557-0207 (775) 784-6850│ Fax (775) 784-4728 email: eading@unr.edu January, 2007 Abstract This study provides a systematic analysis of the VIP-room contractual system of Macau's traditional casino industry. It examines the system's historical background, its organizational structure, its operational mechanisms, and its role in Macau's casino industry. This analysis examines the evolving and likely future changes in the VIP-room sector—as well as the mass market sector—caused by the liberalization of Macau's gaming laws in 2001 and the Free Individual Travelers Scheme, introduced by the Chinese government in 2003. This study develops a framework to explain how the two sectors' market shares are determined by examining the economic and cultural forces at work. The existing structure of the VIP-room contractual system in Macau's casino industry will not likely continue in its traditional way, and will be replaced by newly evolving systems consistent with the new competitive realities. However, the VIP business will likely continue in one form or another. … IV. The Main Actors A VIP-room contractual system is organized around four actors: the casino, VIP promoters, Junket operators, and VIP players."

"As the FBI continues to sift through the past of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock, an investigative focus has developed on how he earned money and the recent travels of Paddock and his girlfriend Marilou Danley, law enforcement officials familiar with the probe told Yahoo.
At least two points of travel interest were recent trips taken to Dubai and Spain, as well as more than 200 reports detailing large financial transactions Paddock made at casinos since 2014. While Danley has family in Dubai, sources told Yahoo that the FBI is seeking to determine details of all overseas trips involving either Paddock or his girlfriend, as well as any financial transactions that may have taken place on the trips.
Paddock killed 59 people and wounded more than 500 when he opened fire Sunday night on a country music festival from his suite on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Police say Paddock committed suicide before they got to his room, where they found a trove of weapons that included high-powered rifles. Las Vegas police said Paddock's attack lasted between nine to 11 minutes."
"In 1967 Paddock completed his studies at Richard E. Byrd Middle School, then graduated from John H. Francis Polytechnic High School in 1971,[13] and from California State University, Northridge in 1977, with a degree in business administration.[14] Paddock worked for the federal government from about 1975 to 1985. He was a letter carrier for the U.S. Postal Service from 1976 to 1978. After that, he worked for six years as an Internal Revenue Service agent until 1984. Then, he was a federal auditor for one year, in 1985, focusing on defense contractors. Towards the end of the 1980s, Paddock worked for three years as an internal auditor for a company that later merged to form Lockheed Martin.[15]"
"LAS VEGAS, Oct. 13 (UPI) — Former Secretary of State Alexander Haig Jr. has resigned from the board of MGM Mirage in Las Vegas, the casino said Tuesday.
The MGM Mirage did not give a reason for Haig's departure. The retired general has served on the MGM Mirage board since May 1990, the Las Vegas Sun reported.
MGM Mirage Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jim Murren said, "we are tremendously honored that Gen. Haig has played a key role in the direction of our company for the past 19 years."
"His knowledge and expertise have been instrumental in the success and development of MGM Mirage and we are deeply indebted to him for his contributions to our company," Murren said.
Haig remains chairman of Worldwide Associates, Inc.
Haig has had a full military and political career, serving as chief of staff for President Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford and Secretary of State under President Ronald Reagan. He also served as Supreme Allied Commander of NATO Forces, 1974-79."
"The Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) is an agency of the United States Department of Defense under the direction of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller). It was established in 1965 to perform all contract audits for the Department of Defense. Previously, the various branches of military service were responsible for their own contract audits.
The DCAA's duties include financial and accounting advisory services for the Department of Defense in connection with negotiation, administration and settlement of contracts and subcontracts.
… A report released by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) on July 23, 2008 alleged that DCAA managers threatened a senior auditor with personnel action if he did not remove negative findings from a report criticizing a large federal contractor. The report found a too-cozy relationship between management at the DCAA and some of the contractors they are assigned to audit, including Boeing. GAO also said auditors who complied with the investigation were subject to harassment and intimidation from their supervisors.[13][14][15]"
The DCAA responded on July 25 that it had asked the US Department of Defense's (DoD) Inspector General (IG) office to investigate the GAO's claims. "We take the GAO report very seriously," said April Stephenson, DCAA's director. US Senator Claire McCaskill said GAO may have uncovered the "biggest auditing scandal in the history of this town," and asked the DoD to immediately fire the supervisors cited in the report.[16]"
"Entrust Inc. is a $130 million privately owned software company with 350 employees. Originally a spin-off from Nortel's Secure Networks division,[1] it provides identity management [2] security software and services in the areas of public key infrastructure (PKI), multifactor authentication, Secure Socket Layer certificates, fraud detection, digital certificates and mobile authentication.[3]Headquartered in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, the company's largest office is in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Entrust reports having customers at public and private organizations in 60 countries, with 125 patents either granted or pending in the areas of authentication, physical/logical access, certificates, e-content delivery and citizen identities.[5]
… In April 2002, Entrust's PKI technology served as the foundation for the prototype of what is now the United States Federal Bridge Certification Authority (FBCA). The Federal Bridge certificate authority is a fundamental element of the trust infrastructure that provides the basis for intergovernmental and cross-governmental secure communications. Entrust's PKI is interoperable with all major FBCA vendors. In May 2000 Entrust acquired enCommerce, a provider of authentication and authorization technologies. In 1994, Entrust built and sold the first commercially available PKI."
"Entrust's First Responder Authentication Credential solution is FIPS 201-compatible and interoperable with numerous smart credentials issued by various government entities. Further interoperability comes through cross-certification with the U.S. Federal Bridge Certification Authority (FBCA) so credentials can be verified across federal, state and local agencies, and among jurisdictions. Entrust's hosted Non-Federal Shared Service Provider PKI solution is also cross-certified to the Federal Bridge Certification Authority (FBCA) and is appropriate for various non-Federal entities, organizations and agencies. This solution enables specific organizations to use digital certificates for authentications, encryption, digital signatures and physical and/or logical access, but without expensive upfront investments, in-house experts or secure facilities. The Illinois Terrorism Task Force (ITTF) is charged with the task of assuring that Illinois is ready to respond to an act of terrorism. Due to the commitment of the members of the Task Force and the ability of the associated agencies to come together in a spirit of cooperation and teamwork, Illinois has plans in place to deal with a terrorist attack in our state."

"The National Crime Squad co-ordinated arrests of suspected paedophiles across 19 separate countries on 28 November using information supplied by Demon Internet.
The Internet service provider was approached by the National Crime Squad and agreed to allow officers to access its servers. This led to the recovery of data showing the activity of nearly 1,500 newsgroups during a two-week period.
From this data, officers established that almost 10,000 Internet Protocol (IP) addresses had accessed more than 30 of the Web sites carrying paedophilia. For operational reasons this number was whittled down to just over 400 addresses of those specifically distributing paedophiliac images.
The information was then distributed via Interpol to the countries identified with the suspects, and evidence packs on each of the targets were distributed to the relevant police forces
Detective Superintendent Peter Spindler, leading the investigation for the National Crime Squad, said: "With the assistance of Demon Internet and the support and guidance of the National High-Tech Crime Unit, we are able to show that those accessing these newsgroups did so regularly and with purpose.
"We also learnt, not surprisingly, that those abusing the Internet have learnt from recent police successes how best to protect their true identities," he added.
The National Crime Squad and Serco, its IT partner, have developed facial mapping software that they hope to use to identify the abused children featured on the paedophiliac sites."
"N M Rothschild & Sons Limited or Rothschild Group (commonly referred to as Rothschild) is a British multinational investment banking company controlled by the Rothschild family. It was founded in the City of London in 1811 and now serves as the British division of Rothschild & Co, a global firm with 57 offices around the world. It is the 7th oldest bank in continuous operation in the United Kingdom.
Rothschild's financial advisory division is known to serve British nobility, including the British Royal Family. Chairman Sir Evelyn Rothschild is currently the personal financial advisor of Queen Elizabeth II, and she knighted him in 1989 for his services to banking and finance.[2]"
"Rothschild Investments [edit]
In the late 1970s, Ross began his 24 year career at the New York City office of N M Rothschild & Sons, where he ran the bankruptcy-restructuring advisory practice.[6][8]
Representation of investors in casinos owned by Donald Trump[edit]
In the 1980s, Donald Trump was in financial trouble because of his casinos in Atlantic City. His three casinos in Atlantic City were under foreclosure threat from lenders. Ross, who was then the Senior Managing Director of Rothschild Inc., represented investors in the casino. Along with Carl Icahn, Ross convinced bondholders to strike a deal with Trump that allowed Trump to keep control of the casinos.[8][9]
Establishment of WL Ross & Co.[edit]
In the late 1990s, Ross started a $200 million fund at Rothschild to invest in distressed assets. As the U.S. bubble began to burst, he decided he wanted to invest more and advise less. In 2000, the 62-year-old banker raised $450 million to buy out the fund from Rothschild and make further investments in distressed assets.[6] The new firm was named WL Ross & Co.[8][6] Staff included four top managers who, along with Ross, make up the firm's investment committee: David H. Storper, who runs trading; David L. Wax, a longtime workout specialist; Stephen J. Toy, an Asia expert; and Pamela K. Wilson, a J.P. Morgan & Co. veteran.[7] WL Ross & Co. was acquired by Amvescap (now Invesco) in 2006.[10] In August 2016, Ross agreed to reimburse investors $11.8 million and pay a fine of $2.3 million to settle a Securities and Exchange Commission probe into the overcharging of fees by WL Ross & Co. The company had self-reported the issue to the SEC and did not admit any liability.[11]"

"OTS Massacres: do the money laundering paths pass through AXA-Luxembourg?
Press communiqué, Christian Cotten, July 14, 2003
On July 13, 2001, Claude Bébéar, head of the AXA Insurance financial group, was charged in a massive money laundering and financial fraud scandal via some subsidiaries of his group, notably the Luxembourg corporation PanEuroLife. In its day the scandal got a lot of ink, at a time when this French chairman, who deposed Messier, also chaired the French committee for the 2008 Olympic Games.
What's less known is that the same man was more recently charged in another financial fraud scandal, along with thirty individuals held as assisted witnesses or charged – including many executive officers of AXA Insurance – in a sordid case of insurance policies misappropriated to launder funds of obscure origin and destination.
And where we uncover the name of a member of the family of Jo Di Mambro, the former leader of the Order of the Solar Temple (OTS) who died in Switzerland in October 1994. Plus those of many in charge of AMORC (Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis).
Let's resume brutally: according to our information, life insurance policies managed by an AXA branch in Luxembourg would have served to launder funds deriving from traffic in nuclear products, administered by certain leaders of the Order of the Solar Temple. And the timely deaths of 74 members of the Order of the Solar Temple would have allowed for recovering discreetly and easily a portion of these funds to not entirely unknown destinations, and for justifying the disappearance of the rest….
Let's resume yet more brutally: AXA Insurance and its executives would have participated in the management of secret kickbacks of 100 million dollars paid to European political organizations, and deriving from a contract for reprocessing nuclear materials destined for Iran and forbidden by the CIA at the start of the 1990s… with Jo Di Mambro, the OTS and certain Genevan businessmen as prominent middlemen. At the end of the tale: 74 dead in '94/'95 and 100 million dollars swindled by certain occult European political organizations in the states of Iran and Saudi Arabia, all with the (involuntary?) complicity of the AXA Group.
Less brutal yet even more clear: 74 OTS dead, financial profitability assured for the launderers of the great AXA Insurance washing machine, boss Claude Bébéar."

6 Second Ads: Creativity in Constraint
Other Articles by Darrel Caulfield
Wolfgang Essentials 2017 Video: The Next Evolution of the Advertising Experience
By Darrel Caulfield on 20 Oct 2017
When you think of ads with impact, there's a fair chance you'll think of the Super Bowl. Some of the most talked about ads in history fill the gaps between plays in American Football's showpiece game. Between the plays of latest NFL season, Fox will be running a new ad format; six second ads.
What Are Six Second Ads?
The six second ad format began making marketing waves on YouTube in 2016. Backing the format, YouTube's goal was to encourage brands towards understanding the value and the power of short-form storytelling, in a mobile world.
Since then, the format has attracted the attention of both traditional and digital advertisers with Fox and Facebook signalling their interest. Facebook's came about following their own stats showing users were watching autoplay video ads for 5.7 seconds. Vine were innovators when it came to the six second video clip, a duration they arrived at after testing five seconds, which was too short and Instagram's 15-seconds was too long.
This short-form video ad format presents marketers with a unique challenge. Previously, marketers have accepted the challenge to capture the audience's attention within five seconds in the hope they watch the entire video. The problem is that your audience has the option to bail on by tapping "skip this ad", leaving your carefully crafted video an unfinished story.
With this new, unskippable, ad format, the goal shifts towards telling the full story in just six seconds, removing the risk of your audience bailing.
According to YouTube's VP of Agency Sales, Tara Walpert Levy, while "people are willing - and sometimes eager - to choose to engage with longer-form content, brands also need to be able to weave in effective shorter-form messages to guarantee exposure alongside a positive brand experience."
To show they were serious, YouTube landed at the Sundance Film Festival with a challenge for creatives.
Creativity in Constraint: YouTube at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival
At this year's film Sundance Film Festival, YouTube lay down the gauntlet to agency creatives and filmmakers. The brief was to tell a story in just six seconds. The results were surprising, as rather than simply reworking longer content into six seconds, entries were films crafted especially for this new short format.
Maud Deitch has a great approach where she thinks of the story like a joke, whittling it down to a punchline. Once you have the punchline, you can then build up from there.
At Sundance, Maud at entered "The High Diver" six second ad. Dare you not to flinch:
You'll probably relate to this modern phenomenon more than you care to admit:
And finally, there's an account of the phantom ninja postman:
Reaching the Snapchat Generation
As you can see, six second ads have to be incredibly creative and the creative process is both challenging and fun. Most importantly, as "The High Diver" demonstrates, their impact can be incredible.
The now-defunct video platform Vine was a great example of how six seconds of incredible content can grab the world's attention. In the past, we've discussed how attention is the biggest online commodity, a commodity today's internet users, particularly the elusive millennial and Gen Z demographics, are frugal about parting with. The six second ad format is much more attractive and digestible for these hard to reach internet users.
The Growth of Six Second Ads in Digital Marketing
For the more traditional medium of television, Fox has adopted the six second ad format for NFL games, a sport synonymous with attention-grabbing advertising. They will also run the new form on Major League Baseball games in a double endorsement of the snackable ad format. For digital marketers, the short form video ads hold huge potential after in impressive start on YouTube through 'bumper ads' and with Facebook showing interest in the format too.
The really exciting element of this new snackable ad format is how flexible it will be, suiting a range of social platforms like Instagram, Snapchat and even the not so social Pinterest. A single message across these channels can broaden brand exposure to every demographic, including the elusive millennial as two out of every three within this demographic is on Snapchat.
Google SERPs are also getting in on the action with six second video previews now appearing in search results. Initially, the videos were reported to be autoplaying, but a quick search for "lego ninjago movie" brings the results without autoplay, suggesting Google know when they're annoying people.
Netflix, who are at the forefront of visual content creation adopted YouTube's 'bumper ads' for quickfire brand awareness around the season launch of 'Orange is the New Black". These bite-sized ads boasted a 56% increased ad recall, 19% uplift in brand awareness and a 300% increase in search queries for 'netflix' and 'orange is the new black'.
Some marketers have found success in first hitting people with a short ad and then remarketing with a longer 15 second ad, but it's early days and creatives are still getting to grips with the unique challenges and creative opporunities offered by 6 second ads.
Wolfgang Essential Takeaway
The young mobile user of today loves brands as much as previous generations, but they do hate being sold to. That's one of the reasons your longer videos are simply being skipped when they appear under the thumb of younger users. Six second ads provide you with the opportunity to tell your full story in little more than the time it takes YouTube's skip button to appear.
Massive digital leaders like Netflix have endorsed this new snackable ad format and are moving to take advantage of this trend through placements like YouTube's bumper ads. Still in their digital infancy, you can expect to see increased usage of six second ads across a range of social platforms and video on demand providers in the near future.

Siri, How Did You Get into My Car's Stereo?
Written by Dave Hall in Audi, BMW, Chrysler, General Motors, Honda, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Technology, Toyota
Is Siri about to become the voice of your car?
Apple recently announced that its voice-recognition application for iPhone, known as Siri, will be integrated into the cars of at least seven major manufacturers.
5 Cool Things About the Cadillac User Experience (CUE)
Siri lets a user control many of the iPhone's functions simply by speaking the request into the phone in normal, colloquial language. Such functions include making calls, playing music, hearing and writing text messages, finding directions, and various other features, including the ability to ask a question and receive a relevant answer.
So far, BMW, Chrysler, GM, Honda, Jaguar, Land Rover, and Mercedes-Benz have confirmed that they'll incorporate Siri into their infotainment systems, and Audi and Toyota are said to be working with Apple, as well. According to an article in trade publication Automotive News, the 2013 Chevrolet Spark and Sonic will have this feature.
A new Apple iPhone application called Eyes Free makes it possible. Eyes Free will link the iPhone to a compatible car's voice-recognition system. It will use the existing voice button on the car's steering wheel and the car's built-in microphone to access the Siri app. The user won't have to handle the phone while driving, which is considered distracting. Additionally, the iPhone's screen will remain off during the interaction to curb visual distractions. Eyes Free will debut as part of the company's reveal of iOS 6, the new operating system for Apple mobile devices, including iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
I think this is a great integration of smartphone technology. iPhone users already know how to use the Siri software, so they won't have to learn a new set of specific commands to use their car's voice-recognition system. Since it is one of the most popular smartphones, the investment on the part of the automakers may pay dividends. Like Ford's Sync, this feature could be the tipping point that causes a buyer to choose a certain vehicle over one from competitors.
It will be interesting to see if Android and Blackberry, the two major competing smartphone operating systems, will follow suit and chase after automakers with similar technology.
