Q: How to make an Epilog moveable with drag and drop I would like to make an Epilog moveable. For example, the following code generates a Manipulate with a framed pane containing some notes.  I would like the user to be able to move those notes anywhere inside the graphics area using a drag and drop.  This will allow the user to see what's behind it without completing hiding the notes using the checkbox provided.

A beautiful medieval village from the urban plan in the shape of an eagle. Città della Pieve, a few kilometers from Perugia, known since the time of the Etruscans. Home to Piero Vannucci, known as Perugino, the country stands on a hillock, near the border with Tuscany. Its distinctive features are the prevailing color of cooked, for the manufacture of which it was formerly known, and processing of Christmas cribs.
Città del Pieve and often the background of many Italian and international films.
It's a interesting town to reach renting a car during a tour.

Monmouth Battlefield State Park
Manalapan, NJ — Marks the site of the 1778 Battle of Monmouth; includes hiking and horseback riding trails and two houses from the period.
The Revolutionary leaders never intended to create an original and peculiar indigenous culture. Despite all their talk of American exceptionalism and American virtue in contrast with European corruption, they were seeking not to cut themselves off from Europe's cultural heritage but to embrace it and in fact to fulfill it. It is a mistake to view America's post-Revolutionary emulation of Europe as a legacy of helpless dependence passed on from colonial days. Americans imitated European styles and forms not because in their naïveté they could nothing else but because they wanted to.... Their revolution was very much an international affair, an attempt to fulfill the cosmopolitan dreams of the Enlightenment.

VA CIO: 'We're Not Spending Enough' on Cybersecurity Talent
Kurt DelBene, chief information officer (CIO) at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), said today that his agency is not spending enough on cybersecurity, and would benefit from being able to pay higher salaries in order to recruit and retain cyber experts.
At the 930gov conference and tradeshow hosted by the Digital Government Institute, DelBene explained that when it comes to the VA's budget, "cyber is an important responsibility" that could benefit from more funding.
"We're not spending enough," DelBene said. "These folks that are experts… are very expensive. And the salaries we have in the Federal government make it very challenging to bring these people on full-time. We would love to do that."
"We're pushing hard on getting those salaries up to be at the right place," he continued. "But it also means we're going to have to use contractors and that just means we're going to have to spend more money on cyber."
DelBene said that oftentimes, people believe that because they have cybersecurity procedures in place, their systems are secure. However, he warned that organizations must remain agile and hire quality cybersecurity engineers, as "adversaries are getting much better."
"The processes in the VA are incredibly complicated and complete in terms of quote-unquote, 'assessing our cyber readiness.' That's a good thing. We also have defense in depth from multiple dimensions, which is a good thing as well," he said. "It can't take the place of having great cyber engineers looking at a particular system – for instance, at an ATO – and saying, 'do I believe this is a secure system?'"
One of the transformations DelBene is trying to drive at VA is to ensure there is a security checkpoint. While cyber procedures and tools are great, DelBene said there has to be some sort of checkpoint, "whether it's FITARA or the ATO process," before putting systems on the network.
"There's nothing more important than cybersecurity. And it sounds like a platitude, it's not," he said. "And so just getting people to understand that even before that next feature, being secure is what's more important… and that is a transformation."
DelBene also said that he is "a firm believer in zero trust," and is currently focused "a great deal" on the VA's zero trust roadmap in order to think holistically about his agency's cyber posture.

Amazon have once again delivered another product to disrupt the marketplace. The Amazon Fire Stick is a direct compete against the likes of the already well served HDMI based media player market.
And we are well served for choice with both Roku and Google delivering very good products. But once again Amazon brings something with just a little extra than the competition.
The Fire Stick packs more memory, storage and features than the competition for a price that is hard to argue with. But its the integration with the wider device eco system that has us all excited. Voice control apps for your Android (IOS Coming Soon) and another app for your Kindle Tablet or Fire Phone which allows a second screen experience to your movies, powered by IMDB.
And then its the integration into the other Amazon services that make this very compelling. Ok so not super great if your outside of the USA, however the app support does allow you to get a very low cost media end point for services like Plex, with added TV support for HDCP.
And then there are the Games.. This is seriously a lot of magic for one small device.
Back to back with the competitors it looks like a serious thorn in the side of Google and Roku.

/Packaging solutions for 3D integration of superconducting qubits
Packaging solutions for 3D integration of superconducting qubits
Explore imec's 3D integration expertise to develop scalable architectures for large-scale superconducting quantum processors
Quantum computing aims to solve some of the most difficult problems human-kind faces more efficiently than classical computing algorithms are capable of. As a result, there is growing interest in industry and leading academic-research labs to push the current limits of this new paradigm of computing in order achieve quantum advantage [1]. Qubits, which are the fundamental computational unit of a quantum computer can be physically implemented using various platforms, namely, photons, electron and nuclear spins, quantum dots, ions, neutral atoms, superconducting anharmonic oscillators (superconducting qubits) etc. Out of these, superconducting qubits have emerged as one of the prime candidates for large-scale implementation of quantum processors. These qubits, along with their control and readout circuitry, can be fabricated using standard cleanroom processing technology using superconducting materials and their properties can be fully engineered by design, giving the experimenter a great deal of flexibility [2].
Qubits, however, are prone to their environmental and thermal noise. Superconducting qubits, in particular are also sensitive to losses in various material interfaces which causes energy relaxation and dephasing. This leads to infidelity in their state preparation and readout. To protect qubits from decoherence and errors thereof, several error correction protocols can be implemented [3], where, a single logical qubit can be encoded in many physical qubits below a finite error threshold. The overhead required in terms of physical qubits for error correction can reach several thousands to about a million qubits. Lateral, planar 2D wiring schemes seen in present day superconducting quantum processors cannot be used in next generation processors where large number of qubits are required.
3D wiring technology used in standard CMOS processing offers a natural solution to this problem. Here, the qubit chip(s) and the readout and control chip(s) can be stacked together and interconnections between them can be made using though silicon vias (TSVs) and flip-chip bonding [4]. The challenges, however, are (1) in choosing the right materials and processes which are compatible with qubit fabrication, (2) design and simulation of the necessary qubits and their control and readout elements, (3) understanding losses in these structures, (3) room temperature and cryogenic characterization of devices, (4) designing experiments to study reliability under various conditions, (5) developing intelligent packaging solutions, to name a few. At imec, we are focused on addressing these many challenges by leveraging our in-house expertise in quantum computing and 3D integration. Our state-of-the-art 200mm and 300mm cleanrooms provide an ideal environment for the production of high-quality, low-variability devices [5].
To advance our efforts in 3D integration of superconducting qubits and solve some of the challenges highlighted above, we invite highly-motivated and interested students to pursue a PhD in this direction. We seek someone with a strong background in electrical (preferably microwave) characterization, materials characterization, simulation (HFSS, Comsol, ADS) and programming (preferably python). Experience in microwave engineering and quantum mechanics is a strong plus.

I have accepted fear as part of life–specifically the fear of change~! I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back.... I have lived my life according to this principle: If I'm afraid of it, then I must do it.
For years my biggest fear, was fear itself. I always scared myself with thinking about "what if?" This is something you normally cannot control, as life happens and curve-balls come without warning!
You one day may be on top, and the next you may hit rock bottom --- but if you worry constantly about that you will never be able to live your life!
We have worked closely with Cecilia, an elevated life coach, who works using celestial mobilities from the astral realm to extract peace and solace to the aura of humans.
She has made several pieces available for us, so our customers can stop living in fear! Take back control of your life by releasing the tensions and worries that have been holding you back.
Life is worth living, and you need to start living it freely without the constant pressures and concerns that have been hindering your life~!
If you constantly are under stress you are slowly taking away years off your life. The worry and stress will decay the brain stem, and cut your life short -- that is the prevalence of this piece.
Utilize the energy in this item to prevail in hind sight by being able to live each day to its fullest... without being lost in worry and concern.
This will not take away your compassion for others, or yourself, but will allow you to not take everyone else's issues and make them your own! The natural changes that will progress from the power of this piece will alleviate SO much strain in your life that you will feel like you have been re-birthed!

What are the prerequisites for having vascular closure devices inserted?
A vascular closure device is a mechanical closure of the arteriotomy designed to provide immediate haemostasis after an angiogram. Devices can either be a piece of collagen, a metallic clip or a suture.
The decision to use a vascular closure device at the completion of an angiographic procedure is made by the clinician carrying out the angiographic procedure. Referrers should have a general awareness of the decision making process surrounding vascular closure devices, so that appropriate clinical information can be provided as part of the request for the angiographic procedure.
Factors that would influence the use of a vascular closure device after angiography are:
Special need to shorten time to ambulation and discharge after an angiographic procedure.
Large size sheath used during angiographic procedure (size >8f)
Obesity and other situations where manual compression following the procedure is difficult.
Older, sicker, or patients who are unable to lie flat for prolonged periods.
Need to reduce bleeding complications, such as the requirement to have the angiographic procedure while anticoagulated, or to commence anticoagulation or antiplatelet agents after the angiographic procedure.
The radiologist carrying out the angiographic procedure will make the decision about whether a manual closure device or simple compression of the puncture site with a finger will be used to stop the bleeding at the end of the procedure. Referrers need to know about these devices because of potential complications that can occur if these devices are used instead of manual compression.
What are the adverse effects of having vascular closure devices inserted?
In most cases, vascular closure devices work to stop bleeding from the artery immediately. Very rarely, certain complications can occur. The main complications include:
Obstructing foreign body (less than 1%) presenting as new onset claudication or critical limb ischaemia.
Infection (less than 1%). This usually becomes apparent approximately 1 week after the procedure, presenting as pain, swelling, redness and fever. Treatment of infection is with antibiotics and, in severe cases, surgical drainage and exploration.
Delayed bleeding (2.5-5% of cases). This may indicate a pseudoaneurysm, which can clot spontaneously and either resolve itself or persist, and be at risk of rupture and further bleeding.
Persistent puncture site pain post procedure and if this persists longer than 1 week the proceduralist should be contacted.
Other complications are those of the angiographic procedure (see Angiography)
Are there alternative imaging tests, interventions or surgical procedures to insertion of vascular closure devices?
Manual compression is the most commonly used method for haemostasis after an angiographic procedure. In most cases, it is very successful, but typically involves compression for at least 10 minutes, followed by approximately 4 hours of bed rest with the patient lying flat. Manual compression is uncomfortable for the patient during the period of compression. Longer duration of compression is required in patients with larger sheaths, coagulopathy or on anticoagulation. Manual compression is less successful in larger patients. Patients who are unable to lie flat for the 4 hour duration are at an increased risk of bleeding.

What is Nitrosamine Impurities
What are nitrosamines?
Nitrosamines, or more correctly N-nitrosoamines, refer to any molecule containing the nitroso functional group. These molecules are of concern because nitrosamine impurities are probable human carcinogens (a substance capable of causing cancer in living tissue). Although they are also present in some foods and drinking water supplies, their presence in medicines is even so considered unacceptable.
Nitrosamines are chemical compounds classified as probable human carcinogens on the basis of animal studies.
EU regulators first became aware of nitrosamines in medicines in July 2018 when nitrosamine impurities, including N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), were detected in blood pressure medicines known as 'valsartans'.
There is a very low risk that nitrosamine impurities at the levels found in medicines could cause cancer in humans.
What is Valsartan :
Valsartan is an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB) and belongs to a family of analogue compounds commonly referred to as the sartans.
Further nitrosamine impurities were subsequently detected in other medicines belonging to the sartan family, including: N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), N -nitrosodiisopropylamine (NDIPA), N -nitrosoethylisopropylamine (NEIPA) and N -nitroso-N-methyl-4-aminobutyric acid (NMBA).
More recently, nitrosamine impurities have been reported in pioglitazone and ranitidine containing products.
Why are they Present :
The formation of nitrosamines is generally only possible when secondary or tertiary amines react with nitrous acid. Nitrous acid itself is unstable but can be formed in situ from nitrites (NO2) under acid conditions.
In the case of the sartan compounds, most contain a tetrazole ring and formation of this tetrazole ring employs the use of sodium nitrite. Coincidently the solvents employed either were amines, or contained traces of amines, and this likely afforded the observed NDMA and NDEA. The origins of NDMA content in batches of ranitidine currently remains unclear.
However, during on-going investigations it was also concluded that the possibility for nitrosamine impurity content was broader than simply the concurrent presence of nitrites and amines in the synthesis of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).
Evidence suggests that sources of nitrites or amines as unintentional contaminants of starting materials, reagents and solvents – such as dimethylamine in the common solvent dimethyl formamide (DMF) – may also provide circumstances in which nitrosamines may form. The carryover of nitrites or amines from subsequent steps may also afford opportunities for formation.
Contamination from External factors :
Notably, contamination from external sources has been identified as a source of nitrosamine content. In particular, contamination from the use of recycled materials and solvents that already contain levels of nitrosamines. A cited example of this involves the use of recycled DMF, which is quenched with sodium nitrite to destroy residual azide as part of the recovery process. Furthermore, the recycling of materials and solvents is often outsourced to third parties who may not implement adequate controls in view of the content of the materials they are processing.
So during Risk Assessment of Nitrosamine impurities in Finished products we have to considered the below factors for sources of contamination (But not limited to).
a) API may contain Nitrosamine impurities- which may be carried forward to Finished product.
b) Excipients may contain Nitrosamine impurities- which may be carried forward to Finished product.
c) The incompatibility/ reactivity of the raw materials (APIs and Excipients) used in finished product formulation may lead to formation of Nitrosamine impurities.
d) Purified Water may be contaminated by nitrosamine impurities.
e) Manufacturing process may lead to formation of Nitrosamine Impurities due to the use of sodium nitrite, other nitrites, recycled reagents or solvents.
f) Equipment surface may add nitrosamine impurities during processing of the product and same shall be carried forward to finished product
g) Primary packing materials in which drug products are packed
h) The air supplied to the processing cubicle may carry nitrosamine impurity contamination to the product
i) The compressed air supplied to the processing equipments may carry nitrosamine impurity contamination to the product
These broader concerns have prompted the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to request that Marketing Authorisation Holders (MAHs) of all Finished Pharmaceutical Products (FPPs) conduct risk assessment to determine the risk of nitrosamine presence during the manufacturing of Human medicines.

New World of Darkness play by post game......

The World Knows........
In the mid 1980's the world's government and financial institutions began a steady decline. By the beginning of the 1990's, world war three was on the horizen and the human race was on the brink of self-destruction. Nations were already splitting over financial and religious desputes. The American government was near total collapse and it was taking the rest of the world with it. European markets were crashing and the general state of the human race was panic.
While most supernatural races did not care for humans, they did understand the concept of sharing the same space. After all they had been doing it secretly for thousands of years. Most of the races agreed that something needed to be done before the humans destroyed them all but none could agree on a course of action. A particular vampire Prince by the name of Lyson Ryath came forward and offered a possible solution to the supernals dilema. His proposal was simple, reveal their existence and give the humans something else to focus on besides their own destruction. This solution was met with a great deal of opposition at first. After all, what Ryath was advising was little more then a war against the humans. Revealing their existence would be met with severe prejudice. It was the whole reason why they had kept their idtentities secret in the first place. However, it did not take very long for the other racial leaders to realize if something drastic was not done soon their world would be torn apart by human war.
A council was formed consisting of one representative for each race. A mission statement was composed and signed by all council members and a copy of this statement was sent to each government of the world. At first it was considered a hoax and most world governments tossed it aside, not daring to believe that something of that caliber could possibly be real. Ryath expected this reaction, however and instructed his people to finally breech the veil of secrecy they'd cast upon themselves and show their inhuman abilities in the open. He specifically ordered them not to harm any human unless they were attacked first. For the most part, Ryath's orders were followed. There were a few over zealous individuals who took Ryath's order to mean it was open season on any human they came across but those who disobeyed orders were soon hunted down and disposed of. Ryath wished the humans to view their new neighbors as allies, rather then something else to attempt to eliminate.
Once most of the world's government realized the mission statements they'd received were truth, they began to mobilize their armies to destroy the evil monsters that resided among them. Ryath had planned for this reaction as well and so had most of the council. Humans have a tendency to want to destroy what they do not understand. Ryath sent a council member to every major government around the world to attempt to negociate a peace between all races. If the monsters could over come their prejudices and work together, then so could the humans.
The plan did not work exactly as Lyson Ryath had envisioned. He had hoped that the humans would come to realize they could not possibly win against the supernals and would then embrace them as distant cousins. This was not the exact effect he received. Instead there was ten years of savagry and bloodshed as the humans tried to wittle away from the world what they did not understand. These years came to be known as the Decade of Darkness as they were marked by nightmarish attrocities and many deaths of all races involved.
In the end it was the younger generation that finally saved the world from decimation. Children have no real concept of differences and they calmly accepted the other races at face value. During the years of savagry, the younger generation chose to get to know their strange cousins and learn from them rather then fear them and try to destroy them. It took time for the world's governments to come to the conclusion that they were not winning this war. A few of the larger country's leaders took a step back and watched what the younger generation was doing. They decided it might be best to take Lyson Ryath's representatives at their word and attempt a tentative peace.
A truce was struck in 2005 and most of the world began to rebuild their societies. At first, human leaders tried to maintain their superiority and demanded the other races follow all human laws. The supernal representatives agreed to these terms but pointed out the flaw in this request. Most supernaturals could do things that humans could not and there would need to be laws to cover those abilities if they were abused. The American, European, and Canadian governments saw the logic in this suggestion and worked with the supernal representatives to make laws and establishments that would police their contry's non-human citizens.
In 2010, it was announced in America, Britain, and Canada that supernaltural races were now considered legal citizens and had all the basic rights of any human being. Special establishments and law enforcment groups were created to police the supernal races.
Today there is still prejudice and racial tensions, however supernaturals are accepted on a much wider scale. The world is a changed place and the mortals know that some of their nightmares do actually exist. This is where we pick up our adventure. Can your character survive in this new and unknown world?

JoAnn and Charlie Fryling's colorful table decorations helped create an ambiance for enjoying a Thanksgiving feast prepared by many hands. Julie Ruckstuhl's creative 60th Anniversary logo served as a backdrop to remind us of the reason for our celebration. Earlier in the day in the Intergenerational morning services we paid tribute to the Founders and Pillars who charted the way for our thriving church 60 years ago. And so, as we end our six-decade milestone celebration, we move toward the next decade - and milestone - bolstered by the hope and optimism they left us as a legacy on which to build for the future.
The December Habitat for Humanity house build will bring to a close twelve months of 60/60 Volunteer Service Projects that have helped to extend our outreach to the community and service to a number of agencies. Many members and friends have volunteered to serve, and we have exceeded our goal of 60 congregate hours each month. Individuals who attained the status of "60/60 Achievers" will be recognized in January. Congratulations to all who, through participation in monthly projects or volunteer service, joined in our goal of "helping to make this a better world" through service to our community.

This seem to be more complex then I thought.Is there a way to do it with tablesorter or is the best way to have my own functions? Any ideas?

A: Try this (demo):
CSS
.hidden { display: none; }

HTML
<select class="search" data-column="0">
    <option></option>
    <option>...</option>
</select>

...

...

Script
$(function () {
    $('table')
        .tablesorter({
            theme: 'blue',
            widgets: ['zebra', 'filter'],
            widgetOptions: {
                filter_external: '.search'
            }
        })
        .on('filterEnd', function(){
            $(this).toggleClass('hidden', this.config.filteredRows === 0);

… it gives me great pleasure to support the first ever publication to specifically address the area of research, and in particular its relationship with practice, in the discipline of architectural technology…not only ground breaking because it is the first book of its kind, but also because it provides at long last one of the accepted foundations needed to underpin the emerging academic discipline, namely a recognised research base.
CIAT, in supporting this publication, is aware of the need for books such as this to sustain the process of research informed practice, as an aid for both students and those practising within the discipline of architectural technology.
Architectural technology is the realisation of architecture through the application of building science, forming the constructive link between the abstract and the physical.
Architectural Technology: research and practice demonstrates the importance of research in architectural technology and aims to stimulate further research and debate by enlightening, informing and challenging readers.
Chapter authors address the interplay between research and practice in the field of architectural technology, examining the influence of political, economic, social, environmental and technological issues. The focus throughout is on creating sustainable buildings that are constructed economically and function effectively and efficiently within their service life cycle.
The book's mix of chapters and case studies bring together a number of different themes and provides invaluable insights into the world of research from the perspective of those working within the architectural technology field - practitioners, academics and students. The underlying message is that architectural technology is not just a profession; it is a way of thinking and a way of acting. This is highlighted by contributions from architects and architectural technologists passionate about architectural technology as a field of knowledge. Contributions range from the theoretical and polemic to the pragmatic and applied, further helping to demonstrate the richness of the field.

Oak Bluffs building inspector said extensive sound proofing has been completed at The Barn Bowl and Bistro.
Mark Lovewell
Selectmen Grant Entertainment License to New Bowling Alley
Steve Myrick
Wednesday, June 10, 2015 - 12:47pm
The Oak Bluffs selectmen this week approved an entertainment license for The Barn Bowl and Bistro, and granted an exception to a policy of prohibiting construction in the business district after June 1.
The entertainment license allows the new bowling facility to operate foosball, shuffleboard, air hockey and ping pong, and show videos. The license had been previously delayed over noise complaints from the bowling alley's neighbors.
Building inspector Mark Barbadoro told the board Tuesday that extensive sound proofing required as a condition of permitting has been completed, and sound tests showed the noise level is well below the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection standard for nuisance noise, which is 10 decibels louder than ambient sound.
Selectman Gail Barmakian said the board is still getting complaints from at least one neighbor about the sound of bowling inside the building.
Developer Sam Dunn asked to continue work on painting and trim work until June 30. Selectmen opted instead to grant a policy exception until their next meeting, June 23. Work must be done between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., and no construction is allowed on the weekends.
In other action, selectmen also were officially invited, along with the public, to the opening ceremony for a new trail system at Sailing Camp Park, funded through Community Preservation Act funds.
Conservation agent Liz Durkee said the new trails open up a large area of town conservation land that, until now, was not accessible.
"We now have a trail system," Ms. Durkee said. "It's a nice circular walk. There are two new scenic overlooks and two new parking areas." The trails are accessible to people using wheelchairs. The official grand opening is Sunday, June 28, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., but the trails are open now from dawn to dusk.
Also Tuesday, selectmen granted two new taxi licenses to Your Taxi. Owner Diane Habekost will increase her fleet from six to eight vehicles.
They granted a license to MV Water Taxi, to operate a boat carrying passengers from Oak Bluffs to Edgartown.
Selectmen adjusted traffic regulations to prohibit parking on the west side of Uncas avenue, except for spaces directly in front of the Barn Bowl and Bistro. Parking will be allowed on the east side of the narrow street.
In his report to selectmen, town administrator Robert Whritenour said the town's financial targets are on track, with just a few weeks left in the fiscal year, but weather could affect local revenue.
"We're 5.9 per cent over what we collected last year, and last year was a world record for the town," Mr. Whritenour said.
He also reported that the project to dredge Little Bridge and renourish town beaches is nearly complete, and announced a contract has been signed to begin a $6 million project to repair and rebuild the seawall and boardwalk along Sea View avenue. The project is funded mostly by state grants.

outdoor in our hearts
If it seems counterintuitive that a pioneering tech company would latch onto out of home—among the oldest forms of advertising—allow Apple's Tor Myhren to explain. Billboards and other "outdoor expressions" hold a special place in a transient world, said Myhren at Adweek's Elevate: Out of Home event. "We absolutely love outdoor," he said. "It breaks all the rules of today's fast and temporary and fractured digital culture. It's static, it doesn't move, it's singular—all the things that most of marketing nowadays is not." Apple and its dedicated agency, TBWA\Media Arts Lab, initially launched the Cannes Lions Grand Prix-winning campaign "Shot on iPhone" in 2014, and it's still going. Envisioned from the start for outdoor placement, "Shot on iPhone" took the then-nascent selfie and blew it up—in some cases to 80 feet tall—to…
climate pressure
Members of the creative economy aren't waiting on world leaders when it comes to climate change. An open letter released by activist groups Slow Factory and Clean Creatives calls on the world's biggest public relations firm, Edelman, to cut ties with a major fossil fuel client: ExxonMobil. And the pressure is coming from within the firm: Many of the climate-focused creators who helped organize, write and recruit over 100 high-profile signatories have worked with Edelman to connect with brands on sustainability campaigns. "Edelman's fancy ads are giving ExxonMobil social license to operate, and thereby to destroy our climate," said activist Ayana Elizabeth Johnson.…
michelle wahler
Before channeling her brand of positivity into activewear as co-founder of Beyond Yoga, Michelle Wahler was putting it on T-shirts. Originally hailing from Maryland, Wahler went to college in Florida for graphic design and marketing. After graduating, she moved to New York to work in publishing, first at People magazine and then Harper's Bazaar. At the same time, the artist and designer at heart also began drawing illustrations of her friends, which she would put on T-shirts to give as birthday presents. "I didn't really make any money [working in publishing], and I couldn't buy them anything nice," she recalled. The hobby turned into a company, Unsweetened, with tees featuring illustrations of women—"kind of an un-sugarcoated version of them." Word-of-mouth led her to start selling wholesale and took Wahler to California with the intention…
simone biles suggests it's time to redefine winning
It was a "do you remember where you were when…" moment. Simone Biles had pulled out of most of the Tokyo Games. Not for Covid. Not for a sprain. But to take care of her mental health. When the news alert popped up on phones across America, you could almost feel the collective pause as everyone took in something they hadn't seen before. An elite athlete walking away from a competition she'd trained her whole life for, choosing to put herself and her team before any personal glory. Of course, after the pause came the opinions. Chief among the questions in coffee shops and Twitter circles was what would her endorsers do? In this week's edition of Adweek, creative and inclusion editor Shannon Miller deftly takes us back to that watershed moment, speaking…
cracking open the coke review
After Coca-Cola spent 11 months reviewing its global marketing, the iconic advertiser finally found a winning partner in the world's largest advertising holding company, WPP. Monday's announcement, however, left more questions than answers about the review. Coca-Cola's initial announcement highlighted WPP as the big winner, taking on media buying for all markets, with the exception of a few select markets in Asia, where Dentsu has a strategic advantage. In total, it amounts to more than 90% of the media business falling to WPP. On the creative front, WPP shops will lead a number of strategic partners, including McCann, Mercado and Leo Burnett. Coca-Cola global CMO Manolo Arroyo told Adweek WPP will receive a minimum of 65% of the creative work. Wieden+Kennedy and Havas' full-service agency BETC are among a number of shops that…
making the outdoors more inclusive
LONDON—Phil Young, founder of outdoor lifestyle agency Mighty Mighty, has loved spending time outside since the first time he hit the ski slopes as a teenager. After that experience, he became a snowboarder, cyclist, trail runner and skateboarder, and even cohosted a snowboarding TV show. But over time, a realization dawned. "I've always been the lone person of color in anything I've done," he said. "I rarely see anyone who looks like me [in the outdoors]." London-based Young is now part of a wave of trailblazers aiming to tackle the lack of diversity in outdoor activities. Though the outdoors is often seen as the ultimate free and welcoming destination, more brands are finally recognizing this hasn't been the reality and are taking the lead from grassroots groups that want to truly open…

ANADARKO — Investigators interviewed a woman Thursday about a break-in at a house she owns next to the Christ Holy Sanctified Church, where the Rev. Carol Daniels was killed Sunday morning.
Alicia Theif told The Oklahoman the break-in happened last month.
Tips such as Theif's have been flowing into the police station since Daniels' cut and bloodied body was found Sunday around noon, police Capt. Dwaine Miller said. The 18-year veteran of the Anadarko police force said he has personally fielded "about eight tips a day" since Sunday's homicide.
"We're tracking down every lead," Miller said. "I want the public to know we're doing everything we can to solve this crime. Right now we're just looking at a lot of information – any information. We have no suspects. We have no idea who did this.
One of the best pieces of evidence might be video surveillance of the area captured between 10 a.m. and noon — the window of time in which Daniels was killed, Caddo County District Attorney Bret Burns said. Daniels arrived at the church about 10 a.m. after driving 60 miles from her Oklahoma City home.
Authorities have sent the video to an Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation lab for enhancement.
Leonard Miller, 68, of Anadarko remembered Daniels as a "sweet lady" who occasionally spoke at his Greater First Baptist Church. Miller said he often stopped by the church.
Authorities remain tightlipped about the crime scene, and whether they think it was a ritualistic killing.
Jack Levin, a professor of sociology and criminology at Northeastern University in Boston, said the staging generally indicates a killer wants attention.
