Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty
The late Brit designer gets a major retrospective set up in his honour at New York's Costume Institute
Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty21
"Life to me is a bit of a Brothers Grimm fairytale" once remarked Lee Alexander McQueen. Sadly for him, it turned out to be a particularly dark and tragic one that ended on Feb 11, 2010 with his suicide in his Mayfair flat. A year on from the tragedy, McQueen has received the ultimate posthumous accolade – a retrospective at the Costume Institute in New York – becoming only the second designer (after Gianni Versace in 1997) to be honoured so soon after his death. 'Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty', which opens on May 4, traces the evolution of the designer from his Jack the Ripper-inspired 1992 MA collection right through to the wondrously tender collection based on the art of Hieronymous Bosch that was to be his finale.
With unparalleled access to the McQueen archive, sets designed by Sam Gainsbury (whose company Gainsbury & Whiting was responsible for the ground-breaking, sense shattering runway shows McQueen staged over the years) and access to the memories and recollections of McQueen's closest confidantes, including his trusted lieutenant of 14 years (and now creative director) Sarah Burton, the exhibition promises to be a fascinating insight into the mind of one of Britain's most influential designers. Dazed spoke to curator of the exhibition, Andrew Bolton.
Dazed Digital: What was your reaction to the first McQueen show you saw?
Andrew Bolton: The first show I saw was "Number 13" with Shalom Harlow where she is rotating on a dais and being sprayed by robots. It was one of those incredible moments where you weren't sure what was happening. The whole show was extraordinary – it was based on the 19th century Arts-and-Crafts movement and had this handcraft feel and then to end the show with these robots – he had upended that whole aspect of the show and it became about man and machines. The power of McQueen's work lies in the frisson and contrast of complete opposites.
DD: You write a beautiful thing in the catalogue where you say of McQueen, "for him, love is the most exalted of human emotions". How did you see that translated to his work?
Andrew Bolton: I came to that conclusion quite late in the exhibition honestly. I was able to read every article published on McQueen and he would talk about love and his search for love. His shows would really reflect his state of mind when he did them. For example, in "The Girl Who Lived in a Tree", he'd just come back from India and had a spiritual experience there. So it was a very gentle, very soft, very whimsical collection. Not a lot of anger like in his early collections – the anger dissipated as he matured even though it was always there. He was a very emotional designer and the rawness of his emotions was often reflected in his clothing.
DD: More than any other fashion designer in recent memory, his work was intensely autobiographical. How do you think he took elements of his own history and made it resonate so widely with people?
Andrew Bolton: A really good example of that was the witches collection – "In Memory of Elizabeth How" – at the time it seemed so removed from contemporary culture. It was deeply autobiographical because it was about one of his relatives who was burnt at the stake at the Salem witch trials. But the way he talks about it, it wasn't just about his relatives but that at any particular moment, it was about any minorities who had been persecuted, be it gays, Muslims or blacks. So it became this continuation of his thoughts from his autobiography into history and into contemporary culture.
DD: Why was now the right time to stage a retrospective on McQueen?
Andrew Bolton: When he first passed away, there was all this speculation about what was to happen to the archive. From my perspective, I was nervous that I didn't want it to be left too long. I also didn't know what was going to happen to the team: Sarah Burton who worked with him for 14 years, Trino Verkade, Sam Gainsbury. I really wanted to tap into their memories of him. I felt by collaborating with them, I could understand his design process better. I thought it would have more truth and integrity to it. It's a very personal exhibition actually – you really get a sense of him when you look at these clothes that were so beautifully crafted, but it was also through clothing that he could express quite complex views and concepts.
DD: Considering a lot of his early work was sold to friends and patrons, with not a lot of photographic evidence of it, how did you go about sourcing pieces for the exhibition?
Andrew Bolton: We were very lucky in terms of the team being still intact, so we were able to approach people who were around during that time. There's no 'bumsters' in the McQueen archive but it is such an important silhouette he instigated. Through the McQueen network, we were able to find an original pair of bumsters from a woman who was McQueen's flatmate for a while. Not only was it an original pair but it had the piss stains from the "Highland Rape" collection. Daphne Guinness gave us access to the MA graduation collection that she bought from Isabella Blow's estate.
To me they are the rarest pieces in the collection – I never thought we'd get anything from there. One of which is the 3-point origami frock coat which he continued to develop over his career. He was such a confident and assured designer and he established these silhouettes and motifs really early in his career and just evolved them. What I was blown away by was the fact that his tailoring was extraordinary – how he married the rigors of tailoring with the playfulness of dressmaking.
DD: You worked very closely with McQueen's loyal band of contributors for the exhibition – from Sam Gainsbury on sets and of course Trino Verkade and Sarah Burton for the McQueen archive. What insights did you gain from them?
Andrew Bolton: Talking to Sarah was really fascinating - like learning how he had to come up with a concept of the collection before focusing on the actual fashions itself. He took inspiration from everywhere. It was a real eye-opener to find out how deeply autobiographical his work was.
DD: What sense did you get of the man in the course of curating the exhibition?
Andrew Bolton: The overriding feeling was that he was so deeply romantic. The more I read about him and heard his voice in interviews, I got the sense he was incredibly romantic and very brave to talk about his feelings so openly and put his emotions on public display. I really respected that.
'Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty'; The Costume Institute, 1000 Fifth Avenue at 82nd Street, New York, New York 10028-0198, May 4 - July 31, 2011

Diversity Matters—Kaiser Permanente's 'One Size Fits All' Approach Resonates with a Wide Range of Audiences
// By Lisa D. Ellis //
One size fits all. That's the concept Kaiser Permanente is embracing these days when it comes to shaping marketing messages that will resonate with its diverse target audience. While the idea is obviously appealing—after all, one universal marketing campaign is always easier than many nuanced ones—finding just the one "right" message that will speak to everyone is a very tall order. It's even more ambitious when you realize that collectively, Kaiser Permanente's 10.1 million members speak more than 80 languages and represent more than 140 races and cultures, many with their own unique set of unique beliefs, behaviors, and needs.
Discovering one hard-hitting approach that will reach multiple diverse groups has the potential to be so difficult to nail down. Yet Kaiser Permanente's marketing department seems to have mastered the art, creating a new series of ads each year through its extensive Thrive campaign, which is an award-winning campaign now in its 12th year that includes TV, radio, online, print, and outdoor platforms. Thrive shares its messages in both English and also Spanish in its select markets.
While the focus of the Thrive campaign ads change each year, the underlying theme, taking care of the health of everyone, has such deep emotional appeal that they seem to effectively overcome economic, social, and cultural barriers and get to the heart of the things everyone cares about, regardless of their background and circumstances.
Building On a Unique History
Christine Paige, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Digital Services for Kaiser Permanente.
To fully understand Kaiser Permanente's marketing strategy and the strength of the Thrive campaign branding, you need to look to its long history of serving a broad audience, both as an employer and also a health care provider, says Christine Paige, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Digital Services for Kaiser Permanente.

Alex Deane and Jason Groves: It's time to eliminate the penny coin
It's time to eliminate the one penny piece and two penny piece from circulation. In fact, it's well past time.
Good old British inertia and vague nostalgia has meant that nothing's been done about the obvious fact that we have coins of little and diminishing value in circulation which ought logically to be withdrawn. While you may experience understandable irritation from the collections of coppers we all accumulate, think for a moment about the wider costs to the taxpayer from continuing with these little beggars.
There's the cost to the state of purchasing the materials which go into the coins, which is not insignificant; famously, in the USA the materials used to make a penny cost more than a penny, and the same problem has led to Canada eliminating the penny this month.
There's not only the cost of purchasing the materials and then preparing and minting the coins; there's also the costs of transporting and introducing them into circulation, and withdrawing them when they're worn.
Just as they clutter up tills, the coppers also weigh down security vans and the banking system; they add disproportionately to the burden of every stage of the circulation process. Some of this is naturally offset by the decision taken by many machine vendors, such as Transport for London, to disallow the use of coppers in their machines. But then, what does that tell you about their (lack of) usefulness?
Before the typically British kneejerk rejection of a new idea forms in your mind, think for a moment: what do you actually use coppers for? Whilst plenty of creative answers can be suggested, "buying things" is unlikely to be one of them.

What Kind of Quarterback will Teddy Bridgewater be in the NFL?
Minnesota Vikings fans have a new quarterback to get excited about following the 2014 NFL Draft a couple months ago. Teddy Bridgewater was picked up by the Vikings with the last pick of the first round. The question that continues to surround Bridgewater as Vikings Training Camp progresses is just what kind of a quarterback he will be.
Yesterday on Overtime, Jeff Thurn talked with Mark Ennis of ESPN 680 of Louisville. Ennis has followed Bridgewater since his arrival at Louisville through today. When asked about Bridgewater, Ennis believes that he will be a great quarterback for the Vikings.
That would be welcomed news to Vikings fans, who have recently suffered through the failed attempts to get Christian Ponder and Tarvaris Jackson to be starting quarterbacks. Ennis says that he is slightly worried about one part of Bridgewater's game.
All signs so far out of training camp have been positive in regards to Bridgewater. From everything that has been said, it won't be long until Vikings fans start to make the push for Bridgewater to be the starter.
And if Mark Ennis is correct, it will finally feel like a relief to have a steady quarterback at the helm for the Vikings franchise.

De plus en plus d'Acadiens se joignent à sa charrette. Pélagie se lance dans une longue odyssée de dix ans, faite d'amours et de dangers.

(WHBC) – Hunters who want to get a jump on planning for the next hunting season are in luck.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has released the 2019-2020 hunting season dates and bag limits.
Details are in the following news release.
The Ohio Wildlife Council approved Ohio's 2019-2020 hunting season dates and bag limits, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. In addition, the council approved to increase the bag limit for walleye in Lake Erie and the Maumee River in March 2020.
Overview of white-tailed deer hunting seasons for 2019-2020:
Deer archery: Sept. 28, 2019-Feb. 2, 2020
Youth deer gun: Nov. 23-24, 2019
Deer gun: Dec. 2-8, 2019; Dec. 21-22, 2019
Deer muzzleloader: Jan. 4-7, 2020
Deer bag limits remain the same for all counties. The statewide bag limit remains at six deer, only one of which may be antlered, and a hunter cannot exceed a county bag limit.
Additional changes approved by the Ohio Wildlife Council.
Hunters can transport a white-tailed deer or wild turkey to a residence or temporary lodging without a tag being attached to the animal, if the permit is properly filled out and the hunter remains with the animal.
The name of the antlerless deer permit was changed to deer management permit.
Hunters who harvest a deer within a disease surveillance area (DSA) are required to deliver the head to an inspection station only during the seven-day gun season, rather than all firearm seasons.
Brant and pintail daily bag limits were reduced to one.
The annual shooting range permit fee is reduced when purchased at the same time as an annual resident hunting license.
Youth hunting seasons are open to hunters age 17 or younger. This provides for more uniform and consistent regulations for all youth hunting seasons.
The walleye bag limit will increase from four fish to six fish daily from March 1 to April 30 in Lake Erie, excluding the Sandusky River, when Ohio's total allowable catch exceeds 3 million fish. In the Sandusky River, the four fish daily bag limit remains in place.
Nonresident anglers under the age of 16 are exempted from obtaining a nonresident Lake Erie fishing permit.

I wouldn't say it's horrible. I would say it's not for adults, though.
...which is why I love it.
I hate it so much. It was cringe-worthy bad for me. Some parts I could laugh at and enjoy but as a whole I've never liked it. Even as a 16 year old sitting in the middle of a performing arts group while the show choir learned the dance moves.
But don't you remember that "take off the glasses and remove the ponytail" moment at the end!? I mean she was bound to get cooler cause they took away her bowler hat!
She's also the most beautiful person in the whole cast fo sho
Absolutely. She seems to have grown up into a really cool, socially conscious artist. Her instagram is really great.
ETA - I clicked over to her instagram just now and saw that her third picture is her ass in underwear. I swear that's not why I suggested you click over. Now I feel like a creepy old man making the suggestion. Oof.
Wait, so for you this is worse even than baked beans on Ann-Margret?
I just gagged

It's a horrible movie with a stupid ass premise and uses these two extremely beautiful, talented kids to be like "Hey be accepting!"
There's literally NO REAL CONFLICT HERE
You know what just hit about this, the less attractive less talented people were used as comedy. Just think to the auditions. We had shy nervous people, awkward outcasts, arty theater kids, etc. These are the people clearly trying to leave their lane and they are the punchline for a whole scene. They're the only kids we see fail at doing anything and the only ones outside of Martha that fall outside the cookie cutter Disney safe and pretty image. However, I'm glad to hear they make her a cheerleader later on. As long as it's not suppose to be a joke that is.

No, she's a badass dancer, right up front and centre and kicking ass.
nothing is worse than the baked bean scene
Also it did not go unnoticed the diversity of the school! It was really awesome to watch 3 of the main characters be POC and then Zeke be a black man as well!
Do you think that the fact that you were the age of the characters portrayed in the movie when it came out has affected the way you feel about it?

My notes...
*Vanessa Anne?
Great name
No argument there ... I just was not familiar with her middle name
*A score board control system conected to the internet??
I have to C&O myself... If the scoreboard system is connected to the schools Local LAN or WAN that could made hacking it from inside the school possible
Why is Zac Efron in this movie? It's a musical about a guy who sings really well, but none of the singing is him. I would get it if Zac Efron had been a thing yet, but he totally wasn't. Why wouldn't they cast someone who could sing, act, and have pretty shag hair? Was it just his sweet basketball skills?
Also Japanese American character played by Japanese American actor.
No I really don't. I was one of the few that DIDN'T like it and I'm someone who was crazy into the Jonas Brothers, Glee (for the first couple of seasons at least), and more recently One Direction. Proudly so too. I just never really cared for the songs and I think those are really the only redeeming factor to the whole thing.
Maybe I should force Camp Rock onto y'all lololol
Yeah I didn't get it either when I found out it wasn't his singing voice.
He didn't have sweet basketball skills either. IMDB says:
Zac Efron had to undergo three hours of basketball practice every day because his character was the captain of the basketball team.
Zac Efron didn't sing in this movie but he did sing in the second and third: pretty sure he got the lead because he was an up-and-comer and Disney saw something in him, but the music had already been written in the first movie for a tenor, and he's a baritone.
Here he is in a flashback sequence in Firefly!

ETA - just realised with this rate of posting, that I'm 100% certain of hitting the 1000 post mark in this thread!
This just blew my mind.
It must be because he's just Ted Neeley Handsome I suppose.
This also blew my mind. Also just reminds me how much I disliked Simon!
I was going to say the same thing. Disney is really good at spotting, not necessarily "talent," but that undefinable thing that will resonate with whatever demo their trying to reach.
That surprises me that, at the time, anyone your age would have liked it at all. I would say it was definitely made for middle schoolers and younger.
I can appreciate it's innocence. It's pretty benign, the songs (for me) are catchy, and the leads are watchably charming. I just can't muster up the cynicism to dislike it.
Nawh I can vouch for this... I was a sophomore in HS too when it came out, and I remember people talking about it and good amount of my friends liking it. I just avoided watching at the time.
My wife told her class last week that she was going to be watching HSM that weekend and they all, every SINGLE one, said 'oh my God, that's the best movie ever'. And my wife teaches in an alternative school full of gang members and drug dealers. They're all 16-18 years old and their memory of this movie was vivid and beloved. They talked about fond memories of HSM sleepover parties and learning the dances when they were kids. And my kids fuckin' LOVED all three movies (they're 7 and 5). I'd agree with Cameron in saying that it's more of a middle school target demo.
Hearing everybody's age when this came out is starting to make me feel old...
I was 28, if that helps.
That surprises me that anyone your age would have liked it at the time at all. I would say it was definitely made for middle schoolers and younger.
Maybe it is the age thing for me? I definitely feel like 8-12 was the sweet spot they were going for but it definitely rang true to all the performing girls at my school it seemed.
This is mind blowing to me! Saved by the Bell came out when I was still really young, but I feel like it would be like if you were in High School when it first came out and enjoying it unironically.
My 4 year old loved it. My baby threw up on me.


A Swedish court on Thursday found former English Premier League player Dickson Etuhu not guilty of attempting to fix the result of a match.
The 36-year-old Etuhu was charged with trying to bribe his former AIK team mate, goalkeeper Kenny Stamatopoulos, to fix the result of the game.
Midfielder Etuhu played at the 2010 FIFA World Cup finals for Nigeria's Super Eagles.
He also had a lengthy career in England for Manchester City, Preston North End, Norwich, Sunderland, Fulham and Blackburn Rovers before moving to play in Sweden.
The Stockholm district court, which heard testimony from Etuhu and Stamatopoulos last week, said in its judgement that there was not enough evidence to support a conviction.


Home >>Other Treatments >>Why You Should Opt Hair Restoration in India?
Hair restoration in India is a hair replacement treatment for men and women. This procedure is known to permanently restore the hair by transplanting new follicles into the thinning hairs. It usually takes a whole day and is performed under sedation or local anesthesia.
Individuals with realistic expectations who understand that hair loss may continue even after regularly taking medication to stop the progression of it.
Hi, My name is Mark Sadowski and I am from Russia. I came to India to get my hair restoration through Cosmetic and Obesity Surgery Hospital India. In my late 30's I noticed I was losing my hair. I went to my doctor who recommended me to consider the hair restoration surgery. I thought about the advice for almost three years, but then went online to do my research. I came across your healthcare group offering the treatment at quite reasonable price. I confirmed to get my treatment in India and they assisted me with visa, lodging and food during my journey. I met the surgeon and was quite impressed with the way he explained me about the procedure. My treatment went well. I am extremely happy that I got this procedure done in India. I am thankful to doctors, nurses and the group for their assistance and care.
To undertake this procedure, the scalp is first cleaned and the surgeon, then injects an anesthesia to numb the area where a 3 to 4 inch of the scalp will be removed. Once the strip of hair is removed with a scapel, it is set aside and the scalp is sewed.
After the surgery, the scalp may be tender. One has to be under medications for a few days. A surgical dressing may be incorporated over the scalp for a day or two. Within two to three weeks after the surgery, the transplanted hair will fall out and you will start to notice new growth.
Why Opting Hair Restoration is necessary?
The key to the success of a hair restoration procedure is dependant what the pattern of hair loss in the patients are bound to be. Once transplanted the hair will not fall, though the natural hair may continue its progression. A good candidate for hair restoration would be someone who is healthy without any form of complications. They have no family history associated with it and have taken all forms of medications to reduce hair loss. In the modern days stress is also an important factor which contributes to loss of hair.
Why to choose an Indian Hospital for your Hair Restoration?
When you look out for Affordable Hair Restoration in India the cost is an important point of consideration. It is determined on a pet graft and varies according to the individual hair replacement needs. It would depend on the amount of hair you have lost till now, the amount of donor hair, which is available and the desired results which you are expecting. Indian hospitals provide you with the best of health care and Free Consultation Hair Restoration in India is provided by most of the top notch hospitals in the country.
The cost of hair restoration will largely depend on the amount of hair to be transplanted. Low cost Hair Restoration in India is available and is rarely covered by insurance. The cost ranges in the bracket of $4000 to $15000.
Will my hair transplant results, look completely natural?
Hair transplantation, when done right, can be so natural that even your hair stylist will not know that you've had it done. But the skill and techniques of hair transplant surgeons do vary widely, as do their results. It's important to choose the right procedure and clinic to assure that you will get completely natural results. To learn more about the leading hair transplantation physicians who perform this procedure, send us your query by filling up our free consultation form.
Today, hair restoration clinics typically provide free, no obligation consultations, with surgical sessions priced either per graft or by the session. The cost of hair restoration will largely depend on the amount of hair to be transplanted. The cost ranges in the bracket of $4000 to $15000.
The amount of grafts you will need ultimately depends on your degree of hair loss, now and in the future, and on how full you desire your hair to be. Contact us by sending your query for estimating the amount of grafts/hairs you may need.
Immediately following surgery a patient's recipient area is typically pink with scabs forming around the micro incisions. These hundreds of tiny incisions will heal rapidly within a week to ten days. During the first few days after the surgery a person's hair transplants will be noticeable if there is no previous hair to mask these temporary scabs. However, most patients feel comfortable being in public without wearing a hat within 5 to 7 days following surgery. Once the transplanted hair grows out the results should look entirely natural, even under close examination.
Normally it takes between three to five months following surgery before the transplanted hair follicles begin to grow new hair. The transplanted hair grows in very thin initially and gradually grows thicker and fuller over time. After one year a patient's transplanted hair will be fully mature and will continue to grow for a lifetime.
Since the hair follicles that are transplanted to the balding areas are genetically resistant to going bald, they will continue to grow for a lifetime – just as if they had been left in the bald resistant donor area. Send us your query to know why some hair follicles are genetically resistant to going bald, while others are not by filling up the form.


Please join the RASBJ for a special talk and walk, led by Lars Ulrik Thom of Beijing Postcards and focused on the fabled Dashilar neighborhood just south of Tiananmen Square. We'll meet in Beijing Postcards' newly renovated Public History space and gallery for Lars' presentation on "Beijing Arrivals", a project exploring residents' early memories of the Chinese capital. Then we'll venture into the alleyways of this former "red-light district", stopping at historic sites and the home of Hu Chengming, the last inkbrush-maker of Beijing. Attendees will receive a free calendar and welcome drink.
WHAT: "Portrait of Dashilar, led by Lars Ulrik Thom"
NOTE: Please dress appropriately for winter weather!
MORE ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Beijing Postcards was co-founded by Lars Ulrik Thom and Simon Rom Gjeroe, who first indulged their passion for Chinese history by collecting visual interpretations of China such as photographs, prints and maps. Many of these artefacts were discovered outside China because they were originally taken, drawn or published by foreigners. Lars and Simon have also written books on Beijing's history, culture and architecture, and Lars conducts talks, walks and research on the varied layers of history in China's ancient capital.

Are we due a game analysis?
Your answer is that raiding and previous server results have anything to do with this server being boring as hell?
Respectfully, If I had know GoT was just going to sim until endgame I would have given up logging in a long time ago.
My argument is if GOT has done some thing extra, You probably would not be here to chat.
We actually kept the server alive.
What are you going to cat down my forum account?
Post was edited 1 time, last by Armour ( Dec 2nd 2018 ).
crunchie, bring out your record book and put an another overwhelming victory for GoT in advance. with a footnote "they are still not tested to their limit".
tbh, we don;t have enough juice left to go to com/tourney servers due to real life commitments and local servers are two low in quality to provide us enough competition. I think some thing like currrent t6 would have been a best suited server for us to be.
Sad its hard to find new blood for travian these days to keep team alive and replace old ones.
Aye you would've been well suited for the anglosphere server.
yup the new ts6 server is a breath of fresh air compared to the state of s3. I am not convinced about the smaller map size and lack of croppers, but the activity levels are very good. It would have been a proper challenge for GoT imo.


Financial Services Expo is a well-established industry event, known for innovation and quality. Its London show, held at the famous Old Billingsgate, featured 80 exhibitors and over 1,200 visitors.
With a 360-degree, 4m x 3m island space booked, it was over to our team to help specialist lender OneSavings Bank stand out from the exhibitor crowd.
We achieved this by using a branded and double-sided 4m lightbox as the stand's focal point, with an integrated 55" screen on one side to add even more interest.
Bag stands, plus a branded counter and a custom table with stools on both sides of the stand, meant visitors were readily encouraged to come and take a closer look!


Cybersecurity is not a new topic, but the number of incidents is increasing year over year. According to the Identity Theft Resource Center, the number of U.S. data breaches hit a record high in 2017 with a total of 1,579 breaches, demonstrating a 44.7% increase over 2016. By the beginning of December 2018, the number of breaches had reached 1,138 with an estimated 561,782,485 records exposed. Clearly, the need to evolve existing cybersecurity strategies is more crucial than ever. Examining the shortcomings that resulted in high-profile cyber incidents can teach us several cybersecurity lessons.
Brian Krebs broke a story that Panera Bread leaked millions of customer records. The journalist received the tip from Dylan Houlihan, a security researcher who had discovered that Panera's website was releasing plaintext customer data, including names, emails and digits of payment cards. Houlihan attempted to report the vulnerability directly to Panera's information security team in August 2017; his report was dismissed by the company as a scam. The story broke eight months after Panera received the initial tip, which led to Panera taking their site offline to patch the issue. It's estimated that 37 million customer records were compromised.
Most recognize the importance of having a cybersecurity strategy. Panera has an entire department designated to it. This incident highlights that even with information security controls in place, you are still at risk if they fail to work properly. Regularly reviewing those controls, including testing your software development lifecycle, can improve your team's security awareness and reduce the risk that your web applications are live with potentially critical vulnerabilities. Third parties take testing a step further as they can uncover shortcomings not obvious to your development or security team. They can also create specific remediation plans to address any gaps. At a minimum, plan to conduct tests on internal and external facing applications to account for hacker sophistication and technology development.
Delta Airlines outsources components of customer service to 7.ai, an online chat services platform. 7.ai alerted Delta that they had experienced a data breach, forcing Delta to notify thousands of customers that their information had been exposed. They revealed that customer payment information may have been accessed but assured customers that personal information such as passport, government ID or SkyMiles information was not impacted. Retailers Best Buy and Sears Holding Corporation later announced that their customers may also have been affected by this breach.
Your cybersecurity strategy is only as strong as the third-party vendors on which you rely. The breach occurred on 7.ai's end, but it's the responsibility of companies using their services to ensure that 7.ai's security controls meet their standards. Do your vendors' security protocols meet or exceed your standards? Depending on your customers and types of data you collect, consider working with vendors who have had SOC 2, Type 2 performed by a licensed CPA firm, are ISO 27001 certified, are PCI DSS and HIPAA compliant, or are HITRUST Certified. You can delegate duties to outside vendors, but you can't delegate the responsibility of securing your customers' information.
In late 2015, hundreds of thousands of Facebook users were paid to take a personality test through an integrated app called "thisisyourdigitallife." Built by Aleksandr Kogan, a Cambridge University academic, the app was claimed to be for psychology research. The tests collected information from opted-in users such as the city they lived in and the content they interacted with. It went further and harvested this information from friends of the opted-in users with low privacy settings who had never opted in themselves. The data was shared with Cambridge Analytica, a firm that performed analysis services for political campaigns and organizations. They analyzed the data to identify voter personalities and influence behavior. This use breached Facebook's platform policies, and once alerted Facebook admitted to users that their information may have been compromised. Facebook was scrutinized, however, because it took limited steps to secure the data and ensure that the leaked information was destroyed. It is estimated that 87 million Facebook users were affected.
When customers release their sensitive information to you, they trust that you have the procedures in place to protect them. While Facebook had platform policies, they were ultimately violated by a partner application. This highlights the importance of having incident response and crisis communication plans in place. Your strategy should account for the reality that something might happen and include steps to maintain operations when it does. Important components include identifying key individuals, steps to respond and recover from the incident, and internal and external communications protocols. Employees need to know how this affects their work environment, and customers will want to know how this affects their information. Take into consideration any required breach notification procedures.
Consider covering yourself further with a cyber liability insurance policy. These policies address two critical risks: first, the liability risk to you if sensitive information is compromised and second, the substantial cost of notifying customers, credit monitoring, fines, legal fees and forensics. Your policy should work as an extension of an incident response plan and not replace it.

Civil disobedience and climate change

On Friday, the New York Times carried a story about Tim DeChristopher, the economics student in Utah who bid on federal oil and gas leases at an auction last December as a form of protest against global warming. DeChristopher was the winning bidder on 14 parcels, but admits that he never had either the intent or the ability to pay the $1.7 million he bid. He is now facing criminal charges of interfering with an auction and making false statements on a bidding form. DeChristopher's attorney has argued that he should be allowed to present a necessity defense to a jury. In a hearing last month, the judge was unpersuaded, but did give the defense time to submit a written brief in support of its claim.
As the Times reports, the necessity defense is a long shot in a case like this. A defendant claiming necessity must show that he or she acted to prevent an imminent harm greater than that caused by the protest, and that there was no other legal option.
DeChristopher is of course not the only environmental protester to appeal to the necessity defense. It's a time-honored, and typically unsuccessful, strategy for tree-sitters and other monkey-wrenchers seeking to halt logging or other environmentally destructive actions. As climate change protests have become more common and more aggressive (CoalSwarm lists 52 direct action protests against coal worldwide so far in 2009), necessity claims have become popular with climate protesters.

What the Times story failed to note is that there's been one notable successful use of the necessity defense. In October 2007, five Greenpeace activists climbed the chimney of the Kingsnorth power plant in England to protest a plan to build a new coal-fired unit at the plant. The plant was temporarily shut down, and the activists managed to paint the first word of a planned message to the prime minister. They, and an organizer who stayed on the ground, were arrested and charged with causing £ 30,000 worth of damage. At their trial, the judge allowed the defense to call a series of witnesses, including high-profile NASA scientist James Hansen, to testify to the harms threatened by global warming. After being directed to consider whether the activists had a lawful excuse, the jury found them not guilty.
Activists cheered the Kingsnorth decision while others called it "a green light to anarchy." So far, it has not been repeated, in England or elsewhere. This summer, activists who (peacefully) hijacked a train carrying coal to a power station in Yorkshire were convicted after the judge refused to allow introduction of a necessity defense. The sentences imposed were light.
Back to DeChristopher, it seems unlikely that he can make out a necessity defense. The lease auction he interfered with is only the first step in a lengthy chain leading to actual drilling, and other legal means of opposing the auction were readily available. A coalition of environmental groups successfully challenged the auction in federal court, winning a preliminary injunction that temporarily halted implemenatation of 77 leases when a judge concluded that they had established a likelihood of success on their claims of inadequate environmental review. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar pulled the leases temporarily. Last week, BLM issued a report recommending that many of them be deferred pending further review.
What DeChristopher did was not necessary to stop the leases, but it did draw considerable media attention to them, and that in turn was part of what convinced the Interior Department to take a second look. While he can't make out a necessity defense, he also did not risk human life (as the Kingsnorth protesters did) or cause large-scale disruption. It would be pretty easy for Interior to avoid this kind of monkey-wrenching in the future, simply by imposing pre-qualification requirements for auction bidders (is anyone else surprised that any one off the street can apparently go into one of these auctions, bid millions, and be taken seriously?). And it turns out that the lease procedure was seriously flawed. Under the circumstances, some exercise of prosecutorial discretion seems called for. It's hard to imagine that justice would be served by convicting DeChristopher of serious felonies.

Red Desert says:
I too, was dumbstruck that anybody could wander in off the prairie and bid on BLM leases, especially on controversial leases that had gotten lots of press. (Could be a movie!) But then, Interior was busy with other things like snorting cocaine and having sex with industry reps.
Brings up another question: Can an environmental group go into an auction and seriously bid for parcels? Bidding with the clear intention of leaving the land fallow, or even just to jack up the price the oil companies pay (and the US receives) for the bid? I know there are requirements for leases to be developed. But I also know that lots of leases are held and not developed. I think judges have ruled against conservation groups trying to buy up grazing rights on federal land, even though they are willing to pay more.
Holly Doremus says:
Good question. You are right about grazing permits. The Clinton administration experimented with "conservation use" permits as part of its rangeland reform program, but the Tenth Circuit ruled that the statutes authorizing federal grazing permits require that the primary purpose of those permits be grazing. The case is Public Lands Council v. Babbitt, 167 F.3d 1287 (10th Cir. 1999). It went up to the Supreme Court but that issue was not appealed. Still, permit buy-outs can occur if the BLM is willing to go along (which it wasn't in the Bush administration). Permit holders can surrender their permits, and BLM can determine that the area is no longer suitable for grazing. A side payment from a conservation group can ease that transition for the permit holder.
I'm not an expert by any means on federal lands oil and gas leasing, but I think the same general dynamic operates. The leasing statutes assume that the lease holder will do some basic exploration and development. Leases can be canceled if those efforts are not diligently pursued, and initial leases expire if they are not producing oil or gas in paying quantities within a specified time period (subject to extensions, which seem to be pretty routine). But as with grazing permits, lease rights can be surrendered. If conservation groups could come up with enough cash, they might be able to buy out some leases and then persuade BLM not to re-lease the area. The rub, of course, again as with grazing permits, is that a new lease could be issued if the administration changed, or just changed its mind.

The Minority in parliament is heading to the Supreme Court to challenge the decision of the National Identification Authority (NIA) for not accepting the voter ID card for registration of the new Ghana Card.
According to them, they would stay out of the registration process until a determination whether or not the voter ID card is a proof of citizenship for person to be hooked unto the NIA platform.
Alhaji Inusah Fuseini, Ranking Member on Constitutional and Legal Affairs, made the statement after officials of the NIA had engaged parliament to clarify a number of issues relating to the roll out of the exercise.
The Minority in a statement had threatened to boycott the planned registration of parliamentarians by the NIA for the new Ghana Card due to its failure to engage members.
They also raised questions about the cost, scope and legality of the project as well as registration requirements.
Alhaji Fuseini said their main concern had to do with the refusal of NIA to use National identification card for proof of citizenship to be able to get unto the registration of the Ghana card.
He said the justification for the refusal to accept the Voter ID card as the basis for proof of citizenship according to NIA was founded on the decision of the Abu Ramadan case.
"We think this is unfair and wrong in terms of article 42 of the constitution. It is wrong in terms of the decision in the Abu Ramadan case. It is also wrong in terms LI 23(66)," he added.
Alhaji Fuseini also explained that in the Abu Ramadan case, the court decided that NHIS cards were not proof of citizenship and not the voter ID card and because they had decided that they would not use the voter ID card they transformed the situation of Abu Ramadan unto the use of the voter ID card.
Alhaji Fuseini also said the minority had come to the decision that they would challenge the decision of the NIA at the Court and the minority was of the view that there were over 15 million Ghanaians who have the voter ID card as proof of citizenship which the NIA was refusing to accept as the basis of registration.
He said until the issue was determined by the Supreme Court, the minority would not take part in the on-going registration.
Mr Cassel Ato Forson, the Ranking Member on Finance in his reaction stated that the NIA officials who engaged parliament failed to provide satisfactory answers to why the Authority was spending $1.2 billion on the new Ghana card.
He said government was also going to provide a tax waiver of $173 million to IMS the private company undertaking the project.
He alleged that the NIA in their briefing stated that government could not raise $168 million so they engaged the private company to borrow for the project, who would end-up controlling revenue flows of about $1.1 billion and a return of $510 million for its investment, saying it is rip-off.
Mr Forson therefore urged NIA officials to come back to parliament to provide further and better particulars to the House and called on the Auditor General to be interested in the matter and audit the process accordingly.

1. Fragmentation of natural vegetation is currently one of the largest threats to plant populations and their interactions with pollinators. Plant reproductive susceptibility to habitat fragmentation has been investigated in many species; however, the response of wild mass-flowering species is poorly known, with research limited to mainly boreal plant species. 2. Here we studied twelve remnant populations of the threatened mass-flowering shrub Conospermum undulatum in the southwest Australian biodiversity hotspot, each presenting different population size, level of isolation, and floral display. We assessed the impact of fragmentation on: 1) fruit and seed production; and 2) seed germination. To gain a deeper understanding of factors influencing the reproductive success of C. undulatum we performed pollinator exclusion and self-pollination treatments to experimentally assess the mating system of this threatened shrub. 3. We found C. undulatum to be strictly self-incompatible and totally reliant on pollinators visiting with an outcrossed pollen load to complete the reproductive cycle. Further, we found that fruit production significantly decreased with decreasing floral display. A decrease in population size and floral display led to a decrease in seed output, while increasing isolation also led to a reduced production of seeds. Overall, seed germination was positively related to population size, and a negative relationship was found between germination and isolation. 4. Our results demonstrate the important relationship between pollinators and floral morphology in plants of southwest Australia that have coevolved with native pollinators and developed characteristic flower morphologies over long timeframes. The self-incompatible C. undulatum cannot rely on its mass-flowering trait to attract pollinators from co-flowering species, neither can it compensate for the lack of visitors by promoting geitonogamy. Consequently, fragmentation has a significant effect on the reproductive output of C. undulatum, and size, isolation, and floral display of populations should be considered when planning conservation actions for the species.

The Washington Capitals and goaltender Philipp Grubauer have agreed to terms on a one-year contract worth $1.5 million as reported by Isabelle Khurshudyan on Thursday. Grubauer was eligible for arbitration but elected to forego that process as he and the team were already close to a deal. Additionally, as Khurshudyan mentioned, Grubauer did not want the Capitals to select a two-year term in arbitration as he preferred a one-year bridge contract, maintaining his restricted free agent status next offseason once his current contract expires.
Capitals have re-signed Philipp Grubauer to a one-year, $1.5 million deal.
Grubauer was originally drafted by the Capitals in the fourth round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft and made his debut in the AHL with the Hershey Bears during the 2012-13 season. Posting a 15-9-2 record with a 2.25 goals against average and .919 save percentage, Grubauer also got the opportunity to play in two NHL games that season. With a 0-1-0 record, a 3.57 goals against average and a .915 save percentage, it was clear that Graubauer wasn't quite ready to make the jump to the next level right away, though the save percentage was encouraging. Playing in 17 NHL games the following season, Grubauer went 6-5-5 with a 2.38 goals against average and a .925 save percentage. Over the last three seasons, he's played in 46 NHL games and has been the Capitals primary backup in each of the last two seasons.
Grubauer's 2016-17 season was masterful. As the Capitals' backup goaltender, playing behind Braden Holtby, the German-born netminder compiled a record of 13-6-2 and added a 2.05 goals against average and a .926 save percentage last season. Because of this, there was concern that the Vegas Golden Knights would select Grubauer in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft as the team's potential goalie of the future. When the Golden Knights ultimately selected defenseman Nate Schmidt, the Capitals fanbase let out a collective sigh of relief that they didn't lose Grubauer, though the moment was bittersweet as Schmidt was equally as important to the Capitals Stanley Cup aspirations as Grubauer, if not even more important due to the fact that he saw the ice every game whereas Grubauer's job is to spell Holtby when he needs a night off.
After the dust had settled, the Capitals still had to phenomenal goalies who could backstop the team to another successful season, but the team needed to lock up Grubauer with their limited cap space this offseason. After extending T.J. Oshie and Dmitry Orlov to big contract extensions already this offseason, the team was left with Evgeni Kuznetsov, Andre Burakovsky and Philipp Grubauer still awaiting deals. With the latter two locked up to deals, the Capitals' attention must now turn to Kuznetsov.

Yield of Vegetable Amaranth in Diverse Tanzanian Production Environments
Fekadu Fufa Dinssa, Peter Hanson, Dolores R. Ledesma, Ruth Minja, Omary Mbwambo, Mansuet Severine Tilya and Tsvetelina Stoilova
Amaranth (Amaranthus sp.) is an important leafy vegetable in Africa where most farmers grow unimproved landraces. Information about amaranth genetic diversity and its adaptation to different environments will help breeders develop improved commercial varieties that meet market requirements. The objectives of this study were to investigate the performances of amaranth entries for vegetable yield across locations and seasons, assess the relative contributions of genetic vs. environmental sources of variation to yield, and cluster locations into mega-environments (MEs) to suggest future test sites. Twenty-six diverse entries were evaluated for vegetable yields in replicated trials at five locations in wet-cool and hot-dry seasons in Tanzania. Season explained the highest proportion (52.1%) of the total sum of squares followed by entries (24.9%) and locations (23.0%). Mean yield across the hot-dry season trials (27.7 t·ha−1) was 47.3% greater than the mean yield across wet-cool season trials (18.8 t·ha−1). Differences among entries in vegetable yield were higher in the hot-dry season than in the wet-cool season, indicating that gain from selection is likely to be greater in the hot-dry season. Most entries performed well in either wet-cool or hot-dry season but a few entries were adapted to both seasons. Two MEs were identified, one characterized by lower altitudes, higher temperatures, and less fertile soils, and a second ME associated with higher altitudes, lower temperatures, and more fertile soils. Each ME may serve as an initial selection site for their respective target environment. Targeting a specific season may give a better chance of finding high-yielding varieties.

Согласно теории интеллекта психолога Рэймонда Кэттелла интеллект можно условно разделить на подви́жный интелле́кт — способность мыслить логически, анализировать и решать задачи, выходящие за пределы предыдущего опыта (см. также статью Гибкие навыки); и кристаллизова́вшийся интелле́кт — накопленный опыт и способность использовать усвоенные знания и навыки. Подвижный интеллект относится к исполнительным функциям.

Подвижный интеллект
Подвижный интеллект, согласно теории, проявляется во всех областях жизни, но больше всего относится к научно-техническим отраслям, математике, программированию. Он включает в себя способность к обучению, индуктивному и дедуктивному мышлению, абстрактному мышлению, распознаванию связей и закономерностей. Подвижный интеллект использует рабочую память, и часто его уровень у человека вообще тесно связывают с размером рабочей памяти. В связи с этим возникла теория о возможности развития подвижного интеллекта путём развития рабочей памяти, пользуясь техниками вроде n-назад. Подвижный интеллект человека возрастает примерно до 30-40 лет, после чего начинается его снижение. Подвижный интеллект преобладает, например, у больных аутизмом.

Кристаллизовавшийся интеллект
Кристаллизовавшийся интеллект отвечает за извлечение знаний и навыков из долговременной памяти и применение их в привычных условиях, где не требуется включения подвижного интеллекта. Кристаллизовавшийся интеллект определяется объёмом и глубиной накопленных знаний, словарным запасом, он включает в себя вербальные способности и часто измеряется именно по уровню вербальных способностей. Обычно уровень кристаллизовавшегося интеллекта человека в различных жизненных областях разный. Кристаллизовавшийся интеллект человека возрастает до наступления старости, после чего обычно начинается его снижение.

Кристаллизовавшийся интеллект не является «кристаллизованной» формой подвижного интеллекта — это функционально разные процессы, хотя уровень кристаллизовавшегося интеллекта зависит от уровня подвижного, потому что люди с высоким подвижным интеллектом, обучаясь быстрее, соответственно быстрее накапливают и кристаллизовавшийся интеллект, что подтверждают IQ-тесты.

Building workers in Victoria have a proud tradition of protecting those things that make this state great. All Victorians are able to enjoy the City Baths, the Melbourne Market and the magnificent Regent Theatre because building workers refused to demolish these treasures.
In Tecoma, passionate local protesters are committed to preventing what they see as inappropriate development.
In those circumstances it is not safe to put building workers in the middle. Both in terms of access and egress from the site and in terms of operating large machinery, the work that is required can not be done where there is a constant threat of intruders.
Further, we do not believe that it is reasonable to put building workers in the middle of such a heated debate.
We seek that the Victorian government take a proactive approach to resolving this dispute.
They should convene a meeting of the local council, the local MP, the developer, the VTHC and representatives of the protest group.

Revised strategy launched for management of tree disease affecting the larch
Lesley Griffiths, Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs, has today launched a revised strategy to help manage the spread of a disease affecting Wales' larch trees.
The revised strategy will see the introduction of an updated disease management plan aimed at the ongoing management of the disease and incorporating the recent spread to larch in areas of Mid and West Wales.
Phytophthora ramorum is a fungus like plant pathogen that affects a range of plant and tree species. It was first found in the UK in 2002 on the rhododendron. In 2009 it was detected on larch trees in South West England and in 2010 it had spread to larch trees in the Afan Valley in South Wales.
Since then the disease has continued to spread through airborne spores that travel in water droplets and favour wet, windy conditions to disperse over large areas.
To help manage this spread of the disease, in 2010 the Phytophthora Management Strategy was put in place by the Welsh Government in consultation with public and private stakeholders.
The strategy led to the introduction of 2 disease management zones - a Core Disease Zone (CDZ) which does not require land owners to fell/destroy trees within a time limit and a Disease Limitation Zone (DLZ) which does require landowners to fell/destroy trees within a time limit to limit the further spread of the disease into unaffected areas.
Following the progression of the disease in recent years which has seen the spread of the disease into parts of Mid and West Wales, the strategy has been updated Creating a new Core Disease Zone (CDZ2) which incorporates Mid-West Wales from Brechfa to Dolgellau. In the CDZ2 there will be targeted aerial surveys undertaken, which will concentrate mainly on areas adjacent to the DLZ boundary.
Aerial surveys are carried out and concentrated in the DLZ targeting possible pathways from larger infections in the CDZs. NRW use local knowledge, existing disease spread data and meteorological data and ground-based surveys to detect the spread of the disease to this area.
If sites are confirmed to be infected NRW regulatory staff, in consultation with the landowner, will issue a Statutory Plant Health Notice which will prescribe the required treatment operations to be carried out within 3 years.
The new zone has been introduced to prevent significant wider social, economic and environmental impacts to local communities in Mid Wales affected by the increased spread of the pathogen.
Lesley Griffiths, the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs, said:
"High quality woodland ecosystems can provide real benefits both on a local and national scale. We know that Wales' woodlands enhance our landscape and increase biodiversity and we are committed to ensuring ecosystem services have the ability to respond to climate change and support woodland based industries
"We recognise pests, pathogens and invasive non-native species have significant potential to impact on the health of trees and woodlands in Wales. The refreshed strategy will play a key role in minimising the social, environmental and economic impacts of P. ramorum in the CDZ2 area whilst maintaining our commitment to managing the spread of the disease."
