Aston Martin's Bulldog Wants Another Shot at 200 MPH

Many remember the uncompromising Aston Martin Lagonda sedan styled by William Towns, whose time never quite arrived. But the sedan project, rarely free from drama, ended up eclipsing a related effort by the British automaker to field an even more daring supercar.
The Aston Martin Bulldog concept of 1979 featured a wedge-like profile and gullwing doors before the DeLorean entered production. And it had a powerplant that seems surprisingly modern on paper and a little frightening even today: a 5.3-liter V8 helped by twin Garrett turbochargers paired with a five-speed manual transmission, promising—and perhaps even delivering—a claimed 700 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque.
One number it couldn't achieve was the 200-mph mark. Aston Martin managed to take it to 192 mph during tests at the MIRA test track in the UK at the time, before funding for the project ran out and the car was sold to a customer from the Middle East, disappearing out of sight for years. The automaker promised even more at the time, well north of the 200 mph barrier, and a run of 25 cars. But they never materialized.
The Bulldog may not be as well known today as the Ferrari F40 in the pantheon of poster cars of the 1970s and 1980s, but it was certainly in that coveted group of unattainable supercars.
The car has remained in collector hands, making a few rare appearances as the decades flew by, until it was purchased by collector Phillip Sarofim who sought to restore the car to its original glory.
The Bulldog has just wrapped up a complete restoration that has returned it to its original color and specification, picking up a restoration of the year award from the Royal Automobile Club just a few days ago. The shop that performed the restoration, Classic Motor Cars of Bridgnorth, Shropshire, also received specialist of the year honors at the Octane Historic Motoring Awards.

The Bulldog was also driven at speed for the first time in years following its restoration, achieving 162 mph just a few days ago at the Royal Naval Air Station at Yeovilton in Somerset, under some less than ideal weather conditions.
"The last few days have been something of a whirlwind, to win two prestigious awards within a week is fantastic and is a great tribute to the team at CMC who have worked so hard on the car for the last 18 months," said Nigel Woodward, managing director of Classic Motor Cars. "But to cap that by accelerating through 162 on our first time out with the car is just the icing on the cake."
The next step, however, will be attempting to crack the 200-mph barrier, as Aston Martin promised over four decades ago.
"The car will be tested again either this year or at the beginning of next at the Royal Naval Air Station before we go for the 200-mph record that it never did in 1980. The location of that attempt is still being discussed," said Richard Gauntlett, son of former Aston Martin Chairman Victor Gauntlett, who now represents the owner of the car.
The car's running gear was based on the "Oscar India" Aston Martin V8 Vantage, but mounted in a body that stood only 43 inches in height. Aerodynamics are certainly one element that the Bulldog has in it favor as it attempts to break the 200-mph barrier, but a few other tweaks—like new rubber—might help as well.
"There is still much to do but Saturday's session not only validated the car but also provided a lot of very useful data," Woodward added. "The fact that without trying, and in the teeth of a 50 mph crosswind we sailed through the 160 mph mark in only 3/4 of a mile, at reduced boost and on partial throttle says much. It was only a lack of bravery on my part and the fact that we were still evaluating the car that prevented us going faster."

Tumor metastasis is the leading cause of death in cancer patients. Identifying metastatic biomarkers in tumor cells would help cancer diagnoses and the development of therapeutic targets. Yes-associated protein (YAP) plays an important role in organ development and has gained much attention in tumorigenesis. However, the role of YAP and the underlying mechanism in tumor metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC) is still unclear. In this study, we generated metastatic 116-LM cells from the HCT116 CRC cell line. We found that the capacity for tumor aggressiveness was elevated in 116-LM cells and identified that YAP and its mRNA level were upregulated in 116-LM cells. Moreover, expression of YAP was found to correlate with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) marker expressions, whereas suppression of YAP decreased EMT marker expressions and impeded tumor migration and invasion. Additionally, upregulation of YAP was identified in colon cancer patients, and it was correlated with EMT gene expressions. Furthermore, we identified LBH589, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, that was capable of inhibiting tumor growth and aggressiveness in both HCT116 and 116-LM cells. LBH589 potentially inhibited YAP and its mRNA expression, accompanied by diminished expressions of YAP downstream genes and EMT markers. Together, YAP plays a crucial role in aggressiveness and metastasis of CRC, and YAP may be an attractive therapeutic target.

Who says the future generation is selfish?
Kaavya Raveendran
Have you ever been part of a race where running feels like a bigger achievement than winning? Blogger Kaavya Raveendran has. She loved it, although nobody could point out the country 'Benelux' on the map.
The entire last week I spent in London, representing Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg (BeNeLux) in a competition about promoting ideas that help corporate businesses make a larger societal impact through sustainability. I was part of a culturally diverse team holding the banner of Benelux. It was pretty funny every time someone asked me where Benelux was on the map. It was also strange to tell people repeatedly that I was not from Team India.
It was by far the most internationally enriching experience I have had. Finally, travelling so many miles away from home paid off
Moving past these two identity crises, I would say that it was by far the most internationally enriching experience I have had. Finally, travelling so many miles away from home paid off. There were teams from 27 countries, winners of 27 national levels of this competition, like us. Meeting and mingling involved exchanging numbers and LinkedIn profiles -- in other words: networking -- was great. Prodigious minds and ideas from all over the world were put together in the same room and the vibe that went around was rewarding. Meeting influential and top professionals of the field raised the bar to new heights.
Each team a winner in itself
Now, let me come to the point. Have you ever been part of a race where running feels like a bigger achievement than winning? Well, this competition was such a race. Each team had brilliant ideas to pitch, with immense confidence. And the way each pitch was delivered, showed that each team was a winner in itself; the competition was just for the subjective liking of the jury. Teams who didn't qualify or win didn't think any less of themselves and they applauded for the ones who did with utmost diligence.
That's the true essence of internationalism. It is not about competing with your differences, but about celebrating your similarities
That's when I realized the true essence of internationalism. It is not about competing with your differences, but about celebrating your similarities. There were no teams, just 81 young minds supporting and encouraging budding ideas. And that was a magically positive atmosphere, the real international experience! Each member worked hard, but it was to only make it count, to make a societal impact and to make a difference in this world. This constructively aligned mission gave everyone a reason to believe and look at the bigger picture.
The future is safe
Everyone cared first about humanity and the environment before they did about themselves winning this competition. Wonderful, isn't it, when you see that the millennials thinking this way naturally, without any push or influence to do so -- who says the future generation is selfish? They care, and most importantly: they really act. They do what matters and they stand for what they believe in. So, in short, the future is in safe and responsible hands.
Diversity is a boon
Recently, when I was hosting the Fashion Show of the One World Week 2019 at WUR, I mentioned that diversity is a boon: let's celebrate it together. I say that here again. Diversity is a powerful instrument that should be fostered. Young minds should be as open as they can be to the flow of new ideas, initiatives and experience, support what they believe in and hold hands to make a worldwide impact.

Home / Profiles / WWE Superstars / SmackDown Superstars / Lars Sullivan Facts You Need To Know
By PWPIX on April 15, 2019
Who is Lars Sullivan?
In October 2014, Sasha Banks hyped him on Twitter with this statement: "He's going to be BIG!!!"
Standing at 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighing 303 pounds, this guy is definitely big.
So who is he?
Here is what you need to know about this unique wrestler.
Real name: There's conflicting information on the real name of Lars Sullivan.
When Sullivan joined WWE in 2013, Wrestling Observer Newsletter editor Dave Meltzer reported his name as Dylan Miley. He also wrestled under that name in NXT from 2015 through 2017. However, when Miley changed his ring name to Lars Sullivan in May 2017, Meltzer reported his real name as Dylan Roode.
Meltzer wrote, "Dylan Miley, who they've been protecting on the house shows and television, is being given a new name of Lars Sullivan, which sounds like a cross between Lars Anderson and Kevin Sullivan. His real name is Dylan Roode so he had to change the last name. Miley does sound like Miley Cyrus and doesn't fit a powerhouse looking guy."
It's possible that Sullivan didn't want fans to confuse him with Bobby Roode, who was already a world-renowned wrestler by the time he joined NXT in July 2016.
Sullivan has an account on BodySpace, which confirms his first name as Dylan.
Age: According to Lars Sullivan's BodySpace account, he is now 30 years old. His birthday is July 6, according to this Instagram post by WWE. Therefore, he was born on July 6, 1987.
Ring names: After wrestling under the name Dylan Miley since his debut in 2015, he began appearing as Lars Sullivan on May 6, 2017.
Height: WWE bills Lars Sullivan at 6 feet 3 inches tall. His height might be exaggerated as he lists himself as 6 feet 2 inches tall on BodySpace.
Weight: WWE bills Lars Sullivan's weight at 303 pounds. That number might be exaggerated as Wrestling Observer Newsletter editor Dave Meltzer and Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com both had him listed as 285 pounds when he joined the company in 2013.
Billed from: At NXT live events, Lars Sullivan gets billed from Denver, Colorado. According to his BodySpace account, he lived in Westminster, Colorado, which is a northwest suburb of Denver.
Trained by: Lars Sullivan is now being trained by various coaches at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. It is not known if he did wrestling training before joining WWE.
Wrestling debut: Under the ring name Dylan Miley, Lars Sullivan made his wrestling debut on March 29, 2015, at WrestleMania 31 Axxess in San Jose, California. He beat Marcus Louis.
Find Lars Sullivan online: You can find Lars Sullivan on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and BodySpace. However, his account on BodySpace hasn't been updated since 2009.
He Joined WWE In 2013
While Lars Sullivan has been on NXT television for less than two year, he has been under contract to WWE for over five years.
In October 2013, Mike Johnson of PWInsider reported that WWE had signed Dylan Mile, a 25-year-old male from Colorado who took part in a tryout a few weeks earlier at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
According to Johnson, he impressed WWE's coaching staff with his agility, which included a 37-inch vertical leap.
Wrestling Observer Newsletter editor Dave Meltzer corroborated the report but identified him as Dylan Miley. According to Meltzer, Miley was the only person signed from a tryout that included independent wrestling standouts Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards.
Miley, who apparently had no wrestling experience when he joined WWE, began training at the Performance Center by September 2014. Check out this video of him participating in an in-ring training drill with other wrestlers.
He Made His Wrestling Debut In 2015
Less than two years after joining WWE, Lars Sullivan wrestled his first match on March 29, 2015, at WrestleMania 31 Axxess.
Competing under the name Dylan Miley, he defeated Marcus Louis in just over four minutes. According to a fan in attendance at the event, he dominated Louis throughout the contest.
Miley was one of several NXT wrestlers to compete at Axxess, which took place over the course of four days at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, California. While many fans were unfamiliar with them, Miley immediately grabbed their attention.
On his in-ring debut, Dave Meltzer wrote in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, "When he came out, in a sea of assembly line wrestlers on the NXT roster that worked at Axxess that most fans didn't know, everyone stopped when he came out and paid attention even though he did little in the ring."
His Hands Are Huge
Standing at 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighing 303 pounds, Lars Sullivan is like a miniature Mack truck. Not only that, but this monster of a man has enormous hands.
To give you an idea of just how large his hands are, check out this photo Paul "Triple H" Levesque tweeted in 2014 comparing his hands to that of Sullivan's.
Sullivan has made it a part of his persona as he will often pose for photos with his hand extended.
When he joined Twitter in 2014, his avatar was a photo of his hand.
He's Gotten Support From Top WWE Stars
Many people in WWE are high on Lars Sullivan, including Paul "Triple H" Levesque, Kevin Owens, and Brock Lesnar.
During a visit to the WWE Performance Center in October 2014, Levesque was so impressed with the big man that he relayed specific instructions to the coaching staff to give him extra attention and have his progress meticulously tracked.
Sullivan also impressed Owens with his verbal skills.
"The Prizefighter" tweeted on October 2, 2014, "Can we get @DylanMWWE to like 1000 followers before the end of the day? If he tweets like he talks, you'll all thank me for it!"
Lesnar took a liking to Sullivan during the week of WrestleMania 31 in March 2015. So much so that "The Beast Incarnate" flew out to Orlando, Florida a few weeks later to train with him at the Performance Center.
WWE officials have high hopes for Sullivan, in large part due to his unique look.
"I was told he looks to be a long-term project, but one worth devoting time to just based on his look and verbal ability," Meltzer wrote shortly after his in-ring debut. "A lot of people have compared his look to Maurice Tillet, The French Angel from the '40s, who was the impetus for Shrek in the movies."
Sullivan himself sees the comparison as he liked this fan tweet saying he looks like The French Angel.
Why His Name Is Lars Sullivan
After wrestling as Dylan Miley for just over two years, the colossal wrestler adopted a new ring name: Lars Sullivan.
At a non-televised NXT show in St. Petersburg, Florida on May 6, 2017, the ring announcer introduced him under that name. He then beat Cezar Bononi in a singles match.
Paul "Triple H" Levesque, who oversees NXT, selected Miley's ring name. He gave him an Irish-sounding name since WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon has a liking for large wrestlers and is a huge proponent of anyone representing his Irish heritage. Levesque hopes that it subconsciously endears McMahon to him.
Following the name change, Sullivan changed his Twitter handle to @LarsSWWE and began looking forward to next April.
He tweeted, "336 more days until Wrestlemania. You ready?"

Lars Sullivan's Wrestling Debut


Big Government is the God and religion of the progressives, National Review Online Editor-at-large Jonah Goldberg told the Faith and Freedom Conference Friday morning.
The Left is about putting human beings in the place of God and creating a heaven on Earth and make the "hear and now like the hearafter" regardless of whether Bolsheviks or progressives are involved, according to Goldberg.
Barack Obama isn't any exception when it comes to using what Goldberg calls "liberal clichés".
This is especially true when the president discusses "social justice" because he is talking about the best way to have the state design society as if it were divine. Goldberg referred to the Obama campaign's "Life of Julia" website as a prime example.
"It is one of the creepiest things I have ever seen," Goldberg said. "First of all, the guy is president for life according to this thing. He's president until 2070 and poor Julia is this young woman who benefits enormously from having President Obama in office.
Goldberg mocked the section of the website where it says she decided to have a child under President Obama, chuckling that women never said that about Jimmy Carter.
He then went on to attack politicians from both parties for trying to define society in terms of its relationship to the federal government.
"It's always about a paid volunteer program or something," Goldberg said. "The reality is that unless you are Hannibal Lecter, we are all dedicated to causes larger than ourselves – our family, our jobs, our churches, our synagogues. These are all causes larger than ourselves.

There is a pressing need for intelligent leaders who are able to deal effectively with today's challenges and demands – and those of the future. But intelligence alone is not sufficient. It is simply a "blunt" tool that enables leaders to get things done. Too often leaders are intelligence giants but maturity dwarfs. This has far reaching, detrimental consequences.


Rising to this call for local self-determination, our region not so long ago established the Power of 32 initiative, a common vision based on the shared aspirations of the 32-plus counties across parts of four states with Pittsburgh occupying the center and denoting the practical geography for getting things done on issues which play out so often without respect to boundaries. Through 156 community conversations in every one of the 32 counties, the Power of 32 collected more than 15,000 comments from diverse people who offered their perspectives on our strengths and challenges, their hopes for our brightest future, and how best to ensure it. The message was clear: If the region is to thrive, all stakeholders must work together on common issues and not be stymied by political and parochial boundaries. The Power of 32's work continues through targeted projects.
In light of the increasingly vital need for regional leadership, it is instructive to see that the Power of 32 initiative's Vision Statements for a Thriving Region in 2025 provide a solid foundation for continued guidance. Do have a look. The six themes that emerged from those Power of 32 community conversations are expressions of what the people across our communities want to work toward. The collective vision is timeless.
Our region has much going for it. Like anywhere, we also have stumbling blocks. The prospect of realizing our vision, experience shows, depends on sober assessment of what holds back progress. Now is an important time to identify the stumbling blocks and double down on work-arounds.
Sustainable Pittsburgh invites you to weigh in. What are the high-level, systemic conditions that hold our region back? Also, what are the advantages that position the region to usher in its best, sustainable future, one in which the economy, environment, and social equity are one in the formula for getting things right?
Let's endeavor to go deep to identify the overarching speed bumps and points of acceleration. What is undeniable, that needs to be addressed in order to progress? What are our greatest advantages to be built upon? The answers may be elusive but need to be identified, debated, and elevated as regional priorities. With the two lists determined, the next step will be to consider what is ripe to be done to further mitigate the challenges and accentuate the strengths along systems-level leverage points for positive change.
Thanks in advance for sending along your insights to info@sustainablepittsburgh.org. Consider this format: A. What are the region's greatest systems-level assets*? What factors protect the given asset, and what factors put it in jeopardy? B. What are the greatest systems-level points of adversity*? What factors perpetuate and what factors mitigate?
All comments will remain confidential. Sustainable Pittsburgh will report back the consolidated work in a future issue of Sustainable Pittsburgh Insider and also share the body of work with regional planning initiatives underway.

Fraud must be proved by showing that the defendant's actions involved five separate elements: (1) a false statement of a material fact,(2) knowledge on the part of the defendant that the statement is untrue, (3) intent on the part of the defendant to deceive the alleged victim, (4) justifiable reliance by the alleged victim on the statement, and (5) injury to the alleged victim as a result.
These elements contain nuances that are not all easily proved. First, not all false statements are fraudulent. To be fraudulent, a false statement must relate to a material fact. It should also substantially affect a person's decision to enter into a contract or pursue a certain course of action. A false statement of fact that does not bear on the disputed transaction will not be considered fraudulent.
Second, the defendant must know that the statement is untrue. A statement of fact that is simply mistaken is not fraudulent. To be fraudulent, a false statement must be made with intent to deceive the victim. This is perhaps the easiest element to prove, once falsity and materiality are proved, because most material false statements are designed to mislead.
Third, the false statement must be made with the intent to deprive the victim of some legal right.
Fourth, the victim's reliance on the false statement must be reasonable. Reliance on a patently absurd false statement generally will not give rise to fraud; however, people who are especially gullible, superstitious, or ignorant or who are illiterate may recover damages for fraud if the defendant knew and took advantage of their condition.
Finally, the false statement must cause the victim some injury that leaves her or him in a worse position than she or he was in before the fraud.
A statement of belief is not a statement of fact and thus is not fraudulent. Puffing, or the expression of a glowing opinion by a seller, is likewise not fraudulent. For example, a car dealer may represent that a particular vehicle is "the finest in the lot." Although the statement may not be true, it is not a statement of fact, and a reasonable buyer would not be justified in relying on it.
The relationship between parties can make a difference in determining whether a statement is fraudulent. A misleading statement is more likely to be fraudulent when one party has superior knowledge in a transaction, and knows that the other is relying on that knowledge, than when the two parties possess equal knowledge. For example, if the seller of a car with a bad engine tells the buyer the car is in excellent running condition, a court is more likely to find fraud if the seller is an auto mechanic as opposed to a sales trainee. Misleading statements are most likely to be fraudulent where one party exploits a position of trust and confidence, or a fiduciary relationship. Fiduciary relationships include those between attorneys and clients, physicians and patients, stockbrokers and clients, and the officers and partners of a corporation and its stockholders.
A statement need not be affirmative to be fraudulent. When a person has a duty to speak, silence may be treated as a false statement. This can arise if a party who has knowledge of a fact fails to disclose it to another party who is justified in assuming its nonexistence. For example, if a real estate agent fails to disclose that a home is built on a toxic waste dump, the omission may be regarded as a fraudulent statement. Even if the agent does not know of the dump, the omission may be considered fraudulent. This is constructive fraud, and it is usually inferred when a party is a fiduciary and has a duty to know of, and disclose, particular facts.
Fraud is an independent criminal offense, but it also appears in different contexts as the means used to gain a legal advantage or accomplish a specific crime. For example, it is fraud for a person to make a false statement on a license application in order to engage in the regulated activity. A person who did so would not be convicted of fraud. Rather, fraud would simply describe the method used to break the law or regulation requiring the license.
Fraud resembles theft in that both involve some form of illegal taking, but the two should not be confused. Fraud requires an additional element of False Pretenses created to induce a victim to turn over property, services, or money. Theft, by contrast, requires only the unauthorized taking of another's property with the intent to permanently deprive the other of the property. Because fraud involves more planning than does theft, it is punished more severely.
Federal and state criminal statutes provide for the punishment of persons convicted of fraudulent activity. Interstate fraud and fraud on the federal government are singled out for federal prosecution. The most common federal fraud charges are for mail and wire fraud. Mail and wire fraud statutes criminalize the use of the mails or interstate wires to create or further a scheme to defraud (18 U.S.C.A. §§ 1341, 1342).
Tax fraud against the federal government consists of the willful attempt to evade or defeat the payment of taxes due and owing (I.R.C. §7201). Depending on the defendant's intent, tax fraud results in either civil penalties or criminal punishment. Civil penalties can reach an amount equal to 75 percent of the underpayment. Criminal punishment includes fines and imprisonment. The degree of intent necessary to maintain criminal charges for tax fraud is determined on a case-by-case basis by the Internal Revenue Service and federal prosecutors.
There are other federal fraud laws. For example, the fraudulent registration of Aliens is punishable as a misdemeanor under federal law (8 U.S.C.A. § 1306). The "victim" in such a fraud is the U.S. government. Fraud violations of banking laws are also subject to federal prosecution (18 U.S.C.A. §§ 104 et seq.).
The Federal Sentencing Guidelines recommend consideration of the intended victims of fraud in the sentencing of fraud defendants. The guidelines urge an upward departure from standard sentences if the intended victims are especially vulnerable. For example, if a defendant markets an ineffective cancer cure, that scheme, if found to be fraudulent, would warrant more punishment than a scheme that targets persons generally, and coincidentally happens to injure a vulnerable person. Federal courts may require persons convicted of fraud to give notice and an explanation of the conviction to the victims of the fraud (18 U.S.C.A. § 3555).
All states maintain a general criminal statute designed to punish fraud. In Arizona, the statute is called the fraudulent scheme and artifice statute. It reads, in pertinent part, that "[a]ny person who, pursuant to a scheme or artifice to defraud, knowingly obtains any benefit by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, promises or material omissions" is guilty of a felony (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 13-2310(A)).
States further criminalize fraud in a variety of settings, including trade and commerce, Securities, taxes, real estate, gambling, insurance, government benefits, and credit. In Hawaii, for example, fraud on a state tax return is a felony warranting a fine of up to $100,000 or three years of imprisonment, or both, and a fraudulent corporate tax return is punished with a fine of $500,000 (Haw. Rev. Stat. § 231-36). Other fraud felonies include fraud in the manufacture or distribution of a controlled substance (§ 329-42) and fraud in government elections (§ 19-4). Fraud in the application for and receipt of public assistance benefits is punished according to the illegal gain: fraud in obtaining over $20,000 in food coupons is a class B felony; fraud in obtaining over $300 in food coupons is a class C felony; and all other public assistance fraud is a misdemeanor (§ 346-34). Alteration of a measurement device is fraud and is punished as a misdemeanor (§ 486-136).
In civil court, the remedy for fraud can vary. In most states, a plaintiff may recover "the benefit of the bargain." This is a measure of the difference between the represented value and the actual value of the transaction. In some states, a plaintiff may recover as actual damages only the value of the property lost in the fraudulent transaction. All states allow a plaintiff to seek Punitive Damages in addition to actual damages. This right is exercised most commonly in cases where the fraud is extremely dangerous or costly. Where the fraud is contractual, a plaintiff may choose to cancel, or rescind, the contract. A court order of Rescission returns all property and restores the parties to their precontract status.
Fraud is also penalized by administrative agencies and professional organizations that seek to regulate certain activities. Under state statutes, a professional may lose a license to work if the license was obtained with a false statement.
One particularly well publicized area of fraud is Corporate Fraud. Corporate fraud cases are largely governed by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 USCA §§ 78a et seq.), along with other rules and regulations propagated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These laws were a response to the market turmoil during the 1930s and well-publicized corporate fraud cases.
The Securities Exchange Act and the SEC regulate anything having to do with the trading or selling of securities and stocks. They govern fraudulent behavior ranging from stock manipulation to insider trading. They also provide for civil and criminal penalties for corporate fraud.
Despite the act and the SEC, in the early part of the twenty-first century, corporate fraud began to seem endemic. Such well-known companies as energy trader Enron, Telecommunications company WorldCom, cable provider Adelphia, and other lesser-known firms went into Bankruptcy as a result of corporate fraud. In light of these events, Congress decided to tighten up corporate fraud requirements with the passages of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (U.S. PL 107-204).
Among other features, Sarbanes-Oxley required expanded and more frequent disclosure by public companies of their finances to prevent fraud. It created a Public Company Accounting Oversight Board to register and regulate accounting firms and accounting practices. It also enhanced the SEC's power to monitor and investigate compliance with securities laws, adding stiff penalties for fraudulent behavior by corporations, their officers, and their accountants.

Internet Fraud.
n. the intentional use of deceit, a trick or some dishonest means to deprive another of his/her/its money, property or a legal right. A party who has lost something due to fraud is entitled to file a lawsuit for damages against the party acting fraudulently, and the damages may include punitive damages as a punishment or public example due to the malicious nature of the fraud. Quite often there are several persons involved in a scheme to commit fraud and each and all may be liable for the total damages. Inherent in fraud is an unjust advantage over another which injures that person or entity. It includes failing to point out a known mistake in a contract or other writing (such as a deed), or not revealing a fact which he/she has a duty to communicate, such as a survey which shows there are only 10 acres of land being purchased and not 20 as originally understood. Constructive fraud can be proved by a showing of breach of legal duty (like using the trust funds held for another in an investment in one's own business) without direct proof of fraud or fraudulent intent. Extrinsic fraud occurs when deceit is employed to keep someone from exercising a right, such as a fair trial, by hiding evidence or misleading the opposing party in a lawsuit. (See: constructive fraud, extrinsic fraud, intrinsic fraud, fraud in the inducement, fraudulent conveyance) damages)
in criminal law, the achievement of a practical result by false pretence. Nondisclosure, where a duty to disclose exists, may be sufficient. There is no need to make pecuniary profit out of the pretence - a definite practical result is sufficient.
In Scotland, the delict of making a false representation of fact without belief in its truth, intending that the person to whom it is made should act in reliance thereon, causing a consequent loss. Essentially very similar to the English tort of DECEIT.

Having got ourselves up and running under Marco Silva as we took a 2-1 victory over Southampton last weekend, hopes were high that we could make it two from two as we travelled to Dean Court to face Bournemouth today.
Silva's side played out a goalless first half on the day, but we did see Richarlison depart the pitch in the 41st minute with a straight red card for an apparent headbutt, but reduced to ten men we started the second period far more brightly and took a 2-0 advantage with goals coming from Theo Walcott and Michael Keane. Sandwiched between our goals, Bournemouth were themselves reduced to ten men as Adam Smith saw red for pulling back Walcott as he raced through on goal.
Bournemouth fought back though with a Josh King penalty and with Nathan Ake adding a second four minutes later, that was where the scoring on the day ended so we travel back with only a point.

Barack Obama's failure to deliver a punishing assault against Assad's Syrian forces indicates that the president never played a day of baseball in his life.
Procrastinating to a fault, America's chief executive reminds me of the baseball rookie who kept the bat on his shoulders while the pitcher tossed three straight strikes.
Yes, Obama has struck out on Syria.
We have come to learn that this is typical of the man who won the White House after being the master of inaction during his Congressional years and never worked a day in his contrived life before that.
Apparently the president never learned the bromide, "Strike while the iron is hot."
Had he understood the logic behind those six words, he would have swiftly made good on his vow to punish Assad the day that Syrian forces crossed the red line and used chemical weapons on their own men, women and children.
By now Israel's leaders know full well that Uncle Sam's commander-in-chief's red lines are delivered with a large eraser attached so that any vow can easily be made to disappear like smoke rings in the wind.
When news originally broke of the chemical weapon calamity Syrian forces had inflicted on its masses Obama was dealt a fat pitch which he should have belted out of the ball park. Outraged by the Assad-inspired massacre, the public was behind an American military strike. But the president's bat never left his shoulders and the umpire called, Strike One.
Bewitched, bothered and befuddled, the president went into his hem-and-haw routine. Or, as Professor Abraham Ben-Zvi wrote in Israel Hayom, "Obama suffered a bout of paralysis at the moment of truth."
Like his Arab (Palestinian) friends, the president never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity. Yet there still was time to deliver the big hit. An oh-and-one count isn't the end of the world when you're at the plate but he blew it again and again.
When his support, unsurprisingly, began eroding like a dirt road in a hurricane, the president desperately needed a diversion; someone -- or some thing -- to distract the public from his egregious ineffectiveness.
Forgetting that he once asserted at an AIPAC convention that he "had Israel's back," Obama suddenly turned to AIPAC and asked Israel's most supportive organization in America to have his back. He brazenly urged AIPAC to join the congressional tussle and vigorously lobby senators and representatives to vote in favor of a strike at Syria.
But that was nothing more than: 1. A lame attempt at procrastinating; 2. An unfair attempt to draw Israel into a dispute that Prime Minister Netanyahu wanted to avoid. 3. Obama's way of telling his Arab friends that Israel is an interloper and, therefore should be punished.
The bat remained on Obama's shoulder and he took Strike Two and public support for the punitive strike slipped to just 35 percent.
Meanwhile, AIPAC -- dragged into the morass against its will and better judgement -- allowed that marshaling support for Obama was roughly equivalent to employing a toothpick to push a rock uphill.
Thus, the spineless president took the third strike and walked back to his dugout with the bat firmly ensconced on his shoulder. Worse, for Israel, is the fact that AIPAC's involvement made Israel look bad because Obama made it all so public.
Ben-Zvi: "It made it difficult for Jerusalem to continue with the same low-profile policy it has led with until now. Involving AIPAC could give Israel's enemies in Washington the chance they need to bring out the battering ram to wear at the foundations of U.S.-Israeli relations."
Not surprisingly, immediately after Obama struck out, the next guy up hit a home run.

Abstract: The construction of a Virtual Reality and Visualization Center in a public or private University results in a series of benefits; it allows the students to interact with modern technology, to learn with different tools. Specifically, this paper focuses on a Virtual Reality and Visualization Center built at the Bachelor in Computer Engineering at the Autonomous University of Tlaxcala, this center is called VirtUATx. VirtUATx allows building different virtual environment multi-screen considering the head movements through a professional head tracker, a full navigation system by means of recognition of body movement's using Kinect or manual using keyboard. Furthermore, VirtUATx incorporates 3D object manipulation, anaglyphic and active stereoscopy and 3D sound. This Center is used in different courses, such as Research Seminars, Computer Graphics, Research Methodology, and Interaction Human-Computer, but in the future this center will benefit other bachelors.


On September 18, Iron Banner returned to Destiny 2 for the first time since the launch of the Forsaken expansion. Since Iron Banner's release, Bungie has been monitoring the mode, and the developer isn't completely content with what its seen.
In a blog post, senior designer Jeremiah Pieschl wrote, "One of the goals we have for Iron Banner is that it's an opportunity for lower-Power players to catch up or reengage in their pursuit of Power. Based on [player] feedback and our analytics, we're not meeting that goal." In response, Bungie is rolling out two changes in Iron Banner, which the company hopes will level the playing field between high-Power and low-Power players.
The first change will reduce how much you'll have to do to complete a bounty in Iron Banner. The adjustments are listed out below.
The second change increases drop rate during Iron Banner's bounties, making it easier to acquire high-Power gear more quickly. Bungie will continue to monitor Iron Banner going forward, specifically to make sure that the multiplayer mode's new direction makes sense. Previously, Destiny 2's Iron Banner normalized Power level for all players. Since the launch of Forsaken, Bungie has transformed Iron Banner into, as the developer describes it, "an arms race" where the only way to hold your own is to equip your highest level gear.

What is really great about Petitenget Beach is that you do not have to deal with hawkers that you often find when you go to the many other beaches in and around Bali. Enjoy the waves or the sunset on Petitenget Beach and have an unforgettable day here.
Mesmerized much? Make sure you visit the best beaches in Denpasar and have an amazing time on the beaches. Enjoy the sun, fun activities like surfing, windsurfing, paragliding and more, and all that this provincial city has to offer on your next trip to Bali.

Meet I Belong Philly, Solas 2022 Honoree
March 2, 2022 By The Welcoming Center In Events, Solas Awards No Comments
At Solas 2022, The Welcoming Center is celebrating three Philadelphia immigrant organizations that are working tirelessly to address important issues faced by immigrants and refugees in the Philadelphia region. Through their dedication and hard work, each of these organizations have become anchors within immigrant communities. Our official hashtag at The Welcoming Center is #WelcomingWorks, and I Belong Philly is a perfect example of that.
I Belong Philly is a volunteer group dedicated to serving immigrant communities in the Greater Philadelphia area. They believe that raising the voices of immigrants and facilitating integration can make a better and more welcoming city. Their mission is to foster a space that creates opportunities, builds dialog and relationships, offers networking opportunities, and appreciates culture. Their ultimate goal is to help immigrants realize a better life in the U.S., which they have done since the group's founding in 2019.
Members of I Belong Philly
The founding members of I Belong met as participants of the Immigrant Leadership Insitute at The Welcoming Center. Through the program, they utilized their developed skills and assessed the real needs of the community, which brought about the formation of the group. I Belong does not have one "leader" at its helm, but rather operates under the collective leadership of all of its members.
When asked what the term collective leadership means to her, Silvia Roldan, originally of Ecuador, said, "I think that when we are together working in a group, we do much better. We have many different ideas. We join all of these ideas and we work together to create new programs and projects for the immigrant community. I think all of us have incredible skills that we brought from our countries and others that we got here in the United States. So we take all of those skills from all our members and we create marvelous programs for the immigrant community."
Ben Goebel, a founding member of the group and an immigrant from France, spoke about why the work of I Belong is important to Philadelphia:
"It's important because there are not many groups that exist that are one hundred percent made of immigrants who are here to help [other] immigrants, and also to make sure that we can empower immigrants to take action, to create events, and to make sure that their cultures are represented in the city."
As one of our honorees at Solas 2022, I Belong Philly is positioned to grow their reach exponentially, and we at The Welcoming Center are honored to provide any possible backing to allow them to achieve their goals. Please join us at Solas 2022 at Cherry Street Pier on April 27, 2022, to recognize and celebrate I Belong Philly!

Today I came across an interesting article in the Huffington Post about an amazing way the Netherlands looks after women in the days following birth. I was overwhelmed with what the impact of such care would have meant to myself, and all Canadians.
Get this: In Holland a special nurse comes to your home for the first week (or longer) to help with postnatal care not only for the baby, but also the mother. Now, I had a midwife when I gave birth to my son, and one of the best things about midwife care, in my opinion, is that they come to your home for pre and postnatal check-ups. I was so grateful for her (shout out to the Saskatoon Midwives!), and felt so bad every time I heard of a mother having to travel for her postnatal care.
But the Dutch postnatal nurses, called kraamverzorgster, take things to another level. They not only do the regular check ups for mom and baby, and help with breastfeeding as midwives do in Canada, but they come to your home for a full 7-8 hours a day, acting as a caregiver for the mom's well being and ensuring she has all the support she needs. Including helping with older children.
The kraamverzorgster will even cook the mom breakfast every morning. Wait, whaaatttt? The hardest thing for me in the first few days after my sons birth was not sleep, as so many think. It was EATING. Every time I attempted to even heat up a cup of coffee in the microwave, my son squawked and it was back to breastfeeding. I truly think the first postnatal month I ate less than I ever have in my entire life. Help with food during this time is so important because of the trauma your body has just gone through, and the extra energy breastfeeding takes.
In this blog from an expat in the Netherlands she explains that the kraamverzorgster would even run errands for her! Wow, what a resource. I think any of us who have experienced having a child here in Canada realizes how amazing this would be, and how much we can learn from this Dutch postnatal care goddess program.
These beautiful nurses also do various other things like household chores (hello new baby laundry), logging all the poos and pees (we all remember that panic don't we!), and monitoring the baby's general health. And all of this is paid by health care!
So what can we do, mamas, to get this going at home in Canada? Spread the word and insist on better support from our health leaders? I have little hope of that happening, so maybe instead we spread the word about this being the best gift idea ever for new moms. Forget the diaper cakes and cute outfits; the next time one of your friends announces they are pregnant, get everyone to pool their money and fly over a kraamverzorgster from Holland. I think we can all agree, it would be the most life changing gift to ever be given!


Smooth, straight, clean & hygienic.
Perfect for all sorts of treats, such as: lollies, toffee apples, crafts and more.
They're also great from model building or DIY projects.
They are super for kids' crafts, such as making wooden castles and flag poles!

Finding the strongest, most reinforced room in your home and keeping it stocked with the right supplies can mean the difference between life and death during a tornado or hurricane. Here's how to stay safe during a storm.
Stay away from windows and exterior doors. The strongest wall in a two-story home is often near the stairwell. A first-floor closet nearby may be the safest spot.
Reinforce your home. If you can afford to, consider spending about $1,000 to hire a reputable contractor to reinforce the safe area in your house.
If you think you have a poorly designed home, it's critical to have it inspected for hurricane readiness -- before a storm. That way, you can find out if anything is wrong and get it fixed. Unless you know the construction business, consider hiring an inspector. A private inspector generally charges about $300 to examine a three-bedroom home. Most structural problems, once you've identified them, can be corrected for less than $1,500.
Move to a small, interior room with no or few windows.
Don't forget to bring your pets into the room with an animal carrier if you have to leave after the storm.
Ideally, bring your cell phone and charger, but also have a land-line phone in the room as cell towers may be overwhelmed or damaged.
Use duct tape and plastic sheeting (heavier than food warp) to seal all cracks around the doors and any vents into the room.
Check the radio or your TV (if available) for further instructions & updates.
Pull in a mattress and blankets for everyone in the room.
Bring in tools & protective clothing as well in case you have to break through debris.
Have books and games or other forms of entertainment on hand to keep children occupied.


As a country the style of teaching, learning and absorbing has changed considerably, if for no other reason than the wealth of interaction available on our phones via the internet. It is more common to see a child clutching a phone than it is a hand, and their relationships are now governed by Facebook and other social media sites.
But we still expect standards. We still expect them to be able to write well and to write fluently, to spell effectively and to create interesting pieces of written work. So what does the role of the computer and all its peculiarities have to offer?
The spell check program and the grammar checker are a great help and they don't take away the skill of either; to be able to choose the correct word they have to have a recognition of the word shape and letter organisation, and as for the grammar checker, unless you know grammar well it can cause more problems than is realised. To be told the sentence is passive means nothing unless you have grasped the concept of passivity in the first place.
Being able to edit the work on screen is always a great bonus because the changes are made easier by cut and paste and children can make the change instantly rather than making a mess of their page of writing with all the crossings out and re-wording over the top. Little wonder few like to edit work on paper, by the tine they have finished it can look like the proverbial 'dog's dinner'.
As you can probably tell I am all for the idea of creating literacy using computers and for reasons more than I have listed here. The very action of striking the keys in a specific order teaches you how to spell a word without realising and often I have seen children striking imagined keys so as to transfer the spelling onto paper using a pen. Mild dyslexia is supported by various specialised programs which learns the child's own peculiarities in repeated spelling errors and flags it up for them. They have the choice then of changing it or not.
This piece of work was created by a girl in Year 5 using a computer. She has edited and considered not only what she is writing but the vocabulary and the flow. She was able to 'beautify' the work in her style and the pride with which she gave me a copy revealed how much time and consideration she had paid to completing it. The language is hers.
Have you ever been fighting along side warrior cats or flown on the back of magical horses? Well I have, in wonderful, fantastic books I have read and you could too. Reading, as you can guess, is my hobby. I love books so much that without them I would be a lostperson.
Throughout the years I have grown to love books more and more and now I have reached a stage where books are one of the only things I ask for on my birthday and at Christmas. I find books very interesting because they can tell you facts and how to do things which is one of the reasons I like them.
Another reason I like books is because it is a way to entertain your self and learn at the same time. Books have inspired me to write great stories at school and at home.
One of the series of books I have been reading is called Warriors, I have really enjoyed this series and I am on the fourth book in the series, which is called dangerous path, which I love. Books I think are brilliant and I would recommend reading to anyone who doesn't read.
As I said I love books and I want others to read to because it is a great thing to do when you have spare time, the reason I like reading is because you can find out about the character and their life. Another reason I like reading is because I am good at it, my usual speed is one chapter book a day but sometimes it takes two days.
The books I like to read most are cat books some of my favourite are Thomasine, the omen of the stars series and white chin. The reason I like cat books is because it's from the cat's point of view which is different from the adults and children's point of view.
Well that basically sums up why I like reading books.

Campanile di Santa Caterina
A bell tower guardian of the oldest bell in Venice, as well as one of the oldest in Europe.
There are no certain sources on the dating of the bell tower of Santa Caterina but its architectural characteristics attribute it to the fourteenth century, as well as one of its bells. Before the Benedictine monastery was demolished, its walls leaned against those of the tower.
The bell tower has been remodeled several times due to bad weather: in 1762 thanks to the will of a nun, in 1910 at the behest of the parish priest Don Giuseppe Camozzo, in 1987 thanks to the will of Monsignor Ettore Fornezza and finally in 2016 thanks to the interest of the parish priest Don Enzo Piasentin.
Currently the bell tower retains three bells. One of these, characterized by an elongated shape typically in Byzantine style, stands out for being the oldest bell in Venice: it is dated 1318 and is one of the oldest in Europe.
The precious bell comes from the parish of Sant'Angelo - of which only the bell tower remains - before the religious complex was suppressed by Napoleon in the nineteenth century. Currently, for safety reasons, the bells are rung through an electrical system while once manually and the original knockers - exhibited in the cloister of the Church of Santa Caterina - have been replaced by others in bronze of German style.
The oldest bell - which in 2018 celebrated its first 700 years - is defined by some as even magical: its extraordinary nature is linked to the materials with which it was built - bronze, gold and silver - which have the power to keep away the lightning.

Bayer Says Dicamba Decision Likely Coming Soon
Dan September 21, 2018 Environment, Industry News Release
The world's largest agribusiness is predicting the Environmental Protection Agency will decide soon on the future of dicamba. Bayer expects the EPA to issue a renewal and an updated license for the product in the weeks ahead.
Liam Condon, President of the Crop Science Division at Bayer, says, "The EPA wants to make a decision before the next growing season so that growers have certainty."
The weed system was first authorized by the EPA for a two-year period, which ends in November. The agency is currently deciding on whether the product should continue to be used and if there should be changes in how and when it could be used.
Following a large number of volatility and drift complaints last year, Bayer says those numbers are lower in 2018, thanks to mandatory training and spraying restrictions. Bayer says there were 99 complaints per every million acres of seed last year. The company says that number was down to 13 complaints per million acres of seed in 2018.
Bayer estimates dicamba-tolerant crops covered 50 million acres this year and predicts that number will only get larger in 2019.
