I'm inclined to say "take out the 'choke on it' line and leave the rest" but I also know there's some poor schmuck on the other end who is just doing his/her job because s/he is told to, so don't shoot the messenger.
On the other hand, I really REALLY hope those $618K bills are mostly (entirely!) covered, and soon.
Do I need to send more scones?
Yup - those types of things are ongoing. I think the classic in our household was when Mum was trying to change the phone account over from Dad's name to hers. The call centre in the Phillipines said it could not be done unless they talked to the account holder. My mother, totally exasperated by this point, still missing my Dad, and trying to sort out everything replied "Well, if you can get me a direct line to heaven, I can put him on the phone for you...if you cant do that, then you just have to trust me he is dead!"
I too would take out the last line, which is actually fairly nicely implied by the previous paragraph, and send it. I don't know why companies should always get away with this garbage with no push-back, and if it gives the powerless person who has to deal with it to think, that's all for the better.

Lourmel es una estación del metro de París situada en el XV Distrito al suroeste de la capital. Pertenece a la línea 8.

Historia
La estación se inauguró el 27 de julio de 1937 con la prolongación de la línea 8 hacía Balard.

Debe su nombre al general francés Frédéric Henri Le Normand de Lourmel fallecido en la batalla de Inkerman en 1854 tras ser herido en el pecho por una bala.

Descripción
A pesar de no haber sido nunca terminal de la línea se compone de 2 andenes de 105 metros de longitud y de tres vías, ordenados de la siguiente forma: v-a-v-v-a. Ello se debe a que una de las vías enlaza con el taller de Javel que se encarga del mantenimiento de los trenes de la línea 8.

Está diseñada en bóveda elíptica revestida completamente de los clásicos azulejos blancos biselados del metro parisino, con la única excepción del zócalo que es de color marrón. Los paneles publicitarios emplean un fino marco dorado con adornos en la parte superior.

Su iluminación ha sido renovada empleando el modelo vagues (olas) con estructuras casi adheridas a la bóveda que sobrevuelan ambos andenes proyectando la luz en varias direcciones.

La señalización por su parte usa la moderna tipografía Motte donde el nombre de la estación aparece en letras blancas sobre un panel metálico de color azul. Por último, los escasos asientos de la estación son blancos, individualizados y también de tipo Motte.

THE Brisbane Heat have beefed up their fast bowling stocks by signing Australian fast bowler James Pattinson.
The Victorian paceman, who has had Big Bash stints with the Melbourne Stars and Renegades, has signed for two-years.
Pattinson missing most of this season with a back injury that saw him undergo surgery in New Zealand late last year and has wretched luck with injuries.
But he is close to full fitness again and will begin bowling again during the winter.
Heat coach Dan Vettori said the club was delighted to attract a player of such calibre to the team.
"We identified some areas where we needed to improve on from last season, and James will help us deliver on some of that,'' he said.
"Knowing how Shane and other bowlers have managed their career in similar circumstances will help us provide the right environment for him to deliver his best. As a senior player, James will also have the chance to do likewise and mentor some of our up and coming bowlers,'' he said.
Pattinson is looking forward to a fresh start with the Heat.
"I'm looking forward to working with Dan and playing alongside Brendon McCullum and Chris Lynn and the rest of the boys,'' he said.
"I'm grateful for the opportunities I have had with the Renegades, and before them the Stars, and I thank them for the great support they have provided me over the seasons.
"I'm feeling very good physically after the surgery and I'm looking forward to getting back into some bowling during the winter. The facilities at Allan Border Field are second to none so that will also be very helpful as I build towards the coming season," he said.
Pattinson, who can push the speedometer to around 150kph, fills a void for the Heat who, according to national T20 assistant coach Ricky Ponting, needed some fast bowling muscle.
He made his Test debut as a 21-year-old against New Zealand at the Gabba, taking the first five wickets of the Black Caps' second innings but injuries have often short circuited his career.
He has taken 70 wickets at 26 in 17 Tests, as well as playing 15 ODIs and four T20 International games for Australia.

Did the White House Just Help Russia Ban Us From the International Space Station?
Jun 29th 2014 11:21AM
The International Space Station. Soon to be off-limits to the United States? Photo: Wikimedia Commons
Russia owns a piece of the International Space Station -- and it wants the U.S. to get off of it.
By now, you're probably familiar with the broad outlines of this story. It began in May, with Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin:
declaring that Russia would no longer sell America's space launch company, United Launch Alliance (ULA), the RD-180 rocket engines it needs to power its Atlas V rockets,
threatening to deny U.S. astronauts passage aboard Russian rockets to the ISS,
and announcing a desire to ban these astronauts access to the ISS entirely (a threat of doubtful legality).
Soon after, Air Force Undersecretary Eric Fanning promised to initiate a public-private partnership to develop a new rocket engine to replace the RD-180.
Congress moved swiftly to fund the initiative, with the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee approving $100 million in funding to develop an alternative, liquid-fueled rocket engine to replace Russia's RD-180, and the House Appropriations Committee going them one better -- recommending $220 million be allocated to new rocket development. And in an amazing exhibition of true "public-private partnership," Lockheed Martin , which along with Boeing runs ULA, announced it has already signed contracts with "several" American rocket companies to begin working up "next-generation liquid oxygen/hydrocarbon first stage propulsion concepts" to replace the RD-180.
In no time at all, America was off to the races. If all went well, said Lockheed Martin, it could have a working rocket engine built -- and a rocket ship built to carry it -- by 2019... and maybe even sooner.
And then, disaster struck.
On June 17, the Obama Administration released a statement opposing passage of H.R. 4870, the House Resolution that authorized spending $220 million to get America's new rocket engine off the ground. Complaining that these funds had been "unrequested" by the White House, and that "such a program would take eight years to field," the administration argued that the rocket engine Lockheed Martin has promised to build "would not reduce our reliance on Russian engines for at least a decade."

Complicating matters further, Russia appears to realize it has overplayed its hand as well. In just the past several days, Russian President Putin has called for an extension of the cease-fire between government and rebel forces in Ukraine (if you recall, this whole mess got started when the U.S. sanctioned Russia -- and Deputy PM Rogozin personally, in retaliation for Russian meddling in Ukraine). The Russian president has also instructed his country's parliament to rescind a March resolution authorizing military intervention in Ukraine, attempting to ratchet down tensions with the West.
ULA, meanwhile, says it's continuing to receive shipments of RD-180 rocket engines that it already has under contract from its Russian supplier. So far, says ULA, everything is still "business as usual."
What it means to investors
This is clearly good news for the Defense Department, which may no longer fear an immediate cut-off of its access to the RD-180. For investors, however, the situation has just become "clear as mud."
Will the presidents of Russia and the U.S. reach some sort of "space detente?" Will Russia convince ULA to keep buying its engines, in exchange for the U.S. promising not to develop an alternative?
Russian intransigence over the RD-180 sounded like good news for Aerojet Rocketdyne and its competing RS-25 rocket engines. But will it all come to naught? Photo: Wikimedia Commons
Such a scenario could derail Lockheed Martin's negotiations with its "multiple" rocket engine suppliers -- a list that we believe includes names such as Alliant TechSystems, Orbital Sciences, and GenCorp.. Billions of dollars' worth of development work -- and billions more in revenues from the sale of new, non-Russian-made engines -- are at stake.
Your Foolish takeaway
Personally, I hope that's not the way things play out -- and I don't think it's how they will play out. While President Obama's rejection of spending $220 million to fund an RD-180 replacement is worrisome, I don't believe this genie can be stuffed back into the bottle so easily.
In threatening to cut off our supply of RD-180 engines, and deny U.S. astronauts passage to the space station itself, Russia highlighted the folly of depending on an oftentimes hostile foreign government for America's access to space. This situation simply cannot stand -- and it won't.
Proof? At the same time as it objected to the cost of replacing the RD-180 with a new, American-made engine, the Obama administration emphasized its commitment to "promptly reducing our reliance on Russian technology," and assured Congress that "the Administration is evaluating several cost-effective options ... that will drive innovation, stimulate the industrial base, and reduce costs through competition."
In short, while this story of America's response to the RD-180 crisis continues to throw new twists and turns at us, it's not over yet. Stay tuned.

Chitravina N. Ravikiran (born February 12, 1967) is an Indian Carnatic music musician and composer. He gives both vocal concerts and concerts in the instrument chitravina (gottuvadyam). He is the grandson of famous musician gottuvadyam Narayan Iyengar.
Ravikiran was born in Mysore, Karnataka, India. At the age of two, he impressed scholars with his knowledge in Carnatic music. In 1969, he made his first appearance in the Malleshwaram Sangeeta Sabha, Bangalore. Soon after that he was presented in The Madras Music Academy, Krishna Ghana Sabha he was able to identify and render about 325 ragas (melodic scales) and 175 talas (rhythmic cycles). He was quizzed by famous musicians such as Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, Pandit Ravi Shankar, M S Subbulakshmi and others.
The Music Academy, Madras, awarded the two-year-old, a monthly scholarship for the next few years. Ravikiran trained in Carnatic music under the guidance of his father, Narasimhan. Ravikiran debuted as a vocalist in 1972, at Coimbatore at the age of five years. At the age of 10, he switched over to the 21-stringed chitravina. However, he resumed his vocal recitals in 1999 and now presents both vocal and instrumental concerts.
Ravikiran is the author of several books, Appreciating Carnatic Music and Perfecting Carnatic Music Level I and II. He is also the founder of the International Foundation for Carnatic Music. 'Chitraveena' Ravikiran was extremely sensitive in his playing and at no juncture did he try to go overboard either in the musical form or in exhibiting his creativity. The entire programme was well thought out and every artist contributed his share without much ado. More than the main Ragam Tanam Pallavi suite in Khambodi, Lalitha, the first raga taken up for expansion and delivery, walked away with all honours for its melody and Ravikiran's mastery. Lalitha always offers good scope for the artist who approaches it with a vision; Ravikiran's interpretation was simply inspiring with ample gamakam at the appropriate phrases thus unfolding the exceptional magnetism of the raga. Dikshitar's 'Hiranmayeem Lakshmim' is another gem that touches the principal prayogas in many ways colourfully.
Ravikiran has been hailed as a true instrumental virtuoso in world music today. His accomplishments on the exquisite 20/21-string-slide instrument, the chitravina, have made a striking impact in the arena of slide instruments as a whole. The distinctiveness of his style stems from his vocal training, which have enabled him to forge new techniques - especially the microtonal oscillations and fast phrases that combine grace and force - that have extended the overall scope of slide instruments. His unique manner of playing even 3-5 minute long phrases without using his right hand have left musicians as well as music lovers speechless the worldover. In a strictly Indian context, his handling of the chitravina has enabled him to project the minutest aspects of Carnatic music in a singular manner that blends the best aspects of vocal and instrumental techniques.
Ravikiran received his first title in 1973, at the age of six and has since been the first or youngest to receive many awards. Mentioned below are some of those.

'The Bachelorette': What Does Hannah B. See In Luke P. That We're Missing?
From the first episode, Bachelorette Hannah Brown and contestant Luke P. have had an undeniable connection. He was awarded her first impression rose and, in the first few episodes, the two couldn't keep their hands off one another (cut to the shirtless massage that took place during a cocktail party).
Though Hannah B. is a big fan of Luke P., she seems to be the only one. In the most recent episode, it became very evident just how every other contestant feels towards the polarizing first impression rose winner. After Luke P. supposedly body slammed Luke S. on the rugby field (an act that was not shown on camera), several contestants let Luke P. know how they felt about it.
Garrett called him out for lying: "Why would everybody else tell us another story than what you just told us? You just said, 'Oh I pushed him down, he was on the ground, started cussing me, clenched fists,' this is all after you said you don't remember what happened," he said.
Then Mike hit Luke P. with that brutal psychopath accusation: "I don't think you're right for Hannah. You, time and time again, are the issue. You are aggressive, you are abnormally violent, you scheme about things, you have lied about things. Your character has shown that you are unstable. You are a psychopath. That's who you are," he said.
And yet, despite his unpopularity in the house, Hannah B. has maintained her strong connection with Luke P. Just before the rugby match took place, Hannah B. told ET that she was "really excited about that relationship" when asked about Luke P.
I just want to address the elephant in the room here really quick. First I want you all to know how hard it has been for me to watch myself this season so far. Regardless of what is aired AND IF @alabamahannah and I are together or not my behavior in all situations has been and will continue to be exposed. I have learned a lot and I am continuing to learn about my flaws as a man. I'm the first to admit I am far from perfect. This journey has giving me a great opportunity to grow and mature as a man, for that I am grateful. For those of you who are on this journey with me I am grateful for your support and hope you get to learn and grow from my mistakes with me!
A post shared by Luke Joshua Parker (@luke_parker777) on May 28, 2019 at 9:38am PDT
She's spoken before about how strong her relationship was with Luke P. during the beginning of filming.
"He was the first person I had a connection with. Like, real, indescribable connection with I would say," she told ET.
In the same interview, she went on to say that her and Luke P.'s "emotional and physical connection is like far beyond the other men."
So what are we missing?
The other contestants don't like Luke P. Many of the fans watching along at home are wary of Luke P. What does Hannah B. see that we're not?
Leaving my house knowing Hannah Brown was selected to be the bachelorette I knew that I had a legitimate chance to find my future wife. I was extremely excited to meet her and was very hopeful that I would find my person. I have learned a lot about myself during this journey and I'm excited to share it with you all in the coming weeks. It means the world to me to get all of these encouraging messages from you guys. My faith is very important to me and I appreciate all of you guys showing me the love, support, and encouragement for sharing what I believe in. I cannot thank you enough. I want you all to know that I hope to be a source of encouragement posting about my motivation to be a better person and my love for God. I just want to be transparent and real with my posts so that people can see the real me. I'm not perfect, but I know the one who is. #faithfuloverfamous
A post shared by Luke Joshua Parker (@luke_parker777) on May 16, 2019 at 4:11pm PDT
We have to remember that Hannah B. only sees what she gets. She doesn't get to watch any of the footage that's filmed when she's not there, but can't she read the vibe he's giving off? In other relationships, she's being much more cautious. She just told Tyler C. on their one-on-one that she wasn't sure about him at first because she thought he was a player. How can she be so unsure about Tyler C. but so sure about Luke P.? Either Luke P. is just a huge blind spot for her, or we're not seeing a lot of their meaningful interactions. Maybe it's a purely physical attraction, but even in the quote mentioned above she says she and Luke P. share an "emotional and physical connection [that's] like far beyond the other men."
Whatever the reason for Hannah B.'s original connection with Luke P., she seems to be a bit more wary of him these days. It seems like she can sense that he's not very well liked in the mansion. But is it enough to send him home?

CHICAGO -- Thursday, January 19 is Barack Obama's last full day as president of the United States.
A Chicago woman is such a big fan of his, she's spent the last four months taking him everywhere she goes.
Ximena Larkin was one of the millions of Chicagoans who was moved by Barack Obama's message of hope, change and believing that anything was possible.
In 2012, she wrote an op-ed for the Sun-Times and carried it around in her pocket, hoping to meet the president and deliver her message in person one day.
In 2016, as Obama was nearing the end of his presidency, Ximena still hadn't been able to shake his hand. If she couldn't stand next to the living and breathing president -- she decided to do the next best thing -- purchase a life-size cutout of him.
That's right -- she purchased a life-size cardboard cutout of President Obama and she took him with her everywhere she went. She called it "Baracking Around."
Over the last few months, Ximena and the cardboard president have traveled all over the country -- meeting all kinds of people along the way.
Ximena started this journey with hopes of meeting her favorite president. Instead, she met hundreds of strangers who shared personal stories.
Seeing @BarackObama become president made me believe in the American dream. It's why I've been #BarackingAround! I hope one day I can shake his hand and thank him for instilling a sense of belief and faith in the power of your dreams. Here's hoping we keep the dream alive tonight #imwithher 😜🤘🏽😎 Thanks for taking my emo pic @supervicky55!!!
She even connected with people who don't share the president's politics. She says the lesson is to listen to each other, because we may have more in common than we think.

Irish Band Of The Week – Twin Headed Wolf
This week's Irish Band of the Week are Twin Headed Wolf, hailing from the wilds of the West of Ireland, Lahinch in Co. Clare. The duo are comprised by the unconventional folk flavoured twin-sister pair of Julie and Branwen. The band have been described as 'a playful, experimental, ingenious mix of old and new', with their live performances acting in an metamorphic throughout, utilising an ever-changing list of instruments from a typewriter, some bones, half of a teacup, a saw and an old milk jug alongside a kalimba, a harmonium, a guitar and a decapitated trumpet. The twins bounce off of each other for inspiration, allowing them to create intricate harmonies, combined with more cloyingly haunting lyrics that all combine to make an otherworldly essence to their music.
Their stage show attempts to reflect all these paradoxes in one single set, so much so that it has come to be described as a 'happening'. The entire things is both a visual and lyrical experience. Their larger shows are almost theatrical in their styling, with stilt walkers and human puppets, sacrifices and ritualistic dances, and three legged fiddle players, five part harmonies and a band of sprites, handmade instruments and processions, contemporary dance and improvised wilderness. All an intense display that perfectly mimics Twin Headed Wolf's awe-inspiring musical style.
The band have developed quite the reputation for themselves in recent years, naturally, for their performances but the sheer energy they display while performing. The array of festivals they have performed in the last few years has established them as one of the most hotly-tipped acts to see. When this pair found playing at Glastonbury Festival 2014 and they were earmarked as Glastonbury's 'most special festival find' by the Spectator. Their first single 'Shrines and Ceremonies' has received nationwide radio play and immense praise.
The Long Decay, Twin Headed Wolf's debut album, has just been released and is set to take this world and the otherworld by storm. You can buy it from here.
Check out their wonderful track below.

The thing that I have always wanted and needed... a beach pillow!!! Global lifestyle brand CAIA has launched their range of innovative and vibrant waterproof beach pillows in Australia - they are designed to bring easy and stylish comfort to the beach this Summer.
Launched in 2012 overseas, CAIA was born from designer Ines Fortunato's personal search for a beach pillow that would be not only practical, comfortable and resistant to the seaside elements, but also beautiful. Finding nothing on the market that met her needs, Fortunato developed an innovative and unique design of her own.
With a strong focus on design, quality and endurance, these pillows are crafted from a waterproof plasticised-cotton cover and polyester stuffing and to ensure a lasting, watertight finish, the seams are fully-stitched. Each beach pillow comes with a practical, clip-on nautical rope, for ease of carrying anywhere you go.
The designs feature bold patterns and vibrant hues with a variety of exclusive designs that are sure to meet the taste of any beach-goer.
My top picks are below... now it's time hit the beach!
With summer on its way and everyone gearing up to hit the beach what better time to discover the beautiful beach towel range FUTAH! Based in Portugal, Futah offers up an array of vibrant, carry-with-ease cotton beach towels that was born from a desire to create a towel that is "equal parts light, absorbent, resistant and unlike any other".
Inspired by Turkish bath towels, Futah reinvigorated the traditional design, evolving the fabric composition and developing original and exclusive patterns and colours. Made from 100% Egyptian cotton, Futahs have a lightweight design making them not only compact and easily transportable, but supremely absorbent, fast-drying and resistant to salt water and high levels of sunshine.
Their latest collection entitles 'All we need is Freedom' has just launched in Australia and their inspiration behind the collection is freedom. They designed this latest collection for the free-spirited and bohemian, for whom summer is not just a season, but a year-round destination. And for all of us interiors addicts out there, our love of design and composition extends way beyond the insides of our homes, so having the most stylish towel on the beach is obviously a must!
Drawing inspiration from their home shores in Portugal, each towel is named after a beach in Portugal and is available in a range of colours and patterns. With designs ranging from vibrant shades and eclectic patterns to understated nautical stripes, and with styles in both single (100 x 190cm) and double (190 x 190) sizes, there is a Futah for everyone and every occasion.
So pack you bag and head to the beach with your new beach towel to soak up the sunshine, swim the ocean and enjoy all that life has to offer!


So perhaps this unprecedented problem will finally be meaningfully addressed by the president and Congress, with new emphasis on green energy, carbon taxes, anti-fracking legislation, elimination of subsidies to oil and gas companies, rejection of new pipelines, and so on. Climate prophet Bill McKibben is in the midst of a 21-city "Do the math" tour, drawing thousands of supporters, all demanding that carbon dioxide be left in the ground. Fossil fuels are choking the planet, and a critical mass of Americans are waking up to it.

The future of storytelling lies in our primal past.

In addition to the time that I spend creating stories in the present, I spend a fair amount of time thinking about the nature of storytelling in the future. This past August, I had the pleasure of participating in the "Future of Storytelling" panel at the NEU Future Forum in Beijing. Though our panelists had prodigious technical chops, we focused upon the creative aspects of storytelling and content creation. Given the day's packed agenda, our panel of five had just a half hour of time, so I needed to be succinct (which doesn't come naturally). As the microphone made its way to me, I thought about all the things I could say about the future of storytelling: how the technology will sublimate itself, how content will become increasingly immersive and adaptive, and how an active audience will be assumed. It's all been said before, and is not really that important. Ultimately, I came back to this:
The future of storytelling lies in our primal past: it helps us make sense of the world, and our place in it.
The forum's morning speakers unintentionally reminded me of this point. Attending an event in which people talk about the future can be a depressing experience - not due to dystopian prognostications (which are generally absent), but from utopian presenters paving the road to hell with good intentions (or even more disheartening, paving the road to hell with grasping intentions disguised as altruism). Founders and VCs have the tendency to myopically champion future technology ideals ("Unlimited global energy from just one solar mega-farm!") without addressing socio-economic and ethical consequences (massive unemployment in disrupted industries, monopolization of power, price fixing - just to name a few). Listening to a VC admit during Q&A that he is less focused on social consequences and more focused on "creating value" (which is code for exploiting the many to benefit a few) is both amusing and scary.
There's a disingenuous flow of lip service about technology "liberating" us to "have more time to ourselves" (as if our technology-infused lives are less hectic than before) and to "be more creative" (as if a disrupted coal miner has simply been waiting for a good excuse to pivot into app design). Thinkers such as Dalida Turkovic are more honest in observing, "Technology is being used to fuel addiction more than creativity." If there is to be a course correction, we must take matters into our own hands. Governments and corporations are compromised. When Google found itself unable to live up to its waggish "Don't be evil." slogan, it rectified the discrepancy not by changing the offending business practices, but by dropping the constraining slogan.
As the startup world's "disruption fetish" continues, people will have a greater need than ever to make sense of the changing world around them. This is more important than ever, but it is nothing new.
The Paleolithic Lascaux cave paintings in southwest France may be mankind's earliest visual narratives, featuring imaginative abstractions that powerfully depicted the realities of life and survival 17,000 years ago. Given that the painters and their people had to enter the unfamiliar territory of the caves to create and relive the stories by flickering firelight, these environments can be regarded as early "mixed reality" experiences. These experiences served as entry points which allowed early people to literally and figuratively disengage from reality and embrace "alternate realities" full of symbols and visions, lessons and possibilities.
The impulse to create stories in which we can imaginatively and vicariously experience alternate realities has always been with us. While our technologies have evolved over the millennia, our need remains the same: to make sense of the world, and our place in it. The future of storytelling lies in our primal past - not in our tech, but in our psyche. As the pace of "progress" intensifies, as we hurtle headlong into the future, as we face a barrage of unknowns with the instincts of our cave-dwelling ancestors, the aspirational centering of storytelling is more important than ever.
The challenge is not with the constraints of the technology, but with the capabilities of the creator and their connection to the audience.

We all know that in the current economic climate, sponsorship deals are hard to come by. Ever more so in Greece where two lower league teams have taken the novel approach getting sponsorship in anyway way they can.
Paliopygros FC have taken the morbid approach and are now sponsored by a local Undertakers, changing their colours to black and purple in the process.
Voukefalas have even gone one further than that and have signed a sponsorship deal with a local brothel.
We would love to hear of any unusual sponsorship deals that any of you have heard of, but were sure nothing will be able to beat this. In 2006, English junior team Greenbank FC sealed a sponsorship deal for the under 11's side to be sponsored by Rock Band Motorhead.

The insurance industry has embraced data analytics to drive business results. However, insurers are dealing with the challenges of diverse core systems with little data integration and limited agreement on what data assets mean. Instead of mining for insights, many insurers are still struggling with basic data quality and completeness issues. In a new brief, Data Strategies for Insurers, research and advisory firm Novarica identifies key issues and best practices for developing and maintaining a comprehensive data strategy that looks across the entire organization: at people, process, and technology.
"A data strategy becomes a key enabler to achieve strategic capabilities like predictive modeling and analytics," said Mitch Wein, Vice President of Research and Consulting, and lead author of Novarica's new report. "The strategy will align people, process, and technology in a comprehensive way to outline a target, how to get there, and how to bring the organization together to achieve this target."
A preview of the brief is available online at https://novarica.com/data-strategy-for-insurers-key-issues-and-best-practices/, and desk copies are available to qualified media. Please contactmedia@novarica.com or call Victoria Spitz at 617-897-1921 for more information.


tart cherries. Cherry Salsa is one way to show how versatile the Montmorency tart cherry really is. This fantastic salsa is made from vine-ripened tomatoes, onions, jalapeño peppers, and of course, tart cherries. We leave the cherries whole and dice everything else, so you can see the cherries in our salsa. The cherries give the salsa a subtle sweet, tart flavor that is unmistakeable. Perfect on chips, or baked over chicken. We put a jar in our favorite chili recipe.

Underreporting Common Across All Sexual Assault Cases, Especially For Ethnic Minorites
KGOU
Jacob McCleland
Protestors gather at a rally in front of the Oklahoma County District Court while a jury deliberates in the Daniel Holtzclaw case on Dec. 8, 2015.
Former Oklahoma City Policeman Daniel Holtzclaw was found guilty last week of 18 out of 36 charges brought against him, including 4 counts of first-degree rape. The trial involved 13 black women accusing him of rape, sexual assault, and other crimes. The trial also shone a light on issue of sexual assault reporting and race.
Crowds gathered outside the courtroom for days while the jury deliberated last week. But among the reporter scrums and general supporters, there were women like Chaya Fletcher, a member of Oklahoma City Artists for Justice.
"People weren't really talking about the case at all until the actual trial started," Fletcher said.
"So for us, it's like letting the community know, 'Hey, this is what's going on.' [We're] letting the prosecutors know, 'Hey, we're watching and we care. And these women matter,'" she said.
Fletcher lives in the same part of town where Holtzclaw used to patrol. And she says Holtzclaw's victims were all vulnerable.
Their ages ranged from 17 to 50-something, and many had a history of drug use or outstanding warrants. Holtzclaw's defense attorney tried to paint them as uncredible.
"I am appalled at how we framed these women. These women could be my sister, my mother, my daughter," Fletcher said.
Reporting Shortfalls
Deb Stanaland is the Chief Support Services Officer for the YWCA of Oklahoma City. She says it's not surprising that a victim's past would come to light at trial.
"Of course this person may have a less desirable reputation because that's what a perpetrator looks for," Stanaland says.
She says women of all backgrounds are victims of sexual assault, but reported rapes among black women are higher across the country than those among white or Asian women. Stanaland says many victims don't immediately come forward.
"In the black community, for instance, historically, they're going to take care of things themselves. I'm going to go to my aunt and talk to her about this, or my cousin or my relatives, and we're going to take care of this in-house," she says.
"We're going to go to our minister and talk about it because there has been somewhat of a distrust, because of our overall history, to go to authorities and say, 'This has happened to me.'"
Between things like victim blaming and having to re-live an attack during trial, Stanaland says the barriers to reporting rapes are high, especially among non-white groups.
Oklahoma's Uniform Crime Report for 2013 shows nearly one-third of forcible and attempted rapes occurred in Oklahoma County, and numbers across the state are on the rise.
Last year, the YWCA in Oklahoma City, for example, performed 400 rape exams.
"When you think about only 25-26% of rapes are reported in the first place, it is a huge problem in our society," Stanaland says.
She points to education as the main way to increase reporting of sexual assaults across the state.
A Generational Trend
Back at the courthouse last week, Chaya Fletcher sat with Sache Primeaux-Shaw, another member of Oklahoma City Artists for Justice. While they waited for a verdict for Holtzclaw, one thought kept echoing in Primeaux-Shaw's mind: It could've been her.
"I'm no different than any of them," She said.
"Even though I'm educated and all of that, I'm no different than any of them. I just would have been in the same position they were in."
Primeaux-Shaw calls the case a blow to her community, and says the women and their socioeconomic status made them especially vulnerable.
"These ladies, some of them, needed help. They're just victims of their circumstances. Whatever they did in the past doesn't condone what he did to them," Primeaux-Shaw said.
Both she and Fletcher realize the problem with underreporting for women of color, and Fletcher points to the same pattern the YWCA's Deb Stanaland recognized. Fletcher says black women take care of their own. But now, she wants things to change.
"We have always been very guarded with things that happen in our community and doing that generationally, we've kind of swept that under the rug," Fletcher said.
"And I think we've created a space where women feel more powerful to own their stories and comfortable in sharing with them to connect with other women so we can work together to heal."
She says the goal is to create a community that won't accept rape culture and the victim blaming that goes along with it. It may take time, Fletcher says, but she insists it's worth the fight.

Michael Linden finds nothing but austerity, insincerity, and duplicity in the latest plan from House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan.
both Republicans and Democrats just eight months ago. And so once again this appears to be a budget specifically designed to cater to the richest 1 percent while poking everyone elseincluding the middle class and anyone who wants to see bipartisan agreement on the federal budgetright in the eye. Here are the six most important failures of the new House budget plan. It would: Undermine the middle class Rig the system even more heavily in favor of the richest 1 percent End the Medicare guarantee and raise health care costs for seniors Undercut the economic recovery Deviate dramatically from a balanced approach to deficit reduction Renege on last years bipartisan budget agreement Lets look at each in turn.
Nearly every important element of the new budget proposal from the Republican leadership in the House would weaken the middle class in America. First and foremost, the plan ends the Medicare guarantee of decent health insurance in retirement. It also slashes critical middle-class investments, such as education and infrastructure by 45 percent and 24 percent, respectively. It includes not a single new measure to help the nearly 13 million unemployed get back into a decent job. And on top of all that, the middle class would end up paying higher taxes as well.
But this budget plan isnt content just to take from the poor and middle classit also gives generously to the rich. It protects existing tax breaks for those at the top of the income spectrum, and then goes the next step and offers them huge new tax cuts. Rep. Ryan and his colleagues insist that the more than $3 trillion in tax cuts for the rich wont result in lower revenue, but are deliberately vague about how the numbers could possibly add up. The reality is that the only way to pay for such huge tax cuts for the 1 percent is to make the 99 percent pick up the tab.
rently have with a capped voucher that seniors would use to purchase health care coverage on the private market. Unlike last year, however, the new plan claims to maintain traditional Medicare as an option that seniors could choose to purchase. This sounds a little better, but in reality their latest health care scheme for senior citizens would inevitably result in a death spiral for Medicare that means higher costs for seniors.
Though weve recently enjoyed several months of solid job growth, our current economic recovery is by no means assured, and we still have a long way to go to get back to full economic health. Not only does the House Republican budget plan fail to propose even a single new idea for spurring job creation, it would also force an immediate swerve into severe austerity. Its an economic prescription that, as Europe is finding out, will make matters much worse.
Rep. Ryan is fond of starring in videos in which he gravely lectures on the need to address our long-term fiscal challenges. Hes not wrong about that. We do need to address those challenges. And over the past 18 months, many a detailed plan have been put forth to do just that. Several of those plans have even garnered bipartisan support. What they have in common is a commitment to balanced deficit reductionwhich includes both spending cuts and revenue increasesand realistic proposals with numbers that add up. Rep. Ryans new plan doesnt come close to fitting that bill. Its definitely not balanced. Not only would he place the entire burden of deficit reduction on the middle class and the poor but also would actually give the rich additional tax breaks at the same time. And the numbers dont even add up to real deficit reduction. The tax proposals alone would break the bank, and the spending cuts are unrealistic in the extreme. Its no wonder that Rep. Ryan didnt allow the Congressional Budget Office to evaluate the budgets actual policy proposals.
The debt-limit debacle of last summer did have one positive outcomeafter narrowly avoiding a government shutdown several different times in 2011 it cleared the way for a smooth budget process this year. The debt-limit deal, known as the Budget Control Act, included an agreement on overall discretionary spending levelsthe money that Congress appropriates each yearfor the coming fiscal year. The Budget Control Act passed both houses of Congress with wide bipartisan majorities and was signed into law by President Obama in August last year.
For his part, President Obama adhered to the enacted law when he presented his proposed budget for FY 2013 earlier this year. The new House Republican plan, however, completely reneges on it. Its tough to see how a bipartisan deficit reduction agreement can ever be reached when even previously agreed-to bipartisan deals fall through.
There is no question that the United States today faces enormous economic challenges. We lost over 8 million jobs during the Great Recession, the middle class just suffered through a decade of stagnant or even declining incomes while those fortunate enough to be in richest 1 percent are collecting an increasingly large share of the national income. And of course, the federal budget is in need of a serious recalibration to put it on a more sustainable path. For most of these problems, the House Republican budget offers no solutions at all. It has nothing to offer the middle class aside from more struggles and fewer protections. It completely ignores widening income inequality except to exacerbate it by delivering the rich more tax cuts. It wouldnt even balance the budget for decades, and in the meantime, by brushing off a previously agreed-upon budget law, it signals an utter rejection of the very concept of compromise. In short, today was not a good day for American economic progress. Michael Linden is Director of Tax and Budget Policy at the Center for American Progress.

Pinhead Junior
By Steven Lloyd Wilson | Industry | October 18, 2010 |
Hellraiser: Revelations is the ninth film in the Hellraiser series and will be the first to not feature Doug Bradley as Pinhead. The film bounced around for years, either rumored to be a reboot or a remake, but now that filming has wrapped, we're getting a lot more details spilling out. First, it's neither reboot nor remake so much as just another film in the line, though how loyal it will be to various plot points of the interminable sequels is still up in the air and probably doesn't really matter to anyone anyway. The plot is summarized as:
[The plot] centers around a dinner party held by one of the families of two late teenage boys who ran away and went missing in Mexico. Strange video footage and items were found at their last known location, but nothing has been heard from them for over a year. The dinner party is filled with tension and strange revelations. But the evening takes an even more bizarre turn when one of the boys—beaten, bloodied, exhausted and terrified—turns up. Relief and joy are mixed with a myriad of questions and concerns and soon a mass of secrets, hidden agendas and evil truths take us on a journey into the bizarre and terrifying world of Pinhead and the Cenobites.
Eh. Nothing too exciting or surprising about that summary. It doesn't do anything particularly original but neither does it just steal outright from previous films. The film is slated for a 2011 DVD release, which tells me two things with a decent level of confidence. First, it's probably going to suck, because the ninth film of a series that goes straight to DVD is not exactly the sweet spot of cinematic candy. Second, no one would care about this at all if not for the fact that Doug Bradley is being replaced. If anything, it will probably do slightly better than it otherwise would, just because of horror fans who'd completely forgotten the series checking it out to rip into the new guy.
Here are the first pics from the film, showing Stephan Smith Collins in full Pinhead makeup.
There's nothing particularly wrong with the pics, but he just doesn't quite look the part. It's not just that he doesn't look like Doug Bradley, but that he just doesn't pull off that carved-out-of-stone-about-to-devour-your-soul smoldering stare that Bradley communicates in every still frame of the character.

As every one knows, the Egyptian Museum, Cairo, is naturally lit and due to the architectural style of it, there are glass windows on its roof. The criminals broke the glass windows and used ropes to get inside, there is a distance of four metres from the ceiling to the ground of the museum. The ten people broke in when I was at home and, although I desperately wanted to go to the museum, I could not leave my house due to the curfew. In the morning, as soon as I woke up, I went directly there… Luckily, the criminals who stole the jewellery from the gift shop did not know where the jewellery inside the museum is kept. They went into the Late Period gallery but, when they found no gold, they broke thirteen vitrines and threw the antiquities on the floor. Then the criminals went to the King Tutankhamun galleries. Thank God they opened only one case! The criminals found a statue of the king on a panther, broke it, and threw it on the floor.
But apart from damaging priceless artifacts – and for a rough list of what was damaged, see Eloquent Peasant – two mummies were destroyed and had their heads ripped off. The mummies, which have not yet been identified in the media, may have been those of Tutankhamun's grandparents, and were among the best-preserved in the museum's holdings.
It's possible, based on what I've read on Twitter and elsewhere, that the plan was to sell these on the black market. The salaries of many Egyptians are so low, and unemployment is so high (these are some of the reasons people have been protesting for the last week) that it might be a temptation too far for some. That the would-be thieves came in through the roof suggests a certain element of organisation and planning, although nothing more has been said about them.
Quite apart from attempting to steal some of the most priceless treasures any civilisation has produced, the desecration of the dead is something I find particularly horrifying. Whether it was Carter hacking up Tutankhamum in order to remove him from the coffin, or this atrocity, the destruction of a corpse is just unforgivable. I accept that removing the bodies from their original context in their tombs was, in itself, disturbing the dead, but as it was for their long-term preservation and safeguarding it was clearly for the best. What happened in the Cairo museum was mindless vandalism and cruelty, depriving not only the dead of their dignity but future generations of the chance to learn of and see these historical figures first-hand.
Perhaps part of my disgust is that mummification keeps the bodies so close to the state in which they were in at death. I think this adds to the horror of what happened, because these criminals destroyed two bodies which were clearly identifiable. I can only wonder at the inner workings of whoever could bring themselves to do this. Like Dr Hawass, my blood too is boiling. When I heard that the museum had been broken in to and mummies beheaded, my heart skipped a few beats. I have loved Egyptian history for as long as I can remember, and I am passionate about the preservation of all history. It is all part of human civilisation, and if we don't remember and treasure what has gone before, what is the point of going forward?
Dr Hawass' statement, which had to be faxed to Italy to be put online, as the Egyptian government has shut down the internet there, also mentions that stores of antiquities at various other dig sites have been looted. We can only hope that some of these can be recovered, but history teaches us that they may be gone unless turned in or otherwise stumbled across. In Cairo, Egyptian citizens mindful of their magnificent heritage surrounded the museum to keep looters out until the army could take control of the building. I am unsure what is happening at other sites.
While I know there are those who believe Dr Hawass to be more intent on grandstanding and seeking publicity, the fact remains that he is a master of his field and that his passion for antiquities sparks something in everyone who hears him. I met him once, very briefly, when he gave a guest lecture in UCC. I still have my lecture notes with his autograph, "Zahi", scrawled across them. His enthusiasm for Egyptian archaeology and heritage was infectious, and so I know that his distress at what has happened is all the more intense.
"My heart is broken and my blood is boiling". These words sum up the feelings of anyone who loves history and who shares the horror at the events of this week.
I'm also watching Egyptology News for updates on the situation.
UPDATE: 30/1/2011, 21.23: KV64 has more on the damage.


The one question I get asked the most often by sole traders is what expenses can be charged against business profits for tax purposes. This blog lists some of the most important tax deductible expenses. (please note that the below applies to sole traders, not to limited companies).
The basic rule is that you can claim expenses that are wholly and exclusively for the purpose of carrying out your trade. The most obvious ones are cost of stock, and payroll costs.
Costs of working from home: If you work out of your home then as a sole trader you can charge a proportion of certain household expenses such as mortgage interest, utility bills, and insurance. A good way to calculate the proportion to charge is to do a rough estimate of square footage used, or base it on the number of rooms used, and the amount of time they are used for business. Note if you are using part of your house exclusively for business then this can give you problems with capital gains tax when you sell your house in the future – non exclusive use is much safer. Alternatively you can claim £4 for each week where you use part of your house for work, which is an easier calculation!
Telephone: You can claim a proportion of your line rental and call charges. The best approach is to periodically track your business calls and your personal calls so you can see what proportion of the use is business. Keep a record of it (a call log) to support your tax return.
Broadband: You can also claim a proportion of your broadband costs – again support this through keeping a log to show how many hours broadband is used for business vs. personal. You could keep a log for a couple of weeks every few months assuming that those weeks are representative.
Mileage: Mileage is calculated at 45p a mile for cars for the first 10,000 miles, and 25p a mile above 10,000 miles. You can also claim mileage for motorbikes at 24p a mile, and for cycles at 20p a mile – now there is a good reason to get fit and cycle! Mileage can only be claimed for business mileage, and travel to your normal place of work cannot be charged (so if you work in the same office every day, that is viewed as normal commuting, and is not allowable for tax purposes). Click here for more info on car expenses.
Business insurance: If you need any insurance for your business, e.g. public liability insurance, professional indemnity insurance, etc. then the cost is tax deductible.
Magazine subscriptions: If you have a subscription to a magazine, trade paper, etc. which is relevant for your business (e.g. Vogue if you are in fashion) then you can offset this against your business profits.
Website costs: Ongoing website hosting costs for your business site are tax deductible. Website development costs are viewed as capital expenditure so are treated differently, ask for advice from your accountant.
Advertising and marketing: You can charge your PR, advertising, and marketing costs against your business profits. Be careful though, you may think that business entertainment falls under this heading, but it doesn't, and is not tax deductible.
Professional fees: If you pay a lawyer to draft your terms and conditions, or you pay an accountant for your end of year accounts, all of these fees are allowable for tax purposes.
Ongoing training costs: If you need to keep your skills and knowledge up to date then you can claim costs for training against your profits. If you are being taught something new which will enable you to add to your products or services then that is viewed as capital, and you should seek advice from your accountant.
Make sure you keep good records of your expenses, and all your receipts – either original hard copies or electronic scanned versions – to support your tax return.
Are there any other expenses you think you should be able to claim which I have not discussed above? Post a comment and I will reply as soon as possible.
