OCR's New Top HIPAA Enforcer Departs
What Will Be the Impact of Iliana Peters' Exit? Marianne Kolbasuk McGee (HealthInfoSec) • February 9, 2018
Iliana Peters joins the law firm Polsinelli.
Iliana Peters has left the Department of Health and Human Services' Office for Civil Rights just months after she was named to replace the agency's former top HIPAA enforcer, Deven McGraw, as acting deputy director for health information privacy.

Peters on Feb. 5 joined the Washington office of the law firm Polsinelli as a shareholder and an attorney in its healthcare operations practice. Her last day at OCR was Feb. 2.
Peters tells Information Security Media Group that her departure from OCR - only months after the departure of McGraw - shouldn't be interpreted as another sign of a brain drain at the agency or an indicator that OCR is changing course on its enforcement activities.
Despite the departure of McGraw in November to join Silicon Valley start-up health technology firm Ciitizen and Peters' exit after about 12 years at the agency - including a long stint as the senior adviser for HIPAA compliance and enforcement - "the career staff at OCR hasn't changed much" lately, Peters says. Neither has the agency's HIPAA enforcement focus, she contends. "Enforcement is in a good place at OCR."
In addition to OCR's Washington headquarters staff, "the regional staff is terrific," she says. "They really know these cases and how they should be handled, moved forward. OCR continues enforcing HIPAA, [including] publishing guidance."
But privacy attorney Kirk Nahra of the law firm Wiley Rein, a regulatory expert, says Peters' departure raises concerns. "Her departure is a significant loss for an office that has already had a substantial leadership depletion," he says.
Commenting on her new job, Peters says she will continue to work on matters pertaining to privacy, security, HIPAA and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act. "I've spent so many years in enforcement - I'll be on the other side, working with entities," including organizations dealing with privacy and security issues, she says. "I'm eager to be on the other side to help," she says.
In her new role, Peters will be working with two other former OCR colleagues who left the agency several years ago, she notes.
Interim Replacement
In a statement provided to ISMG, OCR confirms that Tim Noonan has been named the new acting deputy director for health information privacy. Prior to this appointment, Noonan was OCR's southeast regional manager for the past four years, and more recently was serving as the acting associate deputy director for regional operations and the acting director for centralized case management operations in OCR's headquarters.
"Tim brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this position having developed the southeast region's health information privacy outreach and enforcement program, and collaborating with OCR's HIP team in his multiple positions over the years," the statement says.
Enforcement Work
Peters notes that OCR has been busy with enforcement work, including recently issued guidance related to the 21st Century Cures Act, as well as two recent multimillion-dollar HIPAA settlements.
Those settlements include a $3.5 million agreement with Waltham, Mass.-based Fresenius Medical Care North America in late January in a case involving five smaller breaches. And in December, a federal bankruptcy court approved a $2.3 million settlement between OCR and bankrupt cancer care clinic chain, 21st Century Oncology pertaining to a 2015 cyberattack that impacted 2.2 million individuals. The payment was to be made by 21st Century Oncology's cyber insurer, Beazley Group.
Both of those settlements related to breaches reported to OCR several years ago. But Peters stresses that OCR has a pipeline of other active investigations, and she notes that cases that are considered for enforcement action take many years to develop.
OCR chooses such cases carefully, she says. "HHS is risk-averse. Every case OCR takes to settlement was also considered [as a] civil monetary penalty case. It takes years for OCR [to collect] evidence to bring to an [HHS] administrative law judge" to pursue a HIPAA enforcement case, she says.
Peters admits, however, that like many other federal agencies, including other HHS divisions, OCR's resources are stretched. For instance, the 21st Century Cures Act signed into law in late 2016 "asked OCR to do a lot," but budget appropriations haven't been approved for the agency to work on certain provisions, she acknowledges.
Peters notes that OCR Director Roger Severino, like many of his predecessors, including the Obama administration's Jocelyn Samuels and Leon Rodriguez, came to the agency as an attorney with civil rights expertise, but not a background in HIPAA.
"As with any administration or change, a new director need time to get up to speed," she says.
Impact of Departure
Although Peters contends that OCR isn't in the midst of a HIPAA expert exodus, Nahra, the privacy attorney, says her exit will, nevertheless, sting the agency.
"While there is very qualified and experienced staff still there, it is not at all clear where the leadership on HIPAA issues will be coming from, Nahra says. "The new director [Severino] does not have significant HIPAA experience - neither did his predecessor - but he also seems focused on other non-HIPAA activities in the office."
Transition is normal in a new administration, Nahra acknowledges. "But this is now both past the typical transition period and showing more signs of potential disarray or, at a minimum, a leadership vacuum. OCR has often been a model enforcement agency - good for both consumers/patients and the regulated industry, which is very rare - but its direction at this point is very unclear. "
Still, healthcare entities shouldn't read the recent shakeup in HIPAA leadership at OCR as an invitation to slack off on their duties to protect patient data, Nahra warns.
"For covered entities and business associates, this leadership vacuum - even if it means less enforcement in the short term - should not be taken as an excuse to ignore HIPAA," he says.
"OCR enforcement - even at its most aggressive - always has lagged behind many other consequences of bad privacy and security activities - lawsuits, state enforcement, business problems and bad publicity," he says. "Companies may need to be even more vigilant in their activities since these other risks are growing and typically have an impact more quickly than OCR enforcement."
Team Still in Place
Privacy attorney David Holtzman - a former OCR senior adviser who is now vice president of compliance at security consultancy CynergisTek, says Peters will be missed by OCR both for her "institutional memory and her leadership" of the health information privacy division.
But despite Peters departure from OCR headquarters Holtzman says, "it is important to remember that much of the decision making and investigative work for enforcement of the HIPAA rules is led by OCR's regional offices. And, there is a team of career professionals in place that are passionate in their work to ensure the HIPAA rules continue to provide meaningful protections for consumers and to pursue appropriate enforcement actions when there is evidence that an organization is not in compliance."
Peters' successor, Noonan, has been with OCR for more than five years, and previously served in the Department of Education, Office of Civil Rights, Holtzman notes.
In the meantime, Holtzman warns against "draw parallels" between the departure of McGraw and Peters.
"Keep in mind that both were in civil service positions and that the selection and work of these professionals are insulated from the winds of political change," he notes. "Perhaps the perception 'brain drain' from OCR is because the health information privacy team has an outsize role in policy and enforcement because of the small size of the group as well as the influence they wield through the respect they garner in the healthcare industry."

The love I have for Jimi Hendrix's music goes back to the summer of my middle school years when I pleaded with my mother to buy "Are You Experienced." And so, before I had that album all to myself, I'd relentlessly call the top 40 radio station and pester the DJ to play "Foxy Lady." I didn't know at the time but the song wasn't a 45 single and that the station only played 45 singles. The DJ could've said, "hey stupid kid, I just can't play Jimi Hendrix, I have to play the songs they tell me to play which are the well-known hits of The Animals, The Turtles, and the Supremes." And I would have understood. I forgot all that when my mother unexpectedly bought the album for me. I first studied the photographs of the band on both sides of the album. They are contrasting photos: the fiery psychedelic fish-eyed lens photo on the front, and the close-up, back-lit, black/white photo on the back cover. Looking at Jimi Hendrix: his wild hair, his multi-colored shirt with the eyes and feathers, his large claw-like hands, and his confident expression, he struck me as someone primitive, bold, and entirely different from anybody else at the time, yet more advanced. I mean, a dynamic person who is in touch with himself on a deep level, his feeling, and what he can do with a guitar. Through the years, my impressions of him haven't changed.
Now, in contrast to what I know about his musical history, it's interesting to read about his younger army days through the cold hard facts of his discharge papers which were recently published. Even back then, I couldn't picture Hendrix as a straight army paratrooper who was rumored discharged with a "back injury." Basically, the papers say Hendrix was dishonorably discharged because he was an incompetent soldier. He had a simple job as a repair supply clerk, yet he could barely serve this function. Among other army issues, the papers state that he "wonders off without a pass, pays little attention, unable to carry on an intelligent conversation, requires excessive supervision at all times, couldn't shoot straight, has a large laundry bill, and was caught masturbating in the latrine while on detail" (the soldier looked over the stall to see if Hendrix was asleep). Hendrix's service record goes on to read like a Beetle Bailey cartoon strip, which only adds a provocative layer to his image.
As a guitar player, what couldn't he do? Besides restringing for the left hand, he invented a style of playing where he would play the low E with his thumb wrapped around the neck. Hendrix used the microphone stand as a slide, plucked the strings with his teeth, played behind his back or head, was kinetically fast, used feedback, backward tape effects, pedals, and he would often run his pick along the strings, etc. There are so many ways that he could play, but he used his technology of playing, through the format of the blues, to create modern rock. To further this, he built the Electric Lady Studio, and although he didn't do much there, a lot of other bands recorded there after his death. But my strong sense of Hendrix's guitar playing is that he used his techniques to create sonic textures. His virtuosity produced a rainbow of tone colors and textures that was inexhaustible and always surprising in their effects. In "Love Or Confusion," the bending G chord slides into a tremolo bar octave note. This is an astonishing passage because it's ambiguous as to whether there are two guitars playing, or just Hendrix alone playing a trick of virtuosity. Hendrix had a perfect sense of pitch. However, he was insecure about his singing voice and he supported it with his guitar. This only served his voice and gave it an alien metallic quality. Here again in "Love Or Confusion," his flat, reverb treated, vocals have a detached quality within an electric storm of tremolo bar and feed back. Hendrix also had a keen sense of the leading tone in the blues and pentatonic modalities. His guitar playing was intuitive to where the leading tone could go and its implications. He knew the blues conventions so well from jamming during his early experiences as a sideman with the Isley Brothers and Little Richard, that he could later recast the blues constituents into something else. "May This Be Love," is shocking in its juxtaposition to the blues. But within the electric waterfall of cymbals splashing and guitar glissandos, the lyrics are blues subject matter as he rejects scoffers for his unique vision of love.
If you look at the back cover of Hendrix's "Smash Hits," you will see the band dressed as western bandits. No doubt Hendrix had an air of bravado. But behind his outer hippie love appearance and aura, he was out to prove that he was the world's greatest guitar player. When Chas Chandler, now Jimi's manager and member of the Animals, brought him to England in the sixties, Jimi was dropped into London's hot bed of competing guitar gunslingers, that being: Clapton, Townshend, Beck, and Page. There is a well-known anecdote where Townshend and Clapton have a worried conversation that this new guy in town will threaten to out shine them and replace them as a guitar god. There is a high level of pride in playing rock guitar – that it is a gunslinger's arena. Chops are guarded, and they can make or break a guitarist. Hendrix loved to shoot down other guitarists or musicians during jams. On "Voodoo Child," he musically urges Steve Windwood into an exchange between organ and guitar. Hendrix just out plays him, he never had a chance. Hendrix makes a tepid appearance on Stephen Stills' solo album. On "Old Times Good Times," Stills' aggressive organ playing (not his guitar?) obviously wanted to dominate and push Hendrix into a corner. But during his solo, Jimi noodles around as if to say that he is just sitting in – no big deal. Stills' incredible ego makes this song one of rock's many disappointments. But the collaboration of a few songs between Arthur Lee and Hendrix are terrific and just as obscure. They were recently released on the album"Love Lost." Lee claims in his autobiography that he discovered Jimi Hendrix, and that Hendrix stole his look off of the cover of Da Capo. They were close friends and looked a lot alike, but when Hendrix stole Lee's girlfriend, that was the final straw of their friendship.
Over the course of the first three albums, Hendrix never seemed loyal to his band, "The Experience." As described in Mitch Mitchell's book, rather than rehearsing with them, Jimi was always off jamming with other musicians. It was as though he wanted the adoration of other musicians as a free-wheeling sideman, but not the spotlight. Hendrix then brought in his old army buddy Billy Cox, and Buddy Miles, on "Electric Ladyland." This "jam" on "Electric Ladyland" then turned into the live "Band Of Gypsys" album which was a longer jam. The band was short-lived, and it seemed at the time Hendrix succumbed to the pressures of race issues. He did that by forming an all black band (Band Of Gypsys), and writing songs against the war. It's ironic that Arthur Lee did the same thing with his "Black Love" band later. With the Band Of Gypsys, Hendrix reverted to conventional blues and never returned to his flowery, psychedelic, and plasticized music of the "Experience." I still view the earlier as his most lasting and indigestible material, and the latter, his most direct and popular. With his first three albums, there is a promise of transcendence; they create that transformation. In "1983…(A Merman I Should Turn To Be)" through "Moon, Turn The Tides…gently gently away," there is a musical march to the sea. To breathe underwater among the bobbing sonic buoys is a promise of transformation of physical and spiritual self. Like "Third Stone From The Sun," "Moon, Turn The Tides" is eclectic music from another world.
Hendrix was a magical figure in Rock; a figure who crossed musical boundaries and transformed himself at a time of intense pressures. He was autonomous. With his style deeply established and popular, there was really nothing else for him to prove. At that point, he could have gone back to experimentation; he already created a new territory that younger bands became involved with. Hendrix probably understood the implications that a new direction beyond the blues or even rock was to be explored. Sadly, Hendrix never saw this great legacy and posterity play out with time. He was taken from us too early to give us an answer.

World's Oldest Well Preserved in a Solution of Sugar
The world's oldest well unearthed by archaeologists near Ostrov in the Chrudim area, Pardubice Region when doing construction works for the D35 motorway is far from resembling a source of water now. It has been disassembled into five parts which have been immersed – rather unusually – into sugar in plastic basins.
The restoration specialists have used something as simple as crystal sugar to preserve a 7000-old oak well. With no additives, crystal sugar works the best. A total of seven hundred one-kilo packets of sugar have been poured into 700 litres of water.
The wood is soaked with the solution of sugar. "At the moment, the well is undergoing impregnation. Each of the parts was cleaned and immersed in the solution of sacharosis," says Karol Bayer, Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Restoration.
A combination of dark basement room, low temperature and high humidity creates perfect conditions for the well. It is not easy to preserve the wooden parts soaked with water. Unlike with standard wood, the oak components must be prevented from fully drying. If they dried, they would get deformed, and in fact destroyed.
"The preservation aims not only to solidify the well, but also to replace the water in the wood. As the wood dries, the sugar will do the job, which helps us preserve the well," says Bayer.
For a long time, the restoration specialists have been been considering various options to treat and preserve the well, so that it could be displayed in the Museum of East Bohemia in Pardubice. "Never before have we have used sugar for preservation. That is why we discussed this option with specialists on wood preservation from the University of Chemistry and Technology Prague. The method used is the most convenient and least damaging one. Thanks to the method, the well will also preserve its original appearance," says Bayer.
At first sight, the 7000-year-old wood was in good, but fragile condition. "If you think of how old it is, the condition of the wood is very good; it is, however, broken, so we must be extremely careful when handling it," adds Bayer. The Neolithic people must have had some previous experience since the oak wood used is very durable and has good resistance. "This may explain why the well is in such a good condition," says Bayer.
The technology used came as a surprise for the specialists
The restoration specialists were surprised at the quality of the woodworking. The structure of the well consists of grooved corner posts with inserted planks. The well is interesting also from the woodworking point of view.
"Up to now we have thought that when the first farmers came to our territory, they used rudimentary methods. The well reveals, however, that they brought with them a complete set of carpentry tools," says Petr Juřina, manager of Archaia, a company that cooperated with Olomouc archeologists on the excavations for the D35 motorway. "If you imagine that we are talking about a period seven thousand years ago, it is very well carved," says Marek Laška, a restoration student who is responsible for the well now. He makes sure that the wooden parts are fully immersed in the solution and that no microorganisms that may interfere with the preservation process get inside. The components will be immersed in the solution until November. Then they will be removed and will be drying for a few months. The well will not receive any further varnish or protective coating. Once this is over, it will be displayed in the Museum of East Bohemia in Pardubice.

I was SO excited when I finally purchased my Muji acrylic organizer. It was clear, lovely, organizer perfection. But form follows function, and so far, there's no function to my shelving at all! So I looked over my stash to see the products that I use the most, and I put them all in one easy to get to location. Truth be told, I won't have a makeup room/ office once the baby gets here, so I needed to consolidate so I could move a small section of my makeup into our already overcrowded bedroom. Check out the videos and pictures below to see what's inside!
Continue reading to see photos of my stash!
This drawer includes most of my eye products. Everything for eye shadow, brows and lashes are here. I have to say that I love the Line Stiletto liquid liner way more than the precise felt tip liner, but the Line Stiletto is getting much harder to find. I'm praying that it doesn't get discontinued!!
This is a mix of face powders, a few concealers and some products to add a touch of glow. I use all of these products non-stop.
Here are a few odds and ends, eye shadow bases, matte primer, a Multiple, foundation stick, shimmer powder. I probably use the Color Tatoo least of all, so maybe I'll archive that too.

Why is a Cello not like a Toaster Oven?
That is because a cello is not anything at all even remotely like a toaster oven – not in the least! That should be very obvious but you would be surprised how often people miss the distinction. We live in a world that wants to quantify everything. If you are an analytical person or just a conscientious buyer and you want a toaster oven first you will research to find out what the best brand and model is in your price range. This should not be too hard because there will only be a few major makers. You will check customer reviews of that model and then you will comparison shop to find the best prices locally. The reputation of the store you buy from will also be important to you but you know that model Q of brand X is going to be exactly the same no matter where you buy it. That is because you are looking at a modern manufactured appliance made of uniform homogeneous materials, assembled primarily by robots and by the most modern manufacturing methods in huge factories. This is the same for stereos, blenders, plasma TVs, refrigerators, etc. The modern assembly line has given us a very high standard of living.
Unfortunately, you cannot choose acoustic musical instruments the same way you can an appliance. First, stringed instruments like violins, violas, cellos and upright basses are made of organic materials – primarily woods – that are not uniform and homogeneous. Every piece of wood is different. Second, although many student instruments are made in factories they are still primarily made by hand and most factories and shops are small. Thirdly, the set-up by a local shop is extremely important and can make the difference between a satisfying instrument and one that is a true nightmare. Let me digress here to a personal story.
When I was about thirteen I decided that I wanted to learn how to play the guitar. My mother had a guitar and as far as I knew they were all the same. I took a little time and attempted to play hers but it was just too difficult and very hard on my fingers. I gave up and did not revisit the instrument for five years. I later learned that she had a terrible instrument with a bowed neck, heavy strings and an action between the fret board and the strings that was high enough to slice bread with. Only a true martyr with fingers of steel could have learned that instrument but I didn't know that. One of the little secrets of our industry is that a reputable small local shop will nearly always do a good set-up on the instruments they sell (I take up to two hours on each instrument) and Internet discounters almost never do and most student level acoustic instruments these days are not remotely ready to play out of the box. A local shop will also cull out any instruments that do not meet their minimum standards and ship them back to the manufacturer. Most Internet re-sellers don't even open the box. Most true violin shops stand behind every instrument they sell and offer lifetime trade-ups. I have lost track of how many horror stories that I have heard about instruments that were bought on the Internet. Also, most Internet-only shops will never upgrade strings or even suggest the best upgrades for a given instrument.
By now your hypocrisy alarm is probably going off because Allegro Violin and Music does a reasonable amount of Internet business but we are a local shop and over 80% of our business is local. We have the same standards for local and Internet instruments and we do our full set-up on each one.
People will sometimes ask me what the difference is between two instruments where one is quite a bit more expensive than the other. Then, to answer their own question, they will often suggest, "Is it the quality of the wood?" The answer is that, yes, it could be the quality and aging of the woods but it could also be a hundred other subtle difference that are as much art and expertise as they are science. I have also sensed frustration from customers who try to quantify the best brands and models for a given price range and find themselves in a labyrinth with a multitude of different brands and models to choose from. Here again, a trustworthy shop can steer you to the best values in a given price range. This can vary over time. One year, one brand may offer the best value and then a couple years later it may be a different manufacturer. This is why I attend the national trade shows and also keep my ear to the ground. This is also why all of our instruments come with a lifetime trade-up. The instrument that works well for you or your child now may not be appropriate in three years.
The acoustic musical instrument market is one of the few places where bigger is not necessarily better. I have worked in this industry for many years in my own shop and others and I have seen large companies try to sell acoustic instruments the same way that big box stores try to sell appliances. It might work for a toaster oven or even a guitar pedal – it does not work for a cello.

Gareth Henry hit the international headlines in his native Jamaica four years ago when he was beaten by policemen in front of a mob of 200 people who cornered him in a Kingston pharmacy.
A year later, in 2008, the head of the Jamaica Forum for Lesbians, All Sexuals and Gays (J-Flag), fled to Canada following a series of death threats. He was granted asylum.
The 35-year-old gay rights activist and social worker is now one of two co-petitioners bringing the legal challenge against his former homeland at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
"I was with J-Flag for four years," Henry explained on a trip to London this month. "During that time 13 of my friends were killed." He identified several of the bodies. "I took on the leadership of the organisation after the former leader, Brian Williamson, was stabbed to death in a homophobic attack in 2004."
On three occasions, Henry said, he suffered violence at the hands of police officers. The most notorious incident was on Valentine's Day, 2007, when a group of gay men were chased into the Monarch pharmacy in Kingston by a large mob. Henry was with them.
According to his statement to the commission, the police were called but were abusive when they arrived. One officer asked if he was a "batty man" and then all four policemen began beating him with their guns.
He subsequently complained to the Jamaican ministry of justice. "I met politicians and officials. I expressed concern about my safety and the fact that I was being targeted by the police. They didn't respond. The harassment from the police increased," he said.
"When I woke up on the morning there would be a police officer outside my window, saying they were going to kill me. I used to help house gay men who were homeless – primarily because family members had turned their backs on them. Some of these people were dying from HIV/Aids.
"If you are homeless and have no family support and are dying from HIV you have a sense of hopelessness. Even these people became a target for attacks.
"We documented the threats on my life. After the incident in February 2007, that made international headlines, we thought that would make some changes. But I had to go and live in hiding.
"When he said that to me, I suddenly realised I was the next target. So I had to make a decision between running away and trying to find a safe place in a foreign land or staying and being killed.
"I was able to get out just in time but there are many other young men who are faced with the same threats and are not able to leave home and find a safe haven.
"Now I want to hold the Jamaican government accountable. A large proportion of the gay community in Jamaica is homeless and living in poverty and being ravished by HIV. Living with no hope and facing humiliation.
"Those people go through each day trying to survive, being anxious about homophobia and wondering whether they will be the next victim. There's no safe place in this country. We have exhausted all the possible options in terms of negotiations and meetings with the police.
"Why would a sane person chose to be a homosexual? Why would you chose death over life? It's clearly a human rights violation and it's time for radical action. We are calling on the international community to help save the gay community in Kingston."


Safety is paramount when operating a forklift, and while there are numerous health and safety regulations in place to ensure proper and secure use of machinery, there are plenty of ways you can make sure you're safe around the workplace. Here are some important things to remember every time you use a forklift. You should check these every time you use a forklift, first starting with your personal equipment, before the forklift itself, the route, the load, and additional steps when completing your shift.
Firstly, you'll want to make sure you're wearing appropriate clothing. In most workplaces, this includes a high visibility jacket, a hard hat and safety shoes. It is also important to make sure that all clothing is well-fitted without any loose items such as ties.
Before using the forklift for work, a routine check should take place upon starting up. The brakes, steering, controls, warning devices and tyres should all be tested to make sure they are in working order before attempting any job. The seat of the forklift should be adjusted to make sure the operator can access all of the controls easily, and the safety belt should be fastened.
The planned pick-up and drop-off of items should be known before starting the job. This means taking into account not only the easiest and clearest route through the designated pathways for the forklift, but where is most convenient and safest for other workers involved. The route should first be checked for potential hazards such as any uneven flooring or objects in the way.
The operator of the forklift should make sure the load is secure, after workers have taken care to make sure that the object has been packed properly. The loads must be evenly positioned across both forks, and the forks should be kept low while moving the object. Operators must not attempt to move any load if there are doubts about its security or stability.
After the job is done, the forklift should be parked in its designated area. The forks should be fully down and the park brake applied before the forklift is completely switched off. The forklift must also be completely switched off during refuelling. Once the forklift has been switched off, the keys must be removed and securely stored.


Life Through a Different Lens – Censor This!
Pablo with the climbing team in Antarctica.
Chin and Alex Honnold. As the illustrious group's cinematographer, he documented the trip over a couple of weeks in the harsh environment of Antarctica. For Pablo, the challenge of filming in such conditions was not new, as Pablo had filmed in Greenland a year prior, a trip that acted as a training grounds for extreme conditions. He said, "It's sometimes hard because I find myself so focused on what I'm that supposed to film, I would forget to bring certain things. Being aware of environment was hardest thing for me".
While the team spent their time tackling various routes, Pablo documented the trip and the beauty Antarctica holds. Scrambling up climbs, capturing these climbers making history, Pablo had no time to rest. The team took on multiple ascents, separated into three two-person teams. The first team, a female super-team was comprised of Anna Pfaff and Savannah Cummins, the first all-female team to climb in Antarctica. The second team, probably the fastest, including Cedar Wright and Alex Honnold, used a new-school style of climbing called simul-climbing where both climb at the same time. This is faster than the standard way to climb but increases the risk. The third team, Jimmy Chin and Conrad Anker, climbed the largest peak in the range, the Northwest buttress of Ulvetanna. And the fourth team was the one-man show, Pablo Durana, who documented this whole undertaking by himself, in addition to the teams filming themselves here and there.
Pablo worked as hard (if not harder?) than the other team members. His own climbs consisted of the arduous task of getting into place to film for the documentary. And while he didn't have the celebrity of the other members of the team—Pablo is profoundly humble–it is clear he had earned his stripes as an equal member of the expedition. As Pablo put it when asked if he would want to be the spotlight athlete, "No. I don't think that's for me…I think Alex and Cedar have a good way of talking, a good way of expressing themselves. I'm not really as into that." Pablo was content with filming and being the man behind the lense, his passion, and that's all he needed. Antarctica is only one of many, many amazing documentaries Pablo has worked on, this one just as amazing as any of the others such as north of known, Joyrider, Ascend Afghanistan, Life According to Sam, Oscar-winning Inocente and the list goes on.
So the real question is Who is this Pablo guy? From my interviews with him I learned about why he films, what inspires him, what he's learned from his work and what he's proud of. Pablo has worked on many different types of documentaries. The most notable documentaries he has worked on are Inocente (which won an Oscar for best documentary, short subject in 2013), Life According to Sam, Into Twin Galaxies (featuring Greenland) among others. Pablo has worked on all of these documentaries, some optimistic, some darker than others, and he has taken something away from each of them.
So what gets him out of bed each morning to film? The answer is not as simple as "Because it's my job." Pablo is extremely passionate about what he films. He is passionate about documenting subjects that inspire and have an impact. For example, Life According to Sam, a documentary about a boy with the extremely rare and debilitating disease progeria, shows awe-inspiring resilience during a time of hardship. This film deeply impacted Pablo: " I look at Sam, and he's easily one of the most influential people I know in my life…. He knew he was going to die soon, but was genuinely happy. He never complained, and it basically helped put things in perspective for me." Sam himself said of life, "I don't focus on what I can't do, but rather on what I can do [and] being brave isn't supposed to be easy, but it's the key to moving forward." Pablo's hope is to spread uplifting messages and he was doing just that with his sensitive portrayal of Sam's story.
With a job like Pablo's there is always a steep learning curve and profound lessons along the way. Pablo, who has filmed all over the world in many dangerous situations, said that the most important thing he has learned is appreciation. "The biggest thing that comes out of all these experiences is just appreciation," he said. "There are a lot of places I've been to and been filming that were dangerous, but after, I got to go home while the people we were filming were stuck in the same environment." Pablo sees things most people never do, and he has the privilege of sharing them to inform others.
This drive to make something impactful and to do it at the highest achievable level accompanied by passion is something Pablo exemplifies through all things he works on. That is who I see Pablo Durana to be. More than a freelance cinematographer, Pablo Durana embodies The Passionate.

Noted for her versatility and acknowledged as one of the finest actresses in Hindi cinema, Rekha started her career in 1966 as a child actress in the Telugu film Rangula Ratnam, though her film debut as a lead happened four years later with Sawan Bhadon. Despite the success of several of her early films, she was often panned for her looks and it was not until the mid-to-late 1970s that she got recognition as an actress. Rekha has acted in over 180 films in a career spanning over 40 years. Throughout her career, she has often played strong female characters and, apart from mainstream cinema, appeared in arthouse films, known in India as parallel cinema. She has won three Filmfare Awards, two for Best Actress and one for Best Supporting Actress, for her roles in Khubsoorat (1980), Khoon Bhari Maang (1988) and Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi (1996), respectively. Her portrayal of a classical courtesan in Umrao Jaan (1981) won her the National Film Award for Best Actress. Though her career has gone through certain periods of decline, she has reinvented herself numerous times and has been credited for her ability to sustain her status. In 2010, she was honoured with the Padma Shri by the Government of India. Rekha was born in Chennai (then Madras) to Tamil actor Gemini Ganesan and Telugu actress Pushpavalli. Her father enjoyed considerable success as an actor and Rekha was to follow in his footsteps. She is an alumnus of the popular Church Park Convent in Chennai. She considers Telugu to be her mother tongue. She also speaks Hindi, Tamil and English fluently. Her parents were not married at the time of her birth, and her father did not acknowledge his paternity during her childhood. Rekha has one real sister,one half brother and five half sisters. It was in early 1970s, when she was looking for a footing in Bollywood, that she revealed her origins. Later, at the peak of her career, Rekha told a magazine interviewer that father's neglect still rankled and that she had ignored his efforts at reconciliation. Rekha quit school to start a career in acting. She did not have any personal aspirations in this direction, but the troubled financial state of her family compelled her to do so. In 2011, Rediff listed her as the ninth-greatest Indian actress of all time, noting, "It's hard not to be bowled over by Rekha's longevity, or her ability to reinvent herself... the actress took on a man's job and did it stunningly well, holding her own against all the top actors and being remembered despite them." Filmfare described her acting style, writing, "...when it comes to style, sexiness or sheer onscreen presence, she's unparalleled... [she is] a fierce, raw, flinty performer with unbridled honesty. Her acting isn't gimmicky." Critic Khalid Mohamed commends her technical control: "She knows how to give and to what degree. She has all that it takes to be a director. There is a kind of vulnerability in her control.

Due to the unprecedented popularity and public acceptable garnered by cryptocurrency, launching a cryptocurrency exchange has become the best way to make quick and easy money. However, in their haste to open an exchange at the earliest, companies have not paid enough attention at the provision of secure and safe trading environment, which is why traders are suffering from all sorts of security glitches off and on.
Italy based cryptocurrency exchange BitGrail that was rebranded into Nano (XRB) used to be one of the biggest trading hubs for the RaiBlocks cryptocurrency but recently it has been witnessing a downtime due to its unreliable cyber-security measures. Reportedly, the exchange has become a victim of a hack attack, which further highlighted the underlying issues affecting the cyber-security area of the BitGrail exchange.
A post on the BitGrail website revealed that the company ran a security check after which it discovered unauthorized transactions resulting in a shortfall of 17 million Nano, which is approx. $160 million as per the latest exchange rates and it is speculated that hackers might have managed to get $595 million because BitGrail has admitted that high amount of cryptocurrency is missing.
The cryptocurrency operations of the company have currently been stalled and the authorities have contacted the police to investigate the matter. BitGrail has also claimed that there weren't any other cryptocurrency involved in the hack still all the activities including deposits and withdrawals have been suspended temporarily and the company has released a statement on its website offering "full and sincerest apologies" to its customers.

The industrial sector returned to growth in 2018, with production, exports and investment growing substantially after four years of contraction. Improvements have come largely through the expansion of manufacturing, including the production of a range of higher-value-added products, along with processed fish and agro-industrial goods. In order to sustain and expand this development, the government is pursuing a number of programmes emphasising the diversification of exports, coupled with domestic policies to improve competitiveness. The retail sector has lead growth in the Latin American market in recent years, driven by the expansion of shopping malls, promotions and discount prices at supermarkets and pharmacies, and an expanding consumer base. The sector is expanding and strengthening its various formats whether that is through increasing store-based retailing or e-commerce, while stakeholders are work to take advantage of the growing middle-class consumer base. This chapter contains an interview with Toshiro Hayashi, CEO, Toyota del Perú.

While Peru offers a range of industrial parks, their competitiveness has been hindered by a lack of accompanying legislation and overall strategy.

E-commerce evolution: Online shopping is set to keep growing in emerging markets, despite some cultural and logistical challenges
E-commerce is well established in developed markets, where the majority of people make at least occasional purchases online.

Nevertheless, online sales are growing rapidly in developing economies, with local governments deploying measures aimed at boosting activity.

Project Gallery > Scottsdale Fashion Square
The expansion of the Scottsdale Fashion Square was an enormous project with a contract value of $40M to add nearly half a million square feet to the complex. The expansion centered around a planning solution to bring the center physically closer to historic Scottsdale. By crossing Camelback Road with a carefully designed overhead pedestrian connection, Fashion Square engages the city rather than keeping the center as an "island." Also, recognizing the draw of Arizona's desert resort lifestyle, the center celebrates the style of Scottsdale's great resort hotels with elements like inviting lobbies and a formal porte cochere.
The project consisted of the major expansion of the mall and parking to include two new department stores, three multi-level parking garages with a retail and vehicular bridge across Camelback Road. Extensive survey was required for design purposes. Design of Camelback Road and Goldwater Boulevard was similarly required. Street and utility improvements were required, as well as extensive on-site design of storm drainage and utilities. Scottsdale Fashion Square stands far apart from its counterparts as a model of design and integration within the character of the area.

new single "Alright," which is now available on all digital retailers. Stand On My Own is available for pre-order here, where fans can download "Alright."
as another taste of new music, the hard-driving single, "Alright"
showcases Cardwell's powerful four-octave voice, which has turned heads
since getting his start performing regionally with The Cardwell Family
in the Show-Me State. The fast paced song was heavily inspired by the
singer's humble upbringing, which included stops at venues and Bluegrass
festivals throughout the 70s and 80s, along with performing as a member
of New Tradition in the 90s. "Alright" was written by Cardwell and
features a feel-good message about love and its journey.
his start as a songwriter, the prolific musician has collaborated with
some of the biggest artists across multiple genres, spanning from
Bluegrass to Folk to Americana and beyond. That musicianship is on full
display on Stand On My Own, with the Missouri native
penning nine of the tracks. As indicated on the project's lead single,
"Time To Drive," Cardwell's music has staying power, with the song
spending an impressive 37 consecutive weeks on the Bluegrass Today
Grassicana Chart, where it hit No. 1 on seven different occasions.
album highlights include the song "Hurricane Rain," which was
co-written by award-winning radio personality Terry Herd, and features
thought-provoking lyrics. Another key moment is the waltz-inspired track
"Movin' On" which was co-written with Danny Roberts of The Grascals.
Throughout the project, listeners will hear a combination of upbeat
songs, along with heartfelt ballads. Along with his touring band,
Tennessee Moon, is a list of who's who musicians, stepping in to play on
part of the album is New Grass Revival alumni Curtis Burch and Pat
Flynn, marking the first time the dynamic pair have teamed up together. Stand On My Own serves as the follow-up to the 2017 debut album Tennessee Moon.

is an excellent way to begin a U.S. history course, but students should be reminded that, while some presidents might be considered great, they usually also had to rely on a supportive nation, legislature and judiciary.
Lesson 2 asks the question "How did California's constitution and laws reflect the values of the political majority?" Students will analyze and read a variety of primary source images and statements, and will then predict how the constitution and laws would respond to questions about slavery and the rights of minorities. Some of the students will read material about what people said and did in early (post-Rancho) California that will be totally new to them. Because information about how California (and other states) treated minority populations is not usually found in U.S. history books or included in the fourth-grade California history curriculum, a large number of activities, images and source readings are included. The teacher can select and use any or all, depending on time constraints.
Lesson 3 helps the student to realize that California has had a long history of cultural and ethnic diversity, conflict and cooperation, and that California laws, like those of any other society, reflected the values of the political majority. The influence of unchecked majority rule, however, is sometimes tempered by respect for the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and students should recognize such incidents. Other Californians acted on behalf of minorities because they cared about justice and fairness for all, and students should appreciate this time-honored practice, which many Americans still support today.
Students will find a number of similarities between early California and contemporary California. The readings and worksheet for Lesson 3, "Law and Order in California," give examples of prejudice and intolerance, but they also document compassion and empathy. Some students will recognize a practice that foreigners observed as peculiar to Americansthe impulse to organize and to establish some sort of sociopolitical order before anarchy prevails. Students also will identify factors that encourage "civilized" societies, and those that permit lawlessness or extralegal behaviors to emerge, elements that they might recognize even today.
Lesson 4 calls for the use of resources already available in the classroom and the school library, because U.S. history textbooks and other available resources generally cover the Compromise of 1850 fairly well. However, the significant role that California played at this time is sometimes overlooked. Therefore, this lesson is designed to provide a different perspective on the Compromise of 1850. It emphasizes California's pivotal role during this crucial moment in our nation's history.
Gold Mines of California is an optional map activity that will give students an idea of the physical geography of the region and further insight into the diverse population of miners. A magnifying glass might be of help in reading the place names.

Reporter Shannel Pearman joined WMAR-2 News in May 2017. She's so happy to call Maryland her new home. You can see her on Good Morning Maryland.
I am most proud of getting to go out into the community everyday and meeting new people! I love having the opportunity to tell their stories!
I'm originally from Queens, New York and I'm so proud of my family's roots in Guyana, South America. That'll explain my love for warm temperatures, dancing and reggae music!
I absolutely love traveling, watching sports and of course date nights with my husband!
What do you love about living in the Baltimore area?
I love being so close to family and friends, not to mention everything this area has to offer! There are some many delicious restaurants, amazing views and I enjoy being by the water. I also can't forget about the crabs! Can't get enough of them!
Anywhere with a view of the water!
My all-time favorite movie is Selena! I can recite all of the lines of the movie and I even know all of the dances! I can never finish the movie without crying!
If you ask my mom she'd tell you I was a drama queen. I think she's exaggerating, but we can both agree that I was a very happy and cheerful kid! I always had a smile on my face! Still do!
I admire my mom more than anyone! She is the strongest person I know! We talk at least twice a day. I honestly don't know where I would be in life if I didn't have her as a role model.
Where else have you worked and what was your oddest job?
I've traded in football sidelines for morning coffee! Most recently I was a sports reporter in Central Pennsylvania, however I've also worked in Salisbury, Maryland and Amarillo, Texas.
In terms of odd jobs, I've actually been very fortunate! I've had some pretty amazing jobs along the way, but for my very first job I was a camp counselor when I was 16! I spent that summer getting paid to have fun, play games and swim in a lake. At one point we even had a pudding slip 'n slide! It was an awesome experience!

The Harvard Lampoon ist eine US-amerikanische Satire-Zeitschrift, die von der Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, herausgegeben wird.

Sie wurde im Februar 1876 von dem Studenten John Tyler Wheelwright und sechs seiner Kommilitonen gegründet. Schon von der ersten Ausgabe wurden rund 1.200 Exemplare verkauft. Inhaltlich orientierte sich die Zeitung vor allem am britischen Satireblatt Punch.

Gegen Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts enthielt die Zeitschrift neben den üblichen Karikaturen und Witzen zunehmend auch sozial- und gesellschaftskritische Kommentare, die sich teilweise direkt gegen die Regierung und deren Politik richteten.

Seit dem Jahr 1946 wird der Lampoon, ursprünglich eine reine Studentenzeitung, landesweit verkauft, und erfreute sich bald großer Beliebtheit.

Mitte der 1960er Jahre begannen die Autoren damit, nach dem Vorbild des aufstrebenden MAD-Magazins, Film- und Fernsehparodien zu schreiben. Eine der bekanntesten ist bis heute die Der-Herr-der-Ringe (Lord-of-the-Rings)-Persiflage Bored of the Rings (wörtlich: 'Von den Ringen gelangweilt'), die in Deutschland unter dem Titel Herr der Augenringe veröffentlicht wurde.

Mit über 130 Jahren ist der Harvard Lampoon eine der langlebigsten humoristischen Publikationen der Welt. Autoren wie John Reed, William Randolph Hearst, George Plimpton, Fred Gwynne, John Updike und Conan O'Brien prägten mit ihren Texten die amerikanische Kultur. Zahlreiche Witze der Zeitschrift, wie "Have you taken a bath?" "No, is one missing?" ("Haben Sie ein Bad genommen?" "Nein, fehlt denn eins?") gelten mittlerweile als Klassiker.

Revolutionary emergency messenger and personal tracker allows users to summon help from virtually anywhere on the planet.
OUTDOOR RETAILER SUMMER MARKET (Booth #76003), SALT LAKE CITY, August 7, 2007 –SPOT Inc. today announced the introduction of the SPOT™ Satellite Messenger. The SPOT messenger gives consumers a vital line of communication, independently of cellular coverage, with emergency services, friends, and family. SPOT is a revolutionary product that is designed to raise the safety factor for hundreds of millions of people around the world.
"All of us have heard the news stories of people getting lost, stranded or worse in the mountains or remote areas beyond the range of their cellular phones and we've all ondered what would we do if caught in those same dangerous or potentially lifethreatening situations," said Darren Bassel, Director of Retail Marketing for SPOT Inc.
Weighing just over 7 ounces and priced at less than US $150, the SPOT Satellite Messenger provides consumers with the ability to send for emergency assistance in time SPOT Inc. Announces SPOT – The World's First Satellite Messenger of need; notify employers, friends or family of their status; and allows them to visually track the messenger's location and progress on a computer using Google Maps™ and the SPOT website. SPOT uses convenient, easy-to-replace AA size lithium batteries for complete portability and when powered on, has a standby battery life of approximately 12 months. SPOT floats and its rugged waterproof construction is engineered to withstand a wide variety of extreme environmental shock and temperature conditions.
SPOT is ideal for the growing market of outdoor enthusiasts, specifically when they are backpacking, camping, fishing, hiking, hunting, ice and rock climbing, skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing or participating in recreational maritime activities. Experian Simmon's Research estimates that the qualified outdoor enthusiast market alone exceeds 64 million consumers in the United States. SPOT is also ideal for those who need to notify others of their status after a natural or man-made disaster.
The National Association for Search and Rescue estimates more than 50,000 search and rescue missions are initiated each year in the United States alone. Many of these missions are undertaken without search and rescue knowing the exact location of the missing party. SPOT removes this unknown by providing GPS location coordinates that are accurate to within 20 feet.
SPOT can also be used for commercial lone worker safety applications for those businesses with employees operating in remote areas outside the range of cellular and other wireless communications. It is also a valuable safety tool for any person who drives their automobile outside of cellular coverage or for emergency messaging during natural disasters such as hurricanes or other situations when cellular or land-based communications may be damaged or unavailable.
The SPOT Satellite Messenger will be available to the public starting November 1, 2007 through retailers and through SPOT Inc.'s Web site, www.findmespot.com. The SPOT essenger will be available for $149 USD. Initially, service fees will be offered for at $99 USD. Later, monthly and multi-year options will be available. Optional features include automatic tracking service (SPOTcasting) and private rescue service for countries or regions with non-responsive emergency services.
SPOT works around the world, including virtually all of the continental United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe and Australia, portions of South America, Northern Africa and Northeastern Asia, and hundreds or thousands of miles offshore of these areas. SPOT uses the GPS satellite system to determine a user's location and the SPOT network to transmit that location and the user's status. The SPOT network features satellite technology with a proven 99.4% reliability while processing over 6 million messages a month – the equivalent of 2.3 messages per second.
Operating Temperature Range: -40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit.

The SPOT Satellite Messenger, the world's first satellite messenger, uses both the GPS satellite network to determine a customer's location and the SPOT network to transmit that information to friends, family or an emergency service center.
