SAN FRANCISCO Layla Rahimi was all set for the trip of her life. She booked a flight for two for a vacation in London and then a connecting flight onto Spain. She charged it to her American Express card and the company called to verify the charges. "So I said 'yes, it's me.' One of them is with Virgin Atlantic to London the other is with Iberia to Seville," she said. So she was all set, until she showed up the day of her flight. "Virgin Atlantic says I don't have a ticket. I was surprised. I was like what happened," she said. Virgin told her American Express never sent in the money, so her purchase was cancelled. she called american express, but the customer service rep told her nothing could be done without a manager, who wasn't there. "So at that point I had to make a decision. If I didn't go I would have lost the rest of my itinerary. All of my travel, the booking of the hotel, everything that I paid for already," Rahimi said. Tickets which she originally bought for $1,600 would now cost her more than $7,000. "I charged it, I didn't have the money. I was so sure that American Experess would know I had honestly called and this was their mistake," Rahimi said. She called American Express during her trip and after her trip. The company would not budge. "It was hard. I had panic attacks, I would wake up in the middle of the night thinking what if I had to pay $7,500? I don't have that kind of money," Rahimi said. SO Rahimi called 7 On Your Side. We contacted American Express and it reduced the charges for her flight back down to what she had originally paid. "Thanks to Michael Finney, I got my credit back to my card and at least my credit score is in tack and my credit history is intact. You know thank you very much for taking the time," she said. American Express declined an opportunity to comment on this case citing privacy concerns for the customer.

A graphic representation of the highest energy neutrino ever observed.
For B-roll of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the Amundsen-Scott South Pole station, contact Dena Headlee, dheadlee@nsf.gov / (703) 292-7739.
Researchers with the IceCube Collaboration have announced that a National Science Foundation (NSF)-built detector at the South Pole allowed them to observe 28 very high-energy neutrinos that constitute the first solid evidence for astrophysical neutrinos from cosmic accelerators.
"This is the first indication of high-energy neutrinos coming from outside our solar system," says Francis Halzen, principal investigator of IceCube and the Hilldale and Gregory Breit Distinguished Professor of Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "It is gratifying to finally see what we have been looking for. This is the dawn of a new age of astronomy."
Details of the research are in the Nov. 22 edition of the journal Science.
The IceCube Collaboration made the discovery using the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a particle detector buried in Antarctic ice at the U.S. Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. NSF built the detector using a Major Research Equipment and Facilities Construction (MREFC) award, with assistance from partner funding agencies around the world. Officials in NSF's Polar Programs and Physics divisions manage the observatory's operations, as well as the U.S. portion of the IceCube science research projects.
NSF's Division of Polar Programs has a presidential mandate to manage the U.S. Antarctic Program, through which it coordinates all U.S. research on the Southernmost continent and aboard ships in the Southern Ocean and provides all of the logistics needed to support that science.
"IceCube is a wonderful and unique astrophysical telescope. It is deployed deep in the Antarctic ice (from 1.4 to 2.4 km depth), but looks over the entire universe, detecting neutrinos coming through the Earth from the Northern skies, as well as from around the Southern skies," said Vladimir Papitashvili, Antarctic astrophysics and geospace science program director.
Added Jim Whitmore, program director on the particle astrophysics program, "The IceCube Neutrino Observatory has opened a new era in neutrino astrophysical observations. It is in the forefront of the entire field of neutrino astronomy, now delivering observations that have been long-awaited by both theorists and experimentalists."
Because they rarely interact with matter, neutrinos, nearly mass-less subatomic particles, can carry information about the workings of the highest-energy and most distant phenomena in the universe. Billions of neutrinos pass through the Earth every second, but the vast majority originate either in the sun, due to its internal thermonuclear process, or in Earth's atmosphere as a product of cosmic rays interacting with air molecules and ions.
Far rarer are neutrinos from the outer reaches of the Milky Way or beyond, which have long been theorized to provide insights into the powerful cosmic objects where high-energy cosmic rays may originate: supernovae, black holes, pulsars, active galactic nuclei and other extreme extragalactic phenomena.
IceCube, run by the international IceCube Collaboration and headquartered at the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center (WIPAC) at University of Wisconsin-Madison, was designed to accomplish two major scientific goals: measure the flux, or rate, of high-energy neutrinos and identify, if possible, their sources.
The analysis published in Science reveals the first high-energy neutrino flux ever observed--a highly statistically significant signal that meets expectations for neutrinos originating in cosmic accelerators.
"From hints in earlier research results by IceCube collaborators, we have used improved data-analysis methods and explored more data to make this significant step forward in our search for the elusive astrophysical signal," said collaboration spokesperson Olga Botner, of Uppsala University. "We are now working hard on improving the significance of our observation and on understanding what this signal means and where it comes from."
The 28 high-energy neutrinos were found in data collected by the IceCube detector from May 2010 to May 2012. The data could not be explained by other neutrino fluxes, such as those from atmospheric neutrinos, nor by other high-energy events, such as muons produced by the interaction of cosmic rays in the atmosphere.
Preliminary results of this analysis were presented May 15, 2013 at the IceCube Particle Astrophysics Symposium at the University of Wisconsin.
"Now that we have the full detector we have the sensitivity to see these events. After seeing hundreds of thousands of atmospheric neutrinos, we have finally found something different," Halzen explained. "We've been waiting for this for so long."
IceCube comprises 5,160 digital optical modules suspended along 86 strings embedded in a cubic kilometer of ice at the geographic South Pole, and an additional 344 IceTop modules, a complementary detector on the surface of the ice, needed to screen out events caused by cosmic rays' interaction with the Earth's atmosphere. The observatory detects neutrinos through tiny flashes of blue light, called Cherenkov light, produced when neutrinos interact in the ice.
The IceCube detector was completed in December 2010 after seven years of construction that only could be carried out during the very short Antarctic summer, a period of roughly 90 days. It was built on time and within budget, and in its first three years of performance has exceeded its design specifications.
"The success of IceCube builds on the efforts of hundreds of people around the world," noted Botner. "IceCube collaborators made it all happen--from the design and the deployment in a harsh environment, proving the feasibility of the concept, to data harvesting and physics analysis. All required concerted efforts that ultimately have led to the observations presented in this paper. Now the collaboration is addressing a further challenge: How to make IceCube a big contributor to astronomy."
The University of Wisconsin-Madison is the lead U.S. IceCube institution, and the international collaboration includes 250 physicists and engineers from the United States, Germany, Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland, Japan, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom.
IceCube is the world's largest neutrino detector.

Here are some highlights from the season.
This was one of the busiest, starriest and eclectic Broadway seasons in years, featuring productions and performances that will make it one to remember. Starting in October with The Seagull starring Kristin Scott Thomas and Peter Sarsgaard, through last night's Roundabout Theatre Company revival of Waiting for Godot starring Nathan Lane, Bill Irwin, John Goodman and John Glover, 43 productions have opened on Broadway, including 10 new musicals, nine new plays, four musical revivals, 16 play revivals and five "special events."
Fall kicked off with the Royal Court's acclaimed production of Chekhov's The Seagull directed Ian Rickson, examining the romantic entanglements and regrets of a group of artists gathered on a Russian estate.
Roundabout Theatre Company began autumn exploring politics, religion and power with Frank Langella in A Man for All Seasons directed by Doug Hughes, and wrapped up 2008 with Stockard Channing , Martha Plimpton and Matthew Risch in Pal Joey, directed by Joe Mantello. Ibsen's Hedda Gabler starring Mary Louise Parker rang in the new year at Roundabout, in an adaptation by Christopher Shinn.
Arthur Miller's All My Sons, asked audiences to reexamine the costs of war when it returned to Broadway this fall, directed by Simon McBurney and starring John Lithgow, Patrick Wilson, Dianne Wiest and Katie Holmes.
Snow fell early on Broadway when Irving Berlin's White Christmas, a new stage adaptation of the classic film, opened in November starring Stephen Bogardus, Kerry O'Malley, Jeffry Denman and Meredith Patterson, featuring direction by Tony Award winner Walter Bobbie and choreography by Randy Skinner.
The Great White Way saw green in December when Shrek The Musical landed at the Broadway Theatre starring Brian d'Arcy James as the loveable ogre and Sutton Foster as Princess Fiona. Also starring Daniel Breaker, Christopher Sieber and John Tartaglia, the new musical is directed by Jason Moore and written by David Lindsay Abaire (book & lyrics) and Jeanine Tesori (musical) with choreography by Josh Prince. Flying monks were spotted a few blocks south when Soul of Shaolin played a limited run at the Minskoff.
Manhattan Theatre Club opened their season with To Be Or Not to Be, directed by Casey Nicholaw and began the new year in the Catskill Mountains of the 1960s with Richard Greenberg's The American Plan starring Mercedes Ruehl and Lily Rabe. They wrapped up their season with Samuel Raphaelson's on-and-off stage love story, Accent on Youth starring David Hyde Pierce and directed by Daniel Sullivan.
This spring, Jane Fonda returned to Broadway after 46 years to confront an obsession with Beethoven and to settle with her on stage daughter played by Samantha Mathis in Moisés Kaufman's 33 Variations, alongside Colin Hanks and Zach Grenier. Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis, James Gandolfini and Marcia Gay Harden tried to make nice (and failed) in Yasmina Reza's comedy God of Carnage directed by Matthew Warchus. Jeremy Irons and Joan Allen returned to Broadway after long absences to star in Michael Jacobs' examination of art and love in Impressionism, directed by Tony Award-winner Jack O'Brien.
Fictitious monarchs Geoffrey Rush, Susan Sarandon, and Lauren Ambrose – and unappreciated servant Andrea Martin – added their regal presence to the Rialto in Eugene Ionesco's Exit the King under the direction of Broadway newcomer Neil Armfield. Historic British royalty was welcomed when Harriet Walter and Janet McTeer took to the stage in the Donmar Warehouse production of Mary Stuart, directed by Phyllida Lloyd. And The Norman Conquests, Alan Ayckbourn's trilogy, showcased a somewhat more middle class group of Brits, helmed by the busy Matthew Warchus.
Christopher Hampton's The Philanthropist , directed by David Grindley and starring Matthew Broderick and Steven Weber, looked at the empty, insular lives of college intellectuals. Appropriately closing the season is Samuel Beckett's historic Waiting for Godot starring Nathan Lane, Bill Irwin, John Goodman and John Glover, and directed by Anthony Page. It tells of two seemingly homeless men waiting for someone or something to explain life's meaning – which, of course, never shows up. Vladimir and Estragon might be relieved to know that as of yesterday, this year's season has arrived at its end.

ROBERT BOLT (Playwright). Robert Oxton Bolt was born in Sale in Manchester on 15 August 1924, the son of a shopkeeper. Early education at Manchester Grammar School was followed by a history degree at Manchester University. After serving in the Royal Air Force in World War II, Bolt qualified as a teacher and taught English in the prestigious private school Millfield between 1950 and 1958. It was here that, in his spare time, he wrote both radio and stage plays. Many of his radio plays received an airing and he also did some producing. In 1958, encouraged by the London success of his play The Flowering Cherry, he gave up teaching to concentrate full time on his writing. In 1960 he had two plays running in London, The Tiger and the Horse and A Man for All Seasons. The eponymous role of Sir Thomas More shot actor Paul Scofield to stardom, and A Man for All Seasons proved a huge hit both in London's West End and on Broadway where in 1962 it was voted Best Foreign Play of the Year. This success attracted the attention of Hollywood, and producer Sam Spiegel approached Bolt to revise Michael Wilson's script for Lawrence of Arabia. Directed by David Lean, it was Bolt's first successful screenplay and he received an Academy Award nomination for it. Bolt won his first Oscar for his next collaboration with Lean, Doctor Zhivago in 1963. In 1966 his screen adaptation of A Man for All Seasons won him a second Oscar. Meanwhile, on stage, Bolt produced Gentle Jack in 1963 and a play for children, The Thwarting of Baron Bolligrew at Christmas 1965. In 1970 another historical play, charting the relationship between Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I, Vivat! Vivat! Regina! played to full houses at the Chichester Festival and later enjoyed a long run in the West End. When it was transferred to Broadway two years later it was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play. Meanwhile, Bolt wrote the screenplay for two films starring his then wife, Sarah Miles; Ryan's Daughter in 1970 and the historical costume drama Lady Caroline Lamb in 1972. Sarah was both his second and fourth (last) wife; the first married in 1967, but divorced in 1976, then after a third marriage ended in divorce in 1985, Sarah and Bolt remarried in 1988. In 1972, Bolt was appointed a CBE. In 1976, David Lean approached Bolt with an idea to rework the story of the infamous Bounty mutiny and, for two years, he worked on this epic project, creating two versions. Before he could complete the second, however, Bolt suffered a massive heart attack in April 1979, followed by a stroke. His one completed script was made into the film The Bounty five years later in 1981, directed by Roger Donaldson. His final film script, for The Mission, was produced in 1986. Robert Bolt died on 12 February 1995 at the age of seventy.

The Grinch Meets Sir Thomas More
By STUART MILLER
LAST year, the director Doug Hughes took his nephew to see "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical" on Broadway. Mr. Hughes was simply looking for some holiday fun, but he rediscovered, beneath the Grinch's furry green costume, a fondly remembered Shakespearean actor.
Since coming to New York in 1993, Patrick Page has been known mostly for cartoonish roles, including more than three years as Lumiere in "Beauty and the Beast" and three more as Scar in "The Lion King." But in regional theater he is known as a Shakespearean leading man.
"I had met him years ago at Seattle Rep," Mr. Hughes said, "and seeing him as the Grinch helped me connect the dots and realize that this was that fantastic actor who had played Hamlet, Claudius, Iago, Brutus, Antony and the Scottish king."
So when time came to cast his revival of Robert Bolt's play "A Man for All Seasons," Mr. Hughes said, he knew exactly who he wanted to play Henry VIII opposite Frank Langella's Sir Thomas More. "It is just one big scene, but it is crucial to the play, so I asked Patrick," he said. "Whether it's the Grinch or Iago or Henry, he has the imagination and skill to portray a character of this size that becomes a living, breathing, walking metaphor, and he could absolutely match up with Langella."
Mr. Langella, by contrast, had never seen Mr. Page's work. But, he wrote in an e-mail message: "The role of Henry was his four lines into his audition. Unmistakable gifts. The single most intelligent, beautifully prepared and excitingly acted audition I have ever seen an actor give."
Mr. Page, 46, agrees that there is a through line from Macbeth and Iago to Scar and the Grinch to Henry: "a long line of egotists." Whether it's committing murder to ascend to the throne (in Shakespeare or Disney), or stopping Christmas and all that noise, noise, noise, or ditching one wife for another no matter the consequences, "these characters all have very strong desires and a ruthlessness about achieving them," he said. "That, of course, is very fun to play."

This success attracted the attention of Hollywood, and producer Sam Spiegel approached Bolt to revise Michael Wilson's script for Lawrence of Arabia. Directed by David Lean, it was Bolt's first successful screenplay and he received an Academy Award nomination for it. Bold won his first Oscar for his next collaboration with Lean, Doctor Zhvivago in 1963. In 1966 his screen adaptation of A Man for All Seasons won him a second Oscar. Meanwhile, on stage, Bolt produced Gentle Jack in 1963 and a play for children, The Thwarting of Baron Bolligrew at Christmas 1965. In 1970 another historical play, charting the relationship between Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I, Vivat! Vivat! Regina! played to full houses at the Chichester Festival and later enjoyed a long run in the West End, when it was transferred to Broadway two years later. It was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play. Meanwhile, Bolt wrote the screenplay for two films starring his then wife, Sarah Miles; Ryan's Daughter in 1970 and the historical costume drama Lady Caroline Lamb in 1972. Warah was both his second and fourth (last) wife; the first married in 1967, but divorced in 1976, then after a third marriage ended in divorce in 1985, Sarah and Bolt remarried in 1988. In 1972, Bold was appointed a CBE. In 1976, David Lean approached Bolt with an idea to rework the story of the infamous Bounty mutiny and, for two years, he worked on this epic project, creating two versions. Before he could complete the second, however, Bolt suffered a massive heart attack in April 1979, followed by a stroke. His one completed script was made into the film The Bounty five years later in 1981, directed by Roger Donaldson. His final film script, for The Mission, was produced in 1986. Robert Bolt died on 12 February 1995 at the age of seventy.

Speeding Paisley 106mph No Disqualification
Our client was a successful local businessman whose licence was a luxury rather than an essential.
It was a fine day and our client was in no particular rush. He had been rather impeded by a much slower moving vehicle in front and at a suitable and safe place to do so, overtook the car in front. Almost inevitably, the Police had just joined the M8 motorway at junction 31 and eventually paced our client allegedly travelling at a speed of 106mph in a 70mph limit (contrary to section 17(4) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984). Our client pled guilty by letter and then received a letter from Paisley Justice of the Peace Court requesting his personal attendance to make representations against disqualification. We were contacted and requested to save his licence.
We advised that the alleged speed (which our client denied) was too fast for the JP Court in Paisley to deal with in any other way than by exercising its powers of discretionary disqualification and that we could probably win the case at Trial - provided that we could have his initial plea of guilty withdrawn. Calibrated speedometer based cases can be notoriously difficult for the Crown to prove and we have spent over a decade winning these types of cases.
After having his guilty plea withdrawn and a not guilty plea recorded instead, we set to work. As matters progressed, we were increasingly confident of securing an outright acquittal. The Trial had been arranged - in error - by the Court for a non-Court day and we were contacted by the Procurator Fiscal's Office to try and agree a new date. We took the opportunity to discuss the case and managed to persuade the Crown to reduce the headline speed from 106mph to 96mph. We then discussed the potential resolution with our client and he elected to take the offer and accept the charge at the reduced speed. We attended and addressed the Court in mitigation in his absence.
The Court listened carefully to our submissions and endorsed his licence with 4 penalty points and imposed a fine of £400. Our client did not require to attend Court once for this case.
This case was dealt with by our Mr Simpson at Paisley Sheriff Court on 6th June 2018.

ReelTimes VR capabilities which were showcased in Inc. Magazines' March 24th issue solve the monetization problem of high production cost in relationship to the size of the potential audience that has thwarted VR content creation. Using ReelTime process and Ubiquiview technology, content can be shot in VR yet made available to major networks and other flat content portals as well. By expanding the number of potential viewers from only those with a VR headset to nearly all widely used formats, traditional monetization via product placement, embedded advertising, pre, and post-roll sponsorships, etc. become possible.
Earlier this year ReelTime VR appeared in TIME Magazine where it was singled out as companies "Among those most likely to gain from the growing virtual reality market" and where it cited t ReelTimes "In Front of View" as "The World's No. 1, VR Travel Show".

Our organisation survives because we know how to change and adapt to the needs of our future members.
In 2011 we launched our Rotary Growth Opportunities. Recognising the pressures of time commitments on young professional, business and working people today, we have developed innovative opportunities to make Rotary more accessible. One of these opportunities is the Satellite Club.
Today we are attracting younger people to Rotary by being flexible and allowing them to be innovative in meeting the object of Rotary. Many of them are joining Satellite Clubs.
Satellite Clubs are part of existing clubs that sponsor them. Even though Satellite Club members are members of their sponsoring Club, they have different meeting arrangements and ways of doing things. The Satellite Club members are given the freedom to develop in a way that suits their needs. They develop their own projects and activities and set their own goals.
We are encouraging Satellite Clubs to be innovative and flexible. We understand too well the demands on young working people today, so we need to encourage innovative ideas to make Rotary more accessible to them.


A project's work breakdown structure is one of the first, if not the first, deliverable of the project. It is a cornerstone piece of work that almost everything else on the project hangs from so getting this wrong can have disastrous consequences.
I've seen more than one project fail because the project manager has built the work breakdown structure on their own, with no input from anyone in the project team.
For best results, the work breakdown structure should be based on the project charter or scope document and should be a hierarchical breakdown of the deliverables of the project.
Involve the entire project team. Getting the whole team together to develop the WBS is both a chance for a get-to-know-you session, and sets the tone for the entire project. It also means you're getting the experts involved early.
Don't forget to include the test and support teams in the WBS meeting. Too often these critical functions are only involved at the very end, leading to overruns and delays.
Make the initial meeting at least half a day. This gives everyone time to discuss the project in detail before getting into the nitty gritty of breaking the work down.
Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day and you shouldn't expect your work breakdown structure to be complete after the first workshop either. It usually takes at least about three sessions with the project team to get the WBS to a usable state.

High-profile data breaches and security incidents on the Internet are gaining increasing attention from the Internet community, but also from the public and from governments. Various Cybersecurity initiatives have recently been launched, such as the EU Cybersecurity plan, which plan to improve security on the Internet. Sharing of security incident information is one of the items that shall improve awareness and ensure a quicker response.
As related work, the IETF Messaging Abuse Reporting Format (marf) working group had developed a standardized report format that enables automated processing of observed fraud, spam, virus or other abuse activity in email communication. The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) community had also gained experience with incident reporting.
Within the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) the Managed Incident Lightweight Exchange (MILE) working group has been chartered to develop standards and extensions for the purpose of improving incident information sharing and handling capabilities. The work in MILE builds on earlier work developed in the IETF Extended INCident Handling (INCH) working group. As a result of the standardization efforts, the Incident Object Description Exchange Format (IODEF) and the Real-time Inter-network Defense (RID) have been published. Several IODEF implementations are already available.
With the increased interest in incident information sharing the workshop organizers believe it is a good time to organize a tutorial workshop to discuss the current state of the standardization and deployment efforts, to share operational experience, and to brainstorm about some upcoming activities, for example the planned work on standardizing a Security Content Automation Protocol (SACM). Ideally, participants will have gained a much better understanding of the big picture as a result of this tutorial workshop.
This half-day workshop (starting at 12:00 and finishing at 18:30) aims to target the wider security community interested in learning more about the ongoing standardization and deployment efforts. You are particularly welcome if you are willing to engage in a discussion with other workshop participants.
The workshop will be structured as a series of sessions punctuated by invited speakers who will present background information to help participants reach a deeper understanding of the subject. Note that there is no possibility for remote participation.
Due to the room size limitations we have a first-come, first-serve policy for participation. Registration for SIIS free of charge but the organizers only provide the facility and no catering support. However, we kindly ask you to register to support us in better room planning.
You can register on http://siis.eventbrite.com.

Ericsson and BB Mobile, a Softbank Group company, have demonstrated the first seamless handover of circuit-switched voice and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) based video services between 3G mobile and wireless local area networks (WLAN).
The live demonstration was carried out over Softbank BB's commercial WLAN network and BB Mobile's WCDMA 3G mobile network operating on the 1.7GHz radio frequency band.
The demonstration shows that consumers will be able to use IMS services as they roam between a mobile network and a WLAN area, interruption free. This ability gives consumers a better and more natural service experience.
Hiroshi Ishihara, General Manager, Regulatory and External Affairs Division, BB Mobile, says the Softbank Group is an innovator and pioneer in the telecom industry. "The success of this demonstration is an important step towards our target to create a society where mobile broadband is a part of ever day life. New mobile communication opportunities and the convergence between broadband services, including our wireless LAN, will provide the most advanced mobility for consumers," he says.
By demonstrating the seamless handover of IMS services, BB Mobile and Ericsson have led the way in taking the Combinational Services Standard (service combinations specified by 3GPP) to the next level. Handover capabilities for combinational services between WCDMA and WLAN networks are being considered for inclusion in 3GPP Release 8.
For the demonstration, BB Mobile/Softbank supplied WiFi expertise through its commercial WLAN network. Ericsson provided the 1.7GHz WCDMA radio network, circuit-switched and packet-switched core networks, and the IMS network. The demonstration was held on July 22, at BB Mobile's test site in Saitama Prefecture, Japan.
