Apple releases next-gen 64-bit iWork and iLife apps for OS X and iOS; free with new Macs and iOS devices
Tuesday, October 22, 2013 2:36 pm Tuesday, October 22, 2013 51 Comments
Apple today announced its groundbreaking iWork productivity apps, Pages, Numbers and Keynote and award-winning iLife creativity apps, iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand have been completely redesigned to take full advantage of OS X Mavericks and iOS 7. All apps have been updated to 64-bit, are integrated with iCloud, and are loaded with hundreds of new features that let you do more than ever across your Apple devices. Apple today also announced that both iWork and iLife are now free with the purchase of every new Mac or iOS device.
"This is the biggest day for apps in Apple's history," said Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Internet Software and Services, in a statement. "These new versions deliver seamless experiences across devices that you can't find anywhere else and are packed with great features like iMovie Theater, Drummer and a new unified file format for iWork documents across all your devices."
An all new iWork for Mac and iOS makes creating, editing and sharing documents easier than ever. iWork introduces a new, unified file format, delivering perfect document fidelity across Mac, iOS and iCloud, and the iWork for iCloud beta now includes support for real-time collaboration. Now you can create your document on iPad®, edit it on your Mac and collaborate with friends in iWork for iCloud, even if they're on a PC. A brand new UI makes iWork even simpler to use, yet provides all of the powerful tools you need to create amazing documents, spreadsheets and presentations.
iPhoto for Mac and iOS are now 64-bit, making browsing and editing faster and smoother than ever. Inspired by iOS 7, iPhoto for iOS sports a clean, new design that's simpler and more beautiful than ever. New tools and effects let you create more dramatic images in both color and black and white. Now you can also share your favorite images as custom slideshows that you can pause, rewind and fast forward using gestures, or order them as professional-quality prints, including panoramas, and as gorgeous hard cover books that you create using Multi-Touch.
iMovie for Mac and iOS have been redesigned to make it easier than ever to browse your video library and instantly share your favorite moments. iMovie for Mac includes simplified editing tools that let you quickly improve the look of your movie, add fun effects, and speed up or slow down your video. iMovie for iOS brings desktop-class moviemaking to your iPhone and iPad, so you can create split screen and picture-in-picture effects or advanced audio edits in just a few taps. And with iMovie Theater, you can watch your shared clips, movies, and trailers on all your Apple devices, even your Apple TV.*
GarageBand for Mac has received its biggest update ever with a fresh new look, all new Sound Library, and amazing new features, like Drummer and Smart Controls, giving you everything you need to easily make a great-sounding song. GarageBand for iOS has been updated to match the look and feel of iOS 7 and taps the power of 64-bit to bring musicians a full recording studio with up to 32 tracks. With iOS 7 Inter-App Audio you can record third-party music apps right into GarageBand, and AirDrop® allows you to wirelessly share your song projects with other iOS users so you can work on songs together. iCloud helps keep your song projects up to date across your devices, and users can start a song on iOS and pick up where they left off using GarageBand for Mac.
iWork and iLife for Mac come free with every new Mac purchase. Existing users running Mavericks can update their apps for free from the Mac App Store. iWork and iLife for iOS are available for free from the App Store℠ for any new device running iOS 7, and are also available as free updates for existing users. GarageBand for Mac and iOS are free for all OS X Mavericks and iOS 7 users. Additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available for a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 for each platform.
*iMovie Theater requires iCloud to keep your shared content up to date across all your devices.

And AAPL drops as usual. Tiresome shit.
Wall St. hates the fact that Apple makes money regardless of Wall St. They really really don't like the idea that companies might actually make and sell products and concentrate on their customers, yet Apple can do that and still make more money than Wall St. could possibly lose in an afternoon.
billyjackblack
Wall St. doesn't hate Apple. They love Apple because they can manipulate the shit out of its stock.
The fact that AAPL only dropped $2 after a $20 run-up is a POSITIVE reaction to the event. Let's see what happens tomorrow. If there's no big sell-off then Cook has hit a home run.
scottforde
It because of the old saying "buy the rumor, sell the news" – it's been going up for weeks and then there is a sell at the news for the short term gain.
Think of this as a buying opportunity. See my comments beneath this article:
Tech stocks turn down; Netflix, Apple in the red
Dropped less than your cellular bill, like that stupidfuck Hussein says.
Grigori
Dropped less than you were on your head in childhood.
GTDworak
Wall Street has been trying to put a ring in Apple's nose for years now. Thankfully, Apple ignores them. Microsoft got in bed with them and look how pathetically their stock has performed. All the stuff from all the other players, looks like crap compared to Apple's offerings. Really looking forward to getting an iPad Air, that is one sweet piece of technology. I can only imagine what's going through Monkey Boy's head today. I'm sure he's not too happy sitting there twiddling with his kickstand.

I guess it is time for Microsoft to re-evaluate where they stand both as a viable competitor and if they still think their subscription model will implode on them. Wonder what Google thinks seeing that their free Google apps don't effectively integrate a user's work as seamless as iWorks does. Slam dunk for Apple.
ken1w
Microsoft is not really an Apple competitor when it comes to applications. Apple can give their software away for free, because the profit comes from selling the hardware. Make the hardware more attractive with better built-in software, sell even more hardware, make even more profit…
Microsoft must make profit from selling software. So Microsoft cannot match Apple's "free with new hardware." Microsoft is now trying to copy Apple by selling hardware, but that has so far been "unprofitable," to say the least. Microsoft has LOST a billion dollars trying to profit from selling hardware.
Google can match Apple's "free," but Google profits from advertising. Google is closer (than Microsoft) to being Apple's competition in applications, because both Google and Apple use apps as a means of profiting from something else. But Apple creates great user experience to increase loyalty and drive future hardware sales. The motivations of Apple and its customers are aligned. Google just wants the user's eyeballs and data, to improve revenue from advertising. Google's motivation is aligned with advertisers (the REAL "customers").
The choice is to be Apple's value customers, or Google's valued "commodity."
Microsoft sells primarily to businesses. Large business need centralized deployment. They need to have centralized security policies, centralized deployment, and centralized control over updates. have to keep all their client machines in step. Microsoft is very good at that. Internal consistency is so important to large businesses that lousy software is tolerable.
mcmalus
LOL! this is almost too funny ken. you mean like "walled garden"? is this irony or sarcasm?
No, I'm serious, and it's not about some sort of big brother style walled garden. It's about a lack of corporate chaos. Right now I am working in an organization that has offices all over the globe, mainly in third world countries. For each location, we set up a rack with modems, routers, switches, servers, UPSs, and all that. We set up a half-dozen virtual servers for various functions. We install and configure server software, and they each have the same directory structure with the same names, capitalized the same way. We set it up so that updates are managed centrally. I'm one of the guys doing that.
The local IT specialist can install software and user accounts., but the kind of IT talent you can get in places like Burundi is limited. Our international support is one guy. He can't support people all over the world if every setup is unique.
We joke about how lousy Microsoft software is, and most of the IT guys here have Macs at home, but Apple doesn't have a solution for centrally managing a large organization scattered over a large area.
ken, i understand what you are saying. you can't paint the application of IT as a productivity tool with a broad brush. it depends on who pays for it and what they are paying for it for. very linear and specialized application of IT in a silo makes sense and you are right there is no alternative. apple does not and should not venture into this dark area. it has never been their DNA. the world is just about optimal here.
I'm worried that Apple might make the Mac into a giant iPad. Then what do I do for a computer when there is nothing better?
MightMouth
You are Steve Ballmer's wet dream. Just saying".
Well, Apple has Remote Desktop, which pretty much does everything you just mentioned. I used to work for a major newspaper and supported Mac's all over the country. Ran scheduled updates, installed software, managed the user accounts, did remote troubleshooting and configurations, etc. if you never used ARD, you would find it to be quite capable and very intuitive and easy to use. Much easier than working with Active Directory. Mac's us Open Directory, which is quite capable. You can also add Mac's to an Active Directory domain quite easily as well. Mac's are more enterprise ready than most people realize.
So you have to be running Mavericks to be able to install the new iLife and iWorks at all? Man, that's one way to secure early adoption.
Considering Mavericks is free for everyone, even people running pretty old versions of Mac OS, not a bad deal.
Mavericks itself is free, but keep an eye on Roaringapps.com before jumping in IMO. Some software might need paid updates to still run.
Ilovemymac
By by word and excel. Apple just killed them. Ok not yet but they just put a huge dent in them. And hopefully they make them easier to use.
I keep getting the impression that Microsoft software is developed by a committee that never had a meeting.
I'm in a bit of anxiety. I'm a Pages power user, and I have thousands of Pages documents. I depend on features in OSX Pages that are not in iOS Pages.
Does the new OS X Pages retain all the features of Pages '09? (If they are implemented differently, fine; if there are additional features, all the better; I'm only concerned with deleted features.) Have they just made a gussied-up iPad app and ported it to the Mac? If I "upgrade," what am I in for, and will I regret it?
ITxUser
I second this. The existing iOS and iCloud versions of Pages only support Word Processing mode, not Page Layout. If the compatibility with OSX Pages is achieved by dropping the ability to link text boxes, this is a non-starter for thousands of newsletter and brochure editors. So, can somebody answer our question?
Wednesday, October 23, 2013 at 6:35 am
Unfortunately is seems to be a ported iOS app 🙁 In the reviews on the Mac App store it is noted, that i.e. linked textboxes are no longer available in Pages 2013!
As I type this, my question has two stars. I don't understand that. I need an answer, not a rating.
Perhaps you should ask Apple? No one here has used it yet.
I was thinking of taking a trip to the Apple Store to ask, but I was hoping to get a quick answer here. I upgraded blindly to iOS 7 and regretted it. This time, thousands of documents are at stake, I don't want to upgrade Pages until I'm sure, because if I do, I can't go back.
Apple's web site shows how Pages can put pictures in documents, which is nice. Sometimes I do that. But most of the time, silly me, I use a word processor to process words.
Ken again
Here's an example of a feature I absolutely need, which works very well in OS X Pages, but doesn't exist in iOS Pages: search and replace styles and non-printing characters. I cannot use iOS Pages to edit documents. At all. Period. As an added bonus, saving Pages documents to iCloud puts them through a file converter that strips out things I need.
So my question again. Can OS X Pages do everything that Pages '09 could do?
ploth
Be sure to tell us all when you find out 😉
Invisible characters can be shown, and customizable paragraph styles exist. Someone else mentioned Text Box linking above and from what I can see it's not in there. It's definitely more powerful than the old mobile apps, but it is currently lacking a few things. Hoping for updates to add them back.
Wednesday, October 23, 2013 at 2:05 pm
I guess I didn't say it clearly. I didn't mean seeing the nonprinting characters, though it is reassuring that it is still possible. I meant searching and replacing them. In Pages for Grownups, you can put line breaks (control-return), paragraph marks (option-return), tabs (option-tab) and such in either the search or the replace fields. You can replace all tabs with spaces, or line breaks to paragraph marks, by themselves or in combination with other other characters. I need to do this at least once every week.
Wednesday, October 23, 2013 at 12:38 am
WARNING! The new Pages does NOT support Page Layout. Opening an existing file will delete all the text box links. If you have to edit or create a newsletter or similar document, you will have to do it in Pages '09. There may be similar omissions, so beware!
I love Apple
Very well done, Apple. I am excited.
Saldin
I can only see the old versions. Are the new iLife and iWork available for Mavericks only?
Apple ramped up devices, ramped up OSs, took data storage/ubiquity to a level that gives home users the power that DoD folk wish they had. It was a very impressive presentation.
Microsoft should be worried. Both Google and Apple are sharks in the water tearing apart the legs of Office. Free software, quality free software, is a game changer. Free OS software? Boom!
I'll buy an iPad Air just to check out the potential of the 64-bit platform as new apps roll out. Pity the WiFi radio is not the best.
Grrrilla
Upgrade with caution (or perhaps not at all). Those of you who were around for the iMovie and Final Cut Pro debacles will recall the danger of losing functionality when 'upgrading' to Apple's "simplified" versions. Apple eventually let us keep 2 different versions of iMovie because of it, and the return to full use took months or years, especially with Final Cut Pro. Will that happen again? I have too much at stake – won't be upgrading iPhoto until I know more about it.
tekriter
And the latest version of iMovie prior to today is essentially useless when using an AVCHD camcorder.
It works, but output the file to DVD and the results are terrible.
The most common answer I received was "upgrade to Final Cut Pro X".
No, the old iMovie worked fine with my old tape camcorders. Upgrading to HD camcorders which Apple said would work gave me poorer results.
Is anyone else seeing the ios versions free… On an iPhone 5?
The article says "new" devices.. I haven't upgraded to a 5S yet.. And they just dropped to free for me. Only keynote remote is showing a price.
I own pages for ios already, none of the others I need. (Until today 😉 )
This is odd.
My iPhone 5, all but Keynote remote shows free.
My iPad still shows the old prices.
iTunes App store on my mac, same as iPad.
Under $4 in my account.. So no harm (charge) if it's wrong.
Get iPhoto for my iPhone, iPad starts downloading it.. 🙂
And no, it's not "always been free for me" because i run iOS7.
Since the iOS7 rumors started with iWork going free.. I've been watching the apps closely. Even this morning they did not show free for me.

Q: Trying to print out the day of an event using php Im currently working through the Joy Of PHP book, by Alan Forbes.
As im new to php, I have got stuck on pretty much the first question.
The following program is meant to print out the date of an event, yet it does not.
Can anyone shed any light on why its not working?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>PHP Test</title>
</head>
<body>
    <?php
    $target = mktime(0,0,0,30,2012);
    $today = time();
    $difference = ($target-$today);
    $days=(int) ($difference/86400);
    print "Our event will occur $days days";
    ?>

</body>
</html>

A: I believe there is one zero to little.
The mktime() has 7 inputs. You use 5, meaning 30 is month and 2012 is day.
What it should be is probably:
$target = mktime(0,0,0,8,30,2017);
$today = time();
$difference = ($target-$today);
$days=(int) ($difference/86400);
print "Our event will occur $days days";

Here I replaced the year to something more "now". And the output is 14 days. And today it's 14 days til 2017-08-30.

What Are the Basic Vitamin & Mineral Supplements a Man Over 50 Should Take?
As your body changes with age, so do your nutritional requirements, In order to deal with the effects of the natural aging process, men will need more of certain vitamins and minerals to help prevent diseases they are more at risk after age 50. Although you should try to get as many vitamins and minerals as you can from food sources, in some cases a vitamin or mineral supplement may be needed.
Osteoporosis becomes a serious concern as men reach the 50 year mark. Osteoporosis is a disease that causes the bones to weaken and more easily break. One way to help reduce your risks of developing osteoporosis is by ensuring you get the right amount of vitamin D, which is needed to absorb calcium. According to the National Osteoporosis foundation, men over 50 need 800-1,000 IU of vitamin D every day. You can get vitamin D through sunlight, the foods you eat -- such as vitamin D fortified milk -- and vitamin D supplements.
For vitamin D to be helpful, you must also ensure you get enough calcium. Calcium is needed to build dense and strong bone structure and to continue the overall health and strength of the bones as you age. The NOF recommends that men over 50 get 1,200 milligrams of calcium every day to help prevent osteoporosis.
Another risk factor that increases in men with age is the development of Alzheimer's disease, which causes cognitive deterioration and problems with memory, and which may eventually result in death. Studies performed by Johns Hopkins University and published in Archives of Neurology in 2004 state that one way to help prevent the onset of Alzheimer's is adequate levels of vitamin C. The National Institutes of Health recommend that all men over 50 get at least 90 mg each day of vitamin C, either from natural sources or a supplement.
Vitamin E also plays a role in preventing Alzheimer's as you age, according to Johns Hopkins. When combined with vitamin C, the antioxidant effects of vitamin E may help protect brain cells from damage over time. Men over 50 should aim for 15 mg of the vitamin, but should not exceed 400 IU each day due to possible serious health complications, says a 2004 statement by the American Heart Association.
Prostate cancer is another worry for many men over the age of 50. A nutrient that has made its way into multiple prostate cancer-related studies is a nutrient called lycopene, states Mayoclinic.com, which is largely found in vegetables like tomatoes. Lycopene supplements are widely available on the market to help prevent prostate cancer; however, it is more widely recommended that you increase your overall consumption of fruits and vegetables to help prevent prostate cancer instead of focusing only on a single supplement.
Atherosclerosis, or the buildup of fat in the blood vessels causing arterial damage and blood clots, is another concern for men over 50. One contributing factor to this disease is an amino acid in the blood called homocysteine. B vitamins and folic acid can both help break down homocysteine in the blood, helping reduce your risks for atherosclerosis, states the American Heart Association. You should only take a supplement for these nutrients if you are incapable of getting them in your diet through foods like tomatoes, fruits vegetables and grains.

AUSTIN – Work zone fatalities in Texas last year increased 27 percent, resulting in 181 lost lives. Of those fatalities, 174 (96 percent) were motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists.
TxDOT reminds drivers that every single day requires caution when driving through work zones. As the state's population continues to boom, the price of progress can mean more than 2,500 active TxDOT work zones at any given time. In 2016, there were 25,713 work zone crashes in Texas. The leading causes of fatal work zone crashes statewide – speeding and failure to stay in a single lane – are entirely preventable.
The information contained in this report represents reportable data collected from the Texas Peace Officer's Crash Report (CR-3). This information was received and processed by the department as of March 6, 2017.

Hacking – German politicians fear Russian interference in the next election
November 30, 2016 By Pierluigi Paganini
German politicians fear Russian interference in the next election after the cyber attack that hit at least 900,000 routers.
During the weekend an improved version of the Mirai Botnet caused serious connectivity problems to at least 900,000 routers of the Deutsche Telekom.
Just after the attack, some experts speculated the involvement of Russian hackers behind the botnet that powered it.
The Government of Berlin fears possible interference of Russian nation-state hackers with the 2017 German election.
The attack demonstrated once again how much vulnerable it modern society to cyber threats, which then can also interfere with a political election. German politicians fear the Kremlin's cyber capabilities. The alleged Russian interference in the US Presidential election is unleashing a domino effect and insinuating the fear in governments.
"I don't have any concrete information about the origin of the attacks on the Telekom network," Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Tuesday in Berlin. "Let me just say that such cyberattacks, or 'hybrid attacks' as they're known in Russian doctrine, are part of everyday life today, and we need to learn to deal with them."
State-sponsored hackers or non-nation state actor?
Even if the attack was launched by Russian hackers its attribution still remains the biggest problem to solve. Governments need to properly manage such kind of situation through the definition of norms of state behavior that can deal with cyber attacks launched by both categories of threat actors.
The Germany's Interior Minister Thomas de Mazière expressed a great concern for explicitly blaming Moscow.
"It's possible that we can't clearly distinguish between criminal activities launched from a certain country and state activities," Maizière declared at a conference of federal state interior ministers in Saarbrücken, when asked if Moscow was responsible for the attacks against the German routers.
The new president of German intelligence service (BND), Bruno Kahl, confirmed that foreign hackers can try to launch cyber attacks in the attempt to "delegitimize the democratic process" in the country.
"In an interview with the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper, Bruno Kahl – the new president of German intelligence service, the BND – complained about hackers trying to "delegitimize the democratic process as such" and said he had "indications" that the hacks "came from certain quarters," namely Russia. And the Telekom hack is by no means the only attack of its kind in Germany." reported DW.com.
In the past German infrastructure were targeted several times by foreign hackers. In June 2015, the German Government announced that hackers who breached the Bundestagsystems in May have also stolen data from targeted network. A spokeswoman for the Bundestag confirmed that unknown hackers stole data during the cyber attack, the investigators have uncovered several data leaks.
The daily Der Spiegel speculated that the Russian Government was involved in the attack occurred in May 2015. The news agency reported the opinion government representatives close to the Bundestag's tech department.
"Behind the Cyber attack on the data network of the German Bundestag experts suspect Russian professional hackers. The SPIEGEL ONLINE learned from multiple sources familiar with the case. Thus, the German security authorities are now available clear indications that an authorship Russian cyber spies – point – perhaps a secret." states the Der Spiegel website.
The attackers, likely Russian state-sponsored hackers, used a sophisticated strain of malware to violate the Bundestag network and syphon sensitive data. The experts that analyzed the malicious have found it similar to the malware used in a previous attack against on a German Government network occurred in 2014.
German intelligence is aware of cyber espionage campaigns against its political leaders.
"We have indications that hacker groups from Russia are active in this area, but we also know what foreign intelligence services are capable of," Social Democratic Bundestag deputy Lars Klingbeil told Deutsche Welle. "For me this shows that we really need to protect ourselves structurally. Looking ahead to the national elections next year, this could become a major issue."

Real Asian Beauty: Trying 10 Exotic Filipino Food!!
Trying 10 Exotic Filipino Food!!
One of the things on my Bucket List is to eat exotic food! I have been wanting to try stuff like frogs and bugs (salagubang) since a lot of people in Tarlac tell me it's good.
When my sister, Karen, came here to the Philippines last November 2016, I decided it was time for me to finally taste those exotic food! I thought, as well, it would be more fun to share it on our YouTube channel since my sister has never tried any exotic Filipino food before.
Here's what we ate in the video!
Most of the food we featured in the video aren't really considered "exotic" here in the Philippines anymore! Crazy! Why?? It's because stuff like Chicken intestine, chicken feet, cow intestine and balot are sold in the streets and considered "usual"!
But my sister has never tried any of them before so I was excited for her to try them! As for myself, I was excited to try the frogs since I've never eaten them before. I also wanted to know if they actually taste similar to chicken meat.
Here is the video where we ate different EXOTIC FOOD! We were in Tarlac when we filmed it so it was just the perfect location!
We never would have done this challenge without the help of my cousin, Glenn! He helped us catch, buy, cook and prepare the snails, frogs, birds and field rats!!
I used to really love Tarlac. I have even planned that when I get richer, I'd buy a small lot there and build a small house where I could spend vacations and serve as my rest house. The place is really perfect. I love how simple life is.
So simple that you could go to the field near your house and catch frogs and snails! It's also amazing how the skies and sunsets in Tarlac are always so lovely! Always so picturesque!
Isn't James the cutest? He's so cute, you can tell he'd be so handsome when he gets older. I can see half of his features from his Dad, Glenn and half of his features from his Mom, Lovely. Soooo cute!
Okay, back to the frogs. They do taste similar to the taste of chicken meat, but more on the breast part. I wish there was a better way to cut them, though, so they won't look like frogs when served on the table.
If you watched the video, you'd even hear Glenn's voice in the background directing us which food to eat first and which one to eat next. Here is a photo of us with her wife, Lovely! Ahh, I miss these 3 people. My sister is now back in Japan while Glenn and Lovely are in Tarlac.
So, that was our Exotic Food Challenge!! Did you enjoy the video? I hope you did!

Prevalence and determinants of isolated systolic hypertension among young adults: The 1999-2004 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Regina C. Grebla, Carlos J. Rodriguez, Luisa N. Borrell, Thomas G. Pickering
BACKGROUND: Little is known about isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) in younger adults. We examined the prevalence and determinants of ISH in this age group using the 1999-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) and made comparisons using data from NHANES III (1988-1994). METHODS: A total of 5685 adults aged 18-39 years and not on antihypertensive medications were analyzed. Prevalence estimates of ISH and potential risk factors were estimated by age and sex. For comparison of prevalence estimates with published reports of NHANES III data, age cutoffs (18-24, 25-34, and 35-44 year) by sex were also employed. A multivariate logistic regression model tested independent determinants of ISH. RESULTS: ISH in young adults had a higher prevalence than systolic/diastolic hypertension (1.57 ± 0.23% vs. 0.93 ± 0.18%). ISH prevalence increased within the last decade particularly for men for each respective age category [men (0.8 vs. 2.2%, 1.3 vs. 2.4%, 1.3 vs. 2.4%), women (0.0 vs. 0.3%, 0.1 vs. 0.7%, 1.7 vs. 1.8%)]. On multivariate analysis, obesity [odds ratio (OR): 2.68, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.06, 6.77], male sex (OR: 2.19, 95% CI: 1.10, 4.37), education level less than high school (OR: 2.98, 95% CI: 1.10, 8.06), and current smoking (OR: 2.06, 95% CI: 1.03, 4.11) were characteristics independently associated with higher odds of ISH among young adults. Relative increases in prevalence between the surveys were noted for current smoking (24.3 vs. 51.5%), obesity (33.9 vs. 42.7%) and low educational level (18.4 vs. 38.6%). CONCLUSION: ISH among young adults is increasing in prevalence, and is more common than systolic/diastolic hypertension. Obesity, smoking, and low socioeconomic status appear to be important determinants of ISH among young adults and have all increased over the last decade.

"Another masterpiece. Crown Jewel captures the essence, tradition and glory of the famous NWA World Heavyweight championship belt. If you enjoy history, regardless if you are a wrestling fan, this is the book for you."
- Tim Hornbaker, Author of "National Wrestling Alliance" and "Capitol Revolution"
"It is amazing to me how Dick Bourne can bring to life the wonderful history and amazing stories of our sport. Crown Jewel is just one example and should be counted among his best works to date."
- Gerald Brisco, Former NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion
"Reading Crown Jewel and looking at the pictures was like wrapping myself up in a cool blanket and going back in time to some of the greatest times of my life."
- Dr. Tom Prichard, Author, Trainer, Podcaster, former WWE Superstar
"This volume, like Bourne's previous editions, is a must for longtime NWA fans and those who appreciate the history of the business."
-Mike Mooneyham, Charleston Post & Courier
"If you have even a passing interest in the creation, design and history of physical title belts, there is not a person alive who has better research skills and more passion about this aspect of pro wrestling than Bourne."
- Mike Johnson, PWInsider.com
"This book is packed with tons of history, great photos, and nostalgia from one of the most exciting eras of pro wrestling. Nobody presents books that look and read as good as these do."

"This book is so good, I did not want it to end. The history that you cover is outstanding. The photos that you present are among the best I have ever seen."

- Bruce Prichard, "Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard" podcast, WWE Executive
In 1957, the National Wrestling Alliance found itself in an unusual situation. Dick Hutton, the man who had just beat Lou Thesz for the World Heavyweight Championship, was suddenly a champion without a belt. It took the NWA two years to have a new belt made, but in late 1959, Sam Muchnick finally presented a beautiful new title belt -- the crown belt - - to then champion Pat O'Connor.
This is the story of the events that led up to that long period without a championship trophy, and the developments during that time that resulted in a new NWA belt.
For the first time ever, the belt itself gets a close look, including its origins, its construction, as well as the story of the promoter and the craftsman that put it all together.
And of course the main event is the detailed title history of the championship during the golden era of the crown belt, and a look at the six champions who wore and defended it.
They're all here: from Pat O'Connor, Buddy Rogers, and Lou Thesz, to Gene Kiniski, Dory Funk, Jr., and Harley Race. Plus the story of champion Dick Hutton, who held the NWA title but had no belt at all to represent it.
Featuring dozens of photographs, some never published before, as well as over fifty pages of exhibits and memorabilia including program covers, newspaper accounts, and rare documents from the NWA archives.
It's the crown jewel of wrestling belts as you've never seen it before.

Q: convert attributes into back to array I need to first save array to  to table row  attribute then trying to convert attributes into back to array
var arr_Rates = new Array();
arr_Rates.push({Single:"value",Double: "value"});
$('table tr').attr("arr_Rates", arr_Rates);

When I am retrieving back data from attribute to array , I get attr value, but  I am not able to convert that into array and loop through values
var arr_Rates=$('table tr').attr("arr_Rates");

$.each(arr_Rates, function( index, value ) {
console.log(value);
 })

above code gives this error:

Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'length' in [object Object]

I also tried
var array = $.map(arr_Rates, function(value, index) {
    return [value];
});

And
var arr = jQuery.makeArray( arr_Rates );  and   JSON.parse(arr_Rates )
But still same error, please suggest me some fix.

A: Given that you want to store an array of objects within the element it makes far more sense to use data() as it saves having to serialise/deserialise your values. Try this:

// set:
var ratesInput = [{
  Single: "value single",
  Double: "value double"
}];
$('table tr').data('rates', ratesInput);

// get:
var ratesOutput = $('table tr').data('rates');
ratesOutput.forEach(function(value, index) {
  console.log(value);
});

The Changing Compliance Landscape for Venture Capital & Other Private Markets Fund Managers
Vivek Pingili
ACA's Vivek Pingili, Director, recently joined the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) and Northgate Capital in a webcast providing considerations for building and implementing an effective compliance program for venture capital and other types of private markets fund managers.
Increasing Regulatory Pressures
Although many venture capital firms in the U.S. today are exempt reporting advisers (ERAs), scrutiny of these firms has increased.
While today there are very few venture capital firms that operate as investment advisers registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)(RIAs), that number is increasing due to pressure from prospective limited partners (LPs), or because firms want to diversify their investment strategies in a manner that would require them to abandon the SEC registration exemption available for venture capital fund managers and register with the SEC.
In part due to the significant growth in venture capital funds in the past 5 years, the current SEC administration wants to examine these firms more closely (irrespective of their SEC registration status) to better understand how venture capital fund managers are growing and how their risk profiles may change as their businesses evolve.
As a purely technical matter, various compliance obligations an RIA is subject to don't apply to a venture capital fund manager operating as an ERA. The examinations of venture capital ERAs, as well as enforcement actions involving venture capital ERAs, have focused on virtually all of the key risk areas that also apply to venture capital fund managers that are RIAs. As such, through pressure from both investors and the SEC, the compliance program differences between being a registered or unregistered venture capital fund manager is increasingly shrinking.
SEC Exams
Despite COVID-19, the SEC has been very active in examining venture capital firms and other types of private markets fund managers. ACA is seeing trends of SEC exams increasing in scope – including longer request lists and longer time-periods covered. In some instances, SEC-registered firms are even being examined on matters that occurred prior to when they registered with the SEC. Additionally, the SEC has been actively trying to educate the marketplace about their expectations by publishing guidance about lessons learned from exams, and the guidance being provided increasingly covers topics of unique or particular relevance to venture capital firms and other types of private markets fund managers (e.g., conflicts relating to co-investments and the use of operating partners and senior advisers).
ACA is also seeing venture capital ERAs increasingly adopt RIA-like written policies, even prior to SEC-registration, both to demonstrate to their current and prospective investors their compliance programs are as robust as those of their SEC-registered counterparts, as well as to prepare them for transitioning to RIA status in the future.
SEC Focus Areas
Side-letters
The SEC views contractual arrangements between general partners (GPs) and LPs as a key mechanism to sharing risk in light of the complicated, long-term, and closed-end nature of venture capital fund businesses. Over the years, the SEC has increasingly stepped in to ensure GPs are complying with their contractual obligations to their LPs (via limited partner agreements (LPAs) and side letters). As a result, it is not surprising that a fair number of SEC enforcement actions and exam deficiency letters have involved some type of a failure by a GP to comply with one or more side-letters and/or LPA provisions.
Given the increasing importance of LPA and side letter compliance (including being able to evidence such compliance), you should seriously consider a technological solution to efficiently and effectively manage these obligations to your investors.
Conflicts of interest have always been a focus area for the SEC. In the initial years since the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act, the SEC was primarily concerned with ensuring that GPs were notifying and/or receiving the consent of their funds' respective limited partner advisory committees where such notification or consent was required under a fund's LPA. More recently, the SEC is now increasingly focused on ensuring the quality of disclosures being made to fund limited partner advisory committees are robust enough to provide meaningful information to such independent committees regarding a host of conflicts. For example, we have seen the SEC recently scrutinize whether venture capital and other private markets fund managers are disclosing sufficient conflicts-related and other material information to LPs in connection with seeking their consent for warehousing and other types of principal transactions.
Historically, the SEC focused on how operating partners, senior advisors, and strategic advisors are compensated. In recent years, as these consultants increasingly work with multiple private markets fund managers simultaneously (including those competing with one another), the SEC has expanded its scrutiny of these relationships to ensure conflicts and other risks (such as misuse of sensitive information) are being properly managed (e.g., through robust contractual undertakings in confidentiality agreements).
Fees and expenses
Transparency around fees and expenses have been a top priority for the SEC since the early days of Dodd Frank. More recently under the Gensler administration, we have seen the SEC increasingly remark on the marked variations in fees and expenses an investor pays across the investor's private markets fund investments. The SEC is focused on ensuring investors are able to better compare fee and expense terms from one fund to another to be able to make informed decisions about which fund investments are optimal for their investment objectives and risk/return profiles. Very recently, dovetailing with multiple proposals from the Institutional Limited Partners Association (ILPA) and other LP-side organizations, the SEC has indicated it will consider whether to adopt a principal-based rule designed to provide consistency across how fund managers disclose fees and expenses. Irrespective of whether such a rule will ultimately materialize, it is reasonable to expect additional formal guidance from the SEC on these matters (e.g., via risk alerts).
There has been an increased focus on performance presentations in SEC enforcement and examination activity because these presentations are crucial to an investor's or a prospective investor's evaluation of a private markets fund manager. Not surprisingly, under the new Marketing Rule, which will only apply to RIAs, at least 50% of the focus is on performance reporting matters.
Even if the Marketing Rule is not applicable to your firm, as in the past, if you do comply with it voluntarily, it can be a safe harbor to rely on should you face an allegation that you misled investors.
Additionally, while historically, the SEC has not focused on Regulation D compliance in the private fund space, this is an area that has seen a steady increase in SEC scrutiny over the past few years. Particularly as more and more fund managers opt for general solicitation via Rule 506(c) offerings, the SEC is examining whether such firms are independently vetting the accredited investor status of prospects (as opposed to relying solely on self-representations these prospects provide in subscription documents). The SEC has also noticed that many firms that continue to rely on 506(b) offerings (where general solicitation is prohibited) have undertaken activities that the SEC believes amount to general solicitation (e.g., listing private funds on a website or publicly announcing they are in fundraising mode).
Historically, certain private markets fund managers have reviewed valuations once a year, except in the case of investments where material developments arose during the course of a year. Since the onset of COVID-19, the SEC and LPs have been putting pressure on these fund managers to review valuations more frequently and provide more timely information to their LPs on material developments involving portfolio companies.
ACA is also seeing an increased SEC push for lookback testing. When a private markets fund manager exited investments at lower valuations than what the manager marketed/reported to its investors during the holding period for an unrealized investment, the SEC is looking at what lessons the manager learned from this experience, and whether the manager appropriately modified its valuation processes to be more conservative to reduce the risk of such mis-matches in the future.
Many venture capital firms and other private markets fund managers are implementing increasingly ambitious environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies (and expanding their disclosures in this area). This is at least in part due to a lot of pressure from LPs who want their GPs to formally articulate and implement a robust charitable and/or investment-related ESG footprint. However, due to the intense SEC focus and LPs increasingly probing how venture capital firms and other private markets fund managers are implementing ESG policies vis-à-vis their contractual undertakings and/or disclosures in this area, managers should not commit to aspirational policies unless they have a solid implementation game plan that is feasible. It is always better for a firm to, in practice, go above and beyond what they have committed to in writing. The same holds true for ESG-related undertaking a private markets fund manager seeks to provide in relation to its portfolio companies.
When creating an ESG policy, venture capital fund managers should consider:
What do LPs really want to see in this area?
How can the venture capital fund manager efficiently and pragmatically satisfy LP expectations relating to ESG matters (and document their accomplishments)?
In relation to undertakings being made on behalf of portfolio companies, can these companies accomplish these tasks and provide evidence of such completion given their other constraints and challenges?
Since COVID-19, monitoring for how venture capital fund managers and their portfolio companies are managing risk in this area has become more common by the SEC. An increase in ransomware attacks and identity theft (including in the context of funding investments and receiving distributions) has resulted in portfolio companies and their venture capital fund owners putting capital at risk. Venture capital fund managers need to think about how they are managing enterprise level risks and the risk exposure and damage that can occur if they or one of their portfolio companies is subject to a ransomware attack.
Firms can combat cybersecurity risks by making sure:
Employees are trained on proper cybersecurity etiquette and identity theft-prevention controls
Systems are secure
Passwords are routinely updated
Infrastructure is secure
Cybersecurity policies are actively monitoring for breaches
Consistent testing to identify gaps in IT infrastructure
There is an increasing push by the SEC for venture capital firms to formalize their investment processes, from how they source investment opportunities to how they exit these opportunities – i.e., the full lifecycle of the investment process. The SEC is looking for consistency in due diligence processes from deal to deal on common denominator risks such as cybersecurity, background checks on senior management of portfolio companies, pending litigation (if any), and quality of financial accounting and reporting processes at portfolio companies.
It is also important that the investment process and how it is presented to the investment committee is accurately represented in the investment disclosures. The SEC doesn't want to see procedures listed in disclosures that do not add value to the process.

We are so thankful for your faithful generosity and contributions to support First Pres ministries during 2018. Thank You!
While 2018 year-over-year giving tracked ahead of 2017 through October, decreased November gifts put us behind last year as we entered the Advent season. At the end of 2018, we needed $1,500,000 to reach our November-December giving target. In past years we faced and reached financial hurdles of this size, and we felt confident about doing it once again.
In early January, we are still calculating the 2018 giving total, including year-end PayPal gifts and receiving contributions postmarked before or on December 31, 2018. We will give a final report on giving and expenses after we close the 2018 fiscal year. Final income and expense numbers will be published in our 2018 Annual Report, which will be available in mid-February in advance of the Annual Meeting in March 2019.
In the meantime, if you have questions, please contact Stewardship Chair Paul Davis at pedavis@comcast.net or Sue Burger at (510) 280-6124 or sueb@fpcberkeley.org.

The Oconto Falls High School football team allowed 47 points before getting on the scoreboard in the first half of Friday's Bay Conference game against Luxemburg-Casco in Oconto Falls.
The Panthers could not overcome the slow start and fell 54-20 to the Spartans (4-4, 3-4 Bay).
Oconto Falls (0-7, 0-7 Bay) got on the scoreboard late in the second quarter when Sam Konitzer found Zachary Brye for a 15-yard touchdown.
"We were able to put together a drive just before the end of the second quarter, and that gave us some confidence heading into the second half," Oconto Falls coach Jeff Trochil said.
The Panthers took the opening drive of the second half into Spartan territory, but a Konitzer pass was intercepted by Cole Kirchman, who returned for a touchdown that put Luxemburg-Casco up 54-7.
The Gillett Secondary School football team lost to Crivitz 48-33 in a Marinette & Oconto Conference game Friday in Crivitz.
The Tigers (3-5, 2-4 M&O) fell behind 16-0 early in the first quarter after an interception return for a touchdown and another touchdown.

The Suring High School volleyball team beat Marinette & Oconto Conference foe Niagara in five sets Oct. 8 in Niagara.
Gillett's Dylan Roberts runs away from a Lena/STAA defender during Friday's game in Gillett. Gillett won 35-8.
The combination of Alex Zeitler to Dylan Roberts has been almost unstoppable.
After hooking up for four touchdowns in a win the previous week, the dynamic duo from Gillett connected three times Friday night.
The Tigers rode the tails of their red hot quarterback-wide receiver tandem to a 35-8 victory over Lena/St. Thomas Aquinas in Gillett's homecoming game.
According to Roberts, a big reason for the success of the passing game the last two weeks has been the offensive line protecting Zeitler so well.
"(Alex) came on late in the season last year and we've been working on it throughout the summer, and we just have that connection," Roberts said.
Zeitler finished the night 11-for-12 for 146 yards. Eight of those completions went to Roberts for 138 yards.


Over the summer of 2017, the Providence Public School Department approached New Urban Arts about working with students to create a "snow day video" to announce the cancellation of school. Students Jay Nunez and Dylan Itkin were intrigued with the proposal and conceived, wrote, shot, directed, acted, and edited the video. It debuted the first week of January 2018 on the first snow day of the 17-18 school year. New Urban Arts alum Jordan Moment Also makes a guest appearance in the video is as the news anchor.
Fun Fact: the video was shot during the summer, so snow effects were added during post production. Special thanks to the Providence Public School Department and Superintendent Christopher Maher for approaching New Urban Arts with this project!
