The dollar fell as minutes from the Federal Reserve's latest meeting showed officials discussed how the strong U.S. currency was damping inflation and exports.
The greenback slumped versus all but one of its 16 major peers as the release from the Sept. 16-17 gathering noted that the dollar has "strongly appreciated" against emerging-market counterparts and climbed versus currencies of commodity exporters and the main U.S. trading partners. The Fed held rates near zero last month after slowing Chinese growth roiled global markets in August.
An appreciating dollar tends to restrain the U.S. economy by making American products more expensive abroad, while keeping down inflation by making imports less costly.
The dollar fell 0.4 percent to $1.1277 per euro as of 3:28 p.m. in New York. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index, which tracks the currency versus 10 of its major peers, lost 0.4 percent.
Money has flooded into dollar assets over the past 12 months in anticipation of the Fed's first interest-rate increase in almost a decade. That's boosted the central bank's trade-weighted broad dollar index to its strongest since 2003.

Scott Dixon Wins IZOD IndyCar Finale at Homestead
Photo Credit: Dana Garrett
Finishing off this 17-race IZOD IndyCar Series season of 2010 in Florida state, a 27-car field of North America's top open wheel racing teams assembled for the Cafes Do Brasil 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. For drivers and teams still wishing for one more major on-track accomplishment in 2010, they were left with 200 laps around the 1.5 mile oval to leave their season on a high note.
Capping what has been a marvelous season for the Penske Racing and Target-Chip Ganassi Racing squads, each team had one driver poised to become the 2010 IZOD IndyCar Series Champion. Penske's Will Power and Target Chip Ganassi's Dario Franchitti would battle through the final IndyCar round of 2010 on the oval of Homestead-Miami Speedway. Claiming first blood in qualifying with Franchitti's #10 car taking pole, Target-Chip Ganassi Racing was immediately positioned perfectly coming to green flag of the Cafes Do Brasil 300.
Though a championship race maintained hotly contested through the first-half of the Homestead-Miami Speedway event, the fight on the track among many of the IZOD IndyCar Series teams provided one of the most exciting open wheel races the oval has held. As dusk fell on the speedway for the Saturday night event, sparks coming from the underbodies of Dallara race cars were like fireworks for what would be an exciting finale to this 2010 tour.
Dario Franchitti led for the first 42 circuits of the Cafes Do Brasil 300 with teammate Scott Dixon pursuing in second place, an active fight took place 3rd place and back. Moving through the field in a hurry, 8th place starter Tony Kanaan flew this #11 Andretti Autosport to 3rd on the 20th lap. Never winning at the Homestead-Miami track, Kanaan has an 7-season long record of finishing the event which compiles to a 6.14 average race result.

Based on the fact last year's Homestead-Miami Speedway race ran caution-free, the show on the 1.5 mile oval presented very little on-track excitement. However, thanks to five cautions regrouping the field of IZOD Indy cars, the 2010 race at the Florida race track was much more dramatic than the caution-free 2009 event. Mario Moraes' suffered gearbox failure on his #32 KV Racing Technology car brought out the first yellow flag on lap 36 allowing an opportunity for all the lead lap drivers to receive attention of their pit crews. Franchitti retained the lead but the #6 Penske Racing team used a speedy pit stop to vault their driver Ryan Briscoe into 2nd place. Without the security net of his Target-Chip Ganassi Racing teammate, Franchitti was vulnerable to assault from the Penske Racing #6 car on the lap 42 restart.
Using a strong acceleration run, Briscoe blazed by Dario Franchitti to take the lead on the next lap. For what would be part one of this battle between the two, as Franchitti retook the lead the caution flag came out once more when the #24 Dreyer and Reinbold Racing car driven by Ana Beatriz met the turn 4 wall. Only the female Brazilian's 3rd IZOD IndyCar event, Beatriz reported gearbox troubles with her vehicle a few laps prior to the ultimate ending in the Homestead-Miami Speedway's retaining wall.
With the first battle cut short by the yellow flag, when the Cafes Do Brasil 300 was sent back to green on lap 51, Dario Franchitti and Ryan Briscoe had a battle for the race's lead. Swapping the lead 5 times at the start/finish line through 6 laps, the #10 Target car and the #6 Verizon vehicle were inavertedly opening the door for competition for chase down the dicing duel.
Not limited to Franchitti and Briscoe, the lead at Homestead-Miami Speedway turned in an IZOD IndyCar battle royal. Demoted to 3rd after lap 37 pit stops, Scott Dixon shot by his teammate and Briscoe to take the lead just as Tony Kanaan was also positioning himself for a run at front. On lap 69, Tony Kanaan received a reward for his effort as the #11 car surges to 1st place. Lasting only 4 laps, the lead would cycle back to Dario Franchitti on lap 73.
Within a long 85-lap stretch since the caution for Ana Beatriz's crash, the lead changed hands during green flag pit stops rewarding Alex Tagliani with a race lead on lap 98. Keeping the FAZZT Race Team car out front for 3 laps, Tagliani would come for service after a brief playtime leading the Cafes Do Brasil 300. Completing the race in 14th spot after a pit road violation cost the #77 team later in this event, the first-year FAZZT Race Team now has a season of experience with some moments of greatness to build on for 2011.
Ending the long green flag run was an incident which would ulimately decide the 2010 IZOD IndyCar Series championship. After backsliding through the early stage at Homestead-Miami Speedway out of the top-10, the #12 Penske Racing car of Will Power had been running 3rd approaching the last quarter of the race. Having to run a higher line to keep his car competitive, Power would brush the outside wall through turn 3 and turn 4 on lap 129 causing a yellow flag to be thrown a lap later. As the Penske Racing team were unable to effectively repair the #12 car, Power was sidelined into 25th for the oval race.
Fuel played on the minds of many teams through the final stage of the Cafes Do Brasil 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway as some team risked being only a few laps short of going rest of the race distance. Being solace to teams, a yellow flag slowed the field again as Milka Duno spun in turn 4. Impacting the turn 4 wall in an almost similar fashion to the #24 car, Duno too escaped unhurt from a Dallara-Honda race machine. The final caution for Duno secured the chances for all vehicles to make it to the checkered flag.
Making a conservative choice to pit, the #10 Target-Chip Ganassi Racing team brought Dario Franchitti to this pit stall for fuel and tires through the final 18 lap run to the finish. With Franchitti in 9th place on the restart, the #9 Target car of Scott Dixon led the field fending out Tony Kanaan. Stretching out a 2.76 second lead, Dixon cruised to the finish of the Cafes Do Brasil 300. Compiling three wins in 2010, Dixon's Homestead-Miami Speedway victory contributed to the New Zealander's 3rd place in the overall IZOD IndyCar Series.
As Dixon flew to victory, action since the last restart was dominated by a fierce fight that Danica Patrick brought to Tony Kanaan for the 2nd place position. Perhaps hurting one of them a chance of chasing down Scott Dixon's #9 car, the #11 and #26 ran side-by-side through the final distance as considerable ground on 4th place Briscoe assured this was going to be a two-car battle to the end for the runner-up spot. Into the final lap, Danica Patrick timed a perfect move into turn 1 to grab an edge on Tony Kanaan's car for what would be a 0.0111 second advantage. "After I crossed the line, I said it wasn't a win, but it sure felt like one. This was a great way to end the season." Patrick said perceptive the Andretti Autosport late lap dueling pleased the crowd. Ryan Briscoe and Helio Castroneves rounded out the top-5 of the Homestead-Miami finale.
A wonderful end to the season for team owner Chip Ganassi topped with driver Dario Franchitti repeating as IZOD IndyCar Series championship, the season netted 6 wins including the Indy 500 for the Target-Chip Ganassi Racing. Once again bettering the Penske Racing team in the open wheel racing series, the first full-season effort of Will Power and the later year improvements of Helio Castroneves and Ryan Briscoe provided some rich challenge on Target-Chip Ganassi Racing team race-to-race for 2010. As the Homestead-Miami Speedway ends the IZOD IndyCar season, the cars and drivers of the season will rest until the 2011 season opener in St Petersburg this upcoming March.

Así es como empiezan a cometer una serie de delitos menores intentando juntar dinero para comprar una plaza en el sindicato de electricistas. Sus intentos se ven frustrados y sus actos delictivos culminan con un secuestro en un intento por conseguir el dinero que les permita irse de su pueblo y tener una mejor vida.

Q: Crystal Reports: Display selected parameters I have a Crystal Report I made with Crystal Reports 2008 that has a parameter value that allows multiple selections from a static list.
Does anyone know how I can display on the report the chosen values from that parameter list?
The list is "Number" type and each entry has a corresponding description. I'd like to display the descriptions (there is only 4 so if I need to put in a switch or an if statement, I won't be upset).

A: A multi-select parameter is an array when you get right down to it.  The code below was tested in Crystal XI, basically it loops through each value in the parameter array and does a select/case statement to get the value.  As far as I know, you can't use the description in the code, only on screen during the parameter selection.
I put a newline carriage return between each description (+ chr(13) + chr(10)), you may want to treat them differently.
Local NumberVar i;
Local StringVar output := "";
Local StringVar paramDesc; //the current parameter's description

for i := 1 to UBound({?MyParameter}) do (
    paramDesc := "";
    select {?MyParameter}[i]
        case 1 : paramDesc := "Option 1" + chr(13) + chr(10)
        case 2 : paramDesc := "Option 2" + chr(13) + chr(10)
        case 3 : paramDesc := "Option 3" + chr(13) + chr(10)
        case 4 : paramDesc := "Option 4" + chr(13) + chr(10)
        default: paramDesc := "";
    output := output + paramDesc;
);

OhJohnNo:
Or are of differing opinions. Totally a possibility right there.
Well do we REALLY know what bob got up to in his younger days? Just sayin'.
Why is it that whenever I post I always wind up with 2-5 posts immediately one after another? Do I really type THAT fast? Do I always pop in when everyone else who otherwise would have something to say is either in the bathroom or sleeping or something? I feel like I'm always talking to myself.
Quazimofo:
In future, please combine your replies all into one post. Multiple posts are actually against our code of conduct (and just plain untidy).
JenSeven
As you may know (if you read my previous post in this thread) the 4th of May has a different meaning in other countries.
On this day in The Netherlands we remember all the people that were killed during the Second World War, and other wars, and remind the other generations of the horrors of war.
So let's put your outrage into perspective. You're angry over a few people on the internet posting a video in which they have some fun with a science fiction movie, while in another country 16 million people have 2 minutes of silence for all the victims of wars.
So, your favourite holiday of the year is ruined?
Yes, I know I made you look like a complete douche nozzle, it was intentional.
Also: I am so ashamed of you right now.
Seracen
I had no idea what to expect when I clicked...what I got was AWESOME-SAUCE!!!
Seriously guys, that's was hilarious, well done! A few minutes into the vid, I expected Chris to be Chewie...and I wasn't disappointed.
Cheers all around!!!
Endocrom
That was great, and Tarkin at the end killed me.
Nope, I did not like the video. Yes, I actually felt sick. I think that you should, for a moment, consider that people come to your website for quality videos and game / movie journalism. A lot of what is on this website "doesn't ring my personal bell", but I can typically just move on and avoid it in the future. This actually has lowered the bar so far that it hits the level of quality of some twelve year olds goofing around on Youtube. The kids can be forgiven, they know not what they do. You're not only adults, but supposed to be professionals who supposedly are supposed to have some respect for one of the great Sci-Fi franchises of all time.
Maybe I am a little sensitive because Star Wars fans are going through the Auschwitz treatment already with the prequels, and it seems like this is just kind of rubbing our noses in the terrible. You stirred a little fecal matter in our favorite soup, and I think that should be enough to make anyone sick.
Last time I checked, your website has a number of columns and articles of people who say a number of things that could be dubbed as "needlessly insulting". You don't get off the hook like the previously mentioned 12 year olds because you are professionals and should have standards for what you are posting on your website, and you now it seems like you have a very extreme case of "case dish it out but cannot take it"itis. Do you think that the people who made any of the games / movies your team bashes on don't have feelings too? So I would appreciate it if you were a little less indignant and actually earn any of the credentials towards professionalism that you clearly lost with this video.
My father can be completely secure in his love for my mother, but that doesn't mean that he should post a video whereby he trusses her up and reenacts my conception. If they wanted to have a grand ol' time reliving an amazing moment from the movies, I'm perfectly fine with it. When they begin posting it on their website, they actively open themselves the the well deserved criticism that comes with putting out such slop.
P.S. I did actually watch the tape of my parents going at it right after I watched this video to try to wipe the images from my mind. Tried the same trick after watching the Phantom Menace and JJ Abrams new Star Trek reboot. I don't know why I keep doing it... it never seems to work.
JenSeven:
Okay? If you made me look like a "douche nozzle", I certainly don't feel it. See, over here in America we have other holidays where we recognize the losses of life in wars. So if Memorial Day happens to fall on your birthday, I certainly wouldn't expect you to recognize it, but I also wouldn't press my butt cheeks into you cake and say "You should really be fine with this, because over in America we're mourning the loss of life from wars". You see how taking two things from two separate cultures and trying to compare them when they land on the same day doesn't really work?
I got butt in my cake. The Escapist put that butt in there. It was a vanilla cake, but now there is something that appears to be chocolate running down the middle. But hey, somebody's mom was just diagnosed with cancer! Children are starving in India! Little Billy down the street just found out his Dad is sterile and has no idea who his real father is!
No, you're right. We should all be completely moody and dour because crappy things are happening all over the place rather than demand some professionalism and quality work from anyone anymore. Your life must be a dark dark place.
TheBlueRabbit
While I'm not going to go all "Burn 'em at the stake" like some other people in this thread, I have to admit, I just wasn't feeling this one. Not sure why. I give you guys an A- for effort, but it just didn't tickle my taint. Sorry.
So, apparently the Escapist doesn't like it when people provide honest feedback regarding videos, even when you're calling out a video that they admit is bad. So I'm re-posting, because I don't like it when people try to bully others into silence.
Hi all. I just want to say to the Escapists who participated in making this goofy little video that I sincerely appreciate it.
When I watched this May the 4th tribute, the first thing that came to mind was that this is exactly the type of thing that I would do with my own friends. This simple little premise of taking a scene of one of the most beloved sci-fi films of our time and putting yourselves in the roles of the characters to reenact it line-for-line mixed with a bit of over the top acting and cheesy added lines.
Watching the full eleven minutes as the role of each character was introduced, I could just see how you all came to the conclusion why Lisa was Luke or why Yahtzee wanted to be Ben or why Bob wanted to be Vader based on the characteristics they display when I watch them on a weekly basis. Everything about this made me feel like I was in some way a part of this because of the community that has been built around the contributors of this site.
However cheesy or messy the production of this video was, I understand why you guys wanted to share this with us on a day that we celebrate the love we have for Star Wars. It's clear that this was a product of your love for Star Wars. I appreciate that. It reminds me of why I love this site and the people on it.
You guys are the greatest, never let anyone tell you differently. May the Force be with you, always.
blah blah blah blah
You're on a high horse. Get off.
Beyond the usual "for the love of God, lighten up", it's not the act of "providing honest feedback" that got you banned. It's the fact that you were a TOTAL ASSHAT about it. They're not "bullying you into silence", they're removing you because you have no concept of what's appropriate response to a given situation ("Auschwitz situation", what the hell...), you're rude, you're insulting, you're incredibly inappropriate (why mention that you watch tapes of your parents having sex? SERIOUSLY, WAT) and you generally aren't acting like the kind of person who DESERVES to be listened to.
Also, you didn't have to repost. We can all see the post that got you banned.
General Twinkletoes
Your posts are all within a couple of minutes of eachother in a day old thread. This is a big forum. but it's not that active that all threads have people typing out posts all the time.
Nope. Definitely just RONG.
Anakinnnn:
Anyone who didn't know you guys were goofy as hell has obviously never stuck around for most of the blooper reels on your weekly shows. Kudos, fellas.
Atomic Spy Crab
Where was Gav?
doggie015
Well; that and the fact that they obviously made another account just to evade the ban. I quite appreciated the corniness of the video and I even laughed at some of the jokes.
For the record, honest feedback, we appreciate, as is evidenced by the number of people in this thread who commented on why they didn't enjoy the video and yet remain ban-free. Raging psychosis and banjumping? Yeah, that we're not big fans of.
SonicWaffle
For the record, honest feedback, we appreciate, as is evidenced by the number of people in this thread who commented on why they didn't enjoy the video and yet remain ban-free.
In which case, although I wasn't originally going to post, I'll throw my hat into the ring.
It's not my cup of tea, but others seem to like it and so I assume you'd consider doing what some have suggested and doing Empire next year or whatever. Fair enough. However, I actually agree with the guy who said it was kinda painful to watch, and the main reason - awful, though presumably intentional, greenscreen aside - was that you guys didn't seem to have decided what you were trying to do. Was it supposed to be a parody? Then it could have done with a few more jokes and a bit less time doing what felt like a straight script reading. Felt like it relied quite heavily on "look, it's that guy from that show!" for the laughs. The only one who made me smile was Yahtzee who, intentionally or not, managed to give his lines an amusing subtext of "I could not possibly hate any of you any more than I do right now. Man, I wish I worked somewhere else" :-P
So there's my honest feedback. Make of it what you will!
SonicWaffle:
Totally hear what you're saying. Truth is, we came up with the idea wayyyyyyy too close to May 4 for this to have really worked. We never should've tried it, there just wasn't enough time. But we're a bunch of dorks and we wanted to do *something* and so that's what we did. It would've benefitted greatly from a more unified approach, but we were largely making it up as we went. It's a hot mess, but it looks pretty much exactly like what it is - a bunch of really talented people who actually like each other goofing around with some video equipment.
Uriain
Very awesome, was laughing at work so loud people were staring at me from across the office :p
Matthewmagic
Well. you guys are dorks.
Living Contradiction
I may be late to the party, but gods that was fun. :D

Well cast, well played, and, considering everything was done at great expense and at the last minute, well done. Improvisation may not have as much polish, but it can still create things of breat geauty.
Matthewmagic:
Oh, dude, you don't know the half of it.
Saarai-fan:
Gav should be the emperor!
Mr. Q
Well, that was goofy as hell. I loved Bob's Bostonian rendition of Vader. XD
Yeager942
I kept thinking, where the hell are the no right answer guys....and then I realized.
Also, Jim Sterling as porkins is probably the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
demonflowers
That was hilarious, though I am a little confused as to why Lisa played Luke. I mean, I like her Top 5 lists and all, but she's not as big on the site as Yahtzee, Bob, LRR, Jim... Wouldn't it have made sense to give other people bigger roles? Whatever, still funny.
nothingspringstomind
I really enjoyed that! It was absolutely terrible, but in that really entertaining way :)
demonflowers:
Luke's role in the first film was one of a hero's journey. Coming from humble beginnings but with great potential. Lisa's Top 5 has been on the site before, but she's probably the youngest contributor here.
Also, she's perky and eager with a high-pitched voice and a drive to take on the whole empire herself. Just like Luke in the original Star Wars!
l3o2828
That and Yahtzee probably didn't feel like recording himself acting in front of a camera.
British repression and whatnot. (His words, not mine)
Steve Waltz
I wish that Foiles had ad-libbed a bit more; her lines felt a mite dry compared to everyone elses. Still, that was very fun to watch, and must have been more fun to make. :)

Driver hits teen crossing Queens street, flees scene
Dec 14, 2017 | 12:32 AM
The 16-year-old victim was taken to Long Island Jewish Hospital, where he remains critically injured. (Google Maps Steet View)
A hit-and-run driver struck a teenager as he crossed a Queens street, leaving him critically hurt Wednesday, cops said.
The 16-year-old victim was walking in the crosswalk at Jamaica Ave. at 150th St. in Jamaica when the driver made a right turn onto 150th St. and plowed into him at about 12:30 p.m., police said.
The driver kept going and is still at large.
Medics took the teen, who suffered internal injuries, to Long Island Jewish Hospital.


Lovely thick rich mouthfeel with sweet caramel, toffee and saltiness. Slightly spicy. Can I detect vanilla and sultanas too?
Medium finish becoming bitter and dry.
Interesting this. Whilst I do agree the 21yo was sweet I absolutely loved the dryness of it which counteracted the sweetness. The 17yo was very nice but a bit overly dominated by vanilla to make it a truly fantastic whisky.
I do think this is a distillery that can really split opinions, but at the same time provide decent debate.
I'm not blown away by OP21. It's a tad too sweet for me. I like the savory aspects to OP17.

Q: Why do the aliens in the Crystal Skull suddenly become malevolent? The aliens are portrayed as explorers and knowledge seekers. When Spalko presents the skull to them, they are grateful and offer a reward.
Why does the alien suddenly become malevolent, even doing the cliche lean into the camera sneer?
Was this just Spielberg being lazy and ripping off Raiders of the Lost Ark beat by beat, with the typical "greedy blond Nazi/Russian women must die"?

A: The unsourced comment on IMDB is that:

This movie continues the Indiana Jones tradition of killing off the lead villain through paranormal means related to a consequence of the villain's own greed.

Spalko wanted all their knowledge, and she got it. Whether the aliens made a moral judgement (or even realised that she would not survive) doesn't appear to be explicitly answered.

CISA Navigation
Cyber Guidance for Small Businesses
Cyber incidents have surged among small businesses that often do not have the resources to defend against devastating attacks like ransomware. As a small business owner, you have likely come across security advice that is out of date or that does not help prevent the most common compromises. For example, odds are that you have heard advice to never shop online using a coffee shop's wi-fi connection. While there was some truth to this fear a decade ago, that's not how people and organizations are compromised today. The security landscape has changed, and our advice needs to evolve with it.
This advice is different.
Below, we offer an action plan informed by the way cyber attacks actually happen. We break the tasks down by role, starting with the CEO. We then detail tasks for a Security Program Manager, and the Information Technology (IT) team. While following this advice is not a guarantee you will never have a security incident, it does lay the groundwork for building an effective security program.
Cybersecurity is about culture as much as it is about technology. Most organizations fall into the trap of thinking the IT team alone is responsible for security. As a result, they make common mistakes that increase the odds of a compromise. Culture cannot be delegated. CEOs play a critical role by performing the following tasks:
Establish a culture of security. Make it a point to talk about cybersecurity to direct reports and to the entire organization. If you have regular email communications to staff, include updates on security program initiatives. When you set quarterly goals with your leadership team, include meaningful security objectives that are aligned with business goals. Security must be an "every day" activity, not an occasional one. For example, set goals to improve security of your data and accounts through the adoption of multi-factor authentication (MFA) (more on that below), the number of systems you have fully patched, and the number of systems that you backup.
Select and support a "Security Program Manager." This person doesn't need to be a security expert or even an IT professional. The Security Program Manager ensures your organization implements all the key elements of a strong cybersecurity program. The manager should report on progress and roadblocks to you and other senior executives at least monthly, or more often in the beginning.
Review and approve the Incident Response Plan (IRP). The Security Program Manager will create a written IRP for the leadership team to review. The IRP is your action plan before, during, and after a security incident. Give it the attention it deserves in "peace time," and involve leaders from across the organization, not just the security and IT functions. There will be no time to digest and refine it during an incident.
PRO TIP: Invoke the IRP even when you suspect a false alarm. "Near misses" drive continuous improvements in the aviation industry, and the same can be true for your security program. Never let a near miss go to waste!
Participate in tabletop exercise drills (TTXs). The Security Program Manager will host regular attack simulation exercises called tabletop exercises. These exercises will help you and your team build reflexes that you'll need during an incident. Make sure your senior leaders attend and participate.
Support the IT leaders. There are places where the support of the CEO is critical, especially where the security program needs the help of every staff member. Take ownership of certain efforts instead of asking IT to do so. For example, do not rely on the IT team to persuade busy staff that they must enable a second way to sign-in to their email by enabling MFA. Instead, make the MFA announcement to the staff yourself and keep track of the progress. Personally follow up with people who have not enabled MFA. Doing so creates a culture of security from the top.
A note on MFA: Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a layered approach to securing your online accounts and the data they contain. It's the idea that you need more than a password to keep your data and accounts safe. When you enable MFA for your online services (like email), you provide a combination of two or more authenticators to verify your identity before the service grants you access. Common forms of MFA are SMS text messages sent to your phone, 6-digit codes generated on a smartphone application, push notifications sent to your phone, and physical security keys.
Using MFA protects your account more than just using a username and password. Users who enable MFA are MUCH less likely to get hacked. Why? Because even if one factor (like your password) becomes compromised, unauthorized users will be unable to meet the second authentication requirement ultimately stopping them from gaining access to your accounts.
The Security Program Manager will need to drive the elements of the security program, inform the CEO of progress and roadblocks, and make recommendations. These are the Security Program Manager's most important tasks:
Training. All staff must be formally trained to understand the organization's commitment to security, what tasks they need to perform (like enabling MFA, updating their software and avoiding clicking on suspicious links that could be phishing attacks), and how to escalate suspicious activity.
Write and maintain the Incident Response Plan (IRP). The IRP will spell out what the organization needs to do before, during, and after an actual or potential security incident. It will include roles and responsibilities for all major activities, and an address book for use should the network be down during an incident. Get the CEO and other leaders to formally approve it. Review it quarterly, and after every security incident or "near miss". Need to know where to start? Look to our Incident Response Plan Basics two-pager with advice on what to do before, during and after an incident. To request assistance or to share information about an incident that can help protect other potential victims, you can contact CISA at https://www.cisa.gov/report.
Host quarterly tabletop exercises (TTXs). A TTX is a role-playing game where the organizer (possibly you!) presents a series of scenarios to the team to see how they would respond. A common scenario involves one employee discovering their laptop is blocked by ransomware. Symphonies and sports teams practice regularly, and your organization should, too. CISA has Cybersecurity Tabletop Exercise Tips to get you started.
Ensure MFA compliance. Yep--MFA Again! The most important step an organization can make is to ensure that all staff use MFA to log into key systems, especially email. While this task is also listed under the IT section below, it is critical that multiple people review the MFA status on a regular basis.
In addition to the advice here, we urge you to look at the information and toolkits available from our Cyber Essentials series to continue to mature your program.
The top tasks for the IT lead and staff include the following:
Ensure MFA is mandated using technical controls, not faith. Some organizations have instructed their users to enroll in MFA, but not all users complete that task. There are often MFA gaps for recently onboarded staff and for people who have migrated to a new phone. You'll need to regularly look for non-compliant accounts and remediate. Verify, verify, verify MFA stats.
Enable MFA for all system administrator accounts. System administrators are valuable targets for attackers. You might assume that they would reflexively enroll in MFA. Yet Microsoft reports that only 30% of Azure Active Directory global administrators use MFA. In many compromises, attackers were able to get a foothold on the system administrator's account, and from there they had complete access to all the company's assets.
Patch. Many attacks succeed because the victims were running vulnerable software when a newer, safer, version was available. Keeping your systems patched is one of the most cost-effective practices to improve your security posture. Be sure to monitor CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog, a list of the vulnerabilities we see attackers using in real attacks. Prioritize the vulnerabilities in the KEV. Also, where possible enable auto update mechanisms.
Perform and test backups. Many organizations who have fallen victim to ransomware either had no backups or had incomplete/damaged backups. It's not enough to schedule all important systems to have a regular backup. It's critical to regularly test partial and full restores. You'll have to pick a cadence for the backups (continuous, hourly, weekly, etc.). You'll also want to write a plan for the restoration. Some organizations experiencing ransomware attacks found that the time to restore their data was significantly longer than expected, impacting their business.
Remove administrator privileges from user laptops. A common attack vector is to trick users into running malicious software. The attacker's job is made easy when users have administrator privileges. A user who lacks administrator privileges cannot install software, and this type of attack won't work.
Enable disk encryption for laptops. Modern smartphones encrypt their local storage, as do Chromebooks. Windows and Mac laptops, however, must be configured to encrypt their drives. Given how many laptops are lost or stolen each year, it's important to ensure that your laptop fleet is protected.
There are, of course, many other IT tasks that add to a good security program. While this list is not exhaustive it does contain the top actions you can take that addresses the most common attacks.
When security experts give cybersecurity advice, they usually assume you are only willing to make small changes to your IT infrastructure. But what would you do if you could reshape your IT infrastructure? Some organizations have made more aggressive changes to their IT systems in order to reduce their "attack surface." In some cases, they have been able to all but eliminate (YES, WE SAID ELIMINATE!) the possibility of falling victim to phishing attacks. Sound interesting? Keep reading!
On premises vs cloud
One major improvement you can make is to eliminate all services that are hosted in your offices. We call these services "on premises" or "on-prem" services. Examples of on-prem services are mail and file storage in your office space. These systems require a great deal of skill to secure. They also require time to patch, to monitor, and to respond to potential security events. Few small businesses have the time and expertise to keep them secure.
While it's not possible to categorically state that "the cloud is more secure," we have seen repeatedly that organizations of all sizes cannot continuously handle the security and time commitments of running on-prem mail and file storage services. The solution is to migrate those services to secure cloud versions, such as Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 for enterprise email. These services are built and maintained using world-class engineering and security talent at an attractive price point. We urge all businesses with on-prem systems to migrate to secure cloud-based alternatives as soon as possible.
Secure endpoints
While all operating system vendors work to continuously improve the security of their products, two stand out as being "secure by design," specifically, Chromebooks and iOS devices like iPads.
Some organizations have migrated some or all their staff to use Chromebooks and iPads. As a result, they have removed a great deal of "attack surface," which in turn makes it much harder for attackers to get a foothold. Even if an attacker were able to find a foothold on those systems as part of a ransomware attack, the data primarily lives in a secure cloud service, reducing the severity of the attack.
FIDO: The MFA gold standard
Any form of MFA is better than no MFA. Any form of MFA (like SMS text messages, or authenticator codes) will raise the cost of attack and will reduce your risk. Having said that, the only widely available phishing resistant authentication is called "FIDO authentication." When an attacker eventually tricks you into trying to log into their fake site to compromise your account, the FIDO protocol will block the attempt. FIDO is built into the browsers and smartphones you already use. We urge you to learn how FIDO resists phishing attacks.
The combination of a cloud-hosted email service, secure-by-default devices, and FIDO authentication will dramatically raise the cost for attackers and will dramatically reduce your risk. It's worth considering.
In addition to those highlighted above, here are some additional resources available, at no cost, to help improve your cybersecurity.
Stopransomware.gov
As part of the whole-of-government approach to combating ransomware, CISA created StopRansomware.gov, a one-stop-shop of free resources for organizations of any size to protect themselves from becoming a victim of ransomware. If you have experienced a ransomware attack, we strongly recommend using the following checklist from our Ransomware Guide.
Reach out to our Regional Team in your local area for tailored assistance. Aligned to specific areas, the regions provide a range of cyber and physical services to support the security and resilience of critical infrastructure owners and operators and state, local, tribal, and territorial partners.

I was pleased the other day to hear my 8-year-old son come home from school and said that they had been using dictionaries in class – like with cursive handwriting, I wondered if the dictionary would be something of the past. Why look something up in a big 'ol book when you could just look it up online? I'm pleased to say he's learning both.
Did your air guitar look like Eddie Van Halen's red and white striped axe?
With the resurgence of the word yuppie in the early 80s you know the word "foodie" couldn't be far behind. A foodie is someone who views food as a hobby, and an experience rather than just fuel for the body. I would guess that 80s foodies would be into fancy stroganoffs, fancy casseroles and washed down with fancy sparkling Perrier. And maybe Jell-O Pudding Pops for dessert? Maybe not.
Like, omigod, gag me with a spoon and take a chill pill. I would freak out whenever this really cute boy Dave walked by me in the cafeteria with a giant plate full of rolls. My friends would tell me to take a "chill pill", tone it down, pull it together; basically…don't act like an idiot. Chill pill, taken. Well, most of the time.
Ok, I have to admit that this one surprised me. In high school I failed my Computer Science class, and the two geeks didn't create a woman on a computer in Weird Science until 1985…so…this one might be a mistake, Oxford English Dictionary. Check your facts.
Were you a shopaholic at stores like Contempo Casuals?
Think of all the guys with sweet mullets at the Def Leppard concert playing air guitar! And the girls at the Mötley Crüe concert workin' their whammy bars! My air guitar looked like Eddie Van Halen's red guitar with white stripes. Classic.
How could teenage girls of the 80s not have been shopaholics? Look at the totally awesome stores our malls had – Lerner, Rave, benetton, Esprit, CONTEMPO CASUALS for the love of God. And boys, you had Chess King and Oak Tree. Many a paycheck from working long hard hours at the video store was spent stimulating the economy…'80s teenage style.
Did you use your "clicker" to channel surf back and forth between your favorite 80s shows?
In the 80s you used your very high-tech remote control (or "clicker" as most everyone called it) to change the channel, or channel surf. Hang ten everybody! I can't decide what to watch so I'll just go between a little Alf, Designing Women, Perfect Strangers and LA Law. We didn't have time to watch just one show, just like everything else in the glory days excess was best – we were up for a little bit of everything.
Those foodie yuppies back in 1980 invested well in the market and became bazillionaires. I hate them!
Did you go crowd surfing at concerts?
A few years after you channel surfed you could crowd surf. I saw an REM in concert in '89, they were promoting their Green album (album…sigh.) I saw people near the stage float across outstretched arms and hands, being passed along like they were doing back floats in the ocean. It's a pretty memory.
There you have it – ten years of ten like, totally awesome words. They give a great overview of some of the major cultural and societal trends at play in the decade of excess. I'm gobsmacked that I pretty much use all of these words quite a lot today. And so do a lot of other people, based on the fact that I'm still told quite a bit to take a chill pill.


Via Philly sports blog Crossing Broad, comes this interesting story about a possible confrontation involving eccentric San Francisco Giants pitcher Brian Wilson. And if it's true, we might see it on Showtime's Giants docudrama, The Franchise.
A man named "Jordan" claims to have spotted Wilson, who's currently in Philadelphia playing the Phillies, leaving the Ritz Carlton on Penn Square and being greeted by fans.
Before we go any further, we should point out: this is all unconfirmed. Crossing Broad's Kyle Scott qualified his post by saying "every detail Jordan gave me about who he was and his very honorable profession checked out." And we can't really think of a reason a person would make this up. Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled programming.
Jordan, a Phillies fan who describes himself as a "5'9" Jewish fellow wearing slacks and a tucked in shirt," noticed that the autograph seekers who greeted Wilson were decidedly overweight, and decidedly male. So he did what any self-respecting Philly sports fan would do.
Wilson promptly stopped signing autographs, and approached Jordan. Keep in mind, Wilson was being followed by Showtime's camera crews - they're currently filming The Franchise. So Wilson, with camera crew right there, apparently "stared [Jordan] down" and "cocked his fist behind his head." Jordan flinched, of course, which prompted this response from Wilson.
Showtime then asked Jordan if he'd be willing to sign a release form so the incident could be shown on TV. He did, which means that next Wednesday at 10pm, we might see Brian Wilson punk out a man wearing tucked-in slacks.
UPDATE: A spokesperson for MLB Productions (which is working in conjunction with Showtime on producing the program) says of the alleged incident described above that "none of the producers...are aware of any such situation taking place," so take that for what it's worth. As for us, we're still hoping that this comment is just an attempt to keep the element of surprise in play, and that 1) the Wilson incident happened; 2) we see it for ourselves. We wouldn't get out hopes up too high at this point, though.

Orange's Banner Year
Predictions had the '22 as "Orange's Banner Year." After all, 1921 ended with a scene described as a "miracle." Cow Bayou had turned into a river of oil.
The Orange Daily Leader on January 31, 1921, was full of stories about the biggest gusher found yet in the Orange Oil Field outside of town along Cow Bayou. Ed Cahill, president of the Orange Chamber of Commerce predicted the "banner year" as the city would grow with the oil discoveries.
The full banner headline of the daily newspaper read "Gulf Will Drill On East Bank Of Cow Bayou." Four wells were planned with a levee to save the oil waste.
The levee would be handy. "Cow Bayou Once Stream Of Water Is Now River Of Oil," read another headline.
The Humble (Oil Company) Chesson No. 5 was the cause of all the excitement. It was sending 30,000 barrels a day of "liquid gold" spurting out. The gusher on December 31 was not under control and "pure pipeline oil" was going into the bayou.
"Changing from a river of water into a surging stream of oil over night may sound like a fairy story," the news story read. "Such a miracle has happened in the Orange oil field."
The Oil Field Buss (sic) Line had open air buses leaving Orange for the oil field four times a day. The line also had four returning trips to take workers.
The gusher had been a nice Christmas holiday gift for Orange. The city had a 1920 population of 9,212. That was a 66.7 percent increase from the 5,572 people ten years earlier, thanks to a shipbuilding boom in World War I. The oil discovery would lead to more people.
Christmas had been prosperous for most of Orange. Children's toys like "trains, drums, Ouija boards" and "dolls, dolls, dolls" were at Orange Variety Store, "The Red Front Store on Fifth Street."
Joe Lucas Jewelers and Optician offered a women's 15-ruby wristwatch for "only $15." (About $220 in 2020) Another downtown jeweler and optician was H.L. Cohenour, who sold items like watches, diamonds, and ivory.
Griggs' Book Store on Fifth Street had stationery, novelties, and Christmas cards. Sabine Supply Company at Fourth and Front was the "store of practical gifts." A basketball was $15, an electric chafing dish was $19.50, a flash light was $3.10, and an "automatic Remington shotgun" was $75.50.
For those less fortunate at the holidays, the Leader newspaper had an Empty Stocking drive and listed donors. Orange Rotary Club gave $400, the Elks donated $25, and the Orange Ku Klux Klan No. 51 sent $100.
Two days after Christmas, the Orange school board presented the 12 members of the Orange High School football team sweaters with team Captain "Speedy" Wilson thanking the board.
1922 ended up the biggest oil year for Orange. Joshua Bland had first seen oil in that area in 1903, but it was another decade, in 1913, when he hit oil. Other small successful wells came in 1918, but it was in 1921 when gushers were hit.
The Orange Oil Field grew into a boom town and the community known as Orangefield.
The USGS Geological Survey Bulletin No. 845 reported a few years later that by the end of 1930, only 86 wells were in the Orange oil field producing a total of 790,000 barrels a year, less than half the amount that flowed in 1921-22.
A century later, eyes in Orange are still looking toward an oil company for a banner year. Will 2022 be the year Chevron Phillips announces the construction for a new petrochemical plant here?

I wanted to do something a little different in this post. I've been blogging for two years now, and even though I still have so much to learn, I've learned a lot along the way. Some of these things I wish I knew when I started so I thought it would be helpful to share these 5 blogging tips with you guys who are thinking about starting a blog or who are trying to grow their blog.
When you are starting your blog, it is important to know your "why." And what I mean by that is why do you want to create a blog. What is your blog's purpose? What kind of resource do you want to be for others? If you are not sure, start with what you know. What do you love? What is something that you would love to share with others?
Do you love fashion? Fitness? Cooking? Travel? The possibilities are endless. Pick something you enjoy. Once you have something you can focus on, it will make it easy to plan content, especially if you are super excited on what you are writing about. I have always loved fashion and putting outfits together, so I started a fashion blog. Find out more about why I started a fashion blog here.
Growing a blog and social media is hard work. It does not happen overnight. Sometimes I feel like I'm just stuck and not getting anywhere, but I always try to look how far I've come and to set realistic goals. My tip is to be consistent. On Instagram, I try to post everyday. For the blog, I try to post at least twice a week, but that is something I'm trying to work on this year. Being consistent is key. The more you post, the more growth you will see. It might be slow and steady, but growth is growth!
In order to grow, it's important to engage with others. When people see you are engaging with them, they will engage back. Take the time to reply to your comments. Leave genuine comments on other people's photos. Read others' blog posts and let them know what you liked about it. When people see you are putting an effort, they will see that and most likely reciprocate back.
I really started to see growth when I found a community of other fashion bloggers who were just like me. I joined a blogging community called Style Collective. It is a platform for female influencers to connect, grow, and learn how to be successful bloggers and entrepreneurs. I have met so many amazing and supportive girls that I am proud to call my SC Sisters! If you are a blogger and are interested in learning more, click here! Having a community is great because you learn and support each other.
Whenever I'm suffering from the comparison game, I like to read that quote over and over and let it sink in. You should focus on your blogging journey. Focus on your goals and remember why you wanted to start a blog in the first place. Don't worry about anyone else. YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH!

Marty Walsh is no Scott Walker
November 15, 2015 Erika Sanzi
Boston Mayor Marty Walsh finds himself in the cross-hairs over his commitment to improving his city's public schools and his belief that charter schools are an integral part of achieving that goal.
Perhaps the silliest assertion laid at his feet in recent days comes from a short blog by Charles Pierce at Esquire that accuses Walsh of "pulling a Scott Walker." He borrows this line from the anti-reform Diane Ravitch blog and it is defined as "pulling a fast one once you're elected that you never made a part of your campaign." He goes on to to impugn charter schools and those who fund them, referring to them as "grift" and "wingnuts" while also accusing Mayor Walsh of having said that he wants to close 36 schools.
It's certainly natural for ideologues to escalate when they don't get what they want, not unlike a toddler when he hears the word 'no.' However, the facts simply aren't on their side and their personal attacks are predictable since they cannot honestly argue this on the merits. Given that national studies have identified Boston as having the highest performing charter sector in the country, it would be reckless for the Mayor not to include them in a process specifically designed to make all Boston schools high performing.
But to compare Marty Walsh, a former union laborer and head of the Boston Building Trades Council, to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is absurd. While Walsh has been successfully negotiating new contracts with police officers and firefighters during his short term, Scott Walker has been actively fighting against collective bargaining. The comparison isn't even a stretch – it is just plain wrong.
During the mayoral campaign in September of 2013, then Candidate Marty Walsh testified to lift the charter school cap, and voted as a state legislator in 2010 to lift the charter cap . He made no secret of his support for school choice then and no one who should be surprised by his support of charter schools now, often touting that he was a founding board member of Neighborhood House Charter School in Dorchester. Like Boston Superintendent Tommy Chang, Walsh sees collaboration with charter schools as one essential piece of the puzzle to make Boston Public Schools the best they can be for all families, not just some families.
Mr. Pierce uses content from another anti-charter blog in his Esquire piece. In her blog entitled Public School Mama (an ironic title since charter schools are public), the blogger takes issue with the following statement made by Mayor Walsh, which she alleges was made while speaking about school consolidation and closures.
It's going to be controversial in some ways, but it's going to be the right thing to do to make sure that our young people get the best education, in the best buildings, with the best principals and the best teachers in this city," he said.
I'd imagine that even his harshest critics would be hard pressed to find any city leader doing a facilities audit who doesn't subscribe to the same opinion. With changes in student populations and housing patterns, aging buildings, a rapidly changing economy, and a fiscal responsibility to taxpayers, it would be irresponsible for him, or any Mayor, not to consider all options.
But considering all options is not the same as saying you want to close 36 schools and Marty Walsh has never said that. There isn't a single reputable source to which anyone can attribute that claim but the anti-charter and anti-universal enrollment parent crowd has seized upon it in the hope that it will get them what they want.
Here's the best thing they have: In off the record meetings with parents, BPS officials have intimated that the mayor wants to get the Boston Public Schools down to 90 buildings.
Source? "BPS officials," not Mayor Walsh.
When? No date provided.
Where? Also missing.
Names of Parents Present? None listed.
So what is driving these parents? This faux controversy around what some anonymous allegedly 'intimated' really began with a FOIA request around the Boston Compact, a collaboration of district, charter, and parochial, and the issue of universal enrollment, the opportunity for a parent to fill out one application for one lottery for schools. This parent group is opposed to universal enrollment, an initiative in principle supported by Mayor Walsh, Superintendent Chang, and Governor Baker that would allow for districts and charter schools to share an enrollment system. The documents that came out of the FOIA request included the names of funders. Then, opponents decided to connect their own dots, specifically the above unattributed quote and two distinct policy initatives, facilities and enrollment. In doing so, they created a narrative that is not only false but also incredibly self serving.
The truth is that Mayor Walsh is committed to the master planning process and in looking at that plan, there is not a single mention of closing 36 schools. He, along with schools chief Tommy Chang and other city leaders, have committed to looking at the entire ecosystem of BPS to evaluate how to best re-configure schools so that they serve students and families for the quickly changing economy in which we now find ourselves. The reality today, in 2015, is that charter schools (along with magnet schools) are part of that ecosystem.
Margaret Mead is famous for saying that we should never doubt the power of a small group of people to change the world; it is one of my favorite quotations, actually. But it's unlikely that she she had in mind a small group of upper middle class parents on Twitter fighting to take school choice and universal enrollment policies away from their own city's poorest families when she said it. These parents may have a neighborhood school they love but many low income parents in Boston are literally desperate for more choices. They don't care what kind of school it is; this isn't political for them. They just want their children to get the same education as the children whose parents earn far more money than they do. And the Governor, the Mayor, and the Superintendent are right to be working hard to make that happen.

Lynnell Mickelsen says:
Great post, Erika! I love Charles Pierce—he's one of my favorite political writers and he's also one heckuva sports writer– but whenever he writes about education, I just roll my eyes. He sounds so white, so clueless, so privileged and out of it
How come the CPRE talks about identifying buildings, closing schools, and rolling out charters then? Did you read all the timelines? Walsh may not have said it but that doesn't mean a non-elected group should radically change a system. Whatever happened to the School Committee rolling up its sleeves and doing the work itself? The new superintendent presided over just such a process in LA, perhaps rolled out differently, but same outcome.


From the point of view of style, trying to make our appearance special is natural, in a world where all clothing items are manufactured on a large scale and look the same. Using simple elements could improve your appearance and create a unique style, even adapting old pieces of clothing in a modern way. Elements such as ribbons are perfect to create a distinct look, especially if what you are looking for is to create a feminine and romantic look. You can buy large quantities of ribbons from specialist retailers, and let me tell you, they have amazing everyday tapes in their stocks. The great thing about it is that you can really get some great offers. These elements can also be used to customize your appearance on the day of your wedding, even the elements of the heart you have. However, for more details on how you could use such simple elements, read on below.
& toro; African braid & ndash; for this simple hairstyle you will need two pieces of ribbons, longer than the length of the hair, in two different shades, an anti-frizz serum, flat-colored hairpins to match the hair and an elastic for hair. Brush the hair thoroughly, apply a small amount of anti-frizz serum and bind the two pieces of tape together. Then tie the hair with the ribbons, exactly where they are tied together. Part of the hair in two sections. Those, combined with the ribbons in your hair will create three sections, which you will have to weave normally. If the ribbons form a much thinner filament, add more hair.
& bull; Half-up / half-down with ribbons and nash; this is really a simple hairstyle, and you'll only need a piece of ribbon in a color that contrasts with your hair color, a wide curling iron, an elastic hair band and a little hairspray. Start by curling your hair in soft, large curls. Then divide the hair into the top of the head and fix them with the rubber band. So, on the top of your rubber band, tie the ribbon into a beautiful bow. Finish the look with a little hairspray and that's it!
& bull; Half-up / half-down with braid & ndash; yet another simple idea you could use is turning half of the previous hairstyle into a fishtail braid. The headband and ribbon will go to the end of your braid this time. It's a nice turn that you could add to a simple hairstyle.
All these hairstyles offer a great visual impact to any outfit you choose. The integration of ribbons into regular hairstyle is such a simple way to offer them some of their personality.
2. Integrals in your wardrobe Fortunately, you do not have to spend a fortune if you want to customize your clothes. There is an alternative to tape integration and the results are amazing!
& bull; beautify your purse & ndash; Normal bags with metal handles can easily become a romantic version of themselves by wrapping them around a piece of ribbon. Choose one in a color that complements your purse and enjoy the compliments you will receive!
& bull; Create a dress with bow in hemic & nash; the word game is intended. However, you can make a bohémien dress even more special if you tie a bow in life. Put the dress and simply choose a ribbon of a color that you like. So tie it in the back of the dress and that's it!
& bull; Prepare a pair of boots & ndash; Using a simple bow, you can create a unique look for a pair of boots. Just wrap it around your ankles and tie an arch out of it in the back. A pair of more feminine and romantic boots is waiting for you!
& bull; Add curvy curves to a wide sweater and ndash; use a thin piece of ribbon to tie the sweater on the back or front, where you prefer. Use a piece of ribbon in a contrasting color for a greater impact.
& bull; Make your favorite pair of sandals even more special! Use a piece of ribbon and turn them into a pair of amazing and fun T-strap sandals.
These are some of the easiest ways you can use tapes to customize your appearance. It's a simple, fun and inexpensive way to do it!

Turkey will no longer use 'tulip' in promotion logos
December 03 2018 17:09:00
Umut Erdem – ANKARA
Turkey is planning to introduce a new theme and a logo for its tourism and cultural promotion, abandoning the symbolic tulip in advertisements and "Turkey Home" campaign.
The Culture and Tourism Ministry announced an advertising tender, to be held on Jan. 8, 2019 in Berlin, to create a new branding identity, a new slogan and a new logo for Turkey, aiming to shift the country's traditional image with a modern one.
The five-year advertisement campaign, "Turkey Home," is planned to be petered out.
The newly appointed director of general promotion, Timuçin Güler, a former vice president of fuel retailer OPET, decided to initiate a tender to conduct and develop Turkey's advertising campaign abroad.
In accordance with the new advertising campaign, Turkey's branding identity and the promotion strategy is to be updated, the promotion logo and its subsequent slogan is to be improved, sub-campaigns, focusing on different aspects of tourism, intended for different target groups are to be developed and four TV commercial scripts are to be created to highlight features of Turkey's tourism.
Turkey's long-standing "tulip" logo is to be changed with a simple, plain and unique one that is easily translatable. According to the tender's conditions, the new logo should not cause confusion with any other existing logo and should be prepared in 32 different languages.
Turkey's effort on shifting the orientalist approach with a new modern one of high quality is aimed to change the perception of Turkey as a prestigious and well-liked country. The new advertising campaign is intended to increase the tourism volume to 50 million in 2019. The projected tourism volume of 2018 is 41 million. The ministry seeks to increase the share of tourism revenues in gross national product to 7-8 percent.

Ушки () — традиционные пельменные изделия литовской, польской, русской и украинской кухни. Небольшие по размеру, по форме несколько напоминают уши (отсюда и название). Начинка обычно делается из мясного фарша или же из грибов, сегодня также из шпината и сыра. По размеру и форме ушки отличаются от перогов (польских вареников). В отличие от большинства других видов пельменей, ушки с грибной начинкой (без мяса) подаются обычно в супе, чаще всего в борще, но могут подаваться в томатном супе и ряде других. Реже подаются в качестве самостоятельного блюда или гарнира, сдобренные маслом и, иногда, посыпанные специями, такими, как чеснок.

В Польше борщ с ушками является традиционным блюдом на сочельник. Еврейский аналог ушек, происходящий из кухни польских евреев, носит название креплах.

White House physician Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson, the guy who claimed Donald Trump weighs 239 pounds and has "great genes," and who withdrew his name as a candidate to run the Department of Veterans Affairs due to several scandals, has been newly promoted by the Trump White House.
According to CNN, Jackson will serve as Trump's chief medical adviser and as an assistant to the president. Additionally, the White House has resubmitted a request to the Senate Armed Services Committee for Jackson to be promoted to a two-star admiral.
Both of these moves come as Jackson continues to be investigated by the Defense Department's inspector general over allegations that he excessively drank on the job while head of the White House medical office and recklessly doled out prescription drugs.
He also allegedly wrote himself prescriptions and wrecked a government vehicle while intoxicated. All of this was enough to force him to withdraw from the process to head the VA, a job that would have required him to manage a federal bureaucracy with some 400,000 employees.
Of course Trump still likes Jackson. Following Trump's first physical as president last year, many suspected he fudged Trump's height and weight to make the president appear less obese. He also praised the president for having passed a generic cognitive test that asked him to identify simple wildlife animals, among other things.
Later, an anonymous White House official told CNN that "Trump liked the way Jackson handled himself with reporters," so he nominated the doctor to be VA secretary.
Trump's next annual physical is scheduled for Friday at Walter Reed. This time, he will be examined by Dr. Sean Conley, the president's new doctor.
According to reports, the Senate will not decide whether or not to grant Jackson's promotion in rank until the Pentagon concludes its ongoing investigation.
