The Brothers Bloom
Director Rian Johnson
Starring Mark Ruffalo, Adrien Brody, Rachel Weisz, Rinko Kikuchi,
Release 15 MAY 2009 (US) 4 JUN 2010 (UK) Certificate 12A
With The Brothers Bloom, writer/director Rian Johnson (Brick) firmly cements his reputation as one of the most original and daring cinematic voices of his generation.
Brick was an audacious and wholly brilliant genre mash-up, presenting a detective yarn that evokes the hard-boiled crime stories of Mike Hammer, and dropping it squarely into a high school that feels like it was ripped right out of a John Hughes movie. The film effortlessly navigated both genres, thanks in large part to Johnson's assured direction, which is especially impressive considering it was his first feature.
That confidence is evident once again in The Brothers Bloom, though this time Johnson forgoes the gimmick in favour of presenting a straightforward tale reminiscent of Wes Anderson films - you could even argue Johnson manages to outdo Anderson at his own game. Like most entries in the modern indie scene, The Brothers Bloom is quirky and precious (not to mention a bit twee at times), but it also manages to be mature, engrossing, and utterly original.
[gallery]Adrien Brody and Mark Ruffalo play the titular siblings, a pair of literate con men who travel around with their selective mute sidekick, Bang Bang (Rinko Kikuchi), setting up elaborate schemes to bilk unsuspecting rich folk out of their fortunes. Bloom the younger (Brody) is tired of this vagabond life, and is determined to go straight, but elder brother Stephen (Ruffalo) convinces him to stick around for one last job. Their target this time is Penelope (Rachel Weisz), a lovely and lonely woman who lives in a huge mansion and spends her days collecting hobbies (it's not as lame as it sounds).
Unfortunately, the con doesn't go as planned, as Bloom finds himself falling for the eccentric Penelope, and Stephen learns that their former mentor Diamond Dog (Maximilian Schell) has resurfaced and is trying to muscle in on their territory. As events continue to spiral out of the brothers' control, they quickly realise that this job may be beyond even their formidable skills, and it's going to take every ounce of their cunning to pull it off.
Johnson's screenplay presents a complex and labyrinthine story that unfolds in a breezy and fun manner, and the tight direction ensures that the plot is easy to follow, yet it still maintains enough surprises to keep viewers on their toes. Johnson walks a fine line throughout the film, establishing a sense of quirk early on, but never allowing it to veer into obnoxiousness. More importantly, the characters all feel genuine and fully realised in spite of the heightened and highly-stylised sense of reality that surrounds them, and thus the viewer becomes more fully invested in their predicament. Johnson makes sure to keep the film moving at rapid pace, and even the calm scenes are edited in such a way that they feel dynamic.
It helps that the cast is uniformly excellent, delivering powerful performances that bring Johnson's story to life in larger than life manner that is nonetheless totally believable. Adrien Brody serves as the sympathetic heart of the film, playing a character plagued by melancholy and the knowledge that he is slowly but surely losing his identity to the fictions crafted by his brother. The character could easily come off as passive or weak, but Brody manages to keep him likeable, and imbues him with enough of a sense of forward momentum that his arc feels fully satisfying by the end of the film.
Mark Ruffalo demonstrates yet again that he deserves to be considered one of the best actors working today. He portrays the character of Stephen with a mixture of suave cunning, overbearing confidence and a sly sympathy that makes him the kind of character you can't help but loving, even though he'd just as soon steal your wallet while wrapping you in a loving embrace. Rachel Weisz rounds out the cast, imbuing Penelope with an outward sense of adorable naivet� that nonetheless exists alongside a profound intelligence. As with everything else in the film, her character could easily have come off as insufferable, but Weiss manages to keep her firmly on the side of endearing and lovely. It's an excellent performance in a film full of them, and it's a testament to Weisz' abilities that she manages to stand out.
All in all, The Brothers Bloom is a light and fun film that is thoroughly enjoyable, but at the same time is deeply substantive and wholly assured. With only two features under his belt, Rian Johnson has established himself as one of the most unique voices in American cinema, and his films are undoubtedly the result of a very singular and original vision. It would be easy to dismiss The Brothers Bloom as just another entry in the crowded quirky indie film scene, but to do so would be a disservice; the film is very much of that genre, but it also manages to transcend it, and stands as a testament to the genius of a truly brilliant filmmaker.

Thoughts while I'm thinking about something else
August 31, 2014 Elan	Leave a comment
Fred showed up at the play reading sweaty and irritated. He had slept poorly the night before, and it showed on his face and his roughly cut beard. His clothes were strewn together in a way that said "fashion." His diet had taken a sudden turn: the week before he had watched his carb intake, avoided dairy, and ate a lot of raw protein all the while running 2 to 3 miles a day. This week started the same… he made a salad of lentils, kale, and quinoa – that would last him the whole week of rehearsals, but instead ate the entire bowl while watching reruns of the bachelorette — which wouldn't have been so bad except for the buttermilk dressing he added to every serving (of which there were six). And except for the ice cream. And the Chips Ahoy with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. He felt like a fat piece of shit, and instead of reading over the play and breaking it down into scenes, breaking the scenes down into units of action, breaking the units of action down into into beats and moments — he knocked on his neighbors door.
"We don't have anymore pot."
"That's not what I wanted."
"What did you want, Fred? The only time we see you is when you want pot."
"Or, when you run out of coffee."
"Or, when you come home drunk and knock over our garbage cans."
"All right, can I buy some pot off you?"
"All out."
"Can you smoke me out?"
"This is the last time."
Fred spent the next twenty minutes watching Deadliest Catch with his lesbian neighbors on their grey Jennifer Convertible couch while their Jack Russell Terrier (Ezra) watched him in silence.
"Ezra's a very strong name."
"It's from the Bible."
"Oh, yeah?" said Sandra, lowering the volume. "Who's Ezra?"
"Ezra….?
"You know so much about the Bible. Who is it?"
"Ezra was the blacksmith."
"The baker."
"There were no bakers in the bible."
"Well, we have matzah. So—"
"That didn't exactly bake."
"Someone made an effort to heat up food."
"Well he's not the fucking baker."
"Ezra the banker."
"Lawyer."
"Ezra the Sheik. The prophet. The scribe."
There was a pause and Sandra turned Deadliest Catch back up to full volume which Fred thought signified he got the correct answer.
"I don't like smoking pot with you."
"Thanks," said Fred, standing up.
"Can you take out our recycling on the way?"
Fred went back to his house and noticed his roommate sitting at the table outside smoking cigarettes with some girl. This guy always has different women over. He picked his head up a bit and watched how this woman threw her head back and laughed. Her blonde hair stuck to parts of her face, and as she put the cigarette into her mouth — pieces of her hair were sucked into her lips. Fred took out his key.
"Neil!"
"It's Fred."
"Doesn't matter."
"Have you met my girlfriend?"
"Hi. My name is Bernadette."
"Hello, Bernadette."
"Hello, Fred."
"Bernadette is unsure what she wants to do with her life."
"Don't tell him that."
"She just got here ten minutes ago. She was over on H Street. She marched."
Fred didn't say anything.
"The Ferguson march. For the guy that was shot. That was fucked up."
Bernadette didn't say anything.
"That's cool that you walked."
"Thanks, Fred."
Fred wished he was dating Bernadette. He would be so good to her. He would give her space to grow, and not pressure her about the future. She would blossom like a flower. She would bloom out of the concrete and their children would be polite and well spoken and—
"Do you want me to take that for you?"
Fred looked down and saw his neighbors recycling bag in his hands.
"Fred, stop staring. You're going to make her uncomfortable."
"I wasn't staring."
"It's okay if you were," said Bernadette.
"No, I just smoked pot. I was spaced out."
"You weren't just staring at me?"
You weren't thinking about me?"
"What? Definitely no."
"You don't want to sit with me? Have coffee with me sometime? Get to know me. Live with me in a house and watch me play with our children, and make salads for them — and then for us all to go on a run and say 'dad, you can do it. We believe in you. I believe in you. You're not a nobody. You're a —'
Fred woke up in his bed with an opened bag of Doritos and a copy of his play folded roughly under his side. He then went to sleep, and was now sitting at a square table in a rehearsal room with the entire cast and crew — sweaty and irritated.

Looking around Philip Navarre's office is like looking into Michigan's past. Of course, the office is filled with the trappings of his busy solo practice. But the office also contains some of the tokens accumulated by his family over the many decades it has been in Michigan.
Leaning against a shelf behind Navarre's desk is a cane that was given to Navarre's grandfather, Joseph A. Navarre Sr. upon his graduation from the University of Michigan Law School in 1930. It is striped ebony, with a silver inlay depicting scales of justice and a block "M." A "3" and a "0" rest on the scales to signify the year of his graduation. Joseph A Navarre Sr. came to Jackson in 1942 to work with a local firm. In the 1950s he was called on by Governor Gerhard Mennen "Soapy" Williams to act as Michigan's Insurance Commissioner.
"He basically rewrote the insurance code," Navarre said of his grandfather. "And a lot of what he did is still in place today."
In the early 1960s, Joseph A Navarre Sr. went into business with Russell E. Noble, and the two of them built their own practice. They continued until 1974 when Noble was appointed to the Circuit Court bench. Navarre says one of his grandfather's memorable cases was an employment law matter which he took on pro bono.
"My grandfather represented a man who was upset he had been demoted at work," Navarre said. "The client was a street cleaner on Mackinac Island. He was demoted from cleaning the main street to cleaning a side street. My grandfather thought that anybody who takes that much pride in his work deserves some help."
"My father never steered me in this direction," Navarre said. "But I think he was very happy and proud to practice with me for 15 years."
The bigger influence in Navarre's decision to go into law was Judge Noble. The judge encouraged Navarre into law and hired him on as his law clerk and bailiff after graduation from the University of Michigan. Navarre worked for Judge Noble from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and took classes at Thomas M. Cooley Law School from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
"I got to see how things played out in the real world, and not just in some book," Navarre said.
Obviously books are also integral to the practice of law, and Navarre's family has had influence in this regard as well. On a credenza behind Navarre's desk rests an original copy of "Negotiable Instruments." Published in 1905, it was authored by Navarre's great-grandfather, University of Michigan law professor Robert E. Bunker.
Navarre's present practice tends toward the technical. With an LL.M. in taxation from Boston University School of Law, Navarre is qualified and confident in complex estate planning matters as well as formation of limited liability companies. As a general practitioner, he handles a lot of family law matters having served as a council member of the Family Law Section of the State Bar for eight years. He also handles occasional misdemeanor criminal defense. One of the highlights of Navarre's career is marked by a framed certificate which signifies his admission to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States.
But across the office, on a writing desk, is maybe the most fascinating, and oldest of the Navarre clan relics - a copy of a deed signed on June 3, 1785. The document, written in French, deeded land from the principle chiefs of Potawatomi Indians to Navarre's ancestors, Francis Navarre and James Navarre.
And more Navarres are continuing in the Jackson area. Navarre and his wife Elizabeth have five children and two grandchildren. Navarre doesn't know if his practice will continue to another generation. Like his father, Navarre isn't steering anyone toward law.
"He always told me to be good at what you do, and enjoy what you dc," Navarre said "Because you are going to be doing it for the rest of your life."

People who have recently received a diagnosis of a blood cancer often have questions about the disease, the prognosis and the treatments available. This section of the Web site is arranged to provide information to answer some of these questions and assist patients in finding additional resources.
It is important to learn about the disease, but also to learn about your insurance coverage, healthcare facilities and how to obtain support for yourself and your family. Specific questions may also be answered by information specialists at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Foundation.
The word diagnosis means to distinguish or identify a disease. Patients usually arrive at the doctor's office with a series of complaints or symptoms. Through questioning and examination the physician may also observe abnormal 'signs', such as an enlarged spleen. The results of laboratory tests provide further information. The accumulated evidence leads the physician to a decision about the final diagnosis.
Patients who receive a diagnosis often wish to learn more about the disease and the tests used to determine the diagnosis. This section is here to assist.
Once a diagnosis of a blood cancer is determined there are several questions that patients and families should consider asking their physician.
What tests or additional studies will be required to arrive at a diagnosis?
What is the usual approach to treatment?
Are there new treatments being developed that may be useful to consider?
Several other examples are shown in the information shown below.
When I meet with a specialist, what should I ask?
Is care covered by my insurance plan?
Are you a member of any professional societies?
Are you experienced in treating leukemia, lymphoma (or other blood-related cancer)?
Where would I receive my treatment?
Is your hospital, cancer center, or clinic accredited and experienced in treating blood cancers?
Am I eligible for stem cell transplantation?
Are there local facilities to obtain a stem cell transplant?
How long would I usually have to wait for appointments or returning of my phone calls?
Are you or a member of your staff always available in case I have questions or problems?
Will there be nurses, social workers, and case managers available to help me with my physical needs and quality of life concerns?
If pain becomes a problem, how would we manage it?
Am I eligible for a clinical trial? Are there any clinical trials available through your hospital, center, or clinic?
Are there any other oncologists specializing in blood-related cancers with whom you would recommend I speak?
In addition to these questions, you can ask anything else about your disease, treatment, and personal issues you would like. You will want to feel comfortable discussing your concerns with your oncologist throughout your treatment, and this is a good place to start. It is also a good idea to request a copy of your medical records.
Again, you may find it helpful to bring a family member or friend to participate in the discussion, take notes and provide support. This will allow you to relax, knowing that if you miss anything you can confer with the other person later.

Tallinn :Flora TallinnLevadia TallinnNõmme KaljuJK Tallinna Kalev

La saison 2018 du Championnat d'Estonie de football est la  de l'élite du football estonien.

La troisième place en Ligue Europa est réservée au vainqueur de la Coupe d'Estonie, ou au  du classement final, si le vainqueur de la Coupe a terminé le championnat parmi les trois premiers.

Participants

JK Sillamäe Kalev  lors de la saison précédente n'a pas obtenu de licence pour cette saison, le 4 novembre 2017 le FC Infonet Tallinn annonce sa fusion avec le FCI Levadia Tallinn.
Les deux clubs sont remplacés par le vainqueur de la deuxième division, Maardu Linnameeskond et le deuxième, JK Tallinna Kalev.

Your vote will help counter any fictitious claim, and demonstrate that nationally U.S. voters absolutely preferred Joe & Kamala. Thank you for responding to our appeal to build the popular vote total!

Statement to the 26 September 2020 PDX for Basic Income Event
Announcements, Celebrations, Community Action, Latest Info / By Lurelle Robbins
The Democratic Party of Multnomah County, Mission and Vision states –
"We envision and Demand a government designed by the people and for the benefit of the people."
At this moment we demand a return of the dividends due, we the people, who have over the past 40 years contributed our hard earned funds and delayed our profits as the money has been shifted and shared upwards to the wealthy among us. Trickle down never trickled down – rather it provided mechanisms by which our money flowed up to the wealthiest among us. $2000 NOW is the beginning of the return on our investment.
With houselessness and evictions and unemployment on the rise
With too many people struggling even before the current crisis as a result of 40 years of decreasing wages and increasing disparity
With CEO's and the dramatically wealthy like Jeff Bezos and Amazon, like Bill Gates and Microsoft, like Google and Facebook and Home Depot and Fauci and Trump in control of our narratives
We the people are left struggling. If we are making zero or $20,000 or 50K or even 300K it is nothing compared to the trillions that of dollars flowing into the hands of Jeff Bezos and friends.
It is time to demand $2000 NOW and I call upon each of us to spread this message to our friends and neighbors across the country and to our legislators. When an uprising of people and their demands and calls for relief truly get loud – then and only then will something happen. $2000 NOW.
Congress struggles to pass an 1800 page bill that would dole out money at the top and mollify the lobbyists, but what about, we the people who have been funding their largesse?
We believe that 1800 pages are not needed to solve this crisis. We can say it in one sentence.
"The US Treasury will disburse $2000/ mo to every US resident for a 12 month period to provide relief to the people and to stimulate the whole economy."
$2000 NOW $2000 NOW Today we are here to demand action and to spread the message of uprising for change. But first we must recognize that the Native Americans and American Descendants of Slavery have endured this struggle far longer , for 100s of years, and let's remember that reparations must be made to create a more equitable future for all.
The $2000 NOW dividends will repay us all for the 40 years of declining wages and theft or shift of our wealth upwards.
Let's not forget that the 2008 crisis lead to a bailout of the banks, who then thanked us by taking many of our homes through foreclosure, only to resell them to wealthy investors like Blacstone and others. DID WE GET OUR DIVIDEND – NO! IT is time for $2000 NOW.
Now with covid and then the fires across Oregon and with the struggles for justice in our streets our people, our neighbors and our small businesses are shutters, houselessness increases and Bezos and the wealth get trillions of dollars in rewards. IT IS TIME FOR $2000 NOW
With the top 3 families currently having the wealth of the bottom 50% or 1 ½ billion people we have given away our income and our wealth and we must demand a return of our investment.
Demand the 1 sentence bill. Demand $2000 NOW. Check out HB 6496 and SB 3784 and make them known by calling for action. Spend your money locally, grow mainstreet and our neighbors not wall street.
Please join me in thanking Chelsea Wilkinson and PDX for Basic Income and Mark Nerys, who leads our Basic Rights study group for all their efforts. I would also like to thank Neil Goodman, Mitch Rofsky – who is taking this message to the Biden transition planning team and to Faith Ruffing, Bobbi Yambasu and our Congresspersons Bonamici and Blumenauer for co-sponsoring HB 6496

The monthly amount shall be phased out for individuals whose adjusted gross income exceeds $130,000 ($260,000 for joint return filers). The payments must begin within 14 days of the enactment of this bill.
The bill allows such monthly payments for individuals who are not U.S. citizens or residents, but have been physically present in the United States continuously since January 27, 2020 (the effective date of the public health emergency resulting from the COVID-19 [i.e. coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic), and continue to be physically present in the United States throughout the duration of the payment period.
If Treasury does not have sufficient tax return information to make payments to an eligible individual, it shall consult with the Department of Veteran Affairs and the Social Security Administration and any agency making pension or annuity payments to such individual.

In Memory and Honor of the Service of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
How do we define courage?
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was courage personified. From her earliest efforts to gain equal opportunities for women, to her many career accomplishments, to her strength in standing up to extremists on all sides, and in facing the reality of her illness with her choice to pursue the most extreme treatments.
Ginsburg persisted on a steady path, proactively seeking justice and equal rights for women but never stooping to pettiness, recrimination, or unprofessionalism. She became a powerful dissenting voice and a role model for younger generations of women.
As Democrats we can honor The Notorious R.B.G. and grasp a bit of that courage to devote some small part of our lives and time to carry on the battle for justice and equal opportunity for all.
Can we, as fellow Dems, reach out to grasp just a bit of that courage? Can we each individually devote just a part of our lives and time to similarly carry on the ongoing battle for equal opportunities for all, for justice, for all our democratic ideals?
In her memory, in her honor!
Ginsburg in 1977
Multnomah Democrats statement on violence and protest
We support the work of the Black Lives Matter movement and its mission of re-imagining police and ending systemic racism.
We join with Black leaders in condemning the violence of agitators who claim they are committing violent acts in BLM's name. It does not serve Democracy or the causes of justice.
We condemn both the police over-reaction and the right wing violence in our community, both of which have gone ignored for years, damaging our communities.
We wholeheartedly support and unanimously endorsed the ballot measure to change how the Portland Police Bureau is held accountable.
Multnomah Democrats Statement on the Systematic Oppression and Murder of Black People
We seek healing and justice for the families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, all families in Portland who have experienced similar trauma at the hands of police in the past, and for our society that has not healed the wounds of systemic racism or even recognized how it uses the police for continuing oppression.
There is much that needs to be said about the current time we're living in, too much to cover in a single message but it is so critical that we must not delay in expressing our compassion, solidarity, and support for our community.
Once again we are called to reflect upon the recent murders of Black men and women by a system that continues to assault without repercussion. Some are called to protest and to grieve at the injustice while others do not recognize that any problem exists. Hundreds of years of systemic racism continues to fester in our society.
During this time, please consider reaching out in support of our communities of color: seek out and support the black and brown businesses, lend support to Don't Shoot Portland, Black Lives Matter, The Urban League, The Portland NAACP, Portland African American Leadership Forum, The Black Resilience Fund and the many other organizations of our black community.
Kareem Abdul-Jabaar has said that "Racism in America is like dust in the air. It seems invisible — even if you're choking on it — until you let the sun in." We have all breathed it into our lungs.
If you are a person of color and interested in having a place within the Democratic Party of Multnomah County, know that you are welcome. As an all-volunteer organization we seek to overcome injustice with activism, to welcome the struggle and stand with you as together we demand equity.
We pledge to do our part to make Black Lives Matter a reality.
On Election Day, Bernie's Message Still Resonates for Me
Announcements, Commentary, Latest Info / By Lurelle Robbins
Today in Oregon and in Multnomah County we vote in our Primary Election. Most of us have voted by now, but for all who have not yet turned in your ballots remember to drop your ballots off before 8 PM tonight at an official drop off site.
Bernie Sanders inspired many of us to envision a world where all residents could thrive, a world where a living wage and health care for all were the norm. That vision will continue. It is now up to us to come together, more than ever, at the local party level to demand that we the people, working together, take on the powers and money that would keep us from a better world for all.
In his speech announcing the suspension of his campaign and endorsement of Joe Biden, Bernie reflects powerfully upon the the work we are called upon to continue; making a better world and empowering all people.
He also evokes one of my favorite quotes:
It always seems impossible until it is done.

Eliminating Vendor Risk Is a Critical Step to Win Back Consumer Trust
June 24, 2019 By Publishing Executive Industry Bylines
Eliminating Vendor Risk Is a Critical Step to Win Back Consumer Trust33Across2019-06-24T12:13:07-04:00
You don't have to work in ad tech (or even advertising at all) to know that there's a growing sense of distrust around how people's personal information is being collected, used, or misused by the various content, commerce, and online service providers they interact with every day. But publishers have a front-row seat to the drama as it all unfolds – and an added layer of responsibility, given the direct relationship between users and their content.
With the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in effect and with a look ahead to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), it's important for publishers to consider a potential consumer trust issue of their own: what third-party partners and vendors are doing with their data.
You're Only as Safe as Your Partners Are
To be clear, many publishers have already stepped up their privacy game. Whether it's to stay compliant with new regulations or actively regain public trust, legacy and digital-first publishers have raised the bar on internal privacy standards, moved toward restricting access to their user data, and worked to secure their systems against breaches and attacks.
Unfortunately, implementing these changes alone is not enough. Not when publishers rely on a host of third-party partners to help keep everything – from video players, to content personalization tools, to programmatic ad deals – functioning effectively.
Each of these partners has its own approach to data collection and usage that needs to be added to the publisher's overall privacy equation.
Since cutting ties with all third parties isn't exactly a simple (or realistic) solution for most publishers, partnering with service providers on a privacy action plan – one with overarching standards, but with enough modularity to work across multiple vendors – is a straightforward way to help eliminate that risk.
1. Standardize the Vendor Selection Process
Keeping consumer data sacred starts with being highly selective about whom you work with. Rather than asking ad-hoc privacy and data usage questions, develop standardized questionnaires as part of your vendor selection process. Ask prospective partners pointed questions such as:
What data will you collect from us?
What is the purpose for collecting this data?
What controls and safeguards do you have in place to ensure data is handled properly?
Will you share our data with other third parties? If so, with whom and why?
Furthermore, only work with vendors that have received industry certifications from trusted third-party auditors. And of course, put a process in place to revisit each vendor's data management approach on an annual basis and as regulations change.
2. Get Technical and Business Leaders on the Same Page
Obviously, technical subject matter experts such as the CTO and CPO, and regulatory experts like Legal should play a significant role in managing vendors' data privacy compliance. But the responsibility shouldn't stop there. Protecting user data and preventing leakage requires input from key stakeholders in disciplines like sales, marketing, and even platform support.
Business leaders often own the day-to-day relationship with the vendor, and thus have an on-the-ground perspective that the technical experts may not. As a result, they can be more aware of the intricacies of the relationship than the technical experts alone.
Similarly, platform support and sales leaders may have an understanding of site glitches that could be compromising user data, and examples of how, when, and why privacy shortcuts might have been taken in the past.
Privacy and trust are far too important to be relegated to technical leads only, so keep business leaders looped in from the beginning to ensure full coverage and alignment.
3. Plan and Communicate
Trust, of course, is built on communication.
Be transparent with customers about the partners you work with, the data they use, and how you're working with partners to keep everyone's data safe. Ideally, this info comes as part of a broader education campaign about how you're putting customer privacy first in your data initiatives.
Meanwhile, the sheer volume of consumer data in play means that missteps are unfortunately inevitable. This makes having clear emergency protocols and plans for handling worst-case scenarios – including how to communicate details to customers – a critical step in the process.
Throughout these communications, be sure you're conveying information in simple English, not technical jargon or legalese. To see how it's done right, learn from some of the brands noted for doing it best.
Remember That You Don't Need to Go at It Alone.
Use trusted vendors as a resource for best practices and as trusted privacy guides. At a minimum, they'll be able to help you better secure data through their own systems. They may also give you fresh perspectives on how to choose other vendors wisely, and can provide critical support in driving better data standards industry-wide.
With the right approach to partnerships, publishers can leverage vendors as allies (as opposed to bearing with them as potential risks) in the fight to win back customer trust.

Talbot to help Flyers make NHL history as eighth goalie used this season
By Sean LeahyMar 1, 2019, 12:18 PM EDT
Exactly two weeks after the Philadelphia Flyers acquired Cam Talbot from the Edmonton Oilers, the 31-year-old netminder will finally debut for his new team.
Talbot was the odd-man out after the deal, sitting in the pressbox for his first three games as a Flyer. Since Carter Hart's injury, he's been backing up Brian Elliott. Friday night he'll finally get a start and help make NHL history in the process.
When the puck drops against the New Jersey Devils with Talbot in net, the Flyers will become the first NHL team to use eight goalies in one season. They had been stuck on seven since Mike McKenna's start in early January and tied with the 1989-90 Quebec Nordiques, 2002-03 St. Louis Blues and the 2007-08 Los Angeles Kings.
Flyers interim head coach Scott Gordon was one the seven who got a turn in goal for that Nordiques team.
Here's a look at the games played for each of the eight goalies the Flyers have used this season:
• Carter Hart – 22
• Brian Elliott – 19
• Anthony Stolarz – 12
• Calvin Pickard – 11
• Michal Neuvirth – 7
• Alex Lyon – 2
• Mike McKenna – 1
• Cam Talbot – 0
The opportunity for Talbot arose because Friday's game is the second game of a back-to-back following Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Philadelphia is still clinging to slim playoff hopes with a six-point gap between them and the Carolina Hurricanes, who hold the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.
Talbot hasn't played since Feb. 9, but is certainly eager to get back between the pipes again. Hart is expected to return soon, so who knows when Talbot will get another look after Friday. In the meantime, enjoying making history!
"I don't know if it's something you really want to be a part of as a goalie or not," Talbot said on Thursday via the Inquirer. "But here we are."

Trade: Flyers add Talbot, Oilers open up space for Sekera
By Sean LeahyFeb 16, 2019, 12:30 AM EDT
Cam Talbot is lucky No. 8.
The Philadelphia Flyers added Talbot to the fold late Friday night, acquiring the 31-year-old goaltender from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Anthony Stolarz.
Should Talbot get into one of the Flyers' final 25 games — which he likely will — they will be the first team in NHL history to use eight goalies in a season. That just shows how weird this season has been on Broad Street. After some early season struggles, which saw general manager Ron Hextall and head coach Dave Hakstol fired within a 21-day span, they've ripped off a run that has seen them take 23 points from their last 14 games, putting them eight points out of an Eastern Conference wild card place and the third seed in the Metropolitan Division.
Emerging from the goalie carousel has been Carter Hart, the franchise's goaltender of the future up until Dec. 17. He's assumed the title of "goalie of the now" since after helping the Flyers win eight starts in a row and being a vital part of their recent run.
Talbot, who can become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, comes to Philadelphia with an established relationship with Hart. The two have worked out together in the summer. "He's a good mentor, a great guy, a good goalie," Hart said on Thursday, adding that he called Talbot the night before his NHL debut for some advice.
This stablizes the goalie situation for the moment as Brian Elliott works his way back from injury down in the AHL on a conditioning stint and Michal Neuvirth is currently on injured reserve. In net had been Hart and Stolarz, the 25-year-old who was their second-round pick in 2012. Mike McKenna's been in the mix as well, but he's only played twice since Dec. 28.
GM Chuck Fletcher will now get a good couple of months to see up close if Talbot, who's posted a .909 even strength save percentage in 31 appearances with the Oilers, should be considered for an extension beyond this season and possibly act as a veteran backup/1B to Hart going forward.
This move for the Oilers helped them shed salary in order to have room to activate defenseman Andrej Sekera, who had surgery in August to repair a torn Achilles tendon. Stolarz can be a restricted free agent this summer, while they already have Mikko Koskinen locked up after extending the netminder for three years in January.

Could a Hart and a Lyon be the future in Philly's crease?
By Scott BilleckJul 8, 2018, 5:54 PM EDT
It's a place where goalies go to die.
Just ask Ilya Bryzgalov, who famously said as much when talking about coming to the Philadelphia Flyers in the lead up to the Winter Classic in 2012 against New York Rangers.
'Bryz' righty predicted his own fate, sharing the same doom as many others who came before him in the City of Brotherly Love, falling off the map not long after and never finding his way back.
Recent memory hasn't been kind to the Flyers at the goalie position. They once had Sergei Bobrovsky, but traded him, essentially, for a bag of pucks to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
There, Bob went on to supplant Steve Mason in goal and win two Vezina's.
Mason ended up signing with the Flyers and managed a decent season in his first year. But from there he started to spiral downward. This summer, after an injury-plagued season with the Winnipeg Jets, who signed him last summer as a free agent, was bought out by the Montreal Canadiens following a trade right before Free Agent Frenzy kicked off as the Jets looked to dump salary.
We can go back further, too.
There was the Robert Esche era, the Antero Niittymaki experiment, Martin Biron, Brian Boucher and a host of other failures in the Flyers' crease.
Last season, Brian Elliott wasn't exactly earth-shattering acquisition that the Flyers hope he'd be when they snapped him up for two years a year ago. And backup Michal Neuvirth, who might have the potential to be a starter in the NHL, can't stay healthy for long enough to see it through.
It leaves the Flyers in a precarious position, despite a stable of goaltenders heading into this season.
Both Elliott and Neuvirth's contracts will expire at the end of this season. The Flyers signed Alex Lyon to a two-year deal on Saturday, ensuring the guy who helped the Flyers into the playoffs last season down the stretch would be around to fight for a spot in the NHL next season (and provide some much-needed depth should Neuvirth go down, again).
The Flyers seemingly have their ace in the hole in Carter Hart, a highly-touted 2016 draft pick out of the Everett Silvertips of the Western Hockey League.
Hart led Team Canada to a gold medal the World Junior Hockey Championships this past winter and was named the WHL's Player of the Year, the WHL Goalie of the Year and the Canadian Hockey League's Goalie of the Year (for the second time) this past season — his last in junior hockey.
His junior stats put him among the pantheon of CHL's best ever to man the crease.
And all of that has led to a hype train going full-steam ahead for Flyers' fans, who've been starving for a legitimate superstar netminder for years, if not decades.
It remains to be seen what general manager Ron Hextall does with Hart this season but managing Hart's progression as a pro is paramount.
The last thing the Flyers want to do is rush Hart and stunt his growth. Elliott and Neuvirth can hold down the fort for another season, allowing Hart to get a year of pro hockey under his belt in Lehigh Valley, while having Lyon ready to answer the call should someone get injured on the big club.
If the Flyers move Neuvirth via trade, Lyon seems the de facto replacement to back up Elliott, still leaving Hart time to hone his craft in the minors.
There's hope, it seems, in Philadelphia.
There has been before.
Whether or not this time is any different, only time will tell.
Hart's going to have to handle more than just his on-ice game as he works his way into the NHL. Lyon showed some good signs last year under pressure late in the season.
For now, they're the future beyond next season.
Perhaps, finally, the curse can be broken for Flyers' fans.
What's your take, Philly fans?

Desperate for goaltending help, Flyers acquire Petr Mrazek
By Scott BilleckFeb 19, 2018, 10:31 PM EDT
The deal: The Philadelphia Flyers acquired goaltender Petr Mrazek from the Detroit Red Wings for a conditional fourth-round pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft and a conditional third-round pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.
Why is Philadelphia is making this deal? Simple: With the injuries to Brian Elliott (out five-to-six weeks with a core muscle injury) and Michal Neuvirth (out indefinitely with a lower-body injury), the Flyers had Alex Lyon, a veteran of just four NHL games, left to shoulder the load. Philly needed help after Neuvirth went down on Sunday and they went out and got it in 25-year-old Mrazek. The Flyers are currently third in the Metropolitan Division. Even with their six-point cushion from the second wildcard spot, relying on a rookie to see out the rest of the regular season could have been met with disastrous consequences.
Red Wings retaining half the salary in the Mrazek trade with Philly.
— Craig Custance (@CraigCustance) February 20, 2018
Why is Detroit is making this deal? Sam Carchidi of Philly.com said Flyers general manager Ron Hextall had spoken with the Red Wings about Mrazek prior to Neuvirth's injury, but the Detroit Free Press reported that the Flyers turned down a deal that would see a third-round pick go the other way. With the Red Wings being sellers, and with Hextall even more desperate for help after Sunday, he had no choice but to fold to Detroit's demands.
So the minimum DET gets for Mrazek is a fourth-round pick, that could become a third- or a second-round pick, dependent on how Mrazek/Flyers perform. The additional pick, a third-rounder, is conditional only on Mrazek re-signing in PHI.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) February 20, 2018
Who won the trade? Pretty even. The Red Wings get a couple of picks over the next two years as they rebuild their team. The Flyers get immediate goaltending relief and perhaps an upgrade on the oft-injured Neuvirth. And Flyers fans will like that the team didn't overpay to fix their problems. A good move from Hextall.

GAO developed this guide to help analysts and policymakers identify and evaluate instances of fragmentation, overlap, and duplication, and identify options to reduce or better manage associated negative effects. This guide is a supplement to the annual reports.
Each of the four steps includes detailed guidance on what information to consider and what steps to take when conducting a fragmentation, overlap, and duplication review.
The table below provides links to the four steps of the guide, relevant tip sheets and tools, and an appendix illustrating how to use the guide.
3: Validate the effects of the fragmented, overlapping, or duplicative programs and assess and compare programs.
4: Identify options to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of programs.
Each section provides guidance on making decisions to reduce or better manage any negative effects of fragmentation, overlap, and duplication. Specifically, this guidance is intended to help policymakers consider the information that analysts compile on fragmented, overlapping, and duplicative programs, including performance and cost information. In addition, it can help policymakers make decisions when limited program or performance information is available.
The table below provides links to the policymaker sections of the guide and an appendix with additional options to consider.
