I hunger for you (2018)
Info & Press Kit
I hunger for you Trailer
In I hunger for you, deeply internalized forces of faith, violence, life force, and compassion pulse through bodies that exist in a mesmerizing, starkly beautiful, often dangerous world. In a world defined by light and its absence, the work looks deeply into the heart of the impulse to lose oneself in ecstasy, ritual, desire, and searching, riding an edge of barely controlled abandon and vibrating stillness.
I hunger for you is a two-phase work. I hunger for you was presented during BAM Next Wave Festival 2018 following World Premiere performances at LUMBERYARD Center for Film and Performing Arts, as part of an inaugural year BAM/LUMBERYARD partnership. The project will continue with I hunger, commissioned by New York Live Arts for spring 2020, developed during NYLA's Live Feed Residency Program.

A groundbreaking approach to healing from trauma and experiencing posttraumatic growth from a leading psychologist, featuring a powerful, five-stage framework to help readers not just recover, but thrive and transform.
Trauma has always been part of the human experience, and traumatic events—both physical and emotional—can shake our very foundation and leave us forever changed. While we know more about the lasting neurological and physical effects of trauma than we did a decade ago, few people realize that experiencing trauma doesn't have to sentence you to a lifetime of suffering and grief.
In this first book of its kind, renowned clinical psychologist Dr. Edith Shiro shares a powerful, five-stage framework for posttraumatic growth, a transformational process that helps you not just heal, but achieve growth and expand consciousness in the face of trauma. Inspired by her grandparents, who were refugees and Holocaust survivors, Dr. Shiro has dedicated her life to individuals, families, and communities facing trauma and its aftereffects. Developed over more than twenty-five years of research and practice, Dr. Shiro's stages—Awareness, Awakening, Becoming, Being, and Transforming— provide a universal language and outline how trauma can be a catalyst for transformative growth.
Grounded in science and psychology, and filled with practical tools and takeaways, The Unexpected Gift of Trauma offers a bold a new definition of trauma, touching on individual as well as collective and intergenerational trauma. Dr. Shiro brings the power of posttraumatic growth to the forefront and reveals a groundbreaking new way to think about and heal from traumatic experiences.
Dr. Edith Shiro is a clinical psychologist in private practice in Miami, Florida. She specializes in trauma and posttraumatic growth, holding space and guiding her patients to achieve greater potential and higher consciousness. Dr. Shiro is co-founder of the Trauma and Resilience Center, board member of the World Happiness Foundation, and an active member of Cadena International, providing humanitarian aid and disaster prevention worldwide. She has worked at the Clinic for Survivors of Torture at Bellevue Hospital, the Cambodian refugee clinic at Montefiore Medical Center, and the Human Rights Clinical Support Network at REFUGE, among others. She continues to offer workshops on trauma-based therapy for mental health professionals since 9/11. She is a frequent guest on various TV shows, podcasts, and radio programs.
"The Unexpected Gift of Trauma is a roadmap for dealing with, and ultimately growing from, hardship. Based on rigorous research and compelling case studies, Edith Shiro has written a book that can help us all in difficult times." — Tal Ben-Shahar, New York Times bestselling author of Happier
"Thanks Dr. Edith Shiro for this masterpiece that has been meticulously put together during so many years of deep research and practice. It is a roadmap to humanity's collective healing." — Luis Gallardo, author of Happytalism and Founder and President of the World Happiness Foundation
"An absolute gift. Each reader leaves with the understanding that transformation is possible and that there is a clear path to achieve it, expertly and tangibly laid out. As difficult as the road ahead is, The Unexpected Gift of Trauma can act as a companion guide for each step of the journey." — Shelly Tygielski, Founder of Pandemic of Love and Author, Sit Down to Rise Up
"Tragedies carry not only histories of pain, limitation, and loss, but openings for creating something new. Edith Shiro, in her powerful new book, beautifully maps the creative processes that transform constriction to flourishing in the aftermath of individual and collective traumas." — Jack Saul, Director, International Trauma Studies Program

About Elisa
I am fan
NPC assistant at the Paralympic Games
On a Monday morning my Brazilian taxi driver Marco (pessoa de confianca – a trustworthy person) waited for me at the airport. The sun was shining and I missed the city after a study session in Oregon USA. We passed the beach of Barra to the family's house. In the meantime Marco bought me pastilles for my nasty cough. What a service! After a good lunch and fresh shower I came back in my volunteers uniform. Time to go to the Paralympic village and see my delegation!
The ritual at the village repeated: check in, pass the security, take the lunch voucher and check in at the NOC/NPC Services Center. I had no delegation yet, but to find one was not that difficult because of the lack of volunteers. The minimum of 3 volunteers each delegation could not be delivered. There was a long list with the names of the delegations, their number of assistants and how many assistants they preferred to have. We checked the list and decided that I would be assigned to Sri Lanka. I got a working mobile phone and the numbers of the other volunteers and Chef de Mission. First task was to recharge the battery and get in touch with the delegation!
My volunteers work started the next morning. I was expected in the delegations' office in one of the condominiums in the village. Rajeeva Wickramasinghe was a friendly Chef the Mission and brigadier in the Sri Lanka army. He welcomed me in the team. Sri Lanka has a small delegation with 9 athletes (1 female and 8 male) and a few people around them (like the team manager and coaches). In Sri Lanka para-sport is closely connected with the army. It's a method to revalidate wounded soldiers. A lot of athletes have war-related handicaps or were soldiers themselves. Learn more about the team here.
Or first destination was to support archer Sampath Bandara Megahamulea in the Sambodromo. Normally it's the place to celebrate Carnaval. Now arrows were flying trough the stadium. Archery is a nice sport to see. Especially at the Paralympics it's amazing to see people handling the bow and arrows even with no arms. In this discipline people in wheelchairs are mixed with standing people with other disabilities. Unfortunately, the tensions made Sampath ending in the first round. The Chef de Mission talked to him in a positive manner: bring this experiences to your next games!
Boccia and wheelchair fencing
In the afternoon we traveled to Barra Olympic Park to watch some other sports. For the first time in my life I saw boccia. I thought it was boring until I was excited about how a shaking body could throw the ball so precise! Amazing! The next game was wheelchair fencing. For me interesting because I'm a fencer myself. Now I could explain the rules to the Chef de Mission.
Olympic Stadion: bronze medal in javelin for Sri Lanka
The Olympic Stadium was the last destination of that day. Two athletes participated in the athletics discipline javelin. It contains a few rounds and your best result counts. This took some time and other competitions passed by at the other venue parts. This gave me the opportunity to see Ananias Shikongo for the first time. He ran the second heat of the 200m T11. It was a great experience to see him qualifying for the finals!
Also for Sri Lanka it was an exciting competition. Herath Mudiyanselage Dinesh Priyantha Herath won a bronze medal in javelin! His team mate Ketawala Gedara Gamini Ekanayake finished 9th out of 12. It was beautiful to see how the delegation discussed their results in the end of the day. The delegation was so proud and give compliments to all their athletes who competed that day. This week I would return a lot of times in the Olympic Stadium. Not only to support Sri Lanka but also to see Ananias Shikongo winning one gold and two bronze medals.
Sunday the team had a day off and we visited the famous Christo statue. We returned on time for the collective departures of the delegations to their closing ceremony. Before leaving the village we had to make a lot of pictures of our wonderful team! I enjoyed the closing ceremony with my fellow volunteer Marcos in the Maracana Stadium. It was a wonderful show despite of the tropical storm that passed the city. It was very windy and you could take a shower outside! After the ceremony we had to run to our car and we were totally sodden. The rain made us feel fresh again after a very hot day. We had a long journey back to the village because of the traffic. In the middle of the night we joined the party for the athletes. It was cozy and a lot of people were dancing. People in wheelchairs, small people, blind people, people from every corner of this world. But above all: happy people!
Monday was our last day with the delegation. It was surprising that everybody was still looking fresh after the party. We went to the shopping center for the last presents and a heavy amount of chocolate! The moment of departure came closer. The keys of the delegation's van and car had to be returned after a funny inspection (Marcos lost the car keys during inspection and found them back in his pants after 15 minutes). We also had a small hearth attack because our Chef de Mission forgot his accreditation and was not allowed to reenter the village. Fortunately I could bring his pass from the condominium. Just in time! The luggage and bags were collected on trolleys. The whole delegation was ready and on time for the bus to the airport. But where was the Chef de Mission?! After a phone call I found him at the NPC Services Center. Saying goodbye to everybody who has helped him these weeks. We had to hurry!
With a short delay we dropped our delegation. As volunteers we felt empty when they were gone. We had a great time together during the games, but we felt also a relief that the long days and hectic were over. Now it was time to check the rooms and collect the keys. It took a long time, talking about all our wonderful experiences. Until the moment that you have to return your mobile phone and get the certificate. Than I realized: it's really Game Over now!

A unit of Abu Dhabi Financial Group has made a fresh offer for the rights to manage Abraaj Group's funds, challenging a bid from Cerberus Capital Management, according to people familiar with the matter.
Abu Dhabi Capital Management told Abraaj's liquidators it would pay $55 million to buy the rights to manage Abraaj's funds and cover end-of-service payments for employees, the people said, asking not to be identified as the information is private.
Cerberus had bid $25 million, people familiar with the matter said previously.
Representatives for Abraaj's liquidators declined to comment. ADFG didn't immediately respond to requests. Abu Dhabi Capital Management made a $50 million offer to the firm's financial adviser around the time the court-led restructuring process started, according to people familiar with the bid.
The collapse of Abraaj, once one of the developing world's most influential investors, came months after some of its stakeholders began an investigation into mismanagement of money in its health-care fund. The 16-year-old buyout firm filed for a court-supervised restructuring last month.
The companies managing the restructuring had been reviewing bids from Cerberus and Colony Capital, people familiar with the matter have said. Of the two, the liquidators preferred the lower offer from Cerberus, and Colony's bid for the fund management platform was turned down, people familiar with the matter had said.
Cerberus's proposal includes about $5 million for the funds platform, while the rest would go toward payments to employees, according to people familiar with the matter.
Abu Dhabi Financial Group, with assets of more than $6 billion, is controlled by investor Jassim Alseddiqi. The group is known for its premium real estate holdings, including a development of 72 London luxury apartments neighbouring Buckingham Palace. Through its Goldilocks fund, the firm has made investments in energy producer Dana Gas and commodities trader Noble Group.


As a younger woman in real estate, one of my favorite things to do is help my peers and fellow first time homebuyers. It wasn't all that long ago that I didn't know the first thing about buying a home. How much money do I need for a down payment, what are closing costs, should I buy a detached home or a condo... there are so many variables and things you need to know!
I want to empower as many people as I can to become home owners, as I think it is a wonderful investment and a much better use of money than renting. Since I think education is so important, I'm hosting a Home Buying 101 Seminar with Mortgage Broker Saopon Cha of Cha Mortgage. She is incredibly knowledgable about home buying programs and the mortgage process and shares a similar love for educating buyers. We are so so excited to host this class!
Please share this post with any friends or family members you have in the area! Even seasoned buyers could use a refresher, and loan programs are changing all the time. Please RSVP so we have an idea of how many people to expect. See the below flyer for more information, and I hope to meet you there!!

Going to Ecuador? 11 things travelers should know first
Kate Whitehead, for CNN • Updated 5th April 2017
(CNN) — When people think Ecuador they think the Galapagos and while those enchanted islands are incredible there's a lot more to this Andean country.
Adventure seekers will love the active volcanoes, Romeos will make the most of the cheap red roses and fine chocolate and anyone with a sense of the fun won't want to miss the chance to stand astride the hemispheres with one foot planted on either side of the equator.
1. 'Middle' monument is in the wrong place
Ecuador is named after the equator that runs through the country. One of the must-do tourist attractions is to stand astride the line that marks the middle of the world -- just make sure you pick the right spot.
The "Mitad del Mundo" monument was built in 1979.
It's an impressive 100-foot statue about 15 miles outside Quito and has a bold yellow line supposedly marking the line of zero degrees latitude.
The only problem is that it's actually 240 meters off. We know this thanks to accurate GPS readings that many of us carry around in out pockets.
A new tourist site has been created, this one with a red line that marks the planet in two and a sign that proudly declares: "Latitude: 00º 00' 00" calculated with G.P.S.

2. Coca leaves -- a great cure for altitude sickness
Quito is at 2,800 meters above sea level and it's not uncommon to feel short of breath or have a mild headache when you first arrive.
Symptoms of altitude sickness can be worse if you head higher into the Andean mountains without acclimatizing.
Drinking plenty of water and avoiding alcohol and caffeine would ease the symptoms.
And Diamox works well, but takes two days to kick in.
Coca leaves -- sold in small neighborhood stalls -- are a useful quick fix, as is coca tea.
Just remember to ditch any coca leaves before you fly home -- it's illegal to bring them into the United States and many other countries.
3. Roasted guinea pigs are a delicacy
Known in the local Kichwa language as cuy, the furry little creatures are flattened and roasted whole over an open fire.
You won't find them on every restaurant menu in Quito.
This is a premium priced specialty dish served in only a handful of the capital's eateries and in the countryside. A whole roasted guinea pig costs about $20-$25. It has a gamey flavor not unlike rabbit and is usually served with potatoes and corn.
Cuy are so highly prized that a mating pair is considered a valuable wedding present in the countryside.

4. World's largest exporter of fine cacao beans
Much like wine, chocolate reflects the terroir or flavors of the region where it's grown. Ecuador's diversity of terrain, rich volcanic soil and location on the equator make for fine growing conditions.
Plant the same Arriba bean in Ecuador and Africa and the Ecuadorian cacao will have a more complex, refined taste.
As the demand for more flavorful chocolate has risen, so Ecuador has become a hot destination for chocolatiers and tour operators are getting in on the act.
Metropolitan Touring recently teamed up with Pacari chocolate to launch a two-day tour into the Amazon to visit a cacao farm, see the harvesting process and even get involved in grinding the beans and making artisanal chocolate over an open fire. (+593 2 298 8312)
5. Roses are cheap
It costs $2.50 for 25 long-stemmed red roses. Direct from the greenhouses, 25 can be grabbed for as little as $2 -- making it cheap for anyone to be a Valentino.
The rose industry only started about 20 years ago, but within a decade it was third only to oil and bananas.
With ideal rose-growing conditions, Ecuador is also ahead of the game in terms of producing new varieties.
6. This is a land of volcanoes
Ecuador sits on the so-called "Ring of Fire" on the edge of a very active tectonic plate.
Just south of Quito two parallel chain of Andes that cross Ecuador from north to south rise in dramatic peaks. This stretch of summits is known as "The Avenue of the Volcanoes" and it's worth getting a window seat as you take off from the capital to witness the spectacle of the snow-capped volcanoes.
Tungurahua just south of Quito has been one of the most active volcanoes on the planet for the last few years.
In Kichwa its name translates as "Throat of Fire" and it has been erupting since 1999, most recently last April when it let rip a spectacular plume of ash several kilometers high.
7. Parents pay to have kids beaten with nettles
Not some form of child abuse but a traditional healing practice said to purify the soul. A kind of detox, it's available for adults as well as kids.
The folk remedy involves stripping down to underwear and being whacked with nasty stinging nettles to chase out negative energy.
Next the healer deploys a good thrashing with a bundle of herbs, including laurel and mint, to help soothe the sting. Finally, there's a rub down with rose petals.
Casa Gangotena (Bolivar Oe6-41 y Cuenca, Quito; +593 2400 8000), which prides itself on offering authentic local experiences, can arrange the half-hour ordeal for $40.
8. The sharks are friendly
Seriously. Sharks in the Galapagos are so well fed that there's no need for a cage to swim alongside them -- and that's a real buzz.
This includes all sharks, not just the native Galapagos reef shark which can reach three meters in length, but also whitetip reef sharks common throughout the archipelago.
Even the more formidable hammerhead sharks are safe.
They're not interested in a human lunch because there are such rich pickings to be had in the crystal clear waters.
While Galapagos sharks eat mainly fish, the more powerful ones have been known to eat other sharks, sea lions, turtles and iguanas.
Amazing animals: Wonder in the Galapagos
9. Those headhunting stories are true
Tribes in the Amazon once cut off their enemies' heads in the battlefield and "shrank" them.
A tribe called Shuar who live in the region of the Amazon basin that straddles Ecuador and Peru continued the practice until the 1950s.
Shrinking heads was a complicated procedure associated with deep spiritual beliefs and traditions.
Only those with a strong stomach need read on.
The first step involved peeling the skin away from the skull, using a knife to work the flesh away from the bone.
The skull was then discarded and the head boiled for 30 minutes -- which shrank it to about one-third its size.
Anyone with a macabre interest in mini-heads can see some at the Intinan Museum (Manuel Cordova Galarza, Quito; +593 2-239-5122).
10. The Panama hat is actually from Ecuador
So why is a traditional toquilla straw hat from Ecuador called a Panama?
The straw came from Manabi on the west coast of Ecuador, which is where Eloy Alfaro was born.
He went on to become the Ecuadorian president from 1842 to 1912 and made his fortune making toquilla hats.
He exported them to Panama where the lightweight hats were ideal in the tropical sun and were snapped up by workers and U.S. engineers building the Panama Canal.
When U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt was photographed wearing one during a visit to the canal the shot went viral -- in a 1904 sort of way -- and demand for a "Panama hat" surged.
The hats are still a classic summer staple, but sadly for Ecuadorian producers the name has stuck and even in Quito they are advertised as Panama hat.
11. Voting is compulsory
Ecuador introduced compulsory voting for all citizens aged 18 to 65 years old in 1936. Only the illiterate are excused.
Voters are given a certificate to show they've fulfilled their civil duty -- without it they can't get married or buy property unless you have a very good excuse or pay a hefty $50 fine.

I came in to Sunny G on January this year and we had a chat because I had done some community radio and community arts in Dublin. I've worked in inner city communities for over 20 years and get the locals into creative pursuits. I was trying to find community radio on my phone and I came across Sunny G and I thought 'This is Brilliant! These people are hilarious!' and I think it was Kushtii and I thought it was very creative and very funny. I love the radio and I have since I was a kid, we always had it on in the house. The connection you get to the community through the radio is great.
The idea of my show is that we have interviews and guests from the arts who are engaging like whether they're artists or community groups. Just get people in who are creative. We also want to let people know what's going on in the community in regards to arts like theatre, visual, festivals, and just what is happening in general.
In my spare time I love to listen to the radio and I drink a lot of tea…I love tea. I like to go to comedy clubs, I actually do comedy myself – some sketches and workshops. Billy Connolly in the Olympian, Dublin is probably the best comedy show I've ever been to. Dylan Moran is a close second, he's an Irish comedian that stays in Edinburgh.

Aztec Minerals Completes Earn-in and Exercises Option to Acquire a 65% Interest in the Cervantes Project in Sonora, Mexico from Kootenay Silver Appoints Andy Bowering to Advisory Committee
Vancouver, Canada – July 30, 2019 - Aztec Minerals Corp. (AZT: TSX-V, OTCQB: AZZTF) announces that it has completed the terms of its earn-in and has exercised its option to acquire a 65% interest in the Cervantes porphyry gold-copper project in Sonora, Mexico from Kootenay Silver Inc. Kootenay retains the remaining 35% interest in Cervantes.
Aztec and Kootenay expect to finalize the terms of the joint venture agreement shortly, then form a joint venture management committee, review the exploration results to date and approve the next exploration program and budget at Cervantes.
Aztec also announces the appointment of Andrew Bowering to its business and technical advisory board. Mr. Bowering is a venture capitalist with 30 years of experience in mineral exploration and development worldwide. He has founded, funded and built management teams that have operated numerous companies in the pursuit of precious, base and industrial metals from early exploration through to production.
Mr. Bowering has a financial background as a stock broker and a business background as the founder and an owner of Sunrise Drilling Ltd. In recent years, Andy has held senior leadership roles in public and private companies from investor relations to CEO. He is a founder and significant shareholder of Millennial Lithium Corp and is the founder and current CEO of Prime Mining Corp.
Joey Wilkins, Aztec CEO, stated: "We are pleased to reach this milestone after four years of productive mineral exploration on the Cervantes property. The results of our geophysical surveys, geochemical sampling, and geologic mapping have outlined a district-scale porphyry gold-copper system with multiple targets, most of which have never been drilled."
"Our first drill program at the California prospect resulted in the discovery of a large, well mineralized gold oxide zone hosted by a strongly altered and brecciated quartz feldspar porphyry intrusion. A strong, broad IP chargeability anomaly underlies the California gold oxide zone down to at least 500 meters depth, is interpreted to be an underlying sulfide zone and has not yet been tested by drilling."
"A recently completed Phase 2 geophysical survey has uncovered additional high priority chargeability and resistivity anomalies on trend with the California prospect in two separate porphyry targets, more details to follow. The number of high-quality targets continues to grow as we explore the full extent of this prospective 3,500 hectare property."
"I would like to welcome Andy Bowering to our advisory committee. Andy has enjoyed much success in the management of and capital formation for exploration and mining ventures. We look forward to working with him as we advance our mineral exploration projects through the discovery phase."

EFFECT OF CARBON SOURCE AND INCUBATION TEMPERATURE ON TOTAL CONTENT OF SECONDARY METABOLITES OF CALLUS CULTURE OF SOLANUM NIGRUM
Mohd Amir, Mohd Aqil, Mohd Vaseem Ismail, Mohd Akhtar, Anwar Husain Khan, Mohd Mujeeb*
Solanum nigrum (Solanaceae) is known as black nightshade. The plant is extensively used to treat severe diseases such as pain, inflammation and fever. The plant is also used as an antitumorigenic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, diuretic, and antipyretic agent. The present study was designed to observe the effects of carbon source and incubation temperature on callus growth, and secondary metabolite content in S. nigrum. Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with different concentrations of plant growth regulators and various concentrations of glucose, sucrose, and fructose was used for the study. The incubation temperatures such as 20, 25, 30 and 35°C were used on callus culture of S. nigrum for assessment of total phenolic, flavonoids and alkaloid content. The weight of biomass produced and content of secondary metabolites were determined. The results revealed that sucrose was superior to glucose and fructose for callus growth and secondary metabolites formation, and the optimum concentration of sucrose was 3%.The optimum incubation temperature was 30°C for the production of biomass and secondary metabolites. It can be concluded that sucrose as carbon source was superior to glucose and fructose for callus growth and secondary metabolite accumulation.
Keywords: Solanum nigrum L, Total phenolics, Flavonoids, Alkaloids. Secondary metabolites.

Q: How can I delete all documents from a collection without deleting the collection itself in firebase with Javascript? I have a collection called mouse, which has inside several documents, which I have added by clicking somewhere on my file. The fields each document of this collection have are: 'type', 'position x', 'position y' and 'timestamp'.
I have used the following code in order to save each click on the db (in other words to put a new element in the collection):
var setData = ref.set({
    'type': 'MC',
    'x':  xPosition,
    'y': yPosition,
    'timestamp': firebase.firestore.FieldValue.serverTimestamp()
})

and this code in order to print out all documents in the collection:
db.collection("mouse").where("type", "==", "MC")
    .onSnapshot(function(querySnapshot) {
        var dataPoints = [];
        querySnapshot.forEach(function(doc) {
           dataPoints.push(doc.data().type + " " + doc.data().x + " " + doc.data().y + " " + doc.data().timestamp);
        });
        console.log("Current data in database: ", dataPoints.join(", ") + "\n");
    });

My question is now, how could I delete all these documents without deleting the collection? I appreciate any help you can provide

A:
My question is now, how could I delete all these documents without deleting the collection?

There is no way in which you can delete an entire collection without deleting all documents that exist under that particualr collection. So first delete all documents and the collection will be deleted automatically. In case of large collections I recommend you delete the documents in smaller chunks. This is happening client side, however you can write a function in Cloud Functions for Firebase to achieve the same thing server side.
Edit:
According to the official documentation regarding on how to delete collections using Javascript:

Deleting collections from a Web client is not recommended.

So if you have only a few documents, iterate through the collection and call delete() on each document reference otherwise I recommend you Cloud Functions.

Single Technologies raises $1.6M to develop NGS platform
Home > News & Articles > Single Technologies raises $1.6M to develop NGS platform
Single Technologies announced it has raised SEK15 million ($1.6 million) to support further development of its next-generation sequencing platform.
Stockholm-based Single Technologies raised the funding via a convertible bond issue. JovB Holding, a Swedish investment firm, acted as the investor. The company said it will use the proceeds to support development of its products.
Called Theta, Single Technologies' platform relies on automated fluidics and single molecule-sensitive imaging to improve sequencing throughput. By enabling users to scale their sequencing projects, the company believes its technology will find use in population genomics and single-cell sequencing, among other applications.
CEO Johan Strömqvist said in a statement that Theta will enable "faster and more cost-efficient sequencing" in different sample types. He said the company intends to raise more funds before summer.
Single Technologies was founded in 2014 based on research into single-molecule imaging and biotechnology at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, as well as on R&D in fiber optical grating done at Proximion, a fiber optics company based in Kista, Sweden.

Fashionable shoemaker brings a slice of Italy to United States
by Jay Allred November 20, 2020
By David Droschak
Duca Del Cosma, the pioneer of the spikeless golf shoe and regarded as a world trendsetter in fashion golf footwear for two decades, has been knocking on doors in the United States and across golf-rich states such as North Carolina and South Carolina.
Now headquartered in The Netherlands, Duca Del Cosma entered the shoe market in the U.S. for the first time this year with its high-end Italian leather golf shoes, which retail between $190-$230 a pair.
"Walking was much, much greater this year with COVID-19, no question," said Steve Gray, the company's VP of sales in North America. "That has brought to light three factors for golfers that maybe didn't walk before and are now walking more. They found out the shoes they had purchased at a low price point didn't last very long; their shoes weren't as waterproof as they were told they were, and they really did not give them the stability and support over the round of golf they were looking for."
Gray makes no apologies for the steep price point for the Duca Del Cosma shoes, pointing to numerous handcrafted and technology advances that set his company's shoes apart from any other competitor.
"We're much more green-grass country club driven, looking for that more sophisticated world traveler golfer," Gray said. "We have nothing against the guy who plays 9 holes in a league on Tuesday night, but that isn't our guy.
"We're still building our brand and knocking on doors in the United States. Obviously, launching during a year in which COVID-19 happened wasn't necessarily ideal, but we want to sell resorts like Pinehurst or Harbourtown or Sedgefield or Raleigh Country Club – that really is where we want to be in the market place."
The Duca Del Cosma line of shoes is particularly attractive to females, who in the past have been overlooked when it comes to choices of golf shoes.
"Women tend to be more fashion driven at the start of the selection process," Gray said. "They want a shoe that looks unique because in general with other shoe companies their selections are boring. They are insulted by just having a pink shoe all the time. They are looking for shoes that match their outfit, that match their personality, that match their lifestyle. Then they look to performance — and in their mind performance is comfort — and then is the shoe waterproof."
On the male side, Duca Del Cosma's target demographics range from ages 30 to 55 and then older "because they can afford them."
"But a lot of the older golfers may find some of our shoes a little too fashion forward," Gray said. "However, we do have what we call 'fashion classics' which the older golfers just love. We're really after golfers who are not so tied to tradition as they once were because the game has changed so much. A lot of golfers now didn't grow up with balata balls and persimmon woods. They are looking for a shoe to perform."
And the invention of the lightweight spikeless shoe, Gray says, has allowed the firm to expand golfer's perceptions over the years beyond just fairways and greens.
"For us, the key ingredient, and this is true with every single one of our shoes, is you can put that shoe on with your best Sunday suit, and go to the best meeting in the world and nobody would know that's a golf shoe," he said. "All of our shoes are designed to be worn anywhere. Yes, they are performance golf shoes and that is the first criteria, but after that if you just want to wear it out and travel you can wear them. I wear mine on the plane all the time."

It's simple but worthy of having with a glass of wine. From America Farm To Table by Mario Batali and Jim Webster (Grand Central Life and Style). Batali offers that the "excessive use of black pepper" is a boon to this dish.
Evenly spread the ricotta on 4 slices of bread. Sprinkle with Maldon salt and crack a lot of fresh pepper over the ricotta. Cut the tomatoes into 1-inch-thick (2.5 cm) slices, then cut the slices into half-moons. Lay the tomatoes on top of the ricotta, covering the ricotta nearly to the edges, then sprinkle the tomatoes with more Maldon salt. Cover with the 4 remaining slices of bread to form sandwiches. Trim crusts off and cut each sandwich into 4 equal finger-shaped pieces.
In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the milk, sugar, cayenne, kosher salt, and nutmeg and whisk until well blended.
In a 10-inch (25 cm) nonstick saute pan, heat 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the olive oil over medium-high heat until smoking. Add 1 tbsp butter and cook until the sizzling subsides. Dip 8 of the sandwich pieces into the egg mixture, turning to coat well, then place them in the pan and cook until golden brown on the first side, about 2 minutes. Flip the sandwiches over and cover until golden brown on the other side, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the sandwiches to a plate, and repeat the process with the remaining olive oil, butter, and 8 sandwich fingers.
Red, rustic and dry, a plummy/sour cherry palate with bits of licorice and earth easily take on the cheese and tomatoes. Good value.
Cannonau, or Grenache, has a fresh, peppery, smoky, savoury, black cherry fruit character that fits the dish perfectly.

Is This The Way To Mandate Equal Pay?
Oh Canada, you're doing equal pay right.
The U.S. may still be paying women77 cents to every man's dollar, but in our neighboring country, things are looking up for equal pay. At McGill University in Quebec, Canada, a revolutionary equal pay program mandated by Quebec law has been launched to secure wage equality, the Wall Street Journal reported. The university is taking on this lofy task by ensuring that one gender dominating a certain profession doesn't mean that they're making less (or more) than others in positions of a similar caliber. In simpler terms, if the program says that administrative assistants, a job typically dominated by females, deserved equal compensation to a male dominated job, such as landscaping, then the two should be paid equally, regardless of gender.
McGill's program wasn't a quick fix to the big problem that is the gender pay gap: it took 13 years and over 19 million U.S. dollars to develop. But its benefits were seen this past February when the university sent out checks covering back pay and raises for full-time university employees that were deemed "underpaid" by the program's standards. The university determined who deserved an income adjustment by grouping roles in "job classifications" that would help to determine an equal and adequate salary.
However, the unveiling of this program is only the beginning. The university has yet to look at male-dominated jobs and see if their salaries measure up, too. What they're hoping now is that making big adjustments in the present will lessen the need for similar sized modifications in the future.

In hindsight I suppose it was unsurprising and perhaps somewhat inevitable that it was Elton John who really taught me about eyeglasses.
About fifteen years ago I found myself at the house in Windsor that Elton shares with his long term partner David Furnish. I was there to supervise a cover session for British GQ, and having got Elton to agree to the shoot, along with an interview, I wanted to make sure everything ran smoothly.
Plus, of course, I was desperate to see their house. Now, to say that the house was exquisite would be an understatement, although what I really loved was being shown Elton's wardrobe.
And along with the corridors of suits, the lines of shirts, the acres of shoes, and -- frankly -- the stationary pantechnicons of stage jewelry, what fascinated me most were the drawers and drawers of spectacles.
Call them glasses, call them eyewear, call them what you will, but even then -- having already divested himself of hundreds of pairs in various sales -- Elton had a lot of them.
In fact, having spent a good half an hour sifting through Elton's extraordinary collection, a collection made up of everything from vintage pieces to Art Deco gems, via punk and glam right up to the modern day -- I realized that the history of eyeglasses could be told through Elton's career.
To analyze his visual appeal is to look at a cavalcade of glasses which have been as important to his success as conical bras, say, were to Madonna's.
If you think of David Bowie, you think of Ziggy Stardust's red mullet; if you think of Elvis you think of his white rhinestone jumpsuit.
And if you think of Elton you no doubt think of one of the many pairs of outrageous glasses he has worn since he became famous.
You can see glasses that Elton John might have worn in the current exhibition at the Design Museum Holon in Israel.
The exhibition follows the development of eyeglasses from several different points of view: from the unique Claude Samuel Collection dating right back to the 17th century, to contemporary conceptual interpretations of eyeglasses by fifty Israeli designers highlighting the creative energy of the Israeli design scene. There is also a bit of virtual reality to bring things up to date.
Unique pieces ranging from Elton John and John Lennon style eyeglasses to authentic Eskimo bone eyewear are shown alongside sketches of eyewear designs made by Claude's father from the Pierre Cardin Fashion House. This show gives you a glimpse of what lies behind behind lens, so to speak.
Speaking as someone who has needed to wear glasses since the age of ten, I know how important eyewear is.
Spectacles can make you look richer, they can make you look poorer, and in the case of Elton John, a man who has more experience in this area than anyone who has ever set foot in the eyewear section of a department store, can make you look like an international superstar.
Overview, an exhibition that traces the design evolution of eyewear, is currently on show at Design Museum Holon until April 29, 2017.


Some of the world's best known car brands originate from Germany – Mercedes Benz, BMW, Porsche, Volkswagen and Audi and now even three of the classic British marques – Bentley, Rolls-Royce and 'the Mini' have become German owned marques. There is also the Trabant (Trabi) – the little 500cc later 600cc East German Car built with a plastic body and 2 stroke engine that was manufactured from 1957 to 1991, with something like a cult following and marques like NSU with its revolutionary Wankel Rotary engine that have disappeared into the pages of history.
In many ways cars and engineering have become symbols of German Technology and development.
The Volkswagen, VW symbol was famously attached to some of the all-time classic cars that gained their own distinct personalities too – the VW Kombi van and the VW dub Beetle, the people's car both becoming two of the most recognizable cars in the world, the Kombi, a symbol of 'freedom of the road' and the Beetle challenging convention with its rear mounted engine and distinctive shape and sound too.
The German Car industry is today even stronger than it was in times past, but that is not to say that it does not have great competition coming from car makers in France, Japan, Korea, United States, China, India and other countries, with manufacturing of cars now located in many other countries too from Mexico, to Brazil, South Africa, Thailand and beyond.
Many of the great marques of the past have either vanished or been merged into one of the bigger automakers with a new frontier of transport emerging with electric cars, driverless cars, drone development, the IOT (Internet of things) all likely to change the way that we gain and use transport, and particularly vehicles that we would normally describe as "cars".
In Germany there are a number of museums that are dedicated to specific marques and some of these are specially interesting and beautifully set out.
Mercedes-Benz Museum – is a fantastic museum in Stuttgart with some 160 vehicles on display and some 1500 exhibits in a 9 storey building dedicated to showcasing both their classic cars, buses and trucks, as well as their newest developments, with a bookshop and café also located here too.
The Mercedes-Benz Museum is located at Mercedes Strasse 100 in Stuttgart and is open 9 to 6pm Tuesday to Sunday (closed Mondays). Here you take an elevator/lift to the 9th floor and walk down a wide circular walkway that takes you down past the cars and exhibits. If you love seeing great Mercedes-Benz cars that are rarely if ever seen in public, this is the museum to see.
By way of early History, Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler began making cars in 1886, their one cylinder "3 wheeled Motorwagen' their first model. Between 1894 and 1899 some 1200 Benz Velo cars were produced, their first production car, with one cylinder and a 1.5hp engine that enabled the car to reach a speed of 12 kilometres an hour. By 1934, Daimler-Benz were producing over 10,000 cars a year and today they manufacture and sell around 2.2 Million vehicles each year, manufactured or assembled in a number of production plants.
The Stuttgart Museum also sell some classic Mercedes-Benz cars too, and in the Stuttgart suburb of Fellbach there is the Classic Centre on Stuttgarter Strasse 90, that sells both restored classic Mercedes-Benz cars as well as restoring cars and selling parts too. (Tel: +49 (0) 711 173 0000.
The Porsche Museum – This is also in Stuttgart, a brilliant building on PorschePlatz 1 in the suburb of Zuffenhausen, close to the Neuwirtshaus/PorschePlatz 'S' Bahn railway station, making it easy to get to.
The polygon shaped futuristic building opened on the 31st January 2009, designed by the Austrian Architect, Delugan Meissl and outside is a large and impressive sculpture that seems to reach for the sky as angled pillars crossing over each other with 3 cars held high above – no doubt symbolising the Porsche vision of reaching to the future through engineering, function and design.
Here in the exhibition space there are around 80 cars on display at any one time along with other memorabilia and information about Porsche and its original creators Ferdinand Porsche (1875-1951) and his son Ferry Porsche (1909-1998). Porsche cars are also built here too and it is possible to also hire a Porsche to drive for an hour or a week, but at a cost too around 140 Euros for an hour and only if you have at least 5 years of experience as a licensed driver and are over 27 years old. A deposit of 2500 Euro is also required as a deposit bond.
The first Porsche branded sports car, the 356 made by hand was produced in 1948 in Austria, but the Porsche Family moved to Stuttgart in 1949 and established the Porsche Factory in Zuffenhausen in 1950, going on to produce 78,000 Porsche 356 models over the next 17 years. Millions of Porsche cars have been produced since.
While the Porsche cars were only first produced in 1948, Ferdinand Porsche had built his first car the 'P1' in 1898 in Austria and he and Ferry Porsche were also the designers/engineers behind many other automotive developments too, the father working with Adolf Hitler to develop " the People's Car", the VW Beetle that began production in 1938 and the Tiger Tank used in World War Two by the Germans.
In 2008 Porsche, made an audacious bid to buy Volkswagen but the battle for supremacy ended in court cases, massive debt escalation and in 2012, Volkswagen ended up buying Porsche.
BMW Museum – Munich – is located on Am Olympiapark 2 in Munich in Bavaria and is a large complex that first opened in 1973. It is open 7 days a week and there are also plant tours to see production between 9 and 4.30 Monday to Friday. In the main Exhibition "Vision" spaces there are around 120 great cars and bikes to see and also exhibition spaces for Rolls Royce, Minis, Electric Vehicles and Motor Bikes. You can easily spend a great day here.
BMW stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke ( Bavarian Motor Works) and the company dates back to its beginning in 1916 when the company manufactured engines for the fledgling Aircraft industry, also making engines for bikes at the same time.
Its foray into building cars began in 1929 when under Licence it built Austin 7 'Dixi' cars, with its first sports production car, the BMW 328 built in 1936. World War Two saw the company stop production of cars and concentrate on building aircraft engines and it was not until 1952 that car production would start once again.
BMW has become world renowned for its motor bikes as well as cars and today has a number of production plants and with the addition of Rolls Royce and the Mini, it sells over 2.3 million cars each year.
The Museum is stunning not just for its cars but also for its architecture and style and well worth the time to come and see it.
ALSO in Munich look to the see the Deutsches (German) Museum – on Museum Island – which has a vast collection covering history and advances in Music, Medicine, Photography, Technology and more. They have a Wrights Brother's Aircraft, the 1st U Boat, a Douglas DC3 aircraft and a remarkable collection of the tiny Goggomobil, Messerschmitt and BMW Isetta cars from the 1950's. The transport part of the Museum (Verkehrzentrum) is located at Theresienhöhe 14a – that was once used for tradefairs.
VW Stiftung Auto Museum – Wolfsburg - Wolfsburg is where the VW main Production plant is located and here there is the Autostrade – two round tower buildings where robotics park and pick up new cars in the towers for delivery to new owners. There are around 400 vehicles parked in each tower. Nearby on Diesel Strasse 35 is a Museum showcasing VW Beetles, including the famous 'Herbie' from the Love Bug movie, along with many Kombi Vans and other vehicles. The museum is interesting, but does not have the style and sophistication of the BMW, Mercedes or Porsche museums.
It seems strange that VW doesn't have a huge museum given that the company owns VW, Audi, Skoda, Bentley, Bugatti, Seat, Lamborghini, Porsche, Ducati, Scania and Man Trucks.
Audi Museum Mobile Museum – The Museum is located in Ingolstadt in Bavaria, on Auto-Union Strasse, roughly half way between Stuttgart and Munich. This is also where Audi cars and manufactured and buyers can also pick up their new Audi and there are also factory tours too. The Museum is on 3 levels and has around 100 vehicles and 2 wheelers on display, and possibly also Ducati Motor Bikes (being part of the VW-Audi Family) along with Restaurant and shop for Audi merchandise and souvenirs.
The history of Audi goes back to the time when August Horch (1868-1951) who had worked with Karl Benz in charge of production between 1896 and 1899, set up his own company in 1901 making cars under the Horch name. He sold this company and when he re-established a new company, he used the name 'Audi'. In the 1928 Depression, his company merged with three car makers and the '4 Circle Rings' emblem was born, with the merged company named as 'Auto Union' again using the Horch brand on the cars they produced – used as an H holding the Horch name above it as their emblem on the front of the cars along with the four circles. Altogether 4 brands – Horch, Audi, DKW and Wanderer were produced by the Auto Union Company.
Very stylish Horch sporting 'Phaeton' saloon cars in the 1930's, not only have an H and Horch name logo on their bonnets but also on their hubcaps and even metal clutch and brake pedals, the cars, rare as they may be, selling for around a million dollars.
World War Two saw the Auto Union company build troop carriers and aircraft engines, and post war small 2 cylinder cars too, but it wasn't until the development of the Quattro Engine that the fortunes of the company improved with the first Audi Quattro produced in 1980 and continuing to be manufactured until 1991. The 4 wheel drive Quattro set the pace in Rally Driving and a new era emerged with Audi cars now part of the VW Group and competing in the luxury stakes with BMW and Mercedes.
The Audi Museum is well set out, has lots of interesting film and visual material as well as some sensational cars, so well worth seeing, particularly if you are an Audi fan.
Horch Museum – This is a Museum located in the factory in Zwickau in Saxony where Horch cars were built and also the little Trabant (Trabi) cars from 1957. They now make VW cars in Zwickau too, but it is the Museum that attracts great interest.
Deutsches-Zweirad-und NSU Museum - This museum is located at Urbanstrasse 11 in the city of Neckarsulm, near Stuttgart in a 5 storey castle building dating back to the 13th Century. Here in the Museum there are Motorbikes from 50 different manufacturers including a reproduction of an 1885 Daimler Einspur – the first motorbike to use a gasoline internal combustion engine, as well as many other classics. Also here in the museum are bicycles and NSU cars and Motorbikes too. NSU cars were once made in Neckarsulm, including the Ro 80 before the company was taken over by VW and merged into Audi. Today in the Neckarsulm factory some 260,000 Audis are built here. If you have a passion for motorbikes, this museum is a must to see.
Auto and Teknik Museum – Sinheim, between Manheim and Heilbronn, about an hour from Frankfurt. You can get here by road or train, with the station, Sinheim MuseumArena near the Museum. This museum is an absolute stunner, the main attraction being a real Air France Concorde Supersonic aircraft that faces towards the sky mounted on a steel frame and next to it a Russian Tupolev TU 144 – from 1968 also mounted on steel looking ready to take flight. Pretty amazing to see, but also here in the museum there are other aircraft, Vintage cars, Formula I racers, Motorbikes, locomotives, sports cars including a DeLorean, American Dream Cars, Goggomobil cars and Military vehicles – so lots to see.
One of the great things about Germany are the Autobahns that crisscross the country. Many of these have no speed limits so that means being extra, extra careful when you change lanes while driving. You might be doing 100 kilometres an hour, but another car in the inner lane may be travelling at 240 kilometres an hour. There are also masses of trucks, most staying in the truck lane, and there are sections of the Autobahns that do have Speed Cameras and Average Speed cameras too.
Germans have voted not to have toll roads, whereas in France there are many, so if travelling from the north to the south of Europe, it will be a lot cheaper travelling through Germany than it is through France.
All of the museums above a great to visit, so I hope you enjoy seeing one or more of them, depending on your interests.


GO LIVE: Lady Antebellum & Darius Rucker bring the heat on their Summer Tour!
Lady Antebellum and Darius Rucker team up for the summer to bring fans a concert full of hits all throughout the night, they even brought Russell Dickerson along for the ride. Merriweather Post Pavilion was packed. A full lawn, a full pavilion and fans packed like sardines in the GA pit, they were ready for a good time!
Opening up the night Russell Dickerson had a lot of people to swoon, not only with his good looks but with his setlist that night. Now Dickerson is fairly new in the country music world/ music world in general so he had to prove he has what it takes to open up for country musics power trio, Lady A and Darius Rucker. With a eight song setlist and not a lot of time on stage i think it's safe to say he did a great job with the crowd. For his set he played his original material such as twentysomething, Billion$ and Blue Tacoma. He also covered the late Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance With Somebody. He ended his set with Yours.
Next was Darius Rucker he opened up with Homegrown Honey. I've never seen Rucker live before so I was so sure what to expect. But from what I've heard he puts on a fantastic show; and yes he met expectations. Some people may know him from his past musical endeavors, Hootie & The Blowfish, he still played a few songs from his past including Let Her Cry and Only Wanna Be With You which got everyone off their feet and singing at the top of their lungs. He also played a good handful of his originals such as Don't Think I Don't Think About It, Alright and Comeback Song. Not only did he include Hootie covers he also covered Drivin' N Cryin's Straight To Hell. Fans from the time Rucker went on stage to the time he ended his set with Wagon Wheel, fans were up dancing and singing along all night.
After Darius Rucker leaving fans with such a buzz (or that might be all the beer and liquor I saw being consumed, nah it was Rucker's set) Lady Antebellum took the stage with full force! Opening up the night with You Look Good fans were already up dancing and singing away. Being the headliner you must keep that high energy up; Lady Antebellum did NOT disappoint at all. The trio has been making hit after hit even after their little break a few years ago. Their setlist was fourteen songs long plus the three song encore at the end. What was played that night included I Run To You, Dancin Away With My Heart, Lookin for a Good Time and even a cover/medley of their own song Heart Break and a cover of Dua Lipas New Rules. The band also performed covers such as Diamond Rio's Meet Me in the Middle mixed with their own Compass, they also covered Keith Urbans Raining on Sunday. The band closed out the night with We Owned the Night (literally) and moved onto their encore where they covered Hootie & The Blowfish's Hold My Hand and Deana Carter's Strawberry Wine. They officially closed out with Love Don't Live Here Anymore.

PCI Certification Service | Shopping Cart Software..
Modular Merchant's exclusive PCI Concierge service.
Gain the protection from theft and hacking by becoming PCI Certified. Tens of thousands of organizations around the world trust McAfee to audit their PCI compliance status. Get McAfee PCI compliance certified today!
— PCI Certification Service allows us to do the scanning and the fixing for you.
What is PCI Certification, and why do I need it?
The Payment Card Industry (PCI) developed the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) to establish guidelines for all organizations that capture, process, or store credit card data — such as shopping carts. Any website performing ecommerce must demonstrate proof of compliance. In short: if your online store accepts credit cards, then you need to be PCI Compliant.
How can I make my website PCI Compliant?
There are several steps to becoming PCI Compliant.
Have your website audited by a PCI-approved scanning vendor.
Rectify any vulnerabilities discovered during the PCI audit. Vulnerabilities can originate from the server's operating system, a database configuration, webpage content, error handling settings, security settings, etc.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 until all vulnerabilities have been resolved.
Complete a Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), usually provided by either your merchant service provider or the scanning vendor.
Provide your merchant service provider with your SAQ and the documents from the PCI scanning vendor that confirm your website's PCI compliance.
Repeat steps 1 through 5 at least on a quarterly basis.
If you'd rather not wrestle with this process every few months, a better solution is available.
PCI compliance is a very technical process.
Most of our clients aren't experts on network security, so they become middle-men, sending reports back and forth between Modular Merchant and their scanning service. It adds more work, time and stress to all parties involved.
What's more, PCI compliance must be done on a per-website basis. This means just because another website hosted on the same server is PCI compliant (or just because your website uses PCI Compliant shopping cart software, such as Modular Merchant) your website is not automatically also PCI compliant.
Modular Merchant is happy to help, but when clients use a variety of scanning services — each with a different procedure for reporting and resolving issues — it further slows down the process. Different services will also report conflicting, erroneous and previously corrected issues.
Additionally, PCI scanning services will charge a wide range of prices, from hundreds to thousands of dollars per year, just for their quarterly scans. And then, they still place the burden on you to resolve any issues that they find.
PCI Compliance can frustrate even the most capable of stock photography businessmen.
Modular Merchant's PCI Concierge service allows us to do the work for you.
As a shopping cart software developer, PCI compliance naturally falls within our area of expertise. We deal with it every day, and we wanted to put our knowledge and experience to good use by finding a way to perform the PCI compliance ritual for our clients. So, we developed our PCI Concierge service.
We've brokered an agreement with McAfee that allows us to perform the PCI scanning on behalf of our clients. Not only do our clients receive a substantial discount on McAfee's PCI Certification product, but we perform the website's audit, fix vulnerabilities for our clients, then provide a completed PCI Compliance Report on a regular basis. This service allows us to proactively resolve PCI compliance issues, and to do so more efficiently.
After signing up, Modular Merchant regularly scans your website using McAfee's standard PCI Certification Service product.
Once all issues are resolved, a completed PCI compliance report, confirming your website's clean bill of health, is provided to you. These reports are made available directly within your store's Administration Area.
A McAfee PCI control panel will also be made available to you, so you can log in at any time to complete your Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), view your scan results, or manually download more reports.
And that's all there is to it. Modular Merchant's PCI Concierge service makes your life easier because you don't have to worry about resolving complex server vulnerabilities, and it makes our lives easier because we can consolidate all our efforts through one PCI scanning provider.
