Gary Giordano, back in the United States after four months behind bars in Aruba, is talking for the first time about the mysterious disappearance of his girlfriend, Robyn Gardner.
He came out swinging in a combative interview on Good Morning America.
Robin Roberts said, "The question on everyone's mind, Gary, and you know this, they want to know if you had anything to do—"
"Absolutely not! Absolutely not!" Giordano interjected.
"Would you have done anything differently?" Roberts asked.
"Absolutely! That's a silly question; I mean that's really…of course! There's a missing person, would I do something different? Yeah, I wouldn't have come," he said.
His three sons stood behind him during the interview; at one point he turned to say something to them and one of the boys nodded.
His attorney, Jose Baez, who famously defended Casey Anthony at her murder trial, was at his side.
Giordano says Robyn Gardner vanished while snorkeling. He denies that he deliberately took the 35-year-old hairdresser to a remote location, or that they were drunk.
Giordano said, "We weren't drinking heavily. She was walking, I was walking, we were a sober couple, ok?"
He also told Roberts, "We were a hundred yards from a scuba diving store, not a remote location, ok?"
Giordano took out $1.5 million accidental death insurance on Gardner before the trip, naming himself the beneficiary. But he has an explanation. He said he always takes travel insurance and that Gardner was automatically covered on the policy.
"I have children. If I go traveling, and I disappear, I want them to be covered, ok? But that's automatic. I can't un-select Robyn," he said.
Giordano's ex-wife and former girlfriends have claimed he has a violent temper. The New York Post headline blared "Look Out, Ladies" and warned "Hide the women!" after he checked into a Manhattan hotel.
He arrived at New York's JFK Airport wearing a baseball cap over his bald head. When he turned up at Good Morning America's studios in Times Square, he had donned a toupee.
Though Aruban officials say they still consider Giordano a suspect, the only way he can be returned to Aruba is if authorities proceed with an actual trial.

Ghosts and Ghouls (Part 1)
Posted on October 19, 2017 June 8, 2019 by danigirl71
We're talking about the most common ghosts and ghouls we'll see at this time of the year. Think witches, werewolves, vampires, goblins, mummies, Frankenstein and ghosts. I'm going to break them down and tell you a bit about their history and how to write them in literature today. Next week we'll be continuing with these guys, but they're not going to the traditional monsters that we all know and love.
In 1731, the Austrian government ordered an investigation into a mass hysteria that gripped the village of Medvegja. Local citizen Arnold Paole had died in 1726 after falling off a hay wagon. Prior to his death, Paole had intimated that he'd been bitten by a vampire when he lived near Gossawa, in Turkish Serbia. To reverse the curse, Paole said he'd smeared himself with mud from the vampire's grave and with the vampire's blood.
About a month after Paole's death, villagers said that the deceased man had risen from his grave and killed four people. Believing Paole to be a vampire, they'd disinterred his body forty days after his death. His body hadn't decayed very much, lending further "credibility" to their theory. They drove a stake through the heart of Paole's corpse and burned it. His four supposed victims' bodies were treated the same way. Despite these precautions, ten more people died of mysterious circumstances in 1731, and the village blamed Paole. (Read more about this fascinating case from the Wellcome Library.)
Johannes Fluckinger made the report, corroborating the villagers' claims. The story quickly gained attention throughout Europe. The tale made its way into both international journals and the imaginations of the fashionable set. Even scientists and philosophers were fascinated.
This is the report that sparked our obsession with the creatures of the night.
Another person to keep in mind when thinking about vampires is Romania's Vlad the Impaler or Vlad the third or the Prince of Wallachia. He was born sometime between 1428-1431 and died somewhere between December 1476 and January 1477. He lived in what is now known as Transylvania, a region in Romania. Some historians believe, that he was never in this district at all and that the castle everyone believes is his, well, isn't his. Vlad the III was known for impaling his enemies on spikes and then displaying them outside his castle as a warning to everyone. He was pretty cruel.
(If you want to know more about Vlad's history please visit Live Science to find an excellent article and even more sources about Dracula and Vlad the Impaler.)
So, how does Vlad fit into the vampire narrative? It comes down to Bram Stoker and his novel Dracula in 1897. Stoker while researching, like any good writer, came across the name of Dracul and noted that it meant devil and that's why Vlad gets associated with the book (according to some historians and literature experts). Stoker's Count Dracula is what most of our vampire archetypes come from. He's the one we keep coming back to in a lot of ways.
However, authors such as, Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire (1976) and Stephanie Myers Twilight (2005) have changed the way we view vampires in literature. While their contributions may be good and very, very bad, they still create new ways to scare their readers.
Witches and Warlocks
Witches within literature, started after 1235 when the Vatican ordered an Inquisition to reestablish faith in the Church. As the Vatican made its way through Europe, there were a lot of allegations and hearsay about men and women witches being brought to the church's attention. These witchcraft allegations and persecutions last well into the 17th century. In 1486, Inquisitors Henry Kramer and Jakob Sprenger published Malleus Maleficarum (The Hammer of Witches). The book, which codified a belief in witchcraft and contributed to the witch craze.
I just want to say that this is something that has happened in every country in the world. Predominately, we tend to focus on what happened in Salem, Massachusetts in the USA and what happened in Europe. As much as I joke about witchcraft in the above Monty Python video clip, it would be good to keep in mind the millions of people who have been persecuted for their beliefs and for those who died innocently based on inaccurate accusations. I would like to point out that most witches were considered to be female, during this time period, as they had a more "delicate disposition" and were "more susceptible to the devil's machinations"; however, men were also accused of being witches.
So the next video gives a history of the witch hunts in Europe and also covers the Salem Witch Trails. It's a little long but it's full of information.
Also check out this article by History Extra that goes over the witch hunts in Europe. Great information and some good videos are on that site as well.
Within the novels and the literature witches and warlocks are seen as the bad guy. They're making sure that bad things happen to good people and they generally keep making bad things happen. However, stories such as Harry Potter, have turned witches into being an awesome being with both the good and the bad among them.
Witchcraft stems from a time before monotheism (belief in only one god). Those who didn't subscribe to monotheism got lumped under the term pagan.
Pagan: A person holding religious beliefs other than those of the main world religions. (dated, derogatory) A non-Christian. A member of a modern religious movement which seeks to incorporate beliefs or practices from outside the main world religions, especially nature worship.
Once the church established itself and you didn't subscribe to its teachings you got lumped under this term. In recent times, there has been a reclaiming of this word to bring together the Wicca, voodoo based and other pagan groups. There are, like all things, different extremes within these groups. (I.e.: occult and satanic practices vs. voodoo practices, vs. nature -based or healing practices)
Here is a link to a website I found on witches, witchcraft that goes really in depth about everything to do with witchcraft and its practices.
Werewolves have their basis in Greek Mythology.
This is the story:
Lycaon, the legendary king of Arcadia. Traditionally, he was an impious and cruel king who tried to trick Zeus, the king of the gods, into eating human flesh. The god was not deceived and in wrath devastated the earth with Deucalian's flood, according to Ovid's Metamorphoses, Book I. Lycaon himself was turned into a wolf.
The story of Lycaon was apparently told in order to explain an extraordinary ceremony, the Lycaea, held in honor of Zeus, at Mount Lycaeus. According to Plato (Republic, Book VIII), this ceremony was believed to involve human sacrifice and lycanthropy (assuming the form of a wolf). The Greek traveler Pausanias implies that the rite was still practiced in the 2nd century ad.
A second Lycaon was a son of Priam, killed by Achilles in one of the most memorable scenes in Homer's Iliad (Book XXI, lines 34ff). A third Lycaon was a son of Ares who was killed by Heracles.
— According to Encyclopedia Britannica
As we head into the medieval times, the werewolf became a bit more likable. They were known to help out knights on their quests and they were cursed by the wicked witches and demons of the time, but this was mostly in the romantic novels. Otherwise, they were known for being sexual beasts with insatiable need to consume human flesh.
Most of those tropes haven't changed since they were inducted into the literature.
Ghosts and Demons
Ghosts and demons have been around in our literature since forever. There has probably always been someone wondering about life after death and if their deceased have come back to them. Demons have been around as long as the church and religion have been around. These are often lumped together because they're things that we generally cannot see ourselves. Ghosts or demons often only reveal themselves when they want to and make our lives hell.
Ghost: an apparition of a dead person that is believed to appear or become manifest to the living, typically as a nebulous image.
Demon: an evil spirit or devil, especially one thought to possess a person or act as a tormentor in hell.
Ghosts are there to generally make things go bump in the night and to scare people into wetting themselves. These ghosts may also be wanting you out of their house or to influence you into doing horrible things – for their own amusement or to carry out their deeds.
Demons, on the other hand, are there to carry out acts of evil. They want to kill and/or possess you. They feed off of your fear, anger, and anguish. They mimic ghosts or people/animals/things that you love to gain your trust and then turn your life upside down.
Here are some famous ghosts:
Hamlet's Dad in William Shakespeare's Hamlet.
The headless horseman in Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
The heart in Edgar Allen Poe's A Tell-tale Heart
The ghosts in Stephen King's The Shining
Here are some famous demons:
Demons by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Inferno by Dante
Paradise Lost by John Milton
Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty
Ah, Frankenstein, how misunderstood are thee.
Frankenstein, rose to the fore when Mary Shelley published her book Frankenstein, in 1818. While, being a tame horror book by today's standards, at the time, it represented a lot of very real fears society had at the time. With the emergence of the Enlightenment and the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution gearing up, there were new advances in medicine and technology, which gave way to new fantastical ideas. One of the things that English society was concerned with was the medical side of technology. There was a lot of people going into medicine and they needed bodies to practice upon, which lead to a lot of people digging up graves and robbing their occupants.
Seriously, this was a HUGE problem for the police during this time. The police, and concerned family members, would stake out cemeteries to make sure that their deceased loved ones wouldn't be snatched. If they were victim to this crime, by the grave robbers, the bodies would be taken to med students and then dissected or have experiments done upon them.
Mary Shelley, played upon this fear very well. The monster, he's not actually called Frankenstein – that's the scientist's name, was made up of mixed parts. Frankenstein was grave robbing and then putting these parts together and creating a new life.
I won't get too much into the rest of the book, you should read it for yourself, the monster only becomes more evil as the novel goes on – not because he is inherently evil, but by what society, and Frankenstein, has done to the monster.
Over the years, the Frankenstein plot has been overshadowed by the mad scientist plot and that the monster isn't capable of human emotion and sensibilities.
Mummies and Zombies
Obviously, Mummies come from Egypt. It was a cultural thing there and you should do you own research into the practice because it is quite gruesome and cool.
The mummy came into the literary side of things with the publishing of, surprise surprise, Bram Stoker's The Jewel of Seven Stars, featuring a mummified Egyptian queen, in 1903 and it apparently had a violent and bloody concluding chapter, which made it very controversial for the time period. Then in 1932, we had our first ever Mummy movie made by producer Carl Laemmle Jr. This film gave us our bandaged wrapped, shuffling terror we see portrayed today.
Zombies. I'll leave this up my good friends at the history channel to explain some things about them: (It is super long -2.5 hrs – but there's a lot of good information in there)
Anyways, zombies have never really been my thing, but they're very prevalent with in our literature and film. Zombies are in our literature because they aren't creatures of opportunity, like vampires or werewolves, they go after everything. They are scary to us because they're after everything we hold dear and they don't care about death or failure – they have no feelings.
The History Channel has a good article on the traits associated with zombies that you may want to check out if you're not willing to watch the entire video.
A goblin is a mythical creature of Germanic and Britishfolklore, often believed to be the evil, or merely mischievous, opposite of the more benevolent faeries and spirits of lore. Like many such creatures, there is no single version of a goblin; the term is more generic for those small creatures that live in dark places and cause trouble, but in more recent years, the term has become more concentrated on green-creatures that live in caves and terrorize children.
You'll find these guys in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, in the banks in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter, and in Christina Rossetti's narrative poem called "Goblin Market". You'll find them up to different things in different European countries. Apparently, there are also different types of goblins which you can read up about here.
When writing for these guys make sure you do your research. They are going to differ depending on the region or country they are in, so get to know them in the folklore or your setting. if you're going to a new place and world building – look into the background of them to get some ideas.
Writing the Traditional Monsters
Now with all this being said, there are differences on how we treat these types of beings across the pond. the USA and the UK both treat these beings differently in their film and literature. Depending on where your story is place you may want to keep these differences in mind. And here's a chart depicting those differences for your convenience:
Other things you should be aware of when writing your gruesome creatures:
RESEARCH! This is crucial, especially if you're going to be playing on a tradition or you're setting your story up in a certain area. You don't want to ignore certain traditions or folklore in the area. It'll help add to the suspense of your novel and it's going to be something your readers may expect to happen.
Read other books portraying your creature. So read books about vampires and their lore. Read Dracula. Understand where your origins are and why they're popular. Look at the different twists other authors have put on their vampires. I really don't think Stephanie Meyer's did this when creating her Twilight series and forever more she will be mocked for making them sparkly….
Don't be afraid of experimenting and avoid cliches. It's alright to experiment with the archetypes and how scary you set your creatures up to be. Like I said just make sure there is a bit of a nod to the people who came before you. A good example of this would be the movie Warm Bodies. The zombies are still fleshing eating monsters, but you've got a love plot and humor to it as well. As we all know, I hate cliches, they're overdone. So instead of having the good witch vs the bad witch, you have a Wicked type plot – where the bad witch isn't bad at all, but misunderstood.
That's all that I have for you today! We will be continuing our look at our gruesome creatures next week, with some ones that aren't necessarily that popular, but have some promise to them.

Revealed: Egypt negotiates purchasing Israeli gas through Cyprus
Publisher MEMO Publishers
Digital 12 Pages
"Cyprus must do everything possible to secure use of Israeli gas at a planned LNG terminal on the island, or else risk jeopardising the whole project,"Charles Ellinas, national gas company head in Cyprus told Cyprus Gas News on Saturday. Ellinas argued that the estimated 5 trillion cubic feet in Cyprus' exclusive economic zone (EEZ) was simply not enough to justify the construction of a costly liquefaction plant at Vassilikos.
This project is a plan by the eastern Mediterranean country to tap into the Asian market, known to be more lucrative than Europe's, by collaborating with Israel on their already existing reserves. In return, Israel will have easier access to the European market and will not have to invest in LNG facilities, which Cyprus is in the process of constructing.

An interior rhyme sequence is found from line to line. The first foot and a half of line one has a rhyme with the first foot and a half of line two. The second foot and a half of line two rhymes with the second foot and half of line three, and the third foot and half of line three rhymes with the third foot and half with line four. This sequence repeats itself in each section of the sonnet.

LIFF 2019: Brilliant Closing Night Gala Screening of Photograph with Ritesh Batra!
Events, LIFF, Movies, News | July 1, 2019 | | by Jonathan Howell
Closing Night at the Bagri Foundation London Indian Film Festival 2019 on Friday 28th June, 2019 at BFI Southbank, London ENGLAND
DARREN BRADE PHOTOGRAPHY
A blazingly hot Saturday afternoon saw the 2019 London Indian Film Festival (LIFF) come to an end in London with the UK Premier of Photograph at the BFI Southbank. It's worth noting, however, the festival is still running in Birmingham with a showing of Photograph on 1 July and Halifax with the Satyajit Ray Short Film Competition on 8 July.
There was a full house, all eager for the screening, perhaps remembering the great film that ended last year's festival, Venus, which managed to tell a touching and funny tale of a transitioning woman who finds she is the father of a teenage son. The evening began, as is traditional, with the announcing of the winner of the Satyajit Ray Short Film Competition. "U Ushacha", a tale of a young farm labourer who finds herself drawn to a local female primary school teacher, picked up the prize.
Next up, the audience award was announced and that went to Article 15 – the opening night film for LIFF this year. The movie uses the narrative of a crime thriller to explore the issues of inequality that still plague India, despite it being seventy years since the discrimination Article came into force. Having watched quite a few of the movies on offer this year, I would certainly agree with that result and would recommend anyone to catch it on the big screen while you can. It's on worldwide release now. (read our review here and interview with Ayushmann Khurranna here)
The evening's main event was Photograph, a movie directed by Ritesh Batra. Expectations were high, given that his debut movie, The Lunchbox won the Rail d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival 2013. Having then directed a couple of English-speaking movies, The Sense of an Ending and Our Souls at Night, Batra was back in the director's chair with a script that he'd written himself. At the Q&A afterwards he said that the desire to write his own script was what brought him back to making an Indian language film.
The Lunchbox also provided Batra with his lead for "Photograph", with Nawazuddin Siddiqui this time playing the romantic lead, Rafi who is a villager who's come to the big city of Mumbai to earn money for his family as a street photographer. Opposite him is Sanya Malhotra as Miloni, a girl from a well-to-do city family who is studying to be a chartered accountant. (see our review here)
The audience burst into a round of applause afterwards and everyone stayed for the Q&A session which followed, in which Batra was accessible, open, and often humorous. A good example of this was his frank admission that he chose the name (and musical track) 'Noorie' from the classic Bollywood film purely because he liked the song, liked the name, and most importantly he could get the rights to the song. It was a convivial way to bring LIFF to a close in London and left us with the tantalising nugget that Batra is writing another script, set in East London.

Top Online Collaboration Tools for Scientists
Share: facebook-f icon linkedin-in icon twitter icon pinterest-p icon envelope icon
The benefits of scientific collaboration are well-documented. Whether it's simply executing experiments within your own lab, or connecting with other researches to access new equipment and methods, write better proposals, get feedback, and pursue new ideas, collaboration is a hallmark of science done right.
Collaboration is also more accessible than ever. The advent of social media and a seemingly never-ending suite of online tools designed to attract scientists present exciting possibilities—and plenty of challenges. Wading through and experimenting with a bevy of tools in the hopes of better efficiency and results can lead to exhaustion, confusion, and burnout. But digital tools, when used effectively, boost productivity and lead to new possibilities in research.
In another new trend, management tools commonly used in business and tech have crept into the scientific world, with NASA astronomers relying on common task management apps in addition to high-powered satellites and telescopes.
Only you can decide which tool is best for you and your team. So we've gathered a number of the most popular and useful collaborative tools for researchers in one place.
Check out the below list of:
Task management tools, for organizing workflow
Writing solutions, for collaborative paper writing
Full-suite solutions, designed to provide a digital environment for an entire lab
Community solutions, for scientific collaboration outside of your immediate network.
Many popular task management tools use a Kanban board to divide to-dos into vertical columns, called lists. Individual items can be created, assigned, and shifted between the different lists, which can represent stages of work (i.e. To do, in progress, and done) or different project categories. Task management tools streamline communication and make teams more efficient by minimizing forgotten tasks and duplicating work. As the executive director of Dryad, Tracy Teal, told Nature, project management tools "connect the details with the high-level goals."
Trello's boards, lists, and cards "enable teams to organize and prioritize projects in a fun, flexible, and rewarding way." Trello is a Kanban board tool that allows users to add comments, attachments, and due dates, as well as integration with apps like Slack and Google Drive.
ZenHub
For teams working with code, ZenHub is a team collaboration solution built into GitHub. Another Kanban management tool, ZenHub is a good option for keeping track of programming projects, including a calendar 'roadmap' view.
OmniPlan
OmniPlan is a more comprehensive version of a task management tool, providing a system to manage complex projects by connecting the dots between divergent tasks in an interactive interface. OmniPlan also allows a user to see the big picture across multiple projects by viewing a user's entire project portfolio.
Writing solutions
Paper-writing has always been collaborative in theory, but tools like Google Docs and cloud synchronization has made it easier than ever before to write a paper as a team. The following tools are digital, collaborative writing tools specifically designed for scientists and researchers.
SciFlow
SciFlow puts a Google Docs-like collaborative tool into a scientist-optimized word processor. SciFlow provides exhaustive automatic formatting tools, handling headings, numbering, citation styles, and even bibliographies upon export, and allows scientists to share references with collaborators.
Typeset, similar to SciFlow, is a collaborative writing tool, but it offers a slightly different set of tools. Choose from verified journal formats, upload the word file of your paper, and then access tools like plagiarism and grammar checks, editing services, and seamless collaboration. Being able to directly access journal formats can be a huge time-saver for teams writing papers. Check out the full suite of services available and see whether SciFlow or Typeset better suits your needs.
Authorea is primarily an open research platform for writing, publishing, and discovering research. Armed with research templates to promote faster writing, and easy-to-use tools for citations and creating tables, figures, and dynamic charts, Authorea promotes collaborating writing within a sophisticated tool. Publishing tools make Authorea a place to discover and publish research as well as write it.
Full-suite solutions
These solutions tend to have a bit of everything—project management, writing, communication, and even research-discovery tools.
Although not built exclusively for researchers, Brief's one-size-fits-all suite of productivity tools still applies to scientific teams. Brief's system includes a team chat feature, a Kanban board project management tool, video conferencing, file sharing, and storage: a comprehensive all-in-one tool for teams.
Labstep
Labstep is a full-suite solution designed with scientists in mind. It includes an electronic notebook for recording experiments, a protocol library, a step-by-step experiment interface to run through procedures and record deviations, lab inventory management tools, a collaborative workspace interface to share experiments, protocols, and exchange messages, and integration with other scientific software like ChemDraw and SnapGene. What it gives up on the project management side, it makes up for with scientist-specific tools and features.
What if you're in need of a different kind of collaboration—not in terms of your daily workflow, but in terms of networking and discovery?
Social media, especially Twitter, is one of the best places to connect with scientists in your field, share your expertise, collaborate, and spitball ideas. But other tools such as ResearchGate (17 million users) are specifically designed to be a research community. Researchers create profiles, share research, collaborate with peers, and discover new papers and bibliographies. The tool includes citation tracking and analytics to see who is reading your work.
Two other options for scientific social networks are Academia.edu and Mendeley. Academia doubles as a search engine-equipped research repository, focusing on sharing papers and ideas. It also offers social network features such as a personal profile and notifications to see who has read your papers. Mendeley likewise is both a social media network and an online database of research papers. It allows users to store and access papers, create easy references and bibliographies, and build up a research network by creating a profile, joining groups, and making connections. It also compiles job and grant opportunities for researchers to browse and apply.

The implementation of cloud-based data management is becoming increasingly prevalent amongst organisations around the world. In Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) alone, 61 per cent of businesses operate with a cloud-first mentality when deploying new applications.
Despite this, many are still neglecting the fundamental first step of cloud adoption: the development and application of a cloud strategy that focuses on education and knowledge sharing, whilst remaining aligned to business objectives. In fact, according to Veritas' Truth in Cloud report, 63 per cent of businesses in the ANZ region export full responsibility for data protection, privacy and compliance onto their cloud service providers (CSPs) – a concerning misbelief that signals a widespread lack of awareness.
Unfortunately, the consequence of this neglect is that many businesses are left unaware of their responsibilities in the cloud, and are therefore vulnerable to penalties. This is especially so with the introduction of information governance legislations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which is due to take effect in May 2018.
While the common misconception among Australian businesses is that the GDPR will have no effect on their business, the reverse holds true. In fact, any organisation that undertakes transactions with European residents or other businesses in the EU region will be held accountable to the laws outlined in the new regulation.
With cloud adoption showing no signs of slowing down, it's imperative that Australian businesses place further emphasis on educating staff members of their responsibilities when it comes to data management and the cloud, in order to avoid penalties. Successfully executing GDPR-compliant cloud strategies within the new standards will require businesses to be reiterative, agile and consistent in their approach to data management education.
Cloud service agreements and contracts can be fraught with fine print and varies widely from one provider to the next. Organisations' IT departments may be switching from one CSP to the next as data management requirements change and evolve. Or they may be looking to multiple CSPs to meet individual business needs. This can often lead organisations to overlook contractual differences as they migrate their data from one CSP to the next, and entrust a number of CSPs with their valuable data assets.
To mediate this issue and stay on top of regulatory compliance in the cloud, it's imperative to review contracts and agreements with the utmost scrutiny. In the event where written agreements do not explicitly detail your responsibilities as a customer, proactivity is key. Reach out to CSPs and ask your account management team to run through your data protection, privacy and compliance obligations as an organisation.
Once an organisation's IT department is equipped with the knowledge it gathers from CSP providers, it's important for this information to be diffused throughout the business. This will ensure that the responsibility of compliant data management is not only placed on the organisation, but on individual employees as well.
IT departments should make it their mission to educate the rest of the business on compliance in the cloud. To further enrich a culture of compliance, management teams should also make it a priority to highlight good data compliance habits. For instance, businesses can do so by rewarding employees who consistently demonstrate good data management in the cloud, and perhaps even go as far as taking disciplinary action out against those who don't.
It's important to remember that adhering to regulatory guidelines in the cloud is not a task that can be set, then forgotten. The fast pace of cloud technology means that there will be constant reiterations of laws and to keep up, continuous learning is necessary to ensure organisations are up to date with the constant changes in data regulations.
Be proactive about keeping up-to-date with regulatory frameworks and ensure staff also understand the importance of ongoing learning.
Although it may seem excessive to invest the time and money to build a healthy culture of compliance, it is an unavoidable necessity in an age where data is king. Specifically, the adoption of cloud-based data management is on an upward trajectory and in Australia and New Zealand, with 54 per cent of businesses predicting an expansion in their cloud portfolio.
There are a lot of advantages that comes with embedding cloud compliance and knowledge sharing into the workplace culture and despite common belief, cloud compliance doesn't have to be convoluted. To simplify the process, businesses should look to partner with data management vendors who understand CSPs and are equipped with the knowledge and tools required to comply in today's increasingly stringent regulatory environment.
In order to remain competitive, businesses must take advantage of the trajectory towards the cloud, whilst being acutely aware of their responsibilities and making sure their cloud strategies are aligned to their business needs and objectives.


The St. Louis Cardinals announced Wednesday that they have completed a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks, acquiring six-time National League All-Star first baseman Paul Goldschmidt in exchange for catcher Carson Kelly, right-handed pitcher Luke Weaver, minor league infielder Andy Young and the Cardinals Compensation Round B selection in the 2019 Major League Baseball amateur draft.
The 31 year old Goldschmidt has been a National League All-Star each of the past six seasons, and he is a four-time N.L. Silver Slugger award winner and three-time Rawlings Gold Glove award recipient.
Goldschmidt is the lone N.L. player to be named an All-Star each of the past six seasons.
The right-handed hitting Goldschmidt batted .290 in 2018 with 33 home runs and 83 RBI, finishing 6th in National League MVP voting.
The Cardinals are planning to hold a press conference to introduce Goldschmidt on Friday in St. Louis.

Guto Bebb MP Calls for Better Mobile Network Coverage in Wales
Wednesday, July 20th, 2016 (2:30 am) - Score 337
The UK Government's Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Wales, Guto Bebb MP, has warned that Welsh homes and businesses risk being "left behind" by poor mobile (3G, 4G) network coverage if the industry doesn't work together on a solution.
In keeping with that the MP for Aberconwy has setup an early autumn conference, which will bring together Ofcom, Mobile Network Operators (O2, EE (BT), Three UK and Vodafone), farming unions, business groups, local authorities and landowners as part of a new drive to tackle the issue.
At least one of the changes on the table is a plan to mirror the recent tweak in England, which relaxed the rules so that mobile operators could build masts up to 25 metres tall without needing planning permission (the current rule for Wales is still 15m). "It is absolutely right that communities are consulted about the impact of masts, but the lack of coverage needs to be addressed if Wales is to get the best possible mobile coverage," said Guto.
Guto Bebb MP said:
"I don't need surveys to understand the need for decent mobile connectivity right across Wales. It is vital for small and medium size companies and home-based enterprises to develop and grow their business in the rural Welsh economy. And I absolutely recognise that we are not quite there yet, but we are continuing to take steps to improve it.
We need to ensure Wales is not left behind. We now rightfully expect our mobile devices to work reliably wherever we are, be it at home, at work, in a car, or in the fields of Powys."
Guto hopes to ensure that operators "find it at least as easy as England to invest," which is a fairly low bar to set. On top of that one of the biggest issues stem from the problem of gaining affordable access to install new infrastructure on private land.
Some of these challenges are being addressed by a major update to the Electronic Communications Code (ECC), but private land owners are bitterly opposed to that (here). No doubt Guto will learn about some of these challenges for himself in the autumn.
At the end of last year Ofcom revealed that 84% of premises in Wales could access a 2G mobile service, while 67% could get 3G and only 20% were able to benefit from the latest 4G networks. No doubt this has improved a lot since then, but there's still plenty of work left to do.

Edwards Air Force Base, originally known as Muroc Field, is the main test flight center for the US Air Force. It has been used since the 1940's for flight test of advanced aircraft, rocketplanes, and air-dropped aerospace vehicles launched from B-29, B-50, B-52, F-15, 747 or L-1011 carrier aircraft.
AKA: Muroc. Status: xRet. 30.04.2000. First Launch: 1931-02-21. Last Launch: 2013-05-01. Number: 385 . Duration: 8.83 days. Location: Edwards AFB, California. Longitude: -117.85 deg. Latitude: 34.97 deg. Apogee: 702 km (436 mi).
Minimum Inclination: 51.0 degrees. Maximum Inclination: 145.0 degrees.
Edwards AFB is home to the Air Force Flight Test Center. In addition to its role in military flight testing and providing a landing strip and facilities for NASA's Space Shuttle program, Edwards has also hosted activities that have contributed to the nation's missile programs. Rocketry goes back to pre-World War II days when the California Institute of Technology Guggenheim Aeronautics Laboratory used sites at the location then known as Muroc Army Air Field to test primitive engine designs. In the 1990s, this tradition is carried on by Phillips Laboratory.
Experimental Rocket Engine Test Station. In April 1947 Aerojet Engineering Corporation received the contract for the initial set of test stands and the Corps of Engineers received responsibility for design and construction of nontechnical facilities. Construction costs between November 1949 and December 31, 1952, would amount to $5 million. Construction of the technical facilities began in February 1950. As work proceeded, the facility came under the command of the newly formed Air Research and Development Command (ARDC).
Test Stand 1-5 received its baptism by fire on February 26, 1952, testing a BOMARC engine from Aerojet Engineering Corporation. Within a week, Test Stand 1-3 withstood the blast from a Navaho missile engine.
With the establishment of the Western Development Division (WDD) at Inglewood, California, under Brig. Gen. Bernard A. Schriever in July 1954, the Engine Test Station played an important role in the Air Force's Atlas ICBM program. The first Atlas engine test-firing occurred in November 1954. The G.A. Fuller Construction Company received a contract in 1955 for another test stand, and in 1956, the ALCO Company completed construction on a Missile Assembly Building.
With the addition of more testing facilities, "captive testing" of Atlas, Thor, and other missile propulsion systems continued through the 1950s. The tests were mostly successful. However, an Atlas missile explosion on March 27, 1959, destroyed Test Stand 1-A.
At the time of the Atlas mishap, experiments using small 2.75-inch thick rockets were demonstrating the feasibility of launching missiles from underground silos. The testing expanded to launch one-third scale and then full-scale tethered Minuteman missiles from underground silos. On September 15, 1959, the first of eight full-scale tethered launches used a Minuteman ICBM with a partially charged first stage and dummy second and third stages. With the missile attached to a 2,000-foot nylon cable, the feasibility of silo launching was demonstrated. The successful testing significantly contributed to decisions about how and where to deploy Minuteman missiles.
Also in 1959, the Wright Air Development Center transferred responsibility for rocket propulsion development to the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC). Four years later, the test stands and associated facilities at Edwards were designated the Rocket Propulsion Laboratory (RPL). Rocket boosters for missiles, spacecraft, and military satellites continued to be tested through the end of the Cold War and beyond. In 1987, RPL was redesignated the Astronautics Laboratory. On December 13, 1990, the Astronautics Laboratory was merged into a larger research organization. This new organization, Phillips Laboratory, combined the assets of four Air Force research facilities. Although headquartered at Kirtland AFB, New Mexico, Phillips maintains an active presence at Edwards at former Astronautics Laboratory facilities.

Q: What do we say when a person doesn't support someone in need? When a friend doesn't stand by his friend in need, what expression do we use for it?
I'm particularly looking for a phrasal verb. The sentence should be in positive form, as I've already written the negative form "not stand by someone". It should be like "run away/turn someone's face away/close the doors".

A: There are several ways to say support is no longer being given

turn their back on
  turn away (from)
disappear
  ignore
  neglect (particularly used with children and pets)
stopped taking his calls (another way of saying ignore)
blanked (can also mean ignore)

usage may also depend on context, examples

The supporters of the President have turned their backs on the latest proposals
  When the homeless man asked for money, people just turned away
  When she needed him the most, he just disappeared
  All his pleas for help were ignored
  The starving cat was left at home and neglected for a week.
  The agent who had been so helpful, recently stopped taking my calls
  When I asked for help, he blanked as if he didn't know what I was talking about

A: You could also use desert, even though it's not a phrasal verb.
(Note that desert is a bit different from ignore. The word desert implies "leaving"; with ignore, one might stay but pretend that they do not see or notice the need. This word may not be the best choice on all occasions; I added this answer because I think desert could fit many instances of such an occasion you described in the question.)

From Macmillan:

desert
  [transitive] to leave someone in a situation where they have no help or support
a story in which a woman deserts her husband

Some examples around the web:

He took off on a joint mission with another RAF fighter pilot, but, when he saw a flock of enemy planes nearby, he deserted his friend.
  --In the Zone: The Twilight World of Rod Serling by Peter Wolfe, page 143.
He left his friend in the water for more than eight hours while he went back to his room. He deserted his friend in time of need.
  --'Deserted Friend'. The Milwaukee Sentinel - Aug 13, 1969.

A: "turn a blind eye" See turn a blind eye.
Also "left me in a/the lurch". See leave someone in the lurch.

Tokyo, Japan – If an electric car is overkill for you but you still want to say you're solar-charging your way to work and back, you might want to look into an electric bike — and move to Japan.
Sanyo has erected a solar parking lot for electric bikes inTokushima Prefecture, located on Shikoku Island. Bikers simply park their bike, remove the battery, and place it in the charging bay. The solar power re-charger is 100-percent independent of any conventional power source.

The outcome of this suit was the same as the Eike v. Allergan, Inc. in the Seventh Circuit—class dismissed. Unlike Judge Posner's typically curt, fanciful opinion in Eike, which tossed out the claims for lack of constitutional standing, District of Massachusetts Judge Mark Wolf found that federal regulation of the prescription eye drops preempted the state-law fraud claims. Judge Wolf's thorough analysis is worth a careful read.
The same St. Louis, Missouri law firms that represented Illinois and Missouri residents in Eike filed suit in the District of Massachusetts on behalf of Gustavensen and other Massachusetts and New York residents. The suit asserted that Alcon and its co-defendants intentionally designed eye-drop vials to deliver a drop that the average eye could not fully absorb, and that the overflow harmed consumers who payed for unused solution.
Under FDA guidance documents, eye drops and their containers are "sterile products," and any alterations made to them are considered "major changes" that require preapproval by the agency. If the Gustavesen plaintiffs prevailed, the defendants' products would be out of compliance with state law, requiring a redesign of at least the container's dropper tip.
Because the defendants could not comply with state law without FDA permission and assistance, Judge Wolf held that federal law impliedly preempted the suit. In doing so, he rejected Gustavesen's argument that FDA had previously allowed several manufacturers to change their sterile containers without preapproval. When interpreting a federal regulation, the judge explained, an agency's promulgated standard, not its past actions, are most relevant.
During arguments on the motion to dismiss, Judge Wolf sua sponte asked the parties whether the defendants could have avoided the impossibility of simultaneous state and federal law compliance by submitting differently designed containers to FDA when they sought initial approval. He sought supplemental briefing to determine whether such an opportunity would defeat preemption. After weighing the conflicting precedents, the judge sided with the defendants.
Consumer class-action defendants routinely argue federal preemption in motions to dismiss, but of late, have found little success with the argument. Closely-regulated product manufacturers, such as drug makers, should thus find Judge Wolf's decision encouraging.
Gustavesen is the latest defeat for the St. Louis law firms that have filed copycat eye-drop class actions around the country. Eike, as noted previously, failed for lack of standing, as did another suit in the District of New Jersey, Cottrell v. Alcon Laboratories. We trust that the Third Circuit, which is currently considering Cottrell's appeal, will affirm and bring all of this ludicrous litigation to a merciful end. We will (no pun intended) keep an eye out for that decision.

LIFE OF SHIRDI SAI BABA
ASSURANCE OF SAI BABA
SHIRDI SAI BABA BHAJANS
LEGACY OF SAI BABA OF SHIRDI
TEMPLE COMPLEX SHIRDI
Shri Saibaba of Shirdi lived between 1838 and 1918, whose real name, birthplace and date of birth are not known. An Indian spiritual guru and a fakir that transcended the barriers of religions, Saibaba of Shirdi was regarded with great reverence by both Hindu and Muslim followers. He lived in a mosque and after death his body was cremated in a temple.
His philosophy ingrained 'Shraddha' meaning faith and 'Saburi' meaning compassion. According to him Shraddha and Saburi were the supreme attributes to reach the state of godliness.
It is believed that at a tender age of 16 yrs Shri Saibaba arrived at the village of Shirdi in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra and remained their till his death. He found shelter in Khandoba temple, where a villager Mahalsapathi in the temple addressed him as Sai or Saint.
Lived an extremely simple and austere life, sleeping on the floor of temple and later taking a ruined mosque as his shelter. With his arrival to Shirdi, in no time he began exhibiting a hypnotic attraction among people as they began flocking to him. He is attributed many miracles doing things that were beyond a mortal's power. He never discouraged these attributes and soon his fame spread like wild fire. Many pilgrims came seeking his blessings. Such was his hypnotism that even the mundane of his activities attracted large crowds.
Popular among both Hindus and Muslims, Shri Saibaba became a great building force between the two disparate communities. He regularly recited Hindu and Muslim prayers. His Hindu followers considered him to be an avatar or reincarnation of Shiva and Dattatreya. Sai Baba did not leave any written works. All his teachings were oral and catchy. His sayings were short, crisp and in layman language with which the common mass could easily associate.
Encouraged charity and said, "Unless there is some relationship or connection, nobody goes anywhere. If any men or creatures come to you, do not discourteously drive them away, but receive them well and treat them with due respect."
Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi was unique in the sense that he lived his message through the essence of his being. He lived among the common people adorning a torn kafni (long robe), sleeping over a mat while using brick as his headrest and got his food by begging. Such was his smile that radiated a mystical charisma and deep seated inward look that hypnotized the people who visited him.
His most concise message for one and all alike was "Why fear when I am here". Saibaba said that he was a slave in the service of those who loved him. He was ever living to help those who turn to him and that he has to take care of his children day and night.
Saibaba's mission was to restore belief in god and according to him, "I give people what they want in the hope that they will begin to want what I want to give them (knowledge of the Ultimate)." He then taught values of total surrender to the Almighty Master (ALLAH MALIK EK- The only ONE) and experiences his grace.
Today, Shri Saibaba has millions of devotees in India and abroad. Shirdi, the obscure village in Maharashtra has become a pilgrimage destination much as Bethlehem, Jerusalem or Varanasi. With over 25,000 pilgrims thronging in here each day the number of pilgrims climb to over a hundred thousand on holidays and festival days. There are over 2,000 major Sai temples in different parts of India and 150 abroad in places as far-flung as Canada and Kenya, Singapore and England.

I shall be ever active and vigorous even after leaving this earthly body.
My tomb shall bless and speak the needs of my devotees.
I shall be active and vigorous even from my tomb.
My mortal remains would speak from my tomb.
I am ever living to help and guide all, who come to me, who surrender to me and who seek refuge in me.

The Saibaba temple is situated in the heart of Shirdi village spreading in approximately 200sqmts, attracting thousands of pilgrims from across the world. The temple premises has several of important sites connected to Saibaba of Shirdi that are venerated by all the devotees. Here we are discussing the important sites inside the complex of Shirdi Saibaba temple.
Chavadi
Chavadi literally means village office. In Shirdi Sai temple Chavadi is located on the right side of Dwarkamai. Saibaba used to alternatively sleep in Chavadi, during the last decades of his life. Chavadi is open to devotees from 5am to 9pm. Inside the Chavadi there is large portrait of Saibaba. It also has a wooden bed on which Saibaba was given his last bath before passed away in Dwarkamai. The building also has the framed photo of the cross-legged Saibaba which is taken out on procession on festivals and each Sunday.
Khandoba temple
Khandoba temple holds a special place in Shirdi, since this was the site which saw the coming of Saibaba in his tender years dressed in kafni. It is believed that when this young man, with flowing beards and sparkling eyes, approached the temple premises as one of the guest of a wedding party, the temple priest Mhalsapati greeted him as 'Ya Sai'. This name led to the appellation and evolution of one of the most admired spiritual gurus of India.
Earlier the temple lay on the periphery of the village and Khandoba was the tutelary deity of the Mhalsapati family. Peaceful and secluded ambience of the temple impressed Saibaba. At the entrance to the temple is a large banyan tree which is mentioned in the 'Shri Sai Satcharitra' as the place where the bullock cart halted. It is now commemorated with a small shrine and 'padukas' or footwear of Saibaba lay at its base.
Samadhi Mandir
Samadhi Mandir houses Saibaba's tomb and was originally constructed as a wada (large private house) during Saibaba's last years. The Samadhi Mandir has the statue of Saibaba all in white marble sitting in relaxed, natural and majestic demeanor gazing at the millions of devotees who throng the temple for his blessings.
The daily routine of the temple resumes at 5 in the morning with Bhoopali, a morning song, and closes at 10 in the night after the Shej aarati is sung. Only on three occasions the temple is kept open overnight i.e. on Gurupurnima, Dassera, and Ramnavmi. Every Thursday and on each festival, a Palakhi with Baba's photo is taken out from the temple.
Gurusthan
Gurusthan means the place of the Guru. It is significant because here Saibaba spent most of his time here, when he first came to Shirdi. It is also the same place where, according to Saibaba, the tomb of his own guru was located by the Neem tree. The neem tree is still extant in the Gurusthan and there is also a pair of marble padukas on a pedestal, a 'Shivalinga' and a statue of Baba. A small dhuni on a stand is kept in front of the shrine, which is lit on Thursday and Friday. Gurusthan is a wonderful place sit and meditate in peace that generates an inner peace leading to unison with Sai Baba.
Dwarkamai
Dwarkamai in one of the cherished treasure troves of Shirdi associated with Saibaba. When Shri Sai Baba came to Shridhi with a marriage procession, he stayed at Dwarkamai and remained there till the very end of his life. It is situated on the right of the entrance of Samadhi Mandir. Here Saibaba used to heal the sufferers and the sick.
Dwarkamai used to be an old mosque in a very bad shape. Saibaba restored its sanctity turning it into Dwarkamai. It has a portrait of Saibaba and a big stone where he used to sit. Dwarkamai has the Kolamba, water pot and the grinding stone associated with Saibaba. It also has a chariot and a palkhi.
Lendi Gardens
Lendi is an important place where Saibaba used to spend his time everyday. It has some tombs, a shrine and a perpetually burning lamp lit by Saibaba and placed between the two trees he planted.

Banana Tossed at Black Philadelphia Flyer Player on Ice
started: 09/23/11 2:15 pm | updated: 09/28/11 10:51 am
Usually Philadelphia sports fans are labeled with the ugliest behavior. However, in London, Ontario Canada where the Flyers played the Red Wings on Thursday night a fan threw a banana onto the ice at Flyers winger Wayne Simmonds who is black - one of the few black players in the NHL.
Gary Bettman, the NHL commissioner commented, "We have millions of great fans who show tremendous respect for our players and for the game. The obviously stupid and ignorant action by one individual is in no way representative of our fans or the people of London, Ontario."
Tell that to the rest of the Philadelphia fans who never threw a snowball at Santa Claus.
(1) response
by: iradiotom - Philadelphia, PA | responded: 09/28 10:51 am
There has been an arrest! The guy who threw the banana on the ice at Simmonds has been arrested and charged under the trespass to property act, a provincial statute.
London police chief Brad Duncan announced that Christopher Moorhouse, 26, of London, threw the banana at Simmonds, one of the few black players in the NHL, during a shootout attempt at the John Labatt Centre on Sept. 22.
"Mr. Moorhouse has been served with a part three summons, and if convicted of this offence - could be liable to a fine of not more than $2,000," Duncan said. "This is a provincial offense and not a criminal charge, and will be dealt with in the provincial offenses court.
"This incident affected, not only our local community, it was across the national and international plane - and obviously individuals have very strong feelings about what occurred and I just wanted to indicate this individual has expressed remorse, notwithstanding the actions that he undertook, but we don't want individuals to go beyond what the court will do in terms of the penalty."
Duncan expressed concerns about possible retribution for Moorhouse by "vigilantism." Fans of the game had offered more than $2,000 in a reward for Moorhouse's arrest using social media.
Comcast-Spectacor Peter Luukko, president of the Flyers and the Global Spectrum company that manages the John Labatt Centre, was grateful for the support of the local community in London that came forward with information about Moorhouse.
"We would like to express our gratitude to the City of London, the police department and the many fans who came forward with information leading to this arrest," Luukko said in a statement. "We fully support the efforts to prosecute this individual. We have zero tolerance when it comes to this type of foolish behaviour. We will not tolerate it at the John Labatt Centre nor any of the other facilities we manage. The Philadelphia Flyers look forward to our annual preseason game next fall and playing again in our home away from home, the John Labatt Centre."
