As it turns out, what we're seeing is Julieta's bold red dress, its heaving a sign of her breathing. She's packing up her sleek Madrid apartment, preparing for a move to Portugal with her boyfriend. Only, after a chance encounter with an old friend of her daughter's, Julieta (played at this age by Emma Suárez), decides to stay in town, end her relationship with her understanding partner, and move back to the building where she once lived. There, she begins writing her estranged daughter a letter of sorts that explains everything she couldn't say while they were still in touch and living in that very building. This plunges us to a series of flashbacks where we meet a younger Julieta (played by Adriana Ugarte) who sports a punk mod style as she meets, as if by chance, a charming fisherman with whom she has a torrid one night affair on a train.
Building a story out of silence and grief, you can see why Almodóvar opted for austerity, hoping to do justice to Munro's work: Juliet, she tells us in her first story, "might have had, at some level, the idea of herself as a young woman in a Russian novel, going out into an unfamiliar, terrifying, and exhilarating landscape where the wolves would howl at night and where she would meet her fae. She did not care that this fate—in a Russian novel—would likely turn out to be dreary, or tragic, or both." The more we learn about Julieta's life, as she reveals it to herself as she does to us, it becomes clear that she was right. Though here the tragedy is much more contained and begins rather than ends with a train.
As with previous Almodóvar features like The Skin I Live In and Broken Embraces, the film shuttles back and forth between past and present to trace how it is that the vibrant, mini-skirt and blue-stocking wearing young woman in that train became the muted, near-broken woman we find wandering the streets of Madrid in the present. The Spanish director has once again created a plot so intricately constructed that any attempt to summarize it will only do it a disservice. Suffice to say that its original title, Silence, speaks to the words unsaid between mother and daughter but also between Julieta and two men in her life, whose deaths haunt her for years to come.
Try as he might to tame his more flamboyant side, the flashes of Almodovarian color, both figural and literal, are what make Julieta such a return to form for the beloved director. Deploying a mostly primary colors-palette (young Julieta is garbed in blues, the older one in reds, both popping against her bright blond locks), a gorgeously robust Alberto Iglesias score, and the types of beautifully art directed shots that feel indulgent as well as necessary (oh to live in any of the living spaces we're shown here), Julieta is as sober a Pedro melodrama as we've gotten in decades. Who knew he'd wear restraint so well?
I'm so not interested in a world where Almodóvar makes restrained movies.
I didn't like this quite as much as you Manuel but it definitely has worthwhile elements. As you menitoned that score is heaven and I love that even when Almodovar is trying to be restrained he can't help himself with all the eye popping reds. The scene which gives the movie its poster is magnficent too.
I'm totally curious as to whether Oscar will like this. Response seems to be all over the place from people i've talked to.
I thought this film was fantastic, and I really enjoyed reading your review. It makes me want to watch the film again.
Nathaniel -- Don't you hate voice-over? The entire movie is told, nothing is seen!
He pretends to deal with "real" people's feelings in this one, but everything sounds so fake and pompous and most of the characters are very poorly written (the daughter, the artist, the boyfriend).
Peggy Sue -- well, Almodovar loves to do that. it's one of his peculiarities since he's so great at showing. One of the strongest visual storytellers in the movie but he also loves "storytelling" via the characters actually TELLING THE STORIES. which is weird.
Peggy Sue: I felt similarly. There was something "put-on" about the whole thing. Nothing felt organic, and I never shook the impression away that I was watching actors and not genuine characters. Didn't like it.
I do want to see this as I'm a fan of Almodovar's work as I enjoyed I'm So Excited!.
I love it, and this movie is his most pessimistic one: people commit the same mistakes for generations, people can't communicate properly, and then people die and we don't get the chance to make peace. It's so painful.
Saw it weeks ago and didn't like it at first.
But kind of stucked in my head for days, slowburning even now.
Probably would apreciate more in second or third viewing.
I agree word by word with Peggy Sue. Fake and pompous describe this film to perfection.
And the voice over!!! There's a particular ridiculous example ( SMALL SPOILER AHEAD) when we see Julieta tossing her dauther's bithday cake year after year expecting she comes back, and only a moment later we have the voice over describing exactly what we just saw, that she tossed the cake every year. It made me mad!
Loved this movie... almodovar always and forever.
I liked it a lot; that ending in particular was very moving.

't Vliegent Hert was a Dutch East Indiaman lost on her second outgoing voyage to the Dutch East Indies (February 3, 1735). The hert or hart in her name means deer, as VOC ships were often named for animals. She belonged to the VOC chamber of Zeeland. Her captain was Cornelis van de Horst.
She carried 256 people, including sailors, soldiers, and passengers, all of whom drowned the day 't Vliegent Hert sunk.
't Vliegent Hert departed from Rammekens (Zeeland) to Batavia, accompanied by the smaller vessel Anna Catharina. Shortly after departure she got off course during a storm and ran aground on the sandbanks around the Duerloo Channel.
After hours of struggling, the crew managed to get her free from the sandbank and bring her into deeper waters and anchor the ship. Unfortunately, the damage to the hull was too great and 't Vliegent Hert sunk. All 256 crew and passengers drowned.
The wreck was first spotted in 1981. A lot of artefacts have been retrieved since. Amongst the finds were 2000 golden ducates and 5000 silver reales, wine bottles and weapons. Tin containers with food and tobacco were 'sealed' to last years.
't Vliegent Hert was a Dutch East Indiaman built in 1729 in Middelburg for the VOC, Chamber of Zeeland. It was lost in 1735.

Fans of Stranger Things may still be reeling from season 2, but that hasn't stopped executive producer Shawn Levy from offering up the details on the upcoming Stranger Things Season 3.
When is Stranger Things Season 3 release date?
An official release date isn't on the table yet, but Netflix has confirmed there will be a third season. Due to the previous timing of the first two seasons, it's quite possible that we won't see Stranger Things Season 3 until 2019. But that may be good news. According to an interview last month with David Harbour (Chief Hopper), series creators Matt and Ross Duffer are working 12-14 hours per day to bring the next season to life, and thus far the seasons have proven to be worth the wait.
For starters, it looks like Will is finally going to get some rest. Levy assures that while Will will still be involved in the show, and "dealing with stuff," he'll no longer be at "rock bottom." "We're going to give Will a break. We're not going to put (him) through hell for the third season in a row." Levy assures.
The Duffer Brothers have also insinuated that we will see more growth between Lucas (played by Caleb McLaughlin) and Max's (Sadie Sink) relationships and have stated that the third season will deal with puberty and relationships that kids develop as they're growing up.
As far as the series villains, there are several avenues that are being theorized. Without confirming the return of the Mind Flayer, The Duffer Brothers have not quite ruled it out. Insisting that though they've "shut the door on" it, it's still there, and it's very much aware of the kids, and in particular Eleven.
As if that weren't enough for Eleven to deal with, some theories speculate that Papa, Eleven's dominating father, may make a reappearance in the third installment.
The Duffer Brothers have also confirmed that this season is more fluid as far as the writing and production, with no strict boundaries for the number of episodes, even claiming this season may be shorter than the previous two, with only eight or nine episodes expected.
While Stranger Things 3 hasn't yet begun filming, actor David Harbour has claimed that it will likely begin in March or April, and just this past month, Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin) promised eager fans on Twitter that he would keep them posted as progress develops.
There's a lot more to come, so make sure you stay tuned for the latest developments on this and more!

The sad news is breaking this hour that Peter Graves has passed away at the age of 84.
Graves had a long run on Mission: Impossible, and appeared in Stalag 17. The most recent thing that I remember him being in was Seventh Heaven, when he played that preacher guy's father.
But a lot of people from my generation are going to know him best as Captain Ouver, the airline captain in the classic 1980 slapstick comedy Airplane!
So before you go looking for it, I've done the work for you. Here is Graves as Captain Ouver, asking Joey such things as "You ever seen a grown man naked?"
Farewell Mr. Graves, and thanks for the many thrills and laughs.
He'll be missed...the original Mission Impossible was still the best!

Q: Как в словаре в ключ записать первую строку а в значение вторую? Существует текстовый документ, то что в нем находиться мне не известно, знаю только что первая строчка это ключ, вторая значение, третья ключ, четвертая значение, думаю понятно.
Каким образом можно в ключ записать первую, третью и пятую строку, а в значение вторую, четвертую и шестую? Спасибо.

A: data = dict()

with open('Names.txt') as file:
    try:
        while True:
            key = next(file).rstrip()
            value = next(file).rstrip()
            data[key] = value
    except StopIteration:
        pass  # Достигнут конец файла

print(data)

Можно также читать построчно с помощью метода readline, но этот метод возвращает пустую строку, если файл закончился - но для нашей задачи может быть допустим вариант, когда ключ или значение пустая строка. Поэтому удобнее получать следующую строку через next, он выбросит исключение StopIteration, когда файл закончится.

This was reported in UK Times Online.
The attempted abortions had been carried out at the British Pregnancy Advisory Service's Blackdown clinic in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire.
Clarke reveals that paediatricians often intervene to save babies who have survived abortions.
A baby born weighing less than a soda can and believed to be the smallest ever to survive went home Tuesday after nearly six months in the hospital. ... Rumaisa Rahman's prognosis "is very good," and she is expected to have normal physical and mental development, said Dr. Jonathan Muraskas.
Madeline Mann, the previous record holder as smallest known surviving premature baby, returned to Loyola Hospital last year for a celebration. Now 15, she was described as a lively honor student, though small for her age, at 4 feet and 7 inches. According to the hospital, more than 1,700 newborns weighing less than 2 pounds have been cared for there in the past 20 years.
Of course, the abortionists kill lots of babies every day -- that are much larger than these little one -- and they say those are not really babies.


On all their adverts their superheros are bit fat. Is this how this nuggets work on them?
Well done with killing your client's brand !!
Why are chicken nuggets being associated with youth in the first place?

Hulk you, too!
I've been a fan of the Hulk since before I can remember. I mean the TV show, of course. Bill Bixby was the man, as Banner. Seeing his ice blue eyes turn green in the requisite 2 times per episode was the highlight of my childhood evening. Lou Ferrigno is still one of my childhood heroes, and I'm glad that both Hulk movies have used him in a small cameo.
The new movie is a lot different than Ang Lee's introspective and arty version that came out a few years back. That's good, and that's bad. A lot of nerd rage has been expended on the first movie, which I think gets a bad rap. This one is above average; it's no Iron Man but it's much better than the Asstastic Four, and even Superman Returns as a Deadbeat Dad Stalker and Becomes Jesus.
Ang Lee's version, Hulk, spent too much time on the origins of the big green guy and made it accidental; here they ret-con the origin over the credits, and keep the original concept that Bruce Banner bombarded himself with gamma rays intentionally, as part of an experiment. (I'm also glad that it is now acceptable to put "the" in titles again). We find Bruce (Ed Norton) hiding out in Sao Paolo in the terraced neighborhoods where City of God was filmed; he's working at a bottling plant, and communicates with a Mr. Blue over encrypted satellite transmissions to further his research into ridding himself of the gamma poisoning. General Ross, now played by William Hurt, is on his tail again with a crack team of commandos led by Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth), a British-born Russian on loan from the Royal Marines. Not since Highander, when Sean Connery played an Egyptian named Ramirez with a Scottish accent has there been such a combo.
New Hulk made of clay!
Tim Roth's Blonsky ends up being the best character in the movie. Ross sends him in blind, and he's awed and surprised when he sees Banner get Angry and gets a forklift thrown at him. When he finds out that Banner's boundless strength comes from a government project, he wants in. So while Bruce runs home to dig up his research, and accidentally bumps into old flame Betty Ross (played well by Liv Tyler's lips), Blonsky is getting juiced up with a serum developed by the military, or perhaps Major League baseball, to make super-soldiers.
There's little interplay with the characters, really; Ross and his daughter have an obvious conflict because he wants to puree Banner's blood and make better super serum, while she loves him and helps him on the lam. She and Norton, who is pretty much the same character he played in Red Dragon with occasional pants-ripping episodes, have some chemistry, but he has little in the way of motivation or desires other than to be rid of the curse. We never see the kind of guy who'd shoot himself up with gamma rays for science. Later on we meet science geek Tim Blake Nelson, who's so over the top that he ought to have an Einstein hair-do and a labcoat on. But no one goes to a Hulk movie to see characterization; they learned that with Ang Lee's version.
Green folk gentrifyin' the neighborhood
The battles are pretty damn good; the first encounter with the Hulk in Brazil is frightening enough to show the real mayhem that a ten foot tall invulnerable rampaging behemoth can wreak. The second battle at a college campus seems to showcase Ross's ineptitude; while Sam Elliot's General was cool and Machiavellian, calling in tanks, choppers, fighters and finally burying the green guy in a rockslide, the new one seems to forget that shooting Hulk is mostly just a danger to any innocent bystanders. If Blonsky didn't show up to pull some Jet Li moves on Big Green, it would have been a wash. The final fight between Banner and Blonsky is fought out in Toronto subbing for Harlem, and it's a treat. They throw in some fan service at the end, like Hulk claps, which are just silly. At least he gets to say "Hulk Smash!"
We of course get a Stan Lee cameo, as well handled as the one in Iron Man, and an even better Lou Ferrigno cameo as a security guard. He even gets some lines, which considering his speech, was a nice touch (he is nearly deaf due to a childhood infection, and has a slight impediment). It's too bad we don't get a reaction shot, since Ferrigno is still a gigantic 6'5″ beast, and it would be nice to see him dwarfed by the new Hulk.
Overall, the movie is a great summer action flick. It doesn't invest you emotionally like Iron Man did, and I'm sure it will be blown out of the water by The Dark Knight. A lot of comic book nerds love the movie over the Ang Lee version, which had arty comic book panel designs and a lot of emotional issues with Betty, Bruce and their respective fathers. I never read any of the comics except a graphic novel my Dad grabbed from a house being demolished, which had the Army fighting the Hulk in huge power suits that had too much bio- feedback. I think between the two versions, there's a great Hulk movie. Lee may have had the silly Hulk Dogs, which came from the comics I might add, but the tank fight in the desert is still the best Hulk battle on film.
So The Incredible Hulk gets 3 smashes out of four. Above average, and worth seeing in the theater, but we'll have to wait for the sequel to see a balls-out Hulk fight.

Is Crello Really the "Graphic Design Tool for Everyone"?
Those are some big claims. Does it live up to the hype? Can Crello really turn anyone into a graphic designer? We took some time to find out.
Crello is a simple graphic design tool made by Depositphotos, a stock photography company. It lets you choose templates that you can then customize with new backgrounds, different styles of text, lines, borders, stickers, icons and more.
The graphic design templates are grouped by size, so you can get images that are designed specifically for Facebook and other social media Social Media Cheat Sheet: All the Key Image Sizes to Know Social Media Cheat Sheet: All the Key Image Sizes to Know We've put together a list of all the important image sizes that you'll need on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Tumblr. Read More , common dimensions for blogs, cards, posters, flyers, and other sizes. Once you've chosen a template, you can use the typefaces selected by Crello's designers, or you can start from scratch.
You can also search the Crello photo database and use any of their free or $0.99 photos as the backdrop for your design.
If you've used Canva or Pablo, you'll be familiar with the process. It's almost exactly the same in capabilities, design process, and revenue model.
Sure, it doesn't look exactly professional — it's not a shining example of color theory How To Learn Color Theory In Less Than One Hour How To Learn Color Theory In Less Than One Hour Basic knowledge of color theory can mean the difference between an "amateur" aesthetic and a "professional" one – and it really doesn't take long to learn. Read More , and there wasn't a mountain bike icon, so I had to settle for a road bike — but for a couple minutes of work, it's not bad!
And if you use the included typefaces and font sizes from a template, you can expect really great results. The templates look phenomenal.
Of course, you can start from scratch too. Just add an image, apply a filter, and start adding text and icons.
The interface couldn't get much simpler. Everything is just a couple clicks away.
Is Crello the Tool for Everyone?
Crello is entering a crowded marketplace. Canva, Piktochart, DesignBold, Stencil, Snappa, Pablo, and lots of other options are out there offering pretty much the same functionality. And "A Graphic Design Tool for Everyone" is a pretty bold claim. Let's see if it's backed up.
I've already mentioned that there's a huge number of templates. Most of them are really nice-looking too. It seems like it's going to be tough to beat Crello on templates… until you look at Canva. Just the template type list is impressive. Menus, infographics 10 Of The Best Tools For Creating Infographics 10 Of The Best Tools For Creating Infographics The history of this visual science (or art) and tells us that infographics is by no means an invention of the digital culture. The only difference between then and now is the amount of information... Read More , book covers, resumes, even recipe cards — it has everything.
Crello is more focused on social media-friendly and marketing posts, which is probably why many people are looking for a tool like this in the first place. There certainly are other types of templates. But the selection is much more limited than what you'll find on other similar sites.
What about images? If you want to create your own graphic from scratch, you'll probably want to find the perfect image as the background. Crello certainly has a lot of images that you can use, but I found it difficult to find free images that fit my needs. Whenever I ran a search, it would only show paid options in the results.
For example, I found a free image of a jellyfish and then typed "jellyfish" into the search bar. That image didn't show up in the search results — there were only $0.99 photos displayed, which I thought was a rather user-unfriendly feature.
That being said, there are a ton of photos available if you're willing to shell out a buck.
Icons don't seem to have the same problem. A search for "bike" showed up with a number of free icons. Whether this is all by design or not, it can be annoying when you're trying to find the perfect image.
The Backgrounds tab gives you a few free illustrated options and offers lots of paid options as well.
Beyond the paid/free image issue, everything else provides a very smooth experience. Adding text and icons is super simple, and downloading and sharing are simple. You can save your projects and come back to them later, too. And the "Inspiration" images can help you get an idea of what sort of graphic you're trying to make.
Crello doesn't offer as many options as some of the other available graphic design tools out there. But if you're aiming primarily for the marketing and social media crowd, that's okay. That doesn't really make it the "tool for everyone," but it's still a decent choice and gives you a solid amount of free functionality. If you're willing to pay a couple bucks here and there for your designs, you'll get even more out of it.
In the end, it's still a young app and could get a lot more versatile with time. It's off to a good start, and it has the chance to be great.
Have you used Crello? What did you like or dislike about it? How does it compare to other similar services? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
I think platforms like Crello are great especially since it gives everyone a chance to be able to explore their own creative sides. Heck, I think even for professional designers can leverage these platforms for quick and easy outputs. I wouldn't go as far as saying these are a full replacement for a professional designer though, as how the commercial seems to advertise itself. It would be the same as saying that someone who bought a digital camera automatically is considered a photographer.

Elle Goes Gaga for October Cover
Target_Article_April.jpg
… And the October covers keep on rolling in! We know that Sandra Bullock, Miley Cyrusand now, Lady Gaga will make the rounds on our newsstands come next month.
A very normal looking Lady Gaga on the cover of Elle magazine—by her standards, anyway—explains that her latest project is a result of the time she spent recuperating from her hip surgery. "I went back to look at myself being 19, with all my Warhol books, and all my Yoko Ono and John Lennon CDs, my Rolling Stones CDs, and my Bowie, and I said, 'What would she want me to do right now," she details to Elle. "Well, she'd want you to call Jeff Koons and Robert Wilson and Marina Abramović and Inez and Vinoodh. And that's what I did."
Nicola Formichetti's former client did call Koons after Miuccia Prada introduced the two back in 2010. In fact, Koons is making a sculpture of Gaga that will be Artpop's album cover. "I'm still trying to figure out if we drugged and mind controlled him into doing this," she told Elle.
"You hide something that's culturally interesting in something else, like a pop song," she tells the glossy of her plans to take her fans to a "higher" level. "And then you blast it to the world and suddenly they discover something new. That's what I've always been doing. Now we're doing it on a higher level."
Artpop, the singer's third studio album is slated for release on November 11th. We already know that Donatella Versace is a fan.


Do you remember the story of Joseph? Joseph was a dreamer. Joseph was favored by his father. Joseph was attacked by his brothers and sold into Egyptian slavery. But, God looked down on Joseph and blessed him.
Despite the unfair treatment by his brothers, Joseph found favor in God's eyes. God elevated him to a position of leadership in Potiphar's household. Under Joseph's leadership, Potiphar's household was blessed! Potiphar trusted Joseph completely.
Until Joseph was unfairly attacked…again.
But he refused. … And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her.
Do you ever feel like Joseph? You've suffered. You've been beat down. You've been attacked unfairly. Just when things start to look up, just when you sense God's hand of blessing is on you, you get knocked down again. Someone accuses you of something that just isn't true, but you suffer the consequences anyway.
Right now, I feel like Joseph. I was beat up and left for dead by the adultery that destroyed my family. God has put my life back together and poured out His blessings on me. I am beginning to see my dreams realized as God has opened doors for my writing. My life feels unbelievable as I hear daily how God is using me to encourage others. I fall to my knees, humbled that my Savior could resurrect me from the dead and use me, use my words, for His kingdom. I truly feel like I'm living in a dream!
And then, the attacks came. Apparently, my ex-husband's version of our divorce includes accusations of multiple affairs on my part. When these accusations came to light, I was deeply hurt that anyone could believe them. I know that I have not walked this path perfectly. I know that I made some mistakes after I kicked my husband out, when I was angry with God and running from Him. But, I also know that I fled temptation in the final days of my marriage when opportunities for an affair presented themselves. I know that I have had dating relationships end because of my stance on purity. I know the work God has done in my life through the trials of the last few years. And, I know the work God has now begun through me.
I'm still trying to understand exactly why these accusations have hit me so deeply. I know they are false. I don't understand how someone can act so maliciously toward another. I can't comprehend how someone can attack because I am using my past experiences to spread the truth of God's redeeming power. I certainly can't understand how someone who has known me for twenty plus years could even believe the accusations against me—let alone try to destroy me with them.
And yet, I find myself discouraged. I find myself thinking about the one mean comment meant to discourage me, to discredit me, instead of the hundreds meant to encourage me.
Because I know this journey has been started by God, I know He will be faithful to see it through. What God has started, no man will be able to thwart!
Throughout scripture, we see how God's people were the objects of scorn and humiliation when they took a stand for Christ. Look at the prophets. They were hated and humiliated. Joseph—who fled from temptation—was wrongfully accused. Paul was repeatedly beaten and imprisoned. I could go on and on. Matthew 5 tells us that we are blessed when we are persecuted because of righteousness, that we should rejoice and be glad because our heavenly reward will be great. It is a lot easier to read than it is to live it.
I have to remember that God is my defender (Isaiah 54:17). God's defense is more effective than my own. My immediate reaction was that I wanted to type a letter and send it to an entire group of people proclaiming my innocence. I really wanted to lash out and send documents that would prove my innocence and the reality of the situation. But, as I reflected on it, I remember all the times God has come to my aid, all the times He has brought someone else along to bring the truth to light. In reality, God bringing the truth to light is far more effective than me defending myself.
What will happen? I don't know. Will these people ever accept the truth? Maybe, maybe not. Will my reputation be corrected? Only time will tell. Does it matter? No, because both God and I know the truth. I can stand before my Savior with clean hands and a pure heart and know that I am not guilty of the accusations that have been thrown at me. And that is all that matters.
I continue to try to understand why this comment hurts me so badly, but I know God will use it to make me stronger. I know He will use it to work something else into (or out of my life). I know that there is a purpose, and as I struggle to get through this discouragement I will grow even deeper in my faith.
Like I said before I know what is like to be falsely accused of something and other people (in this case my daughters) believe it. My reputation has been severely tarnished. Sometimes all I know is to hold on to God….


I don't know if you noticed but...things have changed. Oprah has her own network, Serena's grand slams are higher than her age and perm sales have plummeted.
I say all that to say, the world and the women in it are different today. There has been a shift. The modern woman is not like her momma. She is well read, well traveled and well heeled. Matrimony and motherhood are not her only aspirations. No sir! She desires for more.
So, when it comes to dating, she seeks a companion who shares similar values to her own. She doesn't want a man that can't hold her attention mentally, doesn't want to leave his state and whose wardrobe hasn't evolved.
Those that came before her, have schooled her to the game, so her BS barometer is supremely perceptive. She reads Essence, watch MTV's Guy Code Plus, having observed the way her brothers, uncles and male friends treat women, she's hip to how dudes do what they do. Steve Harvey's book just affirmed what she knew already. She knows what time it is.
Now, the old way is not totally dead. It's still a man's world, but that because she understands true power is to give it. Thing is, she's not giving it away like she use to. A man has to bring his A game.
That's why I am giving you this brotherly nudge. I want to adamantly encourage you to step your game up.
PS: If you need assistance, put your ego aside and holla at me. That's what I'm here for. Salute!


On February 21, 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued updated guidance to assist public companies with disclosure obligations under the federal securities laws relating to cybersecurity risks and incidents ("Guidance"). In addition to expanding upon the SEC's guidance on cybersecurity issued in October 2011 ("2011 Guidance"), which focused on the disclosure of cybersecurity risks and incidents, the Guidance addresses two new issues – the implementation of cybersecurity policies and procedures and the examination of insider trading prohibitions in the wake of cybersecurity incidents.
The Guidance expands on the general view of the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance as reflected in the 2011 Guidance – that cybersecurity risks and incidents may be material information triggering disclosure obligations under federal securities laws and regulations – and further identifies particular areas in which cybersecurity disclosure may be appropriate in registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as well as periodic and current reports under the Exchange Act.
The Guidance also explains that companies should avoid generalized disclosure regarding cybersecurity matters and provide information that details a company's specific approach to cybersecurity risks and incidents. Additionally, the Guidance provides that the financial impacts of a cybersecurity incident should be timely incorporated into a company's financial statements. It also notes that in meeting its disclosure obligations regarding cybersecurity risks, a company may need to disclose previous or ongoing cybersecurity events to place those risks in context.
The Guidance makes clear that information about a company's cybersecurity risks and incidents may be material nonpublic information subject to insider trading laws and other antifraud provisions. The SEC therefore expects companies to take steps to prevent directors and officers (and other corporate insiders) from trading company securities until investors have been adequately informed about the particular incident or risk. In addition, the Guidance suggests that while companies are investigating significant cybersecurity incidents, they should consider whether it may be appropriate to institute insider trading restrictions with respect to their securities.
Overall, the Guidance demonstrates the SEC's increasing attention to cybersecurity issues. This follows upon recent actions by other financial regulatory agencies, such as the New York State Department of Financial Services' implementation of its Cybersecurity Regulations.
Contact a member of Phillips Lytle's Data Security & Privacy Practice Team to discuss how to best address the Guidance in existing policies and procedures. Phillips Lytle is uniquely situated to assist clients with cybersecurity policy development and disclosure of cybersecurity risks and incidents because its lawyers include those who are former technologists, and they have assisted numerous clients in responding to data security incidents, crafting cybersecurity procedures and complying with disclosure obligations.
For questions regarding the SEC Guidance, please contact Jennifer A. Beckage at (716) 847-7093, jbeckage@ phillipslytle.com; Benjamin M. Farber at (518) 618-1218, bfarber@phillipslytle.com; or Jeffrey D. Coren at (716) 847-7024, jcoren@phillipslytle.com.

Assuming you have bought tools before, you understand that being cheap might wind up costing you much more cash in the end. You might wind up replacing a cheap tool a lot sooner than you would love to.
So, we thought the longevity of each band saw an important aspect. Although a few have been priced higher, they wound up creating a greater per dollar worth since they are going to last longer. Because of this, we rated band saws with such functions more compared to some other devices.
Ease of assembly for a band saw is highly essential. Every band saw is going to require a little tuning and assembly right from the package, not to mention the essential re-tuning when you switch blades.
Some designs had been certainly created thinking about experts customer, while others had been much more beginner friendly. If this can be your initial band saw, you'll probably save yourself a large amount of frustration and time by selecting an unit with assembly that is easy and also blade changing.
There is absolutely no way around it – in case you are planning to work with more harder woods in the future or even make cuts on larger pieces of wood, you are likely to require a far more costly band saw. There is nothing worse than buying a tool and realizing it does not have the "oomph" you have to obtain the job done.
When you are intending to utilize your band saw for decades to come, you are likely to want one with an sturdy frame and cutting area. Each time you employ your band saw you are likely to place wear on it, and also several of these designs stand up to that better compared to others.

Nevertheless, in case you would like to make much more complex, angled slices, you would be more well off investing a bit more cash.

Much more expensive devices also often be much easier to create and adjust, again helping you save considerable time. Occasionally the time saved provides up to a much greater importance than the additional cash spent up front.
We have discussed this before that, having more power is not a bad thing at all. When you are making decision to purchase a band saw, it is very likely you are intending to perform a great deal with it for decades to come, and also you truly have to think about the level of that experience.
Craftsmanship is not often about the end product much as it's around the method of creation. Ask yourself in case the experience some band saw is going to give you'll be one which will spur you to develop more or even drive you out from the dealer altogether.
A band saw is just all about how well it cuts. Band saws which are much more effortlessly adaptable and also have much more features can make for much better cuts, and also much better cuts mean much better experiences and improved final products.

Fathers who have used violence come through the doors of our visitation centers as visiting and custodial parents. Many centers have found that engaging fathers can increase safety and wellbeing for women and children and can create benefits for men themselves, but acknowledge that the work can be difficult. On this webinar, Jennifer Rose, a consultant with Futures Without Violence, and Johnny Rice II with the Vera Institute explore the challenges and benefits of engaging fathers, including how to have difficult conversations with men who have used violence. They also offer suggestions for gaining the support of your community partners in doing this work with fathers.
Visitation centers provide services to a diverse population, including members of the deaf and hard of hearing community. On this webinar, Jessalyn Frank, the state director of Communications Services for the Deaf in Minnesota, provides an overview of the deaf and hearing loss communities, including cultural and linguistic components, and strategies for communication. She also discusses the prevalence and dynamics of domestic violence within the deaf community, including barriers to accessing services. Ona Foster and Nancy Smith of the Vera Institute join Jessalyn to discuss the implications for visitation centers, and offer considerations for enhancing safety and accessibility.
This is the first webinar in the two-part series on Limited English Proficiency. Many visitation centers work with parents and children for whom English is not their primary language. To provide safe services to these families, most centers rely upon interpretation services. On this webinar, Cannon Han with the Asian & Pacific Islander Institute on Domestic Violence (API) discusses strategies and challenges to providing access to individuals with limited English proficiency. He provides an overview of interpretation services, identifies best practices related to working with interpreters, and offers suggestions for finding qualified interpreters. Cannon also discusses the technical assistance that API provides to OVW grantees on this topic.
This is the second webinar in the two-part series on Limited English Proficiency. Building on his previous webinar, Cannon Han with the Asian & Pacific Islander Institute on Domestic Violence identifies considerations for providing interpretation services for individuals with limited English proficiency in the supervised visitation setting, and discusses lessons learned. He also explores how technology might be used to meet the need for interpreters.
The location and design of your site is critical in providing safety and meeting the core values embedded in the Guiding Principles. Ona Foster and Johnny Rice II with the Vera Institute discuss a range of issues to consider when evaluating, selecting, or preparing a site for visits and exchanges, and share lessons learned from the field.
This webinar focuses on the steps communities can take to position themselves to create/enhance policies and procedures that address the post-separation safety and other needs of victims and children in their communities. The webinar discusses different ways in which collaborative members, both the core partners and consulting committee, can contribute to the development/revision of policies and procedures and will also offer suggestions for cross training to ensure all collaborative partners have the information they need to contribute in a meaningful way. Finally, the presenters discuss the community assessment, a required activity of the development phase, and offer tips and recommendations for checking in with your community.
Mission and vision statements help communicate to the larger community your purpose, goals, and how you will achieve both. They also guide the work of your consulting community, including the development of policies and procedures and decisions you make once you begin implementing. This webinar is designed to support grantee communities in the process of discussing, crafting, and/or revising mission and vision statements. It highlights the purpose of mission and vision statements and discusses important elements of both.
This webinar discusses creating and revising supervised visitation and exchange policies that account for safety of victims and children. Presenters provide an overview of the key areas around which to develop policies and highlight important considerations when drafting/revising policies. They also ground participants in the difference between policies and procedures and give an overview of structural elements of both.
Created for the core partners of the new class of 2012 Development grantees, this webinar grounds participants in the basic requirements of OVW's Supervised Visitation Grant Program. OVW and Vera staff give an overview of the parameters of the grant program, describe the technical assistance available to grantees, and answer grantees' questions.
On this webinar, Ginger Baran with the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) provides an overview of the OVW approval process, including important elements of the required deliverables, how to submit, and the factors OVW takes into consideration while reviewing grantees' materials. Ona Foster discusses the Vera Institute's role in supporting grantees in developing the deliverables for submission to OVW. Ginger also responds to commonly asked questions.

Understanding Your Rights as a New York Gun Owner After the New York SAFE Act
Gun owners in New York should be aware of the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act of 2013, which was enacted to stop criminals from buying a gun by requiring universal background checks, increases penalties, and imposes the toughest assault weapons ban in the country. But how does this law affect regular gun owners in New York?
New York SAFE Act
Governor Andrew Cuomo signed New York's Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act of 2013, also known as the "NYS SAFE Act," into law on January 15, 2013. As a result of this legislation, New York State implemented changes to its regulation of firearms in New York. The SAFE Act included important provisions, explained easier below
Banning the Possession of "High-Capacity Magazines" (regardless of when they were manufactured or sold)
"High capacity" is defined as greater than 10 rounds. Gun owners may continue to buy, sell, and possess any magazine that can hold up to 10 rounds, regardless of its date of manufacture. Buying, selling, and possession of 10 round magazines, however, is still permitted.
Beginning March 15, 2013, all private handgun, rifle or shotgun sales, or general ownership transfers (with an exception for transfers between certain family members) require a background check for the purchaser. Ammunition dealers are required to conduct background checks for all purchasers.
Creation of a Registry of Assault Weapons
Since the implementation of the SAFE Act, New York citizens owning assault weapons must register with New York State with registration renewed every five years. In addition, the SAFE Act implemented a modified definition of assault weapons with an immediate ban on those weapons.
Fortunately, most guns are not considered assault weapons and weren't affected by the SAFE Act (including the majority of guns that are used for hunting such as: any pump, lever or bolt action rifle or shotgun cannot be an assault weapon; a traditionally designed handgun; a single shot pistol or a revolver).
Banning Firearms Considered Assault Weapons Prior to the Passage of the SAFE Act
If a gun owner owned an assault weapon prior to passage of the SAFE Act, the owner must modify its characteristics to de-classify it as an assault weapon or sell it to an out-of-state dealer.
Banning the Sale of Assault Weapons Online
Requiring mental health professionals to immediately report any mental health patient posing a potential threat or danger to others. Being reported by a mental health professional could result in revocation of the owner's gun. Storing guns safely from any household member convicted of a felony or domestic violence crime or under a court order of protection.
Increasing sentences for gun crimes and penalties for shooting a first responder. Reporting stolen guns within 24-hours;
Banning the use of Bump Stocks
A bump stock modifies a weapon to simulate a machine gun, and machine guns are illegal in the state. As soon as a bump stock is attached to a firearm, it becomes illegal. But they can be bought and sold in the state without undergoing a background check.
Overall, while New York's SAFE Act does not limit the right to own and bear arms, it does provide a number of requirements, namely registration and reporting, which gun owners should be aware of to comply. This law does not interfere with the Second Amendment right to own a gun, but it does impose a number of restrictions and requirements that New York citizens must follow. The provisions imposing additional or different requirements are important to note to avoid unnecessary legal problems.

A Board-Certified Specialist! Just because a dentist may remove wisdom teeth, it does not make them a specialist.
Safety! Treatment should be performed in an accredited office-based surgery center.
Anesthesia provided by a Board-Certified Physician!
By the age of 18, the average adult has 32 teeth — with 16 teeth on the top and 16 teeth on the bottom. Each tooth in the mouth has a specific name and function. The teeth in the front of the mouth (incisors, canines, and bicuspid teeth) are ideal for grasping food and biting it into smaller pieces. The back teeth (molars) are used to grind up food into a consistency that is suitable for swallowing.
The average mouth is made to hold only 28 teeth, so it can be painful when 32 teeth try to fit into a mouth that ideally holds only 28 teeth. These four additional teeth are your third molars, also known as wisdom teeth.
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth. When they align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not generally happen. Wisdom teeth extraction is necessary when they are prevented from properly erupting within the mouth. They may grow sideways, partially emerge from the gum, and even remain trapped beneath the gum and bone. Impacted teeth can take many positions in the bone as they attempt to find a pathway that will allow them to erupt successfully.
These poorly positioned impacted teeth can cause many problems. When they have partially erupted, the opening around the teeth allows bacteria to grow and will eventually cause an infection. The result is swelling, stiffness, pain, and illness. The pressure from the erupting wisdom teeth may move other teeth and disrupt the orthodontic or natural alignment of teeth. The most serious problem occurs when tumors or cysts form around the impacted wisdom teeth, destroying the jaw bone and healthy teeth. Removal of the offending impacted teeth usually resolves these problems. Early removal is recommended to avoid such future problems and to decrease the surgical risk involved with the procedure.
With an oral examination and X-rays of the mouth, our doctors can evaluate the position of the wisdom teeth and predict if they are present or may cause future problems. Studies have shown that early evaluation and treatment result in a superior outcome for the patient. Patients are generally evaluated first in the mid-teenage years by their dentist, orthodontist, or by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. All outpatient surgery is performed under appropriate anesthesia to maximize patient comfort.
In most cases, the wisdom teeth removal is performed under local anesthesia, laughing gas (nitrous oxide/oxygen analgesia), or general anesthesia. Once the teeth are removed, the gum is sutured. To help control bleeding, bite down on the gauze placed in your mouth. You will rest under our supervision in the office until you are ready to be taken home. Upon discharge, your post-operative kit will include post-operative instructions, a prescription for pain medication, and antibiotics. Sutures that were placed during surgery will dissolve in 5–10 days. You will be given phone numbers to contact the surgeons at any time if a concern or an emergency arises after your procedure. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call us at 801-356-2229.
If removal of your wisdom teeth is recommended, The Wisdom Teeth Specialists will prepare you for your oral surgery. We will explain the details of your treatment, answer all of your questions, and work with you so that your upcoming procedure can be faced with confidence. Sedation dentistry is proven effective to reduce anxiety and eliminate discomfort for a safe and relaxing experience. Our doctors at The Wisdom Teeth Specialists will perform your oral surgery with standards that result in excellence and reliable outcomes.
Oral surgeons complete 6 years of additional training that are not required of a general dentist! Your dental provider may tell you that they've removed thousands of wisdom teeth, but it does not mean they have the same level of expertise as an OMS.
Be proactive! Get your wisdom teeth removed by a specialist in an accredited facility.
5 questions you should ask your doctor before you have your wisdom teeth removed.
1) Are they board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons?
Some dentists advertise that they remove wisdom teeth and perform oral surgery, however, lack the expertise to handle the associated complications. Our surgeons are experts in the removal of wisdom teeth. Unlike most dental practitioners, our surgeons have obtained both a dental and medical degree and are board-certified physicians dedicated to your safety and comfort.
2) Is the person administering the anesthesia a board-certified physician?
Our board-certified physicians provide expert level anesthesia and monitoring before, during, and after surgery. They have completed rigorous anesthesia training and are able to properly respond to any emergency situation to keep you or your loved ones safe.
3) Are they on staff at the local hospital, and are they in good standing?
This cannot be stressed enough! If they do not have hospital privileges, that means that they do not meet the minimum training required to obtain those privileges. If a complication does arise, they have to refer their patients to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMS) or emergency room (ER) where they will be treated by an OMS. So, why not just start with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon?
4) How will I be monitored during the procedure?
There should be at least two other staff members in the room who are trained and prepared to recognize and respond to crisis situations. There should always be vigilant monitoring. Ask if the office has EKG, blood pressure, pulse oximetry, and end-tidal carbon dioxide monitors. If your doctor doesn't have all of these, seek treatment elsewhere. It is also appropriate to ask about the office's safety record and if the doctor has ever been the subject of a disciplinary action from a professional board or local government.
The surgeons at The Wisdom Teeth Specialists perform their surgery in an accredited facility. Our facility is accredited by the American Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), and we are the only oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the state of Utah to have an accredited facility by AAAHC. This means that we have met the most rigorous requirements for patient care.
5) Do the doctor and his staff keep up with and know what the requirements are for Advanced Cardiac Life Support re-certification?
Your doctor should always have current ACLS certification, and the staff should all have CPR training AT A MINIMUM. The team at The Wisdom Teeth Specialists have all these certifications. In addition, we conduct quarterly disaster drills and emergency training for team continuing education.
Now that you have learned about wisdom teeth, see how we can help.

Julien Tassin
Julien Tassin Solo
Julien Tassin Trio
Even without using words, Julien Tassin is a storyteller. He's the kind of musician who obviously spent some time acquiring technique and skills on the guitar, but above all values the expressive power and potential of music.
His music is not just mood music, but something that transports the listener. Not by technical acrobatics, but by performing compositions that create their own little universes. It's obvious he has soaked up a wide variety of influences - as you can hear strands of blues, soul, rock and roots music in his cinematic jazz -, but it all comes together in one rich identity.
It's also obvious that Tassin intends to create a steadily expanding discography. His debut as a leader - Sweet Tension - arrived in the fall of 2018 on Igloo Records. At the end of 2019, he already returned with the solo release Momentum (Hypnote). Earlier this year, Tassin recorded and released own 'lockdown album' (Pictures From Home) and now, he once again guides you into the winter season with a new trio album. One that mainly resides in dreamy, nocturnal landscapes, with stories like thumbed polaroids that retain something intangible. Moondancer (Igloo Records) is a statement by a musician who makes sure that every note counts.

NextGen Player was on hand this past weekend to check out the massive Best Buy Canada 'Gaming Invasion 08' party that happened downtown Toronto at the Yonge-Dundas Square. It was an amazing event with dozens of gaming stations set-up playing the hottest games available this holiday. There were even a number of games playable that have not hit retail shelves including LittleBigPlanet, Gears of War 2, Guitar Hero World Tour, MotorStorm Pacific Rift and Resistance 2.
What I found most impressive about the event was the huge, dedicated tent erected solely to promote Sony's LittleBigPlanet. Immediately inside the tent you were greeted with wall-to-wall images of Sackboy, in-game scenery and characters, as well as text reinforcing the game's motto of play, create, share. I even got my picture taken in front of a huge Sackboy sticker wall that Sony is supposed to be posting on their website sometime this week. Once I get my hands on the photo I'll be sure to share on NextGen Player.
For those interested, here are some photos that Matt Vernhout and I took this week at Gaming Invasion '08. Enjoy!
