Four More Years
So, Barack Obama has been re-elected to serve as President of the United States of America for another four years, and we couldn't be happier. Whilst we should probably remain impartial so as not to offend any clients who perhaps preferred his opponent, we think he was by far the better candidate. Only time will tell if he can follow through on his promises and other reasons he gave the American public for voting for him. It makes us wonder about our voting system, and how we elect a party rather than a single being. Is it because, as Brits, we aren't overly friendly or complimentative so can't imagine selecting a single person? How dare they get so much attention? With a hoard of celebrity supporters, Hollywood will certainly be celebrating tonight. But with everyone lending their opinions, it can become all too easy to be quickly bogged down by other people's thoughts and forget what your own stance in life, is. There's one thing that you should always remember and that is nothing good ever came from doing nothing. So it's time to go out there and live. If you want to alter whatever position you are in, perhaps at work or elsewhere, only you can change it.
It doesn't matter whether you support the Democratic party or the Republican party – you just need to like parties. With so much to get downhearted and low about, it's so important to enjoy life as much as you can. If there's something you've been wanting to do, but have perhaps been put off by others' opinions, or you're just nervous about undertaking a task for the first time, it just takes that final leap of faith. So why not engage in some time with any of the gorgeous London escorts that fill our gallery? The city is a large place, made even bigger if you find yourself alone. Perhaps in the city on business, it can be hard to find your way around a giant place like our heaving metropolis, so it's good to find someone with a bit of knowledge that can show you the best bits about town.
It seems that it's all too easy to miss the sights that we walk past everyday, not really appreciating what they have to offer. This isn't possible with any of the ladies in our gallery; they're far too gorgeous to ignore. And with the potential to have a fantastic tour guide show you the sights, why pass up on that opportunity? It saves you spending all our time wandering around the town, not knowing the best places to go, the best museums to visit, the best bars to drink in. It's important that you be free, live as you want. Anything is possible.

Jaguar Land Rover has finally pulled the wraps off the fastest and most powerful F-Pace yet - the Jaguar F-Pace SVR. The performance SUV is making its public debut at the New York Auto Show which kicks-off today. With the SVR treatment, this particular Jaguar F-Pace SVR comes with an enhanced chassis and improved aerodynamics that are said to offer optimum performance in all conditions. Engineered by JLR's Special Vehicle Operations (SVO), the new Jaguar F-Pace SVR comes with a 44 per cent increase in power output, compared to the standard F-Pace.
The Jaguar F-Pace is powered by a 5.0-litre V8 supercharged petrol engine that churns out about 542 bhp and develops a meaty 680 Nm of peak torque and comes with a Sport Shift Selector. The performance SUV is capable of doing a 0-100 kmph sprint in 4.3 seconds, before reaching an electronically limited top speed of 283kmph. The upgraded chassis has progressive front and rear springs that are 30 and 10 per cent stiffer respectively and incorporate an anti-roll bar specification that contributes to a 5 per cent reduction in body roll.
While the basic exterior design is pretty much similar to the standard F-Pace, there are several visual upgrades, some of them pertaining to the SUV's improved aerodynamics. The aerodynamic enhancements include larger air intakes up front along with vents on the side fenders that lower pressure in the wheel arches, reduce lift, and provide additional cooling while aiding in optimising high-speed stability. Furthermore, the signature SVR bonnet features vents that help extract hot air from the engine bay, while the new wheel arch extensions and underbody cladding give the F-Pace SVR an imposing low-slung muscular stance.
Jaguar F-Pace SVR is offered with a set of lightweight forged alloy wheels that come in two sizes - 21-inch and 22-inch, which are wider at the rear by 25 mm for better handling. The rear end of the SUV features a new bumper housing the quad tailpipes of the Active Exhaust system, while the side strakes aid in aerodynamic performance by smoothing airflow away from the rear of the vehicle. Furthermore, the SUV comes with a Variable Valve Active Exhaust System offering that beauty exhaust note associated with an SVR.
The cabin also comes with a host of updates including the new features slimline performance front seats with embossed SVR logo, while the rear seats are also designed to match the sporty character of the SUV. The cabin also features the SVR branded steering wheel with tactile aluminium paddle shifters. For in-car entertainment, the F-Pace SVR is equipped with the advanced Touch Pro infotainment system with 10-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch HD instrument cluster along with 4G WiFi that can take up to eight devices. JLR offers four different interior trim options - Red with Jet, Light Oyster with Jet, Siena Tan with Jet and Jet with Light Oyster stitching.
On the equipment front, the F-Pace SVR is the first in its family to get Jaguar's rear Electronic Active Differential (EAD), along with a range of advanced technologies like - Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD), optimised Adaptive Dynamics suspension, Electronic Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) and Dynamic Driving Mode, all of which are bespoke to SVR. Engaging Dynamic mode initiates faster, more responsive gearshifts, sharper throttle responses and increased steering response for a more engaging driving experience in all conditions. The SVR also gets and all-wheel drive, all surface progress control and adaptive surface response.

Control is a wonderful thing – and for most of us, it is completely elusive. As someone with ongoing heart issues, and a much loved little dog with a severe health condition – I feel well qualified to speak on this subject. Having raised and adored small dogs for years, I have been lucky. Now, not so much.
When Poobah was born, one of two, she was very small. Her brother went to live with a wonderful young woman in Spokane who intended to show him in obedience. She has not disappointed, as Bogey is a major success, and has gone on to star in agility competitions as well as "carting." Dearest Poo has simply been loved and cuddled. She is almost eight years old. And, now we are dealing with what I suspected we would – kidney disease.
When I saw how small she was at birth, I knew but yet hoped I was wrong. Since I did not want to risk breaking someone else's heart, she stayed here. It was diagnosed a few months ago and we are doing the best we can – with my beloved veterinary clinic giving me much needed backup if needed. My dog nanny, Lisa, is a great help. So, Poo and I take it day to day.
The thing is, we are a bit alike – small, fierce and determined. I will do all in my power for this little dog, and there is no doubt in my mind she knows it. The end will come, but she will know she is loved. I have no ability to understand people who easily relinquish control or refuse to even accept it in the first place. It gets to me. I look at her sweet face and I start to break. Then I remember that need to stay together for her and for me. I hold her close and relish her little kisses. I remember also that I am a survivor and that I am not afraid. Even as I became dizzy and fell on my walk a month ago, I was thinking all the time. I controlled and protected myself the best I could thus minimizing my injuries. I have found that I am an anomaly. My cardiologist and nurses are in awe of my ability to take charge of my health. Clearly they are used to patients who are incapable of seeing the part they play in their own recovery. Yet for me, there is no other way. I can't let down my team – those who work so hard to keep me going. Likewise, I am an important part of Poo's team.
I am a reactionary personality. And, I know longer think of this as a burden. I can trace it back to a time when I was a small girl. I stood in the den, next to the piano, and looked up toward the ceiling. I still remember what I said: "God, quit watching me. I can do it myself."
Remember, you are responsible for you…no one else can do it.

Brendan Boyle, Chief Executive, Ministry of Social Development spoke wise and compassionate words at the Ashburton Civic Service to remember Leigh Cleveland and Peggy Noble yesterday:
. . . Whenever people die at work, different communities of family, friends and colleagues are drawn together. We see different sides of people. Death illuminates the whole person.
The thoughts I have to share are about the work of Public Servants, such as Leigh Cleveland and Peggy Noble, and our injured colleague Lindy Curtis, whom I am pleased to say is making progress to the relief of her family, friends and colleagues.
New Zealand is a democracy, something for which many have given their lives.
Public servants rightly commit to implementing the policies of the elected government, under the law.
For all of us it is a job. For many – perhaps most of us – that job includes elements of a calling, a vocation, a commitment to others.
And so it was for Leigh Cleveland and Peggy Noble and Lindy Curtis at work last week.
In the Ministry of Social Development we say: "We will always be here to help people in need".
Leigh and Peggy were at work, being there for people in need, when they lost their lives. Lindy was there for people in need when she was shot.
They were serving people directly by providing them with information, entitlements, and services.
They will not be forgotten. Family and friends will remember and mourn them with an intimate and personal insight.
Those of us who worked with them will remember their service to New Zealand.
Like our other staff, they came to work each day prepared to face the whole range of New Zealanders who seek our services and support.
Like our other staff Leigh and Peggy responded with firmness in implementing policy, with kindness in explanation, and with intelligence in seeking solutions to people's problems.
You can't work on our front desks without empathy, sympathy and commitment to people.
In marking this tragedy, let's also mark the professionalism they showed on all the other, uneventful, days of their working lives.
All of us who are committed to public service can take pride that Leigh and Peggy were a part of us, and realise, in their loss, the importance of our own work and the public service itself.
It is an honour to be here with both families and to share your grief.
Our respect for Leigh and Peggy has been shown by government workers throughout New Zealand marking two minutes silence a week after the event and in many other ways.
It is shown in the expressions of concern for Lindy and for those affected emotionally by the experience.
Most of all, our respect is shown by our continued work – often difficult, and always challenging – to help New Zealanders to help themselves to be safe, strong and independent.
Those who do this work also need to be safe.
Their families should not have to fear that they will not return home at the end of the day.
In the days, weeks and years ahead we will continue to think about, and learn what we can from what happened.
I take my responsibility for this seriously.
I will be asking myself, over and over, what more could I have done?
I know others are doing the same thing, and that at times we feel as if we are searching in darkness.
I've heard it said that it is better "to light one candle than to curse the darkness". We are looking for those points of light, those things we can learn from what has happened.
Every action we take so that in the future staff will be safer will be a tribute to Leigh, and Peggy, and all victims of this terrible act.
But while we look for lessons, we cannot ignore the darkness.
We must not hesitate to condemn, utterly, the evil that occurred in the Ashburton office that day.
We may in time learn to what extent it was a result of social conditions, or medical issues, or psychological processes, or an act of will, or all of these.
But the victims – those who have died and those who must live with these memories – bear no responsibility for what has happened.
By seeking concrete actions for the future we honour the victims, and we push back against the darkness.
Already, our people are reflecting on what has happened and, putting aside their shock and anger, concentrating on what this means for us and our relationship with clients.
We respect those who need our services.
I see indications that we will be stronger in our expectations of mutual respect.
We will not be less tolerant but we will be more willing clearly to say what cannot be tolerated.
In that process we will begin to restore and renew trust.
But today is about this moment and honouring two whose lives have been taken because they worked for others, and recognising all those wounded and harmed by this attack.
Today is about realising, in our shared grief and loss, the strength of that community and society we work to build.
And it is about our responsibility, even at this moment, to not back away from our commitment to serve New Zealanders.
Hat tip: Lindsay Mitchell

Smart City Expo World Congress Barcelona, a New Opportunity for Public Administration
This year SCEWC will put special emphasis on new trends in urban development in collaborative economy and commons, energy innovation, sustainable mobility, co-creation and open data.
The program for this year of Smart City Expo World Congress 2016 (SCEWC) in Barcelona, which will take place from November 15th to 17th, has nearly of been finalised. As with every year since its launch, this global event will be dedicated to the future of cities and the promotion of interest among public decision makers in the Smart Cities field.
This year SCEWC will put special emphasis on new trends in urban development in collaborative economy and commons, energy innovation, sustainable mobility, co-creation and open data. Besides, it will identify opportunities for improvements in education, health and the ageing population.
The organisation has developed a program that allows cities, businesses, social entrepreneurs, start-ups, research centres and citizens initiatives to submit their strategies for a smarter and more sustainable urban world. Governance, economy, mobility, data and technology, sustainability, society, economy… We will learn about dozens of fields.
The Congress will bring together over 400 influencers and innovators to share knowledge and the challenges faced by the cities of the future. It will also try to encourage and inspire public administration to develop smarter and more sustainable cities.
14,000 visitors last yearSince its debut in 2011, SCEWC has become a global referential event in the Smart Cities field (last year brought more than 14,000 visitors to Barcelona). This professional, institutional, and social meeting point is a leading platform of ideas, networking, experiences, and international business.
Within the framework of the Smart City Expo World Congress 2016, the celebration of two other events closely linked to the Smart Cities concept will take place. On the one hand, we will have the opportunity to go to the European Summit on Circular Economy. On the other hand, there will be iWater, a meeting to discuss developments in a vital sector such as water.
Some former professors from MCS, such as Francisco Jariego, have participated in this famous Congress, which demonstrates the strength and position of Spain in the Smart Cities field. Barcelona, Madrid, Santander and many other Spanish cities are some of the best examples in the world of real Smart Cities, and their projects and developments are studied by international experts. We invite you to participate in this event, but, if you are truly interested in the Smart Cities field, do not hesitate to contact us. MCS is considered one of the most important programs of the UPM (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid).

Tube union RMT said this morning that a strike of Alstom tube maintenance staff on the Jubilee and Northern Line's that began at 19.00 last night is rock solid. Pickets have been out in force at all three Alstom tube maintenance depots.
RMT has received reports this morning of disruption and delays to south bound Northern Line services on the northern section of the Edgware branch during rush hour.
RMT General Secretary Bob Crow said:
"RMT's tube maintenance staff working for Alstom are rock solid in their support for the action that started at seven pm last night. Our members are sending out a clear signal that they are not prepared to see their living standards eroded by pitiful, sub-inflation pay offers that are frankly insulting.
"Alstom is a wealthy company and can easily afford a decent pay increase for the staff at the sharp end of its operations. RMT members are determined to secure that fair deal and are 100% unified across all depots in support for the industrial action campaign that kicked off last night."

"Interviews went well overall, just the usual questions given get old. I would like future interviewers to get to know their applicants better rather than trying to stump them on useless ethical questions. (Anyone can prepare for that just like the MCAT) This school so desperately wants to be in the ranks with the top dogs, they will have perfectly good applicants reapply (sometimes up to 5 times I've heard) just to see if they REALLY want to be a physician."

Geneva, 18 June 2019 – Rules of origin could be a game changer for Africa and enable the African Continental Free Trade Area to catalyse the continent's regional integration by generating significant gains.
Rules of origin are a "passport" enabling goods to circulate duty-free within a free trade area if those goods qualify as originating within the area. They are therefore one of the cornerstones for boosting trade on the continent.
UNCTAD estimates that the gross domestic product of most African countries could increase by up to 3% once all tariffs are eliminated, if rules of origin are made simple and business friendly.
Details of press conferences are available on the UNCTAD website.
Journalists with access to the UNCTAD virtual newsroom may download press releases and summaries of UNCTAD reports.

text: Lost capital held as collateral on the blockchain is a very real problem that drastically decreases liquidity across the network, disincentivizes staking funds in any smart contract, and cripples the growth potential of the blockchain economy as a whole. This is a smart contract system that leverages the power of external keepers, price feeds, and the 0x exchange protocol to allow ANY smart contract to give their users the ability to free up the collateral that would normally be trapped until the contract settles. Handle your smart contract logic just as you normally would, except the funds are stored in the contract collateral manager instead of your own contract (your contract still has complete control of the logic by which funds are payed out). Users can overcollateralize their positions according to agreed upon risk parameters, then submit a 0x order for any ERC20 token and BAM! They can hold their collateral in any asset they choose and trade it as they please, provided it stays above the minimum required collateralization ratio. I believe this has huge implications for the viability of secured debt, payment channels, and decentralized finance in general. Would love to hear any feedback!

Spring Sing 2017 saw more applicants than in any other year of the talent show's 72-year history.
The 15 members of the Spring Sing Committee narrowed down this year's around 100 applicants to the final 17 performers that will appear onstage Friday. Among the committee members are Executive Director Paige Allenspach and talent directors Angela Navas, Chelsey Brody and Kayla Samuels.
Allenspach, a fourth-year communication studies student, was selected in May 2016 as director of the Spring Sing Committee. This fall, she selected Navas, a third-year molecular, cell and development biology student, Brody, a third-year political science student and Samuels, a second-year psychology student, to become talent directors.
In fall, the Spring Sing Committee released an online application for prospective performers. The application asked the candidates why they wanted to be in the show and allowed them to attach a video recording of them performing as a prescreening. Artists could apply under five categories: solo/duet, band, a cappella/choral ensemble, production and exhibition.
The Spring Sing Committee usually selects 15 to 17 acts for the event every year. The panel has no predefined criteria for what it wants to see, the talent directors said.
"If the performance resonates with the Spring Sing Committee, and we want to just display that to the UCLA community as a whole, then I guess that's the criteria," Brody said.
Navas said one thing talent directors consider is the effort students put into their applications. Allenspach said they seek a sense of Bruin pride in applicants.
"We're essentially looking for genuine and raw talent," Allenspach said. "We want to see people who can appreciate what Spring Sing is and what it does for the UCLA community, because it really is a place where we can all come together and celebrate what it means to be a Bruin."
Around 80 of the 100 applicants were given audition calls this year, Samuels said.
Auditions for Spring Sing occurred over the fourth week of winter quarter in Ackerman Grand Ballroom and Kerckhoff Grand Salon.
In addition to Allenspach and the talent directors, the other 11 members of the Spring Sing Committee watched the auditions as well. Performers ranged from artists releasing their own albums - like Griff Clawson - to those who have never performed in an arena as large as Pauley Pavilion before - like Haylee Hessell.
Though Allenspach doesn't have experience in musical performance, she said her involvement with the Student Alumni Association since her freshman year helped her decide which performers will be a good fit for Spring Sing.
"I don't really love listening to Top 40," Allenspach said. "I really like finding random talent, and so I think that's really come out (in Spring Sing) as well, in just reaching out and seeing what UCLA has to offer."
For Allenspach, the South Asian a cappella group Naya Zamaana fit this criteria. A memorable audition moment for her was talking to the members of the group that sings mashups of Hindi songs. She said most of the committee had never heard of Naya Zamaana before, but got goosebumps at the prospect of selecting a group that had never been a part of Spring Sing's history.
"It was a really humbling moment to watch them audition and see something very different brought to the table," Allenspach said.
Another noteworthy audition was that of Chris Pree and Munir Griffin, who encouraged the committee to clap their hands along to their music during their energetic tryout, Allenspach said.
While judging the auditions, the committee members kept in mind that they needed a balanced blend of all five types of acts. They seek diversity in a number of criteria such as genre and the types of instruments being played. The talent directors said the hardest part of their role is having to choose the final performers that go into the event.
"We just want to create a really full show," Samuels said.
"When we pick the final 17, it's really about seeing the bigger picture, which is really hard because you watch all the acts and fall in love with some of them," Allenspach said. "(It's about) understanding that this event is for 9,000 people and creating something that the whole UCLA community will love at the end."
After 30 hours of auditions, the talent directors notified the final 17 groups of their selection in the fifth week of winter quarter. They began individually visiting the artists during rehearsals, helping them sculpt their acts for the stage by giving them feedback using their background in music and the performing arts. They help artists manage the timing of their pieces, envision their performances on stage and become more confident.
"We're there to just facilitate (the process of improving their performances) and make them the best performers they can be," Samuels said.
"It's more just working with them," Navas said. "We're not trying to change them; We're just trying to bring out their talent."
For Allenspach, Spring Sing remains an iconic part of Bruin tradition because it brings together the UCLA community to celebrate the melange of talent that exists on campus.
Allenspach said she was blown away by the talent she saw onstage at Spring Sing in her first year of UCLA, from Company's skits that made her laugh to music performed by 2014 contestants Eric Jung and Alex Liu. She was a part of the behind-the-scenes work at the 2014 Spring Sing and knew since then that she wanted to be a bigger part of the show.
As executive director of the event, she now fulfills her desire of being involved with Spring Sing.
"When I went to Spring Sing in my freshman year, it was one of those defining moments where I realized, 'Wow, I love this school'," Allenspach said. "So for me, I'm just really emotionally attached to the show and I love everything that it represents."
Hannah Connery drove to Las Vegas to film scenes for a Spring Sing comedy sketch with a 101-degree fever, coughing throughout the 12-hour video shoot.
Connery, a third-year theater student, joined the ensemble Company this year because she was allured by the prospect of writing, filming and acting in Spring Sing's comic relief team. The 13-person comedy troupe will perform live sketches and project prerecorded videos in between the talent acts at Spring Sing.
This year, one of the sketches called for an intensive, out-of-state filming process. Set in Las Vegas, the sketch required Company members to make the 4-hour drive to the city at 5 a.m. and shoot from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., only to return the following Sunday morning.
Although Connery spent the whole day shooting with her fever, she made sure to make the most of her night in Las Vegas by going out with her fellow Company members to the Strip after filming, she said.
"We had to go out of state for the sketch, so we decided to just make a day out of it," Connery said.
Connery was initially attracted to the comedy group when she viewed its riveting performances during Spring Sing and learned about Company. Connery laughed at the sketches throughout the night, and by the end of the event, Connery knew she had to try out for Company during her time at UCLA, she said.
One of Connery's favorite sketches to watch during her first year was the "I Can't Even Deal" music video from Spring Sing 2015. The music video was centered on the insignificant struggles of all Bruins, Connery said.
"(The music video) was so relevant to all of us," Connery said. "Although it was not the only sketch that made me want to join Company, it was definitely one of them."
"I Can't Even Deal" was based off common plights of the average Bruin, like not getting the right sandwich at Bruin Café or having clothes dumped on the floor of the laundry room. It was an effective use of humor to bring together the experiences of UCLA students, said Jake Dvorsky, a third-year theater student and a member of Company.
"When I watched 'I Can't Even Deal' and 'Flight of the Walkingjay' my freshman year, I just thought the sketches were genius and laughed so hard," Dvorsky said. "I felt like I was watching the veterans of 'Saturday Night Live.'"
A year after attending his first Spring Sing in 2015, Dvorsky auditioned for Company and was offered a spot after his solo audition and group callback in 2016.
The purpose of the Company application process is to gauge how well students can let go of their inhibitions and be comfortable portraying absurdity in an innovative way, said Caroline Desler, a third-year human biology and society student and Company director on the Student Alumni Association's Spring Sing committee.
"We want to avoid having one-trick ponies because we want fresh material," Desler said.
Immediately after being accepted onto the team, Dvorsky practiced writing three scripts to adjust himself to the comedy-sketch style, which proved to be a difficult experience, he said.
"You cannot just be naturally funny," Dvorsky said. "You have to know how to write and collaborate with others to get a sketch out."
Dvorsky adapted to the writing style and began to find comedic inspiration in seemingly commonplace occurrences. For Spring Sing 2016, Dvorsky wrote "Hover Bruins," a sketch about an imaginary UCLA club that races hoverboards, after seeing several athletes hoverboarding down Bruin Walk, he said.
"Hover Bruins" was Dvorsky's first sketch that was shown at Spring Sing, making it a memorable albeit laborious process, he said. Since the sketch is based on the premise of the secret hoverboarding club meeting at night on campus, Dvorsky had to schedule rehearsal times that often spanned from 1 a.m. to 4 a.m.
Sometimes sketches turn out to be even more absurd than planned. One of this year's sketches - which are top secret until shown at Spring Sing - required renting an animal that turned out to be even higher maintenance than they thought, Dvorsky said.
"Little did we know said animal would decide to poop and pee every two minutes on the clock," Dvorsky said. "Factoring in time to clean up animal excrement into shooting time is just one of the bizarre things that you learn to accept being (in) Company."
Although the ridiculousness of many of Company's sketches require intense planning and strange settings, the sketches add laughter to one of the most unifying and enduring Bruin traditions, Connery said.
"We make these sketches out of passing thoughts we have as we go about being UCLA students," Connery said. "The parodying and the exaggerating (are what make) audiences laugh and simultaneously be proud of being a Bruin."

New York, Sep 11, 2003
Biometric technology has been used for years as a method to secure sensitive corporate and government facilities by identifying and confirming a person's identity based on physiological or behavioral characteristics. Biometric systems use technologies such as fingerprint matching, face recognition, iris identification and signature or keystroke dynamics.
By the end of this year, U.S. and foreign governments expect to have fingerprint and face scanners in place at air and sea ports. Early next year, U.S. officials will issue biometric visas and passports to travelers as a means of preventing the entrance of terrorists and immigration violators while still allowing travelers to enter without delay.
But the biggest challenge will be to meet the Oct. 26, 2004, deadline set by Congress for providing the new documents with biometric identifiers to the millions who will need them in order to enter the United States. Upgrading computer systems at border crossings also poses a major hurdle.
Aside from the logistical obstacles, there are problems with the biometric technology itself. No biometric system is perfect. At some point, all either falsely match some people with images on file or fail to properly recognize them. When the sensitivity of biometric systems is adjusted to reduce one type of error, the likelihood that another kind will occur generally increases.
Sorting out such errors could lengthen lines at travel checkpoints, possibly hurting trade or tourism. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), facial recognition systems in 2001 and 2002 added 9.5 seconds to the process of passing through a doorway. And as the watch lists of wanted suspects grow, face-recognition systems – the technology preferred by the U.N. agency that sets travel standards – continue to struggle to identify people.
However, biometric standardization is the beginning of a more accurate, more reliable, and continually improving system. The InterNational Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS) has begun to pave the way with three new biometric standards, which have successfully completed public review and are expected to be published as American National Standards by the end of the year.
The standards community, biometrics industry leaders, and other technology experts will converge September 22-24, 2003, for the 2003 Biometric Consortium Conference to showcase recent advances in the field and to examine technological and security issues facing the biometrics industry. The two-and-half-day conference will include a special session on research that will address topics such as the societal and political implications of deploying biometrics as well other presentations, seminars and panel discussions on biometric-based solutions for homeland security. ANSI staff will be in attendance at booth #202. Members and other interested parties are invited to stop by and find out how ANSI is addressing urgent national priorities and efforts that support homeland security.
The Biometric Consortium Conference provides a forum to discuss government and commercial implementations and initiatives, recent advances on the technology as well as biometric business models. Standards developments, research and evaluation of biometric technologies will also be addressed.
The Biometric Consortium Conference is scheduled for September 22-24, 2003 at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia.

Let's follow part 1
It looks like that A2Q1 is fine but at least the problem is narrowed down to this DC-DC buck converter which brings the 26V rail to 5V.
I am starting to suspect A2U1 but I didn't have enought time to do any measurement so I am not yet sure were the problem is.
I hope to find the problem next week.

Reuben is the fourth born child in a family of six children.His parents are subsistence farmers and have managed get their children through primary school but are now they are struggling with the high costs of secondary education.
Up to the end of last year Reuben's parents had just about managed to pay for the two oldest boy's school fees by selling any excess produce and borrowing the rest. The oldest boy has now completed school. However school fees have doubled in the last couple of years and without help it is doubtful whether Reuben will be able to follow his older brother.Reuben's younger sister, Racheal has been sponsored through Project Luangwa for the past year.
As we have supported his sister Reuben decided to appeal to us and see if we could help.He is a lovely boy and very like his sister in looks.Also like his sister he is quiet and well mannered. In spite of having to travel many kilometres to and from school each day he has been getting exceptionally good results in his end of term exams throughout 2018.He would greatly benefit from a bicycle for travelling to school and we have added this as an optional extra if the sponsor's funds allow.He wants to have the chance to train as a secondary school teacher if he manages to complete school.

Highwave AutoDogMug
Going on life's greatest outdoor adventures with your dog can be an enriching experience for both you and your pet. However, letting your dog drink on the go can be quite a hassle since you'll be carrying two contraptions – a water bottle and a bowl. You'd be surprised to learn that the AutoDogMug is now here to give you two different devices rolled into one convenient package.
The AutoDogMug, despite its 'Auto' name, is not an automatic dog drinking device. Instead, its design calls for the integration of a fully collapsible water bowl right in the lid of the water bottle. The design allows you to easily squeeze the water bottle so that water will be pushed straight up into the bowl where your dog will be licking with gusto. And once it's done, all you need to do is to release the squeeze and the excess water on the bowl goes right back into the bottle.
It's an ingenious system that takes the hassle off having to bring two separate pet drinking contraptions.
The mug is made of pet-safe materials and is guaranteed to be food-safe, too. There's never a hint of chemical or nasty odor that is included in the water that your dog will be drinking. It comes with a removable Velcro strap that makes it super easy to attach to one's backpack, gear or even hold conveniently on the wrist. A nifty addition will be to get a carabiner attachment so you can hook it in the holder of the bowl. This should make it a lot easier to clip onto your belt loop.
You don't have to carry two pet drinking devices when you can only have the AutoDogMug to take care of your pet's hydration needs. It is a very simple solution that surprisingly works.

American Eagle Gets a New Wardrobe
It seems to me that an article of clothing's gender often comes more from how it's worn that what sex it was intended for when it was designed and marketed. Certain cultural fads disrupt this from time to time, but as fads have the tendency to change you can never count on them. (Think men can't wear lace? A mere 200 years ago that was all the rage, and it was pretty accepted in the '60s too. Men can't wear dresses? Your grandfather probably wore one as a child, plus take a look outside of Western culture… …you get my drift.)
As a perfect example of how clothes get their gender from being worn, take these jeans and t-shirts at American Eagle Outfitters:Really size is the only thing that noticeably differentiates them… and we all know that not every girl who shops at AE is a size 00! So, have a same-sized couple both wear men's ensemble in size 30-32 and small (or women's in size 6 and large) and I would guess that no one would notice the difference.
(The guy would complain about the size of his "women's" jeans pockets, though.)
So, anyhow,… American Eagle Outfitters has a dress code that prohibits men from wearing women's clothing, and women from wearing mens' clothing. …or rather, they had this rule until they were forced to drop that clause in their dress code this month!
Make the Road New York, a transgender charity organization, campaigned against AE's dress code, which was a violation of New York's Human Rights Law (businesses can't discriminate based on gender identity.)
This was one of the first court rulings on dress codes using New York's Human Rights Law – but there will probably be more coming shortly. Most businesses at least have a line about the length a man's hair can be…
Kelly permalinkJuly 15, 2010 11:43 am
Sounds like someone had nothing to do….. since when do we care who the clothes are "made" for? We wear them anyways, even when they don't really fit!!! I want mine to fit like a glove

Goodwill is probably one of my favorite places to shop. I know some people would turn their nose up or rather die than walk into a thrift store. You don't know what you're missing, my friend! If you've never shopped at Goodwill, there are a few things you should know that will undoubtedly improve your shopping experience.
1. If you shop at a Goodwill in a nice neighborhood, chances are the items they sell will be of better quality.
I mainly shop at one Goodwill that's in a pretty well-to-do area, and I consistently find really nice things. I've bought tons of clothes at this particular store, with labels from places like Banana Republic, Ann Taylor/Ann Taylor Loft, GAP, Old Navy, J. Crew, and a bunch more. Seriously! Really good stuff, in good condition. I've even found items that still had the tags attached. The Goodwill I frequent also buys stuff from the local Target, which means brand new stuff at a great discount. My Goodwill currently has a bunch of Halloween costumes and accessories for sale, a good majority of which is brand new and still in the packaging.
2. Shopping at Goodwill is often hit or miss, and you have to be willing to sift through duds to find treasure.
There are plenty of times that I go to Goodwill ready to burn a hole in my pocket only to leave empty-handed. It happens! I also make sure I have the time to really look through the racks (if I'm shopping for clothes). My store organizes clothes by type of item, then by size, and then by color. I usually start with clothes that are my size, but I will often look through the next size up. I normally wear a size S, but I often find things in a M that fit pretty well. There will be a hoard of ugly, outdated garments in any thrift store, but if you're willing to go through everything, I guarantee you'll find good stuff! Every once in a while I find superb vintage pieces as well. Example: I own a fabulous vintage black velvet blazer I found at my favorite Goodwill, and it only cost me $6. A piece like that would cost MUCH more in a vintage boutique or antiques shop.
3. Think outside the box and keep an open mind. Just because it's ugly now doesn't mean it has to stay that way!
I've found a lot of great home items at Goodwill that I plan on tweaking to fit my decor style. Like the piece of art, but hate the frame? Paint it! Pretty much anything can be improved with a little glue and paint.
Items also need not be used for their intended purpose. For example, I bought a very large wooden magazine rack yesterday, which I plan on painting and distressing for use as a blanket caddy.
I also found a cute wire basket that I loved but didn't immediately have any idea concerning its purpose in our home. I realized I had no good storage for my belts, so I rolled them up and the basket is now their home.
There you have it! Those are my three tips for having a great experience while browsing the racks at your local Goodwill.
Happy shopping!
Remember to follow me to see all my latest posts, and don't forget to share me with your friends!

Dear Premier Wynne:
It is essential for the government to reduce the province's deficit in a fair, balanced and fiscally responsible way. The financially responsible approach is to spend our tax dollars on public services, not interest payments on debt.
Ontario faces major challenges – gridlock, a struggling economy, and rising income inequality. But we also have opportunities to make innovative changes that will allow us to make long-term investments to secure our future.
You have shown a willingness to cooperate across party lines in the search for solutions that will benefit Ontario. In this spirit, we have submitted our recommendations to the 2013 budget. In particular, I would like to highlight a few suggestions that will help us live within our means while improving public services.
1. Save $1 billion annually by merging the school boards
Merging the Catholic and public school boards will provide ongoing savings of an estimated $1.3 billion per year. These savings will allow us to reinvest in the classroom and provide higher quality education for our children.
2. Create dedicated funding for transit and active transportation
You have said that you are open to improving our transportation system with funds for public transit. Now it's time for action. We need new, dedicated sources of revenue to fund public transit, as well as direct funding for safe streets with cycling and walking infrastructure.
3. Reduce poverty and pollution
The deceptively named Clean Energy Benefit rewards the wasteful use of energy to the tune of $1 billion per year. We can reduce pollution and poverty by using this money instead to fund programs that support our most vulnerable citizens including a targeted energy rebate program and funding the recommendations from the Commission to Review Social Assistance.
4. Invest in our environment and science
We need to be good stewards of water for our children and future generations. By stopping operational funding for the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA), the Prime Minister has refused to protect Canada's water. Without the sound science and data the ELA provides, the safety of Ontario's freshwater resources is at risk. You can step in and bridge funding to keep the ELA running, before it's too late.
5. Support local job creation
Businesses in the emerging clean-tech sector can seize opportunities to transform our economy: improve productivity, facilitate innovation, create jobs, address climate change, and have a positive influence on the well-being of our communities. This is a win-win for the economy and environment. By closing corporate tax loopholes designed in and for yesterday's economy, we can invest in the right incentives to spur job creation and business development in the new global economy.
Premier Wynne, I thank you for your consideration of these recommendations.
I have one final request. Last year, changes to 69 acts, including eight environmentally significant laws affecting the Ministry of Natural Resources, were buried in the 327 page omnibus budget bill. This was not honest, transparent or good governance.
Deceptive omnibus budget bills weaken democracy and public participation, and undermine transparency and accountability. This year, I ask that you please do the right thing and not hide changes to significant legislation – including to our environmental protections – in the 2013 budget bill.
Mike Schreiner
Leader, Green Party of Ontario

Virgin Mobile USA
Symbol: VM
Hometown: Warren, NJ
Website: www.virginmobileusa.com
Founded: 2002
Employees: 442
Date of IPO: October 10, 2007
Shares: 27.5 million
Offer price: $15
Underwriters: Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Bear Stearns
The company's background: Prepaid MVNO Virgin Mobile USA finally fulfilled long-standing rumors of an IPO this October when it announced its intent to file for a $506 million offering. The announcement followed a very successful $2.2 billion IPO from its U.K. counterpart last summer. Virgin Mobile USA is a joint venture founded in July 2002 by the Virgin Group and Sprint Nextel, both of which retain a stake in the company post-IPO.
How did the IPO go? Virgin Mobile USA ended up raising just $412.5 million after opening up at the lower end of expected share prices: $15 from an expected $15 to $17 share price. The shares were trading at about $15.75 at the end of the day, a mere 5 percent raise from the IPO price. Sprint, Best Buy and Freedom Wireless sold a combined two million shares in the IPO. Sprint also sold $136 million of its shares to Virgin Mobile USA before the offering, and is receiving $45 million from the proceeds to pay off debt.

This January, the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) opens Jacob Lawrence: The American Struggle, the first museum exhibition to feature the celebrated series of paintings, Struggle: From the History of the American People (1954–56), by Jacob Lawrence. Painted during the Civil Rights era by one of the best-known black American artists of the 20th century, the series of 30 panels depicts pivotal moments in early American history with an emphasis on the contributions that black people, Native Americans, and women made in shaping our nation's founding and identity. The exhibition, organized by PEM and touring nationally through 2021, tackles a question central to Lawrence's work: "What is the cost of democracy for all?" PEM celebrates the exhibition opening with FREE museum admission all weekend long — Saturday, January 18, through Monday, January 20 — and a full roster of programming, including live music, storytelling, artmaking and more.

The secret to healthy glowing skin is staying well hydrated and protecting and feeding your skin from the inside out. If you are reading this article and you are in your early 20s, you may have smooth plump skin that seems resilient to the effects of the sun. You may heal quickly and never seem to have dry skin.This is how it should be in your 20s. Don't be fooled, however, into thinking that time won't catch up to you. What you do in your early years will definitely impact how gracefully you age. The more intense your sun exposure in your early years, the faster you will age and it may become noticeable as soon as your early 30s. A little care now, will go along way so, find a non-toxic sunscreen and eat foods that have natural sunscreen protection abilities.
If you are a little older and youthful carefree living is catching up with you, well don't fret, you can reverse some of the damage and keep a youthful glow. Again, sunscreen and diet are keys to healthy, happy skin.
The best foods for skin health provide vitamins, minerals and super nutrient anti-oxidants and of course, hydration!
1. Watermelon
This fresh summer fruit is about 90 percent water and rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidant. This fruit will keep you hydrated, while fighting inflammation and supporting collagen formation. One of the main anti-ageing compounds found in watermelon is a carotenoid, Lycopene. Lycopene is a free radical scavenger so it can help prevent damage from too much sun exposure. It also contains significant levels of Vitamin C, B5, copper and magnesium.
2 Cucumber
Cucumbers provide us with a variety of health-supportive phytonutrients. Included among these phytonutrients are flavonoids (apigenin, luteolin, quercetin, and kaempferol), lignans (pinoresinol, lariciresinol, and secoisolariciresinol), and triterpenes (cucurbitacins A, B, C, and D).
Cucumbers are an excellent source of vitamin K and molybdenum. They are also a very good source of the pantothenic acid. They are also a good source of copper, potassium, manganese, vitamin C, phosphorus, magnesium, biotin, and vitamin B1. They also contain the important skin, hair and nail health-promoting mineral silica.
3. Parsley
This herb is more than decoration for your plate. It is rich in Vitamin C which offers is an antioxidant and helps to build collagen. The flavonoids in parsley—especially luteolin—have been shown to function as antioxidants that combine with highly reactive oxygen-containing molecules (called oxygen radicals) and help prevent oxygen-based damage to cells. In addition, extracts from parsley have been used in animal studies to help increase the antioxidant capacity of the blood.
It also contains Glutathione, an important intracellular detoxifier that helps brighten and lighten skin.
4. Berries
Sweet summer berries are truly natures candy. Bright reds and deep purples are indications of their health benefits. The pigments in berries help strengthen blood vessels and skin cells. Resveratrol is one of the anti-oxidants that protects against UV damage.
5. Broccoli
Rich in Vitamin C to protect and repair skin as well as contains DIM to help metabolize hormones.
6. Asparagus
A summer bbq favourite. toss it with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar and enjoy the benefits of glutathione
Aloe Vera: The clear gel from the inside of the leaves is healing when applied topically and taken in internally. This wonder plant is hydrating and contains minerals and MSM. It helps grow hair and is anti-inflammatory. Combine Aloe gel, cucumber and coconut water for a refreshing summer beverage.
7. Wild Salmon
This tasty local fish is anti-inflammatory and health promoting with its abundance of omega 3 fatty acids and carotenoids. Salmon oil is a good option to avoid over consuming heavy metals.
8. Avocado
You can't go wrong indulging in guacamole when you know you are getting a load of Phytosterols to manage inflammation, carotenoids to prevent and reverse sun damage along with Glutathione and vitamin A.
9. Tomatoes
Eating red helps keep skin from turning red. Volunteers who consumed 5 tablespoons of high-in-lycopene tomato paste daily for 3 months had nearly 25% more protection against sunburn in one study. Even better, skin had more collagen, which prevents sagging. Another reason to toss an extra tomato into your salad: German scientists report that higher skin levels of this antioxidant correlate to fewer fine lines and furrows.
10. Olives
For beautiful mediterranean skin eat your olives and olive oil. Olives are a good source of the antioxidant vitamin E, and they also contain small amounts of antioxidant minerals like selenium and zinc. However, it's the phytonutrient content of olives that makes them unique as an antioxidant-rich food.
Perhaps the best-studied antioxidant phytonutrient found in olives is oleuropein. Oleuropein is found exclusively in olives, and it's been shown to function as an antioxidant nutrient in a variety of ways. Intake of oleuropein has been shown to decrease oxidation of LDL cholesterol; to scavenge nitric oxide (a reactive oxygen-containing molecule); to lower several markers of oxidative stress; and to help protect nerve cells from oxygen-related damage.
Consumption of olives has also been shown to raise glutathione levels!
So go and enjoy the summer but make sure to wear your sunscreen, apply a vitamin C serum and pack a picnic filled with summer's bounty.

One of the most brightly colored of all flowers in the flower bed nasturtiums (tropaeolum majus) are an annual, and a favorite posy that your mother and grandmother enjoyed. The cream, white, yellow, orange and red flowers are low growing and are great for both containers and when planted directly in the flower bed.
Nasturtiums may be cascading, in the form of a bush, and come in a climbing form, giving the gardener a plethora of choices of shapes and forms for use in the garden. A border of nasturtiums will make any flowerbed pop with rich, vibrant color.
Nasturtiums are edible if not grown with poisonous chemicals. If you like watercress sandwiches, you'll love nasturtium sandwiches. These edible flowers are delicious and lovely in salads with other greens.
Nasturtium flowers are used in a similar way as are capers. They add a splash of color when grown in the vegetable garden, too. Nasturtiums are said to taste peppery or like radishes. Or use the flowers to decorate a cake.
If you have a child that you'd like to interest in gardening, have him or her grow nasturtiums. The seeds are large and simple to see to plant. Also, the flower grows quickly, allowing for fast plant rewards for young and old gardeners alike. Nasturtiums thrive in hot weather and enjoy cool weather, too.
One of the best benefits is that butterflies and other insects love the flowers and nectar of this sturdy, colorful plant. Birds also enjoy nasturtium. Deer do not like this plant, however.
Nasturtium Varieties
Over 50 varieties of nasturtiums are available for us to enjoy. Choose a well-drained area with plenty of sun to plant your dwarf, standard, variegated, climbing and trailing varieties. Just be sure to plant the seeds or plants away from flowers that need constant feeding, watering and coddling.
Nasturtiums need none of that. Choose either a variety that offers a variety of colors or choose a single colored type for uniformity.
Some great companion plants for nasturtiums include:
- Petunias
- Cosmos.
- French marigold.
Nasturtium flower come in colors such as orange, pink or red. The foliage may be light chartreuse or gold, as well as a lovely medium green.
A couple of popular varieties of nasturtium include:
Alaska nasturtium, which is a 12-15 inch trailing plant. The flowers are gold, red, orange and yellow, with green leaves with white speckles.
Empress of India nasturtium, which has fringed bright yellow blooms. This is a climbing nasturtium which can get up to 15 ft high and is perennial in warm gardening zones such as 9-11.
Strawberry Ice nasturtium. As the name describes, this lovely flower is deep gold color but with a splash of strawberry red at the bottom of each petal. Depending on the area where it is planted, Strawberry Ice either climbs or trails up to 16 inches long.
Nasturtium "Red Troika" has an abundance of bright red blooms on sturdy medium green plants.
Growing Nasturtiums
You may easily start your nasturtium plants indoors, which is especially convenient in places with a short growing season. Start your baby nasturtiums from seed indoors four to six weeks before the expected date of the last frost in the spring.
The seeds of nasturtiums are large, and some come coated, so they are easy to see and plant. Place the individual seeds or pairs of seeds in a container with potting soil, place in a sunny spot in your house or porch. Keep the soil evenly moist until the first seedlings emerge.
After a few weeks and when the nighttime temperatures warm up, start hardening off your small nasturtium plants outdoors, covering them if the temperature drops.
When the danger of last frost has passed the little plants can be planted outdoors or in you outdoor flower pots.
Nasturtium flowers are also easily grown by directly sowing the seeds outdoors. Nasturtiums enjoy full sun, so plant the seeds in a place where they will receive six to eight hours of full sun daily.
Nasturtiums also grow in partial shade, but will not bloom as well as those planted in full sun.
Nasturtiums are perfectly happy in any type of soil, and prefer poor soils. Don't fertilize your nasturtiums. They are so healthy that it's not necessary unless the ground is very poor. Plant your nasturtium seeds about ½ inch deep and about 8-12 inches apart. Germination should take place in 7-10 days. They require no special care besides watering.
How to Care for Nasturtiums
Nasturtium care is easily achieved. To successfully grow nasturtiums you should:
- Water the plants regularly. Allow them to dry out before rewatering. Never overwater nasturtiums.
- Remove faded or dead flowers. Removing spent flowers keeps the plant blooming.
- Nasturtiums might need to be cut back if they are growing in pots. Cutting the plants back keeps the nasturtiums from taking over the container.
Pests that might bother nasturtiums are:
- Caterpillars.
- Beetles.
- Slugs.
- Aphids.
- Whiteflies.
- Viruses.
If you plan on eating the leaves or flowers of your nasturtiums, you'll need to use food safe pesticides.
Growing nasturtiums remains an excellent way to get started in gardening, since the seeds are easy to plant and the flower grows and seems to thrive on neglect. Whether you are helping a child become interested in growing a garden or are an experienced gardener, try nasturtiums this growing season.
You'll be thrilled with their bright colors, hardiness and add a lot of color to your home garden or containers.

I also argued that, if they have to remove something that contains too many tracks from the same artist, they would then have to remove every single tribute, megamix and compilation mix from their website. They did not try to counter argue that.
I also sent them a link of a Mixcloud search under "Nine Inch Nails", and told them they would need to delete all that, but also any similar search results from any other artist published on their website. They did not try to counter argue that either.
But hey, result. My stuff is back online.

Spears was noticed at Cecconi's, AN Italian edifice in West Hollywood, CA, with young man surface-to-air missile Asghari. (I was simply there and that i failed to see her!) AN "eyewitness" told ET that Spears was sporting her usual uniform of white crop top—showing off the belly button ring, of course—and low-rise jeans. however what was whole totally different was her wealthy brown hair. Whoa.
I've continuously precious Spears as a brunette. Like most millennial, I'm an enormous fan of hers however less of an addict of her hair. The blonde hue she usually sports is commonly brassy and as you almost certainly grasp, you'll be able to usually see the separation of her extensions. Brit deserves higher than this! It's doable somebody got ahold of her and gave her a touch of a hair transformation. I say doable as a result of the image from the viewer could be a bit blurred. Still, it positive feels like her. "She appeared super happy, smiling and happy plenty," the viewer told ET, adding that Spears "was with 2 security guards."
I'm glad to check Spears obtaining out and touch up a delicious edifice. She recently announce a rather cryptic message on Instagram, writing concerning the stressors of living in la.
"Living in LA is such a visit !!! It will be lonely every now and then. You ne'er grasp World Health Organization to trust, and a few folks will be faux," she wrote. "I have a really tiny circle of friends, and easily do what makes ME happy!!! It breaks my heart to check the comments on my posts generally …. therefore I merely select to not look any longer … let the clever haters do what they are doing best …. hate!!!"

Ever wonder how we, women, can share in the task of Kingdom building?
I was pondering recently about matters affecting the faith and spirituality of man and I came to the point of pondering the women's task of helping build the Kingdom of God here on earth, which I realized was no small task at all.
If you think about it, women actually play a gigantic role in the building of the Kingdom. Just consider mothers – every mother's feat of raising up their children determine the building, or unbuilding, of God's Kingdom on earth.
But as we can see all around us, many children nowadays have drifted far away from the rightful path, willfully succumbing to the ways of the world, totally becoming unmindful to our divine heritage and commitments. Surely, mothers face the difficult task of putting their children back to the paths that God would want them to take. A most difficult task considering that the loudness of the call of the world dissipates the call of God in His still, small voice.
Every mother should task to re-awake and redirect her children to the path away from the worldly path but with the strong pull from worldly enticements she is facing the most difficult task of helping build the Kingdom through the exercise of her motherly role.
Thus, women, as far as mothers are concerned, truly play a significant role in the Kingdom. We are among those who hold the key in the successful establishment of God's Kingdom on earth by way of how successful we are also in raising up kids according to God's ways and not according to the ways of the world.

|To break up the long drive back to Cape Town, we spent a night in a fiberglass igloo (strangest place we've stayed so far) near the Quivertree Forest National Monument.
The guesthouse (or igloo, rather) where we stayed was also a sanctuary for orphaned and injured animals. They family kept 4 cheetahs, a warthog, a one-legged dog and many other pets. The cheetah were kept in huge enclosures and we were able to see them get fed and to pet them while they were eating. Beautiful cats. Initially, we thought the owner may have kept the cheetahs as a corny tourist attraction, but it was obvious that he genuinely cared about conservation and put a lot of time and effort into public education and trying to ensure that cheetah were able to survive in the wild. Unfortunately, it appears the Namibian government is not so interested so he spends a lot of time fighting with the bureaucrats.

Tuesday, September 12, 2017
PS Business Parks Inc.'s three properties in Florida had no electrical power but were open and operating late Monday, according to the company.
The Glendale real estate investment trust has three parks in Florida with 69 buildings, 3.87 million square feet of space and 575 tenants. Hurricane Irma impacted all three parks, located in Miami, Boca Raton and Wellington.

Press Release
SCOR acknowledges Thierry Derez's decision to resign from his position as a member of SCOR's Board of Directors, following the opinion rendered by the Haut Comité de Gouvernement d'Entreprise
SCOR was informed today of Thierry Derez's decision to resign from his post as a director of SCOR – where he sat on the Board as an individual – following the opinion rendered by the Haut Comité de Gouvernement d'Entreprise indicating that he could no longer occupy the post.
SCOR acknowledges the fact that Thierry Derez is finally facing the consequences of the general conflict of interest situation in which he found himself with regard to the Company, which were recognized by three unanimous SCOR Board decisions on August 30, September 21 and October 23 2018. This situation, which in particular was disrupting the proper functioning of the Group's management bodies, led SCOR to ask Thierry Derez to resign as a director on several occasions.
Thierry Derez's unilateral decision to "temporarily withdraw" from the Board on September 27, 2018 was not set out by law, by SCOR's bylaws or by the Internal Regulations of the Board of Directors, and therefore had no basis or legal significance.
Given Thierry Derez's refusal to face the full consequences of this situation, SCOR's lead independent director referred the matter to the Haut Comité de Gouvernement d'Entreprise (HCGE) on October 12. In an opinion rendered on October 30, the HCGE confirmed SCOR's position, in all respects and unequivocally. In particular, the HCGE confirmed that neither the Afep-Medef code nor the French Commercial Code provide for the temporary withdrawal of a director, insofar as the latter would be unable to simultaneously respect the obligations of abstention and attendance, thereby exposing himself to "serious breach of the rules of the Afep-Medef Code", and that, in these circumstances, the latter must "give up his mandate".
In no way has SCOR obstructed the exercise of Thierry Derez's mandate. The Company simply asked him to face the consequences of the unacceptable conflict of interest situation in which he placed himself.
The letter of referral from HCGE, the opinion given by that body and the letter of November 5, 2018 sent to Thierry Derez by SCOR's lead independent director asking him once again to resign, are available at www.scor.com.
This publication is an ad hoc disclosure pursuant to article 17 of the Regulation (EU) n°596/2014 of 16 April 2014.
