Just weeks away from award, the FBI last month canceled its $25 million Fingerprint Image Capture System (FICS) contract, the last of five contracts that will make up the bureau's high-profile Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS).
FBI officials said the contract was canceled because the agency determined that FICS, which would have converted an estimated 40,000 fingerprint cards a day into a digital format, can be handled by a vendor that was awarded a previous fingerprint-conversion contract under IAFIS.
In 1994, North American Morpho Inc., Tacoma, Wash., won a $35 million contract to convert the 33 million paper fingerprint cards that the FBI has on file to digital images.
Because the two contracts were so similar and North American Morpho already was set up to handle the conversions, FBI officials decided "there wasn't as much need for FICS and there would be less risk associated with" giving the work to North American Morpho, an FBI spokesman said.
The spokesman added that the FBI was not concerned that the abrupt change might cause pro-tests. North American
Morpho officials could not be reached for comment.
Imaging industry sources contradicted the FBI's reasons for the contract cancellation.
"What I'm hearing is that state and local agencies can't afford the scanners," an industry source said on the condition of anonymity.
The FBI has required scanners to capture fingerprint images at 500 dots per inch. Scanners that offer that high-end capability cost about $80,000 apiece.
Another source speculated that the contract was canceled because of limited competition.
"I believe the FBI may have started to feel a little skittish about protests if it awarded the contract to...the only bidder," the source said.
Officials at companies believed to be interested in bidding, including Lockheed Martin Corp. and a team of Northrop Grumman Data Systems and Hughes Data Systems, declined to comment.
History of Delay
The FICS cancellation marks the end to a long delay for FICS.
In 1993, the contract was delayed after Oak Ridge National Laboratories, the agency that the FBI first tapped to manage day-to-day fingerprint scanning, ran into technical difficulties.
Then, in April 1995, the FBI procurement office withdrew FICS for unknown reasons before the RFP was released.
If no protests are filed, the FBI will have finished awarding all the contracts for the $397 million IAFIS project, which is scheduled to go on-line in 1999.
So far contracts have been awarded to the following companies:
* PRC Inc. to manage the $200 million Interstate Transmission and Networking project, which will store an estimated 40 million fingerprints.
* Science Applications International Corp. to bind fingerprint images to text.
* North American Morpho to convert the existing 33 million fingerprints on paper cards to digital format.
* Lockheed Martin to develop the search engine that matches fingerprints to those found at a crime scene or to an individual who has been arrested.

The first Sunday of every month
At Our Lady of Mercy we believe that our youth are not only the future of the Church but that they are also the young Church of today.
Therefore, we have a special Mass every first Sunday of the month in which the children act as the readers, ushers, and gift bearers. They often prepare with the choir for a special musical reflection.
In addition, the priest calls the children up around the altar during the homily so that God's Word may be explained especially for them.

Sydney – Oh so amazing!
Sorry!–I'm totally behind on posting (obviously), but FYI– I actually returned to the US last Sunday (August 22) and been trying to get back into the swing of things of everyday life after vacation. Meanwhile, I'm going to catch up with my blogs from Australia the next week or so, so… enjoy! 🙂
So, we arrived in Sydney on Thursday morning, August 12, and my friend, James, picked us up from the airport. It was SO good to see him! James is another person I met from my 2006 Euro-bus-trip, along with Janelle, and I hadn't seen him in 4 years either! He gave us a LOT of great historical information about the city, surrounding areas, and more, as he was born and raised in Sydney and has lived there all his life. He also does appraisals on offices and buildings around the city, so he was extremely knowledgeable about sections of the city and info about what parts of the city were new, old, etc, etc. We went down to Bondi beach for a nice little breakfast together, and gazed at the beautiful aqua water and cute seaside houses and resorts alongside the beach. As we saw one older gentleman running along the beach in his little "speedos" (as we would call it in the US) James made a funny comment, calling them "budgie smugglers", which we found to be a HILARIOUS term that Aussies use to call those suit bottoms that men wear. Why are they called budgie smugglers, you may ask? Well a budgie is a bird, like a parakeet . . . . and um, yea . . . I'll leave the rest up to your imagination! Haha!! Julie and I have been in tears, laughing about this term for the past three days since we learned it. Too funny. That's James for you . . .
We headed down to the harbor and snapped some pics of the famous Sydney Harbor Bridge and the Sydney Opera House—which I believe are two really big iconic landmarks in the world— and I have to say I was pretty emotionally excited and moved just to be there in person. It was just one of those "so happy to be here" kind of feelings, but I'm sure being there also with James had something to do with it too! The three of us sat down for a drink on an outdoor patio with a view of the Opera House and chatted about life and love. We proceeded to check into this hotel/apartment complex that James had rented for us in the city center for the 4 nights we would be in Sydney—and WOW . . . this is by far one of the nicest places I've ever stayed in anywhere!—even in the US! Our apartment was pretty luxurious; on the 37th floor, two separate bedrooms, two bathrooms, a nice full living/dining room and kitchen area, in-room laundry washer & dryer, and a balcony that overlooked the city… brilliant!! In addition, the complex had a gym, pool, and hot tub, and Julie and I made sure to make use of the gym while we were there.
It was nice that we had several days to spend in the city, so we didn't feel that we had to rush through everything. We visited some of the markets in The Rocks area, visited in and around the Opera House, took a cocktail ferry sunset cruise around the bay, had a night out in "boys town", took pictures up in the Pylon Tower, and the biggest "event" of the whole weekend is we did the official Sydney Harbor Bridgeclimb–where you actually get suited up in these crazy protective suits, are harnessed into cable lines, climb a LOT of stairs and ladders and journey across over the TOP of the bridge for some pretty amazing views and experiences. James joined us for half the weekend–including the bridgeclimb—and it was nice to have a local Aussie to help us along and give us lots of helpful and historical information. We also met out an old friend of mine from college – Megs (Hermann), who I was good friends with in college in
the radio/TV/film program. Megs had moved to Australia about 5-6 years ago for a short time and ended up meeting a great Aussie guy and married him and has been living in Sydney ever since. They actually met us out for dinner Thursday night AND Sunday night also, and it was great to meet her husband, Alex, and his 8 year old daughter, Kate. We also met one of James' friends out one night when we had drinks on the town, and then met a whole load of Aussie boys another night when Julie and I went out on our own. That was quite a funny experience, as the 6 guys we were chatting it up with at the bar were SO fascinated and interested in us American girls and our stories and experiences.
Overall, I still wish we had more time in Sydney. I was a bit devastated that I hadn't planned ahead in order to get tickets to an Opera at the Opera House (I didn't realize how bad I really wanted to go until we were there… and by then it was too late to get tickets), and there were many beaches that we could have traveled to, but there just isn't time to fit everything in! Guess I'll have to come back again in the future!

The REINS Act: Handing the reins of public health and safety over to big corporations
By Alison Cassady
As the saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. It is well-understood in Washington, D.C. that the early actions of the new Congress communicate what the majority party's priorities will be in the coming year.
It is telling, then, that in the first legislative days of the new 115th Congress, the House of Representatives is likely to pass the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act of 2017, or REINS Act. With this legislation, Congress is granting itself unprecedented power to cater to big corporations that want to evade safety standards, pollute the environment, and otherwise game the system to their benefit.
REINS empowers corporations, not the public
It's difficult to overstate the sweeping impact the REINS Act would have on federal watchdogs' ability to hold big corporations accountable to the public interest. "Regulation" may not be a politically popular word, but these rules help to protect consumers, public health, workers, and the environment. They place limits on corporate greed and weed out bad actors. If enacted, the REINS Act would make it impossible for regulators to do their jobs. No new major rule — defined as one with an economic impact of at least $100 million — could go into effect until both chambers of Congress affirmatively approve it within a 70-day window.
Given partisan gridlock in Congress, this could result in a de facto ban on new public interest safeguards.
Supporters of the REINS Act say that the act will make the rulemaking process more democratic and members of Congress more accountable. Nothing could be further from the truth. Instead, the REINS Act subordinates the agency rulemaking process — which is governed by expertise, transparency, and stakeholder outreach — to the whims of a wildly unpopular Congress and the well-heeled lobbyists roaming its halls. Moreover, since the REINS Act deems a regulation disapproved if Congress lets the 70-day window close without action, members of Congress would not even have to cast public votes to nullify critical safeguards.
Two recent examples demonstrate how Congress could use the REINS Act to benefit powerful corporate interests at the expense of clean air and public health.
Carbon pollution limits for power plants
In 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, finalized the Clean Power Plan, which set the first-ever carbon pollution limits for the nation's power plants. In addition to cutting carbon pollution, the Clean Power Plan curbs emissions of other air pollutants that cause asthma attacks, heart attacks, and premature death.
This rule was the culmination of years of work. The scientific basis for the rule — that climate change endangers Americans' health and welfare — is predicated on the overwhelming consensus of scientists around the world. The EPA considered 4.3 million public comments, held 11 public listening sessions, and met extensively with state and tribal governments. The EPA also hosted multiple community and tribal trainings on components of the plan.
The REINS Act would have empowered Congress to summarily dismiss this expert-driven process, and given the electric power sector the last word on whether the public would enjoy cleaner air. That's because many electric utilities would have called in favors and mobilized their D.C. lobbyists to oppose any new pollution standards. Their network in Congress is extensive: During the 2014 election cycle, electric utilities contributed $21.6 million to congressional campaigns and political parties and spent $121.9 million on lobbying in 2014 and $117.9 million in 2015.
Air pollution standards for oil and gas operations
In 2016, the EPA finalized the first-ever standards for methane pollution from oil and natural gas operations. In addition to cutting methane, a super-charged global warming pollutant, the final rule averts thousands of tons of smog-forming and toxic air pollutants that pose an immediate risk to public health.
The EPA began the rulemaking process by issuing a series of technical white papers in 2014 to solicit input from experts. The agency received 26 sets of peer review comments and 43,000 public comments. After the agency proposed the methane standards, the EPA held teleconferences and webinars with state, tribal, and local leaders; considered more than 900,000 public comments; and held three public hearings.
Under the REINS Act, however, Congress would have had the final say — as would the oil and gas industry, which has opposed limits on methane leaks and holds significant sway on Capitol Hill. During the 2014 congressional election cycle, the oil and gas sector and its employees contributed $65 million. Big oil and gas spent $272 million on lobbyists in 2014 and 2015. ExxonMobil , which ranked second for methane pollution from its oil and gas operations in 2014, gave $2 million in campaign contributions in the 2014 cycle and spent more than any other oil company on lobbying in 2014 and 2015 — a combined $24.6 million.
The current version of the REINS Act likely to pass in the House has one noteworthy difference than versions that passed the House previously: it delays the effective date by one year. One can easily speculate why. President-elect Donald Trump and his industry-friendly Cabinet nominees have promised to attack a range of environmental and public health protections, as well as other important safeguards. Any EPA action to weaken clean air protections or block action on climate change, for example, likely would trigger mandatory congressional review under the REINS Act. Congress simply may not want to go on record voting for Trump's agenda and against these popular programs.
President-elect Trump arrived in DC promising to "drain the swamp" and reduce the influence of corporate lobbyists. The REINS Act offers nothing less than a corporate takeover of the means to protect public health, the environment, workers, and consumers.

China Courts to Accept Blockchain Validated Evidence
A new set of rules by Supreme Court of China allows Blockchain Validated Information as Evidence
China has continued to show its support for blockchain technology. On September 7, China's supreme people's court published new rules for the litigation process of its internet dispute dedicated courts. A part of the publication revealed that the internet court shall accept evidence that is validated by timestamps, blockchain, and digital signatures.
Back in 2017, China was the first country to implement an internet court. The court which was set up in Hangzhou has been a success. It has solved over 10,000 cases related to internet disputes. As a result, there are ongoing plans to set up two more internet courts before the end of this year.
The rules published by the Supreme Court of China is reported to be effective immediately.
China And Cryptocurrency – The Ban and the Removal
For a country that has banned cryptocurrency, it is surprising that it has gone to lengths to promote its underlying technology. China had banned Initial Coin offerings (ICOs) and cryptocurrency related activities within its borders.
As a result, there was an exodus of China-based crypto firms to countries that are more receptive to cryptocurrency. In February 2018, a report revealed that the country was planning on blocking crypto-related websites with the great firewall. Seven months later, news emerged that China was blocking over 120 offshore crypto exchanges that were targeting its citizens.
Also in August, a district in China banned the hosting of ICOs and cryptocurrencies promotional events in its business centers.
In addition to this, a total of five state regulators reiterated the country's strict stance on cryptocurrency on September 6. The regulators warned off all crypto exchanges looking to targeting its citizens.
China invests heavily in blockchain
It would seem that china's raid on cryptocurrency is not hindering the growth of blockchain. The country has openly supported the technology. Even the president of China Xi Jinping compared blockchain to a revolutionary tool.
In another report, it was revealed that China is partially funding a blockchain industrial park. As a result, China's investment in blockchain has risen to a whopping $3.57 billion.

Ube Halaya topped with latik (coconut curd) is probably one of the easiest desserts you can make. This purple yam delicacy is a Filipino favorite with its authentic ube taste and can also serve as a snack.
You might have noticed that I haven't posted for some weeks. Well, the reason is that we went home to the Philippines to spend Christmas and New Year with our families. And boy was it a blast! I'm really happy that I had a chance to cook for them including this dessert. I could easily make this here in Paris, but I wanted to use real ube that I buy from the market I used to go to frequently when still living in the Philippines. You can also use frozen grated ube as an alternative.
You can also use grated cheese as toppings, either way, I'm sure you will enjoy whichever you choose to top it off with. For the coconut curd or latik you can find the procedure in my kapit recipe. Did I mention that you can also have this for a snack? Not only that, this purple yam goodie is used as halo-halo topping or ice-cream. You can also make it a day ahead if you're planning to serve it on a special occasion so you don't have to worry about what dessert to make along with your other dishes. Give this ube dessert a try! And experience a rich and authentic ube flavored dessert!

The secret ingredient is always LOVE
Tips for Ube Halaya
- If you can't get any fresh ube or purple yam. You can use frozen grated ube that you can buy from Asian stores.
- Although optional, using ube extract or flavoring helps make the color of ube more vivid and improves the taste too.
- You can keep the dessert for three days in the fridge as long as it is kept in a proper container.
Ube Halaya
- 1 kilo fresh ube (purple yam) or frozen grated ube boiled / if using frozen let thaw
- 3 cups water for boiling the ube
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 can (14 ounces) condense milk
- ⅔ cups fresh milk
- 2 cups coconut milk
- ½ cup 125 grams butter
- 1 tsp salt
- coconut oil or butter for greasing tin molds
- First, wash the fresh ube (purple yam) to remove the dirt and sand. You can use green scotch-brite or any rough grit sponge to remove the dirt then rinse properly until completely clean.
- Prepare tin molds (llanera) by brushing with coconut oil or butter. Set aside.
- Place the ube in a large pot and add water. Bring to a boil until they are soft and tender. When they are cooked let them cool first. When the purple yam are cool enough to handle peel and grate using a grater. Then set aside.
- In the big wok over medium heat, add coconut milk, fresh milk, and salt. Let simmer and then add the grated ube (purple yam). Continue stirring and turn down the heat to avoid burning the yam.
- When everything is well incorporated add sugar and continue mixing. You can tell the mixture is cooked when it does not stick to the wok and the consistency of the mixture is gooey.
- Then add butter to the yam and continue mixing until butter is well incorporated. Make sure that the yam is cooked well for a longer shelf life. Taste and adjust sweetness according to your preference.
- Transfer into the prepared tin molds and let cool for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- Top with grated cheese or latik (coconut curd) and serve. Bon Appetit!

The Island Council of Gran Canaria and Red Eléctrica have signed an agreement for the reforestation of part of the protected natural area of the Parque Rural de Doramas.
- Latest News
The Regional Minister of Environment, Emergencies and Citizen Participation of the Island Council of Gran Canaria, Juan Manuel Brito Díaz, and the Regional Delegate for Red Eléctrica de España in the Canary Islands, Ainara Irigoyen, have today signed a collaboration agreement for the reforestation and environmental restoration in the municipality of Firgas.
Thanks to this agreement, 16.9 hectares of native laurel forest will be reforested on the Firgas Mountain within the protected natural area of the Parque Rural de Doramas, in order to restore the adequate densities of trees within this natural area, improve its state and help combat desertification and aridity of the soil. Additionally, it will contribute to the conservation of biodiversity of the island of Gran Canaria, favouring the conditions for the adequate reintroduction of the Laurel pigeon.
For the execution of the reforestation project and to carry out a complementary dissemination programme, Red Eléctrica will contribute 70,000 euros. The Regional Ministry of Environment, Emergencies and Citizen Participation of the Island Council of Gran Canaria will be responsible for the implementation and management of the project, the inspection and supervision of works, as well as the monitoring of the evolution of vegetation cover. It will also process the permits and authorisations necessary for the entity awarded the execution of the works once the project has been presented, including the dissemination activities.
Red Eléctrica Forest is an initiative that started in 2009 and is aimed at biodiversity conservation and the fight against climate change, contributing to the promotion of natural heritage and the commitment to society by increasing the natural capital the territories in which the Company's facilities are located. The initiative is of an ongoing nature and seeks to create one 'forest' each year on publicly owned land in different areas of the Spanish territory, with the collaboration of entities and public bodies.
The restoration project of the Firgas Mountain will be the twelfth 'Red Eléctrica Forest' after those already completed in Badajoz, Teruel, Cadiz, Murcia, Valencia, Basque Country, Albacete, Mallorca, Zamora and La Coruna, with an investment totalling 1. 44 million euros up to 2015.
With this initiative, Red Eléctrica has brought significant benefits to the environment with the reforestation of 665 hectares through the planting of more than 473,000 different species of trees and shrubs, which will allow around 134,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions to be offset throughout the entire life-cycle of these reforestation projects.

Death is great.
We are in his keep
Laughing and whole.
When we feel deep
In life, he dares weep
Deep in our soul
Rilke always has something to say about topics that are usually left unsaid. Death is one of those topics. We tend to avoid it until it presents itself in our reality in one form or another. Rilke didn't feel that way. He faced his demons, especially death by writing about how he perceived it. He spend days and nights watching and listening to depressed and desolate souls that were anxiously knocking on the door of death and waiting for a reply.
In his work Coda,translated by Walter Arndt, we can sense his perceptions. Just like death, the poem comes from nowhere and awakens another aspect of our reality. As Rilke points out, death is very much alive. We give it life in the hallways of our beliefs.
The playground for death is called life.Death laughs on the playground. We want to sense and feel death physically using our thoughts and emotions. We want to taste loss in order to remember nothing is lost. We want to experience trauma, so we can know the self in its diversity. We want to accept the self as a whole, within another whole in the act of death.

I love this scent! The vanilla, cinnamon and clove notes work so well together. Each note is present but none of them overwhelm the others. It was very hard for me to decide which Carnival Wax scent to buy in the 10 ML size! I'm already planning another order!

Businesses today are competing on CX
Irrespective of the size or industry, businesses today are competing mostly on customer experience (CX) instead of products and services. And to deliver good CX, which in turn helps them stay ahead of the competition, organisations must ask themselves not only what customers want now, but anticipate what they will want in the future too.
According to Angela Mace, CRM and Events director at ITWeb, the brands that thrive are those that have understood the power of CX for several years and continued to refine their CX efforts to keep up with what today's customers really want.
"Brands like Uber, AirBnB, Amazon and Apple have raised the bar and given customers the ability to enjoy experiences that are tailored to their specific needs and requirements. Other businesses should follow suit, and ask themselves what efforts they are making to understand what their customers want and how to make that happen," she says.
CX is having a dramatic impact on every organisation today. Organisations that are leading the CX game are significantly outperforming those that are lagging behind, she adds. "It's quite clear that businesses who have put themselves in a position to not only meet, but exceed, customer expectations are the ones who will thrive, and outperform their competitors."
Mace says the benefits of improving CX are many and include increasing customer engagement, building brand loyalty and trust, and even making the delivery of services more cost-effective.
"And nowhere is this more true than in government," she says. "Government agencies in South Africa are lagging behind when it comes to the level of customer experience provided by their global counterparts. However, we should also remember that public sector entities have unique challenges that make delivering consistent levels of good service a challenge."
Firstly, there is a general lack of the critical ICT skills needed to implement and run these programmes within the government. "There are also a slew of rules and regulations that govern the way data from customers must be collected, stored and used, which is complex and difficult. Moreover, government entities are also often hampered by legacy systems that make gleaning the insights needed to provide citizens with the services they want really tricky."
However, Mace says there are several tools and solutions that can help entities in both the public and private sector to improve their CX. "At ITWeb Customer Experience 2019, to be held on 15 October at The Forum in Bryanston, delegates will get to view technologies that can strengthen customer interactions. They will also get to hear from experts who will share their knowledge, to help give them a competitive edge."
Irrespective of industry, CX will remain a differentiator that is here to stay. "Businesses who are able to adapt to meet the evolving needs of their customers and who are continually looking for new ways to enhance the ease of interacting with their brand, are those who will stand out from the crowd."

Component 2
RDPA will support the new established structures of Regional Development, so they make effective and strategic use of increasing funds for the development of regions through a partnership approach
In this process RDPA Team will closely cooperate with local structures in the design and finalization of the Operational Programmes. Thus, set up a coherent and well-structured planning and programming mechanism for each region and outline a National Programme for Regional Development.
The National Framework for Regional Development (NFRD) will be developed, representing a significant cross-sectoral, area-focused, part of the National Strategy for Development and Integration, linking a range of central government institutions with socio-economic actors and institutions across the country. In this process different goals will be assessed such as sustainable economic development of the Regions, reduction of disparities by promoting the development of underdeveloped areas; reduction of negative demographic trends or the efficient use of domestic natural resources and goods.
To achieve this, partnership principles have to be applied, especially in the process of the NFRD preparation, by involving local communities and actors into the preparation of the key strategic documents.
In this perspective, civil society, private sector and local government units will play an important role by being integrated in the development of the Operational Programmes, included in the boards of Regional Development Agencies and engaged in the Regional Development projects. For this purpose partnership mechanisms are being developed such as the 'partnership boards' at national level and also in each regional management area, involving all the related actors and groups of interest.
The interventions planned in this framework will intend to strengthen the emerging institutional system of Regional Development agencies in their first years of operations. This will be achieved by the implementation of a capacity building plan for RDA-s, and also provide support for governmental structures and related Regional Development agencies. The envisaged trainings will be focused on the management of Planning, Programming and Implementation for RD, and also on the management of the grant scheme.

Editors Behind 'Handmaid's Tale,' 'This Is Us' and More Reveal How They Crafted Intense Scenes
This season's most intense television scenes had to be tenderly crafted in the editing room. Whether it was the pivotal This Is Us episode that finally revealed the death at the center of the NBC drama's story, the chilling opening moments of The Handmaid's Tale's second season or the final episode of The Looming Tower that took viewers back to 9/11, each of these scenes required a sensitive touch when cutting the footage together in order to send viewers on the right emotional journey.
Season two of Hulu's dystopian drama The Handmaid's Tale opens with one of the most terrifying scenes of the season, as June (Elisabeth Moss) and other gagged handmaids are pulled from a van and led into Fenway Park. Their confusion shifts to terror when they see gallows lining the field.
Editor Wendy Hallam Martin effectively let the scene play from June's perspective, often choosing close-ups.
"It's a point-of-view show and the narrative really comes from what she is going through," she explains. "I tended to stay on close-ups so you see the progression of her thought process. In the van, she's neutral and slightly hopeful, then her face drops."
"On the platform where nooses are hanging, you see other Handmaids but it's mostly told through her eyes in close-ups," says Martin, who adds that they tried cutting in some wide shots of Fenway because it's so iconic, but "it pulled you out of the story and it took the tension away. You want to be in [Moss'] headspace."
She did choose a wide shot for when Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) appears on the field. "Her entrance needed to be grand — capturing the gravitas of that character and what she puts the girls through. It felt right to open it up and she appears."
It was no doubt a steep challenge to cut the final episode of Hulu miniseries The Looming Tower, which is titled "9/11" and takes place on that tragic day in 2001. But rather than trying to re-create it, editor Meg Reticker focused on telling the political and personal stories of complex characters including FBI agents John O'Neill (Jeff Daniels) and Ali Soufan (Tahar Rahim).
O'Neill perished at Ground Zero, and Reticker says the trick there was "keeping him 'alive' because he really doesn't appear much in the episode, except at the beginning. Ali is keeping him alive by talking about him in Yemen. And then Robert Chesney (an FBI vet played by Bill Camp) goes to Liz's (O'Neill's girlfriend, played by Annie Parisse) house and we hear his voice on her answering machine."
The episode also includes a roughly 10-minute scene during which Soufan interrogates one of Osama bin Laden's bodyguards. "It was a complex scene that I was continuously working on," Reticker explains, of selecting the right takes of an emotional Soufan, both an FBI agent and a Muslim, who in this tense scene presents his views on "how the use of Islam was used to justify their actions."
The episode also used some real footage from Sept. 11. The editors studied hours of stock footage from the media, as well as amateur video that was recorded on the day. Notes Reticker, who was in Brooklyn on 9/11, "we used some of the footage to depict the 24-hour period but [did] not use the familiar images of the Twin Towers that would exploit the tragedy or the violence."
The "Super Bowl Sunday" episode of This Is Us finally revealed how Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) died — in the hospital following a house fire.
In a heartbreaking scene, Jack's wife, Rebecca (Mandy Moore), thinking he will recover, steps out of his hospital room to make a phone call and then grab a snack at a vending machine. That's when the doctor finds her and delivers the tragic news.
The delicate editing involved careful pacing and most importantly, staying on Moore's performance.
"Rebecca is focused on candy, phone calls. When she is on the phone, we see the doctor [rushing into Jack's room] in slow motion behind her," signaling to the viewer that something has happened, explains editor Bjorn Myrholt.
Rebecca slowly proceeds to the vending machine, increasing the discomfort as she does something so mundane. "When Rebecca finds out that Jack is dead, time slows down and the moment is played out. She's in complete disbelief," says Myrholt. "The whole episode, even from act one when we see the fire, the editing is quick and fast-paced. It's such a stark contrast to that particular scene at the vending machine."
Myrholt chose to keep the focus on Moore's face: "We tried cutting away to the doctor but I don't think it was as effective as just staying with Rebecca.
"It was a challenging scene to cut. We teased this for two seasons, so we knew there would be high expectations," he admits. "Every edit was very deliberate."

Rising young Australian driver Matt Campbell has taken Porsche to its first victory in the Bathurst 12 Hour.
Aboard the Earl Bamber Motorsport he shared with German Dirk Werner and Norwegian Dennis Olsen, Campbell emerged triumphant in a dramatic final half hour battle.
The intervention of the Safety Car due to a stopped car on Con-Rod Straight set up the final laps, with Aston Martin driver Jake Dennis leading the race and Campbell third behind Raffaele Marciello's Mercedes.
Campbell made it past Marciello with a surprise move under brakes at Hell Corner with less than 20 minutes to. The Porsche driver then hunted down leader Dennis, and slipped inside the Aston Martin driver into Forest's Elbow. From there Campbell pulled away to greet the chequered flag with 3.4 seconds to spare.
"I knew it was going to be tough but I didn't think it was going to be that tough," Cambell said.
"To do it the way we did in the last stint, was amazing. The car was perfect towards the end, and I can't thank these guys (co-drivers Werner and Olsen) enough. It was great to finally win this race, especially as it's this car's last race."
While Jake Dennis's Aston Martin the battle was on for third place as Marciello came under siege from local Supercars stars Shane van Gisbergen (Mercedes) and Chaz Mostert's BMW. Italian Marciello held on to claim the final podium position by a mere two tenths of a second.

That said the Hoodie is a good quality item, the cost is outstanding and the service from this company is second to none. No issues with the returning the item very apologetic and a replacement is on its way. Very fast turn around from ordering to receiving the item I can not recommend them highly enough.

Connected sensors embedded in comparable existing assets collect usage data and incorporate it into designs for new projects. AI systems optimize building plans by factoring in dimensions such as usability, flexibility, cost and aesthetics, and balance them according to an owner's preferences. AI systems consider the requirements of the robots and automated equipment that build the assets.
Early forms of intelligent design automation already exist. The Aditazz design platform incorporates client requirements along with physical constraints, building codes and workflows. An example of a client requirement could be that a nurse needs to be able to walk to a patient's bedside in under a minute.WEFWeWork has the capabilities to build a space at half the time and 70% of the cost of a real estate company, due to its economies of scale. Each of WeWork's newer competitors are trying to be unique in their own sense – Industrious is pitching itself to be a "premium" co-working space appealing to the older population, while WeWork's "trendy" appeal is finding favor with millennials.
Further the company is using a large data set and technology to identify ideal office locations, create the optimal office design, determine the size of its conference rooms, thus providing infrastructure as per customer expectations. Microsoft, IBM, Google will all help people become more efficient and perhaps, gain time to do more work in a day. Changing habits of where and how people work will continue to evolve.Forbes

Implementing a compliant, user-friendly information governance policy? Here's three key considerations:
Many document management systems can be challenging for end users to navigate and quickly search for information they need to do their daily tasks. The idea that productivity tends to be reduced in order to maintain regulatory compliance and vice versa isn't a choice that has to be made.
Uploading, retrieving and managing content should be a simple process, with limited interaction to the content repository of the organization in order to achieve the primary goal of productivity. Software such as Microsoft SharePoint has been reworked with the help of third party application developers to make using its features easier to use and access information.
Having a clear and understood framework of business processes (workflows) allow users to accomplish their work while abiding by government regulations. The processes from start to finish should be outlined by the organization, providing support.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram published an Op Ed by Bishop Scott Mayer in the Saturday, May 26, 2018 edition. The online edition also included a photo of Mayer with Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, taken when Curry was in the diocese last April.
Sorrow, anger, delight, joy – how do we make sense of such a range of emotions? How, in a weekend in which we see school children murdered and lovers marry can we form right actions framed in God's love?
This is the question Mayer answers in the article. And he lets people know that the love preached by Curry in England is also preached in Episcopal churches here in our diocese.
Read the article here or below.
Making Sense of Sorrow and Joy
The past few days have been an emotional roller coaster.
On Friday, we were horrified as yet another mass shooting in a school cast us into mourning.
Then early Saturday we delighted in a beautiful royal wedding, with Episcopalians especially reveling in the sermon preached by my brother bishop, the Most Rev. Michael Curry, presiding bishop of The Episcopal Church.
Later that same morning, local Episcopalians rejoiced at the election of a daughter of Fort Worth, the Rev. Carlye Hughes of Trinity Episcopal Church, as bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Newark.
Sorrow, anger, delight, joy – how do we make sense of such a range of emotions? How, in a weekend in which we see school children murdered and lovers marry can we form right actions framed in God's love?
In The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World about a conversation between Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama, the author and participant Douglas Carleton Abrams writes: "Some might wonder what our own joy has to do with countering injustice and inequality … and the suffering of the world."
". . .what the Archbishop and the Dalai Lama were saying is that the way we heal our own pain is actually by turning to the pain of others. It is a virtuous cycle. The goal is not just to create joy for ourselves but, as the Archbishop poetically phrased it, 'to be a reservoir of joy, an oasis of peace, a pool of serenity that can ripple out to all those around you.' We are most joyful when we focus on others, not on ourselves."
In the shooting, the wedding, and for Episcopalians, the election of a bishop, we stepped out of ourselves to share in the sorrow, compassion, and joy of others.
And we needed to do so, for we live in a cultural context in which bad theology and a lack of mercy cause many to think of the Church as judgmental, dogmatic, and self-righteous.
The world needs someone to proclaim and embody the Good News of God's grace, God's forgiveness, God's mercy, and God's love which has the power to change lives.
The presiding bishop's sermon had such an impact because Michael Curry tapped into the hunger of so many people for God, for an encounter with the Divine. Too often the world tells us we are not worthy of God's love, that we are lacking, that we are not enough. But Curry knows God has another message for us.
New Testament scholar William Countryman says: "What God says to you in Jesus is . . something quite unambiguous: 'You are forgiven.'
"What this means is, 'I love you anyway, no matter what. I love you not because you are particularly good nor because you are particularly repentant nor because I'm trying to bribe you or threaten you into changing. I love you because I love you.'"
Bishop Curry is being called the "surprise star of the wedding" because he spoke a potent truth when he proclaimed, "There is a power in love." And when he made it clear in so many ways that "If it's not about love, it's not about God."
And here's the thing – what Bishop Curry said in England is said in Episcopal churches in Fort Worth, indeed all over our church.
Because under the leadership of our Michael Curry, we in The Episcopal Church are increasingly clear that our calling, our peculiar voice, is to proclaim the Good News of God's mercy, undeserved forgiveness, unmerited grace, and unconditional love to a culture starving for this Good News.

Project: Upper Island Reactive Power Study
Service: HVAC
Client: Transpower
Country: New Zealand
Year: September 2012 - January 2013
Transpower is planning to install a Reactive Power Controller (RPC) in their Upper North Island (UNI), with the goal of maintaining steady state 220kV and 110kV voltages according to setpoints, as well as sufficient reactive power reserves in the area. A similar such RPC exists in the Southern Island near Christchurch. The purpose of the RPC studies was to see if this RPC design could work in such a tightly coupled system, and if so, how it would be best configured with the equipment available to be controlled, including generators, several STATCOMs, switched capacitors and transformers with on-load tap-changers.
This was a very technically challenging (and interesting) project. It was not a simple task to get the quasi-steady state simulator to work well with the RPC, and then to come up with a design and suggestions as to how to ensure the RPC properly utilized all of the available reactive power sources, while maintaining system voltages within limits and while maintaining reactive power reserves within limits. But in the end, the project was a success, and everyone involved in the project learned a lot.

It was a typical Wednesday afternoon at Edisto Beach, with the seabreeze causing the surf to run high around five, followed by a brief thunderstorm at seven to cool the sea island off again. Inside the Edisto Civic Center business leaders were gathered on June 15 to conduct their annual Edisto Chamberof Commerce business meeting and recognize community leaders. For supplying locals and visitors with their hardware store needs, the 2016 Business of the Year Award goes to Edisto True Value.

Owners Brenda Hester and Waylon Cain, a mother and son team, came to the stage to accept a certificate.
