Hong Kong Rugby Union (HKRU) is delighted to announce Tanner De Witt as official gold sponsor of the Hong Kong Society for Referees for the domestic rugby league on a three year sponsorship contract beginning 2015.
The referee is an integral part of every game in any sport; they must maintain a high level of fitness and are not always the most popular people on the pitch so their commitment to the game is particularly admirable. Furthermore the domestic rugby league of Hong Kong has gone from strength to strength in recent years and none of this is possible without the commitment of the referees and the investment by the HKRU into the referee program. This partnership was especially relevant since the main aim of a referee in any sport is to guide and direct the players to ensure a fair outcome; this is something that lawyers do on a daily basis.
Tanner De Witt's long-standing involvement in the rugby scene in Hong Kong continues. Several members of the firm having represented Hong Kong at the national level including Rowan Varty, who is still a professional player and Kim Boreham.
"I'm proud to be part of a firm that has always supported Hong Kong rugby. The firm has always been there for me throughout my professional rugby career, and I am glad the referees can now benefit from their excellent support as well." said Rowan Varty.
The HKSRFUR is committed to developing the game of Rugby Football in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and promoting the Society's role as a key participant in regional and world rugby. The society aims to:

is HIPAA?
The Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a legislation proposed by U.S.
Congress in 1996 that was proposed to provide the data privacy and security
provisions to safeguard the medical information from the intruder. It strictly
protects the health information and implements policies and procedures to
safeguard it in both paper and/or electronic format. We believe that our medical
and other health information is private and is highly protected, and we want to
know who has this information, the confidentiality is protected. HIPAA gives
rights to the individual over their health information and sets rules and
limits against those information on who can look at and receive health
information. HIPAA applies to all forms of individuals' protected health
information whether it is in electronic, written, or oral format. Health
insurance companies, Health Management Organization, health plans company,
government programs, and Health care providers must follow the HIPAA
regulations during transmission of Health information. There is HIPAA privacy
rule as well as HIPAA security rule which is a subset of HIPAA privacy rule
that protect the health information that are electronically transmitted. HIPAA
security rule is highly technical whose purpose is to make sure certain
technologies follow the best practices.

Parkview Health System,
Inc. which is a nonprofit health care system that provides health care services
to individuals in U.S is tied up with the agreement to settle potential
violations of HIPAA. This violation includes any complaint from a retiring
physician alleging that Parkview had violated the HIPAA Privacy Rule. The
violation happens due to leaving medical records unattended that were
accessible to unauthorized persons that break the rule to protect the personal
health information to ineligible candidate. Negligence is happening everywhere
with lot of people frequently that causes the breaches in the privacy of
patient's medical record and data security violations. Most of the people think
that the negligence can happen by an accident and will not bring big issues to
the data privacy, but in fact negligence can bring intruder to take over the
secured data of an organization. This is not only one violation case, there are
all kinds of HIPAA violation cases out there – whether they violate the
security, administrative or technical safeguards, data breaches often occur
within certain parameters. This violation can happen in many factors like
mailing one patient's bill to unknown or previous address, emailing the record
to unidentified email address, passing medication information to third person
and many more. These violations occur due to unencrypted of their personal
data, employee negligence/error, data stored in unsecure devices, Business
associates, and notifications sent to wrong person (What is a HIPAA Violation?,
HIPAA Makes Medical Billing Secure
There are different
legislative workings at this period for the protection of Personally Identified
Information (PII). There is not a dedicated patient's medical data protection
law right now, but instead regulates primarily by industry on a
sector-by-sector basis. There are numerous sources of privacy law that are
acting in both the federal and state levels like FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting
Act), FACTA (Fair an Accurate Credit Transactions Act), COPPA (Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act), DPPA (Driver's Privacy Protection), VPPA (Video
Privacy Protection Act), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act). These sources ensure that the personal/organizational information
captured must be secured and should not be disclosed in the marker
otherwise/unless authorized by the users. These organizations/firms ensure the
Confidentiality of the data by making sure the data goes to the person to whom
it belongs, Integrity of the date by making sure the data does not alter during
the transformation, and Availability of that data by making sure that the data
is available when it is needed. The CIA protect against any upcoming and anticipate
threats to the security or integrity, protect against disclosure, and many
There is a huge challenge
to the country about the Health care system that spends too much on
administrative processes. Tremendous amount of money almost over $1.3 trillion
is spent per year in health care which is higher than 1/8th of US
economy and close to 14% of GDP where on the other hand other industrialized
nations spend almost 7% of GDP. From 15% – 30% goes to administration due to
lack of e-commerce and electronic exchange of information that can be both
personal and governmental, poorer quality of care, and more fragmented system.
Its objective is to reduce the amount of risk that might occur intentionally or
accidentally disclosing the information or misuse of the information, or the
loss or corruption of patient-identifiable information due to outdated system by
protecting and enhancing the rights of consumers giving them proper access to
their health information as well as controlling the appropriate use of that
information from the intruder. The Act improves to the efficiency and
effectiveness of healthcare information either in electronic format or paper
format by creating a national framework for health care privacy protection act
that builds on efforts by states, health systems, individual organizations and
the individual.
Transaction Format
Provider must protect all
individually identifiable health information, regardless of the method in which
the data is maintained or transmitted (paper, electronic, oral) and comply with
national standards when conducting the named transactions electronically with a
covered health plan. Any transaction both in electronic format as well as paper
format standardized under HIPAA conducted by a provider must be done in the
HIPAA format. Some health plans may require, under contractual agreements,
providers conduct any transactions with them electronically must follow the
HIPAA format. However, this is not a
HIPAA requirement, rather, it is a business decision. Contact your payers, clearinghouse, or
billing service to discuss their HIPAA plans.

My sense of style has changed drastically over the past few years. I'm now at a point where I feel confident in my appearance and style choices. It's a long road for a lot of people, finding who you are and what your vibe is. I think I'm finally there now.
My style is very much my own, and I don't heavily base my choices on anyone in particular. There are three people, though, who I do look up to and adore their taste in fashion. I don't go out of my way to copy them, but sometimes there's a killer look you just have to nail.
Simone Butler
I've had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Simone Butler, the bassist for music legends Primal Scream. For me, Simone's style is 'the three L's'. Leopard print, leather and lethal heels.
The 'Naked Lunch' Soho radio presenter is approaching her 40s and is proving you don't have to stop wearing leather mini-skirts at 25. She pushes the boundaries and snaps the stereotypes. Fashion has no age limit, and that's something people really need to realise. I've never seen anyone cooler than Simone on stage in a pair of platform boots the height of the Empire State building playing bass like it's absolutely nothing, when I look like Bambi on ice in heels that high.
These photos I snapped at the Primal Scream gig at Keele in 2016 epitomise her iconic look. If I look half as good as Simone in 20 years' time, I'll be happy.
Alexa Chung
There was no way I wasn't going to feature Alexa. There's a reason she won the British Style Icon award three years running.
She is the absolute queen of diversity. She can go uber-girly with prim and proper peter pan collars and classic British heritage looks, or the polar opposite with risqué rocker get-ups.
If you're inspired by Alexa's style, it means you've ultimately been inspired by the likes of The Spice Girls, Wednesday Addams and Kate Moss. Alexa's book 'IT' features insight into her own style icons and why. It's a great read if you're in love with her look. There's also so fab exclusive snaps and some pretty questionable drawings by Chung.
Being a fashion Queen, there's no wonder she's bagged her own clothing lines. My personal fave was her M&S range. I bagged a stunning silver metallic blouse from the collection in a vintage shop for £8.
David Bowie
I mean, obviously right? David Bowie has had that many personas and looks he's influenced pretty much everyone and everything in one way or another, whether it's music, fashion, even makeup.
Glam rock is such an iconic, bold look that blurs the lines or masculinity and femininity. It's a look that Bowie pioneered perfectly.
His androgynous look broke gender stereotypes, giving people the confidence to express their individuality and sexuality through the medium of fashion.
Whether you're rocking a pastel suit co-ord or a crazy printed jumpsuit, Bowie's extravagant style can be seen in so many statement pieces.
Who are your style icons and why?

~~I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.~~ JB Priestly
Isn't it lovely to wake up and realize you have one more day to spend loving life?! Enjoying family. Laughing. Forgiving. Healing.
To me, life is a journey filled with the unexpected. And I have found that if you focus on the positive and keep your eye on the good, the unexpected doesn't have to destroy who you are. Its how I quit smoking. Its how I lived through my uglies. It keeps me looking forward. And it makes me so glad to be alive!
I believe that there is magic out there in the world. There are miracles waiting for people to notice them. There are good souls shining their light so that we don't have to suffer through darkness forever. Its up to us, though, to look for that magic and believe in those miracles and reach for the shining souls.
You don't have to. One of the glories in life lies in choosing what you believe and how you want to live. I like that feeling of excitement I get when I think about what lies ahead. Its something good...I know it! I like also to share that excitement and pass on the delight I feel when looking at my lovely world. I hope that someone somewhere catches a glimpse of that magic simply by understanding me.
It has been an amazingly beautiful day so far. While everything hasn't gone my way, I get to go home to a fun 12 year old boy and be surrounded by family and neighbors who keep me smiling. May you enjoy your world as well :) Sheri

The harvest strategy in the South-East aims to maintain tiger flathead stocks at a pre-determined % of the pre-fishing, or virgin, biomass. This is called the target reference point. The flathead stock has been above this target for many years so fishermen have enjoyed quotas (total allowable catches or TACs) designed to slightly reduce flathead stocks down to that reference point.

You know, I've been thinking. What do you do when you get matched with one of the billion Chaos Dwarf teams in REBBL? Dodge away? Stay on the ground? NO! Not this time! GET MAD! I don't want to deal with your crap today! It's time we take this league back. Make Chorf coaches RUE THE DAY they decided to play one of the most hated teams in Blood Bowl! It's time to stick a boot in all the Blockers who thought they could pile on to OUR players!
I am giving out prizes for the heads of all Chaos Dwarf Blockers and Bulls in all of Rebbl this season. It is time to take back our pitches from these menaces to our society! How you ask? With cold hard cash! You like money right? I know I do. So I'm putting a bounty on the head of every Chaos Dwarf Blocker and Bull Centaur in the league. Why? Because I can that's why!
How much you ask?
Here's the breakdown:
Any Lvl 2+ Chaos Dwarf Blocker or Bull Centaur that are killed or Strength busted: $5
Any Lvl 3+ Chaos Dwarf Blocker with claw that are killed or Strength busted: $10
Any Lvl 5+ Chaos Dwarf Blocker or Bull Centaur that are killed or Strength busted: $15
I don't care how it's done. You block 'em dead? You get paid. You put the boot in 'em? You get paid! You force 'em to make a dodge or gfi and they fall over and break their neck? You get paid! You pay a wizard to bolt the living (literally) snot out of 'em? You get paid! You bring in a rowdy enough crowd that throws a rock onto their beady little heads? YOU GET PAID! Who cares about beating them on the pitch? Use your team to beat them into the grave! All season long, we want them to look with their heads over their shoulders (until their heads come off their shoulders that is!)
But wait, there's more! You're a Chorf coach and you just killed a couple other Chorfs did you? YOU DON'T GET PAID! That's right, if you want to participate in the Chorf Culling you can't be a Chorf coach. We want less, and less is more (more fun for the rest of us that is.) However, if you really want to help out, I will pay you $25 for any of your own Bull Centaurs or Chaos Dwarf Blockers level 3 or higher you kill or strength bust with your own wizard. How about them lemons?
How to collect:
So you killed a blocker. Nice, we love you for it. Want some cash? Just message me on Discord @[FOUL]sbdwiggi/dwiggs. Send me a screenshot of your match report or the rebbl.net match report link. I will be happy to pay you in any of the following methods: Venmo, Squarecash, Steam Gift Cards, Paypal, or Donation to Rebbl.
Note: Any paypal transaction fees will count towards the total of the transaction, except for donations to Rebbl. Donations to Rebbl will occur in one lump sum at the end of the season to minimize fees.

Move the clock back to November, 2013. It's a year after Obama has won a second term in the White House and it looks like the Democrats will control Federal power forever. There is talk of a permanent Democratic majority cemented into place by a liberal Supreme Court that will last for decades. Glenn Reynolds noted that in the absence of any conceivable reversal, all the rubes could do -- they had not yet been dubbed the Deplorables by Hillary Clinton -- was exhibit a truculence or spirit of passive resistance he described as "Irish Democracy".
Perhaps the most dramatic formulation of "Irish Democracy" is from the movie Michael Collins in which the character playing Eamon de Valera writes after the failed Easter Rising: "We must act as if the Republic is a fact. We defeat the British Empire by ignoring it". Irish Democracy is slow but it works.
Fast forward to November, 2016 and Obama has been ignored. An insurgency is in full cry and the Democratic Party feels like the authorities in 1954 Algiers who realize that years of the mission civilisatrice have not turned the Arabs into Frenchmen. The 2016 elections were shocking because they showed how fake decades of "gains" proved to be.
The liberal mission civilisatrice has apparently failed. The candidate who could not win, won. The candidate who could not lose, lost. All the shibboleths that could not possibly be rejected were pulled down into the mud. Now it was the liberals who had to resort to Irish Democracy. The cast of the Broadway musical Hamilton lectured vice president elect Mike Pence. "We are the diverse Americans who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents." Why? Because they could and because they had no choice.
One might add the cast of Hamilton was not just "alarmed and anxious" but thoroughly bewildered. How the uprising could happen without any warning has sent shock waves through the Left. There may be more to come. Nigel Farage warned that elections in Austria and Italy may confirm the trend.
If Liberals don't understand what happened they will be at a loss to fight it. Saying no no no no no no! is not enough. Unless they know the disease they can't seek the cure. Lecturing people from the stage may make them feel good, but it is what got them into trouble in the first place. The instinct to repeat the same failed tactics more frequently and insistently is unlikely to lead to a different result.
Perhaps the liberal project does not want to know what the matter is because they fear what they will find, although many already probably suspect what it is. The Leftist impulse is founded on the conviction they have a special position in the "arc of justice", a privileged vantage in the moral universe, a place in the vanguard of history. To suddenly admit they don't, to admit that they are no better than anyone else and possibly a good deal worse is not an easily correctable fault.
The compulsion to assert a special moral place underlies the bizarre moral posturing of Hamilton and the theatrical passage of the torch of the West from Obama to Angela Merkel during his European farewell tour. If you're not special maybe you're a Deplorable too. Perish the thought. So, like superheroes in some Marxist play whose pasteboard wings have fallen off they cannot improvise without changing the script. But they have to change the script; to throw away the cardboard props and laugh if they are move on. The liberal impulses will fare better without their dated historical baggage.
One of the literary precursors of the the left was The crisis of liberalism is bigger than Trump. It represents the exhaustion of an intellectual impulse than ran out of gas in the 20th -- the previous -- century. Maybe the Left should recast itself as a purely religious or ethical project since Achilles heel of liberalism is a Marxist tainted economic model that nobody even pretends works. They've been focused on pure redistribution for years. Someone should decide to be the new Marx. The old one is getting long in the tooth.
Their greatest strengths are fostering a sense of belonging, a life-purpose and a kind of ethics, which have been compromised by its attempts to hitch graft this belief system to a centralized state. The only thing that still works on the Left is its impersonation of Judaeo-Christianity, and even that is weakened by its crazy insistence on atheism, which should be optional, since religion is the only thing the Left has to sell. The reason the Left has been losing ground to Islam is it doesn't work as an economic system yet it hasn't paid enough attention to being a religion.
In the end the human impulse may boil down to two major tracks. The first can be called the "God really exists" path. In that model there is a real God and real Truth which humanity can find. The other track is the one Western liberalism has historically taken: "let's pretend God exists" which sees the universe as an objectively meaningless void in which it is the duty of man to create an artificial moral habitat in an otherwise immoral vacuum to amuse ourselves while we forget everything ends in the Big Crunch.
Nobody knows which of these world views is true. But conservatives may have an affinity for the first track while liberals emotionally attach to the second. It's the eternal issues which divide. The rest is transient and this dichotomy will probably define politics for the rest of the 21st century. The historical task of liberalism is to take up the cudgels for the proposition that all men are created to join a collective. The other side is already taken.
Dostoevsky's Grand Inquisitor who saw his task as relieving man of the burden of meaningless freedom -- since all choices are ultimately futile -- and enclosing him in a bubble of perfect assurance. Only the Inquisitors knew the assurance was fake and nobly took the secret despair upon themselves to spare the masses the agony of doubt.
In socialism's 1930s heyday cadres were exhorted to bear on their shoulders the task of murder, genocide, deceit etc -- so that the masses might be happy in their simple hopes for a Worker's Paradise. The ones in the know knew it would never come. The Grand Inquisitor wore Chekist uniform but was otherwise the same. In 2016 the Inquisitors no longer shoot people but they still kept the secret. The reason the liberal project will never perform an autopsy on itself is because that would reveal there's no there there. It's the pretend that counts. The big secret the Left doesn't never wants to face is there's no "arc of history" they control.
Still there are always enough people who would rather be ruled by Grand Inquisitors than bear the burden of freedom to keep a leftist project alive indefinitely. Life in a community is simple. And perhaps they are on the correct side after all. There may be nothing beyond the Big Crunch and the Big Pretend. So let's pretend.
But some will always aim to misbehave, and aim for more, like the Deplorables who want to be free either because really they are free or aren't educated enough to know they're not. And to be truly free requires betting that their choices count, actually count. Some people insist of think themselves as being in a real universe with a real God and a real Devil. It's not for everyone. But it is for some. The tables are always open in Pascal's casino.
Pass on the Torch of the West to Angela Mr. President. The janitor will be along to pick up the cardboard wings after the show.

Monday News Update: Bob Dylan and Zip Car Come to Town, Some Necessary Grizz Reading and More
Welcome to the working week, y'all.
Today in Memphis, we've got a ton of Grizz-themed goodness, Bob Dylan and ZipCar are coming to town, and there are cheap haircuts in Court Square today. All of that (and tons more) is in today's Memphis news update.
But first, check out @glassesmalone's picture from the Redbirds game yesterday:
I'd love to feature your Memphis Instagram photos here, but I can't unless you tag them #ilovememphis. Do that, and you may see them on a future post.
– The Grizz may have lost to the Clippers on Saturday night, but that's not going to happen tonight, right guys? Right? The game starts at 9:30 p.m. central (because it's in L.A.). To get you in the mood, consider this article about why you should adopt the Grizz as your playoff team of choice, read Chris Herrington's take on what went wrong (and right) at the last game, or listen to the hilarious audio from MSL's annual "Have Grizz announcer Rick Trotter say anything" show. Lastly, @bryan_rollins made a super cool graphic of the Grizz Playoff Prayer.
– Bob Dylan is bringing his Americana Tour – which also features Wilco and My Morning Jacket – back to Memphis. It'll be at AutoZone Park on July 2.
– Oh happy day: "Hustle & Flow" is available for instant streaing on Netflix.
– Need a haircut? Rachel's Salon is giving them out in Court Square from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. today. The only catch is that you have to donate at least $10 to the Gulf Restoration Network in honor of Earth Day.
– Remember that time we contemplated if ZipCar could work in Memphis? Good news – it can. The car sharing service is launching in Memphis on Thursday, April 25 with four cars. Rentals are $7.50 per hour or $69 per day, and two cars will be at S. Main and Gayoso, and two will be at S. Main and Huling.
– If you're headed to Memphis in May, go ahead and read up on this year's security precautions.
– Alas, daytime TV viewers, Judge Joe Brown has lost his CBS syndication. He might run for senate, though, so there's that.
– Does your business need a bike corral? The city engineering division and Saris Cycling Group are giving one away.
Know of something great in Memphis? If you've got a tip for ILM, send me an email. If you'd like to submit a story, photo gallery, video or something else for the blog, do that here. If you've got an event coming up, please add it to the calendar, and if you're not already, follow ILM on Facebook and/or Twitter and/or Instagram and/or Pinterest.

SafeandVaultStore 4524BL TL-30 Two Hour Fire Safe
- Dimensions:
- Outside: 49.00" H X 29.00" W X 29.00" D
- Inside: 45.00" H X 24.00" W X 20.00" D
- Interior Cubic Feet: 12.5
- Weight: 2300.00
- Burglar Rating: TL-30 Learn More
- Fire Rating: 2 Hours
SafeandVaultStore 4524BL TL-30 International Fortress Composite Safe
The SafeandVaultStore TL-30 2 hour fire safe 4524BL is another safe in the family of eight high security safes that set the standard for the industry. Along with the dual combination locks, its two hour fire rating, and Underwriters Laboratory TL-30 burglary label surpass most other safes in its class. This U.L. rated TL-30 burglary rated with two hour fire rating comes standard with three (3) shelves. Additional shelves are available at a slight upcharge.
If you are looking at this TL-30 safe, we know that theft protection is important in your thought process. Lets review some features:
This 12.5 cubic foot burglary and fire rated safe incorporates six-sided composite construction. What is composite construction? This new and revolutionary new barrier material incorporates a steel and ceramic matrix on all six sides of the safe. The ceramic matrix is anchored by a "Z" bar connection system that fuses the inner and outer layers of steel and composite material into one. By using this unique construction, the safe achieves a high degree of burglary protection while being relatively light in weight.
This U.L. rated TL-30 burglary rated safe also has a two hour 1850 degree fire rating as well. To further explain, this unit is subjected to a 1850 degree fire for a period of two hours. The interior temperature did not exceed 350 degrees, well below the combustion point of paper.
To further enhance the theft resistance of this 12.5 cubic foot burglary and fire rated safe, we have included massive 1 1/2" chrome bolts secured with a U.L. Group 2M combination lock. For a slight upcharge we can add an electronic lock to your safe. The safe also incorporates "dead" bolts on the hinge side to deter prying of the door. We have also added a relocking system so that when the lock is drilled or forced, the bolts automatically freeze in the locked position. The boltwork on this high quality safe is further protected by a bolt detent system that automatically extends the bolts when the door is closed.
As you can see, the SafeandVaultStore TL-30 2 hour fire safe 4524BL is ideal for businesses protecting proprietary documents, a jeweler protecting expensive gems and watches, or a home owner looking for the best "peace of mind".

Kathryn Callaghan adds to lifestyle product range
Award winning artist Kathryn Callaghan launches her exclusive Homewares and Accessories Collection at a special event in Crossgar's JN Wine on November 9.
Kathryn, whose work has achieved worldwide acclaim, will officially launch her range of cushions, coasters, placemats, tea towels and greeting cards at the two-hour event, that will also see her original paintings and fine art prints on display.
Her work will also be available to view on Saturday November 10.
Kathryn's work is sold across the UK, US and Europe and her latest venture sees her bring some of her wildlife designs – of birds – in dynamic flight to life.
"I have been privileged to have my work displayed in many, many places and had commissioned work for the likes of Druid's Glen and Bushmills Inn," she said. "This collection is something I am passionate about, bringing imagery and art on platforms that can transform homes."
Displaying her work and launching it at JN Wine also represents a 'coming home' for Kathryn as she has designed and worked with the company in recent years to create their Firework Flower label for their own brand sparkling wine.
James Nicholson of JN Wine said: "We are thrilled to support Kathryn with the launch of her new collection. She is an outstanding local talent and her new range shows off her unique artwork beautifully."
Kathryn works from her own studio in Lisbane, producing a range of work under the name Kathryn Callaghan Fine Art (KC Fine Art).
Established in 2013, Kathryn's innovative works includes original pieces, limited edition giclee prints, open edition giclee prints, and specially commissioned artwork.
Kathryn's work is sold directly to private collectors and customers via her website and the Lisbane-based KCFA art studio, as well as through a select range of art galleries across the UK, such as The Yard Gallery in Holywood, Cloud Gallery in Worthing, Horsham, Chichester, Brighton and Guilford, and Gallery Rouge in St Albans, Harpenden and Norwich.
In addition to the pieces available for sale through the online store and studio, KC Fine Art undertakes bespoke commercial projects in collaboration with hotels, architects, interiors designers and graphic designers. Previous clients include: Druid's Glen Resort, Hunter's Yard, Bushmills Inn, Atelier Design, Parson's Nose, and JN Wine. Kathryn's work has also been used on set for 'Liar, Liar' and 'Dr Foster', and the recent Pierce Brosnan and Jackie Chan movie 'The Foreigner'.
Since 2014, KC Fine Art has invited licensees to collaborate with the brand to create beautiful products for the modern home and lifestyle, this new homeware and accessories range featuring artwork by Kathryn is just one step on that journey.
In September Kathryn was also commissioned to create the bottle label artwork by Mourne Dew Distillery for their latest product Kilbroney Gin.

God kills
Weird thought:
Did you ever notice some of the things that God thought was worthy of the death penalty? Unjustifiable homicide, adultery, homosexuality, rape, falsely accusing of a capital crime, disrespecting ones parents, etc. There are probably more, but these are all that spring to mind at the moment. You know whats weird about those? They are all relational. And all pertain specifically to relationships that God chose as his examples to those He created in his own image. God compares his relations to man to a parent child relationship and a husband/wife relationship. Those are interesting choices, first of all, because the former must never include sex. The latter is defined by its inclusive sex.
The human behavior that God deems worthy of death is the behavior that through its acts tells a lie about God. The punishment of death is not so much for the harm you have done man, but the slander of God's character. Very odd, no
Tomorrow, we set the way back machine to 700 BC and explore cultural parallels between pork then and drugs now. You have been warned.
1 Comment »
You amuse me greatly and I look forward to our trip back in time tomorrow. I do think it's interesting how God seems to be most upset by slander to his character. God is an interesting and very big god. I am going to go talk to you now while you polish your boots.

Over Ninety Percent of Austrians Voted for Adolph Hitler's Takeover
"Totalitarianism didn't come quickly, it took 5 years from 1938 until 1943, to realize full dictatorship in Austria. Had it happened overnight, my countrymen would have fought to the last breath. Instead, we had creeping gradualism. Now, our only weapons were broom handles. The whole idea sounds almost unbelievable that the state, little by little eroded our freedom."
This is my eye-witness account

The scientific name for this stately tree is quite a mouthful. It is also known as Rose Butternut or Bollygum. This tree is probably not going to be easy to differentiate from a Queensland Maple (Flindersia spp.) at a glance. Both Flindersia and Blepharocarya have opposite compound leaves. The leaves of Bollygum are not quite as fleshy but more distinctively, the Bollygum has 'ribs' at the base of compound leaf stalk (see picture below) which nearly connects with those of the adjacent leaf.
The flowers are very mango-like, as is typical of the family, but the fruits are quite a thing on their own. Distinctively, there is a fibrous-looking basket-like involucre which surrounds the fruit.

Misc: Collaborative writing
One of the challenges of writing our Philosophy of Information textbook was finding the right platform for working together with 10+ authors on a single writing- project. Unlike the authors of the HoTT- book, we didn't opt for the most advanced option, namely git and GitHub, but for a mix of Word, SkyDrive, Google-Docs (now Google-drive), and Dropbox.
Collaborative writing has received a lot of attention lately, and a number of new platforms, unsurprisingly with git often working in the background, have appeared. A few of them are listed below:

Go ahead and take a look at it! Some of these platforms might play a role in the future activities of the SPI.

If you live to be 100 your family and friends will help you celebrate with a Birthday quilt.
If you live to be 100 they will surprise you on your special day.
If you live to be hundred you will surprise everyone! And play Happy Birthday on your Saxophone!
Dolly is a long time member of our local quilt guild. Family members and guild members surprised her recently at our last meeting with a special birthday celebration by presenting her with a friendship block quilt bearing many good wishes and two wonderful birthday cakes. Dolly has had an astounding and interesting life. She traveled the world with her father who was magician. She performed in the magic show along with her family and also provided the music. These days Dolly no longer quilts. Instead she knits hundreds of preemie hats which are donated to the local hospitals. The day of the surprise birthday party she arrived with 75 preemie hats she had knitted! Always smiling she is an inspiration to us all---

- Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are huge "Game of Thrones" fans and they want everyone to know it.
- The funny duo released a music video to celebrate the premiere of Season 7.
- Bell dressed up like Cersei and Daenerys while Shepard became Jon Snow and Jamie.
- Needless to say, the goofy costumes and deadpan expressions will leave you dying with laughter.
With the "Game of Thrones" premiere already here, everyone's getting in on its mania, from Hulu, who will now allow subscribers to purchase an HBO add-in to stream the show for an extra $15 a month, to KAYAK, which has embedded a special "GoT" Easter egg in its search tool. Now, a "GoT" music video has joined the hype, featuring two very familiar faces: Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard.
The comedic couple and superfans, who are no stranger to the art of musical cinematography (you may recall their adorbs rendition of Toto's "Africa" while on vacay), went all out for their new spot, taking on the roles of everyone from Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow to Brienne of Tarth and The Hound, all the while showing off some *serious* musicianship (that harp, though, K-Bell!).
If their goofy costumes aren't enough to make you crack a smile, their deadpan expressions most certainly will: Shepard even breaks character to blow us all a smooch!
Dax and I went to the premiere of #GOT last night. Everyone was in suits and dresses. People were sipping cocktails. We were in tank tops that said "Stark in the streets, Wildling in the sheets". We sported temporary tattoos that said Ours Is The Fury and Winter Is Coming. At one point I lifted a cantaloupe in the air and said 'this egg shall change history' and ran out the fire exit.
It's not the first time these two have shown their love for the HBO hit: As "Hello Giggles" reminded us, there were also those charming matching "Stark in the streets, Wildling in the sheets" tanks they donned to last year's premiere, or that time they participated in a cosplay party. Impressive, guys!
We'll definitely be tuning in right along with you come Sunday.

I was looking through one of my favorite magazines when I saw the article on these best dressed women. I absolutely love #1, she is rocking different patterns and she pulls it off. It takes confidence to against the norm and try something out of the box. Check out all 10 Best Dressed women in this issue of Vogue. To save you time and energy 🙂 I added the article below. Enjoy

- View Full Item
- Created Date
- ca. 1983
- Description
This Italianate structure was built ca. 1873 by Louis Schultz, a local brewer. Only the east part was built originally, but the west section was built by 1898. William Daniels began a harness shop and moved to this building in 1922. The building has also been used as a saloon, dwelling, and a jewelry store. At the time of the survey, the Chamber of Commerce was located at 127 Main Street and Dave's Barber & Styling at 131 Main Street.
The Reedsburg Historic Survey was conducted from October 1983 through April 1984 by the City of Reedsburg and community volunteers. The project was funded, in part, by a National Park Service and U. S. Department of the Interior grant, administered by the Historic Preservation Division of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. The surveys and accompanying photographs, housed at the Reedsburg Public Library, were compiled to determine National Register of Historic Places eligibility.

THE Khmer Rouge Tribunal's international Co-Investigating Judge Siegfried Blunk has submitted his resignation to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon.
His resignation is in reaction to repeated statements of government officials that the tribunal's cases 003 and 004 will not go ahead.
"The Co-Investigating Judge will not let himself by influenced by such statements, (but) his ability to withstand such pressure by government officials and to perform his duties independently could always be called into doubt," a press release from the court said today.
The press release pointed to high-profile statements by Prime Minister Hun Sen, the Information Minister and the Foreign Affairs Minister as evidence of continued pressure from the government to close cases 003 and 004.
New York-based Human Rights Watch last week called for Blunk and Cambodian Co-Investigating Judge You Bunleng to resign over alleged judicial misconduct in their investigations into cases 003 and 004.
At the time, court spokesman Lars Olsen said on behalf of the Co-Investigating Judges that they would continue to perform their duties "independently".

2018 Lexus GS
The Lexus GS is a rear-wheel-drive sports sedan, not to be confused with the Lexus ES front-wheel-drive near-luxury family sedan. It competes with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, and Infiniti Q70. It was last redesigned in 2013. Changes for 2018 are minimal.
However the newest model, the 2.0-liter turbo introduced for 2017, gets its name changed from GS 200t to GS 300. And the GS 350, with a V6, gets five more horsepower. Also the Enform safety connect and service connect features come free for ten years.
The 2018 Lexus GS 300 2.0 turbo makes 241 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, and is mated to a paddle-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission. It can accelerate from zero to 60 in 7.2 seconds, which isn't so quick for a sports sedan, but the paddle-shifters help the kickdown response. It gets good fuel mileage, which is the reason it was introduced into the lineup: an EPA-estimated 29/34 mpg City/Highway, 31 mpg Combined. But GS 300 requires Premium fuel, so there goes the savings. So do all the other GS models, including the hybrid.
The 2018 Lexus GS 350 feels more like a sports sedan, with its 3.5-liter V6 having direct injection, variable valve timing, and making 311 horsepower; it too uses the paddle-shifting eight-speed automatic. All-wheel drive is available with the GS 350, but that uses an older six-speed automatic. The GS 350 shortens the zero-to-sixty time to 5.7 seconds, but sucks the fuel consumption down to 23 Combined miles per gallon.
The GS 450h hybrid with rear-wheel drive is two-tenths quicker to 60 mph than the GS 350, while getting the same 29/34/31 mpg as the GS 300. Its speed comes from an Atkinson-cycle version of the V6, mated to a 147-kilowatt motor and 30-kilowatt nickel-metal-hydride battery pack, for a total of 338 horsepower, with and 257-pound feet of torque. The downside is it doesn't have sporty handling, and any other sportiness it might have is stolen by its continuously variable transmission.
The GS F Sport brings the sporty. The F Sport package is available with every model, and features a sports suspension along with sportier exterior and interior trim, and upgraded features. A GS F Sport might compete with the Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD.
If the F Sport isn't enough, there is the GS F that competes with the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, Cadillac CTS-V, and Audi RS 7. It uses a 5.0-liter V8 making a 467-horsepower and 389 pound-feet of torque, to accelerate from zero to sixty in a fairly blistering 4.5 seconds. With both direct injection and port injection, and using both the Otto and Atkinson cycles, it gets 19 miles per gallon Combined. That might not sound like much, but for 467 horsepower it's impressive.
Model Lineup
The 2018 GS 300 comes with the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, 8-speed automatic, and rear-wheel drive. includes 10-way power seats, leather in soft hues, 10 airbags, rearview camera, satellite radio, iPod, Bluetooth with audio streaming, and Remote Touch, the mouse-like controller. Options include active cruise control with emergency braking, a head-up display, and night vision.
GS 350 comes with a V6 engine and is available with rear-wheel drive and the eight-speed transmission, or all-wheel drive and the six-speed.
The GS 450h features the hybrid gas-electric powertrain, CVT, and rear-wheel drive.
GS F features the high-performance 5.0-liter V8 engine, eight-speed automatic with Sport Direct-Shift, and rear-wheel drive.
The large spindle grille announces Lexus. It's drawn like an hourglass with boomerang shapes on each side. The L-shaped headlamps bristle with LED lighting including turn signals and daytime running lights, while the taillamps are LED as well.
Naturally the F Sport model is more aggressive, with a bolder spindle at the grille, air intakes for the transmission and oil coolers, and aerodynamic tweaks. The wide front fenders have vents that draw hot air out from under the hood. Big rocker panels lower the sides, while a carbon-fiber spoiler and quadruple exhaust outlets coming from a diffuser make the car look mean from the rear.
Compared to most other Lexuses, the cabin of the GS, especially the instrument panel, seems Spartan. But the fit and finish is excellent, with one exception: the haptic joystick on the console fits with a gap at its side. Overall the cabin is elegant, warm and inviting, thanks a lot to soft ambient lighting around the edges. And the materials are a cut above those in the German luxury sedans, with padded leather panels and wood trim in rich shades. The leather seams are carefully stitched, but it might be overkill, there are so many.
The instrument panel features big gauges that are crisp and clear, along with a huge 12.3-inch high-resolution display. The plastics are of a high quality, with metallic trim around the analog clock that has become almost a Lexus affectation, stubbornly present despite being hard to read. The glovebox is deep, the center console has a sliding cover, and the door pockets are useful, so small storage is adequate.
The 10-way power seats are comfortable and supportive, while the available 18-way power seats have heating and ventilation. The F Sport seats have more bolstering for hard cornering. The GS F seats are exceptionally comfortable and supportive, in perforated leather to match the steering wheel, with other Alcantara leather bits elsewhere. Also aluminum pedals and carbon fiber trim.
The rear has good head room, but only enough knee room for small children, so it's not much consolation that the rear doors are wide. That makes it easier to climb into a place where you won't want to be, but at least it's also easier to make a quick getaway which you'll want to do. Heated seats and climate control in the rear are available, to be enjoyed by pampered small children.
The trunk is shallow but the opening is wide and there's a pass-through for long objects like skis.
Driving Impressions
The Lexus GS models have different driving dynamics.
The GS 300 is afflicted with turbo lag, a frustrating pause when you floor it. Even the Sport Plus mode can't fix it. The eight-speed transmission can be fussy going uphill, too quick to upshift and downshift; sometimes you have to switch to Manual mode and shift yourself with the paddles, just to get it to stop shifting too much in the Normal mode.
In the GS 350, the 311-horsepower V6 solves the acceleration issue, especially above 3000 rpm. Sport mode is clearly sporty, in the manner it works the eight-speed transmission. The all-wheel-drive GS 350 with its older six-speed transmission is a bit less quick.
The GS 450h hybrid is fast, comfortable and quiet, with a semi-active suspension. It offers less driving feel than the other GS models, but then hybrids aren't known for their feeling of connectedness to the road. An F Sport package helps, but it can't bring much soul to the CVT transmission; although Lexus has helped some, by programming eight steps into the transmission so it feels more like an automatic.
Driving modes of Eco, Sport, Sport+, and EV each further re-program the CVT and the light-touch electric power steering. The brakes have regenerative rigidity with not much braking sensation.
All GS models have electric power steering that's nimble and communicative, and a lightweight multi-link suspension front and rear that provides a tight ride but low tolerance for bumps. With its stiff chassis, the GS handles well on standard 17-inch, 50-series tires, while the ride is more composed than most of its rivals. An adaptive suspension and active steering are available, and they do set a new benchmark on the F Sports, but we don't think the GS needs it. The GS actually feels capable on the track.
Active rear steering is available; it turns the rear wheels a tiny bit, in the opposite direction of the fronts, to pivot the car, adding stability in quick moves.
The 5.0-liter V8 in the GS F revs to 7300 rpm with a sweet howl, piped into the cabin and heard like background music through two speakers, one front, one rear. It's normally aspirated, so it's not as fast as the supercharged Cadillac CTS-V or turbocharged BMW M5 and Mercedes E63 AMG. But at 4034 pounds, the GS F weighs 111 pounds less than the Cadillac, and 356 pounds less than the fat German M5.
You can feel that relative lightness in the handling. Its dynamic personality is small, thanks also to torque-vectoring that makes the car respond better in turns. In Normal mode, the steering is light and delightfully quick. If you push it past the grip of the sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, the stability control will save you. If you switch to Sport S or Sport S+ mode, and put the differential in Slalom or Track mode, the F is happy to grip and rotate for you.
And it stops quickly like a lighter car, with big Brembo brakes using 15-inch front rotors and 13.5-inch rears. The eight-speed automatic transmission is crisp, smooth and responsive, although not as sharp as a good dual-clutch like the BMW.
The suspension is double-wishbone front and multi-link rear. Two front arms and two rear links are aluminum, reducing unsprung weight. The chassis is stiffened with four underbody braces, while the shocks, springs and bushings are firmer, and the steering geometry both front and rear is changed. The ride is reasonable, so it's a fairly comfortable cruiser.
Final Word
The GS 300 suffers from lazy acceleration and turbo lag, but gets good mileage. The GS 350 has the speed but gets much less mileage. The GS 450h hybrid has both speed and mileage but suffers from soft handling and a CVT transmission. The GS F is a worthy super-sport sedan, but very expensive. All of the GS sedans have a rear seat that's too small, and require Premium fuel.

Craig Showalter, Wyoming Community Foundation
Title: President & CEO
On the job since: 2011
Geographic scope: State of Wyoming
2015 rural funding: $6.1M
Staffing: 17 FTE
How has your career prepared you for your current role?
With over 30 years of experience working in the nonprofit sector, my diverse experience working on behalf of communities and individuals has prepared me well for my role of CEO for WYCF. Any nonprofit leader that has worked for even a short period of time in this sector quickly learns to be a jack of many trades. Limited resources provide experience in all areas of nonprofit leadership. Nonprofit executives are often the HR, finance, operations, public relations and chief fundraisers for their organizations. It's something new and different every day; that's what makes a career in the nonprofit sector so meaningful and personally rewarding!
What are the most important issues for rural grantees in your community?
Without question, boom/bust and economic down cycles makes it difficult for nonprofits to achieve sustainability, much less the ability to grow and thrive. Since the '80s, tax dollars available to support local community nonprofits has consistently dwindled as the appetite for supporting local programs through taxation has become the bane of both political parties. The nonprofit sector has worked diligently to fund the gap, while competition for charitable funds has also increased exponentially. There's also the misperception by many that nonprofits should find other ways to support operations and funds raised should be used only to support programs.
What are your core strategies for addressing these issues?
WYCF has greatly increased staff and resources on the fund development side of our business model. We encourage organizations we fund to be good business people and also encourage them to focus on endowment building to grow their organizations to sustainability. Additionally, we provide Wyoming nonprofits with resources in the areas of governance, strategic planning, recruitment and retention of professional staff. We also host a biennial Wyoming Nonprofit Conference, which provides attendees with resources and the best national presenters on current best practice techniques and models for the sector.
How are demographics changing in your region, and how is your funding strategy addressing these changes?
Wyoming is a very homogenous state and like many other areas of the country, our population is aging. With a state population somewhere north of 500,000 people, I always say our biggest challenge is geography. Though WYCF frequently partners with national organizations on key social issues, our funding strategy is one of funding many small grants and leveraging monies from our donors who have invested in our donor-advised and agency-endowed funds. We utilize our local advisory boards and knowledge of local communities to assure we fund the right organizations that utilize resources to meet local needs. WYCF is one of the few remaining organizations in Wyoming that still funds operations for nonprofits.
What has been a big success for your organization?
In the last five years, we have increased our annual distributions from roughly $3 million annually to $6 million.
What's the biggest rural funding challenge your organization is tackling right now?
Wyoming is a rural state dependent on mineral taxes to sustain services for its citizens. The loss of expected revenue is significantly impacting every Wyoming community. Unemployment is rising significantly which further impacts local economies. The net effect is that there is not one issue but many.
What's one more question we should ask, and how would you answer it?
Q. What is does the "culture of philanthropy look like in your sphere of influence and what are you doing to improve it?
A. Developing slowly by building constituent relationships, one person at a time!
Craig Showalter is president and CEO of Wyoming Community Foundation, joining us this month for our virtual roundtable with rural funders.

Ralph&Russo AW 2016/17
Their show was so marvelous yesterday we've reposted all of the looks from the collection -minus a few that we felt weren't completely necessary. . . The collection in it's entirety is soft and feminine. Filled with sparkle, movement and ease, the silhouettes in conjunction with the custom patterns(textiles) which urge a feeling of sultry stillness. It feels as though the style itself is quite eclectic as the silhouettes range from modern Italian to hints of Greek and less subtle hints of a sort of Spanish homage, reference Look 30. Say what you must but the collection is undoubtedly one of the finest seen this far in Couture week, Especially if you compare it to Channel's show last night. I suppose this just shows that you can have the best backdrop money can buy but if your clothes don't speak of modernity then ain't nobody tryna' hala.
With so many fashion houses seemingly trying to impress the good people of the fashion industry with frivolous and excessive backdrops in exotic locations that can only be reached through that House's private jet . . . (Fendi. . . #really?). We're really pleased to be graced with simplicity and elegance all thanks to Ralph&Russo. The minimalist backdrop was more than enough as the focus was clearly meant to be on the garments and rightfully so and they encompassed the classic beauty that lends to no amounts of speculation. We know that this is couture and Channel's show was resort so before a panic attack occurs let it be remembered that "Fashion should make one look modern or it's not fashion"-Some one Famous and Channel's show was not modern and frankly is was ridiculously unwearable and eclectic but never the less Ralph&Russo impressed us yet again and let's just linger on that positivity.

Samuel Grant Packaging, the North's largest packaging distributor, have been awarded the Queens Award for Innovation for 2018, in honour of the Samson Nano, a huge innovation in the pallet wrapping industry.
Since its launch in 2013, Samuel Grant Packaging's Samson Nano has revolutionised the way in which pallet wrapping is both undertaken and charged for. Known particularly for its fixed price per wrapped pallet with no capex/servicing and maintenance costs, coupled with its inbuilt internet-linked reporting software, the Samson Nano provides the perfect pallet wrapping solution to suit all businesses.
The Samson Nano has positively impacted hundreds of businesses around the UK. The innovative pallet wrapping machine not only reduces maintenance costs, but it also helps to reduce unnecessary waste and CO2 emissions. One of the machine's first clients, Taylor's of Harrogate, showed an immense reduction in their CO2 emissions from using the machine in their first year alone.
Because the Samson Nano represents the best in modern machinery and is coupled with the high-performance Samson Nano stretchfilm, by using Samson Nano system Taylors continued to wrap the same number of pallets but reduced the film requirement from over four tonnes to less than one. This equates to a CO2 emission saving of nearly 10 tonnes.
As well as the 'standard' Samson Nano machine, the team at Samuel Grant Packaging are always looking for ways to improve their machines to offer the best possible service. The team have a highly proactive approach to new ideas and improvements which, coupled with their extensive expertise, allows solutions to be found for their customers' problems. Samuel Grant Packaging have created machines that are suitable for forklifts to drive over it should there be a lack of space, as well as machines that are specifically designed to be used in cold stores.
All of the above are part of the ongoing customer service that Samson Nano clients receive, and all solutions are provided with no capex, servicing or maintenance costs; a fixed price per wrapped pallet, and completely risk-free to the businesses installing the system.
"I always ask my customers – "If I gave you a magic wand to change your current wrapping, what would you do?"" says Julia Allen, Samson Nano Specialist and Managing Director of Samuel Grant Sheffield. "This gives me the most honest feedback of what is wrong with their current wrapping which helps me devise a bespoke solution for them in conjunction with my findings from the site evaluation. Our mission is to listen, advise and deliver optimum solutions."
Due to this innovation and 'can do' approach, in April of this year, it was announced that Samuel Grant Packaging were to receive the highest accolade for British companies – a Queen's Award for Enterprise. Although the Queen's Award for Enterprise is an award available to only British businesses, it is globally recognised as a mark of excellence. The Queen's Award for Enterprise is given to businesses that excel in innovation, sustainable development or international trade, and it is the highest official UK award for British companies. In winning this award, Samuel Grant Packaging joins a very select band of elite UK manufacturers.
To qualify and win, the company had to prove how the packaging industry had been impacted by the Samson Nano. The company also had to show the effect that the machine's development had had on the local economy, and on the bottom line of the business income.
Samuel Grant Packaging have long been known as experts in packaging industry. The 4th generation packaging firm has been at the forefront of manufacturing innovation for over 125 years, and with three different branches across the North of England, Samuel Grant Packaging are the largest packaging distributor in the North.
Although Samuel Grant Packaging have been in the industry for years, they have always made innovation a priority. By putting the customers' needs at the heart of all they do, Samuel Grant Packaging have focused on solving unique solutions and by doing so, have successfully advanced the packaging industry in ways that couldn't have been imagined 125 years ago.
So, what does the future hold?
"We will continue to innovate," says Andrew Grant, great-grandson of the founder and current Managing Director. "We can't stand still. More than ever it is important for companies to push forward and move with the times. Whilst being able to display the Queens Award for Enterprise outside the building is a huge accolade for the business, we like to think it displays our commitment to future innovation as much as our success in the past."
