Complying with the new data protection regulations
Thursday 13th July 2017
Like all organisations which process personal data, charities must comply with data protection legislation. In light of the forthcoming General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), which will replace the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) from 25 May 2018, this is more important than ever.
It is essential to have compliant data processing measures and procedures in place sooner rather than later, especially as there will be severe penalties for failure to comply with GDPR including fines equivalent to 4% of an organisation's annual turnover.
Other sanctions include suspension and bans from processing data, something which would be extremely damaging to charities which rely heavily on the use of personal data to promote their services, products and to assist with fundraising.
Here are some of the main changes and tips for charities to ensure compliance:
Privacy notices
Privacy notices (often used in conjunction with longer privacy policies) should be provided to supporters of the charity at the point their personal data is collected or within a reasonable time where data is obtained from a third party. The GDPR expands upon the requirement for certain information to be made readily available to data subjects upon the collection of their data.
Under the GDPR, details to be provided include details of the data controller, the purpose of the processing, the details of any third parties the data will be shared with and rights of access. In addition to this, the GDPR requires data controllers to provide details such as the legal basis for processing, the period of time the data will be stored, if data will be transferred outside the EEA (European Economic Area), the data subjects rights (as further detailed below) along with the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) amongst others.
Procedures for obtaining consent
As with the DPA, the GDPR will require data controllers to have a legitimate reason for processing personal data. If you rely on the consent of the data subject, under GDPR you must be able to demonstrate it was freely given and communicated by a statement of clear affirmative action such as an "opt in" box rather than an "opt out" box. Silence, inactivity or pre-ticked boxes will no longer constitute consent.
Marketing and profiling
In light of recent ICO (Information Commissioner's Office) investigations into charity use of personal data as reported in the media, charities must be extremely careful when using personal data for marketing purposes including the use of profiling. New privacy regulations which complement the GDPR are due to come into force in 2018. The regulations contain specific legislative restrictions on the use of electronic communications for marketing purposes.
The draft regulations will continue to allow charities to send marketing emails/SMS about their products or services to individuals who have purchased similar products without obtaining express consent to do so (provided the individual is given the opportunity to object to such marketing at the point of collection of their details and each time a marketing email/SMS is sent) (known as the Soft opt-in approach). In all other situations, express consent will be required.
It is important to note that the Soft opt in approach only applies to commercial promotions involving the marketing of similar goods and services purchased by a supporter. It therefore cannot be used to send further marketing to a supporter following a donation unless express consent has been given.
Profiling can be used to evaluate personal aspects of an individual, in particular to analyse or predict their economic situation, health, personal preferences, reliability, behaviour, location or movements for the purpose of marketing. Under GDPR, supporters must be made aware of this including how decisions are made, the significance and consequences of such decisions, along with the right to object to the processing.
Procedures for data subjects' rights
The GDPR expands upon data subjects' rights. In addition to subject access, data subjects will have the right to require inaccuracies to be corrected, information erased, prevent direct marketing and automated decision making, a right to withdraw consent and data portability (the right for data to be provided in a usable/commonly used format such as electronic format and transferred to another data controller upon request). Procedures will need to be put in place to deal with such requests.
Subjects' access requests
There is currently a requirement to respond to such requests within 40 days. Under the GDPR, this will be reduced to one month and additional information must be provided such as data retention periods, the right for data to be deleted, inaccurate data to be corrected and the right to lodge complaints with the ICO.
There will no longer be a right to charge a flat fee for the provision of such information and instead information must be provided free of charge unless manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive. The creation of template response letters that comply with GDPR will assist with dealing with such requests.
Data breach notification
Currently, it is good practice to report personal data breaches to the ICO. Under the GDPR, serious breaches should be reported immediately and within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. An explanation will be required where this timescale cannot be met. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects, the data subjects must also be notified without undue delay.
Data Protection Officers (DPOs)
Appointing or designating an individual as a data protection officer to oversee an organisation's compliance with data protection legislation is considered good practice. Under the GDPR, this will be a requirement for organisations which undertake regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale. The DPOs will be required to fulfil a number of obligations. These include: (i) monitoring compliance, (ii) liaising with the ICO, and (iii) training staff.
Data protection policy
A data protection policy helps to ensure member of staff are aware of their data protection duties. As the GDPR requires organisations to be able to demonstrate their compliance through technical and organisational measures, it is safe to say a data protection policy is essential and should be updated to take account of the changes introduced by GDPR.
Data processing agreements
Any arrangements with third parties to process data on your behalf/upon your instructions must be in writing and contain various guarantees of compliance with the GDPR, including but not limited to: only acting on instructions of the data controller, notification of breaches, restrictions on sub-processing without consent, assistance in dealing with data subjects' rights, requirement for personal data to be kept secure and confidential, and return or destruction of data upon request.
Such agreements may be necessary to document arrangements with third parties that undertake marketing and fundraising on your behalf or where a cloud software provider holds data on your behalf. Such provisions should be included within any new agreements entered into, while existing agreements which will continue beyond 25 May 2018 should be checked and amended as appropriate.
Data sharing agreements
If you share supporter data with third parties for their own use rather than acting upon your instructions (such as other charities and organisations for their own purposes), not only should supporters be made aware of this when data is initially collected but it is also recommended that data sharing agreements are entered into. These should stipulate the purpose for which the data can be used by a third party and should include similar provisions to those included in data processing agreements. Having such agreements in place will help ensure your compliance with the GDPR.
Recording transactions
For those charities who are currently registered with the ICO, there will no longer be a requirement to notify the ICO of data processing activities undertaken. Instead, all charities which process personal data must keep an internal record of their processing activities including details of the categories of personal data it processes, the purpose of the data processing activities, applicable retention periods, and the technical and organisational measures taken to keep the data secure.

@Geektastic pricing from ChopMate to make a board to my supplied specs using Tasmanian Blackwood was very reasonable I thought, so thanks for the recommendation - definitely a possibility.
I've also located someone in Canterbury who makes custom boards out of a variety of woods, including North American Hard Maple. I haven't got pricing for my requested specs yet, but he has been very helpful and informative; and based on pricing of other boards he currently has I'm hopeful it will be within budget. And I really like the idea of him being (relatively) local so I can see some of his finished work in person before committing. So another good option I think.
I will almost definitely get one custom made, as pricing seems to be no more than buying a pre-made one - but has the advantage of getting exactly what you want.

What is Movies Tab Plus?
Movies Tab Plus is introduced to Google Chrome users as a tool that can help them learn about new movies and get more information about them. Although it works to some extent, there are things that make this seemingly beneficial extension an unreliable piece of junk. Anti-Spyware-101.com malware experts indicate that the add-on is not a critically malicious infection that could cause damage no matter what you do. Nonetheless, it is a potentially unwanted program that has many privileges and that allows unknown parties to spy on users. Needless to say, it is our strong recommendation that you delete Movies Tab Plus from your Google Chrome browser. Unfortunately, you might have to eliminate cookies and, possibly, remove other undesirable and unreliable programs to get your operating system completely clean. If you are confused, and you want to learn more about the entire situation, we advise continue reading this report.
How does Movies Tab Plus work?
Unreliable, unpopular programs are usually spread in clandestine ways to trick users into letting them in. In many cases, software distributors use software bundles to promote several different programs at the same time. Without a doubt, malicious bundles are represented via unreliable sources. The installer of Movies Tab Plus could also be introduced to users via pop-ups and advertisements. Overall, it is unlikely that you would acquire this extension from movies-tab.com and the Chrome web store, where the installer is offered. If you end up installing the PUP from the official source, you have better chances of understanding how it truly works. For example, the Privacy Policy represented via the Chrome web store informs all users that the extension uses tracking tools to collect information. Not only that, it also allows third parties to track information as well, and that, of course, is an important reason to remove Movies Tab Plus because you do not know if these third parties have positive or malicious intentions.
The official download page, movies-tab.com, is the same page that you will see set as your New Tab page if you end up installing the extension. Instead of the download link, the page will simply introduce you to the search field. Can you trust this search tool? The same unpredictable third parties that can spy on you can also showcase advertisements, and, of course, there is no telling whether or not these ads can be trusted. Aside from that, Movies Tab Plus does offer news stories and movie trailers, which is why some users are likely to continue trusting this potentially unwanted program. That being said, it is important to weight all pros and cons before deciding whether the service or the program can be trusted. If you like access to movie-related news, but you understand how risky it might be to have unknown parties spying on you and exposing you to unpredictable content, it is most likely that you will choose to remove Movies Tab Plus from your operating system.
How to delete Movies Tab Plus
You probably know how to delete Chrome extensions, and if you do, you should be able to remove Movies Tab Plus yourself successfully. That is not all that you need to do. We also recommend erasing cookies and clearing browsing data to ensure that no one is spying on you. Next, you must scan your operating system because you want to know if other threats exist. Hopefully, they do not, but if they do, you need to research and delete them quickly. You must research them because you want to know what kinds of security issues you might be dealing with. When it comes to elimination, you need to be cautious. Some threats are very hard to erase manually, even if you are experienced, which is why we recommend using anti-malware software instead. It will automatically eliminate all threats, and, more importantly, it will help you keep your operating system clean and malware-free in the future.
Removal Instructions
- Launch Google Chrome.
- Enter chrome://extensions/ into the address bar.
- Find the unwanted add-on, click the recycle button, and select Remove.
- Enter chrome://settings/clearBrowserData into the address bar.
- Select the time range and mark the boxes representing the data you want to clear.
- Click CLEAR BROWSING DATA.

Introvert nice guy suggests his crush to cheat her boyfriend & give him a chance, gets savage response
I don't understand that why people try to ruin someone else's life. Let them live happily and decide on their own if they want to reconsider their choices. Trying to knit a nest of intrigue for someone is not something to be appreciated.
This guy who contacted his crush through the messages tried to convince her to dump her boyfriend. He is an introvert as reported by his friend and wears a dress of niceness. Though his messages are showing a different personality. Saying something like, "Hey I saw your boyfriend, and you deserve better, someone like me. It's not about looks, you know right?" is like promoting someone to cheat.
"I expect you to give me a chance, he's never good for you. I wouldn't ever hurt you," asking someone to hurt another dude in return of not getting hurt again, damn man! you forgot Karma.
Turns out that the girl even doesn't know the guy. She told him to give a shut up call to his accusations against her boyfriend.
The girl has made it clear in the messages not to disturb her again in this regard. The guy, on the other hand, went south quickly. He was an introvert and was always found quiet but this time he replied with stupid remarks. Definitely, a poor guy pretending to be a nice guy to score some girl.
Guys! don't use such poor tactics and don't be a cause to let down the men community.

Ben Affleck FINALLY Moves Out of Home He Shared With Jennifer Garnerby Tyler Johnson at .
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner might be in the midst of the slowest celebrity divorce in Hollywood history.
As you've no doubt heard, Affleck and Garner separated way back in June of 2015.
In the months that followed, there were many times when it looked as though Ben and Jen would get back together, and the couple later admitted that they had tried to work things out.
But it wasn't meant to be.
In April, Garner filed for divorce from Affleck, but the actors weren't finished the ripping the Band-Aid off quite yet.
There were several more weeks of foot-dragging, as Ben continued to take up residence in the guesthouse of the Malibu home he had previously shared with Garner and the couple's three kids.
Now, Affleck is finally taking his leave of the posh residence.
People magazine is reporting today that after several weeks of searching, Ben has found an acceptable bachelor pad and has commenced the process of relocating.
Neighbors say they saw moving trucks parked in front of Affleck's former mansion over the weekend.
"They want to be sure the kids are comfortable," a source close to the couple tells People.
"He's moving fairly close by and it's all in step with what they've always said was the most important thing: their children.
While there are still many issues to be worked out with regard to custody and the division of property, Ban and Jen are reportedly in agreement that the Malibu house will serve as their kids' primary residence.
"One thing they agree on — the kids will stay at the family house," the insider tells People.
"Jen and Ben will focus on making things as smooth as possible for the kids. It's all about what's best for them."
We can't say we're surprised that Ben's not trying to take the kids.
We're sure he's a committed father and all, but freakin' Batman is about to be living by himself in a mansion, probably in Beverly Hills or some such posh neighborhood.
The guy is in a position to put Wilt Chamberlain to shame, and you just cant' let kids interfere with a noble mission like that.

There could be more pressure on Members of Parliament from Northwestern Ontario next month. A bill to abolish the federal long gun registry could go for third and final reading before the Christmas break. Kenora M.P. Greg Rickford says he's not happy how two NDP members of Parliament from Thunder Bay have been treated on the issue. Rickford feels John Rafferty and Bruce Hyer should be allowed to vote the way they want, without being disciplined by their party.

The TRUArt Stage Professional Woodburning Burning Kit is the one you'll want to get if you're serious about doing woodburning and want to get a kit that will expand what you can do. It comes with incredibly precise heat control. It also comes with an ergonomic pen, which feels good in your hand, and keeps you close enough to your work to help you maintain clean lines. The tip changes are also very fast on this model, which is great for people who will be using lots of different tips in the same project. This is made possible by a mix of great tip design and rapid tip cooldown.
That makes this kit one of the best on the market for people who want to be able to do precision work quickly, at a low price. It also comes with 20 tips. Some people like them a lot, while more experienced users will want to change them out. Overall, there's a ton of value to be had in this kit, especially if you don't mind changing out the tips for better ones. However, if you're an amateur, you should be happy with the value this kit provides for the price.
The Razertip Dual Burner with Large Skew Pen is the model you'll want to get if you're looking for a premium, hassle-free experience. This model has some of the best low-end temperature control on the market, which gives users an extra level of control that most other models can't give you. It also comes with the option of plugging in two burners at once. You can switch between them with the touch of a switch, and they heat so quickly that many users report just a few seconds of downtime while switching their kit out. That fast temperature change pays even more dividends, as you can switch out tips on the interchangeable pen in record time.
That makes this particular model great for people who make their own tips. While Razertip has a wide selection of great tips, many advanced wood burners start making their own to save money and get the exact shape they want. Since you can change out tips so quickly and easily on this model, it's great for those people. The only thing that keeps this great kit out of first place is that it costs nearly 50 percent more than our top model.
If you're looking to expand what you can do with your pyrography equipment, you can go wrong with this set, which comes with 35 different pieces, including tips and stamps. These are made from brass, which is great at transferring heat, and include stamps, which allow you to quickly create common shapes with a single touch. Also included is a stencil, which will allow you to quickly create lettering and numbers without having to plan the shapes yourself. It also comes with great directions and tips, so you can maximize your use of these tips in a safe manner which will extend their life.
You can also get this kit at an incredible kit, making it the best for the money on our list. If you want to upgrade what you can do and already own a burner tool, then you can't go wrong with the addition of these tips and stamps to your collection. What ultimately keeps this model out of the top two is that it doesn't include a burner tool, which is reasonable given the price. While it's not something which beginners should buy, it makes a great addition to any established pyrographer's collection.
The Walnut Hollow 5570 is a great choice for beginning pyrographers. The best thing about it is its very low price. That means you can try it out without worrying about committing too much of your money to the endeavor. It also comes with four interchangeable tips, so you won't be too limited in what you can do, even though this is otherwise a kit for beginners. It also comes with a tool stand, so you'll have a place to rest the pen while it's not in use, and it won't damage any of your furniture by accident. This model only comes with one temperature, but the good news is that it only has to heat to that one temperature, so it gets there quickly and maintains it very well.
However, this model only achieves one temperature, which isn't enough to give you a full range of options when working. It's also not the most durable wood burning tool on the market. You should get a few years of use out of it, but it won't last forever. Given the price, it's still a good tool for beginners, but experts will want more out of their purchase.
The Darice Woodburning Creativity Set is another set that has the potential to be a good set for beginners. It comes with four tips, so you'll be able to work on different kinds of projects and use different techniques inside the same project. It's also available at a price low enough that you won't feel like you're out an arm and a leg when you buy this kit. However, like the previous model, this model only comes with one temperature. That limits what you can do with this wood burner.
It also has poor durability. It seems to be worse than the previous model on our list. At most, you should expect a year or two of use, and less if you end up using this model frequently. The included tips also aren't the best you can find on the market, and will sometimes warp under their own heat, rendering them useless. Overall, there are a lot of better choices on the market today, and most people would be better off with a kit that gave them better quality and durability. Even though this kit is cheap, it's going to leave most people unhappy with their purchase.
The TRUArt Stage Professional Woodburning Burning Kit is our favorite kit due to its precise heat control, ergonomic pen, and fast tip changes. In second is the Razertip Dual Burner with Large Skew Pen which comes with great low-end temperatures and the ability to plug in two pens at once but suffers from a high price. The TRUArt Wood and Leather Pyrography Pen Set is a great set to get if you're looking to expand what you can do, as its 35 brass tips and stamps give you the option to do just about any task you can do with a wood burner. Since it's so inexpensive, it's the best overall kit for the money on our list. The Walnut Hollow 5570 is inexpensive and easily maintains a constant temperature, but lacks temperature controls, and has poor durability which means it can rise no higher than fourth place. In the last place is the Darice Woodburning Creativity Set which comes with four tips, but only has one temperature and has severe durability problems.

Interstitial pneumonia may be new category of undifferentiated connective tissue disease
Click Here to Manage Email Alerts
DESTIN, Fla. — Interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features may potentially be the newest category of undifferentiated connective tissue disease, according to Judith James, MD, PhD, of the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation and the Oklahoma University Health Science Center.
"There are no guidelines or recommendations for undifferentiated connective tissue disease, and there isn't a lot that has been published on it, but one new thing I did find is about interstitial lung disease (ILD), and what the pulmonologists are calling interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features," James told attendees at the 2019 Congress of Clinical Rheumatology. "Some patients with ILD will have some symptoms that are suggestive of our diseases."
"They will have some autoantibodies, some morphologic features on our high-resolution CT scans, that look like ILD that is usually found with rheumatic diseases," she added. "However, they do not have scleroderma, they do not have the symptoms that we think of as being very consistent and convincing."
According to James, this condition has gone by several names in the literature, including undifferentiated connective tissue disease-ILD, lung-dominant connective tissue disease and autoimmune-featured ILD. However, criteria released in 2015, which aimed to set a single classification that would allow for prospective studies with uniform diagnostic parameters, finalized the terminology as interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features.
This paved the way for studies to use these criteria to further review the condition's characteristics and patient population. According to James, these studies identify a "distinct subgroup" of patients, characterized chiefly by female sex, younger age and better response to treatment compared with those with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis only.
One study, published in Clinical Rheumatology in 2017, analyzed 81 patients with "stable" undifferentiated connective tissue disease at a single center, who were evaluated for interstitial lung disease at baseline and during 1 to 2 years of follow-up. The participants were also assessed for routine labs, nailfold videocapillaroscopy, antinuclear antibodies, B-mode echocardiography and lung function.
According to James, 7.4% of patients in the study demonstrated interstitial lung disease, through a nonspecific interstitial pneumonia pattern, on high-resolution CT scans. Of these six patients, three were asymptomatic. Among the remaining three symptomatic patients, treatment with azathioprine stabilized lung function, with no radiographic progression.
In addition, 12.3% of participants demonstrated decreased diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide, which was unexplained by smoking, obstructive pulmonary disease or cardiac or pulmonary vascular disease, James said. Of these patients, seven remained stable and three improved.
The study also found that lung involvement was not significantly associated with disease duration, Raynaud's disease or anti-Ro antibodies, James said.
"Pulmonologists will probably be sending more patients with interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features our way in the future," she added. "So, I think this means we need to be thinking more about lung involvement, even if it is not a terribly frequent component of undifferentiated connective tissue disease." – by Jason Laday

Situated in a small square next to Pollensa's famous Calvari Steps, one of the Island's main tourist attractions, this beautifully presented restaurant sits amongst other bar/cafes, restaurants and shops and enjoys almost constant footfall. You approach the business via the terrace of 46m2, which has capacity to seat around 40 customers. Inside, you will find 67m2 of space: a small entrance hall, leading to the main body of the restaurant; an open kitchen which is fully equipped; with storage and male and female washrooms to the rear.
The current owners open from February to November, offering breakfasts, snack lunches and dinners and they have built quite a reputation for their 'Tapas Feast Set Menu'.
The clientele are made up of international tourists mainly; however, with so many ex-pats and holiday home owners in the area, they have a regular and returning customer base also.
COMMENT: This is the perfect location and size for a couple with energy and vision, who wish to build on the current success. It is rare to be able to say that a new owner just needs to turn the key and start working immediately and we cannot recommend viewing strongly enough.

Roots of Racial Justice in South Carolina
Lawsuit by Rural Farmers, Clergy Became Basis of 'Brown' Ruling
Listen to Part 2
Levi and Hammitt Pearson hadn't planned on changing the nation. The two South Carolina farmers wanted something much simpler: They and more than a dozen other families in rural Clarendon County needed gas for a run-down bus to get their children to school.
When school officials refused, it sparked what is considered the first legal battle against desegregation of American schools. That case would become a foundation of one of the most important U.S. Supreme Court rulings of the century, Brown v. Board of Education.
The odyssey of the Brown ruling began when a rural preacher named Rev. J. A. DeLaine convinced his neighbors in Clarendon County to file a lawsuit demanding the end of separate, unequal schools for their children.
That lawsuit, Briggs v. Elliot, was the first of five across the nation that would be combined into the landmark 1954 Brown decision, which found that racially segregated schools and the notion of "separate but equal" were inherently unconstitutional.

2017 saw massive development in the rare earth elements market across four levels; namely, policy, prices, supply and end-user markets.
With respect to policy, China's Department of the Raw Materials Industry and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology organised the Chinese rare-earth industry into six groups, the last of which was completed earlier this year.
The first half of the year ended with China issuing its production quotas, which included an output of 52,500 tonnes of mineral products and 49,925 tonnes of smelted products. July saw the implementation of an on-site verification process conducted in five main Provinces as well as Inner Mongolia's autonomous regions, which assisted in weeding out illicit material.
With respect to supply, in October, Jiangxi Province took the lead in introducing rare-earth whole-chain management measures which ensured that the province could take control over the mining, smelting, separation, resource recovery and trade of rare-earths. Furthermore, any producer that met this standard would then be allowed to mine, import and trade rare-earths.
More stringent controls, both in terms of illegal mining and environmental concerns, coupled with stockpiling by the State Reserve, resulted in a higher proportion of legitimate material and improved prices. Moreover, the fact that China's industry was nationalised into six producers gave the country control over prices. This is evidenced by Rising Non-ferrous Metals Company's planned shutdown in October following a slowdown in prices in September. Similarly, Ganzhou's Rare Earth's Group's official website revealed that Southern ionic rare earth enterprises Alliance initiatives would cease production in October. The upshot was that praseodymium, neodymium and gadolinium prices rose 30% during that time.
Higher prices have spurred a renewal of investments into the rare earth sector outside of China. Rainbow in Burundi began shipping material, Lynas continued to be in the black, and Mkango resources planned to start mining Songwe Hill in Malawi within the next three years. Hastings has entered into a MoU with a Chinese company to provide 2,000 tonnes of mixed rare-earth carbonate and Russian State-owned Energy Company, Ou Tanke Group Co, Ltd is expected to jointly develop Kyrgyz-based rare earth mine with Baotou City Hong Bot Technology Co. We anticipate that more funding will become available in 2018 and we should see further development of rare-earth projects outside of China.
In addition to developing rare-earth projects, investment in alternative sources of rare-earths was seen in 2017. Perhaps the most high profile was the support of rare-earth extraction from coal sources, which was sponsored by the US Department of Defense. The Trump Administration has been particularly vocal about reducing US reliance on imports for critical minerals, and we expect to see more funding come available for these types of projects in 2018.
Japan too has tried its utmost to protect its interests and has elected to keep the import tariff for quick-setting magnets from China at zero. Japan is the largest importer of these magnets that are used in the development of electric vehicles. Keeping this rate at zero is expected to offset some of the increases in production costs.
Going forward, we expect that the 2018 rare-earth market should continue to increase steadily, driven by growing usage of clean energy, such as wind power, and the continued uptake of electric vehicles.
The Core Consultants' Rare Earth Monthly Report was first released in 2010 and became the first regular monthly rare earth publication by a non-Chinese firm. The report analyses global trends in Chinese and non-Chinese production, regulations and trade. It also tracks developments in end-user demand and prices. Each issue provides short-term (2-months), medium term (1-year) and long-term (5-year) price forecasts. The subscriber base for this report is varied and ranges from end-users, including global technology manufacturing and industrial firms, to traders, financial institutions and suppliers.

Apple's new 'Shot on iPhone' Ad Campaign Extends to Massive Ads Placed on the Exterior of NHL Arenas in the U.S. & Canada
Last month at the SAP Center, the home of the San Jose Sharks and the heart of 2019 Honda NHL All-Star Weekend, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and two of the League's cutting-edge stars -- Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid, 22, and Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews, 21 -- talked about innovation, technology and sports with Apple's Phil Schiller, SVP worldwide marketing. "We love the collaboration that we have with Apple," Commissioner Bettman said. "It has helped transform the game without changing the game itself."
So it's not really surprising to learn from a report by ADWEEK that a special "Shot on iPhone' campaign extended to the NHL.
The report posted earlier today notes that "The Shot on iPhone campaign has long been known for highlighting the surprisingly artistic shots that can be captured by just about any caliber of photographer. Now the outdoor-focused effort is heading onto the ice and behind the scenes of the NHL to give fans a closer look at the game and its star players.
In new ads launching today on arenas across the U.S. and Canada, Apple features photos taken on the iPhone XS by some of today's top hockey pros and featuring candid moments with their teammates.
Participating teams include the Tampa Bay Lightning, Washington Capitals, St. Louis Blues, Edmonton Oilers, Carolina Hurricanes, Arizona Coyotes, Ottawa Senators and Philadelphia Flyers (sadly, as you can see below, the Flyers ad features star left wing James van Riemsdyk and not Gritty)."

First, sources within the district indicate that plans are underway to launch a search for a new varsity baseball coach for 2017, with a job posting expected soon.
Second, parents of CHS baseball players are being urged via email to oppose the plan to remove Fischetti, who has been under fire for nearly two years for alleged bullying of some players.
An email from the CHS Baseball Boosters has been circulating for the last week urging players and their parents to contact school board members and Superintendent John Ramos to support Fischetti, adding that they have learned he is to be removed as coach.
The letter states, in part:
We have learned that the superintendent may not recommend to the school
board the reappointment of Coaches Fischetti and Becht for this coming season.
This is despite a recent investigation that, I understand, has cleared the coaches
of any HIB violations during the 2015 season, and following a very successful
2016 season.
This is also despite the fact that the coaches enjoy support among nearly
all of the players and, from what we've heard, many of you.
This is also despite the fact that they continue to enjoy the support of both
Ms. Aaron and Mr. Busichio.
Because we have just learned that this issue may be raised at tonight's
Board of Education meeting, either publicly or privately, I am sharing this
information with you in case you wish to email either Dr. Ramos and/or
any of the board of members to express your position with respect to our
Read the entire letter, sent last Monday, HERE.
It's been six months since a former player filed a lengthy lawsuit accusing Fischetti and some of his staff of harassment, intimidation and bullying (HIB).
Several other parents have also filed complaints, several of which were found to be valid by the district's own investigation.
Since then, the school district has racked up more than $20,000 in legal bills, with more on the way; paid an outside investigator $5,000 to re-investigate the coach -- and has yet to release those findings; and still has not indicated publicly how it plans to handle the team's future.
Ramos was expected to update residents at the last school board meeting last week, but did not.
But according to the Boosters letter, there are apparently indications he is not expected to be appointed coach for the 2017 season. Fischetti is also a full-time CHS physical education teacher, a job that appears unaffected by the latest information.
Ramos and Athletic Director Larry Busichio did not respond to requests for comment on the letter or Fischetti's future as coach. CHS Boosters did respond to an email about the letter, but with no comment about their plans other than to apparently confirm the letter's validity.

"Because I Could not Stop for Death" is a lyric poem written by Emily Dickinson. It was first published in 1890, posthumously, as if stressing even more on its main these – death. The poetess personifies death describing it as a gentleman who decides to take a ride in a carriage together with the poetess to her grave.
Buy Because I Could not Stop for Death essay paper online
The poem reflects a specific way of thinking of the author who was brave enough to relate in several lines her bitterness and inability to escape from death. "Because I Could not Stop for Death" is truly one of the best creations in the English language as it is practically impossible to find any flaws in it. Each image seems to be precise as well as closely bound with the central idea, never seem to let it go.
The reader can feel a certain gradation with the carriage nearing the graveyard. Every image intensifies and extends the previous image building up a strong foundation for the coming one. The poetic elements are used perfectly well. It may also reflect some cultural background of Emily Dickinson who had always been a deep-thinking woman with profound cultural knowledge and feelings.Want an expert to write a paper for you Talk to an operator now
Already the first line shows the importance of our life on Earth. Dickinson depicts how the speaker in the poem (the author herself, however, each person who reads the poem feels as if this poem is recited by himself or herself so deep the emotions in it are) does not want to go with Death because of being busy with her live, and therefore, Death takes the time and 'so kindly' stops for her.
The author emphasizes the significant of this moment, depicting it as a big honor for ordinary human being to receive such a civil treatment from Death: "And I had put away my labor and my leisure too". The two of them were enjoying the carriage ride as Death 'knew no haste'.
However, whatever pleasurable or honorable the feelings of the author were in the first stanza of the poem, the second one reveals her bitterness and inability to change even a little thing: They saw the setting sun, the playing children and the grain fields for the last time. Emily Dickinson aptly shows how she has already stopped to be like all other living human beings just with one comparison that the sun passed them – accentuating that since she sat in the carriage with Death, she turned into a part of the landscape ceasing to be a full of value person on Earth anymore.
After the bitterness of dying comes the realization of it. The death becomes very physical: "The Dews drew quivering and chill" and her clothes seems to be something she would never wear like that cape that was always mad of fur, is now "only Tulle". And then the moment comes – she arrives to her new house. She understands that this house is just a place for rest, however, she still feels very cold as she looks directly into the eye of her death which she finally percepts both physically and mentally, realizing that all she had before means now nothing and can never be returned. Her days are gone.
In the end of the poem, we have a certain feeling of immortality which appears since she is gone to eternity. No wonder that the author managed to pass the feeling of real death so perfectly well to the reader – her poems seem to depict the last moments of life again and again. The interesting feature is that death in her works is never frightening or urging – it's always understanding and kind. The death means immortality and no one should fear it: Time will not have the meaning anymore, as the realization comes that final peace has come and the soul is relieved.

eredeti cikk
By Tenzin Dharpo
DHARAMSHALA, May 21: Following the revelation by exiled Tibetan leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama that the Indian government prevented a meeting between him and Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2014, a former senior Indian intelligence official has said that New Delhi may have been exercising legitimate concern in trying to ward of Chinese designs to drive a "wedge" between the Tibetan leader and his host.
Amitabh Mathur, a high-ranking former Indian intelligence official who served as an adviser to the government on Tibetan affairs told The Guardian that China might be trying to exploit the meeting to create tension leading New Delhi to prevent the meeting. "The Chinese would certainly like to drive a wedge between His Holiness and the government of India," Mathur said.
The meeting that never happened would have also helped China in gaining soft power in the global diplomatic stage, says Adrian Zenz who is a lecturer at the European School of Culture and Theology, Korntal, Germany. Zenz, who is also a researcher on ethnic policies in China, Tibet and Xinjiang said, "The main thing the Chinese would gain from it is soft power from the world because the Dalai Lama is seen as a person of peace and the world sees China as oppressing people," he said.
A book by noted Indian journalist stated that the Dalai Lama during an interview made the revelation. An excerpt from the book on the revelation states the Dalai Lama as saying, "In 2014, when Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Delhi for talks with Prime Minister Modi, I requested a meeting with him. President Xi Jinping agreed, but the Indian government was cautious about the meeting, so it didn't happen."
While the Dalai Lama's office made no statements on the matter, the author said her transcripts of the interview to the same office for approval received no objections.
The ageing Tibetan leader who is widely seen as the spearhead of Tibet and the political movement of the Tibetans has become an integral part of the geo-political discourse, particularly when it concerns the two largest powers in Asia: China and India, rendering many to label him as New Delhi's trump card when dealing with China.
The Nobel laureate has maintained that although Tibet is a historically independent nation, he is seeking autonomy under the Chinese framework moving forward. He has advocated dialogue between his representatives and Beijing over the last few decades.
The talks between the two sides have stalled since 2010 after nine rounds of meeting. The two envoys, Lodi G. Gyari and Kelsang Gyaltsen resigned in June 2012 citing lack of genuine conviction to resolve the issue from Beijing. The exile Tibetan government, known officially as the Central Tibetan Administration continues to call out Beijing for dialogue.

Christmas is Magical
"Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies. ... Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world."
November ... time to get some jobs done!
Crikey, it's November already. Can you believe it? I can't. It seems no matter how much I spread the Christmas activity throughout the year, I feel a sense of panic come November. Time to finish up some of those work in progress projects! First job done, another tree skirt.
The one is in a woodland traditional theme, red, green, burgundy, cream and three types of faux fur yarns. It's worked out very lush.
Around the edge is a double band of a new-for-me faux fur yarn, that has gold metallic threads. The photos don't do it justice, as it really sparkles in the light. Just the thing for the holidays.

Saints sign RB Jonathan Williams off Broncos practice squad, report says
The Saints are reinforcing their already dominant rushing attack.
New Orleans on Tuesday signed second-year running back Jonathan Williams off the Broncos practice squad, NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported.
Thinking of cutting the cord? Sign up for a one-month trial subscription to DAZN, the ultimate sports streaming service in Canada, including every NFL game and top European soccer competitions.
According to the report, the undisclosed deal is for two years and will allow Williams to reunite with Saints running backs coach Joel Thomas after Thomas served as Williams' position coach at Arkansas.
Williams was selected by the Bills in the fifth round of the 2016 draft but was released in September before being signed to the Broncos' practice squad just days later.
Williams, 23, ran for just 94 yards and a touchdown as a rookie but averaged nearly 6 yards per carry while rushing for 121 yards in three preseason games this year.

It List: Tuesday
We Shot J.R. Presents- Times New Viking/Psychedelic Horseshit/Fight Bite/Wax Museums (Strawberry Fields): I'm really impressed with our blog yet again. Some time last November, I heard two new records on the same day, and both of them completely blew me away. That NEVER happens. One was Times New Viking's Present the Paisley Reich, and the other was Psychedelic Horseshit's Magic Flowers Droned. Both instantly swept me off my feet, and I couldn't decide which one I liked more. But luckily I won't have to make such a decision tonight, because I'll be able to see both bands at one of my favorite venues in the metroplex. I'm certainly glad we nabbed this show too, because after receiving Pitchfork's Best New Music tag in addition to tons of other positive press all over the blogosphere, Times New Viking could have totally big timed us. But they didn't. TNV's sound is simultaneously innocent pop and harsh, destructive noise, featuring the rare combo of sing-a-long lyrics and ear piercing feedback that gives the music a power that you don't often find in pop or avant rock. Taking cues from lo-fi and punk, TNV will probably please Guided by Voices and Shaggs fans alike. Psychedelic Horseshit takes this pop/noise combo to an even greater extreme in my mind, and the results are quite thrilling too. Their most recent full length is honestly one of the most adventurous yet cohesive rock records I've heard in a very long time, and I'm really excited to see how loud these people get. Our local openers are no slouches either, so get to this by 830 to catch them both. Oh yeah, it's $5, BYOB and All Ages, so bring the kids*. AND PS- PLEASE TREAT STRAWBERRY FIELDS WITH RESPECT. THROW YOUR DAMN TRASH AWAY, SMOKE OUTSIDE, AND DON'T PUKE INSIDE PLEASE. ANYONE CAUGHT STEALING WILL GET THE SHIT KICKED OUT OF THEM BY SALLY GLASS AND HER CAMERA.
Woods/Blues Control/Teenage Cool Kids (715 Panhandle): If I didn't have my own totally sweet shit happening tonight, this is the place I would be for sure. For me, the highlight here is Blues Control. I first encountered Blues Control a few months ago when I downloaded the two most recent releases, Puff and Blues Control. Both are extremely captivating in a highly hypnotizing manner, as blues leaning psychedelic rock riffs float rather quietly in a background of dreamy haze, distant percussion, krautrock ambience and an array of samples. It's sort of like what it would sound like to fall asleep with video games and Physical Grafitti playing in the background at the same time. Very unique and a lot of fun, Blues Control's music seems to exist in a world of its own creation. Woods, featuring members of Meneguar, is a jangly, acoustic psyche-folk influenced band that does quite a bit with a fairly familiar set of influences, pulling from artists such as Six Organs of Admittance, Feathers, and even Sandy Bull, all with a rough around the edges and loose approach that really seems to work as pop music.
BLK JKS/PPT/The Party (Green Elephant): You know what totally blows balls about SMU? The fact that you could put this show (featuring this month's Fader cover artists BLK JKS and a bunch free booze) at a college bar near pretty much any large campus in the country, and you'd be guaranteed a good party and a huge crowd. Stick it at a college bar near SMU, however, and you're forced to wonder a) how many young republicans have ever heard of Fader, and b) whether the ones who have are willing to park their cars on the east side of 75. But I guess if anyone could inspire such things in Dallas, it's Central Booking and Gorilla vs Bear, both of whom are sponsors of this show. Johannesburg's BLK JKS are a pretty unusual group to say the least, and I'm having a little trouble finding reference points to describe them. Ok, here's a try: take little bits of late 60's and early 70's African High Life pop, mix with Jeff Buckley (I know, whatever, right?), add a dash of really strange Ska, a touch of some guitar heavy traditional African music and blues, and a pinch of avant punk, and you'd be pretty close... to sounding like an idiot. Whatever, I tried. Interesting stuff though, and if you're kickin' cans around Dallas tonight, you might want to think about taking this opportunity to see some truly experimental and captivating music while drinking free booze and trying not to appear in a DON'T, as Vice Magazine will apparently be in the house as well. Do they still do those?
Neptune/Geistheistler (Fra House, Oak St., Denton): Geistheistler is David and Justin, formerly of Notes from Underground, doing a two piece noise improv beginning at 930 this evening. Neptune will go on at 1030, and unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to hear them. However, you can use the miracle of technology to click on the damn link above and listen yourself.
Why?/Cryptacize/Sunburned Hand of the Man/Astronautalis/Bangs (Rubber Gloves): I really can't get into Why? for a number of reasons that I don't have time to detail here, but I would definitely be interesting in checking out Sunburned, whose recent release Fire Escape (produced by Four Tet) is easily one of the best things they've ever done. The album focuses much more on rhythm and groove than most of their previous material, and a lot of it reminds me of some ungodly combination of Liquid Liquid, Can, and Miles Davis' On the Corner.

The Adventurous School
Vision, community and curriculum for primary education in the twenty-first century

It looks at the ways in which the three schools have taken the power to make decisions about their school improvement priorities in ways that give their pupils a central and active rather than tokenistic role. It is about learning and leadership for everyone including the pupils. 'The Adventurous School' is characterised in the book as one that is creative and ingenious, develops a confident spirit and a hardy disposition, has a map and planned routes but is not rigid about the journey, is evolutionary, travels with others, takes risks, is questing, questioning and enquiring and is there for something more than itself.

Chapter 12: Conclusion
Joyous learning between communities of teaching colleagues and their primary children shines through this book ... This is a practical engaging read that inspires the reader through the art of story.
What a joy to read a book that has "children at its heart", and pulsates with tales of learning experiences for children that combine adventure with excitement and enquiry. This is a happy and inspiring story of how empowered teachers and collaborative schools can overcome the reductionism of a low trust political environment to accomplish 'higher standards' than the mandarins and politicians could ever imagine. To the professionals in The Adventurous Schools 'higher standards' mean much more than the empty rhetoric of ever increasing test scores. They embrace a visionary notion of sustainable learning that prepares young people to make a life not just a living, and to contribute as engaged and thoughtful participants in a more civil and equitable society. This is a book that should be read by anyone that is genuinely interested in children and their education, and particularly by those educators who may be losing hope.
This is a remarkable book containing significant messages for anyone engaged in school improvement … which is to say everyone involved in schooling. Recent school improvement initiatives have been very much politically led. The system has been re- structured, the workforce retrained, the curriculum re-engineered and so on and on. The driving metaphor for these interventions has been that of education as a production line. Politicians know all the answers and the profession must be got up to scratch under the lash of Ofsted.
The authors of The Adventurous School are deeply committed to school improvement but they do not like the production line metaphor. They do not believe anyone knows all the answers or indeed all the questions. They are acutely alert to the dangers of being captured by driving metaphors and have gone to a lot of trouble to choose their own. They chose schooling as 'adventure' it being an exciting but risky enterprise.
Most of the authors hold senior positions in primary schools each in its challenging context. They tell the story of how the metaphor of adventure shaped how the formed their school visions, how it informed and fructified their working relationships with their local communities and how it inspired them to re-create their curriculum. For each school the adventure has been hugely successful in terms of the experiences and achievements of the pupils and of community engagement. Their argument that their adventure metaphor liberated forces of creativity that a production line metaphor could not even imagine is very persuasive.
At the heart of their metaphor of course is the issue of risk. No risk means no adventure. The metaphor calls for bravery as well as creativity. How is risk to be appraised and managed; how can teachers or indeed schools help each other to be courageous and creative; how can communities and pupils be maximally engaged in the adventure whilst at the same time securing all the achievements desired by the most demanding of parents? The authors face all these questions. They share their vision, they philosophize quite a lot but they also tell a very practical story warts and all.
If you like an adventure story this is a good read. If you like the adventure metaphor this is a good guide.
In a time of educational uncertainty, how refreshing it is to read a book that celebrates the work of three visionary schools who have shown the courage to set their learning in the context of their children, their community and our collective future.
The book gives a clear direction for schools to take if we want the well-being of our children, the engagement of our communities and the sustainability of our wider world to be at the heart of what we teach and how our children learn.
Read it, enjoy the stories and let's see how many of us can apply more of this type of real life learning to our own school practices.
As a society we are starting to realise we live on the edge of the unexpected; facing challenges such as economic instability, social inequality and stresses due to a changing climate; this book offers us a refreshing angle on how those working in education and schools may innovate their own (successful) path into an uncertain future.
It seeks to understand how we might transform our education system through the inspiring and engaging active inquiries of three schools. The insights into learning and leadership lay a strong and necessary foundation for those who wish to become a sustainable school. If more schools went on their own adventures of learning we might just create a better world and prepare pupils for any future that lies ahead of them.
A must-read for anyone in education seeking to carve their own pathway into an uncertain future.
