Torex Semiconductor Europe Ltd achieved the certification with the support of Air Sec, an IASME Consortium licensed Certification Body and specialist cyber security division of award winning managed service provider, Air IT. Ben Curtis, Cyber Essentials Assessor at Air Sec, stated, “It’s been a pleasure to work in close partnership with Torex Semiconductor Europe Ltd. Their proactive approach to cyber security is highly commendable. These days, cyber threats can target vulnerabilities just as much as they target individual businesses.

Original title: Trump "bombardment" NATO ally, the US defense chief emergency rescue ground is on the bench.
Overseas network July 13, according to U. S. media reports, in the United States President Trump left NATO's headquarters a few hours after a few hours, the United States military executives immediately launched a comprehensive "loss control" action, and the European range of national military leaders to speak, reaffirmed that the United States will abide by the defense commitment to the region. During the NATO summit, in order to prevent Trump from "unobstructed", the Secretary of defense Matisse went to Brussels, but failed to participate in many important occasions.
According to NBC, a number of US foreign and military intelligence officials have indicated that the US Defense Department's leadership has directed the action. Senior U.S. military officials have sent a series of calls to NATO members, conveying a general message that US military bases in the United States will remain open and that the number of US troops in the region will not be reduced. The report said the US military action was "embarrassing" against Trump's continued military spending on European leaders.
A US diplomat said, "NATO alliance needs predictability." Informed officials said that after Trump promised the alliance to "put it on the table," the direct dialogue between the US military and NATO countries is to "consolidate alliance commitments".
Earlier, local time Wednesday (11), Trump asked NATO countries to increase the proportion of military spending to GDP from 2% to 4%. On Thursday (12), Trump said at a press conference, "I think I can, but I don't think it's necessary." Remember that sentence, they will pay 33 billion dollars more.
And French President Ma nicolon subsequently denied Trump's statement in public, emphasizing that the communiqu had already stated, "reaffirming the commitment of general expenses to GDP2% in 2024, only that."
A senior U. S. official revealed that Trump, who had previously held a closed door meeting with the leaders of 29 NATO members, had been "extremely aggressive", strongly demanding a substantial increase in the military budget and threatened to "reassess" NATO's commitment to the United States. Diplomats said Trump warned all allies that if the military budget was not raised, the United States would "do our own thing". Reported that some European leaders attending the meeting described Trump as a "threat".
But NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg at a press conference 12, said Trump and NATO leaders between the leaders of the "open and open discussion", and said, "this will make NATO stronger." Stoltenberg said that the clear signal sent by Trump is having an impact, "creating a new sense of urgency".
According to reports, several U. S. officials said U.S. Defense Secretary Matisse had arrived in Brussels and planned to follow Trump during a series of meetings due to fear of further intensification of the Trent and the tensions of the allies. However, during the NATO summit, Matisse finally met with NATO military officials, but missed many key occasions. US Defense Department officials told reporters that Matisse would attend a press conference with Trump, but Matisse did not appear at the end.
Reported that, as of Friday local time (13), the U.S. Department of defense has not yet responded to this. (overseas network Jiang Shu translation)

AgroSavfe will use the funding for the development, registration and commercial-scale production of its biofungicide and bioinsecticide products
Belgian crop and food protection company AgroSavfe has secured €35m (£32m) in series C funding from existing investors.
The funding was provided by existing investors including Gimv, Sofinnova Partners, PMV, Agri Investment Fund, K&E, Biovest, Madeli Participaties, VIB and Qbic. New investor, Ackermans & van Haaren joined the funding round by investing €10m (£9.16m).
AgroSavfe is developing a new generation of protein-based biocontrols to protect food across all stages.
Founded in 2013, AgroSavfe is a spin-off of Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie (VIB), which developed a new technology platform to design protein-based biocontrols that are safe, sustainable and efficient in protecting seeds, crops and food.
AgroSavfe will use the funding to increase scale for production
AgroSavfe will use the funding for the development, registration and commercial-scale production of its biofungicide and bioinsecticide products. It will also continue to strengthen its organisation.
The firm is expected to launch its first biofungicide product in 2022 for the fruit and vegetable market in the UK, followed by the launch in Europe and other regions.
Additionally, the funding will also support the accelerated development of new pipeline with applications in critical food and crop pests and diseases.
AgroSavfe CEO Patrice Sellès said: “AgroSavfe is rapidly growing as a competitive player in the biocontrol space for food protection based on our unique AGROBODY™ Foundry Platform and our ability to provide growers and food chain actors with innovative, safe and cost-effective solutions aligned with consumers’ demand.
“Having such a diverse and strong team of investors joined by Ackermans & van Haaren is a fantastic asset for the long-term ambitions of our company.”
Since 2017, the company has conducted more than 100 field trials and its biofungicie is claimed to have shown strong performance, competing with synthetic chemical solutions, without the presence of any residues.
The company further stated that its solutions can benefit the environment, adding more value to farmers’ produce and can also help meet consumers’ demand for healthier food. Beyond the field, its product candidates also showed significant impact on food protection and quality along the value chain, offering new solutions to reduce food loss.
Ackermans & van Haaren official Piet Bevernage said: “We are very enthusiastic to be able to support the further growth and development of AgroSavfe. The company has a clear strategy, a unique technology platform, an excellent management team and experienced biotech investors.
“This combination will enable AgroSavfe to play an important role in the biological crop and food protection market and to provide a sustainable solution to major challenges of the agricultural sector, such as population growth, yield increase, food loss and the demand for safe and healthy food.”

Hi, it's probably just me, but I'm getting a bit of a headache trying to figure out the logistics of getting from Dubrovnik to Korcula on September 30. I know there are a few options, but so far there seems to be road blocks with every form of transport I come across.
Bus: I see that there might possibly be a bus leaving Dubrovnik station at 9:00 am, but there's no means to purchase tickets in advance and I've read some comments that suggest that it is hit or miss as to whether this bus would be running on the day of departure.
Shuttle Bus from Dubrovnik Airport: This would be a good option as well, but the company's web site has a number of glitches, so I can't confirm whether there would be a ride option on the day I need to leave.
Catamaran: Again, not a bad option, but it would mean a later arrival to the island and the chance that it might not be running due to bad weather.
Car rental: Ideally I'd like to have a car to tour the island. It seems like I would need to take out a second mortgage to afford the rates they are asking however (leaving the island on a passenger ferry to Hvar, so would need to leave the car in Korcula).
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as the more I look into this, the more frustrated I get. Thanks, and safe travels.

Beat fatigue and exhaustion at the workplace
We all deal with weariness at work — it’s normal. Usually if you grab a coffee, have a quick stretch or take a short break, you’ll feel refreshed to push through and finish the day on a strong note. But if you find yourself feeling tired on a regular basis, it might be time to change up your routine.
Here, Healthy-worker.ca, an initiative by Public Services Health & Safety Association, recommends seven ways to fight fatigue at the workplace:
- Sleep rules. Always get a good night’s sleep. Adults need seven to nine hours — anything short of that can lead to fatigue, along with an array of other negative health outcomes including obesity, depression and diabetes. So, create a sleep sanctuary by putting away the screen, darkening your room and calling it a day at a reasonable hour.
- Limit the stimulants. This means limiting your intake of coffee and caffeinated drinks like soda or energy drinks, especially before bedtime. Regular use of stimulants can throw off the body’s natural ability to stay alert and focused throughout the day.
- Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water. When you become dehydrated, you’ll feel drained of energy and it will leave you struggling to stay awake.
- Exercise is key. If you’re feeling tired, it may not occur to you to get up and move around, but you should. Exercise — however limited — will increase blood flow, supply oxygen to your body and brain, and give you the energy boost you’re lacking.
- Don’t worry, be happy. Always try to remain positive. A negative mindset can activate the body’s stress response system, causing fatigue and other health issues.
- Take breaks. It’s easy to forget, especially if you’re working on a tight deadline, but taking short breaks allows your body to recover and your mind to refocus.
- Be mindful. Meditation is very popular these days, and for good reason. Even a 10-minute morning meditation practice has been proven to reduce anxiety, help you stay focused and keep you mindful of your surroundings throughout the day.

New York City is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. And for good reason—it’s a vibrant, exciting city with something for everyone. But it can also be a bit overwhelming, especially for first-time visitors.
If you’re planning a trip to NYC and you’re traveling solo, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. In this article, we’ll give you 5 tips for solo travelers in NYC. We’ll help you navigate the city like a pro and make the most of your trip.
Do Your Research Before You Go
If you’re new to a city, it’s a good idea to do a little research before you go. This will help you build an itinerary and make the most of your time there.
We recommend doing some research on the best neighborhoods to stay in, the top attractions, things to do and see, transportation options, and more. You can also research the best times to visit certain places.
For example, many museums have “peak seasons,” which means you may have a harder time getting tickets. Knowing this information ahead of time can help you plan better and avoid any potential disappointments.
Stay in a Centrally Located Hotel or Airbnb
One of the best tips for solo travelers in NYC is to stay in a centrally located hotel or Airbnb. This will put you in the heart of the city and make it easy to get to all the major attractions.
If you stay in a hotel, look for one that’s near a subway or bus station. You can get almost anywhere in the city by using the subway or bus. This is a great way to save money and avoid the headache of driving and parking in the big city.
But before you secure a hotel, be sure to check out luggage storage in NYC. No one wants to deal with the hassle of lugging around their belongings all day. You’d rather be able to enjoy the wonders of the city, and luggage storage in NYC enables you to do that.
If you choose to stay at an Airbnb, you can ask the host for tips and advice on the best ways to get around. They’ll likely recommend luggage storage in NYC, but if they don’t, go ahead and invest in it anyway.
It doesn’t matter if you ultimately stay in a hotel or Airbnb—having luggage storage in NYC frees you up to do what you want without cumbersome luggage bogging down your trip.
Buy a MetroCard and Familiarize Yourself With the Subway System
The NYC subway system is one of the best ways to get around the city. It’s affordable, efficient, and easy to navigate. We recommend buying a MetroCard before you go. This will allow you to swipe it to access the train system at any time.
There are different types of MetroCards, depending on the length of your stay. If you buy a 7-Day Unlimited MetroCard, it will cost $33 per person. If you plan on staying closer to 30 days, a MetroCard will run you $127.
But either option comes with unlimited uses, so you can get the most from your stay and travel as much as you like. Again, though, it’s strongly advised to invest in luggage storage in NYC before you do any traveling about the city, as this will give you the freedom to explore as you wish.
Take Advantage of Free Walking Tours
If you’re planning a trip to NYC, we highly recommend taking a free walking tour. These are a great way to get a general overview of the city and learn about some of its history.
You’ll get insider information from a knowledgeable guide and have the chance to meet people from all over the world. We recommend signing up for the free walking tour of Central Park. This tour is great for first-time visitors who want to explore the iconic park.
Another option is the free walking tour of the Financial District, where you’ll learn about the history of New York’s oldest neighborhood. You can also find NYC free walking tours that focus on specific neighborhoods or themes, like the Brooklyn Bridge or the history of NYC.
Make New Friends by Joining Meetups
If you’re a solo traveler, you may want to consider joining a meetup while you’re in NYC. Meetups are social groups centered on a specific interest or activity.
You can search for meetups in your area before you go or once you’re there. You can also find meetups while you’re in NYC by using the Meetup app. This is a great way to make new friends, try something new, and get out of your comfort zone.
As you can see, there are plenty of ways to make the most of your trip to NYC as a solo traveler. If you follow these tips, you’ll be prepared and ready to tackle this exciting city like a pro.

Does your body need natural sugar?
Our bodies need one type of sugar, called glucose, to survive. “Glucose is the number one food for the brain, and it is the most important source of fuel in the whole body,” said Dr. Kristina Rother, an NIH physician specializing in sweets.
Can you live without regular sugar? WATER is only for taste and is not necessary in a diet because the human body can survive even without sugar. See the article : What fruits spike your sugar?.
Is sugar from fruits healthier?
The sugar in fruit and added sugar are not the same, said Lauri Wright, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. See the article : Is field hockey hard?. But even for people without diabetes, the sugar in fruit is a healthier choice than sugar from other sources, according to nutritionist Wright.
Is sugar from fruit healthy? Studies have shown that sugars used in their natural sources (fruits, vegetables, seeds, dairy products) do not harm health. But, when that sugar is removed from its original source to be purified and then added to sweeten other manufactured products, it means that reducing our consumption is a wise thing.
Is fruit sugar healthier than added sugar?
Foods that contain natural sugars offer nutrients that keep your body healthy, provide quick but steady energy, and stabilize your metabolism. Fruits, for example, offer important nutrients such as potassium, vitamin C and folate. Added sugar, on the other hand, is harmful in many ways.

No officers were charged in the police killing of Breonna Taylor during a Kentucky grand jury proceeding on Wednesday.
Taylor was killed nearly six months ago on March 13 when three officers from the Lousiville Metro Police Department were conducting a no-knock warrant as part of a drug investigation. After bursting into her apartment, former officer Brett Hankison shot her six times in her sleep.
Not only were there no drugs in the apartment, the officers had shown up at the wrong place in the wrong neighborhood. In fact, the suspect they were looking for had already been apprehended.
While the grand jury did indict Hankison, he was only charged with three counts of first-degree wanton endangerment for firing shots into the neighboring apartment.
Wanton endangerment is a class D felony, the lowest class of felonies under Kentucky state law. Hankison was arrested on Wednesday afternoon and released within the hour.
Meanwhile, the other two officers involved in Taylor’s death, Jonathan Mattingly and Myles Cosgrove, were not indicted at all.
The fact that Hankison was charged for endangering the lives of the people in the apartment next door, but not for murdering an innocent woman is indicative of a much larger problem with the justice system and the state of policing in Kentucky and in the US as a whole.
How can real justice ever be served in any courtroom or in any grand jury proceeding when he was only charged for the shots that he missed?
Wednesday’s grand jury decision says a lot about how backwards the criminal justice system is in America. If you’re a white cop you can literally get away with murder. If you’re a Black woman murdered by the police, your life doesn’t matter to the courts.
It is not enough to merely echo the Founding Father’s words that Americans were all created equally. Everyone must also be treated equally in the eyes of the law.
In an interview with NBC News’ Today, Benjamin Crump, the attorney for Taylor’s family, layed out his stance on Hankison’s charges and the state of the criminal justice system in the US.
“You know, the wanton endangerment charge, it just doesn’t make sense,” Crump said. “When you think about, they had wanton endangerment for the white neighbor’s apartment, the bullets going there, but not for the bullets going into Breonna Taylor’s body.”
“It underscores what I’ve said many times. We seem to have two justice systems in America, one for Black America and one for white America,” Crump continued. “Breonna’s name wasn’t even listed on the indictment. I mean, nothing seems to say that Breonna mattered.”
And yet, Breonna Taylor did matter and she deserved so much more. She deserved to live. She deserved protection and safety. She deserved basic human decency. And she sure as hell deserved justice.
While many are not surprised by Wednesday’s outcome, it goes without saying that the lack of justice is still very much despairing, infuriating, and traumatic, especially for Black women.
The system failed Breonna Taylor and it’s okay be angry about that. It’s okay to mourn injustice. But let’s not forget that this all started with the police.

Amid a non-stop witch-hunt targeting the faith-based Gülen movement, detention warrants were issued on Tuesday for 43 people as part of investigations into the movement in four provinces, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported.
Sixteen people have been detained in Samsun province on accusations that they use a smart phone application known as ByLock. Turkish authorities believe ByLock is a communication tool among followers of the Gülen movement.
Gökçebey district gendarmerie commander B.K was detained in Zonguldak province over alleged Gülen links.
Detention warrants were issued for nine former police officers on suspicion of Gülen movement links as part of an investigation launched in Malatya province. Six of the police officers have been detained, while three are still at large.
In a similar development, detention warrants were issued for 17 people over alleged Gülen movement links as part of a Kırşehir-based investigation. Police have embarked on operations to detain suspects in four provinces including Kırşehir.
The Turkish Interior Ministry announced on Monday that 643 people have been detained in one week due to alleged links to the Gülen movement, accused by the government of masterminding a botched coup attempt last summer.
The ministry announced on Oct. 16 that 947 people had been detained the previous week.
Turkey survived a military coup attempt on July 15, 2016 that killed 249 people and wounded more than a thousand others. Immediately after the putsch the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) government along with President Tayyip Erdoğan pinned the blame on the Gülen movement.
Fethullah Gülen, who inspired the movement, strongly denied having any role in the failed coup and called for an international investigation into it, but President Erdoğan — calling the coup attempt “a gift from God” — and the government initiated a widespread purge aimed at cleansing sympathizers of the movement from within state institutions, dehumanizing its popular figures and putting them in custody.
Turkey’s Justice Ministry announced on July 13 that 50,510 people have been arrested and 169,013 have been the subject of legal proceedings on coup charges since the failed coup.
Turkey has suspended or dismissed more than 150,000 judges, teachers, police and civil servants since July 15 through government decrees issued as part of the state of emergency.

Somewhere in this great nation is a top-secret government agency in charge of providing aid to America's nonhuman citizenry. Perpetually overworked and underpaid, these dedicated civil servants soldier on with a dedication exceeded only by their respective passions for heavy rifles, stylish footwear, and good sturdy squeaky toys. They're not our country's best nor our country's brightest, but to all the lost and lonely creations of misguided science wandering the wild places of this country, they are a beacon of minimum-wage hope. This is their story.

HERMAN®, the hilarious groundbreaking cartoon feature that appears in hundreds of newspapers worldwide, continues despite the sad passing of creator Jim Unger. Unger, who died in June 2012, left a legacy of more than 8,000 HERMAN comics and a large following that’s still going strong today. In order to keep the laughs coming, Unger passed the comedic torch to cartoonist David Waisglass and illustrator Roly Wood. Waisglass had been working closely with Unger on HERMAN since 1997, when Waisglass stopped work on his own syndicated comic, FARCUS®, to assist his mentor and manage HERMAN. Unger’s outrageous humor and distinct illustrative style was an industry, with millions of HERMAN book collections sold in more than 25 countries. Born in London, Unger floated from job to job — including soldier, policeman, office clerk and repo man — before realizing his phenomenal comedic and drawing talent. In 2010, Wood joined the team to help create new Sunday strips with Waisglass and Unger. Unger told friends and family that he'd never before met anyone who could draw HERMAN as well as, if not better, than himself! Unger loved the new material and began contributing more and more new gags until his death. Although Unger wanted to publicly credit his creative partners, Waisglass and Wood strongly believed that the focus should remain on the work and its originator. The positive response from fans, friends and the entire Unger family has been terrific, encouraging the creative duo to continue the work that Unger started. "Roly and I are deeply committed to honoring Jim's comic legacy and his original brand of cartoon humor," says Waisglass. "It was his greatest wish that HERMAN live on and continue to make us laugh." Universal Uclick distributes the best of Jim Unger's classic cartoons along with new HERMAN material.
Lunarbaboon chronicles the daily struggles of a 30 something father dealing with depression, anxiety, and raising a family.

Artist Joe Staton and writer Mike Curtis co-author "Dick Tracy," the classic comic strip distributed by Tribune Media Services.Created by Chester Gould in 1931, "Dick Tracy" is one of America's most-enduring pop-cultural icons, noteworthy for its steadfast, chisel-jawed hero and the gruesome gallery of villains he and his fearless team of Crimestoppers must outwit to put behind bars. When longtime "Dick Tracy" artist and writer Dick Locher retired from the strip after 32 years of meritorious service, fans Staton and Curtis jumped at the chance to don the yellow fedora and trench coat. Staton has been drawing comic books for many years and has more than 1,000 credits under his belt. Curtis, who has been writing comics since 1986, is the only former law-enforcement officer to work on "Dick Tracy." Both creators are excited about the new--and dangerous--adventures they have in store for Dick Tracy and his Crimestoppers.

F Minus is short on life lessons, precious moments, and pearls of wisdom. Instead, this absurdist single panel comic tackles life's serious issues, pins them to the ground and steals their lunch money. Then it feels a little bit guilty and gives some of it back.

A rarity in the comics, 9 Chickweed Lane spotlights music and dance with superb artistry that complements Brooke McEldowney's strong-minded characters. A popular comic strip about three generations of family, 9 Chickweed Lane features strong characters, flights of fancy and an intuitive grasp of all kinds of relationships. The strip was recognized in 2006 for its brilliant artistry and intellectual humor when it was named Best Newspaper Comic Strip by the National Cartoonists Society. The strip appears in 60 newspapers worldwide, including the Los Angeles Times, Houston Chronicle, Calgary Sun and Columbus Dispatch. Central character Edda Burber is dancing to the beat of a different drummer these days as McEldowney focuses 9 Chickweed Lane more on the story of a young woman who moves away from home to perform with a prestigious metropolitan ballet company in New York City. Although it may seem like a completely new strip, 9 Chickweed Lane is peopled with very familiar friends, like furry feline Solange, and Edda's childhood friend and recent love interest, Amos.

In the research into care for people suffering from anxiety and depression, the quality is addressed of the care given to people with a diagnosed anxiety disorder or depression in GPs’ surgeries, and its consequences, as expressed by their recovery and by cost-effectiveness. Explicit attention is given to the patient’s preferences. The research uses data from the NESDA
study (Netherlands Study of Depression and Anxiety), a longitudinal cohort study. As of 2010, research into the long-term effects of good care is also possible, and the causes of relapse will be traceable. With the same research material NIVEL is also conducting a study of the clinical characteristics, functional status and social-demographic characteristics of patients with a diagnosed anxiety disorder or depression who are not being given care. The goal is to determine to what extent the disorders they are suffering from are less severe, to what extent they experience less hindrance, and to what extent their recovery is faster, compared to people who do make use of health care. The study will try to identify the group who do not seek help, despite a severe disorder that does not improve, in order to develop targeted, easily approachable interventions so this group can in fact be reached.
Numerous effective interventions that could be useful in general practice have been identified for the care for people with mental problems. However, their spread and implementation remains problematic. More insight is needed into the hindrances that still seem to be in place. Delegating tasks seems to be one of the possibilities for improving the introduction of new interventions. The social-psychiatric nurse and the practice assistant for the GGZ (Mental Health Care services) have already been introduced. More research is needed into the tasks they perform and the impact this has on patient flow.
In primary care, one step further on from general practice is the primary care psychologist’s practice. From 2010 on, NIVEL hopes to have nationwide data at its disposal, registered by primary care psychologists in the so-called LVE (the Dutch Association of Primary Care psychologists) code book; this way NIVEL hopes to gain an understanding of the characteristics of people who seek them out, of the problems a primary care psychologist treats for and the methods they use to solve these problems. In the long run NIVEL also hopes to be able to analyse the effects of the primary care psychologists’ interventions, as soon as uniform outcome measurements – currently the subject of research – are added.

Galaxy nails are a pretty essential staple in any nail artist's lexicon. They're relatively easy, and the result is really impressive and pretty hard to mess up. I'm really happy about this, because I love that it's a style that's accessible and fun to do. But the downside is, how do you do a fresh take? There are unlimited ways you can mash together different colors and nebula patterns, but after a while they all start to look the same. I thought of maybe doing a pastel galaxy, which I thiiiiiink was fist thought up by The Nailsaurus, but even that's gotten pretty popular. I'll still probably do it at some point (nothing wrong with doing a well loved style), but here I wanted to stand out. I decided to go with red galaxies, since I don't recall seeing any like that around. Of course, the nail art world is HUGE, so someone has probably done this before somewhere, but at least it's fairly unusual!
I took a ridiculous number of photos of this mani, but I also started preparing this post late at night, and I so don't have the energy to crop and watermark and edit a bajillion photos, so I'm just posting the ones I did before I burnt out. I did try a matte topcoat, and I edited one of those photos too, but in the end I think I like it better in the original glossy finish.
I ended up using entirely Ga-de polishes for this manicure, not sure how that happened!
Ga-de- Black Ruby (base color)
Ga-de- Whitest White (nebula base)
Ga-de- Shanghai Chic (red accents)
Ga-de- Orange Poppy (lighter orange accents)

It booted up fine and I used the Tor Browser for several hours with no problem. But, after closing Tails and trying to reboot the computer again into Tails, the computer booted instead into Windows. When I tried again, using the F12 key to pull up the boot menu, the menu showed no bootable USB drive. When I looked at the drive in another computer running Puppy Linux, the disk manager program (I forget the name of it) showed the partition seemingly intact with the "boot" option still checked.
I then did the whole process again with exactly the same results: first time fine, but not able to boot up on subsequent tries.

The Coweta Safety Council will tackle a delicate issue at its next meeting involving child sexual abuse.
The group will host the Stewards of Children “Darkness to Light” program. The presentation features people who are survivors of sexual abuse as a child.
According to the Darkness to Light website, one in ten children will experience sexual abuse before their 18th birthday. This means whether you work with youth, are a parent or are simply a member of a community, it is highly likely that someone you know is an abuse victim.
The Darkness to Light program also provides preventative training called the 5 Steps to Protecting Children. Experts who work with children and families and confront abuse on a daily basis will teach sex abuse warning signs and symptoms.
A Darkness to Light coordinator will present participants with a certificate of completion at the end of the training session.
The Darkness to Light program will be presented at the next Coweta County Safety Council meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 14 at 3 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Summit in the Newnan-Delta Community Credit Union building off Highway 34.
Anyone wanting more information can contact the Newnan-Coweta Chamber of Commerce at 770-253-2270.

Assure Positive Outcomes
Making Art on Commission
People often ask artists to produce art on commission. In the great majority of cases, everyone's satisfied with the finished product, but not always. Problems can arise and when they do, knowing how to handle them can prevent major headaches.
The best way to avoid potentially difficult commissions is to spot them in advance and not get involved in the first place. Not everyone is easy to work with; not every artist is compatible with every person who's interested in commissioning them. By paying attention to certain warning signs, you can weed out those individuals who aren't right for you and avoid big problems down the road.
A good way to begin any commission relationship is to invite the collector to your studio. Make sure a representative sampling of your work is on display and let them them take a look around. While they're there, get an idea of how familiar they are with your art. Ask why they've chosen you from among all possible artists. Were they referred? Are they knowledgeable about your work? Have they seen it at galleries or other locations?
Ask the simple but telling question, "Do you like my art?" If you hear any hesitation, you might think twice about going ahead with the project. Some people might turn out to like only one or two pieces of your art, but be indifferent or neutral to the rest. Working under these conditions can be difficult, especially if you have to limit your style to a strict set of preferences.
Ask about the person's collection. Find out whether they've commissioned artworks in the past and if so, how things went. Hopefully they'll have been satisfied on all counts. If their results are mixed, however, think about maybe contacting artists they've commissioned in the past with see what they have to say.
Have them describe their concept of the finished product. Encourage them to elaborate and get a feel for the amount of restrictions you may be subjected to. The more direction they expect from you, the more likely the commission will go well. The more they want to control the show, the more hesitant you should be about taking the job.
Notice any indications that they may be difficult to work with. They might think they know everything, deliberately challenge you, be fussy about details, or come off as disagreeable and argumentative. In any such instance, seriously consider politely declining the job and moving on to the next commission. Little problems now often become big problems later.
Make sure you only have one person to please. If they expect their family, Aunt Mary, and the gardener to contribute their ongoing feedback every few days, this could mean a rough road ahead. Ask questions about where the piece will be displayed or who the primary viewers will be and find out whether any third party opinions could present problems during the course of the job. The more third parties are involved, the less you should consider going ahead with the commission.
Watch out for people with impossible deadlines. Either they want it done immediately or they have a schedule that you're required to follow regardless of what else is going on in your life. You want to work at your own pace rather than that of the client in order to do your best job. If they can't understand that, decline the offer. At the same time, you should be able to provide a reasonable estimate of how long the commission will take to complete.
Being asked to compromise your artistic integrity can sometimes become a problem if you are being asked to make significant departures from the types of art you normally produce. Don't be too much of a stickler if requests are minor, but at the same time, make sure you're completely comfortable with what you're being asked to do. If you're not, refusing the job might be your best option. The more insistant you are about how you create your art and what the finished works look like, the more you should avoid situations where others appear to want significant control over the outcomes. If you're an artist who wants to be in complete control at all times, perhaps think about not taking work on commission at all.
Encourage the individual to communicate with you, to make them feel like they're part of the process. This helps alleviate fears and apprehensions on their part. Those who feel like they have a vested interest in the finished product tend to give you more latitude in its creation. As for your end, being flexible, working through differences, and keeping your composure in critical situations, increases the probability of a favorable outcome.
Regarding dollars and cents, require a percentage of your fee in advance as a non-refundable deposit. A third of the total price is average; some artists take as much as half. The actual contract should be written unless you well you know the client really well and have worked with them before. But even so, a written contract or agreement is always best. Whatever you do, make sure they understand that the deposit is non-refundable. Explain that in the highly unlikely event of their dissatisfaction, you will have still committed significant time, labor and materials, and have made all reasonable efforts to create a finished product to their liking.
Once you take the job, require the individual to visit or otherwise communicate with you at least once and preferably two or three times during the process of creating the art in order to inspect the work in progress (firsthand or with images) and either approve or make suggestions. Ask for detailed feedback. This way, you won't go off in a direction they weren't prepared for and you won't have to make massive modifications to a finished piece.
Ultimately, the amount of discomfort you're willing to endure when working on commission is up to you. Depending on how badly you need money, you may decide to take on a problem client. Or perhaps you don't mind difficult people and feel you can overcome any obstacle. No matter what you decide, understand ahead of time that when you choose to go ahead with an arrangement you don't feel comfortable with, you should be prepared to accept at least half the blame if things don't work out.

(WSPA) – There are dozens of beautiful, scenic trails to hike in the state of South Carolina from the Upstate to the Low Country. Here are ten options for both the most experienced hikers and those just looking for a nice, easy stroll.
Included with the following trails will be their difficulty level ranging from easy to moderate to hard based on the criteria established on alltrails.com. Distances are approximations and may vary.
Now let’s check out some of the best hiking spots in South Carolina!
Riverwalk Greenway Trail (4.6 miles)
Location: Rock Hill, S.C.
This paved trail runs along the Catawba River and provides an easy hike for all skill levels, though there are some points that are slightly uphill and downhill. Great for visitors looking to enjoy a scenic route along the river. A part of the city’s Greenway and Trail system, this path also includes several benches to serve as rest stops, and local restaurants easily accessible from the trail.
Sullivan’s Island Nature Trail (.6 miles)
Location: Sullivan’s Island, S.C.
Bird-watchers and fans of wild flowers gather! The Sullivan’s Island Nature Trail crosses protected land, featuring plenty of wildlife and unique flowers, and ends with access to the beachfront. This short and relatively flat trail is perfect for those looking for a peaceful walk to study nature. It also includes observation decks and convenient parking at the trail entrance.
Palmetto Trail (500 miles)
Difficulty: Easy to Hard
For those looking for a challenge, the complete 500-mile project running from the Ross Mountain Passage to the Awendaw Passage can be traveled in roughly one month. But for those wanting a day-trip or a quick trip, don’t worry as there are 31 passages along the route and each can be traveled independently. The project has finished about 350 miles of connected passages. The remaining 150-miles of trails can still be hiked on their own, though connecting to the rest can prove to be a bit difficult. The Palmetto Trail crosses just about every type of terrain imaginable. From the Blue Ridge Mountains to more flat trails in the Midlands and even hikes along the southeastern coast of the state, there is a path to appease all hikers/bicyclists etc. The project was started by the Palmetto Conservation in 1994. Since then, several hikers have completed the full trek.
Issaqueena Falls Trail (.3 miles)
Location: Walhalla, S.C.
Issaqueena Falls is a must-see spectacle in the Upstate. The trail is a quick, easy hike culminating in a 100-foot waterfall reveal along Cane Creek. The Issaqueena Falls Trail is perfect for the family and you can bring your dogs as long as they’re on a leash.
Table Rock Ridge Trail (10.7 miles)
Location: Table Rock State Park (Cleveland, S.C.)
The Table Rock Ridge Trail is a looping trail that is accessed via the Pinnacle Mountain Trail. The Pinnacle Overlook is a highly recommended scene as part of the path that also includes a waterfall and some difficult terrain. The hike also incorporates the Table Rock Trail, which leads to the top of Table Rock Mountain, which offers spectacular views. This hike is full of boulders, uneven rock stairs and is one of the more challenging ones in the state. Several reviewers described the trail as being “strenuous.” Parking is located at the Nature Center right by the trailhead.
King Creek Falls Trail (1.4 miles)
Location: Mountain Rest, S.C.
This out and back trail located in the Sumter National Forest district near the S.C./Georgia border culminates with a 70-foot waterfall, where one can kick back and relax. This hike is relatively easy, though the final stretch may prove to be closer to the moderate level of difficulty. Regardless, the hike can be accomplished within a half hour and is good for almost all skill levels.
Saluda Riverwalk (4.5 miles)
Location: Columbia, S.C.
Just recently opened, the Saluda Riverwalk is a lengthy, but relatively easy trail that’s accommodating to all skill levels. Along the trail you’ll find several options for activities including paddle boarding, fishing and many more. It’s also great for an outdoor lunch as the path includes picnic tables and seating. A hot spot in Columbia, this paved trail also includes wooden boardwalks and is good for stroller, or wheelchair use as well. The Saluda Riverwalk is perfect for those wanting a quick hike or a lengthy, scenic trip.
Sulphur Springs Trail (4.5 miles)
Location: Paris Mountain State Park (Greenville, S.C.)
The Sulphur Springs Trail is among the most popular in Paris Mountain State Park and sees some of the most traffic among trails in the Upstate. It’s a looping trail within the mountains that features some narrow, steep and rocky terrain. It’s recommended to go clockwise along the trail as counter-clockwise presents much more of a challenge. If you’re looking for a decent challenge in the forest, this is the trail for you.
Pinckney Island Ride Trail (4.1 miles)
Location: Hilton Head Island, S.C.
A popular trail in Hilton Head Island, the Pinckney Island Ride Trail offers plenty of great views for those looking to snap photographs along their hike. The gravel, grass and dirt paved trail is a one-way path featuring a variety of wildlife and bodies of water (creeks/lakes). The fall is the perfect time to make the journey, avoiding some of the more humid months.
Rainbow Falls Trail (4.4 miles)
Location: Jones Gap State Park
The highlight of the Rainbow Falls Trail is, predictably, the spectacular waterfall that runs down an eye-catching granite cliff. The round-trip trail features a considerable elevation of over one thousand feet. The pathway features long stretches of narrow paths, bridges, and rock stairs making for a well-rounded hike that approaches five miles. This doesn’t require the most experienced hikers, but beginners may struggle with some of the rough terrain.
