Data security threats from malicious insiders have already been recognised as a big problem for businesses – but an IBM Australia-built proof of concept could go a long way towards solving it with an artificial intelligence (AI) based solution that can spot disgruntled workers before they have acted.
The tool grew out of an AI-themed internal hackathon run at IBM’s Gold Coast-based Australian Security Development Lab, where developers are encouraged to come up with novel solutions.
A team of IBM Security engineers realised that businesses are collecting masses of data about network performance and user behaviour, QRadar flows product owner Holly Wright told CSO Australia, and set about looking for ways this information could be meaningfully paired with other data and analysed to give greater insight about users’ state of mind.
“QRadar gives us deep visibility into the messages, views and emails going across the network,” explained Wright, who shared details of the project with attendees at AISA's recent Australian Cyber Conference.
“We decided to look at users from a risk perspective. We’re essentially leveraging that information that’s on the network, that nobody has really done anything with.”
The tool leaned on tools like QRadar SIEM to collect operational data and QRadar Network Insights for deep packet inspection, then tapped into IBM’s evolving Watson set of AI-based services – which includes the likes of Personality Insights to comb the data for particular trigger words and semantic innuendo, and Watson Tone Analyzer to evaluate emotional tones in written text.
By collecting email traffic as it traverses the network and feeding it into the AI engine, the solution is able to derive a risk score for each employee that changes based on the content and semantic tone of their writing.
Once scores go above or below set thresholds, alarms can be raised to escalate the situation to a human analyst for potential follow-up or restriction of data privileges.
“If someone is writing a bunch of angry messages and downloading a bunch of files, we can pick up on it,” Wright explained. “That’s a massively common type of insider threat attack, and this gives you that visibility into what the content is without having to read every email.”
Additional modules enable scanning of Facebook and other social-media posts, providing even more insight into a particular employee’s state of mind.
User and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA) tools have become increasingly common as businesses search for ways to rein in employee behaviour that can turn malicious with little warning. UEBA capabilities are increasingly being integrated with SIEM systems, Gartner has flagged, with Ai and machine learning techniques providing seamless analysis of user activities.
Fully 34 percent of breaches analysed in Verizon’s 2019 data breach investigations report (DBIR) involved internal actors, with misuse by authorised users implicated in 15 percent of cases.
Healthcare organisations and educational institutions were hit particularly hard by internal actors, with 59 percent and 45 percent of threat actors, respectively, classified as internal.
“With internal actors, the main problem is that they have already been granted access to your systems in order to do their jobs,” the report’s authors note. “Effectively monitoring and flagging unusual and/or inappropriate access to data that is not necessary for valid business use… is a matter of real concern.”
“Across all industries, internal actor breaches have been more difficult to detect than do those breaches involving external actors.”
Availability of continuously-updated risk scores also provides another tool for human resources managers wanting to identify employees that may be in need of recognition or extra support.
Yet application of the techniques is most obviously promising in helping resolve visibility issues around potential or ongoing insider cybersecurity threats.
“It brings down the time to detect when something is going wrong,” Wright said, “so you can respond to it before it gets worse.”


Matt Targett has signed a contract extension with Aston Villa lasting until 2025.
The left-back has put pen to paper on an extended deal having enjoyed an impressive Premier League season for Dean Smith’s side.
Having arrived from Southampton as part of an overhaul of Villa’s squad after promotion, Targett battled Neil Taylor for a place in Smith’s side last season but moved ahead of the Wales international to make the position his own.
He is one of only three players to appear in all 32 of Villa’s Premier League matches so far this season - the others being goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez and striker Ollie Watkins.
Targett has played a vital role in Villa’s vast improvement in defence with only Manchester City and Chelsea registering more clean sheets.
Villa are keen to tie key players down to longer contracts and Targett follows a number of his teammates in agreeing new deals over the course of the season.
Defensive partners Ezri Konsa and Tyrone Mings, captain Jack Grealish and midfielder John McGinn have all done so already.
The deals for Konsa, Grealish and McGinn were all extended until 2025 while Mings is now secured until 2024.

The news delighted Villa fans on social media, with one saying: “Fantastic transformation, now one of the first names on the team sheet, thoroughly deserved.”
“Brilliant news, one of our best players this season,” added another.
A third fan beamed: “Great news, been our most improved player this season by far. Different class.”
“Fantastic news,” said a fourth. “Arguably player of the season”.
While a fifth added: “So good to see us developing players and growing with us. Been years since we did that! The improvement in Targett has been amazing and is now a leading English left-back.”

About a Girl follows one young man’s journey of self-discovery while growing up in California in the 90’s as he navigates love, friendship and betrayal. What was the inspiration for the setup to your story?
The inspiration for About a Girl was based on my own experience in high school.
Will is a compelling character. What were some driving ideals behind his character’s development?
I wanted Will to represent the average teenager in the 1990’s. I also wanted the reader to see Will’s motivation with numerous flashbacks.
What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?
Trust, loyalty, friendship, and forgiveness.
What is the next book that you are working on and when will it be available?
I’m currently writing Hannah, (working title) a hybrid prequel/sequel to About a Girl told from Hannah’s point of view. It will be available in the summer of 2023.

3-Year-Old Prodigy Begs Mom For Violin, Then Steps In Front Of Thousands And Stuns Everybody!
I don’t know if I’m more impressed with this boy’s violin skills, his ability to connect with his audience or that awesome trick with water, but one thing is for sure, this 3 year old is incredible.
Akim Camara started playing the violin since he was 2 and by the age of three he was known as a violin child prodigy all over the world. More than just his playing and the ability to memorize entire musical pieces, there’s innocence about him that make the audience love him. This is him performing for thousands of people back in 2004 at Parkstad Stadium, Netherlands. Just watch the crowd’s reactions.

Prep. time: 1 hour, 10 minutes (hour is for the marinade)
Cooking time: 30 minutes
For the chicken:
- 2-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I only used two; my mom and I split one and my dad ate the other)
- 2 tablespoons of chopped, fresh rosemary
- 1/4 cup of dry white wine or vermouth (I used vermouth)
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 and 3/4 cups of fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of berry jam (I used strawberry-rhubarb jam)
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 1/2 lb. of polenta (I used an instant polenta mix. It tastes just fine and it's easy to make)
- 4 cups of chicken broth (instant polenta usually says to use water, but chicken broth gives it better flavor)
- A dash of salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons of fresh rosemary (I also sprinkled in a little dried rosemary at the last minute because it has a stronger flavor)
Place the chicken breasts in a bowl. Add the wine/vermouth, olive oil, rosemary, and pepper to the bowl. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator to marinate for approx. 1 hour.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and set aside, reserving the marinade. To make the sauce, pour the marinade into a sauce pan and add the berries. Simmer gently until the berries are soft. Press the mixture through a strainer and discard the berry pulp. Return the mixture to the sauce pan and add the vinegar, jam, and nutmeg and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, until it's reached a syrup-like consistency.To keep it warm, place it over the lowest heat, uncovered.
In the meantime, heat oil in a sauce pan and saute the chicken until both sides are golden brown and the insides are no longer pink. In a pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil and follow the directions on the polenta box (slowly whisk in polenta and continue to whisk until the mixture thickens and easily pulls away from the sides of the pot). Add in the fresh rosemary and sprinkle in salt and pepper, to taste.
Plate the chicken and polenta and spoon the berry sauce over each.
This recipe was delicious and perfect for warm summer weather! The blueberry sauce was sweet and tangy, and the rosemary in both the chicken and polenta brought the two together. A vegetable would be a great addition to the dish—asparagus would work very well. All in all, a delicious dish! I know that sweet berries in a savory dish might seem a little odd, but it's a wonderful combination. And for me, it was a step away from pasta, marinara, and parmesan cheese.

21st Amendment Distillery has found its official home in Historic Downtown Vero Beach.
The 5,000± sq ft space at 2055 13th Ave, directly across from the downtown post office, was, in recent years, utilized as warehouse and is undergoing extensive renovations to house the new distillery. The 21AD master plan includes a full bar, private tasting room, outdoor seating including smoking and non-smoking areas and a large cigar humidor as well as the featured equipment of any distillery: the stills, where whiskey and other spirits will be heated, condensed and collected to craft it into the finished product guests will enjoy.
“We’re thrilled to have a home,” said Jeff Palleschi, owner and founder of 21st Amendment Distillery. “It was a challenge to find a place that was big enough to hold all of our equipment – we looked all over town, and thankfully, this space came open at just the right time. The downtown location is better than we ever hoped for.”
Founded with the intention to celebrate quality hand-crafted spirits and American perseverance, the distillery will specialize in craft whiskey. It will also produce bourbon, vodka, gin, rum, agave (tequila), and a citrus-themed cello series using local citrus. In addition to selling and distributing spirits, Palleschi’s team will offer tours providing a first-hand look at the distillation process.
This is not the first time the new 21AD building will bring the first business of its kind to Vero Beach – the building was home to the city’s first grocery store in the 1940s. What was once a walk-in cooler will become the private tasting room at 21st Amendment Distillery.
21st Amendment Distillery is set to open in late 2022.

Formality at Work
Since the near collapse of the financial markets and their institutes in 2008, a cry for "more regulation" and "closer control" resounded in the media as well as in political and academic comments. The regulation of financial markets seems to have failed. Against this background the study brings a somehow different view by investigating how formality itself - i.e. rules, regulation, procedures, standards and the like - is enacted and made sense of within the organizational context of one medium sized Swiss bank. It provides thus a chance to situate and confront the current public discourse with the varied, discursive repertoire that can be traced within one banking system. Rather than to argue for "more or less", the study draws attention to the social-discursive processes in/through which practices of formality are embedded and enacted. Besides the "practical" relevance of this study, the author engages with theoretical relevance as he elaborates a more recent, conceptual approach which follows the so-called practice turn in organization studies, and contributes with a theoretical model that explains how various discursive understandings of formality can be integrated around the dimensions of “flexibility” and “capacity”.

Baltic Birch plywood may be better as it cuts cleanly (as long as you use a downcut bit), is hard, has 2x as many plies as ordinary plywood (i.e. is strong) and looks beautiful. Home Depot and Lowes do not carry Baltic Birch plywood. It may say Birch, but it is not Baltic Birch, or even if it says Baltic Birch, it will not be. True Baltic Birch plywood comes in 5'x5' sheets.

General Manager Joshua Midgett Departs CATF
While reminiscing on his time in Shepherdstown, Contemporary American Theater Festival (CATF) General Manager Joshua Midgett professes "I will fondly remember the talented artists, leaders, and friends I've had the chance to work with while living and working in the eastern panhandle."
This statement comes as Midgett prepares to depart the CATF, a nationally known professional theater dedicated to producing and developing new American plays, housed at Shepherd University. As of October 1, he will step down from his current position, which he has held since 2015, to continue his career as the managing director of Alaska's state theater, Perseverance Theatre. This transition is a homecoming for Midgett, as he grew up in Alaska.
Midgett remarks the experience, knowledge, and opportunities he gained at CATF prepared him for his next set of challenges. "While I am sad to be leaving the Shepherdstown family and CATF community, I am excited to return to Alaska and use the tools I've acquired at the Festival to face the numerous challenges and opportunities that await me at Perseverance Theatre."
With Perseverance Theatre's newly created managing director position, Midgett will assume the theater's financial management responsibilities and compliment Art Rotch, the theater's artistic director. Midgett's strategies for strengthening and maintaining the success and financial health of Perseverance include increasing the theater's audience base, reconnecting with community partners, and bolstering contributed income from individual donors.
Ed Herendeen, founder and producing director of the Contemporary American Theater Festival shares he is "so proud of and thankful for the work that Joshua has contributed to this Festival. Over his past four seasons, the Festival has expanded and continued its prominence in the new play industry. Joshua and his ability to think critically and creatively have certainly contributed to the Festival's growth and high profile."
During his time in West Virginia, Midgett has been instrumental in CATF's financial management, contributing to the success of several record-breaking seasons for the new play festival. Midgett has also assisted with the Festival's daily operations, strategic planning, the Festival's growth from five to six plays, and was vital in creating a healthy cash reserve.
Combing his passion and expertise in both financial and performing arts management, Midgett oversaw the CATF's economic impact study. The findings of this study will be released in early 2019 and will demonstrate the direct and indirect fiscal impact experienced by Jefferson County and area businesses as a result of the annual summer theater festival.
When Midgett came on board as CATF's general manager, he became a known community entity by becoming an active member of the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce board, directing several productions for Shepherd University's Department of Contemporary Art & Theater, and graduating from Leadership Jefferson.
Herendeen has "no doubt that Mr. Midgett's talents will thrive at Perseverance. The entire CATF company and I wish him well on his next adventure and look forward to seeing the extraordinary work he will do at Perseverance."
Housed at Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, the Contemporary American Theater Festival (CATF) is dedicated to producing and developing new American theater. Since its founding in 1991 by Ed Herendeen, the Festival has produced 127 new plays, including 52 world premieres and 10 commissions. Each summer, CATF produces six new plays in rotating repertory throughout the month of July. Plays originally produced at the nationally recognized festival have gone onto have robust lives in regional theaters across the country, Off-Broadway, Broadway, and have been adapted into films. CATF is regularly praised in publications such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and American Theatre. For more information, visit the Festival online at catf.org.

NOT FOR PUBLICATION WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF THE APPELLATE DIVISION
Argued February 26, 2013
On appeal from Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Morris County, Docket No. SC-1336-11.
Allen Hantman argued the cause for appellant (Morris & Hantman, attorneys; Mr. Hantman, on the brief).
Kirk Ejdys, respondent, argued the cause pro se.
Before Judges Lihotz and Kennedy.
Defendant appeals from the denial by the Special Civil Part of its motion to vacate default judgment. We agree and reverse the February 8, 2012 order.
On November 27, 2011, plaintiff filed a complaint against defendant, the estate of John Herrsche, asserting that defendant "unlawfully withheld" $1295 of plaintiff's $1600 security deposit at the conclusion of a residential lease. The complaint was served upon Jennie Mathesius, the administrator of the defendant estate, and the trial date set forth in the summons was December 22, 2011.
On December 21, Mathesius wrote to the court for an adjournment, stating that her husband had recently died, and she had contracted the flu. She added that she had counsel, and "proof" that plaintiff had damaged the apartment and had received back the balance of his security deposit, after the damages were subtracted from the sum otherwise due. The adjournment was granted.
Apparently, the Special Civil Part set a new trial date for January 5, 2012, and mailed notice to the parties. On that date, no one appeared on behalf of defendant. Consequently, the trial court entered default judgment against defendant for twice the amount "wrongfully withheld" and costs for a total of $2612.
The judgment recites, in part, that, "[s]ufficient proofs [were] submitted under oath by plaintiff. [He] testified that defendant's spouse [was] not in military service."
On January 18, defendant, represented by counsel, filed a motion to vacate the default judgment. The motion was supported by a certification from Mathesius, stating she was never informed "either by telephone or in writing" of the new trial date, and that trial was apparently held on January 5 "without notice" to her. She also stated in her certification that she had a "valid defense" and had returned the security deposit to plaintiff, after subtracting money for the "damages [he] caused" to the apartment.
On February 8, the court denied the motion. On the order, the motion judge wrote "this motion ...

Grass House are a ragtag four-piece with music to match: while excavating the sound of late 60s California, they throw in a fistful of old fashioned American folk with a measure of British indie swagger and switch the button to blitz.
We first started writing about the band last autumn, when they were picked to play at the PRS for Music Almost Famous showcase. They had just released their debut single The Boredom Rose and began popping up on blogs like The Line of Best Fit and Silent Radio, who all dug their take on classic folk and psychedelia.
2013 promises to be a bigger year for them, with a new single slated for February and a debut album expected too.
We caught up with them after their performance at Almost Famous to find out what makes them tick. They tell us why their band name may have pretentious origins – being derived from the Japanese artform Wabi-Sabi – and explain how their sound is constantly evolving.

For most people, the cancer experience doesn’t end on the last day of treatment. Life after pancreatic cancer treatment has its own challenges. You may have mixed feelings when treatment ends, and worry if every ache and pain means the cancer is coming back.
Some people say that they feel pressure to return to ‘normal life’, but they don’t want life to return to how it was before cancer. Take some time to adjust to the physical and emotional changes, and re‑establish a new daily routine at your own pace.
Cancer Council 13 11 20 can help you connect with other people who have had cancer, and provide you with information about the emotional and practical aspects of living well after cancer.
|Learn more about staying healthy after cancer treatment, and how cancer may affect your relationships, sexuality and fertility.|

After your treatment, you will need regular check-ups to confirm that the cancer hasn’t come back.
Check-ups will become less frequent if you have no further problems. Between follow-up appointments, let your doctor know immediately of any health problems.
Dealing with feelings of sadness
If you have continued feelings of sadness, have trouble getting up in the morning or have lost motivation to do things that previously gave you pleasure, you may be experiencing depression. This is quite common among people who have had cancer.
Talk to your GP, as counselling or medication – even for a short time – may help. Some people are able to get a Medicare rebate for sessions with a psychologist. Ask your doctor if you are eligible. Call Cancer Council 13 11 20 to ask about counselling programs.

Beyonce who is the first female headliner in the history of the Glastonbury festival, brought down the house Sunday night, wowing a screaming audience of 170,000+ fans. The bright lights of what is considered by some to be the biggest music festival in the world were no match for the singer, as she ran through some of her biggest hits, opening with "Crazy Like That" before moving on to songs like "Single Ladies," "Irreplaceable," and a medley of Destiny's Child favorites, including "Survivor" and "Say My Name."
She also sang her new single, "1+1," as well as "At Last," the song she sang during President Obama's inauguration in 2009. That performance came with a special civil rights-themed video montage -- which included video of that very inauguration.

The great thing about this recipe is that you can adjust it to match your taste preferences. I’ve intentionally designed this recipe to be flexible, so you can make it as mild or fiery as you like. To achieve a noticeable but not too intense heat, go for red chili powder and flakes like cayenne. If you choose cayenne, your syrup will have a distinct spiciness that won’t overwhelm your palate.
If you’re in the mood for a more robust kick, experimenting with habanero or ghost peppers is the way to go. These options will bring the extra heat you’re seeking and a subtle fruitiness, giving your maple syrup creation that satisfying spicy edge.
Store-bought vs. homemade spicy maple syrup
When it comes to spicy maple syrup, you can choose between store-bought options and crafting your own at home. The convenience of purchasing pre-made spicy maple syrups from the market is undeniable, offering a quick solution if you’re not inclined to make it yourself.
However, opting for a homemade version has its merits, particularly when it comes to ingredient control. Crafting your own syrup allows you to ensure the quality of the maple component (opting for real maple over “flavored” varieties). It allows you to fine-tune the heat level by adjusting the amount and type of chili. This way, you can tailor your spicy maple syrup to your precise liking, creating a flavorful experience that truly hits the mark.
What to use spiced maple syrup on
Spiced maple syrup finds its place as a delightful addition to an array of sweet-meets-savory dishes. A classic illustration of this pairing is the beloved chicken and waffles; however, you can elevate your culinary experience by indulging in a fusion like fried lobster and waffles. Beyond the conventional, spiced maple syrup also offers its charm to vegetables. Coat roasted carrots and sweet potatoes with this syrup to accentuate their inherent sweetness in a uniquely savory way.
Further, this versatile syrup lends itself to crafting an irresistible spicy maple glaze, ideal for drizzling over maple and bacon donuts. In essence, the possibilities are boundless. Whether you aim to enhance meats, add a twist to veggies, or create an unexpected yet delightful dessert, this recipe is your culinary ally. Anytime you seek to harmonize the worlds of sweet and savory, this spiced maple syrup stands ready to elevate your dish into a truly remarkable taste experience.
Does hot sauce go well with maple syrup?
You might wonder if hot sauce and maple syrup make a good team. Some recipes even call for combining sriracha with maple syrup for a unique twist. However, it’s essential to choose the right hot sauce. I suggest avoiding those with a strong garlic taste that might not blend well (unless garlic is a key savory element in your dish). Many hot sauces also have a tangy vinegar flavor, which can overshadow maple syrup’s gentle sweetness.
Consider alternatives like chili flakes, chili powder, or fresh chopped chili peppers for a more balanced spicy maple syrup. These options provide the desired spiciness without conflicting with the overall taste. By making a thoughtful choice, you can ensure that the warmth of the spices complements the soothing sweetness of maple syrup, resulting in a harmonious and enjoyable flavor experience.

Los Amigos Invisibles
José Rafael Torres
Juan Manuel Roura
|Past members||Armando Figueredo|
Los Amigos Invisibles (Spanish for "The Invisible Friends") is a Venezuelan band which plays a blend of disco, acid jazz and funk mixed with Latin rhythms. In addition to releasing eleven critically acclaimed albums, the band have been lauded internationally for their explosive, live shows, spanning nearly 60 countries. They are considered the Venezuelan band with the greatest international recognition.
In 1995, EMI released their debut album, A Typical and Autoctonal Venezuelan Dance Band, which was a huge success in their home country, enabling them to sell out clubs around Caracas for the next couple of years. In 1996, David Byrne's Luaka Bop record label signed the group after discovering a CD they had planted in a New York City record store. Shortly thereafter, they went into the studio to work on their sophomore record, The New Sound of the Venezuelan Gozadera, which was released in 1998. Two years later and under the direction of famed producer Philip Steir, they released Arepa 3000: A Venezuelan Journey into Space, which received a Grammy nomination in the category of "Best Latin Alternative Album" and a Latin Grammy in the category of "Best Rock Album." Following the success of this release, the band relocated to New York City and began work on The Venezuelan Zinga Son, Vol. 1, produced by "Little" Louie Vega of Masters at Work. Initially, the album was released in the UK and Japan through Long Lost Brothers Records, although a year later Luaka Bop released the album in the US, resulting in another Latin Grammy nomination in the category of "Best Alternative Latin Album."
After ending their recording contract with Luaka Bop, Los Amigos Invisibles started their own label, Gozadera Records. The first release, Chill Out Venezuela, was a multiple-genre collection of Venezuelan artists, produced by Los Amigos Invisibles. For Gozadera's next release and the band's fifth studio album, they enlisted Dimitri from Paris to produce a collection of Venezuelan cover songs entitled, Super Pop Venezuela, which was initially offered in their native country only. In 2006, the album was released in the US, landing the band another Grammy nomination, in the category of "Best Urban Latin Alternative Album."
After three more years, Los Amigos Invisibles released their album, Commercial, in a joint production between Gozadera Records and Nacional Records. In an interview with America's National Public Radio, the band explained that the change in style was not by accident, nor was the decision to name the latest project Commercial. Rather, it was a tongue-in-cheek reference to band's former musical self. The release was a hit in Venezuela, debuting at #1 on the music charts. During the week of July 7, 2009, their song, "Vivire Para Ti" featuring Natalia Lafourcade, was offered as Single of the Week in the iTunes music store and in November 2009, Commercial won the Latin Grammy in the category of Best Alternative Music Album.
Following their Grammy win, 2010 saw festival appearances and shows throughout the United States, Latin America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
In 2011, the band released Not So Commercial, an EP of outtakes from the Commercial album. This album was a nominee for the Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop, Rock or Urban Album in 2012.
In April 2013, Repeat After Me was released. This album received a Grammy nomination in the category of "Best Latin Alternative Album" and a Latin Grammy in the categories of "Best Alternative Album", "Song of the year" and "Best Cover".
In 2014, the band were named Pop Artist of the Year at the Pepsi Venezuela Music Awards. That year, keyboardist Armando Figueredo and guitarist José Luis Pardo (Cheo) left the band. Both were original members.
In 2015, the band released Acústico, a compilation of their greatest hits played in an acoustic style.
2017 saw the release of the album El Paradise. This was followed by a concert tour in the United States.
In 2019 they won a Latin Grammy Award again, this time in the category "Best Alternative Song" with the song "Tócamela".

Roseville City Council Chooses New City Manager
Rosevile, CA- The Roseville City Council announced it has selected Dominick Casey to be Roseville’s next City Manager, following a competitive search. Casey has been serving as Acting City Manager since April 15, following the announcement of former City Manager Rob Jensen’s retirement.
“Dom impressed the Council with his leadership, vision, energy, and commitment to our community for the long term,” said Roseville Mayor Susan Rohan. “He’s successfully handled the kind of tough issues in an acting city manager role that usually come up just a few times in most city manager’s careers.”
Director of Parks & Rec
In 2016, Casey was appointed as assistant city manager, overseeing police, fire, public works, parks, recreation, and libraries, and central services. He moved to Roseville in 2011 when he was hired as Roseville’s director of parks, recreation and libraries, after 10 years in various management positions at the City of Henderson, Nevada.
Casey is a graduate of Northern Arizona University and received a master’s degree in management from Chadron State College. Casey lives in Roseville with his wife and four children.
“But as we plan for our future, I recognize we’re in the midst of a world that is changing profoundly and rapidly. That’s why I’m looking forward to working with the Council and the community to create a new vision-one that will best position our city both to withstand and to thrive during these changing times, laying a strong foundation for our future.”Dominick Casey
As City Manager, Casey will continue to oversee a citywide budget of half a billion dollars, including a general fund budget of $139 million, along with 1,060 employees and 14 departments. Roseville is one of California’s few full-service cities, which owns its own electric, water, wastewater and solid waste utilities, along with providing police, fire, public works, development, and parks, recreation and library services.
Being a full-service city is an important draw for business attraction and retention since it allows Roseville to have streamlined control of all the community’s key public services. This has earned Roseville a reputation as a business-friendly city with a high standards for its municipal services and quality of life.
Consistent with City policy, the Council anticipates a starting salary in the median range for city managers even though the size of Roseville’s budget, staff, and range of municipal services are much greater than most California cities. Contract terms are being finalized and will be considered at the August 15 council meeting. After approval of the contract, Casey will officially assume his new title.

Chelsea FC have won the UEFA Champions League once on May 19, 2012, although they have had better chances to win it. They were a penalty away from winning the cup in 2008, but John Terry had slipped in his run-up to the ball, and their chance to grab the trophy that night was gone. They had another chance the following year, as they looked as if they had defeated Barcelona in the semi finals, but a series of penalty claims being turned down, and a last minute goal by Andres Iniesta meant that Barcelona went on to the finals on away goals. Chelsea were well on their way out of the competition in numerous occasions, but they have defeated the odds in the 2011/12 season.
Their last 16 draw against Napoli had a bad start, as they suffered an away first-leg defeat. In the second leg, theyfoughtback into the competition with a 4-1 score after extra time. They went through with a 4-3 aggregate score.
Their quarter final draw against Benfica was also a close encounter, as they went into the second leg with a 1-0 aggregate lead. Benfica worked hard for a comeback, but a late goal by Raul Meireles had undone their efforts. Chelsea went through to the semi-finals with a 3-1 aggregate victory.
Chelsea went into the semi finals as underdogs, as the reigning champions at the time aimed to win the champions league in a second successive season. Chelsea defended well in the first leg, and a goal by Didier Drogba meant they had a 1-0 aggregate lead against the favourites going into the second leg. Two early goals by Sergio Busquets and Andres Iniesta, and a red card to John Terry left Chelsea's chances to progress hanging by a thread. Right before halftime, Frank Lampard spotted a run by Ramires, who made no mistake as he chipped his shot over the goalkeeper, and into the net. Chelsea were now leading by away goals, but a goal by Barcelona could have turned it all around. In the last few minutes of the match, a clearance by Ashley Cole found Fernando Torres in acres of space, who punished Barcelona for pushing forward into the opposing half, with a goal that sealed the victory for Chelsea.
Chelsea were even more unlikely to win in the final, as Bayern Munich became the first club to reach a Champions League Final that was hosted by their own home stadium. Bayern Munich enjoyed most of the possession, but the score was level until the very end of the match. A headed goal by Thomas Muller put Bayern Munich into the lead with just a few minutes left of the match. A late corner won by Torres was the last chance for Chelsea to equalize. Didier Drogba became the hero of the night, as his headed effort flew into the top-right corner of the goal, which sent the match into extra time. A penalty was award to Bayern Munich, but Arjen Robben's effort from the spot was saved by Petr Cech. Both sides were goalless during extra time, which meant the match was to be decided on penalties. Bastian Schweinsteiger's shot was deflected to strike the woodwork, which meant Chelsea would win the competition if they scored the next penalty. Didier Drogba stepped up to the spot, and made no mistake, as he put the perfect end to his Chelsea FC career.
They were the runners-up for the 2007-08 and are favourite to win the 2008-09 competition.
They won on 19th May 2012 in penalty shoot-out against Bayern Munchen
Chelsea won the Champions League in 2012.
The 2012 Champions League will be won by either Bayern or Chelsea. but Chelsea seem to have a higher chance.
Chelsea have failed to win the Champion League title upto this year, even though they have failed they have reached the final many times.
0 times. They have always been in the champions league. But before they were called the Europa league and the campions league Chelsea had won the Europa league equivalent twice.
If Chelsea wins the Champions League, they will automatically be qualified for next year's no matter what their position is at the end of the season, and since the Premier League can only have four teams Newcastle would then not go to the Champions League but the Europa League, everything moving down one.
definetly yess !! If at all they win de champion league .
Chelsea have never auctually won the Eruopean Champions League, however this year 2012 they have reached the finals just like they did 2008 when they lost against Manchester United during the penalty shoot out.
Chelsa won the champions league in 1965 with prepachs free kick.Chelsea also won the Champions League in 2011-12. They were runners-up in the 2007-08 season.Their other European honours are:UEFA Cup Winners' Cup:Winners, 1970-71, 1997-98UEFA Super Cup:Winners, 1998Chelsea has won the Champions league only once. They won it in 2012.

- Gender (in)equality in internet pornography: a content analysis of popular pornographic internet videos

Although Internet pornography is widely consumed and researchers have started to investigate its effects, we still know little about its content. This has resulted in contrasting claims about whether Internet pornography depicts gender (in)equality and whether this depiction differs between amateur and professional pornography. We conducted a content analysis of three main dimensions of gender (in)equality (i.e., objectification, power, and violence) in 400 popular pornographic Internet videos from the most visited pornographic Web sites. Objectification was depicted more often for women through instrumentality, but men were more frequently objectified through dehumanization. Regarding power, men and women did not differ in social or professional status, but men were more often shown as dominant and women as submissive during sexual activities. Except for spanking and gagging, violence occurred rather infrequently. Nonconsensual sex was also relatively rare. Overall, amateur pornography contained more gender inequality at the expense of women than professional pornography did.

Blackstone Group on Tuesday approved to purchase Home Partners of America, which acquires and rents single-family homes, in a $6 billion deal, the private-equity firm said on Tuesday.
Home Partners owns more than 17,000 houses in the United States that it rents out to tenants who are given an option to purchase them eventually.
“The essential premise of the Home Partners platform is to provide residents with the opportunity to live in their chosen home with the option to purchase it,” Jacob Werner, Blackstone real estate senior managing director, said in a statement.
The deal is expected to close in the third quarter, the companies said.
Goldman Sachs and Co LLC was financial adviser to Home Partners, while Sidley Austin LLP and Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP acted as its legal counsel.
BofA Securities and Wells Fargo Securities were financial advisers to Blackstone, while Simpson Thatcher and Bartlett LLP was its legal counsel.

Guys, I have had a keg leak for some time now and am getting rather frustrated. I have replaced just about all of the moving parts on the keg, have sprayed all of the connection areas with Star San and have not been able to discover where the leak is coming from.
A little about my setup, I have a refrigerator in the garage that has both my keg and my CO2 tank inside it. I do not have a temperature controller on the refrigerator (bad on me, I know). I set my regulator to 10 psi and it stayed there for about a week and the CO2 level in my tank remained unchanged. Then it started getting hot outside, in the 90s, and the pressure in my keg shot up to 20 and the CO2 level dropped by nearly half. The temperature has fluctuated here in Alabama from the mid 60s to low 90s from day to night. Could this temperature fluctuation be driving my leak or is it most likely something in my kegging system?


Our stairway to heaven (or how couple built tower to deal with 50ft cliff in garden... and got a view of the river)
When David Spearman bought his new house, he thought the bottom of his garden would be perfect for a vegetable patch.
The only snag was that it happened to be up a sheer 50ft cliff.
Undeterred, he took inspiration from the home improvement shows he loves to watch on TV and built a wooden tower with six flights of stairs to scale the chalk cliff.
Stairway to heaven: David and Moira Spearman have built a 50ft high wooden tower with six flights of stairs to scale the chalk cliff at the end of their garden
The £10,000, 90-step tower, which took six months to build, not only allows the IT worker and his wife Moira to reach the end of their garden, but the top also doubles as a patio with decking, a table, four benches and a superb view of the River Medway.
Even council worker Mrs Spearman, who does not have a head for heights, was impressed.
They moved into the four-bedroom home in Rochester, Kent, three years ago after deciding to downsize when their two grown-up children had flown the nest.
Initially the couple were unhappy that the cliff overshadowed their garden but grandfather of one Mr Spearman, 44, then saw its potential.
The tower cost £10,000 to build and has 90 steps, but offers fine views once you're at the top
Mr Spearman said his neighbours are all friends and don't mind the tower, while one is even likely to copy it
'I thought, all that land up there is being wasted,' he said.
'I could grow my vegetables up there and have a fantastic view while doing it.'
But to get up, he had to use ropes and ladders, and had to abseil down.
He got a local architect to draw up plans for the softwood tower, and planning permission was finally granted after several refusals.
Patio with a view: Mrs Spearman in front of the River Medway
Because he was unemployed over the summer, he was able to help in the construction himself.
His next plan is to build a greenhouse on the land next to the platform and finally create his vegetable patch.
Mr Spearman said his neighbours are all friends and don't mind the tower, while one is even likely to copy it.
'When we tell people we've built a staircase in the garden they say, "Oh, whatever",' he said.
'But when they see the photos it blows them away.'

Police officers deliver baby on side of road
A Vero Beach man who returned to his hometown of Pittsburgh learned he had cancer and only had days to live, so a group of volunteer pilots helped his dying wish come true.
The deadly winter storm system that hit the nation this week showed no sign of relenting on Saturday, as it tracked across the nation, dropping heavy snow and blasting unseasonably cold air into parts of the West and through the Northern Plains.

On the Military diet, you’re meant to follow a structured diet that provides 1,100 to 1,400 calories — men can have 100 more calories than women — per day for three days of the week. The foods you can eat include proteins, fat, dairy, eggs, grains, fruit, vegetables, vanilla ice cream, water and coffee.
How many calories a day do soldiers need
Remember that during periods of high activity such as military training your energy needs will be higher than average. They can reach up to 3500-4000 kcal in Phase 1 training, however once this is finished your energy needs will reduce when you become less active.
How many calories do soldiers have
The military recommends that soldiers eat three MREs a day – the equivalent of 3,777 calories per day. Soldiers need a lot of calories because they exert a lot of energy.
How healthy is the military diet
The 3-Day Military Diet does not adhere to USDA guidelines and it is not considered a healthy eating plan for weight loss or long-term weight management. The eating plan is not recommended by nutrition experts since it could create unhealthy eating habits and lead to unfavorable health outcomes.
How many calories is the 3 day military diet
The military diet requires people to follow a low-calorie diet for 3 days and then return to regular eating for 4 days. Across the first 3 days, the diet restricts daily calorie intake to 1,400, 1,200, and 1,100 calories. The diet is high in protein and low in fat, carbohydrate, and calories.
How hard is the military diet
Takeaway. The 3-day military diet is doable if you’re healthy, need to lose weight quickly, and can stick to a low-calorie count. However, don’t expect any long-term success. The diet is hard to maintain and much of the weight loss is easily regained.
Who needs 1800 to 2400 calories a day
Daily calorie requirements
Most women between the ages of 19–30 require 2,000–2,400 calories per day to maintain their weight. Women between the ages of 31–59 have slightly lower energy needs. Generally, women in this age group should consume 1,800–2,200 calories per day to maintain their body weight.
Is military diet a calorie deficit?
Rather than calories burned, the Military Diet focuses on significant calorie deficits by cutting out the amount and types of food that you eat. The website for the plan recommends consuming between 1,100 and 1,400 calories each day for the first three days of the plan.
How many calories do Navy Seals burn a day
And during first phase, those first three or four weeks of training, you’re burning six to 8,000 calories a day. During Hell Week, you’re burning ten to 12,000 calories a day.
What is the military diet missing?
Lack of Dietary Fiber
Due to the lack of variety in the food permitted on the military diet, the diet may not meet the recommended daily intake of fiber. Dietary fiber is important in reducing the risk of diabetes and coronary heart disease over the long-term.
What is day 2 of the military diet
Day 2 Breakfast – 1 egg (scrambled), 1 slice of toast (whole wheat), and 1/2 banana. Water. 3 Day Military Diet Plan. Day 2 Breakfast – 1 egg (scrambled), 1 slice of toast (whole wheat), and 1/2 banana.
How many calories are in army food
Meal, Ready-to-Eat (MRE)
Issued as a self-contained combat ration, it’s designed for use as a single meal. Each MRE provides about 1,285 calories, including 40 grams protein, 176 grams carbohydrate, and 47 grams fat, meeting or exceeding the nutritional standards for operational rations.
What is soldier diet
The Military Diet is a short-term, calorie-controlled meal plan that claims to help you lose 10 pounds in one week. The diet involves eating a set calorie-restricted menu for three days, followed by four days off the diet, in which you’re advised to eat in moderation or follow a less restrictive, low-calorie meal plan.
Can you fast on the military diet
The diet plan involves a 3-day, calorie-restricted meal plan followed by 4 days off. Followers of the diet are told to repeat the weekly cycle for up to 1 month, or until they reach their goal weight. Because it follows on-and-off calorie restriction, the military diet is a form of intermittent fasting.
Can you live on the military diet
The Bottom Line: Just because you’re losing weight doesn’t mean that you’re healthy—especially on this vague, too-low-calorie diet that has no scientific backing. Even if you can eat pretty much anything you want on the Military Diet, this is no way to live, soldier.
What is the average weight loss on the military diet
While you may lose 10 pounds (4.5 kg) in a week on the military diet, not everyone will. Plus, most of this would be water weight rather than fat, which you’ll regain when you start eating as you normally do.
How many calories do military burn
Created by the Institute of Medicine, it was indicated that military members typically burn around 4,200 calories a day, but tend to only consume around 2,400 calories during combat.
How can I lose weight fast in the military
To lose weight without affecting performance, avoid cutting more than 10–15 percent of the calories from the amount you normally consume. Eating 250 to 500 fewer calories per day will help you achieve a safe and effective weight loss of ½ to 1 pound per week.
Can you repeat the 3 day military diet
The diet itself only lasts for 3 days. After that, switch to a normal, healthy diet for at least 4 days. If you’d like to lose more weight, you can repeat the program as often as you’d like, as long as you take 4-day breaks every time after you do it. Never follow the diet longer than 3 days in a row.
Can you exercise on the 3 day military diet
While the 3-day military diet does not specifically require exercise, they recommend walking 20-30 minutes every day while you’re on the diet. If you already participate in an exercise program before you start the diet, you can keep doing it.
Can you drink unlimited water on military diet?
The second phase of the military diet, lasting four days, drops the prescribed meal plan—you can eat any foods you like—but you must stay at or below a 1,500-calorie daily limit. The military diet allows for unlimited water and herbal tea, as well as two caffeinated beverages (without sweeteners or cream) per day.
Can you survive on 1,200 calories a day
Calorie needs are highly individualized and depend on many factors, including body size, age, and activity levels. A 1,200-calorie diet is inappropriate for most adults, including smaller women.
Will I lose weight if I eat 1200 calories
Most people need significantly more than 1,200 calories a day. Therefore, individuals who cut their daily intake to 1,200 calories can expect to lose some weight. This can be beneficial for people who are overweight or obese.
Will 1200 calories slow metabolism?
A prolonged 1,200 calorie-per-day diet can slow metabolism, so it is best to only do it short-term. There are risks to consuming too few calories, including: Not getting adequate nutrition. Anxiety.
Can you do the military diet for 7 days
The strict plan lasts for three days and is followed by four days off. During these “off” days, you’re encouraged to continue eating healthy foods and try to keep your calorie intake below 1,500 calories. With this diet plan, you are encouraged to repeat the 7-day cycle until you reach your desired weight.
How many calories does 30 minutes of Boot Camp Burn
Compared to an hour of walking, running, or cadrio, which can burn anywhere from as little as 272 calories to about 600 calories per hour depending on weight/height, just one half hour session of boot camp can burn 600 to 1,000 calories.
Do Navy SEALs make 6 figures
Not all career SEALs remain in sufficiently good health to be able to put in their 20 years and get a generous military service retirement. To put SEALs’ pay rates in a different perspective: the highest paid SEAL in the service makes around $230,000 a year after a minimum of 20 years of service.
Which combat sport burns the most calories?
In fact, Muay Thai burns the most amount of calories in a single session. Aside from its intense calorie-torching capabilities, Muay Thai gives you solid weapons for self-defense as well.
Can the military diet make you sick
Given that your calorie intake is severely restricted, Parker said that there’s also a high chance you will experience nasty side effects like irritability, dizziness, fatigue, and headaches.
What is the 5’2 diet rule
The 5:2 diet is based on a principle known as intermittent fasting. This is where you eat normally at certain times and then fast during other times. There are different versions, but the 5:2 diet involves eating a normal, healthy diet for five days every week and ‘fasting’ on the remaining two days.
Is 550 calories a lot for one meal?
Although every person’s daily caloric intake is individual, based on their personal goals and needs, nutrition experts estimate that average daily consumption at each meal should be broken down as follows: 300 to 400 calories for breakfast, and 500 to 700 calories each for lunch and dinner.
How many calories in a 24 hour MRE
The contents of one MRE meal bag provide an average of 1,250 calories (13 % protein, 36 % fat, and 51 % carbohydrates). If it is assumed that a full day’s ration is 3 MREs, then 1,250 calories is multiplied by three; a full day’s ration would equal 3,750 calories.
How many times a day does a soldier eat
USARIEM advocates for soldiers to eat ration items at regular intervals, every four to six hours they’re awake. They should eat 0.7 grams of protein a day for every pound of body weight and take in up to 200 mg of caffeine, redosing every three to four hours, but not to exceed 800 mg.

One of the cruel elements of Liverpool’s injury malaise this season is that it robbed Jurgen Klopp of the chance to consistently deploy his best midfield trio: Fabinho, Thiago Alcantara, and one of Jordan Henderson, Gini Wijnaldum, and Naby Keita.
What should have been Liverpool’s strongest and deepest department this season has been hit just as hard by the series of debilitating injuries as any other position group. Wijnaldum aside, everybody has missed time, with Fabinho having to slot in at centre-back up until this past week’s outing against RB Leipzig in the Champions League
As Liverpool start to map out the jigsaw puzzle for this upcoming transfer window, the midfield department is a funky one. On paper, it remains the strongest, deepest group at the squad. And that’s right. But there are also concerns.
Rattle through the names and you start to notice a trend:
Gini Wijnaldum -- who is likely to exit the club when his contract expires in the summer.
Fabinho -- who may still need to be drafted into emergency centre-back help this season or next season.
Thiago -- who is set to turn 30-years-old and has a patchy injury record.
Jordan Henderson -- who is set to turn 31 and has started to pick up more knocks; Henderson has picked up six different injuries over the past 18-months.
James Milner -- who will turn 36-years-old next year and has become sneakily injury prone.
Naby Keita -- who has his own rough injury record
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain -- see above.
Of Liverpool’s current midfield options, only Curtis Jones and Fabinho can be considered as reliable players without significant recent injury records. And even then, Fabinho has picked up some knocks and may be drafted back into defensive duty next season if Joe Gomez or Virgil van Dijk do not return to their pre-injury levels (or, gulp, pick up fresh knocks).
The age factor is a concern, too -- hit harder by the unreliability of Oxlade-Chamberlain (injuries and performance) and Keita (injuries). Again, Jones and Fabinho are the only sub-30 players with evidence of being able to consistently hold up to two games in a week. If Liverpool wind up playing European football next season with that group, they’re banking on an awful lot of injury luck.
Heading into the summer transfer window, most of the attention has been on the club’s need to retool things at the back, to add one or two faces alongside Van Dijk and Gomez and in place of the notoriously unreliable Joel Matip. And there has also been the nagging conversation about Liverpool’s forward line evolving. Should they add a traditional number nine? Bet on Diogo Jota filling that role? Re-work things around a system that has Mohamed Salah play through the middle? Keep rolling with how things are and hope the current front-four all hit a goal-scoring run during the 2021/22 season?
Whichever side of the argument you fall on, adding another option in place of Divock Origi, Xherdan Shaqiri or Takumi Minamino (who is expected to return from his loan spell with Southampton) seems like a sensible option.
But here’s where you start running up against Liverpool’s budgetary restrictions. Two centre-backs, a forward, and what else? A backup right back to spell Milner? A Wijnaldum replacement?
Like the centre-back situation, you could argue that Klopp needs more than just a Wijnaldum replacement. He needs a stable, reliable contributor to offset the ageing Milner and the erratic Oxlade-Chamberlain and Keita.
More than likely, Liverpool will talk themselves into Jones being one of those options. Most likely he will subsume Wijnaldum’s role in the pecking order. But that still leaves a jumble to figure out. Would there be takers for Oxlade-Chamberlain in the summer in order to finance a midfield min-rebuild? If not, will Liverpool to roll into next season with an extraordinary midfield on paper but one that is starting to creak and spends a whole bunch of time with the team’s medical staff?
As Michael Edwards and his recruitment team gear up to retool the centre-back spots and answer the all-important Firmino question, there is a debate to be had about how those plans clash with any attempt to rebuild the midfield.

Art21 and the Mid-Manhattan Library
a film screening and conversation
Art:21‚ÄîArt in the Twenty-First Century Season 4 episode Ecology.
After the screening Martin Friedman, Curator, Writer, and Director Emeritus of the Walker Art Center, will join Ursula von Rydingsvard for a conversation and Q&A session.
Monday, February 4th, 2008 at 6:30pm
The New York Public Library
40th Street and 5th Avenue, 6th floor
New York, NY 10016
Elevators to access the 6th floor.
All events are FREE and open to the public.
How does our culture influence and affect our understanding of the natural world? Ecology delves into the work of four artists who explore the relationship of nature and culture, including the submission of wilderness to civilization, the foundations of scientific knowledge, the impact of technology on biology, and our relationship to the earth forged by working the land. This episode was shot on location in New York, NY; Los Angeles, CA; Chicago, Il; Rochester, MN; Seattle, WA; Astoria, OR; Cape Disappointment, WA; King County, WA; Beach Lake, PA; and Williamstown, MA.
Ursula von Rydingsvard uses sculptures as a means to express the memories of her childhood. Her studio is filled with massive cedar sculptures, which she painstakingly constructs layer by layer. The end result is a complex and unpredictable surface for viewers to explore and experience.
Robert Adams, working closely with his wife, created Turning Back (1999-2003), which illustrates deforestation in the West, a practice that Adams describes as ‚Äúnot just a matter of exhaustion of resources. I do think there is involved an exhaustion of spirit.‚Äù
Mark Dion explains, ‚ÄúI‚Äôm not one of these artists who is spending a lot of time imagining a better ecological future. I‚Äôm more the kind of artist who is holding up a mirror to the present.‚Äù Viewers follow him on a journey during which he brings a ‚Äúnurse log‚Äù‚Äîa fallen Hemlock tree which is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna‚Äîinto the heart of Seattle.
I√±igo Manglano-Ovalle‚Äôs interest in architecture, politics, and science underscores much of his work. His various exhibitions are featured in the documentary including Random Sky (2006) fa√ßade in Chicago, for which computers process weather data at the installation site to generate a visual representation of climate conditions.
