Wiles Mensch Corporation – DC (WM) provided survey and civil engineering services to support the transformation of the existing Benjamin Banneker Park to improve general accessibility and connectivity for DC’s Southwest quadrant. The 8-acre site located between I-395, Maine Avenue and 9th Street, commemorates the African American scientist, surveyor and author who assisted in the survey of the original boundaries of the District of Columbia.
Due to the location close proximity to exit lanes of major highways and local roads, site elevation and grading were a major component of the site design. An improved pedestrian connection between the National Mall and the waterfront along Maine Avenue, SW was identified and proposed by NPS, in cooperation with NCPC, as part of the SW Ecodistrict and the National Mall plans.
WM completed a boundary, topographic, and utility survey for the design team. The project also includes landscaping, improvements to pedestrian crosswalks and ADA curb ramps, lighting installation, universal accessibility, and stormwater management. Due to the project’s extremely close proximity to the 500-year flood zone, a creative approach to stormwater management design was necessary to ensure full compliance with the Department of Energy & Environment’s SWM regulations was achieved and all programmatic, functional, and aesthetic goals were met for the project. The team located stormwater features between the western stairway and the retaining wall, as an opportunity to use integrated stormwater management as part of the pedestrian experience while descending the western stairway. Further design work was necessary for the stormwater retention component located adjacent to the stairway. Stormwater management was achieved with the inclusion of four on-site bio-retentions.

The restoration of the Old Dumaguete Presidencia or the city hall will be worth about Php 50-million. Dumaguete City Mayor Felipe Antonio Remollo has signed the Deed of Usufruct along with the coordination of represented director Jeremy Barns of the National Museum of the Philippines.
Old Dumaguete Presidencia
The Dumaguete Presidencia was built and designed in 1937 by one of the great Filipino architect Juan M. Arellano. During the Spanish time, it used as the city’s seating area for the government. As planned by the mayor, the city hall will be renovated and then made as a regional museum to boost tourism and preserve the Dumaguete Presidencia.
“Once the restoration project is finished, a regional museum and satellite office will be set up by the National Museum that will showcase artifacts on the local heritage of Negros Island” said City Information Officer Dems Rey Demecillo.
With different projects being released by the Dumaguete City Mayor, it is quite clear that he wants to make a change for our society. After achieving the title as a “debt-free city”, plans have been outgoing through every way. Projects like: satellite market projects, underground parking area in Quezon and in the Public market.
Dumaguete Sangguniang Panlungson have agreed to the restoration of the Old Presidencia. On Wednesday, the signing of the project was attended by stakeholders from the private sector and a group from the National Museum of the Philippines.

It was a busy year for the fraternity. In June, Nick Cellini, Steak Shapiro (above right), and Chris Dimino (above left), who manned Mayhem in the AM on Atlanta's 790 the Zone, mocked former New Orleans Saint Steve Gleason, who suffers from Lou Gehrig's disease, on air. On November 3, Dan Sileo, a host for Palm Beach's WMEN-640 sports, tweeted an offer to give $1000 to any Miami player that "TAKES THIS KID OUT" while attaching a photo of a Florida State player. Then on November 7, Damon Bruce, a midday host at KNBR in San Francisco, launched an eight-minute rant about how women were ruining sports, which are "set to men." Because Bruce is the only one whose jackassery didn't cost him his job, KNBR boss Lee Hammer gets honorary membership in this club of cretins.

Sylvan Esso have shared a new music video for their song “Radio,” which arrives a few weeks before the release of their sophomore album What Now. The song take a sarcastic, caustic look at Top 40 radio, as the band’s Amelia Meath said “getting on the radio is like trying to join the Mafia” in an interview with Vulture.
The video for “Radio” is even more ambitious and biting than the song itself. Clips follow three heavily made-up, doll-like young women around Los Angeles, depicting their sensual night out and casual encounters with young men. It was shot in a collection of city spaces such a parking garage and an ornate, movie-set like room, complete with a fancy buffet.
What Now is out April 28. Watch the video for “Radio” below.

Today the California Optometric Association released the following statement from President Ronald G. Seger O.D., F.A.A.O., in response to the 2019 – 2020 state budget passed by the legislature Thursday and expected to be signed by Governor Gavin Newsom:
“California’s doctors of optometry applaud Governor Newsom and California’s legislators for recognizing the opportunity to improve sight and save lives by restoring eyeglasses and vision aid coverage for adults participating in Medi-Cal.
“Optometrists championed this crucial budget investment because eyeglasses not only help our seniors, people with disabilities and people with low incomes drive safely, read, and work, but also help connect more Californians with essential eye examinations that can save lives and limbs. Eye doctors know firsthand that when Californians don’t have eyeglass coverage, they are more likely to skip necessary comprehensive eye exams, leaving chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension undetected. We are proud to have worked alongside patient advocates to raise this issue to the forefront of budget discussions with the goal of increasing early detection, connecting patients with care needed to manage conditions like diabetes and heart disease, and preventing severe systemic complications ranging from blindness to amputations.
“Doctors of optometry have a clear, 20/20 vision that integrates eye care into a healthcare system focused on prevention to bridge health care gaps for disadvantaged communities. This state budget investment is an important step forward to improve sight and create healthy lives.”


Under car lights, also known as underbody lighting kit has always been a great "add-on" for cars, SUVs and trucks.
If you have ever played any video games about car racing, you will definitely recall seeing the cars with the cool under body lights glowing on the street make the awesome and loud "noise".
The under car lights can bring the vehicle not only extra light at night time but also a new accent cool new look. These underbody kit allows you to standout in the crowds and give your car or truck the a nice theme to be envied for.
The new generation of the car underbdoy lights, the LED under car lights, are gradually replacing the old style neon under car lights which not only dimmer than LED lights but also carry some the risk of exploding during driving or even when the vehicle is parked.
Besides the dimmer and exploding risk, the LED light will also last longer and consume less power than conventional Neon light.
Lastly, by using RGB Technology (Red-Green-Blue), the LED strip light can also emit a combination of 7 different colors which is more colorful than Neon, the 7 colors are Red (R), Green (G), Blue (B), Yellow (G+R), Magenta (R+B), Cyan (B+G), White (R+G+B).
If you are just wondering on how to install the 7-Color LED under car lights, look no more! Here you will find the most detail and easy to follow step by step guide on how to install this LED under car lights.
The principle is very easy. Simply find the "Good" places to mount the four LED strip lights under the vehicle chassis and connect each LED strip lights to the control box, then connect the box to batter and that's it.
Step 1: Mounting the under car LED strip lights. Due to the limited length of the wiring harness, please make sure to measure the distance from the places where you want to install the LED strip lights to the place where you want to install the control box before you actually mount them on. Also, try to install the LED Strip Lights under the chassis where the LED won't be visible.
Step 2: After you have figured out where to mount the LED Strip Lights, simply use the zip ties to mount the LED strips accordingly under the chassis. Make sure to tie the LED Strips straight and tight, so the light will emit evenly on the ground.
Step 3: Open the hood, find a dry and cool place near the batter to mount the LED under car light's control box. Make sure the water won't get there, unlike the waterproof LED tubes, the control box is not waterproof.
Step 4: After you have all four LED properly mounted underneath the vehicle as well as the control box, extend the cords of each LED and connect them to back to the control box.
Step 5: Plug all four wirings back to the control box and connect the positive (red) and negative (black) harness to the stock battery's positive (red) and negative (black).
Step 6: Use your remote control to test this and enjoy your new LED under car lights.

Elizabeth Hand, a 53-year-old woman from Milo, has been sentenced to jail time, probation, and restitution for committing grand larceny against an elderly relative.
The sentencing, handed down on November 28 by State Supreme Court Justice Jason Cook, includes 150 days in county jail and five years of probation. Hand had pleaded guilty to a felony charge of second-degree grand larceny, acknowledging her theft of approximately $95,000.
The embezzlement occurred after Hand gained power of attorney over her elderly relative, who resides in Penn Yan. According to investigators, Hand rapidly depleted the victim’s financial resources, which included a pension, in a relatively short period.
The case came to light following an investigation and audit by the county’s Adult Protective Services unit, leading to Hand’s arrest by village police in February.

Cybersecurity survey calls out UK CFO disconnect
Given the major financial implications associated with cybersecurity violations, it would be reasonable to assume that CFOs play an important role in preparing for and responding to cyberattacks. However, a survey published in May suggests that this is not the case.
The survey, published by UK cybersecurity firm Deep Instinct, reveals that only 12% of CFOs are actively involved in cybersecurity planning and only 14% of these CFOs believe their companies are well-prepared for “cyber-resilience”. ‘The study, based on a survey of 200 CEOs, senior financial and IT security managers at medium and large UK companies, reveals a major disconnect in the perspectives of CFOs compared to 63% of CEO respondents which indicated that their companies were well prepared.
The Deep Instinct survey also reveals a disconnect in understanding related to the real financial implications of cyberattacks. Above all, attacks tend to be more expensive than higher-level decision makers expect them to be. On average, respondents indicated that they would be willing to pay up to £ 760,000 as a result of a beach safety; however, in reality, rescuers who paid ransoms paid an average of more than £ 3 million, four times more than expected.
Decisions to be taken in the field of cybersecurity
From a decision-making point of view, CFOs surprisingly seem to take a back seat to determining whether to pay a ransom and how much, assuming responsibility for this decision in only 14% of attack situations. And even when companies suffered ransomware attacks, only 32% were able to recover data even after paying malicious actors.
The answer, according to Deep Instinct: “studious financial planning” to better understand how vulnerable a company is to a cyberattack. This is confirmed by the results of the survey which indicate that only 38% of respondents are confident in giving monetary value to the data within their organization, and almost half gave answers that showed a lack of understanding of vulnerabilities. real or have not made any assessment to determine how economically vulnerable they may be.

Monuments, Landmarks, And Bridges: A Pause To Reflect
Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. Proverbs 22:28
Can I just talk to you for a while? Will you allow me to paint pictures in your mind before they fade out of mine? Can I share with you the thoughts swirling in my head that I don’t quite know how to put into words?
Do you remember that place? That place where the light shines through the trees a little differently? The place where the air is lighter, and the atmosphere sets you at ease?
Have you ever been to a place where the noises that surround you are ducks and geese conversing about the weather, and the wind rustling the leaves? Where the loudest sound is the river babbling and running into another river, and running into the sea, and the laughter of children fills the air.
Have you seen the green hills as they fade into purple mountains that fade into grey heights that fade into the sky as their peaks pierce through the clouds and laugh at the rain falling below?
Do know the tree, the very old tree that stands by the river and offers shade for all who pass by? How he wishes to be heard, and to tell those who would listen the stories of the generations that have gone before, and their trials and triumphs. When night falls he stretches his arms toward the sky and points to the stars and The One that hung them and keeps them in place.
Do you remember a time when you took your cues from the rising and setting of the sun, and you own stomach, instead of the clock and the calendar? When the most important thing you had to do was watch a nine-year-old bond with a basset hound.
Have you taken the time to pull down from the shelf the book of an old friendship and dust it off? And have you marveled at the grace that has kept it bound throughout the years?
Do you know the feeling of sitting down to a card game with old friends, and having your sons join you for the first time? That’s what children are for after all; learning what we know and passing it on to their children. The important things, and the not-so-important things.
If you know that place, will you go there with me for just a moment? Will you stand on the mountaintops and bask in the goodness of God? Gather some stones and build a monument there on that mountain.
Go back in your mind to a time when The Lord Of Creation showed Himself to you, and conquered the enemy you faced.
The monuments in our lives show us where we’ve been, and what we’ve been through. They point to the old ways and what was good about them, and what needed to change. And they remind us of The One who pulled us through when hope seemed lost.
There are landmarks too, that show us where we’re going. They point out the path we should take so we don’t get lost. Because when it’s one mile south of the Big Chicken, you can’t miss it. And if it’s right next to Twins Stadium, everyone should know where it is. Even if they’re from out of town.
No matter how far we think we’ve come, or how successful the trip, we’ll always need the monuments and landmarks. Because there will always be bumps in the road, twists and turns along the way, and unexpected road blocks that stop us in our tracks.
And we never know when we’ll wake up one morning to discover another heartbroken wife, or another town devastated by tragic loss. In those moments we always wonder why, and we want to know what made them do it.
Whatever we reasons we find to explain it, at the root of it all, there is always someone who forgot the monuments, ignored the landmarks, and burned the bridges that connected them to their fellow man, and The God that formed them in their mother’s womb.
And when they were lost, they took directions from the one with the greasy smile and the bad intentions, and followed them to the wrong side of town.
When you find yourself lost on the wrong side of town, it’s so easy to stay there, and so hard to leave.
So it’s up to the ones who remember the monuments, and followed the landmarks to the Narrow Way, to be the bridge builders. To help the lost ones find their way back to The Light.
And when the bad days come, when the thing we were so hoping for doesn’t happen, we’ll need to look back on the times when we knew God’s hand was working. We’ll need the monuments to help us remember. To tell the story one more time of when the doctor looked at your husband and said “You should have died from this.”
Then you can find the peace that tells you that The God who hung the stars is still in control. And always was.
In those moments of looking back, you’ll sometimes find that the things you thought were important weren’t after all, and the things that seemed unimportant meant the world.
Remember the mountains, and the peace that was there on those hilltops, where the sunlight danced in the trees. And remember The Creator of those mountains, Whose presence is infinitely greater, and Who holds even the tiniest sparrow in the palm of his hand.
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26:3

- The Capitol Hill Times -
Amid the largest crowd to ever assemble for a Seattle inauguration, two months after his electoral victory, this Monday Ed Murray officially took the oath of office as Seattle’s 53rd mayor. The massive turnout reflected the historical significance of the ceremony, with Murray becoming the city’s first openly-gay mayor and the first American mayor to be in a same-sex marriage, as well as the swearing-in of Kshama Sawant, the first socialist City Councilmember in at least a hundred years.
Speaking before the crowd, Murray noted that he wanted the turnout to be a reflection of Seattle residents entering a partnership with his administration, and that he would levy his new position to act as a conduit for renewing the people’s faith in government.
“We live in a moment in history where government and its ability to function have been called into question,” Murray said. “I reject that cynicism. Government can function again, and Seattle can lead the way.”
Murray, however, also said that he didn’t believe his administration would provide the “sole solution” to the region’s issues, but instead that it would be an incubator for finding and experimenting with new measures to face those problems. He went on to lay out the priorities of his administration – raising the minimum wage and lowering the cost of living took center stage in his agenda, along with social justice issues like racial and gender equality.
“We must be courageous enough to acknowledge that despite the huge gains we have made towards a more equitable city, there is much that still divides us, and we must be brave enough to act to address those divisions,” Murray said. “I pledge that every department and program of this city government will challenge ourselves and the city as a whole to address the issues of economic disparity in wages and in housing.”
Outside of the living wage debate, Murray directly addressed the continuing controversy surrounding the Seattle Police Department, which the U.S. Department of Justice has deemed to be acting too slowly in implementing mandatory changes following a federal investigation of excessive use of force. Murray stated that reform of the SPD would be a top priority during his tenure as mayor.
“Our police department must be reformed,” Murray said. “This will require great effort. I am committed to making sure that our police department achieves the federal court’s mandate and moves on. However, that alone is not enough. The agreement with the Department of Justice must be embraced and woven into the fabric of our police force… I pledge to make Seattle’s Police Department a model of urban policing for the rest of the nation.”
While his agenda priorities reflect Murray’s platform during last year’s campaign, the debate surrounding the expansion of Seattle’s bike lanes was only vaguely mentioned while Murray discussed the city’s transportation infrastructure.
“I believe we can build a truly integrated transportation system with a world class transit system at its core,” Murray said. “I believe we can maintain and expand a vibrant park system, sidewalks, bike lanes, repair our crumbling streets, and rebuild our central waterfront.”
Murray’s predecessor, former mayor Mike McGinn, famously made the issue of improving and expanding the city’s bike infrastructure a top priority of his administration. Following McGinn’s defeat, many analysts pointed to the former mayor’s focus on bike lanes as a contributing factor. So far, Murray’s office has been reluctant to speak on what his transportation policy will entail, hinting that a more balanced approach to transportation would be explored.
In his closing remarks, Murray again emphasized the importance of establishing partnerships between the community and City Hall, and that his role as mayor ultimately is that of a public servant.
“Leadership is ultimately about service – service to the people of this city,” Murray said. “Those of us who have taken the oath of office today join our colleagues in governing this city, first and last as servants – public servants. I am hopeful and excited about the possibilities that these challenges present, because we live in a place of unmatched beauty, with the most innovative businesses on the planet and a wealth of talented people committed to improving the lives of those around us.”

VERNON–Silver Star Road is the second worst road in the province, according to an online poll by the BCAA.
Last week, we told you about the people who work and live at the mountain resort who were snowed in, because road maintenance crews scaled back operations at the end of the ski season.
It seems now, that lack of maintenance has helped earn the road the second place ranking in preliminary voting.
Anybody can vote for whichever road in their area frustrates them the most, and comment as to why.
Silver Star wasn’t the only road in the Okanagan to make the list.
Westside Road in West Kelowna is sitting both at number 1, and at number 6, while 40th Street Northeast in Salmon Arm is number 3.

China is building one of its “most advanced” naval warships, considered “the largest and most powerful combat vessel” it has ever exported, for its ally Pakistan as part of a major bilateral arms deal to maintain “the balance of power in the Indian Ocean” and strengthen Islamabad’s military capabilities, the state-run China Daily reported Wednesday.
Pakistan has reportedly requested four combat vessels from China.
Citing the Beijing-owned defense contractor China State Shipbuilding Corporation, China Daily revealed, “China recently started construction of an export version of one of its advanced warships and will deliver it to Pakistan as part of a major arms deal. … It said the ship is a version of the Chinese Navy’s most advanced guided missile frigate, without specifying its type.
China is expected to equip the warship with detection and weapon systems, including anti-ship, anti-submarine, and air-defense missile capabilities.
“Once constructed, the warship will be one of the largest and technologically advanced platforms of Pakistan’s Navy and strengthen the country’s capability to respond to future challenges, maintain peace and stability and the balance of power in the Indian Ocean region. It will also support the Pakistani Navy’s initiative of securing sea lanes for international shipping by patrolling distant waters, it said in a statement on its twitter account,” the state-run news outlet added.
China Daily learned from an anonymous insider in China’s shipbuilding sector that the warship Beijing is constructing for Pakistan “is the largest and most powerful combat vessel China has ever exported.”
The China Daily report came a day after the Financial Times (FT), quoting two senior Pakistan government officials, revealed that China has agreed to lend at least $2 billion to cash-strapped Pakistan to help boost its dwindling foreign exchange and collapsing currency.
“China’s promise to Pakistan is an indication of their commitment to help us avoid a crisis. If the rupee falls sharply and we need to prevent its slide, we can turn to China,” an unnamed senior government official in Islamabad told FT.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration has warned countries against China’s predatory lending practices “that mire nations in debt and undercut their sovereignty, denying them their long-term, self-sustaining growth.”
China, however, has long provided financial and military assistance to Pakistan. Both Pakistan and China consider India to be a regional rival.
Late last year, a report by RAND Corporation noted that Pakistan is the biggest importer of Chinese weapons.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF), partly funded by the United States, has also warned Pakistan against “excessive loans” from China, Reuters reported. Pakistan has reached out to the IMF for a loan.

Daisy Lafarge’s debut novel – she’s also published a poetry collection with Granta – won a Betty Trask award, open to novelists under 35. Paul takes the reader inside the head of a young woman who keeps finding herself involved with older men. Frances is a floundering graduate student, spending the summer in France; after parting ways with an academic she’d been helping with research (and sleeping with), she volunteers at a farm, and gets tangled up with its owner – the charming but manipulative 44-year-old Paul.
The novel explores how a certain feminine, British polite passivity can be taken advantage of, as Frances silently goes along with things other people want and expect of her. Lafarge underpins her heroine’s drift with a convincing sense of helpless inevitability; Frances, like many young women, is so trapped in an invisible cage of people-pleasing and conflict avoidance, she doesn’t know what she wants, or even who she really is. As the affair grinds on, she literally loses her voice – it’s easy for Paul to tell their story for her.
In truth, the blank, detached, listlessly glassy-eyed female protagonist feels a little wearyingly overfamiliar in contemporary fiction, maar Paul is a worthy addition to the genre. And art fans get an extra game of spot-the-Gauguin reference: Paul is a modern-day version of the painter. His breezy “spiritual traveller” shtick – gushing about the less uptight culture of Tahiti and Vanuatu – rings extra alarm bells to anyone who knows anything about Gauguin’s own time there.
Lafarge is also strong on the heady, time-stretching disorientation of travelling itself – of being plunged into situations, and struggling to figure them out; of being reliant on the kindness of strangers, and wondering what they might expect in return. She writes about the lush landscape and heat of the south of France with a sensual elegance and sense of foreboding that can verge on precious, but her debut is also highly readable – this novel draws you in as surely as Paul ensnares Frances.

These days, data security is of paramount importance for businesses and organizations. According to the latest Ernst & Young survey, cybersecurity and data privacy are among the top board priorities for 64% of respondents.
Virtual data rooms (VDRs) have emerged as a game-changer in the realm of cybersecurity, offering a secure and efficient platform for data storage and sharing during critical business processes.
This article explores the significance of virtual data rooms in ensuring robust data security and highlights the top seven features that make them a banking-grade security solution.
What is a secure virtual data room?
A secure virtual data room is an online repository that provides a safe and confidential environment for storing, managing, and sharing sensitive documents and information during critical business processes.
Each online data room software employs robust data encryption, multi-factor authentication, and granular access controls to protect data from unauthorized access or data breaches. It ensures that only authorized individuals can access specific documents and tracks user activities through detailed audit trails.
Advanced security features further enhance data protection, making a secure virtual data room an essential tool for safeguarding valuable information and maintaining confidentiality during high-stakes transactions.
- Tip: Compared to physical data rooms, virtual ones are way more cost-effective. There are four types of virtual data room pricing — pay-per-page, pay-per-user, pay-per-storage-base, and pay-per-month, with the latter being the most cost-effective one.
Why are virtual data rooms important?
The level of data security and privacy virtual data rooms provide is essential for businesses involved in high-stakes transactions like mergers and acquisitions, fundraising, and due diligence.
- Tip: VDR versatility makes data rooms similarly suitable across many industries — from oil and gas to healthcare, government, nonprofit, and finance. Learn how data rooms facilitate oil and gas transactions: https://data-room-software.org/blog/data-room-for-oil-gas-industry/.
Data room providers provide a secure and centralized space for storing sensitive documents, enabling authorized participants to access and collaborate on critical information from anywhere with an internet connection. VDRs are crucial in preventing data breaches and ensuring confidential information remains protected during the deal-making process.
7 features best virtual data rooms offer for advanced security
Here’s how some of the best virtual data room providers ensure maximum protection of confidential data:
- Granular access permissions. This feature enables fine-tuned control over who can view, edit, download, or share particular documents within the data room. Granular access permissions ensure that sensitive information is accessible only to relevant parties, minimizing the risk of data leaks and maintaining a highly secure environment for critical business processes.
- Multi-factor authentication. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a robust security measure implemented in secure virtual data rooms. MFA requires users to go through multiple verification steps before gaining access to the data room. Most modern virtual data room providers offer two-factor authentication, wherein users not only enter their login credentials but also verify their identities by entering an SMS code or using another secondary authentication method. This additional layer of security ensures that only authorized individuals with verified identities can access sensitive information, significantly bolstering the overall data room security.
- Redaction. Virtual data rooms offer advanced redaction capabilities, allowing administrators to mask or obscure specific portions of documents. This feature is especially critical when dealing with confidential financial data, personally identifiable information (PII), or other sensitive content. Redaction ensures that only authorized users can access and view relevant information while protecting sensitive details from unauthorized eyes.
- Remote wipe. In the event of a security breach or unauthorized access, VDRs equipped with remote wipe functionality can take swift action. This feature allows administrators to remotely delete or wipe sensitive data from devices that have accessed the virtual data room. This proactive approach mitigates potential damage and ensures that any unauthorized copies of sensitive documents are promptly removed.
- Fence view. This feature prevents screen sharing during the document viewing process, ensuring that participants cannot capture screenshots or record sensitive information during a session. The fence view adds an extra layer of protection, safeguarding the confidentiality of the data shared within the virtual data room.
- Encryption. Advanced encryption algorithms convert sensitive information into an unreadable format, rendering it indecipherable to unauthorized users. This encryption technology ensures that even if data is intercepted or accessed illicitly, it remains protected.
- Time and IP restriction. IP and time restriction enables administrators to limit access to specific IPs within designated timeframes. With this feature, virtual data room providers can enhance security by allowing access only from specified IP addresses and during predetermined time periods. By implementing IP and time restrictions, organizations can ensure that sensitive data remains accessible only to authorized users and within approved time windows, effectively safeguarding valuable information from unauthorized access and potential breaches.
Data room services have revolutionized the way businesses approach data security, providing a secure and efficient solution for storing and sharing sensitive information during critical transactions. With features like redaction, remote wipe, and fence view, VDRs offer banking-grade security to protect valuable data from unauthorized access and potential breaches.
By embracing virtual data rooms, organizations can enhance their cybersecurity measures and gain the confidence to navigate high-stakes business processes with peace of mind.

It's hard to believe it's only been two years since Abe Vigoda's Skeleton, and the Smell's burgeoning fame, put the L.A. band on the map.
It seems like a lot has happened since. Mika Miko split, a new venue was dubbed press darling, and No Age has set a date for their new one, Everything In Between.
But the just-out press release announcing the quartet's new album, Crush (out September 21 on PPM, Sept. 20 on Bella Union abroad), promises “glassy shards of 'cold wave' pop, with synthesisers, sequencers and altogether broodier beats.”
Newest song, “Throwing Shade” delivers all of that.
DOWNLOAD: Abe Vigoda – “Throwing Shade” [MP3]
Apparently the new drummer, along with the band's taste for the gothic arts, is responsible for the shift. From the release:
In 2009 Dane Chadwick replaced drummer Reggie Guerrero, introducing a new style of regimented beats as well as other musical ideas to the table. “More than just rhythmically, Dane helped with melodies and most of the electronics on the album,” says vocalist Michael Vidal.
Meanwhile, guitarist Juan Velasquez had already posted the fact he dug UK dreampop and goth. To which Vidal adds, “My favorite kind of music is instantly nostalgic and emotionally confusing. And reverb has always been a big part of our sound. We were definitely inspired by cold wave and minimal wave stuff, as well as Arthur Russell.”

3. Muscle Ache
While the tiredness is more commonly associated with younger sufferers, the older generation will often experience an intense muscle soreness which can likewise make it difficult to go about their usual activities. This muscle soreness may be similar to the muscle ache that is often associated with flu and other infections. Patients also describe it as being similar to the way that muscles often feel after an intense workout or a very long walk.
This in turn can make the symptom of muscle pain difficult to spot. And when you consider that this condition is rarer in older adults, it becomes generally difficult to diagnose. Many adults will not entertain the idea of having contracted the ‘kissing disease’ – especially if they are in a relationship!
For these reasons, it is important to look out for the other symptoms of mono and never to rule this out as a possibility!

Best anabolic steroids to take The dose-response relationships of anabolic actions vs the potentially serious risk to health of androgenic-anabolic steroids (aas) use are still unresolvedand remain controversial. Since anabolic steroids represent one of the major anabolic steroids, as well as other illicit drug (i.e. opioids) as well as anabolic agents (e.g. caffeine, creatine, etc.), they are not routinely offered on the market, as it is believed to pose a risk of cancer of the esophagus (a major part of the esophagus) and other possible diseases (i.e. infertility, impotence, etc.) and/or liver and kidney diseases, according to the recent FDA decision.

Someone made a bad joke! Ever since she was eleven, pop star Billie Eilish (21) has been writing her own songs. The singer-songwriter made her breakthrough two years later with the hit “Ocean Eyes”. After that, the career of the young musician skyrocketed. Now, however, the California native is making headlines with rather unusual news. A whole squad of policemen has been ordered to Billie’s house!
As TMZ reports, the police received a prank call on Wednesday. It said that the well-known musician was in trouble! When the numerous police officers showed up at Billie’s house, they got in touch with her team. However, this gave the all-clear about the whereabouts of the “Bad Guy” interpreter. Recently, such an emergency call had also been received at Britney Spears’ (41) house, which fans are very worried about.
However, just a few weeks ago, Billie had actually had a worrying incident at her childhood home! According to Billie’s father, since late December last year, a fan has reportedly visited the family home to declare their love for Billie. He is said to have hoped to meet the singer in person, which the report said caused her “significant anxiety, fear, and emotional distress.” According to legal documents, the Grammy winner then applied for an injunction against the 39-year-old.

Brent, I have worked on many of these Lionel Legacy GP35 engines with 28 in my collection. The GP35 is an easy engine to open. Closing the engine requires guiding the battery cable so it does not pinch between the chassis and body shell, and avoiding pulling the antenna wire out of the board. I slide the body shell on, front end first to get it to align around the Cab interior. Check that no wire gets run over the top of the smoke unit.
I have pushed the board connections together on an occasion or two. (I have switched non-powered body shells onto eight GN GP35 Legacy chassis that I bought from a dealer, in order to make a third powered with sound & smoke for a three engine consist in several road names.)
If there is an engine to attempt to open, the GP35 is one of the simplest. Put the body panhead screws in a small dish so you don't lose them. The body shell will lift up and be laid on its side with all wires connected between chassis components and the engine shell.
Check that the antenna wire coming from the roof metal plate is plugged into a board. It is the shortest of the interior wires and could get pulled out. You will see the two boards Gunrunner John pictured. Push then gently together and see if they get closer together. There are two rows of pins that should plug into each other.
THE ORIGINAL TRACTION TIRES on the GP35 and some F3s were too fat/thick and raised the wheel high enough off the rail that the wheel flange could not guide the trucks through switches and around curves. The outside edge of these too thick traction tires will wear and bevel themselves causing the engine to jump the track. The correct traction tire is Lionel part number #6208815206. I just replaced the traction tires on a 6-38875 B&O GP9 #6456 that wore the edges of the too fat traction tires and jumped a switch.
Maintenance on traction tires and smoke units will be a regular job over the lifetime of your engine.
Sincerely, John Rowlen

But Russia once again seeking to interfere in our elections wasn't what enraged him. It's that officials sounded the alarm about it.

Former President Bill Clinton admitted to lying under oath about an affair with a 22 year old White House intern. He was impeached and acquitted, with all Senate Democrats and five Senate Republicans acquitting him on all articles of impeachment.
President Donald Trump withheld aid from a foreign ally on the condition that the country's president open investigations into his political rivals. Senate Republicans refused to hear firsthand witnesses with explosive allegations in the Senate trial. Multiple Senate Republicans condemned Trump's actions, but only one voted to convict him—the first time in U.S. history a Senator voted to convict an impeached President of his or her own party.
Though both Presidents were acquitted, a new video from The Recount is demonstrating just how differently the two men treated the outcome.
Vladimir Putin and Syrian President Caught on Video Joking About Trump During Putin's Recent Trip to Syria
Just a little over a month after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and other European leaders were caught mocking President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad were caught joking about Trump as well.
The video was leaked from coverage of Putin's visit to Syria.
After White House Releases Summary of Call Between Trump and Putin, People Imagine How the Call Really Went
Russian President Vladimir Putin's relationship with President Donald Trump has been a hot topic in the United States since Trump's presidential campaign.
With evidence detailed in the Mueller Report that Trump campaign officials welcomed Russian assistance to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, Americans across the country have condemned Trump's apparent subservience to Putin.
In the Summer of 2018 at a joint conference in Helsinki, Trump infamously sided with Putin over unanimous assessments from U.S. intelligence officials that Putin ordered a sweeping disinformation campaign to influence the American election. No record of their hours-long closed door discussion prior to the conference was released.
WH Spokesman Says Trump and Russian Foreign Minister Will Discuss 'Election Security' and People Have Questions
The same day House leadership announced articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, the President welcomed Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Far-right Fox News host Tucker Carlson routinely rails against legal immigration, against the so-called "socialism" of the left, and against basic respect for people whose phenotype doesn't match his—all under the guise of love for American values.
So it came as a surprise when Carlson said he was supporting Russia in its ongoing aggression towards neighboring Ukraine.
'Fox and Friends' Host Pushes Back on Trump After He Repeats Conspiracy Theory That Ukraine Has DNC Server
Diplomat and Ukraine expert Dr. Fiona Hill testified before the House Intelligence Committee overseeing the impeachment inquiry on Thursday, notably criticizing Republican lawmakers for pushing the conspiracy theory that it was Ukraine that hacked our election in 2016 and framed Russia for it.
Only one day later, President Donald Trump called in to Fox and Friends, repeating the same fictional narrative that Dr. Hill warned against.

Jose Mier Sun Valley Kitchen Makes Wide Use
Jose Mier is well known for his Sun Valley, California tarts and topping them with meringue is like the coronation of a king.
Meringue is a culinary marvel that has enchanted taste buds for centuries. This delicate and versatile confection is created from just a few basic ingredients – egg whites, sugar, and sometimes acid – but its transformative power in the world of desserts is truly remarkable. In this exploration, we’ll delve into the art and science of making meringue, its various types, and the countless ways it can be used to elevate desserts.
The Foundations of Meringue
The journey of meringue begins with the humble egg. More specifically, it is the egg white that plays the starring role in creating this light and airy confection. Egg whites are predominantly composed of water and protein, specifically ovalbumin. When whipped, these proteins denature and trap air, creating a stable foam. The addition of sugar is crucial, as it not only sweetens the meringue but also stabilizes the foam by binding with the water present in the egg whites.
Types of Meringue
Meringue comes in three primary forms, each with its unique characteristics and applications:
- French Meringue: This is the simplest and most common type of meringue. It is made by whipping egg whites and gradually adding granulated sugar. The resulting meringue is glossy, light, and soft. It is used to top pies, create pavlovas, or as a component in desserts like Eton Mess.
- Italian Meringue: Italian meringue is more stable and holds its shape better than French meringue. It is made by pouring a hot sugar syrup into whipped egg whites, which cooks them partially. The resulting meringue is silky and can be used to make delicate desserts like macarons or to create a stable base for mousses and soufflés.
- Swiss Meringue: Swiss meringue is created by gently heating egg whites and sugar over a double boiler until the sugar dissolves. Then, the mixture is whipped to stiff peaks. This method results in a smooth, glossy meringue that is particularly well-suited for making buttercream frosting or as a base for baked Alaska.
The Art of Making Meringue
Creating meringue may seem straightforward, but there are some key tips and techniques that can help ensure success:
- Cleanliness: Make sure all utensils and equipment are clean and free of any grease. Even a small amount of fat can prevent egg whites from whipping up properly.
- Room Temperature: Allow the egg whites to come to room temperature before whipping. Cold egg whites may not whip up as well.
- Separating Eggs: Be careful when separating eggs to ensure no traces of yolk end up in the whites, as this can also hinder the whipping process.
- Stages of Whipping: Gradually add the sugar once the egg whites start to foam. This helps stabilize the meringue. Whip the mixture until it reaches your desired stage: soft peaks for French meringue, stiff peaks for Italian and Swiss meringue.
- Acidic Addition: A small amount of acid, such as cream of tartar or lemon juice, can help stabilize the meringue further, particularly when making French meringue.
- Temperature Control: When making Italian meringue, pour the hot sugar syrup in a slow, steady stream into the whipping egg whites. This ensures the sugar is incorporated evenly, and the hot syrup cooks the egg whites.
Endless Possibilities: What Can You Do with Meringue?
Meringue’s incredible versatility allows it to be used in an array of sweet creations. Here are some of the delightful ways meringue can be incorporated into desserts:
- Pies and Tarts: Meringue is a classic topping for pies like lemon meringue, chocolate meringue, and key lime pie. The fluffy, toasted peaks of meringue add a beautiful contrast to the rich fillings.
- Pavlova: A pavlova is a meringue-based dessert with a crisp exterior and a soft, marshmallow-like interior. It’s typically topped with whipped cream and fresh fruits like berries and kiwi.
- Macarons: Meringue serves as the foundation for these delicate, colorful sandwich cookies. When combined with almond flour, it creates the signature light and airy texture.
- Baked Alaska: This show-stopping dessert features a layer of sponge cake or brownie topped with a dome of meringue. The meringue is then quickly torched or baked to create a stunning toasted exterior.
- Soufflés: Meringue can be folded into a flavored base (such as chocolate or fruit puree) to create the light and fluffy texture of a soufflé.
- Buttercream Frosting: Swiss meringue is the secret behind the silky, stable, and less sweet buttercream frosting that adorns many cakes and cupcakes.
- Mousse: Italian meringue can be folded into chocolate or fruit puree to create a light and airy mousse.
- Dacquoise: This layered dessert is made by sandwiching layers of meringue between flavored creams or mousses, creating a textural delight.
- Eton Mess: A simple yet delightful dessert consisting of crushed meringue, whipped cream, and fresh berries, often served in a messy, deconstructed style.
- Meringue Cookies: Meringue can be piped into various shapes and sizes and baked to create crunchy, melt-in-your-mouth cookies.
- Meringue Shells: Hollow meringue shells can be filled with ice cream, sorbet, or a fruit compote to create a sophisticated and refreshing dessert.
- Meringue Kisses: Small dollops of meringue baked until crisp and sweet, perfect for snacking or as garnishes.
Meringue, with its simplicity of ingredients and exquisite versatility, is a testament to the artistry and science of baking. Whether used to crown a pie, create a luscious pavlova, or form the backbone of a delicate macaron, meringue has earned its place in the pantheon of classic desserts. Its ability to transform humble egg whites into a heavenly creation is a testament to the magic that can be achieved in the kitchen. So, the next time you indulge in a dessert adorned with a cloud-like swirl of meringue, take a moment to appreciate the centuries of culinary tradition and innovation that have brought this ethereal confection to life.

Wilderness team member Teearn Falconer makes some very special memories with her family on a motorhome holiday.
Family fun with a hefty dose of mountain biking was top of the agenda when my husband and I took our two boys away in a Wilderness campervan for a few nights in the beautiful Bay of Plenty in March.
After a busy couple of months at work, we wanted to spend time with the kids and have fun together, so our plan was to freedom camp around Mount Maunganui and Papamoa and then head to Rotorua for some mountain biking. With the help of my boys Zuma (7) and Rico (4), I packed our Wilderness Alpine 4 motorhome and we hit the road, with my husband due to join us later in Rotorua.
So much to do at The Mount
The boys are crazy about skateboarding and biking, so our first stop on the way was at the Omokoroa Skatepath, which is listed as one of the Top 10 skateparks in New Zealand and is just off SH2 on the way south to Tauranga. Thanks to the motorhome’s large garage, we had easily fitted skateboards, scooters and surfboards inside, with our mountain bikes stacked on the back. The kids had great fun on the park’s bumps, ramps and rails but were exhausted, so we drove on to Mount Maunganui and parked right up at the beachfront at Pilot Bay, where the views were just beautiful.
It was great having the motorhome as the boys could have a bit of quiet time inside playing with LEGO, while I read a book. Then we made some lunch in our kitchen, and stepped straight out onto the beach to eat, and have a swim.
That afternoon we went to Rocktopia, which is an awesome spot for families. It’s a great facility with heaps of different rock climbing walls for all abilities and it was nice and quiet mid-week when we visited. And being an indoor attraction it’s perfect if you need something to entertain kids on a rainy day.
Dinner was delicious Mexican at The Barrio Brothers, which I’d highly recommend if you’re dining with children, as the boys loved the kids’ menu. Then we piled into the motorhome and drove 15 minutes to Papamoa, where we found a freedom camping spot right on the beach – we arrived in the dark but woke up to beautiful waves right in front of us, it was fantastic.
That morning the boys and I walked up Mount Maunganui to see the views across the bay, and as a bit of a challenge we timed ourselves – they were stoked to see we’d done it in just 28 minutes! They’d earned a break after that, so we spent the afternoon at Mount Hot Pools, which has heated salt water pools, including one for children, and massage treatments if you want to indulge. It’s a fab spot for families and it’s well worth checking their website before you go as they often have specials on entrance fees.
Just across from the pools is the famous Copenhagen Cones and getting an ice cream there is a bit of a family tradition, going back to when I was a child. The boys remembered it from our visit the year before so they were desperate to go again!
Adventure time in Rotorua
My husband joined us that night and the next day we headed to Rotorua, which has world-class mountain biking trails. Rico and Zuma are keen riders so we wanted to do some of the family trails in the Redwoods as well as try a few more advanced ones for Zuma.
A shuttle service can take you to the top of the downhill trails and Zuma and his dad used this so he could try some more technical runs while I took Rico on the family loop. The motorhome was ideal again, because we’d parked close by, so Rico and I could come back and have a snack and hang out while the others finished their rides. We’d booked a site at the Rotorua Thermal Holiday Park, just around the corner from the bike tracks and has hot mineral pools for guests to use, so was ideal after a long day on the bikes.
That evening we rode the Skyline gondola and had a perfect view of the mountain bikers taking part in the world-famous Crankworx mountain biking festival on the tracks below us. We did the Saturday Night Lights luge session (check the website for availability), which the kids loved. Rico rode with his dad while Zuma was delighted to get his own luge. We had so much fun on the twists and turns and seeing the track with its colourful lights –a possum even ran across the track at one point! It was such a neat way to spend our night in Rotorua!
Memories to treasure
It was the ideal family holiday – we had everything we needed at our fingertips in the Alpine 4 and it was wonderful just being able to pull up anywhere and chill out. The boys loved the motorhome and the two single beds in the back meant they each had their own space with cupboards for their things and a little shelf between them for a night light and a few of their toys. My husband and I slept on the dropdown bed, so we felt like it was big enough that we could be sitting up front or lying in bed and everyone still had enough room.
We loved having the time together on the road to have some fun and move at our own pace. It was the perfect way to make some very special family memories.
