Vendorable is committed to best practices around data security and privacy, including the protection of individuals' rights with respect to their personal data, and believes it is compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

In this article, we'll be covering:

  • What is the GDPR
  • What has Vendorable done to comply?
  • What are my GDPR obligations and how can Vendorable help?
  • What are my Vendorable rights and how can I exercise them?

What is the GDPR?

The GDPR is a European Union regulation that introduces a range of obligations on internet software companies with regard to the personal data they process in doing business. These obligations seek to assure individuals that their personal data are secure and that their rights in relation to that data will be respected.

What has Vendorable done to comply?

For GDPR purposes, Vendorable is both a:

  • Data Controller: Vendorable collects personal data from its own users; and
  • Data Processor: Vendorable collects personal data from its users' clients and contacts — e.g., when those clients/contacts submit their names and email addresses during the Vendorable workflow processes.

In either case, Vendorable is responsible for safeguarding the data it processes — whether the data are acquired and processed on its own behalf or on behalf of its users.

Vendorable has dedicated significant resources to preparing for the GDPR. The following are some of the principal activities we've undertaken in the several months prior to the GDPR's introduction:

  • Research: We've reviewed the text of the GDPR and related guidances to gain a clear understanding of Vendorable's obligations, and we've considered industry best practices in seeking to ensure that we fulfill those obligations.
  • Updates to legal documents: We've updated our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and we've prepared a Data Processing Addendum to assist our users in complying with their own obligations under the GDPR.
  • Internal data audit: We've undertaken a review of all the data we collect, including the reasons why the collect that data and what we do with that data, and limiting access to the data by Vendorable personnel where appropriate.
  • Data Management Policy: We've adopted a company-wide Data Management Policy that offers Vendorable personnel a comprehensive guide around their handling of personal data.
  • Vendor review: We've reviewed the GDPR-compliance status of our software vendors to ensure that they are adhering to the GDPR, including by signing Data Processing Addenda with those vendors where appropriate.

Going forward, we'll be working on our internal practices and processes around data security and privacy with a view to continually improving them.

What are my GDPR obligations and how can Vendorable help?

If you are collecting personal data from individual clients or contacts based in the EU, including in the course of using Vendorable, then you may have certain obligations with respect to that data — as a ‘Data Controller' under the GDPR. In those circumstances, we recommend:

  • Ensuring that your Privacy Policy and Terms of Service are up-to-date.
  • Considering how you handle consent from those individual clients or contacts.
  • Getting legal and other professional advice regarding your obligations.
  • Where appropriate, agreeing to Data Processing Addenda with those software vendors that possess and otherwise process the personal data you're collecting.

What are my GDPR rights and how can I exercise them?

If you're an individual whose data Vendorable possesses or processes, then you have a number of rights, including the right to object to certain data processing activities and to rectify data that is inaccurate or complete data that is incomplete. These rights are outlined in greater detail in our Privacy Policy, under "Rights to Information".

To enquire about or exercise these rights, please contact us.

Disclaimer: the contents of this page are provided for informational purposes only, and not meant to serve as legal advice. You should consult with legal and other professional counsel to determine whether and how the GDPR may affect you or your business.

On the Philosophy of Hermetic Swordsmanship

On the Philosophy of Hermetic Swordsmanship from L’Académie de l’Espée (1630)

by Gerard Thibault

translated by John Michael Greer

The following essay is taken from the first chapter of the most elaborate treatise on fencing ever written, Gerard Thibault’s L’Académie de l’Espée (The Academy of the Sword)1 Thibault, one of the best fencers of his age, was also a physician, a painter and an architect— and, if his manual of swordsmanship is any guide, a capable student of the Hermetic tradition as well. In discussing the philosophical underpinnings of his style of fencing, he borrowed themes and details from a wide range of Hermetic writings including the Asclepius, the Conclusiones of Pico di Mirandola, and the Three Books of Occult Philosophy of Henry Cornelius Agrippa.

I have dealt elsewhere with the historical background to Thibault, and to the whole movement of Hermetically inspired swordsmanship he exemplified.2 That movement represents one of the more unexpected facets of Renaissance Hermeticism — and one of the more cogent pieces of evidence that Renaissance Hermeticism was far from the purely intellectual and abstract pastime envisioned by some modern scholars. It may also serve as a reminder to modern Hermeticists that the traditions they study are by no means without their practical implications.

A discourse on the excellence and perfection of man, declaring that his body is exactly compassed by Nambet; Weight and Measure, having movements which relate to the circle

Man is the most perfect and excellent of all the creatures of the world. In him is found, among other marks of divine wisdom, so exquisite a representation of the whole universe, in its entirely and in its principal parts, that he has been rightly called by the ancient philosophers “Microcosm”, which is to say the Little World.

For even aside from the dignity of the soul, which has such great advantages over all that is perishable, his body contains an abridgment, not only of all that is here below on earth, but also of that which is in heaven itself. It represents the whole with a harmony so sweet, beautiful and complete, and with so exact a concordance of number, measure and weight, related so marvelously to the virtues of the four elements and to the influence of the seven planets, that nothing else can be found like it.1

The most perfect number, Ten, is continually shown before his eyes, in its entirety by his own fingers, and again divided into two equal halves on his two hands, with Five fingers on each; which is again divided unequally into One and Four by the thumb and the rest of the fingers, of which the One is made up of Two joints, and the Four of Three. In such a way, this structure places always in his view the first and most excellent numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10.

Such illustrious philosophers as Pythagoras, Plato, and all those of their schools have held these numbers in such great esteem that they chose to conceal in them, and deduce from them, the greatest mysteries of their doctrine. Furthermore, in the length, breadth and thickness of this same body, measure is seen to be so precisely observed that the greatest ancient and modern architects have not found anything else in the world more appropriate to serve them as a rule, according to which they order their works, than this sole pattern of man. In this pattern they saw a perpetual proportion observed by God Himself in the making of the body, which they took as an example in order to fashion from the beginnings the architecture of temples, theaters, amphitheaters, palaces, towers, ships, and other instruments both of peace and of war, not only in their entirety, but also in each of their principal parts: columns, posts, capitals, pedestals, and other similar members.2

So we read that the Temple of Solomon, that grand ornament and miracle of the flourishing republic of the Jews, was built according to this same proportion; and what is more, that God Himself commanded the patriarch Noah, in building the Ark, to follow the same rule.3 For just as the body of man measures 300 minutes in length, 50 in breadth, and 30 in thickness through the middle of the breast, so similarly the Ark was made 300 cubits in length, 50 in breadth and 30 in height. In both of these the length is six times the breadth, and ten times the depth.

This is a proportion of which we have the numbers always before our eyes, and which we are able to demonstrate clearly on our fingers, where we are accustomed to apprehend the first lessons of natural arithmetic. For the whole sum of the fingers, which is 10, being multiplied by 3, makes 30 for the thickness, and multiplied by 5 makes 50 for the breadth; and multiplied by 10, and then again by 3, makes 300 for the length.

These measures also agree with what several grave authors have written on the same subject. Among others, Vitruvius reports that the stature of man is six geometric feet in length; the foot contains ten degrees, and each degree five minutes; which makes 60 degrees or 300 minutes, corresponding exactly to the 300 cubits of the Ark. Although I would rather not rely so precisely on Vitruvius as to give man a length of six geometrical feet, it is enough for me that his height may be divided in six equal measures. Pliny remarks also in Book Seven, Chapter 17, that the natural stature of a well-proportioned man accords exactly with the measure of his own arms from the fingertips of one hand to those of the other. In sum, all philosophers have made so great an estimation of this measure, and of the proportion of the human body, and have studied it so much in one way or another, that Pythagoras dared to name man “the measure of all things”.

As for the proportion of man’s weight, it cannot be doubted that this may also be observed with as much art as number or measure. This is easy to recognize, because it is man alone of all the animals who walks upright, in such a way that he always holds himself in counterpoise and balance in all his actions. Otherwise, he would be made awkward by them at every moment. For his structure is such that all his members (the arms excepted) become progressively heavier as they are raised up above the ground, so that lighter and weaker parts hold up others which are heavier and more robust. This would be a thing against Nature, and indeed insupportable over any period of time, with so many and diverse sorts of movements as one sees the human body make, if that body did not regulate its weight from the top of the head to the soles of the feet with a singular and perfect art.

A more complete discussion of this matter belongs to the anatomists, whose business it is to declare the particulars of this noble structure. We do not claim to expound any of this subject except that which touches on the exercise of arms. We are content to declare several things in general concerning it, notably touching its exterior proportions, to the end that once this is done it may be all the more easy to judge the nature and scope of each of the movements that proceed from it. Since these movements are sometimes made with the whole body, sometimes and more often with the arms and hands, and at other times with the legs and feet, we will demonstrate presently that men are able to make use of their necessary and useful movements in more ways, more easily, and more promptly than the other animals can.

Concerning this it is necessary to recognize that it is ordinarily and properly the office of the arms and hands to execute the commands of the will, in doing the actions which utility or necessity demand; and that the legs and feet do not commonly serve any purpose but that of carrying and turning the body, and of putting the arms and hands in places where the will intends their work to be done. Further, there is this difference, that the arms and legs are specially fitted to make large movements, just as the hands and feet to make smaller ones, and that the arms are particularly capable of executing what is needed with force, just as the hands are able for their part to work with dexterity.

The feet, as pillars which hold up the body, are nearly immobile toward the heels, but toward the toes they move quite readily, so that by the inequality of this structure the body is as able to strengthen itself above, by means of the one, as it is on the other hand to move and turn itself quickly and easily to every side, by means of the other. From both of these, again, the body receives great assistance by the proper length which they furnish to it as a stable and solid foundation when the body stands still, and when the body walks, they help to push it and give it its course.

The hands move with great agility in all their parts, and at their greatest width measure half the width of the face, or one-quarter that of the breast. When the hand is closed, the circumference of the fist will be a third of the circumference of the breast, so that it naturally is able to serve it as a shield for defense held out in front, either open and extended or well closed.

This is why the Jewish author Philo has occasion to say that in place of all the ornaments and natural defenses of the other animals, man has been given reason as a guide, and hands as instruments to execute that which reason wills. He says also that reason is the hand, so to speak, of the understanding; the hand of reason is speech, and the bodily hands are those which carry out what speech commands. These instruments, which contain in themselves all the sufficiency of those of other creatures, are in consequence equal to them in dignity, and indeed surpass them.

For this reason man comes into the world without any weapons at all, either offensive or defensive, and has nothing but the sole instrument of the hand, by means of which he is able to prevail over all. The other animals defend themselves and attack their opponents, some with teeth, others with claws, hooves or horns, as can be seen in elephants, lions, bears, horses, bulls, tigers and other beasts. To these Nature has handed out in a rather stingy fashion one sole kind of weapons to each, for the needs of its defense. To man, however, who seems to deprived of all these, she has given in recompense the understanding to recognize them, the mind to make them, and the hands to help himself by means of any and all of them.

Again, so that he may be able to help himself with greater advantage, Nature has given him by a special privilege the power to strike to the rear with his arms and to the front with his feet at the same instant, a thing impossible to other creatures. Also, for the same or similar reasons, the natural position of the arms is in such a place that the operations of the hands fall always under the government of the eyes, for the purpose of securing and assisting that much more easily the rest of the members in their necessities.

In the same way, therefore, all the artists, architects, perspectivists, and others mentioned earlier have tried to prove the foundations of their rules by the proportions of the body of man. We have similarly held to the same course, but with better success, and have found with the help of this same pattern the true and proportional measure of all the movements, times and distances which must be observed in our practice. This will be demonstrated to you all at once in the explanation of our circle,4 where the measures and proportions of man are applied to man himself, and to the movements which he makes with his own limbs, where the aforesaid proportions are found, and without which it is impossible for him to perform the least action in the world.

In practicing this exercise, as I have done for some years in many countries, and with great practitioners of the art — of whom some tend toward the French style, others to the Italian, and all in all, each one does in his own manner — I have seen that people are accustomed by all of these styles to strange postures: the body bent in several angles with feet and legs put out of their natural proportion, and in positions wholly repugnant to the ordinary way one walks or stands. Instead of showing any great courage by these postures, in fact, those who use them inconvenience themselves and lessen their own force, rather than obtaining through them the effect which these inventions claim.

Considering this closely, and knowing on the other hand that all the arts follow Nature, without ever contravening her, I have decided to conduct our exercise also in the same school of this sovereign mistress of good inventions. In this I have remarked first of all that all the measures and stances to be observed in this practice (which are the first foundations, and the basis for all the following parts) proceed from the proportions of the human body. Without recognizing this, it is impossible to learn to properly take up these measures and stances, or to practice them with assurance. It is the same with the pace and steps, ordinary and extraordinary, which the usage of the exercise and the variety of occasions may require. It is apparent, therefore, that it is necessary first to recognize the proportion of the members and parts of the human body, so that one may at the very least make some reasonable judgement of the scope of each movement in proportion to the member or members on which it depends, and from which it may be continued, ended, turned, returned, released, bent, or changed in any of thousands of other ways.

It is therefore necessary to learn first of all that the philosophers attribute to this Microcosm, the human body, diverse figures, of which the triangle, square and pentagon will be discussed elsewhere. For now, we say that the body is also round or circular in the figure of its movements.

To this accords the saying of Hippocrates, prince of physicians, that the body is a circle. This may be understood in regard to the natural actions and operations of its inner parts, and of their subordinate changes, reciprocal and succeeding one another in such a way that one can no longer find a beginning or an end, as in the circumference of a circle. It can also be related to the figure in all its movements in space, each of which takes place in a circle, extending from the center of its strength out to the extreme circumference of its weakness.

Now since it will presently be asked what gives you the measure which is convenient and proportional to the stature, situations, steps, and generally all the outward movements of the same body, here is the figure of our circle, which we say contains all the qualities just mentioned, and is drawn from the proper measure and proportion of the human body.

All mathematicians know that the circle is the simplest, first, and indeed the most perfect, most excellent and most useful of all figures for defense, since it only allows itself to touch a surface at one point at a time. A figure so accomplished ought not to be lacking in a body so noble, and indeed a circle can be demonstrated in the human body in diverse manners. Principally, this can be done from the length of the body at full extension, that is, when it stands upright on its legs, feet together, and arms extended straight up so that the elbows are level with the top of the head. When it stands in this way, either upright against a wall or extended in the same way on the ground, and one end of a large compass is placed at the navel and the other at the toes or against the soles of the feet, and the circumference is then drawn all around, it forms a circle, the center of which will be at the person’s navel, the diameter equal to the height at full extension, and the circumference touching the soles of the feet on one side and the tips of the fingers on the other. If this turns out not to be the case, the body is not properly proportioned according to the rules of composition.

That is the circle which we propose to use all through this book for skill in our exercise. Seeing that it is proportioned to the extended length of a man, we say also that it is proportioned to all the movements which he would know how to make, with arms and legs and with the entire body, or with any one of its parts.

It would be possible to draw many other circles from the proportions of man in diverse manners (such as by placing the center on the genitals, and the circumference at the top of the head and the soles of the feet). These cannot have the same sufficiency, nor the convenience of measures, as that which we have given here, because they do not have the proportion with the arms extended, which is obviously needed to execute the greater part of this exercise. For this reason, together with several other considerations, if it is a question of making use of this circle, it is necessary not to take up any other diameter than that which accords exactly with the body’s length at full extension.

Text messaging can improve access to prenatal health information, suggests study

Representative image

New York [USA], Feb 14 (ANI): Instant messaging apps have made life simpler for people in several ways, one of which includes access to information about prenatal health.
Findings of a new study reveal that pregnant urban African American and immigrant Afro-Caribbean women are more likely to receive the prenatal health information they need if they are given access to mhealth apps.
The study was conducted by the researchers of SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University School of Public Health and was published in the journal – JMIR mHealth and uHealth.
“Using Text Messaging to Improve Access to Prenatal Health Information in Urban African American and Afro-Caribbean Immigrant Pregnant Women: Mixed Methods Analysis of Text4baby Usage”, the study said.
This study aimed to understand the real-life experiences of pregnant urban African American and Afro-Caribbean immigrant women with accessing quality prenatal health care and health information; to assess usage of mHealth for seeking prenatal health information; and to measure changes in participants’ knowledge, perceptions, and behavioral intent to use the Text4baby mHealth educational intervention.
Beginning with a focus group of nine women, the investigators identified three barriers these women faced in getting quality prenatal health information including the quality of patient-provider engagement, a lack of social support, and acculturalisation of immigrant women.
“We discovered that inadequate engagement with their provider left these women feeling indifferent about the prenatal care and information they received in the clinical setting,” said the lead researcher Tenya M. Blackwell.
“Based on these findings, we developed a survey of 49 women to gauge whether an app like Text4baby might bridge this indifference,” added Blackwell.
The results of this survey showed 63% believed an app like Text4baby would provide them with the extra support they wanted during pregnancy. Additionally, on a Likert scale of 1 to 5, their perception of the usefulness, compatibility and relative advantage of using the app ranked at 4.26, 4.41 and 4.15 respectively.
In a follow-up survey to measure changes in knowledge, perceptions and intent, these women showed a 14% increase from earlier testing in reporting their intent to use the app, and a 28% increase in their intent to speak more with their provider about the prenatal health information they learned about on Text4baby.
“In today’s society, smart phones are ubiquitous and information delivered through them cuts across most social, cultural and economic barriers,” said the principal investigator Laura Geer.
“Even with a small sample size, these results clearly demonstrate how mhealth apps, focused on prenatal health, can go a long way in overcoming the economic, social and cultural barriers these women face in receiving the prenatal health information and care they need to have a healthy pregnancy,” added Laura Geer.

893.50 Recovery/7–1648

Memorandum by the Chief of the Division of Chinese Affairs (Sprouse) to the Director of the Office of Far Eastern Affairs (Butterworth)

A meeting was held in the Division of Chinese Affairs on July 14 to discuss means by which this Government could expedite assistance to China under the $125,000,000 grants, with officers from the Army and Air Force in attendance. There appear to be two main problems which will have to be resolved before the military services can materially assist the Chinese in their purchasing program. These are: 1) The establishment of a legal means by which transfer of matériel from military stocks can be effected and 2) the establishment of a priority for China which will enable it to receive a share of the limited supplier available for foreign military aid. These difficulties will be considered in order in the following paragraphs:

The fact that stocks now surplus in the Pacific are being declared to the Chinese and the existence of recently enacted laws making it impossible for the armed services to declare material in the United States surplus, definitely limit the possibilities of additional transfers being made from surplus. The armed forces believe they have no legal justification for making transfers similar to those being made to Greece and Turkey where supplies are transferred from non-surplus stocks upon reimbursement at procurement costs. Mr. Eichholz of the Department’s Legal staff indicated that section 404(b) of the China Aid Act 1948 exempted the $125,000,000 grants from the restrictions of the Economic Cooperation Act of 1948 but that it might be interpreted that they could be entitled to the benefits of that act [Page 114](Section 113a). He stated that this might provide the desired authorization. It was agreed that Mr. Eichholz would meet with legal representatives of the Budget Bureau and the Services and if all were in accord with respect to the existence under present legislation of this authorization the Budget Bureau would then be asked to obtain an adjustment of the Presidential terms to permit such transfers.
Army and Air Force officers indicated that should a legal vehicle be found for the transfer of military stocks, the availability of such for transfer to China would depend on the establishment of a priority for that country. It was noted that National Security Council document 14, approved by the Cabinet July 1, states that Western Europe shall receive first priority for the receipt of military aid. Army officers pointed out that it was probable that all available matériel would be needed to meet the requests of the Western European countries, and that in any case many months would elapse before the extent of their needs would be known. Similarly, the military services would not know the extent of their own requirements pending determination of troop basis figures now being prepared. It was agreed that it would be impracticable to delay action on Chinese requests until the above determinations had been made. It was likewise agreed that the SANAC study on priority now being prepared offered no solution, since it is not yet agreed upon and China will in all probability be placed after the countries of Western Europe and the Middle East. It was concluded that if China is to receive any material from military stocks, a special priority will have to be established to govern the expenditure of the $125,000,000 grants. Officers of Plans and Operations, Army indicated that a letter on the question of priorities had been drafted and if it is approved by Mr. Royall should reach the Department of State by Friday, July 16.

It was noted that when the Army’s views had been received they would be considered by the Policy Committee on Arms and Armaments which would make appropriate recommendations to the Secretary on the question of priority.

893.50 Recovery/7–148

President Truman to the Secretary of State

My Dear Mr. Secretary: I am in general in accord with the position expressed in your memorandum to me of May 14, 1948, regarding the provision of additional aid to China as authorized by Section 404 (b) of the China Aid Act of 1948. It is my desire that the grants to China under this section of the Act be made under the following procedures:

The Chinese Government will, from time to time, submit to the Department of State requests for payment with respect to commodities or services procured by it, supported by invoices or other appropriate documentation evidencing the transactions.
The Department of State will examine the documentation submitted by the Chinese Government to determine that the request is not in excess of the total represented by the invoices or other supporting data, and will authorize the Treasury to make the appropriate payments to the Chinese Government.
The Secretary of State will request from the Chinese Government monthly reports showing in as much detail as possible the purposes for which expenditures have been made out of the funds provided to it under the authority of Section 404 (b) of the Act.

Attached is a copy of my letter to the Secretary of the Treasury31 informing him of this procedure and making an allocation of $13,500,000 to carry out the provisions of Section 404 (b) of the China Aid Act of 1948.

Sincerely yours,

Harry S. Truman
  1. Dated June 2, Department of State, United States Relations With China Washington, Government Printing Office, 1949), p. 947.

S.H.Figuarts Yoshi by Bandai (Part 2: Review)

S.H.Figuarts Yoshi by Bandai Available From HobbyLink Japan

By Cacophanus from Mecha Damashii

Following the unboxing here is the review for Bandai’s latest Yoshi action figure. Like their other Super Mario toys, it is surprisingly well done and nicely articulated. It’s also nice to think that the Italian plumbers have some company finally.

As with Mario and Luigi, Yoshi hasn’t really had any action figures up until now. This is partly due to the design but also because Nintendo wasn’t really set up to do this kind of toy. So the partnership with Bandai has been a productive one as we now have some excellent figures of gaming’s arguably most loved characters.

Unlike the other releases, Yoshi doesn’t have any new play sets released along with him. You can still use the play sets to build levels for Yoshi though, so that’s something at least.

In general, this is a really nice toy of Yoshi. Despite the simplicity of the design, the articulation is nicely comprehensive, to the point that he can balance on one leg (as shown above). The signature tongue is a separate piece that has to be swapped out and the instructions warn of scratching the paint off, so be careful.

The big addition is the two separate “saddles” for Mario and Luigi. These are different due to the respective proportions of the two figures. Both sit well on the happy green dinosaur, too.

Bar that, Yoshi comes with a separate set of eyes and his mouth can open somewhat. As figures go it has tread the fine line to being faithful to the very simple original design and to work as a poseable toy.

If you’re a fan of Super Mario then you should totally get Yoshi — doubly so if you already have the Mario and Luigi figures.

The AFI DOCS Interview: #NEWTOWN Director Kim A. Snyder

June 1, 2016

On December 14, 2012, a 20-year-old gunman forced his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, and murdered 20 schoolchildren and six educators. In the aftermath of the killings, filmmaker Kim Snyder traveled to Newtown and trained her lens on a grieving community, following several families who came face to face with tragedy. NEWTOWN reveals both the indelible scars gun violence leaves behind and the resilience of people who come together to heal.

AFI spoke to director Snyder ahead of the film’s AFI DOCS premiere.

What led you to documentary filmmaking?

I was working on the production side of narrative filmmaking when a turn in my personal life compelled me to direct my first documentary. I have been doing it ever since.

What inspired you to tell this story?

I was drawn to the profound effects of collective trauma and the need for many people in Newtown to be heard on their own terms in an effort to make meaning out of the unthinkable. I wanted to pierce through a growing desensitization to these escalating incidents of mass gun violence through creating an emotional experience that humanizes the issue in a universal way.

How did your subjects?

It was like peeling an onion. In that first year, I did not feel comfortable penetrating the privacy of those most affected. My first connections were with the Interfaith community, which informed an intimacy and framing that was at once philosophic, existential and spiritual to some extent; it lent a holistic approach to a community wrestling with the darkest of journeys. Friar Bob, the priest who buried eight of the 20 children, was among those severely affected in terms of trauma. As I organically developed relationships with others through careful trust building, I began to develop a story of a town through a number of prisms, including that of parents of loss, educators, first responders, neighbors, youth — faces that render a portrait of any town and one that would redefine what it means to be a victim, while exploring the profound effects of survivor guilt and the resilience required to repair the social fabric of the entire community in the wake of the tragedy.

What was a particular obstacle you faced while making the film?

I faced a profound sense of responsibility in not wanting the process of the film to add to the ongoing trauma of those who participated, and in keeping my own psychological and emotion reactions to the material in check.

What do you want audiences to walk away with?

I want them to take away a profoundly emotional but rewarding journey to experience in their own community. I want them to experience perspective, anger and uplift from a community that offers profound truth and life perspective. Most importantly, I want them to leave with the conviction to participate in effecting change.

Why is Washington, DC, a valuable location to screen your film?

It is perhaps the most essential place for us to screen. Presenting an intimate exploration of the aftermath of the deadliest mass shooting of schoolchildren in American history in the seat of government and policymaking will be extremely powerful. We hope to maximize this potential.

ALMOST SUNRISE: Demonstrates the Power of Meditation & Nature in Healing “Moral Injury” of War

Inspiring New Documentary Almost Sunrise and Its Immersive Impact Campaign

Demonstrates the Power of Meditation & Nature in Healing “Moral Injury” from War

DC Premiere at AFI Docs:

Thursday, June 23 at 4:00 p.m. at Landmark E Street Cinema (Theatre 1)

Friday, June 24 at 6:45 p.m. at AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center (Theatre 3)

From the Emmy-Nominated Filmmakers of Give Up Tomorrow

Once in a while, a film comes along that breaks from the genre. War documentaries are usually somber pieces that explore the darkness of battle but few, if any, venture past the shadows. But a unique new film takes a rare, uplifting look at the life of veterans beyond their demons.

It’s a staggering statistic: 22 U.S. veterans take their own lives every day, which means, we lose more soldiers to suicide than to combat. Despite millions of dollars spent on the mental health of veterans, the crisis rages unabated. Almost Sunrise, a new feature documentary by the award-winning filmmaking team behind Give Up Tomorrow (a 2013 News & Documentary Emmy nominee) Michael Collins (director) and Marty Syjuco (producer), is a timely and groundbreaking look at what could be a missing piece of the puzzle—the true nature of the psychological wounds of returning soldiers known as “moral injury” and the undeniable potential power of meditation and nature therapy in helping veterans to reclaim their lives.

Almost Sunrise will make its World Premiere on Memorial Day weekend at the Telluride Mountainfilm Festival with one of the opening night slots on May 27 at the 650-seat Palm Theater, followed by screenings on May 29 and 30. The film will next make its East Coast Premiere at the prestigious Human Rights Watch Film Festival New York, June 11 and 13. It is also an official selection of the distinguished AFI Docs in Washington, DC, screening June 23 and 24. Along with its film festival premieres, Almost Sunrise launches an immersive two-year impact campaign.

“Our vision for the campaign is to walk with veterans on a path towards healing,” says Syjuco. “Our goals are three-fold: 1. Changing the Narrative; 2. Promoting Wellness; 3. Supporting Legislation (Veteran Wellness Act H.R. 2555).”

Almost Sunrise tells the inspiring story of two Iraq veterans, Tom Voss and Anthony Anderson, who, in an attempt to put their haunting combat experience behind, embark on an extraordinary 2,700 mile trek on foot across America. While the physical trek across snowy mountains and vast deserts is punishing, the inner journey proves to be, by far, the most dangerous mission they will ever undertake. Like many of their fellow returned servicemen and women, Tom and Anthony are tackling post traumatic stress, or PTS, but the pair are simultaneously dealing with an unseen battle scar called “moral injury”—often manifested as an extreme brand of guilt and shame that arises when one goes against one’s own moral code. While PTS, characterized by fear, can be treated with drugs, therapists are finding that no amount of medication can treat the pain that comes from carrying a moral burden. Almost Sunrise is the first feature documentary film to introduce the emerging term “moral injury,” what some experts believe may eventually be recognized as the signature war wound of our generation.

While the film exposes some of the brutality of war, it does not dwell there. “It’s ultimately a story of hope and potential solutions,” Collins says.  Most importantly, the film reveals the promise of holistic practices for healing. When Tom signs up for a special breathing workshop for veterans, he must confront his deepest spiritual identity. He encounters Father Thomas Keating, a renowned Trappist monk who has counseled veterans for decades, who gently illuminates the need to turn inward to achieve true peace, guidance that culminates in a remarkable transformation, rarely depicted on screen. Where the stereotypes of “the broken veteran” and “homecoming hero” leave off, Almost Sunrise continues onward, presenting audiences with an unprecedented portrait of those who return from war; richer, far more complex beings—driven by a universal human aspiration for happiness—who discover life’s soaring possibilities.

The Almost Sunrise Impact Campaign is a two-year initiative designed to educate and engage target audiences. The campaign will include the national broadcast premiere of Almost Sunrise in 2017 on the PBS documentary series POV (date and time to be announced), as well as an interactive multimedia exhibit including a photo essay, videos, audio, articles, educational curricula and more (dates and times to be determined.)

The campaign focuses on the following key goals:

Changing the Narrative

We are challenging stereotypes of veterans through public education, engaging communities through the use of screenings, panel discussions, visual and performance arts and partnering with targeted NGOs to use the film as a tool to support and promote their interrelated missions.

Promoting Wellness

We are challenging the dependence and possible overuse of medication to treat psychic wounds and promote the growing body of research and documented experience around the benefits of holistic practices and its as yet untapped potential to contribute to the healing of veterans.

Changing Legislation

We are working with Congressman Tim Ryan to support the Veterans Wellness Act (HR 2555) legislation that will improve the ability of Veteran Service Organizations (VSO) to promote good health among our nation’s veterans. These facilities are a place of comfort and familiarity for thousands of men and women and their families. The new legislation would expand upon the activities in which these organizations are currently engaged, and create greater opportunities for veterans to access wellness programs and therapies.

Director Michael Collins is an Emmy-nominated filmmaker and the founder of Thoughtful Robot, a production company specializing in social issue documentary films. Producer Marty Syjuco is from the Philippines. Their film Give Up Tomorrow (POV 2012) won the Audience Award and a Special Jury Mention for Best New Director at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival, a Media Award from Amnesty International, and was nominated for a 2013 News & Documentary Emmy Award for Outstanding Investigative Journalism.

consumers, may it bring a complaint for unfairness against a company. Utilizing these two principles, the FTC has developed a robust record of settlements that privacy professionals pay close attention to in order to determine best practices in the area of informational privacy. While settlements do not set precedent, their influence in the privacy community means that companies treat consent orders much like judicial decisions that have the weight of precedent. This is true even though consent orders do not require companies to admit to any wrongdoing. An added benefit of settling is efficiency, in that the FTC and the company in question do not have to tie up the courts and spend vast sums of money in litigation. Whereas the GDPR assumes that any data collection is suspect and therefore regulates it ex ante, the FTC focuses its enforcement efforts on sensitive information that should be protected against unwarranted disclosure. The US privacy system has a relatively flexible and non-prescriptive nature, relying more on ex post FTC enforcement and private litigation, and on the corresponding deterrent value of such enforcement and litigation, than on detailed prohibitions and rules. This system helps avoid imposing costly and draconian compliance mandates on entities which are not a priori threats to personal privacy, such as personal blogs, small businesses, and informational websites. The FTC’s approach seeks to allocate scarce regulatory resources to prevent the greatest threats to online privacy. To clarify, if a small entity behaves in an unfair or deceptive way, it can be prosecuted, but the FTC does not presume that every entity wants to harm online users. Several additional laws form the foundation on which the FTC carries out its charge: the Privacy Act of 1974, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. The American conception of privacy is predicated on ensuring the individual’s freedom from government intrusion and pushing back the growth of the administrative state. The framers’ distaste for excessive government power to invade the privacy of the people was forged into the Bill of Rights in the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments. These amendments responded to the egregious British abuses of personal privacy; including the quartering of soldiers in private homes, the search and seizure of colonists’ property, and forcing colonists to divulge information. Some of the first laws in the new republic constrained the government’s use of the census and its ability to compel information in court.

1. It was a beautiful weekend getaway with some of my close friends. We enjoyed the pool, the BBQ at night and a dip in the river near by. We also ate some delicious Kokan food not far from the cottage and were treated to a mouth watering breakfast by the cook at Hons Ranch. i liked how serene, green and quiet it was. ill definitely come back again during the monsoons 🙂

  2. The place was awesome and tucked away in the middle of greenery. Honora was helpful with the directions, meals and quick to respond to our questions.The swimming pool was shallow but fun. We also managed to have a barbeque which the caretaker helped us with…only May it was a bit too warm and humid without any air condition in any of the rooms. Ideal for the monsoon period…if it doesn’t get too humid…but overall it was a great and different experience..away from the city life…

  3. Love the pictures, brings back great memories of a beautiful place I have visited. I love the pool and cannot wait to revisit, I would recommend this to any one looking for a place to relax & enjoy nature along with family/ friends

  4. Hons ranch is such an amazing place!
    Its one of the few places left that gives you the chance to enjoy nature but at the same time stay close to home!
    The Directions given to the place were very easy to follow
    And the staff there are very homely and friendly.
    Its a place worth visiting throughout the year!

  5. Hons Ranch is an awesome getaway from the hustle and bustle of big city life. Wake up to the sound of birds and the rustle of leaves in the wind. Literally, put your feet up and chill under the cashew tree and then to lounge around by the pool or jump in and cool off. Traditional local cuisine cooked by the care takers and very interesting stuff to do in the neighborhood.
    You will never want to leave….

  6. On Dec. 23 2014, we experienced our second stay at this ranch. The first was during the peak of the monsoons 2012.
    – The private stream that runs through the property was fully grown, soothing, exhilarating, refreshing and offered an experience beyond compare. Having a dip in the stream after a sunbath, and then topping it up with your ‘spirits’ gives one a taste of nature’s wonder.
    – The pool is fun-tastic, clean, amidst the trees with a surrounding ambience that still keeps you in nature’s lap. Taking your tonics to the poolside with your starters & snacks adds to the fun.
    – The bungalow is done up in the olden day style (see the pictures on the site). A large ‘hall cum dining’ fully furnished, antique beds to accommodate 8 (luxuriously) to 10 (comfortably). 2 toilets & baths, a microwave, fridge, gas & cooking facilities, utensils, crockery, cutlery etc. you have it all. You have the caretaker couple who buy your provisions and cook them for you (at an additional fairly reasonable cost). They even do your ‘bar-b-cue’ if you ask them to.
    – The entire property stretches over the hill and can be a trekker’s delight. There are plantations of fruits & veggies, bamboo, teak and many others. The 4 dogs (if you befriend them) will escort you on your hikes & wanderings for a reasonable price (a few biscuits or anything that shows that you love them – they don’t accept currencies), to ensure that snakes & unwanted intruders are kept at bay.
    – Khamb, is a km away with a small eatery, but with food available at the bungalow, who wants to drive down after being well-appetized by the spirits. Kolad which has a railway station (on the konkan line) is about 4-5 kms away and has a petrol/diesel station. You can buy your tonics (most common brands are available) at the same rate as in Mumbai.
    – The best access is via the expressway and then from Khopoli to Pali, to touch the Goa Highway at Chakkan. You are then a few kms from the ranch which can be easily missed. We have requested the owner to put up a signboard ‘Hon’s Ranch’ for the benefit of all. Even we missed the ranch, despite coming the second time.
    – We were a family of 8 (all adults – parents, 3 children with their partners), so from ‘children’s point of view’, I wouldn’t be able to comment.
    – A rare combination of a self-contained bungalow in a densely forested area, accessible, yet lost in Nature, no one disturbing you or getting disturbed by you, the birds, the trees, a stream, a pool, and at a price which doesn’t pinch your pocket. You are all to yourself on that vast property, unlike in a resort. All that I can say is “We will keep going back for more, every time we get an opportunity”.

  7. We spent a lovely long weekend over Holi at Hons-ranch. Having planned the trip almost overnight we weren’t sure whether we would get any place at all for the 8 of us…The reply to the enquiry was quite prompt and the booking smooth.
    It was the perfect place for us, away from the crowds in Mumbai. The drive is about 3 hours. The space and peace here were exactly what we were looking for. The pool is definetely a big plus.
    We loved the fact that we could enjoy the local cuisine cooked fresh in the kitchen and avoid eating out. Though there are enough restaurants nearby we preferred hopping over to the village to shop and get the food cooked by the lady. Our girls loved playing with the dogs and lazing under the trees. Not to miss is a trek up the hills with Namdev, the caretaker and the barbecue under the stars.

    Do not expect anything fancy. It is a basic comfortable stay close to nature.
    The place is exclusive as it is kept like a home and not done up for commercial value.

    Would help to carry along board games, balls, rackets etc. if you are with a bunch of kids.

    Thanks Maria and Honora for sharing your beautiful home with us.
    We have discovered our escape from the city! Will visit again soon.

  8. We planned this trip just one day before leaving Maria aunty was really helpfull with the booking, explaining the route, different options to travel. Thank you aunty..
    We reached the house around 1:30 2 in the afternoon all my friends loved the house and the interior the best part about the house was the pool it was amazing. We just changed and jumped in the pool. The place was much better than you expected. The caretaker uncle was really sweet and helpfull there were these very friendly dogs. We had our lunch at kolad before reaching the house. For dinner we went out to this walkable dhaba called deepak the food was good not that great. All my friends loved the place the interior and everything. If your thinking to go away with family or friends this place is really good I can’t wait to come during the monsoons and see the private stream and try the caretakers Food.. Thank you Maria aunty.

  9. Guys.. It’s an amazing place to stay.. We were 8 people but at the end 2 of my friends canceled their trip… And now they regret not coming with us.. we went here in june…
    This place is not like a resort.. Bt it’s like more than a resort… You want to relax.. Feel the nature… Experience peace.. Then you’re at the right place.. The place was very clean.. The washrooms were clean and hygenic.. The pool in middle of the nature is cherry on the top ! You can also connect speakers near the pool and enjoy your pool party..
    A great place to chill , relax and a perfect getaway from the chaotic mumbai or any other city…
    The only problem is we need to carry our own food and groceries… You’ll mostly get all the things on the way… There are no good restaurants nearby so keep a good stock of food with you. The caretakers kamala aunty and namdev uncle are very helpful and kind.. They helped us made sandwhiches, pastas and rice ! They also made an amazing tea when we needed it with the cool breeze, cheerful surrounding and an beautiful whether !
    All the readers will love this place more as they have a good collection of books and novels.

    In short.. Jus arrange your food, rest everything keep it to experience !

    Thank you Mariah and Honora ! 🙂

  10. I came here with my two dear friends to celebrate my birthday and to get away from the city – a very last minute plan but so amazing.

    Its a basic bungalow with many beds and diwans to accommodate big groups of people like a giant slumber party and so incredibly reasonable yet clean and comfortable .

    The caretaker is such a lovely guy and his wife they took such good care of us, we gave them money to buy groceries and they cooked up delicious dinner breakfast and the main highlight was that they even arranged for a bbq in the evening.

    It has a lovely pool shallow but perfect to cool off in and very well maintained.

    Lotsa doggies that they cage during the day but let out at night to guard us, loved the dogs.

    It was a very special bday as I meditated and connected with very peaceful energies on the property.

    Thank you Maria and caretakerji 🙂

  11. 5 of us spent a weekend in the middle of August at Hons Ranch to celebrate my fiance’s birthday and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The quaint and comfortable bungalow is situated in the midst of a dense forest just off the Bombay-Goa highway. Though the best way to get there is via the expressway (Mrs. Maria’s detailed instructions made it very easy to find). A room and and a large living area constitute this bungalow which has a bunch of antique beds laid out in a homely fashion. If you do want something more ‘luxurious’ go, walk through the trail from the bungalow to reach the pool area. This shallow pool will call out to you all weekend, and it was a great experience right in the middle of the forest. There’s a plug point near the poolside so carry your music and you will be set for hours at end. The caretakers provided us with skewers and a BBQ grill which we fired up at night and enjoyed nice meal we grilled. Kamlaji the caretaker was sweet and helpful and cooked us a good breakfast the following day.

    Definitely going back to Hons Ranch as it’s not too far away from the city and a very soothing, different experience for a weekend getaway. Cheers!

Sands of Time “Rippleghan” Afghan

First of all, I hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day weekend!  I’ve been spending my weekend dodging rain showers and trying to get some photographs in of some of my designs.

Today I am happy to share with everyone a never before seen or published design I call the Sands of Time Rippleghan.  I wanted to design an afghan using what was, at the time, the Pantone color of the year– emerald green.  I didn’t want the emerald to be too dominant in the design though, because it was showing up everywhere.

The afghan is not as difficult to make as it may look– the trick is actually just in the color changes.

This afghan pattern is being offered for sale on Ravelry and Amazon.  I hope you like it!

NovaStor Releases DataCenter 6.0 Backup Software for Accelerated Data Restoration

NovaStor, an international provider of backup solutions, has released the latest version of its network backup software, DataCenter 6.0. NovaStor DataCenter software would accelerate the backup and recovery of business data in both physical and virtual environments.

The new software version builds upon existing cross-site backup and restore capability and adds new features to support the latest technologies for Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware.

DataCenter 6.0 features a decentralized architecture. Even in the case of a central database failure, Novastor DataCenter 6.0 would maintain the ability to restore through the use of distributed metadata. Additionally, when it comes to supporting small to medium sized businesses, cross-site media management has been added for “seamless” data retrieval.

Speed Enhanced for File and System Recovery

The new version, DataCenter 6.0 would allow users to quickly restore from media other than the original backup destination. For example, should a storage device become defective, with DataCenter 6.0 businesses can revert to an alternate disk pool. Also copies created outside of DataCenter to another location (such as a replicated NAS device) become available for data restore.

For reliable protection against data loss – including user error, technical failures and natural disasters – NovaStor always recommends following the ‘3-2-1 Backup Rule’. With three different backups, using multiple media types at two different locations, with one copy offsite, corporate data would be protected against local hazards. DataCenter 6.0 provides businesses who follow this strategy a single, uninterrupted restore path – regardless of the number of backups or locations.

Hyper-V, VMware Backup & Restore

With version 6.0, new technologies are introduced which would optimize the creation and restore of virtual machine images. In addition to restoring entire systems, users are able to use Single File Restore to pinpoint specific data for fast restore under both VMware and Hyper-V. The restore can also be assigned to a media pool which is on a completely different server than the VMware Proxy.

novastor cloud backupNovastor DataCenter utilizes a ‘single pane of glass’ interface to manage the entire network regardless of the technologies used, including Windows, Linux, Hyper-V and VMware machines. With the new version 6.0, businesses can now secure Microsoft Exchange 2016 with the ability to restore the entire application, but also individual mails. The new version fully supports the backup of Microsoft SQL 2016 as well as Hyper-V 2016 technologies.

With technical support based out of the U.S. corporate office in Agoura Hills, California – Novastor backup and restore experts support customers and partners with a team of experienced backup engineers. Users receive personal responses by email, phone or remote access in all matters relating to their backup environment.

“With the new version of DataCenter, backup administrators are now presented with a broader range of flexibility when it comes to recovering their critical data,” said Mike Andrews, Managing Director at NovaStor. “Components which are typically considered necessary for a fast restore to occur in competing solutions, such as the original backup files or a central database, are no longer absolute requirements. DataCenter’s unique architecture employs an intelligent fault tolerance that eliminates any obstacles that could typically prevent the successful and timely restore of data.”

By consuming Activia 2 pots each day during four weeks and maintaining a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle, Activia helps to improve digestive comfort. Bacteria, to get more than a hundred years seen only because a bane of individual existence - the reason for fatal illnesses and gut-cramping food poisoning - have, over the past decade, significantly become seen as benevolent life partners.

In past times, research on the relationship between the brain in our heads and the ‘second brain' in our bellies had only been conducted on rodents.

Meanwhile, Gil Sharon found that gut bacterias can shape the sex choices of flies Flies that are raised upon diets of starch prefer to mate with other starch flies” while individuals raised on maltose prefer maltose flies”. When Sharon dosed the flies with antibiotics, she killed both their gut bacteria and their sexual preferences. In the event that she inoculated the clean and sterile flies with the microbiome of their peers, their preferences reappeared instantly. It's possible that the bacteria impact the levels of sex pheromones that affect the fly's attractiveness.

But there are very few studies in humans. A recent organized review of all the individual studies showed the majority do not show any effect of probiotics upon mood, stress or symptoms of mental illness.
