Anthony Van Engelen (or AVE, as he's affectionately known) has been killing it at the Pro level ever since going Pro in 1999 at the age of 21 for Alien Workshop.
Van Engelen, a San Diego native, spent six months of his formative teenage years living in Russia without a skateboard. More than anything, it made him really appreciate skateboarding and he returned to the USA on a mission, turning pro four years later. Regardless of the era in skateboarding, AVE has always exuded a natural, raw style on his board -- he's like a bull charging at everything in his path. Van Engelen began riding for Vans in '05 and in '09 was honored by Transworld SKATEboarding with the Best Video Part of the Year award for his part in Alien Workshop's “Mind Field.” In 2013, he and Jason Dill starting making boards through Jason's longtime brand, Fucking Awesome. AVE is a certified --and certifiable -- classic.
Miami in 2000. We were partying and skating our balls off with Freddy [Gall]. It was an epic trip on all levels; I don’t know how anyone could stay out partying all night and still get that much shit done, but we did.
Everybody.

I don’t really read. I guess the last book I read half of was The Power of Now. It’s on Oprah’s Book Club so I had to read it.

Home TV & Showbiz Keeping up with the Kardashians
THE wait is almost over and reality TV’s favourite family are returning to our TV screens.
Here’s all you need to know about the sixteenth series of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
E! Keeping Up with the Kardashians returns for another explosive series
When will Keeping Up with the Kardashians season 16 be on in the UK?
Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 16 started on March 31, 2019 in the US.
As it airs a week later on this side of the Atlantic, the KUWTK season 16 UK premiere is TONIGHT (Sunday, April 7) at 9pm on E!.
The episodes will then air on TV every Sunday night at 9pm.
Hayu users will also be able to stream the series from April 1, 2019.
E! The aftermath of Khloe’s split from Tristan Thompson will be shown
What will happen on Keeping Up with the Kardashians season 16?
The new series of the long-running reality show will be worth the wait.
The trailer for Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ 16th season dropped on March 27, 2019, and unsurprisingly, there was A LOT of drama in it.
We will get to see the fall out from the Jordyn Woods and Tristan Thompson cheating scandal.
The trailer starts with a tearful Khloe saying in a confessional: “It just sucks that it has to be so public. I’m not just a TV show. This is my life.”
A montage also shows the moment the family host a dinner in celebration of Kylie and her best friend Jordyn’s successful joint business venture, before the Kardash-Jenner clan learn of Tristan and Jordyn’s alleged kiss at a party.
In gripping scenes, Khloe, 34, is seen sitting in her car screaming down the phone to someone: “My family is ruined!”, no doubt in reaction to the news that her basketball player beau – who was caught cheating on Khloe days before she gave birth to their daughter True in April last year – had been unfaithful again.
While the family wrapped the season a matter of weeks ago, the show films months in advance, so it isn’t likely to be addressed in full or shown at all until later in the season.

Will Kylie Jenner be on Keeping Up with the Kardashians season 16?
On March 27, 2019 it was reported that Kylie Jenner quit Keeping Up With The Kardashians so she could grieve her friendship with Jordyn Woods.
The makeup mogul, 21, only made a brief appearance in the show’s new trailer – and sources say she bailed out of filming to get over claims about Jordyn and Tristan.
A source told Us Weekly: “Kylie took a little break from filming Keeping Up With The Kardashians and recently got back into filming and it’s been a struggle and difficult.
“She was very upset about the situation with Jordyn and also just didn’t want to deal with it and have to address it.”

Bellefonte Residents Surprised by Loud Booms, Shaking
by: David Kaplan
Posted: Nov 2, 2018 / 07:12 PM EDT / Updated: Nov 2, 2018 / 07:12 PM EDT
Folks in the Bellefonte community say they’re feeling shaken after they heard what sounded like large explosions shook the ground yesterday.
Chuck witherite works at triangle building supplies, right next to Bellefonte High School.
At around noon Thursday, he says he and a co-worker heard the first of what would be five loud booms and shakes within two hours.
“We both jumped up and said what the heck was that? We went around looking to see who hit the building,” Chuck Witherite, Triangle Building Supplies, Sales Associate, said.
But there was no car crash.
Ross Litz, with triangle building supplies would not go on camera, but says the signs hanging from the ceiling started to shake and this sign fell off the wall.
Andy Nyblade, Professor of Geosciences at Penn State says these four graphs show seismic activity spotted at Penn State, Bald Eagle State Park, Kettle Creek State Park and Standing Stone.
He says this data makes it more likely the ground movement was caused from an earthquake, rather than some type of explosion.
“The fact that there 10 events within a day, and all of the data looked very similar, would suggest to us that they’re earthquakes,” Professor Nyblade, said.

Meridian Energy seeks dismissal of PSC complaint
BISMARCK -- Meridian Energy CEO William Prentice says the company no longer plans to build the Davis Refinery in stages, instead constructing the project in a single phase to refine 49,500 barrels of oil per day.
Written By: Amy Dalrymple / Bismarck Tribune | Aug 9th 2018 - 7pm.
The site of the Davis Refinery, pictured on July 31, 2018, is southwest of Belfield, N.D.. Tom Stromme / Bismarck Tribune
BISMARCK - Meridian Energy CEO William Prentice says the company no longer plans to build the Davis Refinery in stages, instead constructing the project in a single phase to refine 49,500 barrels of oil per day.
Prentice made the statement in an affidavit filed Wednesday, Aug. 8, with the North Dakota Public Service Commission along with a motion that seeks to dismiss a complaint against the company.
The Environmental Law & Policy Center and the Dakota Resource Council allege that Meridian is attempting to circumvent state law by building the refinery in stages to avoid scrutiny of the Public Service Commission. The complaint seeks to stop construction of the refinery until the company receives a siting permit from the PSC, which regulates refineries that process 50,000 barrels of oil per day.
Previously, Prentice told the PSC the company was designing a refinery capable of processing 27,500 barrels per day, with the potential for expansion in the future. Permit applications and statements to investors have referenced a capacity of 55,000 barrels per day.
Now Prentice says in the affidavit that Meridian is finalizing engineering and design plans for a refinery that will process no more than 49,500 barrels per day.
Meridian attorney Lawrence Bender argues in documents filed with the Public Service Commission that the complaint should be dismissed because the company has no plans to expand and hit the 50,000 barrel threshold that would require the regulators' review.
Public Service Commission Chairman Randy Christmann said commissioners will consult with legal counsel to determine the next step to take regarding the complaint.
"We have to really look closely at what the law is, what our jurisdiction is and what our options are and find our way through it," Christmann said.
Refinery opponents have argued that the refinery, which would be 3 miles from Theodore Roosevelt National Park, should have a thorough siting review by the Public Service Commission.
Preliminary site construction is underway near Belfield while this complaint and two lawsuits against Meridian Energy are pending. One lawsuit challenges the North Dakota Department of Health air quality permit and the other challenges the zoning permit from Billings County.

Six steps to DevOps success, analyzed
Getting to the ultimate state of DevOps -- automated delivery processes and self-service -- is a rocky road, not a superhighway.
By Joe McKendrick for Service Oriented | September 15, 2018 -- 15:17 GMT (08:17 PDT) | Topic: IT Priorities
Agile and DevOps: 7 tips for creating the right culture New strategies are changing how software projects are delivered, but choosing the right approach is key.
Every organization is different and for most, the DevOps journey isn't a smooth, straight line. There's no such thing as a "linear" DevOps journey. Rather, "there are many starts and stops along the way, which can kill early momentum and lead to cynicism."
What is DevOps and why does it matter?
New to some, old hat to many and a source of puzzlement to more than a few, there is no doubt that DevOps is a hot topic. Read on to find out what it's all about.
This is one of the key takeaways from a recent survey of 3,000 IT managers and professionals conducted by Puppet and Splunk Inc., which documents the DevOps journey, from start to finish. The study was underwritten by Amazon Web Services, Cloudability, Cognizant, CyberArk, Diaxion, Eficode and Splunk.
Also: Where does DevOps start? Not where you think
As a refresher, DevOps is best defined as "a set of practices that automates the processes between software development and IT teams, in order that they can build, test, and release software faster and more reliably." (This nice concise definition courtesy of the folks at Atlassian.) DevOps harnesses the creative energy of developers and channels it into cadenced releases as required by the business.
There is one common denominator all successful DevOps enterprises have, the researchers find -- a culture of collaboration and sharing across any and all fiefdoms. "The practices with the most significant impact across the entire DevOps evolutionary journey are dependent on sharing, one of the key pillars of DevOps," the survey reports authors state. "Organizations that have small pockets of DevOps success, yet never manage to spread that success further, are stalled and can't progress to higher levels of automation and self-service. So the business impact of their DevOps success may not be felt where it matters."
Tellingly, those higher up in organizations often think they have DevOps in force, but those people further down in the trenches don't necessarily see it that way. "C-suite respondents were more likely to report that DevOps practices were in frequent use," the survey's authors find. For example, 64 percent of C-suite respondents believe that security teams are involved in technology design and deployment versus 39 percent at the team level. Additionally, 54 percent of C-suite respondents believe their organization automates security policy configurations versus 38 percent at the team level.
Also: A proactive flavor of DevOps grows at Google
The survey report's authors identified the six key stages of DevOps progression. About 11 percent fall into the most advanced category, which likely means they have highly collaborative teams functioning across their organizations, and offer tremendous self-service capabilities as well to practitioners. That means 89 percent have plenty of work to do, and 10 percent are really struggling:
Building the foundation: "When development and operations teams -- and frequently other stakeholders, such as testing or security -- are just starting to grasp the importance of collaboration and sharing, they rapidly implement technologies and processes to facilitate sharing of ideas, metrics, knowledge, processes, and technologies."
Normalizing the technology stack: "Dev teams make a coordinated move to more agile development methods (e.g., an enterprisewide Agile mandate), or a few teams organically adopting new methods for specific products or workflows. Development teams at this stage have adopted version control,which is the first step on the path to continuous integration and continuous delivery. They're also beginning to normalize their tech stacks by eliminating redundant systems, perhaps refactoring applications to work on a smaller set of operating systems."
Standardizing and reducing variability: "Both dev and ops teams concentrate on reducing variance, continuing to standardize the tech stack by further reducing the number of operating systems to a single OS or OS family and building on a standard set of technologies: databases, key value stores, message queues,identity stores and more."
Expanding DevOps practices: With new levelx of trust engendered through DevOps, "important cultural shifts can take place in the organization. For example, individual team members can gain the ability and organizational permission to do work without manual approval from outside the team, eliminating bureaucratic overhead and promoting more efficient workflows."
Automating infrastructure delivery: "Systems configuration and provisioning are automated, which "resolves the issue of developer throughput outpacing operations, and therefore the ability to deploy. Automated system configuration makes it possible for ops teams to deliver systems to developers and QA that match the eventual production environment -- and deliver them faster."
Providing self-service capabilities: Infrastructure automation "catalyzes the creation of self-service more broadly throughout the organization in subsequent stages. At this stage, resources are available via self-service, and incident response is automated. With self-service capabilities, teams across the business can work at their own pace, freed from the bureaucratic overhead of manual approvals, handoffs, tickets and long wait times."
The survey report's authors also make the following three key recommendations to move DevOps from isolated teams to a wider scale across enterprises:
Start with the practices that are closest to production; then address processes that happen earlier in the software delivery cycle. "We recommend starting where the pain is most acute and visible, which is typically application deployments -- the boundary between dev and ops."
Encourage cross-team sharing is key to scale DevOps success."To ensure you can scale your early success, prioritize the building blocks that can be reused and consumed across teams,such as deployment patterns. Promoting reuse of successful patterns, enabling teams to contribute improvements to other teams' tooling, and sharing both successes and failures are all critical to expanding the other three pillars of DevOps: culture,automation and measurement.
Automating security policy configurations is mission-critical to reaching the highest levels of DevOps evolution. "Highly-evolved organizations are 24 times more likely to always automate security policy configurations compared to the least evolved organizations. This finding underscores how as organizations evolve, security policy becomes a part of operations, not just an afterthought when an audit looms," the survey report's authors point out.
Also: DevOps: A cheat sheet TechRepublic
Here is some poetic prose one can ascribe to the DevOps movement, expressed by the report's authors:
"Most successful DevOps journeys start as a ripple in the pond, then radiate out across the business. Individual teams see early success; that success spreads to multiple teams, then through a department, and finally out to multiple departments."
The bottom line is that DevOps doesn't just happen overnight; it's an evolutionary process that needs to be built and mastered over a period of time, often with trial and error. Every organization has a different mix of talent, motivations, and, of course, technologies.

Actress Talks About Stage IV Metastatic Cancer in PSA
By Alexandra Gekas
In March 2007, actress Marcia Strassman was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer when the cancer cells had spread to her bones. Usually, the breast cancer primarily metastasizes to the bones, lungs, lymph nodes, liver or brain and is often fatal.
Over three years later, however, the actress, who has been in in the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids franchise as well as on the show Welcome Back Kotter, is still alive with the help of medications and regular medical checkups. And she has joined forces with Stand Up to Cancer to find a cure. Check out this exclusive video of behind the scenes while shooting a PSA for the cause.
To get involved, you can go to StandUp2Cancer.org. And to find out more about breast cancer, check out our article "20 Things You Didn't Know About Breast Cancer."

‘I Tried Living Zero Waste For A Month: Here’s What Happened’
What the reality of reducing your waste footprint is actually like.
By Ally Head
Zero waste is a rising topic on the 2018 agenda thanks to the heartbreaking scenes in Blue Planet and Theresa May’s pledge to eliminate plastic waste by 2042.
More than 300 million tonnes of plastic is produced every year—half of which is for single use only and 5m tonnes of which ends up in the oceans. In the UK alone, in just two hours we produce enough waste to fill the Royal Albert Hall. Last month, the UN declared it a ‘planetary crisis’.
Rise in the number of your Monday morning essential Costa Americanos has resulted in 2.5bn disposable cups being thrown away every year in the UK. Shockingly, only 1% are recycled. So what’s the problem? Well, plastic takes at least 450 years to break down and a maximum of forever. Statistics estimate that by 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the sea.

Living zero waste, in short, means trying to reduce your waste as much as possible.
That includes being mindful of any waste you produce that can’t be recycled or composted—be it the plastic your vegetables are packaged in, the straw that comes with your Thursday night G&T or the box that held your Itsu lunch. Zero waste encourages re-gifting clothes, reusing and repairing, rather than sending rubbish to landfills or incinerators.
And it’s working. Doorstep deliveries of glass milk bottles have risen 25% in two years, according to Dairy UK. Ordering from the milkman and reusing glass bottles, rather than throwing away plastic, is one way of reducing your waste. But what else can you do to do your bit?
This could include things like:
Using a reusable coffee cup, like a KeepCup
Carrying a non-plastic water bottle and refilling it so that you don’t add to the 60 million plastic water bottles that are sent to landfill every day
Using a canvas tote for your shopping, rather than paying for a plastic one
Taking your own pots and Mason jars to zero waste supermarkets to package fruit, veg and other provisions in and in turn avoiding unnecessary plastic packaging
Avoiding plastic straws
Meal prepping your lunch from home. Not only will you be saving money, you’ll be avoiding the waste that comes with packaging your food
Carrying a fork and spoon for your lunch to avoid plastic cutlery
Use solid bars of shampoo, conditioner and soap and avoid plastic bottles
Carrying a handkerchief to avoid wasting tissues.
Why? For many different motivations and factors, but primarily because humans are overproducing waste and do not have proper means of disposing of it. What’s more, the waste disposed at landfills is creating record high levels of greenhouse gas emissions which in turn are causing harmful climate-altering consequences.
Even if being an eco-warrior isn’t your thing, there are other motivations for reducing your waste. At Pret, you get 50p off your coffee if you take in a reusable cup. That’s half price coffee. By opting for a MoonCup and avoiding sanitary waste, you save hundreds of pounds a year on tampons and pads. And by avoiding products made or wrapped in plastic, you’ll save money all round, actually. Kathryn of blog Going Zero Waste has saved over £8,600. By stopping paying for anything that ends up in the bin, as she puts it, she’s stopped paying for rubbish.
Don't let the concept seem baffling or, well, intimidating.
Want to find out more about what it’s actually like to live zero waste? WH spoke to Annie Clark, yoga teacher and newly converted zero waste-r, to find out.
Image credit - @trashisfortossers
ANNIE’S ZERO WASTE STORY
“Over the past year or so, I’ve become increasingly conscious of my day to day waste, particularly as I live my life on the go, eating and drinking out between teaching classes.
‘I have made conscious steps to reduce my waste – I carry a Swell bottle, a coffee cup, my own cutlery and shop in local greengrocers to reduce the amount of packaging I’m responsible for – but it’s not enough.
“When it comes to the zero waste movement, I think I was intimidated by the label. What I could see was people so fully committed to the movement as a lifestyle and I felt destined to 'fail' if I tried the same.
“Being totally honest, I questioned whether I’d always be willing to make a zero waste choice so instead, I decided to make small, manageable changes when I could without trying to quantify anything.
MY #NOTIMETOWASTE INITIATIVE
“To keep me on track and encourage others, I launched a new year initiative called #notimetowasteinititiative. I was inspired by yoga philosophy. There’s a personal restraint in the yoga sutras, laid out by Patanjali, that translates to non-greediness. One of my teachers mentioned it before Christmas and it really struck a chord with me.
“If you really think about it, we have an abundance of ‘things’ in our lives. I have so much more than I need, whether that be yoga clothes or food in my cupboards. I started to think about how I could practice non-greediness a little more in my day-to-day life and it flowed to this.
SMALL STEPS TO ZERO WASTE
“I wanted to put my own convenience on the back burner and considering the planet before myself. So I started exploring my waste reduction. It’s really simple to start—focus on consuming consciously rather than producing waste for the sake of personal convenience. For example, carry around a water bottle rather than buying and disposing of a plastic bottle a day. That’d be 365 plastic bottles a year—you’d be shocked how quickly things can add up.
WHAT I’VE LEARNT ABOUT ZERO WASTE SO FAR
“I've learned a lot about how waste works. For example, some cardboard can go in the compost, and the zero waste movement doesn't mean that you don't waste anything at all. It really can be as simple as forgoing a plastic coffee cup every morning or choosing non-packaged fruit and veg at the supermarket. You get 50p off your coffee at Pret and 25p off at Starbucks if you bring in your own cup.
“I’ve learnt that the focus isn’t stopping your waste entirely, but reducing it as much as you can do comfortably. The key to all of it is reduction, which feeds back to this idea of non-greediness. If we don't consume excessively, waste is less of an issue.
“I’ve realised that no effort is ever wasted. As long as you are doing your best, you are making a difference. It isn't about suddenly jumping into a lifestyle where you can fit 5 years of waste in a jam jar, but about step-by-step changes in consumption and attitude to help us move in the right direction
ZERO WASTE: THE GOOD AND THE BAD
“When you commit to anything, there will always be someone that tries to call you out.
“For example, I was trying to buy a composter for the garden as my local council doesn't offer a food waste recycling programme. I tried to hunt around online for something I could buy locally but there weren’t any I didn't need to drive to get. So I ordered one from Amazon.
“I received messages saying I shouldn't have done that, but truthfully I was doing the best I could on the budget that I had. This for me was a good reminder that zero waste isn't about being perfect but about doing what we can. Small changes make all the difference.
“That's the most important thing: to share your experiences, because we can learn so much from what others find hard. It also serves as a reminder not to lose sight of the bigger picture if you can't be perfect.
MY TOP TIP FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO REDUCE THEIR WASTE?
“Don't worry about trying to do everything at once. Start with things that are easy, or choose a couple of ways that you can help. For example, try a MoonCup, carry your own cutlery or use a canvas bag. It's amazing how you start to notice what zero waste can mean as you get into it.
“Don't try to be perfect. Just do what you can and remember no effort is ever wasted.
Imae credit - @trashisfortossers
ZERO WASTE RESOURCES
“You can get ideas via hashtags like #notimetowastesinitiative, #zerowaste and #zerowastelifestyle online. Read blogs Trash is for Tossers, Going Zero Waste and Litterless for inspiration from people who have adopted a zero waste lifestyle years ago.
“You can be inspired by looking at these people, but it's also easy to be overwhelmed by their efforts. The best thing is looking at your day to day lifestyles and seeing what we can change. If you want to get inspiration then have a Google. You won't be short of things to read and listen to.
“We are heading fast to crisis levels on our planet. We all have to take responsibility for our impact on the earth. This is just one aspect, but I believe we can really make an impact.
“That's what I am trying to do and I'm inspired by others that are doing the same.”

Bio healing in Bled
Published on: Friday, August 5, 2016
Following Noel Edmonds' claims that a magnetic pad can cure cancer, Jane Alexander explores whether Zdenko Domančić's bio-energy healing weekend in Bled Slovenia makes for miracle cure or esoteric bullshit.
A small boy races across the room, his trainers flashing neon green. He’s just like any other six-year old except that he’s running on crutches. Around 50 people sit around the edges of the stuffy conference room, a fair few in wheelchairs. A man comes in, pulling an oxygen tank alongside him. I slide into a seat at the back and watch.
Most visitors to Bled in Slovenia spend their time enjoying the scenery and the sights. It’s almost Disneyesque with its wildflower-peppered meadows and its fairytale castle perched on a crag over the lake. The lake itself winks beguilingly, begging you to hike its perimeter (an easygoing two hour walk), swim in its silky water or take a gondola-style boat out to the little island with its church (ring the bell and apparently your wishes will come true).
Yet everyone here is holed up indoors, patiently waiting their turn for a dose of ‘bio-energy healing’. It’s a package run by the Hotel Lovec (part of the Best Western Premier chain) and it’s hugely popular: many people come back time and time again to attend the twice daily healing sessions by Zdenko Domančić and his team. A lecture by Domančić and a sightseeing tour are thrown into the package and, on the face of it, it’s a pretty good deal. The hotel isn’t drop-dead stylish but it’s comfortable, friendly, and has a great restaurant and a rather nice spa (with a slightly incongruous Thai theme).
Zdenko Domančić, originally from Croatia, is a burly 65-year old with rock star billing – his face stares broodingly from monolithic posters and people hang on his every word. Aside from the children, everyone is sitting yogi-style, palms upturned in their laps. I look quizzically at the woman next to me and she gives an encouraging smile. ‘Turn your hands up,’ she whispers. ‘It opens you to the energy in the room.’ She gestures over at Domančić who is standing over an elderly man, making sweeping movements as if he were brushing away something nasty. ‘He is the best man in the world,’ she adds, nodding firmly. ‘The very best.’ I smile politely and obediently present my palms to the energy of the room.
Domančić speaks with a deep rumble of a voice. ‘Everything is energy,’ he says. ‘And we treat everything the same – from diarrhoea to cancer, from AIDS to autism.’ Bio-energy healing, he says, simply puts the body ‘back in order’, restoring balance. ‘Every cell holds information about the entire system. If you restore the original environment, you will fix the energy field. Your body will heal itself.’
Domančić catches my sceptical frown. ‘We are not weirdos,’ he says, wagging a stern finger. ‘It’s quantum physics. We’re conducting agents for energy. When there’s not enough energy, we are sick. When there is no more energy, we die. All information is energy. We can heal anything – trees, animals…we upgrade the system, if you like.’
Domančić has a team of healers working at four stations around the room. They usually work in pairs but, every so often, a whole bunch of them swoops in to ramp up the healing factor.
I watch as Domančić stands behind a young woman and makes ‘come to me’ moves with his hands. She starts arching into an extreme back bend before losing her balance. He smiles, moves in front of her and gestures again. This time she bows down towards Domančić, seemingly completely under his control. It smacks of stage hypnosis, of manipulation and it makes me distinctly uneasy. Domančić wanders over to me, leaving the woman immobile, bowed down in the centre of the room. ‘It breaks down scepticism in people,’ he says with a sardonic smile. ‘Their mental concrete can start to crack when they see energy in action.’ Even so, once released the woman is visibly shaken and comes away close to tears.
[IMAGE 6794152]
It’s my turn. Domančić beckons me forwards and asks me to walk up and down. He asks if I have cold feet (yes, sometimes), any ovary problems (hmm, yes, according to a recent scan), bladder issues (thankfully no, but now I’m worried), occasional heart palpitations (yes), heavy legs (not really). He reckons I’m badly dehydrated (that’s highly likely). So far, so perceptive but he hasn’t picked up on my major problem – a bad shoulder impingement that’s keeping me awake at night. He places his hands on my shoulder and I feel a tingling in my hands and a warmth spreading around the shoulder. I stand up, I sit down. I stand up again. Domančić and a helper perform a series of movements over me and my shoulder feels a little easier. I go back to my seat wondering if it’s for real or just my wishful thinking.
Across the room I spot a couple cradling a young child. Marco and Barbara Foxon tell me that they come to Bled every couple of months from Dartford in Kent with their son Luca. Aged 3, Luca has cerebral palsy. ‘I was hugely sceptical at first,’ says Marco, ‘but Zdenko spun me round; I could feel the energy working.’ But has the healing helped Luca? ‘Oh yes,’ says Barbara. ‘He has made a huge improvement – it’s like it opened up something. His sitting is better, he is stronger and his speech has improved – he’s generally much more aware of things. Our physiotherapist is amazed.’
I hope it works for them, I really do. Back in my seat, I turn to the couple behind me. Tall and blonde, with striking good looks, they sit calmly with their two young daughters. ‘My husband had a brain tumour, and we have been coming here for 12 years,’ says Mojca Sprem from Ljubljana. ‘He has had an MRI every year, and he is now well’.
Everyone I speak to believe in miracles yet I still can’t shake off a feeling of unease. It just smacks of a cult, not helped by the fact that Domančić’s assistants call him ‘Master’ and all wear wooden pendants with his face etched into the wood. He and his team have treated well over a million people (‘a small nation’ as he puts it) – but many of those have been cured? After a raft of sessions from Domančić and his team, my shoulder hasn’t improved at all. They don’t seem too concerned; rather they suggest that I should come back and learn how to do the healing myself.
I’m shown a thick file of testimonials from doctors, professors and researchers, including Dr Igor Bartenjev from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ljubljana (according to Google he is now in private practice as a dermatologist) and London-based immunologist Roger New. I try to contact them to clarify their statements but there is a deafening silence.
Professor Edzard Ernst MD, by way of contrast, responds as fast as a ferret up a drainpipe. The Emeritus Professor from the University of Exeter and renowned quackbuster says unequivocally: ‘None of the claims made by Zdenko Domančić and his healing method is supported by sound evidence. The desperate patients who spend their money for such quackery are being misled and exploited. I find it hard to think of any behaviour that is more unethical and more disgusting.’
Should you spend four days holed up in a conference room with the Domančić crew? There isn’t such an easy answer to that. Should you make sure you pay a visit to Bled? Absolutely. It’s a fabulous place for a healthy break, with loads to do, great food (Slovenia borders Italy and Austria so there’s great pasta, pizza, cake and wine, alongside hearty stews) and seriously friendly people. With a healing energy all of its own, it’s sheer magic (no miracles required).
Lake Bled:
The Best Western Premier Hotel Lovec (www.kompashotel.com) offer a three-night package with half-board (buffet breakfast and dinner), group biotherapy sessions and lecture by Zdenko Domančić from 271 Euros per person (based on two sharing). This package runs all year round apart from during July and August.
A return taxi from Bled to Ljubljana airport costs approximately 50 Euros.
Easyjet flies to Ljubljana from several UK airports (www.easyjet.com).

Five Considerations for Successful Identity and Access Management Architecture
Steve Brodson
Featured, Identity & Access, Security
Learn about the five pillars necessary to incorporate IAM holistically into your organization.
Architecting an effective Identity and Access Management (IAM) capability for the enterprise requires carefully balancing the organization’s risk management requirements against the need to not overcomplicate the end-user experience. With the requirements imposed by diverse technologies like remote network access, public cloud infrastructure, software-as-a-service, Internet of Things and mobile devices, today’s IAM often involves integration of multiple identity sources and tools leading to additional complication. Under these conditions, architecture requires a holistic approach that carefully selects processes and technologies that work well together. What might this architectural approach look like?
Effective IAM seeks to ensure that the right level of access is given to the right enterprise resources: the right people, in the right context and at the right time. Achieving this objective requires integration of processes and technologies around five important capabilities:
Lifecycle and governance
Federation, single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA)
Network access control (NAC)
Privileged account management (PAM)
Understanding these capabilities, and how they interact with each other, is a significant first step toward building an IAM strategy that effectively balances risk management and user experience.
Associating Identity with Entitlement – Lifecycle and Governance
Digital identities are the central source of truth for all IAM components. The people, processes and technologies that fit together to manage and govern these digital identities provide the foundation for effective IAM. Lifecycle refers to the policies, processes and technologies for provisioning, modification and de-provisioning of digital identities in an organization. Governance is responsible for establishing the requirements for identities and assuring their reliability in line with the business objectives and risk landscape of the organization. Together, lifecycle and governance provide a foundation for all other IAM components by defining digital identities and specifying how they must be managed.
Establishment of an IAM governance council, made up of stakeholders responsible for creating IAM policies for the organization, is often the first step of setting up an IAM program. To be effective, this council must be broad enough to exert authority throughout the organization. It also must be authorized to establish policies that mitigate risk while being highly visible throughout the organization. Simple executive sponsorship may not be enough.
Such policies affect each of the other four components of IAM. They define requirements for authentication and authorization, including privileged authentication throughout the enterprise. They embody the organization’s risk tolerance in the application of NAC and encryption. As such, lifecycle and governance are a critical starting point for the development of a comprehensive IAM program.
Verifying Identity – Federation, Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Assuring that users who access enterprise resources are who they say they are is one of the primary functions of IAM. With the proliferation of applications and services on premise and in the cloud, users must keep up with an ever-growing number of identities and access credentials. This can create a significant security risk as users tend to adopt insecure methods for keeping track of credentials (e.g. unencrypted document on devices, handwritten post-it notes on monitors, etc.) A compromise of credentials represents one of the most common causes of cybersecurity breaches today. Tools such as federation, SSO and MFA allow organizations to reduce this risk while simplifying user interaction.
Federation refers to establishing trust between identity providers to allow a user or system to authenticate to one domain and seamlessly access other trusted domains without re-authenticating. It can allow for authentication across different organizations with an extension of trust. It can also prevent having to manage (and have users keep track of) duplicate identities. At the same time, federation comes with risks of its own. For example, when federation extends trust between organizations, it can potentially expose sensitive information[AP3] across organization boundaries.
SSO goes a step further than federation. It relies upon an application to provide a single, uniform identity that can be used for authentication and authorization across multiple systems. Organizations rely upon SSO technologies to unify the process of authenticating to enterprise resources whether they reside on premise, in the cloud, or are provided as a service. SSO reduces risk by providing users with a single set of credentials and by providing a central place where authentication and authorization can be tracked.
MFA helps to mitigate identity risk by requiring additional authentication methods combined with credentials for authentication. Selection of an MFA technology requires striking a balance between the level of risk mitigation required and the level of burden placed upon users.
Controlling Access to the Enterprise Edge – Network Access Control (NAC)
NAC provides access management by requiring authentication and authorization before allowing access to the network. It provides granular visibility into who is on the network and their associated devices. Through a function called posturing, it can allow visibility and control into what kind of device is connecting and how that device is configured.
NAC “puts the teeth” into IAM by acting as a crucial control point at the edge of the enterprise. It controls the logical networks a device can access, can quarantine devices and can “kick them off” the network. NAC can interact with other elements of the network and security architecture to apply access control lists, integrate with unified threat management, and provide APIs that connect with other products for automation and orchestration.
Enforcing Principle of Least Privilege – Privileged Access Management (PAM)
A fourth significant component of IAM is Privileged Access Management (PAM), or controls on privileged access to applications, networks and systems. System and user accounts are the basic unit of enforcement in PAM. As a best practice, accounts are assigned as granularly as possible to control and track access to resources in the enterprise.
Effective PAM aligns closely with the separation of duties within an organization. User accounts get only as much access to technology resources as they need for completion of the tasks associated with their purpose. System administrators or users with administrative functions are added to roles that extend their privileges or use secondary accounts with administrative privileges to perform functions. Non-user accounts called “service accounts” are used for resource-to-resource communications such as API calls.
PAM connects closely with the other elements of IAM. Governance is needed to develop policies that define the access to be provided, align the deployed controls with the risks and ensure consistency across the enterprise. SSO and NAC work together with PAM to remove gaps that could allow unauthorized escalation of privileges and to ensure that user experience does not become unnecessarily tedious.
Protecting Data at Rest and In Transit – Encryption
Encryption is the fifth critical pillar of IAM. While NAC establishes boundaries that prevent unauthorized connections, encryption protects access to data and communications regardless of where they reside. This can include data in transit and data at rest inside or outside of the traditional network perimeter. In this way, encryption supports holistic IAM architecture by adding a tool to the architect’s IAM toolbox – placing controls on data and communications that would otherwise be difficult to protect.
Holistic IAM architecture also provides answers to several of the most significant challenges in securely deploying encryption. Encryption of data-at-rest only really applies when the unauthorized user does not have sufficient permissions to access the data in the first place. Effective governance must ensure that access privileges are not granted too broadly. PAM ensures that unauthorized users cannot escalate their privileges to decrypt the data. Likewise, holistic architecture is needed to protect encryption’s Achilles’ heel: key management. Effective PAM is the only way to ensure that private keys remain accessible only when needed for administration purposes.
With the critical role identity plays within an organization, thinking holistically about IAM architecture is necessary to secure the enterprise. Each of the five pillars covered above should be considered with capability gaps and overlaps identified.

The international breakthrough for the Russian-American pianist Kirill Gerstein came as early as 2010 when he won the Gilmore Artist Award. The highly endowed Award is presented to exceptional pianists after an extended period of observation of their concert performances. The New York Times described Gerstein as “one of the most accomplished pianists of his generation”. He started his training at Berklee College of Music in Boston as the youngest student of jazz piano at the age of only 14. Later on, the versatile musician with many talents and interests opted for classical music. Since his first appearance in Poland at the tender age of 11, Mozart’s piano concertos have always accompanied him. Another exceptional talent of the young generation will be seen conducting the Wiener Symphoniker during the performance of Mozart’s Piano Concerto in D minor: Lahav Shani, the principal guest conductor of the Orchestra.Furthermore, Shani will dedicate himself to the Third Symphony by Johannes Brahms and the symphonic poem Les préludes by Franz Liszt.

Lionel Messi Reportedly Set To Marry The Mother Of His Kids, Antonella Roccuzzo.
Michael B.
Barcelona star and world football icon, Lionel Messi is reportedly set to marry his childhood sweetheart Antonella Roccuzzo next summer.
According to Mirror UK, the wedding is expected to take place in their native city of Rosario in Argentina where they met as children through Lucas Scaglia, Antonella’s footballer cousin and a close friend of Messi.
Local journalist Juan Pablo Varsky broke the news on Wednesday on a radio programme.
City newspaper La Capital said it had confirmed the union with a relative of the footballer’s who told them: “It’s true, there’ll be a wedding the middle of next year.”
Leo’s birthday of June 24 is already being talked about as the most likely date. Messi is expected to return to Rosario around June 12 next year after completing a tour with his club.
The entire Barcelona squad is expected to be invited to the wedding along with some ex-players and most of Argentina’s national squad.
The city cathedral is being touted as a possible venue for the wedding with the subsequent party expected to take place at the Messi family home in Arroyo Seco near Rosario overlooking the Parana River.
There has been no official confirmation yet from Antonella and Leo, who started dating in 2008 and have two children Thiago, 4, and Mateo, one.
The 29-year-old footballer, one year older than his long-term partner, first met supermarket owner’s daughter Antonella when he was nine.
He used to write love letters to her as a teenager but they didn’t formalise their relationship until he was 21. They didn’t confirm they were dating until 2010 when Antonella travelled to Barcelona for the first time and moved in with her boyfriend.
They became inseparable after the death of a friend of Antonella’s in a road traffic accident shortly before she left Rosario for a new life in Spain.

8. The General Social Survey: New Data Overview Archived
This report highlights the latest developments and rationale behind recent cycles of the General Social Survey (GSS). Starting with an overview of the GSS mandate and historic cycle topics, we then focus on two recent cycles related to families in Canada: Family Transitions (2006) and Family, Social Support and Retirement (2007). Finally, we give a summary of what is to come in the 2008 GSS on Social Networks, and describe a special project to mark 'Twenty Years of GSS'.
The survey collects data over a twelve month period from the population living in private households in the 10 provinces. For all cycles except Cycles 16 and 21, the population aged 15 and older has been sampled. Cycles 16 and 21 sampled persons aged 45 and older.
Cycle 20 (GSS 2006) is the fourth cycle of the GSS to collect data on families (the first three cycles on the family were in 1990, 1995 and 2001). Cycle 20 covers much the same content as previous cycles on families with some sections revised and expanded. The data enable analysts to measure conjugal and fertility history (chronology of marriages, common-law unions, and children), family origins, children's home leaving, fertility intentions, child custody as well as work history and other socioeconomic characteristics. Questions on financial support agreements or arrangements (for children and the ex-spouse or ex-partner) for separated and divorced families have been modified. Also, sections on social networks, well-being and housing characteristics have been added.

Should Your Wealth Management Strategy Include ESG Funds?
Adviser Fund Update
Vanguard & Fidelity Expand ESG Investment Options
It’s a well-worn maxim that you shouldn’t let your emotions control your investment decisions. What about your conscience?
Investor interest in “environmental, social and governance” (ESG) funds has been on the rise, and both Vanguard and Fidelity want to get further in on the act.
As a refresher, ESG funds or indexes screen companies based on the three criteria in the acronym, although different fund managers and index providers all have their own interpretations and approaches to determining which companies are “good” and which are “bad.”
Typically, the environmental screen cuts polluters and seeks companies using clean tech and renewable energy; the social aspect cuts “sin” stocks like firearms makers, adult entertainment companies, alcohol producers and businesses with poor labor policies; and the governance category rules out companies with poor scores on transparency, diversity and ethics.
The idea is to create a “clean” basket of stocks (or bonds, in the case of Fidelity’s newest offering) issued by companies that may or may not be making the world a better place, but at the least are not making it any worse.
Vanguard’s ESG ETFs & Socially Responsible Investing History
Vanguard announced plans to launch two new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in September that will track a pair of FTSE All-Cap Choice indexes. ESG U.S. Stock ETF will own stocks of U.S. companies that meet the firm’s ESG criteria, while ESG International Stock ETF will do the same for non-U.S. stocks.
The proposed ETFs’ costs, at just 0.12% and 0.15%, respectively, are compelling. But is that enough?
Vanguard has long offered a “socially responsible investing” (SRI) fund—its FTSE Social Index has been an option for investors since May 2000 (originally Calvert Social Index, it changed names and benchmarks in 2005).
Unfortunately for the fund’s investors, it has a mixed track record since inception. While the fund has had periods of relative outperformance compared to the broad market, over the long haul, the fund has underperformed Vanguard’s 500 Index fund and done so with greater risk (as measured by standard deviation, which gauges the magnitude of an investment’s swings from its long-term average return—the higher the standard deviation, the more volatile or risky an investment is said to be). Over the period charted below, FTSE Social Index gained 125.7% while 500 Index gained 165.4%, and the SRI fund was 14% more volatile. Lower returns and higher risk than the market are not a great combo.
But the real pain for long-term investors in FTSE Social Index came in the two successive market crashes this century—the fund declined over 50% during the bursting of the tech bubble in 2002, then never quite recovered its prior highs before falling another 59.5% during the 2007–2009 financial crisis. In comparison, 500 Index declined nearly 45% in the tech bubble fallout and 51% during the financial crisis. Sobering pullbacks for sure, but not on par with FTSE Social Index’s steeper drawdowns.
Note: Chart shows hypothetical growth of $10,000 invested in Vanguard 500 Index and Vanguard FTSE Social Index from 6/30/00 through 5/31/18. Source: Morningstar.
None of this is to say that Vanguard’s new ESG ETFs will follow a similar path (and we do not currently have track records for the underlying benchmarks to analyze). The above is solely to demonstrate how the company has delivered on the promise of SRI to date.
Fidelity’s ESG Bond Index Now Open
This week marked the launch of Fidelity’s Sustainability Bond Index fund, which the firm boasts makes it the only provider of “sustainable” investment options in the three major asset classes (U.S. stocks, foreign stocks and bonds).
The fund seeks to track the returns of the Bloomberg Barclays MSCI U.S. Aggregate ESG Choice Bond Index. The index’s starting universe is the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which is then screened by MSCI for issuers that meet its ESG criteria.
Fidelity Sustainability Bond Index charges 0.20% in fees for the fund’s investor shares (ticker: FNASX). It joins the U.S. Sustainability Index Fund (FENSX) and International Sustainability Index Fund (FNIYX) in Fidelity’s ESG stable.
Fund providers have been slower to jump on the ESG bond bandwagon—there are just a couple of dozen options available currently—but if Fidelity’s newest fund is any indication, that may change. For now, interested investors have a low-cost ESG bond fund to consider, but whether it’s capable of competing with a broad bond market fund remains to be seen.
Is ESG Investing for You?
We’d caution investors considering ESG or socially conscious funds (whether from Vanguard, Fidelity or any other provider) that by excluding certain securities, long-term returns could suffer.
At Adviser Investments, we prefer to let the active managers we invest in select the best investment opportunities available. We believe you should first invest to profit, and then support organizations whose missions match your own beliefs.
That said, if you feel an ESG fund will help you meet your investment goals and sleep better at night, it might be the best choice for you. For that reason, we have developed two distinct ESG strategies that leverage our active-management and dividend-growth expertise to help our SRI-inclined clients align their investments with their values.

Fidelity Adds Index Fund Options
Is Fidelity preparing to wage a fee war against… itself?
In early June, Fidelity filed papers with the Securities and Exchange Commission, registering two proposed index funds that will seek to track the entire U.S. stock market and the worldwide market of large- and mid-cap stocks.
Big deal, you might think. For investors seeking broad exposure to the entire U.S. market at a low price, Fidelity already offers the $53.3 billion Total Market Index fund, which tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index. Likewise, its $22.6 billion International Index fund tracks the MSCI EAFE index of stocks in developed foreign markets. These products have been available for more than 20 years.
Here’s the catch: Unlike their older siblings, the newly proposed funds won’t follow third-party indexes, but rather internal benchmarks designed by the Boston fund giant itself and maintained and calculated by Standard & Poor’s. The proprietary benchmarks—Fidelity U.S. Total Investable Market index and Fidelity Global ex U.S. index—launched in March.
These new funds will be self-indexed versions of the existing market-cap-weighted total market index-fund options. They’ll even have the same subadvisor—Geode Capital Management, which handles day-to-day administration on Total Market Index and International Index, will do the same on the as-yet-unnamed versions tracking the internal benchmarks.
The rationale behind the creation of new funds so similar to existing, popular products? Pricing, most likely. While Fidelity has been mum thus far about what the difference in cost is going to be, fund sponsors are increasingly developing proprietary indexes to keep expense ratios down while jockeying to claim the lowest fees in the market.
The preliminary prospectus filed with the SEC doesn’t spell out the construction of the in-house indexes these funds will seek to mimic. It also didn’t get into any specifics as to what the new funds will cost.
The existing funds are already some of the most affordable in their respective categories. Investors in Total Market Index fund currently pay 0.09% in expenses, while the International Index fund charges 0.16%.
Fidelity’s not the first to add similar products to an existing offering. The popularity of index funds has already caused Vanguard to offer multiple index funds and ETFs that track similar market segments using different third-party index providers and the benchmarks they set.
And as we’ve covered before, Fidelity has also launched six U.S. and two international “factor,” or “smart-beta,” funds in the last two years, each of which tracks an internal index. However, rather than passive indexes tracking a broad market, those in-house indexes maintain an active element because their composition is regularly tweaked to focus on their investment factor (momentum, low volatility, etc.).
We’ll wait and see if moving the broad indexes in-house can help Fidelity deliver even less expensive index fund offerings than its existing products. If so, it’ll be essentially competing against itself as well as its also-cheap competitors’ offerings.
