Sex Offenders' Freedom of Speech

The Fight for Sex Offenders' Freedom of Speech in North Carolina
The Supreme Court recently heard Packingham v. North Carolina. North Carolina bans registered sex offenders from accessing any social media sites that allow under-18-year-olds to post; these include Facebook, Twitter and more. The law isn't limited to people who are in prison or on probation, it also applies even to people who have finished serving their sentences. The law is also not limited to sex offenders who committed crimes against minors, but makes it a crime for any registered sex offender to either post to such a site or even read it.
The defendant in Packingham v. North Carolina, Lester Packingham, was convicted under this law for posting on Facebook that "God is good" after he obtained the dismissal of a traffic ticket. Lester had been convicted on two counts of statutory rape (in California see CHAPTER 1. Rape, Abduction, Carnal Abuse of Children, and Seduction .) in 2002, and was ordered to register as a sex offender (see CHAPTER 5.5. Sex Offenders). Because of this criminal history, he was convicted based on this Facebook 'post'.
Many human rights organizations including the ACLU, the ACLU of North Carolina, EPIC, and the Cato Institute argue that North Carolina's law violates the First Amendment. The law is unconstitutionally overbroad because, under the definition of social media, it would prevent individuals on the registry from reading or commenting on a huge swathe of websites, including Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, the New York Times, and Wikipedia. The law, which in theory is supposed to protect minors from sex offenders, is unfair as it restricts the speech of individuals who were never convicted of a crime involving minors. It clearly restricts far more speech than necessary. It is thus "overbroad" and should be struck down as unconstitutional.
The Law Offices of Seth P. Chazin make every effort to protect our clients' rights. The case of defendant Lester Packingham clearly reveals a serious violation of Mr. Packingham's constitutional rights, including his right to freedom of speech. Even though a person has been convicted of a crime, they should still enjoy the protection of our nation's constitution.

wheat is tempered before grinding by treating with water so that the bran is separated from the endosperm. The tempered wheat is crushed between corrugated rollers (Break rolls). The first break rolls are set relatively far apart to grind the wheat lightly, while successive break yield finer and finer products.

Ethiopia's Chief of Staff of the National Defense Force General Adem Mohammed met with Lt. General Hamad Mohammed Thani Al Rumaithi, Chief of Staff of the UAE Armed Forces.
During the meeting, the two sides reviewed prospects for advancing military cooperation between the two countries, according to Emirates News Agency.
Currently on a visit to Ethiopia, Lt. General Al Rumaithi "deliberated the progress of military collaboration between the two countries and exchanged views over an array of issues of common interest," said the news agency.
Al Rumaithi is accompanied by a top brass delegation, it added.
Relation between Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is growing in a range of areas.

My body talks to me – not in that, "I see dead people" way but in a "oh, if I listen, I can learn" sort of way. And I'm starting to listen. Lately, it's been talking about healthy food. Perhaps because the more time I'm on the road, the less often I eat homemade meals (or meals, period), but, no matter the reason, I'm gravitating toward simple, healthy, whole foods.
In particular, the chatter has been about big, filling salads with loads of veggies, which seems simple enough yet is nearly impossible to find when traveling. So, when I'm home, I've been making them for myself, like this one here. I started with a base of kale, because it's so ridiculously healthy for you and also really filling. Then I loaded it with handfuls of my favorite vegetables, some shredded chicken, salty cheese, and a mint yogurt dressing that's cooling yet spicy, like a good raita.
For the kale: Fold each kale leaf in half lengthwise then pull out and discard the center rib. Tear leaves into bite-sized pieces and place in a large nonreactive bowl (you should have about 6 cups). Add lemon juice from one lemon half and a pinch of salt and, with clean hands, rub and gently squeeze the kale until it just begins to soften and wilt (it will get darker green in color). Set aside 5 to 15 minutes while you prepare the rest of the salad.
For the dressing: Combine yogurt, vinegar, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, sugar, mint, red pepper flakes and garlic in a blender or mini food processor and process until smooth, stopping to scrape down the inside of the carafe as needed. (Depending on the kind of yogurt you use, you may need to thin out the dressing with a little water so it is pourable.) Taste and adjust flavor, adding salt, freshly ground black pepper, and sugar, as needed.
For the salad: Heat oil in a small pan over medium heat. When it shimmers, add coriander and cook until just fragrant. Pour over shredded chicken, add juice from remaining lemon half and toss to combine. Taste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, as desired.
Place greens in a serving bowl or serving dishes and top with chicken mixture and remaining ingredients. Spoon dressing over the top and serve.

Review: Laugh with Jeeves & Wooster in Perfect Nonsense
By Freddy / 07 Oct 2016 (Friday)
Jeeves & Wooster in Perfect Nonsense is appropriately titled. Not only is the plot of this comedy absurd, but it is also a play within a play. Bertie Wooster (Matthew Carter) recounts his weekend to us, the audience. He quickly realised the difficulty of reenacting the events alone. Soon, he was helped by his manservant, Jeeves (Joseph Chance), and Seppings the butler (Robert Goodale), who helped him play a multitude of characters, male and female, throughout the play.

On that eventful weekend, Wooster is unwittingly called on to play matchmaker, save a wedding, save himself, and also to steal a silver cow-shaped cream jug. The events involve different characters including Gussie Fink-Nottle, Madeline Bassett, Sir Watkin Bassett, Aunt Dahlia, Roderick Spode and Constable Oates, all played by Jeeves and Seppings. These characters are all popular creations of renowned English author P. G. Wodehouse.

In the first act, we watch Wooster effortlessly get into one trouble after another. He would then attempt to solve his problems in the second act. While seemingly straightforward, Wooster is entangled in a complicated situation which presents a lot of opportunities for humour.
There were funny parts in which the trio were clearly aware that this is a play. Wooster frequently speaks to the audience directly and comments on the set pieces. Jeeves always reminded Wooster not to point out the stage mechanics in front of the audience. Seppings is generally more immersed in his various roles and only remarks when absolutely necessary.
Due to the play-within-a-play structure, Jeeves and Seppings are also in charge of the set pieces and sound effects. There is a hilarious scene in the first act when Seppings simulated the Jeeves and Wooster's rainy car ride to the country house.
The set pieces were inventive. They often recycled the same walls for different scenes, but made enough effort to quickly turn them into different places. The lighting was cleverly used, especially punctuating parts when Wooster suddenly breaks out of his reenactment to address the audience. There is a particularly creative slow-motion sequence in which the lighting was perfect.
On top of these plus points, the highlight of the show is the performance of the talented comedic trio. My favourite performer is Joseph Chance. His suave persona as Jeeves complements Wooster nicely. He plays other characters well, too. I particularly like his performance as Gussie. What impresses me the most, though, is when he has to play Sir Watkin Bassett and Madeline Bassett at the same time.
Robert Goodale is equally talented as well. If Chance's unmistakable accent sometimes makes it slightly difficult to suspend our disbelief when he plays other roles, Goodale really embodies the distinct characters, especially Aunt Dahlia and Roderick Spode. He has to run around and executes quick costume changes throughout the show to switch into different roles, probably more than Chance.
Matthew Carter only has to play Wooster throughout, but that does not mean that his work is any less impressive than the other two. Wooster is a high-spirited, over-the-top character that can easily be annoying in the hands of a less talented actor. Luckily, Carter played him with much-needed sincerity and energy also ensured that he never turns off his charm.
Jeeves and Wooster in Perfect Nonsense seems to cater to a rather niche audience. Not everyone might appreciate this award-winning comedy's brand of subtle, deadpan humour. But if you are a fan of dry British humour, you are in for an enjoyable evening. Even if you are not, it is hard not to be entertained.

ATLANTA -- With a 7-2 win over the Reds on Thursday, the Braves won back-to-back home games for the first time since defeating the Marlins at Turner Field on May 27 and 28.
Atlanta dropped the first two games of the four-game set, but rallied back Wednesday to walk off in a dramatic 13-inning game that lasted more than five hours. The Braves battled back again on Tuesday behind 6 2/3 solid innings from Matt Wisler.
"It's exactly what we needed," Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said of his right-hander. "That first inning I was like, 'Man, come on.' We're short down there [in the bullpen], and he stepped up big."
Wisler, who had lost his last four outings dating back to May 26, got off to a rocky start, as Reds shortstop Zack Cozart singled on the first pitch of the game. After Wisler walked Joey Votto, Brandon Phillips hit an RBI single to give Cincinnati an early lead.
After getting a 5-4-3 double play following a leadoff single by Votto in the third, Wisler surrendered a homer to Adam Duvall, and the Braves found themselves in a 2-0 hole. Wisler settled in after that and finished with five strikeouts.
"[Pitching coach] Roger [McDowell] and I talked about it before the game, I need to go deep today, just to kind of save our bullpen a little bit," Wisler said. "So I knew they were gonna run me out there for quite a few pitches, so I tried to get as deep as I could today."
The offense has come to life during the homestand, with the Braves hitting a collective .283 in the series with a .371 on-base percentage.
Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman, who hit for the cycle Wednesday night, added three more hits on Thursday, including his 12th home run, a two-run shot in the third inning to give Atlanta the lead.
"It's good to see when he gets going like that," Snitker said of Freeman.
The Braves hammered out nine hits on Thursday, including a two-run double by Nick Markakis in the fifth.
"Hitting is contagious, and it's definitely been like that the last couple of days," Freeman said. "So hopefully that continues with a tough matchup [against the Mets] this weekend."

Businesses that create or merchandise products count on selling their inventories at a profit -- that is, at a price that exceeds the cost of acquisition. Sometimes, things don't work out as planned and you have to write off inventory that is damaged, spoiled or obsolete. The extent to which you disclose losses from inventory write-offs depends on the size of the loss compared to net income for the period.
In the direct method, you write off obsolete or otherwise impaired inventory as soon as you become aware of the loss. If the loss is not substantial, you debit cost of goods sold and credit inventory for the loss amount. However, if the loss is significant, you should create an expense account such as "loss on obsolete inventory" that you include on the income statement. Debit this expense account instead of COGS. The problem with the direct method is that you might record the write-off after the period in which the loss actually occurs, which violates the matching principles of accrual accounting.
To observe the matching principle, you create inventory reserve accounts and estimate your inventory losses up front. Inventory reserves are contra-asset accounts with credit balances that reduce the net value of inventory. For example, if you estimate that you'll have to write off $10,000 of inventory in the period because of obsolescence, credit the reserve account "allowance for obsolete inventory" and debit either COGS or an inventory expense account for $10,000. In this way, you recognize the loss in the current period. When you actually must write off inventory, debit the reserve account and credit inventory for the loss amount.
The use of reserve accounts elevates the visibility of inventory losses, because the reserve amount appears on the balance sheet. Under the direct method, the loss is buried in the inventory balance sheet account. You also can hide write-downs by debiting the loss to COGS rather than to a bespoke expense account. International financial reporting standards require you to disclose any inventory write-offs on the income statement. GAAP standards are less demanding but do require you to disclose losses due to LCM on the income statement.

UP Law's international Child Law expert, Prof Ann Skelton, re-elected to the OHCHR Committee on the Rights of the Child
The Faculty of Law (UP Law) at the University of Pretoria (UP) is proud to announce that Professor Ann Skelton was re-elected to the United Nations Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner's (OHCHR) Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) for a second term of office, from March 2021 to February 2025. The Committee consists of 18 independent experts, who are nominated by their countries, and are voted in by a majority of the 196 states that have ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).
The Committee oversees the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). Its members review the progress of the 196 states that have ratified the CRC and issue recommendations to states, drafts authoritative statements on children's rights known as 'General Comments', and hold discussion days with stakeholders and children. Since 2014 the Committee has also been receiving individual complaints and requests for inquiries under its communications procedure.
Skelton has racked up several notable achievements during her first four-year term of office. She led the drafting of General Comment no 24 on the rights of children in the child justice system, and she is currently the chairperson of the working group on communications. Inter alia Skelton is also the first holder of the Rotating Honorary Chair on the Enforcement of Children's Rights by Leiden University, The Netherlands.
Skelton said that she was 'relieved and happy to be re-elected. I acknowledge the support of the Department of International Relations and Co-operation, and at the missions in Geneva and New York, as a key factor in my successful re-election, as the process is very political.'
She said that continuity for Treaty Body Committees is important. 'When I was elected the first time, I felt I was joining a movie that was half way through. It is a highly complex system, and there is so much to learn. Four years sounds like a long time, but actually it flashes by, and at four years in, you feel like you are on top of it and really able to make a contribution. So I am very glad to be able to continue with the work that we have already started'.
Of particular interest to Skelton, with her background in strategic litigation, is the work under the communications procedure. She enjoys the challenge of dealing with complex legal issues such as extra-territorial jurisdiction - which the Committee recently grappled with in a case regarding a complaint against France for refusing to repatriate the children of foreign fighters in camps in Northern Syria.
The court declared the case to be admissible, and Skelton is glad that she will still be on the Committee when the merits of the case are dealt with. Another interesting case on the Committee's agenda is Sacchi and others v Argentina and others, a case about the impact of climate change, brought by 16 children against several states.
The Committee usually meets thrice annually for a month each time in Geneva, Switzerland. However, 2020 was completely different, as the Committee held a unique session in the Pacific Island of Samoa in March this year. Fortunately, the members managed to return home just before the world went into lockdown as a result of the COVID-19 virus. As a result, the May 2020 session was postponed, and the September 2020 session was held online (but did not include state party reviews), and the same will occur for the January 2021 session. Skelton observes that 'The work must continue and the Treaty Bodies are doing what they can, but for an 18-member committee with members spread across the world (reviewing states from around the globe), it is important to get back to in person sessions as soon as we can'.
In reaction to Skelton's reappointment, UP Law's Dean Professor Elsabe Schoeman congratulated and extended her appreciation to Skelton, saying that 'Professor Skelton's re-election comes as no surprise. She has been doing sterling work as a member of the CRC, and her dedication to children's rights across the globe speaks volumes. She is a universal expert in this field, and the obvious choice to represent South Africa internationally.'
In a media statement on 26 November 2020, Minister Naledi Pandor congratulates Professor Ann Skelton on her re-election to the Committee on the Rights of the Child.

Foreign investors wary of Thai economy
Companies look elsewhere as the economy faces key risks from the US-China trade war and Brexit
Fri, Jun 14, 2019 - 5:50 AM

WHEN Kulthirath Pakawachkrilers had to convince yet another Chinese investor that business was still a good bet in Thailand despite the political upheaval, she knew it was going to be a tough sell.
Companies once considering investing in South-east Asia's second-largest economy were now looking at other options - and the uncertainty surrounding the aftermath of the elections was driving much of the concern, said Ms Kulthirath, the CEO of the Thailand e-Business Center, which advises companies on entering the Thai market.
Ms Kulthirath, who's also on the committees of the Thai Digital Trade Association and the Thai e-Commerce Association, has met over 600 foreign investors in the past year. She said the majority had decided now is not the right time to invest in Thailand.
"They are hesitating," she said. "Half of them are very worried, especially the Chinese because their economy slightly relies on the government too, so they say that the more a government is strong, the more that a country is strong."
The decades-long power struggle between the country's pro-military allies and opposition parties is threatening to further unhinge an already fragile economy, even with a new government headed by former army chief Prayut Chan-Ocha about to be sworn in.
After five years of military rule, the junta retained control of the government in the March election with only a slim four-seat majority coalition in the House of Representatives.
That keeps the bitter political fighting very much alive and makes it difficult for returned Mr Prayut to pass meaningful legislation.
It's also making businesses hesitant to invest in an environment of heightened global risk. Already, US$20 billion of spending on transport and logistics projects has been delayed because of the three-month impasse in forming a government.
The economy "is facing key risks from both the US-China trade war and Brexit. We need the government to steer the economy through these problems," said Kriengkrai Thiennukul, vice-chairman of the Federation of Thai Industries.
"Without the government, all businesses are in a wait-and-see mode and government officials have limited power to work."
The political uncertainty is a shadow over an economy whose growth potential has gradually declined over the years.
The export-heavy manufacturing industry has lost market share to low-cost neighbours like Vietnam, productivity has steadily declined and the nation has one of the oldest populations among developing countries. That's even before trade wars and a global slowdown are factored in. Lucrative free trade talks have languished under military rule and there is urgency to get those going again.
Negotiations for a free trade agreement with the European Union (EU) were suspended back in 2014 after the junta overthrew the democratically elected government, straining relations with Thailand's third-biggest trade partner.
While the EU went on to restore political ties with Thailand in 2017, there is no signal the two sides will resume negotiations for an agreement they spent over a year working on.
"Many countries have used our military government as the reason for suspending the talks," Mr Kriengkrai said. "Once we return to democracy, we need to move quickly."
Approved foreign direct investment (FDI) from EU companies has plunged 32 per cent since 2014 to US$1 billion last year, according to data from the Thai Board of Investment.
Overall FDI rose 0.5 per cent in April from a year ago, after declining in the previous two months, figures from the Bank of Thailand showed.
"The political uncertainties are probably the greatest factor of all for the manufacturers who are thinking of investing or have already invested in manufacturing in Thailand," said Karri Kivela, executive director of the European Association for Business and Commerce.
Slower investment growth and the worsening trade outlook will curb economic growth, which the central bank says may come in lower than its 3.8 per cent forecast for the year - already among the weakest in South-east Asia.
Although it's losing out to regional peers like Vietnam as businesses shift supply chains amid the US-China trade war, Thailand still offers a number of advantages over its less-developed neighbours - especially in the vehicle industry, where Subaru and Harley Davidson have expanded operations.
Micah Shepard, president of Southeast Asia at German-based automotive parts maker Schaeffler Manufacturing, said Thailand "has the full supply base of everything you more or less need to make your product," which gives it a "big advantage" over Vietnam. BLOOMBERG

Love the product! Our kids (12 and 9) are completely stoked about learning and doing physics/electronics experiments. Perfect gift to give to family and friends.
I'll be using this product with my students in a STEM Middle School. I love the fact that everything is packed within the box, but even better I love the curriculum.
It's a great kit for starters. Love it! Our son is 7 and tinkers with this frequently. The manuals are very well put together and full of concise and clear information. He skips through the text searching for the next projects but trust we will revisit later to learn more.
I bought the kit for my daughter. We have not been able to do more than a couple of the experiments. I was told I could download the experiments on a flash drive and open them when we had the chance.
I did, I thought, but they wont open from the flash drive and we don't have accesses to internet at home so we have to wait until we are at the library or my in-laws home. Other than the missing breadboard it was everything we expected. The missing breadboard has since been replaced and my daughter is looking forward to " playing" as she calls it with the materials she now has access too. Thanks for your help in allowing her to explore the world of science and robotics.

Whether you're coming to Nepal to trek, meditate, volunteer, get awesome medical values, get certification for yoga, healing bowl or meditation, our blogs, websites and social media posts will help you every step of the way. Is Nepal on your bucket list?
We had an amazing experience in the rice fields in Changu Narayan. Almost all the team went to the Krishna and Bagvati's fields and enjoyed a lot. For sure, It's Harvest time.
We went down to the valley through many houses, some half destroyed by the earthquakes. We did not cross paths with many locals along the road and the views is just peaceful.
After 30 minutes, we were surounded by rice lands and finally arrived at our field destination. All the villagers were there. We finally understood why houses looked so empty.
It's time to work. After a warm welcome and some rice beer we are ready to start.
Armed with a sickle, we watched our co-workers who showed us Nepali techniques.
Really physical work! We tried to be as efficient as the locals, but we still need more practice.
The rice was cut but work wasn't ending yet. Now comes the shell times. And nothing is better than human forces so we pedaled the closest thing to modern equipment the day had to offer.
After a break for eating lunch we finished carrying loads and removing grains of rice of plants.
It's almost 4 p.m when we moved to the river nearby..
Everybody relaxed and admired the quiet place near the river. Some took advantage of the situation and did their laundry.
On the way back we met our friends from the rice fields. Theys asked us if we wanted to carry a rice bag to the Changunarayan Village at the top of the hill. Some tried but it was really heavy, around 22 kilograms/50 pounds. Kévin, our canadian volunteer, was the exception and carried the bag up to the top. Villagers and volunteers encouraged him!! Ah ! Canadian strength !
Well ! end of the history, end of the article but not the end of the adventure.
Everybody went home with many souvenirs in their head. Tomorrow is a new day with many other activities to do..

Bucks trade Tony Snell, 30th pick to Pistons for Jon Leuer
There was already an inkling that the Bucks were in the market to move off the contracts for Tony Snell or Ersan Ilyasova, and it was inevitable that some draft compensation would have to be involved to get it done.
Snell proved the first to go yesterday evening with the Milwaukee Bucks agreeing to trade him and their first-round pick in tonight's draft (at 30th overall) to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Jon Leuer
The top concern for Jon Horst after Milwaukee's 60-win campaign was always going to be finding a way to retain the core that got the Bucks there. With Eric Bledsoe now on an extension and Khris Middleton officially looking for a new deal the arithmetic involved in also retaining some variation of Malcolm Brogdon, Brook Lopez, George Hill, or Nikola Mirotic would be complex. Now, with the possibility of waiving and stretching the $9.5 million owed Leuer this season the Bucks may have bought themselves some more flexibility.
But at what cost?
The biggest loss will be whatever potential player would have been available for Milwaukee at #30, regardless of the sometimes random nature of the draft. That player would have been a cost-controlled piece on a roster that is set to get very expensive, very fast (not to mention the unknown on-court contributions in coming years).
In addition, while Snell saw his minutes drop from 27.4 per game in 2017-2018 to just 17.4 mpg last season, he remained a somewhat plausible bench depth piece with his third straight season of near 40% shooting from three. His contract has always been something of an albatross given the length and per year price (four-years, $44 million), but that was infamously a deal Milwaukee felt comfortable giving him the second free agency opened.
There's always a chance Milwaukee chooses to keep Leuer around, but given his recent history of injury woes and how desperate the Bucks will be for any and all available dollars in FA it seems unlikely he'll make it far in the off-season. For tonight's draft there's also the chance Horst can find his way into the second-round if a player really catches his eye, but as of this morning the Milwaukee Bucks will be watching from the sidelines.
What do you make of the trade? Like it? Love it? Dislike it? Hate it? Wait and see?

After thirty years of heavy sanctions and the constant threat of military intervention, Iran has failed to be deterred from its ambitious nuclear intent. Recently, Tehran has indicated it will cease higher enrichment of uranium if sanctions are lifted and its right to enrich is duly recognised. With Iran showing increasing flexibility in recent negotiations, the best way forward is a diplomatic one. Previous attempts for diplomacy by a number of countries, notably the P5+1, have failed as a result of breakdowns in communication due to public hard line statements by each of the nations, concurrent sanctions and military threats delivered by Israel, the United States and on occasion the European Union (EU). Sidelining sanctions, removing immediate threats to their sovereignty and then making a shift for private bi-lateral negotiations between the United States and Iran have a greater change of yielding a successful outcome. The involvement of Washington may also help allay particular security fears by Israel whose influence on previous negotiations has been unhelpful. Removing the crippling sanctions and a shift for diplomacy should not be viewed as a reward, but a pragmatic tool for achieving a successful outcome for all relevant parties. The West can ensure that by lifting sanctions and removing direct military threats, they have done everything in their power to discourage nuclear proliferation and prevent an ongoing conflict rather than encourage both.

Over the course of a month or so in late 2011, elections in Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia empowered Islamist parties in the Middle East, allowing them to govern their respective countries for the very first time in modern history. Islamist partiers, such as Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood and Tunisia's Ennahda, are on the rise, leaving behind them a number of secular parties who are quickly losing support. These domestic changes will have significant regional implications and the international community more broadly. The west must look to employ more ambitious political and economic agendas to ensure that they are not ignoring the emerging parties in the Middle East in their engagement. Encouraging these Islamist parties to focus more on democracy and its core values, such as gender equality, is a start. However, beyond this, the west should focus more on specific issues, such as ensuring that Islamists continue to maintain existing treaties and uphold international human rights standards. The west should also look to create greater employment opportunities and help establish regular legal frameworks with the immediate focus being on short-term goals that can be implemented within a three to five year period. To do this, western countries must look to build new relations across communities in the Middle East and expand their engagement beyond the select few political actors who have previously supported their own agenda. This may not decrease the perceived suspicion that exists between the west and Islamist partiers. But it may improve relations and send a message to Islamist parties that the west is not ignoring them in their dealings with the region. This short paper attempts to briefly outline the rise of Islamist parties in the Middle East since the recent Arab uprising. It argues that the west and its allies should now look to adopt greater political and economic measures in response to the political changes that have occurred in the Middle East. The paper also attempts to briefly highlight that the Middle East remains strategically important to Australia, noting Australia's economic and trade interests and the region's destablising impact on the global security environment.
The first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol will end on 31st of December 2012 and a second commitment period (2CP) of the Protocol is currently on the negotiating table. Australia has announced that they will sign up for the 2CP at COP18 in Doha, with a 5% reduction target to 2000 levels under certain conditions. This is the lowest reduction target in their target range based on international progress and is not ambitious enough for Australia to make substantial gains. Australia's economy will benefit significantly through an increase in ambition that is comparable to other countries acting internationally.

Carbon markets are emerging globally as a tool that countries use to address the challenges of climate change by reducing or offsetting their carbon dioxide emissions. This paper examines the opportunities for the engagement of indigenous communities in carbon markets. Indigenous communities that engage in carbon markets by conducting projects that contribute to mitigating or offsetting emissions may be able to access co-benefits. However, the state of the international carbon market is fragmented and has provided mixed success in engaging indigenous communities. But, there may be opportunities via international climate change negotiations for the improvement of the state of carbon markets and indigenous communities' role in them. Finally, this paper makes several recommendations for improving the engagement of indigenous people in carbon markets.


Chin surgery or mentoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance and reshape the chin through an implant or by reduction surgery. The procedure is intended to restore facial balance, reshape and change the size of the chin in order to correct for acquired or congenital deformities of the face.
Chin surgery can be performed under general or local anesthesia. The procedure is carried out by placement of an implant through an incision inside the mouth, or under the chin, or by advancement of the chin bone.
After surgery, there will be some degree of discomfort, bruising and swelling for a few days. Dr. Said will give you detailed instructions on how to best handle your recovery.
The possible side-effects associated with chin surgery are temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, numbness of the lip and chin, infection, hematoma, extrusion of the implant, nerve damage and bone erosion.
A more refined jawline, an enhanced profile and a harmonious face are the long-lasting results of chin surgery.

Darrell Wayne Sutherland was born on November 14, 1941 in Glendale, California. The tall 6' 4" lanky right hander, attended Stanford University, getting signed by the Philadelphia Phillies in 1963. The next year he was selected as a first year waiver pick by the New York Mets. The youngster went 10-1 at AAA Buffalo that season getting brought up to the Mets staff in late June.
On June 28th, 1964 Sutherland debuted against the Milwaukee Braves, getting knocked out in the first inning, allowing five earned runs walking two batters. On July 2nd he made a start at the Astrodome, pitching five solid innings allowing two runs, but the Mets only scored one run for him & Sutherland was given another loss.
He was placed in the bullpen the rest of the month, getting a start on July 23rd losing to the Reds in Cincinnati. By August 8th he was 0-3 & had given up a total of 26 runs in 26 innings pitched in his ten appearances (7.76 ERA). It was a classic example of a young pitcher brought up to early, even though he was not ready for the big leagues.
In 1965 Sutherland was 8-8 at AAA Buffalo with a 3.99 ERA. The Mets were still in need of pitching & he was brought back up in early August. He earned his first career win at the Houston Astrodome pitching four scoreless innings of a 1-0 win, where Ron Hunt reached on an error with the bases loaded scoring Chuck Hiller.
He earned two more relief wins in late September, both coming on the road at Chicago & Pittsburgh. He appeared in 18 games mostly in mid relief, finishing up 3-1 with a 2.31 ERA.
In 1966 he made the Mets staff out of Spring Training & spent most of the year with the big league club. On April 26th he was credited with a hold, although he gave up three runs at Wrigley Field in the Mets 14-11 win.
Three days later he notched a save in Pittsburgh but was sent back down to AAA for two months due to his 7.76 ERA. When he returned he struggled but posted a 2-0 record, allowing 60 hits with 25 walks in only 44 innings pitched, posting a 4.67 ERA in 31 appearances on the year.
In 1967 he went 6-3 at AA Williamsport, fourth best on the team. In November of 1967 he was drafted away by the Cleveland Indians & pitched three games for them at the major league level in 1968, posting an 8.10 ERA. He pitched in the minors through 1969 with AAA Portland. In his brief four year career he was 5-4 winning all his games in relief & losing all his games as a starter.
He posted a 4.78 career ERA with 11 saves, 50 strikeouts & 58 walks allowed in 122 innings in 62 appearances. At the plate he was a good hitter batting .238 lifetime going 5-21.

Chart Of The Day: Signs Of Recovery?
Want to know if the economy is really recovering? If an economy is truly growing then it leads to a demand for construction. As demand on businesses exceed their current capacity they build or expand facilities. As the economy strengthens so does employment. Increases in employment ultimately leads to residential construction as renters turn into owners and new entrants into the job market become new renters. As demand increases so does the demand for construction for more houses, buildings, plants, infrastructure, etc.
Today's release of the construction spending numbers. Construction outlays were weaker than expected and broad based. The one bright spot was multifamily (apartment) construction as more Americans are forced out of their homes due to default, delinquency and foreclosure. Construction spending fell 1.1 percent in February, following a massive revision of a negative 0.8 percent for January (originally down 0.1 percent).
Not surprisingly the mainstream economists were all shocked by these numbers as their median market forecast called for a 0.7 percent increase.
The decrease in February was led by a 1.7 percent drop in public construction withprivate nonresidential decreasing 1.6 percent. For those expecting a housing recovery there was no good news in this report either as new one-family outlays fell 1.5 percent.
Of course, this report is a subtraction from GDP and will lead to revisions in the Q1 estimates. We are still holding our call to 1.5 to 2% growth in Q1 which will turn out an unprecedented four quarters of sub-2% GDP growth without being in a recession. However, according to Rasmussen's recent survey – 60% of Americans believe we are in a recession already.

Sarika's Marathi film to release in October
Sarika is not an unknown face in cinema. From being a child actor to a seasoned actress. Sarika has had an amazing cinematic journey.Though we don't see her in films that often (her last appearance was in Baar Baar Dekho as Sidharth Malhotra's mother), she has done some memorable films like Parzania. The actress will be soon seen in a Marathi film.
Titled Respect, the film is directed by Kishor Belekar. Talking to a daily, about the film and Sarika's role in it, Belekar said, "Since my film dwells on the empowerment of women and core issues like periods, homosexuality, racism etc., it was vital to rope in actors who are essentially strong women too. Sarika fitted the bill. She is a seasoned performer and can mould herself into any character. For now, I can only reveal this much that she plays a rape survivor in my film and it has been a learning experience to direct her."
He also said that Sarika spoke Marathi well and he hoped for her to do many more Marathi films in the future.
Respect is expected to hit screens in October.
For more updates from the world of Marathi, cinemas stay tuned to Box Office India.

MiFID is a European Union law which standardises regulation for investment services across all member states of the European Economic Area. Now in effect, MiFID II features substantial revisions that offer investors protection and transparency across all asset classes. Specifically, new rules dictate that all forms of communication concerning financial transactions are recorded so that there is an auditable trail. Crucially, compliance with MiFID II mandates that all video meetings are recorded and all participants logged, including those using meeting rooms.

This new installment of our series of NewFilmmakers Los Angeles interviews features conversations with writer/actress Paulina Michaels, producer Lia Abbate, and directors Terry Ziegelman, Michael Berge, Matt Allen, Emi Bell and Carlos Hurtado.
This is Part One of two installments this week. Watch Part Two here.


Every sport wants Olympic status and roller sports (including inline) are among them. Climbing, bridge, golf, roller sports and surfing are among the sports that are recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The International Sports Federations that govern these sports have to make sure that their rules, practices and activities adhere to the Olympic Charter.
Efforts by the roller sports world governing body, the Federation Internationale de Roller Sports (FIRS), to earn Olympic status for any of its disciplines were limited at the end of the 20th century. FIRS didn't push the promotional envelope when quad hockey was a demonstration sport in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. Now, in the U.K., the British Inline Skater Hockey Association (BiSHA) is working with other disciplines to form one governing body with the aim of achieving Olympic status. BiSHA has now achieved Sports Council recognition and forms part of British Roller Sports Federation (BRSF) – the governing body for roller skating disciplines.
FIRS' attempts to get Olympic status became most active around 2000, when inline speed skating was promoted as the most suitable roller sport for the Olympics. Competition from at least 20 other sports also seeking entry into the Olympics – at a time when they were trying to reduce the number of participating sports – kept chances of entry very slim. Since inline racing didn't get Olympic status, many inline speed skaters have switched from inline to ice speed skating to get a shot at Olympic participation.
Softball and baseball were seeking reinstatement after being voted off the agenda for the 2012 London Olympic Games. Roller sports joined them in the battle for two spots on the Olympic program for 2016. Golf, squash, karate and seven-a-side rugby were the other contenders. All seven sport federations received letters, requesting their presentations of their sport in October of 2009, when the International Olympic Committee assembles at Copenhagen. At this time, golf and rugby are the sports of choice for 2016.
The Federation Internationale de Rollersports (FIRS), which includes inline speed skating, roller figure skating and roller derby, is now vying for a spot in the 2020 Olympic Games. A total of eight sports, including baseball and softball, the two sports that were removed after the 2008 Games and voted off the agenda for the 2012 Games will be considered. The other six sports are wakeboard, squash, sport climbing, rollersports, karate and the martial art of wushu. These sports will be evaluated in early 2013. One sport will be voted on from the final list in late 2013 at the IOC session in Buenos Aires.
In the years following the Olympic appearances of Joey Cheek, Derek Parra, Jennifer Rodriguez, Chad Hedrick and others, it has been common for inline speed skaters with Olympic dreams to trade in their big wheels for ice blades. After many seasons of inline racing accomplishments, many other inline racers like Jessica Lynn Smith, Meaghan Buisson and Katherine Reutter were forced to look at new opportunities in the ice speed skating disciplines and cross train on ice in an effort to open up some Olympic opportunities that may not ever develop for them in the inline speed skating world, since inline racing is not yet an Olympic sport.


Hike among California's old-growth trees.
On Northern California's Pacific coast, Humboldt County is all about the trees. It's got miles of redwood plantations and protected old-growth preserves—more than 40 percent of all remaining old growth coastal redwood forests, to be exact, plus one of the oldest. Put on your (most comfortable) walking shoes, and hit the trail—there are plenty to choose from.
Beginning about four miles south of the town of Scotia is the 32-mile-long scenic road called Avenue of the Giants (named for the redwoods that flank it), which runs parallel to Highway 101: don't miss the Immortal, a 950-year-old tree that withstood a 1908 logging attempt (you can still see the ax marks).
The property offers 12 sweet, 1950s-style redwood cabins (with the "rustic" furniture straight out of the Drapers' kitchen in Mad Men).


Many businesses are moving to the cloud, some of them want to increase efficiency and other companies want to reduce costs, but in fact, they all want to take advantage of the benefits of the cloud. Today, all new companies or startups are already cloud native, but most of the companies we know are still using old technologies or client-server applications like Delphi. With Oracle Cloud, the journey to cloud for client-server applications is made easy with a partner solution called GraphOn GO-Global for Remote Applications.
In this post, you'll see how easy it is to run a Delphi application in Oracle Cloud using GraphOn GO-Global for Remote Applications.
First of all, you need a compute instance with Microsoft Windows Server. You can use this blog post to create it: Creating a Windows compute instance in Oracle Cloud.
Access your Windows Server using Remote Desktop Connection and start to install IIS Web Server. In the Server Manager, click the "Add roles and features" link.
In the Server Roles, select Web Server (IIS).
In the Add Roles and Features Wizard, click the Add Features button.
Now we can install the host version of GraphOn GO-Global. Using a web browser, go to http://www.graphon.com/customer-support/download-software-and-documentation, select Host (Windows x64) and click the Download button.
During the installation, select "Always trust software from GraphOn Corporation" and click Install.
After Windows restart, go to C:\Program Files\GraphOn\GO-Global\Programs and copy/paste your license. Do not forget to call or email GraphOn asking for a trial license.
Go to Services, right-click GO-Global License Manager and click Start.
I do not have or even found a business application created in Delphi, but I found a Tetris game, so I'll use this application to demonstrate it.
Copy and paste your application and double-click the GO-Global Cluster Manager shortcut. Click the Add button, then click the button near the Executable Path field and select your application.
Download and install the GO-Global Add-on.
After installation, restart your web browser.
Try to access GO-Global again and inform your credentials.

Tim and I got married just over a year ago and since we moved to New York right after we tied the knot, we didn't really get a chance to have a nice relaxing honeymoon. Sure, we took the train across country to the east coast, but with our wedding and the move right after it was just so hectic! Dreaming of a getaway where we could lounge in the sun all day, we decided that we would celebrate a honeyversary! We went to the oh-so-popular and oh-so-awesome Ace Hotel and Swim Club in the wonderfully hot Palm Springs and we had the best time ever. We love the mid century feel that Palm Springs has. All of the houses look so cool and the decorations are so retro-cool! While we were there we swam in the pool for hours on end, bought out all the records at the thrift stores, and of course, we did a photo shoot!
We loved our engagement photos so much that we wanted to have a similar vibe with our latest shoot. We shot our honeyversary photos with a tripod and wireless trigger, just like before, and of course we had to keep our retro flare! We incorporated our love of the 50s 60s and 70s and took inspiration from movies such as Gidget, Beach Party, and of course Palm Springs Weekend. We found a really great vintage movie projector at a thrift store so we had to use that somehow…and I think it turned out to be so special. I'm thinking this might be an annual tradition :) We hope you love the photos as much as we do.

Q. My shipment was refused even though I followed what the regulations and my training said for shipping an overpack. My drums were on a pallet and shrink wrapped. All of the information on the drums could be seen. I placed a sticker with the words "Overpack Used" on the shrink wrap and listed it that way on my paperwork. Can you tell me why my carrier refused it?
A. Per Section 7.1.7 the actual wording that must be used on your pallet is just the word "overpack". It seems confusing to have different terminology used but that is how the regulations work and why you should be trained every 2 years for IATA.
Q. Since this product meets the combustible definition, can we use 'NA1993 Combustible Liquids, n.o.s.' to ship to Canada or does Canada only recognize the 'UN1993 Flammable Liquids, n.o.s.'?
Health Canada provided an FAQ presentation at a recent CIC (Current Issues Committee) meeting that may provide a useful lead in to the more detailed Guidance document published in December 2016.
The length of the document may be daunting to the casual user, so the FAQ presentation attempts to present Health Canada's position on items that are of current concern.
The CIC is a multi-representative committee that meets several times a year to review, as it's name implies, issues that can be improved to increase the effectiveness of WHMIS in helping to protect workers. Currently there are representatives from various government levels (Federal/Provincial/Territorial), Health & Safety organizations (e.g. CCOHS), industry organizations (e.g. RDC, CIAC, etc.) and Labour (CLC, Unifor, etc.).

Following its decision to ignore warning from Beijing and hand over land to the Seoul government for the construction of the THAAD missile defense system, things have steadily gone from bad to worse to worst for Lotte.
This month, the number of Lotte supermarkets closed in China has gradually risen from 23 to 55 to 79 as of Sunday, according to the Yonhap news agency. With 99 outlets in China, this means that 80% of Lotte's stores in the country have been shut down.
63 of these supermarkets have been shut down by the government, ostensibly due to fire code violations. The rest have been forced to close due to nationalistic protests. If things keep going as they are the South Korean conglomerate predicts it could lose $66 million this month in China where it employs 20,000 people, possibly driving Lotte out of China for good.
On Monday, South Korea complained to the World Trade Organization about how China had retaliated against South Korean companies over the THAAD defense system; however, the complaint was only a notification to the WTO, not a move that requires legal action. It's not clear if Seoul plans to pursue the matter further.
