At Fakuma 2018, Technische Informationssysteme GmbH (TIG) from Rankweil, Austria, presented its new brand design to trade visitors for the first time. The MES specialists presented their new products, TIG 2go and TIG big data, along with the established MES TIG authentig at the very well-visited trade fair booth.
"The number of visitors to our booth this year was enormous," as Hannes Zach, TIG's Sales director, explains. "Many found that there were generally fewer visitors this year, but this is something we did not experience. Our partners, such as ENGEL and FANUC, in particular ensured a growing number of visitors at the TIG booth."
This year, TIG authentig and TIG 2go were also on show in the "TIG Expert Corner" of the ENGEL booth, and in the "FANUC IoT Corner" of the FANUC booth – in cooperation with the new FANUC Euromap 77 OPC UA interface here. Visitors were able to experience real-time monitoring of the quality, machine and order status of the connected injection moulding machines in line with the requirements of Industry 4.0.
The Industry 4.0 specialist offers a smart dashboard solution in the form of the affordable TIG 2go entry-level solution, which enables many plastics processors unwilling to invest in a complex MES solution to keep track of their production. They connect their machines to the TIG cloud platform via IoT acquisition hardware. WebOEE and quality trend data are available for all connected machines, regardless of location and at the push of a button. All the information is clearly presented and can be retrieved at any time worldwide using PCs or tablet computers. The focus is clearly on productivity and process data.
The TIG big data platform puts enterprises in a position to link and analyze machine data from databases, such as the data available on MES, ERP, CAQ and maintenance systems. The TIG big data high-performance analytics framework allows companies to unite their worldwide production sites in a central cockpit. The TIG solution comes with an infrastructure that can be adapted to the volume of data in question, and can be hosted on-premise or in the TIG cloud.
The TIG authentig MES solution meets all Industry 4.0 requirements, ideally supporting the implementation of forward-looking technologies such as Big Data, Internet of Things (IoT) and Software as a Service. Deploying TIG authentig makes the smart factory a reality. Plastics processors now have an easy option for setting up communication between injection moulding machines, peripheral devices and the MES. They no longer need a custom solution for this.
The new TIG authentig subscription licensing model offers a simple and cost-effective approach to deploying your own MES system. It contains everything manufacturers need to know about their injection molding machines. Thanks to the low initial investment (cost per machine and year, including maintenance), the TIG authentig subscription model guarantees a fast return on investment.
"The product portfolio with TIG 2go, TIG big data and TIG authentig has been very well received", says Mr. Zach summing up the trade fair days. "TIG continues to be a well-known software manufacturer in the plastics sector. Feedback from customers shows that our claim 'The leading software in the plastics sector' is more than just marketing blurb."
The trade fair showed that the trend towards MES, Industry 4.0 and digitalization is continuing. As Mr. Zach explains: "Companies are now much more open and willing to invest in software. Many trade fair visitors have already approached us with clearly defined ideas and details. Machine networking is being driven forward and industrial software solutions are in great demand. We are very pleased that we have been able to win over new customers from Austria and Romania. But we are particularly proud of the fact that we have had many enquiries from potential partners, and were therefore able to have a number of future defining talks."
TIG is delighted with its success at Fakuma 2018. The trade fair stand was well visited.
7 of the top 10 automotive suppliers as customers.
Founded more than 20 years ago as a specialist for production machine networking, TIG is now the industry leader in quality assurance and production optimization. TIG distributes and maintains its product portfolio globally via locations in Rankweil, Schwertberg and Vienna (Austria), as well as York (USA), Shenzhen (China) and Singapore. More than 350 customers and numerous big-name manufacturers of injection moulding, rubber or recycling machines rely on the state-of-art MES solution by TIG.

To save banks the time has come for an Italian TARP
by Luigi Zingales
24 Exclusive content for IT24
Winston Churchill loved to say that the Americans would alway do the right thing — after having exhausted all other possible alternatives.
For Italy's government and its banks, this is a hope more than a certainty. The only certainty is that every possible alternative to save the Italian banking system has been explored, unsuccessfully. And that time is short. Questions as to the real value of deteriorated credit on bank balance sheets is producing a generalized crisis of confidence in the banking system that could end up being devastating.
To avoid it, the only option is direct intervention in the capital situation of banks. It's not a recommendation that I offer with a light heart — but desperate times call for desperate measures. And desperation there is.
The reason why I came to this conclusion some time ago is the first-hand experience I had with the US crisis of 2007-2008. In that case as well, the first attempt was to create a fund to acquire toxic debt (the American version of our deteriorated loans), then to have the state buy them. In the end, it became clear that the only solution was to inject public capital into the banking system.
In an ideal world, this would be carried out by the Italian Treasury. Since we don't live in an ideal world, and EU rules forbid a move like that before having carried out a bail-in for 8% of bank assets, the only possible solution is to go through the Cassa depositi e prestiti (CDP) outside the perimeter of the state.
First of all, we understand the size of the problem — about €200 billion worth of deteriorated credit valued at 40%, while the market insist on valuing it at 20%. So a capital infusion equal to €40 billion would be able to absorb the losses even in the worst case scenario, thus calming account holders and bond holders.
Thus the CDP should commit itself to invest in every bank a figure equating to 20% of non performing loans. The secret is to issue the capital in the form of "preferred" convertible shares. The advantage of U.S. preferred shares compared with ours is that they are redeemable by the issuer at a predetermined value. If the bank is healthy, it can easily, over successive months, issue ordinary shares on the market to re-acquire the preferred shares it issued, protecting the value of existing shares. If, instead, the bank is not healthy, this capital can serve as a guarantee.
The preferred shares are subordinate to all debt (including subordinated bonds) but they have priority over existing shares.
So this doesn't protect shareholders, but only account holders and bond holders. If losses are high, existing shareholders are swept away and preferred shares become ordinary shares.
To avoid bankers profiting, US preferred shares are bound to three important clauses. First, it's prohibited to pay any form of dividend on ordinary shares until the preferred are reacquired. Second, there are rigid (and very low) limits on management compensation. Third, they contain a warrant (the right to purchase additional shares at a predetermined price that is above the current market price). This guarantees the taxpayer part of the benefit of the transaction if it succeeds. We need to follow that example.
In the US case, the preferred shares had no voting rights until they were converted, because there was fear of an excessive interference in credit allocation. Obviously, this problem also exists in Italy but — given the inferior quality of Italian corporate governance — there's also a risk that management would profit from taxpayer money.
That's why I think it was a good compromise to assign to the preferred shares the right to name the entire board of auditors and the chairman of the board, leaving current shareholders the right to manage the company, at least until the preferreds are converted.
There's obviously a political problem. In the US, government intervention produced the Tea Party in reaction and, in a way, created a degree of consensus around a personality like Donald Trump. How can we avoid that happening in Italy?
On one hand, it's necessary to explain what the alternative is:the Etruria case times one hundred. State intervention isn't meant to rescue bankers but to save account holders and all those who were sold supposedly "secure" bank bonds.
And on the other hand, there must be no shadow of a doubt that the move was meant to protect the usual suspects. So there should be an investigatory commission set up, composed not of politicians but of independent experts. They must determine the potential responsibility of people and institutions and bring their findings publicly to Parliament within nine months.
At this difficult time, the government should not be afraid to act: inaction would be a much greater fault. Nor should it fear that Italian citizens won't understand. If appropriately informed, they are more than able to understand and today, more than ever, they deserve respect and trust. The important thing is not to lie to them by saying that it's all the U.K.'s fault. Brexit was only the famed spark, all the rest is locally produced.

Adjusting to college life can be a daunting task for any freshman. For those whose first quarter of classes coincides with their first season of college football, it's even more difficult.
"Being a freshman here is a tough thing," said OSU defensive tackle John Simon.
To ease the transition from high school to college, the football staff instituted a program in fall 2006 that pairs an incoming freshman with a "big brother" on the team.
"The older guy just looks after the younger guy and calls him if he needs help … getting situated," Simon said.
There is no formula for determining the brothers — the decision is up to the coaching staff.
"I think it mostly goes by position, but whoever they assign for you, you got," Simon said.
Coach Stan Jefferson, who serves as director of player development and runs the program, had more insight.
Though communication among brothers is encouraged, the level of involvement between players is up to the individuals, defensive back Donnie Evege said.
Because most freshmen do not have cars, big brothers often get calls to give their little brothers rides to team events.
They also go to the movies, the mall or other social activities together.
Junior tight end Spencer Smith often finds himself playing online video games with safety C.J. Barnett and tight end Nic DiLillo, the two younger brothers he has had.
The bottom line is that formally introducing freshmen to older players provides a level of comfort, Smith said.
The program can also be helpful to those who are more outgoing and don't feel the need to reach out to their older brother.
"There wasn't a lot of times I had to go to (former OSU safety Kurt Coleman) … but just the feeling of knowing that any time I could go to him for advice made a world of difference for me," Evege said.
The freshmen football players must balance their commitment to team events with what, for many, is the most difficult academic workload they have had. Having a connection with a player who has been through the same process is helpful.
Jefferson pointed out that the struggle is not isolated to the football team.
"There are challenges for any freshman who comes to school in terms of a new academic environment," he said.
Players are expected to remember their big brother and emulate them when they have freshmen to look out for.
"Once you do have that good relationship with your big brother, you can see how they made you feel … and you can make those younger guys feel like they can come to you for anything," Smith said.
The relationship with his older brother, New York Giants practice-squad player Jake Ballard, has continued since Ballard left OSU, Smith said.
Smith's case is not an exception.
Even though he doesn't have a little brother this year, Smith has stayed close with DiLillo and Barnett.


There are two types of fees charged by the universities in UK. One is for the UK/EU students that is home student fees and the other one is for the non UK/EU students which is the international student fees.
Fees for UK/EU students: for home students, this fee charged by the UK institutions can go up to a maximum limit of 9250 Pounds for undergraduate degree programs. Though it varies according to the university and the subject. Home students are also privileged to get a scholarship or funding either from the university or the research council or via a career sponsorship scheme.
Fees for NON UK/EU students: For international students, the fees for the courses in under graduation usually start from 10000 Pounds for lecture based courses and for certain specific courses in medicine and engineering, it can go up to 38000 pounds. For post graduate programs the course fee varies somewhat between 11000 to 32000 pounds depending on the lecture or laboratory based courses.
Scholarship and Funding: A large scale of scholarships are offered by the Government, the individual universities, independent organizations and many charitable organizations. The official websites for academics of UK government provide the details of scholarships available from the British Council and other organizations. If you are applying in one of your desired universities in UK, it is always advisable to go through the overview of the support system and scholarships available in your own country. The only difficulty with UK scholarship programs are the fact that they are more widely available for masters programs compared to the undergraduate courses. However it is always worthy to go through the official website of your chosen university as there might be a chance for the undergraduate students having exceptional quality.
It is a tradition for international students to live in the university hall residence during the first year of their course work. Many universities offer hall residence both with and without catering service. For catering service, the fee is included in the rent they charge. The students often shift in rented apartments in a group or single handedly in the latter years of their course work. University residence halls or a shared accommodation is definitely more affordable.
According to one of the surveys done by the National Student Accommodation Survey 2017, students pay about 125 pounds per week on an average for housing rent. It is notable, however, the cost of living in London is much high than the rest of the UK. The house rent paid by a student in London costs about 185 to 190 Pounds per week. Another 70 to 80 pound per month must be included for paying the bills of internet and other utilities.
On an average you need to pay 30 pounds for food for a week. Once in a while you may go to a pub or restaurant or indulge yourself in a night out with a group of friends. A single meal would cost you about 12 to 15 pound where as a night out can be as expensive as 30 pounds, that too outside London.
If you are living at a distance from your university, you may include your transport cost between 10 to 15 pounds per week.
Books and other course materials: Since tuition fees don't include the books and other course material depending on lectured based or laboratory based course work, you are expected to spend about 30 pounds per month for these essential equipment.
Apart from all the above expenditures, mobile and clothing are necessary on a regular basis. The mobile phone bill is likely to be 15 pounds monthly on an average. Besides, the expenditure clothing and other little requirements might cost you around 35 to 55 pounds in a month.


Sponsored by Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Inc.
"WHAT ARE WE DOING TO VIETNAM?"
MODERATOR. I'm Wilbur Forrester, former 1st Lt. in the United States Marine Corps. During my 13 months in Vietnam, I spent five months as a Civil Affairs Officer on the regimental level. The topic of our panel tonight will be "What We Are Doing to Vietnam." Certainly testimony that we've had previously in this Winter Soldier Invetigation has shown very well the effects to the ecology, the land, and the atrocities performed on the people, physically. We will not go into that type of testimony on this panel: we will focus our attention primarily on the cultural aspects. I'd like at this time for the panel to introduce themselves and give you a brief background.
SPELLMAN. My name is J.W. Spellman, and I'm a teacher.
CLARK. My name is Jim Clark. I was in Vietnam from 1966 through 1969. I was there originally with the Agency for International Development. I resigned from that organization 1968 and took a position with Catholic Relief Services. I coordinated a project dealing with social welfare and the training of social workers in Vietnam under that. With AID I was a refugee officer for a year on the central coast and I spent a little over a year in Saigon as a special assistant for voluntary agencies. The remarks I will make will be primarily related to refugees and the problems associated with the generation of large numbers of refugees in Vietnam.
EMENY. My name is Mary Emeny. I was in Vietnam in 1967-68 with the American Friends Service Committee. Home was a Buddhist orphanage in Da Nang and after the Tet offensive, or the Tet whatever-you-call-it in 1968, I spent a large amount of time in Hue, some in Quang Tri and Cam Lo in refugee camps and mostly working with refugees and Buddhists in Central Vietnam.
CRAVEN. I'm J. Craven. I'm a student at Boston University and I was recently on a student delegation to Vietnam. I was in North Vietnam between December 4th and December 20th just this past year.
MODERATOR. Okay, we'll open the panel with Dr. Spellman.
SPELLMAN. I should begin by saying that I make no claim to any special expertise in the field of Vietnamese studies. I may have some knowledge of Asian societies in a more general context and it is in this regard that I speak. The United States presence in Vietnam is only one aspect of American involvement in Southeast Asia which is related, in my judgment, to its cultural imperialism throughout most of the traditional societies of the world. At no time in previous human history has the cultural integrity of so many millions of people of the world been threatened as it is today by the United States. This issue this evening touches not merely questions of national self-determination or the right to decide one's own self interest, it involves, if I may say so, matters of the gravest importance regarding the quality and the quantity of the life of this species. We are not very old as far as a species goes.
By our own proclamation, we are the most intelligent, the most powerful, the most creative, and the best of all life that this planet has seen. Indeed, the Book of Genesis tells us that after creating this world, with its apex as man, God gave man dominion over it. Now, we have been around for approximately two million years and our future is reasonably uncertain. Even the dinosaurs, whom we classify as rather dumb creatures, managed to survive for about 12 million years. There are many who question the likelihood of this species surviving for that long a period. The experiments of Darwin on the Galapagos Islands and the work of other scholars have shown that adaptation to environment is crucial to survival.
As I understand these lessons, they mean that each society has its own integrity, physical and cultural. As a consequence of its adaptation, according to its past experiences, its judgment and self-interest, values which may be desirable for one society, cause the gravest physical and mental harm when imposed on another. And it is in this light that I wish to view what we are doing to Vietnam. The bulk of Western values are based on the historical experiences of the Judaic-Christian and Greco-Roman cultures. Of prime importance in that value system has been the role assigned to the importance of belief, and this concept of belief occupies a cardinal role, particularly in Christianity.
Unless, we are told, you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, you shall not have eternal life. And in this sense I wish to contrast that statement with the statement of the Lord Krishna and the Bhagavad Gita, the sacred Hindu text: "Whatsoever divine form any devotee with faith seek to worship, that same is divine." But the beliefs of Christianity were understood as exclusive and excluding beliefs. And it was part of our heritage, and it is part of our heritage to this day, that what is good for us ought to be universal and it ought to be good for everyone.
Earlier in our history we found that those who held a different perspective than we did on religion, and we made our ultimatum very clear, after we had poured scorn and ridicule on these people, calling them heathens and pagans and superstitious polytheists, we then killed them in the name of our religion. And the Crusades and witchcraft and the religious persecutions followed. Later (and this continues today), we felt that we had the righteous responsibility to condemn those who believed in political systems (rather than religious systems) that were different from our own. Thus it became quite legitimate to kill Communists and others simply because they were Communists, and because they believed in a different form of government from ours. There are still those today who believe with all the fervor that righteousness often summons, that we ought to continue on this path of killing those who disagree with us. I believe that we are now on the threshold of a new killing crusade.
Having killed for religious beliefs and then political beliefs, I believe we are now on the threshold of killing for economic beliefs. It takes no prophet to predict that there will be destruction and riots and killings in the name of economic creeds in the future. And that these will seem just as valid as religion and politics have seemed to our predecessors historically. Such values as these are alien to Asian society. Neither Hinduism nor Buddhism, Confucianism nor Taoism have ever engaged in religious crusades because of their beliefs. Indeed, both Hinduism and Buddhism advocate non-injury as among the highest of values.
Truth, Hinduism states, is like a great diamond with many facets, and no person, no government, no institution can see all of the facets of the great diamond of truth. There are not merely two sides, but inherently truth is multi- dimensional. In that area known as Indochina, the great civilizations of India and China and the values of those societies have been merged with the beliefs of life that were held by the peoples of Southeast Asia. How Vietnam is culturally related to the civilization of China. The impact of Confucianism and Taoism is still strong in Vietnamese values, and the Buddhism which arose from India won the hearts of much of Asia as it was adopted to the various cultures of the area.
The Confucian orthodoxy assumed that there was nothing evil or inherently evil in human nature, including, it held, the barbarian nature. But if the barbarian could be reformed by education, then tolerance and kindness were the basis, it held, of a sound foreign policy. Prince Kung enjoined his fellow countrymen to hate the evil that a barbarian might do, but not the barbarian himself; to be kind to men from afar in accordance with the classics, to the end that myriad nations might be tranquilized, that China might flourish, and that not government, but virtue, might prevail throughout the world. Mencius, the great Chinese philosopher, said that all men might have a sense of commiseration. When a commiserating government is conducted from a commiserating heart, then one can rule a whole empire as if one were turning it on one's palm. I say all men have a sense of commiseration; here is a man who suddenly notices a child about to fall into a well. Invariably he will feel a sense of alarm and compassion, and this is not for the purpose of gaining the favor of the child's parents or seeking the approbation of his neighbors and friends, or from fear of blame should he fall to rescue it.
Thus we see that no man is without a sense of right and wrong. And Mencius went on: "The sense of compassion is the beginning of humanity. The sense of shame is the beginning of righteousness. The sense of courtesy is the beginning of decorum, and the sense of right and wrong is the beginning of wisdom. Let every man but attend to expanding and developing these four beginnings that are in our very being, and they will issue forth like a conflagration being kindled and a spring being opened out." To those who will listen, the greatness of the civilization of China speaks far more eloquently than I, or I think anyone else ever could about it.
European travelers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were lavish in their praise. Duhald, whose famous description of China may well be regarded as the synthesis of seventeenth and early eighteenth century works on China, said of Chinese commerce, "The riches peculiar to each province and the facility of conveying merchandise by means of rivers and canals, have rendered the domestic trade of the Empire always very flourishing. The inland trade of China is so great that the commerce of all Europe is not to be compared therewith; the provinces being like so many kingdoms which communicate to each other their respective production. This tends to unite the several inhabitants among themselves and make plenty reign in all the cities."
Yesterday your ambassador petitioned my ministers to memorialize me regarding your trade with China. But his proposal is not consistent with our dynastic usage and cannot be entertained. Hitherto, all European nations, including your own country's barbarian merchants, have carried on their trade with our celestial Empire at Canton. Such has been the procedure for many years. Our celestial Empire possessed all things in prolific abundance and lacks no product within its borders. There was, therefore, no need to import the manufacture of outside barbarians in exchange for our own produce. But as the tea, silk, and porcelain, which the celestial Empire produces, are absolute necessities to European nations and yourselves, we have permitted, as a single mark of favor, that foreign hongs or business associations should be established at Canton so that your wants might be supplied and your country thus participate in our beneficence. But your ambassador has now put forward new requests which completely fail to recognize the throne's principles to treat strangers from afar with indulgence, and to exercise a pacifying control over barbarian tribes the world over. Your England is not the only nation trading at Canton. If other nations, following your bad example, wrongfully importune nay ear with further impossible requests, how will it be possible for me to treat them with easy indulgence? Nevertheless, I do not forget the lonely remoteness of your island cut off from the world by intervening wastes of sea. Nor do I overlook your excusable ignorance of the usages of our celestial Empire. I have consequently commanded by ministers to enlighten your ambassadors on this subject, and have ordered the departure of this mission.
It is regrettable that subsequent leaders of the societies of Asia were not able to speak as forthrightly or have the ability, as the Emperor did in this reply. When we impose our values on traditional societies it is well that we ask what they get for these losses. Thich Nhat Hanh had described some of the cultural impacts as a direct consequence of this war. "Sporadically," he writes, "during the course of the war, there have been expressions of interest in the idea of strategic hamlets."
These were intended to draw people together in an area of some protection, and to make available to them such social services as would improve their lives and introduce the concept of cooperative efforts. On paper they look good. In practice, like every other promise of social improvement in the history of the South Vietnamese government, they turned out to be another device related to the military effort of that government. People were herded into villages against their wills, and the total concept of the village became a military concept. Peasants were forced to leave villages that had been the homes of the families for generations, and in leaving them, to leave behind not only the graves of their ancestors, but many relics and mementoes, including family altars which perished in the same flames which consumed the village. Thus, they went to the new strategic hamlets in a frame of mind to create a new society.
The hamlets were created to keep out the Viet Cong so that the villagers could live in them and not be intoxicated by the Viet Cong. But the fact is that the Viet Cong themselves lived in many of the villages among their fellow Vietnamese. Since the war has become the national preoccupation of Vietnam, the numerous professions serving the war have become numerous and profitable. Literally hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese work at various services for the Americans at their bases, on airfields, in their headquarter buildings, and in many other ways. Landlords are constantly seeking to evict their Vietnamese tenants so they may rent their premises to Americans at prices that are ten or twenty times as high as the Vietnamese are paying. It is almost impossible for Vietnamese to find housing since there are almost no Vietnamese who can afford such prices.
Taxi and pedicab drivers avoid Vietnamese customers for the far more profitable Americans. They do not charge according to the taxi-meter any longer. Americans, accustomed to the costs in their own country, pay ten times as much as the normal rate for such a ride, and in so doing, of course, increase the pressure on the normal Vietnamese person. Profit. In addition, taxi drivers frequently operate a profitable sideline in taking foreigners, especially American soldiers, to girls of "friendly disposition," who will compensate the driver in addition to what he receives from his passenger. Bars, dance halls, and rest halls catering to foreigners, thrive. The number of prostitutes increases daily and at a frightening rate. For many it is the only way in which they can support themselves and their family.
The tradesmen and businessmen working with Americans earn large sums of money, while the majority of their fellow countrymen are going through a major economic crisis. Inflation that occurs from the hoarding of scarce goods for profit, the pouring in of American dollars, and the spending of great sums on non-productive war enterprises--all this means that the Vietnamese, without access to these American funds, are in an increasingly desperate plight. Another large group in the cities are the peasants who fled from their ancestral homes, leaving their possessions and their farms behind. They fled not only from the actual dangers of the war, but from the frustration of a situation in which crops may be grown only to be destroyed by one side or the other as a measure of war to keep the other side from getting them.
Planes of the United States and South Vietnamese Air Forces drop napalm bombs on these crops so that they may be burned rather than fall into the hands of the Viet Cong. In such circumstances, priests and nuns cannot go on preaching morality. The war has destroyed not only human lives, but human values as well. It undermines all government structures and systems of societies, destroys the very foundations of democracy, freedom, and all human systems of values. Its shame is not just the shame of the Vietnamese, but of the whole world. The whole family of mankind will share the guilt if they do not stop this war. It is not possible in this land of thirty million people, 90% of whom are engaged in agriculture, to ignore the terrible destruction that has been brought to the land and families.
Now, when one considers that 80% of the people live on approximately 20% of the land (which was so fertile that Vietnam was known as the "Rice Bowl" of Asia), then that tragedy is heightened. When one considers the great skills of artisans that were handed from father to son as guarded secrets, that now lie somewhere hidden amongst the body count figures, then the loss to the world of art is, I suggest, also not insignificant. When one considers the waters which provided over three hundred kinds of fish along the nine- hundred-mile coastline of Vietnam, which fed much of the population, and the bombs and the chemicals now destroying that form of life, no cease-fire or truce or withdrawal will end the effects of those ravages, which will be felt for generations. But it will not be the Vietnamese alone who will bear this burden or who will suffer this evil, although undoubtedly their burden will be the greatest.
The Buddha has said, and I believe correctly, "Think not lightly of evil, spying it will not come to me. Even a waterpod is filled by the falling of drops; likewise the fool gathering little by little fills himself with evil. Whosoever offends an innocent person, pure and guiltless his evil comes back on himself like fine dust thrown against the wind, and as rust sprung from iron eats itself away when arisen. Even so the deeds and his own deeds leads the transgressor to the states of woe." The fifteen hundred species of wooded plants, of the tropical forest of Vietnam, that provide cover for numberless wild animals, that have been bombed, may appear only a casual consequence of this war. But the ecological toll to Vietnam will be counted there too.
It is difficult for us to understand how great is the feeling for family in Vietnam. Stemming from the principles of Confucianism, the family and not the individual, not the government, was the basic core of society. Through it, honor and loyalty and nobility were expressed. And it was this which was the thread which gave much of the expression of the joy and the warmth and the love for which men live. For it is difficult to understand why it was necessary not only to violate the integrity of the heart of Vietnam in this way, but also to act in such a way that even death was not enough. The decapitations and the body slayings and the other mutilations--which religiously affected the passage of the soul to the next life--even that has not been spared in this war. And when one goes through all of these things and much more in terms of what we are doing to Vietnam, the list becomes enormous--and enormous is a very small word, it seems to me, to describe these things. One asks what are the values that are being imposed on this society; values which we espouse such as efficiency and productivity and urbanization and equality and democracy--values which may indeed be unviable even in our own society.
There is no compelling evidence, certainly no compelling historical evidence, that suggests that democracy necessarily provides a greater degree of justice or happiness than, say, kinship or other forms of government. The evidence with respect to the supporting of the concepts of equality, political equality, has very little philosophic basis to support it, in my judgment. The assumption that illiteracy equals poverty seems to me at best a false assumption. There is a vast degree of difference between our system of education, which is essentially aimed at information for the sake of economic productivity, and that system of education which has been at the heart of Asian education, which is based not on information but on knowledge or on wisdom or enlightenment.
And there is a very considerable difference between wisdom and information, between knowledge and technical ability for productive purposes. And the emphasis on wisdom and knowledge is, I am sorry to say, very little to be found in our own academic system. Now there are some who argue that at least we have been beneficent in terms of what we have done medically--in terms of what we have done in the area of health. Here, too, I think the evidence is not very compelling, particularly if one looks at our own society. There are something like six out of ten adolescents who are supposed to be in need of mental treatment, where there are few people who are not popping one pill or another into themselves, where the competency of physicians in the area of drugs is one of the lowest in the world, where we are, in fact, involved in a gigantic medical vested-interest situation, which under the AMA, the insurance companies, the pharmaceutical companies, the physicians, the government, all underwrite a system of chemical medicine that is related to the chemical productivity of the society.
One wonders how the species could have lived for the nearly two million years that it has--before the introduction of chemical medicine. But the great systems of acupuncture, Chinese medicine, the indigenous systems of medicine--of plant and herb medicine, that have been developed in the countries of Asia; all of these are ridiculed as being primitive superstitions, while more and more chemicals in the forms of medicines are imposed not only on a supine and glib American population, but which we now tout to the rest of the world as being their only salvation for the betterment of their health. It would be a nice idea if perhaps we could have adopted the ancient Chinese system where one paid one's physician only so long as one was well. When one was sick, one didn't pay. Under such a situation, it seems to me, we might be disposed to make a very dramatic reappraisal of that system of medicine which we tout to the rest of the world as being absolutely necessary for their lives.
I hold the same view with respect to the concept of Western law, which seems to me one of the most iniquitous systems of law in the world, and I will explain why. I recently reviewed a book by a scholar from the Sorbonne who was complaining that in India there were great problems in getting Western law introduced at the village level. He was pointing out, which is correct, that the traditional law is free, it is flexible, and it is merciful, as opposed to our own system of law, which is _____ expensive, very rigid, and very harsh. He was wondering why the villagers were so adamant to this progressive system of law that we have in the West, which, once again, we think all the world ought to adopt.
This system of law, of which I speak, involves again, as it does in the field of medicine, an extraordinary vested- interest group which handles the whole business. That is to say, the lawyers are the legislators, the lawyers write the laws, the lawyers are the judges and the lawyers are the prosecutors. The lawyers in fact have the entire system sewed up to such a degree that the law, in its relationship to the people, is a vast gap. A gap which does not exist in the traditional societies of Asia. Any mother, I'm sure, will tell you that if you want to treat people justly, you do not treat them equally. And I suggest to you that the greater the degree of equality you have in a society, the lesser the likelihood of justice in society. I go further than this. If you examine some of the traditional lawbooks of these societies you don't find very many laws. And I am almost disposed to put to you a hypothesis which goes something like this: the greater the number of laws in a society, the less the amount of liberty that society will have. For every law is, by definition, a limitation on the ability to exercise options. When you constantly confine these options, as we do in our legal system (and you have this most incredible vested interest enforcing this), then I believe that our system of law and our concept of law in this society is essentially bankrupt. It is morally bankrupt, just as I believe that our system of medicine is bankrupt, just as I believe that our system of education in bankrupt. And why, in the name of any kind of morality or humanity, we should think that we are giving other societies (which we call "underdeveloped," "backward" societies or, less pejoratively, "Third World") we are giving them any kind of a deal by foisting upon them the rot which many of us cannot even stand in our own society, seems to me a most incredible kind of reasoning.
This goes beyond the suggestions that I make here. We have great ideas about employment in our society. I do not recall in history any other society, including the most dominant slave societies, where people worked for 50 weeks out of a year in order to get a two-week holiday. Not even the most thoroughgoing slave societies had the kind of voluntary slavery which seems to be a hallmark of our society. And now it seems that we have conned the blacks and women and all kinds of other groups into feeling that we're offering them a great deal by joining this kind of slavery. I suggest to you that if the indices of well-being would change with simply one word, and instead of employment we used the concept of self-employment, that this would be one of the most underdeveloped societies in the world. Self-employment is creative employment. Self-employment is the kind of thing you see throughout Southeast Asia--whether it's the family running a teashop or a person taking fruits and vegetables down to the railway station--whatever it is, it is self- employment.
For thy neck with my tears of sorrow.
But mine will hang upon thy breast.
Thou rewardest me with thy grace.
And if there were a prayer that would be appropriate for this situation and for this country, I would, again, take that request from the same poet, who said, "Where the mind is without fear, and the head is held high; where knowledge is free, where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic wars; where words come out from the depths of truth, where tireless striving stretches its arms toward perfection, where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit; where the mind is led forward by thee into ever widening thought and action, into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake."

Decisions Taken Concerning FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ Qualifiers
263Chat · Decisions Taken Concerning FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ Qualifiers
ZURICH, Switzerland/ — Match between Scotland and Ukraine to be rescheduled for June; Poland given bye to Path B final, where they will play either Sweden or Czech Republic; Decisions taken after consultation with UEFA and participating member associations
Today, the Bureau of the FIFA Organising Committee took key decisions in relation to the European play-off matches for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™, following consultation with UEFA and the participating FIFA member associations.
i) Postponement of Scotland v. Ukraine in Path A
On 3 March 2022, the Ukrainian Association of Football wrote to FIFA requesting that its qualification match(es) be rescheduled owing to the impossibility of organising both the travel and training of a team under the current circumstances.
Following consultation with UEFA and the four participating member associations in Path A of the European qualifying play-offs, it was unanimously agreed in the spirit of solidarity to accept this request. The match between Scotland and Ukraine, initially scheduled for 24 March 2022, will now be postponed to the existing June window, and consequently, the match between the winners of Scotland v. Ukraine and Wales v. Austria will also be postponed to the same window.
ALSO ON 263Chat: Old Miltonians Coach Calls it Quits
It was further agreed that the match between Wales and Austria will remain as scheduled on 24 March 2022, owing to the need to limit the disruption to the competitive matches already scheduled for the June window in what is an already congested calendar.
Alternative fixtures for affected teams in the March window are being explored by the relevant parties. Similarly, the details of the rescheduled fixtures will be announced in due course and the international match calendar window of June will be adapted as necessary for the teams concerned once these details have been finalised.
ii) Poland bye to the final in Path B
In addition, subsequent to the decision of 28 February 2022 taken jointly with the UEFA Executive Committee to suspend all Russian teams from participation in both FIFA and UEFA competitions until further notice, the Bureau of the FIFA Organising Committee decided that Poland will receive a bye to the final of Path B due to take place on 29 March 2022, in which they will face the winners of the match between Sweden and the Czech Republic.

Wallabies superstar Israel Folau has 48 hours to respond or face being sacked after being served with a breach notice by Rugby Australia over his controversial social media posts.
Folau is charged with a high level code of conduct breach and its integrity unit has recommended his contract should be terminated.
Castles and Waratahs Chief Executive Andrew Hore addressed throngs of reporters yesterday after the former star Wallabies fullback was handed the breach notice by Rugby Australia four days after posting a homophobic message to social media.


This is the Barefoot Contessa / Ina Garten's Apple Cake Tatin. Instead of the usual pie crust topping, she covers the apples and caramel with a cake.
I used these beautiful sweet/tart apples from Ha's Apple Farm (available at many So Cal farmer's markets). Ina's recipe calls for Granny Smith apples, but these worked fine and were delicious.
Caramelized sugar is made (I'm always amazed that water and sugar can be heated to make this!) and tops the cut apples. I judged it by color and didn't use the thermometer. The presentation of the cake is very pretty, no?
Um, how can you not want this?!
The "cake" part is very delicious. Soft and light...I like it much more than a traditional apple tatin, but then I love upside down fruit cakes!
This fall/winter, if you have a few extra apples, make this lovely cake. You won't be disappointed...nor will your guests!
I really like watching barefoot contessa on food network. I recently bought her book PARTIES!
Oh I keep thinking about his for Xmas time. I wonder if I should try it out!
Thanks for sharing. As always loving your posts!
Ahh! Why have I never thought of this? I love tarte tatin, but my tiny oven doesn't allow for a full pie crust. Next time, it will definitely be with this cake topping. Thanks!
Gorgeous! this looks so beautiful and moist.
Outstanding! My mouth is watering just looking at.

On Sunday and Monday my Facebook news feed blew up.
Of course, everyone had an opinion about the much publicized and politicized court case from Florida that had finally ended late Saturday night in a not guilty verdict for George Zimmerman. Few of the opinions were intelligent enough to warrant reflection on my part. Most just expressed pent up frustration and anger, pointed in blame or cried out for justice. It would not surprise you in the least to know the opinions from my group of friends were basically split along political and racial lines.
I was not alive in 1960s America when the years of racial tension finally exploded and produced the civil rights legislation that changed the face of America and gave an entire subset of American citizens a new reason to dream. I can't relate to the level of violence that was present in that era. I only know what I see now in 2013 and from my vantage point, it doesn't appear as though this country is progressing in a more unifying direction. And that's a shame after 237 years of freedom.
Is it taboo to discuss your age on your blog? If so, I'm engaging in a major faux pas today as I announce that it's my birthday and I'm turning 40. Woo-hoo! Let's here it for all the middle age guys out there!
I've always heard life starts going down hill after turning 40. I'm not sure why people say that. Is it because the average life span in America is 78, so in the mind of most people, your half way home? Is it because people believe the "fun" times of young adulthood – like partying on spring break or at Mardi Gras – are over?
Or is it perhaps that your body starts to catch up with you as more aches and pains come each morning as you roll out of bed?
Now that I'm here, I'm feeling like I don't want to buy into the pessimism of what I've heard.

Meet Brett and Laura; they are very much in love.
This Bride and Groom's story is especially inspiring. Who they get to be for one another in the face of their circumstances leaves me speechless and moved in ways that validate all that I believe to be true.
Let their story act as a guide in your journey of love, I am sure you will be touched, moved and inspired in ways that leave you bowled over as well. They have won my heart and reminded me that it is important to cherish each moment for we know not when the gift of "our life" may actually wrap up.
The blessing of serving this couple came from Brett's sister Carrie Butler, who I met when she photographed one of our mutual weddings last year. Although our time together was brief I immediately felt at home with her and we have stayed in touch since. I especially loved our chat while she was on the road from Utah to San Diego, en route to photograph and attend this wedding; you are a lady after my own heart, and Carrie, it is true, I received so much more out of this than I gave.
Thank you, Brett and Laura for leading the way down love's winding road.
These first links are the words and images of Carrie Butler, speaking from the heart as only a sister can do, I thought it most appropriate to begin here ... In Carrie's post she goes into full detail of all of the generous support of the wedding community. It is truly amazing how this couple has inspired us all.
Please see the links below for the full story through wedding coordinator, Amy Vargas' eyes, of First Comes Love and the media's words, then if you are really brave and have a full box of tissue, meet Brett and Laura as they are interviewed on Fox San Diego News.
The photography posted below is the work of Carrie Butler, Tessa Desharnais, and Kristina Chartier.

Q: How do you use mathematic logical notation to notate a function whose output positively correlates with the input? Suppose the amount of weight John gains from a meal is a function of the number of calories he eats, and that John will gain X weight, such that X>A, if he consumes Y calories, such that Y>B, where A is some lesser amount of weight less than X, and B is some number of calories less than Y.
In other words, we don't specify the exact correspondence, just the fact that the more John eats, the more weight he gains.
I don't know how I'd notate that in a way that I could use in a logical statement. Is there a concise way I could notate it?
Thank you,
-Hal

A: Let $w(x,y)$ denote the weight of person $x$ after consuming $y$ calories.
Thus, $w(x,0)$ gives the current weight of $x$ (after eating no calories), while $w(x,y)$ gives the weight of $x$ after eating $y$ calories.  Similarly, $w(x,y) - w(x,0)$ gives the weight gain after consuming $y$ calories.
Then the relation you describe is expressed :
$$ \text{if } y_1 \gt y_2, \text{ then } w(x,y_1) \gt w(x,y_2)$$

Bob Dyer: What would you do with the blimp?
A new blimp is a big deal in these parts, and my e-mail has been blowing up with comments about Goodyear�s quest for an appropriate name for the first edition of its next-generation airships.
�?�Name reflects storied history and tradition of the Goodyear Airship (20 percent).
�?�Name resonates with the Goodyear airships� long history of public service and community engagement (20 percent).
A team of CPAs apparently will be called in to crunch those numbers and spit out the winner.
Other readers voiced a more basic complaint: The website doesn�t work. When you fill everything out and hit �submit,� they said, nothing happens.
I tried it on Monday and those reports seemed to be accurate: hitting �submit� drew no response whatsoever.
Goodyear initially said it hasn�t had any problems with the website, other than a couple of days when connecting with a mobile device through Facebook wasn�t possible. But after further investigation, Goodyear discovered that �older� versions of Internet Explorer � including Version 9, which was state-of-the-art until early 2013 � are incompatible with the site. So, you can either update your browser or phone in your entry (330-796-3855).
The technical problems must not be too severe, because the company has received more than 12,000 unique entries.
That name seems a lot more fun than, say, �the Spirit of Goodyear.� Blimps are the quirkiest of aircraft and should sport quirky names, if you ask me.
Nobody asks me of course. So I guess I�ll just have to set up my own blimp contest.
Let�s think about that concept for a moment. If you had access to the Goodyear blimp for an entire day, what would you do with it?
Please send me your thoughts via email (preferably) or voicemail. In this contest, unlike Goodyear�s, humor is not only acceptable but encouraged. In fact, humor will account for 59.75 percent of your score.
The winner of my contest will get the indefinite use of a great new book called Blimp Pilot Terrorizes Akron, autographed by its distinguished author.
OK, that�s not quite as intriguing as having the Goodyear blimp at your beck and call for a day. But your odds of winning are considerably better.
Bob: What�s the statute of limitations on an overdue library book?
While cleaning out my mother-in-law�s home, I found a book from the Akron Public Library that is overdue by more than 70 years (25,670 days, to be exact). It was a �28-Day Not Renewable� book that was due Nov. 30, 1943!
Should I return it? I wonder what the fine would be?
Thomas: So that�s where it went! I have been trying to check out that book � The American Revolution Considered As A Social Movement, by J. Franklin Jameson � since 1963. My seventh-grade history paper is now 51 years late.
But at least I finally have a legitimate excuse: Thomas Geiger�s mother-in-law ate my homework.
I suspected Mr. Geiger and his family would be in a heap o� trouble. Still, I advised him to come clean and face the consequences.
Jennings says the book is still in print and is regarded as a classic in its field. But he figures a person who may have placed a hold on the book in 1943 has gotten really tired of waiting.
�This book has been overdue for exactly half the time � 70 years � the Akron system has been providing public library service, which is 140 years, or 51,100 days.
Jim McIntyre of Cuyahoga Falls weighed in on a recent column item about an educational display at Summa�s City Hospital that consisted of a large, walk-through model of a colon.
�You do realize that this thing sits on the floor, don�t you? That means it�s actually a semi-colon.

Home » Sacred Sites » Sacred sites, Heritage and Burials
Archaeological places and objects are protected by the Northern Territory's Heritage Act. Archaeological places may include artefact scatters, shell middens, earth mounds, quarries, stone arrangements, petroglyphs, rock shelters and rock art. When these sites have an Aboriginal tradition associated with them as defined under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act (1979), they are considered sacred sites for the purposes of the Sacred Sites Act.
Aboriginal skeletal remains are considered Aboriginal archaeological places and objects under the Heritage Act. When skeletal remains are found in the Northern Territory, it is the police who should be contacted in the first instance.If they determine that the remains are not of a suspicious nature and may be of traditional Aboriginal origin, they will contact the Heritage Branch responsible for administering the Heritage Act. The Heritage Branch routinely works with the Authority in order to consult the relevant custodians, and be advised of the location of sacred sites in the vicinity of the burial area.
Under the Heritage Act it is an offence to interfere with archaeological places and objects without authorization under that Act.
If you do encounter skeletal remains, it is your responsibility by law to stop any work that is occurring and report such disturbance to the police immediately. If you have reason to believe the remains are those of an Aboriginal burial, this should be reported to the Heritage Branch. For further information you can contact the Heritage Branch, Department of Lands, Planning and the Environment on (08) 8999 5039 or email heritage@nt.gov.au.

Please remove dependency on simul-efuns format_mixed and f_format_mixed as they are deprecated. The correct path of migration is to use the (s)printf efun with the %O token (see (s)printf documentation for details). Components requiring functionality or depend on the formatting produced by format_mixed should re-implement desired functionality (please do not copy and paste existing efun - only implement parts that you require) locally. This simul-efun will be removed within the next week or so.
I am quite aware of the %O token in the (s)printf efun. The output generated by that token doesn't handle buffers (it just shows <buffer>) whereas the sefun shows the data.
If I knew how to override the %O token in (s)printf I would do it that way.

After a bit of thought I came up with a method of overriding the %O token. The sefun scans the format string and changes all %[modifier]O tokens to %[modifier]s tokens and also changes the corresponding argument to fomat_mixed(arg).

On January 9 2007, Steve Jobs premiered the first ever iPhone. Seven years later, the iPhone and it's numerous generations are still going strong, despite the expanding smartphone market and competition: due to the iPhone, Apple makes 50% of the revenue for smartphones globally.
One of their newest models the iPhone 5S is 20% lighter than the original model and 40 times more powerful, evidence of how far our technology has come in just seven years. As of September 30, 2013 420 million iPhones had been sold worldwide. The iPhone alone brings in 53% to Apple's overall revenue, generating massive $91.3 billion. To put that into perspective, that's more than the entire yearly revenue of Microsoft ($77.9b), Coco-Cola ($48b) and Disney ($45b).
Since 2008, 50 billion apps have been downloaded, in 2013 the App Store brought in $10 billion and Apple have paid out $15 billion to app developers.
Apple does not appear to be slowing down and we are curious of what the next seven years will bring.

Wait! Confirmation is supposed to be a big deal? I didn't get a party! I just argued with the Sunday School teacher who was running confirmation about wearing pantyhose. She insisted that all the girls wear hose. I pointed out that 1. we were wearing long dresses and 2. we lived in the Panama Canal Zone, where the humidity and the heat made wearing hose quite uncomfortable.
I had no such issues with my first communion. My mom made my dress and my veil, which I didn't like. I didn't want a fluffy veil, I wanted a simple draped one like the other girls. And I wanted a long dress, not a short one. Oh well. Do I get to still carry a grudge about that 40 years later?
Indeed nursing those little grudges helps to keep the memories alive.
My mom wouldn't let me wear a veil–said it looked too much like a wedding ceremony. Instead I had a floral wreath on my head which in retrospect looks very cute in the pics.

Tax Compliance, Inc. announces the launch of the latest version of its LicenseHQ business license and permit compliance software. Major enhancements include e-mail notifications, configurable exports, a customizable check request, and new data import tools.
LicenseHQ provides better control over the license compliance process through the use of proactive user e-mail notifications of upcoming events and tasks, such as renewing a license or approving a payment. Customers can configure settings in user profiles to regulate who receives notifications, what notifications they receive, and how often they receive them. The focus of such notifications may be narrowed by task type, and whether users wish to receive past due notices or proactively receive summaries of upcoming tasks. Managers, whose primary responsibilities include approving payments, can configure LicenseHQ to send them notices when there are tasks requiring their attention. Additionally, LicenseHQ can send reminder notifications for personnel to perform regular system backups.
Customers may now configure data exports from LicenseHQ and create custom check requests for submission to A/P. Such control ensures payment request files exported from LicenseHQ may be imported into any A/P system without wasting time on outside data manipulation and that paper requests have a look and feel consistent with any company standards. For large organizations handling license compliance for multiple legal entities, LicenseHQ can now create check requests to include payments for more than one company.
The new Find and Replace tools on the import review page allow for easier data cleanup during the import process. These new features ensure customers import clean data and help minimize the time they spend on data import tasks. Other LicenseHQ import tools such as the use of alternate spellings for jurisdictions and the ability to export work files make importing even easier.

Treatment for varicose veins, venous insufficiency, and venous ulcers is covered by Pinnacle Claims Management Insurance but insurance companies like Pinnacle typically want to make sure that you are not seeking treatment simply for cosmetic purposes. They want to be confident that you do have some problems with the circulation or symptoms associated with your varicose veins.
We regularly work with Pinnacle Claims Management to get pre-approval for patients seeking varicose vein treatment so we understand the different requirements that each insurance company has.


The British vote to leave the EU in the referendum of summer 2016 was a shock to all European countries. This result shock was not particularly expected so it created an unexpected situation with no precedent in the EU history. Even though there were strong indications that Brexit could prevail in the referendum, it seems that its serious consequences to a number of legal issues had not been analytically predicted.
Besides, it is known that the Treaty of European Union did not initially provide an exit process for its members and that this was firstly introduced in 2009 by the amendments made by the Lisbon Treaty, which regulated for the first time an exit process for EU members through the well-known now article 50.
Article 50 provides for the member state that wishes to exit the EU to notify the European Council by a relevant notice which triggers a 2-year period of negotiations between the EU and that state. In case the negotiation period is not enough, there is a possibility to extend it but all member states of the EU should unanimously agree to that extension.
It is very interesting, in my opinion, speaking from a legal perspective to examine certain issues that are related to the type and form of the notification of article 50 itself and in particular to underline from a legal perspective whether that notification is lawfully expressed which is a matter that should be examined according to European law and not according to the national law of the state that makes the notification.
The above issue is included in a category of legal matters that arise from the differences between certain national laws and European law, and highlights the legal "gaps" that the UK –not very rarely- had to deal with when applying European rules.
Personally speaking, another issue that is very interesting is the possibility for a member state to exit the EU not according to article 50 but by an alternative way such as, for example, by just repealing the European Treaty or by following the procedure of article 54 of the Vienna Treaty. A less interesting matter is also the attempt of an academic comparison of the Greenland case to the Brexit, which are essentially different to each other since Greenland was not actually a state.
However, the above matters seem to have been overcome after the well-known decision of the Supreme Court that obliged the British government to ask for the Parliament's consent before making the relevant notification –triggering article 50- a decision followed by a more mature process and for that clearly accepted for a number of legal and political reasons.
However, despite the fact that the exact final form of Brexit will be a result of negotiations on Treaties and laws, it is clearly a matter that is directly connected to a number of practical results on the basic EU freedoms, such as the free movement and establishment of persons, services, businesses etc.
In reality I believe that not even the governments are able, at least for the time being -taking into consideration the lack of any precedent in the EU history - to realize in its full extent the legal issues arising in relation to each and every sector of freedom, as provided in the Treaty on the EU (which shall now be replaced by another multilateral treaty or even by bilateral treaties) or to every sector of activity.
c) on their employees' ability to remain in the UK or not.
Even businesses which are not located in the UK are directly affected by the Brexit because of the business agreements that they have for selling products or providing services in the UK, since now these businesses have to immediately solve all issues related to their ability to continue their agreements and manage all negative results of the Brexit. I will soon publish another article for this particular matter.
In the present article, I would try to present the basic alternative forms that Brexit could have and the practical results for each one of them, in a simple way so that it could be understood by non legal experts.
This potential does not seem very likely to me, but if it were to be chosen it would clearly mean that all freedoms and rights provided by the Treaty on the EU would automatically apply to the UK as well. The states that are currently in the EEA are Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. If that is the case, not only all European freedoms and rights would apply to the UK as well, but also the obligation for the UK to comply with the European Regulations. Personally speaking, this particular potential would be very odd from a political rather a legal perspective. This is because the UK has voted to leave the EU aiming at being more independent and more able to "legislate on its own" and especially to exercise its own immigration policy etc. It would be in fact very weird that after all the negotiations with the EU, the UK leaved the EU but entered the EEA. However, anything is possible in politics.
This potential would result in the UK adopting the European Regulations for a series of matters while it would be left independent to regulate others. Being independent, though means on the other hand that not all rights will apply for the UK. For example, by virtue of bilateral Treaties between Switzerland and the EU, the free movement and establishment of persons and, therefore, basically all relevant EU regulations apply for Switzerland as well. However, there are sectors for which Switzerland does not enjoy full access to the European market, for example to the sector of financial services.
It's hard to predict and practically we all have to wait and see what the outcome of these weird negotiations could be, since we should not forget that the UK is the first country exiting the EU and as such no legal precedent exists.
It would also be quite interesting, from a clear legal perspective, if a unique deal between the UK and the EU is achieved, how many of the national UK laws are to be replaced.
This is the potential that is the most challenging from a legal perspective. Generally, in case the UK achieves no deal or no bilateral Treaty with the EU and, all transactions, sales of products and services will be subject to the regulations under the World Trade Organization (WTO), meaning that there will be no free movement of products and services and that tariffs and restrictions will be imposed. All current business agreements would face a tremendous "legal shock" since free movement will be abolished and all the current agreements would be burdened with extra expenses or extra procedures for both parties.
Free movement of businesses and services, the status of unified/ single business license, also known as business passport, will also be fully abolished leading businesses to either have relocate to other states of the EU or to apply for a national license to operate but without knowing exactly the prerequisites for its acceptance since this matter will be regulated by the British law. Of course, this is also the case for the British businesses that operate in the EU states using the European "passport". According to EU rules a single / unified license from the county of origin is enough in order to operate in all European countries so no other national license is required by the authorities of the state in which the operation takes place.
As far as persons are concerned, the results of such a potential are obvious after the abolishment of the free establishment and movement principal. This very matter is important for them both as individuals and as employees of businesses that are under free movement and working status.
It is very interesting for those who deal with international law matters to try to categorize the results of Brexit depending on its alternatives.
The different results may be also categorized based on the basic freedoms, as provided in the European Treaty. Another type of categorizing the Brexit results is also, by distinguishing between persons and businesses. Finally, an important classification could be the one based on different sectors of business activities since the Brexit results may have different impacts on different business sectors.
