Previously on marketinglaw we reported a case in which the absence of consumer advertising played a crucial part in the revocation of a trade mark registration for lack of use.
The Court of Appeal pronounced judgment on an appeal by French seaweed product specialists Laboratoires Goemar ("LG") against the revocation of its UK registered trademark "Laboratoires De La Mer" for perfumes and cosmetics ("the Brand").
The decision appealed against was reported earlier on marketinglaw. The verdict then was that LG had failed to use the Brand in connection with the registered products for a continuous period of at least 5 years and therefore should lose the registration.
The verdict had hinged to a considerable extent on the absence of any advertising or sale by LG to UK end users of products sold under the Brand during the 5 year period. On appeal, LG argued that the absence of such retail advertising and sale should not be fatal to the Brand.
They pointed out that during the 5 year period they had delivered 5 batches of Branded products to their UK importer. They had been packed in containers bearing the Brand and in LG's submission this should be sufficient to classify as "genuine use" and therefore allow them to retain the registration.
The Court of Appeal agreed with LG.
Simply because the UK importer of the products had not got round to advertising or selling the product to end users in the UK during the 5 year period should not be fatal to LG's registration. The end user market was not the only relevant market in which a mark needed to be used to give rise to genuine use for the purposes of keeping a trademark registration alive.
Goods bearing the Brand had been sold by LG to the UK importer in arm's length transactions and although the quantities involved were modest, these events were still "external" to LG and the result of the sales was that goods bearing the Brand were in different ownership in different hands in the UK. In the appeal court's view, use of the Brand by importation by a single importer into a member state could be sufficient to demonstrate that such use was genuine.
In all the circumstances therefore the Court of Appeal upheld LG's appeal and set aside the previous order for revocation of the trademark registration.
Registered trademark owners often fail to appreciate the necessity for genuine use of the trademark in every country where it is registered, failing which the registration can be lost.
This case shows that even if there is no advertising and sale of products under the brand in question to end users, importation to a wholesaler or agent can be sufficient to amount to genuine use, thus keeping registration of a mark alive. But as ever the decision turned on its own facts: to be on the safe side, registered brand owners should ensure respectable levels of marketing and sales to end users at least once during any five year period and keep a full record of all this activity.

The conflict in north-east Nigeria, going on for its tenth-year, has exacerbated vulnerabilities and led to human suffering. In 2015, IOM joined the international community to scale up humanitarian response interventions, and since then, IOM has provided humanitarian assistance to more than 780,000 displaced individuals and host communities. Under the 2019 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP), IOM aims to continue to humanitarian assistance to communities affected by the ongoing conflict, and scale up its recovery and transition interventions, under the following main programmatic areas: Shelter; Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Non-Food Items (NFI), Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) livelihood, Capacity Building, Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS), Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM).
Despite successful interventions, a sustained and consistent response remains an imperative given the protracted and emerging needs. With more than 2 million women, children and men displaced in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe (IOM DTM report round 25), humanitarian needs are widespread and grave protection concerns exist. In many locations (concentrated mainly in Borno state and northern Adamawa) access to basic services remains limited. Humanitarian needs also peak periodically in various locations as a result of insurgency activities (which leads to sudden displacements), and weather occurrences which worsen already vulnerable situations. In the context of severe humanitarian needs and ongoing hostilities, access constraints continue to limit humanitarian reach to vulnerable populations. Some 800,000 people are estimated to be in hard-to-reach areas, and military operations are contributing to the influx of some of these people (weekly average of 4,500) into accessible areas. Movement patterns remain unpredictable and continue to overwhelm humanitarian capacities: a potential 318,000 new displacements could occur between January-April 2019, due to the ongoing conflict. Additionally, up to 200,000 refugees from neighbouring countries are likely to return as conditions stabilize.
In line with the 2019 HRP for North-East Nigeria, and in accordance with the Government of Nigeria's priorities, IOM Nigeria's strategy centers on integrated and coordinated life-saving assistance, enhanced humanitarian access and strengthened protection of civilians, and durable solutions, especially for those returning home. As such, IOM aims to continue to scale up and strengthen its protection, shelter/NFI, CCCM, WASH, as well as establish and maintain humanitarian hubs to facilitate humanitarian presence in hard to reach areas. Additional priorities include introducing cash-based assistance where feasible, enhanced counter-trafficking support, and increased livelihood and early recovery activities. Recognizing the importance of a well-coordinated and multi-sectorial approach, IOM will continue to play a central role in coordination and inter-agency bodies for the northeast crisis. This will allow the Organization to feed into overall humanitarian response strategies and priorities and support a coherent response across the board. In addition to participating in all relevant sector working groups, IOM currently co-leads two sector working groups, together with relevant branches of the Nigerian Government, namely the Shelter/NFI/CCCM sector working group, and the MHPSS sub-sector working group. IOM also actively participates in the Operational Humanitarian Country Team (OHCT), the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT), Operational United Nations Country Team (OUNCT), United Nations Country Team (UNCT), the High-level Task Force on Returns (HLTF), and the Humanitarian Hubs Task Force (HHTF).
Moving forward, IOM will contribute to inter-agency efforts for the achievement of 2019 Nigeria multi-year Humanitarian Response Plan. IOM will continue to support a robust engagement with the Government, as well as the implementation of the humanitarian-development nexus in the northeast, where feasible. It is imperative that critical lifesaving assistance remains, especially in parts of Borno and Adamawa states. However, in more stable pockets, transition/recovery response activities may be successfully undertaken to bridge humanitarian-development divides, and in realization of the new way of working. In line with the aforementioned objectives, IOM is developing its Migration Crisis Operational Framework (MCOF) for Nigeria (to be released early this year) with the aim of initiating development-principled programming to establish the foundations for longer-term recovery, in complement to its ongoing humanitarian response.

Facilitating early recovery and livelihoods through access to sustainable income-generating opportunities, rehabilitation of community infrastructures and restoration of governance in north-east Nigeria
Amount Requested: USD 4,779,440 Amount Received: USD 425,772
This project seeks to contribute to the recovery and resilience-building of conflict-affected populations through a series of community support interventions. As people continue to return to places of origin, there is an urgent and significant need to restore infrastructure, promote early recovery of economic means of livelihood, and facilitate a robust resilience building process. Livelihood programme interventions will include Cash for Work (CFW) and vocational skills training. Vocational skills training will be organized as per labour market assessments to create human capital, as necessary for the early recovery phase, with a special focus on youth. Each targeted beneficiary will also receive business start-up capital to establish small scale businesses. CFW and skilled labour schemes will support activities such as comprehensive neighbourhood upgrades and light community infrastructure rehabilitation. Cash-based interventions are planned for the project, for accessible areas where this modality is feasible. These will aim to empower affected populations, promote peaceful co-existence and benefit local economies.
Responding to the urgent health needs of IDPs and host communities in newly accessible areas in north-east Nigeria
Through this project, IOM will support the provision of health services and provide dedicated coordination capacity to the MHPSS Working Group in north-east Nigeria. The organization will also provide capacity building activities targeting national and international health actors.
Protecting and promoting mental health and psychosocial wellbeing of conflict-affected population in north-east Nigeria
Through this project IOM will aim to protect and promote the mental health and psychosocial wellbeing of conflict-affected people in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states, This will be achieved by: 1) the direct provision of MHPSS and protection services through mobile IOM MHPSS teams and safe spaces; 2) the implementation of capacity building initiatives targeting national and international protection and MHPSS service providers; and 3) the mainstreaming of MHPSS, Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA), counter-trafficking (CT) and GBV risk mitigation principles across the humanitarian response in the north-east.
Protection / Child Protection Sub-Sector
Child Protection Response in North-East Nigeria
The proposed project aims to strengthen the MHPSS response to the humanitarian crisis that has developed in Nigeria. The MHPSS services will under this project target children, adolescent youth and caregivers. Services will include; lay counselling to provide basic emotional support to distressed children and caregivers, informal education to adolescents and adults, child protection sensitization and case identification, health talks, and recreational activities with a therapeutic aim targeting children and adolescent youth especially. IOM will also provide integrated small-scale livelihood activities to adolescent youth and caregivers to support longer-term outcomes and resilience. Referral teams will be established and be made responsible for conducting preliminary assessments of potential mental health cases and the referral for specialized care. These teams will also support patients in following up their treatment and in the provision of psycho-education to caregivers. In hard-to-reach areas, IOM will continue to support the deployment of psychiatric nurses (from the Federal Neuro Psychiatric Hospital of Maiduguri).
Protection / GBV Sub-Sector
Gender-Based Violence (GBV) prevention and response in north-east Nigeria
This project aims to strengthen the existing protection and Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) response in north-east Nigeria. To this end, the project will respond to cases of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in camp and camp-like settings. IOM MHPSS Mobile Teams will provide survivors of GBV with Psychological First Aid (PFA) to attend to acute needs of the individual and support long-term interventions by referring them to specialized services (legal, medical, mental health). IOM will provide survivors of GBV with structured psychosocial counselling, either as a stand-alone service or to complement other specialized services. Moreover, families of GBV survivors will be provided with structured psychosocial counselling and family support sessions.

Poor rainfall raising concerns about current and future food security in Central America and Haiti
By Emergency Live Last updated Mar 25, 2022
Urgent food assistance in the region is currently required for households already experiencing acute food insecurity. Forecasts indicate likelihood of consecutively poor Primera and Postrera seasons
Rainfall performance has been poor across much of Central America and Haiti during the Primera/Printemps season, raising concerns about current and future food security. Forecasts for continued below-average rainfall through July, together with the very high probability that the ongoing El Niño (ENSO) will continue through at least December, increase chances of consecutively poor Primera/Printemps and Postrera/Automne seasons. Urgent food assistance is currently required for households already experiencing Crisis (IPC Phase 3) acute food insecurity. Close monitoring of the Postrera/Automne season is needed, as are preparations for the likelihood of increased assistance needs.
The start of the Primera/Printemps rainy season was late by 20 to 40 days in many areas, delaying planting in much of the region. In addition, extended dry spells and below-average rainfall in May and late June significantly disrupted the development of crops (maize and beans) planted on time. While rainfall increased in some areas in June, this is unlikely to significantly improve the outlook for Primera/Printemps harvests. The seasonal decline in rainfall in July (the canícula) is likely to be drier than normal and occur before crops have matured. Additional rainfall in July could prevent extreme crop losses, but forecasts suggest continued dryness. Worst-affected areas include dry zones of western and eastern Guatemala, southern Honduras, western and eastern El Salvador, central and western Nicaragua, and northern and southern Haiti (see Figure 1). This poor seasonal performance follows a below-average Primera/Printemps season in 2014. FEWS NET estimates that at least one million people in affected areas of Central America and Haiti are currently in Crisis (IPC Phase 3).
For the Postrera/Automne season, September to November rainfall is likely to be below average. The CPC/IRI ENSO Forecast indicates a 98 percent chance that the ongoing El Niño event, which is broadly associated with below-average rainfall in Central America and the Caribbean, will continue through December. NMME, ECMWF, and IRI forecasts covering September to November also suggest rainfall in eastern Guatemala, Haiti, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Honduras will be below average. In addition, household access to seeds and inputs will likely be constrained by below-average income and production from the ongoing Primera/Printemps season. As a result, many areas are likely to have below-average production for a second consecutive season. Overall, annual crop production among small-scale producers could be up to 75 percent less than usual.
Although harvests in late 2015 may temporarily improve food security outcomes, an early exhaustion of food stocks, below-average labor income, increased market dependence, and earlier than usual increases in staple food prices are likely to reduce poor households' purchasing power and lead to an early and more severe 2016 lean season. Crisis (IPC Phase 3) is likely during the 2015/16 consumption year in the dry area in western and eastern Guatemala, southern and western Honduras, eastern and western El Salvador, northern and central Nicaragua, and northern and southern Haiti. If both the Primera and Postrera seasons perform poorly, the number of people in need of emergency food assistance in 2016 is likely to be greater than current estimates, particularly as planned food assistance programming ends in Guatemala after August and September.
Current Crisis (IPC Phase 3) populations require urgent assistance to mitigate food consumption gaps. Continued monitoring will be required in order to evaluate Postrera/Automne seasonal progress, and preparation should be made for assistance delivery in anticipation of deteriorating food security outcomes. This scenario would likely change if Postrera/Automne seasonal performance prospects improve. FEWS NET will continue to monitor seasonal progress and available forecasts to provide updated analysis.

How do I know if I had PPI?
What is a PPI Claim?
No original documents of policy number required.
We are often asked the question, what is the time limit of a PPI claim and just how far back can I claim? Many financial institutions often give the impression that the time limit fora PPI claim is six years. In many cases we have been able to claim up to 30 years. The banks deliberately state six years as they are trying to limit the number of claims.
Financial institutions are required by law to keep records for six years after the completion date of the initial loan. This six year is the minimum number of years that any financial institution or business must keep clients details on file. In many cases lenders will have records going back well into the 1990s. The main problem is that all lenders have different methods and durations of keeping their records so whereas a claim for maybe 12 years from one company may not be possible from another company.
Another factor to take into account is some companies were regulated by different organisations until regulation became standardised in 2005. So while some companies would be required to review your claim others would not have to due to regulations that were in place at that time.
If you do have the original paperwork and documents for the loan that you believe payment protection insurance was mis-sold then most certainly these time limits do not apply.
It is definitely worth checking all loan and credit agreements as payment protection insurance was often added without the client's knowledge by unscrupulous sales staff who could earn a decent commission from sales of these policies. Due to the huge commissions that were being paid to staff to sell these policies this led to many unscrupulous and underhand activities hence the reason why there is so much PPI mis-selling.
Having been employed in the banking industry for a number of years and dealing with customer complaints on a regular basis we have strategies in place to bypass any hurdles and problems and clients may be experiencing.
If you would like further details on the best way to claim your PPI refunds please feel free to give me us ring on 01752 840623 or alternatively enter your name and e-mail address in the form on this page and we will contact you shortly.
Is there a PPI time limit?
At present there is no time limit in relation to the recovery of mis-sold Payment Protection Insurance (PPI). The Banks are addressing countless thousands of PPI policies each week, stretching back all the way to the 1980s. We have been successful in recovering monies for clients, with our oldest claim, to date, being from 1987.
However, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced in September 2015 that it was to meet with the Banks and look at setting a time limit in order to bring, what is probably the longest and costliest financial scandal that the UK Banks have ever had to face, to a conclusion. The FCA are working with the Banks and consumer groups in order to bring about a timely conclusion to the PPI selling scandal, so that a line can effectively be drawn under it.
In order to be able to protect consumers, the FCA are looking to set a deadline for some time in spring 2018, but an exact date will be announced in spring 2016. Whilst this is some time away, it is essential that if you have not already looked (for whatever reason) at whether PPI was applied to any facilities that you have had in the last 20 to 30 years and regardless of what type of facilities they were (and certainly ranging from credit cards through to loans and mortgages) then you must do so without delay!
Although the time limit is some two and a half years away (from the end of 2015), this time will certainly fly by, and it would be ridiculous if you did not take this opportunity to review any old facilities that you have had, even if it is just to establish that you did not have any PPI or that the facilities were too old, or no details of PPI could have been applied. At least if you do this, you can put a line under your own personal circumstance, and you will not be kicking yourself as to what might have been, which you will always do if you do not act now and look at these facilities.
We are incredibly experienced, if not specialised, in looking at facilities where no paperwork or information is provided. As long as we know the name of the Lender, we are able to approach them and, with some persistence, are then able to establish on the vast majority of cases whether PPI was applied to any of the older facilities, or not. Of course, this applies to facilities which may be open or closed and regardless of whether you know, at the outset, whether PPI was applied in the first place.
The vast majority of people have no recollection as to whether PPI was part of any loan or credit card facilities that they had, but they still look at making a claim. These claims can provide a fantastic conclusion if a refund is acquired, and a surprising one at that!
We have had countless numbers of people who will swear blind that they had no PPI in the past because they would never sign up to something like that, or they believe it clearly must be too old. Yet, with our work, we have been able to not only establish that PPI was applied, but also confirm that it was mis-sold and obtained a refund for them.
PPI was the scourge of the finance industry in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s. Basically, any facility that anybody had, regardless of the period of time that it was open over, could well have had PPI applied, whether they knew it or not.
The reason why PPI was so widely mis-sold is because the vast majority of people were unaware whether they had the protection applied, as the Banks were extremely adept at covering up the premiums and the product in order to make sure that it was attached to the vast majority of borrowing that they sold.
We know, from personal experience from working for one of the large High Street Banks, that a minimum of 95% of any borrowing had the insurance applied to it. If you apply this across the board throughout the lenders, you can see the scale of potential PPI on all the facilities that were provided on a daily basis. Indeed, it only looks like about 10% of any policy with PPI has been paid out so far, and therefore the 90% or so of policies remaining are yet to be claimed!
It is essential that no barriers or PPI time limit put in your way to seek the information that is required to look into PPI. Therefore, we will always conduct any research on your behalf on a "No Win No Fee" basis in order to protect you.

Is the "Foot Drive" Cue a Major Misstep?
"Drive your foot forward!", "Push your foot forward!", "Drive your knee!" Those are coaching cues you might hear for the classic technique, diagonal stride.
Do they help, or do more harm than good? Here we make the case against these cues, demonstrating with video evidence how they often negatively impact a skier's overall body position.
We also show what "Foot Drive" should look like and talk about when it's an appropriate skill to work on.
Strong forward body lean is one of the keys to advancing your cross-country ski technique. But how do you do it? You have to lean in, but keep your hips forward at the same time. Many skiers struggle to do both those things at the same time. "Hips forward" makes them stand upright and "lean in" makes them bend at the waist and stick their hips back.
Learn how to cross-country ski smoothly from one classic ski track to another. Change tracks like a pro and maintain your speed as you pass other skiers. It's easy to learn if you break the skill into 5 steps and learn them one at a time.

Crowne Health Care of Greenville COVID-free
Published 12:22 pm Wednesday, July 1, 2020
Crowne Health Care of Greenville has reached a significant milestone in its fight against COVID-19. After weeks of tireless efforts by staff, the facility now has no residents on site who test positive for the virus.
"This is the result of the hard work and dedication of our employees," spokeswoman Frances Coleman said. "Even during difficult days and unprecedented challenges, they never wavered in their commitment to provide excellent care. They did everything they could to get our residents through this crisis and on the road to recovery."
Despite the hard work of the staff, the Greenville nursing home was significantly impacted by COVID-19. Over time, a total of 88 residents and 37 employees tested positive for the virus. Four remain hospitalized. Twenty residents who were infected by the virus ultimately passed away, which represented a heartbreaking loss for the entire Crowne Health Care family.
"We continue to mourn every one of these deaths," Coleman said. "At the same time, we are thankful for those who have recovered and to the great team that brought us to this point, including our staff, our residents and our residents' families. It took all of us working together to reach this milestone."
Even as it marks this moment, Crowne Health Care recognizes that new cases of COVID-19 will remain a threat at all nursing homes as long as the virus continues to spread in the community.
"Just as we have done from the beginning, we will follow all guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and the Alabama Department of Public Health to keep our residents and employees safe," Coleman said. "While we must remain vigilant, we are happy to see Crowne Health Care of Greenville free of the virus at this time and so many of our residents on the road to recovery."

2ne1's Minzy Admits To Getting Korean Nose Job
17 12월2013
K-pop girl group 2ne1's Minzy admitted to getting a Korean nose job for medical reasons.
Minzy's admission came after reports that there have been ongoing speculations that she underwent Korean rhinoplasty. Fans pointed out that the 20-year-old singer looked noticeably different in her recent photos.Her new look was previously attributed to weight change, aging, hair and makeup, but netizens said her nose looks a lot thinner than it did in the past.
It turns out that the youngest member of the international idol group did get an operation to fix her rhinitis, and then decided to also undergo a Korean nose job to straighten her nose while she was in the hospital.
According to a YGGLADIES article titled, "[131126] EXCLUSIVE: Minzy, beauty tip? "nose surgery" straightforward acceptance", the singer said she has been frequently troubled by rhinitis, which made singing and dancing difficult and prompted doctors to advise her to undergo surgery.
"When I went to the hospital, they said my nose was slightly twisted. To perfectly fix it I had no choice but surgery," she said.
During the group's recent appearance in a live concert, many fans noticed that the youngest 2ne1 member appeared different, pointing out the change in her nose and jaw.
"I have never done a surgery before so I was worried at first. But my mom advised me to do plastic surgery if I am going to correct my nose anyways. So I thought about it for a long time," the idol star said.
Rhinoplasty refines the shape of the patient's nose by bringing it into balance with the face's other features. According to cosmetic surgeons, because the nose is a prominent facial feature, a slight alteration can bring out vast improvements on a patient's appearance.
Minzy said she was worried that the head of 2ne1's music label YG Entertainment, Yang Hyun Suk, would oppose her decision, but she was surprised to hear a different response.
"He had hostility towards plastic surgery so I was afraid the mention about it first. But I collected my courage and asked him. He said 'Gummy and Wheesung also suffered from rhinitis. If you have to do the operation do as your mother says.' I confessed that I am going to do my nose job as I treat my rhinitis," the singer said. An agency representative told media that the condition made it hard for Minzy to perform live.
Rhinitis is caused by an inflammation of the mucous membranes on the nose. Doctors said its most common symptoms include runny nose and stuffy nose.
Korean celebrities and plastic surgery are always creating buzz among netizens and fans. But you see, getting a nose surgery, a Korean eye surgery or any other cosmetic procedure done is not always for aesthetic purposes. Take Minzy for example. Her main goal is to treat a medical issue, but the result she got is a pleasant one, not just medically, but also visually.

3 Things You Should Know About Medical Tourism in Asia


Abstract: India is touted as a new entrepreneurship powerhouse and the next Asian miracle. There have been some successful and many unsuccessful attempts to promote entrepreneurship and small business development in India. There are also some well-founded rationales as well as a number of misinformed and ill guided viewpoints about the friendliness of environment to support entrepreneurship and small business growth in the country. This paper examines various indicators related to entrepreneurship in India and analyzes factors affecting India's entrepreneurial performance. Specifically, we provide a detailed assessment of the Indian environment for entrepreneurship in terms of various dimensions provided by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD framework. The dimensions include regulatory framework, market conditions, access to finance, R&D and technology related factors, physical infrastructures, entrepreneurial capabilities and entrepreneurial culture. We provide a detail treatment of various forms of financing from the standpoint of small business development such as bank loans, IPO market, venture capital, microfinance, remittances inflow, domestic savings and informal investments. We also compare India with its neighboring country, China and major global economies in terms of many of these dimensions. Also examined in the paper is the effect of the recent global financial crisis on India's performance in supporting entrepreneurship and small business development. Analyzed in the paper is also how the lack of trickledown effect and an emergence of oligarchic capitalism are affecting entrepreneurship and small business development.


Should be 'fake news,' but it's not. This is ACTUALLY HAPPENING!
These people, I tell ya!
Oh, isn't that just friggin' SWELL!?
It's a good day to be Donald Trump!
This media malady has maintained course for too long, and the American people are growing tired of it.
That should quiet them down for a bit!

New York Athletes Remember 9/11
September 12, 2011 12:00 am by Tamickqa Johnson
Sept. 11, 2001, is a day that marks the event of 2,749 death certificates, the death of 23 NYC Police Officers, the loss of 343 firefighters and the destruction of 1,337 vehicles, according to wtc911.us. "It was a tragic event that happened while innocent lives were lost and an event I wish would have never happened," Lawrence Kershaw, the offensive coordinator for Florida A&M's football team, said. Kershaw, a Brooklyn native, was fortunate not to have had any losses but still is touched from the event.
"I didn't lose anybody that I knew in that event, but it has sentimental value to me because it is my hometown," Kershaw said. "I felt a sense of hurt because it happened in our country." Kershaw said football provides a means of relief to those who are grieving.
"From a coaching standpoint, it brought the country more together on that day," Kershaw said. "The singing of the national anthem at the beginning of every game has more of a meaning, and the game provides an outlet for entertainment to get our minds off of that event."
The NYS Office of Mental Health estimates more than 33,000 people showed symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.
Brandon Hepburn, a 21-year-old biochemistry student from Brooklyn, said the effects of Sept. 11 still haunt him. "It was kind of surreal at the time, but I saw the aftermath of it," Hepburn said. "A lot of emotions came over me, like anger (and) depression. It was hard for me as a kid to see the way it affected my friends that lost loved ones." Hepburn, a redshirt junior, said Sept. 11 is a day that represents the best of Americans. "Although we have our differences, when push comes to shove, we all uphold the same flag," Hepburn said. "We have different ethnicities and people come from different creeds and cultures, but on that day we all came together to help our brothers and sisters in need."
At the time of the event, Hepburn was in middle school and active on a Pop Warner Football team, which had a firefighter as a head coach. "The man who coached us was a firefighter. He didn't get hurt, but it was scary to know that our head coach was there helping out at that time," Hepburn said.
Hepburn said he was one of the fortunate ones at the time of the event and overall, it brought the nation together. "We can understand how important our freedoms really are," Hepburn said. "It made us band together because we knew the importance of friendship and how love can be the greatest pain medicine."

Q: update entry IF values to set is different, else update only 1 column I have table:
job  | startDate           | EndDate             | Status
3221 | 2014-08-12 12:00:00 | 2014-08-12 15:00:00 | 1

I have two cases here:
this contains same startDate and EndDate values, which means I need no actual update on entry:
UPDATE jobs SET startDate='2014-08-12 12:00:00', EndDate='2014-08-12 15:00:00' WHERE job=3221

In this case, I have slighly different value EndDate (may be startDate as well or both)
So I have to update values which was actually changed (are not same), and update STATUS from 1 to 0 (since update values before was not the same) any ideas how to achieve that in one query?
UPDATE jobs SET startDate='2014-08-12 12:00:00', EndDate='2014-08-13 19:00:00' WHERE job=3221

A: Use case statment

The virtuoso: Krishnarao Pandit
Krishnarao Pandit is the doyen of the Gwalior gharana. An artiste who has enchanted audiences with his ingenious singing style in a concert career that spanned 70 years.
Mohan Nadkarni pays tribute to the stalwart of Hindustani music, who turned 93 on June 26.
Krishnaraoji was a maestro of whom it could be truly said that his music was eloquently reflective of his personality. Indeed, the singing showed to full advantage the many facets of his individual style. Basically it was a rare blend of ingenuity and craftsmanship – the result of long, arduous deliberation.
Gwalior. The very name conjures up a variety of images – of historical splendour, architectural magnificence, a great musical heritage and, of course, the vestiges of royalty, in whose heyday the art and culture of north India reached its high degree of efflorescence.
But to Krishnarao Shankar Pandit, who turned 93 on July 26, Gwalior has been his karmabhoomi. As it has been for his forbears for three generations. And something more, too. To Panditji, Gwalior remains India's musical capital. Simply mention the name and the maestro will hold you spellbound with an inspiring account of Gwalior's dedication to Hindustani music, of the efforts of its successive princes, as much as their subjects, to carry forward the classical tradition of north India.
He will tell you how music has been part of every home in Gwalior, quoting a popular saying that when a child from Gwalior cries, it cries in tune. He would declaim, in his profound, stentorian voice, that even in the changed context of today, an average Gwaliori can easily distinguish one raga from another, whatever his status.
Krishnarao Shankar Pandit happens to be one of the very few professional musicians whose life and career is marked by an extraordinary series of lucky breaks. His father, Shankarrao Pandit, whom he describes as the first professional musician in his orthodox Brahmin family, was a disciple of Haddu Khan and Natthu Khan, who were among the pioneers of the Gwalior gharana. Later, Shankarrao underwent rigorous grooming in khayal, tarana, tappa, thumri and ashtapadi and such other styles of classical singing for 12 years under the tutelage of Nissar Hussein Khan, son of Natthu Khan, who was also another leading light of the gharana.
Krishnaraoji had his initiation into music from his father at the age of six. At 11, he made his first public appearance on the concert platform in Bombay to lend sangat to his distinguished father and guru. He was only 20 when the erstwhile prince of Satara, in Maharashtra, commissioned him to teach him classical music. But he left this coveted assignment within a year to return to Gwalior.
In 1914, Krishnaraoji established a music school. In between came the sudden and premature death of his father. That was how Krishnaraoji named his new institution Shankar Sangeet Vidyalaya after his father. The Vidyalaya, in the course of 62 years of its existence, has come to be regarded as one of the pioneering music teaching institutions in the country.
Behind the setting up of a modern-style academic institution by one groomed in the age old guru-shishya-parampara is Panditji's awareness of the changing times. He also drew up a curriculum for teaching music to his students, engaged a team of teachers and authored a series of text-books dealing with vocal music and also instruments like the harmonium, the sitar, the jaltarang and the tabla.
But he did not neglect his role as a concert musician. In fact, his early rise to fame as one of the leading Hindustani vocalists of the country, the acclaim he enjoyed in the field for almost 70 years and, finally, the patronage he earned from the Gwalior darbar and several other ruling princes from different parts of the country, is a tribute to his exceptional qualities as a musician as much as his personal dynamism.
In the post-independence period, too, public appreciation for Panditji was abundant. He was on of the early recipients of the President's Award for Hindustani vocal music, way back in 1959. He was honoured with the Padma Bhushan in 1973. India's only chartered music university, the Indira Kala Sangeet Vishwa Vidyalaya at Khairagarh, in Madhya Pradesh, conferred upon him an honorary doctorate in 1962. A regular broadcaster since 1940, he has been Producer-Emeritus of AIR and Doordarshan.
In recent years, the government of the reorganized Madhya Pradesh has honoured its own stalwart with a number of state awards from time to time. Although Bharat Bhavan, the prestigious arts complex in Bhopal organized a three-day special musical event to felicitate him in November last year, the highest award for classical music, Kalidas Samman, instituted by the state government in 1982, has yet to come his way.
My early familiarity with Panditji music was through the radio, as is probably the case with most music lovers. As a teenage radio buff, I seldom missed his broadcasts or disc music from AIR Delhi. It was much later – in 1949 – that I had a chance to hear him at a regular concert sponsored by a music circle in Bombay.
Nearly six feet tall, lanky and dressed in his usual long coat, dhoti and embroidered cap, Krishnaraoji looked every inch an orthodox, aristocratic, Brahmin, with a stern, slightly forbidding visage that sported a well-groomed moustache. Erect as a walking-stick, he took his seat on the stage in an austere yogic posture and started off his recital without even the customary preliminary tonal flourishes. The effect was electrifying. The three-hour concert, at which Ram Narain and Alla Rakha lent instrumental support on the sarangi and the tabla respectively came to me as a treat.
Here, indeed, I felt, was a maestro of whom it could be truly said that his music was eloquently reflective of his personality. Indeed, the singing showed to full advantage the many facets of his individual style. Basically, it was a rare blend of ingenuity and craftsmanship – the result of long, arduous deliberation. He was endowed with a loud musical voice and his mode of articulation was massive. His taal and laya were incisive. Be it khayal, tappa, thumri, hori and ashtapadi, he could depict them with practised ease and originality.
The last time I heard the maestro was in December 1972, when he came down to Bombay from Gwalior, to attend the 6oth birthday celebrations of Sharadchandra Arolkar who is possibly his senior most disciple. Arolkar, incidentally, is not only a maestro in his own right, but also a musician's musician. But he is reclusive by temperament and has chosen to remain away from the concert platform. The appearance of the 79-year-old guru and his equally fast-ageing shisya on a common platform was truly symbolic of the guru-shishya parampara, of a hallowed but rapidly vanishing tradition. The spectacle was at once ennobling and moving.
What is more, Krishnaraoji, though well past his prime, offered to provide the finale to the nightlong programme. In the small hours, he reeled off vilambit, drut and tarana numbers in the raga lalit, followed by lilting jogia-mand composition and a thumri and tarana in bhairavi to round it off.
It was disconcertingly evident from this concert that old age had begun to take its toll on his performing abilities. Understandably, one sensed more physical vigour than musical expression in his effort. Even so, we had many glimpses of his undoubted musicianship, showing us how rigorous discipline could well score over age.
Besides Arolkar, Krishnaraoji has groomed a large number of disciples. They include his four sons, Narayan, Laxman, Chandrakant and Sadashiv and his grand-children. Among his other disciples are Vishnupant Choudhari, the Saptarshi brothers, Dattatraya Joglekar, Keshavrao Surange, Amritphale Sarolkar, to name a few. Ironically, almost all of them have branched out as erudite teachers and not as concert artistes. All that can be said about them is that they are carrying on the parampara according to their lights. Inevitably, the Gwalior gharana, acknowledged as the forerunner of all other Hindustani khayal gharanas is on the verge of total oblivion and Krishnarao Shankar Pandit is the oldest surviving representative of the old parampara.
Panditji's approach to traditional music was a matter of controversy when he was active on the concert stage. He had as many critics as he had votaries. As one who has been singularly lucky in having savoured the music of three generations of top exponents of different gharanas, the controversy to my mind, boils down to the question whether classical music is intellectual or emotional. In other words, it is the never-ending tussle between what is known as classicism and romanticism.
What I have said many times before bears repetition in this evaluation of Panditji's music. I firmly believe that music (as, indeed, any other art), specially classical music is of two types. It can be purely intellectual or classicist, or purely emotional or romantic. In rare cases, it can be an uncanny blend of both.
In saying this, I nostalgically recall the kind of great music I have heard in all its variety, depth and range over the last four decades and more. Most of the old maestros, who passed into oblivion long ago, were, in my opinion, exponents of intellectual music. By and large, there was more of cerebral skill and physical ability that inspired them to create marvels of sculptured sound. Every note, every phrase, every pattern, as also the rhythmic felicities which went to vivify their chosen theme, provided unimpeachable proof of their life-long dedication and discipline. Against this background, the music of Krishnaraoji, the long survivor of the old guard can be fairly summed up as intellectual in its content and approach. Therefore, its appeal has always been cerebral, but fulfilling.
Needless to say, this kind of music can no longer command popular appeal in the present era of innovation, experimentation and the avant garde. True enough, the conflict between classicism and romanticism has acquired a new and sharper edge in the wake of the emergence of luminaries like Kumar Gandharva and Kishori Amonkar. But this hardly justifies the kind of criticism against the old classicist approach advocated by Krishnaraoji and his departed contemporaries.
And the pity of it is that it comes from cognoscenti of the present generation, who could never have heard the old masters, and can only evaluate them on the basis of recordings which, in most cases, were done when the maestros were long past their prime.
"ALL OUR GREAT MASTERS HAVE GONE"
Mohan Nadkarni recalls conversations with the maestro.
The aggressive – looking Panditji is altogether a different man when encountered off-stage. During one of his visits of Bombay, I also had the privilege of playing host to him. Here are excerpts from a series of conversations I had had with Panditji during my meetings with him in Bombay, Delhi and Bhopal.
Q. Panditji, you have often said that the khayal gayaki of Gwalior is the forerunner of several other gharanas which came into prominence during the last 200 years or so. You have also emphasized that none of the later styles has the character of the Gwalior vocalism. Will you please elaborate?
A. Only my gharana can rightly claim to be ashtanga-pradhan in its character. The word means that the style has eightfold musical virtues. These are alap, bol-alap, bol-taan, varieties of taan and layakari, meend, gamak and murki. It is an intricate, complex style, although exponents of other gharanas call it simple, often rudimentary. It might sound simple because it naturally pleases the ear. But it also baffles the mind of een a top veteran, you see. Khayal is presented in two tiers, that is, in slow tempo followed by a faster one. But I find that most exponents of your gharana render their vilambit (slow) composition to medium tempo (Madhya laya). How come? Khayal, as you know well, is a song-form, a composition. If it is rendered in too slow a tempo, it is bound to lose its significance and meaning. The song-text would be deprived of its character.
Q. How then, can you hope to achieve that homogeneous fusion of shabda (words), dhun (tune) and theka (rhythm), which together constitute the hallmark of the gharana? How have you contributed to the enrichment of the gharana's vocalism?
A. I have tried to lend a greater degree of tayyari (virtuosity) to the traditional style. I have also made an effort to blend several new variations of bol-taan in the general scheme of improvisation. Panditji, you have enjoyed pre-eminence as an exponent of khayal music. But you have also specialized in tappa and thumri styles. These are very different singing genres and have almost gone out of vogue.
Q. Your tappa, specially, sounds different from the Varanasi variety.
A. Yes, the difference is certainly there. Our tappa is khayal-oriented, while the Varanasi type is thumri-oriented. Our repertoire, besides, includes varieties like chaturang, hori, trivet and ashtapadi – all of which form part of the rich treasure of my gharana.
Q. What are the attributes of a good musician? To be a good vocalist, he must first cultivate his voice.
A. He should also have the gift of talent and imagination, coupled with enormous listening power. Above all, he has to pursue his art in the true spirit of a seeker and never deflect from his daily practice.
Q. How do you view the contemporary music scene? Was the older generation of musicians better than the present one? If so, how?
A. We now live in a fast-moving world in which the degree of understanding and appreciation of classical music is getting less and less with each succeeding generation. Our old values are also undergoing a radical change in all walks of life. All our great masters have gone and no new generation of stalwarts has emerged to fill the vacuum. Exceptions are there like Bhimsen Joshi, Gangubai Hangal and others. But they are very few. Don't you reckon tremendously popular artistes like Kumar Gandharva, Kishori Amonkar and Jasraj? They are good, no doubt. But in the name of changing old concepts and values, they seem to be indulging in innovations and experiments. As a purist, I cannot but view these trends as gravely detrimental to the very survival of the classical tradition.

A Helpful Guide to Sea Turtles
Sea Turtle Season
Sea Turtle Nesting Season Rules – To comply with regulations that protect the turtles, beach driving and lighting rules are in effect May 1 to October 31. Vehicular traffic on the beach is only allowed from 8:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and all beachfront properties are required to reduce the impact of interior and exterior lighting which may impact nesting sea turtles. Sea Turtle Nesting Season, Volunteer Opportunities and Share the Beach.
If You See a Turtle in Distress
If you find a sick / injured / dead sea turtle do not put them back into the water as they may need medical attention. Please call:
Sheriff's Office: (904) 824-8304
SJC Habitat Conservation: (904) 209-3740
FL Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission's 24-hour Wildlife Alert Number: 1-888-404-FWCC (1-888-404-3922)
Check out our Share the Beach brochure (26MB), St. Johns County's guide to sharing and protecting the beaches.
Sea Turtle Nesting
The beaches of northeast Florida are considered as an important nesting area for the loggerhead (Caretta caretta), green (Chelonia mydas) and leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) sea turtles. Sea turtles emerge from the Atlantic Ocean to nest on our beaches each summer (May 1 to October 31). Females crawl from the water late at night to lay their eggs. They deposit, on average, 100 ping pong ball sized eggs in each nest. They usually lay 2 to 3 nests per season on a 2-3 year cycle. The eggs incubate in the sand for about 2 months. As the conditions have cooled inside the egg chamber the hatchlings emerge out of the nest as a group. As the young turtles exit the nest they instinctually seek the horizon by looking for natural light reflecting off the water.
Upon reaching the water, hatchlings begin their journey spending their first days of their lives swimming offshore. Once there, the tiny sea turtles crawl into mats of drifting algae called sargassum. They spend the first few years of their lives passively drifting on their oceanic rafts feeding on almost anything they can catch in the sargassum. After a few years, the juvenile sea turtles leave their protective nursery and move to inshore feeding grounds where they spend the rest of their pre-adult lives. Ultimately, at the age of 12 - 30, adult, female, sea turtles return to their natal beach to lay nests of their own. Estimates predict that about one in a thousand hatchlings survive to adulthood.
Every morning between May 1 and October 31 sea turtle volunteers patrol the beaches looking for signs of sea turtle nesting. Each sea turtle emergence is examined and documented as a nest or false crawl (a non-nesting emergence). Each nest is marked with stakes, flagging, and, if necessary, covered with a metal screen to protect it from predators. After a nest has been marked, it is carefully monitored for signs of tidal inundation, predation, and finally hatching. After the hatchlings emerge from the nest volunteers return to evaluate and document how many hatchlings emerged. The eggs are counted and a hatching success (the number of hatched egg shells in relation to the total number of eggs) is calculated for each nest.
When a sea turtle is found on the beach, or in the water, dead, sick or injured, it is considered a stranded animal. Whether the sea turtle is a hatchling, juvenile or adult and still alive it is in need of medical attention. Report strandings to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at 1-888-404-FWCC (1-888-404-3922). Please be prepared to answer the following questions:
What is the exact location of the animal (i.e. name of beach or access point)?
Is the turtle alive or dead?
What is the approximate size of the animal?
Is the turtle marked with spray paint?
The answers will give us the information we need to respond quickly with the correct equipment to handle the animal. An animal with spray paint indicates the turtle has already been documented.
If you find a sea turtle floating in the water get a GPS reading, take pictures, and call the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at 1-888-404-FWCC (1-888-404-3922).

One of the many joys of having two young children is to watch them, play and explore together. Our eldest takes our youngest under her wing and delights in imparting many random pearls of her wisdom. And our youngest eagerly and easily imitates her elder sister.
An effective learning, or knowledge transfer, model? Well, yes – to a point.
I've been thinking about this a lot recently – and about the current popularity of the 70/20/10 model too.
Many businesses are looking to achieve more with less. I understand this and share the desire to improve performance as efficiently as possible. Yet sometimes I think a little more structure is a good thing to ensure quick, successful transfer of critical knowledge (and the associated application skills) and avoid a dip in performance during learning.
We all learn, children and adults alike, by both imitation through on the job practice and by structured learning away from the workplace. I feel that sometimes the 70/20/10 model is deployed more to try and minimise costs than to maximise the passing of knowledge, skills. attitudes, behaviours and culture to an organisation's next generation.
For most, if not all, organisations a key challenge is to facilitate effective, quick and non-disruptive growth and learning experiences.
So, it strikes me that though we all imitate, that quite so much focus on on-the-job learning may be a misjudgement.
design by learning professionals can allow precise, differentiated and learner centred experiences.
So, for my daughters I will strive to ensure they enjoy plenty of exploratory play, imitation and learning experiences but also plenty of more structured learning opportunities – both with bags of fun!
1. What do you want for your people?
2. How could your organisation benefit from engaging learning professionals to facilitate the knowledge transfer you want?
I really recognize the details you confirmed there. Maintain undertaking what youa??re performing. Sources like the a single you talked about here is really beneficial….
