This policy paper is released in the context of the European Commission's public consultation on the application and impact of the Directive 96/9/EU on the legal protection of databases (Database Directive). The Directive aimed to harmonise the treatment of databases under copyright law and introduced the sui generis right for non-original databases.
The Database Directive came into force on 27 March 1996. The objective of the Directive was twofold. On the one hand it attempted to remove existing differences in the legal protection of databases by harmonising the rules that applied to copyright protection. And on the other hand it aimed to safeguard interests of businesses and users alike, namely the investment of database makers, and ensure that the legitimate interests of users of information contained in databases were secured.
We have taken note of the 2005 First evaluation of Directive 96/9/EC on the legal protection of databases (hereafter "evaluation report"), and we welcome the ongoing ex-post evaluation of the Commission, of which the public consultation is part, to determine whether the Directive fulfils its policy goals and is fit-for-purpose in a digital, data-driven economy. In light of the ongoing ex-post evaluation of the Commission, we have analysed whether the Directive has achieved its aims and set forth a series of recommendations.
Before the Directive was implemented the criteria for receiving copyright protection for databases differed within the European Union. The biggest difference was that in common law countries no substantial creativity or originality was required to receive copyright in a database. Mere 'sweat of the brow' was enough to trigger a copyright protection in the database. In most of the other EU countries with a droit d'auteur tradition, there was some level of originality required to be granted copyright protection.
The Directive has harmonised copyright concerning databases in the EU. The level of originality required for the application of copyright to databases has been raised in the common law countries in order to qualify for copyright protection. According to the evaluation report (p.17), it is unclear whether Chapter II (Copyright) of the Database Directive has played a substantial role in the enabling investments of database producers.
In addition to harmonising copyright protection for databases in the EU, the 1996 Directive introduced a new sui generis right that protects databases, including "non-original" databases that do not qualify for copyright protection. The sui generis right protects extraction and reutilisation of the whole or a substantial part of the contents of a database. The right applies when there has been a qualitatively or quantitatively substantial investment in obtaining, verifying, or presenting the contents of a database.
There are no clear indications that the sui generis right helped to create a stronger EU database market. This fact is widely discussed in the evaluation report, noting that, "its economic impact on database production is unproven […] the new instrument has had no proven impact on the production of databases" (p. 24).
It is clear that the Database Directive has not produced legal clarity for both database producers and users. The directive has resulted in an unnecessary obstruction for the access to and reuse of information in a number of areas. It does not exclude public databases that fall under Directive 2013/37/EU on the re-use of public sector information (PSI Directive) from qualifying for the sui generis protection.
The Database Directive failed to give databases producers that wish to make their databases available on an open access basis the choice to opt out of the sui generis protection or a way to communicate conditions for reuse. This has led to some recent projects (such as Wikidata and Europeana) to simply sidestep the right altogether by releasing their data into the public domain using the CC0 Public Domain Dedication, thus neutralising copyright and sui generis rights to ensure that their data is freely (re)usable. It should be noted that the most recent iteration of the Creative Commons suite (version 4.0 released in 2013) licenses sui generis database rights alongside copyright, but the extent of the use of the 4.0 licenses as a tool primarily to address the sui generis right is unclear.
The sui generis right has also led to an enclosure of the commons because it creates new rights for works that either do not qualify for copyright, for which copyright has expired, or which are otherwise in the public domain. As we have noted in our policy paper on the review of the EU copyright rules, this practice is highly problematic because it forms an unnecessary barrier to access and reuse of information in the public domain. This is worsened by the fact that the term of protection – which lasts for 15 years – can be renewed after any substantial investments to the contents of the database (Database Directive, Art. 10). This enables the possibility that a database could be protected in perpetuity. This mechanism can prevent databases from ever entering the public domain. The possibility of continuously renewing a right is a fundamental threat for the commons of information.
This produces a chilling effect. Users simply do not attempt to utilise databases out of confusion, or the fear that they may be infringing on a right that is difficult to understand. By introducing the sui generis right separate from copyright protection, it also further complicated the current framework by enabling even more parties to hold rights in a database. For example, there might be copyright on the underlying data, and there could be a separate rightsholder under the sui generis right for the person/entity that aggregated the data. The evaluation report admits that the nature of the dual rights regime of the Directive has "caused confusion among users as the same database can be protected by both copyright and 'sui generis' right" (p. 23).
The limitations and exceptions that apply to the Database Directive are not harmonised with those laid out in Directive 2001/29/EC on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society (InfoSoc Directive). The limitations and exceptions applicable to both copyright in databases and the sui generis right are of a different scope (more limiting) than those in the InfoSoc Directive. More generally, the exceptions are optional – not mandatory – so member states can choose to ignore their implementation. The exceptions lack clarity and deviate from standard practices. For instance, article 9 of the Database Directive does not specify that for the private purposes or purposes of illustration for teaching or scientific research (re)use is allowed in addition to extraction. This has produced a complex patchwork of exceptions across Europe.
The exceptions to the sui generis right also put some users at an unfair disadvantage. For example, the exception for the purposes of illustration for teaching or scientific research is limited to the extraction of data for non-commercial purposes. The limitation to only extraction could prevent researchers from utilising the data in ways necessary for their research, such as text and data mining. The limitation for only non-commercial purposes ignores the fact that research and innovation takes place beyond the walls of the traditional not-for-profit research university, and oftentimes includes projects that involve the private sector too.
We have also noted above that there is a fundamental contradiction between the provisions of the PSI Directive – in which the sui generis right would still be applicable to databases that should be made available as public sector information. There is no limitation or exception to the sui generis right that would rectify this situation.
While the Database Directive may have partially harmonised the legal protection of databases with regard to copyright, the sui generis right has produced negative effects for database producers and users. We have previously called for the elimination of the sui generis right because it imposes additional restrictions to the use of data without demonstrating any additional benefit. The sui generis right has not ensured the legitimate interests of users to access information compiled in databases because it has produced a confusing legal environment in which users do not know if (or how) their uses are subject to the sui generis right. It has created a situation where open source projects prefer to sidestep the right by leveraging legal tools such as the CC0 Public Domain Dedication for the publishing and sharing of databases, because the sui generis right is at best cumbersome, and at worst directly opposed to the principles of sharing information without additional strings attached. Finally, there is no evidence that the sui generis right has improved EU competitiveness by increasing the production of databases.
The Commission should repeal the sui generis database right and harmonize the limitations and exceptions for the copyright section of the Database Directive with the Infosoc Directive. If it is not possible to fully revoke the sui generis right, the Commission should amend the Database Directive to introduce a system whereby producers of databases must register to receive protection under the sui generis right. It should also expand the sui generis exceptions and make them mandatory. Finally, it should set a maximum term so that there cannot be perpetual extensions.

Karen Essex's Kleopatra served as the centerpiece text for my freshman writing course, "Women of Power." I wanted to provide a forum for discussion about the lives of women within the context of history, politics, religion, society, education, the arts, culture, and self-realization, but not in comparison to men. We, as a class, defined power or empowerment as the qualities of intelligence, ingenuity, courage, determination, intuition, righteousness, and intention.
Kleopatra, the woman, as she is portrayed in Essex's novel exemplifies these qualities within this context, making this the essential text for the course. Unlike the Hollywood version of this story, in which "womanly seduction" is the underpinning of Kleopatra's acquired power, students, instead, discovered a woman whose great intellect, personal integrity, and loyalty to her country, determined her power.
Kleopatra became the primary source for researching information about the queen and her time in history. Student presentations included topics such as food and travel of the time period, clothing, hygiene, body adornment, politics, education, hieroglyphics, mythology, and religion.
While providing a wealth of historical information about a particular woman under challenging circumstances during a grand time in history, I believe Essex's Kleopatra provides a model of empowerment as it applies to all women, in any situation, during every time.

An essay – smoking is all about the ill effects that smoking has on us all including teenagers. It is the most common method of consuming tobacco, which is addictive. Continued efforts are being made worldwide to educate people of the ill effects of smoking, but we still find millions of people doing it. Does it mean that smoking is really not as harmful as they say it is? On the contrary, smoking can cause serious damage to the mind and body. The World Health Organization has conducted studies indicating that 20% of pregnant women in developed countries smoke. Only a small percentage of these women refrain from smoking during pregnancy. This has had serious repercussions. Not only is the mother affected but babies are serious affected too. For example, nearly 11% of all stillborn births can be directly attributed to the use of tobacco during pregnancy.
The reason why people get addicted is that they find no physical reasons not to start smoking. The body has its own way of resisting danger. An essay – smoking can indicate that many who start smoking for the first time experience a bitter taste in the mouth, coughing, or slight irritation in the throat. Peer pressure in most cases helps overcome these minor irritations. Teenagers find it important to be with people they like. This puts pressure on them to smoke if others in the group indulge in it. The human body does not need tobacco or the effects it brings in.
People don't have to consider it the same as eating food or drinking water. The result of smoking is plain and simple. It's slow poisoning. Research papers have indicated that over a period of time, people develop health problems like cancer of the lungs, stomach, throat, and bladder. Other diseases connected to smoking include heart attacks and stroke. The body shows signs of deteriorating when increased infections like bronchitis and pneumonia occur more often. An essay – smoking should be able to warn people of these serious implications.
Essay – Smoking 9 of 10 on the basis of 4128 Review.

Next up, it is Bristol-based Culprate with the brand new "Mask EP" on a label called Open Outlets.
Lots of 4/4 beat patterns, still a nice and interesting EP.
"Inertia" is a bass heavy track with a dense mood and a dark soul, "Switch", though the MC track on the EP, is the weakest track in my ear, but still playable, at least ammunition for the EDM orientated bass friends. The title track called "Mask" is my second favorite tune on the collection, I like the pads and arps in the passages more laid back.
My favorite is "Be You", a track that has a good portion of funk included. Supernice acoustic basslines and chords alongside chopped up vocals make this a great piece of a track!
Quite versatile and absolutely worth checking if you like the tempo!

Hard on the heels of an Institute of Directors report describing claims that the UK has a "long hours culture" and was full of "overworked workaholics" as "urban myths", new research has found that more than half of senior managers in the UK feel that stress is having a serious effect on the productivity levels of their organisations.
Research by Croner, a leading supplier of business information, questioned 100 organisations representing a cross-section of British businesses. It reveals that two thirds of employers believe that the stress is having an adverse affect on their workforce, with over half saying that it was affecting productivity. No one sector was disproportionately affected.
Richard Smith, training manager at Croner, said that stress is often seen as part of modern culture or employee weakness.
"In fact, employers have a legal obligation to ensure employees are not made ill by their work.
"But stress is still costing business, causing high staff turnover, a demotivated workforce, increased sickness and absence, poor performance and an increase in customer complaints," he said.
Further evidence of the UK's long hours culture comes in figures complied by employment law firm Peninsula. These reveal that company bosses are commonly working 50-hour weeks, with those in London putting in 54-hour weeks on average, an increase of ten hours on the same figure in 1993.
While the IoD last week characterised those calling for better work-life balance as "subliminally anti-business" and "hell-bent on demonising the workplace", the toll that stress and long hours takes on individuals is highlighted by a separate survey from the Natwest bank - hardly the most anti-business of organisations.
The Natwest research has also found that eight out of ten women and six out of ten men said that their nights are often punctuated by dreams about work.
Disturbingly, more than six out of ten women and four out of ten men said that they actually woke up in a cold sweat dreaming about work problems.
The Natwest results also echo the findings of a recent report by the Work Foundation that found that working women face particular problems because they often have to juggle a disproportionate burden of household chores as well as their careers.
Londoners are the least likely to take their work troubles home with them because they have more distractions on their doorstep to provide a buffer between work and their home lives. Those living in the West Country and Wales find their home lives most disrupted by employment woes.
Stress related illness is estimated to cost the UK economy as much as £4 billion a year in absence alone.

After spending one year in Ligue 1, Neymar is now believed to be exhausted and wants to return to Spain, where he will join Real Madrid.
Former Marca editor Eduardo Inda claimed on Monday's edition of TV gossip show "El Chiringuito de Jugones" that a deal with Madrid was "almost finalised" and would go through ahead of this summer's World Cup for a fee of €260m-€300m.
Cristiano scored the first goal for Real Madrid and at the same time he got a knee injury but he never stopped playing. "Without Ronaldo it would be impossible, but with him nothing is impossible", the Portuguese told ESPN Brasil.
According to Mourinho, both Portugal and Argentina would be out of contention to win football's showpiece tournament in Russian Federation if not for the two forwards. Without Cristiano (Ronaldo), it would be impossible.
"I have 25 players - some need to rest but we're not thinking about them getting injured". Speaking about the 2014 World Cup runners-up, Mourinho said, "I think that without Lionel (Messi), the Argentinian national team wouldn't be in contention".
Sevilla defeated Real Madrid 3-2 in their La Liga match on Wednesday as Zinedine Zidane's men stumbled in Sanchez Pizjuan. The visitors were without the injured Cristiano Ronaldo and went behind to Wissam Ben Yedder's opener after 26 minutes.
Borja Mayoral pulled one back, before Ramos converted his second penalty of the match in stoppage time, but they left their fightback too late and Zidane was forced to defend his line-up.
"I don't know if Salah will be able to win the Ballon d'Or, but he has had a great season", he said. "There's a mixture of natural Brazilian talent with a serious, physical, tactical approach". And then up front with Willian, Neymar, Philippe Coutinho and Gabriel Jesus ... All players with outstanding qualities.
"When you lose, you can not be happy, but it will not affect what we do until the end of the season". It would be flawless to have him back for the Villarreal game (on May 19).
"I would say that Spain is in better condition than any other European rivals".
Saudi Arabia now pumps around 10 million bpd, but has capacity of around 12 million bpd - a surplus of two million bpd. Members of Iranian parliament struck a similar tone, burning a US flag and chanting "death to America".
The new visual experience is making its way to Google Assistant on Android first this summer, followed by iOS later in the year. Artificial intelligence expert Hussein Abbass of the UNSW Canberra raised issues about privacy and data collection.
The U.S.is seeking "complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization" as part of any deal. Warmbier died in June 2017, days after he arrived back in the USA with severe brain damage.
However, the Bank described that as a "temporary soft patch" with "few implications" for the outlook for the economy. Competition among challenger banks, in combination with higher SWAP rates, appears to be fuelling this rise.
Of the 1,97,633 girls appeared for the HSE exam, 178492 (90.31 percent) became eligible for higher studies. The Kerala Plus Two results are being declared five days earlier than it was declared past year .
As a member of the collegium, Justice Chelameswar was a signatory to its recommendation to appoint Uttarakhand Chief Justice K.M. It also said he was from Kerala, which is already represented, and that that there were no judges from Dalit backgrounds.
That includes whole heads and hearts of romaine lettuce, chopped romaine, and salads or salad mixes that contain romaine. The CDC also reported 28 additional cases of illness, bringing the total to 149 since the outbreak began in March.
If in the end crude oil remains at $68-$70/bbl, prices will not be that much more expensive this summer than they are now. DeHaan said if this did cause prices to go up, "it could be" long term depending on the long term response to Iran.
He was asleep on the couch in his home when a fissure opened up 2,000 feet (610 meters) away, spewing out lava and gas . On Wednesday, a 15th vent formed - this one in the Lanipuna subdivision, the Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency says.

(the tutorial will be updated to reflect this).
and there delete the old feed, and add the new one.
I use safari, and I don't know if the plugin wasn't updated or what, but I'm getting nothing. Sorry to complain.
You use the plugin or the manual method?
Okay I edited the manual method as soon as I could.
I'll edit it later again, but right now it should work (there's an extra step because the file is simply the whole plugin code, which requires a feed).
http://cheeseitt.googlecode.com/files/naver-reader-v1.2.1.user.js (copy paste the content).
And make it work for http://comic.naver.com/ (so it works when you are browsing it).
I use Google Chrome and I've been getting "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL" and "Uncaught ReferenceError: one is not defined". I wasn't able to find and update the feed, so it may be because of that, though... Sorry for the trouble!
http://lmsodd.x10.mx/oddsquad/oss/index.php could not be reached!"
The uncaught syntax error are from this very website, not the script nor naver.com (I just opened my own error console, and I found those errors, so I wondered "wtf?", and saw that the errors URLS are from oddsquad.org).
For the manual code user, redo the exact same thing as you did (so you see this error). Look up at the top-right of the screen, and find the MENU. Open it, select 'Feeds', and delete lmsodd.x10.mx(...). It's the host that has been suspended.
Add the new one instead.
Well, I got the code to work really nice, and the chapter is awesome as usual. Thanks a lot for the hard work!!
"script" is at the beginning and end of this first error, but the comment wouldn't allow me to paste it here.
1. Resource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME type text/html: "http://x10hosting.com/suspended".
lmsodd.x10.mx is the server that has been suspended.
You are trying to run a script from a dead server. It doesn't work.
The code has changed, look at the manual code tutorial.
can anyone help me please? i'm sort of dumb with theese things so i just can't understand how the hell i activate this code (?).
i use google chrome, and before, to read CITT, i downloaded to my ' extensions ' your universal code to read it in english. but as far as i know there was some problem with that one, and now the ' naver reader ' doesn't work any longer. how can i make it work? heeeeeeelp ._.
Hi, I tried reading chapter 12 but couldn't since the translation is not aligned with the comic. I input the feed (the new one) a couple of times and even used tried the manual method but it didn't work.
Follow the instructions on the naver addon page (check the menu at the left).
For the "translation not aligned with the comic", I have no idea for the moment. Someone using an iPad reported this kind of problem not long ago. Do you use an ipad?

This recipe experiment started, as many do, with my seeing a photo on Pinterest. Ooooo, I thought. Must "pin" this and try it, later. In all honesty, that rarely happens. I just noticed I have like 50 pins on my "recipes" board and, well, the majority have not been attempted. Maybe when I retire.
Summer Vegetable Tian, though, was an exception to my laziness and sloth. I had to try that sucker. This blogger, Beth, is a cooking genius and you should subscribe to her blog. Right after you subscribe to mine.
Anyhoo, I made it, and it's great. I sent the link to Miss Scarlett, who also made it. You'll notice she has superior knife skills (photo below). I have also pictured my Summer Vegetable Tian, which is a little embarrassing because it "showcases" my knife skills. Um. And my photography skills and lack thereof. However, I am the clear winner in the "Most Generous Use of Cheese" category. So there.
Cruel Ironing's very messy Summer Vegetable Tian. Heavy on the cheese.

Q: Key-dependent maps preserving association Suppose I have some association a0 = <| key1 -> val1, ... |> and some function f[key, val].  I'd like to produce the association a1 = <| key1 -> f[key1, val1], key2 -> f[key2, val2], ... |>.
I can see several methods to do this, each of which feels very kludgy in certain ways.  In increasing order of how much they make me feel uneasy, here they are:

Way 1: Forcing the keys in with AssociationMap, then just mapping.
RuleWithKey[Rule[key_,val_]] := Rule[key, {key, val}];
a1 = Map[f @@ #, AssociationMap[RuleWithKey, a0]].

(Related question: why does
a1 = Map[f@@#, AssociationMap[Function[ Rule[key,val], Rule[key,{key,val}] ],a0]]; not work?  I get an error "Function: Parameter specification key->val in Function[key->val,key->{key,val}] should be a symbol or a list of symbols." but I can define RuleWithKey just fine.  Presumably this is something to do with Rule getting evaluated in one context but not in the other?)

Way 2: Deconstructing with Keys and KeyValueMap, then reconstructing with AssociationThread.
a1 = AssociationThread[Keys[a0], KeyValueMap[f, a0]];

Way 3: Creating a key-association with Identity, then using Merge.
a1 = Merge[ AssociationMap[Identity, Keys[a0]], a0, f@@# ];

(We can assume that we know that key /= val always holds; there are even-more-kludgy ways to get around this, of course.  Despite this assumption, this implementation particularly scares me, which is never a good thing to say about a piece of code.)

Way 4: Using Lookup operations in an AssociationMap.
a1 = AssociationMap[ f[#, a0[#]]&, a0 ];

Can you come up with a better method (by the admittedly difficult-to-interpret standard of "feeling not kludgy to me")?
I'm primarily interested in performant code (say associations with $\approx 10^6$ keys), so deconstructing and rebuilding associations isn't something that I'm super-thrilled about.  I also don't understand what operations on associations are efficient or inefficient, so comments or answers that discuss why some of these implementations are fast or slow (relatively speaking) would also be helpful.

A: This is not a complete answer as I have nothing to offer on the question of performance, but another way to obtain the result is to use MapIndexed:
a0 = <| "key1" -> "val1", "key2" -> "val2", "key3" -> "val3" |>;

MapIndexed[f[#2[[1, 1]], #] &, a0]

(* <| key1 -> f[key1,val1], key2 -> f[key2,val2], key3 -> f[key3,val3] |> *)

Anti-Xi Jinping Posters Are Spreading in China via AirDrop
"This is the first time I saw or received a medium of any kind that is critical of the current regime."
by Rachel Cheung
October 19, 2022, 12:27pm
POSTERS BASHING CHINA'S LEADER XI JINPING HAVE CROPPED UP AROUND THE WORLD. PHOTO: CITIZENSDAILYCN VIA INSTAGRAM
A Shanghai resident was riding the metro on Tuesday when an AirDrop notification popped up on his iPhone: "'Xi Jinping's iPhone' would like to share a photo."
Curious, the man accepted the request and received an image denouncing Chinese leader Xi Jinping's authoritarian rule. "Oppose dictatorship, oppose totalitarianism, oppose autocracy," some of the characters on the poster read.
The slogans echoed what a man had written on two banners and hung on a highway overpass in Beijing last week in a daring act of defiance of Xi's tight grip on the country. The unusual display of dissent came at a sensitive time, as the Chinese president is expected to secure an unprecedented third term as the chief of the ruling Chinese Communist Party at a key political meeting held in the Chinese capital this week.
'Beijing' Censored in China After Rare Protest Against President Xi Jinping
Rachel Cheung
"This is the first time I saw or received a medium of any kind that is critical of the current regime," he told VICE World News, speaking anonymously to avoid retaliation from Chinese authorities. "Word of mouth, even from the locals, is common, but never something of this nature."
Demonstrations against the government are prohibited in China, and those against Xi are particularly sensitive as the leader has built a cult of personality around himself, and authorities have punished those who criticized him. Social media companies closely monitor and censor even private messages of dissent against the party and Xi.
Usable only in close range and only among Apple devices, AirDrop is one of few relatively untraceable methods for sharing files in China. And some Chinese residents are using the feature to secretly spread protest messages based on the banners of the Beijing demonstrator, whom some refer to as the "bridge man."
Chinese authorities have gone to extreme lengths to suppress discussion of the lone protest, including censoring terms such as broad as "bridge" and "courage," and shutting down social media accounts that shared information about the incident, even in private. But the man, identified online as a 48-year-old named Peng Lifa, has been hailed by Chinese dissidents abroad as a hero, while his actions inspired a covert wave of protest.
Besides spreading messages in public using AirDrop, some residents have scribbled slogans calling for an end to Xi's rule on bathroom walls and notice boards on Chinese campuses, and shared tips on how to bypass censorship through WeTransfer. These scattered pockets of resistance may not be large in scale, but are significant given the Chinese government's efforts to silence all expressions of dissent and the risks people take to make their opinions heard.
'He's God': China's Top Leadership Is Set for a Reshuffle. But Xi Jinping Is Here to Stay.
Equally notable is the fact that these acts of defiance are not just contained in China. CitizensdailyCN, an instagram account run by a group of anonymous Chinese nationals, have been keeping tabs on sightings of anti-Xi posters. According to the group, they have cropped up in around 250 universities around the world, including in Australia, Japan, Canada, UK, and the U.S.
"You're at your stop, time to get off," read one poster featuring an image of Xi that has been spotted at Harvard University as well as Arizona State University.
Bin Xu, an associate professor of sociology at the Emory University in Atlanta, took note of the trend and spotted some placards on his campus as well. "This is a positive indication that this group of young Chinese, who come from relatively wealthier families in China and are often believed to be either politically apathetic or nationalistic, are concerned about their home country's future and want to be part of the force of change," he told VICE World News.
"The fear is real, even for people who are living overseas," an administrator of CitizensdailyCN told VICE World News, speaking anonymously to protect their identity.
"The risk for a Chinese to voice out is jail time or not being able to see their parents for the rest of their life. All of these make it extraordinarily crucial for us to figure out ways to get connected," they said, noting that for many Chinese students who participated, it is the first time they are taking political action in the public sphere.
"Even when studying abroad, most Chinese students are subjected to surveillance imposed by both China's censorship machine and supporters of the Chinese Communist Party everywhere. Putting up banners makes this group of pro-democracy students visible not only to the public, but also to each other. It gives them the courage to be seen, which in my opinion is the first step towards building a community," they added.
