Bankruptcy Courts Fail to Enlighten on Electricity as Goods or Services
By McDermott Will & Emery on Oct 23, 2014
Posted In Power Markets
Is electricity goods or services? That seemingly simple yet confounding question is illustrated by three recent bankruptcy cases (all of which consider whether an electricity provider is entitled to an administrative expense priority under Bankruptcy Code Section 503(b)(9) for "the value of goods received by the debtor" in the ordinary course within 20 days prior to the automatic stay):
In Hudson Energy Services, LLC v. Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co, Inc., 2013 WL 5212141 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 16, 2013) (A&P), the court held that because electricity is consumed only after it is measured (at the customer's meter), electricity is a "thing that is movable at the time of identification" (UCC 2-105) and accordingly should be characterized as goods under the UCC, which is the reference standard for Section 503(b)(9).
The bankruptcy court in In re NE OPCO, Inc., 501 B.R. 233 (Bankr. D. Del. 2013), agreed with A&P that the meaning of goods under Section 503(b)(9) "is primarily informed by the meaning of goods under the UCC," but disagreed with A&P that electricity is goods, holding that because "the period between identification and consumption must be meaningful," the "infinitesimal delay" between those acts in the case of electricity makes it unidentifiable and thus not goods.
In contrast to A&P and OPCO, the lower bankruptcy court in Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority v. Rentas, B.A.P. 1st Cir. No. PR 13-050 (Sept. 23, 2014) (PREPA), rejected the UCC definition as controlling § 503(b)(9) and relied instead on the public utility's monopoly status as the basis for denying the administrative expense priority. The First Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel rejected that reasoning and remanded with instructions to determine whether furnishing electricity is goods, but declined to instruct the lower court to use the UCC definition (with the exception of PREPA, nearly all bankruptcy courts have agreed that the UCC controls the §503(b)(9) definition of "goods").
This lack of agreement on a seemingly elementary question is not confined to bankruptcy — it existed before Section 503(b)(9) was enacted (2005) and continues. Courts peering into the sub-atomic qualities of electricity have reached opposite conclusions whether electricity is goods or services. Other courts have gone the opposite direction, eschewing quantum physics and comparing the "common understanding of electricity" (which is to say the common misconception that an electricity customer is buying a "stream of electrons") to severed oil, gas and other things that are UCC goods in hopes of finding the UCC equivalent of a "unified field theory" (as in physics, that search continues). Still other courts have concluded that electricity in "its raw state" is a service, but when it passes the end user's meter it becomes goods.
This leaves lawyers with the quandary of identifying (a) which state's laws do or should apply to the power purchase transaction (keeping in mind that not always will the forum court enforce a contractual choice of law if that foreign state's substantive law fails to bear a reasonable relationship to the transaction) and (b) whether that [...]

Did J.K. Rowling give two or more unrelated characters the same first name in any of the 10 books?
When I say "the 10 books", I mean the seven Harry Potter novels, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Quidditch Through the Ages, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard. However, I will also gladly accept verifiable information from Pottermore or further supplemental canon information from J.K. Rowling, such as information from interviews, articles, or material posted at J.K. Rowling.com or the Harry Potter Lexicon.
Anyhow, the Harry Potter books are full of characters with interesting and unique names. I notice J.K. Rowling seems to like alliteration. For example: Luna Lovegood, Severus Snape, Pansy Parkinson, Padma and Parvati Patil, Daedelus Diggle, Quirinus Quirrell, Bellatrix Black, Peter Pettigrew, Mary MacDonald, Minerva McGonagall, and so forth. She has gone on the record, admitting her love for names, and for taking great care when assigning a name to a given character.
I know there are unrelated Harry Potter characters with the same last name: "Evans" comes to mind.
Q: Are there any instances of J.K. Rowling using the same first name for two or more separate characters?
For example, is there a Zacharias Smith and Zacharias Zabini?
I'm not looking for, say, "Albus Severus Potter" or the like. The names in the epilogue are obvious.

I can't hope to beat @Richard's frankly excellent answer. But I can highlight one pair* that I'm shocked he missed…

At The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, there's a signup sheet for Quidditch which includes Richard Sky.
*I'm scraping the barrel of canonicity here, and you could argue that these names probably weren't chosen by JK Rowling herself, but once I spotted this I thought it couldn't go unmentioned.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--McAfee today released the results of its Mobile Security: McAfee Consumer Trends Report, documenting sophisticated and complex risky apps containing multi-faceted scams, black market crimes, drive-by downloads and near-field communication threats. The report identifies a new wave of techniques hackers use to steal digital identities, commit financial fraud, and invade users' privacy on mobile devices.
Mobile platforms have become increasingly attractive to cybercriminals as consumers live more of their digital lives on smartphones and tablets. According to IDC, mobile devices are surpassing PCs as the preferred way to access the Internet and the number of people using PCs to go online will shrink by 15 million over the next four years, while the number of mobile users will increase by 91 million.1 With the mobile space becoming a more enticing platform for online mischief, the complexity and volume of threats targeting consumers will continue to increase. Using its extensive global threat intelligence network (GTI), McAfee Labs analyzed mobile security data from the last three quarters.
Risky Apps: Cybercriminals are going to great lengths to insert infected apps into trusted sources such as Google Play and the risks within each app are becoming more intricate. As a matter of fact, McAfee Labs found that 75 percent of the malware-infected apps downloaded by McAfee Mobile Security users, who are apt to be more security conscious than the average consumer, were housed in the Google Play store, and that the average consumer has a one in six chance of downloading a risky app. Nearly 25 percent of the risky apps that contain malware also contain suspicious URLs, and 40 percent of malware families misbehave in more than one way.
Black Market Activity: Botnet clients, downloaders, and rootkits are generic, useful software sold on black markets as part of software toolkits. Criminals use these to commit premium SMS and click fraud, spam distribution, data theft, or bank fraud – and the complexity of these criminal activities is growing. Commercial criminals are now reusing and recombining these components to devise new, profitable schemes.
Near Field Communication: In 2013, we expect to see criminals abuse the tap-and-pay near field communications (NFC) technology used in mobile payment programs, or "digital wallets." This scam uses worms that propagate through proximity, a process we can call "bump and infect." The distribution path can quickly spread malware through a group of people such as in a passenger-loaded train or at an amusement park. When the newly infected device is used to "tap and pay" for the next purchase, the scammer collects the details of the wallet account and secretly reuses these credentials to steal from the wallet. Worm malware like this will spread by exploiting vulnerabilities on devices. This development would monetize the 11.8 percent of malware families that already contain exploit behaviors.
As the mobile space evolves, criminals will look at ways to generate revenue from features only mobile devices have. During 2012, about 16 percent of malware families detected by McAfee attempted to get devices to subscribe to premium SMS messages. In 2013, we foresee an increase in threats that will have users finding out they bought premium apps only when they check their bills.

Q: Blackberry Bold ToolTip Issue I have created a asp.net website and i added tooltip to a button by setting Title or ToolTip Attribute. But that tooltip is not getting displayed on blackberry bold. But its displaying in blackberry curve so what should i changed in my code to show tooltip on blackberry bold.
Regards
Ricky

A: Some versions of the blackberry browser has been known to not handle certain interpretations of HTML generated by ASP.Net too well.
I've had some strange situation before when testing on BB's. The first place to look is at the version of the browser on the bold and the curve. If the version giving issues is relatively out of date enough for the user base to be insignificant you may be able to forget about it.
If that is not an option, start by including a Blackberry.Config file. An example of how to do this and exactly what it does can be found here.

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the 2015 HMO Research Networks (HMORN) conference, the elite congregation of the brightest and most innovative in health research. Geisinger, Group Health, and 16 other high-performing health care systems in the U.S. participated in this knowledge exchange. I soaked in everything possible at the three-day conference, even some radiant California sun. There were 3 reoccurring themes that surprised me about the direction of health research and care.
Much like a round-table discussion between Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and Elan Monk, health leaders Dr. Jonathan Darer, Chief Innovation Officer at Geisinger, Dr. Robert Reid, Director of Research Translation at Group Health, and Dr. Nirav Shah, COO of Clinical Operations at KP Southern California are focused on innovation. They were clear – there is a new, refreshing approach to healthcare driven by innovation, transparency, value, and certainly one that builds a bridge between traditional research and care delivery. A grand promise, but with their dedication, I believe these leaders can usher in the next generation of healthcare. By the positive response in the room, others felt the same.
The HMORN conference kicked off with an expert panel which told us that, "It takes 17 years to turn 14% of original research to the benefit of patient care." 17 years. Pretty daunting statistic. However, this timeframe seems to be decreasing.
For example, Dr. Alyce Adams, Section Chief of Healthcare Delivery & Policy at KP Northern California, Division of Research, is running a longitudinal diabetes research study looking at group-based behavioral intervention to improve health management skills. This complex study uses technology to electronically enroll and gather consent, survey over the phone, and conduct an interactive follow up. Interestingly, if a patient does not meet their goals within the study, their data is immediately flagged for the physician, and action is taken within 48 hours. A great example of how research is beginning to play a real-time role in individual patient care.
There are very few industries where the collection, analyzing, and sharing of data is not a challenge. In healthcare, strict regulations and privacy laws only makes it more difficult. Walking through the poster session at the conference, it became apparent how important it is for health organizations to solve data management struggles. One poster in particular – by Alanna Kulchak-Rahm, PhD, Clinical Investigator at Geisinger's Genomic Medicine Institute – showcased one method: integrating a diagnostic decision support system with Epic, an electronic health record (EHR) system. Kulchak-Rahm outlined an innovative approach for extracting data from unstructured clinical data, so physicians can make sense of it. Additional work is currently underway to optimize, but improvements are beginning to be seen in regards to reduced data errors, duplicate work, and provider time saved.
Research is becoming embedded into healthcare delivery. It's great to see scientific minds thinking about how to effectively use technology and policy innovators with ambitions to change healthcare as we know it. Just how innovative is your health system when it comes to researching a cure for you and your loved ones? Where are you seeing health research and care innovation today? Do you think "learning healthcare" is achievable in our lifetime? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below!

There are few things in life as prestigious as being able to claim a World Record for some amazing feat, which is undoubtedly why so many people and entities are constantly 'declaring' them.
Well the explosive demolition industry is no different, and over the years there has always been a healthy competition for, and conflicting claims to, World Records. Occasionally these quests for recognition have been known to get a little trivial (Most people watching an implosion from a public viewing area? Largest post-tensioned, reinforced concrete structure in North America? Tallest building in the Caribbean?)
Monumental achievements in Barbados aside, implosionworld.com recognizes the following projects as holding the current World Record in specific major categories. Please note that we have intentionally withheld the names of specific blasters and contracting companies. It is generally recognized that, price and logistics being equal, several of the industry's top firms are capable of performing any of these projects (in fact, six different entities currently hold these records). In addition, if you're really intent on associating these events with blasters, most can be found in other areas of this website and others if you poke around enough.
LARGEST EXPLOSIVELY DEMOLISHED BUILDING
Sears Merchandise Center
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA
This impressive structure was built by an army of 2,000 laborers in 1918 and opened to the public in 1919. For seven decades it served as the centerpiece of Northeast Philadelphia before finally succumbing to 12,000 pounds of explosives in 1994.
At 2.7 million square feet of floor space, the Sears Merchandise Center has staved off numerous illegitimate claims to this record, most notably the Hudson's building in Detroit (2.2 million sq. ft.) and several 'large-but-hollow' structures including the Carburendum Building in Niagara Falls and the Kingdome in Seattle. Although the felling of these latter buildings presented their own unique challenges, each fell well short of the actual blasting footage necessary to compete for this record.
TALLEST EXPLOSIVELY DEMOLISHED BUILDING
Hudson's Department Store
Detroit, Michigan USA
At first, protesters objected loudly to the razing of this 26-story, 439-foot tall structure located in the heart of Detroit's commercial district. But years of neglect and decay precluded an economically viable alternative, and the building was brought down in 1998.
TALLEST FREE-STANDING STRUCTURE
Matla Nuclear Power Station Smokestack
After an interior portion of this 906-foot concrete stack collapsed during construction (killing 4 workers), blasting specialists were rushed to the scene to explosively fell the remainder of the structure. To the blaster's surprise, the concrete was so inferior that the massive stack 'telescoped' straight down instead of laying out into a prepared trench as anticipated.
Nonetheless, the endeavor was a success, and has held this record since 1982.
TALLEST EXPLOSIVELY DEMOLISHED STRUCTURE
CBC Transmission Tower
Many industry experts feel that this blast holds several records, including World's Most Peculiar Demolition Scenario. In April 2001, a Canadian pilot flying in a dense fog crashed his single-engine Cessna straight into a 1,217-foot tall TV transmission tower… so straight, in fact, that his plane remained stuck like a dart in the top of the tower. Demolition experts were called in to recover the wreckage by felling the structure with explosives, and set a new height record in the process.
(Note: Transmission-tower demolitions are placed in a separate category because they are not 'free-standing.' Support wires attached to various points on the tower remain connected to the ground throughout the demolition process, thereby maintaining an element of physical control notably dissimilar to other types of explosive demolition projects)
LONGEST EXPLOSIVELY DEMOLISHED STRUCTURE
Interstate 80 Bridge, MP-177
Boston Mills, Ohio, USA
With the push of a button in November 2003, demolition experts detonated 138 lbs. of RDX explosive charges to drop the 2,680-foot long Ohio Turnpike Bridge spanning Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Boston Mills, Ohio.
The decision to blast all nine over-deck truss and four girder spans simultaneously was primarily based on safety, as it allowed State Police to close the adjacent heavily traveled superhighway only once.
MOST STRUCTURES DEMOLISHED AT ONCE
(SHARED BY TWO PROJECTS)
Stelco Steel Plant
Hamilton, Ontario Canada
This 1997 blast was the centerpiece of a major plant upgrade and involved the simultaneous demolition of 20 structures including warehouses, storage sheds and smokestacks. The tricky part; all of the structures were constructed of steel, which is generally considered more difficult to work with than reinforced concrete.
Bow Valley Medical Center
Thirteen months after the Hamilton project, a different team of explosives experts performed an equally ambitious 20-building undertaking at one of Calgary's most historic institutions.
There were significant differences between the two events; whereas the Stelco blast involved steel structures in a remote industrial environment, Bow Valley involved taller concrete structures nestled in a dense residential neighborhood. Overall, Bow Valley seemed to take the edge in 'difficulty' due to the added burden of intense pre-blast publicity that eventually required the management of tens of thousands of sentimental spectators. At one point, the blast was delayed 20 minutes while several hot-air balloons violated air-space restrictions and swept in low over the complex.
OLDEST ITEM EXPLOSIVELY DEMOLISHED
The Great Buddas of Bamiyan
Central Bamiyan Province, Afghanistan
This record was ignominiously set in March 2001 when, in an attempt to destroy all religious monuments seen to compete with Islam, Afghanistan's ruling Taliban ordered explosives experts to demolish two of the world's largest standing Buddas. The historical statues, rising 175 and 120 feet respectively, had been hewn out of sandstone cliffs and dated back to the age of Christ.
The explosive demolition was sharply criticized by leaders around the world, and many others have since expressed grief at the loss of what the BBC called "one of Asia's greatest archeological treasures."

FABLife Cancelled After One Season
By Rebecca Iannucci / January 19 2016, 7:26 PM PST
FABLife is no longer in the running toward becoming America's Next Top Daytime Roundtable Show.
The nationally syndicated lifestyle talker has been cancelled after one season, according to our sister site Deadline.
"We're extremely proud of everyone involved with the show and would like to thank them for all of their contributions and tireless efforts," said Janice Marinelli, president of Disney/ABC Home Entertainment, in a statement. "We are especially appreciative of our talented and dynamic co-hosts Chrissy Teigen, Joe Zee, Leah Ashley and Lauren Makk, and we would also like to extend a huge thanks to our station partners for all of their support."
The cancellation comes two months after Tyra Banks — an executive producer and co-host of FABLife — stepped away from the series less than halfway through its freshman run, in order to focus on her cosmetics company and other entertainment ventures.
Original FABLife episodes will air through the end of the season. Are you bummed to see the show get booted?

Cramer says Heitkamp's voting record helped North Dakotans contrast candidates
BISMARCK -- Republican senator-elect Kevin Cramer boiled his Tuesday night victory down to one major factor: Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp's voting record.
Senator-elect Kevin Cramer speaks at a post-election press conference on Wednesday morning in Bismarck.

By John Hageman
BISMARCK - Republican senator-elect Kevin Cramer boiled his Tuesday night victory down to one major factor: Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp's voting record.
It was something that the incumbent senator didn't have when she defeated then-congressman Rick Berg by fewer than 3,000 votes six years ago. But through months of campaigning, Cramer made his case that Heitkamp wasn't as moderate as her reputation suggested.
"Rick did not have the advantage I had of running against somebody with a six-year voting record," he said in a news conference at the North Dakota Republican Party headquarters in Bismarck Wednesday, Nov. 7. "Even $30 million can't push a bad message, it just makes a bad message louder."
Cramer, a Republican congressman, defeated Heitkamp by a 55 percent to 44 percent margin in complete but unofficial results, according to the secretary of state's website. On Wednesday, he discussed transition plans and his preferred committee assignments while reflecting on the bruising and expensive campaign.
The victory helped Republicans keep control of the Senate as Democrats won a majority of House seats. In North Dakota, Cramer's victory meant Republicans will hold every statewide elected office while maintaining a supermajority in the state Legislature.
Berg, who's now the state Republican Party chairman, agreed with Cramer's assessment that Heitkamp's voting record helped contrast the candidates. Berg was only a first-term congressman when he ran for the Senate in 2012, while Cramer has three terms under his belt.
"The disadvantage of being in the House is that you have to run every two years. The advantage is people are used to voting for you," Berg said.
The race also appeared to reaffirm President Donald Trump's popularity in North Dakota, where he won by nearly 36 percentage points two years ago. He campaigned for Cramer twice in Fargo after cajoling him into taking on Heitkamp.
Trump told Cramer that he "knew it was going to be easy," Cramer said Wednesday.
"It wasn't easy," Cramer said with a laugh.
Kent Conrad, a former Democratic senator whose seat Heitkamp won in 2012, heaped praise on his successor for what he described as a long list of accomplishments. But he said Tuesday's vote showed North Dakotans wanted to "stick with this president."
Cramer won 41 of the state's 53 counties Tuesday, with Heitkamp finding support largely in the eastern edge of the state. She won Cass County, the most populous in the state, by a wider margin this year than she did in 2012 but fell further behind in Burleigh County.
And unlike 2012, Heitkamp won just one county in the western half of the state: Sioux County, home of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. Overall, she won half as many counties Tuesday as she did in 2012.
Meanwhile, Cramer carried several oil-rich western North Dakota counties more comfortably than Berg did. In Williams, home of Williston, he garnered 73 percent of the vote compared to 67 percent for Berg. In Stark County, he earned 74 percent of the vote to Berg's 64 percent.
Cramer cited Heitkamp's opposition to repealing a methane emissions rule and to a 20-week abortion ban as votes that didn't play well in the western area of the state. Heitkamp relied on protections for pre-existing medical conditions and trade as major campaign issues.
Dickinson's Rich Wardner, the Republican majority leader in the state senate, said Heitkamp wasn't seen as hostile to the oil and gas industry in western North Dakota, given her efforts to repeal the ban on oil exports. But he credited Cramer for making himself accessible to constituents outside the campaign cycle.
"People think they know him. They have a relationship with him," Wardner said. "It's not through the newspaper or through the television set."
Cramer also flipped a cluster of counties in the northeast and east-central part of the state.
Democrat Mac Schneider, who lost his bid for the U.S. House Tuesday, said the political split between urban and "ruby red" rural areas reflects a concerning national trend. Heitkamp herself acknowledged during her concession speech that she "took a thumpin' in the rural areas."
Schneider expressed optimism for Democrats who won legislative races Tuesday but didn't downplay the consequences of losing the party's star.
"You can't replace a leader like Heidi Heitkamp," he said.
Heitkamp was not planning media interviews Wednesday, a campaign spokeswoman said.
"We may have lost an election, but we haven't lost our enthusiasm for the state of North Dakota," Heitkamp said Tuesday night, before making a vow on behalf of Democrats: "We will not give up."
Cramer said the two candidates hadn't spoken as of late Wednesday morning. But he thanked Heitkamp for her service and said she is "tireless on the things that are important to her."
The two have unfinished business in Washington, D.C., however, as both were tapped to negotiate a new farm bill. Cramer was optimistic that the legislation will be completed before he's sworn in as a senator.

Police from several agencies responded to reports of a shooting that occurred near an Essex County Park that during the overnight hours.
According to preliminary reports, residents in the area of Vailsburg Terrace said they saw a dark-colored SUV that was occupied by two black males speed away from the scene of shots fired that erupted near Vailsburg Park shortly before 9 p.m.
A ShotSpotter activation alerted police of at least three rounds that fired off near the park where officers from Newark, Irvington and The Essex County Sheriff's Office canvassed the area for victims and possible suspects.
Residents in the area said it is a 'fairly common thing' to experience the sound of gunfire in the vicinity of the park on any given evening.

Home Sports Hart puts last year in the past
Hart puts last year in the past
Mark Zimmaro
Flyers goaltender Carter Hart is hoping to leave the struggles of the 2020-21 season in the past. Photo/Mark Zimmaro
The great Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jacques Plante once asked: "How would you like it, if at your job, every time you made the slightest mistake, a little red light went on over your head and 18,000 people stood up and screamed at you?"
It's the pressure of being a goalie in the National Hockey League. Arenas are even bigger now and television and streaming audiences allow hundreds of thousands to take notice of those tiny miscues.
And perhaps no city more than Philadelphia has tortured its fanbase with the goaltending position since Bernie Parent won back-to-back Stanley Cups in the mid-1970s.
For the first two years of his still-infant career, Carter Hart had settled the stomachs of Flyers fans with his cool and collective play between the pipes at the Wells Fargo Center. He put out fires behind a team that struggled to defend and he established a reputation as an unflappable, unbothered presence under the magnifying glass over the Flyers' goal crease, kicking shots to the corners and being the backbone of a playoff drive that finished one game shy of reaching the Eastern Conference Final.
Then year three happened.
Call it what you want, but Hart's 2020-21 season was about as ugly as the mangled noses of goalies in the 1950s before Plante became the first guy smart enough to wear a mask instead of blocking slap shots with his bare face.
Hart went from a .917 and .914 save percentage in his first two years to a .877, which ranked last (54th) among goalies who played in at least 17 games. His teammate, Brian Elliott (.889), was 53rd, meaning it might have had more to do with what was happening in other areas of the rink.

"Last year's in the past, so it has no effect on this upcoming season," Hart said during preseason. "I think this summer, we made a lot of good moves, lost some great players but I think some of the guys coming in will fill some big roles and step up. I'm looking forward to the start of the season."
The Flyers are banking on Hart's pedigree, skill and confidence to turn things back around. It's fathomable to think that maybe in an uncertain shortened season that was plagued by a lingering pandemic, Hart's 27 games of the 2020-21 season were just a blip on what could become a very good career.
The Flyers showed a measure of confidence by signing Hart to a new contract, although a three-year deal just south of $12 million didn't exactly scream franchise savior. Hart will need to regain that trust if he wants to remain the best option to solve decades of goaltending misery in Philadelphia, which somewhat recently included the wild adventures of Michael Leighton and Ilya Bryzgalov.
He's proven he can be the guy in big moments on the big stage. He was voted the best goalie in all of Canadian Junior Hockey twice and led Canada to gold in the World Junior Championships in 2018.
The Flyers, to their credit, went out and made corrections to their blue line in the offseason and are attempting to put more dependable defenders in front of their 23-year-old goalie. Their goal is to win more hockey games and hopefully keep that darn little red light from going on over Hart's head.

Can we think beyond Google Advertising?
Think of all those times you have been searching for stuff on Google and how a link on the right hand side of the screen attracted your attention, how you clicked on it and discovered a fab (or drab) site and how you got hooked (or repelled) to it, how you kept returning (or never returned) to it and how you recommended it to all your friends (or not even your worst enemies) and how finally you made a purchase/requested a quote/sent a mail to it (or vowed never to click on random links)? Yes, remember?
More often than not, it is the case within the parenthesis that happens. A link related to your search keyword appears and sometimes you click on it and often you don't even bother. In such a scenario, where every user has been conditioned to be careful through experiences like the ones within the brackets, it does not merely remain a question of 'can' we think beyond Google Advertising. The answer is obviously yes. But the operative word here is 'must'. That we 'must' think beyond Google Advertising.
To say that the web's potential as a marketing and advertising platform is under-utilized would be an understatement. There have been innovations but the scope is immense and still untapped. To begin with, one must understand that there are other search engines that users use and ignoring them could be losing out on quite a few potential visitors. Yahoo, MSN, Bing, AltaVista and many more.
Social Networking sites cannot be ignored too. But that goes without saying, since many believe that you need not have a website if your organization is on facebook and twitter. Which brings us to the next question- Can we think beyond Twitter and Facebook? Again, we must! Relying completely on FB and twitter to boost your business may not be a smart idea after all. You need to have a strong web presence other than on social networking sites.
123456 'likes' may look good on your Fan Page but you need to make sure if all those hits are doing anything substantial for you. And the best way to go about finding it out is to ask them directly or indirectly. Have more participative and interactive applications, get feedback, keep them informed and most importantly, keep your word. And (tadaa!) you are doing something significant.
So the next time you think of web advertising, let your thoughts not stop at and with Google. Think of all those sites your TA is sure to browse into, the forums they frequent and do something exciting to get them on your site and be sure to keep something doubly exciting ready on your site, so that it does not become the case of the Boy who cried 'Wolf! Wolf!

Abbazia di Novacella, Marchese Carlo Guerrieri Gonzaga Tenuta San Leonardo, Lechthaler & Maso Poli – Italian Wineries February 2010
Monks & Friars in the Cellars of Trentino Alto-Adige
Located in Alto Adige in the town of Varna, Abbazia di Novacella is the oldest winery in the world in continuous production. The Augustinian monastery and bishopric of Novacella was founded by Hartmann, Bishop of Brixen in 1142 and has featured prominently in Tyrol's history ever since. Its famous library, extensive cultural activities, and its popular wine cellar all bear witness to its glorious past. White grape varieties such as Sylvaner, Muller Thurgau, Gewürztraminer, Kerner, Pinot Grigio, and Veltliner have flourished in this cool, mountain valley around Novacella for centuries. Novacella also owns vineyards in South Tyrol's main wine growing area near Bolzano. The well ventilated hillside site produces first class red wines including Kalterersee, Edellvernatsch, and Pinot Nero. A third estate is located on the outskirts of Bolzano where South Tyrol's finest native red variety Lagrein flourishes in the scorching summer heat and yields rich, powerful red wines which improve for years. The winemaker is Celestino Lusin, who was named "Winemaker of the Year" in 2009 by Gambero Rosso, Italy's most prestigious wine guide.
Marchese Carlo Guerrieri Gonzaga Tenuta San Leonardo
Marchese Carlo Guerrieri Gonzaga Tenuta San Leonardo is located in Trentino, overlooking the Adige River. With its back shielded by the imposing Lessini Mountains, San Leonardo enjoys an exceptionally mild climate, characteristic of the southern end of Lake Garda. This site, with its church dedicated to St. Leonardo around the sixth century, presents evidence of the cultivation of grapevines from the early Middle Ages. In 1215, the place name of San Leonardo is clearly documented, when a monastery and hospice were founded by the Cruciferous Friars nearby. At that time, the vineyard became an integral part of San Leonardo. Nowadays the almost three hundred hectare property covers exactly the perimeter of the fief at that time. The Guerrieri Gonzaga family has been the landowner and vine grower at San Leonardo since the eighteenth century and today cultivates only red varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. The winemaker is highly respected Carlo Ferrini.
At the end of the 19th Century, the Lechthaler family was making wine at Piana Rotaliano when the area was still a part of Austria. By 1905, Lechthaler wines appeared in the best hotels and restaurants in the area and were sold in 750 ml bottles at a time when most wine was transferred to restaurant owners and inn-keepers in large barrels and sold to the public in smaller barrels. In 1950, the Togn family purchased the winery, and today produces mainly Pinot Grigio, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Noir, grape varieties that arrived in the Trentino region from Germany around the beginning of the last century. The family's Torre di Luna label specializes in Bordeaux varieties, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sauvignon Blanc. The winemaker is Goffredo Pasolli. *
Maso Poli
In 1979, the Togn family, which owns the Lechthaler estate, purchased the 18th Century Maso Poli property, including 15 hectares of land, 10 of which are planted to the traditional vines of the area, Pinot Nero, Pinot Grigio, Lagrein, and Teroldigo. Today, Valentina Togn has taken over management from her father Luigi and runs the business. In 2004, the family built a new winery, from which visitors can see the panorama of the Rotaliana Plains. The winemaker is Goffredo Pasolli, who is also the winemaker at the Lechthaler estate.
Italian Wines of the Month
Maso Poli – 2007 Pinot Grigio
This beautiful wine from hillside vineyards around Pressano on the Rotaliana Plains in Trentino-Alto Adige is 100% Pinot Grigio and has the typical color of the variety, a pale copper hue. The wine is fragrant and deeply flavorful with an unmistakable hint of pear. It obtains its deeper flavors because about 40% of the production is fermented in small French oak barrels with the rest in stainless steel tanks. The wine then rests on its lees for six months. Serve chilled as an aperitif or with entrees, such as grilled trout.
Torre di Luna – 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon
Torre di Luna, the Lechthaler label for its Bordeaux varieties, presents this 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon from vineyards in the southern part of Trentino. This very fresh tasting Cabernet Sauvignon includes 20% Cabernet Franc and was aged for 12 months in stainless steel tanks instead of oak barrels so that it has a lighter feel in the mouth. The wine shows ruby red color and aromas of fresh fruit, red berries, and hints of spice. The tannins are smooth and sweet. The wine is more versatile that heavier Cabernet Sauvignon and will pair well with pasta in tomato sauces, risotto with wild mushrooms, and mild Italian sausages. Serve at cool room temperature.
Winemaker Series
Abbazia di Novacella – 2007 Pinot Nero
Originally from Burgundy, France, Pinot Nero has won fans in many countries, including Italy, where its chosen home is Trentino Alto-Adige. It was widely planted in Trentino during the middle of the 19th Century, mainly as a substitute for existing vines, which were decimated by the root louse phylloxera. Made from 100% Pinot Nero fruit, the wine was aged for eight months in oak barrels and shows bright ruby color with garnet highlights, typical of the grape variety. This smooth and aromatic wine with lively aromas of wild black berries is best with more delicately flavored dishes, such as risotto with wild mushrooms, roasted chicken, or braised rabbit.
Marchese Carlo Guerrieri Gonzaga – 2003 Merlot
Now seven years old, this Gonzaga wine is 100% Merlot from estate vineyards and is mellowing with bottle age into ripe plum fruit layered over a faintly grassy background note. Dry, soft, and well-balanced on the palate, the wine is a natural match with rice and pasta in tomato or meat sauces as well as grilled and braised red meats, poultry, and soft cheeses.
Collector Series
Marchese Carlo Guerrieri Gonzaga – 2003 San Leonardo
This Tre Bicchieri award winner is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Merlot, grape varieties from Bordeaux, France, which found an ideal habitat in Trentino since the beginning of the 20th Century. Between 1988 and 2004, when the last San Leonardo was released, the wine has won Gambero Rosso's prestigious Tre Bicchieri (Three Glasses) award 12 times. Each grape variety is vinified separately and then blended shortly before bottling. The wine was aged for six months in Slavonian oak barrels and for 24 months in French barriques. With an intense garnet tinted ruby color, the San Leonardo expresses itself with remarkable aromatic intensity, which ranges from green peppers to red berries on a vanilla background. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, warm, and round with a very long and intense finish. Decant and serve at room temperature with roasted, braised, or stewed meats and game, and with mature cheeses.
Abbazia di Novacella Praepositus – 2006 Pinot Nero
Praepositus from the Latin means "appointed to lead (pre-positioned)," and the Abbazia di Novacella wines under this label are the winery's finest. Two Praepositus white wines, released in 2009 won the prestigious Tre Bicchieri (Three Glasses) award, the 2006 Valle Isarco Riesling and the 2007 Valle Isarco Sylvaner. This Praepositus Pinot Nero (in French Pinot Noir) is a bright ruby color with intense Pinot Nero fruit flavors and hints of fresh woodland and wild flowers. The wine is dry, full-bodied, and warm at 14.5% alcohol and displays a fine tannic weave with a strong structure and excellent length on the palate. The 2006 Pinot Nero was aged for 13 months in French barriques before release from the winery.
Italian Region of the Month
Trentino Alto-Adige, Italy's northern most region, borders Austria and Switzerland and then splits into two distinct provinces. Alto Adige in the north is better known as Sudtirol to its bi-lingual German-Italian speaking population around Bolzano. And Trentino, around the city of Trento to the south, is historically Italian. The Adige, Italy's second longest river flows from north to south through the center of the region on its way to the Adriatic.
Dominated by the Rhaetian Alps and the Dolomite Mountains, only about 15 percent of the region is suitable for cultivation. In the south, vineyards climb the sides of sweeping river valleys up to the foothills of high mountains. The snows fall heavily in the winter, and the breezes off the lakes and rivers cool the valleys in the summer.
The Etruscans were probably the first people to practice viticulture in the area and may have been responsible for training vines on wooden frames, a practice which the Romans found when they first arrived and which farmers still employ in the region. At the time, farmers in other parts of Italy more commonly trained their vines on trees. Here in the Trentino Alto-Adige, the Romans first used wooden barrels for ageing and transporting wine.
Today, Alto Adige's native Lagrein and Trentino's Teroldego are among Italy's most distinguished red wines, and Cabernet and Merlot, which have grown in the region for 150 years, have reached impressive heights. The region also produces some of Italy's finest Rosé. Among the white wines, Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Grigio, Sauvignon, and Riesling Renano can also stand with Italy's finest. Trentino's native Nosiola which is a fine dry white is also the base of Vino Santo, a rich, golden dessert wine. Trentino, which has Italy's largest production of Chardonnay is a leader with sparkling wines. The region also produces the aromatic Gewurztraminer, Sylvaner, and Muller Thurgau.

Lovers of the Holy Cross welcome three new members
In 1975, 28 sisters left Vietnam by boat, with nothing but the clothes on their back and some dried food; three years later they were invited to the Diocese of Orange and today serve 14 parishes from four convents

On a sweltering September day, three young women lay prostrate in front of the altar at St. Columban Church in Garden Grove. They were covered by a large white pall as they each promised to die to this world in order to be reborn in a new life with Christ. When they arose from these final vows the three new sisters, Lovers of the Holy Cross, embarked on a path that began in the mid-17th century in Vietnam.
For Kimberly Nguyen, one of the three professors, it was an unlikely journey taking more than a decade to bring her to this moment. She was born in Malaysia to parents who became "boat people" after escaping persecution in Vietnam in 1975. When Kimberly was a year old, the family was able to move to the United States.
"Growing up, I never ever thought I would become a sister because I was really 'mean' and loud," recalled a smiling and vivacious Sister Kimberly. "The only hint was when I was in fifth grade, one time during the consecration at Mass, a homeless man walked into the church and frightened many of the people. But at that moment, a voice came to me asking me if I wanted to do this. That was the first time I ever thought about becoming a sister."
The Lovers of the Holy Cross were founded in 1670 in Vietnam by the Bishop Pierre Lambert de la Motte, M.E.P. for the French colonial territories Tonkin and Cochinchina. In 1902 the sisters established a congregation in Phát Diệm , where a large Catholic cathedral still stands. In 1954 the sisters migrated to South Vietnam, after the country was divided at the 17th Parallel, following the Geneva Conference.
When Saigon fell in 1975, 28 sisters managed to leave Vietnam by boat, with nothing but the clothes on their back and some dried food. They had no idea where they were going to end up. Eventually they were reunited and sent to refugee camps in Pennsylvania and New York.
In 1978 the sisters were invited to the new Diocese of Orange by Bishop Johnson, to help minister to the many Vietnamese Catholics who had recently arrived in the county. Today they serve 14 parishes and have 4 convents in Orange County.
Los Angeles Archbishop José Gomez presided at the September profession ceremony at St. Columban Church, and Bishop Thanh Thai Nguyen, Auxiliary Bishop of Orange, was the homilist. They were joined by 30 concelebrants at the Mass and 850 friends and family in attendance. In addition to Sr. Kimberly, Sr. Maria Huong Xuan Thi Lam and Sr. Theresa Lan Ngo also made their final profession.
The day also included a renewal of vows for several sisters, many of whom had arrived here in 1975. Celebrating 70 years with the Lovers of the Holy Cross were Sister Ann Chuyen Thi Nguyen; Sr. Mary My Le, and Sr. Martha Marie Phan Nguyen. Sr. Maria Rosemary Hong Nguyen celebrated her 25th Jubilee.

Григо́рий Алексе́евич Ля́хов (род. 10 января 1994, Тюмень, Россия), более известный под сценическим псевдонимом OG Buda, — российский хип-хоп-исполнитель, автор песен, актёр и участник творческих объединений «RNDM Crew» и «Melon Music».

Биография и музыкальная карьера

Юность
Родился 10 января 1994 года в Тюмени, где прожил первые полтора года. Отец — Алексей Николаевич Ляхов (10 мая 1964 — 18 мая 1995) — бывший преступник и участник ОПГ «Десятка» в Тюмени. Из-за проблем его отца с криминалом семья Григория была вынуждена переехать жить в столицу Венгрии — город Будапешт.

Учился в школе при посольстве России в Венгрии, где познакомился с Федуком, отец которого работал в этой школе учителем физической культуры. Из-за плохого поведения по отношению к учителю технологии Григория вынудили покинуть учебное заведение, разрешив доучиться один месяц. В дальнейшем будущий исполнитель перешёл в венгерскую школу, которую окончил с трудом — из-за языкового барьера учёба давалась ему очень сложно. Как признавался сам Григорий, иногда более или менее хорошо учиться ему помогала харизма.

После окончания школы работал барменом в будапештском баре.

Начало музыкальной карьеры
В юности слушал русские рэп-группы «Рыночные отношения», «Чёрная Экономика» и «Каста», а из зарубежных исполнителей — 50 Cent и Eminem'а. С друзьями читал рэп на выдуманном языке, а свой первый трек записал в восемь лет. В 14—16 лет увлекался рэпом как хобби.

Серьёзно начал заниматься рэпом после совета Федука и членов творческого объединения «RNDM Crew». Первым выпущенным треком исполнителя считается сингл «1000 Freestyle», выпущенный 16 апреля 2017 года в его официальном сообществе во «ВКонтакте». В интервью для шоу «вДудь» Федук заявлял, что OG Buda и Big Baby Tape входят в его топ лучших рэперов России.

Первая популярность
3 июля 2018 года вышел сингл «Tourlife», трибьют к синглу «Moonlight» рэпера XXXTentacion. «Tourlife» значительно расширил фан-базу исполнителя. В том же году благодаря Obladaet Григорий познакомился с рэпером Платиной, с которым в дальнейшем начал плотное сотрудничество.

Мать Григория поначалу не верила в успех сына, однако первые крупные заработки Григория переубедили её.

25 октября 2018 года состоялся релиз дебютного мини-альбома OG Buda «Сладких снов», записанный совместно с Платиной, 21 ноября 2018 года — первый музыкальный видеоклип исполнителя «Это не любовь» (совместно с Платиной, в качестве камео в клипе также появляется Федук).

Вдохновение
Исполнители, повлиявшие на творчество Григория — Дрейк, Янг Таг, Playboi Carti и Бразилец из группы «Рыночные Отношения».

The Federal Reserve's next big policy event is on Wednesday.
To end its two-day meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) — which steers Fed policy — will publish its latest statement at 2 p.m. ET. We'll get updates to its forecasts for growth, interest rates and inflation.
Then, Fed chair Janet Yellen will hold a press conference starting around 2:30 p.m. ET.
Virtually no one expects that the Fed will raise its benchmark rate now, or even in July.
That's mostly because a lot suddenly changed on the first Friday in June.
We got the May jobs report that showed the economy added 38,000 jobs — the fewest in six years. The unemployment rate fell to a new cycle low of 4.7%, mostly because fewer people bothered to find a job, as the participation rate fell to a 2016 low.
Yellen spoke in Philadelphia the following Monday, emphasising the economy's strengths.
She said it's important to not attach too much importance on one month's data. But Yellen and the Fed would definitely want to be sure that the slowdown was temporary, possibly ruling out the next rate hike until at least September.
The statement would likely reflect that economic growth picked up after a first-quarter slowdown. But talk of global economic risk may make a return given the British referendum on its European Union membership next week, said Jefferies' Ward McCarthy in a note.
The dot plot shows where FOMC members think the target fed-funds rate should be at the end of the next few years and in the longer term. The dots were lowered in March to reflect two rate increases in 2016, halving the earlier projection.
And with half of 2016 over, markets will likely shift to what the Fed is communicating about next year, according to LPL Financial chief economic strategist John Canally.
Wells FargoThe Fed has indicated it won't wait for the futures market to catch up.
That could make the disconnect between the Fed's and the market's thoughts on where rates should be more troubling, Canally said.
But Yellen may look past this and other excuses to delay rate hikes "because monetary policy affects the economy with a lag," she said recently in Philadelphia.
The key thing to watch with the dots is how many officials see just one hike this year, said Neil Dutta, head of economics at Renaissance Macro, in a note.
That's because the Fed is now grappling with what is the right level of rates to maintain full employment and 2% inflation. And given the recent drop in the participation rate and continued low productivity, the longer-run estimate is likely to fall to 3% from 3.25%.
"This is all consistent with the notion that low policy rates on their own likely overstate the degree of monetary accommodation in the economy," he said.
While the Fed's GDP and unemployment forecasts may be cut, "we would not be surprised to see a modest bump to future inflation," said Wells Fargo's Sam Bullard in a note.
But that would be at odds with households' long-term inflation expectations, which steer the actual trend, and fell to a new low of 2.3% in June according to the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey.
Since the March meeting, two of the big transitory factors holding down inflation have improved; commodities have rallied, and the broad US dollar has weakened a bit.
But the drop is enough to put July off the table, prompt the FOMC to rethink its central forecast for two hikes this year, and push back 2017 expectations, said Dutta.

Blockchain Solution to Intellectual Property Protection
YouTeam Editorial Team
How Vaultitiude is using a blockchain technology within IP field to safeguard all of the users' creations and safely apply their copyrights
During the past year everyone everywhere went crazy about cryptocurrencies and in particular, the so called crypto gold — Bitcoin. However, it's likely that they haven't got a single clue about the fascinating technology behind them called blockchain. So what it is that makes blockchain so tempting that multiple industries are exploring its possibilities?
One of blockchain use cases is easily seen in the intellectual property (IP) law and practice. The protocol know as "proof of authorship" could provide the authors of digital information with undeniable evidences that proves their authorship. Moreover, blockchain offers possibilities for IP protection and registration and as evidence, either at the registry stage or in court. We have Dominik Thor, CEO of IPCHAIN Database with whom we will talk more about how this quite new technology could change the IP world.
1. The system of intellectual property (IP) rights has a series of distinct disadvantages and challenges to be overcome, especially when it comes to registering copyright. How does Vaultitude help to solve those?
Protecting intellectual property in all its forms can be highly complex and abstract for everyone but experts. It starts with the term that is not always clearly understood. IP includes everything ranging from inventions and scientific findings to all types of artistic work, including but not limited to code, text, photos, music, 3d work, designs etc. Then there is the abundance of trade secrets, confidential information, strategies and other things that do not fall within any of the other categories but represent highly valuable assets of a company.
IPCHAIN Database, or Vaultitiude as the software will be called, reduces the inherent complexity of IP protection, provides users with a clear overview of their IP and allows to solve previously complex issues. The platform encourages the user to safeguard all of their creations by storing them in a safe digital vault, a central feature of Vaultitude. Further, the user will be able to, thanks to immutable Blockchain technology, easily and safely acquire proof of his/her authorship for the practical application of copyrights, make defensive publications, share confidential information, sell or license his work or get in touch with IP professionals to successfully file patents and trademarks.
Vaultitiude platform using a blockchain technology enables users to easier safeguard all of their creations, patents, and trademarks.
2. What are the practical use cases it provides?
Right from the very beginning we have been in close contact with leading players in the IP industry and have benefited from their tremendous support in identifying existing difficulties and developing strategies how to use automatically), the major prerequisite is being able to prove that you had some idea prior to anyone else. That is a simple enough concept, however legally proving just that has been difficult in the past. How can you prove just when exactly you wrote down your idea and are the testimonies of colleagues and friends really sufficient in court? The answer, most often, is no.
Storing information on a website, that can be edited at any time, certainly will not be a sufficient type of proof either. That all changes once you introduce Blockchain as a means to prove your rights. With this immutable ledger you can document the creation of IP as well as who has been given access, who bought it etc. This is the central idea behind Vaultitude.
3. When it comes to gathering to your development team, how complicated/easy it was to find the right people? And where did you find your team?
As with all new industries and technologies, the actual number of experienced developers is severely limited. What stroke me as pretty surprising – however less so if one considers that the Blockchain community has its roots in being proponents of free transfer of money and often is critical of any outside or central regulation – was the fact that all the projects I came across tried having all developers as full-time employees and mostly avoided outsourcing.
At Vaultitude we followed a more traditional view as used by leading companies and also supranational organisations and stakeholders in IP. We wanted to have the best possible developers working on our software and that means choosing guys that come with a lot of previous experience and recommendations and establish a long-term partnership. We do have our internal tech guys, such as a very experienced CTO, but we strongly believe that by combining the talents of a pool of different coders, each with their own strengths, we can provide the very best solution possible.
We work with the blockchain development studio LimeChain, which we encountered through DLT Capital, a partner network of blockchain experts. To us, LimeChain represents the ideal solution of a team with highly dedicated experts that each focus on different aspect of our software Vaultitude. They provide services from technical development for Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) to full-fledged decentralized applications (dApps). In relation to Vaultitude, LimeChain created the blockchain architecture and smart contract development, the coding of the actual application, user experience, and UI design. We work with a team of 8 people and thanks to their vast project management experience we can advance at a brisk pace. As you understand, Vautitude software relies strongly on constant innovation – something that we, as a team, achieve, on daily bases.
4. Do you think that companies intending to maintain proprietary rights in software will likely experience challenges?
Filing patents on software is tricky. The code itself is copyright protected but code can be rewritten and modified so it is rather the central idea that needs to be protected via a patent. To allow for that it has to be unique and new and that very much depends on the perspective of the patent authority.
I think a lot of developers are not considering to protect their IPs as this can be a time consuming process that requires the help of patent lawyers with an in depth understanding of code to create an application that doesn't infringe on prior art and still has that novelty aspect to it. Needless to say this can also cost a lot of money. Especially with a view to Blockchain technology, this means that the current forerunners, small startups, are missing out and it will be the lagging behemoths who actually successfully file patents. The European Patent Offices is conducting a research project on the subject of Blockchain patents – that is patents with a Blockchain "element" in the claimed invention, that will be looking at patent filing statistics, where the inventors are, where they file, with whom they collaborate, top applicants, top inventors, citation analysis etc. I do not doubt that we will all be surprised to see the name of big corporates as patent applicants, maybe even from industries that so far have take a more critical view on Blockchain, such as big banks.
From the perspective of being a provider of IP protection services, I think Vaultitude can help by providing the means for quick defensive publication and proof of authorship. We specifically consider software code or game mechanics as an interesting sue case and work with some leading computer game developers to come up with a good solution.
Dominik Thor is the founder and CEO of IPCHAIN, a company focusing on using blockchain technology to better protect intellectual property rights. Currently, they are the only company in this field directly working with leading IP organizations such as WIPO and major international patent offices. Dominik studied in Vienna and Miami and started his career working for international banks. In addition to his role at IPCHAIN, he has co-founded a biotech company with a strong R&D focus.
