Defence Of StatutoryAcquiescence Unavailable Against A Registered Trade Mark
Author: Sri Lekha
In the trademark infringement suit GSK Consumer Healthcare S.A v. EG Pharmaceuticals & Ors., IA No. 6749/2019 in CS (Comm) No. 238/2019, a Single Judge (R.S. Endlaw, J.) of the Delhi High Court vide his order dated October 31, 2019 while granting the interlocutory application (for interim injunction) has clarified that the defence of acquiescence under Section 33(1) of the Trade Marks Act, 1999 is not available against the proprietor of a registered trade mark. The Court has held that a registered proprietor cannot be non-suited by a defence of statutory acquiescence since such a defense is available only in a passing off action by an unregistered mark.
The Plaintiff instituted a suit against the Defendants to restrain them from infringing its registered trade mark OTRIVIN through adoption and use of BIOTRIVIN for identical goods by the Defendants. The Plaintiff claimed that its product was launched in the year 1956 in Finland and the earliest launch of its product in India can be traced back to the 1980s. The Plaintiff submitted that the predecessor-in-interest of the Plaintiff became aware of the mark BIOTRIVIN filed for registration by Defendant No. 3 when it was advertised (for opposition in the Trade Marks Journal) on July 1, 2007. The Plaintiff stated that while an opposition was filed against the Defendant's trade mark application, it was dismissed as time-barred, and subsequently the application proceeded to registration. The Plaintiff submitted that it came across the Defendant's product on online pharmacies in April 2019 pursuant to which it instituted the present suit.
A Written Statement was filed only by Defendant No. 2. The joinder of Defendant No. 1 to the suit was challenged on the ground that the latter is not concerned with the subject dispute since it is merely a manufacturer of the product under the trade mark of the Defendant No. 2. No interlocutory application was, however, filed by Defendant No.1 seeking deletion of Defendant No. 1. The joinder of Defendant No. 3 was also pointed out as being bad on the ground that it was dissolved and merged with the Defendant No. 2 vide order dated March 15, 2017 of National Company Law Tribunal, Ahmedabad. Formal deletion of Defendant No. 3 was also not sought though.
Defendant No. 2 contended that it had been using the mark BIOTRIVIN since 2007. They further contended that the Plaintiff is aware of the manufacturing license granted to the Defendant in 2007 which was subsequently renewed in July 2012. The Defendant went on to contend that its products under the mark BIOTRIVIN are sold in the market since 2008 which is within the knowledge of the Plaintiff. Relying on this, the Defendant contended that there has been statutory acquiescence on the part of the Plaintiff so its prima facie case for an interim injunction is weak.
For ease of reference, the relevant portion of Section 33(1) of the Trade Marks Act, 1999 has been extracted below:
Section 33. "Effect of acquiescence – (1) Where the proprietor of an earlier trade mark has acquiesced for a continuous period of five years in the use of a registered trade mark, being aware of that use, he shall no longer be entitled on the basis of that earlier trade mark—."
While analysing the availability of the defence of acquiescence under Section 33(1) against a 'registered' proprietor of a trade mark, the Court elaborated on how the statute distinguishes between a proprietor and a registered proprietor. The Court, in this regard, held that – "Section 33 refers to the proprietor of an earlier trade mark. It does not refer to "registered proprietor or proprietor of an earlier registered trade mark". The Act makes a distinction between a "proprietor" and a "registered proprietor", with Section 2(v) thereof defining only the registered proprietor in relation to a trade mark as a person for the time being entered in the Register as proprietor of the trade mark. Thus when Section 33 refers to a "proprietor" as distinct from "registered proprietor", reference thereto is evidently to a proprietor of an earlier trade mark."
Based on this reading, the Court went on to hold that the defence of statutory acquiescence is not available against the Plaintiff since it owns a registration of its mark; that therefore the provision contained in Section 33(1) is not applicable.
While arriving at its decision, the Court placed reliance on a judgment of the Division Bench (M. Mudgal, J. and V.J. Mehta, J.) of the Delhi High Court in the case of Goenka Institute of Education & Research v Anjani Kumar Goenka & Anr., FAO (OS) No. 118/2009, wherein the Court had observed, but by way of obiter – "…Section 33 is with reference to the right of an unregistered user and a subsequent registered user…". The Court in this earlier case had not directly pronounced on the issue of unavailability of the defence of acquiescence for being set up against a registered mark.
The Court's attention had been drawn to two judgments of the Bombay High Court which had taken a different view on this point.
In Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd. vs. Corona Remedies Pvt. Ltd., 2014 SCC Online Bom 1064, the Court had observed – "All that Section 33 says is that where, as between two registered proprietors, the later registrant is able to show acquiescence of at least five years, certain statutorily mandated consequences follow. In other cases, the plea can well be taken, the only difference being that the statutorily mandated consequences in Sections 33(1)(a), (b) and Section 33(2) would not necessarily result.".
Neel Electro Techniques vs. Neelkanth Power Station, 2014 SCC Online Bom 663, the other judgement of the Bombay High Court discussed by the Delhi High Court, had observed – "Section 33 deals with the case of two registered trade marks, registered at different points of time. If the proprietor of the earlier trade mark (registered prior in point of time) acquiesces in the use of the later trade mark (registered later in point of time) for five years, he cannot apply to have the registration of the later trade mark declared invalid or oppose the use of the later trade mark, unless the registration of the later trade mark was not applied in good faith."
The Delhi High Court found itself unable to concur with the opinions of the Bombay High Court in the two afore-mentioned cases. It stated – "Section 33 is found to be designed for the protection of a registered trade mark, by saving it from an action for passing off, by providing that if the proprietor of a mark has acquiesced in use of a registered trade mark for a period of five years, he/she shall not be entitled to apply for revocation of the mark or to oppose the use thereof."

We knew that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 was coming our way, but we didn't know exactly when. Today Qualcomm has finally revealed its Snapdragon 820 processor. The new chip is expected to be powering most of the major flagships in the next year. Qualcomm promises faster speeds with the new chip and they say that it has a more power-efficient design, along with some great new features – Quick Charge 3.0 being one of them.
The Snapdragon 820 clocks in at 2.2GHz and packs Qualcomm's new Kyro CPU, which the company says will offer twice as much power and efficiency as last year's Snapdragon 810 thanks to the new 14nm FinFET process. It also includes a new Spectra image signal processor, which lets you capture photos with up to 28-megapixels, and a Hexagon 680 digital signal processor for better battery life and performance. Other specs include an X12LTE modem and advanced tri-band Wi-Fi.
In terms of graphics the Adreno 530 GPU is used with the Snapdragon 820. It's said to come with a 40% improvement to graphics performance, compute capabilities, and power usage when compared to the Adreno 430 from the Snapdragon 810.
Qualcomm's new processor also introduces Quick Charge 3.0, which the company says is 38 percent more efficient than Quick Charge 2.0 and four times faster than regular charging.
The new snapdragon 820 SoC also includes support for Snapdragon Sense ID, which is a new security feature that takes an ultrasonic reading of your fingerprint to unlock the device.
We will see the Snapdragon 820-powered devices in Q1 2016, and Samsung's upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S7 might be one of them.
Let's wait and see. Be sure to share the news with your friends.


To celebrate our centenary we took part in a number of events, some that we organised locally, some that were national and some that were international.
In 1907 on Brownsea Island near Poole, Robert Baden-Powell, a hero at Mafeking in the Boer War, organised a camp for a collection of local boys. One hundred years on there are scouts in every country of the world bar a handful that have expressly forbidden scouting.
As well as events to mark the centenary we also added a centenary necker, tied in a friendship knot, onto which four centenary badges could be added: a centenary-camps badge, bring-a-friend for introducing a friend to scouting, scouting-sunrise for joining the dawn event on the actual centenary anniversary day and join-in for taking part in one of the other centenary events like tree planting.
We held a special commemorative service at Great St Mary's church in the centre of Cambridge preceded by a picturesque candle-lit procession from 'the backs' through the colleges.
One of the centenary activities was to mark one of our normal Tuesday evening meetings as a bring-a-friend meeting. This meant that cubs or scouts could bring along a friend to show them what scouting is all about and maybe give an insight into why scouting has grown into the worldwide movement that it is today.
We joined scouts, cubs and beavers from all over the UK under canvas on the same night. As it turned out it was the wettest night of the year! The camp, or jamboree, for the Cambridge district was held at Cherry Hinton Hall and was hence quickly known as Cherry Jam. Activities included zip-wires, human-table-football, a disco and a multitude of crafts as well as a huge camp fire lit by our eldest scout.
To mark the actual centenary anniversary we held a special event at dawn on the day that, 100 years earlier, the camp began on Brownsea that started scouting, as packs, troups and groups were doing all over the world at dawn where they were. After a few speeches we all rushed to the top of Castle Mound and surveyed Cambridge in the early morning light.
We set out to plant 100 trees at Wandlebury Hill, just south of Cambridge, to mark the centenary. In the end we planted around 280 saplings to form a natural hedge to keep livestock that help graze to maintain the meadows at Wandlebury from escaping into neighbouring farmers' fields. They were predominantly thorn trees but all native to the UK, such as Hawthorn and Blackthorn. It was a cold 'horizontal rain' type day as can be seen from the photo but even so many of the cubs and scouts, and even some beavers, made it to help out.

White Christmas – BOST Musicals
Rob Stanway
The Christmas Season is upon us and what better way to get in the spirit than to watch a seasonal show at your local theatre. One local group, BOST Musicals based in Liverpool, have enjoyed an extended Christmas this year – rehearsing for Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" since the height of summer.
White Christmas is based on the 1954 film you may know, starring Bing Crosby and co. 10 years after being at war together, a group of old comrades find themselves, each-other and love along the way. Showbiz stars Bob Wallace and Phil Davis follow new flames Betty and Judy to Vermont on a whim where they meet their old General. Struggling with the Inn that he's plunged his life savings into, Bob and Phil come up with the perfect solution.
It's Christmas spirit, love and friendship all wrapped up.
The show is filled with some very pleasant numbers – White Christmas being the most popular, of course. More obvious still, the script is particularly traditional and BOST presented the production in this manor too. BOST have managed to fill a large stage with a professional set that is worthy of the theatre that it is presented in.
The show is comfortably paced and for that reason makes a good recommendation for those a little older. I expect that those who may have grown up with the film will enjoy this performance and that it will bring back very good memories.
Large dance scenes and company numbers are particularly enjoyable. I especially enjoyed the "White Christmas Dancers" who are superbly talented as a group. Graeme Henderson also impresses with his tap solos.
The Junior Dancers clearly have great careers ahead of them too. Exceptionally talented youngsters who are confident and comfortable on the stage.
In a huge cast of 82 talented performers of all ages it almost seems unfair to single individuals out and with a production team of 57 too (plus further credits and thank yous) it highlights just how much work, by how many people goes into what has to be said is a huge event.
BOST are not short of notable members but one in particular, Director Elsie Kelly, has directed 80 musicals having been permanent director for the group for 40 years. You'll recognise Elsie for many things, more recently though as the character Noreen Maltby in Benidorm. From seasoned performers to rising stars, one of the youngest members of the cast, Chloe Fenton, can be recognised from the UK version of Dance Mums.
This production is light and enjoyable and whilst it is not a professional cast, it is a fitting tribute to the original film.
For a local group to take up the challenge of presenting a show at the Liverpool Empire – Europe's largest 2 tiered theatre takes guts to say the least. But you know by now, this is no ordinary local theatre company. They celebrate 90 years this year, which is absolutely unheard of. You can learn more about BOST, including an impressive presentation of their history at the BOST Musicals Website.
You can book tickets to White Christmas, which plays at the Liverpool Empire until Sunday 20th November by visiting www.atgtickets.com/liverpool.
Be sure to check out "Anything Goes" and "Oliver" that this group have coming up in 2017.

With big games looming, Manteca takes care of Sierra
Lathrop swept in boys-girls doubleheader against Mountain House
Fight over traffic bulbs continue to set tone of talks on downtown
The debate over downtown Manteca's future is once again creating a divided house.
A presentation Tuesday night by city-hired consultant Kristen Cowell-Schubert prompted several merchants – including Brenda Franklin who has been extremely vocal over the subject – to voice their displeasure with some of the proposals but they were even more upset about what the proposals left out.
The critics painted the situation as one of those who have made the historic district their home for generations that just wanted to see their original proposals taken seriously against having "high-priced" consultants brainstorm ideas that the property owners don't want to see.
"This all started about taking the (traffic) bulbs off of Main Street," said Franklin of Tipton's Gift and Stationary. "We went to the City Council and we all needed to speak about that, and somehow our comments turned into this survey."
According to Franklin, the cost of Cowell-Schubert's study if allowed to continue could end up costing the city somewhere in the neighborhood of the $300,000 to $400,000 range – a large investment, she contends, considering that there are merchants that have been meeting for over a year to figure out the best way to deal with the traffic patterns and the bulbs that many merchants feel cut down on their available on-street parking.
Actually, the redevelopment agency hired the services of the consulting firm at about a 10th of what Franklin said the amount could balloon to if they are allowed to continue. The single propose of the study was to determine if property owners downtown were willing to tax themselves to put in place marketing and other improvements aimed at making the central district more competitive with new shopping area. Essentially, it was to see whether there was the support for forming a self-taxing Business Improvement District.
Several council members have indicated if the downtown can't come to an agreement on some course of action they will be extremely reluctant to put any more money into downtown.
And it isn't just the merchants that have a problem with the current traffic flows.
Manteca District Ambulance chief executive officer Dana Solomon pulled no punches when he attended a meeting last year where he said that the bulbs create backups along the major thoroughfares that should be the quickest route to an emergency. Instead, Solomon said, his ambulance crews often take the side streets to bypass the traffic – many of which have uncontrolled intersections.
Solomon was not present at the City Council meeting where the new study was being discussed.
Not everyone in attendance, however, was opposed to the study that some feel might actually correct the traffic problem that has only grown as more and more residents use the two-way downtown streets to navigate the city and get downtown.
One resident likened the new proposal to what was done in East Bay cities like Walnut Creek where the quaint downtown continues to thrive thanks to a heads-up engineering approach at handling the massive quantities of traffic that flood the streets daily.

Хуана I од Кастиље (; Толедо, 6. новембар 1479 — Тордесиљас, 12. април 1555) је била шпанска краљица. У историји је позната и као Хуана Луда, због своје опсесивне љубави према свом супругу, Филипу Лепом, која је на крају и учинила да изгуби разум. Прво је била инфанта од Кастиље и Арагона, затим надвојвоткиња од Аустрије, војвоткиња од Бургундије и Бребанта и грофица од Фландрије. Након смрти своје мајке, краљице Изабеле I од Кастиље, постала је и краљица Кастиље и Леона, Галиције, Гранаде, Севиље, Мурсије, Гибралтара и Канарских острва као и Западних Индија (1504—1555) и Арагона, Наваре, Напуља и Сицилије (1516—1555), поред других титула као што су кнегиња од Барселоне и господарица од Бискаје. Све те титуле је наследила од својих родитеља, Изабеле I од Кастиље, и Фернанда II од Арагона, и тиме је ујединила Шпанију под једном круном почев од 16. јануара 1516. Иако је проглашена ментално неспособном за владање и затворена је у Тордесиљасу, формално ће владати заједно са својим сином, Карлом I од Шпаније до своје смрти, 1555. године.

Деца

Из брака са Филипом Лепим, Хуана је изродила шесторо деце, од којих су све шесторо постали краљеви и краљице:
 Карло I од Шпаније и V од Немачке, цар Светог римског царства
 Фердинанд I, надвојвода од Аустрије и цар Светог римског царства
 Леонор од Аустрије, краљице Португала и Француске,
 Изабела од Аустрије, краљице Данске и касније Калмарске уније,
 Марија од Аустрије, краљица Угарске и

Gracie Parrot wins 2021 NAIA Individual National Championship
courtesy Campbellsville University Athletics
Green County's Gracie Parrott, Campbellsville University golfer, won the NAIA Individual National Championship on Friday at Rose Creek Golf Course in Oklahoma City, Okla. Gracie is the daughter of Walt and Deana Coffey-Parrott and granddaughter of Billy Dean Coffey, 5th District Magistrate of Adair County.
"I'm so thankful for the opportunities that God has blessed me with and can't even begin to describe the feeling of this day and week," Parrott said. " This whole week has been a dream come true and I never imagined this actually becoming a reality."
In addition to her parents, family, teammates, coaches and caddy, Parrott wishes to thank her entire support system. "Thank you so much to everyone who has called, text, commented, shared, broke their refresh button on golf stats, prayed, etc because all the support from people back home has made this week 100x more special. I'm so happy we get to bring this championship title back home to Kentucky!"
Parrott is full of gratitude and has the intent of more improvements and wins.
"God has blessed me in so many ways and I'm forever grateful for the talent and opportunities he has given me. I can't wait to continue my career next year with my team and bring home some more hardware! GO TIGERS!!"
Parrott won the title after trailing by two shots at the completion of the third round earlier in the day on Friday.
Parrott shot her second-best score of the week with a 70 (-2) to finish the four-round tournament at 287 (-1) as she entered the clubhouse as the first group to finish and the leader. Parrott's 287 came after a first round 69 (-3), second round 73 (+1), third round 75 (+3) combined with the final round 70 to finish as the only player under par for the tournament.
With the title, Parrott becomes the first ever NAIA Individual National Champion in the sport of golf on either the men's or women's side in the history of Campbellsville University. She also earned the honor of All-Tournament Team as one of the top 15 individual players in the tournament.
Parrott was steady for the majority of her round on Friday as she only carded a single bogey on the day while adding three birdies. On the front, she birdied the fifth hole but gave the shot back on the sixth after her third-shot chip ran through the green and flirted with the hazard. She was able to come back and hit the second chip close to tap in for bogey.
Like she has all tournament, she played a strong nine holes on the back with two birdies and no bogeys with her birdies coming on holes 11 and 14. The only real trouble she found on the back where on holes 13 and 16 as she missed both greens but a good bunker shot on 13 and a chip on 16 to about three feet allowed her to get up and down for par.
On 11, her tee shot ended up in the left rough as she hit an approach that she didn't like off the club but it rolled up to about two feet of the hole as she hit the birdie putt. On the par five 14th, she stayed on the fairway through her first two shots as she was able to flip a wedge to about five feet and nail the putt for birdie to put her at two under for the round.
At the start of her round, due to the players continuing Thursday's third round Parrott's scores were unknown until they finished up the third round. At the completion of the third round, Taylor French was leading the tournament a one under with Parrott's tournament score after the third round at one over.
French fell off in a big way during the final round finishing at a tie for 10th after her fourth round 81. Parrott's playing partner over the third and fourth rounds, Gurman Knight of William Jessup ended up carding a final round 72 (E) to go into the clubhouse as the runner up at 290 (+2).

Q: Using hour in sqlite When I'm creating a table in SQLite, I can use, for example, "day DATE". But if I want a hour, can I use "hour TIME"?
In my Java Class, I have:
private Time hour

and
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("hour", hour.getCurrentTimezone());

In datebase, I used "hour DATE".
I just wanna save it in datebase.
Well, Here is the full code (I think it might help):
private DatabaseHelper helper;

private int hour, minute;
private Button hourButton;

private Date hour;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.encontro);

    ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
    actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance()

    hour = calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
    minutw = calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE);

    hourButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.hour);
    horarioCombinadoButton.setText(hour + ":" + minute);

    helper = new DatabaseHelper(this);
}

public void selectHour(View view) {
    showDialog(view.getId());
}

@Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
    switch (id) {

    case R.id.hour:
        return new TimePickerDialog(this, hourListener, hour, minute, true);
    }

    return null;
}

private OnTimeSetListener hourListener = new OnTimeSetListener() {
    public void onTimeSet(TimePicker view, int hourSelected, int minuteSelected) {
        hour = hourSelected;
        minute = minuteSelected;

        hourButton.setText(hour + ":" + minute);
    }
};

public void salveHour(View view) {
    SQLiteDatabase db = helper.getWritableDatabase();

    ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
    values.put("hour", hour.getTime());

    long result = db.insert("selito", null, values);

    if (result != -1) {
        Toast.makeText(this, getString(R.string.save), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    } else {
        Toast.makeText(this, getString(R.string.error), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
    helper.close();
    super.onDestroy();
}

A: The date and time functions use a subset of IS0-8601 date and time formats.
The time() function returns the time as HH:MM:SS
The date() function returns the date in this format: YYYY-MM-DD
The datetime() function returns "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"
Based on that:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
Date date = new Date(hour.getTime());
String databaseValue = sdf.format(date);

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("hour", databaseValue);

A: SQLite does not have any built-in date/time formats; such values are stored as strings or numbers.
You can simply store the hour value as a number, and due to SQLite's dynamic typing, you can call the column type whatever you want.
However, this number will just be a number, you have to do any conversions from/to complete timestamps by yourself.

Informational fair to highlight services for people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Twins Jordan, left, and Matthew, right, have been able to receive counseling and other support, with assistance from Multnomah County's Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Services Division.
Ten-year-old Matthew is ready for warm weather.
"I can't wait because I know how to swim underwater," he said. "I just jumped in and I got the hang of it."
Swimming, it turns out, is just one of many things Matthew has gotten the hang of recently. He's also an ace basketball player, a master of online gaming, and — together with his twin brother, Jordan — a pro at navigating the ramps in his neighborhood skate park. He's an all-around amiable, active and fun-loving kid.
It hasn't always been that way.
"It used to be really treacherous. It was hard," Matthew's mother, Kim Ritter, said, recalling a time when Matthew had trouble controlling his anger and sometimes attacked her. "Raising the boys, it's been tough."
'I didn't know what life held'
Ritter thought she couldn't have kids. Her pregnancy was a surprise, as was the boys' arrival 13 weeks early.
Kim Ritter has been a tireless advocate for her sons, Matthew and Jordan.
"I was really scared. I didn't know what to expect," Ritter said. "I was petrified because I didn't know what life held."
The boys were born with "some complications, but not too much," Ritter said. As they got older, however, she noticed they began to miss some developmental milestones and brought them to be examined at Doernbecher Children's Hospital.
The boys were diagnosed with several types of developmental delays and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Ritter said. One of the twins also had a sensitivity to sounds and trouble eating without choking.
"My life has been swamped with appointments," Ritter said. "I've been wanting to learn more about kids with disabilities."
A developmental disability is a condition such as cerebral palsy, autism or epilepsy that a person is born with, or obtained before age 22, and which causes significant delays in everyday functioning. A person with an intellectual disability has significantly below-average intellectual and adaptive skills as measured by standardized testing administered by a qualified psychologist.
Twins Jordan, left, and Matthew, right, enjoy riding their scooters and bicycles and playing basketball and online games.
Inclusion and respect
Ritter's commitment to finding ways to help her sons eventually led her to Multnomah County's Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Services Division. The connection helped Ritter to continue to understand Matthew and Jordan's conditions and opened her eyes to the breadth of services and opportunities available to them.
"When (IDDSD) got in my life...that's when I started learning a little more about their diagnosis and a little more about what kind of problems they really had," Ritter said. "I've learned other ways of getting through to them."
Through its programs and other initiatives, Multnomah County supports inclusion of and respect for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
"The County is committed to helping people with intellectual or developmental disabilities experience personal growth and development, enjoy meaningful relationships, safely live and fully participate in communities and activities they choose," said Dawn Alisa Sadler, senior program manager for Multnomah County's Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Services Division.
Among other things, the Division:
Serves individuals living independently, in specialized housing or in the family home.
Assesses individual needs and aids in order to achieve and maintain personal outcomes as outlined in the Individual Support Plan (ISP).
Coordinates with state, public and private agencies to provide services.
Assists individuals in accessing employment, relief care and behavioral consultation.
Guides and supports families in planning for the future.
Matthew and Jordan have benefited from a number of services. They also have been able to continue to live at home with their parents. Jordan has graduated from a counseling program, while Matthew still receives skills training and therapy to help with his behavior.
"He's found ways to calm himself before it escalates," Ritter said. "It's getting a lot easier, a lot easier."
A support system
When they're not in fourth grade, the boys spend much of their time riding their scooters and bicycles at the skate park and playing basketball and other games at the nearby Boys and Girls Club. They are thriving, Ritter said.
"I'm so grateful for that," she said.
Ritter said her relationship with the County over the last several years has gone beyond just receiving or being directed to services for Matthew and Jordan.
Ritter said her case manager, Sue Hartinger, has become a key part of her support circle.
"Just having somebody who will show up to the all the boys' functions…is important," Ritter said. "It helps me feel supported. And that's a big part of it. I've got to be well to take care of them."
"She's so resilient and has persevered with so many things," Hartinger said. "She's such a strong advocate for these guys. She's had to do that on multiple levels and systems."
On May 1, the Intellectual and Developmental Services Division of the Department of County Human Services will host an informational fair about its services. The fair will take place from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the DHS Self Sufficiency office at 11826 NE Glisan St. in Portland. The event is free and open to the public and will feature raffle prizes, music and activities for kids.
If you or someone you know is interested in being referred for County services, call 503.988.6258 to begin the application and evaluation process.

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Use a food processor to blitz the nuts until they are almost finely ground – leaving a few larger pieces for texture. Alternatively use a sharp knife to finely chop them. Stir in the cinnamon and set aside.
2. Cut the filo sheets in half to make equal sized squares, stack all 8 squares of filo on top of each other and cut into 12, so the squares are slightly bigger than the holes of a 12-hole muffin tin. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, then use a pastry brush to coat each hole in the muffin tin with the butter.
3. Press a square of filo pastry into each hole then brush with butter. Repeat twice more, so each hole has three sheets of butter-coated filo pastry in it. Spoon a teaspoonful of the ground nut mixture into each filo-lined hole, then repeat the butter and pastry process three more times. Divide the remaining nut mixture between the tarts, then top each one with the remaining scrunched pieces of filo to create a textured appearance.
4. Brush the top of each tart with butter, then bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
5. While the tarts are baking, make the syrup by placing the sugar into a saucepan with 100ml water. Stir in the orange blossom and rose water and warm over a low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. When the mixture is clear, turn up the heat and simmer for 4-5 minutes or until thickened and reduced by one-third.
6. Pour the hot syrup over the tarts, making sure to drizzle it down the edges so it soaks through. Roughly chop some extra pistachio nuts and sprinkle over the top of each tart. These are best eaten warm.

Top Stock Trades: BABA, ACB, TAN and IWM
As chaos ensues in Washington and as we wrap up the Senate vote in Georgia, the market is mixed as we head into Thursday. That said, let's look at a few top stock trades.
Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow No. 1: Alibaba (BABA)
Concerns linger on Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) and whether the stock will be delisted by the NYSE, causing shares to slip lower on the day.
The stock previously caught a nice bounce off the $211 area. That bounced fizzled out north of $240 as shares again turned lower. Should Alibaba lose $225, it could open up another test of the $211 area.
There Alibaba finds the December low, 100-week moving average and 161.8% extension of the recent dip.
If that level fails, it could put the $188 to $196 area on the table, where the stock will find VWAP support and the 200-week moving average. The 50-month moving average also comes into play near $183 at the moment.
Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow No. 2: Invesco Solar ETF (TAN)
The Invesco Solar ETF (NYSEARCA:TAN) has been raging higher. It's working on its 10th-consecutive month of gains, and ended Wednesday up nearly 9% alone.
Let's try to keep this one simple, because entering now would force bulls to adapt a very wide risk range. Meaning shares could give up a lot of ground and still be in a healthy state.
If TAN takes out Wednesday's high at $119.27, then look for a push to the 261.8% extension at $123.32.
If it loses today's low at $111.70, then let's see if $108 and the 10-day moving average can support it. However, if not, true trend support could be on the table at the 10-week moving average, followed by the 50-day moving average.
Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow No. 3: Small Caps (IWM)
Obviously, Wednesday has been a wild day with what's happening in Washington D.C.
However, small caps held up well all day. And despite the news, the Russell 2000 ended the day up about 4%.
The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSEARCA:IWM) gapped up and hit new all-time highs on the day. Like the rest of the market though, it has backed off those highs by the close.
Keep an eye on $199. If it loses this mark, a return to the 21-day moving average is likely. Below that, and the $185 to $188 area is on the table.
If it can take out this weeks' high, look for an eventual push to the 161.8% extension.
Over the last three months, the Russell is up 30%. The next best performer is the Nasdaq Composite, up 13%. The Russell is the clear relative strength leader, so keep that in mind moving forward.
Top Trades for Tomorrow No. 4: Aurora Cannabis (ACB)
Aurora Cannabis (NYSE:ACB) and the rest of the cannabis space caught a big boost on Wednesday. However, the stock is struggling to hold onto its gains.
ACB stock gapped up, opening over $11 per share. While it cleared the 50-week moving average initially, it did not close above it. So now, investors must be on the lookout for a test of the $9.50 area.
There it will find the 10-day, 21-day and 200-day moving averages, as well as VWAP support. A break below puts the December low in play near $8.20.
If ACB stock can reclaim the 50-week moving average and take out Wednesday's high, it puts the December high in play at $12.19 — followed by the November high near $14.50.

After three days in a field and 27 miles walked according to my pedometer – I am a *little bit tired still. (*I am exhausted – 27 miles?! That is more than a marathon – admittedly it took me 3 and a half days to complete, but still. Camp Bestival is like a boot camp. But a boot camp with incredible sights everywhere you look, booze drinks, live shows, delicious food and a whole pile of fun thrown in.) I can sum up our weekend in one word – AWESOME – note the capital letters to emphasise the giant degree of awesome.
We had a brilliant time. We managed to get the tent up without failing, which was a big win for us, then spent the rest of the time taking in all that there was to offer – music (The Kaiser Chiefs stole it for me!), crafts, exploring, playing and getting mud caked in the Dingly Dell, theatre, laughing ourselves silly in the comedy tent, lying on sweet scented beds courtesy of Canopy and Stars and eating all manner of delicious grub. And now, pictures. Lots of them. Soz. I took hundreds – it is so irresistibly gorgeous there that you cannot help yourself.
And if all that fun wasn't enough, as usual they rounded it off by exploding the castle.
Disclosure: We are part of the Camp Bestival family bloggers team and as such received free tickets.
Beautiful pictures, you have really captured it so well! And you got the perfect weather for it by the sounds of it!
I know what you mean about the walking – I'm still exhausted after the festival! You got an awesome shot of the fireworks there – well done! It really is a spectacular way to round off Camp Bestival!

Some really lovely pictures, I especially like the night time big wheel one. We had a wonderful time too, roll on Camp Bestival 2016!
I love all your pictures, especially the one of you and your man. I have so many I just don't know where ti start!!
It looks absolutely amazing, I love all your gorgeous photos. I so want to go one year!
It looks amazing! The pictures are beautiful. I had been admiring them (and feeling jealous) all weekend!

It looks utterly AMAZING!!! I want to go next year!
It was our second year at Canp Bestival this year, we were hooked from the start and buy early bird tickets the following week. I'm here to tell you that your photos are AWESOME! They really capture the spirit of the festival. They are the photos I'd love to be able to capture myself. Do you have a photo of the moon? It was so beautiful but I couldn't get a good photo of it.
The moon was INCREDIBLE wasn't it – sadly I couldn't get a good shot of it either – the ones I did take didnt do it justice at all!

Opinion analysis: Court holds that police will generally need a warrant for cellphone location information (Updated)
[NOTE: This post was updated with additional analysis at 1:22 p.m.]
Over 40 years ago, the Supreme Court outlined what has come to be known as the "third-party doctrine" – the idea that the Fourth Amendment does not protect records or information that someone voluntarily shares with someone or something else. Today the Supreme Court ruled that, despite this doctrine, police will generally need to get a warrant to obtain cell-site location information, a record of the cell towers (or other sites) with which a cellphone connected. In an opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts, the five-justice majority pointed to "seismic shifts in digital technology," which have allowed wireless carriers to collect "deeply revealing" information about cellphone owners that should be protected by the Constitution. Roberts characterized the ruling as a narrow one, but it still drew sharp criticism from the dissenting justices, who complained that it is likely to imperil, in the words of Justice Samuel Alito, "many legitimate and valuable investigative practices on which law enforcement has rightfully come to rely."
The issue came to the Supreme Court in the case of Timothy Carpenter, who was convicted and sentenced to almost 116 years in prison for his role in a series of armed robberies in Ohio and Michigan. Law-enforcement officials used cell-site records from his cellphone provider to place him in the vicinity of the crimes, but Carpenter argued that the jury should not hear about those records because the government had not obtained a warrant for them. A federal appeals court upheld his conviction, explaining that the government was not required to seek a warrant because Carpenter could not have expected cellphone records maintained by his service provider to remain private. This morning the Supreme Court reversed that ruling.
In a decision joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, Roberts characterized the case as involving two, potentially conflicting lines of the Supreme Court's precedent. The first involves whether someone like Carpenter can expect to have his whereabouts kept private. Roberts acknowledged that in some of its decisions predating the digital era, the court had ruled that a driver should not expect his movements on public roads to be kept private. But, Roberts stressed, times have changed. People would not expect police to track their every movement over long periods of time, but that is exactly what the cell-site location records here do. Indeed, Roberts suggested, because people carry their phones virtually everywhere with them, cell-site location records provide the government with "near perfect surveillance, as if it had attached an ankle monitor to the phone's user" – not only going forward but also going back up to five years.
The second line of precedent, Roberts continued, is the third-party doctrine. But this is not exactly, Roberts emphasized, a "garden-variety request for information from a third party" because of the "seismic shifts in digital technology that made possible the tracking of not only Carpenter's location but also everyone else's, not for a short period but for years and years." When the Supreme Court decided the cases establishing the doctrine, he explained, it was dealing with relatively "limited types of personal information"; no one could have envisioned that cellphones would be so ubiquitous and provide so much information about their users for so long. And, he added, because cellphones are such a pervasive part of life "that carrying one is indispensable to participation in modern society," it can't really be said that a cellphone user is voluntarily sharing information about his location with his carrier – another rationale for the third-party doctrine. Because of the "unique nature" of cell-site location information, Roberts concluded, the third-party doctrine does not apply, and the acquisition of the cell-site location records was a search within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment, for which the government would generally have to obtain a warrant.
Roberts emphasized that today's ruling "is a narrow one" that applies only to historical cell-site location records. He took pains to point out that the ruling did not "express a view on" other privacy issues, such as obtaining cell-site location records in real time, or getting information about all of the phones that connected to a particular tower at a particular time. He acknowledged that law-enforcement officials might sometimes still be able to obtain cell-site location records without a warrant – for example, to deal with emergencies such as "bomb threats, active shootings, and child abductions." Finally, in a footnote, he left open the possibility that law-enforcement officials might not need a warrant to obtain cell-site location records for a shorter period of time than the seven days at issue in Carpenter's case. But what law-enforcement officials do not have, he wrote in closing, is "unrestricted access to a wireless carrier's database of" cell-site location information.
Justice Anthony Kennedy dissented from today's ruling, in an opinion that was joined by Alito and Justice Clarence Thomas. Kennedy conceded that "the Cyber Age has vast potential both to expand and restrict individual freedoms in dimensions not contemplated in earlier times." But he rejected the idea that cell-site location information should be treated any differently than other kinds of business records that can be obtained under the third-party doctrine: Carpenter should not have had any expectation of privacy in his records because he doesn't own or control them. In its holding to the contrary, Kennedy lamented, the Supreme Court has disconnected its Fourth Amendment doctrine from its focus on property rights, creating "an unprincipled and unworkable line between cell-site records on the one hand and financial and telephonic records on the other." As a result, Kennedy posited, police "can acquire a record of every credit card purchase and phone call a person makes over months or years without upsetting a legitimate expectation of privacy," but they need a warrant to get a week's worth of cell-site records "in order to determine whether a person was within several hundred city blocks of a crime scene."
Alito filed a lengthy dissent, joined by Thomas, in which he stressed that, as originally understood, the Fourth Amendment would not have applied at all to the methods that law-enforcement officials use to obtain documents. Alito predicted that today's ruling will lead to one of two outcomes, both of which he regarded as undesirable: Either the decision will apply broadly to all kinds of documents containing personal information, or the court will have to admit that the ruling is "subject to all sorts of qualifications and limitations that have not yet been discovered," creating "a crazy quilt of the Fourth Amendment." Alito suggested that the court should have instead deferred to Congress' judgment, in legislation known as the Stored Communications Act, that police do not need a warrant in cases like Carpenter's. And he warned ominously that "some of the greatest threats to individual privacy may come" not from the government, but instead from "powerful private companies that collect and sometimes misuse vast quantities of data about the lives of ordinary Americans." "If today's decision encourages the public to think that this Court can protect them from this looming threat to their privacy," Alito concluded, "the decision will mislead as well as disrupt."
In addition to joining Alito's dissent, Thomas also wrote alone to suggest that the court should reconsider its use of the "reasonable expectation of privacy" test, complaining that it "has no basis in the text or history of the Fourth Amendment." But the most interesting separate dissent of the day came from Justice Neil Gorsuch, who specifically agreed with what he described as the majority's "implicit but unmistakable conclusion that the rationale" for the third-party doctrine is wrong. Gorsuch would scrap both the third-party doctrine and the "reasonable expectation of privacy" test and focus instead on whether someone has a property interest (even if not a complete one) in the records at issue. But here, he pointed out, the court does not have any information on this question, because Carpenter didn't make this argument in the lower courts.
Citing Justice Felix Frankfurter, Roberts observed that, "when considering new innovations," the Supreme Court should "tread carefully" "to ensure that we do not embarrass the future." Today's ruling gives significant Fourth Amendment protection to cell-site location information, but it sheds less light on how or whether the Fourth Amendment protects other types of information in the digital era. To the extent that they haven't already, those issues are likely to surface in the lower courts soon and will almost certainly make their way to the Supreme Court as well.

Trust. It's an issue we all deal with at one point or another. Many times we focus on what or who we've learned not to trust; such as, ISIS, the government, our finances, liars, traitors, the list can go on and on.
Our founding fathers did well to adopt "In God we trust" as our motto. That very action has blessed us numerous times over the years. Yet, now we see a trend occuring in recent and former generations, who exalt self as the sole reason for success. Sure, we have a part in how "successful" we are in life, but how can an individual be termed as a success when he's driven by greed, envy, and selfish ambition? Where does his trust lie?
In this "selfie" age we truly must recognize that exalting one's image and character is becoming the norm.
A terrible accident happens, financial ruin is inevitable, war strikes, or innocent victims are gunned down.
It seems that we're hearing or reading about it everyday.
We receive more bad news or another trial bombards us.
Who then can we trust?
Can we truly trust self, our money, or the government?
Even when the New York Times boldly declared, "God's Not Fixing This!", did they give us an option of hope. Can they offer us a reliable source to truly trust?
When we open the Bible it is full of reasons to trust in God, completely and wholeheartedly!
Wow! He would remain faithful, he would face death, and through it all he CHOSE to TRUST God!
What circumstances or struggles are leading you to make the same decision? It's a choice.
It's a commitment of the heart to decide to Trust in Him at ALL times.

The Rave Revolution – Tbilisi's Story
Inger Bult May 20, 2020
Ever since young people began organizing illegal rave parties in the 1990s, it has been debated whether "raving" has an actual political potential or rather, function as a hedonistic machine of desire. In Georgia, the small post-Soviet republic in the Caucasian mountains, there is no doubt. Here people don't dance just for fun. In Georgia, raving is also a political act.
These days we recall the two year anniversary of the rave revolution which took place in Georgia's capital Tbilisi. On the night of May 12, two of the city's (and Europe's) most popular and reputable techno clubs were raided and shut down in a brutal armed police action to crack down on what authorities referred to as illegal drug sales. Just hours later, thousands of rave enthusiasts spontaneously took to the streets in what was to be a three-day demonstration against the government's illegitimate attempts to crack down on the liberal ideas, values and lifestyles that the clubs represent. The "ravers" who find their freedom in the dark clubs on weekends, poured into the city centre, built a techno scene in front of parliament and danced to the slogan "We dance together, we fight together".
There were many different reasons why the ravers participated in the rave revolution. For some, it was simply a protest against the violation of their right to dance. For others, it was about protecting human rights, democratic values and the principle of individual freedom. In Georgia, where the Orthodox Church uses its moral authority to lead a heterosexist crusade against the queer community, the clubs serve as one of the few places where one can – safely and openly – express non-heteronormative sexual and gender identities. The techno clubs are a key mobilizer for LGBTQ-activism in their demand for human rights and sexual citizenship. The clubs also have an important position in the fight for a more humane drug policy. After the rave revolution, we have seen a gradual softening of a zero-tolerance policy that previously would send young people for years into prison for possession of tiny doses of drugs.
In essence, the rave revolution is maybe first and foremost a struggle for the right to rule over your own body?
Dance Or Die is a short film about the rave revolution and the political significance of dance in Georgia. It is also a tribute to the Georgian people ́s uncompromising willingness to create social and political change. Let it inspire to more raving and increased political awareness.
The movie is directed and edited by Naja Orashvili, and is written by Giorgi Kikonishvili.
We also recommend this track which was made by the Georgian artists Luka Metreveli "L8" And Irakli Berikashvili "Berika" as a direct response to the raids and the following events.

The Southeastern Regional Series (SRS) was five full weekends made up of 75-minute crits on Saturdays and road races on Sundays. The 706 Project team battled raging heat, spitting rain, crashes and flat tires, but it was a successful race series for this Raleigh bicycles-riding team.
The first weekend took place in Albany, Georgia. The crit was aggressive, with a seven-man break away forming with only 20 minutes left to race. 706 Project rider Shawn Gravois took the win. The 90-mile road race took place on a pan flat with no wind. Gravois and teammate Winston David tried to break from the field, but with little luck. The race finished in a bunch sprint with 706 Project's Brendan Cornett in sixth and David in eighth place.
The next race brought the riders to Montgomery, Alabama, welcoming them with a hilly and challenging crit. The ride ended in a sprint, leaving David in third place. David came back bright and early Sunday morning, ready to continue his successful weekend. With only 20 miles to go on the road race, David and teammate Andy Scarano broke away with four others. rode to the win on the flat course, moving him to third place overall in the SRS.
Asheville, North Carolina met the riders with the road race first, a 65-mile ride with two three-mile climbs. Scarano, Cornett and fellow 706 Project racer Dan Holt were swept up in a 20-rider break, resulting in a victory and the King of the Mountain (KOM) lead for Scarano. Gravois took ninth and David finished in 10th place. David finished in seventh place in the next day's technical crit, taking the overall lead in the SRS.
The next weekend's crit was on a hilly four-turn course in Knoxville, Tennessee. Gravois was in the initial break of 10 riders, but the break was caught right at the end of the race. David took seventh place. The next day's road race was on winding, wet roads with scattered crashes, but the 706 Project boys stayed upright to help Scarano increase his KOM lead. David and teammate Ryan Sullivan broke away with two others with only about 30 miles to go. In the final 200 meters, David sprinted up the last hill to take the win and extend his SRS lead.
The final weekend of the SRS took place in Greenville, South Carolina. The 706 Project made a lot of moves on the fast and technical course, but the Hincapie Sportswear Development team dominated the race. David finished in 13th, sealing the SRS win and the Sprinter's Jersey! The road race took place on a super hilly course and the Hincapie team dominated with an early break once again. Sullivan was in the break, but flatted out of the race. David finished in 15th place and Scarano took 20th, winning the KOM competition.
