Leading IP Experts Gather at Texas A&M Law to Examine 25 Years of WTO TRIPS Agreement
Earlier this spring, the Center for Law and Intellectual Property at Texas A&M University School of Law devoted its annual symposium to commemorating the silver anniversary of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Held on March 29-30, the "TRIPS Agreement at 25" Symposium brought together leading international intellectual property experts to critically examine the past two and a half decades of developments surrounding the world's predominant intellectual property agreement.
The event also explored the proliferation of bilateral, regional and plurilateral trade agreements, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement and the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, as well as the future of the international intellectual property regime.
"TRIPS Agreement at 25" Symposium at Texas A&M Law brought together leading international intellectual property experts from around the world
Attracting the who's who of the international intellectual property community, the symposium featured presentations from leading scholars from Harvard, NYU, Duke, Penn, Georgetown and Emory law schools. The event also gathered participants from different parts of the world, including Canada, Finland, India, Japan, Mexico and Switzerland.
Antony Taubman of the WTO looked back on the development of the TRIPS Agreement
Antony Taubman, the director of the WTO Intellectual Property, Government Procurement and Competition Division, served as the symposium's luncheon speaker. He delivered an insightful and highly provocative presentation on "six impossible things" about the TRIPS Agreement.
Also participating in the event were Maria Strong, the Deputy Director of Policy and International Affairs of the U.S. Copyright Office (now the Associate Register of Copyrights); Professor Keith Maskus of the University of Colorado Boulder, the former chief economist of the U.S. State Department; and Todd Reves (Texas Wesleyan University School of Law '98), an attorney-advisor at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the former regional intellectual property right attaché for Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean at the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Texas A&M Law Professors Brian Holland, Srividhya Ragavan, Saurabh Vishnubhakat and Peter Yu with Antony Taubman of the WTO, Maria Strong of the U.S. Copyright Office, and Megan Hoyt and Todd Reves of the USPTO
"The spring symposium has always been a major highlight of our intellectual property law program," said Professor Peter K. Yu, who organized the symposium and directs the Center for Law and Intellectual Property at Texas A&M University School of Law. "This annual event not only provides a valuable forum for exploring timely topics that are important to the intellectual property field, but also enables our students to have face-to-face interactions with intellectual property thought leaders from around the world."
Professor Yu with Professors Rochelle Dreyfuss (NYU), Jerome Reichman (Duke), Ruth Okediji (Harvard), Margo Bagley (Emory) and Olufunmilayo Arewa (Temple)
"TRIPS at 25 was a great opportunity for scholars to discuss the future of the trade regime, especially from an intellectual property perspective," concurred Professor Srividhya Ragavan, a noted patent and trade law expert at Texas A&M University School of Law. "The WTO's global patent prescription has helped demarcate a class of society that can access life-saving medication from those that cannot. TRIPS has morphed access to medicine from a poor country problem into a developed country issue."

Donald Trump has stoked the worst parts of humanity to achieve his self-serving goals and those of his billionaire cadre. It pains me in my heart and soul that a racist, sexist, misogynistic, climate change denying, anti-education, anti-LGBTQ, hating administration is in place and I WILL NOT stand idly by!

Christmas at Woodfin Suites
When Woodfin Suites fired its immigrant workers, was it obeying the law or dodging a living-wage ordinance?
By David Bacon

David Bacon
Woodfin Suites housekeepers protest their pre-Christmas firing.
On a rainy December day in Emeryville, organizers distributed umbrellas to a small crowd chanting and yelling at cars in front of the Woodfin Suites Hotel. Half the picketers were church people, community activists, or union folks — the sort who turn out for many demonstrations, rain or shine. The other half had just gotten off work. Some held animated discussions as they walked up and down the wet sidewalk in their gray uniforms. But most just looked tired at the end of another long day.
Under one umbrella, Luz Dominguez, a Mexican woman in her forties, huddled against another housekeeper from the towering hotel looming above them. Dominguez and her colleagues were already dreading the next day, when they'd once again put on their uniforms and make the trek to Emeryville to clean hotel rooms. "I feel really exhausted at the end of my shift," she said with a sigh. "When I get home, I have no energy for my family. All I do is worry about what the next day's work will be like — if the rooms will be the same, or even more dirty."
You wouldn't think anyone would want to keep a job that leaves her feeling that drained, but Dominguez and twenty co-workers have been fighting for exactly that all fall and winter. Their pre-Christmas picket line was just their latest effort to keep the hotel from firing them. Their jobs are worth keeping partly because of a new ordinance intended to lighten the workload that leaves them exhausted each day. But just as the law seemed to promise the workers more time and money for themselves and their families, the women have found themselves at the center of a national firestorm over immigration.
On December 15, a few days after the picket line, hotel managers sent Dominguez and her friends home for good. The workers were just 21 of the thousands of people fired, and in some cases deported, in the Bush administration's fall offensive to root undocumented workers out of workplaces. A November action targeted workers at the largest industrial laundry in the United States. In December raids at six Swift meatpacking plants, more than 1,300 laborers were detained and deported.
The firings and deportations did not directly affect most of the twelve million people now living in the United States without immigration papers. But they did make a political point. In a Washington press conference, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff told reporters that such enforcement efforts highlight the need for "stronger border security, effective interior enforcement, and a temporary-worker program.'' He took the opportunity to promote the president's proposed guest-worker program, which stalled in Congress last year.
But labor and immigrant-rights activists see another motive. They say the firings targeted workplaces where people were organizing unions, trying to enforce labor-protection laws, fighting to improve wages or benefits, or otherwise standing up for their rights.
Emeryville's Woodfin Suites has become a poster child for these accusations.
In November 2005, Emeryville voters passed a worker-protection ordinance known as Measure C. The measure was the brainchild of the East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy, a worker advocacy group that represents a new kind of thinking in labor. EBASE, as it is known, brings together union and community activists in a permanent coalition. Its young organizers are labor's shock troops, turning out for demonstrations, exposing worker abuse, and campaigning for living wages throughout the East Bay.
It was no accident that the group set its sights on Emeryville, a small town originally carved out as a tax-free haven for big factory owners. Those plants are long gone, and in their wake, the city at the foot of the Bay Bridge toll plaza has reinvented itself as a home for hotels, malls, and loft apartments — businesses that all rely upon immigrant labor.
"The old guard was very business-friendly and gave the developers whatever they wanted," said city council member and lawyer John Fricke, who sees himself as part of the new Emeryville. "But the people who came to live in the new lofts and apartments are young people priced out of San Francisco. They have a pretty supportive attitude toward workers and immigrants."
EBASE organizers looked at these new demographics and predicted that Emeryville would take to heart the plight of its primarily immigrant hotel workers. They collected signatures for a living-wage ordinance that would mandate a $9 hourly minimum, and an $11 average, in each of Emeryville's four hotels. Any housekeeper required to clean more than five thousand square feet in an eight-hour shift would earn time and a half.
The city's hotels — Holiday Inn, Marriott Courtyard, Sheraton Four Points, and Woodfin Suites — all opposed the ordinance. Under the name of the Committee to Keep Tax Dollars in Emeryville, they spent $115,610 for an election in which only 2,296 people voted. The committee spent $110 for each "no" vote cast, but the ordinance prevailed 1,245 to 1,051. Afterward, the hotels tried but failed to prevent the measure's implementation with a court challenge.
Over the following spring and summer, EBASE organizers met with workers at the four hotels and explained the law's new requirements. Marcela Melquiades, who had been cleaning rooms at Woodfin Suites for two years, recalled what life was like before Measure C. "The workload was very heavy," she said. "I'd be really tired at the end of the shift. I'd go to the bathroom right away and pour hot water on my hands. I still had to go home, make dinner for the kids, clean the house, get my uniform ready for the next day, get up early in the morning. It was exhausting."

Moscow actively works on start treaty to be signed at Putin-Bush summit
Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov deems the statements, that the START Treaty to be signed during the Putin-Bush summit meeting is only decorative, are not serious. Ivanov said as much Friday to newsmen in Moscow. The foreign minister noted that during the on-going Russo-American negotiations a treaty was drafted to fix the number of warheads to be reached within the next ten years, a RIA Novosti correspondent said. According to the minister, at issue are 1,700-2,200 warheads, which is almost 50 percent less than under the START-I Treaty. "It is not sensible to talk about any decorative treaties," stressed Ivanov. "It will be a serious document symbolising a serious step toward control over nuclear arms," said the minister. He remarked that this will be "the first significant document to be signed by the US administration." The foreign minister announced that "preparations for the May summit in Moscow are in full swing." Plans call for adopting "a serious package of bilateral documents of vital importance for Russo-American relations and the entire world," Ivanov remarked. In his words, "the documents are ready for the most part to be signed."

The non-profit organisation Banco Alimentare has sealed an agreement with Italy's large-scale distribution leader Number 1 to make logistics more efficient, cut transport costs and increase volumes of food distributed in the charity structures the NGO manages. Reported in an article published by GIFT media partner Distribuzione Moderna, the partnership envisages that the company will supply transportation services of food surpluses donated by institutions (such as the European Union), food and agriculture companies, mass market distribution, as well as restaurants to the network of Banco Alimentare's 8,818 structures assisting nearly 1.8 million poor people throughout Italy. In 2012 BA recovered 61,552 tonnes of food, much of which came from the EU through the National Agency for Agricultural Distribution.

Serenus
Born: about 300 in Antinoupolis, Egypt
Died: about 360
Very little is known of Serenus's life. In fact the article [4] claims that Serenus was born in Antissa but this has been shown by more recent historians of mathematics to be based on an error. That he was born in Antinoupolis is confirmed from two sources. The information has been added to one of the manuscripts of his works by at a later stage but we have no reason to doubt the authority of the addition. It can also be deduced from a copy of the second treatise of Serenus which has survived.
Serenus was a commentator on the texts of others but, unlike some commentators, he was a fine mathematician in his own right. He wrote two original mathematical works which show that he was indeed a mathematician of considerable ability.
The two treatises by Serenus are On the Section of a Cylinder and On the Section of a Cone both of which have survived. In the preface to the first of these Serenus gives his reasons for writing the work [2]:-
... many persons who were students of geometry were under the erroneous impression that the oblique section of a cylinder was different from the oblique section of a cone known as an ellipse, whereas it is of course the same curve.
The work consists of 33 propositions. Typical of these are the following two problems.
(i) Suppose we are given a cone and an ellipse E on the cone. Serenus shows how to find the cylinder which is cut in the ellipse E.
(ii) Given a cone, find a cylinder so that when both are cut by the same plane the sections of the cuts form similar ellipses.
The final five propositions, involving rays of light, are designed to support his friend Peithon who wrote a tract giving what he considered a better definition of parallels to that given by Euclid. It appears that Peithon's work treated as a bit of a joke and Serenus tries to in these propositions to show that Peithon's ideas are mathematically sound. Peithon [1]:-
... had defined parallels to be such lines as are cast on a wall or a roof by a pillar with a light behind it.
As Heiberg comments in [3], even though Greek geometry was in decline by this time mathematicians were sufficiently knowledgeable to find this definition funny.
In the first 57 propositions in On the Section of a Cone Serenus examined triangular sections of right and scalene cones made by planes passing through the vertex. He also considered some problems relating to maximising areas. The remaining 12 propositions deal with the volumes of right cones given its height, its base, and the area of a triangular section through its axis.
Serenus wrote a commentary on Apollonius's Conics unfortunately is lost, except for a fragment preserved by Theon of Smyrna. That he wrote such a work is confirmed by Serenus in his own writings. The result described by Theon of Smyrna is introduced with the words (see for example [1]):-
From Serenus the philosopher out of the lemmas.
The result is that if a number of angles are subtended at points on a diameter of a circle so that the arcs of the circle subtended by the angles are all equal, then the closer to the centre of the circle is the point on the diameter, the greater is the angle.

One of the key needs identified by the European Society of Cardiology is the training of future leaders in arrhythmia management and research. For this purpose, a new educational programme entitled "Diploma of Advanced Studies in Cardiac Arrhythmia Management" (DAS-CAM) has been established. This initiative is a joint collaboration between Maastricht University Medical Center (MUMC+), European Heart Academy (EHA) and the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA), a long-standing provider of postgraduate education in arrhythmias.
This unique course will train future leaders in arrhythmology to deliver state-of the-art cardiovascular services in the next decade and beyond. The programme brings together renowned experts, who will cover not only clinical cardiac electrophysiology and device technology, but also basic arrhythmogenesis and clinical epidemiology. Furthermore, topics like how to manage an arrhythmia unit and how to organize research and foster innovation will be included. Additionally, the societal impact and health economics of arrhythmias will be addressed. Thus, participants will acquire competences concerning content as well as context of cardiac arrhythmias.
The course consists of eight modules over 2 years, including a preparatory phase, an intensive in-person training, and an evaluation phase. The format of the course comprises small-group teaching, lectures, hands-on training, team projects and interaction with European leaders in their field.
Module 3 - How to organize an arrhythmia unit?
Tuition fee is € 2,500 per annum for a total of € 5,000 per programme. Travel, accommodation and other expenses accrued during the course will be covered by the participants.
Questions about the DAS-CAM programme?

This is a four years old article. I am rewriting it to include fixed mindset, the distinction from Carol Dweck's book, Mindset.
When the mind takes over your perception you see what your mind wants to see.
We have all experienced how the mind tricks us into believing that something other than what's happening is happening.
When you are dizzy, sea-sick or drunk: the room seems to be spinning. When someone tells you skinny is good, you start liking skinny. When someone tells you you are ugly, you start seeing ugly.
...this is why Japanese soldiers could not see, till the end, that they were beaten.
More than that: Japanese soldiers enlisted into the Japanese navy, but never considered that they should learn to swim: the option that their vessel would sink never occurred to them: after all their emperor was invincible. They would not even make any moves to get a life preserver when they were under attack: their mind told them that nothing can, nothing could happen to them... and they died by drowning... victims of the mind hiding reality from them.
You are that Japanese soldier, you just don't know it.

About a month ago I read an article that had a list of 20 books that Charlie Munger recommends.
I measured Charlie Munger's overall intelligence at 150. And decided that he probably knows something that I don't. Both Warren Buffet and Bill Gates say that he is the smartest person they know... so who am I to not want to learn from him.
But instead of learning from what he says (you'll see why later in this article), I decided to learn from where he learns from.
So I promptly ordered four of the books on his book list, and started to read.

If I know you well, your relationship to life is mainly through understanding. Which you either have or not.
When you do, you are happy, even though you are just as unsuccessful living well, being fulfilled as you were before.
When you hear something, when you see something, you try to understand it. When people do something, stupid, smart, hurtful, you want to understand why they did it. Don't you?
When you read, you try to understand it.
People who are successful, high achievers, they don't try to understand, they may not understand at all.

Helping pet owners weather the storm
Pullman pet groomers start nonprofit to help animal lovers with veterinary expenses
By Anthony Kuipers, Daily News staff writer
In summer 2018, Zelda's Pet Grooming owners Dani and Melanie Voorhees got a panicked call from a woman who owned a pit bull named Storm.
Storm suffered a heat stroke and needed to be rushed to the hospital, but the dog's owener could not afford the vet's services. So, Dani and Melanie Voorhees spoke to the veterinarian and paid enough money to get Storm through the night in what was likely a life-or-death scenario for the pup.
"She wasn't supposed to make it," Melanie said of the pit bull.
The situation got the Pullman business owners thinking.
Melanie Voorhees said there are too few resources available for people who cannot afford to take care of a sick or injured pet.
In June, they launched "Saving for a Storm," a nonprofit to help pay for a pet's medical expenses. Zelda's Pet Grooming will also spay, neuter and shelter homeless pets waiting for adoption when there is no room at local Humane Society facilities.
Their donations have so far helped one dog get medical treatment, and their temporary housing service has helped shelter nine cats.
Melanie Voorhees said they are ready to answer the call in the middle of the night to help a pet owner pay for an emergency if needed.
"We can rush over there and help on the spot," she said.
However, to take on this responsibility, Melanie Voorhees said they need some help from the public in the form of donations.
"The biggest issue for us has been funding," she said.
To spread the word about Saving for a Storm, they have hosted fundraisers and an open house at Zelda's, as well as created a membership program. Despite their shortage of funds, Melanie Voorhees said they were able to scrounge up enough money to help a local dog that was suffering from a blockage earlier this year.
Melanie Voorhees said they understand how difficult it is for pet owners to choose between their pet's health or their own financial situation.
When their own dog, Kiki, had to be taken to the vet because of heart issues, the owners sat on the same bench they did when they were awaiting Storm's operation. Melanie Voorhees said they knew how lucky they are to not have to make that choice.
Storm, at age 4, is still alive and well. The previous owner, however, could not take care of her, so she gave her to Dani and Melanie.

Macy's, Inc. Same-Store Sales up 2.5% in October
Company Raises Second-Half 2010 Sales and Earnings Guidance and Reports the Repurchase of an Additional $500 Million of Debt in the Third Quarter
CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Macy's, Inc. (NYSE:M) today reported total sales of $1.807 billion for the four weeks ended Oct. 30, 2010, an increase of 6.8 percent compared with total sales of $1.693 billion in the four weeks ended Oct. 31, 2009. On a same-store basis, Macy's, Inc. sales were up 2.5 percent in October.
"While we experienced some softness in sales early in October given the unseasonably warm weather, we ended the month with a strong trend going into the holiday selling season. Customers have reacted positively to the launch of our unique holiday gift-giving merchandise and newness in fashion. We also launched our latest exclusive brand relationship with Kenneth Cole Reaction men's sportswear, now sold only at Macy's. Overall, we are pleased with our sales performance in the third quarter and the continued results of major strategies including our My Macy's localization initiative. Bloomingdale's sales continued to be strong in October and the third quarter," said Terry J. Lundgren, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Macy's, Inc. "Our repurchase of another $500 million of debt in the third quarter reflects our strong cash position, as well as our confidence about the strength of the business going forward."
For the third quarter of 2010, the company's total sales were $5.624 billion, an increase of 6.6 percent compared with total sales of $5.277 billion in the same 13-week period last year. On a same-store basis, Macy's, Inc.'s third-quarter sales were up 3.9 percent.
For the year to date, Macy's, Inc. sales totaled $16.735 billion, up 7.0 percent from total sales of $15.640 billion in the first 39 weeks of 2009. On a same-store basis, Macy's, Inc.'s year-to-date sales were up 4.7 percent.
Online sales (macys.com and bloomingdales.com combined) were up 19.7 percent in October, 24.0 percent in the third quarter and 28.5 percent in 2010 year-to-date. Online sales positively affected the company's same-store sales by 0.8 percentage points in the third quarter and 0.7 percentage points in the year to date. Online sales are included in the same-store sales calculation for Macy's, Inc.
Updated Guidance
The company's guidance is for same-store sales in the fourth quarter of 2010 to be up 3 percent to 4 percent. This translates to same-store sales for the second half of 2010 to be up 3.3 percent to 4 percent, compared with previous guidance (provided in August 2010) of up 3 percent to 3.5 percent.
Based on stronger sales expectations, Macy's, Inc. is increasing its earnings guidance for the second half of 2010 to $1.50 to $1.55 per diluted share, excluding expenses associated with the early retirement of debt in the third quarter. This compares with previous guidance (provided in August 2010) of $1.45 to $1.50 per diluted share for the second half of 2010.
Debt Repurchase
The company today also reported it used excess cash to repurchase $500 million face value of Senior Notes and Debentures in the third quarter. The repurchases, which were made in the open market, included debt with maturity dates from 2011 through 2016. (For a breakdown of repurchase by title of security, visit www.macysinc.com/investors/financialinformation.)
Total cost of the repurchases was approximately $541 million, including expenses related to the transactions. As a result of this repurchase, Macy's, Inc. has booked approximately $39 million (approximately $24 million after tax; 6 cents per diluted share) of expense associated with the early retirement of debt in the third quarter of 2010 in interest expense. This will be partially offset by approximately $7 million in reduced net interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2010. In addition, the company expects net interest expense to be reduced by approximately $26 million in fiscal 2011 as a result of repurchases made in the third quarter.
In total, the company has reduced its debt by more than $1.2 billion in fiscal 2010. The reduction includes $500 million in debt repurchased in each of the first and third quarters, as well as $150 million in Senior Debentures retired at maturity on November 1, 2010, and $76 million in Senior Notes retired at maturity on June 1, 2010.

AstraZeneca does not agree to divert vaccines from UK to Europe
Europe left short by pharmaceutical company's delay in delivering shots to member states

AstraZeneca did not concede to an EU demand on Tuesday to divert Covid-19 vaccine doses from the UK to Europe to make up for a shortfall in deliveries.
The request came after the UK-headquartered pharmaceutical company unexpectedly announced last week that it would cut vaccine supplies to Europe because of production issues.
Europe had planned to vaccinate up to 70 per cent of adults by August but the campaign is now in doubt.
Boris Johnson says 'vaccine-busting' coronavirus variants may prompt tougher quarantine rules
UK to offer genomics expertise to other countries
The fresh setback added to woes brought on by Pfizer/BioNTech's decision to delay shipments for the next few weeks because of work to increase production capacity at a key Belgian plant.
EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said on Tuesday the bloc "means business" about getting its fair share of vaccines after British officials feared the EU could restrict exports of vaccines manufactured in Europe.
EU officials denied they would restrict vaccine exports but proposed a new "transparency mechanism" to ensure manufacturers met their contractual obligations to the EU.
Under the scheme, the companies would be required to notify authorities of any vaccine exports outside the EU, amid concern pharmaceutical groups might be selling the earmarked doses to higher bidders outside the bloc.
The European Commission had asked for answers from both AstraZeneca and Pfizer about the delays.
One EU official involved in the talks told Reuters the EU explicitly asked AstraZeneca whether it could divert to the bloc doses produced in Britain, at least through March.
But the company did not answer these questions, the official said.
The UK government said there would be no change to the UK's vaccination campaign because of AstraZeneca's decision to reduce deliveries to the continent.
UK Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi warned the EU against adopting "the dead end of vaccine nationalism", while Health Minister Matt Hancock said "protectionism is not the right approach in the middle of the pandemic" when asked about the EU potentially restricting exports.
The extraordinary row came as two German newspaper reports suggested the German government had concerns over the effectiveness of AstraZeneca's vaccine.
The Handelsblatt economic newspaper reported that Berlin estimated the efficacy of the drug among over-65s to be only 8 per cent.
The Bild newspaper reported that the German government did not expect the vaccine to be approved for use among the elderly.
Germany's health ministry was forced to deny that government officials had briefed the newspapers, saying there was no evidence supporting the lower efficacy claim.
It said the 8 per cent figure potentially referred to the number of people in the study between 56 and 69 years old.
AstraZeneca said the newspaper reports were "completely incorrect".
"Reports that the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine efficacy is as low as 8 per cent in adults over 65 years are completely incorrect," a spokesman said.
"In November, we published data in The Lancet demonstrating that older adults showed strong immune responses to the vaccine, with 100 per cent of older adults generating spike-specific antibodies after the second dose."
Gregor Waschinski, who wrote the Handelsblatt piece, cited unnamed sources within the German government as the basis for the report. He admitted on Twitter that he had not seen data supporting the 8 per cent efficacy claim.
7/I understand that some would like to see the story substantiated with actual data. However, this is not an academic preprint but a sourced piece of (political) reporting that tries to shed light on the decision making processes and the obstacles in the race for a Covid vaccine.
— Gregor Waschinski (@washingtonski) January 25, 2021
Why are the EU and AstraZeneca in disagreement?
UK-headquartered AstraZeneca said "reduced yields at a manufacturing site within our European supply chain" now meant the number of initial doses for EU member states would be lower than planned.
Officials have not confirmed the extent of the shortfall but Reuters reported that deliveries would be reduced to 31 million – a cut of 60 per cent – in the first quarter of this year.
Vials of a Covid-19 vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford move along a conveyor on the production line. Bloomberg
The EU warned it could tighten export controls on the vaccine amid the shortfall, potentially jeopardising the UK's vaccine supply which is shipped from Europe.
EU threatens strict controls of vaccine exports
The European Commission proposed requiring drug makers to flag exports of coronavirus vaccines in advance under a new "transparency mechanism".
Ms von der Leyen said pharmaceutical companies must deliver on their contractual agreements with the bloc.
"Europe invested billions to help develop the world's first Covid-19 vaccines," she told the World Economic Forum.
"And now, the companies must deliver. They must honour their obligations."
In a sign of concern that pharmaceutical groups might be selling the earmarked doses to higher bidders outside the bloc, the EU is making a move to require the companies to notify authorities of any exports to outside the bloc.
German Health Minister Jens Spahn backed a proposal on export limits, arguing that the continent should have its "fair share" of doses.
"I can understand that there are production problems but then it must affect everyone in the same way," he said. "This is not about Europe first but about Europe's fair share."
UK ministers fear that deliveries of vaccines could be delayed by extra paperwork and that the EU could try to stop doses being delayed to non-EU countries, The Telegraph reported.
Their fears were compounded after an EU official said the bloc would "take any action required to protect its citizens".
UK Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi warned the EU against engaging in "vaccine nationalism" as he said Britain is confident of hitting a mid-February target to inoculate the majority of its most vulnerable citizens despite the row.
"I have every confidence we will get our deliveries as scheduled," he told LBC Radio. "Vaccine nationalism is the wrong way to go."
With a string of bad news delaying a return to normality, EU governments are eager to dodge the blame. Last week, a group of leaders criticised the bloc's drugs regulator over a perceived slow approval process, while others have accused the commission of failing to secure sufficient doses early enough on behalf of member states
"We could deliver many more vaccines, we just don't have access to them," Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis told the World Economic Forum on Monday.

Hogg Foundation Awards $2.1 Million in 2020 Census Grants
Disability Rights Texas Receives Grant to Reach People with Disabilities
AUSTIN, Texas–The Hogg Foundation for Mental Health recently announced that it has awarded $2.1 million for the Texas Communities Count initiative. The initiative supports complete count efforts in Texas for the 2020 U.S. Census. The primary focus is to aid collaborative approaches that will reach traditionally hard-to-count (HTC) populations, communities and geographic areas throughout the state. The goal is to encourage participation in the 2020 Census so that every person in Texas is counted.
Twenty-eight Texas organizations were awarded funds to support any of the following: (1) direct, local, on-the-ground complete count efforts; (2) regionally coordinated complete count efforts; or (3) statewide coordination of these local efforts. Award amounts range from $6,900 to $125,000 depending on the geographical scope and scale of proposed projects. All awardees have laid out strategies that focus on HTC populations and communities.
One of the HTC populations includes people with disablities. Disability Rights Texas is pleased to be the recipient of one of the HOGG Foundation Grants, enabling the agency to increase its outreach efforts to this group.
The local and regional grant projects (listed below) include organizations who operate affiliates in multiple regions of the state, or whose proposed projects encompass multiple regions. All told, 58 of the 254 counties in Texas will be touched in some way by the work of these grantees. In addition, the six grants awarded for statewide coordination (listed below) will further ensure that all of Texas is impacted in one way or another by this initiative.
The 2020 Texas Communities Count grantees are:
City of Corsicana (Corsicana)
City of Plainview (Plainview)
City of Socorro (Socorro)
Community Action Corporation of South Texas (Alice)
Community Foundations of Texas (Dallas)
Deep East Texas Council of Governments (Jasper)
El Paso Coalition for the Homeless (El Paso)
Galveston County Food Bank (Texas City)
Housing Authority of the City of Austin (Austin)
International Rescue Committee – Abilene(Abilene)
International Rescue Committee – Dallas (Dallas)
McCabe Roberts Avenue United Methodist Church (Beaumont)
Montrose Center (Houston)
Project Vida Health Center (El Paso)
Rural Economic Assistance League, Inc. (Alice)
Rio Grande Council of Governments (El Paso)
Rio Grande Valley Equal Voice Network (Brownsville)
Southwest Area Regional Transit (Uvalde)
Tarleton State University (Stephenville)
Texas Association of Community Development Corporations (Austin)
The Health Collaborative (San Antonio)
University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (Houston)
Center for Public Policy Priorities (Austin)
Disability Rights Texas (Austin)
Feeding Texas (Austin)
Meals on Wheels Texas (Austin)
Texans Care for Children, Inc. (Austin)
Texas Network of Youth Services (Austin)
In addition to determining political representation and district boundaries for every level of government, an accurate and complete census is necessary to ensure fair allocation of federal dollars for resources, services and infrastructure that support Texans' everyday quality of life.
Four of the 28 organizations—Rural Economic Assistance League, Rio Grande Valley Equal Voice Network, Texas Association of Community Development Corporations and Southwest Area Regional Transit—are being co-funded through a generous $210,000 gift grant to the Hogg Foundation by Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas, Inc., a foundation based in San Antonio that serves a 74 county area of south and central Texas.
"This initiative has something for everyone who cares about well-being in our state," said Dr. Octavio N. Martinez, Jr., executive director of the Hogg Foundation and senior associate vice president for diversity and community engagement at The University of Texas at Austin. "It promotes civic engagement and renewal, it is part of a larger effort to ensure that Texans get the resources and political representation to which they're entitled, and by focusing on hard-to-count areas it addresses historic patterns of discrimination and inequity."
"As important as the 2020 Census is, this initiative has implications that go beyond," said Crystal Viagran, assistant director of finance and operations for the Hogg Foundation and project lead for the Texas Communities Count initiative. "By encouraging new forms of community collaboration and civic engagement, this initiative accomplishes a key aspect of well-being: supporting the ability of communities to take control of their own destiny."
Established in 1940, the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health envisions a future in which the people of Texas thrive in communities that support mental health and well-being. Using a variety of approaches, including grantmaking, convening, research and public policy, the foundation works collaboratively to transform how communities promote mental health in everyday life.
Disability Rights Texas (previously named Advocacy Inc.) is the federally designated legal protection and advocacy agency (P&A) for people with disabilities in Texas. Its mission is to help people with disabilities understand and exercise their rights under the law, ensuring their full and equal participation in society.

Mr Exotic World 2018 Ickymuffin at Burlesque Hall of Fame
Describe your burlesque persona in exactly 5 words: Majestic spinning animalistic unicorn. Amen.
Tell us about your best ever burlesque moment. What happened? Who was there? My best burlesque moment was when I competed for Best Boylesque at the 2018 Burlesque Hall of Fame Tournament of Tease. Until then I honestly felt like such an awkward fraud. I was confident in a few things, but overall I felt like at any moment everyone would realize I didn't have a dance background, and that I'm actually very awkward and in no way sexy. Instead, I had one of the best performances of my life. The crowd was awesome. I improvised a bunch of things in the moment that really added to my character, and on top of that, my closest friends were there to support me. As I walked off stage and emptied my stomach in a trashcan I felt so overwhelmed, proud, and hungry. Not like… metaphorically hungry… but like… I wanted chicken wings from TGI Fridays.
Name two things that you always carry with you.
1. Extra safety panties….Horrible things happen to safety panties when you do aerial. Sometimes I'm like: "I must burn this".
2. Pamela's Whenever Bars. They are dairy free, gluten free, and surprisingly NOT joy free.
What inspired your burlesque journey? I was inspired most by the acts I saw at my first Show-Me Burlesque Festival. Every performer is so weird and unique and beautiful. I was taken back by how thoughtful and nuanced the acts were.
Who would play you in a movie of your life? Daniel Craig. We have very similar eyes, and I'd love to see him dressed up in my cat outfits.
What's the most interesting thing about you that the internet doesn't know about you yet? Well…the internet may know because I talked about it when I filmed an episode of House Hunters in 2018, but I have eaten breakfast in the bathtub everyday for about 10 year. It's a crutch for my anxiety and I will not leave the house until I've soaked.
Tell us about your shoot experience with Tigz! The photo being used in the book is from my 2019 Step-down number from Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekender. We didn't really get to interface but I felt so privileged to get shot by so many amazing photographers!
What song gets you on the dancefloor? Barbie Girl by Aqua. What can I say, I'm a total stereotype.
Best achievement or moment that you're most proud of in your career I'm probably most proud of making toilet paper beautiful. My Best Boylesque winning number has a couple of big aerial moments where I hold a giant ribbon of toilet paper between my toes and spin like an elegant tornado. During that particular run, at the final spin sequence, the toilet paper broke from where it was supposed to be….but a random other piece somehow transferred from my hoop to my foot. It was a total 1 in a thousand accident, but looked like I did it on purpose. SHHHHHHHHH, don't tell anyone.
What is your top striptease tip? Eye fuck them. And when they start to look elsewhere, keep eye fucking them.
If you could be a model for any brand, which brand would it be and why? Tide Bleach Sticks. To understand why, see my comment above about always traveling with extra safety panties….
What will your autobiography be called? "The Garbage Took Itself Out"
What exciting project are you working on right now? I'm actually trying to back off of performing for a bit. My husband and I are starting the Foster to Adopt process and I need more space in my life for that.
Favourite burlesque festival/show to perform at? BHOF for sure! It's just such a GRAND event, and the audience is so amazing….because it's all of us! You can walk around and meet so many glorious legends, performers, and fans. It's just so amazing.
Most inspirational/memorable performer you've seen? Willy LaQueue. He is such an inspiring dancer, performer, and makeup artist. I've gotten to know him from various festivals and my troupe has brought him down a few times to perform with us. He is kind, and thoughtful, and puts on a brilliant show. Everyone should be booking him.
Where can we find more of Ickymuffin? Instagram and Facebook.

So I've been primarily a 1v1 playing back in the longago days and it hasn't changed since, yeah I go off and go play a week every couple months but same ol same ol, select 1v1, see a 40 100++ get insulted by my old school high hp/str TM build, get whopped, rinse and repeat. How's about sometime in the future not receiving a loss if up against someone 4 or more levels higher than you? Is it abusable, I suppose, call me vain but I worked pretty hard to have my 5k win 3k loss ratio back in the Varium OP days and a shame now that all my losses are exclusively from these godtier 40 rankers.


He speaks—usually in the form of catchphrases and loud swearing—in a thick French accent. He can bench-press over 300 pounds. He had a bizarrely-proportioned Donkey Kong machine custom-built for him by fellow Canadian Robert Felstein (the Lucius Fox of the Donkey Kong community, who also fashioned arcade-style MAME control panels for the competitors who don't own machines).
If you're able to attend a future Kong Off, I would urge you to experience Vincent Lemay for yourself.
While he came up just 2,700 points short of Hank Chien's world record, Lemay made headlines in the gaming world in January 2013 when he snagged the number two spot live from the 1up in Denver.
Even though he has moved on from pursuing the record, I would be first in line to buy the DVD of Vincent Lemay: The Movie.
"The other players are good. But I'm perfect. My goal isn't to finish first. My goal, and only goal, is to kick the sh*t out of Hank. People will say: 'That's a WAY too easy goal! You should aim for a much higher goal than that!' They are right, I know."
Obligatory trash-talk aside, Vincent did indeed come very close to beating Hank and taking his record. It was not to be, but he somehow managed to leave the impression that he had.


Black Friday has already passed, but there's plenty of time to pick up a video game for that special someone before the rest of the holidays kick into gear. If you're lucky enough to be buying for someone who owns more than one platform, there are even more choices to sort through. Luckily, X-Play and host Morgan Webb is here to guide you through Red Faction: Guerilla, Street Fighter IV, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Borderlands and Assassin's Creed 2.

Q: How to set IsSelected Property on top level TreeViewItem object from WPF TreeView Control I work with the following TreeView Control and HierarchicalDataTemplate. The Property DataList in the Code Behind is initialized with a List of Typ List<Foo> that contains the three entries: Object a, b, c as shown further down.
So far so good. If I try to get the TreeViewItem Object that represents Object a, I use this way in the Code Behind without success.
System.Int32 indexOfObjectA = 0;
TreeViewItem treeViewItem = treeViewControl.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(indexOfObjectA) as TreeViewItem;

The problem is, that treeViewItem is always null. The main aim that I have is to get the top level TreeViewItem on which I can call the method Focus(), set the property IsSelected to true and last but not least call the method BringIntoView(). The result should be that the First TreeViewItem in the TreeView will selected.
My XAML Definition:
<TreeView x:Name="treeViewX" ItemsSource="{Binding DataList">
    <TreeView.Resources>
       <HierarchicalDataTemplate x:Name="HierarchicalDataTemplateTreeView" DataType="{x:Type namespaceX:Foo}" ItemsSource="{Binding Children}">
        ...
       </HierarchicalDataTemplate>
    </TreeView.Resources>
</TreeView>

My ItemsSource Property is bound to the Children Property of the object Foo. Object Foo owns the Dictionary Object Foo.data which contains data to present.
  public class Foo {
  private Dictionary<System.Int32, Foo> data = new Dictionary<Int32, Foo>();
  private System.Int32 Key {get;set;}
  private System.Int32 FirstChildKey { get; set; }
  private System.Int32 NextSiblingKey { get; set; }

  public Foo(System.Int32 key)
  {
      this.Key = key;
  }

  public Dictionary<System.Int32, Foo> Data
  {
     get
     {
        return this.data;
     }
     set
     {
        this.data = value;
     }
  }

  public List<Foo> Children
  {
      get
      {
          List<Foo> children = new List<Foo>();
          Foo child = this.FirstChild;
          while(child != null)
          {
             children.Add(child);
             child = child.NextSibling;
          }
          return children;
       }
   }

   public Foo FirstChild
   {
       get
       {
           if(null == this.Data)
              return null;
           return this.NodeWithKey(this.FirstChildKey);
       }
   }

   public Foo NextSibling
   {
       get
       {
          if(null == this.Data)
             return null;
          return this.NodeWithKey(this.NextSiblingKey);
       }
   }

   private Foo NodeWithKey(System.Int32 key)
   {
       Foo foo;
       bool success = this.Data.TryGetValue(key, out foo);
       if(success)
         return foo;
       else
         return null;
   }
}

The initialization is as follow.
/// +---+
/// | a |
/// +---+
/// | b | ---+
/// +---+    |                  +---+
/// | c |    |             +--> | e |
/// +---+    |             |    +---+
///          |             |
///          |    +---+    |
///          +--> | d | ---+
///               +---+

Dictionary<System.Int32, Foo> data = new Dictionary<System.Int32, Foo>();
Foo a = new Foo(1);
Foo b = new Foo(2);
Foo c = new Foo(3);
Foo d = new Foo(4);
Foo e = new Foo(5);
data.Add(a.Key, a);
data.Add(b.Key, b);
data.Add(c.Key, c);
data.Add(d.Key, d);
data.Add(e.Key, e);

a.NextSiblingKey = b.Key;
b.FirstChildKey = d.Key;
b.NextSiblingKey = c.Key
d.FirstChildKey = e.Key
a.Data = data;
b.Data = data;
c.Data = data;
d.Data = data;
e.Data = data;

What I am doing wrong? Thanks for help.

Currenex is a trading platform used for trading spot forex and CFDs. It mostly focuses on linking Forex traders through their ECN (Electronic Currency Network). When using forex broker that supports Currenex, traders can spot forwards and swaps through STP (Straight Through Processing) technology. The platform developer , Currenex Inc, has a few patents to its name on low latency execution tech.
If a trader chooses a Currenex Forex broker, they will be able to have access to a deep liquidity, which industry Giants such as Goldman Sachs, provide. Currenex is aimed at those who have more experience in Forex trading. It is not a platform that is particularly suitable if you are just starting out with trading Forex. Its complexity is too demanding for that. It has a range of execution algorithms and order types in addition to reporting tools that are advanced. It is a platform that is based on Java, so there is no need to install anything.
There are many available. Some, such as FXCM and FXDD are mentioned as partners on Currenex's website. Currenex is popular among hundreds if not thousands of traders and institutions alike that connects traders with many providers of liquidity.
We like many things about Currenex. For example, the partial order option shows the fill stages transparently and clearly, which is different from other platforms that support partial orders. Also, it can be accessed directly from your desktop PC and this means it is very easy to use. The fact that it is easy to use means that potential traders will enjoy the features and facilities that the platform offers.
Currenex is a successful and easy to use social platform for Forex trading. Many brokers are compatible with Currenex but beware of new brokers who perhaps don't have the necessary regulations that are needed in your country.
