Abstract : Aims: This paper presents a study solar radiation spatial and temporal variations in Bordeaux winegrowing area, for a 20 year period (1986-2005). Methods and results: Solar radiation data was retrieved from the HelioClim-1 database, elaborated from Meteosat satellite images, using the Heliosat-2 algorithm. Daily data was interpolated using ordinary kriging to produce horizontal solar radiation maps at a 500 m resolution. Using a digital elevation model, high resolution daily solar radiation maps with terrain integration were then produced for the period 2001-2005, at a 50 m resolution. The long term (20 years) analysis of solar radiation at low spatial resolution (500 m) showed a west to east decreasing gradient within Bordeaux vineyards. Mean August-to-September daily irradiation values, on horizontal surface, were used to classify Bordeaux winegrowing areas in three zones: low, medium, and high solar radiation areas. This initial zoning was upscaled at 50 m resolution, applying a local correction ratio, based on 2001-2005 solar radiation on inclined surface analysis. Grapevine development and maturation potential of the different zones of appellation of origin of Bordeaux winegrowing area are discussed in relation with this zoning. 2 Conclusions: Solar radiation variability within Bordeaux winegrowing area is mainly governed by terrain slopes and orientations, which induce considerable variations within the eastern part of Bordeaux vineyards. Significance and impact of the study: Solar radiation has a major impact on vineyard water balance, grapevine development and berry ripening. However, irradiation data is seldom available in weather stations records. This paper underline the interest of high resolution cartography of solar radiation, using satellite sensing and terrain effect integration, for agroclimatic studies in viticulture.

BUILDING UTOPIA — The Spanish Revolution 1936-1937 by Stuart Christie. eBook £1.50 (see eBookshelf)
Posted on May 31, 2012 at 9:50 am. Written by Christie
Building Utopia — The Spanish Revolution 1936-1937, Stuart Christie, ChristieBooks, ISBN 978-1-873976-18-0
Within the Spanish anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist movements there were three distinct points of view on the question of war and revolution. The first, probably the majority view, was that the war would be over in a matter of weeks, after all, a few days had been enough to rout the army in Barcelona and other industrial centres, and that the social revolution and Libertarian Communism as debated and adopted by the CNT's national congress at Zaragoza in February, five months previously, was an inseparable aspect of the struggle against economic and social oppression. Thus, the movement should proceed immediately to socialise the factories, the land and their communities. READ INSIDE
The second position was that held by members of the regional, national and peninsular committees of the CNT-FAI, the so-called 'notables', office holders such as such as Horacio Prieto, Mariano Rodriguez, Federica Montseny, Diego Abad de Santillan, García Oliver, etc. They anticipated a lengthy war and opposed implementing Libertarian Communism until the war was won. They opted instead for compromising alliances with the bourgeois Republican, Catalanist and Stalinist parties.
Their argument was that such a strategy would prevent a situation developing wherein a victorious but exhausted CNT might be overwhelmed by another political force which had been more sparing with its forces ie, the Spanish Communist Party.
It was a fatal strategy that quickly absorbed them, undermined their principles and transformed what had hitherto been a great instrument of the working class into just another rigid bureaucratic institution.
The third body of opinion, a minority one held by militants such as Durruti, Camillo Berneri, Jaime Balius, and so on (and one which I incidentally agree with) also anticipated a lengthy war because of the involvement of Germany and Italy — but held that war and revolution were inseparable.
Only a libertarian revolution could finally destroy fascism because to do so meant destroying the state, since fascism only means a certain mode of the state: all states turn fascist when the threat to the privilege that the state protects — and to a degree also embodies — becomes strong enough, which happens when the participatory procedures of the state can no longer secure that privilege.
Fascism, in other words, is enforced class collaboration, as opposed to the voluntary class collaboration of parliamentary government.
The author's main contention in this book is, briefly, that between July 21 and the end of August 1936, the so-called 'notables' of the CNT-FAI regional, national and peninsular committees (Federica Montseny, Mariano Vázquez, Diego Abad de Santillán and, later Juan García Oliver, etc.) abandoned all pretence of being revolutionaries. Instead, they created a vested interest structure that served, primarily, to apply the brakes to the spontaneous revolutionary activity of the union rank and file and to repress the revolutionary activists of the Libertarian Youth, the confederal defence cadres, the action- and affinity groups. They promoted 'Anti-fascist unity' and state power at the expense of anarchist principles and values, and imposed, arbitrarily, the hegemony of the Catalan CNT–FAI leadership over the local revolutionary committees and the general assemblies, not only of Catalonia, but of Aragón as well, particularly the revolutionary Regional Defence Council of Aragón. Their principal aim being to secure and perpetuate their power base, even at the expense of the anarchist principles and values that had inspired the largest mass labour union in Spanish history.
For them the instrumental means had become the organisational end. Not only that; they were now complicit and compromised players in a re-invigorated state dominated not just by middle- and upper-class conservative and anti-working class social democrats, but also by Stalin's agents serving the interests of Soviet foreign policy. Unfortunately, their influence didn't end with the sabotage of the revolutionary process in August 1937. Montseny and her colleagues continued, after Franco's victory, to play a highly sinister, manipulative and cancerous role within the Toulouse-based 'Movimiento Libertario Espanol' (Spanish Libertarian Movement – CNT-FAI-FIJL-Mujeres Libres) in Exile — but that's another story entirely (see Pistoleros!

As with all other regiments in the British Army during the War of 1812, the Glengarry Light Infantry Fencibles had it's own surgical staff. The surgeon was responsible for everything from examining recruits to setting up and maintaining the regimental hospital. Captain Alexander Cunningham, who was the Glen surgeon, spent most of the war in Montreal and Trois-Rivi�res treating the men. It was in fact Assistant Surgeon, Lieutenant Robert Horne, along with his surgeon's mates, who were the primary source of care while the Glens were on campaign.
The regimental surgeon's uniform was a combination of the medical staff officer's dress and regimental style. Their coats were single breasted with embroidered loops on the breast, but facings in regimental colouring with regimental lace, buttons and epaulettes. They carried a sword suspended from a narrow, black waistbelt. The medical staff wore bicorns while the regimental surgeons wore the headdress of the regiment. The black feather in the hat was worn only by the medical and Judge-Advocate's departments.

Bolefloor hardwood flooring is an ideal solution for having low-priced, high quality and durable wooden floor. The characteristic feature of this flooring type is natural curvature on the edges of the floorboard.
Resorting to a more natural style of flooring is becoming increasingly more common nowadays. Bolefloor hardwood floorboards look like the naturally-growing tree and are true masterpieces of carpentry.
They are an excellent choice for both residential and commercial places (e.g. hotels, restaurants, pubs, shops, living-rooms, kitchens, bedrooms and many others). Available in several different dimensions, colours, shades and patterns they will undoubtedly add up to the overall atmosphere in your room. Remember that each bolefloor floorboard is truly unique with its own colour, wood pattern and natural curvature.

Endothermic reaction: where has the energy disapeared?
Thread starter coquelicot
Assume a thermodynamic system S entirely isolated from the rest of the world, consisting in a block of salt inside in a tube containing water at some initial temperature. The total calorific energy of S is E. Now, after a time T, the bloc of salt has dissolved itself completely or partially in the water, and this reaction is endothermic, so it goes with a loss of temperature. Finally, the calorific energy of S is E'<E.
First question: where has the energy disapeared?
Second question: I guess that you will answer that it is stored in some form of chemical energy, but if this were true, let us consider the second following problem: suppose that the system now consist in two tubes, one containing the water with the salt, and the second containing only water, at the same initial temperature; again, after a time T, the block of salt has dissolved itself in the water and the temperature of the first tube has decreased, as well as its calorific energy. On the other hand, the temperature of the second tube remains approximately the same. But then, from the difference of temperature, it is possible to create energy, so a part of the calorific energy has been transformed into potential energy. At the same time, "you said" that the energy was transformed into chemical energy, so I have now more energy than was lost!!
Well, I believe that all of this is stupid and that there is a simple answer, so, I won't call this a paradox.
I will appreciate some hint.
Drakkith
The energy hasn't dissapeared or been created or lost, it has simply been transferred from the temperature of the water/salt to cause the salt to disolve and bond with the molecules in the water.
Drakkith said:
This is close to say that the energy has been transformed into chemical energy, so my second question still holds.
Furthermore, you say that the energy has been transferred from the temperature of the water to cause the salt to bond with the molecules of the water; but this is strange, because I know no mean to extract energy from salted water: the contrary is true, you have to spend energy to separate salt and water. I feel uncomfortable with these questions. Maybe am I missing a basical point.
hologramANDY
My guess is that it has somthing to do with the entropy of the system. Entropy always increases or is contstant in a closed system.
hologramANDY said:
hummm. Doesn't help very much.

Now, after a time T, the bloc of salt has dissolved itself completely or partially in the water, and this reaction is endothermic, so it goes with a loss of temperature. Finally, the calorific energy of S is E'<E.
I think you have raised a valid question, probing the nature of conservation of energy.
The starting situation is a volume of salt, and a volume of water, with the potential to mix them.
Recapitulating:
When you bring the salt and water in contact with each other then the salt dissolves in the water. The state of being dissolved is more probable than the state of being unmixed.
As we know, temperature is kinetic energy, so it is tempting to take an analogy with, say, the swing of a pendulum. During the upswing kinetic energy converts to potential energy. This implies that if a process is endothermic, it must somehow be driving towards a state of higher potential energy.
In the case of pendulum the potential energy is available energy, in the sense that the swinging converts once again to kinetic energy. The thing to notice is that the energy conversions are reversible, it's a two-way process
Now another example of an endothermic process.
Stack two containers for holding gas on top of each other. (A couple of cilinders for example.) The bottom one filled with a high density gas (say, Nitrogen) the top one one filled with a low density gas. Then allow mixing of the gases. A uniform distribution of molecules is more probable, so some of the nitrogen will migrate upwards, against the pull of gravity. This means that the process of getting mixed will be endothermic.
Contrary to the case of the pendulum it's an irreversible process. The nitrogen molecules have gained gravitational potential energy allright, but there is no way to "harvest" that potential energy. The gases have become mixed, and to unmix them requires more energy than can be harvested.
Back to dissolution of salt in water.
The water molecules tend to form hydrogen bonds, and with salt dissolved in the water there is less opportunity for those hydrogen bonds. Overall that means there is an energy cost to dissolution, rather analogous to the energy cost for migrating gas molecules that move against the pull of gravity.
The salt dissolves against that energy cost. The salt solution does have a potential energy correlated with that energy cost, but there is no way to "harvest" that potential energy. The necessary unmixing will cost more than can be harvested.
If the reaction of the salt drops the temperature, you could get work out of the system by transferring heat to the solution. Why exactly do you think you need to extract energy from the solution though?
Cleonis said:
This example is very interresting: it means that entropy acts as an irreversible "pump" of energy, even if it is not transformed in heat. Furthermore, I have never seen in what I know of thermodynamics that this is taken into consideration: all the variables usually considered in thermodynamics are usually heat, temperature, volume, mass, work, etc., but not potential energy at the molecular level.
If I understand right, you say that there is some potential energy associated with the bonds at the molecular level.
Now suppose I furnish with an energy E to separate again salt and water: do you think the total heat energy contained in the system after that will be > E?
Back to my second question: according to your answer, if I get energy by heat transfer from one tube to the other, this means that the potential energy that was contained in the first tube has been transformed back into energy, say work. And this means that the molecular potential energy in a salted solution is proportional to the concentration of salt. Things begin to be more clear for me. Neverthless, I still don't understand what is this potential energy that depends on the concentration of salt, that is, what is this energy of bonds between molecules.
This example is very interresting: it means that entropy acts as an irreversible "pump" of energy, even if it is not transformed in heat.
Indeed entropy is recognized as a factor that will drive a process in a particular direction.
Another example (this example is very well known).
Plant cells of leaves and stems have an outer wall that will not stretch. Inside the plant cells there are socalled vacuoles. The plant cells spend energy to maintain a high concentration of dissolved molecules in the vacuoles. (That is, embedded in the membranes of the vacuoles there are special molecules that use energy to transport particular molecules from outside the vacuole to inside the vacuole. So the concentration inside is maintained at a higher level than outside.)
The concentration difference causes water to migrate into the vacuoles. The cell enlarges, pressing against the non-stretchable outer wall. That way the plant cells achieve rigidity.
The pressure that builds up in the vacuoles is called osmotic pressure. Osmotic pressure is an entropy based phenomenon.
Entropy driven processes are just about everywhere, and I have seen them described often in textbooks. I think in doing physics the concept of entropy driving processes is encountered pretty much daily.
Water molecules tend to form a type of bond that is called 'hydrogen bond'. (For instance, ice is formed in crystalline structures because the formation of the hydrogen bonds orients the water molecules with respect to each other.)
The potential to form hydrogen bonds is a potential energy. When the hydrogen bonds do form this energy is released. The process of water freezing is a big increase in the number of hydrogen bonds. Ice occupies more volume than water. This increase of volume is quite forceful. That is, the process of ice freezing is capable of doing work. That is how in thaw/freeze cycles rocks are cracked. Water seeps in tiny fissures, and when the water freezes the fissure is widened.
When salt goes out of solution then there is more opportunity to form hydrogen bonds between the water molecules. So energy-wise it is favorable for salt to go out of solution (or to not dissolve). But the state of being dissolved is more probable, and you end up with a balance between the two opposing tendencies.
In the case of salt and water there is a saturation point. There is an upper limit to the concentration that entropy can sustain. Above the critical concentration some of the salt will go out of solution.
Thank you very much Cleonis (and Drakkith) for your very enlighting answers. I would like to pose a last question: According to my second question I posted when opening this thread, it is possible to get back energy by transfering heat from one tube to another: that is, the salted solution will become more hot, and the non salted one will become colder. But this energy can come only from the potential energy accumulated in the salted solution as hydrogen bonds (according to your answer). So, this means that at the end of this process, the salted solution will contain less potential energy than at the beginning; it follows that this potential energy doesn't depend only on the concentration of salt, but also on the temperature (more precisely, it is a decreasing function of the temperature). Am I right?
I would like to pose a last question: According to my second question I posted when opening this thread, it is possible to get back energy by transfering heat from one tube to another [...]
Recapitulating (from memory) the setup you described:
At the start one tube contains water and a chunk of salt, the other tube contains just water. The endothermic dissolution of the salt causes the temperature of the tube with water/salt to drop.
As you pointed out, when there is a temperature difference then it's possible to get some work done. (In the process of harvesting that potential the temperature evens out of course.)
You question, I gather, is whether one can attribute that potential to a particular component. Well, no. You cannot.
The potential to get some work done from a system where different parts have different temperature is a property of that system as a whole. Getting the work done does not come from the temperature of either component, it comes from temperature difference between the constituent parts of the system as a whole.
The process of temperature evening out is a process towards a more probable state. A thermocouple, for example, channels that process. A thermocouple hastens the process of temperature evening out, but in such a way that a bit of electric energy is generated along the way.
The driving principle behind a thermocouple is entropy: the entropy of the system as a whole can only increase.

The airline's recent announcement that the new 10-across economy seats in 777-300s will give a "feeling of more space" than the standard nine-across seats could easily have originated with 1984's Ministry of Truth.
The math is simple and uncompromising. At nine-across, 777 optimum economy seats are approximately 20.5 inches wide between armrest midpoints—the correct way to measure seat width. Thus, nine seats take up 185 inches. When you fit 10 seats into those 185 inches, each seat gets only 18.5 inches. That's actually narrower than the ultra-tight 737 seats, typically 19 inches, and among the tightest one will encounter on any major airline. American not only is using the ultra-narrow design on its newest 777s but also is likely to retrofit its current 777 fleet with them as well.
So the American flak machine says that a seat two inches narrower gives a feeling of more space? Let's get real here. American will stuff 10-across seats in economy cabins because it can make more money that way—and because it knows economy-class travelers are used to rock-bottom comfort standards.
But please, American, even if you decide to degrade cabin comfort, at least retain your credibility: Don't try to convince us 18.5 is wider than 20.5. Don't tell us, "Less is more."

Lucknow: UP State Election Commission (SEC) today sought an explanation from the state government over mass transfer of IAS, IPS, PCS and PPS officers and asked if the reshuffle was done after the poll code came into effect following notification for panchayat polls.
Chief Executive Officer of Greater Noida Rama Raman (above), who was replaced on Sunday by Secretary (Higher Education) Anil Garg.
"Separate letters have been written to home and appointment departments to clarify whether transfers were done after model code of conduct came into effect," Additional State Election Commissioner J P Singh told PTI.
On Sunday night, the UP government transferred 23 IAS and 42 IPS officers, including Chief Executive Officer of Greater Noida Rama Raman, who was replaced by Secretary (Higher Education) Anil Garg.
The government had last night issued a list of 12 IAS, 10 PCS and 21 IPS officers, which included SPs of nine districts. The list was dated September 21.
However, the governent yesterday issued a list dated September 21 saying Garg has been shifted as CEO, Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority.
Singh said it has come to the notice of the SEC that IAS, IPS, PCS and PPS officers were transferred after the notification for panchayat polls was issued on Monday.
"It has been directed that once the notification is issued and model code of conduct comes into effect immediately, no official or staff related to poll duty will be transferred," he said.
Singh said as per the rules, if under unavoidable circumstances any transfer was required, it should be done only after taking permission from the SEC.
"The two departments have been asked to explain that if transfers were done after model code of conduct came into effect, why such a move was taken," he said.
He said the two departments have been asked to clarify the position within two days.

Uneasy ceasefire temporarily halts intense air war between Israel and terror groups in Gaza

Palestinian terror groups claimed responsibility for firing more than 100 rockets and mortars from Gaza into Israel from Tuesday evening to Wednesday morning in the worst bombardment seen since the 2014 Gaza war
The Israel Defense Forces said they struck 25 military targets in Gaza in retaliation for the launches which reportedly wounded three soldiers.
A ceasefire was reportedly reached by late Wednesday morning, although Israel says it remains poised to retaliate.
Palestinian terror groups claimed responsibility for firing more than 100 rockets and mortars from Gaza into Israel from Tuesday evening to Wednesday morning in the worst bombardment seen since the 2014 Gaza war referred to as Operation Protective Edge.
Israel's Channel 10 estimated that more than 115 rockets and missiles were launched from Gaza into Israel after the first sirens were heard near the Gaza border at 6 p.m. Tuesday. Other estimates listed the number as high as 130.
Despite the heavy barrage, no civilian casualties have been reported on the Israeli side as its Iron Dome missile defense system shot down many of the projectiles. Israel's Defense Forces (IDF) said three of its soldiers were wounded by mortar fragments on Tuesday, Haaretz reported.
The IDF said on Twitter that it struck 25 military targets in Gaza in retaliation for the increased fire.

"The IDF is prepared for a variety of scenarios and is determined to act against terror operatives.," the IDF said.
Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the rocket attacks claiming it was in response to Israel's killing of over 100 Palestinians participating in sometimes violent protests along its border since March 30.
"Qassam and Jerusalem Brigades (the groups' armed wings) announce joint responsibility for bombarding (Israel's) military installations and settlements near Gaza with dozens of rocket shells throughout the day," the groups said in a joint statement, according to Reuters.
Israel also imposed a naval blockade on Gaza on Tuesday, and stopped a boat with 17 Gazan protesters from reaching Israel, the Jerusalem Post reported.
Israel's Defense Ministry said Wednesday morning it believed the fighting had come to an end. Hamas said it had agreed on a ceasefire with help from Egypt, which shares a border with Gaza Haaretz reported.
Israel said it would be willing to respect the ceasefire, with Egypt acting as a moderating force. However an Israeli official told Haaretz that Israel was prepared to ramp up its retaliatory attacks if rocket launches resume.
The Gaza border has been the site of mass protests aimed at lifting Israel and Egypt's blockade on the Gaza Strip which has been in place since 2014.
Rocket launches from were common during Israel's war with Gaza in 2014. The 7-week war saw 73 deaths on the Israeli side and over 2,000 deaths on the Palestinian side, according to various estimates by Israel, the UN and Hamas.

Four Arrested After Two-state Police Chase That Ended in Bridgev - WBOC-TV 16, Delmarvas News Leader, FOX 21 -
Four Arrested After Two-state Police Chase That Ended in Bridgeville
Monday, July 15, 2019 1:41 PM EDT
By Kye Parsons
kparsons@wboc.com
BRIDGEVILLE, Del.- Authorities say four people are facing charges after they led police on a chase that started in Maryland and ended in Bridgeville.
Delaware State Police said the incident occurred at around 6:35 a.m. Sunday, July 14, when troopers were made aware that Maryland State Police were in pursuit of a stolen Honda Civic that had fled into Delaware. The car was subsequently located in Delaware traveling northbound on Dupont Boulevard in the area of Patriots Way. An attempt was made to stop the vehicle, which police said continued to drive recklessly and flee from police.
The vehicle came to a stop on Sussex Highway and Cider Lane, when a passenger got out and proceeded to run away, according to police. A foot pursuit ensued with the passenger, identified as a 16-year-old Clinton, Md. boy, when he struck a Bridgeville K-9 in an attempt to resist being taken into custody. The teen was subsequently taken into custody.
The vehicle continued to flee and was later located unoccupied on Walnut Street in Bridgeville. A concerned citizen had reported seeing occupants flee from the vehicle and enter a detached shed on a property. Troopers located three people hiding in the shed and took them into custody without further incident. The three suspects were identified as the driver, a 16-year-old Lenham, Md., boy, a 16-year-old girl, also of Lenham, Md., and 19-year-old Wilfredo N. Rodriguez, of College Park, Md.
All of the suspects were transported back to Troop 5 where all four were charged with resisting arrest. Three of the suspects were also charged with burglary and related offenses.

SEC pushes decisions on WisdomTree's and One River's applications for spot Bitcoin ETFs
Singapore financial watchdog's chairman questions if…

White House report says it would a 'grave mistake' to deepen…
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission has extended its window to approve or disapprove spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) applications from asset managers WisdomTree and One River.
According to separate Friday filings, the SEC will push the deadline for approving or disapproving a rule change allowing shares of the WisdomTree Bitcoin Trust and One River Carbon Neutral Bitcoin Trust to be listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange and New York Stock Exchange Arca, respectively. The regulator said it would extend its window for the decision on WisdomTree's Bitcoin investment vehicle to May 15 and One River's to June 2.
The spot BTC ETF application from WisdomTree followed the SEC rejecting a similar offering from the asset manager in December 2021 after several delays. The regular said at the time that the BZX exchange did not provide enough data to conclude the crypto market is resistant to manipulation, or address concerns about possible sources of fraud and manipulation. WisdomTree filed for another spot BTC ETF listing in February 2022.
In contrast, One River's BTC investment vehicle will be nearing its final deadline in 2022 after the firm filed for a proposed rule change listing on NYSE Arca on Oct. 5. The commission was expected to reach a decision or extend its deliberation window on the crypto ETF by April 3 but chose to push the deadline for an additional 60 days, to June 2, 2022. The SEC has the ability to extend the deliberation window or open the application up to public comment for up to 240 days before delivering a final decision.
"The Commission finds that it is appropriate to designate a longer period within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change and the issues raised in the comments that have been submitted in connection therewith," said the SEC regarding One River's application.

Regulators in the U.S. have continued to deny applications to list spot Bitcoin ETFs but also gave the green light to investment vehicles linked to BTC derivatives for the first time in October 2021. On March 11, the SEC rejected crypto ETF applications from New York Digital Investment Group and Global X. However, some BTC "strategy" ETF applications have had more success, with the regulator in 2021 approving the listing of shares of funds from Valkyrie, ProShares and VanEck.

A new housemate is thrown into the mix.
What happened last week? We met the six bi+ contestants at a villa in Barcelona. Michael went on his first ever date, while Daisie opened up to her date about her trust issues and he still checked out Leonnie in front of her.
Note: A lot of the dates in this episode had unisex names, so to avoid confusion I've noted their gender in brackets after their name.
Michael and Ryan are going on a double blind date and Ryan is pumped, but Michael is still a little nervous; especially because he doesn't know who he'll be meeting. Thankfully, Ryan is there to play the big brother and teach Michael how to flirt before their dates show up; reminding him that confidence is key. It's adorable.
But when their dates Sam (M) and Charli (F) show up, Michael really didn't need any help. He's still a bit shy, but he's more than able to hold his own during the conversation, even before the tequila shows up. Another awesome thing is that there's no competition between the four; in private conversations, it turns out that Sam and Michael prefer each other, as do Charli and Ryan. Afterwards, Michael explains that the date went better than he thought it would and admits that Sam definitely gave him that "want to rip your clothes off feeling".
While Michael and Ryan are on their lunch date, Shane is helping Matt and Leonnie choose a date for the next day. Matt chooses the well-travelled Fredi (F), while Leonnie picks footballer Jamie (M).
Matt explains that he's nervous about his date, especially given that he's planning to tell her that he's bisexual. As he heads to the date, his housemates gather around the TV to watch his date live.
Matt and Fredi appear to be getting on well and his housemates note that he hasn't taken his eyes off her. Well, she is a pageant princess after all. Then, the topic of conversation moves to the type of person Matt usually goes for. He describes their ideal characteristics in a very gender-neutral way, mentioning that he likes someone who takes charge, has lighter colored hair, and is good in bed, which makes Fredi chuckle and call him a "naughty boy".
From this, Fredi also gathers that Matt might be bi+, so she asks him directly and he confirms it. They have an honest talk about it and Fredi has the best reaction of all the dates – honesty not even batting an eyelid- which I'm happy about it. It even gives Ryan hope that not all girls are going to freak out when they hear that you're bi. Also, they're going to see each other again!
Leonnie is nervous about what to wear on the date - more nervous about what to wear than the fact that she hasn't dated anyone for seven years - so she ropes Ryan and Daisie in to help her. Daisie offers her the sound advice: "wear knickers", which is probably not the clothing critique that Leonnie was looking for, but it's still good advice.
Leonnie admits that it's been a long time since she was fully sober when meeting someone for a date, so she warns us that she'll probably be a bit shy. Honestly though, you'd never be able to tell.
When asked what type of guys she normally goes for, Leonnie explains that she's bisexual and Jamie wants to know how that works (i.e. do I have to worry about you checking out guys and girls?). Leonnie, who is fast becoming my fave person on this show, explains that it comes down to "trust". Side note: Why do people keep asking bi+ people this? Be more confident that the person you're on a date with likes you.
Now, the banter between the pair really begins when they decide to order some food. Jamie says he's so hungry he'll eat whatever's in front of him and Leonnie jokingly asks if that includes her, but he blushes. Then, as they begin to look through the menu, Leonnie admits that she's tried to be veggie, but she "always ends up with a sausage in [her] mouth". Double entendre, anyone? They both end up in fits of laughter, but decide not to go on another date.
When Leonnie and Daisie are relaxing by the pool, Shane informs them that 1) there's going to be a pool party tomorrow and 2) a massive surprise has just been dropped off at the house.
The surprise is the new housemate who was teased last week, London-based photographer Irene. She explains that she's lived a predominantly straight life, just because its "easier", but she hopes to become more "comfortable" with her pansexuality over the course of the show.
This pan writer is incredibly excited for this representation, especially as the other housemates admit to not really being familiar with pansexuality. It will give Irene the chance to educate viewers while talking with her new housemates, but it could also mean that we're getting some nonbinary representation in terms of Irene's dates.
Michael admits that he's nervous about seeing Sam again, so his housemates work together to grease the wheels as it were, with Daisie dropping massive hints about them spending time alone before ducking out of the conversation with a smile on her face. Luckily, they take her advice and it's damn cute, with Michael initiating his first kiss.
Matt is disappointed when Fredi can't make it to the pool party, but Daisie tries to cheer him up by saying that everything happens for a reason. Then, he meets a cute guy who puts a "massive smile" on his face.
The next episode promises a date for Mariella, two for Irene, and Matt getting to know his new love interest better.
The Bi Life airs on E! UK and Ireland at 9 pm on Thursdays. All photos credited to E!

More Rules Modernization
USGA/R&A to explore letting amateurs sign endorsement deals as part of review of the Rules of Amateur Status
By Ryan Herrington
A golfer paid to play and endorse golf clubs, have his or her travel expenses covered and who can make a living teaching the game to other golfers currently is defined as a professional. But in the not-too-distant future, that golfer might still be considered an amateur.
In a joint announcement on Monday, the USGA and R&A outlined plans to review the Rules of Amateur Status over the next two years with the purpose of updating the code to make it less confusing, more intuitive and more applicable to the realities of the modern game.
Depending on how the discussions with the game's other stakeholders play out, there is the potential for significant changes to be implemented that would radically alter the parameters of being an amateur golfer. Some ideas that will be reviewed include:
• Allowing golfers to sign endorsement contracts and accept compensation for the use of their name, image and likeness while remaining amateurs.
• Eliminating all restrictions on amateurs accepting money to pay for expenses.
• Lifting prohibitions against working for pay at golf courses or golf shops.
• Giving amateurs the ability to accept compensation for golf instruction.
"It is our goal to ensure the fundamental concept of what it means to be an amateur golfer is clear and retained to promote fair competition and enjoyment for everyone, while still addressing many issues that seek to protect both players and the game," said Thomas Pagel, USGA Senior Managing Director of Governance. "This is a forward-thinking approach, and engaging golfers is a key component of doing what's best for golf."
Informal talks between the Amateur Status Committee at the USGA and the R&A began in 2018, with the conversation becoming more in-depth at the meeting of the Joint Amateur Status Committee in St. Andrews last April. The plan moving forward is for the committee to continue these discussions, along with reaching out to relevant groups in the game for feedback. These include amateur golfers, golf event organizers, national golf associations, professional golf associations and other industry partners. The intent then would be to finalize a new code in late 2021 for implementation in 2022.
RELATED: NCAA to allow college athletes to profit from use of their name, image and likeness
According to Craig Winter, USGA senior director, Rules of Golf/Amateur Status, the joint committee has begun its work by trying to create a definition of amateurism that is centered around a golfer's playing status. Does a golfer compete for and accept prizes (cash or non-cash) in golf tournaments? That would become the point of differentiation for golfers. All those who do play for prizes would be considered professionals, and those who don't would remain amateurs, even if they made money in other ways based on their golf skill.
"It's a much simpler code and really gets into the core of what does that individual play for," Winter told Golf Digest. "That would be the ultimate arbiter of whether they're an amateur or not an amateur."
Remaining questions regarding amateur golfers could then viewed independently, allowing for a thorough discussion on each topic.
Winter cautions against traditionalists worrying about drastic changes at this point in the process. "What will end up being the final code is still very much unknown," he said.
There is a good likelihood, however, that a more liberal approach to amateurism will be adopted.
The amateur-status initiative is an extension of the governing bodies' recent reviews of the Rules of Golf, updated in 2019, and handicaps, with a new World Handicap System to be implemented in 2020.
Arguably, the conversation surrounding whether to let amateurs sign endorsement contracts will be the most lively. It's important to note that the topic won't be debated strictly on an all or nothing basis. Says Winter: "One of the things we discussed at length [already] is do we actually put some caps on [endorsement dollars], where you can have some of these sponsorship opportunities but ultimately it's limited to expenses."
Compensation for name, image and likeness is the toughest issue facing the Amateur Status committees of late. Earlier this year, the USGA had to review the case of Lucy Li, a former U.S. Curtis Cupper who participated in a social-media ad for the Apple Watch that appeared to violate current Amateur Status rules. Li ultimately received a one-time warning; she recently turned pro. But dealing with issues like these on a one-off basis "gets really complicated really quick," says Winter.
Aurelien Meunier
Li could have benefitted from a liberalized look at the amateur code when her status was in jeopardy after appearing in an Apple Watch promotion.
The USGA/R&A debate on the matter will come separately but simultaneously to the one the NCAA is having regarding whether to let student-athletes be paid for their name, image and likeness rights as well. Recently, NCAA officials announced they would open up discussion on the matter. If the NCAA went ahead and adopted a policy allowing it but nothing changed with the USGA/R&A rules, golfers could potentially have to navigate two sets of rules that would make them NCAA eligible but be in violation of golf's amateur-status code.
RELATED: Lucy Li remains an amateur after USGA gives her one-time warning for Apple Watch ad
Where USGA officials see the most opportunity for potential changes to the amateur rules to have a meaningful impact is if restrictions on accepting money for expenses were to go away. Particularly in the case for junior golfers whose families don't necessarily have the financial resources to compete beyond a very local basis.
"We just feel like would be a game-changer," Winter says. "Yeah there would be logos in junior golf, but it would give so many more kids access. And it would in some ways democratize what is a pretty expensive sport by giving young players the ability to not only compete in golf but just experience golf in a more robust way, to really level the playing field."
The one thing the two governing bodies are trying to stay away from is the idea of a code that allows golfers to "do this, but not that." That would run counter to the point of trying to modernize the Rules of Amateur Status at all: to create a simpler path for amateur golfers to navigate.

intellectual property (IP) | 02 Jul 2019

intellectual property (IP)
A bittersweet copyright story
A story that was widely reported on in the United Kingdom ("UK") gives us an interesting insight into the world of copyright.
A long time ago – some 22 years to be precise – a songwriter by the name of Richard Ashcroft assigned (transferred) the copyright in a hugely successful song called Bitter Sweet Symphony performed by a band called The Verve. If no bells are ringing, I suggest that you Google the song, chances are you will recognise it immediately. The copyright was assigned to two people, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones.
As with many rock music stories, things are a bit fuzzy. However, it seems that Ashcroft was persuaded that he had himself infringed the copyright in the Rolling Stones' song The Last Time, by incorporating a ten-second orchestral version of that song in Bitter Sweet Symphony. So, Ashcroft assigned his copyright in Bitter Sweet Symphony, seemingly as a form of recompense. The upshot, of course, was that Ashcroft did not profit much from a song that apparently sold more than 1 200 000 copies in the UK alone.
But time was on Ashcroft's side. Jagger and Richards have finally re-assigned (returned) the copyright in Bitter Sweet Symphony to Ashcroft. This decision was seemingly linked to the fact that Ashcroft was to receive a music Lifetime Achievement Award. At last, it seems, Ashcroft stands to make some money from his magnum opus.
There are lessons to be learned from this story. For example:
copyright is a valuable right that can provide an income for many years. It's important to know that copyright terms are very long – in South Africa, they are 50 years, but in some countries, they are significantly longer (75 years). In the case of some categories of work, the term runs from the date of death of the creator whereas in others, it runs from the date of the work's release.
when it comes to music, there may be different copyrights involved. There is a copyright in the music itself, as a so-called "musical work". But there is a separate copyright in the actual recording, as a so-called "sound recording". The lyrics might even enjoy protection as a so-called "literary work".
like any commercial right, there is much that you can do with copyright – you can sell or otherwise transfer it (assignment), you can rent it (licencing), and you can bargain with it, as the Rolling Stones seem to have done, taking it as a form of compensation.
if, as in the present case, a small portion of a song is copied, this may well infringe the copyright in the song if the portion in issue amounts to a substantial part of the song.
infringing copyright does not pay. It can cost a lot of money.
On a more general level, it's important to know that:
copyright protects endeavour rather than skill. What this means is that something like a piece of music does not need to have any merit to enjoy copyright. All that is necessary is that the creator must have expended some effort in creating it.
copyright comes into existence as soon as the work is made or recorded. In most countries, including South Africa, there is no registration involved.
copyright is universal – so, for example, a song written or recorded in the UK has copyright protection in South Africa, and vice versa.
Copyright is a highly specialist field, and expert advice really is necessary. Copyright can be very technical, especially when it comes to music. We saw this in the case of Led Zeppelin's masterpiece, Stairway to Heaven. The issue, in this case, was whether Led Zeppelin's 1971 rock classic infringed the copyright in a 1967 song called Spirit by the band Taurus. The evidence showed that it was very likely that Led Zeppelin had known of the song Spirit because they had performed at a concert with Taurus in 1970.
As with Bitter Sweet Symphony, the Stairway to Heaven case revolved around a small portion of the song, namely the famous opening chord sequence. A jury in California decided that the opening sequence of Stairway to Heaven was not similar to a particular sequence in Spirit. Crucially, the jury accepted the argument that the chord progression or sequence in issue was a common one.
But on appeal, a court found that the trial judge had advised the jury badly. In particular, the judge had failed to make it clear that, although copyright law might not protect individual elements such as notes or scales, it can protect combinations or sequences if they are original. The judge had also failed to make it clear that copyright can protect chromatic scales, arpeggios or short sequences of three notes. As we said, highly technical stuff. That case still goes on!

Fishing Monthly Magazines : 2002 Stessl Gold Coast Flathead Classic "
THE NINTH annual Flathead Classic was held over October 3-6, attracting around 250 keen competitors of all ages.
The prolonged dry conditions meant the fish were spread out over a large area, making angling a greater challenge than usual. The total number of flathead caught was 1342 – approx 5.4 flathead per angler – which was down from the 2000 tournament average. Another interesting finding this year was the success of soft plastic lures. 255 flathead were caught on plastics this year, up from 52 in the 2000 comp.
For the lucky draws, 20 seniors and eight juniors were drawn at random for the chance to win a Stessl boat and Yamaha motor package. This year saw the Stessl 3.85m Edgetracker and 25hp Yamaha go to Roger Emmerson in the senior draw and a 3.4m Vagabond and 4hp Yamaha go to Doug Burt Jnr in the junior draw. The 26 remaining lucky anglers shared in a heap of prizes donated by many generous sponsors.
On behalf of the Gold Coast Sportfishing Club, we congratulate all the winners, with special mention to David Green and his team. David has been involved with this tournament since its inception, and fishes hard every year.
Thanks also go to the Southport Yacht Club, Castlemaine XXXX, Channel 10 and Paul Burt, the Gold Coast City Council, and all of our sponsors for their help and support.
2003 is looking to be the best ever Classic, and everyone's invited to participate. See you there! - Phil Imhoff, Tournament Chairman.

Check out the new album Bleaching Bones by Landless . . . it has just recently come out on new Dublin based label Humble Serpent (love that name). Landless is a quartet of four women from Dublin and Belfast, and they simply sing together a cappella. If you love the the sound of unaccompanied voices like I do, then you'll love this record. I think it's one of the most beautiful and raw things I've heard in quite some time. I shared the stage with Landless at a concert in Ireland a couple years ago, and I've been waiting ever since for the release of their first album.

PJ Library Comes to Additional Russian-speaking Jewish Communities
The Harold Grinspoon Foundation (HGF), in partnership with Genesis Philanthropy Group (GPG), is broadening its outreach to Russian-speaking Jewish families in North America by bringing its PJ Library program to additional Russian-speaking Jewish communities. Greater Miami Jewish Federation, Montreal Federation CJA and the Jewish Federation of Silicon Valley are the first three PJ Library communities to be awarded this grant opportunity.
Created by HGF in 2005, PJ Library offers families raising Jewish children, ages six months to eight years, a meaningful way to develop and deepen their Jewish identities. Building on the success of PJ Library's commitment to New York's Russian-speaking Jewish families – three existing programs in NYC serve this audience – this new initiative will expand the national reach of the program over the next two years.
Funding provides participating Russian-speaking Jewish children with an age-appropriate Jewish book or CD delivered to their home every month, free of charge. Since the initiative's launch in December, more than 300 families have enrolled. In addition to receiving books, families engage with their local community through "Beyond the Books" programming. The partnership with local Jewish organizations and Jewish Federations includes holiday celebrations, book clubs and local monthly PJ Library gatherings that incorporate Jewish values and Russian traditions. In addition to PJ Library subscriptions and resources for programming, GPG funding supports Russian-speaking program staff, as they work with local communities to develop relevant and innovative programming experiences and reach RSJ families.
Oftentimes, Russian-speaking Jewish families in the United States are not involved in the local Jewish community. By sending books into their homes, the PJ Library program is designed to both spark Jewish engagement in the home and bring families from the wider community together.


Each year OUCCC organises a Pre-Season Training Camp in mid- or late September, a few weeks before the start of Michaelmas Term in order to get reacquainted with miles, hills and each other. For sure one of the highlights of the OUCCC calendar, incoming Fresher, Daniel Bundred, reports on our 2018 Pre-Season September Training Camp.
From September 13th-18th, this year's camp was hosted at Gibside Stables, a long way north of the Pret-Greggs border. Still, this did not seem to hamper attendance as OUCCC turned up in force. Gibside Stables provided us with a wealth of scenic routes and the group wasted no time in making use of them with a variety of runs on Thursday evening. Extreme Pictionary made its return, albeit with the Yeti being transformed into a "caveman driving a Bentley".
Friday began with a trip to a local pool, followed in the afternoon by an easy out and back along the Derwent Walk local disused railway trail and Dutty's core session (complete with Paulin's timing/commentary). Friday evening saw Paulin's famous chicken curry before the arrival of Joe Dugdale.
Woodsy then went on to join Noah, Tim and Aidan at the Simonside Fell race on Saturday, with the latter two claiming 3rd and 1st place respectively, but not before Dutty became first finisher at this week's Gibside parkrun, missing out on the course record by a mere 21s! There were solid performances also from Connor, Helene, Claire and Ellen with the ladies acquiring an impressive 1,2,3! The rest of us began our session an hour later with 1 mile tempo followed by 2 or 3 each of 4 and 2 minute efforts. After more running that afternoon, we assembled for pizza in the café at 18:00. Unfortunately, two dozen pizza orders proved too much for the National Trust to handle and the alcohol consumed by the time they had arrived at 20:00 laid the foundations for the events of later that night. More on that from our Social Secretary: Tim Harrison.
Sunday morning featured some impressive mileage nonetheless, with all except Woodsy surviving unscathed. There was a well navigated 10 miles around Chopwell woods as well as a 14 mile 1474ft run through the Pennines from Stanhope. Sunday afternoon was spent proving you're never too old for the low ropes, with Dutty, Sam and Dani finding new ways to make the course more challenging. Sunday was quiz night, with Woodsy and Paulin taking us through a wealth of OUCCC trivia from how to be a supple leopard to last year's Varsity results.
On Monday, there was more swimming, along with several morning and afternoon runs. Those who didn't go swimming enjoyed a few games of hats, featuring Dutty's "savagery" and an impressive number of references to Garforth given his absence. The evening featured an OUCCC singalong inc top hits such as "Luuuuk Metselaaar!!!!!!!!!!!" and "No Sympathy For Oli Paulin".
Before leaving on Tuesday it was time for our second session. 2 miles at tempo followed by a pyramid (30,60,90,120,90,60,30 [1'' jog]). The session was well run by all and marked the end of a successful 6 days of training; well done to all!
An enormous thank you to all those who helped organise the camp. In particular to Club Captain Helene Greenwood and Men's Captain Oliver Paulin for their tremendous efforts in organising the camp! Thanks also to all those who helped ferry people to/from the station, those who helped produce copious amounts of wonderful food, those who baked beforehand and indeed to everyone who came for making all the Freshers feel so welcome and for sharing so much useful advice. A huge thank you also to Lesley Byrant for travelling all the way up north to administer deep tissue therapy as well as a fantastic workshop on Friday.
The last weekend of July saw OUCCC host its annual Iffley Festival of Miles, with this being the second year running that the club has organised the entirety of the event. 2018 would prove to be a special occasion indeed with Iffley Road being the home of the first sub-4-minute mile and Sir Roger Bannister's passing in March of this year, which merited the inclusion of the flagship race of the BMC 'Sir Roger Bannister Memorial Mile' series.
The Iffley Festival of Miles races were scheduled first, preceding those of the BMC, and OUAC's Matt Newton took first place in the 600m A race in a time of 1.25.71, whilst Penny Oliver took gold in the B race with 1.43.02. The more popular Open Mile races followed the 600s with several past and present OUCCC members competing. A stacked B race included Steven Diggin, Connor McGuirk, Chris Hutchinson and Flo Scrafton. Steven and Connor managed to be well under 5 minutes while Chris just missed out by a second. Flo ran a 5.07, but this was only her first event of the day. Kirk Smith made the cut for the A race and finished in 4th place, boasting a time of 4.33.35.
The final Iffley Miles race was a rather diminished 3000m with only around half of the entries making the start line, although both Oxford and Cambridge athletes lined up in unfavourable conditions. Ten athletes overcame the wind with Joe Woods and Lea Roumazeilles in dark blue and Jacob Brockmann, Su-Min Lee and Lauren Major wearing the minty green of Cambridge.
The BMC Regional meet made up the second part of the afternoon with the 800m races first up. Few PBs were to be had in the men's races where the fastest time on the day was 1.53.18 from Edward Dodd of Portsmouth, but the women's races drew much more Achilles attention. Isabelle Scott and Dani Chattenton of OUAC ran the A race with Issy finishing in an impressive 3rd in 2.11.14, whilst Dani was the only woman to pick up a PB in the field. Niamh Bridson-Hubbard of Cambridge was 4th in the B race and Flo Scrafton bagged a SB in the C race, having already ran a mile!
A minute of silence was then held in honour of the late Sir Roger Bannister before the eagerly anticipated Mile races in which we hoped a replication of his feat would be achieved some 64 years on. The A race was stacked with quality; Phil Norman, Jonny Hay, Josh Carr, Jamie Parkinson and Phil Crout, to name but a few. Norman took the win after a battle with Carr but no sub-4 time was to be had unfortunately. The wind had played its part, nevertheless six out of nine athletes recorded a PB or SB. There was not even a place in the A race for Oliver Fox of Cambridge, who took the B race win in 4.17, managing to out-kick James Coxon of the same university. Miles Chandler also featured and ran a SB.
The 2018 event was a huge success in its second year of total OUCCC control despite unfavourable weather conditions in what could only be described as unfortunate timing after having several weeks in a row of only sunshine. Many thanks to Helene, Alex, Charlotte, Oliver, all the officials and the OUCCC pacers on the day for providing such a memorable day of athletics. Thank you also to everyone who made a contribution to the Autonomic Charitable Trust at the event, since this is a charity of which Sir Roger was a founding trustee, and he chose to dedicate his post-athletics academic career to developing the field of autonomic medicine.
We're all choppers aren't we?

One thing I will say about myself is that I am a nerd. I love the fantastical world that books, movies, and video games throw you in. I am inspired by the art and freedom the fictional world gives, which is one reason why I enjoy shooting Cosplay. Being able to make these characters come to life is really exciting, and satisfies my inner 12 old. However, I still tear out pages of fashion magazines and geek out over lighting, and try to figure out how the photographer captured the light and his subject. My passion is portrait photography and making art with my camera. I love directing first and DSLR ,yearmodels, and making my artistic vision become a reality.
I've been blessed to meet so many people during my journey, and I can't wait to see what life throws at me next.

Mike Tyson Spoke at a High School and Most Kids Only Knew Him as the Guy From 'The Hangover'
ByChris Yuscavage
News Editor. @cyuscavage
If you're over the age of, say, 30, then you know Mike Tyson as one of the baddest boxers of all time. Yes, he's 50 now, and yes, it's been more than a decade since he's been inside of a boxing ring for a fight. But still: He's Mike freaking Tyson! How do you know him as anything other than a legendary boxer?!
If you're under the age of 30, though, or better yet, if you're still in high school, there's a good chance that you didn't get the opportunity to see Tyson fight in his prime. So you probably know Tyson as the guy who made you laugh in The Hangover movies.
Tyson himself didn't necessarily realize that this generational gap existed until he went to talk at a high school recently. While speaking with Sports Illustrated for a new feature story, he said that he visited the school to deliver a speech to about 1,000 kids. But when he arrived, he quickly realized that most of the kids at the school only knew him for his role in The Hangover series. In fact, he told SI, the school actually had to set up a projector and show some of his biggest fights just to prove to the kids that he was an accomplished boxer at one time.
Mike Tyson the boxer? Nope. To high schoolers, he's just the actor from "The Hangover" https://t.co/Bmj5Mj5qew pic.twitter.com/ftw354BmOu
— Sports Illustrated (@SInow) September 20, 2016
"This is a real humbling experience," he said during his SI interview. "I went to this high school. Six hundred kids in the room, 700 kids, maybe 1,000. They had this big screen, giant, 10-by-10. They were showing the kids some of my fights because they didn't know who I was. They just thought I was an actor from The Hangover. This one little Mexican kid said, 'I think my grandfather told me about you.' Never in my life am I going to forget that. You talk about a humbling experience."
Wow. This isn't necessarily surprising, since most teenagers today weren't even born back when Tyson was taking part in his most memorable fights. But it must make the over-30 crowd feel extra old.
Elsewhere in his SI interview, Tyson talked about taking his kids to tennis lessons, traveling around the world to put on his one-man show, Undisputed Truth, and more. Go here to read the full Q&A.
