Keighley and District Business Awards
Award Ceremony celebrates the good business news stories of Keighley and counteracts negative perceptions of the town.
Set up seven years ago to ensure the many good news stories about Keighley and district businesses were celebrated, the Keighley and Airedale Business Awards has gone from strength to strength.
And the recent 2019 awards at the town's Victoria Hall clearly demonstrated that, with a sell out audience enjoying a night of entertainment and networking compered by BBC presenter Harry Gration.
Guests at the black-tie event included MP John Grogan, Keighley town mayor Cllr Peter Corkindale, and Bradford Council leader Cllr Susan Hinchcliffe. The Lord Mayor of Bradford, Councillor Doreen Lee, officially opened the ceremony.
One of the co-chairman of the awards organising committee, Howard Martin, said negative perceptions of the town and the district had inspired the idea of setting up an awards event.
"The area as a whole didn't really shout out about its success stories. Keighley and the whole of the Bradford district was getting a bit of a negative press, when there were numerous success stories from the business side,"
Howard Martin- Co Chairman
"So we thought okay, let's raise the profile and shout about what's good about the area."
The event was initially purely for Keighley, but it was extended to the whole of the Aire Valley two years ago.
"It's gone from strength to strength," said Howard. "The past two years have been total sell outs."
As well as the awards themselves, the evening also includes live music, and the bar remains open afterwards to allow those attending to stay behind and network.
"It was pleasing to see such a large number of people staying behind after the actual awards celebrating their success and networking this year," he said.
"It's succeeded beyond what we could have hoped for. It's doubled in size. We've taken the decision to try and make it better every year rather than bigger – we'd struggle to find a venue that would take more people."
Howard, of Respond Marketing, is co-chair of the committee with Stephen Burles, of Puddle Agency. The committee made up of other business people from the district.
Look North presenter Harry, who has been involved with the awards since their second year, said: "This is one of the very best awards events and a privilege to cover."
He also paid tribute to the work of Keighley Business Club, which was the headline sponsor for the ceremony.
The prized Overall Business of the Year awarded went to Keighley construction company RN Wooler & Co Ltd, which also took the Small and Medium-sized Business of the Year title.
Since the family firm was founded in 1985 by managing director Norman Wooler, it has grown into a multi-million operation with a directly-employed workforce of around 250.

"The area as a whole didn't really shout out about its success stories. Keighley and the whole of the Bradford district was getting a bit of a negative press, when there were numerous success stories from the business side," he said.

The recently released Galaxy S8 flagships seem to break the previous records everywhere since Samsung Electronics America also reported a 30 percent year-over-year growth in pre-orders.
Samsung Galaxy S8 and its companion known as Galaxy S8 Plus are not perfect, but both flagships have been well received, and the pre-orders hit new highs in most markets. As expected, the US is no exception, but the gap between the new record and last year's Galaxy S7/S7 Edge pre-orders is quite impressive.
According to an email that Samsung Electronic America's President and COO Tim Baxter recently sent, the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ managed to achieve "more than 30 percent year-over-year growth in pre-orders versus the record pre-orders we had with Galaxy S7." Sadly, he did not reveal the detailed figures.
The Galaxy S8 flagships have no problems with their battery, but their display. A red tint has been reported many times, and Samsung claims this is nothing more but a software issue that would be fixed by an update soon.
Those who skip the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ now will be able to get the Note 8 this fall, especially large screen lovers, since the next-gen Note is expected to feature a 6.4-inch display.

Auger-Aliassime powers past Tsitsipas into Queen's semis
LONDON (Reuters) - A tantalising glimpse of a future men's tennis rivalry ended with Canadian teenager Felix Auger-Aliassime beating Stefanos Tsitsipas to become the youngest player in 20 years to reach the semi-finals of the Queen's Club championships on Friday.
Tennis - ATP 500 - Fever-Tree Championships - The Queen's Club, London, Britain - June 21, 2019 Canada's Felix Auger Aliassime in action during his quarter final match against Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas Action Images via Reuters/Tony O'Brien
The 18-year-old continued a remarkable year with 7-5 6-2 defeat of the floppy-haired Greek who most believe is the most likely of the new generation to start winning Grand Slams.
He is the youngest player to reach the semis at the prestigious Wimbledon warm-up tournament since Lleyton Hewitt, also 18 in 1999. Given the way he has taken to the London lawns, it would be no surprise if he emulated Boris Becker who famously won the title as a 17-year-old in 1985.
Blocking his path next will be 37-year-old Spaniard Feliciano Lopez, the 2017 Queen's champion, who prevented an all-Canadian semi-final by beating Milos Raonic 4-6 6-4 7-6(5).
In the other side of the draw fourth seed Daniil Medvedev became the first Russian to reach the semi-finals of the tournament in the professional era as he had too much firepower for Argentina's Diego Schwartzman.
Medvedev, 23, used his skidding ground strokes to great effect in a 6-2 6-2 win. He will play Frenchmen Gilles Simon who beat compatriot Nicolas Mahut 7-6(5) 5-7 7-6(3) in a match lasting three hours 20 minutes.
"It's great to be the first Russian to be in the semi-finals and a bit surprising, maybe it's the first time I made history! Now I want to put the bar a bit higher," Medvedev, who is at a career-high 13 in the rankings, said.
BUSY SCHEDULE
Teenager Auger-Aliassime was ranked outside the top 100 at the start of the year but has rocketed up the charts to 21.
Despite playing his third match in 24 hours after rain delays earlier in the week, he looked as fresh as a daisy against world number six Tsitsipas, who lacked his usual spark after a similarly busy schedule on Thursday.
Auger-Aliassime, who mixes easy power off both wings, athleticism and a heavy-duty serve, had already seen off Grigor Dimitrov and Nick Kyrgios on his Queen's debut.
And once he had staved off a couple of break points early on against Tsitsipas and pounced to break in the 12th game he dominated to maintain the hold over the Greek he beat three times when they met as juniors.
The Canadian broke in the second game of the second set and a weary-looking Tsitsipas, who required some treatment on his shoulder, faded fast.
Afterwards, a candid Tsitsipas claimed Auger-Aliassime was a better player than him, despite leading him in the rankings and being the youngest player to have wins over Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.
"He's the most difficult opponent I've ever faced, and I think it's going to take a couple of tries to beat him," Tsitsipas said. "I have to accept that he's better than me."
Auger-Aliassime, remarkably composed for someone so young, played down those comments, but oozes confidence.
"I think this year I just kind of found my rhythm, I just found my beat, and I think I have been on the right track," Auger-Aliassime, who had never played a Tour level grasscourt tournament before reaching the final in Stuttgart last week, said. "I feel I can go all the way here."
Home favourite Andy Murray, back from a six-month injury lay-off, was in late evening action with Lopez in the doubles but bad light intervened as they led 6-4 4-5 against British pair Dan Evans and Ken Skupski.

Information about exhibition
Władysław Radziwiłłowicz all – inclusive
Author: Inga Kopciewicz, Władysław Radziwiłłowicz
Location of the exhibition: Granaries – 7-11 Grodzka Street
Exhibition opens till: 2014-01-26
The works of Władysław Radziwiłłowicz are based on the painting analysis of image entangled in "media reality." Image (pictogram, logo, technical drawing, illustration, poster, advertising photograph) has always been and continues to be a powerful means of nonverbal persuasion, effectively placing and preserving in public awareness useful information, mainly of commercial nature.
Władysław Radziwiłłowicz is a graduate of the State Higher Education School of Visual Arts in Poznań (presently, the University of Arts in Poznań). He graduated with honors in the field of studio graphics and painting in 1996. His career is tied with his alma mater, where he works as an assistant professor in the Department of Drawing in the Faculty of Painting. In 2009, he defended his doctoral dissertation "Phenomenon of Image as an Effect of Simultaneous Reading of the World." He also works as a teacher in the Design Department of the J. and J Śniadecki University of Technology and Life Sciences in Bydgoszcz. Works made by the artist are in private collections in Poland, USA and Japan. His paintings have been shown at a dozen or so solo and group exhibitions in the country and abroad.
As far as content is concerned, the exhibition is an artistic reflection of the author on the Image co-creating the "media reality." Enticing, compelling admiration and desire, entertaining and suggesting a "perfect solution," the Image co-creates the Promise of a global "better world." According to the artist, this "better world" reminds a perfect mythical world, abounding in beauty, eternal youth and happiness – a free-market Garden of Eden. Looking at the most characteristic features of "media image," such as an edition of several thousand copies (original / replica?), the category of mimesis (photography as the guarantee of credibility), attractiveness, message, time of exposure, way of its "reading," function and recycling as an inevitable, final stage of existence, are supposed to convince the viewer to reflect upon the condition of Image, and indirectly to reflect upon the condition of an individual living in today's metropolis.

Shaktikazahn says:
Aggro-Phobia is the fourth studio album by Suzi Quatro, recorded in the Autumn of It is the only one of her albums to be co-produced by Mickie Most. The song "Tear Me Apart" reached No. 27 on the UK singles chart in October Writing for Bomp!, music critic Ken Barnes called it "excellent" and "superior to [her] earlier hits".
Gokinos says:
EMI's Greatest Hits starts off as any Suzi Quatro collection should, with the stunning one-two punch of "Can the Can" and "48 Crash" followed by the cat-scratch glam boogie of "Daytona Demon" and "Devil Gate Drive." From there the rest of the disc collects some of Suzi's best rockers and ballads, providing a wide-angle view of her stellar career.
Gacage says:
Quatro recorded an album in and released a new single in called "Tear Me Apart" which reached the UK Top 30, her first hit to have done so in three years. It would take another year for another big hit, this time with a change to a more mellow style [12] giving Quatro a single " If You Can't Give Me Love " that became a hit there.

A couple weeks ago, I went to my 27th country. It was the first time I reached my age "level" (I'm 27), and I will soon get beyond it when I will land in the United Arabs Emirates on the 17th of October.
But my 27th country isn't just any country. It's a country that doesn't exist. The Republic of Artsakh.
Stuck in between Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran, this self-proclaimed state is not recognized by any member of the UN and doesn't appear on any world map. Officially, we are in Azerbaijan, in the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
Stepanakert is the capital of the Republic of Artsakh, which covers the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
But on the field, since 1991, reality says otherwise. This small piece of mountainous land is obviously autonomous (although highly dependant on its Armenian neighbour). With its 150 000 inhabitants being ethnically Armenians, apostolic Christians and having their own dialect, the Republic of Artsakh doesn't have much in common with Azerbaijan and is only accessible through Armenia. Founded by a people who survived a genocide, braved deportations and underwent the biggest empires of the last two millennia, it offers a stunning historical and symbolic landscape.
There is almost something fairy to it.
Here, people are proud to be – with Armenia – the oldest Christian country in the world.
Here, the people has been under the dominance of the Persians and the Romans, the Turks and the Russians, the Ottomans and the Soviets before being given to Azerbaijan and finally, in 1994, take arms to win back the land it had always lived in.
Here, millenary Orthodox churches and Iranian mosques still stand in the same village.
Here, they grow fruits on what was still landmines a couple decades ago. Mostly pomegranate (which is ironic in French since it's litterally called "grenade").
Here, with a national assembly, and army and a de facto autonomy, people claim their right to self-determination but can't seem to get an official support from any country in the world.
Here, the monument erected at the entrance of Artsakh's capital city and considered as the national emblem is named "We are our mountains".
27 countries in 27 years is obviously not a record. But to the slow pace of the last years, spending about two months per country, my interest for History, politics and open spaces has always been filled.
Stretch your presence in some place, as if you were part of that spot on the globe, only if for a moment. As if you were planting your roots here and there, as if you were learning about your own past as a human being, about a reality that evades us constantly.
That place, lost between Europe, Asia and the Middle East, certainly adds a little something ineffable to it.

Regarded as the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates was quoted saying this over 2,000 years ago. Yet interest regarding the gut's role in the development of diseases outside of the digestive tract has only become popular in the most recent decades. What researchers are finding, though, is that an unhealthy gut can be a contributing factor to serious diseases, such as diabetes, depression, inflammatory conditions, certain autoimmune disorders, diverticulitis,and constipation.
It is evident that your gut, or gastrointestinal (GI) tract, is one of the most important organ systems in your body. Although its main responsibility is to digest food, the gut is intricately involved in various other organ systems of the human body.
For example, your gut makes up 75% of your immune system. Additionally, there is an entire sector of the nervous system devoted to the gastrointestinal tract, called the enteric nervous system, which consists of over 500 million neurons. These neurons release the same neurotransmitters as your brain does, which explains why you often get a "gut feeling" about something or "feel butterflies" in your stomach. Your gut has so many functions that it has even been called "the second brain".
So what does all of this have to do with taking care of your gut? Essentially, an unhealthy gut can wreak havoc on the entire body. Besides typical symptoms of GI distress (bloating, cramping, nausea, etc.), you may also feel tired, depressed, and inflamed. Furthermore, an unhealthy gut can predispose you to developing serious life-altering diseases. To keep your digestive tract functioning properly, this article will outline the two main factors that determine the health of your gut along with tips on how to take care of your gut.
While bacteria may not sound like a good thing, bacteria residing in the gut, called the gut flora, is completely normal. In fact, the gut flora is necessary for many important processes, including digestion, metabolism, vitamin synthesis, defending against pathogens, etc.
Another way you can take care of the gut is to supplement your good bacteria by taking a probiotic. Probiotics are formulations either in capsule, powder, or liquid form that contain different strains of good bacteria. Drug store shelves seem to be overflowing with different types and brands of probiotics, which can make choosing the best one for you a daunting task. The most studied strains of bacteria used in probiotics are the Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces species, so it is often recommended to look for products that contain these strains.
The gut acts as a barrier during the process of digestion: it breaks down food and other substances that are ingested, then only absorbs the nutrients and fuel that the body needs. Anything not absorbed by the digestive tract is, as we know, eliminated through the other end, which is one way pathogens and other foreign substances are prevented from entering the bloodstream. Additionally, gut flora play a role in the gut barrier through several different mechanisms. One is by preventing pathogens from adhering to the epithelial lining of the tract and subsequently entering the bloodstream.
The gut barrier can become disrupted in a condition known as "leaky gut syndrome," which occurs when large substances that normally cannot permeate the intestinal lining leak into the bloodstream. (WebMD) Evidence suggests that increased intestinal permeability plays a pathogenic role in the development of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease.
An important way you can take care of your gut is to eliminate foods and toxins that can cause leaky gut syndrome.
By eliminating these causative factors you can help restore the integrity of the gut barrier. However, it might not be possible to completely eliminate all of these factors from your lifestyle. If that is the case, there are certain foods and supplements you can take to help in maintaining a healthy gut barrier. Examples include fermentable fibers (starches like sweet potato, yam, etc.) and fermented foods (yogurt, sauerkraut, bone broth).
There are also several lifestyle modifications that can help you take care of your gut, which include reducing your consumption of caffeinated beverages, limiting alcohol intake, quitting smoking, and taking steps to manage your stress.

Ferrer standing taller than ever at 30
The world No.5 has already picked up five titles in 2012 and took another positive step after edging Janko Tipsarevic in a five set epic to reach his second Grand Slam semi-final of the year at the US Open. Seeking to add to his titles in Bastad, s-Hertogenbosch, Acapulco, Buenos Aires and Auckland before the year is out, the Spaniard is in no doubt about the factors that have helped play a part in his recent fortunes.
"I don't have, never in my career, important injuries," Ferrer said. "I'm playing with great confidence. I am older. I don't have too much pressure [like] when I was 20-years-old. I'm enjoying playing tennis. I have much more experience than other years."
Ferrer has beaten Kevin Anderson, Igor Sijsling, Lleyton Hewitt, Richard Gasquet and Janko Tipsarevic en route to his fourth career Grand Slam semi-final, adding to his efforts in reaching the last four at this year's French Open, the 2011 Australian Open and the 2007 US Open.
"Now I'm in the semi-finals I want to enjoy this moment," added the 30-year-old right-hander, who faces Novak Djokovic on Saturday night. "Of course, my next opponent is an amazing player. I will try to do my best and I will try to fight. I will have to play my best tennis to beat [him]."
Ferrer has won five of his 13 career ties with Djokovic and the defending champion is not underestimating the size of the obstacle in front of him despite prevailing in all three of their past Grand Slam meetings in straight sets.
"David is a fighter," said the world No.2. "He's one of the biggest competitors we have in the game. People do not talk too much [about him]. They overlook him. But he has been one of the most consistent players on the tour. He plays great on every surface and you need to earn your points against him."


Prior to the financial crisis of 2008, inter-national regulatory policy tended to promote the need for more efficient and stronger securities markets; however, the crisis underlined the need to find a balance between efficiency and safety. It also revealed problems arising from a lack of transparency, which has since led to a recalibration of regulatory objectives. As a result of this shift in policy objectives, reporting requirements have become a key component of much current and forthcoming regulation.
This paper looks at the effects that regulatory reforms will have on two key reporting mechanisms: regulatory reporting and intermediated securities reporting. It outlines the challenges that lie ahead and explains how global standards are needed to harmonise requirements and improve the transparency of intermediated holding models across jurisdictions.

The Narrow Margin (1952)
Posted on November 22, 2018 by 4StarFilmFan
The Narrow Margin is comprised of tight and lean drama where every bit of film is used judiciously. This should rightfully earn it respect as one of the preeminent shoestring budget films of all time within any genre.
Because it's easy to admire films that do a fine job with a plethora of resources and financial capital but what about those pictures working with very little? It seems like concocting something special with limited resources should be considered even more impressive. If you follow this logic, The Narrow Margin is an unrivaled success — a micro-budget masterpiece — that does a great deal to separate itself from the pack of lesser B-grade crime pictures.
Richard Fleischer gets lost among the big-named directors tagged to the big-named productions but when it came to small pictures he made some pretty decent ones and The Narrow Margin just might be one of the finest B pictures, period. But I think I already said that. Still, it's worth saying twice.
If we had anything close to a star it would be Charles McGraw as a cop named Brown who has been assigned a case along with his veteran partner (Don Beddoe), an assignement neither one of them particularly relishes. They've been burdened with the task of protecting the widow (Marie Windsor) of a notorious gangster who has agreed to be the key witness before a grand jury.
It's an extremely dangerous proposition as there's a whole network of syndicate members who don't want their names to get out. They're ready to stop this mystery dame at any cost and by any means necessary.
The opening lines of dialogue come off as idle patter but they set up the entire scenario as the two policemen get ready to pick up the woman who will cause immense complication in their professional lives.
It's a simple question really: What kind of woman would marry a gangster? Meanwhile, there's a tension in the air and conflict pervading the film. Every waking minute is blessed with an air of constant confusion. Identities of everyone are all but in question. We don't quite know what's going on. We're in the same place as the cops and that's the key.
What follows is an astonishingly intense and immersive storyline that has no right to be either of those things. Still, it's an undeniable fact. Faceless criminals in fur-lined coats lurk in the shadows ready to fill men full of lead. Tails loiter ominously at train stations for their mark. Men snoop around train cars trying to find out secrets. Lives are constantly in jeopardy. There's not a moments peace for the chronically paranoid cops or the audience.
The majority of the picture takes place aboard a train bound for Los Angeles with the danger being crammed into a limited space with good guys and bad guys constantly trying to evade and outwit each other. They all vie for the upper hand in this continuously see-sawing game of cat and mouse. Because in simple terms that's what it is. A cinematic game of cat and mouse.
But The Narrow Margin proves to be a fine train noir for the contours it develops to help strengthen this basic premise. It's a rumbling ride complete with a fat man to stop up all the passageways, acerbic dames, and suspicious young boys wary of train robbers. It has character beyond a rudimentary crime film and that's immeasurably difficult to convey in 73 minutes of celluloid. But Earl Felton's script manages this near impossible feat.
For other films, the limited space would cause the action to become stagnant even tepid whereas, in this picture, those precise elements are turned on their heads as a true advantage. Though the film is starkly different, the original Alien (1979) similarly used consolidated space to hike the tension to uncomfortable heights. You get the same sense here.
But the great films also aren't completely straightforward. Their rhythms might look familiar but they play against our preconceived expectations, thus allowing us to enjoy their bits of intrigue and the added payoffs they're able to deliver. However, whether are not you're able to predict everything that gets thrown at you is beside the point because the true satisfaction comes in the overall rush of the experience. This one is a gem, a diamond pulverized under filth and grime only to come out scintillating. Enjoy it for what it is.

Shortly after joining Porter Wright, Tom Jones has been featured in the Law360 article, "Porter Wright Snags Ex-Jones Day Atty For Pittsburgh Office," regarding his recent hire in the firm's growing Pittsburgh office.
"Jones, who said he stepped away from Jones Day at the end of 2016 to work on his own with some individual clients, told Law360 on Monday that he was excited to have a chance to help Porter Wright build its new presence in Pittsburgh.
"'I was extremely excited about the possibility of growing the office of a venerable Ohio firm here in western Pennsylvania, and when given that opportunity I thought it was a great thing,' he said."


Workers who have a reliable schedule at work are more likely to be happy compared to those who don't, according to a study from the University of California-Berkeley and University of California-San Francisco.
The report, published in SAGE Journals, examined some of the most common scheduling practices used by 80 of the largest retailers in the US. Nearly 28,000 retail and food-service workers were interviewed to find out how such policies can affect their performance.
Staff who received more than two weeks' notice of their schedule were found to be 75% more likely to be happy. Meanwhile, those who had only two days' notice of their schedule or less had a 65% likelihood of being happy.
The findings suggest that having uncertain work schedules can have a more strongly predictive impact on the health and wellbeing of workers than hourly wages.
Senior policy analyst Alix Gould-Werth of the Washington Center for Equitable Growth said workers prefer following certain schedules at their jobs.
"When workers do not know what their schedule will be, they cannot plan out their time to accommodate school attendance, second-job holding, or family obligations," she explained.
Gould-Weath said schedules end up depending on how employers perceive the ebbs and flows of consumer demand. This results in work hours becoming irregular and unpredictable.
Because of this, lawmakers in the US have begun cracking down on such practices. Legislations have been passed to force companies to implement a more predictable scheduling for their employees.
Only 39% of workers interviewed said they have regular work schedules. About 14% of participants claimed they had a shift cancelled on them a month before they took part in the survey.
Half of the workers said they had been part of "clopening" shifts, a practice where staff had to work the closing shift the night before they had to open the store. Those who work "clopening" shifts were 67% more likely to suffer from poor sleep quality.
One in four retail workers said they have on-call scheduling. This means they have to be able to work on certain days despite not having a guaranteed shift assignment or pay. Employees who were given such schedules were 9.2 percentage points less likely to report of being happy at work.

ISPOR's Organizational Values
Diversity Is a Performance Issue
Diversity is not simply the right thing to do. Diversity is a performance issue. Research has demonstrated that diversity of all types improves performance.1 ISPOR believes that diversity will improve both the Society and the science of health economics and outcomes research (HEOR).
Diversity Dimensions
Since its inception, ISPOR has recognized the importance of diversity and has actively worked to improve diversity of all types. As a global, multistakeholder organization, ISPOR's diversity focus includes a variety of diversity dimensions, including (but not limited to) gender, career stage, ethnicity, race, education, sexual orientation, regional/geographic location, physical disability, religion, and more.
Diversity Policy and Initiatives
ISPOR's board of directors recently approved a diversity policy to formalize the Society's position on diversity. Diversity themes are currently incorporated into many ISPOR groups and initiatives, including the Society's:
Governance initiatives
Board of directors' code of conduct
Chapter agreements
Nominations committee standard operating procedures (SOPs) and guidelines
Working group SOPs and guidelines
Board of directors, councils, working groups, and staff
Conference SOPs that encourage session speaker diversity
Conference accommodations (eg, nursing mother rooms, prayer rooms, meal accommodations)
New Professionals network
Women in HEOR initiative
The Society is committed to diversity in its leadership and all activities that reflect its exceptionally diverse global, multistakeholder membership. True change, however, requires the efforts of the HEOR community. Click on the button below to find out more about how you can make a difference.

Students, law prof want RIAA trial live and online
The group of Harvard Law students defending one Joel Tenenbaum in an RIAA …
Nate Anderson - Jan 8, 2009 4:15 am UTC
with 0 posters participating
Back in October, we covered the case of Joel Tenenbaum, a Boston graduate student accused by the RIAA of sharing copyrighted music as "sublimeguy14" on KaZaA. Tenenbaum did not go quietly into that dark night; instead, he offered the RIAA a settlement of $500. The music lobby declined, and it took Tenenbaum to court.
But Tenenbaum decided to fight the case, and he lined up the support of Harvard Law's Charles Nesson and his class of law students. Not content with simply taking on the Tenenbaum case, Nesson & Co. have attacked the entire legal underpinning of the RIAA's litigation strategy, charging that massive damage awards are unconstitutionally high and that the RIAA is operating as a "private police force" by pursuing what are essentially criminal cases.
And they have done so in prose that is nothing if not distinctive for a legal filing: "Is the law just the grind of the statutory machine to be carried out by a judge and jury as cogs in the machine, or do judge and jury claim the right and duty and power of constitution and conscience to do justice?" asks one. You get the idea.
Now, they want the whole trial broadcast on the Internet.
Let's do it live
With the case now before the judge, Nesson and his students are now making a strong push for an unusual request: they want the entire case made available digitally over the Internet. The Harvard team wants to stream the trial live and record it for later use. They tried this yesterday during a hearing, but the judge said no; the larger issue about whether the trial itself can be broadcast won't be settled for a few more days.
Charles Nesson
The RIAA has asked for additional time to respond to the proposal, but according to the "joelfightsback" Twitter account, that request has been denied. RIAA lawyers must file their response by January 12.
Apart from the recording issue, the other pretrial issue that is concerning the Harvard team involves Tenenbaum's computer. Well, not his computer, exactly—his parents' computer. The music industry apparently believes that Tenenbaum conducted at least some of his alleged downloading when home from school, and it wants to image the hard drive of the parents' machine to find out.
At yesterday's hearing on the matter (the one where the judge refused to allow recording), Nesson told the court, "You can hardly imagine anything more intrusive than asking anyone to disgorge a computer." (The AP has a nice writeup of the hearing.) No ruling was made, however.
The odd case (the RIAA subpoenaed Tenenbaum's family members as well, asking them to turn over any burned CDs Joel may have given them in the past) continues to grind on, and Nesson wonders why. Given that the RIAA says it is abandoning its widespread lawsuits, why would it not simply drop the case?
On December 19, 2008, Nesson (whose Twitter account bills him as the "dean of cyberspace") tweeted into the ether, "joel just sent me the slashdot piece saying riaa is stopping its attack campaign except for cases already pending. why that choice."
He soon had his answer when RIAA President Cary Sherman sent him a note saying, "I hope you understand that we can't just walk away from cases we've filed. Doesn't mean we want to litigate everything, we'd obviously prefer not to. If you have any thoughts on a resolution, I'd be all ears. Sorry I couldn't tell you months ago that we were getting out of the lawsuits, but I'm sure you understand."
Nesson's response? "i don't really understand why you are continuing the litigation, but if that's your position then i ask you to agree to our motion, just filed, to admit internet to the courtroom, and then to join with me in making the trial the best possible example of civil discourse within the rules of federal civil procedure." (Nesson is not, it should be noted, a fan of capital letters.)
And that's where we stand at the moment. The RIAA has stopped suing (for now), though the cases against Tenenbaum and others continue apace. Nesson wants the trial broadcast to the world, while the RIAA considers the question. Assuming that the RIAA's goal all along has been in large part educational, one could hardly imagine something more educational to millions of file-swappers than watching a high-profile trial live on the web, but we shall see what we shall see.
For now, Tenenbaum is rallying his faithful through a Facebook group. 2009 should show us a host of surprising events, but one worth watching will be the attempt by some Harvard Law students—armed with Web 2.0—to see if they can take on the recording industry and win.

This 'pocket-book' is a summary of the book "Anthology of African photography" with 78 portfolios of African photographers on 208 pages.
"Africa by Africans" (L'Afrique par Elle-Même) is a first approach to sub-Saharan African photography in the XXth century, with major photographers of the African continent. A look from 1870 to today on the precursors, the portrait photographers, the official agencies, photographs of Independence, the images of today and artistic research.
Jean Loup Pivin and Pascal Martin Saint Leon first deal with the role of photography in Africa, another practice of making the image, shared by all in an almost complete anonymity, which can alter the look and revives the millennium heart of representation.
Anne-Marie Bouttiaux (curator at the Central Africa Museum in Tervuren, Belgium) shows the influences between different arts, the Senegalese souwers and portrait photography of Mama Casset.
Alain D'Hooghe (photo curator) situates the place of the portrait in photography and shows that the portrait has identified an identifying image at the time abused by the spirit of "colonizing" of various European photographers.
