A Blockchain-Backed Database for Qualified Parts
Certain standard parts in the aerospace industry require qualification as a prerequisite to manufacturing, signifying that the manufacturer's capacity to produce parts consistent with the performance specifications has been audited by a neutral third-party auditor, key customer, and/or group of customers. In at least some cases, a certifying authority provides manufacturers with certificates of qualification which they can then present to prospective customers, and/or lists qualified suppliers in a Qualified Parts List or Qualified Supplier List available from that qualification authority. If this list is in an infrequently updated and/or inconsistently styled format as might be found in a print or PDF document, potential customers wishing to integrate qualification information into their supplier tracking systems must use a potentially error-prone manual process that could lead to later reliance on out-of-date or even forged data.
AIRCRAFT DATA INTERFACE FUNCTION (ADIF)
ARINC834-8
This document defines an Aircraft Data Interface Function (ADIF) developed for aircraft installations that incorporate network components based on commercially available technologies. This document defines a set of protocols and services for the exchange of aircraft avionics data across aircraft networks. A common set of services that may be used to access specific avionics parameters are described. The ADIF may be implemented as a generic network service, or it may be implemented as a dedicated service within an ARINC 759 Aircraft Interface Devices (AID) such as those used with an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB). Supplement 8 includes improvements in the Aviation Data Broadcast Protocol (ADBP), adds support for the Media Independent Aircraft Messaging (MIAM) protocol, and contains data security enhancements. It also includes notification and deprecation of the Generic Aircraft Parameter Service (GAPS) protocol that will be deleted in a future supplement.

Autonomous Technologies: Applications That Matter
Over the years, the DARPA Challenges in the United States have galvanized interest in autonomous cars, making them a real possibility in the mind of the public, but autonomous and unmanned vehicles have been increasingly employed in many roles on land, in the water, and in the air. Military applications have received a great deal of attention, with weaponized unmanned aircraft (drones) being the most prominent. However, unmanned vehicles with varying degrees of autonomy already have many civilian applications. Some of these are quite familiar (such as the Roomba autonomous vacuum cleaner), while others remain largely out of the public eye (such as autonomous farm equipment). Additional applications and more capable vehicles are rapidly coming to the markets in the years ahead. This book examines a number of economically important areas in which unmanned and autonomous vehicles, also understood here as autonomous technologies, are already used or soon will be.
COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT INFORMATION SECURITY CONCEPTS OF OPERATION AND PROCESS FRAMEWORK
ARINC811
The purpose of this document is to facilitate an understanding of aircraft information security and to develop aircraft information security operational concepts. This common understanding is important since a number of subcommittees and working groups within the aeronautical industry are considering aircraft information security. This document also provides an aircraft information security process framework relating to airline operational needs that, when implemented by an airline and its suppliers, will enable the safe and secure dispatch of the aircraft in a timely manner. This framework facilitates development of cost-effective aircraft information security and provides a common language for understanding security needs.
Commercial Aviation Cyber Security: Current State and Essential Reading
In the next decade, commercial aviation will see Next Generation ATM (NextGEN), Single European Skies ATM Research (SESAR), and others utilizing Internet- based air-to-ground communication links for advanced "air traffic control" (ATC) communications. Commercial Aviation Cyber Security: Current State and Essential Reading highlights some of the major issues the industry must confront if the vision of a new, advanced air traffic management is to come to fruition. This will require standardization work to identify key components with built-in cyber security that will guide prototype testing, functionality, and prioritizing implementation efforts to solve the roadblocks to global interoperability. The ten technical papers selected for Commercial Aviation Cyber Security: Current State and Essential Reading span the last decade's work in commercial aviation cyber security, and aircraft cyber technologies.
Commercial Aviation and Cyber Security: A Critical Intersection

How to Manage the Perfect Factory or How AS6500 Can Lead To Everlasting Happiness
Why AS6500? Where did it come from? Why does it exist? Those are easy questions to answer. It came from the inspiration of angels and it exists to make your life, and your factory, more perfect. That's why, when you open the standard, you can still hear the faint echoes of the singing of angels. Actually, experts were gathered from across the country, both from the Defense Department and from industry to create the new document. They toiled away until the perfect product emerged from the fruit of their labors: Aerospace Standard AS6500, "Manufacturing Management Program," published in November 2014. How to Manage the Perfect Factory combines education and instruction with fun, laughter and motivation. The book gently pokes fun at the people and organizational barriers that the Manufacturing function must overcome to make those obstacles seem more surmountable while providing key information on implementing AS6500.
Implementation Guide for Data Management
GEIAHB859A
The federal government and industry have moved to concurrent acquisition and development processes using integrated process teams (IPTs). These processes are supported by timely, accurate, cross functional access to data within an integrated data environment (IDE) enabled by advances in information technology (IT). Since the advent of acquisition reform in 1994, Data Management (DM) practices have evolved from being directed by a prescriptive set of standards and procedures to use of the guidance in a principles-based standard -- ANSI/EIA 859.
GEIA Handbook 859 provides implementation guidance for ANSI/EIA 859, with discussions of applications of the standard's principles, tools, examples, and case studies. Handbook 859 is organized according to the lifecycle of data management and covers activities from the pre-RFP stage through records disposition.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, members of the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions, a Solidarity Center partner, tested workers for fever. Credit: PGFTU
Each year, more than 2 million workers die on the job—more than 6,000 a day worldwide. Hundreds of millions more workers a year suffer from non-fatal job-related accidents and illnesses.
The global coronavirus pandemic highlighted and exacerbated the vast inequities facing working people as many risked exposure to the virus without protective safety equipment, tending to sick patients, staffing grocery stores and driving public transport.
In partnership with the Solidarity Center, unions negotiated stepped-up protections and improved wages for workers who risked their lives on the front lines of the crisis, and supported unions as they worked with governments and employers to ensure those furloughed or laid off during the pandemic received wages and social protections such as access to food distribution and unemployment compensation.
Around the world, the Solidarity Center supports networks of unions that are pushing for workplace health and safety measures, such as in Serbia, where unions created a national network of trade union activists to improve workplace safety and health monitoring, and bargain collectively with employers to expand such protections for all workers, regardless of whether they are union members.
On April 28, workers and worker rights activists like the Solidarity Center observe World Day for Safety and Health at Work, an annual day of remembrance for workers who died or were injured on the job and a day to renew the struggle for decent work—family-supporting wages, sick leave and other benefits and safe and healthy working conditions.

The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants è uno dei primi videogiochi basati sulla serie animata I Simpson.
Pubblicato nel 1991 per i computer ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, Amiga e Atari ST dalla Ocean Software e per le console NES e Sega Master System da Acclaim Entertainment, successivamente è uscito anche per Mega Drive/Genesis e per il portatile Game Gear con l'etichetta Flying Edge, sempre legata ad Acclaim.

Trama
Springfield è segretamente attaccata dai mutanti spaziali, mostri che possono prendere il controllo dei corpi degli abitanti.
Il protagonista è Bart Simpson, l'unico che conosce il piano segreto degli alieni e per questo può sventare i loro progetti, raccogliendo o eliminando gli oggetti necessari agli alieni per costruire le loro armi e dominare il mondo.
Bart possiede in particolare un paio di occhiali a raggi X che gli permettono di individuare quali sono le persone possedute dagli alieni. Dovrà attraversare luoghi tipici di Springfield, incontrando abitanti generici e personaggi della serie, tra cui i componenti della famiglia Simpson che possono aiutare in vario modo Bart se si compiono le giuste azioni per convincerli.

Modalità di gioco
La struttura del gioco è platform bidimensionale, con scorrimento orizzontale. Bart può camminare orizzontalmente, a due diverse velocità, e saltare a due diverse altezze.
In ogni livello vi è un particolare tipo di oggetti che Bart deve raccogliere o in qualche modo eliminare in una determinata quantità (oggetti viola, cappelli, palloni, segnali di uscita, barre radioattive) prima di incontrare il boss di fine livello. Altri tipi di oggetti possono essere raccolti e messi in inventario per utilizzarli quando e dove necessario.
Bart deve evitare alieni in libertà, altri personaggi ostili e pericoli ambientali; per perdere una delle tre vite deve essere colpito due volte.

Equipaggiamenti
Bart può utilizzare una varietà di oggetti in questo gioco:

Occhiali a Raggi X: è l'oggetto principale del gioco poiché attraverso questi occhiali Bart riesce a distinguere quali sono cittadini umani e quali sono alieni che assumono le sembianze di gente comune. Saltando sopra gli alieni camuffati Bart può distruggerli e ottenere così un oggetto che corrisponde a una lettera del nome di uno dei suoi familiari. In altre parole uccidendo gli alieni completa le parole Maggie, Lisa, Marge, Homer. Una volta completato il nome, il familiare di quel livello di gioco aiuterà Bart a sconfiggere il boss. Se però Bart salta su un essere umano non posseduto ne risulterà danneggiato lui stesso.
Vernice a spruzzo: Bart utilizza la vernice a spruzzo nel livello 1 per cambiare colore agli oggetti, da viola a rosso. La vernice è limitata e si quando termina bisogna procurarsi altre bombolette.
Fionda: Bart utilizza la fionda nel livello 3 per colpire i palloni e per completare determinati giochi nel luna park.
Pistola a dardi: è utilizzata nel museo. Può colpire i segnali di uscita ed è l'unico mezzo per stordire i nemici.
Chiave inglese: La chiave è utilizzata nel livello 1 per attivare l'idrante antincendio.
Bombette: Possono far sussultare gli animali. Tuttavia, il giocatore corre il rischio di richiamare un mini pit-bull arrabbiato che produce danno a Bart.
Razzi: I razzi sono fuochi d'artificio giocattolo che possono essere utilizzati per rompere insegne luminose, finestre e per attivare altre situazioni.
Chiave: Può essere utilizzata come elemento di passaggio nel livello 1.
Fischio: Il fischio è usato per convincere Nonno Simpson a dargli le monete nel livello 1. Tuttavia, il giocatore corre il rischio di richiamare un mini pit-bull arrabbiato che produce danno a Bart
Ciambelle: Le scatole di ciambelle si trovano soltanto nel livello finale. Se usate Homer elimina tutti i nemici sullo schermo.
Altri articoli: Raccogliendo le icone di Krusty si ottiene una vita supplementare. Bart può anche raccogliere le monete per comprare le armi o per guadagnare una vita supplementare (dopo il raggiungimento delle 15 monete, al costo di 10 monete). I busti di Jebadiah Springfield danno a Bart un'immunità pochi secondi.

Livelli
Strade di Springfield: Bart nel primo livello deve raccogliere, nascondere o distruggere tutte le cose che trova di colore viola: pattumiere, vasi di fiori, portelli, idranti e insegne. Le apparizioni speciali sono di Nonno Simpson, Moe Syzlak e Jimbo Jones. Il boss finale è il Nelson Muntz, che attacca Bart con dei palloni d'acqua. Se Bart ha raccolto tutte le lettere vedrà anche Maggie che potrà essergli di aiuto tirando a Bart palloni da lanciare addosso al bullo. In questo livello c'è anche una sequenza con lo skateboard nei giardini pubblici.
Centro commerciale di Springfield: All'interno del centro commerciale Bart deve raccoglie tutti i generi di cappelli, dai copricapo, ai caschi, ai berretti da baseball. Diversamente dal livello precedente, ci sono tre mini-boss alieni. Il giocatore dovrà evitare gli ostacoli quali le scarpe da tennis viventi, caramelle gommose, ciambelle giganti e tovaglioli. Ms. Botz, la ladra che si finge babysitter, è il boss finale. Sarà Marge ad aiutare Bart.
Krustyland: Bart deve raccogliere o scoppiare i palloncini nel parco di divertimenti. Alcuni sono legati, altri stanno volando. Qui Bart può anche giocare con i giochi del parco e vincere delle vite supplementari. Lisa è l'assistente di Bart e il boss finale è Telespalla Bob, che Bart sconfigge saltandogli sui piedi.
Museo di storia naturale: Il museo è caratterizzato da una varietà di oggetti. Come il centro commerciale, il museo ha tre mini-boss che corrispondono a un'esposizione specifica: il primo è una pianta gigante nella zona della giungla, nell'esposizione dell'Egitto è una mummia e un Tyrannosaurus-rex è la conclusione del settore preistorico. Il Dott. Marvin Monroe è il boss finale e Homer aiuterà Bart a sconfiggerlo.
Centrale nucleare: Bart deve raccogliere un certo numero di barre radioattive che deve mettere nel reattore nucleare, ma ne può trasportare non più di quattro alla volta. In questo livello tutta la famiglia Simpson aiuta Bart: Lisa gli dà le combinazioni del portello, Marge trasporta le barre allo scantinato, Homer batte tutti i nemici se alimentato a ciambelle e Maggie conclude il gioco.

Kimbell Royalty Partners Announces $175 Million Acquisition of Mineral and Royalty Interests in a Cash and Unit Transaction
Expected to be immediately accretive to distributable cash flow per unit, includes core position in the Delaware Basin, expected to increase daily production by 19% to 15,790 Boe/d[1] and to generate estimated cash G&A savings of 18% per Boe
FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Kimbell Royalty Partners, LP (NYSE: KRP) ("Kimbell" or the "Company"), a leading owner of oil and gas mineral and royalty interests in approximately 13 million gross acres in 28 states, today announced that it has agreed to acquire the mineral and royalty interests held by Dallas-based Springbok Energy Partners, LLC ("SEP I") and Springbok Energy Partners II, LLC ("SEP II" and, collectively with SEP I, "Springbok") in a transaction valued at approximately $175 million, subject to purchase price adjustments (the "Acquisition"). The purchase price for the Acquisition is comprised of $95 million in cash (approximately 54% of the total consideration) and an aggregate of approximately 2.2 million common units of Kimbell and approximately 2.5 million common units of Kimbell Royalty Operating, LLC, which are together valued at $80 million2 (approximately 46% of the total consideration). Kimbell intends to raise the cash portion of the purchase price through a combination of an underwritten public offering of common units (announced substantially concurrently with this release) and borrowings under its revolving credit facility. Kimbell estimates that, as of October 1, 2019, the Springbok assets produced 2,533 Boe/d (823 Bbl/d of oil, 279 Bbl/d of NGLs and 8,584 Mcf/d of natural gas) (6:1) with an average realized cash margin of $21.92 per Boe and included 2,160 net royalty acres. The Delaware Basin represents 29% of the rig activity included in the Acquisition. The Board of Directors of Kimbell's general partner and the governing bodies of the respective Springbok entities have each unanimously approved the Acquisition, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2020, subject to customary closing conditions. The effective date of the Acquisition is October 1, 2019.
Bob Ravnaas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kimbell's general partner, said, "This is an outstanding acquisition for Kimbell and highlights our competitive advantage in acquiring large, diversified mineral and royalty portfolios. Included with this acquisition is our first meaningful addition from the Delaware Basin since our initial public offering, which is an area where we are finally seeing opportunities that we believe have the right balance of existing and future drilling locations. With many of our industry's highest quality operators actively drilling (14 rigs currently) across the acquired acreage, we are optimistic about the future development of these assets for many years to come. We have been acquiring mineral interests from Ryan Watts, President and Chief Executive Officer of Springbok Investment Management, LP, the manager of the Springbok entities, for over a decade now and have always been impressed by the quality of the acreage his team collects and the rigorous underwriting standards they employ. We are grateful for the vote of confidence that both Springbok and NGP have made in choosing to partner with Kimbell on this transaction by accepting nearly 50% of the total consideration in equity. I want to thank our employees and advisors for their hard work in getting this deal done in a challenging environment and believe this represents a strong start to consolidation in the minerals space in 2020."
Ryan Watts said, "We are incredibly proud of the entire Springbok team for successfully building an exceptional diversified portfolio consisting of high-growth, low-risk mineral and royalty assets and view the transaction as a great outcome for each of the Springbok entities and their respective investors, including an affiliate of NGP Energy Capital Management, L.L.C. ("NGP"). We have a long-standing relationship with the Kimbell team and are excited to partner with them as they continue to execute their proven strategy. With its industry leading low PDP decline and diversified footprint, Kimbell is the natural acquiror of this acreage and the perfect partner for us. We believe strongly in the continued future success of Kimbell as a leading consolidator in the highly fragmented national minerals market."
Acquisition Highlights3
Acquisition estimated to include 2,533 Boe/d of production (6:1),4 comprising approximately 33% oil, 56% natural gas and 11% NGLs, which is expected to increase Kimbell's average daily net production to 15,790 Boe/d5
Acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to distributable cash flow per unit in 2020, with the potential for accelerated accretion in 2021
Gross well count estimated to include royalty interests in 1,493 gross (6.8 net) producing horizontal wells, 231 gross (0.8 net) drilled but uncompleted wells, 164 gross (1.0 net) permit locations and 1,042 gross (7.7 net) identified undeveloped locations
Largest concentration of acreage acquired (20% of total net royalty acres) located in the core of the Delaware Basin
Delaware Basin highlights:
Top five counties include Reeves, Eddy, Lea, Loving and Pecos
Four active rigs drilling on acreage
61 gross (0.3 net) drilled but uncompleted wells
Acreage is also concentrated in the DJ Basin, Haynesville, STACK and Eagle Ford Shale
14 rigs currently drilling across all of the acreage
Expected to maintain Kimbell's superior five-year PDP decline rate at approximately 14%, which is one of the lowest in the mineral and royalty industry
Kimbell Continues Its Role as a Leading Consolidator in the U.S. Oil and Gas Royalty Sector
Assuming the Acquisition is consummated as described in this news release, Kimbell is expected to have over 13 million gross acres, 145,917 net royalty acres and a total of 93 active rigs on its properties, which represents approximately 12% of the total active land rigs drilling in the continental United States. In addition, over 96% of all rigs in the continental United States are located in counties where Kimbell is expected to hold mineral interest positions following the consummation of the Acquisition. The Acquisition is expected to further solidify Kimbell's position in the Permian Basin by adding mineral interests in the Delaware Basin and further bolster its Eagle Ford Shale, Bakken Shale, Haynesville, STACK and DJ Basin positions.
Baker Botts L.L.P. and Kelly Hart & Hallman LLP acted as legal counsel to Kimbell. Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP acted as legal counsel to the Springbok entities. TenOaks Energy Advisors, LLC acted as financial advisor to the Springbok entities.

Chris Paul eases concerns on his injured foot
Shane Mickle
After the Houston Rockets' Game 4 victory against the Golden State Warriors, head coach Mike D'Antoni confirmed that Chris Paul has been dealing with some foot soreness.
Paul doesn't seem to be too concerned about it and tried to downplay just how bad it is.
Rockets' Chris Paul on his foot: "Whole lotta treatment. Whole lotta treatment.. It's good as it's going to be right now."
— Ben Golliver (@BenGolliver) May 23, 2018
According to ESPN's Tim McMahon, Paul has been dealing with the soreness since the fourth quarter of Game 2, but he hasn't appeared on the Rockets' injury report.
D'Antoni revealed postgame that Paul told him that if he could get his foot right, the Rockets would be winning the game.
"Chris felt better. His foot felt better," D'Antoni said. "I called him after Game 3, and he said, 'Coach, I'm telling you, if I can get my foot right, we'll beat these guys.' Lo and behold, he got his foot right. And just like I said, we're back to even."
In Game 3, Paul looked to really be affected by the foot injury, and he seemed to be missing a step, In Game 4 he looked a lot different, and appeared to have that step back.
He struggled early in the game, but once he hit a rhythm, he helped lead the Rockets to the victory. He finished the game with 27 points, shooting 10-of-20 from the field and 5-of-9 from deep.
At times in his career, Paul's ability to deliver in the clutch has been questioned and when the playoffs roll around, at times he has disappeared, but his teammates still have the faith in him.
"I just saw a guy who's a mentally tough guy, who wants to win and will do anything to win," Rockets forward Trevor Ariza told ESPN in regard to Paul. "That's who he is. That's the type of person he is and the type of player he is. We don't talk about what's hurting us. We just go out and play.

Why inclusive, transparent and accessible global digital governance is more crucial than ever
Home / Publications / Why inclusive, transparent and accessible global digital governance is more crucial than ever
Illustration: Matías Bervejillo
Published on 26 March 2021
Page last updated on 23 August 2022
The current rapid digitalisation of all aspects of life has been exacerbating structural inequalities and digital divides. It has also led to the unprecedented and growing power and influence of the largest internet and technology companies. [1] In the context of the global pandemic, the publicness of the internet has become an even more critical issue. We now face a breaking point, which will lead to either the consolidation of the corporatisation of the online space and authoritarian ways in which governments control it, or to the strengthening of the public character of the network.
The internet contributes in many ways to the exercise of human rights, online and offline. It has democratised communications and contributed to promoting increased gender and social justice, as well as sustainable development. The opposite is equally true. The harmful, unequal and biased deployment of and access to information and communications technologies have impacted on social cohesion, curtailed dissent and diversity, increased discrimination and exclusion, and led to silencing.
How does the digital space serve as an enabler of rights? Only with an open, interconnected and interoperable internet that is safe for all. Fragmentation and centralised control by public or corporate forces threaten this goal and dilute the public core of the internet. That is why global digital cooperation, based on both multilateralism and multistakeholderism, is a crucial agenda.
Multilateral and multistakeholder global digital governance are not mutually exclusive concepts. They are mutually reinforcing – both are needed to respond to the different and distributed ways and spaces in which global digital governance is undertaken.
Global cooperation on digital issues must be grounded in the adoption and operationalisation of the principles established at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in relation to multistakeholder participation: it must be people-centred, inclusive and development-oriented.
In this context, APC considers that the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) is a platform for identifying viable ways to shape, sustain and strengthen global digital cooperation, not only for universalising digital inclusion, but to mobilise collective intelligence and the potential of multistakeholder collaboration and action to respond to the persistent and emerging challenges in the digital age, including the environmental crisis. It is a key piece of the UN system, as well as the internet governance and digital cooperation ecosystems.
We believe the IGF continues to be the only multistakeholder process that can establish more accountable, inclusive, participatory and effective global digital cooperation among all stakeholders, building on its historical strengths and achievements, such as gender balance, multistakeholderism and decentralised structure with the organisation of national/regional IGFs (NRIs).
Celebrating and acknowledging the IGF's achievements is important, but it is also essential to acknowledge that change is needed to build on those achievements. A new body, or a reinforced Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) that could provide progress at the level of leadership, would be an important development. This progress should be targeted to improving the overall institutional capacity of the IGF, and promoting truly effective collaboration between the IGF and the other different dimensions and layers in which decisions are made.
The current IGF MAG is a representative body that has played a central role in the consolidation of the IGF. It focuses, however, on programmatic tasks. An empowered executive body, parallel to or within the MAG, that could build on a stronger thematic focus during the IGF sessions and enhanced intersessional work, sending clear messages to inform and feed other internet policy and governance processes, would be an important development. This body could also focus on increasing the IGF's visibility and could assist in bridging the gap between deliberative spaces and decision-making processes.
That said, APC has concerns about the format, composition and attributions to be defined for such a body. We believe there is a risk, with the creation of a new structure, of creating a top-down approach to digital cooperation that could undermine the IGF's legacy if it is not carefully designed.
It is crucial to ensure that the lessons learned from years of MAG operation feed into this process of strengthening leadership in internet governance as a key component of digital cooperation. It is also important to guarantee that a new body will not be disconnected from the IGF community and the other institutions and processes of the internet governance ecosystem.
We know that a number of the challenges faced by the IGF result from lack of capacity, which is caused mainly by a sustained lack of resources. Therefore, any new structure could drain even more from the reduced funds and personnel available. We consider that any new body must therefore be considered only after a careful cost-benefit analysis; unless additional commitment in terms of resources exists, priority should be given to overall institutional strengthening measures, and the creation of any costly new structure should be avoided. Another crucial consideration is the political cost of creating such a body, given the risks highlighted above.
If any new structure is to be considered, it should aim at strengthening and raising the profile of the IGF within the UN system, working hand in hand with or possibly even as a part of the current MAG. No such structure should be created outside of the IGF infrastructure.
Additionally, no new body should be created to take decisions on behalf of the IGF, nor should it be conceived to become a policy-making body. The Tunis Agenda should continue to determine the boundaries of the IGF mandate, as well as any new structures within it.
Any attempt to create a new structure should not be considered as a substitute for the needed overall strengthening of the IGF's institutional capacity.
For all the above reasons, extensive multistakeholder discussions should guide any further developments.
The IGF has been and continues to be a key space to tackle the ways in which regulation should happen towards effective digital cooperation, and to sustain policy dialogue around the current and future challenges to shape genuine and effective democratic global digital governance.

Comics on Consoles returns for the first new issue of 2016!
The summer of 2003 saw the release of one of the single most polarizing comic book movies ever created in the form of director Ang Lee's Hulk. How exactly do you turn a film like that into a licensed superhero video game?
The task fell on Vancouver-based Radical Entertainment, who came up with a great plan on paper: half the game would be played using the mind of Bruce Banner in a stealth experience, while the other half would unleash Marvel's iconic green behemoth into a world of destructible environments, and skirmishes with entire armies. Which one do you think fared better with gamers and comics fans? Still, Hulk would ultimately lead to the character's best console game ever, and host Chris Clow walks you through this very important first step in issue #3 of Comics on Consoles.
Plus, Chris announces the subject of issue #4!

There are common themes in holiday home decor that consumers expect to see every year: shades of red and green, with trims of silver and gold. With each new year, however, comes a slightly different take on the classics, both in decorations and soft lines to outfit the living and guest rooms.
In 2018, there's a progression towards the natural look. A general theme of this year's textiles is bringing nature inside the home. Floral prints, which were quite popular last year, are still sought after by consumers, but in more muted tones. Even consumers that desire a flashy, showpiece home won't be too obvious about that intention because garish decor is not in vogue this season.
This year's holiday home furnishing trends focus on upcycling, getting back to the earth with distinct textures and accents. Retailers should expect shoppers to want to bring new life into their homes for the joyous season, but minimize waste and reduce excess at the same time. When they invite guests, they want them to feel comfortable, settled into peaceful home decor.
This year's trending cool colors include deep blues, neo mint and other shades that give off a wintery sensation. Over the holidays expect consumers to outfit their trees, mantles and table settings with these colors. Dynamic colors are nonetheless appropriate for style trends that want to bring the outdoors inside.
Of course, blue pairs nicely with 2018's other hot color: red. To put it simply, red is "hot, hot, hot," and there's no better time of year to put those red furnishings on display. Expect throws, blankets and other linens of this color when families outfit their homes for incoming guests.
In 2018, there's a movement away from the sleek, modern look that has been popular the past few years. In textiles and holiday home furnishing trends, consumers seek a tactile experience. That means less of the smooth, distant feel and more of a waffle-like, ridged appearance on soft lines.
That focus on tactile experience naturally lends itself to details in holiday bedding and linens, such as embroidery, fringe, tassels and pom-poms. Consumers have shifted back to an appreciation for decorative stitching and appealing patterns to help create a distinct atmosphere in the December season.
As much as holiday home furnishing trends are about style and detail, they are also about functionality. Consumers are on the lookout for fabrics that adhere to current trends, but also make them feel they've supported a local artisan. Even if they are not near an art show, they want to bring that sense of authenticity into their home.
Linens focused on wellness, specifically made from eco-friendly and breathable fabrics, are especially popular. When making up the guest room for incoming family, consumers want sheets that feature cooling technology, antimicrobial or anti-allergen craftsmanship. It's all the better if it's made from sustainable materials. Look for organic cotton, bamboo, all in those distinct holiday shades of red and blue.
Natural is the continuing theme throughout 2018, and holiday home furnishing trends follow on that path. Not many consumers will bring a forest into their living room, but they choose home decor that recalls the beauty and simplicity of the outdoors. Look for natural furnishings that are nonetheless abstract, easy to fit into a home of almost anyone's taste.
Soft floral notes, dots, dashes and stripes bring texture to the patterns on this year's holiday linens. Color blocking and terrazzo contribute to an overall look of imperfection that reflects natural beauty. Retailers want to give everyone the look of a unique, distinct, outdoorsy home while still adhering to general style trends.
Consumers continue to seek value in their holiday shopping. Retailers can emphasize the durability and multifunctional aspects of their products in order to attract and retain customers. Holiday linens, for example, that are both a stylish addition to a guest bedroom while also meeting the need for a low-allergen, toxin-free home, offer two distinct value propositions to consumers.
In 2018, the natural look is a style preference, but a sought-after attribute of bedding and home linens for an ever-increasing consumer segment. While brick-and-mortar retailers have to find shelf space for these items, e-commerce outlets have a particular advantage. Through a dropshipping relationship with a custom sheets manufacturer, they can offer consumers the full variety of style and functionality combinations they may seek.
That means consumers have the choice between reds and blues, waffle-texture or ridges, in order to make their home very "this year," without having the same living room as the neighbors next door. Online retailers give choice and value in a way that brick-and-mortar simply cannot for lack of space.
While a return to natural style options does fall in step with growing consumer interest in reducing waste and getting full use out of a product, it does not negate the public's continued desire for attractive holiday decor. Through combining ethical material choices with colors, textures and designs that recall a natural look, e-commerce retailers can offer the perfect mix of economic and aesthetic value.

You are here » Home » The Accidental Smallholder Forum » Livestock » Goats » Stolen Goats!
Tonight after we put our chickens to bed between 8- 8.30 pm and when we went to put our goats to bed at 10 pm we found that 7 of our goats were taken from our land. We have 3 paddocks enclosed by heras fences. This is apart from the field having another heras fence that enclosed it - all 3 were opened. We were left with only 2 goats and their kids which we put away in a barn earlier in the evening due to having just kidded this last week.
These goats are beloved pets - not only am I saying it that we love these goats but they are also attached to us, and this land - so not likely to 'run away'. In the few times they've ever escaped, they remained on the land. We have hay close by and plenty of good trees/bushes which would have been far more enticing than to run further afield. Their housing and paddocks are relatively close-by but not so much that we heard anything.
I am hoping that people on here might hear something or at the very least know any avenues that we could take to recover our loved pets.
We've already put in a police report, notified any close-by neighbours who we have contact with around us (and we're semi-rural so there are residents which seeing a goat in their back garden would be note-worthy and frighteningly noticeable).
Which area are you in?What sort of goats?
Is there a local fb group you could notify or fb goat groups to spread the word.
A mixture - a GG x Togg, a pygmy/Nigerian Dwarf billy, 2 pygmy mixes - female, and a family we recently took on of a mum, daughter and son which are pygmy/British goat.
We are in Yorkshire - Keighley. I am on FB with groups - but please spread the word as well!
Sadly this seems to be becoming a regular scenario. In addition to the FB groups, it's worth listing them on www.doglost.co.uk (not just for dogs), contacting the local radio and tv stations (if it's a slow news day they may run the item) and newspapers. Someone may have seen something that helps. List in as many of the local community groups as you can and get everyone to share on social media - there are a few twitter specific goat accounts that are good for re-tweeting stuff like this too. Bear in mind that they may have been transported quite some distance, so getting pictures of them "out there" will help to spread the word if they're being sold on in another location.
Were they tagged or identichipped? Photos showing markings will help. It's also worth trawling the mart sites to find out if there are any upcoming sales and notifying all of them of the stolen animals with descriptions/photographs so that if they turn up there they may be identified and appropriate action taken to establish who has brought them in and under what circumstances.
Fingers crossed you get some answers and they're home safely soon.
I bet it was a case of kidnapping ….I'll get me coat.
Do you belong to Goaty Friends on FB? You could get it shared from there.
Unfortunately someone else suggested the dog site, what that opened us up to was a blackmailer/extortionist who said if we want the goats back pay £1000. We had the police listen to the call, and they said this often happens with lost dogs. Nice huh?
The goats were tagged but let's face it, those will be gone in a heartbeat. We have gone around to various auctions nearby, but without knowing where these culprits could go with the goats - we could be needle in a haystack to search out wider and wider to different auctions. Don't misunderstand, I'd do it - I'd do it in a heartbeat to get them back but I may call one and not the other, miss one that sees them. It's daunting. As you said they could travel distance - but what direction? North, South, East, West.
Could I post some photos on here and if anyone on here could pass it along on their networks, areas - that would be great. I've gone on to various social groups, put adverts out there, canvassed neighbours, looked for evidence left, we've contacted feedstores nearby, made posters, contacted local auctions, and also slaughterhouses - which I break down in tears even writing. I am writing something to try to put out there on the media as I find it shameful that this is going on all over the place and really no one in authority is doing anything. No one came to see where we had been broken into - the reason it happened to us, and will happen to someone else, you, your neighbour, a friend - is that unless you can provide a lead, there's little they will do. Somehow animal lives, and the hardships the owners go through isn't really, truly, a crime.
This is of the two other females which were heavily pregnant and another of the billy.
I do hope you find your goats. Sheep were taken up our way a few weeks ago, not for the first time I may add.
Why is this allowed to go on? Nothing seems to happen to bring these people to justice. Why? We all place a value on those we love - I love my goats, so why is that less valuable than anyone else? If a dog worries a sheep a farmer has the right to shoot it, right? But if a human (and I use that word lightly here as I am not sure it really applies to this group) steals sheep or goats, possibly kills them? Obviously as humans, we aren't able to take the law into our own hands. But those that can, they just turn their head, they don't even attempt to capture them.
One big reason it happened to you, happened to me - was that it happened to someone before us, but nothing was done.
Yes there are some sad individuals out there who will try to make commercial gain from any situation. However, that site also emails all the volunteers in the area with posters of the animals concerned so if anyone saw anything or sees anything then you have a lot of people looking.
I get really annoyed when I see people posting rewards for animals that have been stolen - all that does is create a market for the next theft. I'm speaking as someone who had 2 ponies stolen when I was a child - and yes, there had been a spate of them before where people had paid up. We didn't. One pony escaped and came home after a few days; the other took almost a fortnight before we got a tip off to find him. He had been ridden in a barbed wire bridle, and was hobbled with barbed wire to stop him wandering. We found him at gone 11 in the evening dripping in sweat and blood and in an awful state and then had to walk him home (no box back then). 5 police cars passed my father and brother walking him the 7 miles home - mum and I had gone to get the garden shed ready for him as a stable because it was too late to take him back to the livery yard and get the farmer out of bed. After we'd got things ready we went back to see where they were and within 100 yards of them, we were pulled over by the police "Where are you going, where have you been, what are you doing out at 1 in the morning?". I thought they were going to arrest my father that night because he went ballistic. We'd been phoning them every few hours from the time he'd been reported stolen (before mobile phones or even answer machines and we were out looking for him so wanted to check if there was any news). The police don't take animal theft seriously at all. There are farm watch and horse watch schemes but they are rarely useful in my experience. I've even heard of instances where there was video footage of the individuals, knowledge of who they were and where the animals were being kept and still the police refused to go onto the site to investigate because they didn't want trouble kicking off.
I had a similar situation about 20 years after the first one - armed robbery from my stables. We had an inkling it was going to happen and an earlier disturbance had resulted in us calling the police - they'd left less than 10 minutes before it kicked off, but it was 2 hours before they could get back to us. We were told not to pursue the culprits (which we ignored and followed them to the point they put up a road block and pointed weapons at us). We never got those horses back. The mare had been loaded into a trailer by driving a car into her back legs and catapulting her into the trailer by slamming the brakes on. I heard later she'd been catastrophically injured and was shot by the thieves. The foal was never recovered.
In my view there should be more serious penalties for animal theft than for inanimate object theft because of the psychological harm and physical pain these animals may suffer but our politicians seem unwilling to change the law on this matter.
In terms of the auctions, I wasn't suggesting you visit all of them. Get the animals details circulated to them and ask them to notify you of any sales where goats are entered and to send you pictures of the goats concerned so that you can check - agree a day of the week when you can call them and ring every week to keep it fresh in their minds.
I see your photos are being circulated on FB and I've shared as have a number of other people in my network. I really hope they are found safe and well and returned to you.
Thanks for your heartfelt story. I know you weren't trying to tell me to go to all the various auctions, I was just saying - I'm pulling my hair out to know which direction to go. I am trying everything to find them and where do I put my best efforts? It's even hard here as we have other pets - pets which need care and time - which do we choose? Time to care for them, time to now double up protection for any remaining, or time to finding the ones that are lost? Which do we save - the ones lost or the ones in danger? The police do nothing to help. They are the ones with tools, resources, knowledge - and we're grieving, scared and overwhelmed and unknowledgeable. Maybe that's unfair - the police will say we're overrun with budget constraints and limited people. That might be true, but so is our story. We're ill-equipped to do investigations, our work in those veins will take longer than they would based on knowledge and experience. We also have to now protect the others, we live in fear each morning of what might happen. We also live in fear that if it does, there is nothing anyone is going to do.
when I say that, I don't mean the kind people on FB - I mean I am preaching to the choir there (mostly). These are the people who care, but is that reaching those who don't? No. I had on one site I wrote to - people saying 'steak & chops' or 'Curry!' - I reported this to facebook and they said we don't see that as a problem, we'll not do anything. Thankfully the site owner wrote to me this morning and said they removed it. But an institution like Facebook cannot see that people writing that to people who are grieving, fearful, wanting their love-ones back is terrible - is complicit in the vehicle which makes this possible. A relationship with an animal is symbiotic, it's an object, we provide them with food/housing/safety and they provide us with 'our belief' of companionship. But that is actually true about all relationships - they are all symbiotic. Human relationships still meet 2 parties needs. We value some more than others depending on how they meet said needs. We don't value someone else's mother, more than our own. why? Because our mother is more important to our survival or meeting a functional need of ours, or meeting the need of companionship. I do not say any of this to devalue human relationships, only to say that we all have our values we place on the companions we value - for some it is a parent, another it is their children, another is it their dog, another it is their goats, another it is their horse. And in all of these cases, these are lives - breathing lives, not an object. I realise that an object may still be of sentimental value, so I also caution not to devalue it - but psychologically losing a life you find precious to you, be they human or animal, is devastating. We lost 7 goats we love. How often do people lose 7 lives close to them in one moment? It happens in catastrophic or genocidal conditions - and it is PTSD worthy at that point. I lose 7 lives, 2 of which were heavily pregnant - and that is just an object to many, not personal for me, or as personal as if they lost a love one, or 7.
No one knows what they mean to me - their life, the care of bringing them up from kids in some cases, to see their pen and not feel like a person seeing the room of someone who's died and feeling such grief, to feel that the future you planned with that person or animal blighted by it. How can they determine what that means for me, anymore than I could determine that a co-worker should mean less than a family member, or a family member more than a friend. It would all be contingent on the meaning that person placed on that relationship - for one person that co-worker might be a soldier they fought with side-by-side, or a police member who save their life, for another their family far outweighs that of a co-worker. One person may not like their family but their friends are their family, for another it would be reverse. We cannot tell someone how to value their companionships and when they lose them, say well at least it wasn't a '....' because they may have valued this above all else. This may be their family, they may have a value they associate to it that you cannot understand, worse still you don't want to.
When i talk to people on FB - they are people like me, or partially like me, but is that reaching people who say 'Curry' or 'steak & chops'? To say how would it feel like if someone upon your child, family, friend, co-worker being taken - saying Jeffrey Daumer? Some who read this may think I am rude to suggest such a thing about a human - and if I were honestly suggesting that, I'd agree. But as they cannot ascertain what these goats meant to me, don't devalue my fear, my grief, my love and reduce it down to a joke standard.
When someone is kidnapped, they tell a story on the news, in media to personalise that person so the kidnapper sees them as a living creature, not an object. I want to personalise my animals - but politicians, police, kidnappers, people societally, want to objectify them...but they are objects to me. And I realise that humans trade in animals - sell on pups, kids, kittens, lambs, even adult animals. This may seem like they are objectifying them, I don't see it that way as we with all of our human relationships, we have to find ways to distance ourselves, give them a chance to live their lives, be enjoyed by others and to enjoy others. We put children up for adoption if they cannot be cared for, we let our children go and marry someone else and develop their own family, we let parents re-marry or find love. Selling on animals is also part of finding means of distance, giving them a chance to live lives as well. The means of money, hopefully, is just a means of weeding out the worst to help discern a good life for the pets that they can't determine themselves, as we hope our parents, children, or adoption agency might do.
Sorry if this is long-winded but like you, I feel that my goats, we are, a victim to a pattern. It's happened before us, it will happen after us. I am them, they are me. I've spoken to people on the phone since this has happened who had it happen to them just recently - they say the same things I do. And the person after me, will to. The loss, the grief, the hope, the need to believe desperately they're ok. But the reason I happen, and the person after me will - is that the preceding incident didn't get responded to. Yes, I recognise that this is not the 100% answer - I'm not naive to think that every pursuit of justice stops the crime full-stop - but I can say with certainty that the lack of pursuit will ensure it does happen again and again. One thief caught is 10 people saved and how many animals saved. That is a certainty. One person caught, maybe penalised, maybe rehabilitated - is a message to other thieves. This only reduces the number of incidents, victims of the psychological trauma of losing an animal and the animals themselves.
I could get into dicier areas of history and our values we placed on other human lives, and how we de-valued those when we felt it appropriate - be they religion, race, affiliation, orientation...but I can assure you that each of those lives were loved by someone. We didn't understand them, but it didn't mean they weren't loved and cherished and grieved. For me, a pet is something that the greater world hasn't understood is a relationship, a valued one by those who love it, not those who look on it without understanding it, or understanding love is the only objectivity we can have, not the subject of that love. Otherwise we can always reduce someone's loss to our own values and say it can be replaced, it can be bought and the person on the other end knows that can't be replaced and feels yet again another crime is committed in losing their loved one, and then having people say it's ok.
Just to let you know, there will be many others like me, who so far haven't spoken up, but keeping eyes and ears open for newly acquired goats.
Thank you, and everyone else who hasn't spoken up, for doing that. I do really, really appreciate anyone and everyone's help and support. I hope we can find them, I hope that we can catch the people who do these things - and stop the suffering of those animals, and the people who love them.

We met with Stephanie Gillespie to show us some homes and I was so impressed with her. She was right on time with which started us off on the right foot. She made it a point to get the most out of our day. I'm sure it took many phone calls and careful planning to get us from point A to B to C, etc. Not one glitch in her logistics which was nice because we were unfamiliar with the area. She also had a packet with just enough information to give me a rundown of each property which was quite informative without being overwhelming. I felt that Stephanie listened to our wants and needs and truly had our best interest in mind. I would recommend her and will absolutely refer her to my friends. Thank you, Stephanie! Wendy F.


To coincide with the launch of Craigie Aitchison A Life in Colour, by Cate Haste, Caroline Wiseman recreates the artist's London sitting room as the setting for her exhibition of his paintings and prints Craigie Aitchison Recreated. Feb 28th - April 6th.
"To remember Craigie is to picture him in his idiosyncratic sitting room surrounded by his knickknacks" says Caroline, a dealer in modern art who was a neighbour and friend from the early 90s. "I held a one man show for Craigie in the mid 90s and we were regular visitors to Craigie's home where he always welcomed us and where gin rather than tea or coffee was always on offer"
Craigie Aitchison Recreated is an exhibition which provides a very personal portrait of the artist and complements the personal view of Craigie which Cate Haste explores in her new book. The Aldeburgh Beach Lookout is a tiny lookout tower on the beach in Aldeburgh and it will be turned into a recreation of Craigie Aitchison's sitting room with the help of some of Aitchison's own possessions.
Cate Haste is a biographer, historian and film-maker. Her last monograph/biography was a comprehensive study of life and work of artist Sheila Fell, Sheila Fell A Passion for Paint (Lund Humphries 2010) and won the Lakeland Book of the Year Award.
Join Bedlingtons and their owners on the Beach at the Lookout to celebrate Craigie's love of Bedlingtons. Drinks and Eats.

Carlos glared at the two of them, in spite of himself.
"There's a party?" Evie asked shyly. Carlos had forgotten she was standing right next to him, and he jumped at the sound of her voice.
"Eavesdrop, much?" Mal said, snarling at her although it was obvious Evie couldn't help it, as she was standing right next to them.
"They are?" Carlos looked confused. "But you only just told me to have it—" He quickly got the message. "Everyone," he agreed.
With those parting words, Mal went ahead of them into the classroom—she was in their next class too, of course (her EQ was legendary)—and left them to each other.
"Yeah, me too. The party sounds like fun," Evie said sadly.
"Can you keep a secret?" he asked, whispering.
"Um, I guess. If you're into that kind of thing," Carlos said. He didn't care about princes or enchanted lakes or chirping animals or cheerful dwarfs. What he did care about was discovering more of the online world, a safe virtual refuge, where he'd heard you could even find people with whom you could play videogames—that sounded like fun, as he never had anyone to play with.
There had to be something more to life than kowtowing to the cool kids, organizing his mother's fur coats, and hiding from her tantrums.
There had to be. Although right now it wasn't just his mother he had to answer to. If Mal was serious, which it looked like she was, in the next few hours he somehow had to figure out how to throw the party of the year.
Meanwhile, across the Sea of Serenity, which separated the Isle of the Lost from the rest of the world, lay the USA—the United States of Auradon, a land of peace and enchantment, prosperity and delight, which encompassed all the good kingdoms. To the east lay the colorful domes of the Sultan's seat, where Aladdin and Jasmine lived, not far from where Mulan and Li Shang guarded the imperial palace. To the north was Charming Castle, owned by Cinderella and her king, next door to "Honeymoon Cottage," the forty-bedroom palace that Aurora and Phillip called home. And to the south, one could spy the lanterns of Rapunzel and Eugene Fitzherbert's divine domicile, near the spot on the coast where Ariel and Eric had made their under-and-over-the-sea royal residence at Seaside.
But right in the center was the grandest castle in all of Auradon, with lavish turrets and balconies, its highest towers flying the proud blue-and-gold banner of the good old USA. Inside the magnificent building were many ballrooms, great rooms and state rooms, a formal dining room that could seat hundreds, where everyone was made to feel like a pampered guest, and a wondrous library that held all the books that were ever written.
This was all fitting, of course, because this was Castle Beast, home of King Beast and Queen Belle, the seat of Auradon. Twenty years ago, King Beast united all the fairy-tale lands into one under his crown; and for the past two decades he had ruled over its good citizens with strong and fair judgment, and only occasionally a tiny bit of his beastly temper.
Belle had a calming influence on the hotheaded Beast: she was not just the love of his life but the pacifier of his moods, the voice of reason in a gathering storm, and the mother of his only child.
The jewel in the crown was their handsome son, fifteen-year-old Prince Ben. There had been no fairies at his christening to bestow gifts, perhaps because he did not need any. Ben was as handsome as his father, with his strong brow and chisel-cut cheekbones, but he had his mother's gentle eyes and keen intellect. He was a golden boy in every way, with a good heart and a winning spirit—captain of the tourney team, friend to all, destined to rule Auradon one day.
In short, he was the very sort of person that the people of the Isle of Lost despised. And, as on the Isle of the Lost, magic was no longer a factor in daily life in Auradon either. King Beast and Queen Belle stressed scholarship above enchantment, exhorting the young people to work hard instead of relying on fairy spells or dragon friends for help. Because Beast was the most powerful figure in all the kingdoms, when he proposed the new work ethic, nobody argued against him. It was indeed a new (once upon a) time for the people of the fabled fairy-tale lands.
