Fox News Contributors Stephen Hayes And Jonah Goldberg Resign Over Tucker Carlson January 6 Series!
November 23, 2021 admin 1 Comment
Two lesding conservatives, who have been Fox News contributors for years, have resigned over the Tucker Carlson January 6 series on January 6, 2021.
Stephen Hayes and Jonah Goldberg have demonstrated principle and common decency, and they are to be commended.
They and other conservatives NOT allied with Fox News Channel, now a long list, have condemned Carlson for lies, deceit, manipulation of truth, and the promotion of domestic terrorism and white supremacy.
Fox News Channel is promoting pure racist, extreme Fascist like propaganda, and has demonstrated no concern about the promotion of violence and bloodshed that took place on January 6.

Presidential Losers Who Ran Again, And Donald Trump!
November 22, 2021 admin 3 Comments
It has been reported that a former Trump advisor is planning to convince Donald Trump NOT to run again in 2024.
According to the report, this person has, or will tell Trump, that he would not wish to be a two time loser for the Presidency, amidst the belief that Trump's ego could not handle that idea.
Former two time Democratic Presidential nominee Adlai Stevenson (1952, 1956) is mentioned as the example of the most recent two time nominee who lost twice for the White House.
One would think that this advisor would have more knowledge than just mentioning Stevenson, as five other Presidential candidates lost either twice or three times.
These include Republican Thomas E. Dewey (1944, 1948); Democrat William Jennings Bryan (1896, 1900, 1908); and Whig Henry Clay (1824, 1832, 1844), along with Democrat Martin Van Buren (elected in 1836 but losing in 1840, and 1848 (Free Soil Party), and Federalist Charles C. Pinckney (1804, 1808).
All six of these two or three time losers had real credentials and validity, unlike Donald Trump, who will go down as the worst or near worst President in American history!
But also, Andrew Jackson lost the Presidency in 1824, but won in 1828 and 1832, and William Henry Harrison lost in 1836 but won in 1840.
Also, there is the example of Richard Nixon, who lost in 1960, but came back successfully in 1968 and 1972.
And finally, there is Grover Cleveland, elected in 1884, but losing reelection in the Electoral College in 1888, and yet coming back to a second nonconsecutive term in the White House in 1892!

Birthday Of Joe Biden And Robert F. Kennedy November 20, And The Issue Of Age!
Yesterday, November 20, was the 79th Birthday of President Joe Biden, our oldest President in office.
It was also the birthday of Robert F. Kennedy, who Biden perceives as a hero, with Biden having a bust of RFK always in every photo on his left side when Biden is at his desk in the Oval Office.
Biden is working so hard to accomplish the greatest social change legislation in the past 55 years since Lyndon B. Johnson accomplished the massive reforms of the Great Society in the mid 1960s, something RFK wished to build on if he had lived and become President in the Presidential Election of 1968.
The issue of age constantly is brought up as Joe Biden will be 82 years old weeks after the Presidential Election of 2024.
Biden certainly has aged since he was Vice President under Barack Obama, but he is still capable and alert, although his annual physical shows his gait has slowed a bit.
But when one compares Biden to Donald Trump or Ronald Reagan at the end of their terms, and even Trump now a year later, Biden is far more mentally capable than either of them.
And the idea that Donald Trump at age 78 and a half at the time of inauguration three years hence would magically be much more mentally and physically capable than Joe Biden, when already it is clear that Trump is a danger with his reckless rhetoric, and promotion of hate, sedition and treason, makes one have to wonder about the mental stability of Donald Trump followers, who see him as a God like figure!
Joe Biden might decide one term is enough, considering his age, and that would be perfectly understandable, as only one third of our Presidents have served two terms.
Joe Biden is a transformative figure in the Presidency, who is having an historical impact, and this is just his first year in office!
A new generation can follow him and continue the good works, and common decency, that would make Robert F. Kennedy proud, if he was alive, on his 96th birthday!

"Build Back Better" Social Infrastructure Legislation Passes The House of Representatives!
Congratulations are due to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, President Joe Biden, and the Democratic Caucus in the House of Representatives on successfully passing the "Build Back Better" Social Infrastructure legislation by a vote of 220-213, after a disgraceful eight and a half hour rampage speech by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, and the refusal of any House Republicans to support legislation which makes life better for millions of Americans!
The legislation, once it gains approval of the US Senate with some modifications certain, will do the following:
Affordable Child Care
Paid Family and Medical Leave
Universal PreKindergarten
Affordable Care Act Premium Tax Credits
Medicaid Home and Community Based Services
Raise State and Local Tax Deduction Cap
Medicare Hearing Benefits
Clean Energy and Climate Resilience
Climate Related Tax Breaks
Spending on Higher Education
A Corporate Minimum Tax on Large Corporations
A Tax Surcharge Targeting the Wealthiest Americans, over $25 million and over $10 million.

The New "McCarthyism": Kevin McCarthy's Ambitions To Be Speaker Require Being Subservient To Donald Trump!
California Congressman Kevin McCarthy, the House Republican Minority Leader, is desperate to become Speaker of the House of Representatives in the 118th Congress (2023-2024).
This requires him being subservient to Donald Trump, and McCarthy will stop at nothing to promote himself, and in the process conduct himself as a charlatan, a man without common decency and any ethical principles!
McCarthy will do anything and everything to support Paul Gosar, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, Madison Cawthorn, and the rest of the traitors and seditionists who were complicit in the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol, leading to the death of five people, and the physical and mental harm done to more than 140 US Capitol police!
McCarthy will lie incessantly through his teeth, displaying no sense of morality, and throws good people, such as Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger and a small band of other House Republicans, "under the bus", so to speak!
He has just set a record for more than an eight and a half hours speech overnight on the floor of the House of Representatives, putting on a performance for the extremist right wingers in his caucus, and displaying every bit of poison and hate imaginable!
He calls for the defeat of the Build Back Better bill of President Joe Biden and the Democrats, which would improve the lives of millions of Americans!
There is only one conclusion about Kevin McCarthy!
That is, that Kevin McCarthy should be roundly condemned by all decent people as the leader of the new "McCarthyism", possibly worse if successful in his quest than his namesake, Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy, seven decades ago!
Kevin McCarthy is willing to destroy anyone who stands in his way on his mission to become a demagogue, and if bad luck occurs, easily the worst, most dangerous Speaker of the House in 234 years of the history of the House of Representatives!
And finally, ironically, there are indications that the disgraced, twice impeached, two time popular vote loser of the Presidency, Donald Trump, is working to undermine McCarthy's hope to be Speaker, and would wish Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan, who is even more unprincipled and dangerous, to become Speaker of the House in 2023!
Even if one is not "religious", God Help Us! 🙁

Two Profiles In Courage: Liz Cheney And Adam Kinzinger Voting To Censure Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar!
This author and blogger is not a fan of conservatism, and definitely not a fan of former Vice President Dick Cheney, or his daughter, Congresswoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming.
He is also not a big fan of Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger, whose conservative views are not his idea of leadership.
But both of them, Cheney and Kinzinger, have shown they have principle and are true profiles in courage, who someday will have an historian write a book on their willingness to stand up to extremist Fascist rhetoric and the danger of Donald Trump!
Both are on the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 US Capitol Insurrection, and both voted to impeach Trump after that event.
And both now have condemned Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar, just about the most extreme member of the Republican Party, who put a anime cartoon on Twitter which portrayed the assassination of New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a sword combat of Gosar with President Joe Biden.
This advocacy and portrayal of violence is not a laughing matter, and led to the censure of Gosar in the House of Representatives, with only Cheney and Kinzinger, of all Republicans, joining the Democratic majority to take such action, which has only occurred 23 previous times in the history of the lower chamber since 1789!
Gosar should be expelled from the House of Representatives, but that cannot happen unless there was a bipartisan vote of two thirds of the chamber, which will not happen.
But for Republicans to defend the advocacy of violence, and for Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to refuse to condemn Gosar's action is an outrage that will cause much grief in the future, and particularly if the Republicans, due to gerrymandering, are able to regain control of the House of Representatives in the midterm Congressional Elections of 2022!
This whole situation reminds historians of the Congressional violence and advocacy of violence in the pre Civil War period, particularly in the decade of the 1850s!
Terrifying to think that Congress itself is becoming a battleground of extremism and violence, due to the extremism and danger of Donald Trump!

Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy Will Retire At End Of 2022, After Serving As Third Longest Serving Senator!
Vermont Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy will retire at the end of his 8th Senate term at the end of 2022, after an amazing 48 years in the upper body of Congress!
He will leave office as the third longest serving US Senator in the 234 years of that historic institution, only behind Democrat Robert Byrd of West Virginia, who served 51.5 years, and Democrat Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, who served just short of 50 years.
At the moment, he is fourth longest serving, behind Republican Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, who served 47 years and a bit more than 5 months, which Leahy will pass in June 2022.
Leahy just passed Democrat Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts in total service in late October 2021.
Leahy is the last member of Congress elected in 1974, and the only sitting Senator to have served while Gerald Ford was President, and also to have served while Jimmy Carter was President.
Leahy is the only Democrat ever elected to the Senate from Vermont, as Bernie Sanders always ran as an Independent. Leahy is easily the longest serving Vermont Senator as well.
Leahy has been, in his long career, Chairman of the Agriculture, Judiciary, and Appropriations Committees, and is President Pro Tempore of the Senate, third in line of Presidential succession.
Leahy also presided over the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump in 2021.
Had Leahy chosen to run for an unprecedented 9th term, he would easily have been reelected and in 2026, would have become the longest serving US Senator ever!
Leahy is a premier liberal and progressive throughout his career, and will be nearing the age of 83 when he retires at the beginning of 2023.
Leahy is a great figure in the history of the Senate, and will be missed when he leaves office!

The United States Has Become A "Flawed Democracy"!
Americans want to believe that their nation is a paragon of "democracy", but by estimates of many experts who watch how governments change in their level of democracy, the United States has become a "flawed democracy".
The Economist Intelligence Unit, the research division of the publication THE ECONOMIST, has rated the nations of the world as "Full Democracies", "Flawed Democracies", "Hybrid Regimes", and "Authoritarian Regimes".
The United States is in the "Flawed Democracies" category as Number 25, second on the "Flawed Democracies" list behind France, which also has fallen out of the "Full Democracies" listing!
23 Nations are "Full Democracies", led by Norway, Iceland, Sweden, New Zealand and Canada. Finland, Denmark, Ireland, Australia and The Netherlands are the next five, with the latter two actually tied for 9th!
Other major nations in the "Full Democracies" list include, among others, Taiwan, Germany, the United Kingdom, Chile, Costa Rica, Japan, Spain, and South Korea.
Inspiring is the fact that Taiwan, Chile, and South Korea have become democracies in recent decades, but sadly so many more nations have moved away from democracy, and the fact that the US and France are put at the top of "Flawed Democracies" is troubling! And Israel and Italy are 5 and 6 as "Flawed Democracies". And Mexico is way down, near the bottom of 52 nations that are "Flawed Democracies".
"Hybrid Regimes" are the next 35 nations, and "Authoritarian Regimes" were 57 in number, with the total of nations on the list being 167.

Right Wing Propaganda Attempts To Portray Joe Biden And Kamala Harris As Disasters, When Much Has Been Accomplished!
Right Wing propaganda, whether the Republican Party, Fox News Channel, OANN, Newsmax, or various interest groups that promote domestic terrorism and white supremacy, is working incessantly to portray President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris as disasters.
This is all designed to advance the cause of a Republican Congress and state government domination by partisan gerrymandering, as well as whitewash and avoiding responsibility for support of the "Big Lie" of Donald Trump and his criminal backers who incited the January 6, 2021 Insurrection on the US Capitol!
One would think that Donald Trump and Mike Pence accomplished so much in office that was positive for the American people and nation, when exactly the opposite is the truth!
Trump did great harm in so many areas of domestic and foreign policy, and the only "winner" was the extremely wealthy, who gained a massive tax cut which added greatly to the national debt, without improving the daily lives of the American people!
Mike Pence proved how much of a sycophant he was, a person supposedly "religious", "devout", "moral and ethical", when he was simply a total hypocrite, with his promotion of hatred, division, and narrow mindedness. He had to be convinced by, of all people, former Vice President Dan Quayle, to follow the Constitution on January 6, 2021, and uphold the Electoral College vote that Joe Biden had won the Presidency.
Pence will go down in history as one of the absolutely worst, most disgraceful Vice Presidents in American history!
Meanwhile, Joe Biden has accomplished a great deal, including providing relief to the American economy through the American Rescue Plan, a total of $1.9 trillion in the spring of 2021. The Physical Infrastructure legislation, providing $1.2 trillion to rebuild roads, bridges, airports rail systems, broadband, environmental cleanup, and electric vehicle, is being signed into law today by President Biden.
Also, Biden has changed the harsh policy toward refugees promoted by Trump, and cracked down on the abuses of Immigration and Customs Enforcement toward innocent children.
Additionally, Biden returned America to the Paris Climate Accords, and reversed the action of Trump cutting down the Bears Ear National Monument and the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, and he restored protection of the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument.
Biden has taken strong action on vaccinations and masking, and brought about a commitment to combating the COVID 19 Pandemic, after Trump minimized the crisis and promoted false solutions. And Biden has not allowed renegade governors Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott to stop necessary action to protect the American people during this pandemic!
The "Build Back Better" Social Infrastructure legislation, held up by moderate Democrats, hopefully will be accomplished soon, as it should be, but with Senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema or Arizona, and some in the House of Representatives causing problems, no certainty at this moment, but important for the future of both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and the nation at large.
Biden withdrew US military forces from Afghanistan, an action that was promoted by Donald Trump, who wanted to remove them in May 2021, rather than the actual time frame of August 2021. It was a tough decision, but America had been in Afghanistan for 20 years, and most Americans knew it was time to leave.
The NATO nations and others have seen a massive change in American foreign policy by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, restoring our good relations with our allies.
Kamala Harris has been more in the background, but Vice Presidents historically have not been in the forefront so early in an administration, and if one looks back at Mike Pence, for instance, who recalls him playing a leading role in the first year of Donald Trump's Presidency, or really ever?
This negative portrayal of Harris simply is the reaction of having a mixed race woman a heartbeat away from the Presidency, when she has excellent credentials, were she to have to assume the Presidency!

Donald Trump Is Inciting Violence, And Is A "Clear And Present Danger", Who Needs To Be Prosecuted!
Former President Donald Trump is openly inciting violence and domestic terrorism, causing threats against even members of the Republican Party who have the "gall" to have voted for an infrastructure bill that helps the nation, and the people in all congressional districts and states.
Trump is totally out of control, and the one third of Americans who are "brainwashed" to follow him, as if he is a cult leader, have become a serious threat to the stability and security of America.
Trump needs to be prosecuted as a "clear and present danger" to the party, to Congress, and to all sane Americans, who now have to fear domestic terrorists daily.
There is a serious issue with mentally ill, unstable people being a threat to law abiding Americans, and Trump is at their leadership, very troubling!

Dettifoss () is a waterfall in Vatnajökull National Park in Northeast Iceland, and is reputed to be the second most powerful waterfall in Europe after the Rhine Falls. Dettifoss is situated on the Jökulsá á Fjöllum river, which flows from the Vatnajökull glacier and collects water from a large area in Northeast Iceland. The sediment-rich runoff colours the water a greyish white.

The falls are  wide and have a drop of  down to the canyon Jökulsárgljúfur. It is the second largest waterfall in Iceland in terms of volume discharge (behind the Urriðafoss), having an average water flow of 193 m³/s. The superlative of "most powerful" comes from its water flow times its fall distance.

Tourist access
Dettifoss is served on its west side by Route 862, a tarmac road built in 2011. Road 862 gives access to Dettifoss in all seasons more and less, while an older gravel road (Route 864) serves the east side and is usually passable in summer only.

On the west bank there are minimal facilities, including a pit toilet, maintained hiking path and a view-platform. On the east bank there is an information panel maintained by the staff of Vatnajökull National Park (), a public toilet, and a trail to the waterfall.

Dettifoss is located on the Diamond Circle, a popular tourist route around Húsavík and Lake Mývatn in North Iceland.

In media
The musical composition "Dettifoss" (Op. 57) by Jón Leifs is inspired by this waterfall.

The waterfall is featured in the 2012 science-fiction film Prometheus, standing in as landscape on a primordial Earth-like planet.

let's work and have fun
The more the competitive context is fluid and exposed to new risk, the more factors such as the satisfaction and well-being of human resources becomes decisive. The current challenge is to identify organisational mechanisms that are suitable for creating and maintaining a positive company climate, maximising performance though policies of incentives and professional growth that also reinforce a sense of belonging and loyalty towards the company.
The initial condition necessary for the definition of a reasoned programme of actions consists in a double "photograph" of the situation as it stands: on a structural level, in order to assess what the company has done and is doing in terms of human resources in order to involve them and build loyalty; on a personal level, listening to staff in order to assess to what extent each member effectively feels involved by the company and willing to contribute.
the protocol: people first
The People 4sustainability® protocol defines the intervention plans that can be implemented in the company in order to increase performance and well-being among staff with a view to continuous improvement. What are the weak points and what are the positive aspects on which to build? Do people identify with the company and its management? In what way to they share the sustainability policies? How can the level of satisfaction be measured and monitored over time? Placing people at the centre means answering these questions and then working to translate the priorities identified into smart solutions in order to establish the theme of working together as a distinctive factor for aggregation and loyalty-building.
three steps for change
configuration of the initial assessment
collection and analytical observation of data
identification of improvement actions
the release: values to be declared
As all initiatives of our roadmap, PEOPLE 4sustainability® sets out a pathway that does not end with the publishing of the survey results. With a view to continual improvement, the data collected is brought together in a report whose KPIs measure and communicate to stakeholders the performance achieved. This tool can also be used in communication to the market as an index of Corporate Social Responsibility.

County Office of Education to manage county's EdTV Channel
December 28, 2017 By Publisher Leave a Comment
CCCOE to partner with county to expand community access television programming focused on local education
The Contra Costa County Office of Education (CCCOE) announced Wednesday that the agency will begin to coordinate local education programming for the Contra Costa County Education Channel, EdTV. CCCOE, with support from Contra Costa Television (CCTV), will be providing more access of quality, local pre-K through College educational programming to residents, students, educators and stakeholders in Contra Costa County.
"We are extremely excited to begin promoting education in Contra Costa County through the power of community access television," said Karen Sakata, Contra Costa County Superintendent of Schools. "This partnership with the County will enable us to provide a voice and a forum to students, schools, school districts and higher education in our County so they can effectively tell their stories through video."
EdTV, an Educational Access channel, is a basic cable TV service on Comcast Channel 32 and AT&T U-verse Channel 99, and is available throughout most of Contra Costa County. Currently, EdTV is unavailable to cable subscribers in San Ramon as well as WAVE subscribers. EdTV is one of a handful of PEG (Public, Education and Government) Access Channels that operate in Contra Costa County. All of these channels are carried in Standard Definition. Contra Costa Television (CCTV) currently manages five PEG channels. Online streaming of EdTV and availability of online video on demand will also be explored.
"Contra Costa County is home to nearly 400 K-12 public and private schools, 18 school districts, as well as several institutions of higher education, said Terry Koehne, Chief Communications Officer for the Contra Costa County Office of Education. "Each of these local education agencies would have the ability to publish unique, locally produced content and bulletin board material to EdTV, thus providing direct access to a majority of Contra Costa County residents and businesses; that is our goal."
The role of the County Office of Education will be to work in collaboration with CCTV to direct the overall content and programming schedule for the channel, approve video and bulletin board content through the development of content submission guidelines, and promote EdTV using all communication tools available.
"It is a natural fit for the County Office of Education to take on this role," said Chris Verdugo, Interim Director of Communications and Media for Contra Costa County. "We look forward to more quality content that promotes and impacts our local education communities."

Voyager postpones mobile service launch, citing Web attack
The mobile startup had planned to open for business on Tuesday morning
Stephen Lawson (IDG News Service) on 16 May, 2012 05:10
Voyager Mobile, a startup promising cheap, unlimited mobile service around the U.S., has postponed the launch it planned for Tuesday, saying a malicious attack took down its website.
Voyager announced on Monday that it would launch a nationwide 3G and 4G service with unlimited plans starting at US$19 per month, with no contracts or credit checks. The service would also include Voyager Rewards, which would let users earn points by talking on the phone and exchange them for airline miles, phone upgrades, gift cards and free monthly service.
The launch was set for 6 a.m. Eastern Time Tuesday. But a few hours later, the company's home page showed only a message saying the launch was postponed.
"During its Tuesday, May 15 launch, Voyager Mobile experienced a malicious network attack to its primary website: voyagermobile.com. Due to the network outage, Voyager Mobile is postponing its launch to a time and date in the very near future," the site said. "Our goal of low cost wireless service for all will not be undermined and we strive to continue the voyage for a better wireless world."
The Voyager Mobile Twitter account had said the site was live but shortly after tweeted, "Someone just packet-attacked the Voyager Mobile website. We're restoring services shortly." The company could not immediately be reached for comment on Tuesday.
Voyager is based in Knoxville, Tennessee. It said Monday it would launch first in selected states and later expand to cover the whole country. The company said it would offer "most Android and Windows smartphones."
The market for low-cost, no-contract mobile services is heating up. FreedomPop, a startup backed by Skype co-founder Niklas Zennstrom, is preparing to launch free 4G mobile service and plans to use Sprint Nextel's network. Last week, Sprint's own no-contract brands, Boost and Virgin Mobile, started offering 4G service over Clearwire's WiMax network.

Why the UK Intellectual Property Office (UK-IPO) Cannot Ignore Judges, Whereas the EPO Can (and Does)
Posted in Europe, Patents at 4:53 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
EPO managers are trumpeting sustained revenue growth by granting illegitimate European Patents
Summary: The European Patent Convention (EPC) ceased to matter, judges' interpretation of it no longer matters either; the EPO exploits this to grant hundreds of thousands of dodgy software patents, then trumpet "growth"
THE U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's (USPTO) relatively new Director strongly antagonises 35 U.S.C. § 101/Alice (SCOTUS decision from half a decade ago). He also opposes much of what the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) is doing — more or less the equivalent of Battistelli's attitude towards BoA. Meanwhile, EPO President António Campinos keeps pushing software patents in Europe in defiance of the EPC, in defiance of courts, and even in violation of directions from Parliament. So there's some commonality there and it's hardly surprising that Campinos can be seen with the Director of the USPTO more than he can be seen with any scientist.
Yesterday Watchtroll's main headline said that "Alice is Due for Reversal" (no factual basis for this; Watchtroll comes up with what China, then US Democrats, and then Trump called "fake news"); it also said "Apple is Afraid of Inventors, Not Patent Trolls". Those so-called 'inventors' never created anything; some just bought bogus software patents in auctions and preyed on Texan courts. But the Director of the Office now defends these trolls, as does Campinos, who keeps meeting trolls' front groups and advocates SEP/FRAND injustice.
"Like "AI" and "blockchain"? "4IR" and "Industry 4.0″? "IoT" and "ICT"? What other buzzwords for software patents? "CII" maybe?"What has the EPO become? Who does it work for? Yesterday it retweeted Siemens after it had bragged about patent numbers. "It is not a competition and many of these patents are bunk" was my response to them. The EPO later wrote: "As a patent office we are prepared to face the challenges brought by emerging digital technologies."
Like "AI" and "blockchain"? "4IR" and "Industry 4.0″? "IoT" and "ICT"? What other buzzwords for software patents? "CII" maybe?
The EPO just wishes to grant software patents against the law (it asks applicants to call them something else). Then it will find a way to make it sound like there's a 40% growth in patents. IAM, the propaganda arm of the EPO, has just published this piece from Carpmaels & Ransford LLP. It's promoting software patents not only in the EPO but also the UK-IPO (emphasis below is ours):
In the past, the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) has attempted to follow the EPO's approach to software and business method-related inventions. However, the UKIPO is bound by the precedents set by UK courts. This can often result in disparity between what the EPO and UKIPO will allow.
Practice in the United Kingdom was defined in a UK Court of Appeal judgment in Fujitsu Limited's application, which was an appeal against a decision to refuse an application relating to crystal modelling using a computer. The judge in this case confirmed that a criterion for patentability of subject matter that, on the face of it, falls within the statutory exclusions was that the claimed invention should provide a technical contribution in order to be patentable. Following Fujitsu in the United Kingdom and the IBM cases at the EPO, the UKIPO issued a practice notice stating that its practice towards software-related inventions would "remain in step with that of the European Patent Office".
However, when the EPO moved to its inventiveness test following the Pension Benefits and Hitachi cases, the UKIPO continued to apply the technical contribution approach, as it had to follow the precedent established in Fujitsu. There was therefore a disparity in the way in which the UKIPO and EPO viewed the wording of the European Patent Convention.
It has already been ruled in courts, e.g. in France, that the EPO intentionally misinterprets the European Patent Convention. But the EPO arrogantly ignores what judges are saying, at times even attacking judges. Just like Watchtroll and Director Iancu do (we've already covered Iancu's worrisome rhetoric). Does that not make the EPO a lawless organisation? █

The collection of timber furniture and joinery pieces created for Port Officers House use sustainable local timbers to purposefully connect the arts with contemporary timber detailing and manufacturing.
Architect and furniture designer join forces to pay tribute to the owners Robert and Ruth, who have a deep love of Tasmanian timber and support for local designers. Dunsmuir and Birrelli have used cutting-edge CAD and timber technologies at Port Officers House, purposefully connecting the arts with contemporary timber detailing and manufacturing.
The timbers used in the architecture and furniture at Port Officers House shift away from the anonymity of consumers goods, providing meaningful connections with finished timber objects – tables, chairs, beds, stairs, and joinery – to create 'conversations' not just 'convenience'. The convenience of ready-made products and furniture too often lacks design integrity and objects quickly churn from consumption into waste as landfill. The timber furniture and joinery of Port Officers House leads by example, providing timber lovers cost-effective, good quality furniture and joinery to individualise their lifestyles and spaces.
The architectural joinery features solid and veneered Tasmanian oak to ensure an endemic authenticity to the bespoke interiors of Port Officers House on Salamanca Place, Hobart. Tasmanian oak was chosen for its durability, unique visual quality, a sustainable local timber. Timber was chosen as an essential materia to specifically contrast against raw concrete floors and ceilings. Tasmanian oak hues imbue the building with a friendly, inviting, and measured tectonic expression. Stairs, handrails and fenestrations, full height internal and external doors are precision finished in solid Tasmanian oak. The stable solid internal timber doors bifold to allow an underground convict wall turn into a guest room and study. The tactile and warm visual qualities make a luxurious house, a dream home. Like the touch and feel of putting on a favourite coat, the natural Tasmanian timbers are placed on elements within the house that you come close to and touch, like handrails and doors. The detailing is exceptional. Full height Tasmanian oak veneered cupboards turn into a low storage units and shelf – set beside a freestanding bath, big enough for two, perfect for bubbles and a view into the Japanese courtyard. Joinery acts as furniture for displaying sculptures and storing books.
The tables designed for Port Officers House celebrate the clients deep connection to Tasmania through the use of special timbers they collected over twenty years. The dining suite combines the acclaimed XO chair with a bespoke table crafted from some of the last pink myrtle harvested from the pipe line corridor in Tasmania's South West. Long and slender in form the table responds to site, providing for a variety of entertaining options while celebrating the material, scale and timelessness unique to this Tasmanian timber. The outdoor setting utilises a minimum of materials, devoid of finish which in time will mellow to shades of silver. The stainless steel structure supports slats machined from celery top pine, timber which the client has stored since the late 1990s. The mis-matched boards were ripped through 90 degrees leaving the internal faces textured with the original saw millers marks while providing for a flat uniform surface, leaving a lasting reminder to the origins of the timber. Tables are made to the same width and height allowing the client to bring them together inside to create comfortable dining for up to eighteen guests. Dining table and XO chairs, finished in mirothane satin clear.
The bespoke bedroom furniture found in Port Officers House is the result of a carefully considered material pallet while elevating a much underrated Tasmanian timber – one often selected for utility over beauty. The inherent beauty and strength found in Tasmanian oak lends itself perfectly to the design and crafting of contemporary furniture, that responds to place and connects with the existing 1840s heritage sandstone wall. The master bed suite emphases the stability and strength of Tasmanian oak expressed through a heavily tapered pedestal base and finely detailed mitred drawers. A balance of rigid geometry with a softening of detail and profile resonates with the qualities of the built environment. The guest room furniture addresses a number of key practical considerations in respect to the site's existing sandstone wall. The bed head sits gently off the stone wall, giving separation while at the same time providing a sense of enclosure and comfort with the introduction of the gentle folds. It also provides a platform for light switches and a small night shelf for a phone or glasses. All of the bedroom furniture is made from solid timber and veneered panels in Tasmanian oak and finished with mirothane satin clear.

Earlier this year, a Wall Street Journal article by Andrew Blackman addressed the topic of "The Smartest Ways to Use Email at Work." You may be surprised by what the experts had to report. Take a look, then decide what works for your company culture.
"In companies whose cultures emphasize speed of response, workers are more stressed, less productive, more reactive and less likely to think strategically. Handling emails after hours is also detrimental. People who receive an email during off hours may feel more pressure to respond, and those who do aren't more efficient – they simply generate a higher volume of mail, without actually getting more work done.
"It's one of the longest standing pieces of conventional wisdom about email – all caps means you're shouting. But new research suggests that isn't always right. When used judiciously, a word or two in capital letters can provide emphasis, communicate urgency or inject humor. So, although typing a whole email in capitals is a no-no, there's nothing wrong with using all caps in smaller doses.
"Studies have found that in business communication, emoticons and emojis can be useful mostly for internal communication within teams. When you're using emoticons with strangers, on the other hand, they can have unintended consequences.
Ella Glikson, a postdoctoral fellow at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon Tepper School of Business, conducted an experiment with fellow researchers at the University of Haifa in Israel and the University of Amsterdam to examine the effect of using a smiley face on first impressions in a business context.

Q: Get all rows inside a foreach loop and echo an array result? I'm trying to get all rows inside a foreach loop but it's not working as it should.
<?php
foreach ($locations_loop as $row):

    $lr_id  = $row["id"];
    $stmtlr = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM locations_rating WHERE l_id = {$lr_id}");
    $stmtlr->execute();
    $stlr_loop = $stmtlr->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
    if (empty($stlr_loop)) {
        $loc_rate[] = "0";
    } else {
        foreach($stlr_loop as $rowlr):
            $loc_rate[] = $rowlr["stars"];
        endforeach;
    }

    $rating_array = array_values($loc_rate);
    $rating_avg   = array_sum($rating_array) / count($rating_array);
?>
<?=round($rating_avg, 1);?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

$rating_avg outputs something else every time the script runs. It works fine outside a foreach loop tho. I tried to join the two table but no luck since it only outputs only one row.

A: I might be thinking too far out of the box, but this is just one technique that occurred to me which will ensure that all location ids will receive an average value in the result set.
Assuming $locations_loop (a poor name for a variable containing array type data, tbh) has the following data:
$locations_loop = [
    ['id' => 1],
    ['id' => 2],
    ['id' => 3],
    ['id' => 4],
];

And you have a database table with the following schema: (db-fiddle demo)
CREATE TABLE `locations_rating` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `l_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `stars` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

INSERT INTO `locations_rating` (`id`, `l_id`, `stars`) VALUES
(1, 3, 4),
(2, 2, 2),
(3, 1, 0),
(4, 2, 5),
(5, 3, 2),
(6, 1, 10);

Then you can get all of your data in one trip to the database by creating a "derived table" from your column of id values, then joining the database data to them.  Something like this:
SELECT def.l_id,
       ROUND(AVG(COALESCE(stars, 0)), 1) avg
FROM (
  (SELECT 1 AS l_id)
  UNION (SELECT 2)
  UNION (SELECT 3)
  UNION (SELECT 4)
 ) AS def
LEFT JOIN locations_rating AS loc ON def.l_id = loc.l_id
GROUP BY def.l_id

To do this with a prepared statement and bound parameters:
$locationIds = array_column($locations_loop, 'id');
$countIds = count($locationIds);

$fabricatedRows = implode(' UNION ', array_fill(0, $countIds, '(SELECT ? AS l_id)'));

$sql = "SELECT derived.l_id,
               ROUND(AVG(COALESCE(stars, 0)), 1) avg
        ($fabricatedRows) AS derived
        LEFT JOIN locations_rating as loc ON derived.l_id = loc.l_id
        GROUP BY def.l_id";
$stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute($locationIds);
var_export($stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC));

Should output:  (I tested this technique to be successful in my local environment)
[
    ['l_id' => 1, 'avg' => 5.0],
    ['l_id' => 2, 'avg' => 3.5],
    ['l_id' => 3, 'avg' => 3.0],
    ['l_id' => 4, 'avg' => 0.0],
]

Artificial Intelligence is making its presence felt across industries and the financial services sector is at the forefront of this evolution.
Banks and credit card companies already store huge amounts of customer information and AI will play a big role in putting all that information into action. While this would result in higher efficiency and improved effectiveness, it would also ensure better customer service, superior fraud protection, enhanced decision making, and smarter financial guidance.
Let's take a look at the 4 ways Artificial Intelligence will impact the financial sector.
According to Gartner − By 2020, more than 85% of financial services businesses will manage their customer interactions without a human. With the introduction of Chatbots or 'virtual agents', customers no longer have to wait to 'talk to an executive' or 'request a call back'. They can direct their questions to an AI-driven chat bot round-the-clock and expect a prompt and effective resolution. With Natural Language Generation (NLG), chat bots can now mimic human behavior and answer queries with a human touch. Not only will this boost customer service but also reduce costs and optimize resources by freeing up human agents to take on more complex tasks.
Machine learning applications have the ability to understand the need of each individual customer by analyzing the previous account activity and help the customer to make better product selection offered by banking & financial service companies.
At some point, we've all received a phone call from our bank or our credit card company to check whether a transaction made on our account was fraudulent. In banking terms, this is called fraud detection. One of the biggest and the most sensitive challenges faced by financial services organizations across the world is preventing their customers from fraudulent activity. Considering that financial frauds exceed $50 billion in U.S. alone, that's not surprising.
Artificial Intelligence can look for signs of suspicious activity that humans don't. With advanced machine learning algorithms, businesses can now compare each transaction against the account history and identify anomalies such as out of state purchase, large cash withdrawal etc. and delay or block the transaction. It's evident why AI-enabled fraud protection is already seen as a great benefit.
Stock markets across the world are run by highly sophisticated trading algorithms. However, even though computer systems have already transformed stock trading over the last few decades AI is still limited to basic reasoning in these markets.
Machine learning is set to change this replacing trading theory based decisions with data driven decisions. Over time, these systems can teach themselves to become more efficient and to detect signals that represent an opportunity for better optimization. While humans will continue to play a critical role, an increasing number of financial transactions and decisions are making their way to computer systems. Predictably, investment in artificial intelligence and machine learning will be of great significance.
With Artificial Intelligence, banks can make investment recommendations and offer personalized investment strategies to customers. By analyzing customer behavior based on multiple parameters such as web activity, mobile app usage, etc., machine learning software can help predict the effectiveness of a marketing strategy for a given customer. This will enable more banks and financial institutions to predict customer preferences and offer customers the right products, at the right time.

Q: How to create a table with consecutive numbers I need a helper table with only one int(11) column, that contains a row for each consecutive number from 1 to a given max. Can this be done with pure SQL?
Example:
INSERT INTO `helper`('itnum') VALUES (1),(2),(3),...(999999),(1000000);

I need a statement like this, but without explicitly listing all the entries to be made.

A: i think to do this, you have to execute your insert inside a loop in your SGBD procedure, or outside (php script, ...).

A: How about something like this:
DELIMITER |
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS insert_helper_records |
CREATE PROCEDURE insert_helper_records(a_max INTEGER)
BEGIN
    DECLARE v_iteration INTEGER;
    SET v_iteration := 1;
    insert_loop: LOOP
        INSERT INTO helper(itnum) VALUES (v_iteration);
        SET v_iteration := v_iteration + 1;
        IF v_iteration = a_max THEN
            LEAVE insert_loop;
        END IF;
    END LOOP;
END |
DELIMITER ;

Then call it however you want like:
SELECT insert_helper_records(999999) FROM DUAL;

Our aim is to bring out relationships that exist in the society: Director/ producer Ajai Sinha
Ajai Sinha is a renowned director / producer who has created new benchmarks in storytelling on Indian Television with every show that he has created. His repertoire of work includes landmark shows like Hasratein, Astitva – Ek Prem Kahani, Justajoo and Ghar Ek Sapnaa amongst many others. Apart from being an outstanding director on television, he has also acted, directed and written for plays on stage.
Having worked in more than 50 plays and TV serials viz., Chunauti, Mahabharat, Banate Bigadate and Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi, he has also extensively worked in Delhi IPTA Sheila Bhatia's Delhi Art Theatre, Ramesh Mehta's Three Arts Club, Bombay's Majma and Alyque Padamsee's theatre group.
Ajai Sinha has marked his return to Indian Television with Aadhe Adhoore. The show airs on Zindagi every Mon to Sat at 9.50 pm. Besides being the director, his production company, Ananda Films is also producing the series.
Aadhe Adhoore is a story of Jassi who tries to strike a perfect balance between the emotions she feels and the circumstance she finds herself trapped in, even while she is the perfect wife, perfect bahu, and perfect bhabhi.A compelling concept of relationships, betrayal and unrequited emotion, the show turns the spotlight on the new age woman who is in touch with her deeper self, knows who she is and is not apologetic about it.
Do tell us Ajai Ji why was there such a large gap and what did you do in that time?
My break with Aadhe Adhoore was quite interesting. Before my 3-4 year hiatus, I wanted to do something that suited me more, something that interested me and allowed me to bring out something innovative. I wanted to do something where I could explore relationships in detail and bring something interesting to the audiences. My kind of stories was nowhere on TV and realistic stories weren't being highlighted. So I waited, till I found something and it clicked my mind.
While I was on a break, I focused on music, played the piano, took some trips abroad, and explored my Interests.
Your show on Zindagi – Aadhe Adhoore, what's new about this show? Most channels today, are taking inspiration from reality and making shows around them. Your show, from what I have come to know, is about a young girl who falls in love with her brother-in-law and this is quite a controversial topic. Tell us more about the show?
The relationship between Jassi and Viren is one aspect of the show and the entire story is a sensitive narrative around their lives and their loved ones. That's a very broad interpretation and as it forms the background of the show, the story is all about portraying relationships in life that can never be fulfilled. There can be many such examples, like the one this show is based on, but the idea is to depict relationships that do not go the full circle and ask, what if they could run their course, rather than depict them as a crime. How we see the subject is a matter of our perspective.
What do you want to tell your viewers through this show?
We merely wish to portray our story and do so in an interesting manner. There is no specific message in the show, it's about a girl balancing all her relationships. Viewers will always have varied perspectives on something which isn't highlighted in everyday life. It's a mature, sensitive story that surely has viewers hooked on it.
And Ajai ji, tell us what else are you up to now?
I am busy with Aadhe Adhoore for now and our plan is to depict more stories in the future with the Aadhe Adhoore theme. Stories that you wouldn't call fairy tales. Like a boy and a girl who get married, have children and then one of them passes away. Many more stories can be done interestingly. Our aim remains bringing out relationships that exist in society.
So can we say that the message from this conversation is, people do many things but don't admit to doing those things that are seen even with a hint of doubt?
Yes absolutely, this is the perspective that exists in society. People will do whatever their heart desires but are often not willing to own up to them.

Q: Azure AD Sync, duplicate user edit, Azure has emailed me and has suggested I follow steps found at Identity synchronization and duplicate attribute resiliency
I ran IDFIX, but I missed a row (one account had an incorrect UPN)
So, now after my sync I see

As you can see, C Smith is in twice.
I guess I need to delete him from Azure AD even though he is marked as a Windows Server AD, I suspect that if I can delete him and sync again it will add the correct details to Azure AD to mark it as a Windows Server AD account.
I have since corrected the UPN issue, but I still see separate accounts plus I get a duplicate sync error emailed to me.
btw, I used the browser DEV tools to edit the name before I took the screenshot, I don't own mycorp.co.uk :)

A: To fix, I did the following.

*

*Disable DirSync
Set-MsolDirSyncEnabled $false

*Delete user with (The bogus Windows Server AD one)
Remove-MsolUser

*Enable DirSync
Set-MsolDirSyncEnabled $true

*Delete from Recycle bin with
Remove-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName <user> -RemoveFromRecycleBin

*Find the users ObjectID
ldifde -d "CN=Christian Smith,CN=Users,DC=tndev,DC=local" -f C:\user.txt

*Find objectGUID:: in c:\user.txt

*Update AzureID, setting the object ID to sync with to
Set-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName <upn> -ImmutableId <objectGUID>

*Now, sync with
Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial
