Frederick Jackson, the author of a play which was not a theatrical success, sued to recover damages assertedly resulting from the unauthorized use of its title. The principal ground relied upon as requiring a reversal of the judgment in his favor is that the evidence shows no acquisition by the title of a secondary meaning.
The first count of the complaint alleged that Jackson is the author of a play which he entitled "Slightly Scandalous." The play was rehearsed in Los Angeles and produced in Philadelphia and New York with publicity announcing the times of performance. The title thereby acquired a secondary meaning. Later, Universal produced a motion picture under the same title. Universal's distribution, advertising and showing of its picture misled the public and infringed upon Jackson's right in the title of his play. The second count of the complaint alleged that Universal had made a "deliberate, wrongful and unfair misappropriation and use of plaintiff's name and title" in connection with the motion picture. Universal denied these allegations generally.
The evidence presented upon trial may be summarized as follows: Jackson is a writer with about 40 years of experience. He has written plays which were produced in New York and London and sold the motion picture rights to several of them. In 1943, he wrote "Slightly Scandalous." In the following year, while the play was being rehearsed in Los Angeles prior to production, a press agent was employed to publicize it. During the next two months about 40 stories concerning it were prepared and distributed to 550 metropolitan and suburban newspapers.
Only a small percentage of this material was published. A one-inch item appeared in the Hollywood Reporter, a trade journal. It stated that the play would open in Philadelphia and be presented in New York two weeks later with Janet Beecher in the leading role. The Los Angeles Evening Herald-Express, with a daily circulation of 325,000, reported that the author was adding final directorial touches to "Slightly Scandalous" before its initial production in Philadelphia.
Variety, a theatrical magazine having a circulation of 600,000 and sold at newsstands in the principal cities, included reference to the play in a section entitled "Shows in Rehearsal." The Los Angeles Times, which has a daily circulation in excess of 280,000, mentioned in a story concerning another play that the title of the one in which Janet Beecher was to be starred had been changed to "Slightly Scandalous." [36 Cal. 2d 119] Rehearsal would commence in Hollywood immediately, it was said, preparatory to a New York appearance.
The play opened in Philadelphia as scheduled. It was advertised in newspapers there, prior to and during its two weeks run, in space ranging from 10 to 60 lines. The producer also placed 20,000 "heralds" in hotels and restaurants and used outdoor advertising with "24-sheets" on 50 poster boards.
The play ran for almost two weeks in Philadelphia. The drama critics were uncomplimentary, and although the theater was nearly filled to its capacity of 1,500 persons at one performance, attendance at all of the others averaged about 200. The total of the audiences at the 15 performances did not exceed 3,000.
The New York opening followed, but the play closed after seven performances. Advertising was carried by 10 newspapers there in space varying from 12 to 50 lines. But, as in Philadelphia, the newspaper comments were critical and the public showed little interest. In a theater which seated 1,000 there was an average attendance of about 100 at each performance. The play has not since been presented.
A witness for Jackson, after qualifying as an expert, testified that "Some of the most successful pictures have been made of plays that have been flops." Examples were cited. This testimony was corroborated by other witnesses.
To establish a secondary meaning to the title of his play, Jackson presented the testimony of five witnesses. Three of them told the jury that they had seen reviews or advertisements of the play and thought that the picture was based upon it. The testimony of the other two was substantially to the same effect.
Other testimony showed that Jackson's agent requested Universal Pictures to "cover" the eastern production of the play after it had been submitted to that company's West Coast story editor during the period of rehearsal in Los Angeles. A report concerning the play and its reception on Broadway was sent to the company's executive offices.
About two years later, Universal released and distributed throughout the country a motion picture by the same name. It was stipulated that three months before this picture was released, Universal knew of Jackson's play and referred to their attorneys the question as to whether the title "Slightly Scandalous" should be selected for their production. The picture originally carried the title, "Oh Say Can You Sing." [36 Cal. 2d 120] The attorneys for Universal were notified by Jackson's attorney that his client would sue for damages if the title to his play were used.
Jackson does not claim that there is any similarity whatever between the picture and the play. He bases his cause of action entirely upon the use of the title.
The evidence offered by Universal generally is to the effect that the public did not connect the motion picture with Jackson's play and only a handful of people had previously heard of the title. In the company's defense, its witnesses stressed the unsuccessful presentations in Philadelphia and New York.
As grounds for the reversal of the judgment, Universal asserts that the evidence is not sufficient to justify the conclusion that "Slightly Scandalous" had acquired and retained a secondary meaning with relation to Jackson's play. The company also challenges an instruction as incorrect and prejudicially erroneous. Instructions offered by it were erroneously refused, it is asserted, and Jackson's damages in the amount of $17,500 are excessive. It is also claimed that the title was abandoned by Jackson's two-year nonuse of it. Finally, the appellant charges, Jackson's attorney was guilty of prejudicial conduct.
The position of Jackson is that the question as to whether a secondary meaning has attached to a literary or dramatic title is a question of fact. As substantial evidence sufficient to justify the jury's verdict, he refers to the testimony concerning prior use, advertising, and the general impression of the public in New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles. He also relies upon the statements of his five witnesses that because of the title they associated the play with the motion picture. Nation-wide knowledge of a title is not essential to the acquisition of a secondary meaning, he declares, nor is success of the play a requirement. The correct test, as he analyzes the question, is whether an effect or reaction is created upon the public mind. He also contends that deliberate and unauthorized appropriation of a prior user's name, title or trademark is actionable.
As to the claimed procedural errors, the conduct of counsel was not prejudicial, he asserts, because it was promptly cured by an instruction to the jury. Moreover, the denial of the motion for a new trial was a determination that it did not influence the jury.
The points presented by amici curiae for Jackson are broader [36 Cal. 2d 121] in scope. It is claimed that secondary meaning is established when the title is identified by the general public and it does not depend upon popularity. Although a play is unpopular or "panned" by the critics, unfavorable comments, or any discussion of the play, fixes the title in the mind of the general public as the product of a particular playwright. Moreover, widespread publicity and advertising renders a title valuable and subject to protection entirely apart from rights derived from secondary meaning. The "general public," they say, need only be a substantial number of people not necessarily residing throughout the nation.
 An author of a play has no inherent right in the title to his production. (Paramore v. Mack Sennett, Inc., 9 F.2d 66, 67; Martenet v. United Artists Corp., 56 F. Supp. 639, 640.) Only when the title has acquired a secondary meaning identifying it in the public mind with the play is he entitled to its exclusive use. (Warner Bros. Pictures v. Majestic Pictures Corp., 70 F.2d 310, 311; Amusement S. Corp. v. Academy Pictures D. Corp., 162 Misc. 608 [294 N.Y.S. 279]; see Nims, Unfair Competition and Trade Marks [4th ed. 1947], § 274-a.) Therefore, regardless of any deliberate use by Universal of "Slightly Scandalous" with knowledge of Jackson's prior use, he is not entitled to damages unless his literary product had acquired a secondary meaning.
 There is no initial property right in household semantics or words which are merely descriptive, fanciful or geographic in nature (G. & C. Merriam Co. v. Saalfield, 198 F. 369, 373 [117 C.C.A. 245]). However, if words have been used by an author or manufacturer in such a manner that the public has learned to associate them with the product, book or play, they acquire a "secondary meaning." This principle, which was first applied in trademark cases, renders the words or symbols protectible and transferable because of that association. A play may become known to the public by its title, which thereby acquires a secondary meaning and attains a protectible status (Manners v. Triangle Film Corp., 247 F. 301 [159 C.C.A. 395]; Hemingway v. Film Alliance of United States, Inc., 174 Misc. 725 [21 N.Y.S.2d 827]).
 There is substantial evidence in the record to support the implied finding of the jury that "Slightly Scandalous" had acquired a secondary meaning. Jackson's play was publicized in three of the largest cities in this country. The rehearsal and production of the play were announced in dramatic and motion picture journals in Hollywood and New York. Although only about 3,750 persons attended performances of the play, there is no basis for a holding, as a matter of law, that they and the undetermined readers who saw the advertising are not sufficient in number to provide a basis for secondary meaning.
 The precise size of this segment of the public is important in connection with the amount of damages which should be awarded, but it does not determine whether the title has acquired a secondary meaning.
This court, in speaking of the word "public," has said that it " '... does not mean all the people, nor most of the people, nor very many of the people of a place, but so many of them as contradistinguishes them from a few.' " (Mary Pickford Co. v. Bayly Bros., Inc., 12 Cal. 2d 501, 514 [86 P.2d 102].) The title of a play produced only in New York may acquire a secondary meaning which entitles it to protection throughout the United States. (Aronson v. Fleckenstein, 28 F. 75; Hemingway v. Film Alliance of United States, Inc., 174 Misc. 725 [21 N.Y.S.2d 827]; Frohman v. Payton, 34 Misc. 275 [68 N.Y.S. 849].) And the writer of a play recovered damages for the unauthorized use of its title although it was never produced in any city in the United States but had run for some weeks in Paris, France (Frohman v. Wm. Morris, 68 Misc. 461 [123 N.Y.S. 1090]).
 Popularity is not a requirement for secondary meaning because notoriety and adverse discussion may bring about widespread identification of the play by its title and may pique the public interest. Likewise, advertising, even of an unpopular play, may cause the public to identify it as one which has been a "Broadway production."
In all probability only a very small percentage of persons who know something about plays can remember or identify the names of the authors. Usually, advertising and publicity are concentrated upon the title and the actors rather than the name of the playwright. There is no logical basis for holding that a public well acquainted with the title and the play could not confer secondary meaning upon that title merely because of unfamiliarity with the author's name.
 The question of abandonment falls within the same category; it is one of fact to be determined by the jury upon [36 Cal. 2d 124] substantial evidence. (International Film Service Co., Inc. v. Associated Producers, Inc., 273 F. 585; Goldman v. R.K.O. Radio Pictures, Inc., 149 Misc. 226 [267 N.Y.S. 28].) In Goldman v. R.K.O. Radio Pictures, Inc., supra, at p. 29 [267 N.Y.S.], the court stated: "... a lapse of 13 years in the use of a title, under the circumstances of this case, raises a question of fact as to whether the title ['The Public Defender'] still retains a secondary significance. ..."
 In the present case, there is evidence that several plays written by Jackson had been sold to motion picture producers, from two to ten years after they were produced in New York. It is also significant that in the United States, copyrights protect literary and dramatic properties for an initial period of 28 years with the right of renewal. The evidence, that Jackson had not produced his play for two years after it had closed in New York, does not compel a holding, as a matter of law, that he had abandoned his rights.
 The instruction given at the request of Jackson and attacked as prejudicially erroneous refers to exhibits showing the extent of the advertising in the eastern cities at a total cost of $3,300. It is argued that although the court correctly directed the jury not to allow compensation for this expense, the cost of the advertising charges should not have been allowed in evidence. But the instruction directed the jury to limit its consideration to "... the value of the title in question and whether it had acquired a secondary meaning as hereinbefore defined, as a result of volume or extent of advertising." Considering the instruction as a whole, it correctly presented the applicable rule of law.
 The rejected instructions concerned the principle that there is no property right implicit in the name or title of a literary work until a secondary meaning has attached to it. But in at least five different instructions, one of which was requested by Universal, the jury was told that the burden of proving a secondary meaning to the title of his play rested upon Jackson. Read together, they adequately covered the subject.
 Considering the issue of damages, the sum of $17,500 does not appear to be excessive. The record includes testimony to the effect that other titles to unsuccessful plays have been sold for larger amounts. The value of property wrongfully taken is a matter for the determination of the jury and the evidence as a whole supports the award in Jackson's favor.
 The conduct of counsel attacked as prejudicial was [36 Cal. 2d 125] the cross-examination of an expert witness of Universal. He was asked whether he was prejudiced because his employer "was just held for $25,000 damages in an action [of the same kind]." The objection of Universal was sustained, and the jury directed to disregard the whole incident. Another occurrence, cited as misconduct, involved a quarrel between counsel as to which of them submitted a certain document.
There is no showing that the reference to other litigation was untrue. Considering the record as a whole and the ruling upon the motion for a new trial, it cannot be said that the misconduct was prejudicial.
Gibson, C.J., Shenk, J., Carter, J., Traynor, J., Schauer, J., and Spence, J., concurred.


If it seems like you've heard conflicting advice in the media about brain games and other ways to make your brain "younger," you're right. A few years ago, pricey brain-game software (and hours at the computer) were thought to accomplish this…and then, soon after, almost completely discredited. In fact, physical exercise, like Ping-Pong and dancing, have held the brain-preservation spotlight recently.
Well, our knowledge about what can really keep your brain humming keeps getting better, and now, according to a new study from the Center for BrainHealth at The University of Texas at Dallas, simple yet direct brain-training exercises—not games—should be part of any plan to keep your brain young because they can make your brain act 20 years younger. Will this be the last word on brain preservation? Of course not. But when it comes to these latest exercises, they are proved scientifically…they don't take up a lot of time…and it won't cost you anything to try them.
For the 12-week study, 58 cognitively normal people ranging in age from 56 to 75 were randomly divided into three groups—a cognitive-training group, a physical exercise group and a control group.
Members of the cognitive-training group attended weekly 60-minute sessions where they participated in cognitive exercises designed by the researchers that were intended to strengthen "innovative cognition," which is needed for adaptive and flexible thinking—the ability to react to challenging and changing life demands. They also spent two hours a week on homework assignments involving these exercises (we'll share three of them below).
Members of the exercise group did three 60-minute physical workouts per week, alternating between a treadmill and stationary bike. The control group just went on with their lives as usual.
Using MRI scanners, researchers measured how well participants' neurons were working (their "connectivity"), blood flow in the brain and the amount of glucose (energy) their brains used at the beginning, middle and end of the study. Only members of the cognitive-training group showed significant changes—a 30% increase in neuron connectivity on average, an 8% increase in blood flow, the brain's energy supply, and a 17% increase in regional white matter, the fiber bundles that connect different parts of the brain.
Translation? At the end of the study, the cognitive-training group had, on average, improved their brains' fitness so that they worked in many ways like the brains of people 20 years younger. The improved blood flow and regional connectivity were associated with an enhanced ability to think creatively and perform complex reasoning. Thus, greater brain fitness produced higher cognitive performance.
Important: Even though the physical exercise group did not show improved brain function, don't skip fitness workouts. Exercise still conveys benefits ranging from increased fitness and overall physical health to reduced inflammation—and inflammation can be harmful to the brain. So physical exercise does help your brain but in different ways.
Strategic attention. Every day, identify two daily tasks that require fairly deep thinking, such as tracking and analyzing your budget, following a complex new recipe, writing meaningful, personal thank-you notes—or pondering the actionable takeaways from an article about the benefits of cognitive exercises.
Then carve out two 30-minute uninterrupted sessions to focus on them. Choose the time of day you usually feel sharpest. But no matter when it is, make sure that the environment is quiet—no cell phones or any other devices to distract you. And don't get up for a snack or a drink or do anything that will take you off your task during these 30-minute blocks. Why? Because it can take up to 20 minutes to get back on track after an interruption.
Benefit: Over time, you'll find that you can accomplish tasks more quickly and with greater focus.
Five by five.Five times a day, intentionally do nothing for five minutes. Stop whatever you're doing—step away from your desk or laptop, for instance—and let your brain rest, empty out and reset. Just as the muscles in your body need a rest after a long run or strenuous workout, your brain needs to rest after working hard. Do not use the time to plan your vacation or the rest of your day in your head or anything of the sort. You can take a walk or sit still, but don't read, play music or listen to an audiobook. Enjoy the silence and lack of stimulation.
Sometimes it will be obvious when you need these breaks, such as when pushing yourself to keep going on a task is netting little result.
Benefit: Taking brain breaks helps you find clarity, collect your thoughts and, often, see things in a new way.
Innovative thinking. Become aware of and increase the moments when your brain innovates—in other words, create more "aha" moments. You say that it's not possible to purposely create innovative thoughts? Oh, yes, it is! The trick is to get yourself out of your familiar ruts—try a new experience, take on a new challenge, seek ways to improve an existing relationship or an ongoing logistical challenge. Brain "aha" moments usually come when you have brain downtime, when you are in the shower, driving without the radio on or in nature with no earbuds. The more you embrace the brain's capacity to improve even routine activities, tasks and conversations, the greater will be your innovative brainpower.
Start by trying to have at least one innovative thought each day, and work your way up from there as you get better at it. But don't just think these thoughts. As soon as you realize that you see a better way to do or say something, write it down and put some aspect of it into practice. Keep an innovation diary, and challenge yourself to see how many times you innovate each day or week. The strongest brain changes come with the implementation of innovative ideas—just thinking them is not enough.
Benefit: By challenging yourself to do and act on innovative thinking, you put your brain in unknown territory and activate the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, the brain's wonder drug that speeds learning and makes it longer lasting. Additionally, innovative problem-solving helps reduce your fear of failure and fear of the unknown—the awe of a new experience actually recharges the brain.
Carving out blocks of time and keeping a tally of your brain breaks and innovation attempts can seem daunting at first. It's OK to start slowly and gradually add to the time you spend on cognitive exercises. Once you start seeing the benefits in your daily life, you'll want to make more time for these exercises, and they will become a habit. And that's key: For cognitive exercises to work, you need to do them regularly.


In 2017, new car sales in the UK saw their first drop in six years. This may be attributed in part to recent scrutiny which implicates diesel cars as a cause of air pollution, due to their emissions. This has led to government imposing increases in tax and negative public opinion.
With diesel cars depreciating in value every day, have you considered scrapping yours for a cleaner and cheaper alternative?
We've put a few arguments together for why it might be a good idea!
Diesel cars cause four times more pollution than petrol cars. They emit far more nitric oxide into the air than petrol alternatives which can lead to increased risk of respiratory health problems; including asthma, or in more extreme cases cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.
The "Toxin Tax" will make ownership of diesel cars ever more expensive. To combat air pollution, the Government is ready to introduce a number of steps to ensure that fewer diesel cars are on UK roads. The scheme is set to launch in 2019; diesel vehicles will be liable for a daily charge of around £12.50 when driving in city centres.
With negative publicity, increasing health concerns and Government-backed schemes against diesel vehicles, it's no surprise the value of diesel cars is dropping.
In 2017 alone, the value of some used diesel cars dropped by up to 26.3%!
For diesel car owners looking to sell, not only is there less demand from potential buyers but there is an even smaller return on price.
With that in mind, wouldn't it be easier to scrap your car with us?

Destoroyah, a mutation derivative of the Oxygen Destroyer used in 1954 on the original Godzilla and the last foe of the Heisei era, joins the S.H.MonsterArts line! I was excited when Destoroyah was announced as I do not own any figures of it. There are different figures of the kaiju on the market, but none do it justice when it comes to screen accuracy. Priced at a whopping $150, surpassing King Ghidorah's $124 price point, Destoroyah was the largest figure of past released S.H.MonsterArts. Despite the beauty of the figure, it does have some controversial points like the color of its eyes, its wing design, and its lack of accessories. With that in mind, does Destoroyah live up to its hefty price point?
Sculptor Shinichi Wakasa graces the S.H.MonsterArts line with a fantastic,screen accurate sculpt. Destoroyah features ABS and PVC parts that create an incredibly detailed beast. Destoroyah's face is a good example of this. Like King Ghidorah, just about every figure on the market today doesn't seem to capture the monster's face properly. The face on this figure could not be any more accurate to its movie screen counterpart. It's beautifully detailed with crevices and veins. The horn on its head is made of a translucent material so it glows when light shines through it. Destoroyah's head crest shield is also full of bumps, rivets, and crevices accentuating its detail with a non-consistent pattern which makes it look weathered, but in a good way. The eyes are a translucent red rather than yellow as in the film. It's odd because even the box art shows Destoroyah with its eyes properly colored yellow, so why the aesthetic change? At the time this is written, no one knows, but I have a theory that it may be based off what the suit's eyes looked like when the eyes weren't glowing. Either way, it detracts from its signature evil gaze and, instead of a menacing look, the eyes blend with the rest of the head's design, making it hard to see if it really has eyes to begin with.
The neck, arms, and wing frame retain the crustacean elements found in Destoroyah's previous forms. These elements are designed not only to have meticulous detail, but also to allow light refraction to enhance the crustacean-like structure. The claw fingers feature a sharp and jagged look instead of a perfect smooth spherical shape. The shoulders are big and bulky, featuring two big horns on the tips and three smaller horns around the big one. It reminds me of what medieval warriors would wear before they were to embark on a quest with heavy armor. The chest features a similar pattern found on Destoroyah's previous forms which seems to be a defining characteristic for Destoroyah. It looks like a segmented apple pie, but in armor form. The legs are designed with more elements of armor, rather than the crustacean material, specifically around the knee caps. Each knee features nine horns, three of which are medium sized and six which are much smaller. While the legs don't share the crustacean qualities, they still have a reflective coat. The feet are huge and feature three toe claws, two smaller horns above these, and another toe claw on the rear of the foot to provide plenty of stability for this massive figure. Needless to say, Destoroyah looks like it could take the hardest of hits and barely flinch.
Destoroyah has a total of four wings, two large ones for flight and two smaller ones beneath the larger ones. The bigger wings are detailed with lines and rivets, creating a more bat/demon-like wingspan. Instead of segmenting the wings with hinges, (as featured in Fire Rodan's design), the wings have been segmented as individual parts attached to tiny ball joints. It seems like it was done for articulation purposes. Depending on how the wings are positioned, it can look really ugly and unnatural or fantastic and daunting. By keeping the individual segments close together, the wings can be posed in a neutral position similarly to its movie screen form. From a distance it's not too bad, maybe even unnoticeable, but up close it may bother some collectors. I don't think it's the greatest design decision, but it's better than King Ghidorah's.
The back side is layered with horned plates that run from the neck all the way down to the tip of the tail. It's excellently detailed and consistent. The tip of the tail forms a pincer that has sharp linear edges.
Overall, the design is spot on with the exception of the eye color and the weird wing design. At least the wings can be adjusted to look right.
At first glance, Destoroyah looks like a bulky stiff statue. Thankfully, that's not the case as the articulation is surprisingly implemented very well. Without sacrificing the sculpt with articulation seams, Destoroyah can perform basic movements as well as extreme poses. The wing joint system is far better than King Ghidorah's double hinge joint design and now uses a new ball joint and peg system. The pegs offer a new way to secure ball joint movements as well as offer a better range of motion. The head can twist left to right and tilt up and down with ease. Twisting is extreme in both directions and the figure can perform a "cockeyed" look. Tilting down is extremely limited while tilting up is the opposite. The neck and head joints allow tilting the head up at a 90 degree angle, perfect for Destoroyah bellowing into the air and for flight poses. The mouth opens and shuts as expected. WARNING: When moving Destoroyah's head, hold it by the crest and NOT the horn. The horn is made of soft ABS and will rip off if too much pressure is applied.
The torso has very limited movement. There's no way to tilt up or down and it's tough to rotate left or right due to the figure's massive build. It can rotate a smidge though with the proper amount of force. Honestly, even when the torso is rotated to its max potential, it really doesn't add anything to the pose. You'd be better off not moving it as too much pressure will pop off the midsection. The arms are a mixed bag of tricks. They can bend, rotate, and tilt, but the direction and uniformity are a mess. Destoroyah's arms don't have a traditional muscle structure and instead are comprised of crustacean armor. Sometimes these segments can be rotated too much and the arms don't pose right. It takes a good eye to figure out how to put those segments back into the proper rotation so that the arms may again bend correctly. The shoulders are attached to a ball joint and peg system allowing for optimal tilting and rotation. A new feature implemented in Destoroyah's hands is the claw/finger articulation. Each claw is able to move, allowing for various poses. It makes sense since Destoroyah only has three big claws and the parts aren't small enough to break easily. The wrists are able to rotate in a 360 degree motion as well as tilt up and down or whichever way the wrists are positioned.
The wings are a fresh breath of air after the controversial wing design of King Ghidorah. These wings are fantastic and are able to rotate in a 360 motion, just like a bat's. The base of the wings are connected similarly to Fire Rodan's ball joint system, but feature a long peg with a ball joint at the tip. This allows for an amazing amount of motion as well as a very secure mount for the wings. Halfway through the wing's frame is a point of articulation allowing more movement for the tip-half of the wing. The membrane is sectioned into parts and are attached by tiny ball joints to the wing's frame. This allows the wings to extend and contract, which is useful for a flight pose. It does look messy at first glance, but after adjustments the wings can look fantastically dramatic. I think for future winged creatures they should stick to a system like Rodan's membrane with tiny hinges or King Ghidorah's solid sheet of plastic. For me, this articulation system isn't bad, but it doesn't look aesthetically pleasing up close. In addition, the two smaller wings on the back are able to rotate in a 360 degree motion and slightly tilt in any direction.
Destoroyah never had much movement in the film, as it hardly walked. Surprisingly the legs and feet have an awesome amount of articulation. The legs can almost rotate 360 degrees. Alternately, Destoroyah can bend over and touch its face to the ground. Doing this can replicate Destoroyah's Horn Katana attack. Above the thighs and next to the waist, the legs have a joint that is able spread the legs widely to create a grounded attack stance. The feet can also rotate left to right and slightly tilt up and down. This comes in handy for flight poses.
The tail's articulation doesn't have the best range of motion, but it works well for Destoroyah's design. Part of the issue is that Destoroyah's tail starts really big and thick and gets thinner toward the tip. Where it's thick, the tail is pretty stiff, but as it gets thinner, the range of motion becomes fantastic. The eleven articulation segments go all the way to the tip of the tail where even the pincer is articulated. The pincer can open and shut, although it's delicately held in place by small ball joints, so care is needed.
Overall, even though it has small nuisances, the articulation for this figure is more of a pleasant surprise than a horrified mess and it allows for some really awesome poses.
Destoroyah is the first figure of the line to not include any accessories. The only thing I would have hoped for was a beam effect or maybe even a Horn Katana effect part. Tamashii has gone on record saying that the effects parts for the S.H.MonsterArts line were only meant for the first few waves and that, due to costs and keeping the figures at a reasonable price point for consumers, they've opted to no longer include them except for special cases like Mecha units.
Destoroyah is a magnificent figure. This is the closest representation on the market to its film counterpart. The new ball joint and peg system really works well, securing joints and allowing a greater range of articulation. It was also refreshing not to see a repeat of King Ghidorah's wing design. The paint was phenomenal and the articulation was surprisingly advanced for a monster that hardly moved in the first place. Its price tag may deter some collectors, but in time it should decrease. I would wait until the figure is between $80 and $100. If you don't own a figure of Destoroyah or are looking for a screen accurate version, then this is the figure for you.
Is it a must have? Yes. Do I recommend Destoroyah? Yes.
The paint job is phenomenal. Many different shades of red, black, brown, yellow, orange, and a little purple create the perfect look. The body is mostly red, brown, and black. The blending tends to stay mostly on the darker side. The face has small purplish veins on its snout mixed with blended black and red colors. The teeth and tusks are a yellowish-white color and blended perfectly. The inside of the mouth is a mixture of different shades of red. The eyes are red, although in the film they were yellow. The horn is a blend of yellow, orange, and black.
The chest pattern is comprised mostly of yellow, brown, and orange markings. The back of Destoroyah is predominantly red and black and no other colors. This pattern runs all the way down to the tip of the tail. Essentially, the edges of the figure's hide are red while the inner parts are the darker blended colors. All of the claws and horns are the same color as the yellowish-white teeth. The wings are mostly a lighter red color with blending of black and browns to emulate a better membrane color. The same goes for the smaller wings.
With the exception of the color of the eyes, the overall paint job is executed well and stays true to its screen counterpart.

"Ban will be primarily on plastic carry bags, plastic plates, plastic cups, plastic flags, small plastic sachets used in packaging water, among others," Tamil Nadu CM said.
"However, a few plastic materials used for packing milk, curd, oil and medicine have been exempted from the ban," Tamil Nadu CM said.
Tamil Nadu government today announced ban on plastic products in the state from next year. Chief minister Edappadi Palaniswami announced this in the state legislative assembly on the occasion of the World Environment Day.
"The ban will be primarily on plastic carry bags, plastic plates, plastic cups, plastic flags, small plastic sachets used in packaging water, among others," Palaniswami said.
"However, a few plastic materials used for packing milk, curd, oil and medicine have been exempted from the ban," he said.
Making a suo motu statement in the Assembly, he sought the cooperation of people and traders in implementing this ban in the state. He said the announcement was based on the recommendations of an expert panel constituted by former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa.
The Chief Minister said the disposal of plastic material affects the flow of waste water and drainage and deeply affects the ground water table.
Pollution from plastic products lead to water stagnation, resulting in spread of malaria and dengue. "Hence, to ensure a better pollution-free environment for our next generation, we hereby bans manufacture and use of plastic products from January 1, 2019," Palaniswami announced in the Assembly.

Nickname: Sam. Alternate Spellings of Surname: Sturdevent, Sturdivant.
Jefferson Medical College (Library of Congress, c. 1850).
Born on 20 February, 1831 in Skinner's Eddy, Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, Samuel Burton Sturdevant was a son of John Sturdevant of Skinner's Eddy and Sarah (Fassett) Sturdevant, who was also a native of Wyoming County.
An Allopathic Physician, he graduated from Thomas Jefferson University's Jefferson Medical College in 1856, and began his private practice in Dunmore, Lackawanna County that same year.
Before the dawn of a new decade, he wed Olive Leach, a daughter of Squire Leach of Providence (Scranton). Together, they welcomed Lillian, their first child, to Providence.
When his life was over, he would be recognized by regional newspapers as not only a compassionate physician, but as as successful and civic-minded business leader and government official in his community.
Enlisting in the 139th Pennsylvania Infantry on 11 February 1863, Samuel B. Sturdevant, M.D. was commissioned as an officer and Assistant Surgeon. Sturdevant was promoted to Full Surgeon when mustering out 19 August 1864.
He then re-mustered in that same day at Petersburg, Virginia, but with a different regiment – the 84th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers. He was commissioned as an officer on 19 August 1864 at the rank of Full Surgeon. A few months later, he again mustered out, this time on 13 January 1865.
Mustering in for the third time on 1 March 1865, he was commissioned as an officer with the 47th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers at Stevenson, Virginia at the rank of Surgeon. Duties during his tenure of service included caring for 47th Pennsylvania Volunteers while they were charged with defending the nation's capital following the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln and involved in guarding the assassination's key conspirators during the early days of their imprisonment and trial, and while they were assigned to Provost (military police) and Reconstruction-related duties (repairing railroads and other key elements of the region's infrastructure) in Savannah, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina.
After mustering out with his regiment at Charleston, South Carolina on 25 December 1865, he returned home to Pennsylvania.
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, c. 1889 (public domain).
In 1870, Samuel B. Sturdevant, M.D. and his family continued to reside with his wife's parents in Scranton, Lackawanna County. By 1880, they had moved out on their own, and were residing in Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County.
South Main Street, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania as seen from Public Square, c. 1906 (public domain).
Since his coming to Wilkes-Barre he had never engaged in the practice of his profession but for a number of years was associated with his brother, now deceased, in conducting a china store on South Main street.
S. B. Sturdevant later served several terms as a city assessor before retiring from professional life in the late 1890s. Following a brief illness, he passed away at the Wilkes-Barre home of his son-in-law, H. G. Shupp, on 21 October 1909.
He was interred at Hollenback Cemetery on 23 October 1909. Arrangements were handled by the C. F. Murray Funeral Company of that same city.
Surviving family included his son, Richard Sturdevant (Leadwood, Missouri) and daughter, Mrs. H. G. Shupp (Wilkes-Barre); and a sister, Mrs. S. G. Beach (Philadelphia) and brother, W. H. Sturdevant (Wilkes-Barre).

The feeling is there is a very clear line of demarcation between the two things. With crime, romance, science fiction, we are considered to be writers within a formulaic genre, whereas literary writers are considered to be 'moving freely', as it were. ... There has always been a feeling that literary fiction is improving, that you come away from reading it and you're a better person for it. No one ever said that about reading a crime novel – although maybe you come away feeling happier.

There is only one judgment for the value of a book, and that is what sort of emotional response it elicits in the reader. That's down to the quality of the writing.
It will certainly be interesting to see what happens when Temple's novel is submitted for the Booker this year!
Please don't take this the wrong way, but I don't see what all of the fuss is about. Why should the crime fiction genre be any different then any other when it comes to literary prizes? Any great book should be rewarded.
When I read the title of this post, I thought it would be about another plagiarism scandal!

SAN FRANCISCO, January 31, 2019 – The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), in its ongoing commitment to helping the state achieve its clean energy goals, today took steps to address decarbonization by reducing greenhouse gases associated with energy use in buildings.
The proceeding opened today (called a Rulemaking) will evaluate proposed methodologies related to the development of rules, policies, and procedures that are aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from buildings. Issues related to building decarbonization have surfaced in several different CPUC proceedings, however, current programs do not directly explore how the CPUC could more effectively support decarbonization in buildings.
Establishing a building decarbonization policy framework.
The natural gas and electric utilities that are subject to the findings of the proceeding are Pacific Gas and Electric Company, San Diego Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, Southern California Gas Company, and Southwest Gas Company.
"Modeling tells us that 100 percent renewable electricity alone isn't enough to help us meet our 2030 greenhouse gas reduction goals; we also need to electrify our homes and buildings to reduce the use of fossil fuels in California. Twenty-five percent of total emissions in California are from the use of natural gas in homes and buildings and we must make headway on reducing these emissions to meet the state's overall aggressive climate goals," said CPUC President Michael Picker.
In 2018, former Governor Brown established a new statewide goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2045 or sooner, and maintaining negative emissions thereafter. To achieve statewide greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) created and regularly updates a statewide plan for reducing greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors of the economy.
The CPUC currently oversees a wide range of programs and activities to decarbonize California's electricity and natural gas systems. Current programs are greening California's energy system by improving energy efficiency and demand management, expanding renewable and low-carbon electricity generation, and reducing emissions from natural gas.
The proposal voted on is available at: http://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/PublishedDocs/Published/G000/M255/K629/255629169.PDF.

Q: Angular: Circular dependency (Abstract Service) I want to use an abstract level in my application to avoid direct communications between services (with business logic).
THE CASE
I build a UI module that will generate a list of records and a form for the selected record.
So User will be able to browse the list of records, add a new record and edit an existing record.
The form (new / edit) is going to be called from the list of records.
The concept is given below.

THE PROBLEM
To be able to call the abstract service and business services I need to implement them into each other. So I get a "Circular dependency" error.
THE QUESTION

*

*What is the best practice to organize and call services with the
abstract layer?

Architercure concept

The code sample
abstract.service.ts
@Injectable({
    providedIn: 'root'
})
export class AbstractService
{
    constructor
    (
        private Service1: Service1,
        private Service2: Service2,
        private Service3: Service3
    )

    callService1(): void
    {
        Service1.call();
    }

    callService2(): void
    {
        Service2.call();
    }

    callService3(): void
    {
        Service3.call();
    }
}

Service1.service.ts
@Injectable({
    providedIn: 'root'
})
export class Service1 {
    constructor (
        private AbstractService: AbstractService
    )

    ngOnInit() {
        AbstractService.callService2();
        AbstractService.callService3();
    }
}

A: Don't do that.
A circular dependency is always smelly even if it can be workarounded sometimes, it's better to avoid it.
In your case, the appropriate pattern would probably be to use "events" (observables) stored in the AbstractService and each other service can choose to push events and/or listen to them.
Although it's hard to give a definitive answer because it can be opinionated and you didn't give details about what the real use case is.

Květnice je zřícenina malého hradu ve stejnojmenné obci v okrese Praha-východ. Hrad stál na návrší jižně od Mlýnského rybníka v nadmořské výšce okolo 320 metrů. Zbytky hradu, jehož nejvýraznějším zbytkem je palác, byly opakovaně poškozeny mladší zástavbou. Od roku 1987 je hrad chráněn jako kulturní památka.

Historie
Hrad zřejmě nechal postavit Pešín, příslušník jedné z pražských patricijských rodin, někdy v devadesátých letech 14. století. První písemná zmínka o hradu pochází až z roku 1425, kdy patřil Prokůpku Trčkovi z Kralovic a byl dobyt vojskem pražského svazu. Poté byl brzy obnoven a v průběhu 15. století vystřídal řadu majitelů. V roce 1510 byl připojen ke Škvorci a roku 1532 se uvádí jako pustý.

Od hradu odvozoval svůj původ vladycký šlechtický rod Maternů z Květnice.

Stavební podoba
Květnice patří mezi opevněná sídla na nejasné hranici mezi hradem a tvrzí. Severovýchodní stranu hradu chránily dva částečně dochované příkopy a val, zatímco severozápadní strana je pozměněna navršením terasy. Kromě fragmentů obvodové hradby se dochoval zejména trojprostorový palác, jehož střední místnost v přízemí byla zaklenutá valenou klenbou. Východní místnost byla částečně zbořena majitelem pozemku v roce 1996.

Přístup
Zbytky hradu se nacházejí na pozemcích rodinných domů.

"the future of Musical Theatre in Burton is in very safe hands"
Downstage Centre
Based in Burton on Trent, Cabaret Theatre Company have been bringing a mix of innovative theatre and family favourites to the Brewhouse stage since 2012.
Formed by Cabaret Theatre School principal Sally Everson and director Daniel David Webber, the theatre company was originally established to provide the senior students and teachers of the school with the opportunity to perform a full musical production each year.
The Company is now producing it's 9th show with some of the most talented performers in the area. In February 2020 they took on the firm favourite "Annie", and this year they return with the smash hit comedy msical "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change".
Reviews for Cabaret Theatre Company…
"Leading the cast in the title role, Harry Whetton was, as ever, the consummate professional. He continues to blossom as an actor and a singer and I see great things for him in the future. He was joined by a first-class cast of talented young actors including the incredible Lilly Price as the Narrator whose voice is simply sublime.
My absolutely favourite was Those Canaan Days which featured a solo by the gifted Jake Chatburn as Napthali, backed by Joseph's brothers.
The Show was an absolute triumph and I can't wait to see what lies in store for the company in 2019"
Derby Telegraph Read full review
"Barnum is a clever musical with flicks and tricks and it takes a strong cast to make it work. Cabaret Theatre Company did just that at Burton's Brewhouse Arts Theatre.
Leads Harry Whetton and Autumn Beddoe were outstanding, captivating the audience from the moment they entered the stage. For a pair so young, they led an altogether strong cast with confidence and assurance.
For me, Cabaret Theatre Company's Barnum had it all. Great song and dance routines, circus skills and an first-class cast where every single person on the stage shone"
Burton Mail Read full review
"The show was fun and entertaining from beginning to end, leaving the audiences on a high and wanting more.
Collectively the main cast all delivered sharp, confident performances and the other cast members complemented them well.
The hard work of all the students and staff at the Cabaret Theatre Company is noticeable in this professional, energetic and enjoyable production"
Love Midlands Theatre Read full review
"Once again the Cabaret Theatre Company has come up with a cracking show for their Burton audience. The cast manage to make the singing and dancing look both slick and easy and the acting is faultless.
I was thoroughly entranced by Spelling Bee and thought it was very much an inventive and entertaining piece of theatre that deserved a much wider audience"
BADAC
"This company delivered a fantastic ensemble performance full of pace, polish and professionalism.
The 20-strong cast were clearly doing what they loved, but I'd nominate them for a host of prizes too for singing, dancing and comic timing in this fun-packed musical.
There were positive messages galore in this uplifting show, and I didn't stop smiling for the whole 70 minutes. I'd say the future of musical theatre in Burton is in very safe hands"
"The cast of 20 youngsters showed great poise and professionalism, not to mention style and pizzazz as they took us through the show.
Every single performer lit up the stage with their presence and there was a wonderful sense of camaraderie projected across the footlights.
A stunning debut by the company on the Brewhouse stage that was thoroughly enjoyable and one that has set a very high benchmark for future shows"

Cyber-secure in hiring US talent
Published by: Ben Rigby at 03/10/2017
The arrival of Edith Ramirez at Hogan Lovells brings cybersecurity skills to that firm's practice,...
The arrival of Edith Ramirez at Hogan Lovells brings cybersecurity skills to that firm's practice, alongside antitrust experience. Recent events, such as the Deloitte and Equifax data breaches, suggest such hires are sound investments.
As CDR has reported previously, cybersecurity remains a top priority for law firms in the United States, and beyond, surveying the disputes horizon. The arrival at Hogan Lovells of Edith Ramirez, the former chairwoman of the US Federal Trade Commission, is the latest senior arrival to possess such skills – alongside her extensive antitrust experience.
Marcy Wilder, head of Hogan Lovells' privacy and cybersecurity practice explains why: "Edith guided the FTC through a period of significant activity in the areas of cybersecurity and consumer privacy," said Wilder.
In a statement, Wilder said Ramirez was "uniquely qualified to provide leadership on data protection and cybersecurity matters"; at the FTC, Ramirez conferred regularly with corporate leaders and key policy-makers and joined discussions with antitrust enforcers and privacy and data protection regulators from all over the world.
Ramirez also participated in negotiations to create a new data transfer regime – the so-called Privacy Shield – and mechanisms for trans-Atlantic data sharing between the US and the European Union.
Her law firm was instructed by Deloitte in April following a data breach in the US, in which the details of its clients were allegedly compromised, with the firm placed on "special assignment" to review what Deloitte called "a possible cybersecurity incident".
CYBER-CONSCIOUSNESS
Deloitte's actions come as a June 2017 survey of in-house lawyers by the Association of Corporate Counsel found that, in the light of increased attention on cybersecurity prevention and response, one in three respondents noted in-house law departments were boosting mandatory employee training, and one-quarter were focusing resources on data security audits.
Sixteen percent of survey respondents assigned a law department member to corporate data crisis response team; and those lawyers will inevitably call on their colleagues in private practice to assist.
Data such as this shows why so many firms are recruiting partner talent to shore up support in this area. Recent US hires covered by CDR in the last few months includes the arrival of Tony Scott, formerly a US government chief information officer, at Squire Patton Boggs (SPB); and that of former White House senior director for cybersecurity policy at the National Security Council Samir Jain, who joined Jones Day in June.
Robin Campbell, SPB's head of cybersecurity, himself joined the firm in February from Crowell & Moring, where he has also been co-chair of the same practice, linking up with June arrival of Tara McGraw Swaminatha, who joined from DLA Piper, while Latham & Watkins hired a data protection and privacy litigator in California, home of many US tech companies.
BERMAN BEGINS IN BOSTON
That spate of appointments continues with the arrival of Seth Berman at US boutique litigation firm, Nutter, based in Boston, where he will also head up the firm's privacy and data security practice group.
With more than 20 years of experience, Berman's arrival, said the firm, made him an "invaluable resource to clients who must address cybersecurity and data breach issues head on", said Deborah Manus, managing partner of Nutter.
Having worked as a former federal prosecutor, as well as advising on responses to possible data breaches, he joins from risk management firm Stroz Friedberg, where he oversaw the Boston, New York and Washington, DC, offices.
His experience includes oversight of digital forensics investigations involving data breach, hacking and cybercrime response, alongside a wide range of white-collar criminal matters. Earlier in his time at Stroz Friedberg, Berman was based in London where he assisted clients on international data privacy issues, earlier serving as an assistant US attorney in Massachusetts, as a lead federal computer crimes prosecutor, and previously working on white-collar crime at state level in New York.
EQUIFAX EMBARRASMENT
Nutter's investment in such talent was soon justified by events, with US consumer credit information giant Equifax announcing earlier last month that it had suffered a cybersecurity breach that had potentially impacted over 140 million US consumers, caused, experts say, by the Apache Struts vulnerability.
In a statement, Equifax explained that customer data including names, social security numbers, birth dates, addresses, driver's licence numbers, and credit cards had been hacked; leading one IT expert to say it had "has permitted what is perhaps the worst breach of consumer information in our nation's history".
According to Barbara Rembiesa, CEO of the International Association of IT Asset Managers, the breach showed that corporate America "still does not have proper information technology asset management techniques".
Rembiesa said, following a similar breach in 2013, that "it is two strikes and you're out for Equifax", which handles some of the most sensitive consumer information in the US.
Other industry sources said the breach suggested organisations were struggling to quickly identify and effectively remediate vulnerabilities in their systems. Those failings have quickly led to litigation; a theme explored at our most recent Litigation Symposium.
One US claimant lawyer, Georgia-based Jason Doss of The Doss Firm immediately launched a class-action lawsuit against Equifax for data breach harm to 28 million US small businesses, with others expected.
Doss said, in a statement: "This is a real double whammy situation for small business owners whose access to credit can often live or die in terms of their personal creditworthiness. The breach could either damage the business directly through identify theft or it could cripple access to small business credit by damaging the 'linked' credit of the individual who owns the enterprise."
CLASS ACTION CONUMDRUM
Berman added his own analysis, saying: "Potential actions against Equifax include government investigations, class actions lawsuits, shareholder derivative suits, and actions by credit card issuers or banks.
He agreed with Rembiesa: "One of the issues that will complicate these lawsuits for Equifax is that this is not the first time they have been the victim of a hacking – [it] had a similar, if smaller incident about a year ago."
He added: "Moreover, this breach also appears to be worse than previous mass breaches not only in its vast scale, but also in the richness of the data that is said to have been stolen, including details used to confirm a person's identity."
However, the size of the breach, he said, would "make it difficult to prove or disprove whether the breach itself caused harm and to whom. After all, with 143 million records breached, many of the consumers affected in this incident will have already been the victim of identity theft from other incidents, making it very difficult to determine who specifically was harmed by this breach".
He noted: "Ironically, one of the only ways consumers can try to protect themselves against cybercrimes is to sign up for credit monitoring from companies like Equifax. Presumably this latest breach will make some suspicious of doing so."

Q: Recommended way to disable atd (and other unnecessary startup processes) in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS? I just spun up a new Ubuntu 14.04 server and have been having a bit of trouble getting the atd daemon to stop auto-launching. There's been a bit of changing around on the management of startup processes, and I've viewed dozens of web pages on upstart, sysv-rc-conf, and other start management systems (not to mention chk-config, which isn't available anymore on Ubuntu anyway)…
I tried using sysv-rc-conf, but with the configuration as follows, I still have atd running on reboot:
# sysv-rc-conf --list atd
atd          0:off  1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off

Even though it's not upstart-compatible, I put "manual" into /etc/init/atd.override
I've also tried a couple of variant invocations of update-rc.d, but despite the promising output, atd still launches on reboot:
# update-rc.d atd disable 0123456
update-rc.d: warning:  start runlevel arguments (none) do not match atd Default-Start values (2 3 4 5)
update-rc.d: warning:  stop runlevel arguments (none) do not match atd Default-Stop values (0 1 6)
 Disabling system startup links for /etc/init.d/atd ...
 Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/atd ...
   /etc/rc0.d/K80atd
   /etc/rc1.d/K80atd
   /etc/rc2.d/K80atd
   /etc/rc3.d/K80atd
   /etc/rc4.d/K80atd
   /etc/rc5.d/K80atd
   /etc/rc6.d/K80atd
 Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/atd ...
   /etc/rc0.d/K80atd -> ../init.d/atd
   /etc/rc1.d/K80atd -> ../init.d/atd
   /etc/rc6.d/K80atd -> ../init.d/atd
   /etc/rc2.d/K80atd -> ../init.d/atd
   /etc/rc3.d/K80atd -> ../init.d/atd
   /etc/rc4.d/K80atd -> ../init.d/atd
   /etc/rc5.d/K80atd -> ../init.d/atd

I'd prefer not to just brute-force it and whack the scripts, but after all this, that's what I'm tempted to do. Are there any recommended (or just practical and maintainable) ways to deal with startup issues like this in Ubuntu 14.04?

A: Looks like everything works like upstart is supposed to (I had put my files in the wrong directory!):
I just did the following:
echo "manual" > /etc/init/atd.override

and voila -- the atd process no longer starts up on reboot!

Q: ignore case with regular expression I have created a CLR in a SQL server 2005 database. It is a simple regular expression user defined function that will check if a pattern exists in the string I pass into the function.
The dot net code I use in the CLR is shown below:
Return System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.IsMatch("Input", "pattern")

This returns a bit value of 1 if a match is found.
The pattern I am using is
 +(Create|Alter) +(Proc|Procedure) +

What I want this to do is find any cases of "create or alter" "procedure or proc" regardless of the case. How can I get the expression to ignore case?
I have tried
/ +(Create|Alter) +(Proc|Procedure) +/i

but this doesn't work.
EDIT: I have looked around on the internet and used various suggestions. None of which have worked or I have done them wrong. If someone could give me a pattern that will ignore the case that would be much appreciated!
Answer:
What i was trying to achieve was a regular expression that ignores case. Dot Net does have parameters that can be passed in to set ignore case however it being in a CLR means i do not have the ability to pass the parameters in to the function.
The pattern that achieves this is : (?i) +(Create|Alter) +(Proc|Procedure) +

A: You can use the inline "case-insensitive" modifier (?i):

(?i) +(Create|Alter) +(Proc|Procedure) +

A: try this.
Return System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.IsMatch("input", @".*(Create|Alter).+(Proc|Procedure).+", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

I would recommend installing free software Expresso to test your regular expressions and generate .Net / c# code for search, replace, etc

A: Try using:
Regex regex = new Regex(
    regexStringHere,
    RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

return regex.IsMatch(inputStringHere);

Hope this helps.

Q: Why do Witcher books use modern scientific terms? In this answer on Movies SE, there is a quote :

I underwent the usual mutation there, through the Trial of Grasses, and then hormones, herbs, viral infections. And then through them all again. And again, to the bitter end. Apparently, I took the changes unusually well; I was only ill briefly. I was considered to be an exceptionally resilient brat…and was chosen for more complicated experiments as a result. They were worse. Much worse. But, as you see, I survived. The only one to live out of all those chosen for further trials. My hair's been white ever since. Total loss of pigmentation. A side effect, as they say. A trifle.

*

*The Last Wish (The Voice of Reason 4)

I don't know Witcher universe much, and never read any books (only briefly played some games), though in my understanding they are in high fantasy genre, so roughly medieval. And the highlighted words sound surprisingly modern. Especially "hormones" and "viral" suggest their medical science is close to modern level of development. It suggests they know about endocrine system, and can distinguish viruses and other pathogens.
Are similarly modern words used in Polish original, or is it a mistranslation? And are these terms used consistently throughout the books, or only in this particular book?
More generally, how close to modern level are biological and medical sciences in the Witcher universe?

A: Biological and medical sciences in the Witcher universe are way past modern level, but this knowledge is mostly kept secret from common people. Mages try to monopolize science and mostly succeed.
There are many examples of this:

*

*Ages ago, Ortolan made a potion that virtually stops ageing, but his fellow mages strictly limit the access to the potion to themselves, lying him about it. His other inventions, like magical cannon, were also suppressed.

*Witchers are an "invention" of mages Alzur and Malaspina, who tried to "improve" humans. Knowledge of mutating humans into witchers was also a secret, and was later forgotten.
Elves also act like this with Aen Saevherne, keeping secrets of genetic engineering enabling control over spacetime itself.
The world of Witcher may seem like medieval times, but this is somewhat misleading - its nature is more of postapocalypical, with Conjunction of Spheres as a way for humans to escape their original world's end.
As far as wording is concerned, Sapkowski doesn't shy away from using modern concepts at all. Forget "mutant", source of Ciri's power is "Lara's gene", and it's history is described using stuff like "pseudogene", being activator of gene.

A: Actually the Witcher universe is science fiction. Humans came into the world of elves and dwarves and magic by the conjunction of spheres. There is an interesting part in "The Tower of Swallow". There the elven mage Avallac'h is forging prehistoric cave paintings as fun to mislead future historians. Because there were no prehistoric humans on the continent. In the following talk with Geralt he makes it clear he knows humans evolved from apes but not on this world. Furthermore, he states the human race is around 5 million years old. Homo Sapiens is only 300,000 years old, and the genus Homo is approximately 1.5-2.5 million years old.
By that you can say humans from the future came into a parallel world and developed from nothing to a stable medieval society. New in this world was magic which solved many technological problems but was kept in secret to easier control the common folk in a feudal society. But knowledge about genetics, technology and even astronomy is all known by sorcerers but usually kept as secret.
How the conjunction of spheres worked is speculative. But it brought the modern human on the continent with its already established own language and culture. Going back to their medieval roots the humans started new. It's interesting the elves landed on the continent in a similar way but a long time before the humans.

Jews in Austria had enjoyed relative prosperity and freedom since the mid-1800's under the Habsburg monarchy. There was an especially dense pocket of Jews living in Vienna, and they contributed greatly to its rise in prestige. Many Jews in this time intermarried and they were also free to convert. In fact, at the time, it was considered distasteful to be anti-Semitic and, though certain limiting laws existed, Jews were generally very prosperous during this time.
On Wednesday March 9, 1938, Schuschnigg announced a plebiscite in order to determine the future of Austria and whether or not it should be part of Germany. Within days the Nazis had whipped up a frenzy amongst the Austrian civilians and the plebiscite was called off. Hitler had given Schuschnigg an ultimatum that stipulated that Austria not hold the plebiscite or else Germany would march over the border and occupy it. Schuschnigg was ordered to appoint a Nazi head of state, Dr. Arthur Seyss-Inquart, and he stepped down. Soon after that on March 12, 1938, Nazi troops were welcomed into Austria with flowers and cheers. Hitler paraded across the nation from his hometown all the way through Linz, a major Austrian city. The enthusiastic pro-Nazi sympathies of the people surprised everyone, including the incredulous Nazis.
The coming weeks proved to be extremely hard for the Jews of Austria, most of whom lived in Vienna. Stories of men being made to scrub the streets; clean the latrines of Nazis; and property stolen were just preludes to the mass arrests and deportations to Dachau that would follow in November during Kristallnacht. Many Jews killed themselves, many more emigrated after losing everything by way of extortion through unfair taxes. France and Britain accepted the Anschluss and Austria was incorporated into Greater Germany. The Jews of Vienna and greater Austria would be defined, isolated, and exploited until they are either trapped and destitute or they have emigrated. In Austria up to two thirds of the population of Jews was able to emigrate before the beginning of the war, Adolf Eichmann helped facilitate this through his sinister Office for Jewish Emigration.
By the time the war started on September 1, 1939, there were only about 65,000 Jews left in Austria (the population was concentrated almost entirely in Vienna.) Of these Jews over half of them were women and only 19% were under the age of 40 – all younger people; middle-aged men; and wealthy Jews had generally had the opportunity to emigrate during the previous year. All that was left were the weak who were unable to find a place in a foreign country. In the waning days of Austrian Jewry the community was left in shambles: homeless, jobless, and most of them on welfare. They were all concentrated into certain districts with dilapidated housing where they would await their deportation.
In the winter of 1941, the Nazis expelled about 4,500 Austrian Jews to their near-certain deaths in occupied Poland. Jews were deported to cities all over the occupied USSR (Riga; Lodz, Minsk etc.) all through the winter of 1941-1942. Most were shot upon arrival and few ever returned home. There were, however, a group of Jews who were deported to Terezin (German: Theresienstadt,) but even they did not have a very high rate of survival. In the end, by November 1942, there were fewer than 7,000 – out of an initial population of over 200,000 – Jews left in Vienna. Most of them were in mixed marriages and there were a small amount in hiding.
