The twin act of balancing trade and data governance across borders
Dharmi Jilka and Karen Aloysia Barreto
At the recently held Sydney Dialogue 2021 on 'Emerging and Critical Cyber Technologies', India highlighted the need to develop international co-operation on standards and norms surrounding data governance and cross-border data flow. This remark comes on the heels of the unanimous adoption of the draft report of the Joint Committee on the Protection of the Personal Data Bill, 2019 by the Lok Sabha. The draft report has further proposed provisions on data localization norms to be followed by both, local and foreign entities. India is no stranger to data localization measures. In 2018, the Reserve Bank of India issued a Circular on the 'Storage of Payment System Data', essentially mandating payment system operators to store all the data relating to payment systems only in India. Such data localization norms not only restrict the free flow of data across borders but also warrant the storing and processing of data within the territorial limits of the country.
THE ECONOMIC COSTS AND TRADE IMPLICATIONS OF DATA LOCALIZATION
The cost of stringent implementation of data localization norms comes at a high price as it drastically affects the economy of the country reducing volume of trade and negatively impacting industries that rely heavily on data. As per the Information Technology and Innovation Report 2021, statistics reveal that restrictive cross border data flow decreases gross trade output by 7 %, reduces productivity by 2.9 % and inflates downstream prices by 1.5 % over a period of five years. Moreover, forced data localization norms push domestic companies to pay 30 to 60% more for their computing needs as demonstrated in a study conducted by the Leviathan Security Group. However, countries adopting such norms rationalize their necessity for safeguarding data privacy and cybersecurity. With the internet gaining prominence as a key enabler in facilitating international trade in the global digital economy, norms that barricade cross-border flow of data (such as data localization) also hinder trade and therefore qualify as trade barriers, warranting scrutiny under international trade law.
LEGALITY OF DATA LOCALIZATION UNDER GATS
The extant rules and jurisprudence on international trade law does not explicitly address data localization norms. However, the core principles of the General Agreement on Trade in Services ("GATS") under the World Trade Organization ("WTO") framework provides a pertinent case in point to treat data localization norms as a barrier to trade. Under Article I (2) of the GATS, trade in services includes "supply of a service from the territory of one Member into the territory of any other Member". Since there is an absence of any requirement related to transfer of physical commodities, the foregoing definition of supply of service encapsulates trade in digital services. Inherently, cross-border supply of digital services involves the cross-border flow of data.
(i) Market Access Commitments and National Treatment under GATS
The normative legal principle provided under Article VI of GATS delineates the requirement for Members to administer trade in services in a reasonable, objective and impartial manner. Further, Article XVI (Market Access Commitments) and Article XVII (National Treatment) of GATS mandates Members "to not impose limitations on the number of service suppliers, total number of service operations or the total quantity of service output" and must ensure that "each Member shall accord to services and service suppliers of any other Member, treatment no less favorable than that it accords to its own like services and service suppliers." In the context of market access commitments, Mitchell and Hepburn argue that the US Gambling case, which held "prohibition on the remote supply of gambling and betting services online is effectively a zero quota in breach of GATS arts XVI:2(a) and (c)", could apply to data transfers. By virtue of this, prohibition on the transfer of any categories of data, as long as they correspond to the sectors in which the Member has given market access commitments shall be in violation of GATS. Similarly for national treatment under GATS, the introduction of data localization norms shall lead to the advancement and competitive presence of domestic service suppliers. Inevitably, this shall cost foreign service suppliers to pay a higher price for local infrastructure expenses, according to them less favorable treatment over domestic suppliers. Data localization norms when implemented against the foregoing core principles of GATS indicates the likelihood presence of the violation of free and fair cross- border supply of trade.
(ii) General and Security Exceptions under GATS
The legality of cross-border data restrictions under the GATS framework can possibly be construed to be valid if viewed through the lens of the general and security exceptions. Article XIV (General Exceptions) permits the Member to derogate from its obligations under certain circumstances such as public order, privacy of an individual, safety and prevention of fraudulent or deceptive trade practices. Neha Mishra opines that an evolved interpretation of these exceptions would encompass within their ambit different facets of digital privacy and cybersecurity. For instance, if informed consent of the data principal is to be compulsorily obtained then such a measure could be justified in furtherance of protecting individual privacy and shall therefore extend to domestic legislations pertaining to privacy in the virtual context.
The WTO jurisprudence stipulates a 'weighing and balancing test' to justify a Member's deviation from its obligations. The test entails assessment of three factors – (1) significance of the measure in achieving the stated aim (public order or public policy); (2) the restrictive impact of the measure in the context of international trade and commerce and (3) identification of the least restrictive trade measure. Thus, a data localization measure would have to fulfill the test to avail the benefit of the exception. However, inconsistent applicability of data transfer restrictions by a Member under the ambit of Article XIV of GATS shall be treated as unjustifiable.
Another exception that could be availed of is Article XIV bis (Security Exception), the applicability of which provides that nothing under GATS shall be construed "to prevent any Member from taking any action which it considers necessary for the protection of its essential security interests" or "to prevent any Member from taking any action in pursuance of its obligations under the United Nations Charter for the maintenance of international peace and security." Essential security interests under the exception are couched in broad language which allows room for wide interpretation. The exception is further underpinned by usage of the wording 'action which it considers necessary', however, its implementation shall only be limited to the grounds specified under Article XIV bis (1)(b). The circumstances under Article XIV bis (1)(b) of GATS, primarily 'war or other emergency in international relations' is nonetheless likely to be stretched for the purpose of advocating data localization norms. Members invoking general and security exceptions under GATS must abide by the principle of pacta sund servanda articulated under Article 26 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties as the principle is integral towards the interpretation of WTO Agreements.
The Way Forward: Establishing Congruity between International Trade Law and Data Governance
The digital economy is directly related to data protection due to the trade of goods and services, besides the ubiquitous nature of cross border data flow necessitates eliminating the conflict of territorial laws of data protection. In our opinion, regulating data and the internet entails the adoption of a 'polycentric' approach. Segura Serrano argues that data regulation requires a mixed approach of prescriptive laws and self-regulatory codes, given the role played by the private sector. Against this backdrop, the WTO should embrace guidance from multi-lateral institutions while formulating a framework for data regulation. For instance, under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ("GATT"), the structure pertaining to currency exchange and valuation was formulated in consultation with the International Monetary Fund. Additionally, as suggested by Mira Burri, the WTO law should incorporate 'horizontal obligations' for fostering free flow of data across borders for conducting business activities and forbid strict data localisation. As correctly pointed out by Neha Mishra, data flow restrictions create a non-tariff trade barrier resulting in restrictive trade flow across borders.
The role of the WTO to respond and formulate a comprehensive trade policy in a data-driven economy poses acute importance in light of the on-going negotiations based on the 'Joint Initiative on E-commerce.' Members of the foregoing initiative have emphasised the need to acknowledge cross-border flow of data as a critical element to eliminate digital divide. Furthermore, in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, harbouring digital inclusion is a proven 'urgent necessity' to encourage participation of smaller players in the global digital economy. The imperative twin critical objective of balancing trade with data governance is crucial to foster the growth of digital economies in the era of globalisation. While countries push for data localisation in a bid to govern data, little is known if such policy measures are actually effective in ensuring privacy and cybersecurity.
EXPERIENCING NOKHA HOUSE BY FIRANGI DELI WITH SUJIT RATHORE
NORTH-EASTERN REGION TO EMERGE AS A HUB OF RUBBER PRODUCTION: PIYUSH GOYAL
INDIA TO ADD 50 FRESH UNICORNS IN 2022: STUDY
REHTHIK RAZDAN
In India more than 50 startups have the potential of entering the unicorn club in 2022 as showcased in a new study. This will take the total tally of India to well over 100 startup unicorns(those well valued over $1 billion each). The year 2022 has shaped up nicely to become a matrix and a petri-dish of startups and with each success the chances of others joining them becomes well over-precedent. The growth of startups can be attributed to various national economic policies and the ease of doing business norms. The shopping capabilities and buying parameters of the people also has to do a lot with this, the report by a consultancy firm suggested.
Amit Nawka, partner(deals and startup leader) in PwC India, which conducted the study said that, " We can say that the base of these companies in growth stage and late-stage deals have improved have improved significantly in the calendar year 2021, depicting a stronger base of companies having the potential to reach the unicorn status. With market sentiments favourably inclined towards startups, and the large base of scaled startup companies at the end of CY21, we expect the startup' unicorn tally to go well beyond 100 by the end of 2022." Over $10 billion was invested in the Indian startup ecosystem in the October-December quarter alone, according to the report.
81 is the total number of startups in India as of now with a total valuation of 4274 billion. Of these 44 unicorns with a total valuation of $89 billion were born last year, shows data from Invest India, the national investment promotion agency. The PwC report shows that in the fourth quarter, startup funding crossed the $10 billion mark.
If we talk about categorisation, Fintech startups raised nearly four times more funds last year as compared to the previous year. Edtech followed closely with a growth of 86% compared to $2.2 billion raised in 2020. Software as a service came in a close third. Growth and late-stage deals comprised around 85% of the total funding. Among the most persistent and active investors were Sequoia Capital, Accel and Tiger Global. A December 2021 report by the Hurun Research Institute had mentioned that India is the third largest home for unicorns globally but trails the US and China by a wide margin.
Bengaluru and the Nation Capital Region witnessed nearly three-fourth of the total funding by venture capital and private equity funds, the report said. In its list of 50 potential unicorns it placed companies like Khatabook, Whatfix, Practo, Ninjacart, Inshorts, Pepperfry as among the candidates because of their history of having raised over USD 100 million to date.
Effect of high rated fuel on country's economy
Divya Joyce
High fuel taxes combined with a recovery in international crude oil rates has affected millions of people, slowing down the recovery of the country. The price of petrol and diesel hits a new record everyday. In Mumbai, petrol can be bought at Rs 109.98 per litre and diesel costs Rs 94.14 for one litre as on 18th January.
Experts have warned that rising fuel rates could severely derail India's economy, which is already under pressure due to the impact of the second Covid-19 wave. High petrol and diesel prices have not only impacted vehicle owners, but also people who do not own a car. Rising fuel prices have resulted in a sharp rise in retail inflation, making a host of essential commodities and services costlier for citizens.
Elevated tax levels are playing a major role in the current record high prices in India. The central government had last year increased levies on petrol by Rs 14 per litre and on diesel by Rs 16 per litre to shore up revenues as the pandemic forced a sharp slowdown in the economic activity. Central and state taxes currently account for about 53.5 per cent of the pump price of petrol and about 47.6 per cent of the pump price of diesel in Mumbai
The rising crude oil prices, and the higher taxation impact, have also contributed to the prices of petrol and diesel regularly setting new record highs across the country in 2021. Petrol in nation's capital is priced at Rs 95.41 per litre while diesel in the national capital is retailing at Rs 86.67 per litre. India has seen a faster recovery in the consumption of petrol than of diesel after pandemic-related restrictions with petrol consumption up 9 per cent in September compared to the year ago period but diesel consumption remaining 6.5 per cent below 2020 levels. Diesel accounts for about 38 per cent of petroleum product consumption in India and is a key fuel used in industry and agriculture.
India has long pushed for Middle eastern countries to remove the Asian premium that Asian countries have to pay for crude oil as key oil producers set higher prices for India than for the US and European countries. Despite a 40 cent per barrel cut in the official selling price of light crude to Asia, Saudi Arabia is still charging a $1.30 premium on the benchmark price for light crude sold to India compared to a $2.4 discount on the benchmark price for European customers.
Experts have noted that countries like India do not have much bargaining power in the current market scenario where supply is lower than demand and that India's bargaining power may be reduced further if we try to further diversify crude oil procurement. Also, the level of output and pricing benchmarks are decided by cartels such as OPEC.
So, Experts believe that the government should cut excise duty to some extent as it will provide some relief to customers and lead to higher sales and revenues which will accelerate the economy. But economic recovery will become tricky if the government continues to ignore rising fuel prices. If the commodity becomes too expensive, it would see a sharp decline in revenue.
India-born top the list of founders among US unicorns: Study
It is not only in India but in the US too that Indian founders are creating unicorns.
A study by Professor of Finance at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, Ilya A. Strebulaev researched that 90 out of 1,078 founders and entrepreneurs across 500 US unicorns were born in India which signalled a significant presence of Indian-Americans in the country's startup and tech economy. He tweeted that, "Over four out of ten unicorn founders are first gen immigrants". Indian born founders were followed by the ones from Israel and Canada with 52 and 42 founders respectively.
Some of the Indian origin founders of prominent unicorns include: Rohan Seth of Clubhouse, Baiju Bhatt of Robinhood, Dheeraj Pandey, Mohit Aron, Ajeet Singh of Nutanix, Apoorv Mehta of Instacart, Aayush Phumbhra of Chegg, among many others.
The research undertaken by Strebulaev is ripe at the time when India based technology want to return back home. Indian immigrants in the US are increasingly leaving their American dream behind because of visa issues and also because of the allure of a thriving startup culture in the home country. America has had a history of extremely successful Indian-origin entrepreneurs including Kanwal Rekhi, Pramod Haque, Sanjay Malhotra among others. India born executives are not only fueling the startups of the US but they are the executives of the most powerful tech giants.
U.S based Kaufman Foundation 33.2% of the co-founders of technology and engineering founded by immigrants in the US were Indians. Kaufman Foundation found out that Indian immigrant contribution in tech and startup industry was the only one that increased, all other immigrant contributions saw a decline. Another finding showed that 33 of the top 50 AI companies have at least one first generation immigrant founder. And 53 of the 125 founders are first generation immigrants. India and Israel were the largest senders of immigrant AI founders followed by the UK, China and Portugal.
India has a vibrant and an ever growing startup ecosystem. A recent report by venture capital fund Orios Venture Partners said Indian startups raised $42 Billion in 2021 up from $11.5 Billion in the previous year. The newly minted unicorns include ShareChat, Cred, Meesho, Moglix, MPL, Grofers(now blinkit), upGrad, Mamaearth, Acko, Spinny and others. India with 90 unicorns is the third largest unicorn hub behind the US(487) and China(301) and ahead of the UK(39). According to the report Flipkart was the most valuable unicorn($37.6 Billion).
India has seen four decacorns(companies with a valuation of USD 10 billion and above) so far- Flipkart, Paytm, BYJU's and Oyo Rooms. While Bengaluru was the 'Unicorn Hub' with 18 unicorns emerging from the city in 2021 and 35 in all. It also happens to be the seventh largest unicorn city in the world.
KARNATAKA'S ROLE IN BUILDING A $5 TRILLION ECONOMY WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER, CHIEF MINISTER BOMMAI
Hardika Sharma
Karnataka is expected to play a significant part in the economy of the country in the future. The state is home to 13,000 of the country's 54,000 startups. The Karnataka government has taken a number of steps to stimulate the formation of new businesses. The government is providing guidance and scientific support, according to Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai.
In an online message on the occasion of 'National Startup Day' on Sunday, the Chief Minister stated that the notion of a New Karnataka for a New India would be realized. In accordance with the Prime Minister's wishes, the state has commemorated Startup Day in a meaningful way. The state government will give a major boost to startups, innovation, scientific thinking, and entrepreneurship in the coming days, he added. "Thanks to the Prime Minister's long-term goal, the number of startups, which was once about 500, has already surpassed 54,000." He has given a tremendous boost to innovation and entrepreneurs by establishing a forum to assist them and free them from government limitations. "On behalf of the state's youth, the Prime Minister has been the inspiration for the biggest development of startups in the state," Bommai added, thanking the Prime Minister.
Bengaluru is home to around 180 science and research institutions in a variety of sectors.
'WEALTH OF 10 RICHEST INDIANS ENOUGH TO FUND HIGHER EDUCATION OF CHILDREN'
Ankit Pattnaik
According to a new study, it has been found that the wealth of the 10 richest Indians is enough to fund school and higher education of children for over two decades (approx. 25 years). When most of the country was gripped by the Covid-19 pandemic, the combined fortunes of the Indian billionaires more than doubled during this period. The superrich count in the country has now shot up to 142, rising by 39 per cent.
The annual wealth inequality survey reported presented by Oxfam India at the Davos Agenda Summit of the World Economic Forum (WEF) said that an additional one per cent tax on the richest 10 per cent can provide nearly 17.7 lakh extra oxygen cylinders to the country. None of us can forget how there was a huge rush for oxygen cylinders and insurance claims during the second wave that struck last year.
On the other hand, a similar wealth tax on the 98 most-affluent families can finance Ayushman Bharat – world's largest health insurance scheme, for more than seven years.
The report further finds that 142 Indian billionaires together own a wealth of $719 billion (over Rs 53 lakh crore). The richest 98 amongst them have the same wealth ($657 billion or nearly Rs 49 lakh crore) as the poorest 55.5 crore populace who are placed in the bottom 40 per cent.
It was found that if all of the top 10 richest Indians go on to spend $1 million every day, then it will take them 84 years to do away with their current wealth.
Exports target of US$650 bn within the current financial year achievable: Piyush Goyal
'$400 Bn target of Merchandise exports is within sight and the Services sector should strive for $250 Bn exports.'
Tarun Nangia
The Minister of Commerce and Industry, Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution and Textiles, Piyush Goyaltoday said the exports target of USD 650 Billion within the current financial year is achievable. Chairing a Review Meeting of all major Export Promotion Councils (EPCs), Goyal said the $400 Bn target of Merchandise exports is within sight and the Services sector should strive for $250 Bnexports.
Expressing his satisfaction that India achieved $300 BnMerchandise exports in the first nine months of the current FY (April-Dec, 2022), Goyal assured the EPCs that his Ministry will do whatever it takes in handholding the EPCs and resolving their issues to attain even higher export targets in the next FY.
Shri Goyal said we can set a much higher goods exports target in the current last quarter of this FY. "In December alone we touched $37 Bn goods exports despite the Omicron fear factor weighing high. This month, in 15 days till January 15th, we have reached $16 Bn."
oyal said the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has himself set the pace by setting "transformational results" and not "incremental growth".
The Commerce & Industry Minister urged the EPCs and entrepreneurs to avail of the Government's initiatives towards Ease of Doing Business such as obtaining clearances through the National Single Window System. He assured the Industry representatives to pursue their demands during the various FTA negotiations.
Speaking of the government's efforts to improve the ease of living and the ease of doing business, Goyal said that more than 25,000 compliances have been reduced.

Convenience stores reveal new lines of prepared food
By Kuo Chia-erh / Staff reporter
The nation's two leading convenience store operators — Taiwan FamilyMart Co (全家便利商店) and President Chain Store Corp (PCSC, 統一超商) — yesterday unveiled new prepared food lines in a bid to seize growing business opportunities.
At a news conference yesterday, FamilyMart launched new oden items featuring authentic Japanese flavors and high-quality ingredients as part of the firm's efforts to increase winter food sales.
FamilyMart has spent more than NT$30 million (US$966,61) on renovating its oden products, which are expected to bring revenue of NT$1 billion per year, chairman and chief executive Yeh Jung-ting (葉榮廷) said.
The firm's strategy for its oden business focuses on unprocessed ingredients, such as boiled eggs and vegetables, as Taiwanese customers have become more aware of food safety issues in recent years, FamilyMart said.
Besides improving quality, the nation's No. 2 convenience store chain said it is developing a more precise marketing strategy by using big data to analyze customer behavior and promote popular items.
"We hope to lift the revenue contribution of the prepared food business to 30 percent in 2020 from 21 percent," Yeh said.
Meanwhile, PCSC said it hopes to differentiate itself by introducing a new line of steamed foods, including oden, sweet potatoes and pig's blood cake (豬血糕).
The company, which has more than 5,000 outlets nationwide, is to sell the steamed items at 500 stores by the end of this year and 2,000 stores next year, it said in a statement.
PCSC is to allocate more research and development resources to steamed products — such as turnip cake (蘿蔔糕) and steamed dumplings — based on customer preference surveys, the statement said.

Re: What the Next CoD Needs!
What the Next CoD Needs!
Okay let me start off by saying I have been playing Call of Duty since the launch of CoD 3 (thats CoD 3, CoD 4 MW, CoD WaW, CoD MW 2, CoD BO, CoD MW3, CoD BO2, CoD Ghosts). Each game I have played and maxed out stats. I also am the leader of a clan called Envy Australia (started nearly 4 years ago) which at it's prime was number 1 in Australia and 10th in the world for KD/SPM/WL. Please believe me I know what I am talking about and have plenty of experience. On these very forums I also created a massive rumour which got a lot of attention.
Okay so for the first time ever the dislike for Ghosts out weighs my want to play, this means I literally don't play any more. I'm not hear to bash Ghosts because I know a lot of people love it, but also a lot of people don't. We're not here to argue this. This is what I personally believe will make a great game, and will cater for all kinds of people. Going back to BO2 I realise they did A LOT right, also a bit wrong. This is a wish list for the next Call of Duty game made by Treyarch.
- Buff slightly sub machine guns to the way the were perviously to the CURRENT patch.
- Make all bolt sniper rifles like the Ballista, must be high chest or headshot for it to be a 1 shot kill, remove cross hairs from hip fire, remove auto aim, incorporate duel rendering (Ghosts style).
- When you get 30 GUN kills a bomber should fly over with the GamerTag of the player written on the underside of the aeroplane and drop a nuke in the distance, no one dies but everyone knows you got the nuke.
- Incorporate a 5 minute probation for rage quitting IF they were playing in the game from the VERY FIRST SECOND. Also distinguish between pressing the QUIT button from a host disconnecting so players do NOT get punished for a losing host.
- When a host disconnects don't mark all lobby players as a loss to their record.
- Update the Pick 10 System to Pick 100 System, assign valued points for primary, secondaries, perks, grenades, attachments, tacticals, and even point streaks.
- Like public distinguish when a player disconnects/dashboards so they cop a loss and are named and shamed also add probation but not to people who leave a game when they are already down a member.
- Incorporate a forfeit feature, if a player turns his xbox you shouldn't be forced to continue. As long as all players agree.
- LP has been a great addition so the rest is pretty well perfect.
Treyarch I want to say thank you for creating a good game even though it has many problems, listen to these ideas for your next creation and I think they game will be a success. Don't put in explosives because you feel like you need to, Infinity Ward is a perfect example with their IED's, the game is plagued by them and it's gotten way out of hand.
Please feel free to add your own ideas, I'd love to hear what you all have to say. Go easy and keep it constructive.
Please post this in the Black Ops 2 forums.
Infinity Ward does not make Black Op games they make Modern Warfare and Ghosts games Treyarch makes Black Ops so they would be the ones that need to see this.
I'm posting this more to see what people think about the ideas, if they agree/disagree or have anything to add. This isn't just a message for developers, more to gauge the public opinion. Also I did post it in Black Ops 2 forums, you are correct. It is still acceptable for me to post it here.
It's only acceptable in the Off Topic sub forum I was only trying to help.
Actually it isn't. These forums are specifically related to Ghosts and so it's offtopic. It's also duplicate content since you did also post it in the BO2 forums.

(5/5 stars) I'm not sure where I heard of Akata Witch; it was probably one of my podcasts. I was just excited to read a fantasy novel based on a magic system from a non-European mythology. I did not know it was a YA novel, though, and I was very delightfully surprised by what I found.


We've featured Polish interior designer Lucyna Kołodziejska's work a few times in the past (here, here and here), and she emailed recently with yet another fabulous small apartment she designed. This apartment is in Sopot, it is designed for rent, for weekends, for tourist that want to feel some atmosphere of old XIX town Sopot. It is in new building but me and my principal wants to get a climate of old town apartment. It have one bedroom and small bathroom, living room with open kitchen. We have there big photograph of Sopot pier by some Portugal (!) photographer who sold us this photo. In bathroom old morrocan tiles on the floor and photo of Baltic sea made by myself. The flat is 200 metres near the sea side.
I love it! i like the colors.
I love the pops of turquoise against the grey……very clever.
I love this apartment … the colors … the wall photos …. everything!
Thanks for sharing it … I have already reblog it to my blog!
I love the grey, too. And the expansiveness with photography and mirrors. The bathroom inspires me to do something like this!
Please tell me where that amazing white light shade is from? Thank you!
Beautiful!! Congrats!! Nice photos, i've also some photos from Sopot in my apartment! Do u remember the seller or do u sell it?
I'm Yon Garin, the photographer of the Sopot photograph. Photography has been great in the living room. Also seems that photography liked people. I'm very happy about that!
If you ever need any other photograph more, you know where to find me.

The 10 Best Countries For Traveling Alone
There are many travelers who claim that traveling alone is the best way to see the world. You deliberately travel solo, they say, because you want to experience the world without the influence of a friend or partner's tastes, prejudices, or preferences. When you're with a companion, it's easy to focus on that person and forget about meeting other travelers. Traveling alone, you're more likely to be on a voyage of self-discovery.
Jon Hicks/Corbis
Solo travel can be delightfully self-indulgent. You can spend a day doing nothing but café hopping or lingering in a single museum. You can loll on a beach on the South China Sea or hire a guide to visit remote ruins. Indulge your classical music passion in one of Europe's great concert halls or join a group of like-minded strangers for a Himalayan trek.
It's your call. Solo travel is the ideal opportunity to try something new, like a surf camp in Central America, a bike trip in Southeast Asia, or a visit to a classic European spa town. Despite the dreaded (and often costly) single supplement, bona fide single accommodations are both affordable and available in many parts of the world.
Still, there are two concerns for many solo travelers. The first is safety: the simple fact is that there are countries that are statistically safer than others for travelers.
The second concern is a bit less tangible but just as critical: is the country you've chosen a happy place? Is it a country where you'll be made to feel welcome, a nation where you can easily interact with the locals, where conversation flows easily even if you're struggling with a new language? For truly rewarding solo travel, it's crucial that you can connect with the culture and not feel like an outsider.
To find the answer to these two questions, we crunched the numbers from the Global Peace Index, which ranks 162 nations for their peacefulness, and the Happy Planet Index, which looks at environmental impact and human well-being in 151 countries to measure where people live long and happy lives.
The resulting 20 best destinations for solo travelers present an amazing mash-up of geography along with radically different cultures, languages, and customs. (Canada represents North America here, as the U.S. didn't rank highly enough to make the cut.) Safety and happiness prevail in all of them, making any of them ideal for your next solo adventure.
Safety Ranking: 4
Happiness Ranking: 24
In New Zealand, the lush setting of the Lord of the Rings films, travelers can look forward to adventures on glaciers, in rainforests, and on the peaks of the Southern Alps, not to mention bungee jumping, jet boating, and hiking on the legendary Milford Track. All while meeting some of the friendliest and most open-minded people in the world—a major plus for those going solo.
2. Norway

Safety Ranking: 10
The best way for solo travelers to experience an expensive country that's 1,000 miles long: aboard one of the Hurtigruten coastal steamers that sail up the coast of Norway, into the city of Bergen, and through some of the country's most beautiful fjords, stopping at dozens of ports along the way. Or sign up with a local outfitter for a multiday trek along the fjords, with accommodations ranging from comfortable hotels to mountain huts. The northern lights are gratis.
Matthew Hranek
Switzerland, a place known for people who mind their own business, is a natural choice for solo travelers. Equip yourself with good hiking boots and a Swiss Rail Pass—good for every train, tram, and lake steamer. You might start with a couple of days in stately, pedestrian-friendly Zurich and then head south to the shores of Lake Geneva for the bistros, nightlife, and museums of Montreux and Lausanne before carrying on to the Italian-speaking Ticino region.
Happiness Ranking: 1
You could argue that the concept of adventure travel was born here in Costa Rica, a.k.a. the world's happiest country. This Central American destination has been drawing Americans for decades to surf on the Pacific coast or join a rafting company for a day on the white water of the Reventazón or Pacuare rivers. If comfort is a priority, book one of the country's storied adventure lodges and head out for day trips in the cloud forest.
Daniel Gebhart de Koekkoek
Small and compact, Vienna is one of the easiest European cities to navigate as a solo traveler. Start with an abundance of concert halls, dozens of museums, and cafés where you are expected to linger, a tried-and-true Viennese tradition. Salzburg is even smaller but equally welcoming to singles. A superb rail network means that getting anywhere else in the country, from Innsbruck to Kitzbühel to Graz, is easy.
6. Vietnam
Brown Cannon III
Street life is colorful and safe in Vietnam's largest cities, whether you're exploring Ben Thanh market in Ho Chi Minh City or heading for Hanoi's massive Dong Xuan Market. Do tai chi with hundreds of others by Hoan Kiem lake before heading into the mountains of the Central Highlands, preferably on a trek with a local outfitter. Wind up with a stay on Phu Quoc Island for a taste of the classic Southeast Asian beach-bum lifestyle.
7. Chile
As a rule, Chileans tend to be friendly and welcoming, a plus for adventurous single travelers eager to explore this 3,000-mile-long country of deserts, mountains, and endless coastline. Whether you head north to the magical Atacama Desert or south to untrammeled Chiloé Island or Patagonia, save a little time for Santiago, safe and easy to navigate. You might well find yourself as a guest at a family asado, or Chilean barbecue—and becoming part of a local family may be the ultimate definition of a friendly country.
8. Japan (tie)
After a few days in the fascinating megalopolis of Tokyo, hop a bullet train ride past Mount Fuji to experience the contrasting tranquility of old Kyoto. Lodgings, from venerable ryokan inns to modern hotels, are designed with single travelers in mind. You can enjoy a communal hot spring bath, meditate in a Zen garden, and dine at the counter of a sushi restaurant—a classic favorite of solo travelers.
9. Sweden (tie)
Simon Bajada
It's easy to be a solo traveler in Stockholm, a compact city surrounded by the waters of the archipelago. Sea kayaking? Check. A day exploring the city's parks by bike? Easy enough. There are outdoor cafés, the artistic treasures of the Moderna Museet, and stellar shopping for design here in the country that gave us Ikea. City life aside, the quintessential Swedish experience is outdoors, lakeside or trekking in the far north, both easily done with an outfitter.
Christopher Wise
Let's see, temples, yoga on the beach, and cheap food, lodging, and massages. Then add an international roster of backpackers, hedonists, and spiritual seekers. It must be Bali, the single most popular destination for Western solo travelers in Indonesia. If you prefer someplace less touristy, take a 25-minute flight to Lombok, an island off the coast of Bali that feels like traveling back in time to 1970s Indonesia.

When we are hit with a trial, our first response is to run to a friend or someone's shoulder to cry on. We may experience a loneliness, but friends don't come to our aid. For me, those shoulders (my parents, siblings, life friends) were many miles away from me… literally in different states. I wanted one of them to be near me, but there was no chance of that. They had their own lives, jobs, families to take care of. I know they wanted to be near me, but it was not feasible. But would they have been able to give me true comfort?
What I needed was to run to God.
During those first few months, I spent a lot of time really getting to know God in a real way. There was no where else to go. And He was so attentive to my needs. He showed me that He knows what pain is all about. He knows my pain, physically and emotionally. I learned that it doesn't really matter what the trial is….
He has felt physical pain. He has been rejected. He has been ignored. He's been broke. He's had no place to live. You name it, He's been there. And through that He became my closest friend. He was the only one that could truly understand what I was going through.
Yes, I had my husband and my children who were there with me 24/7. They were there serving me. Wow! Did they serve me. Every morning, my husband gingerly helped me to the bathroom and helped me with all those personal hygiene items. Then took me back and propped me up in the bed so that I could read while he and my daughter prepared my breakfast. He moved us down to the first floor of our home to our guest room because I couldn't go up the stairs. He served me selflessly for months until I was able to do some of these things myself. He did all this while continuing to preach 3 times a week and even took on some of the things I did for the church. Tears come to my eyes as I type this that he would care for me this way.
My daughter who was a home school student gave up many things during her entire high school years so that she could cook, clean, and do the laundry for our family while continuing her schooling. As I was able to get out, she became my chauffeur. While she and I grew to have a wonderful friendship, she gave up all the normalcies of teenage life.
But with all that, they were at a loss because they couldn't feel my pain. They didn't know how to help. They didn't know what to do for me to ease my pain. Their hearts ached because there was nothing they could do. When they did try to help, many times it was painful. But Jesus knew my pain.
Jesus became the one I ran to in trouble. Those months and years developed a routine to finding Him first each day. Now I still start my day with Him and I take Him with me throughout my day as my shield. Sort of a portable refuge, if you will.
What I learned was I need to establish a relationship with God, the Friend, the Healer; the Protector; so that, the first place I want to run is to Him. Building a relationship is a two way street. I talk to Him; He talks to me. This is called prayer and meditation with Him.
Finding a refuge entails, getting down behind the protector. You get on your knees to hide. You get quiet so that the enemy cannot find you. You listen for your ally. This is prayer.
I don't have to run to refuge.
He, The Shield, is my Refuge.

Elbe Fairway Dredging Begins
Shailaja A. Lakshmi
The deepening and fairway widening program on the Elbe River officially launched yesterday (July 23).
"The adjustment of the Elbe fairway will offer much better connections between the Port of Hamburg and the global flow of goods," said Dr. Maximilian Rothkopf, Chief Operations Officer of Hapag-Lloyd AG, during a groundbreaking ceremony held today to mark the official start of dredging operations.
"Once the relevant work has been completed, the world's largest container ships will be able to reach the City of Hamburg with virtually no limitations," Rothkopf said. In addition to container liner shipping companies, he continued, this will ultimately also benefit customers worldwide, whose cargo will reach the Port of Hamburg more easily and quickly.
"Our clear commitment to our home port of Hamburg remains unchanged," Rothkopf added. "Hamburg offers us outstanding infrastructure and excellent hinterland connections - be it through a unique railway network or very good European motorway connections. This is another reason why we recently decided to relocate a large part of our North Atlantic services from Bremerhaven to Hamburg."
Hapag-Lloyd is the Port of Hamburg's largest customer when it comes to container handling. In the 2018 financial year, the Company handled roughly 1.9 million TEU in the Port of Hamburg, which corresponds to approximately 22 percent of the port's total volume.
Together with its alliance partners, Hapag-Lloyd handled around 3.9 million TEU, or some 45 percent of the port's total volume.

Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018) reviewed by Jonathan Berk
July 28, 2018 Jonathan Berk Film Reviews Leave a comment
Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018) is more than just the sixth film in this 22-year-running Tom Cruise-led franchise. It's the first in the franchise to have a director – Christopher McQuarrie, in this case – return. Fallout is also the first film that has elements of the previous film's story directly influence the main plot of the current one. Plus, Rebecca Ferguson and Sean Harris both reprise their roles from Rogue Nation, which is an interesting first, considering they aren't officially a part of Ethan Hunt's team. So, the sixth film of the franchise doesn't just rehash all of the old elements that the fans love – it also ensures that it doesn't deviate from the formula too much, leaving the audience with something old and something new. This is an equation that adds up to one hell of an entry into the series.
Mission: Impossible – Fallout is awesome
Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is still cleaning up the mess that – after capturing Solomon Lane (Sean Harris) two years earlier – sprang from the Syndicate. Followers of Lane, who have taken to calling themselves The Apostles, are teaming up with a mysterious political figure known simply as John Lark who has plans to use a nuclear weapon to tear down major elements of the establishment to begin to rebuild the world. IMF is forced to bring in CIA agent August Walker (Henry Cavill) after an early mission to prevent Lark from getting his hands on Plutonium fails, which ultimately raises the stakes and the questions of who can trust who.
Fallout features some of the craziest stunts that Tom Cruise has done while playing Ethan Hunt. An early stunt involves Hunt and Walker jumping out of a plane so far into the atmosphere that it requires oxygen tanks and full body suits. It's a stunning scene just watching it happen in the film, but knowing the details that went into it make it all the more shocking that it exists. Cruise had to jump out of the plane 106 times in order to get the three takes the filmmaker and he wanted. Plus, to film the whole thing, they had to use a cameraman who was a skydiver equipped with a head-mounted camera (for more of these details read this Deadline article). It's this kind of passion (and maybe a bit of insanity and sheer disregard for one's own life) that makes the Mission: Impossible stunts so memorable.
Of course, if the franchise solely relied on stunts around characters we didn't love or care about, it probably wouldn't have lasted so long. Hunt is a compelling lead, but the people who support him are the ones that keep me coming back. Benji (Simon Pegg) and Luther (Ving Rhames) have been a key part of the franchise, and are among my favorite elements in the series. While several characters have come and gone, some leaving big impressions and others outright forgettable, Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson) gets to rejoin the male trio in this film. She has been a great addition to the cast, getting major moments in Rogue Nation and is the first female agent returning in another film. Alec Baldwin returns in this film as well and gets at least two moments where he reminds the audience that he is a talented actor. The relationship between the characters and Hunt's passion for saving them and the world make this franchise one that still has legs despite its long-running (and often repetitive) stories.
The redundancy and predictability of Fallout's story is its weakest element. However, McQuarrie and co-writer Bruce Geller manage to still squeeze surprises into the familiar formula of the MI series. To be fair, some of the formulae is more genre-specific. Spy movies will often feature nuclear weapons, as they pose the biggest threat to our way of living. The genre relies on secrecy, so double crosses and not knowing who to trust will always play a role in the story. Knowing those recurring elements leads the audience to hope that the filmmaker has figured out some new way to do it that will both surprise the audience and be believable within the context of the film. McQuarrie and Geller achieve this at least twice during Fallout, making the few predictable elements make sense to the greater storytelling choices.
In the end, Mission: Impossible – Fallout was a total blast, even though it's two and a half hours long. The film features some of the best action set pieces released this summer, and are full of suspense and humor (thank you, Simon Pegg). Cruise has totally embraced this character, and his love and passion for the project shines throughout. He, like his character, is willing to risk everything to accomplish the goal; and he succeeded. Fallout receives the Must See rating.

The foundation for our Lynchburg pizza, as well as our sandwiches, is our focaccia dough. Due to the specific and lengthy process it undergoes, it ends up with a unique old-world flavor. We mix Italian flour, water, sea salt and yeast by hand. After the ingredients are mixed, we let our dough chill for 48 hours in our 'dough room', a special room that is climatized at 65 degrees. Once it has fermented for those 48 hours, we shape the dough into small portions. We allow it to relax and expand for an additional 24 hours in another chiller. On the fourth day, we remove the dough, and delicately press it down with the tips of our fingers and then bake it. This 'dough management' process gives the crust for the pizza and sandwiches on our pizza menu, an airy, chewy inside, with a crunchy, crusty bottom that has a distinct old world flavor. It's not common these days when doing a search for "pizza places near me" to find one that dedicates this much time and effort to the creation of their dough.
Our Sicilian-style pizzas are topped with the finest ingredients we can find and baked in a 500-degree pizza oven. We add buffalo mozzarella (made from Italian Mediterranean buffalo milk), along with other fresh, delicious ingredients. Combined with our special focaccia crust, these ingredients make for a tasty Lynchburg pizza you won't soon forget. We offer a variety of square pizzas, including Pepperoni, House-Made Spicy Sausage, The Combo, 3-Cheese, and Vegetarian. Order a slice or a whole pizza today from our pizza menu. Daughters and Sons Pizza offers dine in, takeout and delivery!
We are known for our amazing Sicilian style pizza in Lynchburg. Pizza, however, is not all we do. We offer delectable focaccia sandwiches. Our Muffaletta "New Orleans Style" sandwich is our take on this classic Louisiana specialty. Filled with Italian sliced meats, melted mozzarella, mild provolone, and creole olive salad, it has quickly become a customer favorite. The Tomato-Mozza sandwich, layered with fresh tomato, melted mozzarella, and basil pesto is a delightful sandwich version of a Caprese salad. And then there is the hot sandwich you can find at almost any restaurant, but not quite like this – the Grilled Cheese. Our Grilled Cheese has buffalo mozzarella, mild provolone, and grated parmesan, melted perfectly between to slices of our focaccia bread. We didn't just want to bring a new style to Lynchburg pizza but also offer unique versions of classic sandwiches such as these.
What goes well with our pizza and sandwiches? Salad. Our Green Caesar is made up with little gems salad, parmesan, toasted almonds, and green caesar dressing. Or maybe you're in the mood for the Spring Salad, a combination of spinach, little gems salad, cucumber, radish, and cilantro dressing.
Looking for something to share between two or more people in Lynchburg? Pizza, sandwiches and even salad are great choices, but our Cheese Board is ideal to share while having a craft beer or glass of wine. The Cheese Board is a selection of assorted cheeses, Italian sliced meats, olives, and warm focaccia bread. The board is perfect for enjoying while having a conversation between friends.
Let's not forget about dessert! You can't go wrong with a gourmet ice cream sandwich. These are not the dainty ice cream sandwiches you're used to. These thick treats are a filling dessert. We have The Classic, a chocolate brownie cookie & vanilla ice cream sandwich, as well as the ice cream sandwich of the week.
Let's face it, there are probably several pizza places near you, but Daughters and Sons Pizza has a warm and trendy atmosphere with unique offerings on the pizza menu.
When you're searching for incredible Lynchburg pizza, look no further, Daughters and Sons Pizza has you covered! Visit us or order delivery today! Have more questions? Contact us at our restaurant in downtown Lynchburg, Va.


"Home building is an industry dominated by small businesses, so the idea of simplifying the complicated tax rules related to business has great appeal. At the same time, our industry remembers painful lessons from the 1986 Tax Reform Act, when the commercial and multifamily sectors experienced a downturn due to unintended consequences," said Robert Dietz, an economist and assistant vice president for NAHB, in testimony during a House Ways and Means Committee hearing on tax reform and residential real estate.
U.S. Census data shows that more than 40 percent of renters are "rent burdened," or pay more than 30 percent of their household income on rent. The need for affordable rental options remains acute. The Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) is the most effective tool for the creation of affordable rental housing. Utilizing a public-private partnership to attract investment, the program has produced and financed more than 2 million affordable rental units since its inception in 1986.
When it comes to housing and tax reform, the spotlight typically falls on the mortgage interest deduction, and Dietz set the record straight on a number of false assumptions regarding this important homeownership benefit.
"The need for a larger home created the higher home loan deduction, not the other way around," said Dietz.
"The real estate tax deduction is an important reminder that home owners pay more than $300 billion in property taxes each year. This fact is often ignored in the federal tax debates because these taxes are collected by state and local governments," said Dietz.
There is also a direct correlation between the age of a home owner and their resulting benefit from the mortgage interest deduction. As a share of household income, the largest deductions are for those 35 and younger. The benefit of a deduction that reduces the net cost of monthly house payments is particularly important to these home buyers, who typically have less equity, tighter household budgets, and must meet the needs of a growing family.
"Given this demographic connection, NAHB believes that any policy change that makes it harder to buy a home, or forces young families to defer home purchases, will have a significant impact on wealth accumulation and the makeup of the middle class," said Dietz.
Noting that building 100 single-family homes creates more than 300 full-time jobs and $8.9 million in federal, state and local tax revenues that helps boost local communities and schools, Dietz said that how housing is treated in an future tax reform will shape the economy going forward.

Matt Gaetz Honored for Green Real Deal Proposal to Fight Climate Change
While he is best known for being one of President Donald Trump's top allies on Capitol Hill, U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., has been garnering applause from environmentalists for his record during his first two terms in Congress.
This week, Gaetz was honored by Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES) as a "Clean Energy Champion." Gaetz, a member of the Climate Solutions Caucus which is led by U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch, D-Fla., and U.S. Rep. Francis Rooney, R-Fla., was signaled out for his "Green Real Deal" on Tuesday.
"CRES is proud to announce Congressman Matt Gaetz as a 2019 Clean Energy Champion. His leadership in authoring the Green Real Deal jumpstarted a much-needed conversation for conservatives to craft a plan with the aim of reducing greenhouse emissions, spurring innovation, and investing in clean energy," said CRES Executive Director Heather Reams. "We also applaud Congressman Gaetz for his work to mitigate emissions from short-lived climate pollutants, and we look forward to continuing our work with him."
Back in April, Gaetz brought out his proposal which is "a plan to address climate change by harnessing the power of free markets, embracing technological innovation and entrepreneurship, and cutting excessive governmental red tape" and is "the preeminent conservative response to" U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's, D-NY, "Green New Deal."
Gaetz's office insisted his plan "recognizes that a national commitment to innovation, competitive markets, and the deployment of advanced energy technologies will help the United States as the global leader in clean energy" and the proposal "calls for increased investment in clean energy technology and sources, like solar and nuclear power, while improving transparency and accountability for the benefit of customers, investors, and shareholders alike."
On Tuesday, Gaetz expanded on his proposal.
"Each year, millions of tourists travel to Florida to visit our state's incredible beaches, waterways and fisheries. The effects of climate change pose a risk to Florida's small businesses and tourism-based economy, and it's why our country needs a Green Real Deal to address these challenges," said Gaetz. "I thank CRES for the honor of a Clean Energy Champion award and look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues to advance responsible policies that positively impact our country's climate and energy needs for America to continue to lead in reducing emissions and exporting energy."

Cécile DeWitt-Morette () a fost o matematiciană și fiziciană franceză, fondatoare a renumitei școli de vară din domeniul fizicii teoretice de la Les Houches.

Biografie
Pe nume complet Cécile Andrée Paule Morette, s-a născut la 21 decembrie 1922 la Școala de mine de la Paris. În acei ani, școala de mine era prevăzută pentru bărbați, însă tatăl fetiței, André Morette, a cerut ore la acea școală în decurs de un an și și-a stabilit reședința familială în incinta Școlii. André Morette și colegul său André Citroen au studiat la  Școala Politehnică în anii când Henri Poincaré preda cursuri fundamentale de teoria electromagnetismului. Absolvind printre cei mai buni clasă, a devenit inginer la Corpul de Mine și, după Primul Război Mondial, și-a asumat directoratul oțelăriilor de la Mondevill, în Normandia, precum și al minelor adiacente din Soumont. El și-a asumat de asemnea sarcina de a construi oțelăriile înaintea războiului, iar după război, în anul 1930, acestea reprezentau un centru important industrial.

Mama, Marie-Luise Ravaudet, se născuse la Clisson, a crescut la Poitiers, a avut o educație neterminată. A absolvit liceul și se pregătise să dea examenele de admitere la Sevres, dar, în schimb, s-a căsătorit cu André Morette. Mama și o soră a viitoarei fiziciene au decedat la Caen în urma unui bombardament american la data de 6 iunie 1944, în timp ce Cécile Morette susținea un examen la Paris. Un frate a decedat în luptă împotriva germanilor în anul 1940. Doi alți frați, la fel ca și o soră, au supraviețuit.

În anii 1930 Cécile Morette a devenit liderul trupei de cercetașe catolice, activitate ce a continuat clandestin și în anii de ocupație nazistă.

Întrucât mama sa i-a interzis să se ocupe de medicină (ca "fiind prea firavă"), ea a început să studieze fizica, mai întâi la Universitatea din Caen, iar ulterior la Universitatea din Paris. În 1947 și-a luat doctoratul, cu teza Sur la production des mésons dans les chocs entre nucléons.

După terminarea studiilor, a devenit "teoretician de casă" în laboratorul lui Frédéric Joliot-Curie, fiind supervizată ocazional și de Irène Joliot-Curie. Dar aceștia niciodată nu au servit ca model pentru Cécile Morette, din cauza caracterului grosolan al acestora și a bănuielilor, că orice persoană angajată la ei în laboratorul de radiație nu are ca scop ținte științifice.  În foarte scurt timp, o sursă de neutroni "prost plasată" a fost descoperită într-o zi sub hârtii, pe masa de lucru a d-rei Cécile Morette.

Cu excepția lucrărilor câtorva experimentatori, inclusiv Joliot, fizica franceză, aflată în declin înainte de război, a ajuns la dezastru spre sfârșitul acestuia. Acesta era adevărat în particular și pentru fizica teoretică. În anul 1944 Frédéric Joliot a însărcinat-o pe Cécile Morette să prezinte un raport asupra lucrărilor în domeniul fisiunii nucleare, în lumina modelului picăturii lichide realizate de Niels Bohr și John Archibald Wheeler (1939). Aceste lucrări nu puteau fi înțelese fără o bună cunoaștere a mecanicii cuantice. În acel timp în Franța nu se țineau curusri de mecanică cuantică; exista doar un mic grup de cercetători, întruniți în jurul lui Louis de Broglie, care discutau interpretarea acestei teorii.

Având susținerea financiară a lui Joliot, precum și autorizația autorităților militare aliate, Cécile Morette a reușit să se deplaseze în anul 1946 în Marea Britanie, unde s-a întâlnit cu Paul Dirac. Ulterior a vizitat și Dublinul, capitala Irlandei, unde a devenit membru al Institutului de studii avansate din Dublin. În Irlanda a progresat rapid, sub tutela lui Walter Heitler, directorul institutului de fizică teoretică de la Academia Sinica (Academia Chineză). Cât se poate de repede ea a calculat secțiunile eficace de producție ale mezonilor, folosind teoria lui Heitler de absorbție a radiației, publicând 3 articole.

Obținând doctoratul la Universitatea din Paris în anul 1947, ea a fost invitată de către Niels Bohr să devină membru al Institutet for Teoretical Fyzik din Copenhaga pentru un an. Aceasta a fost urmată de o invitație de la Robert Oppenheimer care venise la Institutul de studii avansate de la Dublin pentru 2 ani, începând din 1948 până în 1950. Tocmai acești ani petrecuți la Copenhaga și Princeton au devenit anii cei mai importanți în viața viitoarei fiziciene, aceștia exercitând asupra naturii ei deschise spre comunicare și generoase un impact pozitiv. Ea a devenit în curând adorată de toți. Heitler, cunoscut pentru pesimismul său, spunea: "Ai fost întotdeauna o optimistă, în toate acțiunile tale (fizica și altele), și cum mi se pare, evoluția evenimentelor ți-a dat dreptate"  (Heitler, 1951). Dacă faptele confirmă sau nu optimismul ei incurabil, aceasta este o chestiune discutabilă.

Pe parcursul sejurului la Princeton, Cécile Morette, prin intermediul lui Freeman Dyson, a făcut cunoștință cu Richard Feynman și a  studiat integralele pe traiectorii direct de la autorul lor. La sfârșitul anului 1949 viitorul ei soț, Bryce DeWitt, a sosit la Institut. Până la acea dată ea nici odată nu și-a imaginat că se va căsători cu un străin. Cu iraționalitate tinerească (pe care ea și Heitler o determinau ca optimism) ea acceptat propunerea lui Bryce DeWitt și aceasta a schimbat profund planurile ei profesionale. În decembrie 1949 ei i s-a oferit un post (echivalent cu conferențiar) la Universitatea din Nancy, care retrăia o expansiune, deoarece câțiva dintre matematicienii grupului Nicolas Bourbaki se mutaseră încolo. Cu toate acestea, ea a devenit atât de binecunoscută în curând, încât peste câteva luni ea a fost apropiată de Yves Rocard, fostul conducător al Laboratorului de fizică de la École Normale Supérieure din Paris, cu invitația de a ocupa o poziție similară la acea instituție prestigioasă. Totuși și de această dată ea a refuzat invitația, sugerându-i lui Rocard să invite un alt tânăr teoretician aflat la studii în străinătate. De asemenea, ea renunțase la invitația parvenită de la o companie mică (pe atunci): International Business Machines.

La câțiva ani după aceasta, Cécile DeWitt-Morette a hotărât să facă un lucru major pentru fizica franceză: să organizeze o școală de vară în domeniul fizicii teoretice, cu participarea celor mai de vază  fizicieni ai timpului în calitate de lectori. Cu ajutorul unui prieten a rezervat un loc  în apropiere de Les Houches, un sat din departamentul Haute-Savoie, în apropiere de vârful Mont Blanc. Însă dificultatea principală erau banii. După multe încercări pe la ministerele din Paris, a reușit să obțină încrederea unui demnitar pe nume Pierre Donzellot de la Ministerul educației, ceea ce a făcut posibilă demararea școlii.

Prima sesiune a școlii de vară de fizică teoretică a avut loc în anul 1951 în condiții primitive (lectorii școlii își spălau singuri rufele cu apă rece) și în condițiile primei gravidități a doamnei Directoare. Nu a fost greu să fie invitați Wolfgang Pauli, Leon Rosenfeld, Res Jost și Leon Van Hove, dar a fost mai greu să-i oprească de la discursuri prea îndelungate. Au fost 30 de studenți, din care junmătate erau francezi. Ulterior au fost inițiate cursuri cu cele mai avansate subiecte, care includeau câte 10-20 de lecții într-o perioadă de 8 săptămâni.

Calitatea înaltă a școlii este demonstrată de faptul că mulți dintre lectorii școlii (25 la număr în anul 1999) au devenit ulterior laureați ai premiului Nobel, iar dintre studenții școlii trei au devenit de asemenea laureați ai Premiului Nobel, doi - laureați ai premiului Fields și o duzină - membri ai Academiei franceze de științe. La un an după deschiderea școlii din Les Houches, societatea italiană de fizică a cerut ajutor în organizarea unei școli similare în Italia și peste un an a demarat renumita școală de la Varenna.

În anul 1958 NATO, la insistența senatorului Henry M. Jackson, a fosmat un comitet științific sub direcția lui Norman F. Ramsey cu scopul de a încuraja  școlile de vară din Europa occidentală, citând-o pe cea de la Les Houches ca model. Banii NATO erau canalizați sub formă de granturi directe către institute (pentru a acoperi predarea și costurile administrative) cât și pentru acoperirea cheltuielilor de călătorie și trai. Granturile directe către participanți - lectori și studenți - nu erau practic restricționate. Les Houches primea cele mai mari granturi. Către sfârșitul secolului XX circa 200 de instituții de cercetare din lumea întreagă primeau granturi NATO în fiece an.

În septembrie 1951 Cécile DeWitt-Morette și Bryce DeWitt  au vizitat institutul Tata de cercetări fundamentale din Bombay (India). Aici s-a născut prima lor fiică - Nicolette - și tot aici au publicat în comun un articol important. În anul 1952 Bryce DeWitt a acceptat o poziție în laboratorul de arme nucleare Livermore, Los Alamos , California, iar Cécile DeWitt-Morette s-a angajat ca lector la Universitatea Berkeley din California. Aici a avut primii studenți pentru doctorate și a ținut cursuri de teoria cuantică a câmpurilor. A doua fiică - Jan - s-a născut în anul 1955.

În anul 1956 soțul dnei Cécile DeWitt-Morette a acceptat directoratul Institutului de fizica câmpurilor, la Universitatea North Carolina din Chapel Hill, care își datora existența lui John Archibald Wheeler de la Universitatea din Princeton și lui Agnew H. Bahnson, Jr., un industriaș din Winston-Salem, Carolina de Nord. Cécile DeWitt-Morette a devenit co-director al acestui instuitut. În câțiva ani Bryce DeWitt a devenit profesor deplin, ocupând și catedra lui Bahnson, Jr., decedat de curând, în timp ce Cécile DeWitt Morette a fost degradată la poziția de lector universitar, în pofida faptului că ei îi aparțineau meritele în atragerea fondurilor pentru institut, catedră, în orgaizarea conferințelor științifice, și, în sfârșit, în gestionarea efectivă a institului de științe Naturale din cadrul Universității North Carolina. Ca pretext a fost invocată "lupta cu nepotismul".

În acest timp Cécile DeWitt-Morette nu numai a ținut cursuri și a condus lucrări de doctorat, dar a continuat să supervizeze școala de la Les Houches, ceea de nu era ușor din cauza distanțelor foarte mari până în Europa. Între anii 1966 și 1968 ea a fost membru al comitetului organizatoric a Societății Europene de fizică, iar în anul 1967, în colaborare cu John Archibald Wheeler, a inițiat primele întâlniri (Rencontres) Battelle la Seattle (SUA), râmânând în comitetul organizatoric al acestor instituții de vară până în  anul 1972. Preocuparea ei principală rămânea Les Houches, unde ea pleca în fiece an cu fiicele sale. Încă două fiice - Christanne și Abigail - i s-au născut în anii 1957 și 1959, respectiv.

Deși nu a fost separată total de munca de cercetare, la Chapell Hill a publicat doar 12 articole timp de 16 ani, astfel că devenise mai cunoscută ca administratoare, decât ca om de știință. Situația ei în North Carolina a devenit într-atât de dificilă încât în anul 1971 ambii soți părăsesc acest stat și acceptă invitația Universității din Texas. Datorită lui Alfred Schild și Frits de Wette (care a fost student la Les Houches), soții DeWitt au obținut posturi de profesori universitari titulari. Dar chiar și la Universitatea din Texas, pentru a evita "nepotismul", Cécile deWitt-Morette a avut doar o jumătate de normă și nu la facultatea de fizică, ci la departamentul de astronomie, care nu îi era pe plac. Din fericire ambele departamente erau în relații amicale, iar directorul celui astronomic (Harlan J. Smith) era foarte amabil cu ambii soți. Datorită acestui fapt, soții DeWitt au au fost colideri ai unei expediții finanțate de NSF, în Mauritania, în vederea observării unei eclipsă de soare în anul 1973.

În anul 1983 ultimele vestigii ale antinepotismului au dispărut din Universitate și Cécile DeWitt-Morette a trecut la facultatea de fizică. În anul 1987 poziția ei universitară fost completată până la cea de normă deplină. În anii de lucru la Universitatea din Texas a publicat 47 de articole și 2 cărți de importanță majoră. În același an a participat la simpozionul internațional Quantum Gravity, 1987, care s-a ținut la Moscova împreună cu soțul ei.

În anul 1972 (la vârsta de 49 de ani) a hotărât să se consacre definitiv cercetării, părăsind postul de director al școlii de vară de Fizică teoretică de la Les Houches, după 22 de ani de serviciu în slujba Franței și lumii întregi. Ea a rămas doar în comitetul de conducere.  Averea, pe care a lăsat-o succesorilor, consta dintr-un restaurant și bucătărie, 6 dormitoare moderne, care pot să adăpostească 75 de studenți și lectori, o clădire administrativă, o sală de conferințe, situate pe un teren alpin de 10 ha. Impactul  școlii de la Les Houches asupra desvoltării fizicii teoretice în lume în general și în Franța în special este inestimabil.

În anul 1981 guvernul Franței i-a decernat dnei Cécile DeWitt-Morette Ordinul Național al Meritului Științific, iar în anul 1999 Ordinul Legiunii de Onoare. În  anul 1992 i-a fost decernat Premiul influenței franceze (Prix du rayonnement français), iar în anul 1996 a fost desemnată în Consiliul de guvernare a Institututului de înalte studii științifice din Bures.

Printre alte ocupații ale dnei Cécile DeWitt-Morette se numără: schi, judo (centura cafenie), urmărire în zonă de la distanță, windsurf, înot și țesătorie. Ea a editat 29 de cărți, a fost membru a nenumărate comitete și comisii, a ținut cursuri în multe centre științifice.

BOBRYSHEV WINS BRITISH MX CHAMPIONSHIP ON RM-Z450
October 16, 2018 Michael Le Pard News Comments Off on BOBRYSHEV WINS BRITISH MX CHAMPIONSHIP ON RM-Z450
Team Suzuki Press Office – October 15.
Evgeny Bobryshev – 2 – 2 – 1st Overall Championship
Evgeny Bobryshev raced his RM-Z450 to victory in the 2018 British Motocross Championship at a storm-lashed final round at Cadders Hill Circuit near Lyng in Norfolk, UK at the weekend.
The Russian 'Lombard Express with Par Homes' Suzuki rider had it all to play for at the round – originally the opening round, but postponed because of bad weather conditions. But this weekend, many parts of the UK were battered by 'Storm Callum' – the season-decider included, ramping-up the tensions as the championship battles came to a head.
After a disastrous day at Hawkstone Park in August, Bobryshev's title hopes took a big hit; and then when the penultimate round of the series was cancelled a few weekends later, it looked as though the championship was over for the Russian, the 39-point deficit between 'Bobby and series leader Jake Nicholls difficult to claw-back in the two remaining motos.
But with Nicholls unable to race the final event because of injury, Bobryshev knew that he needed two third place finishes to earn the 40 points to wrap-up his second British title.
In the first moto, he took a second, then knew he would need fourth in the second, as conditions got worse: Strong winds and persistent rain made conditions tough for the MX1 riders as the gates dropped for their final moto of the year.
Bobryshev got another good start and was third on the opening lap, then taking the lead. However, after losing this, he kept his cool and kept the gap back to third behind him comfortable to cross the line for his second British motocross Championship title.
Evgeny Bobryshev:
''We got the title! It's been a difficult year racing over here, we didn't have much luck at times, but unfortunately, Jake got injured and we got our chance to try and get the title. I was stressed before the race, it's been eight years since I had a title and today we were in the position again. I'm super pumped and so happy for the team; they deserved this. I just want to say a huge thanks to the team and all the sponsors that supported us through the season. It's time to celebrate now!''
Neil Prince – Team Manager):
''I feel so relived. This year has been difficult for Bobby, he really hasn't had much luck. What happened to Jake is very unfortunate, we didn't really want to come here in this position, but we had to. The cameras and the videos show that Bobby has been up there this year, he's been winning races and shown great speed, but he's also crashed a lot. If we've done eight races, he's crashed in six of them, and they've been big crashes: At Hawkstone he had three really big crashes where he could've pulled out, but he just kept on going. Like I said we haven't had much luck in 2018 but today it came our way, and we'll take it. We've been there every weekend and Bobby has picked the bike up every time after some big crashes. It's been a big team effort from everyone, from Andy at Lombard and me to all the sponsors we have, from Suzuki UK, Meredith motorcycles, Paul Rowlands at PAR, SC Sports Homes and everyone else. Without all those people this couldn't happen.
"Bobby had to execute a solid day today, and he did that. He earned the championship today. I've been close to crying all day because I haven't been in this position for so long. It feels great to have the whole family and all our sponsors here, I can't thank everybody enough for making this possible.''

Q: Trouble implementing login to Keycloak with AppAuth I am trying to use the AppAuth example app to implement a login on my OAuth2 server (Keycloak).
I am not sure on what to write in the .json file, specifically, in "authorization_endpoint_uri","token_endpoint_uri" and "registration_endpoint_uri".
Could somebody explain to me which would be those URL?
This is my config file so far. When I try to log in, it appears my administrator login page.
{
  "client_id": "PowerApp",
  "redirect_uri": "https://appauth.demo-app.io/oauth2redirect",
  "authorization_scope": "openid email profile",
  "discovery_uri": "",

  "registration_endpoint_uri": "http://192.168.1.108:8080/auth",
  "https_required": false
}

Thank you very much!!  ;)

A: You can find out the details of the endpoints which keycloak provides from your keycloak server itself.
If your keycloak server is running on 192.168.1.108:8080, then the following URL should return a JSON response with the details which you are looking for in addition to other details.
http://192.168.1.108:8080/auth/realms/master/.well-known/openid-configuration
