Society Flashback Fascism And Decoding Its Many New Faces
Flashback Fascism And Decoding Its Many New Faces
Fascism today aims to transform democratic systems from within, rendering it more dangerous than its incarnations, from fascist leaders of past century.
By Nivedita Jayakumar Jan 3, 2020 5 min read
For the last few weeks, the streets are witnessing educated, well-informed, vocal and radical people, expressing their dissent against fascism in general and the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC), in particular, in their own ways. Despite suppressing their voice through state-sponsored violence, the protesters fuel their placards with facts, dark humour and truth provoking the minds of the country. One such placard which made a stark comparison to the history and a series of dinner table conversation was held by a German student of IIT-Madras.

Jakob Lindenthal, a German student who was studying at IIT Madras for an exchange program was asked to leave India when he was spotted participating in the CAA protests against the government. "1933 to 1945; We Have Been There," said the poster Lindenthal, carried when he joined other people in Chennai. Lindenthal had a semester left of his post-graduation in Physics and he was scheduled to leave India in May 2020.

Over the last week, Jakob Lindenthal, who is from Dresden in Germany, was spotted in multiple rallies which were carried out across the city against the passing of the Act. He also held a poster protesting police brutalities against students carrying the poster that said, 'Uniformed criminals = criminals'. I wanted to plunge into the former poster and the series round of conversation that went along, fascism and Hindutva.
Decoding Fascism
What is fascism traditionally?
Merriam Webster defines it as, "a political philosophy, movement, or regime that glorify nation and often race above the individual. It stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition." or in simpler words, "a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control."

In a constantly evolving world, defining ideological terms in its traditional sense no longer seems to serve its purpose. But rather failing to decode them counting their new wave is seen as a resistance against the "threat" of globalisation and migration.
So, what is fascism in today's world?
Fascism today aims to transform democratic systems from within, rendering it more dangerous than its past incarnations. The fascist ideology is markedly different from the fascist leaders of the past century by the global right-wing.

The main difference between the classical and contemporary incarnations of fascism is that today, they aim to transform democratic systems from within.
Another major difference is, the classical fascism focused on social welfare. Despite appealing to citizens' darkest instincts, it spoke to the social and psychological needs of citizens to be protected from the damaging effects of capitalism at a time when other political actors were offering little help. But now, the right-wing parties who sow new fascist wave, no longer feel the need to mobilise the masses by making grand promises of an alternative society or civilisation that would better their lives. Instead, they channel the anger and frustrations of isolated individuals who do not necessarily belong to the right or the left, but towards the "others" whose removal will supposedly solve all socio economic problems.

"On a world level, the situation that affects many countries is economic stagnation and the arrival of immigrants," said Robert O. Paxton a professor emeritus at Columbia University and one of the most prominent scholars on fascism, to the New York Times.
Global Fascism
Globally, the discussions are resurfacing about the revival of fascism for quite some time. This public discourse consisted of actions and laws by the government and government-sponsored which attack or ridicule a wide range of "others"— Muslims, women, immigrants and refugees— who are depicted either as threats or as objects of derision. The NY Times highlights this: In places like Russia and Turkey, leaders like Vladimir V. Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan employ strongman tactics. In Austria, a nationalist candidate came within three-tenths of a percentage point of becoming the first far-right head of state elected in Europe since World War II.

In Hungary, an authoritarian government has clamped down on the news media and erected razor-wire fences to keep out migrants. There are worries that Poland may follow suit. Traditional parties in France, Germany, Greece and elsewhere have been challenged by nationalist movements amid an economic crisis and waves of migrants. In Israel, fascism analogies by a former prime minister and a top general have again inflamed the long-running debate about the occupation of Palestinian territories.

The Conditioning In India
Sudhanshu Trivedi, a lifelong member who is now the B.J.P.'s national spokesman tells Dexter Filkins in his New Yorker article, that the R.S.S. is dedicated to the propagation of "Hindutva": the idea that India is first and foremost a nation for Hindus. Trivedi further goes quotes Dexter Filkins, "'Hinduism is not basically a religion—it is a way of life.' Anyone born in India is a part of Hinduism. Therefore, all the other religions found in India thrive because of Hinduism, and are subordinate to it. 'The culture of Islam is preserved here because of Hindu civilization,' Trivedi said."

It's no news that Modi and his allies are endorsing what they call the "New India." The 'New India' where, as we step into the new year we are also stepping into 150 days of communication internet shutdown in Kashmir. We are stepping into protest parties held in cities where people stand together, sing, collectively read the preamble to the Indian Constitution and share performances of dissent. We are stepping into a decade where people are detained and arrested for drawing kolams in front of their house as a sign of protest.

BigTee plots hip hop revival
Bianca Rugeje • 13 January 2016 2:14PM • 0 comments
HARARE - Rapper Tapiwa 'BigTee' Sekete is happy with the success registered by the Ghetto Gospel Movement that he formed late last year to promote upcoming hip hop talent in the ghettoes.
BigTee launched the Ghetto Gospel Movement in November 2015 at Mushandira Pamwe Hotel in Highfield with help from his brother, businessman Fungai Sekete.
"The Ghetto Gospel Movement is an initiative that seeks to promote hip hop in the less affluent suburbs and debunk the misconception that hip hop is for the rich "salad types" from the Northern and Eastern suburbs of Harare," the ambitious rapper told the Daily News.
The Nezi Green Nezi Red singer also bemoaned the fact that hip hop is now playing second fiddle to Zimdancehall.
"I am an upcoming artiste myself but I decided to form the Ghetto Gospel Movement because I cannot fold my hands while hip hop continues to lose its lustre. Sadly these days the ghetto youths no longer rate hip-hop music highly because they are focusing more on Zimdancehall.
"The ghettoes in Harare cannot afford to ignore hip hop. The rap art form started in the back alleys of the ghettos in The Bronx and Queens New York to voice concerns about the marginalisation of ghetto youths from the ghetto.
"Harare youths are in the same situation and that is why I formed a movement that seeks to bring back hip hop to the ghetto where it belongs," said the 27 year old artiste.
Despite music piracy ravaging the local music industry, the Highfield-born BigTee remains determined to promote hip hop.
"Piracy is one of the major problems that all artists in Zimbabwe are facing. The moment you record your song the following morning it will be on the streets being sold for just a dollar and this hurts me so much. But we have to soldier on.
"The Ghetto Gospel Movement is just the beginning. We hope to hold a show every Saturday and we are inviting hip hop artistes, both established and upcoming, to be part of this initiative," said BigTee.

This was a real impulse purchase, I hadn't researched it, I hadn't heard much about it, I'm not really sure what pulled me in to buy it to be honest but I am pretty smitten with this now - The Kiehls Midnight Recovery eye cream claims to reveal younger looking eyes by the morning, it is blended using Butcher's Broom, Squalane, Evening Primrose and Lavender - are Butchers Broom and Squalane not the best names ever?! - the Lavender is definitely quite prominent when applying this which is adds a nice relaxing element as well when applying in the evening and one of the key things that drew me in was the fact that it looked like quite a natural line up in the ingredients, I'm a lot more aware of what I'm putting on my skin these days so the mention of essential oils and botanicals sucked me in. This also claims to be paraben free, fragrance free and mineral oil free as well which is always nice and while it may be fragrance free, there is a mix of essential oils in this, so I think they mean that they don't add any artificial or additional fragrances to this.
One of the key claims is that this reduces fine lines and wrinkles, which is not something that I can comment on just yet, and being 25, I don't suffer from these too badly yet but I find it particularly good at reducing dark circles and reducing puffiness (I believe this is where the butchers broom comes in).Scent wise, the only way I can describe it is a kind of creamy lavender, which is one of my favourite scents so I'm happy with that. I also like the simplicity of the packaging, a dark blue tube with gold text, looks pretty and probably helped to draw me in. It's quite a creamy moisturising formula which my skin has been craving with this crazy weather at the minute, but it blends in quite nicely so it doesn't leave the skin around the eye coated or greasy.
I'm now hankering after the Midnight Recovery Serum, but can't quite justify splashing the cash on that just yet.

sounds like i need this in my life!! i am 25 as well but my undereye area looks so bad!
This sounds good! I love the Midnight Recovery Concentrate and have been soo curious about trying this as well, you make it sound fab! Great review!

U.S. Blacklists Two Major Chinese CPU Developers
Abdullah Nasir April 10, 2021 0
The silent war between China and the US over technology continues with the US blacklisting more and more Chinese companies. The US Commerce Department has announced that they have just added seven more Chinese entities to the DoC's Entity List which means that these companies or organizations are banned from obtaining all advanced technologies developed in the US.
Among these seven are two major CPU developers from China: Tianjin Phytium Information Technology and Sunway(Shenwei) Microelectronics. One company develops CPU chips for clients and servers based on the Armv8 Instruction Set Architecture and the other designs proprietary supercomputer CPUs.
What the ban means that these companies aren't able to import advanced US technologies. Now, both being CPU manufacturers, use EDAs or electronic design automation and other tools to manufacture these CPUs and SoCs. EDA is a US technology and after the ban, it is now impossible for the companies to develop their processors.
The Department of Commerce also banned four supercomputer sites in China including the National Supercomputing Center Jinan the National Supercomputing Center Shenzhen, the National Supercomputing Center Wuxi, and the National Supercomputing Center Zhengzhou. The reason the department gave was that allegedly the newly added entities supported the modernization of the Chinese People Liberation Army.
They were producing supercomputers for the military, developing weapons of mass destruction, and were also part of other destabilizing efforts. U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina M. Raimondo said in a statement that "Supercomputing capabilities are vital for the development of many – perhaps almost all – modern weapons and national security systems, such as nuclear weapons and hypersonic weapons".
It feels like a well-thought-out excuse but it would be dumb to think that all these big companies don't have any dark secrets hidden.

CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA, February 4, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Many people who are looking for a cost-effective way to update their homes or just feel like a change, turn to DIY. There are thousands of "how to" websites and DIY projects online. You can look up almost anything you need to know on the internet and get tips and inspiration on how to transform your home in a few quick, easy steps. There are also an amazing array of product and paints out there to help you achieve the look you want. DIY has never been easier. But nobody is perfect, and we all make mistakes. Here is a list of cabinet painters in Calgary.
Here are 10 pitfalls and common mistakes that you want to avoid.
Newly painted kitchen cabinets are great. They uplift your home and bring a bit of colour into your life. But don't have unrealistic expectations, your cabinets are probably not going to look as good as new and they aren't going to be totally smooth. If the cabinets have a visible grain, paint is not going to hide it. If you're determined to get rid of the grain you need to fill it with putty, but this is a time consuming and challenging exercise.
Painting your kitchen cabinets is not a Saturday afternoon project, or even a weekend one. You need to give yourself enough time to do the job properly. If you rush your kitchen cabinet painting project, you will be disappointed with the end result. Depending on the size of your kitchen, it will probably realistically take you a week or more to complete the project.
Painting the doors and drawers of your kitchen cabinets in situ is possible, but it's not easy and it's not recommended. Take the time to remove the doors, drawers and hardware (hinges, screws, handles, decorative additions) from the cabinets. Don't be tempted to paint over the hinges and handles because the paint will almost immediately chip, flake off and ruin your makeover.
When you remove the doors and drawers, you need to label the back of each one with a number or position so that you can easily put them back in the right place.
You need to clean your cabinets properly or the new paint will not adhere to the surface. Your best option is to use a degreaser like TSP (trisodium phosphate).
Even if your cabinets still look good you need to sand them to roughen the surface so that the new paint has something to adhere to.
When you finish sanding thoroughly clean all the surfaces before you paint. Just a few specks of dust can ruin your look.
Priming is a critical step. You might not notice any problems at first but if you don't prime, within a few weeks or months, knots in the wood will bleed through your paint, ruining all your hard work.
You get what you pay for. It's as simple as that. The cheaper the paint, the cheaper the finished product will look. If you want your kitchen makeover to look good and last for years, you need to buy good quality paint. Quality paint is also easier to work with and gives you a smoother finish.
Painting your kitchen cabinets is a big project, it takes time and commitment, and you don't want to stumble at the final hurdle. Wait for the paint to cure before you reassemble your cabinets and reattach your hardware.
Transforming your kitchen is a big job, and before you tackle any major kitchen cabinet painting project in your Calgary home it is a good idea to visit your local paint expert and get some advice.

The provincial government is increasing the PST to six per cent and removing exemptions on items like children's clothing and restaurant meals to help try to address a dark financial picture in Saskatchewan.
The 2017-18 provincial budget, released Wednesday afternoon by Finance Minister Kevin Doherty, has the province in a deficit for the fiscal year with a three-year plan to emerge from the red. The province has forecast a $685-million deficit this year , followed by a $304-million deficit in 2018-19 before getting back into the black in 2019-20 with a $15-million surplus.
PST goes up to 6%, STC being shut down as province releases 2017-18 budget Back to video
Here's a look at some of the spending decisions that will affect Saskatchewan people.
PST going up, exemptions dropped
The provincial sales tax is going from five per cent to six per cent Thursday (which will add an estimated $242.1 million to the coffers). As well, a number of exemptions on the PST are being eliminated. You'll now pay PST on children's clothing (an extra $15.6 million for the province), restaurant meals and snack foods ($94.5 million), construction services ($344.6 million) and more.
The government is also hitting smokers and drinkers with a "sin tax." Cigarettes will go up two cents each and booze will now get an additional four- to six-per-cent mark-up.
On the plus side, the government has introduced a 0.5-per-cent decrease to personal income tax rates in 2017 and 2019. Corporate income tax rates will see the same drop.
STC being shut down
The Saskatchewan Transportation Company, the provincial bus company that serves 253 communities, is being axed , leaving 224 people out of the job. STC has been losing money for years (only two of 27 routes are profitable) but has been viewed by many as an essential service. Parcels will be accepted until May 19 and passenger service will end on May 31.
"Over the next five years, STC is forecasted to require more than $85 million in subsidies to continue operating. Our government believes that those funds can be put to better use elsewhere in government," said STC Minister Joe Hargrave.
Buses have been cancelled for the rest of the day Wednesday as employees were informed of the news.
School boards staying locally elected
After facing harsh criticism over musing about amalgamating school board, the government decided in the end to keep the province's 28 divisions as is . The province, in considering the report from the Advisory Panel on Education Governance Renewal had looked at making one provincial board or larger regional boards.
While boards will stay locally elected, they are facing a significant cut with $115 million less going toward kindergarten to Grade 12 funding, due largely to a chop in capital projects. Operating funding is down 1.2 per cent to $1.86 billion.
Libraries are also taking a hit. The seven regional library systems in Saskatchewan are losing more than 50 per cent of their funding going from $6 million to $2.5 million and the $1.3 million spent last year fro the Regina and Saskatoon public libraries is gone.
Universities seeing across-the-board cut
All of Saskatchewan's universities, colleges and technical institutes will see their provincial operating funding slashed by five per cent this year as the government attempts to eliminate a roughly $1.3-billion deficit over the next three years.
University funding laid out in the provincial budget released Wednesday is pegged at $450 million — down $20 million from last year's $475 million. Technical institutes will see their funding decrease to $150 million from $156 million and colleges will receive $27.3 million, down from $28.8 million.
Funding for universities has decreased every year for the last three years since the institutions and their affiliated colleges received $489 million in 2014-15. The University of Saskatchewan has been particularly hard hit and was asked to hold back $20 million worth of spending in 2015-16 to put less pressure on provincial coffers.
Social Services sees budget bump, but fewer people receiving social assistance
At a time when most provincial departments are being asked to tighten their belts, social services is receiving an influx of $73 million to help an increasing number of people who are accessing its programs.
But despite the record-high amount earmarked for social services, many benefits are being reduced and the ministry is launching a review that could result in fewer people being eligible for social assistance.
People receiving Transitional Employment Allowance (TEA), which is given to those who are participating in pre-employment services or who are ready to work and seeking employment, will see their monthly cheques reduced by $20 as of July 1. There were roughly 5,500 people receiving TEA benefits as of Jan. 1 and the change is expected to save the government $954,000 this year.
People who access benefits through the Saskatchewan Assistance Program (SAP), which is for those who can't meet the basic cost of living, and the Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID), which is for those with significant disabilities, will also see some benefits reduced as of July 1.
The ministry will continue to pay for cremations and burials of those on SAP and SAID, but as of July 1 will no longer cover the costs of funerals services or viewings. The government estimated it paid for those services about 400 times last year and stopping this practice is expected to save $1 million this year.
The $5.2 billion 2017 health budget marks a $38.6 million increase – 0.7 per cent – over the previous year.
It also shows the beginning of the transition to a new provincial health authority. While total funding to health regions is up 1.2 per cent, each one except Athabasca has seen its funding chopped roughly in half. The single health authority, slated to begin this fall, has instead been allocated $1.7 billion.
The health ministry is tightening its belt in other areas to the tune of $6.5 million.
Long term care fees will increase, based on income, for about 50 per cent of residents. The Hearing Aid Plan, podiatry services, continuous positive airway pressure generators and low cost orthotics will no longer be publicly covered except for low income residents.
Chiropractic services will no longer be covered for low income safety net recipients starting July 1.
Wascana Centre Authority is no more
Wascana Centre, which includes the Legislative Building grounds, Wascana Park and other green spaces in Regina, is under new management.
Formerly overseen by the Wascana Centre Authority, which was funded by the province, the City of Regina and the University of Regina, the provincial government will take over operations of the area .
The city and U of R will still have input into the decisions made about the space

Bellator title aspirations prompted Darrion Caldwell's drop to bantamweight
Mike Bohn
May 5, 2015 10:45 am ET
Darrion Caldwell
Darrion Caldwell said he was waiting for the right time and place to move down to the bantamweight division. When offered a matchup with former 135-pound title challenger Rafael Silva at Bellator 137, the 2009 NCAA Division I national wrestling champion knew the moment had arrived.
Caldwell's (6-0 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) drop in weight was not sparked by a loss or physical struggles at featherweight. He said his plan was always to fight at bantamweight against proven opponents like Silva (22-4 MMA, 3-1 BMMA). With his career still in its infancy, though, he didn't want to put too much on his plate at once.
"I always bumped up in weight class since I was younger, and even when I was wrestling, I'd be several pounds above where I weighed," Caldwell told MMAjunkie. "I'd be 147 or 149 and wrestle at 152. So now I walk out of practice at 146. I've always been a lighter at featherweight if anything. Getting down to 135 has always been on my mind.
"I've been doing all the right things to make sure this weight cut is going as easy as possible. I'll just have to see how my body feels going on that day. I feel really good. My head coach is a nutritionist, and he's got the right methods and does the right things to put me in a position to feel healthy and do the things I want to."
Looking for any minor advantage, fighters typically try to compete at the lowest weight possible. Caldwell went a different direction early in his career, and he gained precious experience and built a skillset without the added stress of weight cutting. He said he's now at a point where he can take on the additional task of dropping an extra 10 pounds.
So when offered next week's matchup against a notable foe in Silva, he finally pulled the trigger.
"For me, it was more about when I was going to start getting the bigger names that have fought title fights and have had belts," Caldwell said. "When preparation meets opportunity it's a recipe for success. I feel like this was just a matter of when it was going to happen, and this is the time.
"I'm ecstatic Bellator has the faith in my abilities to give me a fight against an established opponent. It's a dream come true. I'm just ready to take this fight head on."
Caldwell meets Silva at Bellator 137 on May 15 at Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, Calif. The bantamweight bout airs on the Spike TV-televised main card following prelims on MMAjunkie.
"The Wolf" has never faced an opponent with the name value and experience of Silva. However, he said his three victories under the Bellator banner, including two first-round submissions, prove he's ready to rise to the occasion.
"You can look at it two ways: You can look at it like pressure breaks ice, or pressure makes diamonds," Caldwell said. "I look at it at the pressure makes diamonds side. I know I'm a diamond, and I'm going to go out there and prove it."
Caldwell knows a victory over Silva means there's no turning back to low-profile fights, but that's exactly what he wants. Caldwell said he doesn't plan to plead for a title shot with a win. However, if he beats Silva in his expected fashion, he doesn't think it will be long before a title fight is presented.
"I'm ready for anybody in the division that Bellator wants to fight me," Caldwell said. "If (current champ) Marcos Galvao for the championship is my next fight, then I'll be ready for it. If it's whoever else, then I'll be ready. My goal is obviously to be a world champ. If after this fight Bellator is going to give me an opportunity to accomplish my goal, then I'm going to take it and run with it. I'm going to take it in stride."

Although there has been a place of worship on the site of Hereford Cathedral since at least the 8th century, much of the building as it stands today was rebuilt in the 12th century.
Hereford Cathedral is also home to the medieval Hereford Mappa Mundi. This map, drawn on a single sheet of vellum, records how thirteenth-century scholars interpreted the world in both spiritual and geographical terms.
Hereford Cathedral has a long musical tradition, with a choir dating back at least as far as the 13th century and now has three organs.
The Festival Organ was built by Nicholson & Co. in 1927, specifically for use at the Three Choirs Festival. This smaller instrument, located at the rear of the cathedral nave, is built on stilts so that its console is at the level of the festival platform. This enables the whole structure to be moved so as to be level with the orchestra for the festival. It is also used regularly for teaching, practice, and concerts by the Hereford Choral Society and others at the west end of the cathedral.
After 85 years' service the organ was restored by Nicholson & Co. in time for the Three Choirs Festival held at the cathedral in July 2012. The restoration encompassed the removal of the pipework, soundboards, chests and reservoirs to the workshop for renovation, and included the application of gilding to the case pipe mouths. The work took approximately three months to complete.

GDPR - GENERAL DATA PROTECTION
GDPR is currently one of the most often frequently used abbreviations in the media. What is GDPR, who is affected, is it necessary to care aboutdeal with it and should you now change the processes your in your organization processes?
General Data Protection Regulation or the commonly used abbreviation GDPR is a Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the council Council on the data protection of natural persons with regard to processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data. It is most probably the most complex jurisdiction legal regulation in the world, which is related to the topic of data privacy. It defines new terms, introduces new rights for natural persons, but mainly defines obligations for companies, which are processing private data of natural persons. After 22 years it will replace the still valid Direction Directive of the European Parliament 95/46/ES of the European Parliament and of the Council -, The Data Protection Directive.
The GDPR regulation will become effective from May 25, 2018 and will become directly enforceable in all the states of the European Union. In the Slovak Republic, the Office for Personal Data Protection (OPDP) had already proposed a new jurisdictionlaw, which is mostly reproduces copies the GDPR regulation. In 2018 it will replace the law n. 122/2013 Coll. on data privacy protection as amended Z.z. about the data privacy protection.
So what does GDPR introduce?
The Regulation extends the definition of personal data to any information about an identified or identifiable natural person (the concerned person). An identifiable person is a person who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to a particular identifier, such as name, identification number, localization data, online identifier or one or more specific elements of physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity.
Significant change is the way in which consent is granted by the concerned person. Such consent must be free, explicit, conscious and unambiguous. It must not be part of the General Business Terms or any other directive or contract.
The minimization of data requirements is important. In practice, this means that only personal data that are necessary for the performance of the entity's activities for a defined purpose and for a predetermined limited period can be collected (the current legislation allows the collection of personal data for an indefinite period).
Entities processing personal data of natural persons are obliged based on GDPR to report security incidents to the affected persons as well as to the public authorities within 72 hours.
Last but not least, GDPR introduces a new role of a responsible person (in the form of the Data Privacy Officer (DPO)). The GDPR directly defines the cases when it is mandatory to implement this role within an organization (for example, public authorities, entities whose main activity requires extensive legal and systematic monitoring of personal data, subjects and processors of sensitive personal data).
The obligation of the processors of personal data is also to keep records of the all processing activities.
GDPR brings many rights for individuals, such as the right to be informed, the right of access to information, the right of rectification and erasure - the right to be forgotten, the right to limit the processing of data, the right to data portability, the right to object, the right to information on a security incident. All of the above rights correspond to the current trends in information security and privacy. At the same time, however, they represent obligations for data subjects to process personal data, allowing individuals to exercise the above rights
Why is it necessary to deal with GDPR and who is affected by GDPR?
The Regulation brings new and higher penalties for violation. The still effective legislation in the Slovak Republic allows the Office to impose a fine of up to 200,000.- EUR for violating the law. Under the GDPR, the sanction has risen to 20,000,000.- Eur, or 4% of the worldwide turnover (whichever is higher).
In addition to the sanctions, GDPR also defines the right of compensation for damages caused by an operator or an intermediary if the natural person has suffered material or non-material harm as a result of a violation of the GDPR regulation.
With regard to the interest of the media in the topic of personal data breaches and the loss of sensitive information, it is also important to assess the impact of an incident on the threat to the organization's possible loss of reputation.
All entities processing personal data of natural persons should be aware of GDPR. They are directly concerned by GDPR and are required to harmonize their business practices with this regulation from May 25, 2018, otherwise they are subject to the above-mentioned sanctions. In practice, this means that every organization that has employees; database of customers, suppliers or partners (if they are natural persons or natural persons entrepreneurs). We may find it dificult to identify an organization that would not be affected by the GDPR regulation.
The GDPR is an evolution, not a revolution, in the area of personal data protection. The Regulation develops and replaces current legal standards due to their obsolescence and a need of harmonization within the EU. It introduces new adequate rights and obligations in view of the current global trends in digitization and the rapid development of cybercrime.

Tesla says Powerwall now eligible for S.A. home battery scheme
By Sophie Vorrath January 15, 2019 Battery/Storage, Policy 0 Comments
Another major name in home energy storage has been officially added to the list of providers for South Australia's Home Battery Scheme, with Tesla revealing its Powerwall had been approved for the massive program.
In a statement issued last week, Tesla said its 13.5kWh lithium-ion home battery systems were now eligible for the full $6,000 subsidy – although participating South Australian households might have to wait a little while for delivery.
The company has set up a temporary stall at Adelaide's Rundle Mall – it will be open through to Sunday 10 February – to spruik its role in the scheme, and the specs of its storage technology.
Pricing of Powerwall is $12,350 (including hardware), so with the full $6,000 subsidy the cost would be $6,350, but with added installation costs ranging from $1,450 to $4,000.
All that amounts to quite a decent chunk of cash to stump up, particularly for the concession-holding households that would actually have access to the full subsidy.
But there will be time to save up – Tesla has confirmed there is a 12-week waiting period for the batteries.*
South Australia's battery subsidy, launched last October by the state's then-newly elected Liberal government, offers up to 40,000 homes access to grants and low-interest finance for both battery storage and new rooftop solar installations.
The $200 million scheme – half in grants and the other half in loans provided by the Clean Energy Finance Corporation – is forecast to add up to 400MWh of storage to the state's grid, which could in turn time shift the output of solar, and provide essential grid services.
As we have reported, the program has also spawned major manufacturing deals with German giant sonnen, international player Alpha-ESS, and then with Canada's Eguana technologies.
That's because in the first nine-week period of the scheme, the government mandated that battery systems manufactured or assembled in South Australia would be given priority.
As a result, sonnen Group began assembly of its sonnenBatteries in Australia in November last year, at the old Holden car plant in Adelaide. It intends to produce 10,000 batteries a year at the new factory.
In the same month, Alpha-ESS signed an agreement with the state government to make more than 8,000 of their SMILE 5 home batteries in Adelaide a year.
Tesla, meanwhile, is already installing 1,100 home battery systems as part of the first two stages of a proposed 250MW VPP unveiled by the previous Labor government.

Q We are a family of four with children aged ten and eight and are trying to book a holiday to the US next year to celebrate a special birthday. We would love to see some of the real America, avoiding Disney and theme parks. We would like to see some sights, enjoy being outdoors and our budget is about £7,000.
A How about a couple of days' sightseeing in Washington DC, followed by a few days in Shenandoah National Park and a visit to the Blue Ridge Mountains, as well as having a go at riding, kayaking and tubing? From here you could head to Virginia Beach for hydro-biking and the Virginia Aquarium, which offers dolphin and whale-spotting excursions. The final stop could be the living museum that is Williamsburg, which also has a treetop adventure park within easy reach. American Sky (01342 889127, americansky.co.uk) could offer this 11-night itinerary from about £6,500 for a family of four next year including flights, SUV hire (excluding Washington DC) and hotel stays on a room-only basis for two adults and two children sharing. Alternatively, you could book a fly-drive from Boston along the New England coastline to Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard, stopping at Plimoth Plantation, another living-history museum, that tells the story of the Mayflower settlers. Prices start at £449pp, excluding flights but including car hire, accommodation and ferry crossings through American Affair (020 3424 6514, americanaffair.com).
Q I shall be 80 next year and would like to celebrate with my family: 19 people aged from 88 to 6. Some will be coming from New Zealand and Canada, as well as from the UK. I should like to take them all for a weekend in early September to a hotel or a large house with staff to do the cooking. Golf near by, a pool for the little ones and something to entertain the teenagers would be good. I hope to get away with less than £5,000.
A If some of the family are flying in from the other side of the world, it would make sense to base your celebrations not too far from an airport. Ridge Farm (thebigdomain.com) is a beautiful 16th-century house near Dorking in Surrey (20 minutes from Gatwick) that used to be a recording studio. It sleeps up to 24 in 12 bedrooms and has a swimming pool, hot tub and tennis court as well as plenty of golf on the doorstep. Catering can easily be arranged and two nights in September costs £3,750. Or you might consider the Runnymede-on-Thames hotel (runnymedehotel.com) near Heathrow, which has a great location on the banks of the Thames (plus boats for hire for picnics or parties), indoor and outdoor pools, a spa, tennis courts and golf near by. Double rooms start at about £145, half-board.
Q I have just spent a week at a hotel in Crete, which was exclusively for single people. It was perfect. I loved the freedom to do whatever I wanted during the day and the guaranteed company of other guests for an evening drink and dinner. Do other singles hotels exist? I would love to visit a warm Aegean or Mediterranean coastal location.
A Try Friendship Travel (0844 8002770, friendshiptravel.com), which runs house parties where it books all, or the vast majority, of rooms in a hotel for single travellers and employs a host to ensure that no one feels left out. Caesar's Gardens near Lindos on Rhodes is one of its most popular house-party spots and it has a pool, mature gardens and an outdoor spa. A week this summer starts at £920pp, including flights, daily breakfast and afternoon tea, five dinners and a barbecue lunch.
My husband and I went to South America for a two-week holiday booked with Saga Holidays. We arrived at Heathrow to be told that our onward flight from Sao Paulo to Santiago had been cancelled and there would be a five-hour wait in Sao Paulo. Another flight was cancelled en route to Iguazu Falls; the delay was for three hours; the Saga tour manager obtained lunch for the group and vouchers to the value of $75 (£58) each from LAN Airlines. We were unable to cash them in South America so on our return I contacted customer services and was told that our account would be credited with $150 (£116) within two weeks. It wasn't. I asked Saga to help but it said it couldn't — although it offered a £75 discount off a future holiday.
dispute with a travel company, try to resolve it before contacting us. Do not send us original documents. Unfortunately we cannot reply to every inquiry.

American Eagle withdraws from UK
26 July 2017By Pui-Guan Man
US fashion retailer American Eagle Outfitters is pulling out of the UK, three years after launching in the country.
The young fashion retailer closed its Bluewater store in Kent last week, and has stopped trading at its other two stores in Westfield London and Westfield Stratford.
American Eagle will also halt its British ecommerce platform, and reroute its UK customers to its US website for purchases.
A spokesman for American Eagle confirmed the closures, adding: "Our valued UK customers will still be able to shop for American Eagle products online."
Property agency Harper Dennis Hobbs, which has been advising American Eagle in the UK, declined to comment.
The brand debuted in the UK with the trio of store launches in November 2014.
In 2015 it emerged the retailer, which is based in Pittsburgh, had also planned to expand with around three to four store launches outside London and the south-east in 2016 and a similar amount this year.

Impressive though the AEO store in Shepherds Bush was, it was obvious from the start that it was another foreign retailer bringing nothing to the party here in the UK. It joins a long list that includes (off the top of my head) Esprit, Kookai, Morgan, Bosideng, Guess Jeans, Kit & Ace, and Banana Republic. Of those who haven't yet thrown in the towel, I can't believe J Crew, Club Monaco and Forever 21 are doing anything significant in the UK; the first two's almost-adjacent stores in Redchurch Street, Shoreditch look weirdly ghostly. I am all for free trade, but who advises these business to attempt to make money in our already over-shopped UK market?

Labour delegates confirm: People's Vote should include option to stay in EU
Responding to comments by Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell this morning, a series of delegates and Labour members who were in the room as the composite motion was being discussed have spoken out. All of them have emphasised that the motion they wrote not only opens the door to Labour backing a People's Vote but also that they were determined to keep the option of staying in the EU.
Labour Shadow Brexit Secretary Keir Starmer who helped draw up the composite has told Laura Kuenssberg, the BBC's political editor, that the decision was definitely not to take anything off the table - and a vote to remain may well have to be one of the options. He subsequently told reporters that: "The meeting last night was very clear that the question of a public vote should be open. We weren't ruling out options and nobody was ruling out remain. There were 300 people in the room and that was absolutely clear."
Andrew Lewin, CLP delegate for Brentford and Isleworth and founder of Remain Labour, said:
"The motion we agreed calls on Labour to, 'back a relationship with the EU that guarantees full participation in the single market'. That is a significant step forward. It commits the party to backing EEA membership as an absolute minimum. Moreover, we deleted a line which said that any public vote would be, 'on the terms of Brexit'. In short, we explicitly rejected the idea that any future referendum could be between two different types of Brexit. We have a motion that effectively rejects the idea of a referendum solely on different forms of Brexit and increases the chances of a Peoples Vote."
Laura Vogel, CLP delegate for Bromley and Chislehurst said:
"It was clear last night that we were voting as delegates to keep all options on the table, including the option to stay in the EU. That's what we understood from Keir Starmer, Shadow Secretary for Brexit, so today's comments from John McDonnell are puzzling."
Izzy Lenga, CLP delegate for Chipping Barnet and member of the group FFS, said:
"I was in the room as Labour's motion on Brexit was being discussed and debated. It was quite clear that a People's Vote is being kept on the table as an option, and that any such vote could include an option to stay in the EU. To suggest that any People's Vote would be limited to a disastrous choice between different bad Brexits is not an accurate reflection of the motion that was agreed by Labour delegates."

Every year we try to get together for a weekend of wheeling and camping. This year, like the last 2 years, we decided to hit AOAA. We had a group of 6 rigs for Saturday, and 5 for Sunday. Tammy, (JeepMomma) one of the Co-Hosts of The Jeep Talk Show, which I contribute to. I invited her along so she could experience a new park. She's been hitting Rausch Creek and while that's a great park, it's good to get to other places and experience more. She wasn't able to make the whole weekend though, so she just came saturday morning, and left saturday evening.
The rest of us camped from Friday night, and wheeled Saturday and Sunday. It was a fun weekend, and it was great meeting Tammy and getting to introduce her to our group. While we're all more experienced, she was able to keep up just fine, and we made sure we had some guys available to spot her whenever she felt like she needed it.
I had my wife and our oldest daughter along. My wife is a little bit of a chicken when it comes to harder obstacles, but she's happy to get out and take pictures. Kiera, our daughter, is getting used to it. She had to get used to some of the noises the rocks made when they contacted the bottom of the jeep. You'll hear her in the first section of the video, but you'll notice she gets better as they video goes on.
I've uploaded all of the pictures that I have to my Gallery. I've also made a nice video report, which I'll embed below.


Most clubs run junior tennis leagues for different age groups and abilities. Seasons vary in length, with matches usually played on weekends.
