A Fossil Fuel Free Zone (FFFZ) is a geographic area characterised by the complete absence of fossil fuel exploration, production, transportation, intermediate treatment, and consumption activities. Many "intermediate" zonal statuses are also defined, e.g. "coal supply free zone" (see Figure 1).
Any collective entity at any scale—a local football club, university, municipality/council, subnational state/province, country, regional grouping of countries, or the entire world—could in principle be a FFFZ. All it would take is for people to declare what they already are (e.g. the vast majority of the world is already a "fossil fuel supply free zone") and start working toward 'higher' status.
Public declarations of achievement by collectives would inspire followers elsewhere, help build global norms against fossil fuels, and shame laggards. Participation in meaningful collective action also gives people a sense of personal efficacy in contributing to climate mitigation that isolated individual actions do not. Groups at similar levels (eg. municipality-to-municipality) could build networks and exchange ideas and information about how to progress to higher levels. Crucially, this initiative would be additive and complementary to (not competitive with) existing initiatives such as C40 cities, ICLEI, transition towns, coal moratoria, fracking bans etc.
This proposal draws on a wide body of social science theory and evidence— concerning, e.g., the development and spread of moral and social norms, behavioural psychology, social movements and political mobilisation—analysed and discussed by the author in associated academic journal articles. It also draws on the historical precedent of Nuclear Weapon Free Zones, five of which have been established by international treaty in populated regions of the world—Latin America, the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Central Asia—and which have been highly effective nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament institutions.
An organisational platform is needed to further develop the strategy, and to champion and lead this effort. This body could also: further define each zonal status and the criteria necessary to achieve it; develop an authoritative system of reporting and verification to certify the achievement of zonal statuses by participants; facilitate network-building and information exchange among participants; and maintain a public website with a central, easily searchable database of zones around the world.

HOWARD 100/101
Not Hot Enough For Network TV
Howard said he'd looked in the mirror yesterday and suffered a kind of crisis: "I can't stand it that I don't look like [John] Stamos or Rob Lowe or Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt. It's just not right. I deserve to look at least somewhat human. George, be honest--no gay man's attracted to me." George answered generously: "You're certainly not George Clooney. But you are you. And you are an attractive man. It's not ugly. It's you." Howard didn't buy it: "I think Steve Buscemi is better looking than me." Just yesterday, he watched a HowardTV clip and felt for the 'AGT' target audience: "I'm assuming Howie [Mandel]'s coming back--although I haven't spoken to him--but if he doesn't, they should just get a really hot guy on there. That's what these broads want to see anyway. It's mostly women that watch these shows."

Judge upholds law allowing Great Lakes oil pipeline tunnel
By The Associated Press & Max Johnston • Oct 31, 2019

A Michigan judge has handed a victory to a company seeking to build a tunnel that would house a Great Lakes oil pipeline.
Judge Michael Kelly of the Michigan Court of Claims ruled Thursday that the state Legislature did not violate the Michigan Constitution last year by approving a deal between former Republican Gov. Rick Snyder and Enbridge Inc.
The agreement calls for shutting down Enbridge's Line 5 in the Straits of Mackinac, a channel linking Lakes Huron and Michigan. A replacement pipeline would run through a tunnel to be constructed beneath the lake bottom.
Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel contends the 2018 law authorizing the deal was unconstitutional because it went beyond what was reflected in its title.
Kelly disagreed, saying the title adequately reflected the law's intentions.
In a statement, Enbridge praised the court's decision and said it's committed to the tunnel plan.
We are pleased that the Michigan Court of Claims ruled in our favor. We are reviewing the decision and may have further comment.
Enbridge remains fully committed to the Great Lakes Tunnel project.
We continue to believe the tunnel is the best solution for Michigan and that Line 5 can continue to be safely operated during the period while the tunnel is being constructed. And we are committed to build it.
Governor Gretchen Whitmer says she'll appeal the court's decision.

Wisconsin tribe says 'remove Line 5' despite Enbridge offer of $24M
By Kaye LaFond • Oct 10, 2019
Enbridge Energy
A tribe in Northern Wisconsin still wants Line 5 off their land, despite a $24 million offer from Enbridge.
The Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa sued Enbridge Energy earlier this year, asking them to immediately shut down the portion of the Line 5 oil pipeline that runs through their reservation.
What is the condition of the oil pipeline in the Straits of Mackinac? Answers can be hard to find.
By Mark Brush • Oct 7, 2014
Mark Brush / Michigan Radio
A lot of us are curious about the oil pipeline running through the Straits of Mackinac.
Michigan Radio's M I Curious is a news experiment where we investigate questions submitted by the public about our state and its people.
As part of our M I Curious project, Justin Cross asked Michigan Radio this question:
What is the status of the aged Enbridge oil pipeline running through Lake Michigan at the Straits of Mackinac?
Cross says he found out about the Enbridge pipeline in the Straits the same way other people did.
Eighth northern Michigan county passes resolution supporting Enbridge's tunnel

Kaye LaFond / Michigan Radio
Cheboygan County passed a resolution to support Enbridge's construction of a tunnel underneath the Straits of Mackinac at their board meeting Tuesday morning.
Eight counties — Cheboygan, Delta, Dickinson, Houghton, Iron, Gogebic, Grand Traverse and Ontonagon — have now passed nearly identical resolutions.

DOJ/CRT RIN: 1190-AA61 Publication ID: Spring 2013
Title: Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability; Accessibility of Web Information and Services of Public Accommodations
Abstract: The Department of Justice is considering proposed revisions to the regulation implementing title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in order to address the obligations of public accommodations to make goods, services, facilities, privileges, accommodations, or advantages they offer via the Internet, specifically at sites on the World Wide Web (Web), accessible to individuals with disabilities. The ADA requires that public accommodations provide individuals with full and equal enjoyment of their goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations. 42. U.S.C. 12182. The Internet as it is known today did not exist when Congress enacted the ADA. Today the Internet, most notably the sites on the Web, plays a critical role in the daily personal, professional, and business life of most Americans. Increasingly, private entities of all types are providing goods and services to the public through websites that operate as places of public accommodation under title III of the ADA. Many websites of public accommodations, however, render use by individuals with disabilities difficult or impossible due to barriers posed by websites designed without accessible features. Being unable to access websites puts individuals at a great disadvantage in today's society, which is driven by a global marketplace and unprecedented access to information. On the economic front, electronic commerce, or "e-commerce," often offers consumers a wider selection and lower prices than traditional "brick-and-mortar" storefronts, with the added convenience of not having to leave one's home to obtain goods and services. Beyond goods and services, information available on the Internet has become a gateway to education. Schools at all levels are increasingly offering programs and classroom instruction through websites. Many colleges and universities offer degree programs online; some universities exist exclusively on the Internet. The Internet also is changing the way individuals socialize and seek entertainment. Social networks and other online meeting places provide a unique way for individuals to meet and fraternize. These networks allow individuals to meet others with similar interests and connect with friends, business colleagues, elected officials, and businesses. They also provide an effective networking opportunity for entrepreneurs, artists, and others seeking to put their skills and talents to use. Websites also bring a myriad of entertainment and information options for internet users-from games and music to news and videos. The ADA's promise to provide an equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities to participate in and benefit from all aspects of American civic and economic life will be achieved in today's technologically advanced society only if it is clear to businesses, educators, and other public accommodations, that their websites must be accessible. Consequently, the Department is proposing to amend its title III regulation to expressly address the obligations of public accommodations to make the websites they use to provide their goods and services to the public accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities under the legal framework established by the ADA. The proposed regulation will propose the scope of the obligation to provide accessibility when persons with disabilities attempt to access websites of public accommodations, as well as propose the technical standards necessary to comply with the ADA.

C does not necessarily stand for a cold cure
Health Supplement, p. 13
DOES IT WORK?: Vitamin C has been linked with cold prevention but it is more useful for easing physical activity, writes DONÁL O'MATHÚNA
VITAMIN C is often used to prevent and treat the common cold, but has been controversial for many decades. This debate provides a good example of how claims are made about supplements and shows the importance of examining the details. In many situations we would like a "yes" or "no" answer: it works or it doesn't. The vitamin C story reveals that a better answer is, "it all depends."
The Pauling Controversy
This vitamin C debate began with the publication in 1970 of the book, Vitamin C and the Common Cold . The author, Linus Pauling, was one of the most respected scientists of the 20th century, having won the 1954 Nobel Prize in Chemistry and the 1962 Nobel Peace Prize for his work concerning nuclear weapons. Pauling was also a successful teacher and author, effectively communicating complex scientific concepts to the public.
Yet many of his ideas on health promotion and supplements remain controversial.
In his 1970 book, Pauling discussed about 30 studies on vitamin C and the common cold. He also published his findings in professional journals, but focused on only four studies.
Together, these showed that people taking vitamin C got fewer colds than those taking a placebo.
In another article he discussed only the two most beneficial trials and showed that those taking vitamin C recovered more quickly from colds.
Most of the benefits came from one short study conducted with children attending a ski school in the Swiss Alps.
Given Pauling's reputation, and the huge interest in finding a cure for the common cold, several studies of vitamin C were conducted during the 1970s.
Two systematic reviews of these studies concluded that vitamin C did not provide significant benefits. They found that people did not get fewer colds when taking vitamin C and that, on average, a cold lasted a few hours less when taking vitamin C. That seemed to settle the issue medically, yet public interest in vitamin C continued.
What the studies show
Controlled studies continue to be conducted, but with inconsistent results. There have been many developments in the methods used to evaluate and review treatments.
An important realisation is that when people review research, their inherent biases can influence the studies they select and emphasise. Thus, Pauling focused on only four of the 30 studies available to him, yet he never explained why he chose these and not the others.
Reviews published in the 1970s and 1980s focused on studies with less beneficial results, but did not explain their selection process. Such an approach increases the risk of reviewers finding the results they wanted in the first place.
The best way to review the research is to look for all the studies conducted on a topic. Such a review is freely available in Ireland at http://www.TheCochraneLibrary.com. This found 56 individual studies in which vitamin C was compared with a placebo.
Most studies used doses of between 200mg a day and 2g a day. They had a range of results, but several patterns appeared in the details.
In everyday circumstances, taking vitamin C on an ongoing basis does not lead to fewer colds. The one exception is when taken immediately before severe physical stress. Six studies involving skiers, soldiers in sub-arctic conditions or marathon runners found that taking up to 1g of vitamin C a day reduced the incidence of colds by half.
Ongoing use of vitamin C did have some benefits when people got a cold. In general, the colds were 8 per cent shorter for adults and 14 per cent shorter for children. This would mean that, over an average year, an adult would have symptoms for one day less and a child for four days less. Whether this would be worth the cost of using supplements continuously is questionable.
Several studies have tested people taking 1-3g of vitamin C a day as soon as cold symptoms begin. While a few studies had beneficial results, the majority did not and on average the results showed no benefits.
Vitamin C is safe to take, but large doses can lead to some intestinal problems. By the end of his life, Pauling said that he took 18g of vitamin C a day, increasing to 40g a day when he felt a cold starting. While such large doses may not have harmed him, it is questionable whether they did him much good.
There is clear evidence of benefits from taking 1-2g a day in the weeks before major physical exertion, such as a skiing trip or marathon.
Long-term supplementation may slightly reduce the severity of a cold when you get one, but it won't reduce how many colds you get.
Children benefit more this way than adults. Once you get a cold, extra vitamin C appears to be of little benefit. Most people get enough vitamin C by eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially citrus fruits, green vegetables and peppers.

If a new P.G. does not expect to use a physical ink or embossed seal in the P.G.'s professional practice (he or she expects to place an electronically generated seal on all documents that require a seal and physically sign the document), he or she may choose to meet the requirement of submitting a seal to the TBPG by generating an electronic seal and printing it on the appropriate P.G. Seal Submission Form (Form X-PG Seal Submission) in the appropriate place. If a new P.G. does plan to purchase an ink stamp (or an embosser), then the new P.G. should use the ink stamp/embosser to provide the seal to the TBPG on Form X.
A P.G. may use any vendor to produce a physical seal. A vendor who provides this service may be located by online searches. Also, most major office supply chains perform this service.
TBPG recommends that ink seals be purchased in lieu of embossed seals because they are easier to decipher and unlike embossed seals, will be easily visible on a copy made of a sealed document.
The TBPG guidance for use and application of the P.G. Seal states that distributing published geoscientific data to the public does not necessarily require a seal on the work product. What is considered "published geoscientific data"?
What reports must be sealed?
Unless exempted by TOC 1002.252, all geoscientific reports required by municipal or county ordinance, state or federal law, state agency rule, or federal regulation, and all other reports provided to the public must be sealed.
What documents, drawings, etc. within a report must be sealed?
TAC §851.156(l): The Professional Geoscientist shall sign, seal and date the original title sheet or signature page of geoscience documents, specifications, details, calculations or estimates, and each sheet of maps, drawings, cross sections or other figures representing geoscientific services carried out under the supervision of the geoscientist regardless of size or binding. All unbound geoscience documents, including but not limited to research reports, opinions, recommendations, evaluations, addenda, and geoscience software shall bear the Professional Geoscientist's printed name, date, signature and the designation "P.G." or other terms allowed under §1002.251 of the Act, unless the geoscience service is exempt under §1002.252 of the Texas Occupations Code. Electronic correspondence of this type shall include an electronic signature as described in subsection (f) of this section or be followed by a hard copy containing the Professional Geoscientist's printed name, date, signature and the designation "P.G." or other terms allowed under §1002.251 of the Act.
Must all pages of forms used for reporting information to state agencies be sealed and signed?
In order to comply with TBPG rules, a P.G. must seal in accordance with TAC §851.156 (k) and §851.156 (l) (see the FAQ response above). However, a P.G. must also seal documents in compliance with governmental agency rules, when such are more stringent than TBPG's rules.
If geology is added to a base map prepared by others must the map be sealed?
Yes. However, it is recommended that the source of the base map be made clear and the additions made clear in a note added to the map in the vicinity of the placement of the seal.
Must boring logs contain a seal and a signature?
Yes, if the boring log is prepared by a Professional Geoscientist.
Can a certification page be used that lists each of the people that were significantly involved in a project along with their areas of responsibility to identify the persons sealing a document?
Do Phase I, II, or III Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) require a seal?
The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has published standards for Environmental Site Assessments. Often, reports generated by industry professionals are generated that do not fully meet the definition of ASTM's guidelines for the type of Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I, II, or III) that the report is labeled to be. For example, a firm may call an environmental site assessment a "limited Phase II ESA." A Phase II ESA that is completed fully in compliance with ASTM Guidelines does involve an assessment or interpretation of the subsurface (which is the public practice of geoscience). If a report is generated called a ""limited Phase II ESA" and the report is "limited" in that it does not involve an assessment of or the interpretation of the subsurface, then the report would not be required to be sealed.
By the same token, if a report is called a "Phase I ESA," but the report does involve an assessment of or the interpretation of the subsurface, then the report must be sealed.
In general, all geoscience reports or any other reports containing new or original geoscience must be sealed unless otherwise exempt under Sec. 1002.252 of the Act. Anyone that reports geoscience information taken from the literature should reference the source for any geoscience reported.
Is a license as a Professional Geoscientist required for a Groundwater Conservation District employee to take responsible charge of a groundwater availability report that is required by state law?


Annoyed at Android media players in general I've written my own. The point? To be able to play long running audio files like university lectures or audio books. Available for free in the Apps -> Books and Reference section on Android market (or if you're technically inclined, download the apk yourself).
* customise these features as you desire.
* never see your music again! If you want to just see (eg) lectures, you can filter out your music tracks.
* some "application taking too long to respond messages". Hard to diagnose.
* this is a player only. You need to get your media onto your phone first.
Microsoft Word has a somewhat repugnant feature called "comments". The concept of comments is not so bad, but the implementation in Word is definitely annoying. Why? Because to read the comments you basically need to be in Word with the document open and either use their awful "bubble" interface to read the comments (where the comments are shown in the margin), hover your pointer over the (nearly imperceptible) comment markers () or open up the comment pane at the bottom.
The upshot is that printing the doc and reading it in a more comfortable setting is a no no. If you *do* print it out, the comments are unhelpfully located right at the end of the document so you need to back-and-forth from the text to the comments.
So I wrote myself a short script to inline those damnable comments (GPLv3). It requires the command line and is written in Python. If there is a modicum of interest it wouldn't be much trouble to write a simple GUI frontend.
Be warned – the quid pro quo for doing this is you lose a lot of your formatting :( Try using Word's compare to see the markup between the original.doc and outfile.txt to show the comments.
Lauren Weinstein reports on a new feature of an update to Windows 7 (apparently called KB971033?), which continually checks (once every 90 days) to see whether the installation is authorised/activated/validly licensed. Some sites have discussed this and made something of the fact that it is voluntary to install, and/or checks to see that the installation is valid even if it has verified the copy as valid and even if the copy has already been authorised.
I tend to think this has not so much to do with piracy per se as solving a couple of Microsoft's other problems. The first is the lumpiness of Microsoft's revenue. It gets a heap of extra revenue when it releases new versions of whatever. Microsoft has tried to overcome this by its assurance programs, in which users are asked to sign on to a subscription program. However, ultimately the subscription programs are dependent upon Microsoft actually releasing new versions from time to time (what a drag!).
The second is the problem of proving losses. If you make an illegal copy of a Microsoft product and then buy a legitimate copy (or as many legitimate copies as illegal copies you have made), exactly what has Microsoft lost? Microsoft, for example, gets the same amount of money, it just gets it at a different time. This is because there is no tying of the license to a particular period of time. If a person made an illegal copy of Windows98 (say) 10 years ago and buys a legitimate copy today (yes, I know that may not be possible in fact) it is hard to see what Microsoft has actually lost, except the time value of money over the past 10 years (this, unfortunately, might lead to 'gaming' of the system, where a person makes illegitimate copies until they are caught, then buys legitimate copies to cover their nefarious activity). Note: There is nothing specific about Microsoft to this argument, it applies generally to software licenses which are not limited in time.
Both of these problems are solved by tying. Microsoft began tying a long time ago by tying copies to specific hardware. This is what the authentication stickers are all about. Their purpose is not to prevent piracy. Rather, their purpose is to prevent a legitimate purchaser moving a particular copy from one computer to another. If they can't move the copy then, the theory goes, they must buy a new copy. Moreover, by withdrawing product from the market, Microsoft can force upgrades to new versions of Windows. If someone could take their legitimate copy of Windows XP from their old computer (and wiping the old computer and loading it with Linux) and load it onto their new computer, would they have bought Vista?
The next form of tying is to time. The point of having the check being performed once every 90 days is to allow for the prospect of quarterly licensing. You pay a fee each quarter in order to have continued access to your data. The 90 day phone home is just the latest piece in the puzzle. Others are things such as the time limited trial installations of office that OEMs force onto people. In a year or two you will no doubt see Microsoft offering (initially) optional, low priced time limited licenses, with a view to moving the market over to the new licensing scheme over time. Time limited licensing may also alleviate (although maybe not solve?) a problem that Microsoft faces with the Netbook form factor – that is, it is too expensive to pay any significant amount for a windows licence on a $300 (or cheaper) machine. However, if you have a time based license, the first three (or six) months might be given away free or charged at a low amount. This would allow hardware manufacturers to legitimately sell Windows loaded machines at the same price point as a Linux loaded alternative.
Received an email from the SFLC today. It seems that Best Buy, Samsung, Westinghouse, JVC and Western Digital are all defendants to a busybox based lawsuit initiated through the SFLC. Complaint is here.
Pyrrhus of Epirus, quoted by Plutarch in Life of Pyrrhus.
About 18 months ago a silver (actually white) bullet known as the eeePC running Linux appeared. They were literally sold out immediately (example story) – despite the fact that they were pre-loaded with Linux, and well before the onset of austerity from the financial crisis. Within 2 or 3 months a version of the eeePC running Windows XP was announced, first shipping in early (perhaps Jan??) 2008. At about the six-eight month mark (give or take) people were happy to report the form factor being sold at 70-30% in favour of Linux (google it or see Brendan Leblanc's claim of "under 10%" in the first half of 2008).
Microsoft's reaction to the success of the eeePC seems, on reflection, to have been well and professionally executed. Indeed, now that the specifications have been upscaled, Microsoft has announced an intention to increase the licensing fees for this form factor. That leaves open to question however, how the eeePC was able to be released sans Windows in the first place. It is difficult to believe that Microsoft had no knowledge of it. If they did have knowledge, they certainly could have struck a deal over it (as the fact that they subsequently struck such a deal demonstrates). They presumably chose not to strike such a deal. Only ASUS and Microsoft really know what happened, but it does not seem wildly outside the evidence available to speculate that ASUS was initially rebuffed by Microsoft and then has had Microsoft approach them cap in hand.
– and that is the crux of it. In 2007-08 ASUS appears to have achieved what no other computer manufacturer has managed to do in perhaps over 20 years – it dictated the terms of supply of Microsoft's products, both in terms of price and availability (XP's sales availability was either ended or imminently to end). Given the position of Microsoft this, of itself, is a remarkable achievement. However ASUS' achievement was even more far reaching. Not only do they appear to have dictated terms, but the terms were, in effect, that XP be sold both as a commodity and as a complement to the eeePC. Commoditising your complements is the holy grail of business. It allows you to extract the most value/price premium from the sale of your products.
Far from showing strength, the wide availability of Windows on netbooks is a sign of weakness.
The eeePC was the proof of concept for a Linux based future. There is something incredibly powerful about achieving an apparently unachievable goal. Until something has been shown to be achievable, only the very brave or committed will even attempt it. However, once something has been shown to be possible, many people suddenly become willing to attempt it, and with more people attempting it, each new comer learns faster from the experiences of others. Consider the history of scaling Everest, with some 30 years from the first attempt in 1922 to Hillary and Tenzing's first successful ascent in 1953, the time since has been peppered with many additional ascents, including ascents under different conditions such as an ascent without supplementary oxygen, which was once thought too difficult.
It should therefore not be much of a surprise that many companies are now making strategic investments in Linux (reload the link if you don't get there on the first attempt). Some companies (such as Dell, Acer and HP) are expressly supporting Linux as a desktop operating system.
Nothing here should be taken as indicating backruptcy any time soon (- or ever!), or that there is imminent danger of Microsoft ceasing its participation in the IT sector. It's involvement is broad and deep and will not fade for a long time. General Electric, for example, continues to live on after having diversified into many different areas over the past 100 years (Wikipedia claims that half of its revenue now comes from financial services). Rather, it seems that the days of Microsoft-as-we-knew-it, the corporation which could dictate, at least to some non-trivial extent, many aspects of the IT industry through its leverage over OEMs are over. Microsoft cannot afford for an OEM to stare them down on the next eeePC – another Linux based success on the scale of the eeePC would remove any doubt from the minds of the industry.
If this assessment is correct, we would expect to see other industry participants investing in open source, and in Linux in particular, as both a hedge and as negotiating leverage. Indeed, assuming that ASUS has extracted concessions from Microsoft, other OEMs will be disadvantaged if they do not follow a similar strategy (see this story on Acer's proposed support of Linux for example). Loading Linux now appears to be a path to strength. Google is pursuing it.
The eeePC experience was the case study for the viability of a Linux based future. If ASUS has used the Linux eeePC to extract negotiating concessions from Microsoft, then it has, in the process, also undermined Microsoft's credibility, opening the way for other vendors to play into this gap. Further, if ASUS has secured concessions then other vendors who do not pursue an aggressive Linux strategy will put themselves at a disadvantage. There is therefore an internal logic to the market which will drive support for Linux installations going forward.
I've not been able to pinpoint the initial launch date for the eeePC, although it seems to be 16 October 2007.
Many secondary documents had to be referred to because primary documents were updated, losing the time relevant information.
The Windows versions of the eeePC were curiously configured in such a way that there was no direct comparison between Linux and Windows versions. This was also true of some Acer models. Dell now seems to offer direct comparison (eg lattitude 2100).
James Love has published some details about the current ACTA negotiations. Copyright ideologues have been (successfully) pushing for extreme legislation for several years. Each time new legislation is passed, it is only a stepping stone towards even more extreme legislation. Any reasonable person picked up from the 70s and dropped in the 00s would be stunned by how completely copyright ideology has infected the legislative process. Indeed, by germinating in international fora, it subverts the process. Copyright ideologues use international treaties to enforce or extend domestic legislation, bypassing local legislatures and then requiring them to enact the provisions. Any time anyone objects about the disparity between the ideology and reality, they are slapped down with "International Obligations".
Criminal sanctions for copyright infringement have always been tied to infringement for the purpose of sale of the infringing article. This provides an understandable ground rule for determining what is and what is not criminal (ie "was this copy made for the purpose of sale?"). These new provisions would convert any infringing activity into a crime based (apparently) on the number of times it has occurred. Exactly what will constitute "commercial scale" is anyone's guess. However, is it unreasonable to assume that any copies beyond what is absolutely necessary for a person's own use, with no allowance for ordinary convenience will be liable to being classified as being of a commercial scale? If you make a copy for the bedroom and a copy for the car, will you be skirting "commercial scale"?
Imagine other crimes in this mold: watching Hollywood movies -> not a crime; watching Hollywood movies "too much" -> crime. One might object that watching movies is not itself actionable (not yet, anyway). This doesn't affect the argument. For example, consider the crime: breaching your loan/other contract -> not a crime; breaching your loan/other contract "too much" -> crime. Imagine how many former homeowners would now be in the slammer?
What is unstated here is that a likely consequence of this is that in practice the crime will be one of strict liability. Normally actions are not themselves criminal unless they are accompanied by the requisite intent – and conversely having the requisite intent will not normally be a crime in the absence of some prohibited action (in Latin actus reus non facit reum nisi mens sit rea). However, the only action constituting the crime here will be the making of a certain number of copies (willfully – see above). Intention will resolve to whether or not the person meant to make those copies, or whether it was some sort of accident.
(d) the infringement or infringements occur on a commercial scale.
(d) the infringement or infringements occur on a commercial scale and the person is negligent as to that fact.
If you are corporate counsel and you are not gobsmacked by this section, you probably haven't read it properly. This provision seems to imply you can go to jail if you're negligent when you give advice on whether some activity infringes copyright. If you are the manager of the production line of an embedded device and aren't gobsmacked, you probably haven't read it properly. It seems to imply you'll go to jail if you're negligent in implementing the licensing contract that your company signed. If you're any kind of manager involved in the reproduction of anything, you should be gobsmacked (wherever you are, but particularly if you're in Australia).
Indeed, the AUSFTA has exactly the provisions necessary to remove any meaning from "willful" (see section 17.11.4 here). If anyone wants to know what will be in ACTA and how it will be expected to be implemented in local legislation, just look at Chapter 17 of the AUSFTA and, of course, our Copyright Act.
The world is currently racked by the Global Financial Crisis primarily because the banking sector allowed theory and ideology to obscure common sense. The ACTA suffers from the same problem of ideology displacing reality.
 How you can remove the monetary incentive of an infringer who has "no direct or indirect motivation of financial gain" is something of a mystery. It simply demonstrates how ideology rather than common sense is the motivating factor here.
 During the negotiations in late 2006(?) on Australia's final implementation of the AUSFTA the question of region locking was canvassed during the [senate(?)] hearings. The argument was that if region locking was prohibited, then Australians would be restricted from playing DVDs they had purchased overseas. The response from "the industry" was that if Australians wanted to do this they could buy a separate DVD player for each region code. As these negotiations have shifted into the realm of ideology any application of common sense appears quite inappropriate.
 Indeed, it is a a safe bet that the ACTA will criminalise the making of the copies even if you destroy them immediately afterwards – something that anyone providing any sort of proxying service would be well advised to keep in mind. There is an ideology at stake here don't you know.
(ii) wilful infringements for the purposes of commercial advantage or financial gain.

Every year 91,000 people are diagnosed with cancer. That is nearly 11 per hour ... and that's too much. Millions of people share a dream: a world where cancer is no longer a fatal disease. What would it be nice if this dream comes true. Worldwide, scientists are working to this day. They do this as fast as they can. As fast as they are enabled to do so. KWF is working hard at more and better research. And Datema makes a small contribution.
As a 'KWF Zakenvriend' Datema supports cancer research. With a fixed monthly amount for research and development of KWF-fellows. Doing so will help talented young researchers to gain experience in cancer research and/or specialist treatment of cancer. These talents in cancer research appear to be a very good investment: many former fellows now hold top positions in cancer research.


Can anything travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum?
No, or at least it's presently thought that this would be impossible. It's interesting, though, that there have been a couple of experiments in recent years which have observed particles called neutrinos moving faster than the speed of light. Even the scientists who carried out these experiments questioned the results, however, and they encouraged others to try to confirm their results or to find where a mistake might have been made in their measurements. In the end, they did find out that these results were caused by a mistake; there was a loose electrical cable that caused enough error to invalidate the results.

Thursday was Kate Middleton's last public engagement before the birth of royal baby No. 3. Wearing a beige coat by Goat, the duchess arrived with Prince William at Chobham Academy in Stratford, London, and later, to Copper Box Arena for a Team SportsAid event.
This outing celebrated the 2018 Commonwealth Games, about a month before they are set to take place in the Gold Coast of Australia. And things got competitive for the duke and duchess on this last special outing. Prince William shot a basket from a wheelchair, and, per video evidence, he scored as players around him cheered.

Later, Kate and William also played a Commonwealth Quiz. Kate, who has claimed to be less "sporty" since having babies but often proves herself wrong, appeared to get into the spirit of the competition with her team.
Per the Daily Mail's Rebecca English, the day continued with cooking and tea at charity St. Luke's Trust.
The Commonwealth Games will begin on April 4 and end April 15, just about a month before all of England turns its eyes to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding.

Clear your mind and breathe evenly; allow yourself to focus entirely on your body.
To pull off a handstand, which is rewarding both mentally and physically, you need a combination of patience, practice and fearlessness. This challenging feat, a staple of both gymnastic and yoga practices, builds upper body strength, hones your balance, strengthens your bones and may even improve your circulation and respiration. To reap these benefits, however, you must practice proper form, and proper form relies on a straight-backed posture.
From the handstand position, press your hands into the ground. Pull your rib cage toward your thighs, and engage your shoulder blades so your shoulders are away from your ears. Lift your tailbone toward the ceiling, and feel the transfer of energy as it gently elongates the vertebrae of your spine. This will straighten your back, preventing an over-arched back.
Pull your belly button in toward your spine to encourage core stability, which helps prevent slouching during your handstand. Keep your abdominal muscles engaged throughout.
Keep your neck long and straight, in alignment with your spine. Don't bend your neck so that you're looking at the floor – keep your eyes focused on a spot that keeps your neck an lengthened extension of your spine. Bending your neck so that your head sticks out leads to an arched spine, and could cause injury.
Afraid of falling? Try a handstand against the wall. Your fingertips should be about an inch or two away from the wall, and when up, place your heels against the wall. Keep your feet together and slide your heels up the wall to elongate and straighten your back. Graduate to an assisted handstand, with a partner holding you in place by gently grasping your thighs. Once you're comfortable performing the pose with a straight back, move on to a non-assisted full handstand.
Practice your handstand pose while standing up to perfect your posture.
Focus on a sense of looseness and buoyancy in your handstand. Warm up with shoulder circles and bounce on your heels to encourage this feeling. While your back remains straight, your joints should not be locked or rigid.
Practice planks without sagging your hips or slouching your shoulders. This exercise strengthens your core and helps your body get used to bearing weight, both of which improve your handstand form.
Always do handstands on padded surface.
As a beginner, perform handstands under the guidance of a certified yoga or gymnastics teacher or coach. Consult your doctor before entering this pose if you have joint-related issues in the wrists, elbows or shoulders.

2. I said in, "Staying at the top," that a jeepney is like a taxi. But I was wrong. A jeepney is not like a taxi, a jeepney is more like a bus because it makes several stops and carries lots of people. A tricycle is more like a taxi, because it costs more and it is private transportation. I agreed. The correction was warranted.
3. An adaptor is different than a converter. In the entry, "RIP 360" I wrote about the bad adaptor, I should have said converter.

Gallen: Put The 'If Onlys' To Bed
Assistant manager on Accrington test and play-off preparations
Photo: Joe Pepler/PinPep
by Neil Weld
@Neil_Weld
Plenty of supporters were left thinking about what might have been following a dramatic defeat to Peterborough earlier in the week.
The result meant that Pompey can no longer catch Luton or Barnsley to secure an automatic promotion spot.
But there is still plenty at stake, with the play-offs coming up following Saturday's final regular fixture against Accrington.
And Joe Gallen wants the Blues to be at their best to make sure they finish third in the League One standings.
Pompey's assistant manager said: "There was a lot of disappointment on Tuesday night, but it's fair to say we're back to normal and getting ready for Saturday.
"I think we have to put 'if only' to bed – automatic promotion isn't going to happen, but we're in the play-offs and want to finish as high as possible.
"Third is the best we can do, so that's what we want to achieve. There is an opportunity to freshen the side up, but only if that gives us a better chance of winning.
"Third is the best we can do, so that's what we want to achieve."
Joe Gallen
"It's not just about getting the game out of the way. We want to win it in front of a sell-out crowd at Fratton Park.
"Accrington have got very good technical footballers in their side and that makes them dangerous opponents."
This weekend's results will determine whether Pompey take on Sunderland, Charlton, Doncaster or Peterborough over two legs.
Gallen said: "The play-offs are exciting and there are always big atmospheres, but whoever we end up facing will be a very good side.
"I feel too much can be made of who you want to play. Come the day of the first game, I don't think too many will want to face us."
Viv Solomon-Otabor had a goal disallowed on Tuesday night after drifting into an offside position, but Gallen has backed the on-loan winger.
He said: "I still felt he made a really good impact when he came on and we're delighted to have him back again.
"We really rate Viv as a player and he performed well before his injury. He can take players on and has a lot of ability."
Pompey are close to having a full-strength squad to choose from, with Jack Whatmough the only absentee.
Gallen said: "Everyone who was fit on Tuesday night is still available and there's nobody who has picked up an injury since."

So much medieval art has been lost since the mid 16th century, here I look at some wonderful visual evidence of a lost rood screen from Norfolk.
Rogier van der Weyden's Seven Sacraments is an extraordinary painting. In this post I explore the depictions of the Mass within and what it might say about the lay experience of the Eucharist in medieval Europe.
Not all medieval church textiles were made of rich and costly materials. This article looks at the stained or painted linen cloths, their use in church context, their production and a few surviving examples.

The Guardians of Morality
In this series of articles I write about the forced enforcement of religious laws.
Inscription on the Vidhana Soudha in Bangalore
Here are a few stories that have a common thread running through them.
Two teenage girls, their mother and maternal aunts were shot and buried while still breathing- their crime? The girls wished to marry persons of their choice- their mother and aunt supported them.
A married woman in her twenties was shot dead after being pulled out of her lawyer's office; the lawyer was also shot at but had a providential escape. Reason- the victim had gone to consult the lawyer about divorcing her husband who was inflicting cruelty on her. The only eye witness to her murder by her husbands people was her mother, who later testified that she had seen or heard nothing. The dead woman's father justified his daughter's murder on the grounds of family honor!
A married woman was escorted by her friend's son nearly half her age. That was construed of as spending time with an alien man. The punishment? The boy's sisters were raped by the woman's husband and his brothers.
Genital mutilation is carried out on many pre-pubertal Muslim girls in some African countries to prevent them from "enjoying sex"! Since it is forbidden in all civilized countries some parents try to take their girls back to the home country where it can be performed.
A couple was ordered to be separated by the village panchayat. The reason? According to some religious rule they were of the same gothra and hence were considered as brother and sister and hence their marriage amounts to incest.
A girl commits suicide after she was harassed by a local "sena", for speaking to a neighbor belonging to another community. Her pleas that he was twice her age and had got her a job fell on deaf ears.
An auto rickshaw driver was assaulted with deadly weapons because he was transporting a woman belonging to another community, late at night. Her pleas that she was being taken to a hospital in an emergency were ignored.
A boy and a girl belonging to different minority communities were traveling together. They were attacked by a boy belonging to the girl's community, supported by a local sena whose members belonged to the majority community!
Each of these incidents has one thing in common- the treatment of women as a commodity. The constitution of India, it being a secular democratic republic, guarantees fundamental rights to all the citizens. We have the right to follow a religion of our choice, or to not have one. The right to marry a person of any community (though same sex marriages are not allowed!). The right to live with any person with whom we may choose to live, whether married to that person or not. These rights do exist on paper and for those who can afford the due process of law. But, according to the various Senas and Dals belonging to various religions, the constitution of India has been suspended in our district.

similar is the case with homosexuality. the government, or rather the ministry for home, in its argument to the supreme court as to why homosexuality should remain illegal is quoted as saying "legalising homosexuality would open the flood gates of delinquency". this when even a country like nepal has legalised homosexuality, and britain, which gave us the law, repealed it in 1967.

Daily Torah Reading
Deuteronomy 22:8-23:7
When you build a new house, you shall make a parapet for your roof, so that you do not bring bloodguilt on your house if anyone should fall from it. You shall not sow your vineyard with a second kind of seed, else the crop--from the seed you have sown--and the yield of the vineyard may not be used. You shall not plow with an ox and an ass together. You shall not wear cloth combining wool and linen. You shall make tassels on the four corners of the garment with which you cover yourself. A man marries a woman and cohabits with her. Then he takes an aversion to her and makes up charges against her and defames her, saying, "I married this woman; but when I approached her, I found that she was not a virgin." In such a case, the girl's father and mother shall produce the evidence of the girl's virginity before the elders of the town at the gate. And the girl's father shall say to the elders, "I gave this man my daughter to wife, but he has taken an aversion to her; so he has made up charges, saying, 'I did not find your daughter a virgin.' But here is the evidence of my daughter's virginity!" And they shall spread out the cloth before the elders of the town. The elders of that town shall then take the man and flog him, and they shall fine him a hundred [shekels of] silver and give it to the girl's father; for the man has defamed a virgin in Israel. Moreover, she shall remain his wife; he shall never have the right to divorce her. But if the charge proves true, the girl was found not to have been a virgin, then the girl shall be brought out to the entrance of her father's house, and the men of her town shall stone her to death; for she did a shameful thing in Israel, committing fornication while under her father's authority. Thus you will sweep away evil from your midst. If a man is found lying with another man's wife, both of them--the man and the woman with whom he lay--shall die. Thus you will sweep away evil from Israel. In the case of a virgin who is engaged to a man--if a man comes upon her in town and lies with her, you shall take the two of them out to the gate of that town and stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry for help in the town, and the man because he violated another man's wife. Thus you will sweep away evil from your midst. But if the man comes upon the engaged girl in the open country, and the man lies with her by force, only the man who lay with her shall die, but you shall do nothing to the girl. The girl did not incur the death penalty, for this case is like that of a man attacking another and murdering him. He came upon her in the open; though the engaged girl cried for help, there was no one to save her. If a man comes upon a virgin who is not engaged and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are discovered, the man who lay with her shall pay the girl's father fifty [shekels of] silver, and she shall be his wife. Because he has violated her, he can never have the right to divorce her. No man shall marry his father's former wife, so as to remove his father's garment. No one whose testes are crushed or whose member is cut off shall be admitted into the congregation of the Lord. No one misbegotten shall be admitted into the congregation of the Lord; none of his descendants, even in the tenth generation, shall be admitted into the congregation of the Lord. No Ammonite or Moabite shall be admitted into the congregation of the Lord; none of their descendants, even in the tenth generation, shall ever be admitted into the congregation of the Lord, because they did not meet you with food and water on your journey after you left Egypt, and because they hired Balaam son of Beor, from Pethor of Aram- naharaim, to curse you. But the Lord your God refused to heed Balaam; instead, the Lord your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, for the Lord your God loves you. You shall never concern yourself with their welfare or benefit as long as you live.

It takes time and a lot of dedication and hundreds of working hours to create that perfect ride that would get the appreciation it deserves, and Vorsteiner is that aftermarket shop that recreates one of the most imposing models in the world.
Even if we have seen tens and tens of M2 Coupes being customized beyond recognition, there are some of them which can`t go unnoticed. And one of those special is no other than the Vorsteiner`s new project, first unveiled in some teasers a couple of days ago.
Now, the technicians from Vorsteiner are back into the spotlights with their almost finished BMW M2 Coupe, the model popping up in new teasers showcasing its rear end. Since we are looking at a new batch of photos, that indicates that the work is still in progress, the tuner presuming fine-tuning the car`s performance.
Vorsteiner is well-known for creating nice and clean aero kit for BMW products, without affecting their personality and original looks, and the mods added on their bodies shape their lines to perfection.
Besides the new front with the freshly added spoiler lip, side skirts, the rear end also comes with new styling elements, like bespoke diffuser and a new rear wing, in this case, is displayed just one of the many options.
The teaser images also let us suggest that there will also be a nice tail spoiler mounted at the rear, or perhaps a massive racing wing which could depict a power boost, as well or the presence of an upcoming vented bonnet. With Vorsteiner, we have learned that the possibilities are unlimited. We should also expect fresh wheels followed by some new interior tweaks.

The Tea Party Express came into existence as the tea party movement was awakened by the famous Rick Santelli rant that swept across the country in February of 2009. This power and influence could not be ignored by the political establishment as the grassroots movement exploded onto the scene. Now, after nine national bus tours and several regional tours that hosted over 500 rallies, the Tea Party Express has become nationally recognized for making a difference in critical elections.

Hi, I'm in London to work with the lovely Liv Tyler, and in the airport I got the classic Nuxe Dry Oil Huile Prodigieuse Shimmer (in the smaller 50ml size which is smart when I travel but not a money saver) a golden shimmer oil from French beauty brand Nuxe.
Although it's been around like for ever, I think this still is the number one shimmer oil for a radiant golden glow, perfect for summer nights to enhance your tan and moisturize sun kissed skin. It is made from six kinds of nurishing oils; macadamia, hazelnut, borage, sweet almond, camellia and St John's wort and with over 98% natural origin ingredients, it is also free from chemicals, preservatives or minerals.
The oil is quickly absorbed so you don't feel sticky after applying it and you can also use it on your cheek bones and in your hair (just a tiny amount for shine and golden glow) It has quite a bit of scent to it, I happen to like because it reminds me of my tropical holidays in Vietnam, the key notes orange blossoms, light florals, coconut milk and vanilla. It is pretty much a must-have on every woman's summer beauty shelve.
You can get Nuxe Dry Oil Huile Prodigieuse Shimmer here.

In a famous segment some years ago, Jay Leno went to an LA-area shopping mall and watched for drivers getting into large 4×4 SUV's. He then interviewed them about the off-road features of their vehicles. To no one's surprise, most of the suburban moms and dads he encountered knew nothing about their all-terrain capabilities, and nearly none had ever utilized them. Most of those powerful vehicles never left the asphalt, but the status attached to owning one had drawn those drivers to them, and dealers had happily obliged.
But that's California. Shift the scene to Texas. If Jay had stood outside, say, a Toyota dealership in Arlington, he'd have gotten earfuls of very definite opinions about why the 4Runner is better than any of a dozen other models on the lot, along with a bounce-by-bounce description of their latest hair-raising off-road adventure. Throw in a winter like the 2013-2014 edition and you'll hear snow and ice tales–even in Texas.
Toyota has made an interesting migration through the US market over the last fifty years or so, and during that time has experienced a metamorphosis that has taken it from the king of the commuters to the king of the backwoods. That trip through the American market has been an interesting road of its own.
Given the face of Toyota as of the late 1970's, it's surprising to hear the name mentioned in a context of off-road use. At that time, the company was best known for its already-venerable Corolla and was broadly considered the flagship firm of a resurgent Japanese manufacturing economy. Toyota was churning out affordable, efficient vehicles with great durability. Ever-growing numbers of Toyota cars and small trucks traversed the Pacific Ocean for American dealerships, a growth that has continued to this day.
Then there was a shift in the US market. Brutal winters in 1977 and 1978 locked most of the US in a snow-piled deep freeze, sending car buyers to the market in a frenetic search for four-wheel-drive vehicles. American manufacturers moved thousands of units, and Toyota soon saw the market could now be profitable for them as well.
In time, a full range of Toyota 4×4's–from small pickups to the most versatile SUV's–hit American streets, ready to conquer everything from six inches of snow to hub-deep mud–or the daily commute. By the time more epic weather arrived, specifically the winters of 1993 and 1994, you were as likely to see a Toyota pawing through the accumulation as a domestic. Even rocky Lone Star hunting expedition was as likely to be undertaken in a Toyota as in any other builder.
As was the inclination of the ambitious Toyota business model, simply fielding a vehicle wasn't enough. The firm established its renowned Toyota Racing Development wing as a means of creating a brand for the company as a leader in the off-road field. The resulting off-road packages carved out a niche for drivers seeking cutting-edge 4×4 technology, a specialty far different from those early four-cylinder gas sippers.


ROAR For Good took home the coveted Technology Startup Award.
ROAR for Good cofounders Anthony Gold and Yasmine Mustafa at last night's Enterprise Awards.
What if everyone took the time to share one Philly success story?
During last night's Enterprise Awards, that was the main prompt from Philadelphia Alliance for Capital and Technologies (PACT) CEO Dean Miller, who emceed the 24th edition of the ceremony last night at the Pennsylvania Convention Center before a crowd of 900. Miller listed, in his opening speech, Philly tech successes like that of Sidecar (which just raised $11 million) and the up and coming LIA Diagnostics as signs of growth in the ecosystem.
Though this year the ceremony skewed a bit towards large, B2B tech companies in the suburbs, smaller companies from the Center City/University City corridor like ROAR for Good and Blackfynn also landed trophies.
The evening was capped by a tribute to investor Richard Vague of Gabriel Investments, who received the Legend Award for Lifetime Achievement. In his speech, the famed investor praised the tech growth the city has been experiencing of late.

Q: IntelliJ IDEA: authentication required, need to use ssh key I have an extremely strange issue. I reinstalled my operating system (Kubuntu 14.04), set working environment as it was (at least it seems that I made everything as usual), but when I try to make any request to subversion server, it fails - there is a popup which demands to enter the username and the password. But I can't do that, because I don't know the password. I know login and have private key and that's enough for console client.
First of all, I configured my console subversion client. I can commit or checkout anything without any passwords.
Then, I can 'browse repository' in IDEA, because there it is possible to specify private key.
What I tried:
1) Cleared auth cache in  IDEA (several times)
2) Tried to configure connection in IDEA: settings->version control->network->edit network options.
Nothing helped.
Idea version 13.1.3.
Please, help me, I don't know what to do.
EDIT 1:
I added these lines to ~/.subversion/config:
svnkit.ssh2.key = /home/kirill/.ssh/id_rsa
svnkit.ssh2.username = svn
svnkit.ssh2.port = 22

and restarted computer. It gave no effect :(

A: Well, at least I figured out what to do. I need to launch IDEA from console, not by shortcut. If I do so, there are no problems at all. Still don't understand why it is so, but I finally fixed (sort of) my problem.
UPDATE!!! I found the exact reason!
I had "export SVN_SSH='ssh -q -l svn'" in ~/.bashrc. But I didn't know that this is suitable just for console, so when I launch app from folder it has no effect. I put this variable in /etc/environment, rebooted and everything has worked!

TDS TV recently sponsored the Verona Fest in benefit of the Verona Youth Hockey Program and the local non-profit ice arena, Eagle's Nest. The event featured activities fun for the whole family including games, a skating party, a silent auction, a hockey tournament, plus a 5K run/walk and 1 mile kids run.
TDS TV Verona Fest was a huge success! The total crowd was estimated at over 2,000 people and the youth hockey program netted $5,000 in donations. Those donations will help keep the youth programs running for the upcoming season. In addition, TDS Verona Fest raised roughly $25,000 to support Eagle's Nest Ice Arena, the home rink for local youth hockey events. Those dollars will keep the ice arena running for another year so Verona residents have a place to skate and play.
Hannah, one of the winning runners.
Jarrod, the other winning runner.
