4.4.2022 CHINA 301 LITIGATION UPDATE
Posted on April 4, 2022 by Michelle Robinson
On April 1, 2022, the three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) hearing the challenge to the United States Trade Representative's (USTR) imposition of List 3 and List 4A Section 301 additional duties on certain goods from China (In Re Section 301 Cases, Court No. 21-00052) issued an initial decision on the merits of the case. Slip Op. 22-32, Ct. Int'l Trade. Apr. 1, 2022.
The government had moved to dismiss the case on the grounds that the imposition of the Section 301 duties constituted presidential action that is not subject to judicial review or, alternatively, that the imposition of these duties implicates the political question doctrine, which would also preclude judicial review. The court rejected those arguments, holding that the decision to impose List 3 and List 4A were agency actions subject to the court's review, and that plaintiffs' (i.e., importers who have filed actions in this litigation) claims regarding statutory interpretation and compliance with procedural requirements are well-within the court's authority to review.
On the issue of statutory interpretation, plaintiffs' position is that USTR exceeded its statutory authority by imposing List 3 and List 4A in response to retaliatory actions taken by China following the imposition of the List 1 and List 2 tariffs. Plaintiffs' view is that the statute only permits USTR to impose Section 301 duties in response to the practices that were the subject of the Section 301 Investigation, which centered on China's theft of U.S. intellectual property. On this question, the court found that China's retaliatory actions were linked to the investigated practices. Having found such a link, the CIT ruled that USTR's modification of the original Section 301 duties was within the scope of its statutory authority.
Plaintiffs also argued that USTR failed to follow the procedural requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) when it promulgated List 3 and List 4A. On this issue, the court agreed with plaintiffs. Prior to imposing List 3 and List 4A, USTR received thousands of comments, the vast majority of which opposed the additional tariffs. The court held that USTR had failed to provide an adequate explanation of its decision to impose the additional tariffs or how it considered the comments that it received, and did not explain its decision to remove certain tariff subheadings from the initial versions of List 3 and List 4.
Having found that USTR violated the APA, the CIT remanded List 3 and List 4A to USTR and ordered USTR to provide an explanation of why certain provisions were included on these lists and why others were removed. The court set a deadline of June 30, 2022, for USTR to file an explanation of its actions. The explanation must be limited to the reasons that it took its final action and may not include new or post-hoc reasons. The court declined to vacate List 3 and List 4A ("for now"), pending USTR's filing of further explanations. The parties are to file a joint status report within 14 days of the USTR filing. It is likely that the court will issue another decision after USTR files its report. As we have reported, an appeal of the final CIT decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) is very likely.

currently i'm working an on app for IOS and Android. Its an online game that connects to the server all 3 to 5 sec. If the user closes the app completely (so OnApplicationExit() gets called) the user gets kicked out of the game room.If the user softcloses the app (so OnApplicationPause() gets called) the same result should happen, and i works.
But last time testing it on my IPhone i got the "Low Battery" notification what calls the OnApplicationPause() func. too and kicks the player what shouldnt happen.
How can i solve the problem with the notification? Is there a better alternative than OnApplicationPause()?
OnApplicationPause is filled with exceptions to the rule (read the docs on it). Frankly, it's a bit of a mess. The behavior is platform dependent, which is a warning to me that the message isn't reliable (if it behaves differently by platform, it could very well behave differently in different or future versions of one platform - experience suggests it).
I don't find documentation on a battery low message, but you might experiment by adding an OnApplicationFocus to see if there's a pattern you can recognize. I doubt it, but maybe iOS sends some focus transition you might recognize.
Otherwise, inside OnApplicationPause, read the SystemInfo.batterylevel. You have to make a judgment call here. The level Unity returns is from 0 to 1, which is to say that 0.10 is 10% battery, 0.15 is 15% battery. You have to select a level that makes sense. If at or below some threshold, assume this is a battery low system message, and skip that code which you want to avoid.
As a side note, it is unfortunate, and sometimes you can't avoid it, but when you can you should avoid platform specific behavior even if that means you have leave the play "not" kicked out on all pauses, just so the app behaves well at battery low pause. This seems to me one of those occasions where you have to prioritize overall behavior over that you'd prefer by design, leaving what is most logical. Since the pause behavior is given to you by the device/platform, you can't really stop that. It seems intercepting and interpreting accurately why pause is called does not work in all occasions, so I'd say kicking the player out on pause should not be dependent on why pause is called, since it is going to be unreliable. Checking battery status might help, but you can't be sure if the status happens to be coincident with a player pause.
Okay, thank you! Would be cool if unity added a state for "local notifications" like calls, low battery messages etc.

London Riots
Zaynab Siddiqui, Author
London's grey, unpleasant land had erupted into a fiery storm of resentment, as the downtrodden urban class filled the streets. Mark Duggan had been shot two days earlier and it only took 48 hours before riots spread like wildfire.The brutal murder had caused already high tensions between police and black community to spiral into chaos. I watched as the city that I had loved, and grown up in; crumble around me.
The body of Mark Duggan had not even entered the ground, and protesters had already lined Tottenham's streets. Fresh with the vigour of youth, they marched with purpose and pride. The idea of speaking up against police brutality was a relatively new concept, so when news of the protests entered our living rooms, it shocked the nation. More than anything it shocked me. At the simple age of 11, I asked myself how anyone could ever question the motives of a police officer. How could those who impose the law, be under the law? Although these unanswered questions bothered me, my fleeting mind had more pressing issues. Like when I could start playing tennis again, or when my best friend Sommer would be coming over.
The cracks were beginning to form, and the threads that held the police force together were beginning to break. I was blissfully unaware of all this as I was going through an internal turmoil of preteen angst. That summer I felt alone. My dad and brothers were in India while my mom and I were in England looking after my grandparents. Everyday I would Skype my brothers, which was always a mistake because a deep jealousy would bubble inside me. Servants were waiting on them hand and foot in my grandparents' hotel as they pranced around the valleys of the Himalayas. And although I was skyping them from a comfy house in the nicest part of London, I couldn't help but feel a little resentment at the fun they seemed to be having.
For a while a facade of normality glazed over the suburbs of London. People buried the protests deep in their subconscious. Life continued as normal… or so we thought. It wasn't until late that afternoon that we head that violence had broken out in east London. When we turned on our TVs the images we saw were horrific. Pieces of shattered glass spilled onto the road, as teenages laughing like hyenas ran in and out, yelling obscenities at the police as they sprinted down the street with TVs, clothes and jewlery stuffed under their arms. The whole of Tottenham was covered in thick smoke and fire. Police and street kids had begun to attack each other, forming a huge indistinguishable mass. In the haze of it all some intrepid journalists ran into the Hell on Earth to capture it. When we were done absorbing what we could my grandfather turned off the TV, leaving us all in a state of shock.
A harsh tension had fallen over London in the four days that followed the first outbreak of violence. The streets were filled with deafening silence, and rumors filled that they were coming towards Wimbledon. My mother doubted this because Wimbledon was a primarily white area. She was right, and we all knew the riots wouldn't hit us because the police made it a priority that the predominantly white areas received more protection. It was an unspoken, yet universal truth. The suburbs around us had been destroyed yet we stayed in a bubble of security. People walked to the stores in haste, before the sun set. Storefronts were boarded up and police patrolled every corner and watched your every move.
The aftermath:
I don't really remember how it all ended, and if one were to ask me when it ended, I wouldn't be able to give an answer. Unlike my family I wasn't entirely focused on the events around me. I was naive, and couldn't fully comprehend the enormity of the situation. It wasn't until a few years later that I stepped back and looked at the systematic violence that occurred around me, made me realize how big the riots were. While I was playing with my Nintendo DS, a class and race war broke out around. Although it died within in two weeks, the feelings of resentment are still present in London today. Businesses were destroyed and families were torn apart. When I return to England every summer I see the effect of the riots and how London is still recovering. Through the riots I have learned the power of communication. What happened in Baltimore and London could have all been prevented if we sat down and listened.

The chickenpox vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine. This means the live, disease-producing virus was modified, or weakened, in the laboratory to produce an organism that can grow and produce immunity in the body without causing illness.
How effective is this vaccine?
Ninety-seven percent of children between age 12 months and 12 years develop immunity to the disease after one dose of vaccine. For older children and adults, an average of 78% develop immunity after one dose and 99% develop immunity after the recommended two doses.
Isn't it better for a child to get chickenpox naturally?
Some parents purposely seek to get their children infected with varicella virus, even promoting "chickenpox parties" for this purpose. The belief is that it's better to be infected when young, a time when the infection is ordinarily less severe. Some parents also believe that something "natural" (the disease) is better than something "artificial" (the vaccine), or that immunity derived from the disease will be more permanent than that from the vaccine.
However, when a safe vaccine is available, parents need to weigh the supposed benefits of infection against its potential risks, including severe disease with complications such as infection with flesh-eating bacteria. No one can predict which child will develop a life-threatening case of chickenpox; in fact, most serious cases occur in previously healthy children.
Can the vaccine cause chickenpox?
Because this vaccine is made from a live, but weakened, virus, about 1% of recipients develop a mild form of the disease, consisting of a limited rash, most often with only 5-6 blisters. Usually there is no fever. These persons are then safe from the more serious, naturally occurring form of the virus.
Is there a chickenpox vaccination available for adults? I have never had it before and a work colleague of mine has been quite seriously afflicted with it from his children. I would rather not get it myself, so a vaccine would be great!
... and adults, an average of 78% develop immunity after one dose and 99% develop immunity after the recommended two doses.
Is there any reason why I shouldn't have the vaccine though? It seems odd that one is available and yet my doctor hasn't suggested it.
The vaccine is available to everyone, although your dr may charge for the vaccine since you are not following the immunization schedule which are usually covered by the government. If you have not had chicken pox as a child, they tend to be worse as adults with more complications. If you had chicken pox you can also get shingles which is a worse form as it affects your nervous system. I've had chicken pox as a child but also received the vaccine in adulthood. If you do decide to get the vaccine remember that you may get a side effect due to the live virus in the vaccine. Hope this answers your question.
I do believe when I was pregnant and the routine bloodwork returned they found that I have the antibodies for chicken pox although I do know for sure I never had the virus (despite being introduced to it in lil pox parties as you mentioned)...Are some people naturally immune?
My oldest daughter got them from daycare as a child when it when through, but my youngest has yet to get them...I nursed her for a couple of years and wonder if I could have passed on the same immunity to her?
also, would you recommend people getting blood work done to see their own immunity as an adult before getting the vaccine?
As for your youngest daughter, she may have some immunity due to the protection from the breast milk. You may still get them at a later time. If she did get the "pox" while you were breast feeding, she would not have had a severe case of them, and she could also get them again at a later time.
I do know for sure I never had the virus (despite being introduced to it in lil pox parties as you mentioned)...Are some people naturally immune?
According to my GP, most people who have an immunity but don't recall ever having the virus, most likely did have the virus, but for whatever reason it didn't erupt into full blown Chickpox and so they didn't notice.
Bummer that you have to pay for it. Best to be safe than sorry though. infact i recently heard of a 45 yr old friend of mine with shingles...does the vaccine stop shingles too?
$130 seems like it's expensive but not over your health. Apparently if parents do not follow the standard immunization schedule, the optional immunizations, such as this will not be covered by public health and will then come out of your own pocket, especially if you don't have health insurance.
I don't think that the vaccine stops shingles, although it is the same virus. It would be something to look into.
AFAIK, the vaccine will help prevent shingles as it's the shingles which are caused by the virus. I don't think it can help if you already have shingles though, it just lessens the likelyhood of you getting them in the first place.
How easy is it to get shingles? I don't really hear much about it.
Shingles is a second eruption of the varicella-zoster virus — the same virus that causes chickenpox.
Varicella-zoster is part of a group of viruses called herpes viruses, which includes the viruses that cause cold sores and genital herpes. Many of these viruses can lie hidden in your nervous system after an initial infection and remain inactive for years before causing another infection.
Anyone who's had chickenpox may develop shingles. If your immune system doesn't destroy the entire virus during the initial infection, the remaining virus can enter your nervous system and lie hidden for years. Eventually, it may reactivate and travel along nerve pathways to your skin — producing the shingles.
The reason for the encore is unclear. But it may be due to lowered immunity to infections as you grow older. Shingles is more common in older adults and in those who have weak immune systems.
I was reading up on the chicken pox disease and found the following information. (the numbers may be a bit outdated(2006), but the info is still the same).
About 3.7 million people get the disease every year.
Spreads by respiratory droplets and by fluid found in skin lesions.
It is extremely contagious and the virus attacks the whole body via the bloodstream.
Infected individuals feel tired and run a fever and then break out in in fluid filled blisters that arrive in clusters. The average number of lesions is 350.
People are contagious on average for about seven days.
The virus can cause PNEUMONIA AND ENCEPHALITIS. STREP BACTERIA is even more problematic, especially if it follows chicken pox as it can develop into the deadly type of flesh -eating.
Even if vaccinated there is still a small chance of getting SHINGLES later on in life. Shingles is an infection due to the reactivation of the chicken pox virus.
The CDC recommend a two does series for the vaccine.
About 1 in 5 children who get only ONE dose of the vaccine may get a mild case of chicken pox when exposed to someone with the infection.

WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES- US Apache helicopters have struck an Islamic State target for the first time in Iraq, the Pentagon said Monday.
The sophisticated attack choppers destroyed an IS car bomb Sunday near Qayyarah, which is about 50 miles (80 kilometers) south of Mosul, the group's main stronghold in Iraq.
"The government of Iraq approved the use of Apaches in support of ISF (Iraqi Security Forces) operations," Defense Department spokesman Christopher Sherwood said.
"The strike was vetted and approved through the same process the (US-led) coalition uses for all strikes."
Pentagon chief Ashton Carter has since early December made it clear to the Iraqi government that the US military is willing to use its Apaches based in Iraq to support local forces.
But the government had until now declined. US officials say this is because Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi didn't want to anger Shiite militias, who oppose the ramping up of US combat operations in Iraq.
Still, coalition warplanes and drones have since August 2014 been bombing IS targets in Iraq and Syria after the jihadist group overran large parts of the two countries.
The Apache strike came as Iraqi forces advanced towards Qayyarah with the eventual aim of retaking Mosul.
Iraqi forces are also battling IS fighters in Fallujah, which lies 30 miles west of Baghdad and is the group's other main Iraqi bastion besides Mosul.


YUSHUTUN, CHINA (AFP) - Wang Enlin, an elderly farmer who left school when he was 10 years old and taught himself law armed with a single textbook and dictionary, makes for an unlikely eco-warrior.
Yet the 64-year-old is determined to reap justice as he readies for a fresh battle in his war with a subsidiary of China's largest chemical firm, which he accuses of polluting and destroying his farmland.
"In China, behind every case of pollution is a case of corruption," he said of his mission to bring Qihua Chemical Group (also known as Heilongjiang Haohua Chemical) to account.
Wang and others villagers from northeast Heilongjiang province have sued Qihua accusing it of contaminating their soil, rendering it untenable for crops, in a case that has stretched on for more than 16 years.
This February, Wang and his self-styled "Senior Citizen Environmental Protection Team" earned a rare victory when a local court ordered Qihua to clear up their chemical waste site - adjacent to the farmers' land - and pay a total of 820,000 yuan (S$163,269) to compensate for lost harvests in 55 affected rural households.
But that ruling was overturned on appeal, and Wang is now gearing up to fight back on another day in court.
"We will absolutely win. The law is on our side," Wang told AFP.
His case is testing the possibilities of a national environmental protection law revised in 2015.
The legislation was widely touted as a way to open the courts to public interest environmental damage lawsuits, but has been criticised for poor implementation.
Qihua is a subsidiary of the state-owned ChemChina, the country's largest chemical enterprise. It specialises in crude oil processing and petroleum products.
Wang's battle began in 2001, when a village committee leased 28.5 hA to Qihua for use as a chemical waste dumping ground without the villagers' consent.
The villagers claim that the company failed to take proper pollution control measures.
Wang says he felt compelled to teach himself law after realising he lacked the knowledge or resources to take on the might of an industrial giant.
China had just emerged from its Great Famine when Wang left school: "It didn't matter at the time whether you got an education," he said. "It wouldn't change your fate." He was well into middle age when he found a textbook on environmental law at a local bookstore. It took him years to understand as he painstakingly looked up unfamiliar terms in a dog-eared dictionary.
After petitioning the local authorities to no avail, he received aid in 2007 from the Centre for Legal Assistance to Pollution Victims, which helped the villagers put together a lawsuit using evidence he had compiled.
A 2013 sampling of mercury levels conducted on the site by the Green Beagle Institute, a Beijing-based non-profit, found the land was "not suitable for agricultural use".
The Ministry of Environmental Protection included Qihua in a 2014 list of "major" environmental cases.
But it was still another year before Wang's case was accepted into China's justice system.
Prominent environmentalist Ma Jun told AFP that while the litigation process has been streamlined since 2015, pollution lawsuits can still take years to be heard partly because "local governments give some degree of protection to polluting companies".
Today Wang prepares his own legal paperwork and hosts daily gatherings at his home for villagers hoping to learn about their rights.
Wang, who suffers from lung problems and requires medicine to help him breathe, accuses Qihua of "pretending to be deaf and mute" on the issue.
He says he is frequently visited by police officers who urge him to drop the case and stop talking to the media.
Qihua's lawyers declined to comment on the case.
In September, the Qiqihar Intermediate People's Court accepted Wang's request to appeal the ruling that overturned his initial victory.
"We're just farmers, without any resources or power," said Wang Baoqin (no relation), a member of Wang Enlin's senior citizens' environmental group.
"Against the government, we can't win. Against those corrupt officials, we definitely can't win. So we decided to take the side road and fight the company." According to Rachel Stern, the author of "Environmental Litigation in China: A Study in Political Ambivalence," the number of new legal cases related to natural resources has increased tenfold over the past decade.
The Supreme People's Court heard 133,000 such cases last year.
Some complainants have found success: in 2015, a petrol giant was ordered to pay 1.68 million yuan to 21 fishermen whose livelihoods suffered from oil spills.
Qihua's plant did not appear to be in operation when AFP reporters visited in late August. The land was dry and marked by patches of overgrown grass, no longer the site of a massive wastewater pond.
But no crops will grow in the spot again, Wang Baoqin predicted.
"We may not even see justice in our lifetimes," she said. "We're doing this for the generations to come."

Mormons on the Warfront: The Protestant Mormons and Catholic Mormons of Northern Ireland
Claudia W. Harris
Northern Ireland, History, 1969-1994, Protestants, Catholics, Mormons
The conflict in Northern Ireland between Catholics and Protestants places Mormons, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in an impossibly difficult position, being shunned by both sides. Claudia Harris tells of her research in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland in the 1980s, staying the homes of Mormons and hearing of their experiences. Many Mormons were serving in various security forces and thus were paramilitary targets. Harris tells the stories and explores the cultural mindset of Irish Mormons.

If you don't know where you want to go, how will you know if you get there?
If you don't have clear goals, or aren't willing to work with me to define them, then we are not a good fit.
Building an audience is crucial to achieving your goals. This requires active customer generation.
Be prepared to work toward growing your audience.
Achieving S.M.A.R.T. goals is hard work and takes time. The fuel for achieving these goals is passion.
If you are not passionate about what you do, you cannot achieve these goals.
Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. You need a team to help you succeed.
Whether you have a VA that works a couple of hours a week or a full production team, you will need help.
In order to nail this project, you must be prepared to invest some cash. I don't work for equity in your start-up and I don't cut corners.
You won't need to remortgage your house but you will need to treat this as an investment. If you follow our direction, you will get a positive return.

Why does the RFC 2544 Back to Back test fail to run when the other tests complete?
Back to Back testing requires bursting traffic at the line rate as opposed to shaping the traffic tranmission. If flow control is enabled, in the network, the testset will receive pause frames which can cause the test to abort. Some test equipment may have advanced settings to ignore pause frames but some may be unable to conduct the test unless the flow control is disabled on the network.


A printed circuit board is a conductive pattern attached to the surface of an insulating substrate for connecting electronic devices. A printed circuit board having conductive patterns on both sides of the insulating substrate is called a double layer pcb. The double layer pcb has wiring on both sides. The double layer pcb is usually made of epoxy paperboard or glass cloth. Since the double layer pcb has conductive patterns on both sides, the via holes are generally used to connect the conductive patterns on both sides. A via is a small hole filled or coated with metal on a PCB that can be connected to the wires on both sides. Because the double layer pcb is twice as large as a single-layer printed circuit board, and the wiring can be interlaced (can be wound around the other side), the double layer pcb is suitable for use on circuits that are more complex than single-panel. The thickness of the double layer pcb is generally 1.6mm, the line width/line distance is 0.8mm/0.3mm, the aperture is 0.6mm, and the thickness of the copper foil is 1oz, that is, the weight of 1oZ is uniformly flattened by the thickness of 1 square foot. . It is the weight of the unit area to represent the average thickness of the copper foil.

SEOUL, Nov. 28 (Yonhap) — K-pop star Rain on Wednesday countered a money-swindling accusation raised against her late mother, hinting at taking a legal action against the accuser.
On Monday, an Internet user alleged in a posting at a popular online community that Rain's mother borrowed 25 million won (US$22,176) worth of rice and cash from the writer's parents on several occasions in the late 1980s but refused to pay them back despite the parents' repeated demand and eventually severed contact with them.
The accusation put Rain under fire after two other artists — rappers Microdot and Dok2 — were also embroiled in public criticism for their dealings with swindling charges raised against their parents.
A day later, Rain's management agency, Rain Company, said the singer will meet with the accuser to verify the claim and settle the issue, but the accuser again argued in a media interview the same day that Rain's family coldly turned down the demand for repayment when the accuser went to meet with Rain.
"With regard to the article posted on the online community, (Rain Company's) chief and Rain's father met with the people concerned and tried to talk about the issue," the management agency said in a new press statement Wednesday.
But Rain's side couldn't verify the existence of the transaction's formal documents the accuser claimed to have, the company said.
"Rain plans to take moral responsibility as a son and fully repay the exact amount of debts that are verified through fair procedures," according to the firm.
But the company will also take all the possible legal action, both civil and criminal, to recover the honor of Rain and his family, Rain Company said in reaction to the accuser's press interview.
"The malicious expressions in the interview, such as running away, swindling and giving a cold shoulder, gravely damaged the honor of Rain's father and late mother, not to mention Rain himself," the company said.
Singer Rain speaks during a press conference on Nov. 1, 2018, on the release of his latest EP "My Life," in this file photo.

Photographer Chris Arnade might be trying to get his soul back.
Arnade earned a PhD in physics, then made millions on Wall Street as a trader. He became increasingly disenchanted with Wall Street. In 2006, he set out on 20-mile walks exploring poor neighborhoods that people claimed were violent.
He told Press Play that he saw a lot more community and dignity there than people typically think, but also more frustration and inequality.
He left his job in 2012, and travelled the country taking a photos of poor, overlooked people — often at McDonald's, in a front yard full of weeds, and outside Goodwill.
These scenes were familiar to Arnade, who was raised in a small, working class rural town in Florida.
Arnade suggested the view from Wall Street makes it hard to understand life in much of America.
"I and a lot of other people like me, we tend to look at things in the framework of numbers and statistics, and forget about the people involved. That was certainly the case on Wall Street, where you could justify what you were doing because it was just numbers on a spreadsheet," he said.
Arnade recalled a teenager he met in East LA. A 15-year-old girl sat behind him each night in McDonald's, where he went to type up his notes. She was Mexican-American, and she came into McDonald's to use the internet because her parents didn't couldn't afford WiFi. She attended a local community college — instead of a more elite school that she would have liked — because she was her mom's translator. Her mom needed her.
Does Arnade think he's helping the people he photographs? He doesn't know.
"I do my best to try to treat everybody I meet as equals, and write about them as people who deserve to be heard. To the degree that that ultimately helps them, I don't know. I certainly hope it does. I certainly hope it doesn't harm them. I don't think I know enough to go into a community and tell people what to do," he said.

I was playtesting Kaduria and suddenly it crashed. It's so rare these days that I wanted to report it here. It happened during a call to strlen function:
I think it might have been in the call stack directly, but I don't even need it to find this bug, because strlen is used only six times in the source code and two times in message routines (other four are debug functions) so it in the message class, possibly quite easy to find.
And bigger is better. Noticed by an accident that big fonts are cool. The XP computer @ job couldn't anti-alias small fonts so I had to try with size 16 or bigger. Actually I like the way you can see only small fraction of the source code compared to small fonts. It's somehow better.
This setting has Monofur 18pt font. Couple of other monospace fonts also look great in bigger size. I think it's easier to read code when there is less information on screen at a time.
Even with 18pt font the editor character size is 97x26 which is amazingly close to old school 80x25 characters of a console or EGA screen.
There is now a style for walls etc. for each builders that went to Kaduria and constructed their own parts of the dungeon. Then I realized I also need some kind of style for each main or basic level theme, starting from the type of bedrock for a level and anything that can be stored into the main theme. Main theme will take away some data from the actual level theme, but as I said earlier it will introduce another class to maintain. However I think breaking data into smaller, possibly more manageable pieces is better in a complex roguelike.
Meanwhile I think I'm over some kind of depressing feeling which disallowed me to program Kaduria efficiently. When I think the reasons to do this in the first place they are still there.
Data-over-driven
There is a lot of data-driven stuff in Kaduria. However even such a good idea can be ruined with poor design. I wouldn't call it a failure in this case, but there is data that doesn't have a clear structure. Recently I got an idea to create styles for terrain tiles so each type of wall could be a part of some style (dwarven, ancient, elven, etc.). The style is a great target for a data-driven type, because then you could retrieve all sorts of objects that mostly belong to that style.
The problem is that style class would override other data already set up for level themes. It's a layer of data on top of existing data. Another problem is to determine how much and where each class or system is used. The style can't be same as level theme, in fact there could be several styles in one level.
I've had similar problems with main type of object data classes. It reduces the amount of data, but then you have two classes to maintain, with kind of dialog between classes that can be difficult to create.
I think styles is something that is required after all, which is yet another example of undefined design that should have been there.

.. _examples_native_app_login:

Native App Login
----------------

This is an example of the use of the Globus SDK to carry out an OAuth2
Native App Authentication flow.

The goal here is to have a user authenticate in Globus Auth, and for the SDK
to procure tokens which may be used to authenticate SDK calls against various
services for that user.

Get a Client
~~~~~~~~~~~~

In order to complete an OAuth2 flow to get tokens, you must have a client
definition registered with Globus Auth.
To do so, follow the relevant documentation for the
`Globus Auth Service <https://docs.globus.org/api/auth/>`_ or go directly to
`developers.globus.org <https://developers.globus.org/>`_ to do the
registration.

Make sure, when registering your application, that you enter
``https://auth.globus.org/v2/web/auth-code`` into the "Redirect URIs" field.
This is necessary to leverage the default behavior of the SDK, and is typically
sufficient for this type of application.

Do the Flow
~~~~~~~~~~~

If you want to copy-paste an example, you'll need at least a ``client_id`` for
your ``AuthClient`` object.
You should also specifically use the :class:`NativeAppAuthClient
<globus_sdk.NativeAppAuthClient>` type of ``AuthClient``, as it has been
customized to handle this flow.

The shortest version of the flow looks like this:

.. code-block:: python

    import globus_sdk

    # you must have a client ID
    CLIENT_ID = "..."

    client = globus_sdk.NativeAppAuthClient(CLIENT_ID)
    client.oauth2_start_flow()

    authorize_url = client.oauth2_get_authorize_url()
    print("Please go to this URL and login: {0}".format(authorize_url))

    auth_code = input("Please enter the code you get after login here: ").strip()
    token_response = client.oauth2_exchange_code_for_tokens(auth_code)

    # the useful values that you want at the end of this
    globus_auth_data = token_response.by_resource_server["auth.globus.org"]
    globus_transfer_data = token_response.by_resource_server["transfer.api.globus.org"]
    globus_auth_token = globus_auth_data["access_token"]
    globus_transfer_token = globus_transfer_data["access_token"]

Do It With Refresh Tokens
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The flow above will give you access tokens (short-lived credentials), good for
one-off operations.
However, if you want a persistent credential to access the logged-in user's
Globus resources, you need to request a long-lived credential called a Refresh
Token.

``refresh_tokens`` is a boolean option to the ``oauth2_start_flow`` method.
When False, the flow will terminate with a collection of Access Tokens, which
are simple limited lifetime credentials for accessing services. When True, the
flow will terminate not only with the Access Tokens, but additionally with a
set of Refresh Tokens which can be used **indefinitely** to request new Access
Tokens. The default is False.

Simply add this option to the example above:

.. code-block:: python

    client.oauth2_start_flow(refresh_tokens=True)

Home / Economy / Removing broker commissions is a double-edged sword
Removing broker commissions is a double-edged sword
Julian Lorkin | February 23, 2019
"Removing brokers' commissions could have serious unintended consequences," says Associate Professor Mark Humphrey-Jenner from the UNSW Business School. "Indeed, the RBA Governor has endorsed a 'cautious' approach to winding back commissions in these cases."
The banking royal commission recommended commissions for mortgage brokers be axed, that brokers be regulated like financial advisors, and that brokers be under an obligation to act in clients' best interests.
However, Mark Humphery-Jenner, an Associate Professor of Finance at the UNSW Business School, says there could be a side effect of removing commissions.
"If the government removes commissions, then brokers must receive payments from borrowers rather than from lenders," he says.
He argues this would result in borrowers facing higher upfront fees.
"Whereas commissions could previously be bundled in the total mortgage package and paid throughout the life of the loan, which many people may not notice, they would now need to be paid upfront. Imagine telling a first-time buyer, stretched to the limit to buy a one-bed unit in an outer suburb that they need to pay a 'fee' of thousands of dollars upfront to get a mortgage. It would wipe out a chunk of their deposit.
"Only wealthier borrowers could access mortgage brokers," he says.
Faced with this, A/Prof Humphrey-Jenner says, borrowers might balk at the fees and actually approach banks directly for a mortgage.
"Bank staff exist to facilitate loans with their own bank. By contrast, brokers consider products from multiple banks. While people can, if they choose, shop around for the cheapest mortgage, this is time consuming and implicitly costly as they navigate which banks provide the most suitable product. Therefore, the work for people who previously used borrowers would increase. And, as we have seen in everything from the power market to insurance, very few people really shop around."
Additionally, as borrowers deserted brokers due to the large upfront fees, brokers' earnings would fall.
"This will disproportionately affect smaller brokers. Larger brokers would also be affected, but due to economies of scale, would be slightly less affected. In turn, this could cause some brokers to close or to merge. This could reduce the choices available to borrowers as they might lose small – but nevertheless competent – mortgage brokers, who really know they customers."
A/Prof Humphrey-Jenner has looked at the current banking landscape, and says that overall, while it is necessary to ensure that bad actors are removed from the brokerage industry, it is necessary to consider other unintended consequences of cutting commissions.
"It will harm many honest brokers. In turn, this could harm individuals' access to valuable advice. This is especially poignant as the proposed best interests' obligation, coupled with additional licencing, plus the commercial reality of securing clients can help to rein in conflicted advice."

The compositional use of Guillaume de Machaut's rondeau Rose, liz, printemps (Rose, lily, spring) is intended to be a modern reflection of the social, religious, and political trends of fourteenth century Europe.
While the thirteenth century witnessed the perfecting of a universal philosophy that reconciled revelation and reason, the divine and the human, the religious and the political in one unbroken and harmonious order of thought, the fourteenth century perceived each arena of thought as independent in itself and not subject to the others.
Similarly, through isolation and independent use of Machaut's melodic and rhythmic motives in composition for chamber orchestra, I have represented the disjunct characteristics of life in Europe at the time Rose, liz, printemps was composed.
The late medieval and early Renaissance composer's propensity toward concealed meaning, capriciousness, and sometimes perverse obscurity of musical thought, further parallels my treatment of the model.

What Does "Pay Yourself First" Mean?
Alex Huntsberger
Alex Huntsberger is a personal finance writer who covered online lending, credit scores, and employment for OppU. His work has been cited by ESPN.com, Business Insider, and The Motley Fool.
Do you ever feel like your paycheck is a magician performing a disappearing act? One second you have a nice new chunk of money in your bank account, and the next you're scrounging under the couch cushions for change to pay your electric bill.
If you're someone with low income and bad credit, this "disappearing paycheck" act can feel like an especially cruel joke. Between bills, groceries, and debt payments, it just seems like you can never get ahead!
Unless...you decide to pay yourself first.
Heard that phrase before? It's pretty popular these days with personal finance-types. And it could be the key to cutting your paycheck's disappearing magic trick off at the knees.
Okay, but what does "pay yourself first" mean?
Gaby Lumby is a CPA and part of the team behind the popular personal finance website Cash Cow Couple.
"The "pay yourself first" philosophy is a pretty simple concept," says Lumby. "Whenever you receive income (from a job or business), you pay yourself first by investing/saving a certain percentage right off the top. So if my goal is to save 20% of my income, I take 20% of my net pay each paycheck and invest that in the best way I see fit."
Lumby says that "The reasoning/thinking behind saving/paying yourself is this: if you wait to pay all your bills and all the other odds and ends that go into life, you will never have enough money to save. There is always something that comes up that gets in the way of saving."
"But, if you automate the savings by paying yourself first each time you get income, then you will have to only spend what is left over. It is amazing how much easier it is to live on a portion of your total income when you don't give yourself the option of spending all of it in the first place," he says.
Justin Goodbread is a Certified Financial Planner and the owner of Heritage Investors. He also blogs about personal finance at FinanciallySimple.com.
I personally subscribe to the pay yourself first method because I believe it adds the most long-term net worth to a client's financial position," says Goodbread.
"I first read this concept in the old book called the Richest Man in Babylon which is perhaps but most favorite Finance book today still."
First published in 1926, "The Richest Man in Babylon" was a book of financial advice written by Samuel George Clason. The book presents its advice through a series of parables about characters in ancient Babylon.
Instead of "pay yourself first," the advice is presented here as "a part of all you earn is yours to keep." The book specifically states that a person should keep 10 percent of everything they earn for themselves.
While many stick to that 10 percent mark when talking about "pay yourself first," a person can certainly "pay" themselves more if they can afford it.
The cobbler's kids shoes are never shod...
The idea behind this pay yourself first method is to set up a budget where 10% of your earnings goes into an investment account or into alternative investments to build long-term net worth."
"The reason why I like the pay yourself first method is because in today's society it seems like our dollars are often stretch too many different ways and if we leave ourselves till last many times we don't take care of ourselves," says Goodbread.
"There's an old saying that 'the cobbler's kids shoes are never shod.' The idea behind this is that many times we get so busy taking care of others that we forget to take care of ourselves. So whenever I meet with a client I often work with him to develop a budget to where the first 10 percent of their earnings goes into an investment account like a Roth IRA or a 401k."
He adds, "This is not to say this is the same money which should go to pay down debt. Obviously, debt is a big burden for many Millennials and Gen-Xers but we still must set aside the first ten percent to pay ourselves."
Give yourself options
Robert R. Johnson is the president and CEO of The American College of Financial Services. He says, "Pay yourself first is important because if people don't do so, they will find themselves with too little in savings to sustain themselves in retirement."
"We all have many worthy competing financial goals in life. For instance, purchasing a home, saving for a child's college education, etc. The difference with the retirement savings goal is that if one falls short, one has only two options and neither are attractive—that is, having a lower standard of living or working longer."
"One has options with other goals," says Johnson. "For instance, one can continue to rent or buy a less expensive home. With college, a child can attend a less expensive school, attend community college, or work during school. One can also take out student loans."
"Options are valuable, and having adequate retirement savings affords an individual options. When faced with retirement and a lack of savings, the only options are to work longer or to accept a lower standard of living in retirement. And, oftentimes the option of working longer isn't available because of health reasons—a person's own health or that of a loved one."
"Too often one thinks about saving what is left over after current spending needs are exhausted. The proper way to look at it is to pay yourself first, and then spend what is left over," he says.
Create a System
According to Johnson, "Developing systematic behavior is the key" when it comes to paying yourself first.
"People should first have the maximum amount they can put into a tax deferred investment plan done so via payroll deduction," says Johnson.
"In effect, if you don't see the money you can't spend it. Some people make the mistake of feeling that once they have maxed out their tax-advantaged plan they are done. Individuals should supplement their tax-advantaged plan with additional savings."
We've written before about the importance of creating a budget if you want to save money and pay down debt. Creating systematic behavior through a budget—deciding what expenses are "needs" versus "wants"—is the same kind of discipline that will help you "pay yourself first."
So if you want to pay yourself first, then our advice is simple: make yourself a budget. Paying yourself first is going to be easier than you think it is, but it does require some planning up front.
Just remember: you're paying yourself first because you've dang well earned it!

The LA Kings defense remains the best in the NHL, as they are allowing just 2.04 goals against per game. The LA offense is one of the worst in the League right now; the Kings have scored 1 goal or less in four straight games, and have put just 1.50 goals per game on the board over their last 10 games, which is fewer goals than the last place Sabres offense is scoring (1.83 goals per game). The Kings were held scoreless in 2 of their last 3 games, and have had their last 4 games stay under the total. The last 2 games for the Penguins have managed to stay under the total, with the Penguins adding another win to the board with a 3-0 victory over Buffalo on Monday, two days after they were shut-out 3-0 by the Dallas Stars. The Pittsburgh defense ranks 9th overall with 2.42 GA/G. Both clubs have good penalty kill numbers over their last 10 games, while the respective power plays are suffering. The Kings have gone 86.1% on the penalty kill over their last 10 games, while scoring on just 9.5% of their power play opportunities (scored on just 3 of their last 38 power play opportunities), while the Penguins are a solid 84.4% on the penalty kill over their last 10 games, and have gone 16.7% on the power play. Marc-Andre Fleury is probable for Pittsburgh with his record of 29-12-1, 11th place goals against average (2.26 GAA), and the Leagues 14th best save percentage (.917 SV%). Fleury received a shut-out in his last start against Buffalo saving all 24 shots against him. Jonathan Quick is probable for LA and is 15-10-2 on the season with a 2.05 GAA (5th) and a .917 SV% (14th). The Kings are having a hard time scoring, while they continue to allow the fewest goals of any team in the NHL. This one should stay under the total and we will take it for a plus-money price.
There's great value on the Wild here at this price. The Wild have had to face three of five of the NHL's best teams in a row, and did pretty good for themselves, considering they won 2 of 3 games; a 4-2 win over Anaheim (Jan.28), a 2-3 loss to San Jose in overtime (Jan 25), and a 2-1 win against Chicago (Jan 23). The Avalanche managed a 4-3 win over Dallas on Monday, however two days prior they lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning by a score of 5-2. The Avalanche also lost by a score of 5-2 against the Toronto Maple Leafs on January 21st. The Minnesota Wild have the 7th best defense in the NHL, allowing just 2.38 goals against per game, and have allowed only 2.10 goals against per game across their last 10 games. The Avalanche defense are allowing more goals than usual, 2.90 goals against per game over their last 10 games, and have allowed 19 goals in their last 5 games, an average of 3.80 goals against per game. The Avalanche have the Wild beat on the special teams, as the Avs are 19.3% on the power play (12th) and 81.8% on the penalty kill (15th), while the Wild are 17.4% on the power play (20th) and are just 79.3% on the penalty kill (26th). Darcy Kuemper is probable for Minnesota and has done a great job in Hardings absence, winning 3 of his last 5 starts, and has a record of 6-3-1 with a 2.26 GAA and a .924 SV%. Semyon Varlamov is listed as probable for the Avalanche and is 26-9-5 on the season. Varlamov has the Leagues 8th best save percentage (.925) and a 2.43 GAA (15th). If the Wild are careful not to take many penalties, they have a great shot at winning this one, as their defense has been solid, accompanied by solid goaltending. At this price they provide exceptional value for bettors.


Our new house has a 1960's kitchen. It hasn't been updated, except for appliances and even those could use some modernization. The cabinets are original and don't have the conveniences that we were accustomed to in our former remodeled kitchen, such as slide out drawers in the lower cabinets or a luxurious and spacious corner cabinet. Even counter top space is at a premium.
BUT, we aren't quite ready to take on a kitchen remodel. We've decided to wait at least a year to overhaul the kitchen, for many reasons. I want to do it right, settle into the space, figure out how we would like things configured in the future. Ikea is opening soon in Denver and we will probably take that route when we do the remodel. I didn't want to just throw things up here willy nilly or purchase a new appliance that wouldn't work as well in the new space. We love to cook, we want our kitchen done just right, which means having a little patience and a vision.
I've been itching to get back here and post, but then something comes up. Take for example the photos. Our new home has undergone so many transformations in the past three weeks, you wouldn't believe it. I can hardly believe it. I'm ready to start posting before and after photos, but first I had to charge the G10 battery, so I could download the photos. Before I could charge the battery, I had to find the charger, which meant digging for the bin of electronic stuff we had at our apartment.
Reverb10: Photo That Best Captures Me!
Who am I, who do I strive to be?A photo based reflection by TraceyClark (yes two separate links, click them both).
Of course I had to be difficult and find two photos. The first one was the one I knew I was looking for, but the second one I needed to share as well. It's all a part of my journey and reflection.
Prompt: Encapsulate the year 2010 in one word.
Circumstances that make it possible to do something is opportunity.
January started off with an amazing opportunity to take a trip to London with friends. That trip became a source of inspiration for many things that unfolded through out the rest of the year. One of the major things that was inspired by my trip to London, was selling our home. Three days back in the States and the seed was planted, I discussed with J my desire to move and it all unfolded. Selling and buying a home became one big series of opportunities. I would be kidding myself if I didn't admit, the home selling process was also an opportunity to know true exhaustion. With out testing the limits of my spirit, I'd never know what was possible.

ABU DHABI // Auditions for local talent to star on Iftah Ya Simsim, the Arabic version of Sesame Street, are due to be held in April.
The show's bosses are on the hunt for actors, singers and dancers to join the cast and become puppeteers in helping entertain and educate children throughout the region.
Produced by Bidaya Media and twofour54, Abu Dhabi's media zone, Iftah Ya Simsim is expected to make its television debut across the GCC this year.
There will be at least seven positions open to male and female candidates, all of whom must speak Arabic but are not required to have prior acting or performing experience.
Candidates are asked to send video submissions to Bidaya Media to secure an audition slot.
"We are looking for talented people who have the ability to change their voices, to move, dance, be creative, sing and be flexible," said Nayla Tawfik, an associate producer at Bidaya Media, who will be overseeing the selection process.
"This is a golden opportunity for developing children's material. They will be trained by people who have been puppeteers for over 30 years," she said.
The Iftah Ya Simsim production staff have close ties with the original Sesame Street, and trained with the show's United States-based writers last year. The local team is keen to encourage GCC nationals to get involved with the programme, and inspire the next generation of acting talent.
"We have been in the design phase for over a year with input from child development experts, educators and cultural consultants," said Abdulla Al Sharhan, the show's creative director.
Mr Al Sharhan said despite the fun and family-friendly nature of the show, this was a career opportunity that should be taken seriously.
"This is a career job," he said. "If you are familiar with Sesame Street some of the puppeteers have been doing Sesame Street for over 30 years and are extremely experienced.
He said he wanted the cast to be role models for children and that their commitment to the show was important because of its intensive nature.
"They will be creating the characters, so they cannot leave us in the middle of the show," said Mr Al Sharhan.
Since its inception, Iftah Ya Simsim has focused on educating children, with its writers working not just to create interesting stories, but also to promote learning.
Dr Cairo Arafat, Bidaya Media's managing director, said children loved the muppets who reflect human playfulness, curiosity and imagination.
"Finding just the right talent to bring these muppets to life is a top priority of our work," she said.
