When President Joe Biden called out "Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans" last Thursday as representative of "an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic," he drew a clear line between those supporting the former president and those from all parties who support democracy. He quite deliberately drew a line between Trump supporters and "mainstream Republicans" who do not embrace the "extreme ideology" of their former allies.
Immediately, Trump supporters attacked the president and rushed to defend Trump, just as more news broke about his theft of classified documents and other presidential records when he left the White House. This tied the Republican Party to Trump, along with what is a stunning national security story that continues to unfold.
Just tonight we learned that FBI agents found a document detailing the military defenses of a foreign government, including its nuclear capabilities, during last month's search of Mar-a-Lago. What is at stake here is not simply information about the U.S., or even information about the way our leaders conceive of what is best for the U.S. What is at stake is the security of the U.S. and our democratic allies. Some of the documents they found were so highly restricted that they required special clearances on a need-to-know basis. Trump kept them in boxes at Mar-a-Lago.
This situation is extraordinary, but yesterday, Senator Marco Rubio demonstrated his loyalty to Trump when he referred to Trump's theft and mishandling of the documents as "a fight over storage of documents." Rubio is the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Yesterday's decision by Judge Aileen Cannon further illustrated the strength of the MAGA Republicans and their positions in places of power.
Cannon was nominated by Trump and confirmed after he lost the 2020 election. Yesterday she granted Trump's request for a special master to review the government documents the FBI recovered from Mar-a-Lago on August 8. Today, Ian Millhiser at Vox explained that Cannon's order could delay the FBI investigation by as much as years (other analysts argue that she has cut off only one avenue of investigation, so they believe it will not be that big a speedbump). The Department of Justice can appeal the decision, which Millhiser agrees with other legal analysts is "riddled with legal errors," but an appeal would go to the 11th circuit, where Trump appointed 6 of the 11 judges who, if they wished, could further delay the case, and then agree with Cannon. The Department of Justice could then appeal to the Supreme Court: which now has a 6 to 3 Republican majority, three of whom Trump himself appointed.
Cannon's order appears to have been intended to send a message. Bloomberg News legal and political reporter Zoe Tillman said today that seven senior officials who served in Republican administrations, including two former governors, a former attorney general, a former acting attorney general, and a former deputy attorney general, asked to send in a "friend of the court" brief in opposition to Trump's request. Cannon denied their request, saying the court "appreciates the movants' willingness to participate in this matter but does not find…[it]...warranted."
Millhiser asked: "Why would a judge do this unless they are trying to advertise the fact that they are not open to opposing arguments? Just accept the…brief and then don't read it if you don't want to make a public spectacle out of not caring what anyone says." Los Angeles Times legal affairs columnist Harry Litman said he didn't think he'd ever seen a court reject a friend of the court brief before.
MAGA Republicans are standing behind Trump in his determination to overturn the 2020 election. In Michigan on Friday, six people filed a suit to order Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to "work together to rerun the Michigan 2020 presidential election as soon as possible." One of those joining the suit previously handed over her township's vote tabulator to a group trying to prove "voter fraud" in the election.
And today, Zachary Cohen and Jason Morris of CNN reported that newly released surveillance video shows that on January 7, 2021, a Republican county official in Georgia escorted into her county's election offices two operatives working with Trump's attorneys to try to find voter fraud. That same day the voting systems were breached. The official, Cathy Latham, is under investigation for her role as a fake elector and has given conflicting testimony about her actions. Some of Trump's allies in the fake election scheme seem also to have launched a multistate effort to gain access to voting machines after the 2020 election.
Lies about the election from right-wing media convinced these MAGA Republicans of the Big Lie that the election had been stolen, but documents emerging from the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit against the Fox News Channel are illustrating that the people feeding those lies knew they were false. Dominion has sued the media giant for defamation, saying its hosts knew the stories they told of the voting machines switching votes were false and that it has been "irreparably harmed" by the lies that will lead to more than $600 million in lost profits over the next 8 years. The document production has yielded a November 2020 email from an FNC producer insisting that it must keep host Jeanine Pirro off the air because she was spreading conspiracy theories to back Trump's lies that the election had been stolen.
And, today, New Mexico judge Francis J. Mathew ruled that Couy Griffin, the founder of Cowboys for Trump, must be removed from his office as Otero County commissioner for participating in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. In a lawsuit brought by New Mexico citizens, Mathew ruled that Griffin is disqualified for office under the Fourteenth Amendment, which prohibits from holding office anyone who had engaged in "insurrection or rebellion" against the country. This is the first time this clause has been enforced since 1869, and the first time a court has found the attack on the Capitol was an insurrection.
Now other Republicans are weighing in to suggest that, now that the lines have been made very clear indeed, they will stand with the Constitution if there is an attempt to take the government by force. Today, eight former secretaries of defense and five former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff published an open letter in the national security outlet War on the Rocks outlining the "principles of civilian control and best practices of civil-military relations." The leading illustration was an image of the U.S. Constitution.
These former military leaders noted the many factors that have created "an exceptionally challenging civil-military environment," and reiterated that "civilian control of the military is part of the bedrock foundation of American democracy." They noted that "[t]he military—active-duty, reserve, and National Guard—have carefully delimited roles in law enforcement [that] must be taken only insofar as they are consistent with the Constitution and relevant statutes," and that "[m]ilitary and civilian leaders must be diligent about keeping the military separate from partisan political activity."
This is a calmer echo of the open letter the ten living former secretaries of defense published on January 3, 2021, in the Washington Post, which called for a peaceful transition of power after the 2020 election and seemed to warn colleagues not to back the former president's attempts to create an uprising. They said: "Efforts to involve the U.S. armed forces in resolving election disputes would take us into dangerous, unlawful and unconstitutional territory. Civilian and military officials who direct or carry out such measures would be accountable, including potentially facing criminal penalties, for the grave consequences of their actions on our republic."
Perhaps most notably, in an interview with Greg Sargent of the Washington Post, published today, longtime conservative Bill Kristol said that, at least in the short term, the Republican Party cannot be saved. "And," he offered, "if we don't have two reasonably healthy parties, the unhealthy party has to be defeated."
And, finally, the formula shortage has largely fallen out of the news, but the administration has not dropped the ball. Yesterday, the administration completed the twenty-second mission of Operation Fly Formula, which has now flown in more than 85 million 8-ounce bottle equivalents.

Why would a judge do this unless they are trying to advertise the fact that they are not open to opposing arguments? Just accept the fucking brief and then don't read it if you don't want to make a public spectacle out of not caring what anyone says.

I don't believe that I've ever seen a court reject a proposed amicus brief, especially from eminent amici like the Former GOP prosecutors Cannon just refused to hear from. That's now several bizarre & non-judicial moves, starting w/ her first announcement of intent to grant SM.

This evening, as I was picking up a take-out order from one of my favourite restaurants in New Mexico, the manager said "Get out of here", to two MAGA customers, who may have been making comments about the waitress, a Hispanic woman, who was born and raised in the town where the restaurant was located. The two left in a hurry, jumped in their truck, and hightailed it out of the lot. This is a town that went for Trump, twice. The veneer is wearing thin.

Rubio and Senate Intelligence is an oxymoron.


3	Combine cornbread and chicken stock with above - salt and pepper to taste.
Notes: Use more or less chicken stock based on how creamy or firm you wish the dressing to be! It's best to cook the cornbread the night before and use a food processor to crumble it up when ready to add to dressing. I usually transfer the entire contents to a crock pot and let it simmer for several hours before serving.

PRESENTATIONS TO OLD GROWTH PANEL-Part 1
EDITORS NOTE: I have been sent a number of presentations that were made to the Old Growth Panel. I am placing them below for your comments, use, or whatever.
Thank you to those who sent these to me.
There will be several more additions over the coming days, so stay tuned!
Old-Growth Strategic Review Panel
Bobby Arbess
Thank you panel members for the opportunity to address an issue that has been close to my heart since my arrival on this coast in 1985, at which time I worked in silviculture, planting trees in the largest clearcut in the world, near Quesnel, an area devastated by the spruce beetle bug infestation. My name is Bobby Arbess. I am a veteran tree hugger, member of the Friends of Carmanah-Walbran and organizer with the Forests4Climate! Coalition, representing over 50 civil society groups and youth, climate, Indigenous, faith and sustainable forestry leaders across B.C. calling for bold action to protect the last remaining carbon-rich old-growth temperate rainforests as a necessary measure to help stabilize the atmosphere and buffer the planet from runaway climate change.
I wish to acknowledge that this meeting is taking place on the unceded territory of the Lekwungen people and that the climate crisis that I would like to address today in the context of the urgency of protecting old-growth forests, in my opinion, not talked enough about in forestry circles, is a by-product of a system of resource colonialism and economic growth that in only 150 years of colonization has pushed the planet to the point of the dangerous decline of every ecosystem on Earth. So that by acknowledging land, I also acknowledge the history of resource extractive violence on these lands, the violence to culture, to children, to Indigenous peoples and to all life, that has led us to this moment in which the future of all children and all life is uncertain.
The purpose for leaving my "native" Montreal was to help protect the dwindling ancient temperate rainforests of the West Coast, that until I received a Western Canada Wilderness Committee calendar sent to a previous tenant of my apartment in Montreal, I did not know even existed. That Canada has a rainforest, was a revelation to me that quite literally changed my life. Of course, up until recently the coastal timber industry, including the BC Forest Service, did not recognize that Canada has a west coast rainforest, referring instead to the big-tree forests of this coast under the industry timber classification system, less affectionately, as the Coastal Western Hemlock Zone.
In 1989, I visited the fabled Carmanah valley, a place I had only seen in WC calendars and began trail-building through the giant Sitka Spruce habitat on its pristine alluvial valley bottom and in the neighbouring big cedar country of the Walbran valley, almost every weekend and some time for longer stretches from 1989 to 1991. In 1991, with multinationals Fletcher Challenge and
McMillan Bloedel poised to punch mainlines through most of the Walbran valley in one summer, I participated in the organizing of a three-month road blockade, to prevent over 13 kms of logging road development. These actions helped lead to the the creation of Carmanah-Walbran Provincial Park, over 15, 000 hectares of old-growth forest paradise. Despite, the very heart of this area being left out of the park, for its giant Western Red Cedars, now known as the Central Walbran, for which we are still fighting today, this was a victory for the movement to protect this amazing land-base from reckless destruction for short-term profit. Since that time, however, over the last 25 years, almost 10, 000 hectares a year, an area roughly 16 x the size of Carmanah-Walbran Provincial Park of old-growth rainforest, has been lost forever.
I say forever, because an old-growth forest is an irreplaceable and therefore non-renewable source of life ( notice how I didn't say resource) that has evolved under the moist, cool conditions of the post-Pleistocene glacial period that provided the optimal conditions for thriving forest succession. In a rapidly warming world, created partly due to deforestation, those conditions are not something we can wilfully reproduce. Once these forests are gone they are gone forever. We need to come by that honestly. The biologically barren environment of an industrial tree plantation with trees spaced 10 feet apart over hundreds of thousands of hectares, all the same age, height and devoid of the structural, age, height and biological diversity of a climax successional , low-disturbance forest naturally evolving for 10, 000 years, is no substitute for the real thing. That said, I hold hope that a dramatically scaled down version of the industry can thrive in a restorative capacity tending the vast silvicultural lands to bring back the characteristics of an old-growth forest and with it improved high quality wood, the future of forestry in BC.
The tragedy of the industrial forestry model is that we have been liquidating some of the best softwood forests on earth and replacing them with something the companies that have been cutting them down want nothing to do with. Once the 'green gold' is gone so go the companies, leaving local communities with diminishing jobs and a degraded land. The Tree Farm License system, stripped if its apppurtenancy clauses that once held logging companies accountable for job stability in exchange for the gargantuan privilege of timber rights over vast areas of unceded Indigenous lands, has been a nightmare to local communities and ecosystems alike.
If I were the Premier of British Columbia I would revoke those timber licenses as they have violated the very trust upon which they were first granted. I would return land to the people it was stolen from and I would work with them to create new legislation to ensure the maximum number of jobs per trees extracted from the land, rather than maximized profits for multinational logging companies who have called the shots around here for far too long. Perhaps the Panel can make such recommendations for returning wealth back to the communities, human and more-than-human from where it is has been stolen by an industry bent on maximizing profit through over-cutting, mechanization and the unbridled export of raw timber.
Only then will we have our cake and eat it too. Only then can we protect all or most of the remaining old-growth forests and have no net loss, but rather more, sustainable jobs in a thriving, value-added forest economy based on diversification and investment in transitioning the smaller and smaller work-force still involved in old-growth logging into long-term sustainable careers in eco and cultural-tourism, land-based aquaculture, salmon enhancement, sustainable harvesting of non-timber forest resources such as berries, mushrooms, plant medicinals and manufacturing of quality finished wood products requiring skilled craftmanship and pride in work. This is what is missing in BC and there is no better time than now to make that investment in a vibrant future of human-scale, sustainable economic development for local forest-dependant communities that gets them out of the rut of boom and bust economic cycles that has been the scourge of land-based communities.
The primary, old-growth and ancient temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest are amongst some of the most carbon-rich forests, containing the highest volumes of woody biomass of any forests in the world. Their geographic distribution is extremely restricted. There is a large volume of scientific evidence that confirms the role these forests play as a critical storehouse of carbon, sequestering vast amounts of C02. Many scientific reports have established evidence that protecting the last of these forests can be one of the most important measures to tackle both the climate and biodiversity crisis we are in. Forests4Climate! have urged B.C Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy George Heyman to take a bold stand to protect these forests as part of the Province's climate action plans.
There appears to be large disagreement and discrepancy between government/corporate and non-profit organization figures about how much old-growth forests remain on Vancouver island and the southwest mainland. Sierra Club and Ancient Forest Alliance figures seem to concur that less than 10% of the low-elevation coastal old-growth forest remains-- that 90% of the original low-elevation old-growth forest has been logged in under 150 years of settler-colonialism on this coast, an astounding disaster in my mind, and reason alone to halt all further industrial logging of this globally-significant natural ecosystem.
FLNRORD figures suggest that over half of the old-growth forests remain. Although these forests on unceded Indigenous lands are purportedly managed in the public trust, there is no publicly-available information of any scientific inventory of how much of the low-elevation old-growth forests remain and the government appears to have no clue what is left or to have any scientific basis for determining a conservation baseline required for protecting biodiversity and maintaining the ecological services these forests provide including critical carbon sequestration and storage, salmon spawning and other wildlife habitat of commercial and non-commercial species, fishwater and drinking water and clean air; as well as ethnocultural resources and cultural sites of Indigenous peoples who have stewarded these lands since time immemorial.
One thing we know: We will run out of old-growth if we keep cutting it and once we do we will have to fallback on the silvicultural land-base for wood. If that day is inevitable and we need the carbon sequestration of the old-growth forests to help get us through the next 30 years in which we must neutralize our carbon footprint on this planet or put the survival of humanity at risk, why not protect these forests now? There is nothing we can do in British Columbia that will more effectively contribute natural solutions to the climate crisis and to act on the rare opportunity to be wise carbon stewards than to safeguard the globally significant critical carbon sink that is embodied in these old-growth forests. The accelerating severity of the climate crisis now considered the greatest existential threat facing humanity and the web of life on this planet adds an unprecedented moral urgency to the protection of the last old-growth forests. In no small way, our collective future and the welfare of our children and their children depends on it.
We must all rise to the occasion and do what we can, where we can to reverse catastrophic climate change.
As we know, these coastal and interior rainforests are not naturally subjected to the kinds of fire cycles and pest and disease outbreaks of other forests in the province. As more and more of BC's forests are consumed in climate-related wildfires it is especially critical that we protect the forests that don't typically burn and which act literally as climate guardians preventing further global warming and its associated litany of "natural" disasters.
For too long the conversation about old-growth forests has taken place strictly within an industrial paradigm that views forests predominantly as a resource to exploit. The unquestioned assumption and operating norm of the industrial forestry system that is about liquidating old-growth forests and replacing them with tree farms, has always been that what can be logged will be logged and if something is to be protected, taken out of the industrial land-base, viewed ironically, as if protecting something is a form of removal, then members of the public will have to fight for years for a park or Indigenous communities will have to engage in civil disobedience to establish ICPAs or Tribal Parks on their traditional territories.

East Texas celebrates life, legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Cardinals star WR Fitzgerald returning for 2020 season
by: DAVID BRANDT, Associated Press
FILE – In this Oct. 6, 2019, file photo, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald attends a news conference after winning an NFL football game against the Cincinnati Bengals, in Cincinnati. Fitzgerald is coming back to the team for the 2020 season. There was speculations the 36-year-old Fitzgerald might retire, but the team announced Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2020, he has signed a one-year contract. (AP Photo/Frank Victores, File)
TEMPE, Arizona (AP) — Larry Fitzgerald didn't keep the Arizona Cardinals waiting for long. One of the most productive wide receivers in NFL history isn't done yet, returning for his 17th season with the franchise that drafted him in 2004.
After some speculation that the popular 36-year-old Fitzgerald might finally retire, the team announced Wednesday he has signed a one-year contact that will keep him in the desert through 2020.
"This season was among the most fun of my career," Fitzgerald said in a tweet. "The future is so bright for this team & I relish the opportunity to build with this talented young nucleus."
"Arizona is where I started and where I will finish. 2020! Let's get to work!"
Fitzgerald was a key part of the Cardinals' offense in his 16th NFL season, leading the team with 75 catches for 804 yards and four touchdowns. He repeatedly said how much he enjoyed playing with rookie quarterback Kyler Murray, who was the No. 1 overall pick in last year's draft and quickly developed into a quality starter. He also was quick to praise first-year coach Kliff Kingsbury.
Now they'll get a second shot to make the playoffs together. The Cardinals had a 5-10-1 record last year, which was last in the NFC West. But the franchise showed growth as the season progressed, including a road win over playoff-bound Seattle on Dec. 22.
Fitzgerald's future was a little uncertain after the Cardinals lost to the Rams on Dec. 29 in the regular-season finale. Though his on-field performance showed he was still a high-quality NFL receiver, he often talks about how he's got other interests and would take a few weeks to make his decision.
Kingsbury said he'd make his pitch for Fitzgerald to return. Teammates wanted him back, too, though nobody seemed totally certain what his final decision would be.
Now the speculation is over. He'll be 37 before the start of next season, but there's little sign he's slowing down.
In 16 seasons with Arizona, Fitzgerald is the Cardinals' franchise leader in games played (250), receptions (1,378), receiving yards (17,083), receiving touchdowns (120), total touchdowns (120) and 100-yard games (49). His 1,378 career receptions are the most by any player in NFL history with a single team.
He ranks second all time behind Hall of Famer Jerry Rice (1,549). Fitzgerald's 17,083 career receiving yards also rank second in NFL history, while his 120 career touchdown receptions are sixth.
In the 2019 season finale against the Rams, Fitzgerald appeared in his 250th career game for the Cardinals, becoming the first wideout and 13th player in NFL history to appear in at least 250 games with a single team.
An 11-time Pro Bowler, Fitzgerald has played all 16 games in each of the last five years (2015-19) and his streak of 84 consecutive starts is the longest active streak among NFL wide receivers.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Mission accomplished for Florida International's James Morgan, Charlotte's Benny LeMay and Navy's Malcolm Perry in the East-West Shrine Bowl.
The trio shined for the East in a 31-27 victory, with Morgan leading two first-quarter touchdown drives and LeMay rushing for a pair of TDs, including the game-winner. Perry took a direct snap from center and sprinted 52 yards for a TD on his only carry.
Leonard, Clippers rally to beat Pelicans 133-130
by BRETT MARTEL, Associated Press / Jan 18, 2020
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — As disappointed as Clippers coach Doc Rivers was to see his team give up 80 first-half points, he now has evidence that his team can do that and still find a way to win — on the road.
Kawhi Leonard scored 39 points and the Clippers rallied to beat the recently resurgent New Orleans Pelicans 133-130 on Saturday.

Patrick Alan "Pat" Day was born in Brush, Colorado on October 13, 1953. Early on, Day recognized he loved sports and had a very competitive nature. Despite his small and wiry physique, Day found a way to indulge his affinity for athletics and competition by joining his high school's wrestling program, where he won the state championship in his weight category. After high school, his daredevil nature and natural abilities led him to try his hand at rodeo bull riding on the local circuit. It was - by his own admission - not a successful career move.
Former UofL All-American and Utah Star -Felton SpencerAll-American on the court and an academic All-American off it, Felton Spencer has used his size, smarts and rebounding skills to become a productive center in the NBA as both a starter and a reserve. The 7-foot, 265-pound Spencer finished his college career as Louisville's all-time field goal percentage leader at .628. He took over the center position as a senior in 1990-91 after Pervis Ellison joined the NBA. That season Spencer paced the Cardinals in scoring (14.9 ppg), rebounding (8.5 rpg), blocked shots (69) and field goal percentage (.681).
The only coach in NCAA history to take three different teams to the NCAA Final Four, Pitino's up-tempo style, pressure defense, strong work ethic and family atmosphere have quickly returned the Cardinals to national prominence, with top 25 rankings over the last seven years and a visit to at least the final eight teams of the NCAA Tournament in three of the last six years as evidence. The successes of the 2005 Final Four squad were built upon the efforts of his early teams at U of L.

Stranger Things Spoilers Are (Kind of) Here
June 8, 2017 at 4:22pm PM EDT
If you're a human and therefore are literally counting down the days until Season 2 of Stranger Things hits Netflix, then do I have some good news for you!
Related story Ma Rainey's Black Bottom Star Taylour Paige Breaks Down the Chadwick Boseman Scene That Will Give You Chills (Exclusive)
More: Millie Bobby Brown Serves Fans a Heartbreaking Reality Check
The new season premiere is still several months away, but some spoilers have finally hit the web, so if you simply cannot wait until Oct. 31 to get your fix, read on for a sneak peek of what's to come. Obviously, if you're not down for spoilers, this is a good time to stop reading.
Still with me? Good. Here's what we know about Season 2, straight from the mouths of the cast and creators of the show.
First off, things are gonna get dark. Noah Scnapp, who plays Will, says the new season is "darker and more eerie," and for the true horror fans who fell in love with the show, good news: "Scarier stuff happens," according to Finn Wolfhard, who plays Mike. Wolfhard added (big spoiler alert here): "Something happens to Will in the first couple of episodes that's very, very disturbing."

That info isn't terribly surprising considering where we left Will at the end of Season 1. He hadn't fully recovered from his time spent in the Upside Down, and according to Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin, he's still not better and his friends have picked up on it by Season 2.
"They know he is not well," Matarazzo said. "But they are just trying to pretend [nothing] happened."
Meanwhile, Mike is pining over the loss of his love interest, Eleven.
"He's kind of somber," Wolfhard reveals. "He's kind of given up on life. He has no one to fight for until, slowly as the season progresses, he [becomes] more and more like [the] leader he was in the first season."
Here's the most important spoiler, though. There's a new monster coming in Season 2, and it's going to be bigger and badder than the Demogorgon.
"Last season, a lot of the horror and a lot of what was happening with Will was off screen in the Upside Down," show creator Ross Duffer explained. "That's not the case [in Season 2]. The horror is more up-close and personal."

We're ready.

Международный союз по охране новых сортов растений (УПОВ) (, UPOV) — международная межправительственная организация.

Целью УПОВ является обеспечение признания членами Союза достижений селекционеров, занимающихся выведением новых сортов растений, путём предоставления им права интеллектуальной собственности на основании ряда четко оговоренных принципов. Для получения охраны новый сорт должен быть: отличным от существующих общеизвестных сортов, достаточно однородным, стабильным и новым в том смысле, что он не должен являться предметом коммерческого сбыта до определенных дат, установленных путём ссылки на дату подачи заявки на предоставление охраны.

УПОВ учрежден Международной конвенцией по охране новых сортов растений, которая была подписана в Париже в 1961 году. Конвенция вступила в силу в 1968 году и пересматривалась в Женеве в 1972, 1978 и 1991 годах. Акт 1991 года вступил в силу 24 апреля 1998 г.

Новые сорта растений охраняются в целях содействия развитию сельского хозяйства, а также защиты интересов селекционеров.

Улучшенные сорта являются необходимым в экономическом отношении элементом количественного и качественного расширения производства продуктов питания и получения возобновляемых источников энергии и сырья.

Получение определенных исключительных прав на новый сорт создает лучшие возможности для добившихся успехов селекционеров при компенсации своих расходов и получении дополнительных денежных средств для последующих инвестиций. Отсутствие охраны прав селекционеров делает эти цели трудно достижимыми, поскольку ничто не мешает третьим лицам заниматься размножением семян или другого семенного материала, выведенного селекционером сорта, и осуществлять коммерческий сбыт без всякого признания его труда.

Членство в УПОВ

Становясь членом УПОВ, государство или межправительственная организация заявляет о своем намерении охранять права селекционеров на основе принципов получивших международное признание и поддержку. Оно предоставляет национальным селекционерам возможность получать правовую охрану на территории других членов и стимулирует иностранных селекционеров к вложению средств в селекцию растений и производство семян на своей территории.

По состоянию на 5 декабря 2012 г. УПОВ имеет в своём составе 71 члена. 18 государств и межправительственных организаций инициировали в Совете УПОВ процедуру присоединения к Союзу, и 53 других государства обращались в Бюро Союза за помощью в разработке законодательства по охране сортов растений. Ожидается, что более 100 государств или межправительственных организаций могут стать членами УПОВ в будущем.

Деятельность УПОВ
Содействие развитию международной гармонизации и сотрудничества, главным образом между государствами-членами Союза, а также в оказание помощи странам в подготовке законодательства в области охраны сортов растений. Для ведения успешной международной торговли требуются однородные и, как минимум, взаимосопоставимые правила.

Разработка рекомендаций, свода принципов для проведения экспертизы сортов на предмет наличия отличимости, однородности и стабильности, а также типовых соглашений и бланков.

Члены УПОВ и Секретариат УПОВ поддерживают контакты и оказывают юридическую, административную и техническую помощь правительствам государств — членов союза, проявляющих интерес к деятельности Союза, а также к охране сортов растений.

Информация о развитии законодательства в области охраны сортов во всем мире публикуется в Бюллетене «Охрана сортов растений» .

For the Fun Monday challenge, thoughtful Robin of Pensieve is asking us to present our favorite words of inspiration. Although I recently posted this quote, one of my favorites is from the show West Wing. Leo empathically supports Josh who is suffering from post-traumatic stress.
out a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a friend walks by."HeyJoe, it's me, can you help me out?" And the friend jumps in the hole.Our guy says, "Are you stupid? Now we're both down here." The friend says,"Yeah, but I've been down here before, and I know the way out.
I realize that professional help is sometimes needed, but many times all we need is a little help from our friends. I try to be this kind of friend.
Another quote I try to follow is from Matthew 5:44. Jesus said, "But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." I find this commandment tremendously difficult to follow. Still, if we all worked towards this goal, the world would be a much better place.
A final inspirational quote is new to me today. Our pastor showed a clip to the movie, I Am Legend, to introduce his sermon titled, "Light up the Darkness." The clip included this quote that the Will Smith character, Dr. Neville, attributed to Bob Marley, the famous Reggae singer, "The people, who were trying to make this world worse... are not taking a day off. How can I? Light up the darkness." I like the thought of trying to light up the darkness each and every day.
Look for the list other inspirational quoters at Robin's place.
Spring has been arriving slowly in my part of the world. Temperatures most of the week continue to be chilly here in northwest Indiana. On Thursday, we had something that I call thunder snow. That is to say that we had lightening and thunder during a snowstorm. Nonetheless, if you look at the outside world very carefully, you can see signs of spring. On Easter Sunday, Daddy D and I looked for specifc signal of the new season. This unique flower is what we found at a local park.
Skunk Cabbage , Symplocarpus foetidus, as the species name indicates has a fetid odor.
I am the youngest of three sisters. You may have read a little about my sisters in one of my Fun Monday posts earlier in the summer. Recently, my oldest sister, Margaret, who is a world traveler sent my middle sister, Betsy, and me each a festive pin of three women. Margaret's plan was for each us to have and to wear one these handmade pins from Guatamala. This note accompanied the lovely pin.
I love the pin because these women are working to improve the lives of the people in Guatamala. Furthermore, I like the pin because it does remind me of my sisters. Unlike the women in the pin, who appear to be triplets, my sisters and I look different than each other, but there are familial similarities. The three of us are tall, and growing up we all had dark brown hair.
In the above picture, I must have been about 18 months. If the picture of my sisters is from the same time period, Margaret would be 9 and Betsy 5.
The picture of the Thompson girls including our mother Laura in Christmas robes was taken in December of 1952. Can you believe that anyone would actually choose the dark green wallpaper?
This picture from 1957 shows the three of us in front of our first family car. Our family did not own a car until the year that Margaret turned 16.
In this picture from 1970 Margaret is on the left. Betsy is in the middle. I am the pregnant lady on the right with the wrinkled collar.
In this picture from the early 80's, I am on the left. Margaret is the middle, and Betsy is on the right. Notice that I am no longer the littlest sister.
In fact, I tease my sisters by telling them that I am the tallest. On the rare occasion when the three of us are together, I encourage us to pose for a picture to prove once again that I am the tallest. The following pictures in 2005 and 2006 are two such pictures. If I am not the tallest at least, I have the whitest hair.
The venerable Swampwitch of Anecdotes, Antidotes, and Anodes is the hostess of this week's Fun Monday. Swampy is essentially asking us to compile an alphabetical list of attributes on a topic of our choice. My list includes reasons or excuses for my absence in the blogging world.
Because of some of the reasons listed above, I was unable to participate in last week's Fun Monday hosted by Nikki of My Husband Calls Me Weird. The challenge that she offered the participants was to tell about words created by our family members. I remember a few endearing words spoken by our sons as babies. Our older son, Dean, called music, monkeys. Later at 18 months, he called hamburger, hangabur. When he first said this word, I did not understand what he meant so he repeated the word slowly (as if we spoke a different language), "hang-ga-burr." Normally, Dean enunciated his words very clearly and seemed to have no trouble speaking correctly. However, we thought that his word was so cute that we did not correct his pronunciation of hamburger until a few years later. Our younger son, Luke, spoke well too. At 18 months, he would say "thirsty" when he needed a drink clearly enunciating that difficult "th" sound. Luke said some unusual phrases, like " When I was a blue child." and "I can't fly." Although lack of Luke's flying ability may be obvious, why he was compelled to relay about being a "blue child" his parents will never know.
I wish to thank both Swampy for hosting this week's adventure and Nikki for hosting the fun St. Patrick's Day event. If you wish to participate in this week's alphabetical challenge, visit the Swampwitch at Anecdotes, Antidotes, and Anodes. I trust that both Swampy and Nikki will forgive my two for one Fun Monday post.
In my Sunday post on March 16, I said, "Hello," to spring. However, spring in this part of the world did not actually arrive until Thursday, March 20 at 5:48 UT. Furthermore, in our corner of the Earth, we have four seasons with vast differences in temperature and weather patterns. Spring here in Indiana is marked by rain, warming temperatures, and blossoming flowers and trees.
One phenomenon that I witness every spring and every fall as I drive to work at about 7:00 AM is the sun rising directly in the east right down the road in front of me. Although the sun shining in one's eyes is inconvenient, I find this astronomical occurrence fascinating. Our route to work is mostly down 73rd Avenue, a east-west bearing street that has been a pathway for mankind for centuries. In prehistoric times, the street was the Great Sauk Trail used by native Americans. In 1912, the street became part of the first road across America called the Lincoln Highway or US 30. This ancient path runs in a straight east-west direction, perhaps due to historic travelers following the sunrise to the east or the sunset to the west.
Yesterday, on the first day of spring as I was squinting at the gorgeous sunrise, I planned to photograph the sun rising at the east end of 73rd Avenue this morning and then to blog about this grand event of the sun rising due east on the Vernal Equinox. However, this is what our spring world looked like on the second day of spring in 2008.
I guess that the spring rains and flowers will come later.
Although the creative blogging event hosted by Elizabeth Joy at Wildflower Morning is over, I have one belated contribution. I have been sickly for the past month and unable to participate in some of the weekly events of Wildflowers in Winter. For the last week of the inspiring series, Elizabeth Joy asked us to post a picture of an early wildflower in our area. This picture taken last year at a local park is usually the first flower that I see each spring.
If are not observant, you might miss this tiny harbinger of spring, Whitlow's Grass.
As a continuation or an addendum to yesterday's Fun Monday memorable movie quotes, I would like to add my favorite West Wing quote that Leo McGarry said to Josh Lyman after Josh's three weeks of therapy with a trauma psychiatrist.
a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a friend walks by.
"Hey Joe, it's me, can you help me out?" And the friend jumps in the hole.
"Yeah, but I've been down here before, and I know the way out.
I love this quote. Sometimes a friend can offer help when professionals struggle to offer the right kind of help.
Another quote used by a few of the Fun Monday participants that I would like to highlight is this quote from Little Shop of Horrors, "Feed me, Seymour." said by the man-eating plant Audrey II to Seymour Krelboin. Daddy D and I grow some exotic plants that produce a large unusual flower that produces a fetid odor. You can read about these plants in this entry on our team blog, Mama Said, Papa Said. This winter one of the plants has produced another stinky but fascinating bloom.
This week's Fun Monday host is I.T. Guy from Life, IT, and Governance. I.T. Guy is asking for five favorite or memorable movie quotes. He has also requested that we identify the speaker and to whom we might say these specific quotes.
1. "You are holding my heart." said by Claire Cooper played by Jamie Lee Curtis in Forever Young. I would say this to my sweet lifemate and lover, Daddy D.
2. Who can forget the memorable, " I'd rather have 30 minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special", stated by Shelby played by Julia Roberts in Steel Magnolias? These wise words could be said to anyone who is down and needs encouragement.
3. These words said by the dynamic teacher, John Keating, played by Robin Williams in the Dead Poet's Society is sage advice for all youth.
too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable?
seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary.
4. These words from the opening of Love Actually are wonderful thoughts for all of humanity. These words make my heart sing.
that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there-fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge-they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.
5. My final choice from The Empire Strikes Back is the dramatic declaration, "No, I am your father."Darth Vader says to his son, Luke Skywalker. These are words that my husband occasionally says to our son, Luke in jest. - although Daddy D may state the phrase more like "LUKE, I am your father."
What are some of your favorite movie quotes? To read other memorable quotes, check out the other Fun Monday participants at Life, IT, and Governance.
On to other matters, awhile ago the lovely Pamela of Dust Can Wait recognized me as a rocking grandma. Being a grandma may be my fondest role. I am fortunate to have two lovely granddaughters.
Our oldest is three years old. She is a ballerina (and soccer player).
Our youngest is about three months old. In this picture, she is telling secrets to her grandpa.

Looks promising, but not as good as the graph at the bottom implies, made by someone who thinks we don't understand log graphs.
I was being shown around a research lab at a uni where they were working on very similar stuff just the other week!
Important lesson - we can learn much from what has come before.
I don't know about promising, but interesting to go where we haven't been before. Why do you think the picture was made by someone who thinks we don't understand logarithmic scales?
Just that the point for 460GHz shoud be further to the left, roughly in the same place relative to the scale markings as the 40GHz point is.
Jin-Woo Han and Meyya Meyyappan work at NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., where Han is a research scientist and Meyyappan is chief scientist for exploration technology. The vacuum-channel transistors they describe grew out of an unrelated attempt to oxidize a single thin nanowire. "It ended up as two separate electrodes," says Han, who then realized that the botched experiment could be turned into a new kind of transistor.
several years ago, there was a push to develope vacuum digital integrated circuits for the military to use for protection from EMP. I guess they didnt really discover anything quite as new and fresh as they thought. using integrated circuit manufacturing techniques to fab vacuum tube gates, flipflops and such.
This is a great idea. Another classic example of a basic fundamental principle can solve a problem. Need a vacuum? Don't want to build a special environment? Go small.....your vacuum is there waiting for you. So size matters. This should help Moore's Law for awhile. Lower power, higher quality. It's all good. . . . Interesting concept. Here at atmospheric pressure(and gravity)...in the same space and time, there is a very strong vacuum also. Apparently....on a small scale, pressure does not have the same effect as it does in the large scale. Maybe...no effect. Is it pressure that is effecting the process inside of stars? What really happens down there? How many postulations have been made on the effect of gravitational pressure on the reactions at the nuclear level? Is it gravitational pressure that truly lights a star?
Kinda off topic, keep it on track.

What we go do?
By Anton Nimblett
Near Open Water: Stories, by Keith Jardim
(Peepal Tree Press, ISBN 9781845231880, 161 pp)
Keith Jardim. Photography by Norma Connolly, courtesy the author
Near Open Water upends any shallow notion of what should be expected from a book of short fiction by a Caribbean author — even one fronted by an inviting watercolour seascape. Yes, in each of these twelve stories set in the Caribbean — all but two in Jardim's native Trinidad and Tobago — characters interact with the sea as lens and mirror, even as foil. Yes, flora and fauna abound — Jardim employs ecology and environment as vivid metaphors. But dry season reigns: the earth is scarred, foliage is sere, dust blows, and brush fires smoke the hills. While vultures soar, hummingbirds are dying. So even though we will get a taste of rum and fete, we must remember what the opening story, "In the Atlantic Field", teaches: "Something terrible has happened, is going to happen."
In the book's title story, which appears last, Jardim's narrator — himself a writer — is holed up in a remote house on Trinidad's north coast, at work on a manuscript while the homeowners are away. Trouble arrives by sea, interrupting his daily routine of exploring landscape, seascape, and self. As in most of the collection's stories, this modern Trinidad is at once lavish and ugly, captivating and forbidding. There is a posh house, complete with a pair of boats at its private jetty; two-hundred-year-old artifacts, unearthed; a high-tech alarm system and specially trained dog; and the ever-present foreboding of crime. Jardim crafts fine suspense as we walk paths the narrator walks, perhaps just a step ahead, until the promise becomes manifest.
Though this plot is propelled by danger, the story has a notable focus on the exacting enterprise of writing. The narrator conducts an ongoing conversation of sorts with a former girlfriend via (imagined) letters that comment on his journal entries.
Your Caribbean ecological lament is dishonest, yet truth escapes somehow. Isn't that just how things are? Like water, truth gets into the most unlikely of places at the oddest of times. In dreams; when you cry in your sleep and wake to hear [the guard dog] trotting around as she waits for what will inevitably come from the sea … Shall we return to the sea? … Or do we go to bed, rise early tomorrow, and begin writing about us?
More than self-conscious reflection, these epistles — with their introspective critiques — invite careful analysis of the story, and the collection as a whole, especially when factoring in the specificity and skill of Jardim's prose. His stories are precisely structured, his language fluid, and no word seems accidental. One can, almost at random, open to passages as taut and striking as this:
The dry season had come. The days were hazed, grey-blue water colours drifting across the sky. The squared glints of light on the city buildings below him were like sections of scalpel blades: white light, white heat: the sense of everything being stripped away, exposed.
These stories do read more like exposé than travel guide or love letter. Perhaps Jardim speaks to some sense of cultural (un)awareness, asking, as his character Nello does, "if anybody know what really going on in this island." Perhaps Jardim writes as post-millennial kaisonian in a literary tent, upholding the kaiso tradition of social commentary — though we read, "this is a small island, boy, and the future not looking too hot. Party and Carnival don't solve everything." (A familiar chorus from one camp of cultural critics.) Later, in "The White People Maid", the Midnight Robber, a traditional masquerade character, makes a powerful appearance, his classic "robber talk" echoing concerns about the nation's woes, and offering a macabre history lesson:
And when the Europeans and them start to fight … fill up the sea with bodies of black and white men — and all their blood! … What a carnival of corpses became the Caribbean Sea! A rainbow of black and white and red, for all to see! — the lovely and most distinguished colours of our national flag!
To be clear, these stories, far more than heady musings, are grounded in the elements of story, and the human condition. Relationships — parent with son, grandparents with grandson, lovers, spouses, coworkers — explore moments when change hangs in the balance, and examine space where secrets tip and spill over into awareness. Yet always the interpersonal walks hand-in-hand with wider issues of nation, society, race, and almost always politics/corruption/crime — crime that runs the gamut from a drugstore stick-up to rape; from drug-smuggling and money-laundering to rogue militia home invasions; and from a car theft ring to murder. Each illegality seems linked to another: "You could work your way from parliament down, across, and back up — through every level of society — and find people looking for trouble." Yes, "All of we is one in this Trinidad when it come to corruption."
Understandable, therefore, when Jardim appears to back off with two short-shorts — "In the Cage" and "Kanaima, Late Afternoon" — that seem unconnected to modern woes. Their abstraction, like spaces of rest, contrasts with more representative drawings elsewhere in the book. Upon review, though, they read as parables, and connect to "The Jaguar", to "A Landscape Far from Home", and to the title story. What or who is the Kanaima in one story's title is left unexplained.
I am not familiar with Kanaima or jaguar lore in Trinidad, but found references connecting it to Guyana (among other places), where "A Landscape Far from Home" is set. The Kanaima — Wilson Harris published a short story with that title in 1964 — is a violent spirit on a quest to wreak vengeance, which inhabits or morphs into the body of a jaguar. Jardim enlists the image of the jaguar repeatedly, and in very deliberate ways, posing the questions: whence Kanaima, and what role will it play in time?
Other questions surface too — about race and class, for example. Jardim writes intentionally from the purview of upper-class white Trinidadians, but he effectively includes "every level of society" — also writing believably in the voice of an Afro-Trinidadian housekeeper ("White People Maid") and a custodian in a boys' home ("Fire in the City"). What does it mean that the black voices speak more directly and clearly to the ills of the country? Is there an objective in opening the collection with "In the Atlantic Field", where a young white boy writes on the beach, "I am the first person here", and a gas-station attendant with hair "like pieces of rope … red, violent eyes" violates the boy's mother? Jardim's writing is too careful, too sophisticated for easy answers to — or easy dismissal of — these questions.
Above all, Near Open Water — with its interpersonal tales, its sustained metaphors, and its sharp lens — raises questions, big questions. "What we go do, Nello, what we go do?" Jardim answers one question clearly: he affirms the writer's role as social commentator, lodestone, kaisonian. Still, I'm left wondering whether these stories — blaring alarms — are from a man who no longer loves his country at all, or — to quote the book's epigraph from Jean Rhys — "not in this moment."

Exxon Mobil Corporation v. Attorney General
Home / Issues / Powers and Duties / Powers and Duties Database / Exxon Mobil Corporation v. Attorney General
Compulsory Process, Investigatory Authority, Long-arm Statute, Personal Jurisdiction, Subpoena
Exxon Mobil Corporation v. Attorney General, 479 Mass. 312 (Mass. 2018)
Exxon's request to set aside the civil investigative demand and disqualify the attorney general was denied
The attorney general of Massachusetts sought documents from Exxon about Exxon's "historical knowledge of climate change and its communications with interest groups and shareholders regarding" climate change. Exxon sought to quash the subpoena in a state court suit against the attorney general alleging that tsubpoena violated the state constitution's protections for free speech and was arbitrary and capricious and further alleged that Exxon was not subject to personal jurisdiction in Massachusetts. The state troal court upheld the attorney general's subpoena and Exxon appealed. The Supreme Judicial Court held that there was personal jurisdiction over Exxon with respect to the attorney general's investigation and affirmed that lower court's order denying Exxon's request to set aside the civil investigative demand and disqualify the attorney general. The party challenging the CID has the burden of showing that the information requested is not described with reasonable particularity, is not relevant or is an excessive amount. None of those factors were present here. With regard to investigatory authority, the court held, "The Attorney General's belief that Exxon's conduct may violate G.L. 93A is all that is required under G. L. c. 93A, § 6 (1)." Exxon also alleged that remarks made by the attorney general at a press conference warranted disqualification of her office. The court held " The Attorney General is authorized to investigate what she believes to be violations of c. 93A. As an elected official, it is reasonable that she routinely informs her constituents of the nature of her investigations." Also see Exxon v. Schneiderman

Our Parent and Toddler group meets every Monday afternoon from 1.30-2.45 pm in the House of Clubs. Pop along to join in with lots of fun activities including water play, paint, cooking and more! There's even snacks for the toddlers and grown ups too! All this for just £1 a family. Mrs Walch and Mrs Midgley look forward to seeing you there.
After our lovely autumn walk last week we have had fun this afternoon using what we had collected (and some extra special things, like 'googly eyes') to make some fantastic pictures. They are SO amazing we are going to display them in the House of Clubs so everyone can see them!
What a wonderful woodland walk we have had this week! Some children stayed in playgroup and some went across to 'big school' to explore the woodland. We collected different types of leaves, sticks and acorns, played a game of grandmothers footsteps and sang the action rhyme '5 little leaves'. All the children joined in and were fabulous at counting! Next week we will be creating autumn pictures with the things we collected today.
We had a playdough extravaganza afternoon today! We made different types of play dough with different smells and textures. At the end of the session the children took the play dough they had made home so they could have more fun!
We were delighted to re-open our Parent and Toddler doors today for the first time this school year. 7 children came and enjoyed getting messy with gloop and the farm animals. There was also lots of threading and counting, experimenting with paints and colours and some hand prints! It was a really busy session. At sing-a-long time it was number songs today and Mrs Walch's favourite was 'Five little ducks'. We look forward to next Monday when we can have some more fun!
It was fabulous to welcome 8 children and their grown ups to the House of Clubs this week. Everyone had great fun and we have discovered we have some amazing artists!
