ZK Marine Inc v MV Archigetis
CaseID:
CMI1580
ZK Marine Inc and Southern Offshore Yachts Inc (the plaintiffs) had previously brought an admiralty action against the carrier and its agents (the defendants) seeking to recover for damage to four yachts and the loss of one yacht carried on deck during ocean transit. On 8 January 1991, this Court held that 46 USC ss 1300 ff (COGSA), with its USD 500 per package limitation on carrier liability, did not apply by force of law in this case because COGSA does not automatically extend to goods carried on deck. However, the Court went on to hold, based on the language of the bills of lading, that the parties had contractually extended COGSA's provisions to the shipment. Partial summary judgment was therefore granted to the defendants, limiting their liability to USD 500 per yacht. The plaintiff now moves the Court to reconsider its 8 January 1991 opinion, asserting that the Court erred in its original determination of the facts and law of this case.
Held: Motion denied.
While the Court remains confident that its conclusion was correct, it recognises that some of the language of its 1991 opinion was confusing and may have caused the plaintiffs to believe that the Court had misapprehended the law or the parties' arguments. The order stated:
The language of the paramount clause in the bills of lading does not directly refer to COGSA. Rather, it appears to require that the Hague or Hague/Visby Rules be applied. The Hague Rules were, however, codified in COGSA. Thus the parties appear to have stipulated by contract that COGSA would apply to these bills of lading. Accordingly, this Court finds that COGSA applies to this situation.
While the result that COGSA applies is correct, COGSA is not identical to either the Hague or the Hague Visby Rules, and the Court did not mean to imply that COGSA applies for that reason. Rather, COGSA controls because the paramount clause, cl 3, read in conjunction with cll 9 and 18, evidences the parties' intent to extend COGSA to this contract for the on-deck carriage of the five yachts.
COGSA is the US codification of the original Hague Rules and is generally applicable to goods shipped from foreign ports to ports in the United States: 46 USC §§ 1300-1315; Sunkist Growers Inc v Adelaide Shipping Lines Ltd 603 F 2d 1327 (9th Cir 1979) cert denied, 444 US 1012, 100 S Ct 659, 62 L Ed 2d 640 (1980). It is undisputed that COGSA does not apply ex proprio vigore to this contract because the definition of 'goods' provided in 46 USC § 1301(c) does not include carriage of 'on-deck' cargo. Nonetheless, it is well established that COGSA can be extended to contracts to which it does not apply of its own force if the parties so agree: Colgate Palmolive Co v S/S Dart Canada 724 F 2d 313 (2d Cir 1983), cert den 466 US 963, 104 S Ct 2181, 80 L Ed 2d 562 (1984); Pannell v The American Flyer 157 F Supp 422 (SDNY 1957), mod 263 F 2d 497 (2d Cir 1959), cert denied 359 US 1013, 79 S Ct 1151, 3 L Ed 2d 1037 (1959). The defendants contend that although COGSA does not apply ex proprio vigore, the bills of lading evidence the parties' agreement to extend COGSA to this contract. The plaintiffs counter that the Harter Act applies, or in the alternative, that the Hague or Hague-Visby Rules govern.
The plaintiffs contend that even if the Court was not mistaken about the applicable law or facts, reconsideration is appropriate because the Court's order is inconsistent with the Eleventh Circuit precedent established by Insurance Co of North America v M/V Ocean Lynx 901 F 2d 934 (11th Cir 1990), cert den 498 US 1025, 111 S Ct 675, 112 L Ed 2d 667 (1991) (CMI1438). That case directly addressed the issue of extending COGSA to acts and circumstances not mandated by its language. However, the Ocean Lynx opinion simply sets out the 'notice and opportunity' test that courts, including this Court, have been using for some time. The Ocean Lynx Court held that to contractually extend COGSA's liability limitation the carrier must:
give the shipper adequate notice of the USD 500 liability limitation by including a paramount clause in the bill of lading expressly adopting the provisions of COGSA, and
give the shipper a fair opportunity to avoid COGSA's liability limitation by declaring excess value.
Both prongs of this two-part test were met by the carrier in the instant case.
The paramount clause in the bill of lading, cl 3, reads as follows:
This Bill of Lading shall have effect subject to the provisions of any legislation incorporating the Rules contained in the International Convention for the Unification of certain rules relating to Bills of Lading dated Brussels, August 25th 1924 (the Hague Rules) or those Rules as amended by the Protocol signed at Brussels February 23rd 1968 (the Hague Visby Rules) and which is compulsorily applicable to the contract of carriage contained herein. If no such legislation is compulsorily applicable, the Hague Rules or, if applicable, the Hague Visby Rules as enacted in the country of the port of loading shall apply. When no such enactment is in force in the country of the port of loading, the corresponding legislation of the country of the port of discharge shall apply and in the absence of any such legislation, the terms of the 1924 Convention as amended by the 1968 Protocol shall apply.
The parties agree that subcl 1 does not control because no legislation is compulsorily applicable to this contract. Subclause 2 then dictates that the Hague or Hague-Visby Rules as enacted in the country of the port of loading be applied. Taiwan (the country of the port of loading) has not enacted legislation corresponding to either the Hague or the Hague-Visby Rules, so subcl 2 is inapplicable as well. Thus, subcl 3 which requires resort to the corresponding legislation of the country of the port of discharge will control. The plaintiffs do not dispute that the country of the port of discharge is the US, or that COGSA is the 'corresponding legislation' enacted in the US to codify the original Hague Rules. Thus, if the bills of lading meet the requirements established in the Ocean Lynx test, COGSA will apply.
The first prong of the Ocean Lynx test requires that the shipper give adequate notice of the USD 500 liability limitation by including a paramount clause in the bill of lading expressly adopting the provisions of COGSA. The plaintiffs argued that 'expressly' means that the terms 'COGSA' or 'Carriage of Goods by Sea Act' must appear in the paramount clause. This argument represents an unreasonably narrow reading of the Ocean Lynx holding. The Court's intention was to warn shippers that COGSA contains a USD 500 liability limitation and to inform them that they may avoid the limitation by declaring excess value and paying an increased sum. The decision was not an attempt to force carriers to describe in explicit detail the applicable law in the paramount clause of every bill of lading.
The second part of the Ocean Lynx test was undoubtedly satisfied by the carrier in the instant case. The plaintiffs argue that the liability limitation provision must be set out in the paramount clause itself. This is clearly wrong.The paramount clause is a general provision which identifies the governing law. It is not a place to delineate specific provisions of that law. The carrier can meet the notice and fair opportunity requirements simply by incorporating COGSA into the bill of lading and publishing a tariff with the Federal Maritime Commission that provides the shipper with the opportunity to declare excess value.
In this case, the carrier has gone far beyond what is required for notice and opportunity. In capital letters on the face of the bills of lading it states: 'VALUE OF GOODS MAY BE DECLARED PROVIDED MERCHANT GIVES PRIOR NOTICE AND AGREES TO PAY GREATER FREIGHT AD VALOREM BASIS SEE CL 18 ON BACK HEREOF.' Clause 18 addresses 'Limitation of Value' and explicitly spells out the USD 500 limitation on carrier liability in language almost identical to that used in COGSA. The plaintiffs' argument that they were not notified of the liability limitation and afforded the opportunity to declare higher value is therefore obviously without merit.
The plaintiffs further argue that COGSA was not clearly and unambiguously extended to this contract for the on-deck carriage of the yachts. For COGSA to apply to an on-deck shipment, it must be plain from the face of the bill of lading both that this is a contract for on-deck carriage and that COGSA is to be applied. Clause 9 of the bill of lading addresses on-deck carriage of goods, and makes it clear that the carrier may limit its liability consistent with the terms of the bill of lading and applicable law, be it the Hague or Hague Visby Rules or 'any such legislation', ie COGSA. It is undisputed that the contract at issue was for on-deck shipment and was marked 'ON DECK AT SHIPPER'S RISK'. Clause 9 appears approximately five inches below the paramount clause in the same column and on the same side of the page on the face of each bill of lading. Reading the two clauses together it is apparent that the parties agreed to extend COGSA's provisions to this contract.
Taken as a whole, cll 3, 9, and 18 of the bills of lading evidence a clear intent to subject the parties to the COGSA USD 500 liability limitation. The bills of lading were short and the parties were all relatively experienced shippers.
The outcome of this case may well have been different given a different factual situation. The Court does not mean to imply that a carrier would never be required to spell out more explicitly what law and what provisions of that law apply to a given contract. In fact, the most prudent policy would of course be to include such detailed language in every bill of lading. However, such a requirement would unduly burden large international shipping companies and their clients who routinely use standard form bills of lading in their dealings. Here the plaintiffs made a business decision not to pay a higher rate for increased coverage, and they should not now be permitted to avoid the consequences of that decision.

Greater Bilby baby boom at Taronga Sanctuary in Dubbo
It's a Greater Bilby baby boom at the Taronga Sanctuary in Dubbo, with 19 joeys born to the conservation breeding program since it commenced in mid-October 2019.
Five joeys are already completely independent from their mothers and weigh between 500 – 700g each, whilst all seven adult females in the Sanctuary are carrying twins at different stages of development.
"We are truly amazed at the success of the program to date, especially considering the drought conditions our region experienced over the summer. During this time we provided extra supplement feeding to ensure the Bilbies were able to cope with the conditions," said Greater Bilby Keeper, Steve Kleinig.
"Now that Dubbo has received some good rainfall over the past three months and the habitat in the Sanctuary has improved significantly, we are seeing the Bilbies gaining weight and all are now breeding."
Greater Bilby joeys remain in the pouch for around 75 days. When they emerge from the pouch they continue to be cared for by mum for a further 14 days. After this time the joeys leave the natal burrow and are completely independent.
Greater Bilbies are capable of breeding from five months of age for a female and eight months of age for a male, but this is dependent on the individuals reaching a certain weight.
"Once mature, Greater Bilbies can breed up to four times a year if the conditions are favourable, meaning they need adequate habitat and food supply," said Mr Kleinig.
"The success of Taronga's conservation breeding program in the Sanctuary to date is a positive step towards the long-term survival of this species and to helping bring Greater Bilbies back to NSW, where they have been extinct in the wild for 100 years."\
Environment Minister Matt Kean said it's thanks to initiatives such as this, that we can bring back the loved and iconic Bilbies that have been extinct in the wild in NSW for over 100 years.
"Through the NSW Government's Saving Our Species program, this partnership with Taronga will ensure future generations can see these unique animals in NSW for many years to come.
"We have an opportunity to bring them back to NSW national parks by using special fenced off areas and it's important we do this," Mr Kean said.
Greater Bilbies can have up to three pouch young, although one or two joeys is more common. Greater Bilbies are pregnant for 12 – 14 days. Female Greater Bilbies have a backward opening pouch so that it does not fill with dirt whilst they are digging.
"Later this year we will add more adults to population in the Sanctuary to increase the genetic diversity of the group further. It is then hoped that in 2021 we will be able to release Greater Bilbies back into the wild as part of the Wild Desert project.
The Wild Desert project, led by UNSW, is part of the NSW Government's Saving Our Species program that addresses the growing number of plants and animals in NSW facing extinction.
The 110ha Taronga Sanctuary is located behind-the-scenes at Taronga Western Plains Zoo Dubbo and is now home to 15 Greater Bilby adults and 19 Greater Bilby joeys of varying ages. The Taronga Sanctuary is home to the conservation breeding programs for the Greater Bilby and Plains-wanderer. For more information visit www.taronga.org.au/dubbo.

Who pays for the children's college in a divorce?
When couples with minor children separate, they frequently have significant discussions and negotiations about the moral obligation that both parties have to provide financial assistance for their children's college education. In North Carolina, divorcing parents have no legal obligation to support a child beyond age 18 or high school graduation. However, many parents recognize a moral obligation to pay all or a portion of their child's college expenses.
When a couple separates, the parent with the more sizeable income is frequently expected to agree to pay all or most of the college expenses. However, the court cannot make them do so, and if they do agree to such an obligation, both parties must full consent in the form of a Consent Agreement. When the parties do agree to pay college expenses for a child beyond the age of 18, they have then created a legal obligation that did not exist before. Consequently the lawyer representing the party who is undertaking such an obligation must be very careful in crafting the terms of the language that is used in the agreement defining the obligation.
Typically most college expense payment agreements are very specifically defined and limited to reasonable room, board, tuition, books, and even perhaps reasonable transportation. Further, it is usually limited to a period of four or five years following high school graduation.
A recent North Carolina Court of Appeals case involved a claim by some adult children against their father for their room, board, and tuition when they were in their mid-20s. In that case, the daughter had actually married and was living in a home that she and her husband purchased but was still insisting that her father provide room and board to her since she was attending local college as a day student. Likewise, the son, had never gone to college full time but was still insisting that his father pay a portion of his room and board since he was attending college part time online.
The problem in that case related back to the original Separation Agreement signed in January 1989. To say the least, the agreement was poorly drafted in that it did not limit the father's obligation to pay tuition, but instead said that the father "would be responsible for the payment of any and all expenses necessary for the education of either of the minor children should they desire to attend a school beyond high school." The language did not limit or define the expenses that were to be paid and, most importantly, did not have a termination date as to when the father would no longer be obligated for such payments. Fortunately, for the father, the Trial Court and the Court of Appeals applied reason and logic to the 1989 agreement and determined that the father had no obligation to pay room and board for his adult children under those circumstances.
To avoid having to litigate such a contentious issue well into the future, parties who are separating will be well-served to carefully decide their legal obligation to pay educational expenses for a child beyond high school, and if they agree to do so, they need to carefully define what the obligation is and put a termination date on the obligation.

A long-standing debate amongst wine pros and wine glass manufacturers has been whether and when size matters.
A group of researchers at the Tokyo Medical and Dental University decided to take up the subject so they would become the "busters" or "truthers" as to whether wineglass size has any effect upon the taste of the wine.
First, before raising our glasses and getting into arm wrestle position, a few guidelines: The scientific researchers used different glass shapes as well as sizes, including a Martini glass and a straight tumbler – and heated them to different temperatures.
Then, now here's the geeky part, in order to measure the vapors emanating from the glasses, the researchers impregnated a mesh with the enzyme, alcohol oxidase, which converts low molecular weight alcohols and oxygen into aldehydes and hydrogen peroxide. Added onto the mesh were luminol and (stay with me, now) horseradish peroxidase, which creates a bright luminescence and color change when combined with hydrogen peroxide. It seems this combo of chemicals intensifies the coloration, making it easier to "see" the vapors with a special camera. Any of us that watch the show, "CSI", will see this process in each episode as part of how they crack a case!
Now, the fun part. At 55° F / 13° C, the alcohol concentration in the center of the WINE glass was lower than that around the rim. When wine was served at a higher temperature, or from either the MARTINI glass or TUMBLER, there was no ring-shaped pattern visible. This "ring phenomenon" (be sure and click to see the video!) allows us to enjoy the wine's aroma without interference from the gaseous ethanol.
"…accordingly, wine glass shape has a very sophisticated functional design for tasting and enjoying wine," explains Kohji Mitsubayashi, the lead scientist on the project.
Graphic shows surface area of wine, aroma lifting and thin gauge of wine glass.
Additionally, the larger the wine glass and the thinner the gauge of the glass contribute to the aroma and bouquet qualities that wine lovers chase. Proving this is when size and shape matter.
Here's a DIY for amazing yourself and friends. First, privately, pour about 3″ to 4" of wine into a variety of 3 or 4 glasses, say a wine glass from Riedel, a mason jar, a Martini glass, a heavy-rimmed, thick wine goblet, etc. You're looking for size, shape and thickness differences.
Tell your friends that you have several wines you want them to taste blindfolded. Now blindfold one person at a time and mix up the order of the glasses and then help them to smell and sip a bit of the wine. Be careful not to allow them to touch the glass to try and determine what its size/shape may be. Mark down their reaction to each vessel. It will be hard to keep everyone's reaction silent, but worth the effort.
Amazingly, each time, the "blind taster" will select the wine from the appropriate tulip-shaped, thinnest glass as their favorite. Then you can tell them it was all the same wine. Case closed.
Conclusion: Size does matter, as does shape.

CALABRIA TOURS was born out of the recognition that the most beautiful area of Italy is rarely seen by tourists. There are over 25,000,000 people worldwide that can trace their ancestry to an area that forms the toe of the boot-like landmass that is Italy. This area is now known as Calabria.
While dining in Calabria, A gentleman by the name of Rick Coroniti, an American travel agency owner, was introduced to the restaurant's owner, Peppe Piroso, who was born and raised in Calabria. They discussed the history and culture of Calabria, and also the fact that even though it was such a beautiful area, it was always by-passed by the commercial tour operators. A year after that meeting, Piroso relocated his family to Philadelphia, where the two men met once again. Their second meeting ultimately led to the concept of a tour program which was named "Back To Our Roots". Since America was experiencing a heightened interest in genealogy, the focus of "Back To Our Roots" was to have first and second generation Calabrians return to their ancestral villages and towns, where they could then gather authentic genealogy information and perhaps even meet unknown relatives.
Originally, the intent was to have a single "Back To Our Roots" tour per year, with no two itineraries being the same. The first tour was so successful that more than 30% of the travelers on the first tour also took the second tour, this time bringing along their parents and relatives. Since then, we have had numerous requests to plan more tours and to visit other areas. In response, later tours began in Calabria but also included Sicily, along with Sorrento, Rome and the northern areas of Assisi and Perugia.
All of our tour itineraries are designed to bring tourists into areas that they would not usually get to see with other tour companies. If you are the type of traveler who seeks not only the usual tourist attractions, but also wants to experience the diversity in the food, music and culture of the "local" Italians , we think that you will enjoy touring with CALABRIA TOURS.

The definitive guide to audited accounts by the FRC
Brian Bollen 12:06, 30 July 2017 Features
For traders News and features Features The definitive guide to audited accounts by the FRC
The definitive guide to the meaning of audited accounts is displayed prominently in a new report from the Financial Reporting Council (FRC). It is on the inside front cover. Unmissable. And no one reading it, whether auditor, investor or lender, will be left in any doubt.
High quality audit provides investors and other stakeholders with a high level of assurance that the financial statements of an entity give a true and fair view, and provide a reliable and trustworthy basis for taking decisions, says the definition.
Auditors carrying out high quality audit act with integrity and objectivity, are demonstrably independent and do not act in a way that risks compromising stakeholders' perceptions of that independence, it continues.
Quality audit according to the FRC
High quality audit complies with both the spirit and the letter of regulation and is supported by rigorous due process and quality assurance, intones the FRC. It clearly demonstrates how it reflects investor and other stakeholder expectations.
It is driven by a robust risk assessment informed by a thorough understanding of the entity and its environment, and provides challenge, transparency and insight in a clear and unambiguous way.
High quality audit provides a strong deterrent effect against actions that may not be in the public interest, underpins stakeholder confidence, and drives continuous improvement.
Quality audited accounts provide assurance
High quality audit provides investors and other stakeholders with a high level of assurance that the financial statements of an entity give a true and fair view, and provide a reliable and trustworthy basis for taking decisions.
Auditors carrying out high quality audit act with integrity and objectivity, are demonstrably independent and do not act in a way that risks compromising stakeholders' perceptions of that independence.
High quality audit complies with both the spirit and the letter of regulation and is supported by rigorous due process and quality assurance. It clearly demonstrates how it reflects investor and other stakeholder expectations, is driven by a robust risk assessment.
Informed by understanding
This risk assessment is informed by a thorough understanding of the entity and its environment. It provides challenge, transparency and insight in a clear and unambiguous way, continues the FRC.
The official release accompanying the report says that a focus on, and investment in, improving audit account quality, together with promoting a culture of continuous improvement, is beginning to pay off.
Targetted improvement
Sue Almond, courtesy of Grant Thornton
The FRC says that this is particularly the case for the audited accounts of larger companies where it has targetted improvement. However, it says, the picture is not consistent across all firms, market sectors and audit procedures.
Sue Almond, head of assurance at Grant Thornton UK LLP, agrees that audited accounts are improving, adding that there still areas where more improvements can take place.
"But look at the underlying reasons for financial statements, which include creating investor confidence in markets, and things look good." She adds that now, though, could be an opportune moment to step back and reassess the role of audited accounts.
Investing in audited accounts improvement
Melanie McLaren, the FRC's executive director for audit and actuarial regulation, says that firms are investing in improvement measures, and those audit committees that have been surveyed report that they are seeing evidence of good quality audit.
High profile accounting failures, as well as the results of audit monitoring, continue to highlight cases where auditors have not met expectations. This is where the FRC finds the greatest number of issues. The £755m scandal at BT Italia springs immediately to mind.
The FRC says that greater transparency of audit has been achieved through extended reporting, now being rolled out for more audits. Broadened perspectives on audit quality ensure a focus on sustained improvement, it adds.
FRC has a bite as well as a bark
The FRC has something of a bite as well as a bark, having enhanced its enforcement. It says it has issued more than £14.2m of sanctions. Details of enforcement fines on auditors and audit firms in 2016/17 are included in the report.
The FRC sets out the outcomes and lessons to be learnt from concluded investigations into badly audited accounts. The case studies contained in the report, taking the Cattles specialist finance company as an example, often make for interesting reading.
A settlement was agreed in August 2016 by PwC and a Mr Bradburn, audit engagement partner, in relation to the audit of Cattles plc and Welcome Financial Services Limited. Both PwC and Bradburn admitted their conduct fell significantly short of expected standards.
Cattles overstatement
The charges and comments related financial statements of both companies for the year ended 31 December 2007. These statements were restated in May 2010, indicating income had been overstated by £42.6m and loans and receivables had been overstated.
The amount involved was £287.2m. PwC and Bradburn ultimately agreed that in issuing unqualified audit opinions in respect of these financial statements, they:
Had insufficient audit evidence as to the adequacy of the loan loss provision
Had failed to identify the fact that the impairment policy was not adequately disclosed and that the disclosures in those financial statements were not in compliance with IFRS 7
The parties agreed to the following settlement
Both received a severe reprimand
PwC were fined £3,500,000 discounted for settlement to £2,300,000
Bradburn was fined £120,000 discounted for settlement to £75,600
PwC agreed to pay £750,000 as a contribution to the FRC's costs
A sum of £100,000 to be paid as a contribution to the Executive Counsel's costs
Tectonic plates shifting
The signs are that tectonic plates might be starting to shift. The FRC notes that in total 213 (61%) of the FTSE 350 have announced they have completed a tendering exercise in the past six years and 74% of tenders have resulted in the appointment of a new audit firm.
This is in line with EU rules that came into force in 2016. McLaren notes that these require re-tendering every 10 years and rotation every 10 years. This compares with the status quo ante in which PwC in one form or another audited Barclays for nearly 150 years, she adds.
This in itself demonstrates the significance of the 74% statistic. Competition fans might be disappointed though. Overall, the Big Four firms have increased their total share of FTSE 350 audit market from 95% to 97% (based on the number of audit clients).
Big four movement
"Movement has increased between the Big Four but not beyond the Big Four," notes Sue Almond of Grant Thornton. She adds that Grant Thornton itself is increasing its non-audit workload with larger companies.
The monitoring of audit performance will continue under the FRC for the foreseeable future. Driving up quality is at the core of its existence. But whatever the industry says, one persistent nagging doubt remains.
The world of business has become hideously complex. The changing nature of transactions and payments can make it difficult to apply traditional measures. However hard-working and honest auditors might be, is doing their job simply moving beyond them?

Stick close to your teammates as much as possible and try to keep the enemy from surrounding you.
Don't venture out on your own, even if your teammates are all dead and waiting to be freed. Focus on getting them back in the fight.
Look for Tomes and Grimoires throughout the level. Picking these items up and carrying them to the end will grant you additional loot score, allowing you to get a better chest during Renald's Gift.
Remember that Grimoire's cannot be dropped, and if you pick up an item that replaces them, you'll lose the Grimoire for the rest of the level.
If you want to maximize experience and your loot score in Renald's Gift, then try using the Quickplay option instead of choosing your individual mission. Not only will you be teamed up with a party, but you'll also get some additional loot score at the end of the mission.
Block using the right mouse button to keep enemy attacks from hitting you.
You can push enemies back to keep them from circling around you and locking you into place.

More considerate notifications and screen time management are on the way.
Apple is making good on its promise to fight iPhone addiction. It's introducing a suite of features in iOS 12 that curb the deluge of notifications and alerts that keep you hooked. To start, it's much smarter about how and when it displays notifications. You'll finally, finally see grouped notifications (no more wading through 10 alerts for the same app), for one thing. Do Not Disturb mode can silence all your notifications, too, so you're not tempted to check updates if you wake up in the middle of the night. You can also quickly manage notifications for an app, including an option to "deliver quietly" so that your device won't ping you every single time.
Accordingly, there are new tools to help manage screen time both for yourself and your family. You'll get reports on your usage to show when you used your phones and which apps commanded your attention. And if you need to curb an Instagram habit, you can set App Limits that will warn you when you reach a daily usage quota -- with kids, you can even set time allowances that prevent them from simply ignoring the warnings.
Some of the concepts here aren't strictly new. Google's Android P will rein in your digital activity as well. However, it's hard to complain -- it's an acknowledgment that the constant attention grabbing of modern devices can sometimes hurt more than it helps.


As the name suggests, these funds specialise in certain areas. This may include particular regions like India or Latin America, or specific themes like technology or healthcare. If you're after very targeted exposure to a favourite area, you may find what you're looking for among these sectors.


The release represents a complete rethink about what it means to compile and commission music in the streaming era – and the tracks and seductively dark atmospheres conjured as a result are exploring all kinds of new sonic territory, too. In short, the cream of leftfield electronic talent have been given a brief: to take the phrase "in Death's dream kingdom", or the whole of TS Elliot's poem The Hollow Men from which it comes, as inspiration.
The resulting 25 tracks will be released, day by day, together with further artist information (click the 'Artist & Track Info' button), to build into the full work. Not an album in the traditional sense, certainly more than just a playlist, it brings together a seriously diverse array of talents into a coherent whole with a vivid aesthetic reverberating through it. It occupies a similar space to the great home listening electronica acts of the 90s – Future Sound Of London, Global Communication, the Artificial Intelligence axis – but there are no throwbacks here: this is radical in sound and thought. Dark music for dark times.

GM mulls building Saabs in U.S, may possibly encourage Saab-Subaru relationship
By DOROTHEE OSTLE | Automotive News Europe
General Motors is considering assembling Saab vehicles in the United States as part of a plan to bolster the ailing Swedish automaker.
GM CEO Rick Wagoner said in an interview here that he also is considering a closer relationship between Saab and Subaru, a GM affiliate. Saab dealers in the United States could get a version of the Subaru WRX wagon.
In other words, Wagoner is looking at a dramatic new business model for Saab, in which the brand would break away from its parochial Swedish roots. GM might have focused too much on preserving Saab's brand character and not enough on saving the company, Wagoner said.
Producing Saabs outside Sweden and giving Saab dealers products that have been developed by other GM divisions or affiliates would build on the restructuring program known as Viggen, which is Swedish for "thunderbolt."
Saab Automobile AB CEO Peter Augustsson said employees will be presented with a restructuring plan this month that will cut 800 jobs and eliminate one shift at the 9-5 assembly plant in Trollhattan, Sweden.
Saab executives started Viggen six months ago. "They have got to pick up the pace on it, but it's moving quite good," Wagoner said.
Saab's product development cost as a percentage of revenue is twice as high as other GM divisions. Viggen aims to fold Saab's independent product development and manufacturing operations into Opel. In total, Saab will slash about 1,400 jobs - some 14 percent of its work force. Saab plans to move its annual break-even point to 130,000 vehicles, from 140,000 units.
Augustsson said Saab plans to sell about 135,000 vehicles worldwide this year and eventually get to 200,000. Last year, Saab sold 120,800 vehicles globally.
But it is Wagoner's long-term thinking about Saab that would have the most impact on the struggling brand's future.
Saab sold just 37,805 vehicles in the United States in 2002, below Land Rover and ahead of Mini in the brand rankings. Saab's best year in the U.S. market was 1986 when it sold 48,181 vehicles.
Punished by exchange
Saab is being punished by currency exchanges, Wagoner said.
He said it's not a good long-term business model to build cars in one currency and sell them in another currency.
"That needs to be worked on, and we have some pretty clear ideas on how to do that," Wagoner said.
For instance, Saab could change its product philosophy. It may no longer develop products suitable for all its markets, Wagoner said. In other words, GM could assemble Saabs in the United States for sale only in U.S. showrooms.
"There is this idea of maybe having specific Saab products that are sold only in North America, others that are sold only in Europe," Wagoner said.
If there are specific Saab products for the U.S. market, local production of these cars becomes a consideration, he said.
"I wouldn't rule it out at all. If you look at the evolution of what is acceptable within the industry, it is no longer required that all BMWs be produced in Germany, for example."
Wagoner wouldn't say where Saabs might be built. "We're not that far into it yet, but there are a lot of options," he said. "Good options."
Saab, meet Subaru
GM also is considering closer cooperation between Saab and Subaru, a GM affiliate.
Subaru dealers in the United States were up in arms last month at the annual convention of the National Automobile Dealers Association over discussions between Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (Subaru) and GM about whether to give Saab a version of Subaru's Impreza WRX wagon. A Subaru spokesman in the United States said a feasibility study is under way.
Said Wagoner: "I don't think we made any announcement on it yet, but clearly (a Saab-Subaru relationship) appeals to us as an opportunity that perhaps helps both partners. The product characteristics, while in some ways different, in some ways there are a lot of similarities to the philosophy of product. This is an area we want to explore."

Have you got a certain look or style that makes you feel great?
Or perhaps a certain colour that when you wear it, never fails to make you feel you could take on the world?
For me, apart from red lipstick to brighten up my days, I'm loving a good all in one, a jumpsuit or dungarees.
It's been a bit of a slow burner for me, my affair with the jumpsuit. Partly due the fact I could never find one with the right proportions for my shape. But I've now got a small collection of all in one's and I just love wearing them.
I'm wearing a vest underneath as the straps are a little thin and loose for my liking, and also because June has been a bit chilly at times!
Wearing a jumpsuit is a super easy way to get dressed. Minimum effort maximum effect, which for me is a no brainer. I've never been a massive fan of separates- too many complex outfit decisions. (Apart from jeans, obviously, which work with anything).
I find jumpsuits so practical, much more so than dresses. I can still crawl around on the floor with the kids, I feel ready for anything when wearing them, probably because I'm not thinking about my outfit.
Jumpsuits can be dressed up or down so easily. But the main selling point for me is fuss free outfits. I've enough things going on without having to worry if something is riding up or slipping down.
I'd love to know if you are a lover of the all in one like me… There's no going back now, I cant see myself getting bored of them!
Definitely-I'm the same in that it took me forever to find the right fit for me, but love wearing them now!
I have so many jumpsuits and playsuits. They are fab for working on location and when I am on the go, as they are really comfy but they still look really chic too. Mine are all plain but might brave a patterned one, now I have seen yours.
You look lovely in that jumpsuit. I would never have the confidence to wear one at my age. I should imagine they are really comfy to wear though.
I haven't yet. I've tried a few on but they don't seem to suit me. The quest continues…..
You look lovely in them. Jump suits really suit you. I can remember the red Blogtacular one you wore right? I tried on a really lovely Jumpsuit from a shop in King's road 2 Summers ago. It was the only jumpsuit that suited me and didn't make me look short. Oh how I wished I bought it then.
Aw thanks so much Geraldine! Yes the red boiler suit… You totally should go back for it!
That jumpsuit looks great on you! I'm loving all the great prints around this season and this is no exception.
That's a really nice and summery look on you. The jacket adds a nice touch to it.
i love this look on you!!! you look so casual and happy, but also just really chic!

Q: ReCAPTCHA not working when using AJAX I was getting spam emails from my contact form so I added googles ReCAPTCHA to my contact form. After lots of tries and fails, I am at a point of asking for help.
First, my HTML is in a reveal and calls the ajaxsubmit.php

Contact Us

            <form id="ajax-contact" method="post" action="/assets/js/ajaxsubmit.php" class="large-12 cell">

                  Name*
                  <input id="name" name="name" required type="text" placeholder="Name..." />

                  Company*
                  <input id="company" type="text" placeholder="Company..." name="company" required/>

                  Email*
                  <input id="email" type="email" placeholder="Email..." name="email" required />

                  Phone*
                  <input id="phone" type="tel" placeholder="Phone..." name="phone" required/>

                  Message*
                  <textarea id="message" placeholder="Message..." name="message" required></textarea>

                  <button class="button float-right" type="submit">Submit</button>

            </form>

          <button class="close-button" data-close aria-label="Close reveal" type="button"> × </button>

After the user completes the form and the recaptcha my ajax.js file grabs it when they click submit and prevents default action.
$(function() {
var form = $("#ajax-contact");
var formMessages = $("#form-messages");
//We set our own custom submit function
$(form).submit(function(event) {
//Prevent the default behavior of a form
event.preventDefault();
//Get the values from the form
var name = $("#name").val();
var company = $("#company").val();
var phone = $("#phone").val();
var email = $("#email").val();
var message = $("#message").val();
//AJAX POST
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/assets/js/ajaxsubmit.php",
data: {
name: name,
company: company,
email: email,
phone: phone,
message: message,
captcha: grecaptcha.getResponse()}
}).done(function(response) {
$(formMessages).removeClass("error");
$(formMessages).addClass("success");
// Set the message text.
$(formMessages).text(response);
// Clear the form.
$("#name").val("");
$("#company").val("");
$("#phone").val("");
$("#email").val("");
$("#message").val("");
}).fail(function(data) {
// Make sure that the formMessages div has the "error" class.
$(formMessages).removeClass("success");
$(formMessages).addClass("error");
// Set the message text.
if (data.responseText !== "") {
    $(formMessages).text(data.responseText);
} else {
    $(formMessages).text("Oops! An error occured and your message could not be sent.");
}
});
});
});

After the Ajax.js it gets posted VIA the Ajax jquery function $.ajax to my ajaxsubmit.php file.

Now this is where my issue lies it never gets past the very first if statement if(isset($_POST['captcha']) && !empty($_POST['captcha'])) and goes straight to Please click the ReCAPTCHA box.   If I Echo the captcha var it has data in it. So I don't understand why it won't continue into the first if statement any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!

A: I think the problem is $_POST['captcha']
From the google dev site
g-recaptcha-response POST parameter when the user submits the form on your site
grecaptcha.getResponse(opt_widget_id) after the user completes the reCAPTCHA challenge
As a string argument to your callback function if data-callback is specified in either
the g-recaptcha tag attribute or the callback parameter in the grecaptcha.render method

on the recaptcha website you find details on how to validate the recaptcha itself:

We're just about to embark on a long weekend here in the States, so why not kick back and enjoy a bright and refreshing cocktail - not too sweet, not too boozy, with a hint of earthiness from the garden.

Being negative and proud
Emil Amok!
By: Emil Guillermo - @inquirerdotnet
INQUIRER.NET U.S. Bureau / 10:56 AM December 28, 2021
A used coronavirus disease (COVID-19) rapid test with negative result is pictured during pandemic lockdown, in Berlin, Germany, March 31, 2021. REUTERS/Fabrizio Bensch/File Photo
I'm in a negative mood to end 2021, and I hope I stay that way forever. At least, on all my Covid tests.
Have you been able to get your hands on any of the so-called rapid antigen tests? They're not as rapidly available when you need one. The 500,000 free ones promised by the government probably won't be around until next month. And that makes it hard to answer the basic question everyone needs to know if you're going to be socially engaged. The question? "Are you infected with the virus?"
If you have symptoms, a test is likely to be about 90-93 percent accurate, according to reports. Good enough to know when to stay away from you, and vice versa.
The tests have been somewhat of an afterthought. But now people are realizing tests are something everyone needs. Especially the un-vaccinated. They're the ones ending up in the hospital. If you're not morally responsible enough to get vaccinated and boosted, then at least test.
A test trumps a vaccine card. Only a test gives us the data right now on just how sick and infectious you really are.
So, for Christmas, I was negative. Like my blood type, the aspirational B-Negative.
I still didn't want to hang out or be with even small crowds of people.
I am so negative when it comes to this virus, I'm doing all I can to stay "not positive," perhaps thinking I can fool Omicron grammatically by avoiding being "not not negative."
By the way, you know it's pronounced "Awe-mee-kron," from the Greek, right. Not "Oh-Mee-Kron."
This is what being isolated doing internet talk shows in a closet does to you.
I don't like to get sick. And as they say, I am in the age group with the highest death rates. Of course, I'm on the young side of the demo. But why tempt fate?
So I listen to all the South Asian American medical talking heads on TV and try to be conservative for once. I stay in. I canceled plans for Christmas and New Year's. I even told my family to stay away.
Of course, I would like to see and be with you all.
But I'm not tired or fatigued by living with the virus and its variants. My mother lived in Japanese-occupied Manila during WWII. Others have lived in or are refugees from war-torn societies. I just acknowledge this aspect of war.
Dr. Anthony Fauci agrees with me.
"We just got to hang in there," Fauci said on CNN before Christmas. "We can't give up. We're at a war."
He's game for the analogy. "It's sort of like in the beginning of World War II when we were losing all the battles, and we were getting pushed back on the Pacific front and on the Europe front. If we had said, "Oh my goodness, we're all fatigued, let's give up, that would not have been a good thing."
He has a point, no?
"We are at war with a formidable enemy, and we're going to win the war because we're better than the virus."
Yes, a virus needs a host, and we have AirBnb. Still, we don't all have the smarts enough to make the right choices. And that's why we need the pep talk.
And if you're un-vaccinated, what are you doing in this war without the best weapons? You have a Second Amendment right to get armed—- in your arms. Roll up those sleeves, show off your big guns and jab up. Get with the program.
Even the No. 1 pusher of the "Big Lie" is vaccinated.
Time for us all to work together to fight this. It's been nearly two years. 815,000 Americans have died. Time to get serious about this war.
URTULA FAMILY VALUES
Omicron determined I would stay away from family gatherings this season for public health reasons.
But the family mental health lesson for the season comes from the Urtula family, Filipino Americans from New Jersey. It is the family of Alex Urtula, the late Boston College student goaded into committing suicide after 18 months of dating, and getting more than 10,000 text messages from his girlfriend, Inyoung You in 2019.
The texts were brutal and controlling. Just words? Prosecutors said You's messages were "unrelenting abuse" that resulted in emotional and psychological damage.
"You repeatedly told the victim that he should kill himself or die and waged a campaign of abuse that stripped the victim of his free will," said District Attorney Rachael Rollins in the Boston Globe. Eventually Alex Urtula did kill himself by leaping from the roof of a parking garage hours before he was to graduate from Boston College in May 2019. The fingers were all pointing to Inyoung You.
How would your family deal with it all?
I know when my cousin was murdered in 2014, I was driven to seek justice to avenge his death.
But I was not mindful then. Not like the Urtulas.
On the Thursday before Christmas, the Urtulas and the prosecutors worked out an arrangement so that You would be offered a plea deal.
Instead of potentially facing 20 years in prison had their been a trial, You pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and accepted her role in Alex Urtula's death. In other words, Urtula's death was unlawful but not intentional. You got a 2 1/2 year suspended sentence and 10 years' probation. Merry Christmas.
But the Urtula's got something they wanted too. They were spared the pain of a trial.
"We bear no feelings of anger or reprisal," the family said in a statement. "We believe that time will take us through in the moments we mourn and celebrate his life."
That is a statement of love that sets an example that we all could strive for. It is the positive out of the negative—the plea deal as a holiday lesson of forgiveness. If only we could get pass the feelings of fear, and move readily toward love.
The Urtulas have shown the way.

Q: Django Invalid block tag: 'static' I have this in the <head> of my base.html.
{% load staticfiles %}
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static "myStyleSheet.css" %}">

and I get error Invalid block tag: 'static'
Within INSTALLED_APPS I've included
'django.contrib.staticfiles',

and I've included within settings.py
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "static/")

Why do I get the load error?

A: the actual problem here, I'm very sorry to say, was that within my app.yaml file I had specified a different directory for the static files and it seemed to be overriding everything else.  Once removed, all sorted.

A: Do you have the django.core.context_processors.static context processor in your TEMPLATE settings? Here's a sample:
TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
                'django.core.context_processors.static',
            ],
        },
    },
]

You can add it there or use { %load static %} in your template.

A: Use {% load static %} or {% load static from staticfiles %}
Please check https://stackoverflow.com/a/27516199/263989

A: It seems that everything is fine. Check if static word is written using only English letters, it may be because of this.

A: You can change
href="{% static "myStyleSheet.css" %}"

to
href="{% static 'myStyleSheet.css' %}"

Single quotes for myStyleSheet.css

A: Many answers are here but try this too. I'm going to describe everything. forget and clear anything added before and just follow these hints
1- in your settings.py and INSTALLED_APPS you should have
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
and also STATIC_URL = '/static/'. by default it's exists in the end of your file but check again yourself

2- in settings.py your TEMPLATES should be like as follow
TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'templates')],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
                'django.core.context_processors.static',
            ],
        },
    },
]

Do not try to add this again ! just check for mistakes

3- static folder must be in the application directory not your main directory of project
project
    -application
        -migrations
        -static
        -templates

4- in static folder create sub directories for your files for example
project
    -application
        -static
            -css
            -js
            -img
            -....
            -....

and put your files to specific folder

5- now in your HTML file add {% load staticfiles %} first of file and everywhere you need a static file try to add that like as follow
<link href="{% static "css/myStyleSheet.css" %}" rel="stylesheet">

or
<link rel="icon" href="{% static "img/favicon.png" %}">

If you follow these hints, everything should be OK. test and report again

One City Forum unites San Francisco through discussion
Newsletters sf.citi in the news
This is an extraordinary time for San Francisco. Long a destination for creative and ambitious people, San Francisco in recent years has also become a magnet for technology entrepreneurs. Seemingly overnight, our West Coast town became an international destination for people seeking new opportunities in the tech industry. This influx boosted both our local economy and created tensions between new and old city residents. The future of our city and its identity are the subject of much debate.
The San Francisco Citizens Initiative for Technology and Innovation, sf.citi, is taking a leadership role in fostering this conversation. On behalf of its 1,000-plus member tech companies and community partners, sf.citi proposes a One City approach, the simple and yet powerful idea that all San Franciscans must work together to ensure a positive future for our city.
It is sf.citi's mission to represent, engage and convene. That's why we, the signatories, have come together under sf.citi's leadership to create the One City Forum. We are a team of four leaders in the nonprofit world and four leaders in the technology industry who share a love for our city and believe that by working together we can make a better San Francisco for all.
We will meet regularly to discuss difficult issues facing San Franciscans like affordability, homelessness, health and education. We educate one another and work together to empower others in both nonprofit and tech to collaborate on solutions to common problems. We invite experts to share data and valuable advice with us so that we can learn from the best minds in our city and better understand the issues.
We believe San Franciscans old and new share more common ground than we realize. We have lessons, experiences, and best practices to share. There are lessons that new tech businesses in San Francisco can learn from the dedicated community and nonprofit leaders who have been serving our city for generations. Conversely, there is much that community nonprofits can gain from partnering with tech companies to strengthen their impact.
We don't want this to be a closed-door discussion; we want you to be a part of it. We have seen from our early conversations that every individual and organization has a role to play in making us One City. Our goal is to empower companies large and small to engage in our local community in a meaningful way.
That's why on March 22, sf.citi is hosting the first One City Forum, a public event series that will regularly convene sf.citi member companies, their employees, and community members. The subject of our launch event will be making the case for corporate social responsibility. Join us at Zendesk to learn how our companies have built successful corporate social responsibility programs and hear what kind of corporate partnerships our nonprofits really need. Start the discussion with us about how to engage around some of the most important challenges facing San Francisco and learn how you can start making an impact today. We hope to see you there. Visit sfciti.org for event information.
sf.citi signatories are Eric McDonnell, United Way of the Bay Area; Sherilyn Adams, Larkin Street Youth; Margi English, St. Vincent de Paul Society of San Francisco; Danie Belfield, Meals on Wheels of San Francisco; Katie Ferrick, LinkedIn; Tiffany Apczynski, Zendesk; Amy Lebold, AdRoll; Charlie Hale, Pinterest.


Ambassador-designate, Dr Tony Aidoo says Nana Akufo-Addo's decision to contest the New Patriotic Party's ticket for the 2016 presidential election is a wake up call for President John Dramani Mahama. He said Nana Addo's decision was in the national interest because it would intensify competition at the 2016 polls. Speaking on Joy FM, Dr Aidoo said, "It is going to be a match between the youth and the aged to the extent that Mahama has to put confidence in the youth and it means, that administration must not fail." He however, noted that politics was also a psychological game, which meant that, "the electorate will then think that the youth are not capable of delivering what we want and therefore a reversal to the aged." Expressing optimism that President Mahama stood the chance of winning the 2016 elections, he said the electorate would not forgive Nana Addo for bringing the nation to the brink in his "ambitious" political career. "Nana Addo must realise that on two occasions he has brought the nation to the brink in his ambition to be president in 2008, his side trying to steal the elections by nefarious means and the tension that it created and then 2012 going to court without any justifiable cause… But I believe that well over 5 million people are going to remember and they will remember it in terms of the ambition of Nana Akufo Addo to become president and I think those people will vote against him," he asserted. Dr Aidoo also noted that Nana Addo would also have to fight the battle of the youth against the aged within the NPP during the party's primaries, adding that, "I think a person like Alan Kyeremanteng is going to give him a good run for it." Nana Akufo-Addo, who turns 70 on March 29, 2014, says he will for the third time contest to run for presidential election in 2016 on the ticket of the NPP at age 72.

Revised Scheme at The Coo Palace, Borgue, Scotland Approved
The revised planning application at Coo Palace, the latest addition to The Holiday Property Bond's portfolio, was approved unanimously at planning committee earlier this month. The Coo Palace on the Kirkcudbrightshire coast was originally built in the early 1900's by Manchester merchant James Brown to house a herd of 12 cows. Construction work, which includes the refurbishment of the existing Grade A listed dairy and stable buildings is due to start fully in the new year.

Facebook Messenger Bots using Swift (Vapor)

## Requirements
* Xcode 8

* [Vapor](https://github.com/vapor/vapor) - A web framework and server for Swift


"We know who you are." That's the message from the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue in this spot - paid for with the tax dollars of Pennsylvania citizens - that obviously has but one purpose: to SCARE us.
Who exactly is "we" here? And who is "you" intended to represent?
Has our government really become so divorced from the people it's supposed to be comprised of and represent, that it has now resorted to active measures of intimidation?
This is not freedom, people. This is blatant tyranny. This is everything that the Founders and too many others since their time have fought against and far more than that. And if I were a resident of Pennsylvania, I would be mad as #&@$ at the state government there for this. It indicates way too much else gone screwy, not just in Pennsylvania but across this country.
As V said in V for Vendetta: "People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."
Thanks to "lowbridge" for passing this along.
Very creepy. Very wrong. And very un-American.
I am a resident of Pennsylvania and this ad does make me mad as hell. PA is the Land of Taxes. You would not believe how many different taxes we pay here, it's disgusting.
