The World's Largest Plane Just Flew in the Shape of a Christmas Tree
by Andrea Park
Flyin' around the Christmas tree...
The travel industry is definitely not immune to a healthy dose of holiday cheer. Last week, Alaska Air announced that it will allow passengers to board early if they're wearing tacky holiday knitwear on National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day (December 15, FYI), and this week, Airbus ran an extremely festive test flight over Germany. As seen in a GIF posted by global flight tracking site Flightradar24 on Twitter on Wednesday, an Airbus A380 spent a few hours flying in the shape of a Christmas tree—complete with plenty of round ornaments hanging off its boughs.
A spokesperson for Airbus told The Telegraph that Wednesday's five-hour, 22-minute flight was a normal internal test flight for the world's largest passenger plane. "The routing of these flights is flexible. They take off and land at the Airbus Airport in Hamburg-Finkenwerder," they said. "Thanks to the cooperation of the air traffic controllers... it was possible to fly that Christmas tree flight path. It was the idea of test pilots and engineers—an Airbus greeting to all aviation fans during this Christmas period."
Though Airbus neglected to name the pilot who took the reins on the dizzying test flight, all evidence points to one Kris Kringle. (Hey, even Santa needs to practice possible flight paths for his big December 25 journey.)
https://twitter.com/flightradar24/status/941013516051472384
As seen in the full flight map on the Flightradar24 site, the Airbus A380 started in Hamburg, in northern Germany, before heading south and drawing the massive tree over almost the entire country. Toward the end of the flight, the plane passed through Hamburg again and then headed due north to draw a vertical tree-topper across the entire country of Denmark, before finally landing back in Hamburg. A cute stunt, no doubt, but if the Airbus A380 flies in endless loops like this on its real flights, passengers will surely arrange a Christmastime mutiny.

Motorola a tough competitor: Nokia CEO
John Pletz
(Crain's) -- Nokia's CEO, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, isn't counting out rival Motorola Inc.
Although Nokia has benefited as much as any company from Motorola's stumbles in the cell phone business during the past two years, Mr. Kallasvuo didn't gloat Tuesday when he addressed the Executives' Club of Chicago.
"Motorola is facing some challenges," he said. "But Motorola has always been a tough competitor, and I think they will continue to challenge us in the years to come."
Nokia, the world's largest seller of mobile phones, established a beachhead in Chicago last year when it decided to buy locally based Navteq Corp., a digital-mapping company, for $8.1 billion. Location-based services are a crucial component on Nokia's strategy to sell mobile services, such as music, and to serve up advertising-based content on top of its ongoing phone business.
Mr. Kallasvuo has his own challenges.
While Nokia has boosted its worldwide market share to 40%, the company has been struggling in North America even as Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics have showed strong growth. Nokia also hasn't kept pace in the fast-growing market for smartphones, as Research in Motion Ltd, HTC and Apple Inc. have capitalized on soaring demand.
The Finland-based company's stock is trading at about $20 per share, down 22% in the past two months and off 44% from a year ago.
Mr. Kallasvuo, who recently warned that Nokia would not see growth in market share this quarter as originally forecast, declined to say how the recent shocks to worldwide financial markets would impact results.
"There are some economic realities we all face," he said.
Mr. Kallasvuo also acknowledged the launch Tuesday of the first handsets that will use the Google Inc.-led Android software platform. Unlike Motorola and the other big phone makers, Nokia is not part of the Open Handset Alliance building the software.
"We welcome the competition," he said, adding that Google and Apple will help expand the market for high-end phones that can take advantage of the services Nokia is trying to develop with Navteq.


The Plaintiffs' Steering Committee ("PSC") appointed by Judge Lance Africk of the United States District Court, Eastern District, Louisiana has been engaged in adversarial discovery process. Although Temple Inland ("TIN") has begun to comply, many more samples and tests will be required to know the scope of the loss of fish and wildlife, the impact on the commercial fishermen, land owners, water quality and associated use rights. Toward that end, we have scheduled testing. Our objective is to determine the effects of the release(s) and the content(s) of the release(s) through our experts. A preliminary expert report on the number of fish killed has been issued, subject to revision after complete testing in the river.
A status conference is set for February 8, 2012 with Judge Africk. If you are one of our class members and have any updated documentation to support your claim, please be sure to get that information to our office at your earliest convenience.

Auchentoshan Distillery (pronounced Aw-khen-tosh-an) is a single malt whisky distillery in the west of Scotland. The name Auchentoshan is gaelic and translates as "The corner of the field," the distillery is also known as "Glasgow's Malt Whisky" due to its close proximity to Glasgow and "the breakfast whisky" due to its sweet and delicate nature.
Unusually for a Scottish distillery, Auchentoshan practices triple distillation. Generally the final stage of Scotch whisky production involves distilling the fermented mash in two copper stills. In Auchentoshan, a third still known as the "Intermediate Still" helps to gives a spirit strength of 81% ABV (162 proof). This triple distillation, in addition to an unpeated malt, gives Auchentoshan a more delicate and sweet flavour than many Scotch Whiskies. Maturation is mainly in ex-bourbon barrels and ex-sherry butts though some Auchentoshans will mature in French wine casks.


That's my fear as well. I have no confidence that the GOP will do anything when it comes to Trump and what has been, and will continue to be, a staggering amount of ethical, legal and constitutional malfeasance.
Graham and John McCain. There's just no integrity left with the right. Witness Jason Chaffetz today and the Ethics Committee, among dozens of other major issues the party will ignore.
Although this is where I think that a Mark Felt character might turn up. It could be a good few years for the 3-4 investigative journalists left in the US.

GENE WATSON & VINCE GILL
Gene Watson's latest album is further proof that he is one of the better country singers to emerge from Nashville's heyday of the '70s and '80s. With people such as Lee Ann Womack, Vince Gill and Rhonda Vincent making guest appearances, Watson shines on the opening honky-tonkin' "Don't You Ever Get Tired of Hurting Me" with the obligatory pedal steel in the middle portion. Gill shows up on the equally strong "Let Me Be the First to Go" providing sweet backing harmonies; but even this effort pales compared to the gorgeous classic country style of "Today I Started Loving You Again" with Womack lending her talents. Joe Nichols stops by for "In a Perfect World" but the song isn't anything to write home about but the lone exception to this honky-tonk format is the gritty "I Buried Our Love" that brings to mind contemporaries like Montgomery Gentry. Another toe-tapper is the pleasing "This Side of the Door" with Mark Chesnutt helping out. Overall the album proves that Watson hasn't lost anything since he started decades ago. In fact he makes it look too damn easy.

Let's face it, people like potato chips. No wonder grocery stores dedicate a whole aisle for all variations of chips. A popular snack, a sandwich side dish and a main component of parties, potato chips nutrition should not be overlooked. How many potato chips should you eat? Are there types that are better for health than others? What about their salt content?

Portions Reality
The standard serving size for potato chips on nutrition labels is 1 oz.--that is 13 to 16 chips.
If you're wondering who eats that and stops, let alone who counts, then the message hit home. There is a huge discrepancy between what people read on labels and what they eat. Family-size potato chips bags, while cost-effective, can be a nutrition disaster. People who eat potato chips around friends or while watching TV are vulnerable to overconsumption and mindless eating.
Habit or Treat
Whether you can eat potato chips depends on your eating habits and health goals. Potato chips often take over as snacks for fruits and vegetables--which people don't get enough of as is. For weight loss, skipping the daily individual-size potato chip bag can shed more than a pound a month. Imagine how much weight you can lose if you tend to eat more than a single serving. If potato chips are a once-in-a-while food that doesn't hinder your fruit and vegetable intake or weight loss effort, then a sensible portion can fit into your diet.
It all boils down to portions, the sodium content of the specific potato chips and the amount of other high-salt foods in your diet. Lay's brand Salt and Vinegar chips contain 380 mg of sodium per ounce, while the Classic variety has 180 mg. Eat three or four times the serving size, and your sodium intake will pile up.
The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute recommends healthy people to take in no more than 2,400 mg of sodium a day. Add processed and canned foods in addition to potato chips to your daily diet, and you've already passed your limit.
Baked and Reduced-Fat
Baked and reduced-fat versions of potato chips contain fewer calories and fat--but they still contain them, and they don't always provide a healthy snack. A 1 oz. serving of Lay's brand baked potato chips has 120 calories and 2 g of fat, compared to 150 calories and 10 g for the Classic variety. Reduced-fat Pringles contain 130 calories and 7 g of fat compared to 150 calories and 9 g in the Original variety. Read labels, compare products, make a smart decision and watch your portions.
Olestra is a fat substitute used in fat-free potato chips, which contain half the calories of regular chips and no fat grams per ounce. If you want more volume for the same calories, fat-free chips are an option.
Researchers at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center at Baton Rouge found that substituting regular-fat snacks with fat-free ones made with olestra for nine months, as part of a low-fat diet, significantly reduced weight. However, eating olestra-based products on a regular basis interferes with the body's absorption of vitamins A, D, E and K. The Pennington researchers found that a multivitamin restored vitamin A and E levels but not beta-carotene, lycopene and lutein, anti-oxidants your body needs to fight disease and inflammation.

On January 11, 2019 the U.S. House of Representatives passed HR 221, "Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism Act," resurfacing a highly contested definition of antisemitism that wrongly equates advocacy for Palestinian rights with antisemitism.
The bill requires the President to appoint a Special Envoy for Anti-Semitism within 90 days, a position which Trump has left empty since taking office.
Supporters of HR 221 are right to demand that the President immediately fill the position. The U.S. government must address rising racism, ethno-nationalism and white supremacy, including antisemitism, around the globe and at home.
Unfortunately, efforts to confront antisemitism have been overshadowed by attempts to conflate criticism of Israel with hatred of Jewish people in order to undermine a growing movement for Palestinian human rights. Israel advocacy groups actively promote a redefinition of antisemitism that labels criticism of Israel as antisemitic. Israel advocates have run failed campaigns to adopt such a definition in state legislatures, at universities, and through Congressional legislation seeking to impose the redefinition on the Department of Education (DOE). The State Department began using the definition to identify antisemitic incidents in foreign countries in 2010 and Trump's DOE declared it would use such a definition in August, 2018.
We reject such attempts to label advocacy for Palestinian freedom and equality as inherently antisemitic.
We call on lawmakers everywhere to combat antisemitism alongside all systems of racism. We also call on them to recognize that efforts to hold Israel accountable to international law through boycott and divestment campaigns and other tactics are principled human rights activism aimed at equality for all people. Such principled advocacy is protected by the First Amendment, and must be emphatically distinguished from threats to Jewish communities around the world.

Across the border: global enforcement of trade secrets

With the right strategy, businesses can leverage the extraterritorial application of trade secret law to protect their IP, says John Williamson of Finnegan.
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MANAGERS ARE SOMETIMES SURPRISED to learn that trade secrets do not neatly conform to territorial borders in the way that other intellectual property rights typically do. Many businesses manage global IP portfolios with clear understandings of the territorial nature of IP rights. For instance it is well understood, and uncontroversial, that patent rights must be separately secured in each country for which exclusivity is desired. Well-settled law respects sovereign grants of territorial patent rights, such that no IP owner would believe it could enforce a German patent, for example, in the United States or vice-versa. Resources are allocated, strategies are implemented, and global patent portfolios are developed in conformance with territorial limitations governing patent rights.
Trade secret law is territorial just like laws governing patents, trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights. Namely, countries implement their own laws and generally apply those laws to govern conduct within their own territorial borders. Against this background, it may be surprising for international businesses to learn, for example, that a Chinese company could be found to have violated US trade secret law for conduct that occurred exclusively in China. Or that a US court could apply Taiwanese trade secret law to a US-based dispute between a UK company and a Taiwanese company. Or that a US company could be held to account under US trade secret law irrespective of where in the world the conduct at issue occurred.
In practice, trade secrets seem to transcend international borders in ways that other intellectual property rights do not. This reality stems from the unique nature of trade secrets as well as a growing tendency of US tribunals to apply US trade secret law to conduct that occurs primarily outside of the US.
THE UNBOUNDED NATURE OF TRADE SECRETS
Trade secrets are unique in many ways, including in that legal protection does not require the type of territorial registrations or grants typical of patents, trademarks, copyrights, and the like. There are no government "trade secret offices" administering rights, collecting fees, performing examinations, or issuing property grants. Rather, trade secret rights arise in a more organic, less formal manner. Generally, trade secrets can arise anytime that "information" meets certain (usually statutory) requirements.
As set forth in the World Trade Organization Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property ("TRIPS"), member countries must protect undisclosed information that:
"is secret in the sense that it is not . . . generally known among or readily accessible to persons within the circles that normally deal with the kind of information at issue,"
"has commercial value because it is secret", and
"has been subject to reasonable steps under the circumstances . . . to keep it secret".
Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, arts. 39.1, 39.2, 1869 U.N.T.S. 299 (April 15, 1994).
"TRADE SECRETS ARE NOT INHERENTLY TIED TO OR LIMITED BY THEIR PLACE OF CREATION, PLACE OF USE, PLACE OF STORAGE, OR ANY OTHER GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION." - JOHN WILLIAMSON
While specific implementations vary from country to country across WTO member countries, this trade secret triumvirate set out in the TRIPS Agreement—(1) secrecy, (2) economic value, (3) reasonable measures—remains common to nearly every implementation. The EU Directive on trade secrets and all US federal and state statutes, for example, contain these same three general requirements when codifying the definition of a trade secret.
This general conformity often means that when a trade secret springs to life—whether it be a new invention, or source code, or a data set, or a manufacturing process, or any other type of "information" that meets the three general requirements—it springs to life in many countries around the world immediately and simultaneously. In other words, trade secrets are not inherently tied to or limited by their place of creation, place of use, place of storage, or any other geographic location. Because they consist of information—untethered to a geographic location, registrations, or tangible media—they can immediately "exist" anywhere and everywhere that recognises them under the law.
Likewise, misappropriation of trade secrets—generally defined as unauthorised and knowing acquisition, disclosure, or use of the protected information—might occur anywhere in the world. There is no inherent requirement that acts of misappropriation must occur in the same country in which the trade secret was created, or in which the trade secret owner resides, or in which the trade secret is used by its owner, in order for the misappropriation to be actionable. Rather, there are countless examples of tribunals maintaining trade secret misappropriation actions where some aspect of the conduct at issue occurred within their borders, irrespective of where the trade secret may have originated.
Of course, there are limits to international conformity as some countries do not recognise trade secrets at all (at least not in the way envisioned by TRIPS). And other countries may maintain additional nuances in their local laws that limit the scope of protection. Moreover while many countries may provide for misappropriation actions, litigation involving cross-border parties and conduct often involves unique challenges in establishing jurisdiction over the parties and enforcing judgments. Even in those countries that do recognise trade secret law and that regularly exercise jurisdiction over disputes involving cross-border activity, there can be striking differences in the procedures involved in pursuing a misappropriation action from country to country.
With all these caveats, however, it remains the case that trade secrets do not observe the fundamental territorial limitations involved with other types of IP in the sense that trade secrets may be recognised and enforced in many different countries without the burden of country-specific registrations and grants. Accordingly, trade secret owners operating across borders can often leverage the relatively similar trade secret laws of many different countries to protect their trade secrets
"US COURTS HAVE EMBRACED WHAT HAS BEEN CHARACTERISED AS A 'FLEXIBLE AND IMAGINATIVE APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM OF DAMAGES' FOR TRADE SECRET MISAPPROPRIATION."
EXTRATERRITORIAL APPLICATION OF US TRADE SECRET LAW
In addition to high-level conformity from the relatively similar legal frameworks implemented by WTO member countries, additional consistency might be achieved in some circumstances through the extraterritorial application of a specific country's law. Given the trend toward extraterritorial application of US trade secret law in particular, international businesses might consider developing trade secret policies and enforcement strategies around US law where it is available.
For those willing to bear the burdens associated with US litigation, enforcing trade secrets in the US comes with many benefits. For instance, US discovery procedures provide unparalleled access to evidence. This may be particularly important in trade secret misappropriation actions because often most, if not all, of the direct evidence of misappropriation lies in the hands of the misappropriator. Additionally, sweeping worldwide injunctive relief, both preliminary and permanent, is available under US law, with most courts recognising the principle that "[i]t is inappropriate to impose geographic limitations on the scope of injunctions in trade secret cases." Restatement (Third) of Unfair Competition, § 44 cmt. d. (1995). And in proceedings where damages are available, US courts have embraced what has been characterised as a "flexible and imaginative approach to the problem of damages" for trade secret misappropriation. Univ. Computing v Lykes-Youngstown (5th Cir. 1974). As a result, headline-grabbing jury verdicts in the hundreds of millions, or even billions in some cases, are becoming more common in US trade secret cases.
Because US trade secret law applies extraterritorially in many circumstances, the benefits (and burdens) of US trade secret law can extend to the conduct of international businesses occurring around the world. For example, in matters before the US International Trade Commission ("ITC"), "misappropriation of trade secrets is governed by (US) federal common law, even where that misappropriation occurs abroad". Certain Rubber Resins, Comm'n Op, (Feb. 26, 2014) citing TianRui Group v Int'l Trade Comm'n, (Fed. Cir. 2011).
Likewise, US federal courts will apply US trade secret law to "conduct occurring outside the United States" if (1) the misappropriator is a US company or US citizen or (2) "an act in furtherance" of the misappropriation was committed in the United States (18 U.S.C.A. § 1837). This extraterritorial provision has been leveraged by both non-US and US companies. Specifically, non-US companies have taken advantage of the provision to assert misappropriation actions against US companies in the US, despite that the majority of the conduct complained of happened outside of the US. And, more commonly, US companies use the provision to enforce trade secrets against non-US companies for conduct that largely occurred outside of the US on grounds that an "act in furtherance" of the misappropriation occurred in the US. (See, eg, Motorola Sols v Hytera Communs (N.D. Ill. 2020)).
In summary, those conducting business globally have many tools at their disposal to manage and enforce trade secrets. Given the relative conformity as to the definition of a trade secret, local recognition and enforcement may be an option in many different countries. And given the expansive geographic reach of US law in appropriate circumstances, those based in the US, doing business in the US, or doing business with US companies around the world, may be able to take advantage of US law to enforce trade secrets.

Artifact Bag Co. has made durable handmade products in Omaha, NE since 2010. With little more than canvas, leather and thread, this small operation produces "greater than its parts" design you can put on your body and abuse. This waist apron is a case in point. It combines simple tough materials with perfectly simple style, and the outcome is fantastic: rugged, attractive workwear you can use daily and be proud of while you do. Whether your work takes place in a garage, craft market, workshop, restaurant or hair salon, these light and bright aprons pack heritage quality in a comfortable, contemporary package.
We appreciate the heavy duck canvas coverage, double stitching, rivet reinforcement, and (praise be!) fantastic color options that don't sacrifice durability.

There are plenty of pockets for your tools and treasures of different sizes, and the straps are long enough to give good adjustment for people of different sizes too. All in all, the Artifact Waist Aprons are tough and sweet and hard to beat.


In early 2014 the city took over and I was told that for the first time in 12 years there were neither security nor official tours – and by coincidence I went to Berlin anyway, so I had a look myself. Remains of the park can be found as far as 500 meters away from the entrance, where I saw a huge ad box for the park, promoting raffles for free tickets. From there a path lead through the forest to the main entrance, damaged lamp posts from the GDR era on both sides of the way. Upon arrival the first thing I saw was a parked car right inside the gates, so I assumed somebody was on the premises, which made me have a look around first. A couple of minutes later I found several spots to enter Spreepark comfortably, but at the same time the sun was gone and it began to rain… heavily… at least for a while – the forecast was right after all. I took shelter in a little hut right next to the Spree and when the sun came out again I continued to circle Spreepark in full, amazed that the fence had more holes than Swiss cheese! On the way I saw several vandalized signs, a vandalized wooden kiosk and a locked up, fenced off and slightly vandalized restaurant for day-trippers called "Zum Eierhäuschen" (The Egg House), dating back to the 19th century and made famous by Theodor Fontane's novel Der Stechlin.
Well, after a dozen years of vandalism and removing attraction, Spreepark was a rundown piece of crap anyway – and after 5 years of official tours and thousands of people entering illegally, there was no way I could have taken a photo inside you haven't seen a million times on the internet anyway. So I decided to stay outside, taking some pictures from there – not spectacular ones, but new ones, stuff you probably haven't seen yet; and to enjoy the atmosphere there for another hour or two. Minutes later I talked to a group of British students on a school trip to Berlin, who were eager to enter, but couldn't decide whether or not to risk it. Then I went back to the Ferris wheel to have another look, when all of a sudden I saw a guy inside running like crazy, followed by a police car outside. The guy was able to hide and the police car left without catching him, but to me this was great – I am not used to that doing urbex in Japan, it's a lot more mellow here! I headed back to the main entrance, when I saw two young women inside, just carelessly walking around, obviously not the slightest worried about security or the police – an attitude I saw repeatedly on two more locations the following day; people in Berlin don't seem to have a sense of guilt whatsoever, their level of entitlement was amazing to see – though I guess some of them get crushed at the police station… 🙂 Despite that, I still had no urge to get inside and take some photos – again, there was close to nothing for me to gain. One big element of urbex is risk assessment. Spreepark is photographed to death and I have been to much better abandoned amusement parks in the past. *Nara Dreamland* for example – I was willing to take the risk to go there five years ago, when it was virtually unknown. Now it's a vandalized piece of garbage much like Spreepark, and I pity the fools who nowadays risk getting caught by security and the Japanese police. At the same time I don't mind taking a risk if it's worth it – just three days ago I explored an abandoned capsule hotel right across the street from a police station, because it's a unique location and I was able to take some amazing photos that no one has ever taken before; *click here for a first impression on Facebook*.
Anyway, I sat down on a bench, looking through the photos on my camera, when I was approached by an older man. We talked for a while and it turned out that he lived in the area for like 40 years and knew all about the park and its history, not happy with the current situation. He confirmed that the Ferris wheel hasn't been used in a while and that it is actually very dangerous to get close to it as the authorities are worried that the whole thing might fall over as the foundations are completely rotten and a very strong wind could bring it down.
Wow, this visit really had it all – security, police, neighbors, wannabe explorers, risk takers; and me enjoying the atmosphere.
About four weeks later Spreepark made national news when four men started two fires that destroyed parts of the park. The city's reaction? Increased security, a new fence all around the park… and new photo tours, probably starting in 2015.
The ferris wheel movement was eerie. I enjoyed your story.
Thanks a lot! Sometimes urbex is not about spectacular photos… sometimes it's just about observing what is happening around you, right there and then.
What an adventure… really enjoyed your story and the photos…. something I would never do so I'm happy to read about it.
Thanks, RMV! At first I was a bit worried that it wasn't "spectacular enough" to carry a whole article, but in the end it was a lovely afternoon for me… and a wordy, yet mellow story for the blog.
Great post, albeit one that creeped me out a little. I kept expecting to see PennyWise peering out from one of the photos. As for the moving ferris wheel…yeebies!
kind of spooky on the wheel.
I would have been shocked and amazed to see the Ferriswheel moving also! Love your blog!
