VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Dec. 17, 2015) - The Executive Director of the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) has issued a notice of hearing alleging that two former investment advisors and an Alberta company breached a cease trade order and filed misleading disclosure regarding the corporate role of one of the respondents.
The notice alleges that Stewart Douglas Loughery and Richard Dean Reoji Nawata issued promissory notes of Military International Limited (MIL) to six investors for proceeds of $170,000. MIL is an Alberta company that at one time traded on the TSX Venture Exchange. On December 11, 2002, the Executive Director ordered that all trading in MIL's securities cease until MIL filed required records. This order remains in force.
Nawata is MIL's President, Chief Executive Officer, and director of record. Staff alleges that Loughery acted as a de facto director of MIL because he was an undischarged bankrupt since 2003 and was not allowed to be an actual director. Both Loughery and Nawata are B.C. residents, and both were previously registered as investment advisors.
BCSC staff contends that in the fall of 2010, Loughery had no income and needed money to pay legal bills. Despite the MIL cease trade order, Loughery approached potential investors and told them that he was raising funds to reactivate and reorganize MIL, with the aim of re-listing MIL on an exchange. MIL raised $170,000 by issuing promissory notes to six investors.
Staff also alleges that in materials filed with the BCSC, MIL did not disclose that Loughery was a de facto director of MIL. As a result, the filings were misleading and MIL breached securities laws concerning corporate disclosure.
As MIL's director and officer of record, Nawata authorized, permitted, or acquiesced in MIL's contraventions. As a de facto director or officer of MIL, Loughery also authorized, permitted, or acquiesced in MIL's contraventions.
These allegations have not been proven. Counsel for the Executive Director will apply to set dates for a hearing into the allegations before a panel of commissioners on January 26, 2016 at 9:00am.
You may view the notice of hearing on our website, www.bcsc.bc.ca, by typing Stewart Douglas Loughery, Richard Dean Reoji Nawata, Military International Limited, or 2015 BCSECCOM 460 in the search box. You can find information about disciplinary proceedings in the Enforcement section of the BCSC website.


Saturday night, wood fire going, I am surfing the internet thinking about something to write. What is important in my life. My family, my work, my church. My family is doing well. My work is in transtion. My service at church continues as it has for the last 35 years. All good things. I am grateful for my blessings. I am sad that so many people seem to be searching and not finding some peace and contentment. I say give it to the Lord. Not some entertainment feelgood for a moment capture your excitement and money but leave you without knowing your source event. But the real thing. Your source of life. The creator of all that is. I happen to believe that Jesus Christ is the bridge from human life to the all knowing God. So my preference is to give my life to God as Jesus taught us. The Lords prayer is a good place to start. Go to your room, sit quietly and give your life to God don't look for someone to pat you on the back or give you encouragement. Just do it. everyday. You will begin to see when God is directing you and driving the bus and when you are. Continue to give it to God and you will be amazed. God is real, God is not some idea created to ease our pain. God is….the alpha and the omega. Praise be to God Always.
Now…. that being said. the other thing that happens when Jesus is in your life is that you learn to live again. Love your neighbor and friends, Love your enemys.


The buttery crust and tart filling of traditional lemon bars, with a coconut twist!
Here in Moab we have been enjoying the most dreamy pre-spring weather. It's been sunny, warm, and today I even got to break out my flip flops. Hooray! We're still in our first year here so I'm not really sure if this is normal or not, but I sure hope this isn't just a big tease.
Even though lemon is a winter fruit, March is always when I start craving it nonstop. I think it's because lemon reminds me of sunshine and right about now is when I want nothing but sunshine.
These lemon bars are pretty standard except for the addition of one simple ingredient— toasted coconut! There's toasted coconut ground right into the buttery shortbread crust and even more sprinkled on top after the bars have baked. It adds a wonderful nutty flavor, and also brings a little tropical flair to the already bright and sunny bars.
I think I could eat these all day, every day.
Can you tell I'm ready for spring and summer?

The Water Jug is a staple on our table, a large dimpled jug with Cobalt detailing and a hand-painted handle. A joy to pour from.
The Feldspar ethos is 'objects for life' - handcrafted items you can use daily that will last a lifetime. This is why fine bone china is used - it is the strongest ceramic - to make objects that are classic and modern at once, not subscribing to trends or fads. The new tableware perfectly encapsulates this - these are items that are designed to be used daily that are meticulously hand crafted to ensure that (with a little TLC) they will last a lifetime.

The nasal cavity is covered by a thin mucosa which is well vascularised. This facilitate to quick transfer of drug molecules across the single epithelial cell layer directly to systemic blood circulation without first-pass hepatic and intestinal metabolism. In this way the effect of a smaller drug molecule can be achieved in five minutes. The nasal administration therefore can be used a better route than oral drug administration. The present study is all about the compilation of existing knowledge about nasal anatomy and mecahahis routnism of absorption through nasal rout nase. The study is also about the present formulations for nasal administration.

12 Attractions That You Just Cannot Miss In The USA
The United States of America is home to some of the most recognizable iconic landmarks on the globe as well as to some of the most spectacular natural scenery. However, due to its vast area, it is almost impossible to explore all the attractions in a single trip. Depending on your interests, you can choose which part of the USA you want to visit and the attractions that you would want to tick off from your check list. In this blog, we will list a dozen of the most popular tourist attractions of the country — from natural to manmade wonders — that would make it to the must-see list of attractions, in any country anywhere in the world.
Walt Disney is certainly one of the biggest exports from USA to the world. Named after its creator, Walt Disney World Resort is one of the grandest theme parks in the world. In fact, it is the most visited vacation resort in the world, clocking over 52 million visitors annually! The place is ideal for the whole family, especially those with children.

The romantic beaches of Hawaii are one of the first images many have when thinking of a vacation in the USA. And what better place to visit in Hawaii than the world-famous Waikiki Beach in Honolulu. The Waikiki Beach is one of the 5 beaches in that oceanfront — the other 4 being Kuhio, Fort deRussy, Kahanamoku, and Gray's. Originally a retreat for the Hawaiian royalty, this 9 km stretch of tropical paradise is one of the most popular beachfronts in the world, attracting tourists from all corners of the globe. With the tremendous growth of tourism, you can enjoy several water and beach activities in Waikiki. There are numerous hotels, restaurants, clubs, and stores in and around Waikiki to suit every pocket and interest.
The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most recognized bridges in the world, thanks to it being featured in numerous movies and television shows over the decades. This 2.7 km long bridge joins the city of San Francisco with the Marin County across the San Francisco Bay. For 27 years since its opening in 1937, this was the longest suspension bridge in the world. The bridge rises to a height of over 227 m and one of the most unique images of the bridge is when it is covered with fog with only the two towers peaking above it. The bridge has cycling path as well as a walkway for pedestrians. The Bridge Pavilion on the San Francisco side of the bridge has a café, visitor center, and a gift shop.
Times Square and Central Park
With over 40 million annual visitors each, Times Square and Central Park in New York are the 2 most visited attractions in the USA! Times Square is a commercial intersection in the Manhattan neighborhood of New York City. With its flashing billboards and famous neighborhoods like Broadway and Wall Street, Time Square has attained an iconic status to tourists. The New Year countdown celebration is also held at this site. Within walking distance from the Times Square is Central Park, 3.41 sq km of greenery amidst the jungle of Manhattan skyscrapers. The park was opened to the public in 1857 and has since featured in numerous movies and TV shows. It has gone through several renovations over the decades. Presently, it is very beautifully landscaped with walkways, ponds, flowering trees, fountains, gardens, as well as a zoo. It is also sprinkled with many beautiful statues and sculptures.
Yellowstone National Park is one of the most popular attractions in the USA, especially for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. It was declared a national park in 1872, making it not only the oldest national park in the USA but also in the whole world! The park spans over 3 American states — Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. The diverse and scenic landscape of the park is the result of a now-extinct volcano. Hot springs, geysers, waterfalls, and a rich variety of flora and fauna are the prime attractions of the park. There are 5 entrances to the park. Although there is no public transport within the park, several tour agencies offer various packages for visitors.
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, or simply the White House, is undoubtedly one of the most recognized residences in the world. Home to the US President, the White House is one of the major tourist attractions in the country. The White House has been the residence of every US President except the very first — George Washington. The original building at this site was built in 1792,then burnt down by the British in 1814. The present Neoclassical building was constructed soon after in 1818. You can pre-book a free tour of the White House, but do make sure to follow the rules and regulations that are specified for visitors.
US Capitol and National Mall
The US Capitol is the meeting chambers of the US Congress and the legislative branch of the Federal Government. It is one of the most impressive structures in the whole country and major tourist attraction. Pre-booked tours are available of the US Capitol. The building was completed in 1800 and is easily identified by its white-washed color, huge dome, and Corinthian columns. The US Capitol is part of the National Mall, which includes a number of iconic monuments, memorials, and museums of the country. Look straight from the US Capitol and you will be able to see the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial in a perfect straight line. Other landmarks are on the two flanks of the mall.
Las Vegas, the original Sin City, remains one of the most visited attractions in the USA. Packed with the grandest of themed hotels and casinos, it is nothing less than an adult entertainment theme park that never goes to sleep. Even if you are not into gambling, a visit to Las Vegas is a must to see the opulence of some of the hotels in a long stretch of the main road, popularly called the Las Vegas Strip. Such is the grandeur and décor of these hotels, that it may take you well over an hour to walk through the lobby of each hotel, and there are over a dozen of them. Some of these hotels host entertainment shows featuring some of the top artists of the world.
The Grand Canyon is one of the most unique natural wonders of the world. The canyon was carved by the Colorado River and its tributaries over thousands of years. It is 400 km long and attains a depth of nearly 2 km at certain regions. Nearly 2 billion years of geological activity has been exposed in the canyon, which is now one of the major nature attractions of the world. The southern part of the canyon has the best views and is open all the year round. The northern part is open only from mid May to mid October. Apart from casual sightseeing and hiking, tourists can also try skydiving and rafting at the Grand Canyon. Helicopter rides are also available above the canyon.
Located in upstate New York, the Niagara Falls is undoubtedly the most famous waterfall in the world. It is made up of 3 falls — Horseshoe, American, and Bridal Veil — that straddled the border of USA and Canada. While some of the best views are reserved for the Canadian side, tourists on the American side can still have a feel of the power and beauty of the falls. Those who want to enjoy the view of the falls from a closer range can take a boat ride to the base of the falls. The best way to get to the Niagara Falls is to drive or take a tour from the city of Buffalo in upstate New York.
Aptly named as this was the first view of the USA for those who crossed the Atlantic by ship in search of a better life. The Statue of Liberty is one of the most iconic statues of the world and a symbol of the USA. This colossal copper statue is of Libertas, the Roman Goddess. It was a gift from the people of France to USA and was built by Gustave Eiffel, the man who also built the Eiffel Tower. The statue is 46 m high, but if you add the huge pedestal, then it adds up to 93 m. Presently a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it was dedicated to the people in 1886. It stands on Liberty Island just off the New York City mainland and is accessible by ferry service. Visitors are allowed access inside the statue up to the crown but one has to buy the tickets through online pre-booking.

Q: How to Auto create a User Story for every new Feature created in TFS How to Auto create a Review User Story (Review US: ….) for every new Feature created in TFS.

A: There isn't build-in feature to achieve this in TFS at present. The workaround is that you can do it trough programming:

*

*Build an application (e.g. web api) to create work items and add links programming  (Parent-Child)

*Create a webhook for work item updated event, specify your app's API URL

Some articles about create work items programming:
Create Work Item in Team Services Through API
TFS API Part 22 – Create Link Between Work Item (Parent, Child etc…)
Simple code to create work item and add links:
var u = new Uri("team project collection url");
            string projectName = "team project";
            VssCredentials c = new VssCredentials(new Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.Common.WindowsCredential(new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domain")));

            TfsTeamProjectCollection tpc = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(u, c);
            tpc.EnsureAuthenticated();
            WorkItemStore ws = tpc.GetService(typeof(WorkItemStore)) as WorkItemStore;
            var project = ws.Projects[projectName];
            var taskWit = project.WorkItemTypes["Task"];

            var requirementsTask = taskWit.NewWorkItem();
            requirementsTask.Title = "Requirement";
            requirementsTask.Save();

            var SWTask = taskWit.NewWorkItem();
            SWTask.Title = "SW";
            SWTask.Save();

            var versionWit = taskWit.NewWorkItem();
            versionWit.Title = "Version";
            versionWit.Links.Add(new RelatedLink(requirementsTask.Id));
            versionWit.Links.Add(new RelatedLink(SWTask.Id));
            versionWit.Save();

Hope this helps.

While you could certainly write code to extract the values - and leave out the "space to space" - I think the possibility error looms large.
Is there any reason you can't use 2 input boxes, one asking for the low end of the range and another asking for the high end?
re: "pull this range of amount and paste it to another new workbook"
What do you mean "pull it and paste it"?
Paste just the 2 values or paste a list of incremental numbers between the 2 values?
What do you mean by "another new workbook"?
Is the code supposed to create a new workbook and paste the values in? If so, paste them where?
We need a lot more details before we can offer any solutions.
Wouldn't it be better to ask the user for the low end of the range in one input box and then the upper end of the range in a second input box.
Then both inputs can be tested to see that they are valid numbers, and that the upper value is > lower value.
Do you then boot the user out if they haven't used the format you expect, or do you add code to test for all possible variants of inputting a range.
Here is some code to parse two values from a single InputBox.
The code allows for "to" to separate the two numbers or ":" or a comma ",".
I just pasted the two values into two cells on another worksheet - as DerbyDad03 pointed out, we need a lot more information about what you are trying to do with these values, to be able to offer anything else.
vbCrLf & "Please try again"
MsgBox "First value must be less than second value"
As I stated earlier, asking for a specifiic string (e.g. x to y) is asking for trouble.
However, if that string is needed for reasons unknown to us, I wouldn't even bother checking for any of the multitude of other possible combinations.
If the string doesn't contain " to " then tell the user and move on.
yea actually you guys are correct.I should have put two text box one for upper limit and one for lower limit..
i manage to get it work out with the help of others.
MsgBox "Lower limit not valid"
MsgBox "Upper limit not valid"
I wonder why you are using text boxes for data entry. Why not use input boxes that you can display to the user and 'ask' for data entry.
That allows you the opportunity to be interactive.
currently, i have to run my code behind the screen before it gets prompted out.
You didn't mention that you had a user form.
Do you have UserForm1 or similar under Forms in the VB Project Explorer pane.
The general idea with a user form is that it is displayed and the user fills out fields, then clicks an 'OK' or 'Enter' button on the form, and the data is processed and entered into cells in the workbook.
The User Form has two text boxes for entering data, some associated Labels and Enter and Cancel command buttons. It might also have a Clear button, to clear the contents of the text boxes.
However for simple input - just two values you can use the visual basic code provided, that pops-up two Input boxes - each with a message - no need for a form.
In either case you need some trigger to show the form or start the visual basic code to display the input boxes.
The simplest is to embed a command button on the worksheet that the user clicks.
The code behind the button is either the call to display the user form or it is the visual basic code, suggested before.
How do you get this code to run - what is the trigger to start it.
What do you mean by 'prompted out' - what actually happens.
which loads the form but does not display it.
Further information on your User Form, especially how the user gets to start it and enter the Upper & Lower limit data, would help.


SCAMMERS posing at the Australian Federal Police (AFP) are targeting Australians in an attempt to blackmail them into handing over money to regain control of their computers.
According to SCAMwatch, this scam involves internet users finding that their computer has been frozen, with a pop-up alert appearing on their screen.
The alert claims to be from the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and states that the user's computer has been locked because they have visited an illegal website or breached various laws.
The scammer claims that they will unlock the computer if a fee is paid.
But SCAMwatch warns; the AFP does not solicit funds and this message is not associated with the AFP in any way.
"Don't let a scammer ransom you - if you pay, you are not guaranteed that you will regain control of your computer and there will likely be significant data losses once the virus is removed or computer unlocked," a spokesman said.
"If you have received this scam, unfortunately your computer's security has been compromised.
"Even if you have managed to regain control of your computer - whether by your own means or by paying the scammer - it could still be infected with malware.
"Use your security software to run a virus check but if you have any doubts, contact your anti-virus software provider or a computer specialist."
A SCAMwatch alert was previously issued in October 2012, yet contacts to the ACCC have continued to increase since the beginning of the year.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Association provides information to consumers and small businesses about how to recognise, avoid and report scams via their online portal, www.scamwatch.gov.au.
If you believe you may have been a victim of a scam, we would like to hear from you.
Out of the blue, your computer freezes and you receive a pop-up alert from what appears to be a reputable authority such as the Australian Federal Police.
The alert may include a police logo to make it appear legitimate.
In order to unlock the computer, you are instructed to pay a 'fine' - usually $100 or $199 - using a prepaid money service. These services involve you purchasing a money voucher from a store, which can then be used to make online payments.
Be wary about which websites you visit and do not open emails from unknown senders - emails may contain malware and some sites may automatically download malicious software on your computer.
Before you download a file, make sure it is from a reputable source.
If the file, is a program (for example, the file name ends with .exe) make sure you know exactly what it will do.
Always keep your computer security up to date with anti-virus and anti-spyware software and a good firewall.
Only buy computer and anti-virus software from a reputable source.
Be careful what you store on your computer - if a scammer gains access to your personal data, they can use it to steal your identity and your money.
If you think your computer has been infected, contact your bank or financial institution immediately and change your passwords.
If you receive a pop up alert and are unable to perform any functions on your computer, it may have been infected and you might need a computer specialist to remove the malware.
If you are able to perform some security functions on your computer, use your security software to run a virus check.
You can report scams to the ACCC via www.scamwatch.gov.au or by calling 1300 795 995.

Trax: A Platform That Digitizes The Physical World Of Retail – with Joel Bar-El [Ep#10]
On December 23, 2018 November 21, 2019 By Alexandre AzevedoIn Stories
Undoubtedly, Augmented Reality (AR) has an enormous potential to change several industries in the next years.
Trax, the startup of our 10th episode, is focusing its efforts on using AR to change the way retail companies manage their on shelf products. To retailers, that means being able to better visualize, in real-time, their products in-store conditions and performance across all retail channels, so they can get gather better insights about their strategies and execution.
In this episode, Joel Bar-El, co-founder of Trax, tells us how the startup went from an idea to contracts with giant retailers like Coca-Cola and Proctor & Gamble.
https://media.blubrry.com/thetractionstage/p/s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thetractionstagepodcast/Ep10_Trax_Joel_Bar-el.mp3
Before going directly to the story, I would like to briefly understand about the problem that you're solving and what kind of solutions does Trax offer to solve that problem.
Trax is solving the problem of digitizing the physical world of retail. Essentially, we work with global brand manufacturers like Coca-Cola and Procter & Gamble, as well as retailers like Tesco and Carrefour.
We are using computer vision algorithms to put cameras in the point of sale, taking pictures of shelf space and analysing those products—those SKUs—on shelf in a very high level of accuracy and in real time. And this information is helping those companies to perfect their in-store execution presentation on the shelf presence, pricing, promotions and interrelations between competing products on shelf.
TWO ISRAELIS IN SINGAPORE
Let's go back to 2010, which was the year of the foundation of Trax. Who were the co-founders, what were your backgrounds and how have you met each other.
There were two founders for the business. One is myself, and the other is Dror Feldheim.
I'm coming from a series of startups that I've been establishing. So, this is not my first venture. I was working at Sanger, the data system, for about seven years after graduation from university. And then after seven years, decided to move from the corporate world and open my first startup. There was a second [startup] that somehow—through life's mysterious ways—I found myself in Singapore, coming out of Israel. And then I sold my latest startup and I was actually looking to do some kind of a sabbatical after selling my company.
Dror—my co-founder—came from Switzerland, where he was living for 12 years. He's also an ex-Israeli, and he came to Singapore, following his wife. His background is more about the retail execution. He was working for a private equity fund, which used to invest in consumer brands—so, he knew that work very well. He came to Singapore and had an idea in his head that [solving] the problem of visualizing the physical shelf in retail can be a tremendous help and tremendous business value to global manufacturers.
We met by coincidence, our daughters were going to the same kindergarden—as random as that. Because they were new in Singapore, we hosted them in our house. And this is how we first met.
PIVOTING INITIAL IDEA
Did you have, in that time, the perfect idea of what Trax would become?
When we started the main theme about visualizing the physical shelf was there from the beginning—from day one. Dror came with the need and I came with the technological solution.
But actually, when we looked at that, the first application that we thought of was really to harness it more for shopper marketing—to put these technologies through glasses, so people could shop in the store. Essentially, the computer vision algorithms would track what people were looking at—to have more a consumer tracking device when he's shopping.
The first meeting we've ever did was with Procter & Gamble, and we just exploited an opportunity where a very senior guy from Procter was visiting Singapore. Actually, he was one of the people heading the innovation side on P&G, and we presented to him the solution.
And he basically said: "This is very nice. But if you can harness the same technology and help us to find out about share of shelf, plan around compliance, perfect store conditions, etc, that would be more valuable to P&G at that moment in time." So, basically, a few days after we established the company with that mindset, we actually shifted—based on P&G feedback—to the specific focus we have today.
So, basically, a few days after we established the company with that mindset, we actually shifted—based on P&G feedback—to the specific focus we have today.
THE MINIMUM VIABLE PRODUCT
How was this first MVP or this first version of Trax like?
We had a very good vision and start at how to build the solution, but we knew it's going to take time. In the solution there are many automated sections and some manual sections, but it's mostly supposed to be completely automated as it is today.
Obviously, at the beginning, we didn't have time, resources or personnel to do everything automated. So, essentially, we broke the solution into components. And some components, which were automated in vision, we actually did them manually. We broke the process in a way that—since the scale of the beginning is a fairly low scale—you could actually replace many components with manual alternatives.
We actually analysed the images, but we just use the people [to do it]. And by doing that, we also were building in parallel the recognition engine. And we used that annotation also to train the engine, how to recognize the product. […]
It was just you and Dror or have you hired more people to do that?
We had some funding at the beginning. Initially, we ourselves put some funding and then we had some early investors—kind of a seed funding. We had a small development team in Israel, doing the initial development of the product and we hired one or two people in Singapore to help us. Altogether, the company was around seven people.
A STRONG CEO
How was this effort of raising funds when you had actually no traction for your startup? How difficult it was, and how did you manage to be successful with that?
To be honest, we were very lucky and it was not that difficult. The seed money that we had come from people who knew us—you can call it friends and family—probably two years of the company. And we did one thing which I think was good and people can learn from that. We were the founders, but Dror knew—from a previous acquaintance—a lady in Switzerland, with the name of Tamara Minick-Scokalo.
She was a very senior person within consumer brands manufacturers, so she was working for Kraft, Cadbury, Coca-Cola, other big brands and Procter & Gamble as well. And we brought her—she was just leaving Kraft—to be the CEO of the company, from day one.
While we were focusing on the solution and on delivering the first version of the product, she was basically providing us not only with her wisdom, experience and strategic direction, she brought a lot of credibility into the team and into the idea. She was also one of the early investors who invested in the company. While she was there, she could reach out to the people she knew and to her Rolodex. She was not only opening doors for us to do more pilots and get market traction, she made it easier to get seed investment from people who are kind of close to the industry.
While she was there, she could reach out to the people she knew and to her Rolodex. She was not only opening doors for us to do more pilots and get market traction, she made it easier to get seed investment from people who are kind of close to the industry.
Everybody that understands that industry immediately saw the need for the solution and I think that it gave a lot of comfort to people to see her in the CEO role. […]
A LONG WAY TO RECURRING REVENUES
What about generating more traction for the platform in this years, what kind of marketing strategies did you notice that really worked well for you?
It took us a long time to get our first ever real recurrent revenue contract. As I mentioned before, in the summer of 2011, we had the first-day pilot. Actually, the first recurrent client, which really signed a long-term agreement to use the service was only in the summer of 2013. So, two years of pilots, and all kinds of pilots with all kinds of companies in all kinds of places, and many of the pilots lasted multiple months, and some of them even 4, 6, 8 and 12 months.
Eventually, that was a very tough journey. We learned a lot from that journey. The product became more mature, we added features, we were becoming more robust. But the only breakthrough was when we signed our first ever recurrent real contract. And when we had that, suddenly, all the contracts started to follow and coming one after the other.
So, we needed to have that first one, that basically bet on our solution and that gave us enough credibility in the market to go and sign up additional ones, within the same ecosystem of the first client—Coca-Cola, in Australia—and then after that with additional brands.
But the only breakthrough was when we signed our first ever recurrent real contract. And when we had that, suddenly, all the contracts started to follow and coming one after the other.
And why exactly did these pilots take so long? What was the process of convincing people like?
PRESENTING THE TECHNOLOGY
One of the challenges that we had to face is that it's not only a pilot to prove a specific technology works or a solution works. First, it is to convince that this technology exists and it's accurate, consistent and reliable. Because we were the first to come to the market with such a solution and we needed to educate the market.
So, the pilots were not only to prove something very specific. It's also a broader conviction around a computer vision as a tool, which is reliable and consistent. In many cases, there were people running the pilot and not necessarily people signing the budget for a rollout. You needed to convince the whole value chain in order to do that. That was a process of educating the market.
CHANGING PROCESSES
The second challenge is that our solution specifically changes the way those companies are operating in the market. They need to educate their sales force, they need to invest in different hardware sometimes, and they need maybe to buy or upgrade some of the mobile devices of their field force. So, there were other obstacles that needed to happen.
Over time, obviously, by just a normal course of business, those devices were changing and a more advanced technology was on the hands of those front guys that were supposed to take the images. So, that was also a matureness process that happened in the world moving from iPhone one to an iPhone four or an iPhone six, etc.
Over time, obviously, by just a normal course of business, those devices were changing and a more advanced technology was on the hands of those front guys that were supposed to take the images.
PROVING VALUE
And the last part is really to prove that, operationally, our value solution is actually bringing tangible value, increasing revenue, increasing market share. And it took time for those companies to test those elements and to be convinced that each is showing a consistent result of improvement.
Normally, those big companies are very cautious—especially when working with small companies and startups like Trax. In that sense, they took more time to vet that consistency, reliability and predictability of the results were really there.
A piece of advice for start-up entrepreneurs that want to go to this process of building a startup generate the traction for their businesses…
PREPARE TO KNOCK ON MANY DOORS
One [advice] is that we knocked on many, many doors. So, not to be despair, continue believing in your idea. The more doors we opened, the more opportunities and the more traction we had in the market. That was a very good strategy, which gave us a lot of opportunities.
And a "door" is not only clients. It can be advisers, it can be bankers, it can be investors, it can be many people. Eventually, most industries in the world—especially when you're talking about niche market solution, like Trax— are closed ecosystems and a good thing normally travels. The word of mouth travels fast and people get to hear about it.
The second advice is we started with the biggest companies out there. Sometimes, people think it's easier to go to the smaller companies, which are more agile in terms of taking decisions. If we would have gone to a small company, probably we couldn't get the contract before 2013. But I think that they'll learn from our experience at least that going to the large companies is the better strategy.
Yes, it takes more time, but those companies have budgets for innovation, they're open to try new things, and they have people dedicated for that—so, their ability to get pilots is easier. And the reputation that those companies have. Even while piloting with them that reputation is helping the company a lot when it comes to its branding and its fundraising efforts.
Eventually, if one of those pilots becomes into a contract, the reputation for the overall market is such that it would be much easier to get any other contract in the market versus the other way around. If you start with a small company, it doesn't matter if you have 10 small companies, still the Procter and the Coca-Cola of the world, we look at you and say: "this does not count, these are just small companies."
Eventually, if one of those pilots becomes into a contract, the reputation for the overall market is such that it would be much easier to get any other contract in the market versus the other way around.
LOOK FOR PARTNERSHIPS
And the last point is that we found an auxiliary ecosystem to Trax. In our case, it was sales force automation systems, which was a very fiercely competitive market—it really is today, as well. And we offered that component, that image recognition capability as a differentiator to those companies.
And we managed to have a lot of alliance or partnership contracts signed in those early days, with many of those companies. It didn't generate to Trax nothing—not even $1 from those partnerships.
But those companies, then met with the retail guys on the brand manufacturing side. And since there were many of those companies all trying to compete with one another—and all of them trying to get the same type of advantage—that was very effective marketing tool, which really helped us in getting traction in the market.

Thanks for this post. Image recognition technology is changing a lot about visual merchandising and is, in my opinion, the companion technology for 3D planograms that can enhance display choices.

Right, Matt! And it's unbelievable the number of possibilities we create when we allow computers to sense the world the same way we do. When we don't need to "translate" the world to the computers, we can use all their capabilities to help us achieve instantaneous results we haven't even thought about before. 🙂

For over two decades Scrum has been primarily used by Software Development teams. Ensuring transparency gives them a number of benefits, such as the ability to focus on value, experiment, improve and quickly react to new knowledge. Given its widespread adoption, it comes as no surprise that non-IT groups have shown interest in Scrum. However their context, product and situation often differ from teams delivering a software product, therefore their path to agility might also be different. Over the last two years, we've been working with a couple of non-IT teams experimenting with Scrum. During that period we've noticed a number of similarities, but also significant differences between software development and non-technical groups. We will give you overview of our experiences so that you'll be better prepared for transforming your organization.
Our experiences from Introducing Scrum in Sales and Customer Support Teamsin inFakt and Codewise companies were gathered in a Case Study prepared for XP 2018 conference.

Lion Cubs Born To Be Horriffically Shot and Killed
Beautiful lion cubs don't know their fate, when they are being held and photographed by tourists, at a so called 'Petting' lion but farm in South Africa.
The thousands of visitors who get close to the young lion cubs, would be shocked beyond belief, it they knew that they were supporting the unthinkable trade and not knowing, that later on, that in their life, these cubs, when grown up, would be sold on, to be prepared for being shot, by evil Trophy Hunters.
The lion cubs on these so called Petting farms are often heart-breakingly, wrenched from their mothers, when they are just one day onld. This enables the lioness to mate again quicker, thus providing the Petting farms with a continued supply of young lion cubs, for photography and later to be shot.
The people who are involved, the vile killers, are the so called Trophy Hunters. (Coward selfish killers).
GreenEcoPeace says, jail these animal thugs for Wildlige Crime.
Secret Hidden Camera's Expose A Bloody Mess, Terrifying and Agonizing Slaughter of Animals in the UK by Simply Halal in Burnham, Norfolk - Now Shut Down after Investigation.
David Cameron Prime Minister shockingly, shockingly, agrees, that Halal and Kosher slaughter houses serving the Muslim and Jewish communities, can continue cutting the throats of animals, in the name of their religion, for meat and they can be exempt from rules requiring that all animals must be stunned before slaughter, (so they are not aware of what is happening), otherwise they are horrifyingly fully aware of what is happening. No different to your pet or child having an operation without anesthetic, unthinkable. Animals and humans have similar feelings.
A sickening video from hidden camera's, clearly shows sheep, terrifyingly wriggling and trying to escape from metal tubs, filled with their blood, after having their throats cut. Others that struggled and fell out of the blood filled tubs, were aggressively thrown back in, to continue bleeding to death.
Terrified sheep, were watching their friends dying in agony, one was hoisted up pumping out it's own blood, wriggling, trying to escape, when it crashed to the floor. Video footage. There were no blind folds on the sheep and no prays said, as is supposed to be, only sear words.
Simply Halal said, "that they had not done anything wrong".
Sean Wensley, president of the British Veterinary Association, said "the treatment of animals in the video footage, was "unacceptable".
We are living in the year 2000, where all animals should be stunned before slaughter. We are not living in the darker ages, where cruelty prevailed in the slaughtering of animals.
Now, no animals should suffer, No No No!
Washed Up Whales Die Full of Plastic
Whales washed up on North Sea beaches had stomachs full of plastic rubbish, tests have shown.
More than 36 have perished this year alone including six on the British coastline. Investigators carried out tests on 13 whales that had been found washed up on a single beach in Germany.
They discovered a 43ft fisherman's net, a 3ft cover from a car's engine compartment and parts of a broken bucket in the creature's stomach's.
The whales were thought to have been following squid swept into the North Sea by violent storms in the north-eastern Atlantic. They became stranded in shallow waters and were washed up on beaches in the northern German state of Schieswig-Hol stein.
Experts said eating the plastic rubbish meant the whales had 'starved with full stomachs'. The Daily Mail has led the campaign to banish plastic bags to stop rubbish polluting our land and sea. Last year England finally introduced a 5p charge for plastic carrier bags, the last UK nation to do so.
Professor Ursula Siebert from Hanover Veterinary College, who was among experts who examined the whales, said all of the animals were males aged between 10 and 15 and weighed between 12 and 18 tons.
A 15 ton sperm whale would need to eat around 992lb of food to sustain itself, she said. The dead whales had nothing but plastic in their stomachs
Local environment minister Robert Habeck said; 'These findings show us the results of our plastic orientated society. Animals Inad, vertently consume plasic and plastic waste which causes them to suffer and at worst, causes them to starve with full stomachs'.
In Britain, whales washed up at beaches in Norfolk and Lincolnshire in late January and early February.
Why is it Allowed
Denmark is a member of the E.U. Faeroe Islands are part of the Danish Kingdom and receive subsidies from Denmark.
It is illegal to kill whales within the E.U and in Denmark.
Denmark receives subsidies from the E.U, so why are the Faeroe Islanders allowed to brutally kill these whales, some being dragged, by boats, with ropes, screaming. Their fate awaits them, the Faeroe Island killers, on the beach, with their children, excited to brutally stab and hack them to death. 250 whales on the shores of Bour and Torshavn, have just been brutally stabbed and hacked to death, by the Faeroe Islanders and their children.
Faeroe Islanders kill upt to 2000 dolphins and whales every year, herding them into the shores
and with the cruelest and barbaric methods ever imaginable, just to slaughter them and just for the fun of it. With the killings, the whole of the bay's are a sea of red blood, with the Faeroe Islanders and their children laughing, swimming and reveling in it.
These Faeroe Islanders in our opinion, are cruel, sick people.
Two Danish war ships, HMDS Triton and HDMS Knud Rasmussen supported the Faeroe Islanders and stopped conservationists, from trying to stop the massacres. The police were also very heavy handed, with the conservationist and they arrested many of them.
Many thanks to Sea Shepherd for these very sad photos, Sea Shepherd will always have our support and we are proud that we have had many meetings with Captain Paul Watson, founder of the Sea Shepherd conservation group and the captains of their ships.
The Swan Story
After litter picking in the Solent, we found a swan in agony with a large fish hook in its mouth and the line wrapped around its neck. This swan was in danger of dying and little did we know at the time, that she had a family waiting for her. After approximately 4 hours, we managed to get her out of the water and onto the pontoon, where we carried out a small operation, which was successful.
We released her and she happily swam away, only to return with her partner and new family of four, especially to say, thank you.
Very touching and extremely rewarding.

Gordon Ramsay Attacked, Costa Rica, Shark Defining 100,000,000 Sharks have their fins cut off and are thrown back into the sea, alive, every year and die.
Chef Gordon Ramsay was doused in petrol and threatened at gun point while filming a TV program about Shark Defining.
Gordon Ramsay was in Costa Rica filming about the illegal trade in shark fins. Gordon Ramsay said, "that shark fins is a multi-billion dollar industry and completely unregulated". We traced some of the biggest culprits to Costa Rica. The day before we got there a Taiwanese crew landed a haul of Hammerhead sharks. Police searched the boat and found bails of cocaine.
These gangs operate from places that are like forts, with barbed wire perimeters and gun towers.
Imagine the pain all these sharks have had to go through removing their fins.
Gordon Ramsay says, "I managed to shake off the people who were keeping us away, I ran up some stairs to a rooftop and looked down to see thousands and thousands of fins drying on rooftops as far as the eye could see."
Gordon Ramsay says, "when I got back down stairs, the gangsters tipped a barrel of petrol over me." Suddenly there were cars with blacked out windows appearing from nowhere, they were trying to block us in. We decided to immediately dive into our car and clear off.
Later on in the trip myself and the film crew managed to talk our way onto one of the fishing boats involved in the illegal shark fin trade.
Gordon Ramsay said, in a quite moment, I dived from the boat to swim with the fish Marlin. I swam under the keel of the boat and saw this sack tied to it. I opened the sack and it was full of illegal shark fins. The minute I through this back on deck everyone started screaming and shouting.
When I got back to the wharf, there was lots of people pointing rifles at us trying to stop us filming. Suddenly a van pulled up and one of these seedy characters made us stand against a wall. We heard the police cars and the police came over to us and advised us to leave the country immediately. The police said, "if you set one foot wrong, they could shoot you."
Despite a governmental crack down, Costa Rica's trade in shark fins is thought to be one of the most lucrative in the world and is controlled by the Taiwanese and Indonesian mafia. One port in Costa Rica alone, is thought to receive, three ship loads of the illegal shark fins every week and globally, the trade is worth in access of a billion a year. A single pound of shark fin, can sell for more than £150. Approximately 100 million sharks and probably more are killed for their fins every year, their live bodies are then thrown back into the sea to slowly drown and die an agonizing death.
Costa Rica is no longer romantic and the nation of great tasting coffee, it now seems to be a nation of ecological destruction, corruption, shark killers and rain forest destroyers and one of the most destructive nations on earth. Shark finning activities goes on in the port of Puntarenas, where it is also controlled by a type of underworld. The cruelly killed sharks fins are to be seen drying out on many rooftops of buildings.
Sharks are disappearing from our oceans fast. Last year over 100 million sharks were killed, just for their fins for tasteless shark fin soup (shark fin soup gets its taste from add ons).
Around the Cocos Island, there is virtually no sharks and now more dangerous predators have moved in, one being the giant squid, which will eat its own kind and kill humans. One of the sharks main food is squid, kill the sharks and the Eco-system is seriously affected.
Killing off our endangered sea mammals seriously affects the workings of nature. Kill off the Eco-system and you will slowly kill off the human species.
Shame on Him
This beautiful elephant one of the oldest in Zimbabwe was shot dead for the fun of it by a German Trophy hunter.
GreenEcoPeace vows with their intelligence, to identify the German hunter, who shot dead this superb prehistoric line, magnificent elephant, so this man can be vilified,
Such animals as these, are very rare and the tusks were torn off and the German bragged,
that each ivory tusk, weighed approximately 120lb. This evil German person paid over £39,000 for the privilege of shooting this elephant and watching it die.
We've got the photograph as in the picture and we will identify him!
To shoot this beautiful innocent animal was wrong.
From Sir David Attenborough to GreenEcoPeace
'While I have indeed spoken out about iniquity (wickedness and injustice) of whale hunting, whenever I have found an appropriate moment, I have not been in the forefront of the drive which has been so successful in protecting whales over recent year'.
David Attenborough goes on to say, 'I believe that the one person in Britain, possibly in the world who did more than any other was Sir Peter Scott. He not only raised public perception, but also took on the grinding drudgery of sitting in committee after committee drafting the legislation, arguing and persuading'. Sir David Attenborough.
Sir David Attenborough Speaks Out on Behalf of the Badger
Sir David Attenborough in Badger Cull Blast.
Sir David Attenborough has accused ministers of 'ignoring' evidence, after the badger cull was extended.
Sir David Attenborough said 'when they don't get the results they want, they want to extend by a further 8 weeks'. Sir David Attenborough goes on to say, 'it is simply not believing in science'.
GreenEcoPeace says, 'don't move the goal posts Mr Cameron and don't kill our wild badgers.
Sir Richard Branson Swim's with Tiger sharks, Western Australia Kills
Premier of the State of Western Australia Colin Barnetts, murderous shark cull/killing policy and sanctioned by the minister for the Environment Greg Hunt, Western Australia is disgustingly killing the beautiful endangered Tiger Sharks.
We have just seen another three Tiger Sharks sickeningly caught with baited drum lines. The small Tiger Shark 2.2 mtrs (approx 7ft) had been horrifically struggling for hours, sharks need to swim all the time to ventilate their gills. This Tiger shark along with the other two had hooks through their heads for hours. The other beautiful Tiger Sharks approx 3 mtrs long, were shot a number of times, hung up by their noses then dumped out at sea.
Previously Western Australia have already dragged out and mercilessly shot and killed one other beautiful Tiger Shark, it was gutted and dumped out at sea. The smaller younger shark was dragged onto the deck, the hook was removed from her head using a knife. It appeared that the wound was already badly infected and then further injuries were caused by the knife to the head. The young shark after being man handled was thrown overboard and will now probably die.
There will be a possible legal challenge against the indiscriminate killing of Australia's precious marine wildlife.
Valerie Taylor, with her late partner Ron, made a living out of filming sea life for 50 years, say's "The Tiger Sharks she met, in all her experiences, had been pleasant, nice and gentle sharks".
Weeping Arctic Ice
This eerie picture of a sad weeping face, is a true picture of an Arctic ice glazier melting.
Lecturer on the Arctic, Michael Nolan who photographed this amazing sad face, said that he regularly goes to the area and he has noticed that the glazier has been disappearing, at the rate of approximately 150 feet a year.
We all have to realise now that global warming is not something we just hear about, it is seriously happening now and is and will be in the future, affecting you and more seriously, will affect your children and their children's children.

Revealed For The First Time
There will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050. This has also been confirmed by Dame Ellen MacArthur. One Solar-Powered vacuum ship could suck up 24,000 tons of ocean plastic every year, this could be the answer. The ship will work by funneling plastic waste as it moves forward. The deck mounted solar panels and two wind turbines, will feed power to electric pumps and filters that can suck up plastic solids and micro plastic. An on board shredder will rip apart and break up larger pieces of debris.
The vessel once built, will be around 144 ft long and fully autonomous.
Images of seals, turtles, mammals and sea birds trapped in plastic rings, ropes and sheeting is shocking, what agony and pain they must be going through because of us humans.
Humans. Are we starting to slowly kill ourselves. Professor Tamara Galloway of Exeter University quotes, "research estimates that anyone consuming an average amount of sea food would ingest about 11,000 micro plastic particles a year.
Reports say, plastic has increased 20 fold in our oceans in the past 50 years
More than 5 trillion pieces of plastic, collectively weighing approximately 270,000 tons, are floating in the worlds oceans, causing damage throughout the food chain, this is after new research.
Findings show that the garbage patches in the middle of the 5 subtropical gyres (areas), are not the final resting places for the worlds floating plastic trash.
The end game for micro plastic is interactions with entire ocean ecosystems. The 5 major ocean garbage patches are, the South Atlantic gyre, the Indian Ocean gyre, the North Pacific gyre, the South Pacific gyre and the North Atlantic gyre and there's lots of garbage and plastic floating around the UK. A model of the vacuum ship has already been built, lets hope funding will come quickly to build the big vacuum super ship.
The Hindu Goddess Gadhimai Festival
Helping to bring to the attention of the world, the ruthless barbaric slaughter of 250,000 animals and birds. This horrific ritual, known as the Gadhimai festival, is the worlds biggest slaughter festival. This festival is to worship the Hindu goddess Gadhimai. This a Hindu festival but it's not part of the Hindu faith and the Hindu council UK says' "it's no part of the faith and no part of Hinduism".
The famous actress Joanna Lumley spoke out strongly at the demonstration against the horrific slaughter ritual, Joanna led campaigners and an 80,000 rushed signatures, were delivered to the Nepalese embassy in London.
Compassion in World Farming spoke out and said, this cruel slaughter festival must stop and that people, should write to the ambassador, embassy of Nepal, 12a Kensington Palace Gardens, W8 4QU, telling them to stop the slaughter festival.
GreenEcoPeace (Alan Marston), gave a video appeal and support, for those trying to stop the slaughter in Nepal. Alan also challenged a Hindu representative, from the Hindu Council UK, asking him, why there hadn't been a request worldwide, for millions of signatures, from Hindu's, to help try and stop the horrific festival slaughter, in particular, from the many millions of Hindu's, who are whole heartedly against this shocking ritual. Lorna Whincop (GreenEcoPeace) was making her voice loud and clear chanting No More Gadhimai, No More Slaughter. The whole area was soon filled with chanting from everybody.
The Hindu representative, advised Alan, that politics were involved surrounding this merciless festival slaughtering event. The Nepalese government subsidise the festival.
This event, unless stopped, will take place again, this November the 28th and 29th in southern Nepal.
The suffering of these animals and birds is unimaginable, they are sacrificed or hacked to bits and believe it or not, this cruel festival is part funded the Nepalese government.
The campaign, as you can see from the photo's, was extremely well supported.
IWC Meeting, Slovenia, Commencing 15th September 2014
The EU, Allows Whales to be Cruelly Slaughtered by Greenland.
This shameful decision was given at the IWC (International Whaling Commission) meeting, at Portoroz Slovenia, earlier on in the meeting.
The Greenland whale killers, have just been given permission to hunt and slaughter 164 Minke whales, 12 Fin whales, 2 Bowhead whales and 10 Humpback whales per year, for the next 4 years, that is, 750 whales approximately. Incidently, there is no controls, it could be 50% more.
Greenland claim that they are Inuit, but whale meat in Greenland, is on the dinner plates in restaurants, in supermarkets and fish markets.
Whales suffer a long and lingering death when they are cruelly harpooned with explosives.
It was also found, that jewellery was made from the magnificent Orca whales teeth and Narwhal tusks were available. There was a whole range of whale products sickeningly for sale, along with, belief it or not, the heads of Porpoises and Seal meat.
Somebody is making a lot of money from killing our wonderful, endangered, prehistoric whales and mammals.
Now Japan, has submitted proposals, to kill whales again in the Antarctic Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.
Japan's Antarctic hunt was declared illegal, by the International Court of Justice Holland only this year 31st March 2014.
35 governments, have called on Iceland as well to stop whaling and selling whale products as they are also killing vast amounts of whales. Iceland's leading seafood company, H B Grandi, has been connected to the endangered Fin whale hunt.
The animal welfare institute has said, that it welcomes the fact, that so many governments, have protested against Iceland, killing whales, Iceland has killed 109 endangered Fin whales and 23 Minke whales this year, this is totally unacceptable in our world today. Whaling in fact was not going to be part of the agenda at IWC this year, so Iceland cunningly thought they would get away with it, but a protest was signed, Iceland was not ready for this. Iceland is part of the Danish Kingdom.
Greenland is not Inuit, there are supermarkets, fish markets and restaurants everywhere. Greenland is part of the Danish kingdom, Denmark is in Europe, it is illegal to be part of any whale killing or selling of any whale meat in Europe.
Something here doesn't make sense, does it?
Japan To Defy The Hague Court
From our Intelligence Service - In Brief
Japan is to defy the Hague Court order made 31st March 2014. The order says, that Japan cannot kill whales in the Antarctic Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary, under the deceit, of Scientific Research. Japan says, it will go to the Antarctic Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary to kill whales in 2015, some say that they may go this year, to kill whales. We will be watching.
Our conservation colleagues the Sea Shepherds, we are given to understand, will be sending three ships to the Antarctic Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary to monitor the situation and will be there to uphold the law and intervene if necessary.
GreenEcoPeace will be reporting on the situation later.
Japan said in the Second World War, that they were the chosen ones and invincible.
We hope not!
Japan, Yushin Maru Dragging Whales
Australia with witness from New Zealand and backed by Conservationists and GreenEcoPeace Wins Whaling Case, Japan Demoralised
Presiding Judge Peter Tomka of Slovakia said Japan had not justified the large number of minke whales it takes under its program.
Japan has said it will abide by the decision.
"Japan regrets and is deeply disappointed that JARPA II … has been ruled by the court as not falling within the provisions of Article 8."
The ICJ, by 12 votes to four, said Japan had not acted in compliance with its obligations under the international whaling convention.
Four years ago former environment minister Peter Garrett helped launch legal action against Japan in the International Court of Justice to try and put a stop to its controversial Antarctic whaling program.
It was the first time any country had used an international court to try to stop whaling.
Mr Garrett said he felt vindicated by the decision Labor made in 2010 to pursue the case against so-called "scientific whaling'' in The Hague.
"I'm absolutely over the moon, for all those people who wanted to see the charade of scientific whaling cease once and for all,'' he told ABC Radio.
"I think (this) means without any shadow of a doubt that we won't see the taking of whales in the Southern Ocean in the name of science."
The Sea Shepherd group was overwhelmed with the decission, as it had defened the whales and made daring clashes with the Japanese to save the whales.
Current Labor deputy leader Tanya Plibersek said Monday's ruling meant a program which saw thousands of whales killed in Antarctic waters had at last been ended.
"The (coalition) government should now take up discussions with Japan to co-operate on genuine and non-lethal methods of whaling research," she said.
Current Greens leader Christine Milne also paid tribute to the "champions" at Sea Shepherd, calling the ICJ verdict "justice at last".
Paul Watson voiced doubt about Japan's pledges to comply with the ruling but said his group – which has become a thorn in Tokyo's side – would send its three-ship fleet to the Atlantic if Japan ended its practice."
" Paul Watson said, I'm not 100 per cent convinced they will abide by the ruling. Japan tends to agree and then they do whatever they want to do anyway and that has been their history with the International Whaling Commission.''
Australia had asked the court to ban Japan's annual hunt on the basis it was not "for purposes of scientific research'' as allowed under Article 8 of the 1946 International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling.
Japan, however, countered during a three-week hearing in mid-2013 that the ICJ didn't have the authority to decide what was, or wasn't, science.
Japan insisted lethal research was both lawful and necessary.
But in the UN court the Hague they dismissed Tokyo's argument.
Tokyo was criticised for doubling its target to 850 minke whales each year after 2005 without first assessing the research effectiveness of its earlier program, which had a much smaller sample size.
Japan hunts around a thousand mostly minke whales annually in the icy waters of the Southern Ocean.
Australia and environmental groups say the hunt serves no scientific purpose and is just a way for Japan to get around the moratorium on commercial whaling imposed by the International Whaling Commission in 1986.
Although the popularity of whale meat is declining in Japan, it is considered a delicacy by some, and meat from the hunt is sold commercially.
Japan has said it will abide by the ruling of the court, known as the World Court, which is the United Nations' court for disputes between countries.
European Court of Justice Throws Out Seal Killers Appeal
(BRUSSELS)—The Court of Justice of the European Union, has dismissed an appeal by commercial sealing and fur trade interests and some Inuit representatives. The appeal sought to overturn the European General Court's 2011 decision that the applicants' action against the EU ban was inadmissible.
The EU's decision to ban trade in cruel products of commercial seal slaughter remains an entirely democratic and legitimate action. The appellants simply do not have legal standing to challenge this legislative act, which came into being through the EU's complex and highly democratic decision-making system.
"In their attempt to have their challenge deemed admissible, the appellants claimed that Regulation (EC) 1007/2009 on trade in seal products was a regulatory act, rather than a legislative one. It is an affront to EU democratic processes to argue that the ban, which was adopted by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union under the codecision procedure, was not a legislative act."
In April 2013, the European General Court rejected a separate action brought by commercial sealing industry interests and Inuit representatives, which sought to annul the European Commission Regulation that provides detailed rules for the implementation of the EU ban on trade in seal products.
An appeal to this decision was lodged in July 2013.
A separate application to have the EU seal product trade ban overturned was rejected in April 2010

This is one of my favorite dishes. Eggplant is such a tasty addition to any pasta meal.
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In one bowl, mix eggs, milk, seasonings. In another bowl, add your bread crumbs. Using a frying pan add your oil and set to medium heat. Slice your eggplant. Take each slice of eggplant and dip into the egg mix and then into the bread crumbs. Place each slice in your oil and let brown on each side. Drain eggplant on paper towel.
2. In your baking dish layer pasta sauce at the bottom and begin layering your eggplant slices that have been lightly breaded and fried. Add pasta sauce and cheeses and repeat layering two more times. Once you have finished you will add the rest of the sauce and cheeses to the top.
3. Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool and serve aside the pasta of your choice.
Note: I use organic eggplant and whole grain thin spaghetti. Pasta sauce is your choice. I usually use Spicy Red Pepper by Classico or Prego's Tomato, Basil, and Garlic. Spice up your sauce by adding fresh basil as well.
Tonight's Dinner fresh out the oven.
The iron, calcium and other minerals in eggplant supply the essential nutrients required by the body. All this, while relishing a highly flavorful veggie, is a good deal, indeed! Stuff, grill, bake, roast, stew your eggplants—they're delicious in most avatars!
Eggplants contain certain essential phyto nutrients which improve blood circulation and nourish the brain. But remember—these nutrients are concentrated in the skin of the eggplant, so don't char and throw it away.
They provide fiber, which protects the digestive tract. In fact, regular intake of eggplants can protect you from colon cancer.
Eggplants have a role in heart care, too. Research studies show they can lower 'bad' cholesterol. But you must cook them the right way to get these benefits. Fried eggplant soaks up a lot of fat, making it harmful and heavy. Instead, bake it at 400 degrees, which brings out glorious flavor and gives you all the goodness an eggplant holds!
Regular consumption of eggplant helps prevent blood clots—thanks again to Vitamin K and bioflavonoids, which strengthen capillaries.


Was Tom Acton a strict but loving father who just cared a bit too much about his family? Or was he a mentally deranged killer, who shot his own daughter to death because she'd dared to disobey him?

Pretty, flirtatious Kathy Acton is a 19-year-old who thinks nothing of having an affair with a married man. Then, one day, she goes missing. Her parents, Tom and Carol, are devastated when a badly mutilated body is discovered. But as the police begin to investigate, they are forced to confront Carol with a terrifying possibility: that the truth behind the killing could lie very close to home.
