The remains of several dead whales drew large crowds to the St. Simons Island shoreline Wednesday morning, a day after a viral video captured a massive rescue effort for about 25 pilot whales.The video, which was shared on News4Jaxs Facebook page, shows the more than two dozen whales that had beached themselves along the shore. People who saw what happened all got together and helped get the whales back in the water.They stuck with it until the pilot boat actually came and kind of intervened to push the pod off past the pier because they were afraid the whole pod would try to beach again to stick with the one that was sick, St. Simons Island resident Terri Taylor said, describing the rescue effort.The video was posted by Dixie McCoy. Numerous News4Jax viewers shared the video. It is so sad. Oh my God. Theyre going to die if they dont get help, McCoy is heard saying. We need angels out here today. The Wildlife Resources Division from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources said most of the whales were successfully pushed back out into the water but three of the whales did not survive.I think I saw a once in a lifetime occurrence yesterday when the whales came up. My daughter-in-law came up, she was on the kayak. At first, she thought they were dolphins, then she noticed they have fins and they were actually whales, witness Lee Dorough said. Then we heard them scream that there were two up on the shore. There were 30 in that pod, and they all went running up there. My son and my granddaughter plus so many people were trying to get them out to sea. Dr. Quinton White, the executive director of the Marine Science Research Institute at Jacksonville University, said he was told by a former student that the phenomenon occurred near a Coast Guard post on East Beach.Hours after this happened, Glynn County Emergency Management posted on Facebook saying in part: This has been an unusual occurrence but events like these can really show the level of care and support from our community. Thank you to everyone that helped those that couldnt help themselves today.White said apparently the whales have been near the shore recently, but its unclear why. The Wildlife Division said pilot whales are the most common type to strand in large numbers.The Georgia Department of Natural Resources was on site investigating, White said. One by one, many of the whales were helped back out to sea. Amazing, McCoy says in the video. A sight I never thought Id see in a lifetime.
Florida's 2-day sport lobster season opens next week
The 2019 spiny lobster season opens with the two-day recreational mini-season July 24-25, followed by the regular commercial and recreational lobster season, which starts Aug. 6 and runs through March 31, 2020.Spiny lobster season is an exciting time of year to be on the water, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Chairman Robert Spottswood said. But its also a time to remember safety on the water and to remember the importance of taking care around Floridas important coral reefs. Participants must have a recreational saltwater fishing license and a spiny lobster permit to recreationally harvest unless they are exempt from recreational license requirements.Florida wildlife officials have details on bag limits, size limits, where to harvest and other regulations on their website.Wildlife officials are asking harvesters using bully netting to keep lights directed toward the water and avoid shining them at houses or people along the shoreline.Anyone caught with illegal lobster will be charged accordingly. Penalties can include up to 60 days in jail and fines up to $500.FWC reminds divers to use care around corals and other marine life and care with yourself and other divers. Always use a divers-down warning device.
Neighbors are blasting a developers plan to add hundreds of new townhomes, apartments and businesses along Race Track Road at St. Johns Parkway.Theyre demanding commissioners put a stop to the new development in Northern St. Johns County. Their main concern is more traffic congestion in the growing area not far from State Road 9B and the Durbin Pavilion project which is still under construction.For some neighbors, the plan to add up to 250,000 square feet of commercial and office space, plus 400 apartments and townhomes in this highlighted spot at the corner of Race Track and St. Johns Parkway is also a concern because of the impact on local schools.According to the St Augustine Record, developers claim the Publix, currently under construction, would offset some of that congestion. But residents are not convinced. Moving forward, the developer will need to re-apply with a new plan. Once thats submitted, commissioners will need to review it again.Neighbors are invited to ask questions and make sure their voices are heard Wednesday at 6 p.m. the St. Johns County Service Center on Flora Branch Boulevard.
The American Sailing Association is asking boaters to be on the lookout for any plastic they see out on the water. The campaign is called, Operation Plastic Pollution Purge.Through the campaign, the association is asking boaters to take less plastic out on the water and pick up any plastic in the water to be brought back and recycled. Brian Record frequently goes out on the water. He said he picked up several pieces of plastic over the weekend while kayaking.It was surprising to see that, explained Record. Its a beautiful creek to enjoy nature and all of a sudden its beer cans and water bottles.According to the American Sailors Association, there are roughly 18 million pounds of plastic that make their way into the ocean each year. To tackle the problem, they are encouraging boaters to pick up any trash they find in hopes of protecting the environment and marine life.Tony Jones, the owner of Windward Sailing in Fernandina Beach, said they remind boaters to pick up any plastic they find.We dont actually in our area find it all that much, said Jones. I think its because we dont have as many people but in some places, its really bad.Jones said if everyone does their part, it will go a long way.If everybody thats out, all boaters, when they see plastic pick it up, it would really help, said Jones.Some docks do have recycling bins by the water for boaters to dispose of any plastic they find.
Are implanted microchips wave of future for humans?
Imagine having a microchip implanted into your skin to help with lifes functions.Have you ever considered the idea Perhaps its not as crazy as it sounds, considering more than 4,000 people in Sweden have had microchips inserted into their hands, and more could decide to do so, according to the New York Post. So, what exact purpose does this serve Inventors said its an alternative way to carry out everyday activities such as entering office buildings -- in place of using key cards -- monitoring your health, and even making purchases in stores, instead of using cash or credit cards.Thats right: you can pay for something simply by swiping a hand.The technology was invented by a man named Jowan Osterlund, who said in the New York Post article that hes been approached by intrigued investors around the world.Sweden as a country is trending toward going cashless, with coins and notes making up just 1 of its economy.Of course, there are concerns, mainly about the privacy of someones data once the microchip is inserted.But Osterlund insists its safe and hopes it will become a global craze in the near future. Is this something you would consider doing Let us know in the poll below.

Psychological Harassment Information Association since October 20, 2003
Tell Your Friends, Awareness and Prevention, for a safer, healthier, more productive environment and society.
We do research and provide information about psychological harassment, workplace psychological harassment, criminal psychological harassment, mobbing, mobbing in modern society, bullying, psychological violence, psychological abuse, and its many forms, effects, and related issues.
People are harming themselves and others unintentionally and intentionally and the reasons are psychological.
* Please join and support this issue linked to human rights violations and homelessness. *
Workplace psychological harassment and criminal harassment or mobbing networks use homelessness as a weapon, to prevent exposure and prosecution, to make victims suffer, and to set examples, which is linked to an incentive to prevent solutions for homelessness;
By promoting awareness and prevention of this issue it creates visibility, which reduces the incentive to prevent solutions for homelessness or its use as a weapon linked to invisibility.
- Both workplace psychological harassment and criminal harassment or mobbing networks are linked to using a macromineral depletion strategy linked to serious health issues and cancer.
- Both workplace psychological harassment and criminal harassment or mobbing networks are linked to rage shooting and rampages.
This website follows the research and writings of these people:
Heinz Laymann PH.D is the founder of Mobbing and conducted research in Sweden in the 80's.
Margaret Thaler Singer PH.D conducted research on cults and wrote papers concerning psychological manipulations used to control people and control systems in the 80's.
Marie-France Hirigoyen, author of Le harcèlement moral launched a debate in France in the year 2000, which led to a law.
Workplace Violence: Rage Shootings and Rampages
The research aims to eliminate many issues linked to psychological harassment such as sexual harassment, discrimination, rage shootings and rampages, and follows the work or writings of Heinz Laymann PH.D, Margaret Thaler Singer PH.D, and Marie-France Hirigoyen.
According to Marie-France Hirigoyen the intent of many emotional abusers is to systematically "destabilize" and confuse their victims (with irrational, threatening behavior that preys on the victim's fears and self-doubts), to isolate and control them and ultimately to destroy their identity, and often emotional abuse builds over a long period of time until it becomes so unbearable that victims lash out in frustration and anger aka hitting back, only to appear unstable and aggressive themselves, which could be linked to or the cause of rage shooting and rampages.
- Often, emotional abuse builds over a long period of time until it becomes so unbearable that victims lash out in frustration and anger, only to appear unstable and aggressive themselves.
- This, according to Hirigoyen, is the intent of many abusers: to systematically "destabilize" and confuse their victims (with irrational, threatening behavior that preys on the victim's fears and self-doubts), to isolate and control them and ultimately to destroy their identity.

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
As a young girl, Grace Brisbane is attacked and dragged from her tire swing by a pack of wolves. Though she is bitten, she is saved from serious injury and death when a wolf with odd yellow eyes steps in to save her from the others.
Over the next six years Grace avidly follows "her wolf" and he returns the favor and becomes a constant presence in the woods just beyond her home, and in her life as well. Each of them honors the strange and unexplained affinity for the other over their shared winters and through the wolf's mysterious disappearances in the warm weather.
Sam Roth emerges from his wolf skin with the warming of the spring and summer months. It is only then that he is able to savor the experience of being human. When a wealthy high school student is killed by a pack of wolves, it's open season and the men of the Mercy Falls go after the wolves with guns. Shot in the ensuing chaos, Sam ends up, quite literally, at Grace's back door.
No one was more skeptical than me about reading a story where a teenage girl has basically been pining away after a wolf for the last six years of her life, nor was I sold in the beginning stage of Grace's romance with "her wolf"- Sam Roth, when we later learn his name. I was drawn in as the novel progressed and the characters were more fully defined. I loved the mythology of the wolves and the lives that they led and the challenges they faced as both humans and adults.
Sam and Grace's romance is touching as they can reach each other through the pain and isolation that the other has experienced. Living the existence that he has led has caused a painful and violent rift between Sam and his family, and Grace, though she tries to keep it all together suffers from her parents cheerful neglect and inattention.
A good amount of Shiver is told through flashbacks via Sam's wolf memory while Grace and Sam struggle to keep Sam from turning back into a wolf. I really enjoyed the stories of the time that Sam spent with his pack, and the different ways that each of them reacted to being a wolf. His relationship with Beck was particularly special and I liked that Stiefvater explored their bond and tested it as Sam discovered critical new information about his "family".
Shiver is at its heart a sweet romance but combined with a solid exploration of darker issues such as neglect , abuse, and betrayed trust it takes that next step and offers something more to the reader. It definitely has me eager to read its companion and revisit these characters in Linger when it comes out next year.

Q: Build Python Wheel which contains c library (pytidylib) I found a nice Python library which I would like to use to check html:
https://github.com/countergram/pytidylib
It wraps a library written in C with ctypes.
According to the docs of pytidylib you need to install the library via apt/rpm:

You must have both HTML Tidy and PyTidyLib installed in order to use the > functionality described here.

Source: http://countergram.github.io/pytidylib/#installing-html-tidy
I would like to have a self contained wheel.
How to build a self contained wheel which does not need the html-tidy library from apt/rpm?

A: 1) There is no magic here - you need a machine with both HTML Tidy and PyTidyLib installed to compile the package. You can temporary install them and uninstall after you finish the process.
2) Run pip install wheel
3) Run pip wheel pytidylib
4) The wheel is created in the ./wheelhouse directory

was today grilled for nearly four hours during which he denied the charges levelled against him, police said today.
Paraskar (DIG), who came alone to record his statement at 12.30 pm to Mumbai Police headquarters, was questioned by Deputy Police Commissioner (Crime) Sharada Raut and Assistant Police Commissioner Kala Gavit.
"Paraskar's version was recorded today and as the probe progresses, he will be called again if required," Joint Police Commissioner (Crime branch) Sadanand Date said.
On his way to record his statement, Paraskar told the media at the police headquarters that the allegations against him were "baseless".
According to police sources, during the questioning Paraskar admitted that the victim and he shared friendship, but denied allegations that he committed any offence.
Responding to a question, Date said, "The victim did not report any threat to her life from anybody. However, the victim is usually provided security in such cases and hence she was given protection."
The victim's supplementary statement had already been also recorded. "We have also submitted a preliminary probe report to state government and state Director General of Police on 25 July," he added.
Date parried a question when asked if the investigators would oppose Paraskar's anticipatory bail application on 31 July in court, but added, "Our views will be guided by the findings we make during the course of investigation."
57-year-old Paraskar had on Friday filed an anticipatory bail application before the Sessions court here which granted him interim protection till 31 July.
As the investigators had last week written to a magistrate to record the 25-year-old victim's statement under CrPC 164 and the magistrate had given them time in the first week of August.
"The victim's statement would be recorded under CrPC 164 in the first week of August," Date added.
The statement, recorded under CrPC 164 in front of a Metropolitan Magistrate or Judicial Magistrate, is treated as authentic and is admissible in court.


I've had similar issues that are somehow are related to the SD card. I have an installation where the WAV trigger is inside an old radiio. It has 8 audio files playing on a loop and the visitor can change which file plays by selecting a different channel. In the code the WAV trigger just controls the volume of each file, it turns the volume of the active file up and keeps others muted.
The problem is that the WAV trigger eats up SD cards. Every few weeks I need to replace it because two issues that come up. Either the WAV trigger jams and just starts glitching one track (playing a very small part of some file on a loop) or the audio of some of the files starts getting noisy (little glitching or crackling). Both of these issues get fixed by swapping out the SD card with a new one.
These issues usually also go away temporarily after rebooting the whole system, but if the issue has showed up once, it will be repepated after it has been running for a few hours. A longer-term fix is to swap the sd card. I've tried three WAV triggers and all of them start doing this after a while.
Uploading seems to be impossible with a USB3 port on at least on newer Mac laptops that only have USB3. This seems to be a common problem with USBTinyISP products. Discussion on Adafruit forum about this: https://www.adafruit.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=30755 This can be usually fixed with connecting the board through a USB2 hub.
It might be a good idea to add to the tutorial that you can set the fuses of a ATtiny85 to 8 MHz by selecting the "internal 8 MHz clock option" and then using "burn bootloader" from the Arduino IDE.

Собрание Хиршпрунга () — художественный музей в Копенгагене. Расположен в парке Østre Anlæg рядом с Государственным музеем искусств. В музее выставлена обширная коллекция датского искусства XIX и начала XX века. Особый акцент сделан на произведения датского золотого века. Также хорошо представлены работы Скагенских художников и представителей «Современного прорыва» ().

Музей был создан на основе частной коллекции табачного фабриканта и мецената Генриха Хиршпрунга и его жены Паулины, которые начали собирать произведения искусства в 1865 году, а в 1902 году передали свою коллекцию датскому государству. Собрание в настоящее время находится в здании, специально построенном в стиле классицизма в 1911 году по проекту архитектора Херманна Богё Сторка ().

Коллекция
Собрание Хиршпрунга включает более 700 произведений искусства. В нём представлены практически все главные художники датского золотого века, такие как К. В. Эккерсберг, Кристен Кёбке, Константин Хансен, Вильгельм Марстранд, Мартинус Рёрбю, Вильгельм Бендз и многие другие. В музее выставлены и работы художников конца XIX века из группы Скагенских художников (П. С. Кройер, Микаэль и Анна Анкер), произведения Теодора Филипсена, датских символистов (Л. А. Ринг) и художников с Фюна (Fynboerne).

Кроме картин, скульптур, рисунков и эскизов, в музее выставлена мебель и другие предметы интерьера, созданные художниками Золотого века Дании или принадлежавшие им. Это придаёт музею домашнюю атмосферу.

Генрих Хиршпрунг был увлечён не только готовыми картинами, но и самим процессом творчества. Поэтому в музее есть много неоконченных работ и эскизов. Это увлечение разделял и первый директор музея, Эмиль Ханновер, благодаря которому музей пополнился большой коллекцией писем П. С. Крёйера и Вильгельма Хаммерсхёя.

Галерея

История
Генрих Хиршпрунг унаследовал табачное дело от отца. Он занялся производством сигар, разбогател и женился на Паулине Якобсен. Генрих вместе с женой интересовались искусством и были близкими друзьями со многими известными художниками и писателями того времени, включая Хольгера Драхмана и П. С. Кройера. В течение сорока лет, начиная с 1866 года, Хиршпрунг собрал богатую коллекцию датского искусства с начала XVIII века. Коллекция была впервые представлена публике в 1888 году в Шарлоттенборге в рамках Выставки промышленности, сельского хозяйства и искусства стран Северной Европы, привлёкшей в Копенгаген множество иностранных посетителей. Каталог выставки включал 313 экспонатов, представлявших 60 датских художников. Около половины экспонатов составляли картины, остальные произведения включали рисунки, акварели, пастели и скульптуры.

В 1900 году Генрих и Паулина Хиршпрунг решили передать свою коллекцию в дар Дании. Они оформили договор с министерством культуры, но широкой публике стало об этом известно только в 1902 году, когда коллекция снова была выставлена в Шарлоттенборге. Тогда же историк искусств Эмиль Ханновер возглавил работу по каталогизации коллекции. Экспозиция в Шарлоттенборге также включала эскизы будущего здания музея, созданные архитектором Херманом Бойё Сторком. Хиршпрунгу не нравился господствующий в то время в музейной архитектуре Копенгагена стиль историзма, поэтому он настоял, чтобы его собрание было помешено в новое здание с более умеренным внешним видом. Он также хотел, чтобы музей находился на открытом пространстве, образовавшимся на месте разрушенных бастионов вокруг Копенгагена, где недавно было построено несколько музеев, включая Государственный музей искусств.

Требование Хиршпрунга, чтобы его коллекция была выставлена в отдельном здании, вызвало многочисленные дебаты по поводу государственной политики в области искусства, которые продолжались несколько лет и послужили причиной задержки строительства музея. За это время Генрих Хиршпрунг пополнил коллекцию рисунками интерьера кафедрального собора Виборга авторства Йоакима Сковгора и работами современников, таких как Микаэль и Анна Анкер, Вильхельм Хаммерсхёй, из собрания Альфреда Брамсена. Некоторые частные лица пообещали пожертвовать или продать принадлежавшие им произведения искусства, когда коллекция перейдёт в собственность государства.

Чтобы коллекция полностью отражала датское искусство XIX века, Генрих Хиршпрунг начал приобретать скульптуры, пользуясь советами друга семьи скульптора Людвига Браннструпа. Менее чем за год ему удалось собрать большинство из 180 скульптур, включённых в каталог 1902 года. Сейчас в коллекции представлены работы 20 датских скульпторов.

В 1907 году после долгого общественного обсуждения началось строительство по проекту Сторка. Генрих Хиршпрунг умер в 1908 году, не дожив до завершения строительства музея. Эмиль Ханновер, занимавшийся каталогизацией коллекции, был назначен ответственным за дизайн интерьера музея и куратором экспозиции. Он решил выставить картины в хронологическом порядке. Музей был открыт для публики в 1911 году. Паулина Хиршпрунг присутствовала на церемонии открытия 8 июля 1911 года. Она умерла в следующем году.

Здание
Музей расположен в простом здании в стиле классицизма, облицованном светлым мрамором, с фасадом, украшенным фронтоном и дорическими пилястрами. Внутри здание разделено на четыре большие галереи, освещаемые с помощью окон в потолке, и несколько меньших альковов с окнами в верхней части стен. Если снаружи музей создаёт впечатление «храма искусства», то внутреннее убранство c небольшими комнатами создаёт атмосферу уюта частного дома. На полу аванзала музея выложена мозаика 1910 года работы Йоакима Сковгора, изображающая стилизованные табачные кусты в память об основателе музея.

Commodity trader was entitled to injunctive relief to prevent fraudulent claim on performance bond
Legal Development 11 December 2020 11 December 2020
English courts and the Autonomy Principle in Letters of Credit and Performance Bonds
English courts have followed a consistent line over many decades in upholding the independence of bank guarantees and letters of credit – the so called "autonomy principle". Put simply, save in the event of clear fraud known to the beneficiary when making its claim, a court will not intervene to prevent a demand or claim under a letter of credit or an "on demand" bank guarantee or performance bond even where the applicant complains that the beneficiary rather than the applicant is in breach of the substantive terms of the underlying contract.
There have, however, been some signs of movement by the courts in recent years, recognizing in some court decisions that there may be a point where a beneficiary's actions in claiming under an independent bank guarantee might stray over the boundary between mere breach of contract and an act which amounts to bad faith or fraud. The main problem faced by an applicant in asking a court to intervene is that the wording of the performance bond or bank guarantee will often not require the beneficiary, in making a claim, to make any representation to the issuer of the bond about the underlying contract and any allegation of breach of contract under it.
Beneficiary statements and "honest belief"
The presentation of a beneficiary statement containing a representation of fact that a beneficiary knows to be untrue – for example "the applicant is in breach of the contract" or "the applicant has failed to pay USD [X]" is actually easy to disprove if untrue and, if disproved, the applicant might then challenge a demand under the bond on the basis that the demand was fraudulent to the knowledge of the beneficiary or that where the demand required the beneficiary to state its belief as to a set of facts the beneficiary could not reasonably have formed an honest belief as to the facts stated . There is extensive and developing case law covering the question of what a beneficiary can honestly say in a beneficiary statement believing it to be true (see for a recent example in relation to a standby letter of credit Petrosaudi Oil Services (Venezuela) Ltd v Novo Banco SA and Others [2017] EWCA Civ 32).
Local bank guarantees (often issued under the local law) may instead only require a "simple demand" rather than forcing the beneficiary into making a statement about the contract performance which is capable of being challenged in court.
The problem with autonomy – Edward Owen Engineering
In Edward Owen Engineering Ltd v Barclays Bank International Ltd [1977] 3 W.L.R. 764, the classic example of the English court approach to claims under performance bonds was set out by Lord Denning, then sitting in the Court of Appeal. Edward Owen had tendered for a project supplying large industrial greenhouses to a Libyan company. As part of the contract they had been required to establish a performance bond issued locally in Libya through Barclays Bank and its Libyan correspondent bank, Umma Bank. The counter-guarantee issued by Barclays in favour of Umma Bank which was issuing the performance bond was "payable on demand without proof or conditions". The Libyan buyer in turn was required to establish a confirmed letter of credit in favour of Edward Owen to pay for the greenhouses.
The letter of credit was issued by the Libyan issuing bank but was expressly stated to be incapable of being confirmed and as such was unacceptable to Edward Owen. The contract shipment could not take place without it and Edward Owen advised the Libyan buyers that they would not be shipping the goods under the contract. However, the coming into effect of the performance bond put in place at the request of Edward Owen was not contractually dependent on the issuance of the letter of credit – to their considerable cost.
What followed was that the Libyan buyers claimed on the local performance bond and Umma Bank in turn claimed under the counter-guarantee provided to them by Barclays Bank. Edward Owen then asked the English court to prevent Barclays Bank form honouring its counter-guarantee. The court initially granted an injunction to prevent payment by Barclays Bank on an ex parte basis but the order was discharged when the parties returned to hear the matter in person before the judge. On appeal by Edward Owen to the Court of Appeal, Lord Denning recognised the misfortune facing the British supplier but said that court had no option but to dismiss the appeal:
"All this leads to the conclusion that the performance guarantee stands on a similar footing to a letter of credit. A bank which gives a performance guarantee must honour that guarantee according to its terms. It is not concerned in the least with the relations between the supplier and the customer; nor with the question whether the supplier has performed his contracted obligation or not; nor with the question whether the supplier is in default or not. The bank must pay according to its guarantee, on demand, if so stipulated, without proof or conditions. The only exception is when there is a clear fraud of which the bank has notice."
The lessons of Edward Owen
The facts of the Edward Owen case have played out many times since. It is a hard luck story that has been told by others in international trade. Overseas buyers, which are often state enterprises which award contracts under a strict tender process, typically insist upon performance bonds being issued under their own local law. They are aware that inclusion of any requirement to "show cause" in making a demand may potentially expose them to the risk of intervention by the courts to prevent payment and will often require that their local law and jurisdiction should apply to reduce that very risk.
Exporters, in turn, have come to appreciate that they must apply for the issue of such instruments with their eyes open to the potential for an unfair call – and the limited options that may arise to prevent abuse – particularly where the local performance bond lies at the end of a string of bank counter-guarantees leaving them contractually distant from the local performance bond and any demand under it. Proving a "clear fraud" in circumstances where the beneficiary is only required to say "pay me" to trigger the payment obligation of the various banks in the chain is in practice impossible.
Position where the contract expressly prohibits demands under the guarantee in the absence of breach of contract
If the contract expressly states however that a claim cannot be made unless certain events have occurred then the position is different (see Simon Carves Ltd v. Ensus UK Ltd [2011] EWHC 657 (TCC)). However beneficiaries are increasingly unlikely to permit such clauses to be included.
The ETC injunction
In the recent case of ETC Export Trading Co SA and another) v (1) APLAS Importer ((2) Berhan Bank SC [2020] EWHC 3229 (QB) a performance guarantee was issued in Ethiopia by Berhan Bank, an Ethiopian Bank, pursuant to a sale contract for the supply of milling wheat by ETC to APLAS, for delivery to Ethiopia. The goods were scheduled to be delivered by the ETC in July and August and it was a condition precedent to ETC's delivery obligation that the buyers, APLAS, would arrange through the Government of Ethiopia for the issuance of a deferred payment letter of credit in favour of ETC by the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia.
ETC, in turn, was required to establish a performance guarantee in favour of APLAS which could be called on by APLAS in the event that the seller failed to ship the goods. ETC accomplished this, instructing BNP Paribas, who in turn counter-guaranteed Commerzbank, to arrange the issuance by Berhan Bank of a local bank guarantee in Ethiopia but subject (at the insistence of ETC) to English law and jurisdiction. The local guarantee was duly issued by Berhan Bank.
ETC obtained from APLAS, in consideration of entering into the sale contract and its other obligations, a collateral written undertaking from APLAS that "it will not invoke the ETC Guarantee, or make any demands in terms of the ETC Guarantee, against ETC, unless such demand is based on a breach of the [sale agreement]".
However, the letter of credit to be opened on behalf of the buyers was never established and the sale contract, as a result, remains incapable of performance. Despite the apparent frustration of the performance of the contract by the failure of the APLAS to establish the letter of credit, Berhan Bank advised Commerzbank that it was making a claim under Commerzbank's counter-guarantee despite APLAS' express undertaking not to make a claim against Berhan Bank under the local performance bond other than in circumstances of a breach of the sale contract by ETC.
Commerzbank in turn advised BNP Paribas of the claim. BNP Paribas advised ETC that, unless action was taken swiftly to prevent it doing so it would have no option but to pay Commerzbank under its counter-guarantee who were on the verge of paying Berhan Bank under their counter-guarantee. APLAS' attempt to claim under the performance bond, thereby triggering claims up the string of bank guarantees, appeared to be in direct breach of the written undertaking given at the time of the sale contract and, APLAS knew that their claim under the performance bond was being made them in the knowledge that the performance bond had only been issued in reliance upon their written undertaking not to make a claim in these circumstances.
ETC had to act quickly because once payment had been made through the banking chain any attempt to ask the court to intervene would likely be futile. Email correspondence with APLAS and Berhan produced a confused picture. Berhan suggested that its real intention was to seek an extension of the counter-guarantee's expiry. APLAS themselves denied any knowledge of a claim being made. This left ETC in a difficult position. ETC therefore applied to the court without notice being given to either to APLAS or Berhan Bank, on an urgent basis, to seek an injunction to prevent the defendants (which included both APLAS and Berhan Bank) from respectively making and acting upon the alleged demand to Berhan made by APLAS or making any demand on the counter-guarantee.
It is the duty of a party to English proceedings when seeking ex parte injunctive relief to address before the judge any arguments which the absent respondent/defendant might have made had it been present. The court granted the injunction and the report of the case shows how the applicant and the court negotiated the issues around the granting of injunctive relief involving an independent bank guarantee and potential legal issues arising under the contract.
The buyer and seller had contracted on the well-established terms of the Grain and Feed Trade Association (GAFTA) Contract No 49 and GAFTA's Arbitration Rules No 125. The dispute resolution clause in the standard form contract 49 required that:
"Any and all disputes arising out of or under this contract or any claim regarding the interpretation or execution of this contract shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the GAFTA Arbitration Rules, No 125, in the edition current at the date of this contract…Neither party hereto, nor any persons claiming under either of them shall bring any action or other legal proceedings against the other in respect of any such dispute, or claim until such dispute or claim shall first have been heard and determined by the arbitrator(s) or a board of appeal, as the case may be, in accordance with the Arbitration Rules and it is expressly agreed and declared that the obtaining of an award from the arbitrator(s) or board of appeal, as the case may be, shall be a condition precedent to the right of either party hereto or of any persons claiming under either of them to bring any action or other legal proceedings against the other of them in respect of any such dispute or claim."
The court's decision in ETC and lessons learned
Urgency/Ex parte basis of application
Although the written undertaking from APLAS did not contain a jurisdiction clause, the judge agreed that it was properly arguable that it was given in support of the performance guarantee which in turn specified the English court. The court recognized the urgency and was prepared to entertain the application on an ex parte basis.
Effect of "Scott v Avery" clause in GAFTA contract
The dispute resolution clause in GAFTA and other trade contracts contains a so-called "Scott v Avery" clause designed to limit the parties' access to certain forms of judicial relief in favour of settlement of their disputes through the arbitral process prescribed by the Arbitration Rules. In B v. S [2011] EWHC 691 (Comm) the court had considered the same clause in the context of a freezing injunction sought by one contract party against the other. Mr Justice Flaux, as he then was, dismissed the injunction which he said was excluded by the wording of the clause as the claim for freezing injunction was directly connected to securing a claim arising under the contract.
However in the ETC case, the judge took the view that it was properly arguable that any claim in respect of the performance guarantee does not "arise out of or under" the sale contract and that the clause could not, in any event, have been intended to contract out of the right to seek relief for what appeared to the judge to be a fraud.
Basis of granting injunctive relief
As against APLAS (in respect of whom it was not clear whether a claim had in fact been put forward under the performance bond) the judge held that on the basis of Simon Carves ETC did not have to prove fraud by APLAS but merely that a demand would be in breach of the written undertaking and it was clear that a demand against the performance bond would indeed be in breach. An injunction was granted against APLAS to enforce their written undertaking. As against Berhan Bank, there was a real risk that Berhan Bank was taking instructions from someone other than APLAS in relation to the call under the counter-guarantee and it was right therefore to restrain Berhan Bank from claiming under the counter-guarantee issued by Commerzbank or paying out the money secured by the counter-guarantee to APLAS or anyone else. An injunction was granted against Berhan on that basis.
Lesson for traders and bankers
No news has yet emerged of any challenge to the ex parte order and it will be interesting to see if the order is opposed. However, the judge's rationale for hearing the application, the court's decision and the usefulness of the contractual device of securing a written undertaking as to the beneficiary's future conduct in relation to the performance bond will however be noted by traders, bankers and practitioners.

Bolsonaro the fascist: Brazil's new president threatens to target Cuba and Venezuela
Brazil's fascist new president Jair Bolsonaro said on Tuesday that he would take all action "within the rule of law and democracy" to oppose the governments of Venezuela and Cuba.
A fervent anticommunist, praiser of the crimes committed during the 1964-1985 dictatorial military regime in Brazil and loyal ally of U.S. imperialism, Bolsonaro unleashed threats against Cuba and Venezuela during a Facebook live video, without providing further details.
It is characteristic that the U.S. government has expressed its support towards Bolsonaro, counting on the new Brazilian administration for the implementation of the imperialist plans in Latin America.
In late November, U.S. President Donald Trump's national security adviser John Bolton met Bolsonaro in his Rio de Janeiro home to help cement ties. Bolton said Bolsonaro's election was a "historic opportunity" for Brazil and the United States to work together on security, economics and other issues.
Not surprisingly, John Bolton has been accused by Venezuela's president Nicolas Maduro as the mastermind behind a plot to assassinate him and overthrow his government.
The people of Brazil, alongside the people and the working class of the other Latin American countries, must oppose and resist Bolsonaro's effort to intimidate Cuba and Venezuela. The heinous plans of the U.S. imperialists and their new puppet in Brasilia must be blocked by the mass resistance of the people's movement throughout America.

Click Yes when you are prompted to delete the partition or logical drive. The partition or logical drive is deleted.
You need to use Partition Magic to expand the 25GB partition to the full drive, deleting a partition does not attach the free space to an existing partition and ther are no tools in Windows XP to expand your other partition.
To get rid of the boot menu you need to modify the boot loader. The easiest way would be to go to Start -> Run -> type MSCONFIG and press ENTER. Then click on the BOOT.INI tab and click the Check All Boot Paths button. Hopefully it will realsise that one of the paths is incorrect and remove the entry.
Or use another partitioning tool. You can Google for some free ones.
Partition Magic 6 doesn't work with NTFS5 that Windows XP uses but if you formatted in Fat32 you might be able to still use it - not sure on that.

At the End of Everything
Famous for their Disney covers during the promotion of their music in the mainstream market throughout the late 2000s, the trio of sisters in Everlife (Amber, Sarah and Julia Ross) have matured and grown spiritually (and physically too, with their first debut album released in 2004 with all three sisters in their early teens) throughout their time as a band. Releasing hit songs throughout their musical career, it was the 2010 hit 'What's Beautiful' (both the song and music video) and their personal testimonies on RansomTV that led me to be intrigued by this trio. Going back to listen to their previous records to find quality songs in 'Find Yourself in You', 'Angels Cry', even the cover of the Tarzan song 'Strangers Like Me' and the popular mainstream hit 'Real Wild Child' (written for the movies Wild Child and The Wild) led myself to see the talent of this group and the solid grounding faith shown through each of these three women through their heartfelt songs. With Everlife now having released their final album At the End of Everything so that the sisters can part ways and travel on many other ventures that God has in store for them; the album given to fans and listeners (which was entirely funded via kickstarter) showcases a mix of pop, acoustic, worship and thought-provoking messages as we ourselves ponder how our own lives will be like personally at the end of everything. With Everlife writing songs about love, loss, hope, rejection, perseverance, relationships and the love that comes through our deepening relationship with Christ; these three sisters from Indiana Pennsylvania have given us an acoustic record full of personal reflections and heartfelt songs that give us a glimpse into their hearts and the motivation behind their songwriting and singing. A fitting last album to commemorate a musical career with many accolades and accomplishments, At the End of Everything is sure to stand out in February 2013, releasing in the same month as other comparable album titles, like Jeremy Camp's Reckless, Plumb's Need You Now and Salvador's Make Some Noise!
With a variety of themes and messages within these 10 songs, At the End of Everything appears to be the trio's strongest album to date. With their hit single 'Coming Home' releasing at the end of last year on iTunes and Amazon, we are shown a heartfelt song with just acoustic guitar, whistles and finger clicks as lead singer Julia Ross leads us on a powerful journey of longing and wanting to come home, to be in the place where all worry, stress and anxiety dissipates and we are left with the hope that home can so often bring with it. While not necessarily a 'Christian' song per se, Everlife have always sung the heartfelt, emotive and challenging, and this song is no different. 'Coming Home' encourages us to seek into our own souls and figure out where is our home. Whether it is in the place we have grown up in for our childhood, or around our family and friends, we must understand that whether we call home, it's not going to be forever, and as Christians, our outlook and anticipation for our heavenly home should lead us to appreciate our earthly situations more. Home is a place where we feel loved, accepted and at peace, and as Julia cries out that '…I just miss home…', we ourselves ought to understand the poignancy and transparency Everlife give to unveil the necessity of needing a place to belong and to call home ourselves. A fantastic song to pick as first single, 'Coming Home' leads into 'At the End of Everything', perhaps my favourite song on the album.
With track No. 10 offering us humble, thought-provoking and often unsettling questions about our own lives, Julia lets her guard down to sing one of the most personal songs on the album. The questions of '…what song will you sing at the end of everything? Would it be honest, from the deepest part? Would it rise and fall to the beat of your heart?…' are all necessary for us to contemplate. If life was a song, what would be our final number? The final chorus, the one that sums up our lives and places all our beliefs, values, hopes; dreams, successes and failures into a 4 minute track? Something to inspire and motivate generations to come- and something to remember us by long after we have left this Earth. While Julia cries out in the chorus complete with light acoustics and percussion that '…in the darkness, in the brightest moment it's You surrounding me, in the quiet, in the loudest moments I find sweet serenity…', we are called to look inside ourselves and figure out what it is we live and stand for, just like how Everlife declare that it is in Jesus that our lives are complete. Something to ponder as we listen through the rest of the album, Everlife have delivered on this track, perhaps my all-time favourite Everlife song ever! Well done Amber, Julia and Sarah for such a heartfelt description of longing and love in its truest form!
'What Made Us', 'Are We OK?' and 'Missing You' are all relationship-type songs that are certain to strike a chord with many listeners of Everlife and their previous mainstream songs. 'What Made Us' features great acoustics and a hand clap that leads Julia to describe the touring life of Everlife, and the moments that situations that have 'made' them who they are currently. Describing life on the road and about how '…as everything around us starts to change, You are my constant…', Julia's description of a love she and her sisters have to someone else (probably a family mentor that has helped them through the touring life) is something that we all should have, someone to rely on and to speak into our lives, asking the questions that we so often avoid asking to ourselves. 'Missing You' leads on from 'What Made Us' as Everlife still talks about the touring and it's toll on relationships, as we are presented with one of the most rockiest songs on the album. With an electric guitar riff leading to Julia declaring how she misses people in her life, we are reminded of the hard life musicians can often lead. Months on the road at a time can take its toll on relationships, and this melody reminds us of the appreciation we must show towards our relationships with our loved ones, understanding both the preciousness and fragility of them. 'Are We OK?' is about a broken relationship where the two parties are talking about whatever went wrong in the situations leading to the unravelling, and as Julia asserts that '…we've gone too far to let this go…', I am reminded of how Christ is always interceding on our behalf, and what may seem to be impossible for us is certainly possible for God. With acoustic and percussion driven song with heartfelt and powerful vocals from Julia is a constant reminder of how much time and effort we need to invest in our relationships with our family and our friends, so as not to wake up one day and see that the relationship is unsalvageable. Well done Everlife for discussing these themes that many artists (Christian included) try to shy away from!
From the poignant 'Timmy's Song', directed to their friend Timmy who passed away a short while ago after falling out of touch with the sisters before that; to the song 'Love in Rhythm', a dance melody complete with electronic undertones as Julia describes about a love in rhythm, a love only satisfied with Christ beside us a Everlife declare through this melody that '…You're the reason, You're the why and You bring me to life…'; Everlife's wide variety of themes and musical genres are certain to intrigue listeners as we hear the band's honesty coming out through each track. Yet it is the two middle songs 'Stop Sign' and 'Forgive' (along with 'At the End of Everything') that highlight this album and remind us what it means to make decisions in life that will influence the years and decades ahead, decisions affecting ourselves and the people around us. 'Forgive' is a country-style electric guitar plucking song about a destructive relationship between a man and woman, and the urgency of forgiveness in this certain circumstance. While the song can be ambiguous as to whether forgiveness happened in the end, we are reminded of the hard work relationships need to succeed in today's society. Divorce, while not the way God has wanted marriages to be, sometimes occur; and as Christians, our role is to fight for our relationships with Christ at the centre as we remind ourselves that forgiveness can only happen as Christ works in us to alleviate anything that hinders us from displaying the merciful act. 'Stop Sign' on the other hand is a dance-pop song, yet it is just as poignant and compelling. With synths and electronics, Julia cries out that '…I won't give up so easily, this life means way too much to me…' and right from the start, we are met with a confronting song about standing up for our beliefs, rather than just being 'lukewarm' or 'in-the-middle' as we so often are (especially as Christians). This firm song about how '…it's only done when we stop fighting, you never win if you give up trying, let's all stand up wake up the crowd, it's all about the here and now…', the acoustic guitar riffs, hand claps and powerful vocals from Julia remind us of our role in our lives to discover our passions and what we believe, instead of flowing with the current on issues we need a voice for. Something that Christ longs for us to do, whatever we champion in this life (through speaking or sometimes not even speaking) reflects our beliefs, values and attitudes, and 'Stop Sign' lets listeners literally stop in their thoughts and wonder what they truly believe in this life. One of the most humble and poetically influencing songs on At the End of Everything, Everlife's tendency to prod and ask the hard questions pays off in one of the standout albums in February 2013!
Overall: Everlife's last album At the End of Everything has everything from pop to acoustic, to heartfelt moments of delving deeper into the human condition and trying to understand the motivations for the decisions that we make. From the first single 'Coming Home' to my favourite songs 'Stop Sign' and 'At the End of Everything', fans of female fronted groups like Addison Road, BarlowGirl will certainly enjoy Everlife and what they have to offer. As Amber, Julia and Sarah evolved from their Disney covered material to singing songs of a greater maturity in a lyrical sense, Everlife have always been able to write and perform songs with a thought-provoking message. Just like how BarlowGirl's departure from music was a sad occasion, Everlife's disbandment will also evoke similar emotions with fans of the group. Nevertheless, this album full of bittersweet moments will certainly stand out this year for me personally, and while the album is probably not going to be as popular as albums from other artists this year like Jeremy Camp, Capital Kings, The Afters, Hawk Nelson and Switchfoot; these three sisters have given it their all to produce a well-rounded album to finish off a great career. Well done to the Ross sisters for giving us an album to remember for months and years to come!

Roblox partners with Ernest Cline on Ready Player Two event
Ready Player Two, the highly anticipated sequel to Ernest Cline's worldwide best-selling book Ready Player One, debuts in the U.S. and U.K. on November 24. In a partnership, Roblox is launching a themed treasure hunt with seven user-generated games based on the book inside the Roblox platform.
It's one more example of the plans to bring about the metaverse (or in the setting of Ready Player One, the Oasis), the universe of virtual worlds that are all interconnected, like in novels such as Snow Crash and Cline's book. Roblox CEO Dave Baszucki will speak at the GamesBeat Summit: Into the Metaverse event on January 27.
The collaboration should generate a lot of attention, as the science fiction book is likely to be the biggest fiction book of 2020. And it comes just after Roblox disclosed its filing for an initial public offering on the stock market that could value the user-generated game company at $8 billion.
Those players who complete the treasure hunt will be awarded virtual goods designed specifically for the Ready Player Two and Roblox event.
The event will feature a virtual Q&A with Cline and Baszucki. The Q&A will stream inside the Ready Player Two Event beginning December 1 at 10 a.m. Pacific.
The Q&A will include clues for navigating the treasure hunt. In addition to the Q&A, users can find clues by reading Ready Player Two in advance of the event's December 1 start.
The Ready Player Two and Roblox event is open to the global Roblox community of more than 150 million users. In 2018, Roblox and Warner Bros. collaborated on an event around the release of Steven Spielberg's blockbuster adaptation of Ready Player One, and over 13 million people actively engaged with the event on the Roblox platform.
Baszucki said in a statement that it's fair to say this event is going to be even bigger. The Ready Player Two Event space in Roblox is officially open for fans to hang out in anticipation of the event's start, and over a million Roblox users visited the space in the first 24 hours. Free Ready Player Two-themed merchandise is available to all those who visit the space for a limited time.
Cline said in a statement, "Roblox is the closest thing to the Oasis in real life, and this contest is the closest thing to the treasure hunt in my book."
The original title came out in 2011, and it imagined a near-future where the world endured a pandemic and was in a severe economic depression, leaving humanity to escape an inhospitable real world for the safety of a virtual one. (Yes, the pandemic part feels familiar.) The prescient novel spent more than 100 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, and Steven Spielberg made a movie based on it.
In Ready Player Two, Cline takes readers on a new adventure through his virtual universe, the Oasis.
