The voyage itself across the Atlantic Ocean took 66 days, from their departure on September 6, until Cape Cod was sighted on 9 November 1620. The first half of the voyage went fairly smoothly, the only major problem was sea-sickness.
In the early 19th century sailing ships took about six weeks to cross the Atlantic. With adverse winds or bad weather the journey could take as long as fourteen weeks. When this happened passengers would often run short of provisions.
On October 12, 1492, after 36 days of sailing westward across the Atlantic, Columbus and several crewmen set foot on an island in the present-day Bahamas, claiming it for Spain.
1491 – over 2 months. 1620 – 9.5 weeks. 1700s – six weeks.

In capacity they ranged from 600-1500 tons but the speed remained around 4-5 knots for an average of 120 miles/day.
Most transatlantic cruises travel from the East Coast of the United States to the United Kingdom – usually England. By air, this trip might take only six or seven hours, but by sea, you can expect to spend closer to six or seven days in transit, and sometimes longer.
With an average distance of approximately 3,000 miles, this equates to a range of about 100 to 140 miles per day, or an average speed over the ground of about 4 to 6 knots.
You could spend from as little as $700 or as much as $3,000 a month for two people – it all depends on what boat you have, who does your boat work, where you cruise, how you like to spend your time, and more. Let's look at the expenses you'll likely encounter when sailing around the world.
Franklin discovered early on that he didn't suffer from seasickness, which was a good thing, as the perilous transatlantic crossing usually took at least six weeks and could take as long as two or three months.

Trienni Bolxevic és la denominació que es dona per la historiografia espanyola (a partir de l'estudi de Juan Díaz del Moral, que utilitza l'expressió trienni bolxevista) al període entre 1918 i 1920 (o 1921), emmarcat en l'última etapa de la Restauració borbònica, en el que es van produir importants conflictes socials a Espanya, utilitzant-se habitualment l'expressió de forma restringida per referir-se a les revoltes, manifestacions i vagues que es van produir a la meitat sud d'Espanya, especialment al camp andalús.
Les esperances provocades per les notícies que arribaven de la revolució russa entre les masses depauperades es van deixar notar, segons el context local, en moviments urbans o rurals.

Context
Des d'almenys la crisi de 1917, l'agreujament de la situació precària dels treballadors, tant en el camp (jornalers sense terres) com a les fàbriques (proletariat industrial) era insostenible (disminució de la producció, augment de l'atur, disminució dels salaris reals davant l'augment dels preus, etc.) La resposta dels partits dinàstics (els únics amb possibilitats reals d'arribar al govern en el sistema turnista) al que s'anomenava qüestió social va incloure mesures similars a les quals als països més avançats (com Alemanya) havien iniciat el denominat estat social, però d'abast molt limitat. La inoperància de la Comissió de Reformes Socials havia donat pas als més actius però insuficients programes d'un conjunt d'institucions d'esperit regeneracionista: l'Institut de Reformes Socials (1903), l'Institut Nacional de Previsió (1908) i el Ministeri de Treball (1920). El govern del Comte de Romanones (desembre de 1918 - abril de 1919) es va caracteritzar per reaccionar al descontentament social amb mesures com l'inici del sistema públic de pensions i la jornada laboral de vuit hores (3 d'abril de 1919, no aplicada fin el 23 de setembre) La llei de descans dominical, del govern d'Antoni Maura, havia entrat en vigor el 1904.

Reorganització del moviment obrer
Es va produir un increment notable de l'afiliació sindical. Les principals reivindicacions dels treballadors se centraven en l'augment salarial i la disminució de la jornada laboral. Les ideologies que predominaven en el moviment obrer espanyol era les tendències anarquista (sindicat CNT, oposat a la participació en el sistema polític) i marxista (sindicat UGT, vinculat al partit socialista -PSOE-), amb diferent implantació territorial (predomini anarquista a Catalunya i Andalusia, predomini socialista al País Basc i Madrid). L'impacte de la revolució russa de 1917 va ser molt important. Inicialment fins i tot la revolució bolxevic o d'Octubre va gaudir de la simpatia d'ambdues tendències, que hi van enviar observadors. No va ser fins a diversos anys més tard que es va aclarir l'alineament de cada organització. La CNT va estar present en la Komintern o tercera internacional des del 10 de desembre de 1919 fins a l'informe d'Ángel Pestaña el 1922. La participació del PSOE en la refundació de la internacional socialista juntament amb els partits d'orientació socialdemòcrata (la segona internacional i mitja -Fernando de los Ríos Urruti havia desaconsellat la vinculació amb els bolxevics-) va provocar l'escissió del Partit Comunista Obrer Espanyol (1921), que es va fusionar amb el preexistent Partit Comunista Espanyol per crear el Partit Comunista d'Espanya (novembre de 1921), tots ells grups minoritaris.

Regirades camperoles al sud d'Espanya
A zones camperoles d'Andalusia i Extremadura, on les mobilitzacions obreres s'havien mantingut en un nivell baix des dels grans moviments de 1903-1904, es va produir un fort procés de politització dels jornalers, que es van afiliar massivament als sindicats (un total de 100 854 afiliats a la Confederació Regional Andalusa de la CNT al desembre de 1919, 23 900 afiliacions de treballadors agrícoles a la UGT entre octubre de 1918 i juliol de 1919), que inicialment va obtenir certes concessions (reconeixement dels sindicats i de la negociació salarial, abolició del preu fet). Entre la tardor de 1918 i l'estiu de 1919 es va aconseguir el màxim nivell de mobilitzacions, amb nombroses vagues, com la vaga general de la província de Còrdova convocada pel congrés de Castro del Río (octubre de 1918) i la segona vaga general, de març de 1919, que es va estendre per tota Andalusia. En aquest moment les mobilitzacions es van radicalitzar a través de moviments per a l'ocupació de terres amb pretensió de repartiment de les propietats (entre els lemes difosos estaven la unió fa la força i la terra per a qui la treballa), crema de collites, ocupació dels ajuntaments, etc. El temor que es va estendre entre propietaris i patrons va provocar la seva retirada a les grans ciutats, al mateix temps que s'acceptaven pujades salarials (Díaz del Moral estimava un increment nominal del 150% entre 1917 i 1921, encara que sobre dades de jornals de sega que no poden generalitzar-se). A partir de maig de 1919 les mobilitzacions de jornalers van ser reprimides amb duresa, declarant-se l'estat de guerra. Es van il·legalitzar les societats obreres i els seus dirigents foren empresonats. El moviment obrer andalús va començar una fase de reculada, i l'afiliació sindical va descendir.

Processos simultanis
En un context social burgès, però coincidint amb el moment previ a la major intensitat de l'agitació camperola, l'1 de gener de 1919 Blas Infante va redactar el Manifest Andalusista de Còrdova.<ref>s:Manifiesto Andalucista de Córdoba de 1919 a Wikisource. Paco Doblas, [http://www.pensamientocritico.org/pacdob0305.htm Blas Infante y el andalucismo histórico: pensamiento y praxis], a pensamientocritico.org</ref>

A la ciutat de Barcelona es va viure una veritable edat de plom d'extraordinària violència, amb una escalada d'atemptats de grups armats (pistolerisme'') relacionats amb patrons i obrers, i la política de dura repressió contra ells del governador Severiano Martínez Anido.

Al denominat problema militar i a les creixents dificultats de la colonització del Marroc, que van culminar en el desastre d'Annual (22 de juliol de 1921), corresponia, des del moviment obrer, una històrica oposició al militarisme (com la que havia protagonitzat la Setmana Tràgica de 1909). La crisi política que es va obrir a partir d'Annual va portar al cop d'estat del general Primo de Rivera (13 de setembre de 1923) i al consegüent període de dictadura.

Pejorative
Title: Pejorative
Subject: Bitch (insult), Black Diamonds (racial term), List of ethnic slurs, Sect, Approbative
Collection: Bullying, Connotation, Discrimination, Pejoratives
A pejorative[1] (also term of abuse, term of disparagement, or derogatory term) is a word or grammatical form of expression that expresses contempt, criticism, hostility, disregard and/or disrespect. A term can be regarded as pejorative in some social or cultural groups but not in others. Sometimes, a term may begin as pejorative and eventually be adopted in a non-pejorative sense (or vice versa) in some or all contexts.
When a term begins as pejorative and eventually is adopted in a non-pejorative sense this is called "melioration" in historical linguistics. It may also be called amelioration, reclaiming, or semantic change.[2] Some examples of melioration are "punk" or "dude".
Name slurs can also involve an insulting or disparaging innuendo,[3] rather than being a direct derogatory remark. In some cases, a person's name can be redefined with an unpleasant or insulting meaning, or applied to a group of people considered by the majority to be inferior or lower in social class, as a group label with a disparaging meaning. Also, an ethnic slur or racial slur can be used as a pejorative to imply people of those groups are inferior or deficient.

I have tried to reproduce your problem with an application with docked panel (and a black background), but everything is fine. I have no idea what causes your problem, especially because other apps on the same computer work well.
If the screencopies in other apps work well, they should also do so in this problem app. 'similar projects are fine' makes it even more mysterious. The screencopy function in PVS.AVPlayer uses the .Net CopyFromScreen method.
So there is something wrong with just that one application ... But what?
display really set to the panel?
something wrong with the panel?
is the 'graphics' of the panel in use?
'invisible' controls in front of the panel?
"Can you think of anything we might be missing here?"
I think I need some more information, because I have no idea what could be wrong here.
There must be a difference between the working applications and the program that gives problems. Try to detect this difference: different kind of form, different kind of panel, other initialization, etc .... It should, in my opinion, be possible to trace the problem, especially since the example program and others work well on the same computer.
We ran a number of tests indicating that the visible screen actually consists of more than one layer (desktop shell windows?), and that the video is probably displayed on a layer different from the one captured by any screenshot tool, including player.ScreenCopy.ToImage() or even the print screen key on the keyboard.
One of the symptoms was that when we paused the video, we could move the player's host form around on the screen, but the video stayed where it was. It did not move along with the form and the video appeared to be behind the form, visible through a "hole" in the form with the exact dimensions of the player's display panel, and clipped by it.
As strange as this might sound, this behavior is reproducible on all of our developer machines with the affected application.
We agree with your observation that there must be a difference in the affected application. We are trying to find it. But maybe our description of the symptoms rings a bell with you?
It's the layered window. Are you using another type of Form than in your other applications?
It is used in the Main method of both projects like this, and absolutely identically. And still the issue appears only for one of them.
I'm running out of ideas where I could possibly look for differences.
Tried quite a few changes. Nothing.
We've got a true mysterie here. I ran out of ideas too.
After several days of thorough testing we found a workaround for this problem. We noticed that if you play a media file in one instance of the player in the affected application, then all subsequent instances of the player do not show the error.
Our workaround is to play a media file in a hidden "dummy" player instance upon application launch, and pause it right away. This way all other players launched later behave correctly. True, this is an ugly solution, but it works for now.
Further evidence suggests that the flawed instance is playing the video on some sort of additional desktop layer. The closest thing to that known to me is the secure desktop that you get when Windows' UAC is prompting you for Admin rights. You cannot screenshot that either. This might be related somehow, because our application does indeed require Admin rights to do its job.
In any case, thanks for all your testing! We will keep monitoring this issue.
Well, that is indeed a very strange situation. I do not have an explanation for that either.
I double-checked that player.Display.DragEnabled is false (this is supposed to be the default and I'm not setting this property) and that panel exists on the form before I subscribe to the MediaMouseClick event.
The problem is that the event is not fired when I interact with panel. Also, all other mouse-related events are not firing. What am I missing?
So, I don't know why your app's Player.Events.MediaMouseClick doesn't work.
With a new application like the one you describe I can get it to work. However, there is one difference in my actual application that might be important.
The form that holds the player's display panel (let's call it form A) is not simply shown using Form.Show(), it is created as the MdiChild of a parent form B that displays A as a tab (using a tab controls kit from Infragistics).
If I show A as the MdiChild tab of B, the mouse events do not fire. If I show A using Form.Show() without any MdiParent, the mouse events fire.
Any ideas how I could solve this?
Thanks for the information. I will look into it, but it probably has to do with the controls kit preventing the mouse clicks to fire. The player's display mouse events use a global mousehook. I think there's going something wrong with the kit.
PS. You do get 'normal' mouse events for the panel, I presume?
I created a MDI application and got the same result as you did: no mouse events.
I'd like to show the player control elements (play/pause buttons, position slider, etc.) on an overlay that is hovering above the player's display. It should be invisible as long as the mouse is not moving, then appear when the mouse is moved and disappear a few seconds after the mouse has stopped moving. This is something you see in a lot of modern video players.
This is what I would like to use the mouse events for. If I remember correctly, part of this functionality is available in your example player, but I'd be happy if you pointed me in the right direction in case you have dealt with a similar case before.
MDI windows behave differently from 'normal' windows and that is what's causing the problems with the mouse events (and a problem with the overlay as well).
I think I can fix it. I am still just looking for the best solution.
Great, thank you very much! I'm anxious to learn what you will come up with.
The issues with the mdi windows and mouse events (and overlay focus) in the PVS.AVPlayer library have been fixed.
I'm still 'looking' at the (not related to 'your' event issues) overlay clipping: an overlay can be partially outside a window (visible) when the player's display is partial outside a window (not visible).
I think (but I'm not sure?) that the solved issues with mdi windows is not enough to publish a new version of the library (there have already been so many updates, people might start to think they're there just to get 'attention').
Perhaps I can send you the new library (to use and also for testing).
That's great, thank you! I agree it's best to do a private test and then include these changes in your next scheduled release. What's the best way for me to obtain the new library?
Do you like to have a compiled lib? If so, which .Net version(s)?
Got a Dropbox, Google Drive or something?
I check if there's something for filesharing or e-mail exchange here on Code Project.
Thanks, Peter. I have messaged you by private email reply.
Can't deliver mail (5 times with different named attachments) at the given address. Is the address OK or do they really detect dll files in a zipped and named .jpg file?
Edit: send it to your outlook e-mail address - seems OK.
Thank you for making this impressive project available to the community! I was wondering if it were possible to add an overload to the Player.Play(...) method that accepts a System.IO.Stream?
I have read in one of your previous answers that MCI requires a filename and does not work with a Stream. Is that still the case?
Thank you for your 'impressive' compliment!
There seems to be a bug in the MCI code (I read somewhere) that prevents MCI to play media from an IO.Stream. I have not found a solution for that yet, but because of your message I will have a look at it again.
Thanks for looking into it again! There are technical and design limitations that prevent me from providing the player with a file path on disk directly, so what I'm currently doing is to provide a virtual file based on a stream using BoxedApp SDK. If the player accepted a Stream this "workaround" would not be necessary.

YES, Welders Use ROR Lens Cleaner Too!
In the world of welding, welding helmets are the most important safety and protection equipment after welding gloves. A welding technician faces many risks that could cause eye problems, such as infrared, high intensity light and ultraviolet. Those factors could bring permanent retinal damage. That is why you as a welder need a welding helmet to protect your eyes.
Welding helmets come with a variety of forms and sizes. Please choose the most comfortable and secure one if you decide to buy. You also need to consider the weight of the helmet. Choose the lightest welding mask you can find to support your work and ease your back and neck while welding. Picking up the light welding mask should not neglect durability factor. A strong and solid welding hood will certainly be needed.
As technology grows, so it does with welding helmet. There are high-end auto darkening welding masks that will change their lens color darker within less than a second as the electric arc is flashed. Auto darkening welding masks are batteries and/or solar powered and even when the auto darkening filter is not active, they still have protection to keep your eyes from UV and infrared radiation. Generally auto darkening masks are more expensive than the regular ones. Regular masks commonly cost below $40.
Does a welding mask really give you a protection? In many cases, work-related health problems are not happened instantly. The symptoms usually take times to occur, probably within years. In the world of welding, the most common health problems are cataract and sight-hand in coordination. Choosing a properly welding protection is a must thing to do. Understand that a welding mask has a filter shade to adjust the amount of light your eyes might reach and it should be set well. If the filter is set too dark it may disturb the welder to work in detail, on the other hand if the helmet does not filter the light in a certain amount the welder may have a bigger risk of having eye damage. Most auto darkening helmets have features that will enable you to regulate or set the light filters. There is a filter shade selector chart which a welder can manually adjust to meet the application needed.
The maintenance of a welding helmet is relatively easy. You just have to clean it out of dust and dirt.The best way to clean a welding lens is by using ROR Lens Cleaner, it is very affordable and works amazingly!Some welding helmet's elements are sensitive to direct sunlight, dust and moisture so it is a lot better to keep it from them. Last but not least, remove all batteries from a helmet if it will not be used for at a long time. This is to avoid battery leaking to damage your helmet's filter. For your information, the price of the filter almost covers up a whole new welding helmet price.

Aigeira, located high above the Gulf of Corinth, is one of the most important ancient sites in the region of Achaia in the north-west Peloponnese. Otto Walter, accompanied by the writings of Pausanias, undertook the first excavations here in 1916 and 1925. Since 1972, the OeAI has continuously carried out the systematic investigation of the ancient city. The history of Aigeira can now be followed, with interruptions, from the mid-Neolithic era (6th millennium B.C.) until the Mediaeval period.

Late Bronze Age Settlement and Early Sanctuary on the Acropolis
The settlement which was founded at the end of the Mycenaean palace period around 1200 B.C., and which existed in a number of phases over a time period of more than 150 years, is particularly significant. After a serious catastrophe caused by fire, presumably in the middle of the 12th century B.C., a successor settlement was erected immediately on top of the ruins, and was surrounded by a massive fortification wall. This defensive wall, which suggests that the inhabitants of Aigeira now needed increasing protection, is an exceptional phenomenon for the late phase of the Bronze Age, and one which until now is without parallel in the Peloponnese.
As at numerous other settlement sites, Aigeira was also abandoned in the course of the 11th century B.C. Renewed usage of the site can only be recognised at the earliest in the mid-8th century B.C., when a sanctuary on the acropolis was set up. Amongst the many finds from the sanctuary, an elaborately fashioned Corinthian roof belonging to a late Archaic temple is particularly noteworthy.
The latest usage of the acropolis extends into the 12th century A.D., attested by coins and pottery finds. The renewed fortification with an enclosure wall constructed of ancient spolia probably also dates to this period.

Hellenistic Guesthouse and Coin Hoard Trove
On a terrace directly to the north below the acropolis, a building complex with substantial mosaics, dating roughly to the mid-4th century B.C., has been discovered. It probably served as a guest house for official delegations. In the course of its use up until the 1st century B.C. many conversions and extensions took place, resulting in the complex occupying a surface area of almost 1,000 m².
A coin hoard consisting of nearly 600 silver coins is a remarkable find from the guest house. This hoard was probably hidden under the flooring of the guest house in the course of the raid by the Aitolians in 219 B.C. to protect it from the invaders.
Aigeira/Achaia. The Theatre and the excavations in the public centre of the Hellenistic city (Photo: OeAW- OeAI / C. Kurtze)
A City of the Achaian League
Without doubt, the greatest heyday of Aigeira occurred during the Hellenistic period. The small city, until that time relatively modest in size, was increased by a factor of 14 during a building programme which was probably funded by financial support from the Achaian League.
The founding of numerous new public structures, as well as the construction of an aqueduct and an approximately 3,000 m. long fortification wall around the city date to this period. Many buildings erected after the mid-3rd century B.C. in the immediate vicinity of the theatre – amongst others a peripteral temple and at least five small buildings designated as naiskoi – constitute one of the most interesting building ensembles of the Hellenistic period in the Peloponnese. The theatre region remained one of the most important public centres of the ancient city until the mid-imperial Roman period. Its function changed only in the 4th and 5th centuries A.D., due to the abandonment or transformation of previously public and religious structures into workshops.
While the public buildings of Aigeira are well-studied, in particular those in the theatre region, very little is known about daily life in the almost 50 ha Hellenistic and Roman city. A cooperative study with the Greek Ministry of Culture and Sports aims to investigate this issue.

Il dissoluto punito, ossia Il Don Giovanni is the full title of the opera that is widely held to be the most perfect work of its genre. Luckily, it is known today merely as Don Giovanni, a title that far better evokes the hero in all of his seductive power, his disregard for the social order, his merry wantonness. It is this hero who fascinated Mozart, not the "dissolute punito" - the "rake punished" - who harks back to the morals and conventions of the late 18th century.
As sung by baritone Thomas Hampson, who made his international breakthrough as Don Giovanni under Harnoncourt in 1987, the title hero superbly incarnates the aging rake and emotional anarchist who's seen and done everything. Ildebrando D'Arcangelo plays his servant without exaggeration, as an astute observer. While Melanie Diener dazzles as Donna Elvira, it is Christine Schafer and Piotr Beczala who, with their powerful stage presence, give exceptionally unforgettable performances as Donna Anna and Don Ottavio.
Director Martin Kusej interprets Don Giovanni with compelling images that cast the rake as a child of today's consumer society, a man who acquires women, uses them and disposes of them after consumption. Happiness can be bought - but the specter of retribution is never far away, as in the evocative "tableau vivant" of spent and broken high-society hedonists. Under the baton of young conductor Daniel Harding, the Vienna Philharmonic weave a fresh, transparent and jaunty musical fabric that underscores every nuance of passion and despair, as well as every shading of wit and humanity that make Don Giovanni a work of unequalled artistry.


One of the most significant transformations in humankind is underway but largely going untold. Fueled by advances in technology and innovation, global poverty has been slashed in half over the last decade with predictions that it will be eradicated over the next. From makeshift cities to smart phones to water purification to the blockchain, join us as we travel the world to see firsthand how entrepreneurship is lifting people up in the developing world. This is the incredible true story of the rising billion.


The Labour leader gets behind the Every Vote Counts campaign - and puts this in writing and on film.
Every Vote Counts, our campaign to make democratic information accessible ahead of the General Election, has the support of all five of the main UK political parties - the Conservatives, Greens, Labour, Liberals and UKIP – and United Response has been in touch with the offices of each of the party leaders to ask for a brief message of support.
We're asking each leader whether more people with learning disabilities should take part in the democratic process, as well as what their party is doing to help disabled people.
Mr Miliband took time on the campaign trail to write a letter of support to United Response's political correspondent, David Allkins.
The Labour Leader said: "I'm a big supporter of the Every Vote Counts campaign by United Response." He went on to thank David Allkins personally for raising awareness about people with learning disabilities taking part in the democratic process.
Ed Miliband also sent a video message about the Labour Party's disability manifesto, where he outlined the party's policies in this area.
Mr Miliband said: "I want us, in opposition and into government, to hear the voices of disabled people in what we do and the decisions we make.

Summary of Facts and Submissions
I. European patent application No. 83 111 411.1 (priority document US-452 549 dated 23 December 1982) (publication number 0 114 229) was refused by decision of the Examining Division.
II. The reason given for the refusal was that the subject- matter of Claim 1 was obvious to the skilled person having regard to the disclosure in the following documents:
(D1) Proceedings of the International Electron Devices Meeting, San Francisco, US, 13 to 15 December 1982, pages 395 to 398 (printed in 1982; the exact day of printing is not given but the Appellant did not object to consider this document as a prior art document); and
(D2) US-A-3 822 928.
The Examining Division held in particular that all the features of the pre-characterising portion of Claim 1 were disclosed in D1; the person skilled in the art knew that spin-coating is not the only possibility of depositing organosilicon polymer layers on a substrate, from D2 he knew in particular that such layers can be deposited by plasma polymerising, and that this deposition is done for forming smooth, pinhole-free and crosslinked films; D2 does not belong to a remote technical field since plasma polymerisation is a generally known deposition technique, D2 is related to thin film fabrication, and the Applicant himself is considering the field of thin film light waveguides in the description of the application; the subject-matter of Claim 1 was therefore merely an obvious application of the teaching of D2 in the method of D1 with an appropriate choice of the temperature range.
III. The Appellant lodged an appeal against the decision.
IV. After two communications from the Board, the Appellant filed a Claim 1 which reads as follows:
"1. Method of forming a lift-off mask with improved oxygen barrier layer of an organosilicon polymer comprising the steps of:
A) blanket depositing a first layer (6) of a solvent soluble organic polymer on substrate (1);
B) depositing on said first layer a second oxygen barrier layer (7);
C) overcoating said second layer (7) with a blanket layer (8) of a radiation sensitive resist and patterning said resist layer using standard lithographic techniques;
D) forming conformal openings (10A, 10B) in said barrier layer (7) by reactive ion etching in a fluorine containing ambient, using the patterned resist (9A, 9B) as a mask;
E) reactive ion etching in an oxygen containing ambient the exposed portions of said first layer (6) to form openings (11A, 11B) therein and extending therethrough to expose corresponding portions of said substrate
characterized in that
said second oxygen barrier layer (7) of an organosilicon polymer is applied by plasma polymerization on said first layer (6) from an ambient containing monomers selected from the group consisting of organosilicones, including organosilanes, organosilazanes, organosiloxanes, and mixtures thereof; and
heat treating said layer (7) for 10 to 30 minutes at temperatures in the range of 250 to 400°C."
Claims 2 to 9 are dependent on Claim 1.
V. In the statement of grounds filed in support of the appeal, the Appellant argued in substance as follows: The oxygen RIE barrier layers achieved by plasma polymerisation of organosilicon monomers according to the present application are advantageous as compared with the known silicon oxide and silicon nitride barrier films as well as the solution coated or cast polydimethylsiloxane barrier films disclosed in D1. The oxygen barrier layers achieved according to the dry process of Claim 1 are pinhole-free and eliminate the problems of spin coated polyorganosilicon layers which, on the soluble underlayers necessary for lift-off masks, generally result in cracking or solvent induced crazing due to interfacial mixing and polymer polymer incompatibility.
D2 is a publication in the field of thin film light guides which is remote from the field of oxygen barrier layers for the production of lift-off masks used in integrated circuit technology. A person skilled in the field of the present invention would not have followed developments in such a remote technical field as that of D2. The fact that prior art relating to thin film light wave guides is mentioned in the description of the application is no proof for an objectively existing relationship between the two fields (cf. decision T 28/87, OJ 1989, 383). The teaching of the present invention therefore involves an inventive step.
VI. The Appellant requested that the decision of the Examining Division be set aside and a patent be granted for the application at issue.
Reasons for the Decision
1. The appeal is admissible.
2. The present Claim 1 is based on the original Claim 1, in which features have been rearranged without changing their sense. The fact that the last feature now mentions "temperatures" instead of "a temperature" (original feature C), does not change the sense since it was evident from the beginning that an elevated temperature could not be reached without passing through intermediate temperatures, and that "at a temperature in the range of ..." was not meant in the sense of "only one constant temperature".
Apart from the correction of a few obvious errors, Claims 2 to 9 correspond to original Claims 2 to 9. The description has, in substance, only been amended by a further indication of relevant prior art.
The Board is therefore satisfied that the present application documents do not contain subject-matter extending beyond the content of the application as filed (Article 123(2) EPC).
3. Novelty
3.1. D1 (considered prior art document - see point II of the present decision) discloses a method for forming a mask with an organosilicon oxygen barrier layer, comprising the steps A) to E) defined in Claim 1 (cf. in particular "Abstract"; page 396, first paragraph; and Figure 3). It is self-evident and has not been contested by the Appellant that this known tri-level mask to be formed is a lift-off mask and that the organosilicon is a polymer.
The subject-matter of Claim 1 differs from the known method by the fact that the organosilicon layer is applied by plasma polymerisation from an ambient containing monomers selected from the group consisting of organosilicones, including organosilanes, organosilazanes, organosiloxanes and mixtures thereof (instead of spin- coating according to D1), and by the fact that the layer is heat treated for 10 to 30 minutes at temperatures in the range of 250 to 400°C (instead of 200°C for 30 minutes).
3.2. IBM Technical Disclosure Bulletin, Vol. 24 (April 1982), pages 5538 and 5539 (D4) also discloses a method of forming a tri-level structure, evidently serving as a lift-off mask, having all the steps A) to E) of the present Claim 1.
However, the oxygen barrier layer is not made of plasma polymerised organosilicon polymer, but consists of plasma deposited silicon oxide. Heat treatment is not mentioned.
3.3. D2 relates to applying on a substrate a layer of an organosilicon polymer by plasma polymerisation from an ambient containing organosilanes, organosiloxanes or mixtures thereof (cf. in particular column 2, lines 47 to 50; column 4, line 48 to column 5, line 12; column 6, lines 3 to 9; and Claims 1, 3 and 4).
The method according to Claim 1 differs from this known method by the fact that a lift-off mask is formed, in which mask the organosilicon polymer serves as an oxygen barrier layer, and that consequently the steps A) to E) are provided. Whereas D2 mentions a heat treatment of 140°C for up to 180 minutes (column 6, lines 28 to 34), the method of Claim 1 comprises a heat treating step of 250 to 400°C for 10 to 30 minutes.
3.4. The teaching of US-A-3 310 424 (D3) is more remote from the subject-matter of Claim 1.
3.5. The method according to Claim 1 is therefore novel in the sense of Article 54 EPC.
4. Inventive step
4.1. D1 is the document closest to the present subject-matter since it also relates to the production of tri-level mask structures comprising an organosilicon polymer as an oxygen RIE barrier layer.
Starting from this prior art, the problem underlying the claimed method is to be seen in improving uniformity, thickness control and shelf life of the oxygen barrier layer (cf. page 4, line 25 to page 5, line 4 of the application in suit). Moreover, a low defect (pinhole) density is desired (page 1, lines 9 and 10, and page 4, lines 21 to 24 of the application in suit).
4.2. According to Claim 1, this problem is solved by using plasma polymerisation from an ambient containing organosilicon monomers for applying the organosilicon barrier layer, assisted by a particular subsequent heat treatment. The Board is convinced that the structure of plasma polymerised polyorganosilicon is different from spin-coated polyorganosilicon, that by the claimed method the properties of better uniformity, thickness control, shelf life and low defect rate are achieved, and that moreover, as the Appellant has pointed out, cracking and crazing of the layers (caused by the application of spin- coating solution on a solvent soluble lift-off mask base layer) is avoided.
4.3. This method of forming organosilicon polymer layers by plasma polymerisation is already known per se (see document D2). However, the layers produced according to D2 are light guide films having a thickness of about 3 µm (column 6, line 14) whereas layers suitable for acting as oxygen RIE barriers in lift-off masks typically have a thickness of 0.1 to 0.3 µm (cf. D1, page 396, first paragraph, line 8, and present application, page 19, lines 9 and 23). A person skilled in the art would (and could) not deduce from D2 that the film material advantageous for guiding light would form an efficient and advantageous oxygen barrier layer in a lift-off mask structure as described in D1: He could not deduce that cracking would be avoided since a light guiding layer does not require a solvent soluble base layer. From the mention of a smooth and pinhole-free film (column 1, line 47 of D2), he could not deduce that the plasma polymerized film, when adapted to form part of the lift-off mask according to D1, would be "uniform" and free of "defects" in the sense of the present application since the meaning of the term "smooth" (or "uniform") depends very much on the absolute thickness of the layer and on the intended use; i.e., a material which is "pinhole-free" in the sense that it does not scatter light to a considerable degree in a 3 µm thick film, might still have defects in the sense that, as a 0.3 µm thick layer, it does not shield the base layer homogeneously enough from the active particles of the oxygen RIE etching process. The effects achieved by the subject-matter of the present Claim 1 must therefore be regarded as surprising.
4.4. Since the above-mentioned combination of features from D2 with features from D1 leads to an unexpected effect, this combination cannot be considered obvious.
Moreover, even a combination of the teachings of D1 and D2 would not have led directly to the subject-matter of Claim 1 since the parameters of the heat treatment according to Claim 1 are suggested neither in D1 nor in D2.
4.5. Under these circumstances it need not be investigated whether, as the Appellant has claimed, the technical field of D2 is too remote from the technical field of D1 for the skilled person in the one field to follow the developments in the other field. The Board wishes, however, to point out that the fact that prior art corresponding to D2 is cited in the description of the present application, provides no indication in either direction regarding the question of remoteness of said prior art since such judgment has to be performed objectively and not from the subjective point of view of the Applicant formulating the application documents (corresponding to decision T 28/87, OJ EPO 1989, 383, cited by the Appellant).
4.6. The Board therefore comes to the conclusion that the subject-matter of Claim 1 involves an inventive step in the sense of Article 56 EPC and that this claim is therefore allowable under Article 52(1) EPC.
5. The dependent claims are also allowable under Article 52(1) EPC by virtue of their dependence on Claim 1.
6. In Claims 4, 8 and 9, the reference sign (B) (originally relating to feature B. of Claim 1) is no longer correct. On page 4, line 12, a typing error has to be corrected.
For these reasons, it is decided that:
1. The decision under appeal is set aside.
2. The case is remitted to the first instance with the order to grant a patent on the basis of the following documents:
pages 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13, 16, 17, 20 as originally filed;
pages 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 15, 18, 19, filed on 6 April 1992, with the word "materials" corrected at line 12 of page 4;
pages 3a, 3b, 14, filed on 19 September 1992;
1 filed on 19 September 1992;
2 to 9 filed on 6 April 1992, with the reference sign "(B)" deleted in Claims 4, 8 and 9;
Figures 1A to 2B (sheets 1/3 to 3/3) as originally filed.

Area high school coaches tackle possibility of sports opening
Jul 8, 2020 | Featured | 0 comments
BY YANEEK SMITH
BEACON CONTRIBUTOR
Collegiate and professional sports have been turned upside down because of the coronavirus. And high school sports saw the spring sports season cancelled in addition to winter sports not being able to finish its season.
The question begs, is there hope for fall sports?
Three local athletic directors provided their thoughts on the matter and gauge what could be in store for fall sports.
Question: What are some concerns you have about the fall sports season?
Answer: Dan Hoover (Oak Harbor): At this point, trying to keep our kids safe, as well as the fans (is the primary goal). We're trying to keep them as safe as possible while still having a semblance of regular sports. We've been working on developing some plans for the school, (with) plans for 50% capacity for the stadium or the gym, or however that might look. We're trying to make that work.
The concern is to prevent any outbreak at the same time, and there's a concern if someone from a school ends up testing positive, will that shut down the team for weeks? And then we may not have games.
Rick Dominick (Port Clinton): I think the biggest concern I have for all of our sports for 2020-21 are all of the "unknowns." Will we start on time? Will we be interrupted? Will we be able to have fans (attend the events)? We are less than one month away from the start of fall sports and while I am optimistic about starting on time, the upward trend of those testing positive for Covid-19 is very concerning.
Keith Mora (Danbury): Currently, my biggest concern is, are we training to start on time? Or be delayed to September? Or are we training for an inevitable closing? The governor's directives that came out made some coaches and athletic directors feel a little uneasy because it was a pretty restrictive plan.
Q: What has the OHSAA been saying about the measures the schools ought to be taking to protect the players and coaches?
A: Hoover: (OHSAA executive director) Jerry Snodgrass has been really good and is working really hard at keeping us as up-to-date as possible. (The governor) had a three-phase plan to begin with when we were able to start (opening up again). Every two weeks, you could open things up a little more. We started ours on June 1 and worked our way in each of two weeks. We've been getting some direction, we're still looking for more. (Gov. Mike DeWine) said he wants kids in school if at all possible, hopefully that will open us up for sports as well."
Dominick: The OHSAA provided all schools with a recommended phased program to follow for all sports and have instructed us to follow all Responsible Restart Ohio. The OHSAA has essentially told us to proceed as if we will be starting on time on Aug. 1 for fall sports official practices and also to plan on games, matches and meets. The OHSAA will be providing us with direction on managing fan attendance as we get closer to the start of competition.
Mora: The governor's office decides something and lets us know. We're usually hearing things a day or two before it becomes public. When (the governor's office) opened up contact sports (on June 22), they told us we could do intrasquad competing.
Q: Will we have a fall sports season this year?
A: Mora: I think so, unless some kind of major shift takes place at the pro or collegiate level. People see the value in the kids doing things to make them feel normal and just having that team camaraderie. I think it's important for kids. I think there's a lot of development in a child with athletics. In terms of the sport happening, I think we're going to start on time.
This is just so crazy for all of us. It's so reactionary right now. It's just us waiting to hear information. It's just waiting to find out the next bit of information.
Hoover: I was real confident up till about two weeks ago before we hit the spike (in the virus). We're opening up school buildings, so we should be able to get sports back to 100%. I'm hopeful that they're going to go ahead and allow sports as well. Opening up things like Cedar Point, that makes me a little more hopeful that we'll have sports.
We've been on the cautious side, not letting a lot of people in the building. Now we've let people in the athletic part (of the building), but not the school part. Our custodians do a great job of cleaning the facilities. It's gone pretty well. I'm confident that we're keeping our kids as safe as possible.
Dominick: I remain optimistic that we will have fall sports and we will start on time based on signals we are getting from the OHSAA and the governor. That said, as I mentioned at the outset, the trend of positive Covid-19 tests remains very disconcerting."
In a surprise move on Monday, OHSSA Executive Director Jerry Snodgrass was replaced after two years by Bob Goldring. The OHSSA board of directors said they felt it was necessary to go in a different leadership direction, reported The Toledo Blade.

How Should Government Regulate AI? We Asked a Robot
Artificial intelligence's potential in the public sector has grown exponentially, as have questions around appropriate guardrails. We interviewed the ChatGPT chatbot from OpenAI to see what it had to say.
January/February 2023 •
Noelle Knell
I started working for e.Republic (Government Technology's parent company) as a writer almost 12 years ago. I was doing a lot of interviews for case study-style stories on technology deployments. I would later transcribe those interviews word for word to maximize my understanding and faithfully reproduce any direct quotes I ended up using. At the time, AI tools to automate the transcription process fell short — comically short, actually.
What a difference a dozen years makes.
Artificial intelligence, in the ensuing years, has advanced exponentially in its capabilities and ease of use. At GT, we report on its growing adoption by public-sector agencies to help identify patterns and automate routine processes, making it possible for staff to reserve more of their time for complex problems. And AI only continues to get smarter, recently demonstrating new capabilities in the creative arts, for example, producing poetry, music and photography that is beginning to rival what humans can do.
In many ways, the pandemic moved chatbots into the "must have" category for government — a force multiplier for agencies that saw dramatic increases in customer inquiries. But chatbots rely on good content. The nature of user questions can evolve as quickly as COVID-19 variants, requiring constant upkeep to remain effective. It's no longer enough to have a chatbot. You have to devote time and resources to making sure it is indeed saving staff time and meeting constituent needs.
Enter the ChatGPT tool from Open AI, an AI-driven chatbot prototype that uses sophisticated natural language processing technology with impressive results. Released in late 2022, it's proof that these tools are getting smarter, earning praise like this from Kevin Roose of the New York Times: "ChatGPT is, quite simply, the best artificial intelligence chatbot ever released to the general public."
Dustin Haisler is the chief innovation officer for e.Republic. He follows the evolution of AI and its impact on government and wanted to test ChatGPT's capabilities by asking it questions about how these technologies should be regulated given their vast potential, both positive and negative.
"I thought, how better to look at regulating AI than by asking AI itself?" Haisler said.
What follows is Haisler's revealing "interview" with ChatGPT.
Dustin Haisler: What are the biggest challenges state and local agencies are facing today?
ChatGPT: There are many challenges that state and local agencies are facing today, including budget constraints, a lack of resources and the need to adapt to changing circumstances. In addition, state and local agencies are often required to provide a wide range of services, which can be difficult to manage and coordinate effectively. Additionally, state and local agencies may face challenges related to public perception and trust, as well as the need to ensure that their services are delivered in a fair and equitable manner.
DH: What are some of the most important emerging technologies that government leaders should be paying attention to?
There are many emerging technologies that government leaders should be paying attention to, including artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, the Internet of things (IoT) and virtual reality (VR). AI and machine learning technologies, for example, can be used to automate many tasks and processes, improving efficiency and accuracy. Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize the way that governments handle data and transactions, providing a secure and transparent way to manage information. The IoT can be used to connect devices and systems, allowing for real-time data collection and analysis. And VR technologies can be used to improve training and simulation, as well as to create immersive experiences for the public. All of these technologies have the potential to greatly impact the way that government operates, and it is important for leaders to be aware of their developments and potential applications.
DH: What are some of the most impactful AI use-cases for state and local government?
ChatGPT: There are many potential use-cases for AI in state and local government, including:
Predictive analytics: AI can be used to analyze data and make predictions about future trends, allowing governments to better anticipate and plan for the needs of their constituents.
Decision-making: AI can be used to support decision-making by providing insights and recommendations based on data analysis.
Process automation: AI can be used to automate many of the tasks and processes involved in service delivery, improving efficiency and accuracy.
Public safety: AI can be used to support law enforcement and emergency response efforts, including by analyzing data to identify patterns and trends, and by providing real-time situational awareness.
Public engagement: AI can be used to improve communication and engagement with the public, for example by providing personalized information and services, or by enabling citizens to access information and services through virtual assistants.
Overall, the use of AI in state and local government has the potential to greatly improve the delivery of services, support decision-making, and enhance the public's trust and engagement with government.
DH: How should state and local leaders look at regulating AI systems like you?
ChatGPT: State and local leaders should approach the regulation of AI systems, such as myself, in a thoughtful and measured way. It is important to recognize the potential benefits that AI can bring in terms of improving efficiency, accuracy and decision-making, as well as the potential risks and challenges that it may pose. As such, leaders should consider implementing regulations that balance the need to promote the use of AI with the need to protect the public and ensure that AI systems are used responsibly. This could include measures such as establishing clear standards and guidelines for the use of AI, providing oversight and accountability, and ensuring that there are adequate safeguards in place to prevent misuse or abuse of AI systems. Additionally, leaders should consider engaging with experts and stakeholders to ensure that any regulations are well-informed and effective.
DH: How can state and local leaders mitigate some of the common AI concerns?
ChatGPT: State and local leaders can take a number of steps to mitigate some of the common concerns surrounding AI, including:
Establishing clear standards and guidelines for the use of AI: Leaders can develop regulations and policies that outline how AI should be used, including what it can be used for, how it should be implemented, and what safeguards should be in place to prevent misuse or abuse.
Providing oversight and accountability: Leaders can establish mechanisms to ensure that AI systems are used in a responsible and transparent manner. This could include creating independent committees or agencies to monitor the use of AI, or requiring regular reporting and audits to ensure compliance with standards and regulations.
Engaging with experts and stakeholders: Leaders should seek input from experts and stakeholders, such as ethicists, researchers and members of the public, to ensure that any regulations and policies are well-informed and effective.
Investing in research and development: State and local leaders can support efforts to advance the field of AI, including by investing in research and development and encouraging collaboration between academia, industry and government. This can help to ensure that AI is developed in a way that is safe, ethical and beneficial for society.
Providing education and training: Leaders can support initiatives to educate the public about AI, including its potential benefits and risks, as well as how to use it responsibly. This can help to promote understanding and trust in AI, and ensure that individuals are prepared to work with and benefit from this technology.

Davis Polk Discusses What's Missing from Bipartisan Bills to Regulate Crypto
By Joseph A. Hall, Dan Gibbons, Gabriel D. Rosenberg and Zachary J. Zweihorn August 15, 2022 by Joseph A. Hall, Dan Gibbons, Gabriel D. Rosenberg and Zachary J. Zweihorn
In the last few weeks, two bills with the potential to bring needed regulatory certainty to the U.S. digital asset industry were introduced in the Senate with solid bipartisan backing.
In June, Senators Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) unveiled the Lummis-Gillibrand Responsible Financial Innovation Act, and in August, Senators Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and John Boozman (R-AR) announced they would introduce the Digital Commodities Consumer Protection Act of 2022, with support from Senators John Thune (R-SD) and Cory Booker (D-NJ).
Each bill would bring much needed clarity to the regulatory landscape in part by strengthening the role … Read more


Antigua Guatemala is known for its Spanish colonial architecture. Antigua was founded in the early 16th century.
It served as the capital for the Spanish colonial government in Central America. After several earthquakes in the 18th century, the seat of government was moved to a safer place. The name Antigua dates from this period and refers to the Old one.
In its years as capital Antigua had a population of about 80.000 people. The catholic church, including a large number of sects, was very powerful and wealthy. This resulted in the counstruction of numerous churches and monasteries, one even more beautiful than the other.
In my opinion, Antigua is the place-to-be in Guatemala. Cobbled streets, old churches (don not miss the yellow monster!) and a lot of remains from colonial times.
Guatemala on the whole is one of my favorite countries in Central America, and Antigua specifically just oozes charm. This entire 16th century colonial city is the UNESCO site, and it means that no matter where you wander, there are interesting buildings and facets of Guatemalan culture to uncover.
The city has done well preserving the older buildings in recent years. So would say to the point that it's been Disney-ified, but I don't think that's a fair assessment. Yes, it's touristy and the buildings are painted a rainbow array of hues straight from a box of Crayola crayons, but it's also just lovely. Keeping things nice doesn't mean inauthentic, and for that reason I enjoyed how charming it felt to wander the low-slung town and cobbled streets.
A highlight of the town is that there are a good number of things to do nearby, including volcanoes (which you can see from town), and numerous historic churches. I had the pleasure of visiting during Holy Week, Semana Santa, and the Easter celebrations in Antigua were unparalleled anywhere else (even in Spain, I reckon). The city is known for its elaborate carpets that last for just a night before the Semana Santa processions destroy them. I loved seeing the town come alive with locals for the holiday, and the deep religion here is also a part of what enlisted Antigua on the UNESCO list, so at no other point in the year can you so palpably feel the long religious history than during the elaborate Semana Santa celebrations.
It's a photogenic city, so keep your camera handy as you explore, and you should surely give yourself a few days to properly enjoy Antigua's charms.
Went to Antigua in Nov. 2010. Wonderful small town, cobblestone streets, marketplace, old church, and views of active volcanoes. Don't miss the jade museum--fascinating history of how they rediscovered jade mines after thousands of years.
My wife and I spent 10 days in Guatemala in March 2007, including 6 days in Antigua. We'd both go back today if we could. It is without a doubt our favorite place to go. We felt safe walking around town almost any time of day and even into the evening. The weather seems to always be just perfect. When you go, be sure to eat at least one meal at El Mediterraneo - just a block off the square. Plan on taking tons of pictures. Between Antigua, Lake Atitlan, and Tikal we took over 700 photos. We're planning another trip for next spring and have even talked about retiring their someday - something I would have never imagined 2 years ago.
I was in Antigua in January, 2005 for a wedding. I must say that I considered buying a house and staying. Absolutely beautiful. The people are very warm and the coffee is great. I walked all over the town night and day and I can't wait to get back and sit in the courtyard in the center of town and just be. Perhaps I'll retire there, and die there. It's funny, because I'm Plains Indian, and I really dug the whole Mayan thing. I appreciate their resistance. They've been doing it longer than we Plains People. I think the Mission Valley in Montana is the most beautiful place on Earth, but Antigua is definitly a tie, definitely a very attractive place to be despite the tourists and the ruling elite.
Past reviewers have mentioned the language schools in Antigua. I studied for 2 weeks at Proyecto Linguistico Francisco Marroquin, which I highly recommend. Having only had an introductory course in Spanish in the 8th grade, I was a bit intimidated my first day of classes but by the end of my stay, I was giving people directions in the city! (Okay, it also helped that I was fluent in Tagalog and that many people would mistake me for a local). I also stayed with a host family who were so kind and hospitable. I still keep in touch with them today.
Places in Antigua to explore include La Merced church ("the yellow monster," as someone called it) and Casa Popenoe.
second trip to Antigua and the first for my wife and daughter and I knew they would love it. It is a great place to visit, lots of culture, excellent food and beautiful vistas.
quite as developed....I would recommend it too.
Antigua Guatemala is the antidote to Guatemala City. Unless you really need to, don't even think of staying in the capital! The drive to/from the airport is hardly any longer from Antigua than from the capital and taxis/buses ply the route if you don't have your own transport. If you want to visit the capital it is 45 minutes away. Antigua has become a major centre for Spanish Language Schools and receives a lot of tourists, mainly from the US but on the whole is not overwhelmed by them. Its location, overlooked by a volcano, is superb and its relatively small size means that it is easily accessible on foot. Its climate is pleasant, its hotels and restaurants cater for every taste and budget.
The town doesn't contain any buildings of "world class", but its inscription as a WHS reflects the totality of its colonial heritage and the atmosphere it generates - the nearest comparison on the American continent I can identify would be Ouro Preto in Brazil.
Antigua was a fascinating city full of some of the happiest and friendliest people I have ever met. I went down for 2 weeks for a missions trip and recommend visiting Antigua to anyone who visits Guatemala.
Antigua is a truly beautiful city which is nestled in the mountains and volcanoes of a beautiful country. I have visited Antigua twice during Semana Santa (Holy week) during the last year and a half and it was very enlightening to observe the cultures of a foreign world. During my trips to Guatemala I ventured to San Andres, Sajcabaja to stay at the Home of Life and Nutrition Orphanage which is approximately 6 hours north of Antigua. I and a team of 20 other individuals spent the week ministering to the surrounding Aldeas and caring for the orphaned children. My experiences here were life changing and I am looking forward to returning in the near future. Guatemala and its people are a must see.
This is one of the most beautiful cities in Central America. I would recommend it to anyone going to Guatemala.
I was in Antigua back in july 2002 on a missions trip. The people there were very friendly and the food was absolutely great. I would love to go back there again... there are so many people in need.

One Civilian Killed Every Three Hours in Yemen
Every three hours a civilian is killed in Yemen, Oxfam said Friday, calling on the United States, Britain and European states to suspend weapons sales to Saudi Arabia.
"One civilian has been killed every three hours in fighting in Yemen since the beginning of August, with many more people succumbing to disease and hunger," Oxfam said in a statement.
Oxfam said 575 civilians were killed between August 1 and October 15, of which 136 children, citing data from the Civilian Impact Monitoring Project.
"Oxfam is calling on the UK, US and other governments to suspend arms sales to the Saudis because of their disregard for civilian lives in the war in Yemen," the aid groups statement read. Oxfam's head of advocacy called British policy towards Yemen "irresponsible and incoherent."
Saudi Arabia has pushed the impoverished country to the brink of famine. With the help of the US, UK and other European countries. France and the US have declined to suspend arms deals with the Saudi Regime.
The UN categorizes Yemen as the world's worst humanitarian crisis, warning Tuesday that 14 million people now face a serious threat of famine. Nearly 10,000 people have been killed in Yemen since 2015 by UN estimates, but rights groups say the number could be five times as high.

TOWN are hoping the craze for wristbands can help them - and a local charity.
The soccer club have brought out Huddersfield Town bands in their own blue and white colours.
And they hope that fans will snap them up to help raise cash for the West Yorkshire Forget Me Not Trust.
Town manager Peter Jackson is a staunch supporter of the Trust, which is campaigning for a children's hospice to serve Huddersfield and Halifax.
Plans have gone in for a hospice on land at Lindley Moor.
Now the club hope the £1.50 bands will help boost the charity's funds, with 50p from every sale going into their coffers.
Club spokesman Michele Adamson said: "Wristbands are the big craze of the moment and because Peter is a big supporter of the charity, we thought it would be great to help them.
"Fans have already been buying them and we hope hundreds more will follow. Some of the players have certainly got them now."
The bands are available at the Stadium Superstore and the Sporting Pride shop in Cloth Hall Street, Huddersfield.
