About as simple as it gets! This is is a recipe from an Amish woman in Michigan. Cream of mushroom soup is a standby in many Amish kitchens.
Lay butterflied pork chops in a baking dish.
Mix remaining ingredients together and pour over top.
Bake 1 hour at 375 degrees.
Commenting on Friday: Baling, All of The/A Sudden, Amish Funerals, and More!
I fixed this recipe for dinner tonight. I wondered about the addition of ketchup to a baked pork chop. Served with fresh green and yellow beans and corn on the cob, it was a tasty meal. I think this recipe is more appealing to me as a summer recipe, as I prefer a savory taste during the winter (in MI). Also, in the future, I would bake it longer and at a lower temp.

Tony Carreira, nome artístico de António Manuel Mateus Antunes (Armadouro, Cabril, Pampilhosa da Serra, 30 de dezembro de 1963), é um cantor português.

Carreira
O nome artístico Tony Carreira foi escolhido em 1988, numa sessão de gravação em estúdio do seu primeiro disco, pelo seu produtor, o francês Patrick Oliver. Nesse ano tinha participado no Prémio Nacional de Música, na Figueira da Foz, com a canção "Uma Noite A teu Lado", onde foi uma das oito canções selecionadas, com vista a escolher uma para o Festival RTP da Canção desse ano. Foi editado pela editora Transmédia o single com as canções "Uma Noite A teu Lado". Grava novo single com as faixas "Uma Flor Vai Ficar" e "Aprender A Viver não custa. O que custa é saber viver" em 1989.

Assinou contrato discográfico, em 1990, com a Discossete, por três anos. O primeiro disco para essa editora foi gravado em 1991, com o título É Verão Portugal. Uma das canções do disco, dedicada ao seu primeiro filho, chamava-se "Meu Herói Pequeno". O tema passou muitas vezes na rádio, atraindo a atenção do apresentador Carlos Ribeiro e tornando-se um grande sucesso.

Gravou novo disco em 1992, com o nome Canta Canta Portugal, sem assinalável sucesso, o que conduziu ao fim do contrato com a editora.

Celebrou contrato com a editora Espacial em 1993. Gravou o disco Português de Alma e Coração. Umas das canções do álbum era "A Minha Guitarra", tendo obtido um grande êxito, que permitiria a este trabalho chegar a disco de ouro. Nesse mesmo ano, conheceu Dino Meira. A este popular cantor dedicou a canção "Adeus Amigo", editada no ano seguinte, após o seu desaparecimento.

A canção "Ai Destino", gravada em 1995, tornou-se um êxito estrondoso e marcou definitivamente o estilo romântico que caracteriza a sua obra.

Mais um disco de platina em 1995, com o álbum Adeus Até Um Dia. Participou também, nesse ano, na gravação do disco Mãe Querida, no qual participam muitos outros cantores da editora.

No ano seguinte, 1997, editou novo álbum: Coração Perdido. Foi gravado um vídeo (da canção "Sonhos de Menino") na sua terra natal, Armadouro. Um ano volvido e novo álbum, "Sonhador, Sonhador" onde podemos encontrar êxitos como Coração Perdido, Sonhos de Menino e Minha Velha Guitarra, completando-se o ciclo dos primeiros 10 anos de carreira.

O ano de 1999 trouxe uma viragem à sua carreira. Editou o álbum Dois Corações Sozinhos, que incluiu canções como "Depois de Ti (Mais Nada)", "Dois Corações Sozinhos"  e "Quando eras Minha". Foi disco de ouro. Recebeu o prémio da TVI para melhor cantor masculino e para a melhor canção romântica.

Foi em Janeiro de 2000 que se consagrou nos palcos de Paris. O seu espectáculo foi gravado, dando origem à edição do álbum "Ao vivo no Olympia", que viria a obter tripla platina. Manteve-se nas listas dos discos mais vendidos durante 54 semanas, 37 das quais em primeiro lugar.

Em 2001, um ano mais tarde, Tony voltou ao palco do Olympia, mais uma vez com grande sucesso. 2002 trouxe o cantor a um emocionante concerto no Coliseu de Lisboa. Editou "Cantor de Sonhos".

Celebrou 15 anos de carreira em 2003 com um concerto no Pavilhão Atlântico, em Lisboa. O concerto foi gravado em CD e DVD, com o nome 15 anos de Canções - Ao Vivo No Pavilhão Atlântico, tornando-se quádrupla platina.

Em Dezembro de 2006 foi lançado o álbum A Vida Que Eu Escolhi. Este álbum obteve um grande sucesso, chegando à dupla platina em pré-venda e mais tarde à quádrupla platina.

No âmbito da celebração dos seus 20 anos de carreira, apresentou-se ao público, em Março de 2008, para dois concertos no Pavilhão Atlântico, ambos com lotação esgotada, em 2 dias consecutivos.

Ainda em 2008, lançou um novo disco, intitulado O Homem Que Sou, que se viria a revelar um sucesso, tendo atingido o primeiro lugar nas tabelas de vendas discográficas portuguesas.

Em 2010 é editado o álbum O Mesmo de Sempre. Em Dezembro de 2012 é lançado o disco "Essencial" que servirá para comemorar os 25 anos de carreira.

Em fevereiro de 2014 lança Nos fiançailles, France/Portugal, apenas para os mercados francófonos, onde cantou acompanhado de cantores franceses como Natasha St-Pier, Vincent Niclo, Gérard Lenorman, Michel Sardou, Dany Brillant, Serge Lama, Anggun, Didier Barbelivien, Lisa Angell e Hélène Ségara.

O álbum "Sempre" foi lançado no dia 15 de Dezembro de 2014. " Não Te vou mentir" aparece na banda sonora da telenovela Jardins Proibidos da TVI.

Depois de ter editado o álbum "Nos fiançailles, France/Portugal" Tony Carreira já prepara um novo disco para ser lançado no mercado Francês.

"Mon Fado" é o disco que o cantor romântico gravou em 2016. Neste trabalho discográfico Tony Carreira colabora com Serge Lama, Gioacchino, Jacques Veneruso e também com o celebre autor e compositor de fado, Jorge Fernando. "Mon Fado" é um disco que revisitou, na voz de Tony Carreira e com uma nova roupagem grande êxitos como "Canção do Mar", "Casa Portuguesa", "Avril au Portugal", "Sodade", entre outros temas, para além de que irá incluir três temas inéditos. inclui a nova música em português Para Poder Amar-te.

Em 2018, lançou um livro intitulado O homem que sou.

Acusação de plágio
A 13 de setembro de 2017 é acusado pelo Ministério Público do plágio de 11 músicas. Depois de vários sites durante anos exporem diversas parecenças entre êxitos de Tony Carreira e músicas de autores Franceses e Sul Americanos, uma queixa faz com que o Ministério Público acuse o cantor conjuntamente com Ricardo Landum dos crimes de usurpação e contrafacção. Segundo notícias publicadas em diversos órgãos de comunicação social nacionais, o Ministério Público, face a uma acusação em 13 temas musicais e após realização de perícia em cada tema, aceitou uma queixa da Companhia Nacional da Música (CNM) contra Tony Carreira em 11 temas musicais. Com base na acusação formulada pela CNM ao Ministério Público, alguns dos principais êxitos do cantor Tony Carreira terão sido "copiados" de êxitos de outros artistas internacionais como Fédéric François, Roch Voisine, Jean-Jacques Goldman, Lara Fabien, David Charvet, Rudy Pérez ou Enrique Macias. Ao todo, segundo o Ministério Público, o cantor foi acusado de 11 crimes de usurpação e 11 crimes de contrafacção nos seguintes temas musicais:
 «Ai Destino, Ai Destino» (1995) : Zingarella, Enrico Macias (1988);
 «Sonhos de Menino» (1997): L'Idiot, Hervé Vilard (1981);
 «Adeus Até Um Dia» (1996): Tzigane, Frédéric François (1993);
 «Depois de ti (Mais Nada) (1999): Después de ti(que), Rudy Pérez (1997);
 «O anjo que eu era» (1998): Regarde Toi, David Charvet (1997);
 «Leva-me ao Céu» (1998): Suddenly You Love Me, The Tremeloes (1968);
 «Por ti» (2000): Je t'aime, Lara Fabian (1996);
 «Já que te vais?» (2001): Puisque tu pars, Jean-Jacques Goldman (1987);
 «Se acordo e tu não estás » (2000): Me muero, Pimpinella (1998);
 «Esta falta de ti» (2004): Toi qui manques à ma vie, Natasha St Pier (2001);
 «Porque é que vens» (2008): Ne viens pas, Roch Voisine (2005);

Também o compositor Ricardo Landum foi constituído arguido no mesmo processo. Segundo a acusação do Ministério Público «os arguidos aproveitam a matriz de obras alheias, utilizando a mesma estrutura, melodia, harmonia, ritmo e orquestração e, por vezes, a própria letra de obras estrangeiras que traduzem, obtendo um trabalho que não é mais do que uma reprodução parcial do original».

Após ser conhecida a acusação, Tony Carreira classificou a queixa de «sem fundamento», a qual não representa qualquer autor ou artista envolvido nas obras em causa.

Em 2018, o cantor fez um acordo com o Ministério Público, suspendendo o processo de plágio nos tribunais. Para tal, Tony Carreira doou 10 000 euros à Câmara Municipal da Pampilhosa da Serra e 10 000 euros à Associação de Apoio às Vítimas de Pedrogão Grande. Já Ricardo Landum pagou 2 000 euros a uma instituição particular de solidariedade social à sua escolha.

Popularidade e condecoração
Muito popular entre as comunidades portuguesas de emigrantes em França e também em Portugal. Em 2016, Tony Carreira foi condecorado pelo governo francês com a medalha de Cavaleiro da Ordem das Artes e das Letras.

Em agosto de 2014, separou-se da mulher, Fernanda Antunes, mãe dos seus três filhos. Casados desde 1985, o divórcio só se efetivou em 2019, após a divisão da fortuna de 10 milhões de euros em moradias, apartamentos e carros de luxo.

A 5 de dezembro de 2020, a cantora Sara Carreira, filha de Tony Carreira, morre num acidente de viação em Santarém, na autoestrada A1, com 21 anos.

A 2 de maio de 2021, a dia das Mães em Portugal, Tony Carreira anuncia oficialmente nas redes sociais a fundação de uma associação em memória da sua filha, a Associação Sara Carreira com o apoio da sua ex-mulher, Fernanda e dos seus dois filhos, Mickael e David. O objetivo é conceder bolsas de estudo a crianças carentes para que possam realizar seus sonhos.

Kansas City, MO. Jan 24, 2019– Acclaimed artist Andy Goldsworthy, who works with nature and time to create site-specific installations, will build Walking Wall in five successive sections at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City in 2019. Over a period of five installments, the wall will literally move from the east part of the museum to its final resting place inside and outside the Bloch Building lenses. The stone wall will fulfill Goldsworthy's long-held vision of creating a wall that inches its way through a place. Walking Wall will move from a five-acre piece of land east of the museum, onto the museum campus, and ultimately into the museum, drawing its way through the museum's campus.
These words have become connected to many of Goldsworthy's works and specifically to stone walls including one of his largest public installations to date, the iconic Storm King Wall, a 2,278-foot wall that snakes through the Storm King Art Center in New York.
The origin of the proposal for Walking Wall developed from Goldsworthy's observation of the volume of walls in Kansas City. William Rockhill Nelson is said to have built "miles" of rock walls, and he chose to use native limestone quarried on his property for Oak Hall, the site where the Museum now sits.
Goldsworthy's search for suitable stone for building Walking Wall led him to the Flint Hills where there is a history of quarrying limestone as well as the making of drystone walls. He had used Flint Hills Stone for a previous project in Wichita but was not aware of the prairie walls until his recent visit. Initially intending to use freshly quarried stone, Goldsworthy realized that they would look disconnected to the weathered walls around the museum. As a result, Walking Wall will contain a proportion of fresh stone but will mainly consist of weathered material left over from old quarries, old stone picked directly from the field, and old walls that were in the process of being torn down.
Two Wallers from the United Kingdom (one of whom worked on the Storm King Wall), supported by U.S. assistants, will build the wall under Goldsworthy's direction. The first section will be made in Spring 2019, and stones within that section will be moved to create the second section, culminating in the fifth and final section that will be complete in Fall 2019. The work will begin on museum property that is just east of the museum. It will cross Rockhill Road and will require the closing of the road for three to four weeks, in cooperation with the Parks and Recreation Department of Kansas City. The public will be allowed to watch the construction of the piece from a distance, allowing the viewer to see boundries cut across rather than created.
The installation has been commissioned by the Hall Family Foundation in honor of Estelle and Morton Sosland and their passionate and longstanding commitment to the arts in Kansas City. The Soslands originally commissioned the Shuttlecocks, which have become icons for Kansas City. The four Shuttlecocks, by artists Claes Oldenburg and Coosje Van Bruggen, were installed in the midst of great controversy in 1994.
A commissioned piece by Andy Goldsworthy is considered a triumphant addition to the Sculpture Park.
Goldsworthy was born in Cheshire, England, in 1956, and is now based in Scotland. Over his diverse career he has become known for creating works in both urban and rural locations using materials at hand – leaves, sticks, stones, even petals and ice. Many of his projects are transient or ephemeral in nature, although he captures the moment with photographs. Other projects are meant to be in place for many years, although Goldsworthy has a continual interest in the changes of time due to nature's effects or the passing of time.
His projects can be found worldwide, from the United States to Australia. Projects include Roof, nine stacked-slate domes in the East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., Stone Sea, arches of stone at the Saint Louis Art Museum, and Drawn Stone, a commissioned work in the entry courtyard of San Francisco's De Young Museum, among many others. Goldsworthy is represented by Galerie Lelong & Co. In 2021 a traveling retrospective of his work will open at the Yale Center for British Arts.

From a preeminent researcher, this book looks at the key role of joint attention in both typical and atypical development. Peter C. Mundy shows that no other symptom dimension is more strongly linked to early identification and treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). He synthesizes a wealth of knowledge on how joint attention develops, its neurocognitive underpinnings, and how it helps to explain the learning, language, and social-cognitive features of ASD across the lifespan. Clinical implications are explored, including reviews of cutting-edge diagnostic methods and targeted treatment approaches.

Q: What is the networking.service? I'm learning Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and i confuse between networking.service, NetworkManager.service and systemd-networkd.service.
After googling i found that NetworkManager.service and systemd-networkd.service are two way to manage the network and we only need 1 of them. No result for networking.service.
I already tested on Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop and Server. On desktop NetworkManager.service and networking.service are active, on server only networking.service active. I don't understand what networking.service is?
Could you help me please?

A: networking.service raises or downs the network interfaces configured in /etc/network/interfaces, that is, those network interfaces which are not managed by NetworkManager. If you look into /lib/systemd/system/networking.service you will see that all it does is ifup or ifdown depending on whether it is to be started or stopped.
It is a oneshot unit, which means that it does its thing and exits, it does not remain running in the background.
By default all network interfaces are managed by NetworkManager and networking.service does nothing. On a server it is quite common to assign a static IP address to one or more interfaces by editing /etc/network/interfaces, and in this case those interfaces are no longer managed by NetworkManager and they are raised or downed by network.service.

Excuse moi for not blogging!
Helluu and I'm just here to apologize for not blogging for about two weeks now. The reason being I'm in the process of finishing up my actual subject content in school and am now prearing for the long months of revision before my exams which start in May! ERGH!
I will be blogging but if I don't it's due to time being taken up by my studies like I said before – I feel like Im repeating myself by mentioning this all the time but I'd rather you get regular updates of me saying the same thing rather than me saying it once and when months later I'm not blogging for a while the reason has changed. Ridikulus!
I'll blog of course every week again – but again in advance – if I end up leaving it a bit longer it is due to revision. BOOM!


The Canadian make-up company Make-up Art Cosmetics (a.k.a. M·A·C) has had an illustrious roster of spokespeople. Past celebs to grace M·A·C's ad campaigns range from Diana Ross to Pam Anderson to Rupaul to Lady Gaga. So it could be an interesting and tasteful shift to go from uber-celebrities to a well-known (at least in the art world) photographer. Right? Right?
Meet Cindy Sherman: photographer extraordinaire and the new face of M·A·C's Fall Colour collection, which launched last week. Sherman is perhaps best known for her self-portraits in the series Untitled Film Stills. As photographer and model for those 69 images, Sherman created different characters in various settings that contain harsh commentary about the role women play in society.
Fast-forward three decades, and it seems Sherman is up to her old tricks. The M·A·C photos of Sherman (created by–-you guessed it!-–Sherman) are each heavy-handed with the company's new line of colors. In one shot, she's portrayed as an overly made-up New Jersey housewife replete with gold hoops and fur. In the next one, she's a multi-hued deadpan clown. In the last image, she's a bewildering mix of Jocelyn Wildenstein and the sad futures facing the young cast members of Toddlers & Tiaras.
As an art exhibition, these photos would be a straightforward commentary on women and the ridiculousness of hiding behind an abundance of cosmetics. As an ad campaign, they seem quietly subversive. Surely the outlandish headshots aren't the best way to show off the newest line's attributes. Could it be that Sherman is mocking the makeup brush that paints her?


Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH didn't tell regulators that adjusting the dose of blood thinner Pradaxa could make it safer, according to a BMJ probe into the drug that's been linked to patient deaths.
The German company's own analysis indicated that adjustment of the dosage might help reduce the risk of major bleeding, a feared side effect of blood thinners, Deborah Cohen, BMJ's investigations editor, wrote today. Internal documents from 2011 showed that some Boehringer employees were concerned that if they advised the monitoring of Pradaxa levels it could damage the marketing case for the drug, the BMJ wrote.
Boehringer agreed in May to pay $650 million to settle the majority of U.S. lawsuits filed over Pradaxa, which has been linked to more than 500 patient deaths. Boehringer had presented its pill as a convenient alternative to the older blood thinner warfarin, which requires regular blood-testing to ensure the correct dose. The European Medicines Agency approved the product in 2011, a year after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
"Patients and doctors tolerant of unknown risk and close monitoring will have to choose which drives them more strongly, with the conservative option being warfarin," Rita Redberg, a professor of medicine at the University of California, and medical resident Blake Charlton wrote in an editorial accompanying the report. The BMJ "illuminates a lack of transparency about the safety" of the drug, they wrote.
Boehringer's Pradaxa won FDA approval in October 2010 and had 1.2 billion euros ($1.62 billion) in sales last year.
The drugmaker, based in Ingelheim, Germany, said it explored in 2012 whether monitoring plasma levels would improve the efficacy and safety of Pradaxa via mathematical models. The results didn't support monitoring, and were therefore not provided to regulators. The company said it found that other factors, such as age, kidney function and certain medications, are critical factors that can contribute to bleeding risk.

UK UPC ratification still on track despite Article 50 trigger
Annsley Merelle Ward Friday, March 31, 2017 - AmeriKat, Article 50, Brexit, Ratification UPC, UK IPO, UK ratification, Unified Patent Court, unitary patent
This afternoon the UK's IPO confirmed that this week's Article 50 trigger will not impact the UK's present UPC ratification plans. The news from the UK IPO is as follows:
"There has been some speculation this week about the UK's timetable for ratification of the Agreement. As reported in Managing IP on 30 March, we are fully on track to commence the provisional application period and ratify the UP Agreement according to the Preparatory Committee's timetable (i.e. provisional application in May and court operational in December 2017). We expect the legislation on privileges and immunities to be ready to lay after Easter."
Of course, many will not be wishing to count their ratification chickens before they are hatched.
The update from the UK IPO also confirmed that the UPC Preparatory Committee's HR team is ready to proceed with the judicial recruitment process following the commencement of the provisional application period.

Who is taking whom for a ride?
If UK wants to kill the UPC, this is the best way to behave.
One thing is clear: the lobbying of some circles, not to say U.K. law firms shows that what reasonable people consider stupid and foolish, might nevertheless become true.
Which reasonable legal adviser can suggest to his client to go for the UP, when it is not sure what will be the fate of the UPC.
I am still waiting for somebody to explain in a clear and concise matter how UK can stay in the UP after Brexit, and how enforcement will take place in the U.K. or in the other states for a decision taken by a local court or the section of the central court in UK.
The UPC is nothing more than a Trojan Horse coming to put European industry under pressure. Remember the proportion of applications coming from EU member states at the EPO? At best a third! And how many SMEs among those?
It is time to stop the ongoing hypocrisy.

It was a bad idea from the start, irrespective of Brexit. Pushed for by the litigation community in complete ignorance of the realities of the industries they purport to represent. Further evidence, if it were ever needed, of the self-serving bubble of ignorance and incompetence in which such lawyers reside.
This is an April Fool's, surely.....?
MaxDrei Saturday, 1 April 2017 at 17:29:00 BST
The UK is busy gathering cards to play in its negotiations with the 27. Hinting at weakened co-operation on security against terrorism is just one dirty example. Ratifying the UPC is just another card in the hand.
Would you mind letting the readers know the exact source of these "news"? Is the above based on an offical statement by the UK IPO and if so, where can this be found?
kungfh Sunday, 2 April 2017 at 17:41:00 BST
The only interest group in Britain which has any interest in the UK acceding to the UP are law firms. British law firms which are just the post office of American and some Asian applicants will be marginalised if they will no be eligible to present before the UPC. Due to the high cost of litigation in the UK and by consequence the low number of court cases they have basically no real court experience and they wont get it before the UPC. To a very small extent Irish firms will take over, and German lawyers take the win. The best thing the British lawyers can hope for is no UPC at all or requalify as plumbers with all the Polish plumbers leaving the Island, this seems a more rewarding career prospect.
M.S. Sunday, 2 April 2017 at 22:52:00 BST
MaxDrei,
you refer to the dirty example of using security as a negotiating card. The EU nationals living around Europe (i.e. non-UK nationals living in UK, and UK nationals living abroad) who do not have any security of their future because they are merely cards to bargain with may think your example should not be top of the list.
Secondly, security under Europol is a legitimate card as it is an EU-institution and hence needs to be dealt with in any 'new-deal'. Other security matters include the UK's commitment to NATO. This is not up for discussion in any case, although it is worth mentioning that the UK contribute more to European security than most European countries, both in cash terms and as a percentage of GDP (hence Trump's justified criticism).
Thirdly, the card that has been raised regarding Gibraltar is not even an EU issue, yet Europe has dared to play a territorial dispute card on behalf of one of its members. As someone who voted 'Remain' I find this an extraordinary move. Crassness of the highest magnitude. A clear sign that those in power are abusing that power in old-fashioned ways that Europe has had enough of. I'd never have thought that Merkel would be the German leader that resorted the nation to type, but I must accept again that I am proven wrong.
It is repeatedly stated by European leaders that "the British are different" and said words have been used this week repeatedly to criticise the UK. In reality, this must be seen as a complement.
Anonymous Monday, 3 April 2017 at 09:46:00 BST
It is rather amusing to believe the UK would consider the UPC a "card in the hand" and frankly ridiculous for anyone to believe the UPC will be given a moment's thought by any EU member state.
Dream on Herr Drei. Fantasyland must be a strange place.
MaxDrei Monday, 3 April 2017 at 10:43:00 BST
Several issues raised, in those last comments. One of them relevant to patents namely UPC as negotiating card.
I didn't write enough. the way I see it, the UK was well on the way to ratification before the BREXIT vote. SI's already in place (or whatever). Then came BREXIT and then the meeting of the EU Competitiveness Council, at which the UK is asked, are you going to sign or not. What can the UK do, if not sign. It is still an EU Member State till the end of the Art 50 two year interregnum, isn't it. So it did what good Europeans do, and signed. The "negotiating card" is the argument that, round here, we Brits are the ones who do things in an orderly fashion, by the book. That counts for something in negotiations, doesn't it?
Now to Gibraltar. Bilateral ES-GB? Of course. So why is anybody opportunistically raising it now? Ask Spain, I would suggest. And how to explain the reaction in Berlin? What else can Merkel realistically say?
@MaxDrei: doing things 'in an orderly fashion' would mean first discussing what is going to happen post-Brexit before starting up the UPC and UP.
And off-topic: Spain will share a border with this new neighbour of the EU. Of course they want to have a say in what kind of trade agreement will apply to that border.
"Now to Gibraltar. Bilateral ES-GB? Of course. So why is anybody opportunistically raising it now? Ask Spain, I would suggest. And how to explain the reaction in Berlin? What else can Merkel realistically say?"
Merkel can realistically say that Germany does not support the EU getting involved in extra-EU (inc/ extra EU-ex-UK) territorial affairs. However, Germany and Merkel have frequently stated and it appears to be a commonly held believe throughout Europe (exc. UK), that the existence of European Union prevents the outbreak of a new war, which obviously means Germany-led invasions. Merkel could come out and say that Germany promises to behave irrespective of the continued existence of the EU, as agreed at the end of the second world war (and first), but then she probably has a degree of integrity and doesn't want to be called out in the history books as going back on her word?
On the first point, again, the UPC is a non-issue on the political list of priorities. There was no urgency for the UK to sign and it would have been reasonable not to pending an idea on how things would work when the UK leaves. No point setting off on boat journey when you know the plug will be pulled when out in deep water.
As to the land border between Gibraltar and Spain, recall that the people of Gibraltar have "spoken". 96% of them don't want to leave. Further, is Gibraltar even part of the UK? I'm not sure. It seems that it is and it isn't depending on what issue one is debating.
And if it's not, why does it have to leave the EU? To preserve its position as a tax haven, part of the global financial laundromat, a UK speciality and gift to the world?
Spain surely has a legitimate interest in establishing early whether its land border with Gibraltar is or is not part of the periphery of the EU.
Gibraltar is part of the UK. Surprised that needs stating. The border with Spain is an irrelevance, but nice try. Ireland (Republic thereof) has a border with the UK, a difficult issue, to say the least. Ireland has not been given a veto over a trade deal with Norther Ireland. Not yet anyway, but plenty of time for Merkel.
Shall I go though the other EU-member/non-EU borders?
I guess Europeans (true Europeans) are feeling proud of their leaders' anti-UK stance.

"Anonymous said...Gibraltar is part of the UK. Surprised that needs stating."
Actually, as a self-governing British Overseas Territory, Gibraltar isn't, constitutionally speaking, part of the UK. And if you're an IP practitioner, you should know about this, since this means, among other things, that UK patents and trademarks aren't automatically valid and enforceable in Gibraltar, but need to be registered at Gibraltar's Companies' House to be extended there. Surprised that needs stating.
BTW, this raises an interesting question: will unitary patents, at least for the short while from the start of the UPC to Brexit, automatically cover Gibraltar? We know that they will cover the Isle of Man, but only because a specific Order was passed in order to reconcile the fact that UK patents are protected under Manx law with the Isle of Man's non-EU status. Gibraltar's situation, on the other hand, is the opposite: uniquely among British Overseas Territories, it's (for the time being) in the EU, but UK patents aren't protected under Gibraltar law.
Funny how when the UK voted to leave the EU, Gibraltar was part of the vote and will leave along with the UK. The UK Patents Act also has separate sections dealing with Scotland - did I miss the Yes vote for Scottish independence?
he comment stated "Further, is Gibraltar even part of the UK? I'm not sure. It seems that it is and it isn't depending on what issue one is debating."
Seeing as how the issue we are debating is the EU and sovereignty, for said purposes Gibraltar is part of the UK.
Regarding the UPC comment it is incorrect to state that Gibraltar is in the EU, because clearly it is not, but I am not one to split hairs, so I am prepared to accept that it is.
MaxDrei Tuesday, 4 April 2017 at 06:49:00 BST
Wow! When I typed my last Comment, little was I expecting those two answers. What a contrast in quality, eh? Thank you Madhouse, for a very illuminating comment. Thank you anonymous poster for reminding us how little we should rely on postings by people who choose to remain anonymous. No, I think we don't need to trouble you to run through for us all the "other" EU borders.
Anybody any idea why Gibraltar "uniquely amongst all the other BOT's" is for the time being "in" the EU. How did that happen then? Is Gibraltar expressly mentioned in the UK acquis? Or are there separate Instruments of Accession somewhere, for Gibraltar alone? Was there a formal signing ceremony when Gibraltar was handed the keys to the EU door.
Incidentally, do those of Gibraltar nationality hold UK passports, EU passports, no passports or what?
I wonder, can Gibraltar's EU membership perhaps survive even after departure of the UK from the EU? It could then be an ongoing "British" landing pad on the face of Battlestar Galactica, long after the UK mother ship has jetted off into the wide blue yonder.
Glad to be out of the madhouse Tuesday, 4 April 2017 at 07:56:00 BST
@M.S.:
"Thirdly, the card that has been raised regarding Gibraltar is not even an EU issue, yet Europe has dared to play a territorial dispute card on behalf of one of its members"
What territorial dispute card? The only ones who have raised any territorial dispute card are a handful of delusional British politicians and the usual overventilating tabloids. What the EU Council has stated in its negotiating guidelines is the following:
"After the United Kingdom leaves the Union, no agreement between the EU and the UK may apply to the territory of Gibraltar without the agreement between the kingdom of Spain and the UK."
So there's on one hand stating the bleedin' obvious: as a British Overseas Territory, Gibraltar is not, constitutionally, part of the UK, and most UK law (notably tax law or indeed IP law) doesn't apply there. Consequently, a post-Brexit UK/EU agreement will not necessarily extend to Gibraltar, or any other BOT for that matter. Indeed, already now, Gibraltar is the only BOT in the EU, thanks to an ad hoc provision in the UK's EEC accession treaty, and it's nevertheless outside the EU's customs union (or indeed the EPC and even the Paris Convention).
Then there's acknowledging that a remaining EU member state, namely Spain, has a special interest in any Gibraltar-related issue in a post-Brexit UK/EU agreement, if only because of its neighbourhood, and may well capsize any agreement that doesn't take this into account (because it'll have a veto power over it, just like any member state or indeed individual Belgian regions). EU negotiators thus beware.
The EU Council has merely put those two clear truths in writing, and this has led to one of the greatest British over-reactions ever since the War of Jenkins' Ear, with much immoderate talk of invasions and naval task forces, although, to be fair, at least the PM has managed to keep a cool head. Your stiff upper lips are sorely missing, old chaps.
Anonymous Tuesday, 4 April 2017 at 10:27:00 BST
Sorry to disagree with the clique, but joining a gang does not make your joint position correct.
"Then there's acknowledging that a remaining EU member state, namely Spain, has a special interest in any Gibraltar-related issue in a post-Brexit UK/EU agreement, if only because of its neighbourhood,.. "
The issue is a territorial dispute.
When the UK leaves the EU, and takes it's strangely-defined territories with it, the UK will also be outside of the customs union etc. The things is, chaps, we British have a thing about protecting our territory and the people of Gibraltar are 100% British in respect of EU affairs. I'm surprised that this point needs stating, but please go scrolling through the British constitution, if you can find it, to argue otherwise.
Spain and the EU are perfectly within their moral rights to make whatever demands they see fit. However, Spain has made a mistake that fellow EU-members (non-UK, non-British non-IOM, non-special overseas outpost of the Prince of wales etc) will be unhappy about. The people of Catalonia may now decide to leave the EU as a separate nation, too.
British overreaction? Every reaction the British make that the EU members disagree with is an overreaction. At least there will be no dispute over who gets the CD collection - the EU are welcome to keep the Eurovision Song Contest, something they are understandably proud of as it keeps them from starting world wars, and is a great example of how European politics works.
There was a spelling mistake in an earlier post so maybe you can criticise the non-gang members for that. Anything to avoid dealing with the issues.
Anonymous@23:35
I suggest that, before commenting again, you read up on Gibraltar's admittedly quite peculiar legal status.
Gibraltar is indeed (until Brexit) in the EU, under Art. 355(3) TFEU:
"The provisions of the Treaties shall apply to the European territories for whose external relations a Member State is responsible."
The only such "European territory for whose external relations a Member State (until 2019) is responsible" is...Gibraltar (the UK Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia in Cyprus being explicitly excluded by Art. 355(5)(b) TFEU).
This is indeed why Gibraltar was involved in the Brexit referendum (and, incidentally, voted 96% to remain), and also why it will necessarily leave with the UK.
The UK Patents Act may have separate sections dealing with Scotland, to take into account the specificities of the Scots legal system, but my whole point is that the UK Patents Act (like most laws passed by Westminster) isn't at all applicable to Gibraltar, whose own Parliament is competent for all domestic matters, including IP law.
"Seeing as how the issue we are debating is the EU and sovereignty, for said purposes Gibraltar is part of the UK."
This is supposed to be a law blog, and good legal professionals understand the importance of using the proper legal language. Gibraltar is under British sovereignty, but it isn't part of the UK, and any patent attorney who'd lead his client to believe that Gibraltar is part of the UK and his UK patents and trademarks thus valid and enforceable on the territory of Gibraltar would be exposing himself to allegations of malpractice.
Anonymous@10:27:
The issue is NOT the territorial dispute. Not now, not today.
We've repeteadly been told that "Brexit is Brexit". The UK is thus leaving the EU. When it leaves the EU, the ties of Gibraltar to the EU under Art. 355(3) TFEU will be severed. And Gibraltar will not necessarily be covered by any eventual post-Brexit agreement between the UK and the EU regarding e.g. customs, financial services, the environment, taxes or indeed IP, because Gibraltar is self-governing and thus has its own policies and regulations regarding customs, financial services, the environment, tax, IP, etc.
In fact, it could even be in the common interest of the UK, Spain and Gibraltar to have a separate post-Brexit deal for Gibraltar, rather than a one-size-fits-all deal: the UK government has made it abundantly clear that it wants to end the freedom of movement of people between the UK and the EU, but both the Gibraltar government and the Spanish government have spoken of the need to preserve the rights of the thousands of Spanish workers commuting daily to work in Gibraltar.
"the people of Gibraltar are 100% British in respect of EU affairs"
Actually, the issue of citizenship is yet another one, distinct from that of the territory. Citizens of Gibraltar are British Overseas Territories citizens with the right to register as British citizens.
Sorry to disappoint Mr Madhouse, but the legal position of the citizens of Gibraltar re EU is as stated.
There is also a special relationship between the UK and Ireland regarding the movement of people etc, and there is no veto provided by the EU. Why not? Discrimination against Ireland? Scotland also has its own parliament - we just happen to have a complicated system of government.
If you don't understand the dispute between Spain and the UK as being territorial you are quite frankly deluded.
References to the UK Patents Act are an irrelevance in this issue. Basically, the only argument the clique have to counter the criticism of Spain and the EU for being crass in raising the territorial dispute as part of Brexit negotiations, is the construction of language regarding the exact sovereign/constitutional relationship between Gibraltar an whatever is defined as the UK. Said definition varying in accordance with the relevant issues.
The commentator even said the applicability of the UPC to Gibraltar was unclear. Why should tis be so when everyone is so adamant they understand the constitutional issues? Of course, our constitution is clear as crystal, so surprising our Supreme Court needed to sit en masse to asses a recent issue - Brexit!
The anti-anonymous card employed by the Kat-Clique is tiresome. Readers have no idea who MaxDrei, pudding-eater and madnuts are. Hardly famous You-Tubers.
Dear M.S.,
"There is also a special relationship between the UK and Ireland regarding the movement of people etc, and there is no veto provided by the EU. Why not? Discrimination against Ireland? Scotland also has its own parliament - we just happen to have a complicated system of government."
Northern Ireland and Scotland are, for the time being, part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, whereas Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory, under the sovereignity and jurisdiction, but not part of, said United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The provisions of treaties subscribed to by the United Kingdom apply across the United Kingdom, but not necessarily in the BOTs: for instance, the EPC does not extend to Gibraltar. The people of Scotland and Northern Ireland are represented in the House of Commons, whereas the people of Gibraltar or any other BOT aren't. Yes, your constitutional system is indeed complicated, so I'd appreciate if you made a slight effort trying to understand it, rather than having a Johnny Foreigner like me explain the crucial differences between UK and BOTs to you. Repeatedly.
Kant Tuesday, 4 April 2017 at 14:31:00 BST
Strangely, I always wondered how Gibraltar would fit into the UPC system, with on the one hand the EU considering it to be part of the UK but from a UK perspective it was not.
Anyway, that seems as though it will not now be a relevant issue.
On the Brexit front, I viewed the statement relating to Gibraltar as being out of place entirely. Pre-Brexit, all states have a veto and after Brexit, the remaining EU states could agree among themselves whatever they wanted, it being nothing to do with the UK. I see the inclusion as a comfort blanket for Spain who presumably were concerned that any deal could be imposed on them through the qualified majority system.
Kant, it is a separate veto purely for the benefit of Spain to allow them to oppress Gibraltar in order to support their sovereignty-claim agenda. On many occasions the EU has stood idly by and watched Spain breach EU law by its actions against Gibraltar and now it has come out of the closet to support them openly.
The mis-placed strategy was launched expecting Britain to abandon the Gibraltarians (British by right and/or British under EU laws) so that they would come begging Spain to take them under their wing and bring them back into the protection of the Motherland (the German-run EU).
It is correct that the Brexit deal (if one is made) requires all member-states approval, but the deal the EU members (including Spain) would agree for the EU dealings with the UK could not be scuppered as a whole by Spain's obsession with Gibraltar.
If you want to understand the very may nuance of the UK/British territories, oddly enough you should speak to the xenophobe of the madhouse who is the world expert. Shame that as a Johnny Foreigner he isn't allowed to be a judge in our Supreme Court. Unless he, being the expert (as he repeatedly states), knows otherwise.
MaxDrei Wednesday, 5 April 2017 at 08:10:00 BST
Good that our troubled (about Spain's "obsession" with Gibraltar) anonymous poster now has a name, "MS".
What better than his last contribution though, to evidence that old saw that "It takes one to know one".
Something like: I know you and I say that what you say doesn't count 'cos you're an idle Germany-obsessed xenophobe and an arrogant self-proclaimed expert.

M.S. put his/her name to one of the earliest comments on this thread, and many people I know no longer follow this blog, because of the attitudes of the 'old boys' to those who have opinions that differ. It is all too often the case that ad-hominem attacks are made by this group.
The "no, that's you that is" response being the puerile depths sunk to keep the blog clear of interlopers.

@Anon, 9:38:
As I see it, the reason why many people turn away from the IPkat is not so much related to "old boys", but rather to the blog's apparent transformation from an academic, open-minded forum valuing free speech into a marketing tool for the interests of those in charge after Jeremy's departure and for their firms, apparently aiming at influencing public opinion on certain topics.
This has been re-emphasized recently by the blog's sudden refusal to cover the situation at the EPO any longer, but it is obvious for quite some now also in relation to the UPC topic, on which comments expressing a certain, probably undesired opinion seem to go missing on an unusually regular basis.
Meldrew Thursday, 13 April 2017 at 07:42:00 BST
The two orders on the Protocol on Privileges and Immunities are yet to be presented to the Westminster and Scottish Parliaments.
Although in theory these orders do not have to be passed for the UK to ratify the UPC Agreement, the lack of progress implies an increasingly tight timetable to those not accustomed to the "flexible" approach to constitutional matters "enjoyed" in the UK.
Despite public protestation that the ratification will take place, continued delay is not good PR for the UK and fingers need to be extracted. At present the UK gives every appearance of having their thumb up their bum and their brain in neutral.
Let us hope that after the Easter recess our legislators will be reinvigorated into something resembling action.
