Not to be confused with the European Court of Justice, the highest court of the CJEU.
The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) (French: Cour de justice de l'Union européenne) is the institution of the European Union (EU) that encompasses the whole judiciary.
Seated in Luxembourg, Luxembourg, it consists of three separate courts: the Court of Justice, the General Court, and the Civil Service Tribunal.
CJEU is the chief judicial authority of the European Union and oversees the uniform application and interpretation of European Union law, in co-operation with the national judiciary of the member states. CJEU also resolves legal disputes between national governments and EU institutions, and may take action against EU institutions on behalf of individuals, companies or organisations whose rights have been infringed.
the Civil Service Tribunal, a specialised court which hears disputes between the EU and its staff.
CJEU was originally established in 1952 as a single court called the Court of Justice of the European Coal and Steel Communities (as of 1958 the Court of Justice of the European Communities (CJEC)).
The General Court was created in 1988 (known as the Court of First Instance) and the Civil Service Tribunal was created in 2004.
With the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon in 2009, the court system obtained its current name (Court of Justice of the European Union), while the court itself was renamed "Court of Justice".

The CDC and HIV.gov Outlines New Information in the Battle to Fight AIDS/HIV in The United States
World AIDS Day 2019 #WAD2019
"We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to end the HIV epidemic in the United States. Now is the time."
World AIDS Day was first observed in 1988. Each year, on December 1, organizations and individuals across the world work to bring attention to the continuing HIV epidemic, endeavoring to increase HIV awareness and knowledge, speak out against HIV stigma, and call for an increased response to move toward Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America.
HIV in America
Collective efforts over many years at the local, state, and federal levels have successfully increased the proportion of people living with HIV who know their status and who are in care and receiving HIV treatment. In addition, our collective efforts have reduced new HIV infections to the lowest level ever. But, progress is slowing and new threats to our continued progress have emerged.
According to the latest available data, in 2017, 38,739 people received an HIV diagnosis in the United States. [1] That annual number of new diagnoses has remained essentially stable since 2013. Further, approximately 15% (or 1 in 7) of the estimated 1.1 million people with HIV in the U.S. don't know they have it. These data make clear that not all people who need them are benefitting from the proven HIV prevention and treatment tools currently available. Specifically, certain populations and geographic areas continue to bear a disproportionate burden of HIV disease, requiring us to sharpen the focus of our collective prevention efforts on:
Gay and bisexual men who are the population most affected by HIV in all regions of the country. In 2017, gay and bisexual men accounted for 66% ( 25,748) of all HIV diagnoses and 82% of diagnoses among males. [2]
African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos who are disproportionately affected by HIV. African Americans account for only 13% of the population, but 43 % of HIV diagnoses in 2017. [3] Hispanics/Latinos account for only 18% of the population, but 26% of HIV diagnoses in 2017.
Southern states accounted for 52% of the 38,739 new HIV diagnoses in 2017. Southern states account for just 38% of the U.S. population, so HIV diagnoses are not evenly distributed regionally in the United States. Further, in the South the impact of HIV is greater than in any other region. The latest data tells us that 51% of annual HIV infections, 46% of persons with HIV, and 51% of undiagnosed HIV infections were found in the South.
Knowledge of HIV status is the entry point to linkage to receiving effective care and treatment for those who test positive, helping them to stay healthy and prevent new HIV infections. A person with HIV who takes HIV medicine daily as prescribed and gets and stays virally suppressed [having very low levels of HIV present in the body, known as a low viral load] can stay healthy and has effectively no risk of sexually transmitting HIV to HIV-negative partners.
Despite these outstanding benefits of HIV treatment, the latest data tells us that among all adults and adolescents with HIV in the U.S., only: [4]
63% received some HIV medical care,
49% were retained in continuous HIV care, and
51% had achieved viral suppression (having a very low level of the virus as a result of treatment). [5]
Knowledge of HIV status is also an entry point to prevention services for those who test negative. Today's highly effective HIV prevention tools include pre-exposure prophylaxis or PrEP, a daily pill which reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by more than 90%. However, fewer than 10% of Americans who could benefit from PrEP have been prescribed it.

New Leadership Structure is Expected to Help Further Turn the Financial Ship Around As Company Moves Beyond Closing and Selling Off Magazine Titles, Layoffs and Consolidation of Workforce Across All Titles
Long expected, Condé Nast yesterday appointed a new global leadership team designed to accelerate the company's evolution into a 21st-century media company. The new organizational structure, which combines Condé Nast and Condé Nast International into a unified global team, was created with several guiding principles in mind, including the preservation of local editorial voice and authority, an enhanced focus on the consumer, unification of the company's ad and commercial sales functions to reflect clients' local and global needs and the development of new ways to share capabilities and best practices across the company.
Condé Nast is a global media company, home to iconic brands including Vogue, The New Yorker, GQ, Glamour, AD, Vanity Fair, and Wired, among many others. The company's award-winning content reaches 84 million consumers in print, 367 million in digital and 379 million across social platforms, and generates more than 1 billion video views each month. The company is headquartered in London and New York and operates in 32 markets worldwide including China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico & Latin America, Russia, Spain, Taiwan, the U.K., and the U.S., with local license partners across the globe. Launched in 2011, Condé Nast Entertainment is an award-winning production and distribution studio that creates programming across film, television, social and digital video and virtual reality.
"One of my top priorities has been to define our organizational structure so that we can take full advantage of our unique growth opportunities and exceptional content around the world," said the recently-appointed CEO of Condé Nast, RogerLynch "I'm confident that our new global structure will better enable us to collaborate across teams and markets and, ultimately, deliver unparalleled experiences for our consumers and clients."
The new structure is as follows:
Global Content Functions:: Anna Wintour, U.S. Artistic Director, Editor-in-Chief of Vogue U.S. and (newly-appointed) Global Content Advisor, will continue in her role as U.S. Artistic Director and Editor-in-Chief of Vogue U.S., and will add Global Content Advisor and oversight of Vogue International to her responsibilities. In her expanded role, Wintour will advise the executive leadership team on global content opportunities and act as a resource to editors-in-chief and editorial talent worldwide.
Oren Katzeff, President of Condé Nast Entertainment (CNE), will expand the company's digital video, film and television operations to create best-in-class video content experiences for audiences worldwide. The company has been increasing its focus on video content and currently generates 1.1 billion video views per month. Under Oren's leadership, CNE will now be the core of our global network of video teams, supporting the growth of our video businesses in all markets.
David Remnick, Editor-in-Chief of The New Yorker, will also continue to report directly to Lynch.
Global Operations Organization: Wolfgang Blau, President, International & Chief Operating Officer will oversee all non-U.S. markets, as well as selected global strategic functions, including Product & Technology, Data, Licensing, Global Editorial Operations, Business Development, and Delivery & Business Transformation. This organization will ensure day-to-day operational excellence and capability sharing across the business.
Global Commercial Organization: Pamela Drucker Mann, Global Chief Revenue Officer & President, U.S. Revenue, will lead a new global revenue organization that brings together the company's U.S. and international ad sales, creative and agency, B2B marketing and client service capabilities. Jamie Jouning, promoted to Chief Client Officer, will report to Drucker Mann and oversee key global accounts, multi-market deals, and central digital ad operations. Drucker Mann will define ad sales and ad product strategies globally, and work closely with Jamie and the central team and commercial leads in the company's worldwide markets to drive overall ad, agency, and B2B revenue and share best practices.
Consumer Marketing Organization: Condé Nast is creating a new consumer marketing organization that will be led by a Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) and will bring added focus to the company's direct-to-consumer efforts. As the company expands its consumer offerings, this team will be charged with developing best-in-class capabilities and consistency across consumer experiences on every platform. The team will also be responsible for consumer revenue, with a core focus on subscriptions and memberships. In addition, the team will have responsibility for global brand management, consumer research, and insights and global audience development, ensuring a data-driven approach to the company's efforts. The search for a CMO to lead this new organization will begin immediately.
Corporate Functions: The company is also globalizing its three corporate functions to leverage skills, expertise and standardize processes and best practices: People, Finance and Communications. The company will begin an immediate search and selection process for these and other open roles. Until new leaders are identified, teams will maintain their existing reporting lines and responsibilities.
"We're bringing added focus to our direct-to-consumer efforts and will build a new consumer marketing function that will be charged with developing best-in-class subscription and membership capabilities, and maintaining the authenticity of our iconic global brands," Lynch continued. "And by transforming our sales organization into a unified global team, Condé Nast will be better positioned to serve the holistic needs of our clients around the world and make it easier for them to do business with us."

Blu-ray Review: Gorgeous Transfers, Hours of Bonus Material For 'Universal Classic Monsters'
Submitted by BrianTT on October 3, 2012 - 2:16pm
Bride of Frankenstein
Creature of the Black Lagoon
The Wolf Man
CHICAGO – It's incredible to think about the influence of the wave of Universal monsters movies released by the studio in the '30s and '40s and recently collected in a gorgeous box set titled "Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection." Sure, several of the iconic characters like Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Mummy had source material to draw from but it really is the way that the Universal films, their directors, and the actors cast in them brought them to life that really defined them.


Second consecutive day of protests: Thousands of Egyptians defy gov't ban on protests, angrily calling on President Mubarak to resign. Six dead.
Second day in a row: Thousands of Egyptians defied a government ban on protests today and angrily called on President Hosni Mubarak to resign.
The U.S.seems to have partially abandoned its long-time Arab ally, with Secretary of State Hilary Clinton telling the Mubarak government it must implement democratic reforms and allow peaceful protests.
Six people are reported dead and hundreds have been arrested following the second day of protests in several Egyptian cities. In the city of Suez, rioting demonstrators set fire to a government building on Thursday.
The ailing Mubarak, 82, has been in power since 1981, after the assassination of his predecessor Anwar Sadat. He has not said whether he will run in the September elections; he has long been considering backing his son Jamal.
A leading figure in the pro-reforms movement is Mohamed ElBaradei, who is set to return to Egypt as the anti-government protests give his bid for the presidency a powerful boost.
The White House pointedly turned down a direct opportunity to affirm support for Mubarak. Asked if the Obama administration still backed Mubarak, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said only, "Egypt is a strong ally."
"I do think it's possible for there to be reforms," Clinton said at a State Department press conference with visiting Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh, "and that is what we are urging and calling for."
The U.S.position is somewhat surprising, seeing as if Mubarak's regime falls, it is likely that the extremist anti-Israel and anti-West Islamic Brotherhood will gain much power.

the Virtuoso
Khada Jhin, the Virtuoso"Art requires a certain…cruelty."
Jhin is a meticulous criminal psychopath who believes murder is art. Once an Ionian prisoner, but freed by shadowy elements within Ionia's ruling council, the serial killer now works as their cabal's assassin. Using his gun as his paintbrush, Jhin creates works of artistic brutality, horrifying victims and onlookers. He gains a cruel pleasure from putting on his gruesome theater, making him the ideal choice to send the most powerful of messages: terror.
For years, Ionia's southern mountains were plagued by the infamous "Golden Demon." Throughout the province of Zhyun, a monster slaughtered scores of travelers and sometimes whole farmsteads, leaving behind twisted displays of corpses. Armed militias searched the forests, towns hired demon hunters, Wuju masters patrolled the roads – but nothing slowed the beast's grisly work.
In desperation, the Council of Zhyun sent an envoy to beg Great Master Kusho for help. Upon hearing of the region's plight, Kusho feigned an excuse for why he couldn't help. But a week later, the master, his son Shen, and star apprentice Zed, disguised themselves as merchants and moved to the province. In secret, they visited the countless families emotionally shattered by the killings, dissected the horrific crime scenes, and looked for possible connections or patterns to the murders.
Their investigation took four long years, and left the three men changed. The famous red mane of Kusho turned white; Shen, known for his wit and humor, became somber; and Zed, the brightest star of Kusho's temple, began to struggle with his studies. Upon finally finding a pattern to the killings, the Great Master is quoted as saying: "Good and evil are not truths. They are born from men and each sees the shades differently."
Depicted in a variety of plays and epic poems, the capture of the "Golden Demon" would be the seventh and final great feat in the illustrious career of Lord Kusho. On the eve of the Blossom Festival in Jyom Pass, Kusho disguised himself as a renowned calligrapher to blend in with the other guest artists. Then he waited. Everyone had assumed only an evil spirit could commit these horrifying crimes, but Kusho had realized the killer was an ordinary man. The famed "Golden Demon" was actually a mere stagehand in Zhyun's traveling theaters and opera houses working under the name Khada Jhin.
When they caught Jhin, young Zed marched forward to kill the cowering man, but Kusho held him back. Despite the horrors of Jhin's actions, the legendary master decided the killer should be taken alive and left at Tuula Prison. Shen disagreed, but accepted the emotionless logic of his father's judgment. Zed, disturbed and haunted by the murder scenes he had witnessed, was unable to understand or accept this mercy, and it is said a resentment began to bloom in his heart.
Though imprisoned in Tuula for many years, the polite and shy Khada Jhin revealed little of himself – even his real name remained a mystery. But while a prisoner, the monks noted he was a bright student who excelled in many subjects, including smithing, poetry, and dance. Regardless, the guards and monks could find nothing to cure him of his morbid fascinations.
Outside the prison, Ionia fell into turmoil as the Noxian empire's invasion led to political instability. War awoke the tranquil nation's appetite for bloodshed. The peace and balance Kusho had famously fought to protect was shattered from within as dark hearts rose in power and secret alliances competed for influence. Desperate to counter the power of the ninja and Wuju swordsmen, a cabal within the ruling council conspired to secretly free Jhin and turn him into a weapon of terror.
Now with access to the Kashuri armories' new weapons, and nearly unlimited funds, the scale of Khada Jhin's "performances" has grown. His work has brought fear to many foreign dignitaries and to Ionia's secret political underground, but how long will a serial killer, craving attention, be satisfied working in the shadows?

Learn more about Mike Swaney's use of bright colors and shapes, and developing his own very unique brand of painting.
Micheal Swaney is a Canadian artist based out of Barcelona. The artist studied Fine Art foundations at University of Victoria before graduating with a degree in Illustration and Design from Vancouver's Capilano University in 2000. Exhibiting internationally since 2004, Swaney has since displayed his work across North America and Europe.
Swaney's style is a mixture of geometrical shapes and dream like abstract lines. In his 3D, performance sculpture and video work, the naïve approach conjugates with the absurdity of the subject and the formal experimentation. The artist creates a singular universe where the childish spirit of the viewer wanders. The art requires a lot of attention before all of the elements fully sink in.

Q: SelectedNode Property Of TreeView Object Hangs The Form Multithreading I am working on a GUI script and I ran into a problem with my TreeView object. The problem occurs when I try to display the SelectedNode property or try to use the GetNodeAt() method of a TreeView that is displayed in another thread. I am able to display the TreeView object itself though. This is a sample of what I'm trying to do:
    $form = new-object system.windows.forms.form
    $treeview = new-object system.windows.forms.treeview
    $treeview.name = "tree view"
    $treeview.add_afterselect({write-host $this.selectednode})
    $treenode = new-object system.windows.forms.treenode
    $treenode.name = "tree node"
    $treenode.text = "tree node"
    $treenode2 = new-object system.windows.forms.treenode
    $treenode2.name = "second tree node"
    $treenode2.text = "second tree node"
    $treeview.nodes.addrange(@($treenode,$treenode2))
    $form.controls.add($treeview)
    $thread = [Management.Automation.Runspaces.RunspaceFactory]::CreateRunspace()
    $thread.Open()
    $thread.SessionStateProxy.SetVariable("form",$form)
    $thepipe = $thread.CreatePipeline({$form.Showdialog()})
    $thepipe.Input.Close()
    $thepipe.InvokeAsync()

The issue comes with the line $treeview.add_afterselect({write-host $this.selectednode}) When I click a node in the treeview the form will hang and I have to kill the Powershell process. The weird thing is I can display the TreeView object with no issue. Like this: $treeview.add_afterselect({write-host $this}). This will return the TreeView Object with no issues. I have also tried to use this instead $treeview.add_nodemouseclick({write-host $this.getnodeat($_.x,$_.y)}). This will also hang the form.
The problem comes from the form being displayed in another thread because when I do the same code but keep the form in the same thread I have no issues with displaying the selected node. like this:
    $form = new-object system.windows.forms.form
    $treeview = new-object system.windows.forms.treeview
    $treeview.name = "tree view"
    $treeview.add_afterselect({write-host $this.selectednode})
    $treenode = new-object system.windows.forms.treenode
    $treenode.name = "tree node"
    $treenode.text = "tree node"
    $treenode2 = new-object system.windows.forms.treenode
    $treenode2.name = "second tree node"
    $treenode2.text = "second tree node"
    $treeview.nodes.addrange(@($treenode,$treenode2))
    $form.controls.add($treeview)
    $form.Showdialog()

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

A: If you take a look at the TreeViewEventHandler method signature, you'll find that it takes two arguments, a sender and a TreeViewEventArgs object.
You can either "intercept" these by declaring your own named parameters, like so:
$treeview.add_AfterSelect({
    param($s,$e)

    # $e now refers to the TreeViewEventArgs
    Write-Host $e.Node
})

Or you can rely on the automatic event variables $Sender and $EventArgs:
$treeview.add_AfterSelect({
    Write-Host $EventArgs.Node
})

You may want to have a look at the help files for Register-ObjectEvent and about_Automatic_Variables

Don't use $this inside an event action - it's meant to be used as an instance reference in script method definitions, like so:
PS C:\> $obj = New-Object psobject -Property @{ Number = 3 }
PS C:\> $obj |Add-Member -Type ScriptMethod -Name GetSquare -Value { return $this.Number * $this.Number }
PS C:\> $obj.GetSquare()
9
PS C:\> $obj.Number = 4
PS C:\> $obj.GetSquare()
16

Hyderabad - Movie is set to release on february 10th 2017. Nagarjuna and anushka are playing lead roles in the movie. Raghvender rao who did annamayya and sri ramdasu with nagarjuna again directed him in this movie.


The great hall teemed with activity, conducted by the light of candle and torch. Great slabs of meat and bowls of fruit were constantly being brought in, and their remains taken out. Jesters plied their trade in the empty spaces between tables. The King's hospitality was legend, but it was mere prelude to what the guests knew was to come.
Soon the flames would be extinguished and the room would fall dark and silent, and from keyhole and crevice would emerge the pixies, the sprites, and the Will o' the Wisps, to perform their aerial dance: the evening's true entertainment.


The F3FC features exceptional performance with a 72mhz STM32F3 microcontroller and MPU-6000 connected over SPI. It has more connectivity than all other flight controllers except its sibling F4FC through the Polystack connector. Four PWM motor outputs are built into the board.
Stack up to seven Polystack mods (height permitting) to get all of the functionality you want now and in the future. No more buying a whole new flight controller just for a new feature. Add a microSD mod for blackbox or a microMinimOSD cradle for OSD. Polystack is open source to encourage a strong mod ecosystem.
The F3FC comes loaded with an early version of Betaflight 3.0. Its recommended to update to the latest Betaflight available from https://github.com/chickadee-tech/betaflight/releases.
This includes all of the hardware you need to build a ~30mm Polystack. This should work well for most quads with 30mm standoffs. If your quad features shorter standoffs you will want to double check the distance you have from below the bottom plate to the bottom of the top plate (unless the top plate has matching holes). If your bottom plate if very thick or the standoffs are taller than 30mm you may want to buy extra 35mm screws to allow you to stack higher.

How to create a marketing plan for your restaurant?
In order to run a successful restaurant, it will be crucial for you to create a detailed marketing plan. This will allow you to plan how you will attract customers into your restaurant. If you have a detailed marketing plan, you will be able to lure in a larger number of customers. Even if you have already opened your restaurant, it is never too late to introduce a marketing plan. Here is everything you need to know when creating a successful marketing plan.
As a restaurateur, you should ask the main stakeholders in your restaurant to discuss the objectives and values of your restaurant. This will allow you to produce ideas on how to promote your restaurant. In order to understand the buying behaviour of your customers, it is recommended for you to include a group of loyal customers in your discussion. This will enable you to identify the most effective method for your restaurant to attract customers into your restaurant. When you are brainstorming, you should identify the theme of your restaurant and identify the unique selling point of your restaurant. This will give you the opportunity to identify your target audience. During the brainstorm, you should discuss the areas of your restaurant which needs improving. This will enable you to ensure that all aspects of your restaurant are at a sufficient standard which will reduce the number of complaints you receive.
Have you run out of ideas? As a restaurateur, you may not know where to start when creating a marketing plan. It is recommended for you to search for the marketing strategies of other restaurants. This will show you how to lay out your marketing plan correctly. It will give you the opportunity to get ideas and will enable you to see which ideas are successful for local restaurants. This will give you the knowledge you need to create a successful marketing plan.
SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. This will enable you to identify the strengths of your restaurant which you should focus on promoting to your target audience. As a restaurateur, it is crucial that you identify your weaknesses as this will enable you to know what your restaurant has to improve on. This will give you the opportunity to provide your customers with a higher level of customer service. As a restaurateur, it is important that you always aim to expand your restaurant. SWOT will enable you to identify the opportunities for your restaurant. For example, if there is a university opening near your restaurant, you should offer promotions which target students. When you are running a restaurant, there will be many factors that may threaten your restaurant. If you identify the factors that may threaten your restaurant, you will be able to prepare your restaurant which will reduce the damage of the threats. For example, if you run a fast food restaurant, the introduction of a McDonald's in the local area may threaten the number of sales you receive.
The four P's stand for Price, Product, Promotion and Place. The element of price will enable you to identify the price which you should be charging for your meals. When you are setting a price for your products, you should consider the income of the local community. This is because if your target audience have a low income, they will not want to spend a lot on their meals. When you are setting a price for your products, you should consider the quality of your product as customers will seek for meals which have good value for money. However, you should ensure that you select a price which will generate a sufficient profit for your restaurant. The element of product will enable you to decide whether your meals will satisfy the needs of your customers and whether your products appeal to your target audience. For example, if your target audience are students, gourmet meals will not appeal to them. The element of promotion will give you the ability to create adverts which catch the attention of your target audience. For example, if your target audience are young people, you should use vibrant colours to catch their attention. If you cannot catch your target audience's attention, you will struggle to lure customers into your restaurant. The element of place will determine where your product is sold and how it is delivered to the customer. When your customers arrive at your restaurant, one of the first things they should see are your meals. This will lead to the customer wanting to try your meals which will encourage them to purchase your meals.
Once you have identified your ideas, goals and strategies, you should put them into a written report. It is recommended for you to include steps you will need to take in order to achieve your goals. It is important that you clearly state the steps you need to take as this will prevent anyone from misunderstanding the steps. The steps you will need to include in your marketing campaign's description are: date of campaign, campaign name, material which will be distributed, budget and objective of marketing campaign.
Retail store footfall still matter?
Role of DATA, how useful in epos for restaurant?


We finished picking all our Marquette grapes in the past four days, and the crop came in looking and tasting great. We also harvest our Petit Pearl for the first year, and we're excited to see how it turns out… in 12 months or so. It brings our running total of grapes harvested so far this year to 37,000 pounds precisely!
Nope, we're not excited about Marquette harvest. Not at all.
You only have to wait till winter 2017 to have this beautiful Marquette in your wine glass.

1. Luck like the Irish: How emigration can be good for the Western Balkans
Author: Alida Vračić
Content Type: Special Report
Institution: European Council On Foreign Relations
Abstract: Western Balkans governments have failed to tap the potential of their vast diaspora – six million strong – around the world. This diaspora possesses the networks, skills, and assets that Western Balkans countries need to develop and to prosper in an age of fierce economic competition. Ireland's experience sets the standard: today's "Global Irish" population is a networked diaspora that champions Irish interests throughout the world and has made critical contributions to Ireland's economic miracle. To follow in Irish footsteps, the Western Balkans urgently needs to gather data, including carrying out comprehensive labour force surveys, to understand the diaspora properly and learn how best to communicate with it. The EU must help. It should introduce circular migration programmes so that educated Western Balkans citizens in EU member states return to their home countries fully equippedto make an even greater contribution than they could have done before leaving

2. Strength In Numbers
Author: Wendy Cutler
Institution: Asia Society Policy Institute
Abstract: Tensions in U.S.-China economic and trade relations have steadily increased over the past year, leading to the imposition of tariffs and counter-tariffs impacting nearly USD $400 billion in two-way trade. At the time of writing, a negotiated solution has yet to materialize, but the two sides have continued to make progress, with a deal seemingly imminent. At the heart of the conflict are challenges posed by China's state-led economic model, including excessive and under-reported industrial subsidies and other financial assistance, operation of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), opaque regulatory measures that advantage domestic producers, forced technology transfer, and centrally directed strategic guidance

3. Grading China's Belt and Road
Author: Daniel M. Kliman
Institution: Center for a New American Security
Abstract: Since its launch in 2013, what China calls "One Belt, One Road" has emerged as the cornerstone of Beijing's economic statecraft. Under the umbrella of the Belt and Road, Beijing seeks to promote a more connected world brought together by a web of Chinese-funded physical and digital infrastructure. The infrastructure needs in Asia and beyond are significant, but the Belt and Road is more than just an economic initiative; it is a central tool for advancing China's geopolitical ambitions. Through the economic activities bundled under the Belt and Road, Beijing is pursuing a vision of the 21st century defined by great power spheres of influence, state-directed economic interactions, and creeping authoritarianism

4. Contested Spaces A Renewed Approach to Southeast Asia
Author: Patrick M. Cronin
Abstract: As the competition between the United States and China to shape the course of the 21st century intensifies, Southeast Asia has become a contested space. A region where geopolitical orientations remain fluid, Southeast Asia lies at the front line of Beijing's expanding diplomatic influence, economic leverage, and military capability. At stake is whether countries across the region can retain their economic sovereignty and freedom of decision, and whether governance in the region will broadly trend toward greater freedom and openness, or the opposite.
5. Negotiating With North Korea
Author: Patrick M. Cronin, Kristine Lee
Abstract: fter a year of historic summits and negotiations, North Korea's future remains mired in uncertainty. Kim Jong Un, in the lead-up his second summit with President Trump, has an opportunity to cast aside his country's pariah status and jump headlong into economic development, but the diplomatic window is narrowing. Protracted stalemate may be unavoidable, but over the course of the next year or two the negotiating process is likely to be binary and head in one of two directions: Either sufficient progress is made to justify continuing the recent rapprochement, or frustrations over the lack of progress will effectively terminate the United States' diplomatic opening with the Kim regime.

6. Understanding China's AI Strategy
Author: Gregory Allen
Abstract: n the second half of 2018, I traveled to China on four separate trips to attend major diplomatic, military, and private-sector conferences focusing on Artificial Intelligence (AI). During these trips, I participated in a series of meetings with high-ranking Chinese officials in China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, leaders of China's military AI research organizations, government think tank experts, and corporate executives at Chinese AI companies. From these discussions – as well as my ongoing work analyzing China's AI industry, policies, reports, and programs – I have arrived at a number of key judgments about Chinese leadership's views, strategies, and prospects for AI as it applies to China's economy and national security. Of course, China's leadership in this area is a large population with diversity in its views, and any effort to generalize is inherently presumptuous and essentially guaranteed to oversimplify. However, the distance is large between prevailing views in American commentary on China's AI efforts and what I have come to believe are the facts. I hope by stating my takeaways directly, this report will advance the assessment of this issue and be of benefit to the wider U.S. policymaking community.
7. Financial Networks of Mass Destruction
Author: Elizabeth Rosenberg, Neil Bhatiya
Abstract: The international community has long prioritized reducing the risk of weapons of mass destruction proliferation, whether from state actors such as North Korea and Iran, or from non-state actors, particularly criminals and transnational terrorist networks. Despite this concern, however, there remains a significant blind spot: the efforts to prevent the financing of WMD proliferation are only in their infancy. The legal framework to prevent the financing of proliferation is weak, and implementation across the world is spotty. These weaknesses derive from one overwhelming fact: The international community has not prioritized financial controls to fight proliferation. Very few countries have demonstrated the political will to put further emphasis on this threat to international peace and security.
8. Preparing for uncertainty
Author: Gregory Claeys

9. China and the world trade organisation: towards a better fit
Author: Petros C. Mavroidis
Abstract: China's participation in the WTO has been anything but smooth, as its self-proclaimed socialist market economy system has alienated its trading partners. The WTO needs to translate some of its implicit legal understanding into explicit treaty language, in order to retain its principles while accommodating China
10. Europe – the global centre for excellent research
Author: Michael Balternsperger
Abstract: This report, requested by the European Parliament's Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, analyses the EU's potential to be a global centre of excellence for research as a driver of its future growth in a complex global S&T landscape, and how EU public resources can contribute to this


The owner of a well-known property letting agents in Norwich told me once that they had a saying – 'the greedy man goes hungry'. There is not a lot of point in charging a high rent for a property if no-one is prepared to pay it.
That was then and this is now, and many landlords today are charging very high rents indeed. So much so that some tenants are paying over 1/2 or more of their salary to their landlord for rent. Particularly, in Landon, where rented property is in short supply.
How much longer this can go on is hard to say. There are calls for rent regulation law, but this has historically brought problems of its own, as those of us who remember the Rent Act will know.
I still think landlords should be wary about charging too much for their property rent. In my view, it's best to find good tenants and keep them long term with no voids. Even if they are paying less than the market rent, long term its easier and probably better financially too.
However advising on rent levels is best done by someone local who specialises in renting property. This is why, if you are a new landlord, getting a (good) local agency to help you let the property, even if you want to manage it yourself, is often a good idea. They will know what the correct rent levels are for your type of property, and will also be able to help you present the property so that it achieves the best price possible.
Rent is generally either paid monthly or weekly. Monthly is most common, mainly because most people are paid monthly, and can pay by standing order. Often this is specified in the tenancy agreement. However note that if the tenant proffers payment in some other way, you should not refuse to take it (and thereby artificially put the tenant into arrears).
One important consequence of the rental period is that this will affect the 'periodic' tenancy which will come into effect if the tenant stays on after the fixed term comes to an end. Generally, this will be either monthly or weekly. However, if your agreement provides for the rent to be paid in some other way if you are not careful, this may result in a quarterly or even annual periodic tenancy. This is less of a problem now though after the Spencer v. Taylor case simplified the law relating to section 21.
Note by the way that under the common law, rent is payable in arrears so if you want rent paid in advance (which you almost certainly will) this needs to be specifically stated in your tenancy agreement. All well-drafted tenancy agreements will do this – but there is no harm in checking! NB I wrote about this here.
If the rent is weekly, the other thing to remember is that by law you need to give the tenant a rent book, in the proper form. However, failure to provide this does not mean that the tenant does not have to pay (as failure to provide a section 48 notice does). It does, however, put you at risk of prosecution, so compliance is a good idea!
You can generally get rent books from large stationers or on the internet. Lawpack has a good one.
You will generally want to increase rent over time, to keep up with the level of inflation. Normally a rent increase is done by getting the tenant to sign a new tenancy agreement at the end of the fixed term or a (considerably shorter) renewal form. Letting agents generally insist on doing this and making a charge for it.
Strictly speaking, a 'renewal' is not actually necessary – as by law the tenancy will roll on anyway as a periodic under the same terms and conditions – section 5 of the Housing Act 1988. However, it is usually easier to do a rent increase by giving a renewal – because as the tenant has agreed to the new figure by signing the agreement, he cannot challenge it.
If you do not want to give a new tenancy or renewal form, you can also get the tenant to agree to the rent increase by signing and returning to you a copy of a letter sent regarding the rent increase. The fact that the tenant has signed and dated the letter will be proof that they have agreed to it.
Or, if the tenant is being evasive, a rent increase can be done via the statutory notice procedure. There is a prescribed form for this, and if the tenant fails to challenge the new rent during the months' notice period (by referring it to the First Tier Tribunal for review), the rent increase will take effect automatically.
Note by the way, that if your tenant is a protected tenant, there is a separate 'fair rent' system you need to use where the rent is set by Rent Officers.
Another, but less common way (in the private rented sector anyway) for a rent increase is by a rent review clause in your tenancy agreement. However, you need to be careful that the clause is fair and complies with the Unfair Terms rules (discussed in more detail later in this series).
The way to make a rent review clause fair is to make it referable to something external. For example the retail price index. Or you can specify what the new figure will actually be (ie say that the rent will increase to £X month after six months). This will be deemed fair as the tenant will have approved the actual amount by signing the agreement.
What will NOT be deemed fair is a clause saying, more or less, that the landlord can impose a rent increase for whatever amount he chooses.
However putting the new rent in the tenancy agreement does not always work, as the Court of Appeal decision in the case of Bankway Properties Ltd -v- Penfold-Dunsford and Another shows.
Here (in an assured tenancy agreement – where the section 21 ground for possession was not available) the draftsman put in a clause saying that the landlord had the option to increase the rent from £4,680 to £25,000. Needless to say, once the rent increase was implemented, the tenant fell into arrears and the landlord sued for possession.
The Court of Appeal held that in law the rent increase clause was invalid, as, they said, it was merely a device, masquerading as a provision for an increase in rent, to enable the landlord to bring the assured tenancy to an end when it chose and to obtain possession of the property.
So very large rent increases that the tenant is obviously not going to be able to afford are not recommended (and will be unsustainable if challenged).
If there is a procedure for increasing the rent set out in the tenancy agreement, this must be followed precisely. The importance of this is shown by another case, Riverside Housing Association v. White.
Riverside Housing Association had a rent review clause in their tenancy agreement that permitted them to increase the rent annually at a rent variation date in June of each year. However, they then decided to increase the rent from a date in April, as this matched their financial year. This was done for several years.
Later, in proceedings for possession, some tenants (Mr and Mrs White) defended on the basis that the increase was invalid because it had been done on the wrong day. The Court of Appeal upheld this, and it was only the House of Lords who found that the increase was valid. But only, their lordships stressed, on the particular facts of this case.
Meaning no doubt, that they did not want the housing association to be made insolvent (as the Whites were not the only tenants whose rent had been increased in this way) but that they would be less kind to other landlords.
So *always* be very careful to follow to the letter any requirements set out in the rent review clause. And when drafting rent review clauses for your tenancy agreement, make the procedure simple and easy to follow.
Note also my blog post about a High Court decision relating to using the s13 notice procedure to increase rent where there is a rent review clause in the tenancy agreement.
Nest time I will be looking at the term.
All Landlord Law tenancy agreements provide for landlords to be able to vary the standard rent payment instructions, and we also have a rent review clause you can use if you wish. There is also a Notice of Rent increase form and a renewal form.
A new tenancy agreement has great risks now that there are so many ways to get trapped with S21 and all the paperwork you must prove the tenant was served, along with re-protecting the deposit etc. It may also make any guarantor agreement invalid.
Can the statutory notice procedure be used if the tenancy agreement includes a rent review clause? And does doing so give a guarantor a valid reason not to pay up if the tenant does not do so?
I am not a fan of "annual rent review dates" in the contract as missing one means you may loose the right to it.
– Increase not to take effect less than 12 months from previous increase or start of tenancy.
– New rent to be no more than the increase in [published index] from the start of the tenancy.
(this avoids losses due to rounding, and using inflation rates for a date before the new rent date.
If you rent property - you need a tenancy agreement!
During 2017 I published a weekly series of tips on tenancy agreements.
You will find an index here, along with other tenancy agreement related resources.

If you are an NIH Federal Civilian Employee who is eligible to earn leave, you are eligible for the NIH Leave Bank! To become a member of the Leave Bank, you must submit a membership request during an annual open enrollment period or enroll as a new employee. Membership required a yearly contribution of one pay period's leave accrual- either 4, 6, or 8 hours, based on your current leave category.
The minimum contribution may be waived if you do not have adequate leave available or are a current recipient of the Voluntary Leave Transfer Program (VLTP) or Leave Bank. The waiver process will be automatically initiated.
As a new employee, you may enroll any time during your first 60 days of employment for the current leave year. Otherwise, you may enroll during the annual open enrollment period, which is held annually from mid-November to mid-December. Enrolling during the annual open enrollment period activates your membership for the following calendar year.
Once enrolled, you're automatically re-enrolled each year, unless you decide to opt-out during open enrollment.
Ready to get started? Enrolling is easy; just complete a few simple steps in Integrated Time and Attendance System (ITAS).
Membership in the Leave Bank requires a contribution equal to one pay period's annual leave accrual amount. A confirmation screen will appear. You must read the membership agreement and make a decision – you will have the option to select "Agree" or "Disagree." Selecting "Agree" will move the membership request forward to the NIH Leave Bank Office Case Manager.
As a Leave Bank Member, you will be automatically re-enrolled for from year-to-year until you "Opt Out" during the annual fall open enrollment period. In the event of a re-enrollment, the annual membership contribution will be automatically deducted from your annual leave balance unless you qualify for a waiver.
NOTE: Opting out stops automatic re-enrollment for the next Leave Bank membership period, not the current membership period.
If you are unsure if you have successfully opted-out, please contact the Leave Bank Office during Open Enrollment. Opt outs cannot be granted outside of open enrollment and once the Leave Bank membership contribution is deducted, it cannot be returned. An employee is responsible for knowing his/her current membership status.

Q: Transactions using r2dbc-postgresql I am trying to generate a code that performs 2 postgresql commands simultaneously, in one transaction.
I have in my DB 2 rules with different rule order, and I want to switch the rule order between them.
I am using r2dbc-postgresql (v0.8.4) and spring-data-r2dbc (v1.1.1).
I have defined DatabaseClient and TransactionalOperator and tried to use that piece of code:
public Mono<Void> insertRows() {
    return databaseClient.execute("update rules set rule_order = 2 where rule_order = 1")
            .fetch().rowsUpdated()
            .then(databaseClient.execute("update rules set rule_order = 1 where rule_order = 2")
                .fetch().rowsUpdated())
            .then()
            .as(transactionalOperator::transactional);
}

but the result was that the commands ran one after another, so I finished with having both rules with rule order = 1.
What am I doing wrong, and how can I fix this?

A: Not sure what you're expecting here.
The first statement updates the rules rows to rule_order=2(update rules set rule_order = 2 where rule_order = 1). The second one updates rules to rule_order=1 (update rules set rule_order = 1 where rule_order = 2).

I'm a sucker for the whole song-poem genre. For those unfamiliar, the concept was this: Write a song (or poem), then pay a company to take your composition, set it to music, back it with studio singers and a band and viola, you have a record! Check out the outstanding American Song-Poem Music Archives site.
Take for example Virginia Unrein of Montrose, and her ode to her nautical love, Sailor Joe.
Listen to a sample of "Strange Music"
No idea on when this was recorded, or who the studio singer is. Virginia's song appears to be part of an EP with three other folks who handed over a few hundred bucks to the prolific Halmark label.
Virginia left this world in 2013. Her obituary mentions that she "successfully wrote and published several of her own songs on CD."
