Insurers are taking a heightened interest in aviation assets as yields soften on the more traditional investment vehicles for insurers and pension funds that typically seek to buy and hold investment grade rated paper. Although the market has always attracted insurance investment – AIG and ILFC, Pacific Life and ACG – insurers and funds are seeking to invest in aviation assets from one off aircraft deals to broader securitisation products and the latest Emirates Islamic Sukuk attracted a great deal of insurance investors. But it is not about participating in deals sold to them, insurers, we are told, are approaching airlines directly to proactively discuss ways they can invest in their assets. For airlines with significant funding requirements, which are many as the delivery schedule heats up, this is an attractive source of additional liquidity. However most have strict investment criteria and many are limited to investing in investment grade credits or paper – that's what makes the EETC and ABS products so attractive right now. Insurance companies in China too are entering the aviation market since the country's rules were relaxed on areas they are permitted to invest in, which means they are seeking for higher yields that aviation products can provide.

Cherry pie filling: Canning it saves time later for cobblers and pies!
Cherry Pie is a snap if you can this ahead of time. Cherries are an acid food and can be safely water bath canned.
These directions are for either sweet cherries like bing cherries (this is what you see in the pictures) OR sour cherries that you traditionally use for pies.
Cherries - 6 quarts usually sour is preferred for pie filling, but I also use sweet cherries.
Back in the day it was considered acceptable to use flour for a thickener in pie fillings. Switch to clear jel!
It is not only safer, it will give you a nicer filling with more consistent results when you are canning.
Wash and pit cherries. This is the most challenging part. :0) But if you just sit down and DO IT, you can make some delicious dishes. Have a friend come over and visit while you pit.
PLus look at this cherry pitter. I've tried many cherry pitters with disappointment. This is the one I like and.... the best part is the workers in the house (my sons) approve too. They are the ones doing most of the pitting here.
Place cherries in boiling water and boil for 1 minute. Drain. Keep warm. I do this simply by covering the pot until I am ready to mix in sugar mixture.
Combine sugar and clear jel in a large pan. Add water and cook over medium heat stirring constantly.
When product begins to thicken and bubble, add the lemon juice and boil for 1 minute.
Add cherries, stirring gently to mix.
Fill hot jars with hot cherry pie filling leaving 1 inch head space. Wipe the rims clean, remove any air bubbles and place your lids.
For more packing details follow water bath canning instructions.
pints or quarts for 30 minutes.
Cherry Pie Filling Soon! Me, being silly with our brand new tree. The birds ate all of what we got that first year.
What else can you do with Cherries?


Think about it, The Richard D James album from Aphex Twin is 30 minutes long, and that is classed as a classic.
What are ur expectations for FFWF? I feel that it's either going to be a disaster or amazing. I hope that it's in the same vein as Diesel power and tdime dope dod and not get up, get off . (Mentioned these tracks cause they all feature rappers).
on the other... the bad tracks will be shorter, too.
Amazon updated track lenght too.
Horror have some great tracks and some that are unlistenable. Dont know what to expect. Im scared. But I would like a hip hop tune more than a punk track.
I'd prefer a hip hop track too.
It's most probably coming out on the 10th of October.
Search the prodigy digital on amazon uk, sort by date, it's separate from the album, click the song above ffwf and that's out the 11th, tune under ffwf is today's date, was the same with luts.
Interesting theory.....I like it, here's hoping you are right!!!
I think 11th. I started searching for "fire" and there were so many tunes that it was surrounded by 2 tunes that will get released on 11th.
Seems a bit quick, we didn't get any LUTS remixes yet.
Unless there will be a 4th single and then a remixes CD a bit further down the line, could be what these older remixes are for..
Also noticed that LUTS and NS1 are put together in the same release on Spotify.

RALLY » Matthias Walkner crowned Cross Country Rallies World Champion
by KTM | posted in: Blog, News | 0
The Red Bull KTM Rally Factory Racing Team on Friday celebrated a great conclusion to the season as Matthias Walkner was crowned the 2015 FIM Cross Country Rallies World Champion, while teammate Sam Sunderland celebrated the overall victory at the Morocco Rally.
The Austrian racer Matthias Walkner went into the final Rally with just two points separating him and team colleague Pablo Quintanilla for the world title. A solid final stage put Walkner in a strong position to take advantage of a small mistake by his teammate to clinch the title at the final race event of the year, which is utilized as essential preparation for the Dakar Rally in January with the KTM 450 RALLY bike. With this success Matthias Walkner achieved something that is rarely seen even in professional sports: After winning the MX3 Motocross World Championship title in 2012 on a KTM factory bike, he clinched his second title in another important offroad racing series.
Unfortunately a number of KTM riders were struck down with a stomach bug, including Aussie Toby Price, and were forced to miss stages of the event, although valuable information was gathered and Antoine Meo made his Rally debut, as he makes the switch from Enduro racing.
Sam Sunderland concludes the season with second place in the World Championship and former KTM factory teammate Coma was third; in July the at that time championship leader announced his immediate retirement.
Matthias Walkner: "Luckily everything went extremely well for me today. I was able to take the lead at the 40km mark and then I really went for those final two points and managed to have a small advantage. I had to wait 15 minutes at the refueling stop and when Pablo did not arrive, I knew I was going well. I tried not to make any mistakes and more or less rode comfortably to the finish."
Alex Doringer (KTM Rally Factory Racing Team Manager): "This was a great way to wrap up our season with Sam taking the victory in Morocco and above all, with Matthias wrapping up the world title in his first full year of competition with the team. Matthias did a fantastic job and improved dramatically in a very short time. We had our share of problems in Morocco, with a number of our team suffering stomach problems, but I think with these results we have more than proved that we are the best team in the world. As a team, manufacturer and company we can be very proud to now have an Austrian Rally World Champion."

A page dedicated to the many who have a story to tell about their relationship with the land at the Anabolic Garden.
"I am deeply thankful to have been able to take care of this land & thankful to be given freedom to develop a relationship with the land. I am a native resident of LA, born nearby at the LACounty from immigrant parents, immigrant family from the Philippines. Raised in the Los Angeles metropolis, my family has lived our entire lives renting a unit on a small apartment complex. Luckily with a small balcony we have only a small limited space available for my family to grow plants. Our landlady always threatens & complains for us not to be growing plants on the balcony as well.
I learned about the Anabolic garden because i work in the Chinatown community. I was amazed to hear about the Anabolic garden being an open space where I can volunteer & work with the land, especially native plants that have cultural, medicinal, and healthy food benefits. My family, my ancestors come from a long background of people that were farmers and loved and connected with planting and nature. So for my family's living situation in our apartment, i was happy finding the Anabolic land. And i'm happy that I have a place where i can exercise, learn, and practice taking care of flora & fauna that is not just for growing a bush of tomatoes &kale like a typical manicured garden- but fostering, caring, developing a relationship to native flora & fauna that is naturally what Los Angeles was made of. I also have been amazed and excited that because of helping tend to the land alongside other community members, there is a resurgence and growth of the endemic biodiversity of the area. I was in awe to have seen nano hummingbirds.
To this important space has given me access to connect with the land and my ancestors, that has improve my health, and help build community -I am extremely thankful for the opportunity to have work on this small parcel of land. I hope I and my community can continue to work and connect to this land.
There are so many thoughts and emotions that run through my mind and in my heart, when I think of what the land (the Anabolic Native Garden, in the Los Angeles State Historic Park) means to me. This Land has offered me freedom, sanctuary and a home away from home. This is the perfect place to get away from all the stress of a city within a city and connect with nature. I have built an everlasting relationship with this land. I have spent many hours with the flora and observing the fauna. Both day and night dedicating my heart and soul, to heal, nurture and help this incredible place flourish for the community to enjoy. This is a place where we can reconnect with our ancestral roots. Everyone is invited to come volunteer and remember the paths that humans and nature share. Humans and Plants/trees are a balance, a duality, which creates harmony and togetherness the things we should not neglect or take for granted. This land has helped me find my path in life, made me realize what my destiny is and what I must full fill with this gift of life. There is no better gift to yourself then feeding your soul with the presence of nature in your life.
The time comes in one's life, when one must make a choice. A choice to do what is better for the greater good of the self and of others. For we are all one, woven into this exquisite tapestry of existence we comprehend as life. Every human being unique, yet surprisingly similar. The experiences we share with each other on this planet are beautiful and undying. A very faint ripple in this water basin of lore we swim within. There is an old saying, "The teacher comes when the student is ready." The park and it's monuments, it's community, it's teachers, it's love has come to me in this most dire moment in my time. To illuminate and empower the path I know to be true to who I am. Given today's standards and trials, it can remain out of reach for many for years to come. Though, with the right attitude, perception and respect of oneself, it is then, that the uncanny ability we all possess to adapt and overcome truly radiates. I met my partner Yajaira almost a year ago. Since then my life has undergone sweeping changes for the better. I quit the old band I was in, found work in the field of teaching (which I have a natural affinity to), reconnected with myself and my family and discovered the Anabolic Native Garden in the Los Angeles State Historic Park. The experiences I have had while giving my time to the space have been nothing short of miraculous. The veil of deception and incertitude to my fellow human beings has been forever lifted. Peace, love and harmony have been given their first and just positions within my perspective. Working in the garden and getting to know the Earth with likeminded individuals has given us all a strong sense of community. I am jovial to be able to share this with my loved ones and with this, we have moved many others with our dedication to the land and it's healing as a whole.
A 2-acre parcel known as the Anabolic Monument in the Los Angeles State Historic Park might be redesigned even though rare and endangered native plants to Southern California have established deep roots unwilling to transplant, and even though the space is culturally activated by many communities with land-based cultural practices in and around downtown Los Angeles. These human practices also have deep roots not easily transplanted because they, too, are place-based and exist in a complex ecosystem of histories, herstories, healing arts, seasonal and elemental observances, life-cycles and teachings. These relationships take years to flourish.
The following is the process of growing a native garden whose soil health is established after many years of personalized maintenance without chemical additives; organic soil touched by the hands of many happy volunteers. Once rooted, it's very damaging to remove this collective biodiversity not just surviving but thriving in our contaminated city.
Since everything is medicine, we continue to honor her, again and again.
Thank you A 2-acre parcel known as the Anabolic Monument in the Los Angeles State Historic Park might be redesigned even though rare and endangered native plants to Southern California have established deep roots unwilling to transplant, and even though the space is culturally activated by many communities with land-based cultural practices in and around downtown Los Angeles.

Thank you white mountain sage.
and your medicinal bark tea.
the love Sophia has for you.
out of her heart and into the soil.
There is nothing inherently wrong with non-native plants growing, only that left unchecked they inhibit native biodiversity. If they are tended to, then some can be harvested for medicine and food and their removal disturbs the soil, allowing seeds for local habitat to recreate good health- on a microbal level, on an insect and plant level, and on an animal level, including humans.
Who gets to decide how space is used?
Who decides what it becomes?
Who controls people's ability to root themselves in a place? Their agency in a place?
Who's interests decide how people can participate in a space?
pseudo-authentic patterns and why, if the aesthetic is so popular, is it not reflected in community spaces?
Why, if there are Native Cafes, and native afgans can there not be 2 acres left to continue growing in its current state as a native LA garden and gathering place, ceremonial space?
Who's values insist on the removal of an established native garden and sacred place for many local communities in order to follow a design determined by landscape architects with no relationship nor practice in its management?
And why would those making these decisions avoid a public hearing and response to their non-public plans?
There are many incredible occurances we have observed about how the land has responded to our care. After the invasives were pulled out 8 years ago, rare native plants appeared without being planted; they voluntarily reseeded themselves for the first time on this soil in well over 200 years.
-Wildlife has returned to the middle of downtown Los Angeles: native pollinators, birds including chaparral scrub-dwellers and waterfowl, engandered local species are thriving like the Big Berry Manzanita, the soil can host mushrooms again.
-The Anabolic Monument, the circle in the middle of the native garden, is a teaching space for collectives who reconnect their communities to the land. They pass on knowledge of native plant maintenance throughout their networks, increasing the resiliency of the Los Angeles people against smog, food deserts, soil depletion and drought.
nestled in the fava beans I found the same voice my Bolivian ancestors sang with.
remain in our ancient or recent blood memory (DNA).
we respond well to intimacy with the animate nature of everything.
Would you believe that every major friendship I have in Los Angeles sprung from this place?
That the sensations of anxiety, loneliness, depression and self-effacement I experienced since childhood were all healed here? Would you believe that my friends experienced the same?
After we sang to a white sage she tripled in size in the span of a month.
I went to Ceanothus L.A. and brought along some friends in which we danced, heard beautiful stories shared by Sweet Water and, did I mention, dipped our feet in the mud pit. The vibe of the event was like an energetic wave that radiated and illuminated everyones face. And the abundance of joy shared, oh, that evening at Ceanothus L.A., left me feeling connected with mother earth and all its inhabitants. This event was truly magical!
the theme/design), I don't have time to read through it all at the moment but I have book-marked it and also added your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read a great deal more, Please do keep up the fantastic work.

A YEAR IN REVIEW: What have we accomplished this year and what's ahead for 2022?
Dear ISTMA Members
As 2021 draws to a close, I would like to share an update on our Institute's activities this past year and what we can look forward to in 2022. Despite the on-going restrictions due to the pandemic, we have been able to deliver many of the planned activities as well as react to new challenges as an Institute. Here are some of the highlights.
The Register of Trade Mark Agents
One of the aims of our Institute is to establish and maintain a Register of Trade Mark Agents in Singapore. The work relating to this is in progress and all current members who renew in 2022 will be included on the Register of Trade Mark Agents having met the eligibility criteria at the time of applying for membership. We will shortly introduce an ISTMA Code of Code for Registered Trade Mark Agents which will apply for all members listed as a Registered Trade Mark Agent.
ISTMA Updates
The ISTMA Secretariat regularly circulated new case authorities, IPOS Updates on case law, Practise Directions and Circulars. ISTMA Updates regularly include publicity and information for panel discussions and webinars hosted by our sister organisations such as WIPO, CITMA and the IP Academy as well as information on major events such as IP Week in August 2021 for which ISTMA is a proud sponsor.
Engagement with IPOS
In August 2021, we submitted a six-page paper on the Public Consultation IP Amendment Bill, addressing specific issues relating changes in trade mark examination procedure. Thank you to all members who participated in providing their feedback.
We hosted the first ISTMA-IPOS Online Dialogue on 29th October 2021 which was attended by a majority of our members. We can all agree it was nice to see so many of the examiners from IPOS in attendance and to have a fruitful interactive session. Some of the issues discussed included the examination of slogan trade marks, absolute ground objections, the reliance of foreign precedents, best practices for addressing specification objections and future plans to integrate AI into the trade mark examination process. Thank you to all members who put forward their questions and participated in the Dialogue.
It is ISTMA's objective that we use the Dialogue to create a friendly working understanding between trade mark agents and examiners and also as a platform where we can speak frankly about common problems. We hope to make the ISTMA-IPOS Dialogue a regular event.
We also plan to organise a similar Dialogue with the Hearing & Mediation Division of IPOS to discuss best practices in inter partes proceedings.
Webinars with WIPO & CITMA
We had a joint webinar with WIPO on 16th March 2021 on updates for Madrid Protocol filings and resolving disputes using WIPO services. This was our first ever webinar offered to ISTMA members. Mr. Peter Wilmott, Ms. Chiara Accornero and Ms. Aurea Plana provided some useful tips for navigating the Madrid Protocol system.
We also hosted a webinar for CITMA on the 13th of April 2021. It was a great opportunity to introduce ourselves to CITMA's Council, Ms. Tania Clark and Ms. Kate O'Rourke. Ms. Clark and Ms. O'Rourke provided their insights on Brexit and impact of Trade Marks in the EU & the UK through clear and succinct presentations on the trade mark law post-Brexit.
As with 2021, we plan to provide a rich programme of events for 2022. While our online meetings and webinars will continue, we are also extremely keen to see members in-person and I am sure you are keen to see each other once again.
We plan to continue working with IPOS, WIPO and CITMA on future content for webinars. If you have any specific topics you would find useful as a subject for a webinar, do let the ISTMA Secretariat know! We are open to suggestions!
National Liaisons & Partnerships
We are working on new publicity initiatives with the Ministry of Law and the Law Society of Singapore to enhance our recognition with these bodies.
We will also work on a plan to align our Institute with recent government initiatives such as the Singapore IP Strategy (SIPS) 2030 which is a national strategy that supports enterprises and the wider innovation community and IP Grow, an initiative by IPOS International to bring together IP-related service providers and innovators across ASEAN for information exchange, networking and collaboration opportunities.
International Liaisons & Partnerships
In January 2021, we wrote to IP associations in Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia to introduce our Institute. We also engaged with Marques in April 2021 to introduce ourselves with a view to jointly work with them on future collaborations for a webinar. We plan to continue this outreach programme and hope to have further meetings in the new year with other organisations we have approached.
We will shortly launch our 2022 membership renewal. A notice will be sent to each of you to advise you of the subscription fee for 2022 and invite you/your firm to pay.

Lycoming Nomenclature Made Easy!
July 2015 - Ever wonder where all the letters and numbers for Lycoming engines came from and what they all mean? I recently came across a June 1972 copy of EAAC Canadian Sport Aviation News, where an explanation of the numbers relating to an O-320 Lycoming engine appeared in an article edited from a Falco newsletter by a Mr. Al Constant.
The venerable O-320
It's all rather confusing, but stay with me.
'O' or 'IO'
All of these engines are basically the same with one exception - the H model. So to start, the first letter, "O," indicates a carbureted engine. If the letter "I" proceeds this first number, this indicates an injected-fuel system.
This represents the basic "cubic-inch" displacement of the engine, but read on.
'150' or '160' hp, A, -B, -C, or -D
Here it gets murky. It appears that the heads (or pistons) are machined to produce low-compression (150 hp) or high-compression (160 hp) versions.
Now there are many other variables. For instance, the crankcases are all cast in the same basic mold, but the lugs are machined differently for Type 1 or Type 2 Dynafocal mounts. Almost all carburetors and injectors are mounted in the bottom, and almost all injectors are mounted in the bottom. The exceptions being the carbureted O-320-D made for the Grumman American Cougar with the carburetor mounted on top. Also the Twin Comanche engines (IO-320-A, -B, and -C) also have the injectors mounted on top.
So these letters refer to various combinations of carburetor and injector locations and Type 1 or Type 2 Dynafocal- or conical-mount configurations.
O-320-A1, O-320-B1, and O-320-C1 or O-320-A2, O-301-B2, and O-320-C2
The numbers after the first letter determine whether the crankshaft is hollow (No. 1 for constant speed propellers) or solid (No. 2 for fixed-pitch propellers).
IO-320-A3, IO-320-B3, and IO-320-C3
The initial engines - IO-320-A1, IO-320-B1, and IO-320-C1 - were made for constant-speed propellers with 3/8-inch attachment bolts. These proved to be problematic, so the crank flanges were changed to 7/16-inch. They were named IO-320-A3, IO-320-B3, and IO-320-C3, making the original ones obsolete and are no longer being manufactured.
Finally, the letter following the central number determines the accessories installed. The usual variable is the magnetos: Bendix or Slick.
Sometimes the letter D is added as in O-320-H2AD. This indicates a Bendix dual magneto in a single-case driven by a single-drive.
The exception to all of the above is the "H" series engines, which proved to be problematic. Cessna installed them in some of its Skyhawks, creating a real nightmare for the company. Cessna soon dropped them, and many found their way into the amateur-built category with mixed success.
Learn more about Lycoming and its early history as a sewing machine company here.
Also, did you know that Lycoming made the engine for the Dusenberg J series?

I initially didn't reply to Sam's email - it goes against my ethical and moral compass to write BS articles on fad diets simply for monetary gain; it completely undermines my credibility as a nutritionist to provide you with accurate, honest and informing nutrition information; and it perpetuates what is currently so wrong with the health industry at the moment… but Sam was very persistent and emailed me 3 more times throughout the week!
Well Sam, your persistence has paid off. Here is my article. I've decided to take on 2 of your suggested topics and write on the 5 biggest Ketosis Myths as well as the Top 5 signs you are in Ketosis. But first, about about the Keto Diet.
The goal of the keto diet (short for ketogenic diet) is to get your body into a "ketogenic state," by cutting carbohydrates and eating a high protein, high fat diet. In a ketogenic state your body is not burning carbohydrates (it's preferred fuel source; because you've cut them) so must use an alternative energy source – Ketones.
Ketones are formed from fat stores and are produced by the liver when your body is depleted of carbohydrates stores (glucose and glycogen).
Historically, the Keto diet was used to treat seizures in individuals with epilepsy – not intended for use in the battle of the bulge amongst the general population.
Ultimately, the Keto Diet is not really that new -the idea of cutting carbs is pretty old hat.
Truth: It's not. Simply if you eat less energy than your body requires (e.g. by cutting carbs), then you will lose weight. On a Keto diet, once your body has depleted its' stores of glucose and glycogen (derived from carbohydrates in your diet), it will turn to fat or lean muscle for fuel. This 'switch to fat burning' is not a 'magical' effect of the Ketone diet as is often promoted, it is just a physiological necessity.
While weight loss in the short term may be dramatic on the Ketone diet (largely due to water weight associated with cutting carbs), long term the benefits aren't substantiated. The likelihood of sustaining the Keto diet is also limited which increases the risk of entering the yo-yo diet cycle.
Truth: It doesn't. And measuring your self-worth based on your waistline or how 'clean' your diet is, is an unhealthy habit that the media has a huge responsibility for. Keto or not, you are worthwhile.
Truth: It didn't. If you have made healthier changes in your life following the Keto diet, that's fantastic, however, the Keto diet is not a miracle treatment and should not be trumped for curing medical ailments and conditions (other than epileptic seizures when done so under strict medical supervision). In fact there are some conditions that could be dramatically worsened by Keto.
Truth: See the 'truth' RE myth 3. Your health and self-worth doesn't need validation – you are worthwhile. Save your sanity and everyone else's and enjoy whatever meal you are eating without letting the world know. Ask yourself, is it really #inspo or just perpetuating this cycle of validation and measuring your worth based on the latest diet trend?
1. Your breath stinks. Being in Ketosis means your body is breaking down Ketone bodies, which gives your breath a distinctive stink.
3. You feel fatigued. Interesting that this is a side effect of starvation, right?
4. You have headaches. … fortunately since your breath stinks and your hangry, people will most likely stay well away and let you have your peace and quiet.
5. Your constipated. While this one may not be experienced by all Keto followers, the odds significantly increase since a huge source of dietary fibre (i.e. grains) have been removed from the diet.
For the record, while I don't personally support the Keto Diet (grains are great and really important nutritionally, fad diets are a disaster for your metabolism and relationship with food), if following it has improved the quality of your diet (you are eating more fruit and vegetables and less processed food) – great! I just really don't appreciate Sam, who clearly does not genuinely care about your health or understand the health messages I promote, emailing me and offering me money to sell out.
It has been way too long since I have posted (sorry all, its just been crazy busy) so I thought I'd pop up just a quick one to update you all on the latest publication from the CSIRO which has some great insights into the eating habits on Aussies.
In May 2015, CSIRO launched the CSIRO Healthy Diet Score, an online survey freely available to all Australians, which assessed an individual's self-reported food intake against the Australian Dietary Guidelines.
Results from this survey, up until June 2016, have just been published and the findings are concerning. Of the 86,611 Australian adults that completed the survey, the average diet score was 59 out of a possible 100, with women scoring slightly higher than men (4 points). Older Australians also scored 3 – 6 points higher than younger generations.
On average, Australians reported consuming 2.7 serves of discretionary foods each day, which is beyond the average maximum recommendation of 0-2.5 serves per day. Alcohol, chocolate and confectionary, cakes and biscuits, and sugar sweetened beverages made up the top discretionary food choices.
Unsurprisingly, diet scores decreased as weight status increased, with normal weight Australians scoring over 61, compared to overweight who scored 58 and obese who scored 56. A sub-sample of 11,048 Australians further revealed that 1 in 3 adults avoid foods such as wheat/gluten (12.1%), meat (8.6%) or dairy (12%).
A few years ago I considered Jamie Oliver 'just another celebrity chef' but with his work on 'Jamie's School Dinners,' his 'Food Revolution,' his 'Ministry of food' and more recently his campaign to tax sugary-sweetened drink, he has really won me over (I'm sure he'll be glad) and shown that he is a true advocate and 'in it for the right reasons' – but I knew as soon as he brought up the issue of breastfeeding there was going to be an outcry; not because he is a man; not because he has never breastfed; but simply because the issue of breastfeeding is highly emotive from many women.
Obviously, this is not my intention and I know I am going to piss off a lot of women when I say this but – it's not about you.
Yes, I empathise with you that you were unable to feed your baby as you wished; No, I am not blaming you; No, I am not saying you are a bad mother or have doomed your child by providing them formula – you have provided them the best alternative to breastmilk you could, you have nourished them and loved them – but this does not change the fact that breastmilk and the act of breastfeeding is the best option for both mother and child; and by me (and I am sure many others) avoiding talking about this so as not to offend women who couldn't breastfeed is silencing an issue that needs far more attention.
Not talking about breastfeeding, is not going to change the past experiences of mothers but it most certainly will have an impact on the choices and support of future mothers who are about to enter into the unknown world of breastfeeding – yes it can be hard, but the more we talk about it in a positive light, the more we can reduce the fear, the more we remove the stigma around breastfeeding in public or shaming women for sharing breastfeeding pictures, the more support we are giving to mothers to help them to breastfeed in the future.
We know that support is one of the key factors in initiating, establishing and continuing breastfeeding.
We know that women who were breastfed themselves as babies, are more like to breastfeed their own children – with their mothers likely to play a key role in providing support.
We also know that women are more likely to breastfeed if they have the support of their partner – so maybe Jamie's message would be better received if he was advocating the importance of fathers in supporting breastfeeding.
I understand that many women feel that the support of midwives and child health nurses is inadequate and this is something that needs to be addressed – but we also know that women who attend playgroups and mothers groups with other breastfeeding mothers will continue to breastfeed for longer.
So my advice to women who are pregnant or are struggling to establish feeding with a new born is to seek support; talk to other breastfeeding mums; ask your child health nurse about mothers group and playgroups in your area, or look them up yourself (here), and find out when your local Breastfeeding Association meets (here).
And my request to women who were unable to breastfeed; please don't feel you are being picked on, bullied or shamed – you're not; but please help us support other women, who like you, want a positive breastfeeding experience.

You may (or may not) be aware that in 2012 the LNP gave local councils control over the fluoridation of the water in local regions and as a result around 800,000 Queenslander currently don't have access to fluoridated water!
This is a huge public health issue, particularly for children, as fluoridated water is the most effective and socially equitable way to prevent dental caries – which are unfortunately a major issue.
Please help me tell the Queensland State Government to resume control of water fluoridation and give all Queenslanders access to beneficial effects of fluoridated water by SIGNING THIS PETITION (and please share it far and wide).
Now I am not going to argue the in's and out's of water fluoridation as, quite frankly, I don't have the expertise (and more likely than not, neither do you); but those that do have the expertise in both public health and in oral health including the World Health Organisation, the Public Health Association of Australia, the Dietitians Association of Australia and the Australian Dental Association strongly support the fluoridation of water as an important initiative to prevent dental caries.
You can see (here) that tooth decay in Logan-Beaudesert children dropped 19 per cent in 3 years (since 2008) when fluoride was introduced to the water supply. Similarly in Canada an increase in tooth decay can be seen (here) in children in as little 2.5-3 years after the cessation of water fluoridation - this is particularly concerning since many regions in Queensland, including the Fraser Coast, Bundaberg, Cairns and Rockhampton amongst others, have now been without fluoride since 2013 (check if your region has fluoridated water here).
Now you may be thinking a few holes in your teeth isn't such a big deal, but poor oral health can significantly impact quality of life and there is increasing evidence of significant association with major chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and stroke as well as adverse pregnancy outcomes.
So please take just a minute, click this link and sign the petition to get State Government control of water fluoridation so that we can all have healthy teeth.
Learning to love leftovers will save you money and will help save the planet (by reducing waste).
Loving leftover is a great way to not only save time while still eating healthy, but also to save your hard earned dollars from ending up in the garbage.
Leftover dishes like curries, soups and pastas are great freezer fillers. By placing leftover into airtight containers and into the freezer you will always have healthy meals on hand and will save your grocery bill. If you start to get a stock pile of frozen meals, plan them into your weekly menu.
Leftover cooked meats are great to pop into salad, sandwich or for lunch the next day.
Don't throw out overripe bananas or last week's excess of apples – use them to make healthy muffins slices or bliss balls. These can be popped into the fridge for up to a week in the fridge or several months in the freezer. Alternatively you can slice, bag and freeze fruit to use in smoothies or baking another day.
If you get towards the end of the week and your fresh herbs are looking a little limp, you can place them in a freezer bag and save them for later use – just remember to label what's inside!
If you have leftover chickpeas, lentils or beans, be them canned or pre-soaked, these again can be placed in a container or zip lock bag and frozen for later use. Try to remove any excess liquid before freezing by patting them dry.
And since you'll be doing all this freezing and storing, save yourself some money and reuse glass jars rather than buying excess containers or freezer bags. (Glass can be frozen too – just be sure not to over fill).
Rolled Oats: The humble oat ticks all the health boxes, is really versatile, and is about as budget as you can get! Oats are a great example of the benefits of buying home brand products. There is often quite a few dollars difference between generic oats and the branded varieties, despite both products containing exactly the same thing. Remember that manufactures pay to have their products placed at your eye level of the supermarket shelves, so always check the top and bottom shelves for similar products, with a smaller price tag.
Popping Corn: a bag of basic popping corn is super cheap, it keeps without spoiling pretty much forever and makes a quick, healthy snack.
Learning to love lentils, chickpeas and beans will not only give your nutrition a boost but are a much cheaper source of protein than and meat. Keeping canned (no added salt) varieties of lentils, chickpeas and beans in the pantry can save a huge amount of time when preparing a healthy meal. Canned varieties are inexpensive while being convenient, but dried verities are even cheaper.
Canned or frozen fruits and vegetables: They are just as good as fresh and often far cheaper. Keeping canned or frozen fruits and vegetables on hand will help you get more fruit and veg into you day (just be sure to buy canned vegetables with no added salt and canned fruit in juice, not syrup) and, unlike fresh produce, won't go to waste if it doesn't get used during the week.
Buy in season: when buying fresh fruit and vegetables always buy what is in season as these will be the cheapest. The challenges aim to include heaps of seasonal produce each month to make this task a little easier for you.
UHT milk: Now I don't expect you to replace all the milk you drink or use in your cereal with UHT, but keeping a few cartons in the pantry to use in baking or cooking (creamy sauces or soups), is far more economical than using fresh milk.
Cheap cuts: cheaper cuts of meat are a key feature of this month's challenge. Opting for stewing meats (flank, chuck, blade) rather than premium cuts (rump, rib eye) will save you dollars as will trying out different types of meat; turkey mince and kangaroo mince are cheaper than beef or lamb.
Shop with a list and buy on special: knowing exactly what you need to buy before you go to the shops will help stop you from wasting money on things you don't need or already have, but being a little bit flexible to opt for things that are on special can also save you money too. For example if you need chicken breast, but thighs are on sale it makes sense to go for the special.
As parents our top priority for our children is health and happiness. As adults we tend to over analyse what it means to be healthy and happy but for children the answer is very simple - to keep a child healthy and happy simply keep them active!
So maybe it's not that simple, but keeping a child active can certainly go a long way when dealing with tantrums, managing behaviour and developing healthy, happy children.
What more reason could there be to be active? - How about happiness? Active kids are also happy kids!
The most significant role model in a child's life is their parents, so what better way to encourage your child to be active, than to get out and be active with them. Not only will this help you achieve your 30 minutes of physical activity and role-model healthy behaviours, but it is also a great way to spend quality time together and build positive relationships.
So turn off the TV, turn on some music, get active and get happy!

Millennium 7 Publishing Co.: Who Dominates Social Media In 2018?
Who Dominates Social Media In 2018?
4 Industries That Will Dominate Social Media in 2018..
All it takes is the right mix of attention, commitment and effort..
Once seen as purely a tool for entertainment, social media has become an indispensable marketing tool for many industries over the past few years, rivaled only by word of mouth.
According to a first-quarter-2017 report by 4C Insights, overall social media spend was up 60 percent compared with a similar period the previous year. CMO Survey predicted a 17 percent annual compound growth rate from 2016 through 2021 for social media spend. It estimates that the social media advertising investment will represent 25 percent of total online spend in 2018.
Yet, there are some who are not convinced that social media can generate revenue. Clearly, the success hasn't been uniform across all industries—some are raking in billions of dollars, while some are barely active. But based on the recent trends, we're likely to see more social media activity from some traditionally inactive industries.
Much like social media, the hospitality industry is a dynamic sector characterized by constant shifts and evolution. Its adoption of technology over the past couple of years has only added to the rapid change.
When it comes to social media, however, the industry's usage is still in its infancy. We're just now seeing prominent brands starting to utilize it to their advantage as they integrate marketing with services, such as bookings, into social media channels.
As chefs encourage their customers to post photos of their food on social media and reviews continue to influence buying decisions, mobile pay transactions are taking center stage in the industry. Reports show that 43 percent of restaurants will be adopting mobile pay by the end of the year. The mobile pay industry is expected to hit the trillion-dollar mark in a few years, meaning that hospitality will have no choice but to be part of it.
In order to quickly adapt to such changes and ensure their effective implementation, the industry needs to first catch up with the new ways of communication—social media being the dominant one.
As they try to learn about the behaviors and expectations of their tech-savvy customers, these companies will rely on social media.
Although most of the business-to-business world has been embracing social media, manufacturing has been lagging. This has been mostly due to the accepted assumption that the average customer doesn't spend enough time on social media. But that's in the past, and manufacturers have realized it.

Whether it's educating customers, boosting brand awareness, enhancing B2B relationships or sourcing customer feedback, manufacturers can benefit from social media in many aspects of their businesses.
Emphasizing the importance of making use of social media, Michael Del Gigante, president of MDG Advertising, says, "Manufacturers have been slow to integrate social media into their marketing strategies, but it's an essential tool for content promotion and lead generation.
You can't talk about compliance issues hindering the adoption of social media without mentioning pharma.
How's pharma navigating the big world of social media? Lux Narayan, co-founder and CEO of Unmetric, tells Forbes of the "four-silo" approach pharmaceutical companies have taken to ensure that they reap the most from social media.
--Corporate social profiles that typically talk about the company history, overview, and staff.
--Over-the-counter branded pages, discussing products.

As patients get used to going online to find treatment recommendations, emotional support and general engagement with their peers, the industry will need to gear up its efforts on social media to stay connected to its consumers.
The finance industry is heavily regulated. The compliance issues alone have been enough to make would-be social media users in the industry think twice about testing the platform for marketing.
Another important currency in finance is trust.
When money-in-motion events such as job change, retirement or graduation occur, customers look for trustworthy financial advisors. To build this trust and ensure that they remain on the minds of their customers, financial institutions will have to turn to social media.
To reach its audience, which now includes avocado-toast-consuming millennials, the finance sector will need to get on with the times and start using social media.
Industries such as tech, fashion, real estate, retail and marketing have shown that all it takes to see success with social media is the right mix of attention, commitment and effort—and, yes, a budget, too.

Welcome back to the Rubenstein Library Test Kitchen! Every Friday between now and Thanksgiving, we'll be sharing a recipe from our collections that one of our staff members has found, prepared, and tasted. We're excited to bring these recipes out of their archival boxes and into our kitchens (metaphorically, of course!), and we hope you'll find some historical inspiration for your own Thanksgiving.
With the warm North Carolina temperatures hanging on for dear life, now seems like the perfect time for a summer throw-back recipe, to take us back to moments hanging out by the pool and lingering over sweet, crisp ice cream. And what could better conjure up those images than a dairy free, nut based ice cream from Mrs. Almeda Lambert's A Guide for Nut Cookery; together with a brief history of nuts and their food values?
I didn't intend to make a dairy free recipe. When searching through our catalog, I hoped to find a rich, creamy dessert, preferably one containing my two favorite foodstuffs: heavy cream and sugar. While I did find lots of those, Almeda Lambert and her 1899 work ultimately piqued my interest. And once I noted the brevity of "Ice-Cream No. 3," I knew there was no other recipe for me.
"It is the object of the author [Almeda Lambert] to place before the public a book treating upon the use of nuts as shortening, seasoning, etc., to be used in every way in which milk, cream, butter or lard can be used, and fully take their place." (p. 6).
Within her work, Mrs. Lambert tested out recipes for mock fish, for the exotically named meat substitute "nutmeato," and for custards, pies, drinks, and many other imaginative takes on traditional recipes. And while I'm not sure that her recipes have taken the world by storm since 1899, I hope that the proliferation of nut butters, flours, and oils out there would be a balm to her soul.
Luckily for me, "Ice-Cream No. 3" only calls for six, very common ingredients: nut butter, water, sugar, vanilla extract, egg, and corn starch. While there are recipes for nut butter in A Guide for Nutcookery, I was not bold enough to make my own and instead bought natural peanut butter from my local store.
As noted in Aaron's and Patrick's blog posts, historical recipes don't tend to provide a lot of context, and "Ice-Cream No. 3" stays true to that established form. After assembling all the ingredients and reading the directions, I was still a little confused but decided to go with my gut instinct. This was pretty easy to do when there were only six ingredients involved.
To create the nut cream, I boiled until the nut butter and water reached a thick, seemingly ice cream like consistency. A small snafu with the eggs and sugar ensued (I forgot to pre-mix them), but vigorous whisking saved the day and the ice cream. Vanilla extract and cornstarch were then added, and my cream(y) concoction was ready to go into the freezer. All told, the entire recipe came together in twenty minutes. Now, that's my kind of cooking.
Only after I put the cream in the freezer did I begin to wonder about how the ice cream would taste. Some in my household speculated that it would freeze into a giant ice cube, and that it would only be edible after melting. My fervent hope was that the egg would lend the ice cream a custard-y texture, so that I would never have to buy custard again.
Sadly, my dream proved elusive. In texture and in taste, "Ice-Cream No. 3" bore a strong resemblance to an Italian ice. My spoon did not glide through the ice cream; rather, I chiseled away at the block, making small inroads until a suitable amount had accumulated. It was the best workout I'd had in quite a while, and by the end, I felt like I had really earned my dessert.
Verdict: Although not quite ice cream by today's creamy standards, "Ice-Cream No. 3" is a deliciously easy variation. The peanut butter taste runs strong and true, and it tasted exactly what you would imagine something combining peanut butter, sugar, and water to taste like: wonderfully.
Does the thought of a Nineteenth Century vegetarian cookbook pique your interest? Good news, readers! Almeda Lambert's A Guide for Nutcookery also lives on the Internet Archive. You too can try out any number of ice creams or even dare to be bold and make nutmeato sandwiches!

You should try the recipe again using an ice-cream churner. The fat in an ice-cream base (usually comes from eggs and cream, in this case from eggs and peanuts) helps keep the water from freezing into a solid block (the fat inhibits the formation of ice crystals causing the mixture to form smaller crystals that we perceive as smooth rather than hard and chunky), but the fat alone isn't enough to get a creamy texture. The mechanical action of a churner will further inhibit the growth of large ice crystals while mixing air into the finished product (air gets trapped as the base freezes and thickens) making the end result less dense/more creamy. Since a custard base will do exactly what your nut-base did if you just put into the freezer, there's a good chance your nut-base will work like ice cream if you churn it. If you want to further inhibit the ice crystals while upping the flavor, you could also add one or two tablespoons of liquor (vodka if you don't want to add flavor, but a dark rum would probably be good here).
Excellent suggestions! We'll try them when we prepare the recipe for our taste-testing event (12/3)!

It's bad for Brown, Lobos when opponents aren't in a foul mood
By Geoff Grammer / Journal Staff Writer

Updated: Wednesday, February 22nd, 2017 at 11:37pm
UNM's Elijah Brown (4), passing over Colorado State's J.D. Paige on Tuesday, failed to get to the free throw line for the first game in his Lobo career. The Lobos fell 68-56 to the Rams. (Greg Sorber/Albuquerque Journal)
The 3s are nice.
And the floaters in the lane serve their purpose.
But there is one spot on the court, more than any other, where Elijah Brown has cemented his legacy as one of the better scoring guards in University of New Mexico basketball lore: the free throw line.
And it was that typically familiar spot — the one from where the 6-foot-4 junior has scored 453 points in his 60 games in a Lobo uniform — Brown never visited Tuesday night. Colorado State saw to that during its 68-56 victory.
He went 8-for-18 from the field and scored 20 points, but or the first game in Brown's UNM career, he didn't attempt a free throw. And that came three days after Fresno State held Brown, who still leads the Mountain West in fouls drawn per 40 minutes (6.7), to just 2-of-3 at the free throw line. He was 13-of-14 at the line in last week's home win over then first-place Boise State.
After the Fresno State loss, Bulldogs head coach Rodney Terry essentially acknowledged the defensive book on the Lobos since senior power forward Tim Williams has been injured is to tone down the contact on Brown, live with whatever points he may get from deep jumpers, but by no means let him get into a shooting rhythm by putting him at the foul line.
And, as long as other Lobos aren't picking up the scoring slack, opposing teams like their chances against New Mexico.
"When they try to take Elijah out of it and don't guard some of your guys, that's difficult," Lobos head coach Craig Neal said Tuesday.
UNM's 12 free throw attempts Tuesday night tied for the second lowest in the Neal era, and the seven made free throws were the third fewest.
In an offensive scheme not only geared at drawing fouls — UNM now ranks third out of 351 Division I teams in free throw rate — but specifically molded in the past two seasons to take advantage of Brown's skill at drawing them, the recent trend of not getting their usual benefit of the friendly whistle is troubling. The Lobos are trying to tread water in the league standings until Williams returns from injury.
UNM (16-12, 9-7 Mountain West) is in a tie with Fresno State (17-11, 9-7 MWC) for the fourth and fifth place spot in the league standings with two games to play. San Diego State (16-11, 8-7 MWC), who UNM hosts March 4 in the regular season finale, is in sixth place.
The top five teams start the league tournament in the quarterfinal round on March 9 in Las Vegas, Nev. Seeds six through 11 play an extra-round game, unofficially referred to as the "play-in" round, on March 8 and would require winning four games in four days to win the tournament.
Williams will have the stress reaction in his left foot examined and X-rayed again Monday. If all goes well, he'll be allowed to remove his walking boot and rejoin the team for next week's regular-season finale and the MWC tournament.
If he doesn't, the pressure to score seems likely to remain square on the shoulders of Brown and his ability to get to the free throw line.
"There's a lot of pressure for Elijah Brown," Neal said. "People are guarding him, they're trying to take him away. They're trying to take things away that we've done for him. Some other guys have got to step up."
DANE ON D: As odd as it sounds, CSU's Gian Clavell didn't get going Tuesday night until he was facing some of the best defense he's faced this league season by Lobo sophomore Dane Kuiper.
Clavell started the game missing his first four shots — all relatively open looks. Then came Kuiper, who had a hand in Clavell's face for the rest of the game with tight defense, only to see the shots start to drop for the Colorado State senior.
"He's a tough guy," Clavell said of Kuiper "I like him."
The effort was noticed by Neal as well. "I thought Dane was terrific tonight," Neal said. "… Dane's capable of doing that."
TAKE THE PIT AWAY: CSU head coach Larry Eustachy thoroughly enjoyed his first Pit win Tuesday, and only the sixth by Colorado State in 50 games there. Eustachy felt a key was that his team made the game so un-Pit-like.
"We never let them — the crowd being 'them' — get in the game," Eustachy told the Fort Collins Coloradoan.
"A couple times they took the lead, but we quickly got it back. So, we really took the Pit out of the game, and that's the key, because you saw how loud it got the couple times they did take the lead. It made it an easier environment to play in."

After 3 completed tours of waves, racing and freestyle, the sail constructors championships finished in a tie. North and NeilPryde both finished with exactly the same points and with no rule in the book to separate them they decided to share the prize.
This means North continue their unbeaten run in the sail constructors league, with wins in 2005, 2006, 2007 and now 2008. A pretty impressive list of results even if the last is shared.
In the board league it was not such a close affair. Starboard took the victory, holding every podium position in the mens racing. However credot has to go to Fanatic, who took a well deserved 2nd place, dominating in the wave/freestyle arena.
Well done to all the brands that have support the riders and got their rewards.

How France tamed Google
Matt Burgess
France has hit Google with fines totalling €720 million this year. The money is meaningless – but the changes could be profound
Harry Winfield
On June 7, Isabelle de Silva, a little-known French regulator, made global headlines. After a painstaking investigation, which de Silva describes as the most complex she has been involved in, the French Competition Agency, or FCA, hit Google with a €220 million (£187m) fine. Google, de Silva ruled, had been using its already dominant advertising technology to further strengthen its position and outbid rivals.
But de Silva wasn't finished. A month later, in a separate case, she fined Google again. This time Google had failed to negotiate copyright changes to its search results with media organisations. Google's punishment? A €500m fine.
Such sums are smallfry to Google and its parent company Alphabet, which made $61.9 billion (£44bn) in the last quarter alone. But the FCA's ruling on Google's ad tech was headline-grabbing for another reason: Google didn't fight it. The company agreed with all the facts in the FCA's case and also agreed to make significant changes to how it operates. And these changes won't just happen in France, but across the world.
In a single judgement, the regulator, known as the Autorité de la concurrence in French, managed to reshape how Google's advertising technology works. The FCA's ruling revolves around technologies within Google's Ad Manager – a platform that helps companies buy and sell the adverts that are shown on billions of web pages. The FCA took particular issue with two elements of the Ad Manager system: the DoubleClick For Publishers ad server and a sales platform known as SSP AdX. The first allows the owners of websites to sell the adverts sitting around the content they publish, while the latter is involved in controlling the complex split-second auction process.
"Google ensured that the ad server favoured the platform for selling advertising space," de Silva says. In addition, she explains, Google was using its knowledge about what happened on other ad platforms to its advantage by making its own pricing lower. "We were able to show in detail that not only did Google have information that the others did not have, because of its specific [dominant] position, but that they effectively used this information to have a better chance to win the bids," de Silva says.
In short, Google used its power to give itself an advantage. Under competition laws in Europe, companies that have a dominant market position aren't allowed to abuse their position. Tech giants are allowed to be big, but they shouldn't use this power to make themselves stronger at the expense of rivals. Publishers of websites selling their advertising space lost out because of Google's behaviour, the FCA ruled. And Google's rivals in the advertising technology space also suffered because of Google's actions.
Unlike three European Commission competition investigations, which fined Google more than €8.2bn, the company isn't challenging the FCA's ruling in court. In fact, Google didn't dispute the FCA's findings and proposed changes to its advertising technology itself. (It has made some changes in the European Commission's three cases but is also challenging them legally.)
"It is the first decision ever in which the tech giants, and Google in particular, undertake such remedies to settle a case," says Fayrouze Masmi-Dazi, a partner in competition law at French firm Frieh Associés, who was not involved in the Google case. "This is a very important decision. I think this shows that the French competition authority is both a very pragmatic authority and also creative in terms of solutions that can be found to address the issues that are identified."
"The decision is completely transparent," says Antoine Riquier, a commercial litigator for legal firm Hausfeld. The 101-page FCA ruling is littered with diagrams explaining how advertising technology bidding and servers work. "You have a lot of details, but it's not too technical at the same time. There is a lot of work involved from the French competition authority on this."
De Silva says she believes Google decided to settle the case and propose changes to its systems as the case against it was "particularly strong". She adds that fighting the case in court could also have negatively impacted the company's reputation.
The ad tech changes could have a large impact on Google. At the same time as the FCA announced its advertising technology decision, Google France legal director Maria Gomri published a blog post explaining how the company would change Ad Manager in response. The company says it is improving access to data for its competitors, making Ad Manager more flexible and "reaffirming our promise" not to use data in ways that its rivals can't reproduce.
"While we believe we offer valuable services and compete on the merits, we are committed to working proactively with regulators everywhere to make improvements to our products," Gomri wrote. "We're committed to working collaboratively with regulators and investing in new products and technologies that give publishers more choice and better results when using our platforms." All the changes are expected to be completed by 2022.
"We know that it's going to be a rather complex process for Google," says de Silva. "This is the process that they applied day-to-day in billions of interactions with publishers and those who want to make ads appear on websites." Google engineers have told de Silva that it will take them many months to make such wholesale changes.
Paul Bannister, co-founder of ad management firm CafeMedia, says it is not yet clear what some of the agreed changes will mean but they could be "quite major" – especially if they are applied internationally. He says that more data being made available around minimum bids – the lowest price paid to win an ad slot – could make for a "more competitive environment". Moving some parts of the process outside of Google's AdX platform, Bannister adds, could also give publishers more choice.
Competition lawyers say the French regulator is setting itself out against others by not only completing cases quickly but also using interim powers, which allow it to make decisions while its investigations continue. "What you're seeing is the French winning the international Olympiad of competition authorities enforcing the law," says Timothy Cowen, the chair of antitrust practice at Preiskel & Co, a London-based law firm. The numbers back up that assertion. Since December 2019 the FCA has issued Apple with a €1.2bn fine, and Google with three fines that add up to around €1bn. "Over the past two years we have really defined the digital economy as a priority for action," de Silva says.
And a big part of that is the FCA unpicking Google's dominance with technologists rather than lawyers. "They have highly qualified people onboard – people that are not lawyers, nor economists, but tech people able to understand Google's algorithms," says Riquier, who was also not involved in the Google case but is working on other related cases. He highlights that the FCA first published a report into the online advertising sector in March 2018, way before some other national competition regulators.
The action from the FCA, which was originally brought by news publishers, comes as French politicians are demanding more be done to control Big Tech. President Emmanuel Macron has criticised Google for not wanting to pay news publishers for using their content. "Certain firms like Google want to get around [the new law]," Macron said in 2019. France is the first country in Europe to apply a new copyright law, which essentially says tech companies must pay publishers when they use extracts in search results or other services. As a result, Google has now agreed a deal with French publishers about how it will pay. The FCA wasn't satisfied with the process – its July 2021 fine was issued because it is claimed the tech giant did not negotiate in "good faith" with news publishers. Google is considering challenging the fine.
Fining Big Tech, while also asking it to make changes internationally, is likely to become a popular regulatory tactic. Mathias Moulin, director of rights protection and sanctions at French data protection regulator Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés says that, ultimately, actions speak louder than fines. "It's not easy to obtain global changes," he says, adding the data protection regulator has made five decisions against Google since 2012. "It will have an effect on the other Big Tech company, because they understand that they can be the next."
As to why Google agreed to make such wholesale changes globally? Cowen says it likely comes down to the company pragmatically complying with the strongest enforcement of competition laws – or risk facing different challenges elsewhere. It's believed that one legal case in New York covered similar grounds to the FCA's ad tech case. "It's not French competition law, it's just competition law," Cowen says.
Slowly but surely, and after years of inaction, regulators are finally finding their stride. In the UK, the Competition and Markets Authority recently struck a deal with Google around its controversial Privacy Sandbox cookie replacement technology, called FLoC. The two organisations agreed the changes should not go ahead without further commitments from Google. Weeks later Google postponed the changes and announced a detailed timeline for changes to be implemented – showing early regulatory intervention can make a difference.
"Given the worldwide reach of the platforms we have, we are already seeing a need for increased cooperation between competition agencies," de Silva says. Politicians across Europe are currently negotiating a new Digital Markets Act that will place new controls on web giants. But while this happens the FCA has another ad tech case, this time against Facebook, that may be solved with commitments, de Silva says. "The French Competition Agency is very open to having this type of solution," she explains. "We do not want to accept second rate commitments which would not deal with the problem. But when the company is ready to play the game, it can be a very good solution."
