Edit: Who is your favorite wrestler and have you ever met him? (to please Hawks' nitpickiness)
If so, where? And how did it go?
As for me, 17 years after I watched my first match of his (against Mr. Perfect at SummerSlam 1991) I finally met Bret "The Hitman" Hart last night in my hometown. It was a brief encounter with the Excellence of Execution because he was in a hurry to a wrestling awards ceremony, but I shook his hand, got a picture, and exchanged plesantries. It was just so surreal. I couldn't believe it happened. I guess you could say I was in a state of shock. My only regret is not being able to make some small talk with him as well his book not being out in the U.S. yet (I would've loved to have gotten it signed by him), but other than that, definitely one of the best moments in my life as a wrestling fan.
Edit #2: Thanks for answering my questions, Hawk.

If anyone considers a pro wrestler their hero, that's just sad. A better choice of a thread is "who is your favorite wrestling performer and have you met him?".

My fave was Owen Hart and I never got to meet him.
I did meet my 2nd fave though. Oddly enough, it's Bret Hart and it's pretty much the same story as the first post (handshake, picture, etc.) except his book did come out in Canada so I was able to get him to sign it.
Oh...and I met Chris Hero. Choke on that, mellowblissful

Mick Foley. No.
Though I have met Chris Hero... but that was like six years ago and nobody knew who he was back then.
I never go to any shows. I should. But I don't. Haven't been to one in over two years.

I met Mick Foley under funny circumstances when I was 15. He wasn't my hero but he was one of my favorites. My dad and I were driving home from a SmackDown at Madison Square Garden, my first live wrestling show. This was during Foley's original run as commissioner. I believe it was the SD before the 6-man hell in a cell event. Anyway, we are stopped at a red light a few blocks from the Garden, when Foley pulls up in the lane to the right of us, waving at me like a crazy guy. We rolled down our windows and he asked us for directions. My dad did all the talking, because I guess you could say I was in awe of the guy, in combination of shock. He followed us until we got off at the George Washington Bridge back to NJ, and he continued on toward Long Island. He was wearing the same outfit as he did at the taping - a t-shirt and the trademark tattered flannel. He was also driving the same Volvo that he drove to the arena in on TV.

And no. But I would like to. But I'd rather meet him under an interview type situation just so we could bullshit about the buisness.

Mick Foley, and no. Though apparently my nephew did when my folks took him and my oldest niece to NH for a weekend, a camping trip I was meant to go on but didn't due to my schedule at my then-places of employment (a pizza shop I worked Friday and Saturday nights, and the local Bob's Store). Sucks, because I would've been all "GUFFAW" and would have at least thanked him for proving that even goofy bastards like us could actually make something of themselves doing something they loved.
at Madison Square Garden,
he asked us for directions.
he continued on toward Long Island.
And here's the dark side of being Mick. He was driving from the Garden, the building where he'd first started going to see wrestling decades ago, and had worked at countless times, driving back to Long Island where he'd been born and raised, and he needed directions to remember how to get there. This is your brain on chairshots.
I always thought it was a little bit off.

This is so funny because back in 2001 I was sitting in the passenger seat of my then girlfriends car driving to Brooklyn on the belt parkway. All of a sudden this beat up BMW pulls up next to us in the center lane, and Mick Foley is driving. I happen to have Foley is Good with me so I roll down the window and get his attention. He then rolls down HIS window and asks me to enjoy the book and gave me his thumbs up.

Back in the spring of 1999 I met Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko at a hotel bar they were staying at after a WCW Saturday Night taping. Benoit was my favorite wrestler and I was so glad to have met him. He was joking with Dean and Charles Robinson while I got his autograph.
Now I can't believe that I got to meet and shake hands with a double murderer.

You gamble with the devil...
I never met the Bulldog, but I've met Regal a few times. He was hilarious at an autograph signing I went to, we were both cracking each other up.
I also met Benoit, back in 2001. I went up to him and held up the 4 fingers and told him I was 4 Horsemen for life. He went: Yeaaa that's the way to be. He then shook my hand, and I wished him luck in his title match at King of the Ring.
Then he killed his son with his finishing move. That was unfortunate.
^^^ Maria, you're so silly! ^^^
He walked by me during 2002's WWF Axcess. This was during his injury rehab period, he actually is shorter than you think. But he was built though for a guy his size.

I've had different favorites throughout my time as a fan.
When I was little I loved JYD. Never met him.
ThenI loved Warrior. Never met him.
Then it was Steve Austin. Never met him.
Then it was RVD. Never met him.
Then it was AJ Styles...who I did meet at a TNA fan fest.
I don't know who my favorite wrestler is now. Probably some short list of Styles, Sabin and Shelley and Christian. I would have met all of them at that fanfest.

I met Mick Foley at a autograph signing he did at the Arlington Convention Center during a sports card show back in like 2000. I had arrived late and he had just gone back to the back to get some food, and they had to call him back out because there was about a dozen people that had came late and had preordered autograph tickets. I was nearly speechless when I got up to the front of the line and could only muster a "Thanks for all you've done."

Lotsa Foley stories. Mines no different really. Got to meet him at a signing at a Western Amusement Park here in Hell (Phx). This was October of 2000, when he had his head shaved/short hair. Got to shake his hand, get his autograph and a picture. I told him how much I appreciated all he's done for the business, to which he responded "Well thank you very much young man" (I was 18). Great times.

BAH GAWD! BAH GAWD! THATS A HAWS!
My favorite wrestler is probably RVD. Never met him, though I did see him and his "driver", pull out of the Bi-Lo Center parking lot in Greenville, SC back in 2004. He heard some kids yell his name, and had his driver stop, and block traffic so he could sign some stuff for the kids. Awesome guy.
Stevie Ray of Harlem Heat is the most kind and humble wrestler I have met. After going to a Nitro/Thunder taping in Fall 2000, me and some friends were sitting next to the announce table and asked him for his autograph follwing the Thunder taping. He seemed incredibly gracious like "oh my God, someone wants MY autograph?!". He may have sucked ass in the ring, but he left a good impression on us.
Bumped into Mr. Kennedy and Rey Mysterio in a Waffle House outside of Columbia, SC in 2006. I descreetly approached Kennedy, told him I was a fan, and asked if I could take a picture with him, which he was more than happy to do. Rey spent the majority of their time there talking on his cell phone, so I didn't bother him.
Oddly enough, WWE referee Charles Robinson was one of the nicest, most engaging guys I've ever met from the biz. He had a great time chatting with fans outside HSBC Arena in Buffalo before Raw in 2003.

Chris Benoit, no, but I did slap him on the back as he was walking out to the ring to defend his title at a houseshow.
Foley, yes, he was signing autographs at a car and boat show in Spokane. It was a week or two before Wrestlemania XVI, and I really don't know what the fuck he was doing there. They must have paid him a fuckload of money.

I guess this is turning into a "which wrestlers have you met?" thread and I'm always glad to participate in these types of things.
My first one was Tatanka in June '94 at an autograph signing at a late Home Vision Video (sort of the precursor to Blockbuster here in Maine). It was shortly before he turned heel. It was an autograph signing so there wasn't much conversation and I was only six so I wouldn't have remember what was said even if there had been.
I didn't meet another wrestler again until December '99 when I met Tony Atlas at a Toys For Tots drive at a used car dealership of all places. Really nice guy but he was a few fries short of a Happy Meal. At one point, he started rapping about his then recent appearance on MTV True Life. He gave us free tickets to an indy show he was wrestling at with Brutus Beefcake, The Bushwhackers, a Doink, and Public Enemy but my parents wouldn't let me go because it was a school night. Damn them! Tony lives around here so I see him every once in a while out and about. He's headlining an indy show against Pierre Carl Oullette at a bar about an hour away. I should go. The former Saba Simba Vs the former Jean Pierre Laffitte is a match I can't possibly miss.
Next I met Rico and D'Von Dudley outside of a house show in July '02. Both really classy guys who took time to sign autographs for the throngs of fans despite the fact that they were both heels at the time (Though has that really mattered for the past ten years or so?). D'Von seemed like a good humored fellow.
Then I met Scotty 2 Hotty in late '02/early '03 at an autograph signing at a grocery store (Yeesh, they have autograph signings at the oddest places here). He seemed very tired and looked like it was the last place on Earth that he'd want to be. Can't blame him. This was during one of his neck injuries.
Geez- this post is the definition of TL;DR.
I also met the future Kenny Dykstra (then a 16 year old newcomer named Ken Phoenix) at numerous indy shows. Somewhere laying around the house is a picture of myself and my younger brother with the babyfaces of EWA (including Dykstra). Palmer Cannon (then the dominant babyface of the EWA- Brian Black)'s wife worked with my dad and I met him a couple times before and after his brief,inauspicious WWE run.

I think this thread only proves that Foley is one of the nicest guys in wrestling, bar none. I mean I'm sure the guy's had his bad days where he could've been curt or maybe pissy.
And yeah I've met Foley three times. The first time was shortly after KOTR 98, at a house show. A bunch of fans were waiting for wrestlers to come in, and usually security would smack away the fans trying to get up to the wrestlers, but Foley was accomidating. It was very short cause he had a crowd around, but he signed my RAW magazine (the one with Foley on the cover from the King of Deathmatch tournament). 2nd time I didn't really interact but it was again before a show, this time a Sunday Night Heat taping in 99. Foley was coming in the back way and a group of fans were cheering his name. He motioned for them to come over and he spent five minutes chatting and signing autos. 3rd time was a book signing for Tietem Brown.

I met RVD but he isn't my hero. I guess my wrestling hero would either be the Undertaker or Shawn Michaels.

Biografia
Virgilio Mazzocchi fu avviato giovanissimo alla carriera ecclesiastica e prese gli ordini minori il 9 maggio 1614.

Studiò musica con il fratello maggiore Domenico.

Il 24 agosto 1622 venne nominato dal vescovo Fabiani maestro di cappella della cattedrale di Civita Castellana. Nel novembre 1623 svolse il medesimo servizio inizialmente alla chiesa del Gesù a Roma  (prima del 1º giugno 1628), poi alla Cappella musicale Pia Lateranense della S. Giovanni in Laterano (per soli tre mesi) e infine presso la Cappella Giulia, succedendo a Paolo Agostini, nel frattempo morto a causa della peste.

Mazzocchi lavorò presso numerose istituzioni romane, componendo musica sia sacra che profana, e fu una personalità di rilievo per lo sviluppo del melodramma. Fu inoltre un famoso didatta, come testimonierà anche uno dei suoi allievi, Giovanni Andrea Angelini Bontempi.

L'opera San Bonifatio con il libretto di Giulio Rospigliosi ebbe la prima assoluta nel 1638 nel Palazzo della Cancelleria di Roma, La genoinda, overo L'innocenza difesa con il libretto di Rospigliosi nel 1641 nel Palazzo della Cancelleria e nel 1643 Sant'Eustachio con il libretto di Rospigliosi a Roma.

Il 16 settembre 1646 si recò con i suoi cantori della Cappella Giulia a Civita Castellana per celebrare la festa dei santi patroni, ma cadde improvvisamente malato; ivi morì il 3 ottobre.

Il fratello Domenico pose sulla sua tomba un busto e una lapide con un'epigrafe commemorativa, dalla quale i biografi (Raffaele Casimiri) hanno tratto alcune importanti notizie. Giuseppe Ottavio Pitoni tramandò di lui che fu un uomo amabile, mentre Giovan Battista Doni lodò la modestia e i modi gentili di entrambi i fratelli Mazzocchi. Orazio Benevoli prenderà il suo posto a S. Pietro.

Trudeau says budget update won't have fiscal anchor, suggests one is coming after crisis ends
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says there will be no fiscal anchor in the fall fiscal update. (Adrian Wyld/The Canadian Press)
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said today his government's promised update on the health of federal finances won't have a specific anchor to keep spending from spiralling out of control.
He said officials are working on a robust update that will provide some guidelines on spending to help the economy.
Speaking to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce today, the prime minister said it would be premature to lock in a spending anchor while the country is still dealing with the pandemic.
He defended the unprecedented scale of federal aid, saying that anything less would have cost the country far more in terms of lost businesses and jobs.
Trudeau used his morning address to announce that businesses that use personal banking accounts can finally apply for a popular federal loan program.
He added that legislation would be soon tabled in the House of Commons to create more direct rent relief for companies and an extension to the wage subsidy program.
Trudeau said the low cost of borrowing gives the government the fiscal capacity to continue helping Canadians and businesses through the pandemic, and promised it would do "whatever it takes" to support them.
Stimulus to kick-start economy post-pandemic
"At the end of the pandemic, once we've got the vaccine, there is going to be a need for stimulus — we've seen other countries do it — to kick-start our economy into gear and get it growing back. That, of course, will be a one-time investment that we need to target to make sure everybody is benefiting from this relaunch as we get roaring back," he said.
Speaking at the same virtual Chamber event, Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole called the Liberal government's economic response "late and confused." The government's response left out large swaths of the economy and has led to high unemployment and massive deficit spending, he said.
O'Toole said the suggestion that it's okay to keep spending as long as interest rates are low is "scary" because those rates are likely to change. He said a Conservative government would get spending under control and spur GDP growth.
"We are on a precipice, and that's why I think this next election will be a critical choice for Canadians and for our economy," he said.

Justia › US Law › US Case Law › US Supreme Court › Volume 252 › Oklahoma Operating Co. v. Love
Oklahoma Operating Co. v. Love, 252 U.S. 331 (1920)
Oklahoma Operating Company v. Love
Argued January 23, 24, 1919
Restored to docket for reargument April 21, 1919
Submitted October 9, 1919
Order for oral argument entered October 20, 1919
Reargued December 17, 1919
Under the constitution and laws of Oklahoma, an order of the state Corporation Commission declaring a laundry to be a monopoly and its business public, and limiting its rates, was not reviewable directly, by appeal, mandamus, prohibition or otherwise, in any court of the state, and the only recourse for securing a judicial test of the adequacy of the rates fixed was to disobey the order and to appeal to the state supreme court from further action of the Commission,
when taken, imposing a penalty for contempt; a penalty as high as $500 might be imposed, and, semble, a new one for each violation of the order, and each day's refusal was declared to be a separate offense. Held, applying Ex Parte Young, 209 U. S. 123, 209 U. S. 147, and other cases, that the provisions relating to the enforcement of the rates by penalties were violative of the Fourteenth Amendment, without regard to the question of the insufficiency of the rates. P. 252 U. S. 336.
Jurisdiction of the district court having attached in a suit to enjoin the enforcement of such a rate-fixing order and infliction of penalties, it is not divested by a change in the state law permitting direct review of the order in the state court. P. 252 U. S. 337.
Enforcement of the penalties should be enjoined until the district court can determine whether the rates are confiscatory, and if they be found so, their enforcement, by penalties or otherwise, should be enjoined permanently; and, if found not confiscatory, there should be a permanent injunction of penalties accrued pendente lite if the plaintiff had reasonable ground for contesting the rates as confiscatory. Id.
The state Commission need not be enjoined from investigating plaintiff's rates and practices, but its findings and conclusions must be subjected to the review of the district court in the injunction case, and may be made part of the final proofs therein. P. 252 U. S. 338.
Reversed.
APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF OKLAHOMA
MR. JUSTICE BRANDEIS delivered the opinion of the Court.
This suit was brought in the District Court of the United States for the Western District of Oklahoma by the Oklahoma Operating Company against the Corporation Commission of that state to enjoin it from entertaining complaints against the company for the violation of orders limiting the rates for laundry work in Oklahoma City
theretofore entered by the Commission, under § 8235 [Footnote 1] of the Revised Laws of Oklahoma (1910), and from doing any other acts or things to enforce said orders. The case comes here under § 266 of the Judicial Code by direct appeal from an order denying a motion for a preliminary injunction heard before three judges. The appellant presents to this Court the question whether § 8235 is void under the Fourteenth Amendment, contending that, under the laws of the state, there was no opportunity of reviewing judicially a legislative rate fixed pursuant to that section except by way of defense to proceedings for contempt which might be instituted for violating the order, and that the possible penalties for such violation were so heavy as to prohibit resort to that remedy.
The bill as amended makes the following allegations: in 1913, the Commission entered an order declaring the Oklahoma Operating Company a monopoly and its business a public one, and directed it not to increase the rates then being charged except upon application to and permission of the Commission. Since that time, operating costs have risen greatly and rates for laundry work prevailing
in 1913 have become noncompensatory. Accordingly, in January, 1918, the company moved the Commission to set aside its order of 1913 on the ground that the laundry business was not within the purview of § 8235, that the company was not a monopoly within the meaning of that section, and that the section was void. The Commission denied this motion, and thereafter the company established rates higher than those prevailing in 1913. On account of this, it is now threatened with proceedings for contempt. Since the establishment of these higher rates, the company has been summoned before the Commission to give information as to the cost of performing laundry service in Oklahoma City and information in general to determine what may be reasonable rates for laundry service in that city. Upon these allegations, a preliminary injunction was sought below to restrain the Commission from entertaining complaints for violation of its order fixing rates and to enjoin it from proceeding with the investigation regarding the cost of the service.
The scope of § 8235 and the prescribed course of proceedings thereunder, as construed by the supreme court of the state (Harriss-Irby Cotton Co. v. State, 31 Okl. 603; Shawnee Gas & Electric Co. v. State, 31 Okl. 505; Oklahoma Gin Co. v. State, 63 Okla. 10), in connection with other legislation (§§ 1192 to 1207 of the Revised Code of 1910) and provisions of the state constitution (Article IX, §§ 18 to 23), are, so far as here material, these: whenever any business, by reason of its nature, extent, or the exercise of a virtual monopoly therein, is such that the public must use the same or its services, it is deemed a public business, and as such is subject to the duty to render its services upon reasonable terms without discrimination. If any public business violates such duty, the Corporation Commission has power to regulate its rates and practices. Disobedience to an order establishing rates may be punished as a contempt, and the Commission has power,
sitting as a court, to impose a penalty therefor not exceeding $500 a day. Each day's continuance of failure or refusal to obey the order constitutes a separate offense. The original order may not be made, nor any penalty imposed, except upon due notice and hearing. No court of the state, except the supreme court by way of appeal, may review, correct, or annul any action of the Commission within the scope of its authority or suspend the execution thereof, and the supreme court may not review an order fixing rates by direct appeal from such order. But, in the proceedings for contempt, the validity of the original order may be assailed, and for that purpose, among others, new evidence may be introduced. When a penalty for failure to obey an order has been imposed, an appeal lies to the supreme court. On this appeal, the validity of the original order may be reviewed; the appeal is allowed as of right upon filing a bond with sureties in double the amount of the fine imposed; the filing of the bond suspends the fine, and the period of suspension may not be computed against a concern in fixing the amount of liability for fines.
The order of the Commission prohibiting the company from charging, without its permission, rates higher than those prevailing in 1913 in effect prescribed maximum rates for the service. It was therefore a legislative order, and, under the Fourteenth Amendment, plaintiff was entitled to an opportunity for a review in the courts of its contention that the rates were not compensatory. Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Ry. Co. v. Minnesota, 134 U. S. 418, 134 U. S. 456-458; Ex parte Young, 209 U. S. 123, 209 U. S. 165-166. The Constitution of the state prohibited any of its courts from reviewing any action of the Commission within its authority except by way of appeal to the supreme court (Article IX, § 20), and the supreme court had construed the constitution and applicable provisions of the statutes as not permitting a direct appeal from
orders fixing rates. Harriss-Irby Cotton Co. v. State, supra. On behalf of the Commission, it was urged at the oral argument that a judicial review of the order fixing rates might have been had also by writ of mandamus or of prohibition issuing out of the supreme court of the state. But, in view of the provision of the state constitution just referred to, it must be assumed, in the absence of a decision of a state court to the contrary, that neither remedy, even if otherwise available, could be used to review an order alleged to be void because confiscatory. The proviso
"that the writs of mandamus and prohibition shall lie from the supreme court to the commission in all cases where such writs, respectively, would lie to any inferior court or officer"
appears to have no application here. The challenge of a prescribed rate as being confiscatory raises a question not as to the scope of the Commission's authority, but of the correctness of the exercise of its judgment. Compare Hirsh v. Twyford, 40 Okl. 220, 230.
So it appears that the only judicial review of an order fixing rates possible under the laws of the state was that arising in proceedings to punish for contempt. T he Constitution endows the Commission with the powers of a court to enforce its orders by such proceedings. Article IX, §§ 18, 19. By boldly violating an order, a party against whom it was directed may provoke a complaint, and if the complaint results in a citation to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt, he may justify before the Commission by showing that the order violated was invalid, unjust, or unreasonable. If he fails to satisfy the Commission that it erred in this respect, a judicial review is opened to him by way of appeal on the whole record to the supreme court. But the penalties which may possibly be imposed if he pursues this course without success are such as might well deter even the boldest and most confident. The penalty for refusal to
obey an order may be $500, and each day's continuance of the refusal after service of the order it is declared "shall be a separate offense." The penalty may apparently be imposed for each instance of violation of the order. In Oklahoma Gin Co. v. State, post, 252 U. S. 339, it appears that the full penalty of $500, with the provision for the like penalty for each subsequent day's violation of the order, was imposed in each of three complaints there involved, although they were merely different instances of charges in excess of a single prescribed rate. Obviously a judicial review beset by such deterrents does not satisfy the constitutional requirements, even if otherwise adequate, and therefore the provisions of the acts relating to the enforcement of the rates by penalties are unconstitutional without regard to the question of the insufficiency of those rates. Ex parte Young, 209 U. S. 123, 209 U. S. 147; Missouri Pacific Railway Co. v. Tucker, 230 U. S. 340, 230 U. S. 349; Wadley Southern Ry. Co. v. Georgia, 235 U. S. 651, 235 U. S. 662.
The plaintiff is entitled to a temporary injunction restraining the Corporation Commission from enforcing the penalties. Since this suit was commenced, the legislature has provided by c. 52, § 3, of the Laws of 1919 (Sess.Laws Oklahoma 1919, p. 87) that, in actions arising before the Commission under § 8235, there shall be the same right of direct appeal to the supreme court of the state as had theretofore existed in the case of transportation and transmission companies under Article IX, § 20, of the constitution. But, as plaintiff was obliged to resort to a federal court of equity for relief, it ought to retain jurisdiction of the cause in order to make that relief as full and complete as the circumstances of the case and the nature of the proofs may require. The suit should therefore proceed for the purpose of determining whether the maximum rates fixed by the Commission are, under present conditions, confiscatory. If they are found to be so, a permanent injunction should issue to restrain their
enforcement either by means of penalties or otherwise, as through an assertion by customers of alleged rights arising out of the Commission's orders. Missouri v. Chicago, Burlington & Quincy R. Co., 241 U. S. 533, 241 U. S. 538. If, upon final hearing, the maximum rates fixed should be found not to be confiscatory, a permanent injunction should nevertheless issue to restrain enforcement of penalties accrued pendente lite, provided that it also be found that the plaintiff had reasonable ground to contest them as being confiscatory.
It does not follow that the Commission need be restrained from proceeding with an investigation of plaintiff's rates and practices so long as its findings and conclusions are subjected to the review of the district court herein. Indeed, such investigation and the results of it might with appropriateness be made a part of the final proofs in the cause. [Footnote 2]
These conclusions require that the decree of the district court be reversed, and that the case be remanded for further proceedings in conformity with this opinion.
"8235. Public Business Defined. Whenever any business, by reason of its nature, extent, or the existence of a virtual monopoly therein, is such that the public must use the same, or its services, or the consideration by it given or taken or offered, or the commodities bought or sold therein are offered or taken by purchase or sale in such a manner as to make it of public consequence or to affect the community at large as to supply, demand . . . or rate thereof, or said business is conducted in violation of the first section of this article, said business is a public business, and subject to be controlled by the state, by the corporation commission, or by an action in any district court of the state, as to all of its practices, prices, rates and charges. And it is hereby declared to be the duty of any person, firm, or corporation engaged in any public business to render its services and offer its commodities, or either, upon reasonable terms, without discrimination and adequately to the needs of the public considering the facilities of said business."
In Ex parte Young, 209 U. S. 123, 209 U. S. 133, the district court appears to have considered whether the rates were reasonable although the penal features of the act were declared void. Missouri P. Ry. Co. v. Tucker, 230 U. S. 340, was an action for the penalty, and the question here raised was not involved. That it is the penalty provision and not the rate provision which is void appears from the cases in which the validity of statutes was sustained because the objectionable penalty provisions were severable and there was no attempt to enforce the penalties. Willcox v. Consolidated Gas Co., 212 U. S. 19, 212 U. S. 53; United States v. Delaware & Hudson Co., 213 U. S. 366, 213 U. S. 417; Grenada Lumber Co. v. Mississippi, 217 U. S. 433, 217 U. S. 443; Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Ry. Co. v. O'Connor, 223 U. S. 280, 223 U. S. 286; Wadley Southern Ry. v. Georgia, 235 U. S. 651, 235 U. S. 662.

Color halftone, 18 ½"h x 25 ¼"w plus margins. Tack holes at corners and some edge wear, about very good.
Pigskin Panorama is an exuberant and decorative Art Deco-style pictorial map of the American football scene in 1939, when the college game was still dominant.
The map uses vignettes of football players in action poses to show the locations of hundreds of collegiate teams around the United States, all color coded by conference. The border is formed by the names of each team set in a football-shaped panel surrounded by the school's colors.
Albert Richard Co., a Milwaukee-based manufacturer of men's outerwear, published football maps as promotions for several years in a row. They wee touted in newspapers and magazines such as Boys' Life, whose readers were invited to order a copy gratis.
"It's entirely new and more colorful than ever before . . . a real Pigskin Panorama! The 1938 Albert Richard Football Map shows locations, official colors and nicknames of 236 leading colleges. Also major "Pro" teams. Identifies conference members and 1938 champions. A real man-size [!!!] (26 x 19 inches) decorative work of art!

Albert Richard issued variants of its Football Maps in 1938, 1939, 1940, and 1941, all drawn by F. E. Cheeseman. During the Second World War the firm issued patriotic maps drawn by Cheeseman, such as the Patriotic Panorama of the United States (1942) and Aviation Cavalcade (1944). The football theme reappeared at least once, in 1950. This was the work of a new artist, G.E. Smith, who eschewed Cheeseman's bold Art Deco style for a softer look.


Many meetings need a record of the discussion that takes place along with any actions that need to be taken after the meeting is adjourned. An organised set of meeting minutes reminds the participants of what needs to be done and gives those absent an idea of what occurred. Since meetings often do not follow an exact agenda, getting your minutes organised can be time consuming. To help structure your meeting minutes, you can use one of Microsoft Word's templates. Templates provide a predetermined structure to help your organise your meeting notes quickly.
Gather together your notes, a list of the people attending the meeting and their contact information. You will also need a list of the people absent from the meeting and their contact information. Often meeting notes are sent to others who are impacted by the meeting results. Ask your supervisor who else needs to receive the meeting notes.
Open Microsoft Word. Click on the "Microsoft Office Button" in the upper left-hand corner of the Ribbon. When a new dialogue box appears, scroll down under the left Templates task pane and then click on "Minutes." The middle task pane changes to show you all the meeting minute templates you can use.
Double-click on the "Meeting Minutes" template for this example. The minutes template section contains several templates to help organise your information including informal and PTA minutes templates. You can always choose a template that meets your individual needs. Once you double-click, the template is downloaded from Office Online.
Highlight "Meeting Title" and type in your text. Press the tab key to go to the next field and type in your information. Continue filling in your information by pressing the tab key and typing in your information. All templates are guides to follow. If you do not have a text for a section of the template, highlight the text field and press delete.
Save your file by clicking on the "Microsoft Office Button" and "Save." Type in a file name and click "Save" again. If the minutes template was created with a previous version of Office, you will need to click on "OK" to save the document. This saves the document to the current Word version format and will not change your document.
Print your document by clicking on the "Microsoft Office Button" and "Print." Click "OK" to print your document.
If you need to send your minutes to several people via e-mail and you do not know which version of Word they have, you can also save your minutes as a portable document format (PDF) file from Word. Click on the "Microsoft Office Button" and then select "Save As." Click on "PDF or XPS" and then type in a name for your file. Click "Publish" to save the file as a PDF file and attach the PDF version of your file to an e-mail message.

Kesha's first TV performance since her legal battle has been canceled by Dr. Luke's label
Kesha's planned performance at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday has been halted after her producer Dr. Luke's label rescinded its permission for the show.
The singer has been in a long, public legal drama with Dr. Luke, who she alleges sexually assaulted her, and his Sony-owned label Kemosabe Records, with which she has a contract.
Dick Clark Productions, which oversees the awards show that's airing on ABC, said in a statement, "Kesha accepted an invitation to perform on the show and she received written approval from Dr. Luke's record label, Kemosabe Records. Kemosabe subsequently rescinded its approval following a media report on Wednesday May 11 regarding Kesha's appearance on the BBMAs. Unfortunately, Kesha and Kemosabe have since been unable to come to an agreement for Kesha to perform on the show."
TMZ previously reported that the televised performance, Kesha's first since her legal struggle, would make "direct references" to the ongoing conflict with Dr. Luke.
But now Kesha has taken to Instagram to say she had no plans to address her legal situation. Instead, she was going to perform the Bob Dylan song "It Ain't Me, Babe."
"I was very excited to perform a tribute to Bob Dylan by singing a cover of 'It Ain't Me, Babe' at the Billboard awards this year," Kesha wrote in the caption. "I'm very sad and sorry to say I won't be allowed to do this. I just wanted to make very clear that this performance was about me honoring one of my favorite songwriters of all time and has never had anything at all to do with Dr. Luke."
Dick Clark Productions says in its statement that it still holds out hope that "the parties can come to an arrangement" so Kesha can perform Sunday, but right now that's looking unlikely.

The Seven Sacred Teachings
Of Inspiration exist to maintain the sacredness of life, and to ensure survival as living beings on this Earth. They remind us that we are all one - we are all connected - regardless of racial, cultural, religious, socio-economic, or political background. For Aboriginal people, there are Seven Sacred Teachings. Aboriginal people believe that watching the animals in the natural world helps us to better understand the Seven Sacred Teachings.
The Eagle - LOVE
To feel true LOVE is to know the Creator. One's first love is to be the Creator. You express love for the Creator by loving yourself and how the Creator made you. Only then can you truly love others. Children are to be loved, for children are gifts from the Creator.
The Bear - COURAGE
To have COURAGE is to have the mental and moral strength to listen to the heart. It takes courage to do what is morally right. First Nations people were told to be proud of who they are and never to deny the way of life Creator gave to them.
The Buffalo - RESPECT
Aboriginal people were told to always RESPECT all life on Mother Earth. To show real respect is to share and give of yourself for the benefit of all life. Respect the Elders from all races of people who uphold the sacred teachings of the Creator.
The Sabe (Sasquatch) - HONESTY
To be HONEST with yourself is to live in the spirit of how you were created. Never lie or gossip about each other. The more honest you are the bigger you become a person.
The Wolf - HUMILITY
Always carry out actions in HUMILITY. Think of your family, your fellow human beings and your community before you think of yourself. To know humility is to understand that you are not more or less important than anyone else. Being humble is surrendering to the Creator, who has created and who directs all life.
The Beaver - WISDOM
To live in WISDOM is to know that the Creator gave everyone special gifts. Showing wisdom is using your gifts to build a peaceful and healthy family and community. When we know and use our gifts, we become an instrument of the Creator, helping to bring peace to the world.
The Turtle - TRUTH
Always seek the TRUTH. The truth lies in spirit. Prayer was to be done every day at sunrise to give thanks to the Creator for the gift of life. Each of the gifts and ceremonies were given by the Creator to the Original human beings to help them find the truth and the true meaning of their life on Earth.
Living the truth is living the Seven Sacred Teachings, living from the heart.
"We give credit to Nii Gaani Aki Inini (Dave Courchene Jr.) an Anishabe (Ojibway) Elder, for learning and sharing these Seven Sacred Teachings with us."

Russian private law
The blog is about different aspects of Russian private law, namely about the law of real estate, contract law, consumer law, housing law, law on biotechnologies and, finally, family law.
Informed consent for biomaterial usage in Russian law
Any competition of two persons' interests can likely to be deemed as collision of some values protected, at the highest level, by a constitution. Although such a conflict is to be balanced by a legislator and anyone who enforce the law, one of rival interests groups is usually stronger thus becoming general rules of the law while competing interests form exceptions which tends to harmonize the whole legislative system.
In using body samples the situation is exactly the same. Donor's (and, unsurprisingly, her relatives') desire for privacy protection clashes with the researches and pharmacists wish to freely use it as the source of valuable data and raw material for drugs manufacturing, that is as the source of proaafit. If the legislator had chosen to consider tissues primarily as data, resulting from the fact that a single cell contains the whole DNA of a person, any way of cell usage would have been regarded as privacy intervention to be legally grounded and socially justified.
Meanwhile nowadays the general regime is entirely different as it was the property model, which was chosen as legislation framework for tissues and cells. So the conflict of interests arises only if this specific property belongs not to its progenitor but to the third party, mainly to medical, scientific and pharmacy institutions. I tried to show that Russian legislation in this field follows the law of the USA as well as that of the EU, so in all these countries the property law tends to protect an owner from anyone's infringement, including from source individual's one.
So it is the time to consider two main restrictions, which data protection law imposes on the owner of biosamples, these are rules on voluntary informed consent and privacy protection.
Voluntary informed consent (hereinafter simply 'informed consent') as a mandatory requirement of any biomaterial research is based on the concept that such studying is studying of a human being for the latter the informed consent has being a imperative requisite since the Nuremberg Code. Its shortage forced the World Health Organization to develop a far more detailed ethical guide on medical studying of human beings as subject matter, which was enacted in Helsinki in 1964 and thus is famous as Declaration of Helsinki. Over the half of the century it has been updated time and again, the last version being issued in 2013.
According to the art (1)73 of the Health Protection Act all personnel of medical institutions shall act with compliance to medical ethics and to follow ethical rules is regarded as part of the principle of patient's interests priority (see art. (1) 6 of the same Act). So the Declaration of Helsinky is widely recognized as part of Russian law despite the fact that the country has enacted no formal act to implement its provisions into the legislation.
The Declaration is said in its Preamble to be drafted as a set of ethical principles for medical research involving human subjects and their identifiable material and data. The remarks on human biomaterial had been added to the document during its fifth revision in 2000, basing on the concept that studying body material is studying a human being. Meanwhile this doctrine has been widely criticized recently for both its arguably wrong roots and harmful consequences. Indeed, the informed consent requirement in application to tissues and cells is rooted in the same principles of autonomy and a right to weight all risks of medical interventions that determines the universal foundation of the informed consent. However, as far as bodily materials after dissection are concerned, these ideas apparently do not work, for after separation any use of samples would never affect the subject's health. Full and consistent operation of the autonomy right, in turn, would enable any patient to stop the whole body of medical research that evidently contradicts social interests. That is why the informed consent requirement has been weakened over the years, shifting to 'broad consent' model, which enables researchers to inform the donor on foreseeable usage of his material.
This tendency is reflected in Russian State Standard on Good Clinical Practice, which is said to be identical to ISO 14155:2011 «Clinical investigation of medical devices for human subjects — Good clinical practice». Art. 3.6 of the Standard provides a definition of clinical investigation which is described as any 'systematic investigation in one or more human subjects, undertaken to assess the safety or performance of a medical device'. It is entirely clear that, for example, a blood sample studying can never be viewed as an investigation 'in human subjects' as the only person with conscious and will in this investigation is the researcher herself and not at all the source individual.
However, nowadays denial of the informed consent cannot be said to overcome the traditional approach neither in developed countries legislation nor in legal or medical periodic. That is why, although Russian law does not expressly require the informed consent for human biomaterials research (or other usage as well), the huge importance and influence of the Declaration make the medical institutions obtain it from the patients.
Leaving behind general rules of the document we should mention its two main clauses on informed consent. First of all, art. 26 require each potential subject to be informed of the aims, methods, sources of funding, any possible conflicts of interest, the anticipated benefits and potential risks of the study and the discomfort it may entail and any other relevant aspects of the study. After ensuring that the potential subject has understood the information, the 'qualified individual' should seek the potential subject's freely-given informed consent, preferably in writing. For biomaterial usage art. 32 of the Declaration further provides that in any medical research involving identifiable human material or data, such as research on material or data contained in biobanks, the informed consent should be obtained for either its collection, storage or reuse. However, this strict rule has an immediate exception namely when seeking for the consent is 'impractical', it can replaced be approval of an ethic committee.
As for any reuse of body material it is necessary to obtain the donor's informed consent and because of absence of any hints on its content in national law, one should follow the European approach in the question. The Declaration's requirement is deemed to be satisfied when, as was made in Catalana v. Washington University, the source individual is provided with the brochure with general information on the research and its foreseeable aims, which according to art. 11 of the Recommendations of the European Council expressly states that their composition and intensity could differ and the samples could be transferred to third parties for research purposes.

All's Walhall That Ends Walhall
Not Posting but Drowning
Spelt With Two I's, for Better Stereoscopic Vision [Updated! With Answers!]
More music, but nothing to do with Wagner or opera this time.
Returning to the office from a court appearance up in Ventura County, I slipped a CD into the changer and was reminded that I have not yet put in a good word for Hummingbiird. Hummingbiird is the current incarnation of the Chicago-area band formerly known as Pedal Steel Transmission. Following its name change and retooling, the band released a self-titled album this past August, and has made it available in its entirety for absolutely-free-and-legal MP3 downloading at its website, here.
In the band's current version, the song structures seem to have tightened up a bit from the more clangorous and freeformed excursions favored by its predecessor. As the old name suggests, guitars are the order of the day, with stylistic touchstones covering the past 35 years or so. At any given moment, the music may evoke anything from Ennio Morricone to The Cure to the Allmans to the Kinks to what have you. There are plenty of effects -- reverb, delay, etc. -- but little in the way of distortion or feedback: the sounds that emerge happily display their origins in vibrating steel or nylon. Guitars are there to make music, not to serve as trigger devices for some other sort of effect or processing. The song titles tend not to indicate how the song will sound: some of the kinder gentler numbers have comparatively grim titles such as "Nuclear Winter," "Lyme Disease" or "Beat the Zombies." "Speak Softly," on the other hand, doesn't -- and "Lilting" isn't. The collection is old-fashioned in the sense that the album holds up well as an album: worth listening to in order, all the way through. It is a mystery to me why (to judge by Google and Technorati results) Hummingbiird has not received more attention from the MP3/music weblog community since it put this album out last summer. (Did I mention it's downloadable for free!!? Yes, it appears that I did.)
As a sample, here is perhaps my favorite track. "Homesic and Sujnburned" (the only eccentric title spelling in the group) starts out evoking the Beatles' "If I Needed Someone" as it might be played by the Byrds over a lush bed of -- what else? -- pedal steel guitar. It settles into some spacious prairie musing until the 3-minute mark when, instead of ending as it might, the song spends two more minutes stretching itself like a large purring jungle cat before spinning off a final chorus.
Hummingbiird - Homesic and Sujnburned [MP3 link]
As a bonus, here is the aforementioned tick-borne ailment:
Hummingbiird - Lyme Disease [MP3 link]
The core of Hummingbiird consists of songwriters Dan Schneider and Gary Pyskacek, who are also, so far as I can determine, the main constituents of The Singleman Affair, under which moniker they pursue their more acoustic-psychedelic-folk inclinations. Clever movie buffs of a certain age may earn valuableless Fool points by identifying the reference in that band name. The Singleman Affair has a forthcoming album of its own, samples from which were posted earlier in the week by Craig Bonnell at songs:illinois. Early Simon & Garfunkel appears to be a formative influence here, and there's nothing wrong with that.

It has occurred to me more than once that the double-i's in the last syllable of Hummingbiird might both be voiced, so that the name would be pronounced as "Humming-beard," an example of which was famously illustrated by Edward Lear:
UPDATE [012106 16:49 PST]: Glenn at Coolfer today reports the signing of The Singleman Affair to the Poptones label. At the Poptones site, you can find a streaming Quicktime video for l'affaire Singleman's "Is Madras Morning" -- which draws on the Ravi Shankar-driven stars 'n' sitars side of 60s music -- as well as a link to the band's inevitable MySpace page.
I will provide an answer to the "what movie does the band name come from" quiz on Monday, if no one else has provided the correct response by then.
Final Update [012406 1010 PST]: The answer to our film trivia question is in the continuation below:
FILM TRIVIA ANSWER:
The Singleman Affair's band name is taken from The Graduate. Benjamin (Dustin Hoffman), arriving at the hotel for his assignation with Mrs. Robinson, meets the Desk Clerk, played imperturbably by the film's screenwriter, Buck Henry. Hilarity ensues:
ROOM CLERK: Can I help you, sir!
BEN: What? Oh - no - I'm just -
He points vaguely in the direction of the other young people.
ROOM CLERK: Are you here for an affair, sir?
Terror and disbelief start in Ben's eyes. He looks helplessly at the clerk.
BEN: What?
ROOM CLERK: The Singleman party, sir?
BEN: Oh - yes. The Singleman party.
ROOM CLERK: It's in the main ballroom.
BEN: Ahh - thank you.
Ben backs off and turns and starts across the lobby. He puts on his jacket as he goes. He gets to the entrance to the main ballroom. He pauses at the door, looks in.
What he sees: People dancing, talking, sitting, etc. He turns back toward the lobby. He stops.
What he sees: The room clerk scross the lobby watching him.
Ben flashes a huge smile and points in toward the ballroom as though to express his joy at finding the Singleman affair inside, then turns back and enters the ballroom.

Hmmm, movie buff I sort of resemble, but I am stumped. "The Mating Habits of Earthbound Women", or "The Tao of Steve?" Perhaps way to obscure?
Hummingbiird is wonderful! Thanks!

Toronto Port Authority receives Supreme Court of Canada decision on municipal Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILTs)
Toronto – Toronto Port Authority (TPA) President and Chief Executive Officer Geoffrey Wilson issued the following statement, in response to media enquiries, regarding today's Supreme Court of Canada decision involving a dispute between the City of Montreal and two federal bodies, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and the Montreal Port Authority.
The dispute centred on the amount of Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILTs) the federal bodies owed to the City of Montreal for municipal services, and whether this amount should be comparable to private-sector property owners:
"The Supreme Court's decision is entirely consistent with the Toronto Port Authority's approach to the PILTs process. We believe the TPA has a responsibility to pay its fair share for the municipal services we use. We further believe that PILTs payable to the City of Toronto should be relative to what we would pay in business taxes if the TPA were a private-sector operator. The Court's ruling dealt with a dispute that was unrelated to any issues that have arisen in Toronto between the TPA and the City of Toronto in recent years."

Minnesota Supreme Court Concludes Joint and Several Liability Statute Does Not Apply to Employer
by Beth A. Jenson Prouty, Joseph M. Nemo, and Paul J. Rocheford
In the November 27, 2019, decision of Fish v. Ramler Trucking Inc., the Minnesota Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals, concluding that a third-party tortfeasor ("tortfeasor") is responsible for fault allocated to an employer for a workplace injury. The Court concluded that Minnesota's joint and several liability statute, Minn. Stat. § 604.02, only applies when there are two or more severally liable parties. Because an employer is immune from tort liability under the Workers' Compensation Act, and thus is not a person "severally liable," the statute does not apply to reduce the tortfeasor's liability by an employer's fault.
In Fish, the plaintiff employee was injured on the job. He collected workers' compensation benefits, and brought a lawsuit against Ramler Trucking, a tortfeasor, whom he alleged contributed to his injuries. The jury awarded Fish damages of $454,913.04, and apportioned fault 75% to the employer, 20% to Ramler, and 5% to Fish. The district court found that, after collateral source offsets, Ramler was only liable for its 20% share of fault (which the district court calculated to be $55,782.72) because it was not jointly and severally liable (more than 50% at fault) under Minn. Stat. § 604.02.
The Minnesota Supreme Court, affirming the Court of Appeals, concluded that Ramler was liable for the combined fault of both Ramler and the employer, and thus was required to pay the full amount of the jury verdict, subject to appropriate collateral source offsets and less the 5% of fault allocated to Fish. Both Ramler's Lambertson contribution claim against the employer and the employer's subrogation claim against Ramler had been settled before trial.
In 2003, the legislature amended Minnesota's joint and several liability statute, Minn. Stat. § 604.02, to provide that when two or more persons are severally liable for a plaintiff's damages, each person's contributions are limited in proportion to their own fault except under four enumerated circumstances, one of which is that if a person is more than 50% at fault that person is jointly and severally liable for the whole award. Following this amendment, litigants questioned whether the percentage of fault allocated to the employer in a workplace injury claim was reallocated to the tortfeasor, as it historically had been, or whether the employer's percentage of fault reduced the plaintiff employee's damages even though the employee could not recover the damages from the employer. Fish concludes the 2003 amendments to Minn. Stat. § 604.02 do not change the treatment of fault allocated to an employer. A tortfeasor is liable for the fault allocated to an employer because there is no "several" liability between the two and that is required to trigger application of Minn. Stat. § 604.02.
A tortfeasor faced with potential liability for an employer's fault is not left without a remedy. The tortfeasor can join the employer as a third-party defendant in the lawsuit brought by the employee, even though the employee cannot generally sue the employer for tort damages due to the exclusive remedy of workers' compensation. The tortfeasor can then seek reimbursement through contribution from the employer in proportion to the employer's assessed level of fault, subject to a statutory cap on that liability, which limits the employer's contribution to its net subrogation recovery under Minn. Stat. § 176.061, Subd. 6 (a Lambertson claim). See Minn. Stat. § 176.061, Subd. 11. Alternatively, the employer added as a third-party defendant can waive its right of subrogation in order to dissolve any liability to the tortfeasor ("waive and walk"). The tortfeasor can then request a collateral source offset of damages awarded based on duplicative workers' compensation benefits paid for that same damage. While this framework allows for partial recovery by a tortfeasor against an employer, it does create situations where the tortfeasor is required to pay for the employer's fault to the extent the employer's liability exceeds the tortfeasor's right of contribution against the employer or the collateral source offset.
The interplay between employer liability and a third-party tortfeasor's liability is complex. The members of Arthur Chapman's General Liability and Subrogation Group stand ready to answer your questions.

Solar Foods Oy gets two-million euros in startup funding for producing food out of air - Solar Foods Ltd.
The Finnish company Solar Foods Oy produces an entirely new kind of nutrient-rich protein using only air and electricity as the main resources. The goal of the company is to start commercial production of the environmentally revolutionary protein in 2020.
"We are starting test production in Finland this year, and are applying to the European Food Authority for approval as a novel food whose testing will take a few years. At the same time, we will begin testing the production of consumer products with our partners," says company founder and technology director, D.Sc. (Tech.) Juha-Pekka Pitkänen.
"Our goal is to develop the protein into a high-quality product whose environmental impact will be 10-100 times smaller than those of meat products or their substitutes currently in the market," says D.Sc. (Tech.) Pasi Vainikka, the company's incoming CEO.
Solar Foods' concept redefines the basics of food production, as it is not dependent on agriculture, the weather, or the climate. The price of the protein product is also competitive compared to sources such as soy protein.
The company's production method is based on the research projects of the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and the Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) that proved the viability of the production concept for extremely protein-rich food. The results of these research projects have attracted a lot of international attention.
Solar Foods' round of investment was led by Lifeline Ventures. The other investors were VTT Ventures Oy and Green Campus Innovations Oy. In addition to capital investment, the company was granted a development and piloting loan by Business Finland.
"Solar Foods will take the environmental requirements of food production to an entirely new level, and can do it in a way that is competitive in terms of cost and can be sized to a large scale," says Lifeline Ventures partner Juha Lindfors.
Solar Foods produces protein using air and electricity. Solar Foods will revolutionize food production with a method that is not dependent on agriculture, the weather, or the climate.

Q: Is it possible to display a bundled Android app within a Unity 3D scene? If I have a 2D Android app, which has been bundled with my Unity Android app, is it possible to take this app and render it inside of a 3D Unity scene?
As in have the app render within a rectangle inside the 3D space?
I have done some research and have found lots of resources for doing this in reverse (running a Unity app inside of an Android app) but not really anything for what I'm proposing here.
I haven't really tried anything, as I'm really not sure where one would even start for this.
My intent is to take an open-source Android app called Termux, and display it within my 3D scene in my Android Unity project.

Another common question concerns the "no contest" term. These clauses provide that if anyone challenges the will, there is a penalty. Some states do not recognize this clause, so there's no point to using it. Your estate planning attorney will know the laws for your state and be able to advise you about whether you can use this to exclude someone from your will.
The bottom line: your will should reflect your wishes and accomplish your goals. If a family member has a problem, such as a substance abuse problem or is not able to manage money, an estate planning attorney can work with you to either exclude them from your will, create a trust with guidelines (i.e., requirements to be engaged in a rehab program or be gainfully employed) or distribute your assets at certain periods of time.
If you don't want a specific property to go to your child, not to your spouse, you can accomplish it by having a specific request in your estate plan.

Our Lower Global Warming Potential Refrigerant Hits the Road
Opteon™ YF (R-1234yf) rolls out in millions of cars.
Opteon™ YF cools like HFC-134a in automotive air conditioning systems.
But with a much lower global warming potential (GWP) – less than a single molecule of CO2.
Windows Up. AC On. From highway 110 to Beijing or Route 66 to Santa Monica, it's what drivers do when temperatures rise. But the HFC-134a automotive refrigerant that makes air conditioning systems work also contributes to global warming, when it escapes from sealed systems through leaks, servicing, and disposal.
With over a billion cars on the road, something needed to change. As a chemical company, we were compelled to investigate the carbon footprint made by HFC-134a refrigerant.
Better bonds. Evolving the chemistry of cool.
Conventional HFC refrigerants are composed of hydrogen, fluorine, and carbon atoms, connected by single bonds between the atoms. Opteon™ YF (R-1234yf) refrigerant is composed of hydrogen, fluorine, and carbon atoms, but contain at least one double bond between the carbon atoms.
It's a difference in chemistry that makes a big difference in Global Warming Potential. The most common refrigerant in use is HFC-134a, which has a GWP of 1,300 vs. less than 1 for Opteon™ YF. And, while HFCs can persist for years in the atmosphere, Opteon™ YF refrigerant has a lifetime measured in days.
The smaller the carbon footprint, the bigger the impact.
Over 108 million cars are estimated to be on the road using R-1234yf by the end of 2019.
Growing demand. Global supply.
With about 100 million new cars rolling off assembly lines each year, governments around the world are accelerating efforts to phase out high Global Warming Potential (GWP) HFCs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The European Commission initially paved the way by enforcing the Mobile Air Conditioning (MAC) Directive, which includes requirements for new automotive air conditioning systems that high GWP HFCs can't meet. In addition, the United States (Environmental Protection Agency), Japan (METI), and other countries have issued or proposed regulations that encourage the use of low GWP refrigerants in automotive air conditioning systems.
During the 2016 Kigali accord, hundreds of nations gathered to address the need to counter the powerful, climate impact of high GWP HFCs, which are used in air conditioners and refrigerators. This agreement signifies that 170 countries will begin to actively freeze their reliance on HFCs, reducing the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide by 70 billion tons by 2050.*
With current manufacturing sites in China, Japan, and the United States, Chemours has taken Opteon™ YF from global launch in 2011 into mass production to meet our customers' projected demand. With its low global warming potential and excellent cooling performance, Opteon™ YF is primed to be the next-generation refrigerant leader.
We've built the infrastructure to make an impact.
We have aftermarket distribution capabilities in 40 countries in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and across the United States.
Service equipment for use in handling Opteon™ YF is commercially available. Increasing use is creating a ripple effect, with aftermarket service capabilities developing in new countries as vehicles containing Opteon™ YF go to market.
From cars to supermarkets to kitchens.
The next stop for our Opteon™ portfolio of low GWP products includes high-temperature heat pumps; building air conditioning systems and insulation; and finally, insulating the warehouses and transportation systems that preserve food from farm to fork, including home refrigerators.
While the breakthrough chemistry across our Opteon™ product line is focused on lower GWP, it's also important to note that our Opteon™ products increase energy efficiency in some applications and retain other important properties including low toxicity, nonflammability or mild flammability, and zero ozone-depletion potential.

A Slough Feg amerikai metal együttes.

Története

1990-ben alakultak meg Pennsylvaniában, később áttették székhelyüket San Franciscóba.  "The Lord Weird Slough Feg" néven kezdték pályafutásukat a 2005-ös "Atavism" albumuktól kezdve egyszerűen csak "Slough Feg" a nevük. Nevüket a Sláine című brit képregény-sorozat gonosztevőjéről kapták. Az együttes gitárosa, Mike Scalzi szerint azért rövidítették le a nevüket, mert a "The Lord Weird" szavak miatt nehéz volt megtalálni albumaikat a lemezboltokban. Zeneileg hagyományos heavy metalt játszanak, folk-os és power metalos elemekkel. Először három demót adtak ki a kilencvenes években. Justin Phelps basszusgitáros ezek után kilépett a zenekarból.  Első nagylemezük 1996-ban jelent meg. Második albumukat 1999-ben adták ki, ekkor a "Dragonheart Records"hoz szerződtek le. 2000-ben és 2003-ban újabb lemezeket dobtak piacra. Ekkorra elhagyták a Dragonheart Records-ot és az olasz "Cruz del Sur Records" kiadóhoz szerződtek le. John Cobbett gitáros ekkoriban kilépett a zenekarból. Helyére Angelo Tringali került 2005-ben. 2007-ben újabb nagylemezt adtak ki, 2008-ban pedig egy válogatáslemezt. 2013-ban szerződtek a neves Metal Blade Records kiadóhoz. 2014-ben és 2018-ban is piacra dobtak nagylemezeket.

Paramount:
Star Trek Beyond (2016) (** ½) Stranded on a deserted planet, the crew of the Enterprise confronts a race of alien warriors in the latest big screen Star Trek entry. The emphasis is on action and not the philosophical overtones found in the original series. Extras include deleted scenes and featurettes.
Warner Brothers:
War Dogs (2016) (** 1/2) Miles Teller and Jonah Hill star in the true story of two twentysomethings who made a killing selling arms to the US government until things went south. Good moments abound but not enough to overcome familiarity with the subject. Extras include three featurettes
Robert DeNiro in Taxi Driver — Image by © Steve Schapiro/Corbis
Taxi Driver: 40th Anniversary Edition (1976) (*** ½) There's not much else that can be said about director Martin Scorsese's iconic tale of alienation as personified by lonely, disillusioned taxi driver, Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro). It's still great. Extras in the two disc set include a new Q and A, two commentaries, making of documentary, photo galleries and several featurettes.
Don't Breathe (2016) (***) Some delinquent teens decide to rob a blind man, figuring it'll be an easy score. Of course they're wrong. Well directed suspense film offers enough requisite thrills to recommend it. Extras include deleted scenes, five featurettes and a commentary track.
Sausage Party (2016) (***) Seth Rogen leads an all star voice cast in this animated take on what happens in the grocery store after the doors close for the day. The film's subversive subtext provides more than a few good moments. Extras include seven featurettes.
Lionsgate:
Indignation (2016) (** ½) The latest attempt at adapting a Phillip Roth novel, a tale of the experiences of a Jewish youth (Logan Lerman) at a conservative college in the 1950s, is a strictly hit and miss affair. Extras include two featurettes.
Hell or High Water (2016) (***) One of the better films of this calendar year features Jeff Bridges as a Texas lawman in pursuit of a pair of bank robbing brothers (Chris Pine, Ben Foster). Extras include five featurettes.
Imperium (2016) (***) Daniel Radcliffe is an FBI agent who must subvert his personal views in order to infiltrate a right wing terrorist group in this absorbing thriller. Extras include two featurettes, interviews, trailers and commentary.
Criterion:
Punch Drunk Love (2002) (*** ½) features Adam Sandler in one of his best performances as a socially awkward misfit who finds the woman of his dreams (Emily Watson). Extras include deleted Scenes, interviews/featurettes covering the music and production of the film, a faux TV commercial, trailers and a booklet.
Olive Films:
Hannie Caulder (1972) (***) One of Raquel Welch's better starring vehicles as a woman who is left raped, widowed and homeless and seeks violent revenge against the three men responsible. The film has never looked better than it does here. Extras include audio commentary, two featurettes and a booklet/essay.
J'acccuse (1938) (***) is director Abel Gance's remake of his own 1919 silent film of the same name. A scientist creates a device to stop war but things don't go as planned. No extras.
One of Our Aircraft is Missing (1942) (***) is another of the fine collaborations of Michael Powell/Emeric Pressburger. This tale of an RAF crew's escape attempt from Nazi forces after being shot down is wonderfully executed and one of the better of these kinds of films. No extras.
Finders Keepers (1984) (**) stars Louis Gossett Jr. in a comedic caper involving a stolen fortune stashed away in a coffin and onboard a speeding train. Directed by Richard Lester and featuring his trademark slapstick found in his films made during this period, the film also features Jim Carrey in a very early role. No extras
I, The Jury (1982) (***) is one of the better big screen adventures featuring author Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer character. Here he's played by Armand Assante. It's a basic revenge tale but feautures enough chases and violent goings on to recommend it. Extras include audio commentary and a trailer gallery
Twilight Time, whose releases are limited to a pressing of 3000 units for each of their titles, has issued a new batch of classics. Their product can only be ordered via www.twilighttimemovies.com and www.screenarchives.com. October releases from the company include:
The Boston Strangler (1968) (***) Director Richard Fleischer's dramatization of the string of murders that rocked the city of Boston in the early 60s is one of the most stylishly made films of its era. Tony Curtis stars along with Henry Fonda, George Kennedy and Murray Hamilton. Extras include commentary, music/effects track, trailers and featurettes, one of which involves director William Friedkin (The Exorcist) discussing the film.
Moscow on the Hudson (1984) (*** ½) Paul Mazursky directs this tale of a Russian musician (Robin Williams) who defects while visiting Bloomingdales. The film is brimming with the humanity and warmth found in the majority of the director's work and stands among the best of his ouput. Extras include two audio commentaries and isolated score track.
Pretty Poison (1968) (*** ½) Anthony Perkins, shades of Norman Bates, portrays an arsonist who's just been released from an insane asylum. He gets involved with a pretty teen (Tuesday Weld) and his life takes an even worse turn once she convinces him to assist in a murder. This darkly comedic take on the perils of smalltown life is well worth a look. Extras include music/effects track, two audio commentaries, deleted scene script and the original trailer.
Gran Bollito (1977) (** ½) Shelley Winters stars in this Italian chiller as a disturbed woman who will sacrifice anything to protect her grown son from harm. Extras include commentary and the film's trailer.
I Want to Live (1958) (***) is director Robert Wise' sterling dramatization of the first woman sent to Death Row for her crimes. It also features an Oscar winning performance by Susan Hayward. Extras include score track, audio commentary and theatrical trailer.
Moby Dick (1956) (***) The only big screen adaptation to date of Herman Melville's novel features great direction by John Huston and a script co-written by Rad Bradbury. Gregory Peck's performance as the obsessive Captain Ahab is as good as ever. Extras include score track, audio commentary, featurette and theatrical trailer.
Coming soon: Jason Bourne, Francis Foster Jenkins, Southside With You, The Secret Life of Pets, Ben Hur and The Hollars.

Q: How can I center the children of a Wrap Widget while maintaining a grid-like structure? The Wrap widget allows us to center its children using its alignment property.
|   widget widget   |
|   widget widget   |
|   widget widget   |
|       widget      | <--- problem

However, the effect I would like looks like this:
|   widget widget   |
|   widget widget   |
|   widget widget   |
|   widget          |

or
|    wid wid wid   |
|    wid wid       |

I do not want to use a GridView because the number of columns should vary depending on the size of the device. The same applies to having to manually use a set of Rows. I need to just be able to pass a list of widgets and have them aligned like in the examples above.
I also need the widgets to be centered because otherwise I get something like this:
|widget widget     |
|widget widget     |
|widget widget     |
|widget            |

A: You can use a Row layout for each row and a Center layout or Column layour as parent.
For each Row layout you can add these properties
   crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
   mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
   mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,
