Dutch court rules importers of Myanmar teak must be able to trace legality from stump to shipping - EIA
Dutch court rules importers of Myanmar teak must be able to trace legality from stump to shipping
A Dutch court has ruled that importers of teak from Myanmar must be able to trace the legality of the luxury timber all the way back to felling.
The judgement confirms that the European Union Timber Regulation (EUTR) imposes stringent standards on timber traders to ensure their imports are legally harvested at all stages of production, beginning with cutting the tree down.
Our Forests campaigners have submitted a series of complaints against various companies over their imports of Myanmar teak and this latest case arose as a result of three such complaints.
Burmese teak is prized for decking on luxury yachts
EIA Forests Campaigns Leader Faith Doherty said: "We have been at the forefront of efforts to ensure illegally felled teak from Myanmar is kept out of European markets and are delighted that this ruling underlines the responsibilities of traders to ensure they are not dealing in stolen wood.
"In addition we support any real reforms in Myanmar, reforms the sector desperately needs in order to sustain Myanmar's forests and the people who rely upon them."
The ruling by the Dutch Administrative Court in the Hague upheld a finding by the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (the Nederlandse Voedsel- en Warenautoriteit , or NVWA) that Myanmar teak traded for yacht construction was not compliant with the law.
The court case follows coordinated action in 2019 by Dutch and Czech authorities to seize large quantities of teak being routed through the Czech Republic in an attempt to get around EUTR enforcement.
The NVWA initially pursued enforcement action against teak traders in the Netherlands after EIA submitted complaints against three Dutch companies in 2016 and issued an order against one trader – Royal Boogaerdt Timber – to prevent it from directly trading teak into the country.

The company challenged the order, insisting it was not responsible for ensure legality throughout the whole timber supply chain for the timber.
However, the EUTR imposes 'due diligence' requirements, which means that companies have to take steps to ensure their timber does not come from an illegal source.
Doherty added: "If the company's case was accepted in court, it would have significantly weakened the EUTR as operators could have gotten away with not fully verifying the legality of the timber – effectively opening the gates for illegal timber from Myanmar and elsewhere to enter Europe.
"This welcome decision provides further support for the strong stance taken on Myanmar teak and confirms the robust standards imposed by the EUTR as well as the considerable difficulties presently meeting them for Myanmar teak.
Since 2015, EIA has released a series of reports laying bare the high risks of importing timber from Myanmar; most recently, State of Corruption exposed high-level corruption in the Myanmar teak trade.
During the past decade, Myanmar had one of the highest levels of deforestation in the world and illegal logging was a major cause of that destruction.
In rejecting Royal Boogaerdt Timber's claims, the court firmly stated that timber operators have a duty to completely verify the legality of the timber, ruling (translated from original Dutch):
… the information gathered must adequately cover all steps of the production chain, namely from the felling to the import of the timber into the internal market. Contrary to the claimants' opinion, this also includes, in particular, information about the location in which logging has taken place, for example in the form of a scheme that grants the right to harvest wood there;
… the collected documentation must be assessed as a whole, with traceability throughout the entire supply chain , where all information must be verifiable. It was therefore up to claimants to familiarise themselves with the applicable laws and regulations prior to placing the timber on the internal market and to obtain the necessary documents and information.
The court further found Royal Boogaerdt Timber had not conducted adequate due diligence for the teak it had imported because it was missing key steps in the supply chain. It also found that the penalty imposed by NVWA, which included an order to stop importing Myanmar teak for a year, was procedurally sound.

56601. Israeli Politics And Camp David
David Makovsky
The Washington Institute for Near East Policy
Domestic political considerations will be an important factor in Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak's moves at Camp David. Although he would like to have one for a myriad of reasons, politically Barak does not need a deal. To the contrary, failure to reach an agreement could even bring his "big tent" coalition back from dead. Barak had hoped to have a broad government that included the religious parties behind him, having learned from the Yitzhak Rabin era that it was a mistake to have a narrow government relying on its Arab members to squeeze through Knesset confidence votes. But having lost the Jewish majority before his departure, the prime minister's critics will insist that the results of the Camp David summit are illegitimate. Undoubtedly, Barak will reject such assertions, pointing to his promise to hold a national referendum.

56602. A Second Camp David Summit? Assessment And Prospects
A decision whether to revive the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks at a reconvened Camp David Summit may be made next Wednesday, but as it stands now, the prospects seem very uncertain. President Bill Clinton is scheduled to hold separate meetings with Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian Authority chairman Yasir Arafat during the United Nations special Millennium Summit. Mindful of an array of ticking clocks, Washington would like to reconvene Camp David for a short and final session sometime during the second half of September. Yet, given the failure of the last summit in July, a generally recognized precondition for a revival of summitry is the prior resolution of almost all outstanding issues between the parties, in order to virtually guarantee the success of renewed negotiations.

56603. Camp David II Aftermath: Options For The Next Ninety Days
In the aftermath of Camp David II and with the start of the Knesset summer recess yesterday, there appears to be a 40-90 day "window" for Israelis and the Palestinians to determine whether a diplomatic breakthrough is still possible or whether the parties will move in alternative directions.

56604. Special Policy Forum Report: Camp David Collapse — A Behind The Scenes Assessment By A Participant
Elyakim Rubinstein
Although the failure of the Camp David II summit to reach a final status agreement between Israel and the Palestinians is certainly sad, it is important to emphasize that this two-week meeting was not a waste of time. For the first time, Israelis and Palestinians sat together in an official setting and thoroughly discussed previously deferred matters like Jerusalem and the refugees. Although unsuccessful in reaching a full resolution, a "basic and very deep clarification of the positions" was achieved at Camp David. A partial agreement was not the preferred alternative of either the Israelis or the Palestinians.
56605. Special Policy Forum Report; Jerusalem's Status And The Evolution Of U.S. Policy
Shlomo Slonim and Geoffrey Watson
Since 1967, U.S. administrations have varied their policy regarding the status of East Jerusalem. Under the Johnson and Reagan administrations, East Jerusalem was not considered occupied territory, and, consequently, Israeli control of the city in its entirety was implicitly accepted. Johnson emphasized that the international interest lay only with the holy sites of Jerusalem, and Reagan indicated that Jerusalem as a whole should remain under exclusive Israeli administration. In contrast, the Nixon and Bush administrations viewed East Jerusalem as occupied territory, therefore implicitly calling for a reorganization, if not redivision, of the city. The Nixon administration was the first to declare East Jerusalem "occupied" under the provisions of the 1949 Geneva Convention, and Bush went so far as to declare Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem as contrary to international law. The Carter and Clinton administrations were both ambiguous about the status of East Jerusalem.

56606. The Status Of The Palestinian Refugees
Nicole Brackman
Among the issues being discussed at Camp David between Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, Palestinian Authority chairman Yasir Arafat, and President Clinton is one matter that directly affects several other states in the region not represented at the talks, namely, the situation of the Palestinian refugees, especially those in Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan.

56607. Camp David II: The End Of The Palestinian-Israeli Conflict?
Robert Satloff
There have been at least seven agreements between Israel and the Palestinians in the past seven years. Negotiations with intermittent spurts of violence have been a way of life. Any new agreement will not be about an end to the conflict: The original 1993 agreement specified such an end, with all further disputes to be settled by negotiations alone. What Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak is looking for is an agreement that will put an end to all further claims.
56608. Arafat's Resistance To A Summit
U.S. secretary of state Madeleine Albright completed her round of talks with both Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) today, failing to announce the immediate convening of a U.S. summit. At the end of her discussions, she said she would report to U.S. president Bill Clinton on Thursday, and that he would only then determine whether and when such a summit will take place. But Palestinian officials say the likely format will be further Israeli-Palestinian talks with an aim toward convening a summit at a later date.

56609. Special Policy Forum Report: An Islamist Internationale?, Transnational Links Among Islamist Radical Groups
Reuven Paz
The Israeli-Palestinian dispute is no longer the main issue on the Islamist agenda. The fall of the Soviet Union in 1990 and the development of national and Muslim-Christian disputes in various parts of Europe and central Asia assisted in the globalization of the Islamist struggle. In addition to the continuing troubles in Afghanistan and Kashmir, the 1990s have seen warfare in Bosnia, Kosovo, Chechnya, and parts of Indonesia (most prominently East Timor). All this brought about a transfer of the main Islamist struggle from the Arab world to the margins of the Middle East. Afghanistan has become the meeting point between the Arab Islamists and their Asian colleagues in the developing globalization of the Islamic radical struggle.

56610. The Israeli Arabs And Lebanon: A New Phase?
The sudden death of Syrian president Hafiz al-Asad on June 10 added confusion and uncertainty to the relations among Syria, Israel, and Lebanon—relations that were already in flux after Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon. One unexpected result may be increased politicization of the Israeli Arabs in northern Israel.

American Physical Society announces "Outstanding Referees" for 2017
We are delighted to announce that Dr Ginestra Bianconi, Reader in Applied Mathematics in the School of Mathematical Sciences, is among the 150 Outstanding Referees for 2017 selected by the American Physical Society (APS) for having demonstrated exceptional work in the assessment of manuscripts published in the Physical Review journals.
Instituted in 2008, the Outstanding Referee program annually recognizes approximately 150 of the currently active referees for their invaluable work. Comparable to Fellowship in the APS and other organizations, this is a lifetime award. The selection this year was made from 30 years of records on over 57,000 referees who have been called upon to review manuscripts, including more than 35,000 that were submitted in 2016. The basis for the Outstanding Referees selection takes into account the quality, number and timeliness of a referee's reports, without regard for membership in the APS, country of origin, or field of research. Individuals with current or very recent direct connections to the journals, such as editors and editorial board members, were excluded.
More details and a full list of the Outstanding Referees is available here(link is external).

By Nikki Leigh	 On Dec 15, 2010
Denise Richards has a new man and he's the last guy I would have ever pictured her with. Motley Crue's bassist, Nikki Sixx has won her over and they are an official item.
A source says they "have been neighbors for years. They have a lot in common and are taking things slowly."
They are already going public though. They had breakfast at Marmalade Cafe in Calabasas, California on Sunday morning.
"Nikki was telling stories, and Denise was laughing," says a witness.
So what happens when it doesn't work out? Does someone have to move? I'm just saying… Denise doesn't have the best track record. Richie Sambora, Charlie Sheen, now Nikki Sixx.

Aruna Off Carbon is the current blade of the JOOLA top star, which he already used at his sensational performance over the last few years!
Aruna Off is the current blade of the JOOLA top star, which he already used at his sensational performance at the World Cup 2014 in Düsseldorf. Ideal feedback for a good ball feeling and high controllability are the major features. Despite this, the 7-ply blade still increases rotation at topspin in an ideal way. The Aruna Off also has the necessary power for maximum speed because of its modern carbon technology.
RHYZM-P – on the market for 2 years and already nearly a classic! The focus fell on development and improvement of the sponge up until now, whereas here a much improved rubber surface has been precisely worked upon. This has leaded to the rubber having substantially more grip, with which not only more spin can be generated, but also better control and the durability is improved. Ideal also for use with the new Plastic ball.
Below you can see a video of the style that Aruna Quadri plays, for which the blade and combination is designed.

FRA: IFC Investment will Establish Sustainable Approach in Indonesian
The International Finance Corporation's (IFC) country manager for Indonesia, Adam Sack, has spoken about plans to invest some US$500 million in the coming financial year into various projects, including sustainable forestry programs.
Seattle, WA, August 13, 2011 -- The International Finance Corporation's (IFC) country manager for Indonesia, Adam Sack, has spoken about plans to invest some US$500 million in the coming financial year into various projects, including sustainable forestry programs.
Forestry Research Associates (FRA), a research and analysis consultancy, claims the investment will help to support a change in attitudes towards sustainable forestry in Indonesia, aiding the protection of the nation's valuable forests. "This investment will help to establish managed forestry as a valid industry in Indonesia, underlining the fact that it makes more sense in the long run to protect the forestry industry for many generations to come by managing logging in a sustainable way," stated FRA's analysis partner, Peter Collins.
Mr Sack explained that much of the money will go towards establishing private sector partnerships with firms that have the country's interests at heart. He said that with regard to sustainable forestry and agribusiness – one of the major investment areas – "There's a number of potential partners to whom we are committed to serve with long-term capital."
The financial impact of the investment is expected to be far-reaching, creating business opportunities and jobs within sectors such as forestry, agriculture and infrastructure. The IFC's regional director, Sergio Pimenta, said, "We expect to support 72,000 jobs, reach 157,000 farmers and facilitate loans to micro, small and medium enterprises worth around $12.3 billion."
Indonesia is home to massive areas of forested land and the trees growing in the South East Asian country are essential to the protection of the earth's climate as they absorb carbon dioxide and emit oxygen. This helps to reduce the amount of harmful gases being released into the atmosphere, offering Indonesia the potential to make money through carbon trading initiatives.
"Managed sustainable forestry is all about ensuring people realize that trees have a value when they are still standing as well as when they are felled and turned into timber products," explained Mr Collins. He added that projects such as the plantations operated by Greenwood Management in Brazil help to attract investment and assist in validating this new approach to forestry management in emerging economies.

"IT WAS LIKE HE ADDED A MUSCLE TO MY ARM!"
I got a shoulder injury the week before and had trouble just lifting my arm to wash my hair. I went to my athletic trainer, and he put MuscleAidTape on me, and it was like he added a muscle to my arm!
I was able to lift my arm with only slight discomfort and played that next week.

Onesies – 5×9 – Dracula: The Series (1990)
Hot Millions (1968, Eric Till)
Hot Millions is an entirely amiable, often charming light comedy about career embezzler Peter Ustinov's attempt to keep embezzling in the computer age. The film starts with Ustinov getting out of prison, late for his exit because he's busy doing the warden's taxes. He was caught by the computer last time, and he's out to show them what for. Ustinov co-wrote Millions with Ira Wallach, and the film's first half showcases him. It changes once…
Catwoman (2002) #8
Batman doesn't appear in this issue, but he really ought to be here somewhere. What with the cops moving a bunch of heroin through the city to make a deal with the Russians. One would think the Darkknight Detective would give a shit. But he apparently does not. It's hilarious how bad Batman is at his job. Anyway. Enough about useless white men and on to the awesome ones. Writer Ed Brubaker, penciler Brad Rader,…
Black Panther (1998) #2
The misadventures of Everett K. Ross continue, with writer Priest still hopping around the flashbacks to give the most bang for the two and a half bucks. It starts with Mephisto, last issue's hilarious and extra cliffhanger. For some reason, Mephisto's waiting for T'Challa; Ross (and Priest) don't tell us (or Nikki, Ross's boss, who he's debriefing). Instead, we get these occasional check-ins on the odd couple sitting on a couch, Ross without any pants…

Infinity 8: Volume Six: Ultimate Knowledge (2018)
Much of Ultimate Knowledge is the best-written Infinity 8 has been so far, and Infinity 8 has been exceptionally well-written so far. But this volume pairs an odder couple than usual, so there's constant banter. The partner is also a know-it-all, verbose historian, and he's always got something to say about whatever they're experiencing (or running from). The volume opens introducing the historian—Bert—and the agent, Leila Sharad. Also, more than any of the other volumes,…
Legion of Super-Heroes (1980) #264
Turns out the only time Wildfire isn't a raging asshole is when he's ostensibly worried about his kidnapped parents. Either I forgot, didn't realize, or didn't care his parents had gotten taken last issue. They didn't stand out (I think some parents got kidnapped off-page) because they weren't assholes like their kid. It's a really weird failing for writer Gerry Conway, who can write Wildfire freaking out about someone not saying hello to him, but…
Do a Powerbomb (2022) #2
Well, despite being curious about something related to the issue's Brobdingnagian last page reveal when creator Daniel Warren Johnson set it up last issue… I can't remember the last time I've been as surprised by a comic. It's a perfectly solid narrative choice but also entirely unexpected. Johnson started Powerbomb last issue doing one comic, then changed to another, then another. So now he's on to a fourth–or at least a three and a half.…
Tomb of Dracula (1972) #31
The "Taj in India" C plot has been running seven issues, so half a year, and it's just now getting to him staking his vampire son. The cover shows Taj thrilled to do it and the wife begging him to stop; the interior's the opposite; the entire point of Taj going home was to stake the kid before the villagers do it. And to slap his wife around for being… a woman, basically. Anyway. Writer…
Absolution (2022) #2
I'm unsurprised to see writer Peter Milligan downshift Absolution's pace this issue. The action opens on streaming assassin Nina finishing her outing from last issue and quickly becomes about establishing the actual ground situation. First issue, Milligan did the world set-up; now it's time to lay out Nina's "normal" life. While the action might open on Nina, the issue starts with a yucky one-page scene introducing one of Nina's fans, a masseuse coerced by a…
War Story: D-Day Dodgers (2001)
D-Day Dodgers ends with a ten-page series of splash pages, with artist John Higgins moving through a battlefield, a poem accompanying the imagery. The poem, "The Ballad of the D-Day Dodgers," is from an unknown author. Higgins's pages tie the poem's lines to the various characters we've met throughout the issue, which is a fairly standard war story until the "D-Day Dodgers" plot point arrives. Writer Garth Ennis's opening text block informs the reader of…
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000, Joel Coen)
O Brother, Where Art Thou? is a frustrating, adequate success. There's some excellent filmmaking and even better performances. Still, the Coen Brothers' adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey is at times too stringent and, at other times, narrative spaghetti on the wall. The falling pieces are co-stars John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson, who spend the first half of the movie establishing themselves and seemingly firmly affixed, only to drop. The film's got three creative impulses:…
709 Meridian – 7×6 – On Deadly Ground (1994)
Mamo (2021) #1
Creator Sas Milledge is masterful when it comes to introspection. Despite Mamo often being full of expository dialogue, it's about the characters when they're not talking, why they're not talking, what they're thinking about instead, and so on. Just like most of the book, it's understated, thoughtful, and fantastic. The issue begins with teenager Jo riding her bike out to the seaside cliffs to consult the town witch. It's windy, and the trees are swaying,…
Werewolf by Night (1972) #27
There are numerous things to talk about this issue, but the teaser for next issue muscles them all out. Next issue is Lissa's eighteenth birthday, an event the series has been promising for twenty issues and three years. I'm not taking the teaser as a promise, especially when writer Doug Moench is so comfortable retconning. The biggest official retcon is Jack remembering Wolfman Jack's adventures. It's always been a problem for the book, which has…
The Terminator (1988) #1
If I knew there was a licensed Terminator monthly from the late eighties, I'd forgotten. I knew there was the Burning Earth limited (which concludes the NOW Comics license, with Terminator then headed to Dark Horse), but I didn't remember there was a regular series. Though after one issue, it's got squat to do with The Terminator. Outside the very obvious—the near future humans talk about Skynet all the time—the comic's its own thing. I…
House of Bamboo (1955, Samuel Fuller)
I had a variety of ways I was going to open this post. I was going to make a Robert Palmer reference for my apparent target demographic (it would have read: Director Fuller has cranes and knows how to use them). Except it turns out… Fuller didn't have a dozen cranes roaming the Tokyo streets. He shot it on a minimal budget for locations, and the city shots were done guerilla without permits. It's okay,…
Last issue ended with Holly, on assignment from Selina (but maybe a little too gung ho), shot by dirty cops. This issue opens with them approaching; luckily, Selina gets there in time. Selina rushes Holly to Leslie Thompkins's clinic and reveals she knew Holly was a recovering addict this whole time. As Leslie gets to operating, Selina takes the scant information she's got—Holly was trailing an undercover narc before seeing some cops kill him—and heads…
I remembered Priest and Mark Texeira's Black Panther being good, but I didn't remember it being a comedy. I also didn't remember Black man Priest writing it for the white audience.

Ross admits he's wrong real quick. He narrates the story, possibly as a report…

The Ace Family's Foreclosed Mansion Finally Hits the Market
Ghislaine Maxwell ends fight to keep eight 'John Does' secret, court to decide whether names should be unsealed
Oh, what a tangled web they've woven! After months of denying the reports, YouTube's endlessly controversial ACE Family — comprised of married super-influencers Austin McBroom and Catherine McBroom (née Dolores Paiz), plus their three young children — finally admitted to losing their California mega-mansion to the hungry jaws of foreclosure.
In late November, the McBrooms released an hour-long YouTube video explaining the circumstances that led them to acquire and eventually default on the flawed property. Per the couple, it was a cabal of unscrupulous people — an unlicensed contractor, a shady architect and even their own realtor — who "screwed [Austin and me]" out of "millions of dollars."
That video went viral, and has since racked up nearly 4.5 million views, though it's been met with decidedly mixed reactions. While the family's longtime fans rallied around them, various other YouTubers and creators were far more harsh, releasing spoofs and compiling evidence to dispute some of the McBrooms' head-scratching claims.
The empty house has now been put up for grabs as a foreclosure sale, presumably because the lenders would like to recoup some of their losses. Though the current listing bravely sidesteps mentioning any of the mansion's problems, there are many — and the McBrooms were only too happy to expose all the construction defects in their video. Per the family, there are multiple water leaks, uneven and improperly grouted floors, and a swimming pool that doesn't actually hold water — and that's just for starters. The house also has (had?) no gas or hot water; Catherine claimed she was forced to "give my babies cold baths" for an extended period of time. How or when that troubling situation was remedied remains unclear.

Some diamonds can best be described as 'out of the world' and quite literally so! We're talking about and exquisite gem that owes its formation to an asteroid that hit the earth approximately 2.6 billion years ago. Yes, you read that right!
Christened 'Enigma,' the 555.55-carat black diamond is also ranked among the largest and toughest diamonds in the world. Describing it, Sotheby's jewelry specialist Sophie Stevens said, 'It is very different.
"The shape of the diamond is based on the Middle Eastern palm symbol of the Khamsa, which stands for strength and … protection," she further added while noting that Khamsa means five in Arabic, and hence there's a nice theme of the number five running throughout the diamond.
Commenting similarly, Nikita Binani, jewelry specialist and head of sale at Sotheby's London, noted, " 'The Enigma' is a marvel of rarity and size, and its brilliance and high polish are a testament to the delicate and highly skilled undertaking of diamond cutting,"
She further said, "Its sale represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire one of the rarest, billion-year-old cosmic wonders known to humankind." While it has never been in the public eye before, the Enigma was recently displayed at the Sotheby's Dubai gallery in Dubai for the first time.
The gem has been named the largest cut diamond in the world by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2006, which further solicits its worth. It will be auctioned in February at an estimated price ranging between $4.1 million and $6.8 million, with Sotheby's also accepting cryptocurrency for it.

Trump-related news is not always serious business or its downfall; sometimes, Trump-related news can be romantic. Thanks to Donald Trump's youngest offspring Tiffany Trump who has been all about love, romance, engagement, and more, we get to see a more pleasing angle involving the Trump name. The stunning 28-year-old law graduate recently gave fans a dose of love amid depressing omicron surge news with a never-before-seen photo with her billionaire fiancé Michael Boulos. Michael Boulos, 23, heir to a billion-dollar fortune proposed to Tiffany with a gorgeous $1.2 million engagement ring in the White House Rose Garden last year. Tiffany shared this photo to mark their proposal anniversary.
Via Instagram / @tiffanytrump
What better way to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the moment Michael popped the question than by posting a pair of snaps of the couple? In the two love-filled images shared, the first shows Michael getting down on one knee to pop the question to his long-time girlfriend, and the second marks their happy moment that seals the deal with a kiss of love. Tiffany Trump's post on Instagram has got close to 90,000 likes in a day (at the time of writing) and she sweetly captioned the images,' One year down forever to go.' Michael Boulos also showed some love on his social media by posting the same photo, writing, 'Happy anniversary to the love of my life!' The couple made their romance Instagram official when Tiffany posted a picture of the couple posing in front of a Christmas tree inside the White House's Red Room.
Via Instagram / @tiffanytrump. Tiffany Trump and Michael at Mar-a-lago.
Tiffany's mother, Donald Trump's second wife, Marla Maples, also commented on her future son-in-law's post. She commented, 'You are so loved.' A year has passed since the engagement, and it is only a matter of time a glitzy Trump-Boulos wedding starts taking shape. The upcoming nuptials are expected to be no expense spared affair suggesting the youngest Trump kid and Boulos will have two big deal weddings. They both want to marry in a big ceremony, which will have all elements of your primary international spectacle. Many speculate the wedding will be held at Mar-a-Lago, owned by former President Trump, and would make for a lavish summertime wedding.

Investigation proves Pfizer vaccine offers less than 1% protection against COVID-19


Thanks man! I couldn't tell which USB drive of mine was 7 or 8!
If you want to use the same method for checking a Windows 8 ISO, you can replace "install.wim" with "install.esd".
Sorry, disregard the previous comment. I meant: replace "install.wim" with "boot.wim".
You also can change "/index:1" to "/index:2".. "/index:3" and etc to check if there is also another version of windows inside the same ISO file.
Great solution, just what I needed. Thanks mate!
I checked Windows 10 iso for build number 10586.
I successfully update Windows 10 to build 10586.
Thanks mate, although it did't work in my case (Win 10) at first. But when I changed install.wim to install.esd, than it worked.
Is there a way to figure out the OEM vs Retail type on a Win 7 installation disk/iso?
Thanks! It was great! Really helped me with Windows 10 edition.

Corporate Social Responsibility & Gun Violence Prevention
Saving lives from gun violence isn't only the responsibility of politicians or private citizens—more and more, companies are showing the courage to fight for a safer America.
New research from Giffords and Global Strategy Group demonstrates the importance of corporations taking clear, decisive action on the social and public health issues that matter most to their customers.
With close to 40,000 people dying in shootings every year, gun violence touches every corner of the country. Americans are demanding an end to this preventable crisis. Consumers want the private sector to step up and do their part to spark political and cultural change—and they'll reward the companies that have the empathy and foresight to do what's right.
Americans are committed to fighting gun violence, and they expect the companies they support to make the same commitment to justice and public safety. To join Giffords as a corporate partner, email our team at development@giffords.org.
Getting off the Sidelines
Our research surveyed American adults nationwide, delving into their views on gun violence and businesses' responsibility to help make their communities safer. In particular, we found:
Americans overwhelmingly believe companies have the power and responsibility to influence social change. For many years, data has shown that Americans want to be patrons of companies with values that match their own, and they're eager to see companies take stances on political issues. The ones that don't may be left behind.
They want companies to commit to reducing gun violence. Americans care deeply about few issues as they do about reducing gun violence. Committing to gun safety can help bring in new employees and consumers, and retain current ones, with very low risk of backlash.
Partnering with Giffords can strengthen these actions. Companies that partner with Giffords not only show that they are taking this issue seriously and trying to make meaningful change, but also reap greater rewards.
As gun violence rises across America, hitting rates not seen in 40 years, the urgency to take action grows stronger. Companies have the platform and the resources to help turn those numbers around. Not only is doing so the right thing to do—it will only only help their business. Our research shows without a doubt that the time is now to join in the fight for gun safety.
Americans view the private sector's responsibility as even greater when government is failing to meet our biggest challenges.
Eight in 10 people believe companies should take action to address important issues facing society.
Nine in 10 people believe companies should have a core set of values built into their business models.
It's past time to dispel the myth that commonsense gun safety reforms are polarizing, especially when it comes to corporate responsibility.
Nearly 85% of Americans believe businesses have a responsibility to make their communities safer.
Seven in 10 people say they would feel more favorably towards a company that partnered with gun violence prevention organizations to raise awareness.
Consumers expect companies to take a stand on gun safety, and a majority of employees believe that their employers have a role to play in ending this crisis.
Polling shows that more than half of American consumers, and nearly 7 in 10 millennials, would be more interested in buying products from companies that are actively working to reduce gun violence as opposed to companies that aren't.
Americans are 10 times more likely to buy because a company committed to reducing gun violence than they are to boycott because of it.
Americans trust survivors like Gabby Giffords to make meaningful change and want to see companies partner with us.
Nearly 8 in 10 Americans say they would be proud to work for a company that plays an active part in finding a solution to gun violence.
Americans would rather see companies take direct action and partner with gun violence prevention organizations than establish their own initiatives.
As our research makes abundantly clear, corporate social responsibility is increasingly important to consumers. Gun safety is a winning issue not just for politicians, but also for any companies that want to demonstrate that they care about the health, safety, and well-being of the American people—not just their bottom line.
There are plenty of ways for civic-minded corporations to get involved. Levi Strauss & Co. has championed federal background check legislation. TOMS has funded advocacy groups and violence intervention programs. PayPal has backed new research into gun violence, and Citi has made it harder for people who fail background checks to purchase guns illegally. It's time other companies follow their lead.
Giffords is here to help you make the impact best suited to your company.
If you're part of a corporation that wants to get more involved in the fight to save lives, email our team at development@giffords.org.
OF COURAGE
In 2011, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head while meeting with constituents in Tucson, Arizona. In the face of adversity and opposition, she's inspired millions to fight for a safer America, one free from gun violence.

Call our termite control experts at (909) 748-5246 today!
Are you aware that there are more than 2,000 types of termites in the world? Luckily there are only a few main types that inhabit the Yucaipa area and that you need to be aware of. It's our job to know the many different types and to treat the type of termite taking over your property.
Termites can cause structural damage becoming a threatening pest to have but some are beneficial because they recycle plant and wood material. Unfortunately, when they aren't recycling the plant and wood material we don't need, they are working on recycling the material we do need. This is when it is time to call our termite control experts to help you remove the threat.
Winged termites are often found in homes and can be a sign of an infestation nearby if you notice them coming from the foundation of your home or adjoining patios and porches. Winged termites have been mistaken for ants before and can be a costly mistake.
You might also notice mud tunnels or tubes on foundation walls on the exterior of the home. They can also be spotted on support beams, floor joists and the like. These tunnels are shelter for the termites and to be sure there is an infestation on your property you can break one open to see if white worker termites are inside.
Vacant tubes can be the aftermath of a previous termite infestation or it could mean that the termites are simply elsewhere at the moment. Don't disregard a termite inspection if you find empty mud tunnels; call our termite control experts to make an official determination of termite activity.
If you believe there are termites in your home give our Yucaipa termite removal experts a call at (909) 748-5246 to schedule your inspection. Have a question? We can help you find the answer; don't delay and call us today!

The Medusa Kodi addon finds tons of great classic films and TV show episodes freely available online.
Aside from those, it also finds free versions of very recent episodes of your favorite shows and even films that are still in the theater.
Please note that not all of these may not be properly licensed for distribution in your area. Some free streaming movies and TV shows found by Medusa may even be illegal to stream or watch in many parts of the world, so be careful.
Note that if running Kodi 18 Leia, you'll also be prompted with a list of add-on dependencies to be installed alongside Medusa. Simply click OK to get the ball rolling on your new Medusa Kodi addon installation.
Since Kodi version 17 Krypton was first released, we must first change some internal security settings. These settings must be changed before any third-party addons such as Medusa can be installed. If you haven't already done this, check our quick Enable Unknown Sources in Kodi article to get this done. The article also has a few other privacy tips to secure your Kodi system.
On the Kodi home screen, click the System icon.
Type the URL https://uk1.site/Repo into the text field then double check the URL for errors. If correct, then click OK.
Enter a name for this media source such as uk1 here.
If running Kodi 18 Leia, jump back to Settings by clicking the back button on your Fire TV remote… or whatever remote control you're using, then click Add-ons.
If you've not yet updated and Kodi 17.6 Krypton is still your drug of choice, head to the Kodi home screen once more and click the Add-ons menu item. Then, click on the Package Manager icon.
Click the uk1 repository source location.
Now, click the repository.uk1-X.X.X.zip file to install the UK1 Repo.
Once the uk1 Add-on installed message appears, move on to the Medusa installation.
Now, click Install from Repository on the same screen.
Click on the uk1 Repository.
Next, click on Video add-ons.
Click on the Medusa item.
To finish the installation of Medusa on Kodi, click the Install button.
If using Kodi 18 Leia, you'll get a prompt listing dependencies (additional Kodi helper add-ons) that are required to be installed along with Medusa. Click OK to get Medusa installed.
Once you get the Medusa Add-on installed notice, all that's left to do is fire up your IPVanish VPN app and watch a show anonymously in the comfort of your newly updated home theater!
Much like Neptune Rising, Medusa seems to be a fork of the very popular Poseidon Kodi addon. While Poseidon stopped working long ago when abandoned by its developer, Medusa and other high-quality forks keep the spirit alive and even enhance upon it.
One great aspect of the Medusa addon is the speed of its navigation system. Moving from one category to another when hunting for the perfect movie to watch takes no time at all. The way streams are fetched online and then played back is also improved upon. Medusa seems to make your chosen video playback happen almost instantly.
Medusa works great with your Real-Debrid account if you have one to provide tons of super-fast streams with no buffering. The greatest thing about Medusa Kodi addon is that you really don't need a premium account to get great streams. Medusa finds so many streams free online that you can watch 1080p or lower movies and TV shows with no problem as long as you have your VPN hooked up.
Medusa provides a huge catalog of on-demand movies and TV shows along with some choice sports replays. This addon belongs in any list of best Kodi addons for its fantastic assortment of video streams wonderfully free of obstacles.

A: The idea is that Select() returns a PXResultset of the main DAC. You can then loop over this and cast to the joined DACs.
Here is an example :
// The static Select() method is called to execute a BQL command.
PXResultset<OrderDetail> result =
    PXSelectJoin<OrderDetail, InnerJoin<SalesOrder,
        On<SalesOrder.orderNbr, Equal<OrderDetail.orderNbr>>>>.Select(this);

// Iterating over the result set:
// PXResult should be specialized with the DACs of all joined tables
// to be able to cast to these DACs.
foreach(PXResult<OrderDetail, SalesOrder> record in result)
{
    // Casting a result set record to the OrderDetail DAC:
    OrderDetail detail = (OrderDetail)record;
    // Casting a result set record to the SalesOrder DAC:
    SalesOrder order = (SalesOrder)record;
    ...
}

A: Look at the type that is inferred when you use var:

'a' is of type 'PXResultset < ARSalesPerTran > ' in this example
If I were to assign it to another variable 'b' of a different type like 'PXResultset < ARSalesPerTran, ARSalesPerTranExt, ARRegister > ' the compiler will report that it can't implicitly cast 'PXResultset < ARSalesPerTran > ' to 'PXResult < ARSalesPerTran, ARSalesPerTranExt, ARRegister > '.
PXResult<ARSalesPerTran, ARSalesPerTranExt, ARRegister> b = a;

However the compiler will allow an explicit cast:
PXResult<ARSalesPerTran, ARSalesPerTranExt, ARRegister> b = (PXResult< ARSalesPerTran, ARSalesPerTranExt, ARRegister>)a;

In a nutshell, this is related to an artifact of C# inferred type system (var) rather than an Acumatica feature.


The methodology known as Lean Healthcare helps a health organization to improve in order to provide extraordinary experiences for the customer. The extensive experience gleaned throughout the world in the implementation of Lean Healthcare reveals that an organization that successfully implements the methodology dramatically improves the satisfaction of its customers (patients) and workers (care providers) and its operations (quality, security, profitability, and more).
In a healthcare organization composed of different sectors and different departments that must cooperate in harmony, there is extensive natural waste that is not taken care of, and when the work is observed as a cross-section, (which is the point of view of the customer-patient) it is possible to identify the waste and to deal with it. By mapping the major medical processes (value flow) in the organization, and through their constant improvement in PDCA cycles, the cross-sector teams, composed of doctors, nurses, managers, maintenance workers and technologists are able to create significant change in the way in which work is carried out, without any investment or addition of significant resources.
Last year, the Lean Global Network launched an initiative to leverage the knowledge of our institutes to positively impact the healthcare industry. Watch an interview with Alice Lee, Flávio Battaglia and Oriol Cuatrecasas on the initiative.

People in both developed and developing countries face a variety of unexpected events. Large scale natural and manmade disasters generate the most devastating outcomes. Based on household micro-data, Professor Yasuyuki Sawada will compare two manmade disasters, the 1997-98 financial crises in Korea and Japan as well as two natural disasters in Japan, the Great Hanshin Awaji (Kobe) earthquake in 1995 and Chuetsu earthquake in 2004. The impact of each disaster on household welfare is differentiated due to heterogenous conditions. While the financial crises affect both Korean and Japanese households seriously, the magnitude of welfare impacts is much higher in Korea than in Japan. Intriguingly, in both Kobe and Chuetsu, the means for coping are specific to the nature of shocks caused by the earthquakes.
Yasuyuki Sawada is a professor in the Faculty of Economics at the University of Tokyo. He has been a Visiting Researcher of the JICA Research Institute (JICA-RI); Faculty Fellow of the Research Institute of Economy, Trade, and Industry (RIETI), a Visiting Fellow to the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS), and a member of intergovernmental Joint Research Project on a New Era of Japan-Korea Relations. His research interests include econometric investigations of individual, household and firm behaviours under risks using micro-data from developing and developed countries such as China, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and Japan. Recently, he has been investigating the impacts of natural disasters on household welfare including the Sichuan, Kobe, Chuetsu, and Tohoku earthquakes, the Asian Tsunami disaster, Typhoon Milenyo in the Philippines, and avian influenza in Vietnam.
This seminar is presented by the Australia-Japan Research Centre at the Crawford School of Public Policy.

Abstract: sRNA were extracted from postmitochondrial fraction of rat sceletal muscles by the phenol method. Their yield, physico-chemical properties and acceptor activity during postmortal destruction were studied. Within 2 days after the death yield of sRNA was decreased by 18-20% with maintenance of the physico-chemical properties studied. At the same time the acceptor activity (towards 4 amino acids) was distinctly decreased. For various amino acids correlation between a decrease in the acceptor activity and the time of autolysis was different. Three peaks of radioactivity were observed when 14C-phenyl-alanine-sRNA was fractionated on DEAE-Sephadex A-25; two of them were distinctly decreased after 24 hrs autolysis but the third one was maintained almost without alterations. The data obtained suggest that separate types of sRNA are degraded selectively at early steps of postmortal autolysis.

Biochar is the residue remaining when biomass (wood, paper, grasses, manure, other compostable biomatter, yard waste, etc.) is burned without enough oxygen available to allow for complete combustion (a process called pyrolysis).
Long advocated by some as a potentially important, carbon negative, waste disposal methodology capable of turning waste into a valuable product, biochar has attracted the attention of both university and government sponsored researchers over the past several years. Academic research, as the result of hundreds of recent studies, is demonstrating biochar has the potential for very significant, and widely recognized, applications in greenhouse gas reduction strategies, water and soil mediation and remediation projects, forest fire reduction efforts, and agricultural crop enhancement approaches. Internationally renowned investment consultants are projecting double digit growth in the market for biochar worldwide for the next several years, and new companies are overcoming the challenges of manufacturing the product in economical and environmentally sensitive ways. In the future, the waste disposal and waste products industry is likely to be profoundly, impacted both financially and structurally as the potential uses for biochar are better understood and products based on those uses support a rapidly growing, and sustainable, marketplace.


First you learned (back in grammar school) that you can add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers. Then you learned that you can add, subtract, multiply, and divide polynomials. Now you will learn that you can also add, subtract, multiply, and divide functions. Performing these operations on functions is no more complicated than the notation itself. For instance, when they give you the formulas for two functions and tell you to find the sum, all they're telling you to do is add the two formulas. There's nothing more to this topic than that, other than perhaps some simplification of the expressions involved.
Given f (x) = 3x + 2 and g(x) = 4 – 5x, find (f + g)(x), (f – g)(x), (f × g)(x), and (f / g)(x).
To find the answers, all I have to do is apply the operations (plus, minus, times, and divide) that they tell me to, in the order that they tell me to.
My answer is the neat listing of each of my results, clearly labelled as to which is which.
Given f (x) = 2x, g(x) = x + 4, and h(x) = 5 – x3, find (f + g)(2), (h – g)(2), (f × h)(2), and (h / g)(2).
If you work symbolically first, and plug in the x-value only at the end, you'll still get the same results. Either way will work. Evaluating first is usually easier, but the choice is up to you.
This isn't really a functions-operations question, but something like this often arises in the functions-operations context. This looks much worse than it is, as long as I'm willing to take the time and be careful.
The simplest way for me to proceed with this exercise is to work in pieces, simplifying as I go; then I'll put everything together and simplify at the end.
That's pretty much all there is to "operations on functions" until you get to function composition. Don't let the notation for this topic worry you; it means nothing more than exactly what it says: add, subtract, multiply, or divide; then simplify and evaluate as necessary. Don't overthink this. It really is this simple.
Oh, and that last example? They put that in there so you can "practice" stuff you'll be doing in calculus. You likely won't remember this by the time you actually get to calculus, but you'll follow a very similar process for finding something called "derivatives".

Amsterdam's top tourist destination in the 17th Century
These days, the one district of Amsterdam that every tourist is likely to head to first is the Red Light District. The thing is infamous and has been for well over 500 years, when lonely (if that's what you want to call it) sailors wandered off ships at the neighboring docks looking for someone to provide a little distraction for a few minutes. These days, the District is just a 10 minute walk from the main train station, so modern-day tourists frequently wander through Red Light District and its one-of-a-kind window shopping. And if that's not your thing, there's always its coffee shops.
Back in the Golden Age, sailors and their company aside, the big tourist draw of the day wasn't the Red Light District but another quarter of the city: the Jewish Quarter. Tourists from England, Germany and France were amazed to see that Amsterdam not only allowed Jews to live their lives freely and openly, but that the Sephardic community here was affluent, educated and cultured — in contrast to Jewish communities they may have seen elsewhere. These tourists often wrote about what they saw, giving us a unique perspective on how the Portuguese Sephardic community of the 17th Century was perceived by its neighbors.
By way of comparison
Interior of the Portuguese Synagogue, Jean-Baptist Tetar Van Elven
To really understand the impression the Amsterdam Sephardic community made on its visitors, it helps to understand the perceptions Europe's Christian community generally had of its Jewish neighbors in general, and the experiences tourists had when they encountered these communities when traveling abroad. Information below comes from Yosef Kaplan's article "Amsterdam's Jewry as Perceived by English Tourists and Other Christian Visitors in the Seventeenth Century"
Before the Early Modern Era, which dawned with the Dutch Golden Age, it was utterly common for Jews to be segregated from the Christians they lived amongst, either by being locked up in ghettos, by being required to wear distinguishing clothes or by being subjected to discriminatory laws. In Frankfort, Germany, for example, not only was" the Jewish community locked up in its own section of town, but both men and women were forced to wear a yellow badge on their clothing, demeaning headgear and a distinguishing collar.
And that was a county where Jews were permitted to live. England was closed to Jews and so was France, at least officially, as the Netherlands climbed in ascendency. Spain and Portugal had just kicked out its Jewish populations. Further to the east, the first pogroms were gearing up, driving many Jewish families westward in search of a safe haven.
In the places where Jews did live, visitors often portrayed them in an unflattering light.
English traveler and naturalist wasn't impressed with what he saw of the Jewish community in Avignon, which is now France but was then a Papal land. Of the Jewish Quarter there, he wrote:
distinct from the rest of the Town, and easily found out by the smell, being the most sordid part of the City . . . nor is it the Streets alone that are thus fill'd with Dirt, their Houses within are as filthy and ill-housewis'd.
Other commentators were less generous, from the reviewer who said that Jews "smelled like garlic" to Englishman Sir Thomas Roe, who said that
The Jews are said to have a Marke upon them of infamie; the Men et Women are both said to looke paler et more-dead like then other people et it is certain that all their Women have a vile smel which is like carrion which cometh from their head et nose.
Well!!!
Not like the others
Against this backdrop, the Portuguese Sephardic community of Amsterdam stands out all the more. They were wealthy, well-perfumed, polyglot and, well, downright civilized: everything that the Jews encountered in other parts of Europe were not.
Etching of the esnoga, Jan Luyken
According to Roe:
The Jews are here allowed the free and open exercise of their religious worship. They live together in one quarter of the city, and are said to be in number about 20,000 souls. They are in better condition, and richer, than in most places where they are tolerated . . .
He was wrong on one count. In fact, the Jewish community at the time numbered just 5,000 at most. Kaplan suggests that it may be that the Portuguese were so visible in such prominent sectors of society that made their community seem large than it was.
Philip Skippon, a 22-year-old student who accompanied Roe on his journey, made his own observations about the Bourse, the famous Exchange building in Amsterdam that is sometimes called the world's first stock exchange. "Men of several nations resort hither, but the most frequent strangers are the Jews, who fill one walk of the Exchange," he wrote.
Skippon did note that the fabled wealth of the Portuguese Jews was not universal among them, however. Several in their community were poor; moreover, the Ashkenazi Jewish community, at that time smaller than the Sephardic community but rapidly growing, was desperately poor. And Skippon alone noted that sometimes Jews faced verbal abuse in the street because they were different.
But other writers stressed the sameness between the Sephardic Jews and their Dutch neighbors. "The men are most of them of a tawny complection with black hair, some have clearer skins, and are scarce discernable from the Dutch," Skippon wrote.
And sometimes, this was for a good reason. Amsterdam not only was a haven for Jews fleeing persecution on the Iberian Peninsula and Eastern Europe, it had also become a destination for Christians who felt a calling to convert to Judaism. Legally, this was not supposed to happen, and yet it did:
Indeed, at that time Holland was known as a significant center of conversion to Judaism in Europe. Although it was forbidden for the Jews to convert Christians, nevertheless there were quite a few such conversions, especially of people who came from elsewhere. Several English people came to Judaism and were absorbed in one way or another within the Portuguese Jewish community. Some of these converts were buried in the Sephardic cemetery in Ouderkerk in the first decades of the seventeenth century.
Cultured men behaving badly
The men of the Sephardic community were reputed to be educated, cultured and, well, a bit untrustworthy. Sometimes, this naughtiness amounted to run-of-the-mill male privilege run amok, while other times, these rumors turn more ominous.
The Esnoga, Emanuel de Witt
Many visitors remark that the Sephardic men are talented in many languages, which was a necessity of life for them. Generally, they spoke Portuguese at home, Dutch at work, Hebrew at the synagogue and perhaps Spanish when they spoke of literature or the higher arts. For their part, the Portuguese considered themselves to be paragons of civility, far much more so than their Ashkenazic co-religionists.
They were even a bit dapper. Skippon reports that "they carry much perfume about them." So maybe it's not surprising to find out that they also earned a reputation as insatiable ladies' men.
In fact, they became so known for their womanizing of Christian women that the Amsterdam city fathers became alarmed in the early years of the 17th Century. In 1616, a law was passed forbidding absolutely all carnal relations between Jewish men and Christian women — even prostitutes. Not that this seems to have stopped anything. Throughout the century, court cases continued of Christian women suing Jewish men for child support.
A shande for de goyim.
More worryingly, though, were the rumors that spread about Jewish traders manipulating the commodities market by manufacturing, and I kid you not, fake news. This good or bad news would move the price of sugar or silk or other commodities up or down as they liked.
many tymes the Crafty Jewes, and others have contrived to Coine bad newes to make the Actions fall, and good newes to raise them, the which craft of doing at Amsterdam is not taken notice of, which is much to be wondered at, in such a wise Government as Amsterdam is.
Stop me if you've heard that one before.
Where are the women?
But if the men were a wonder to behold, the Portuguese women were … nowhere to be seen. Or, more accurately, they were at home, where they rarely left without a male escort. A holdover, Kaplan says, from the days the Sephardic Jews lived side-by-side with their Moorish neighbors.
Some of the tourists noticed that Sephardic women were hardly present at all in the public sphere, in contrast to the rather prominent presence of Dutch women, and even in contrast to the rather impressive presence of Ashkenazi women, who dealt in a variety of professions and trades, and whom one could encounter in many public places. The Sephardi women always appeared in public accompanied by men, and they never appeared in court alone.
One visitor, Sir William Brereton, quipped of the Sephardic community that "their wives restrained and made prisoners."
Some of the gender division practices were codified into community law. For instance, unmarried women weren't permitted to enter the synagogue except for on Yom Kippur. And for some reason beyond my understanding, apparently some women liked to try to sneak into the synagogue at night, so a rule had to be written to prohibit it.
Finally, Skippon confirmed that the Portuguese Jewish women, like many Orthodox Jewish women today, covered their hair after marriage. "Maids wear their own hair, but after marriage they cut it off and wear locks."
