Now, we know GW was only the beginning for Harris.
Not coincidentally, she chose Jan. 21 to announce her candidacy for the presidency of the United States. Her symbolism was that her announcement fell on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s holiday.
And not coincidentally, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, the man who channeled his inner "Spartacus moment" during the Brett Kavanaugh U.S. Supreme Court hearings and espoused "radical empathy" as part of his campaign platform, announced his presidential candidacy on Feb. 1. His symbolism was that of the first day of Black History Month.
Harris broke the CNN-o-Meter on Jan. 28 in Iowa when she appeared during a town-hall meeting with anchorman Jake Tapper. CNN's ratings with Harris were 75 percent higher than usual for the network's 10 p.m. EST slot. And the under-35 crowd tuned in at almost quadruple the normal viewership — 186,000 to the usual 50,000 in CNN's 10 p.m. hour.
OK, so what else do we know about Kamala Harris?
—She is the child of an Asian Indian mother and black Jamaican father, both of whom were immigrants.
—She emanates energy and charisma.
Some have labeled Harris and Booker as Barack Obama copycats. Obama Lite, if you will. That Obama comparison could be both a blessing and a curse.
Notice both Harris and Booker rushed in warp-speed form to condemn Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, a fellow Democrat embroiled in a bizarre blackface/Ku Klux Klan controversy.
Yes, Obama won two terms as the first black president, but many black folk feel he came up short on TRULY helping them in a practical sense. As opposed to simply being a symbolic, uplifting story as a presidential pioneer. That means Harris and Booker have to do more.
Harris danced to rapper Tupac Shakur's "California Love" during the walk-up to the dais from behind the curtains at her GW event. Yes, that book night on GW's campus was fun and festive. But there is a serious, lingering question with Harris: Is she overdoing the black culture routine simply to gain racial identity points with folk of color who may view her through the lens of skepticism?
Will that routine provide her with cover/overcompensation to deflect said skeptics Because you have to figure Harris knows that probable black voters may have at least one possible point of contention with her: Her husband is white.
Douglas Emhoff is a 54-year-old accomplished attorney from the University of Southern California Law School who specializes in entertainment and intellectual property law in California and the District of Columbia. They met on a blind date and have been married for four years.
Why do we broach the subject of her interracial marriage? Because Obama also was a biracial candidate, just as Harris. But Obama was married to a brown-skinned, earth-toned woman. And you better believe that union endeared him to many black folk, especially among black women.
That is to say, for Obama, it's no way in hell that he would have garnered 95 percent of the black vote if he had been married to a blond, blue-eyed white woman.
How all of these symbolic issues play out ultimately is up to the 2020 voters, especially those from the black side of town.

1986-1987: France goes off the rails
Submitted by Samotnaf on Jun 20 2009 16:34
Documents about and analysis of the mass workers struggles of students and workers in France from November 1986 to January 1987.
For a dignified and effective demonstration
The following was handed out at a demo against the increase in London's fares by the House of Lords in 1982. At the top were the photos on the left, with the words 'Correct' under the photo of Cliff Richard, and 'Incorrect' under the photo of the wolf.
"Shakespeare was a fake!" horror shock!
A kind of jokey leaflet produced in the autumn of 1984 to be handed out for a performance of Shakespeare's "A Winter's Tale".
The theming of the countryside
The following article, completed in December 2005, is based on the experience of a relatively short stint living in the rural West Country. This will account for some of its limits. For example, conditions in different areas will vary. It is for others who know what is missing here to fill the gaps, for themselves and others, in their own ways.
No forgiveness: Algeria 2001
In June 2001 Algeria experienced almost an insurrection which progressively spread throughout the whole country. There was nothing in the media about this, so this text, with the title "Ulach smah" ("No forgiveness"), was translated from the French in July 2001 as a contribution to breaking the silence.
The photo on the left is of a riot in Algeria at this time.
The following text, written in English by some Greek friends (the TPTG), was published in July 2003 as a discussion document. Though it sometimes has some stodgy ultra-leftist phraseology and thinking, it's generally an extremely interesting summary and analysis of some important aspects of the present epoch such as the ideology of zero tolerance and the dissolution of Keynesianism.
The so-so joke on the left was produced at the end of June 2005
The Despotism of Speed
This was published in the early 90s by someone in or around the Encyclopaedie des Nuisances, at the time of the vast extension of the TGV (fast-speed railway) into all parts of France.
First published in Berkeley,California in the mid-1970s, by someone close to the situationist-influenced group For Ourselves, this takes a brief look at some of the miseries of the couple, taking a swipe at the family and at encounter groups and psychologists on the way.
Looks Like We Got Ourselves A Convoy
Internationally and within the UK, fuel protests come and go, but the one time such protests seriously posed a threat - in many ways unintentionally - to the Economy and the State was in the autumn of 2000 (this is not to say they couldn't also pose a serious challenge in the future, though it seems very unlikely that such a challenge will come from the UK). This is a text written at the time.

Conditions muZEEum
Within reasonable limits, Zeeuws maritiem muZEEum will do everything possible to let the visit to the museum premises and the exhibitions and events organised by the muZEEum progress according to the wishes of the visitor.

- Fever
- Cough
- Runny nose
- Sore throat
- Shortness of breath
If the response to any of the questions above is "yes" then entering the muZEEum is not permitted. Please come again when all answers are "no".
All visitors must be in possession of an e-ticket; also people who do not have to pay an entrance fee (for example Friends of the muZEEum).
Entry tickets purchased online will not be taken back, no refunds will be given.
General regulations: definitions
By 'the museum' and 'the muZEEum' is understood the organisation which manages and operates the museum premises, which includes, but is not restricted to, the executive staff, curators, attendants and other museum officers authorized to act on behalf of this organisation.
By 'the museum premises' is understood the entirety of areas (built up as well as open areas) falling under the legal or management authority of the executive staff of the muZEEum, which includes, but is not restricted to, exhibition rooms, auditoriums and meeting rooms, restaurant, refreshment rooms, terrace, garden, park, other outdoor areas, storage rooms, annexes and outstations.
By 'visitor' is understood anyone who has in any way, directly or indirectly, made an agreement with the muZEEum aimed at entering the museum premises and/or visiting an exhibition or an event organised by the muZEEum for the regular visitor during regular opening hours.
These general Conditions for Visitors are applicable to every agreement between the muZEEum and a visitor. The conditions are not applicable to special events outside regular opening hours and/or which are aimed at other than the regular visitor, for instance in the case of renting rooms and external catering.
Sale of tickets, special offers and prices
All quotations, communications or other information provided by the muZEEum are binding. The muZEEum accepts liability for mistakes made by the museum itself, if any, concerning quotations, communications or other information provided to the visitor. This liability applies only to the museum's own information material that is present in the museum at the moment when liability is claimed, or has been recently disseminated by or on behalf of the muZEEum. The muZEEum is not responsible for mistakes due to wilful intent, culpability or negligence of third parties.
The visitor is at all times obliged to show on demand his admission ticket and any ticket or voucher granting reduced admission to officers recognisable as such, including attendants, but not restricted to these.
The potential visitor is not entitled to restitution of the admission charge or any other compensation in the event of loss or theft of the admission ticket before entering the museum premises.
If a potential visitor does not use his previously bought admission ticket this is for his/her own risk and account; this is also the case if the admission ticket is only valid for a certain time and/or date. An admission ticket cannot be exchanged once it has been issued nor will there be any restitution of the admission charge. The price paid may, however, be restituted if circumstances beyond the buyer's control make it impossible for him/her to make the museum visit, but this is at the executive staff's discretion.
The potential visitor may be denied access to the museum premises if it appears that the admission ticket, the discount ticket or the voucher has not been obtained from the muZEEum or another body authorized by the muZEEum.
The muZEEum will exclusively restitute the actual admission charge and the travelling expenses incurred, if the visitor has to leave the museum premises prematurely due to an unannounced exercise within the framework of the health and safety rules, as well as in the case of a real calamity which necessitates the complete or partial evacuation of the premises.
Actual stay on the museum premises
During their stay on the museum premises visitors should behave properly in accordance with public order, good manners, and the rules of the event being visited. Visitors are also obliged immediately to follow the directions and instructions of the recognisable officers of the muZEEum, including the attendants, but not restricted to them.
If, according to the reasonable judgement of a qualified officer of the muZEEum, who should be recognisable as such, visitors act in any way in contravention of these standards, directions or instructions, they can be denied further entrance to the museum premises without being entitled to any compensation of the cost of the admission charge or other costs incurred, if any.
Parents or supervisors of children are at all times responsible and accountable for the behaviour of the children they accompany. Teachers and supervisors of groups are responsible and accountable for the behaviour of all members of the group they accompany.
The following are, inter alia, forbidden for visitors on the museum premises:
a. to offer for sale or without charge any kind of goods to third parties;
b. to obstruct passage for other people deliberately or to obstruct their view of exhibited objects for a prolonged period;
c. to hinder other visitors, which includes but is not restricted to the use of mobile telephones, walkmen, or other sources of noise nuisance; the use of such equipment may, however, be explicitly allowed in certain areas by the muZEEum;
d. to bring pets or other animals, unless they are explicitly allowed entrance to certain areas or if it concerns guide dogs which accompany a visitor with an identification pass;
e. to smoke in all enclosed areas other than in areas designated for smoking by pictogrammes or text;
f. to bring food and consumptions into the enclosed areas of the museum premises;
g. to bring dangerous objects or substances into the museum premises, which includes but is not restricted to walking sticks, umbrellas or large bags, if considered to be so by a recognisable officer of the muZEEum; these objects may be left at a location designated by the muZEEum;
h. to use wheelchairs, prams and buggies in enclosed areas designated by the muZEEum, other than those made available by the museum;
i. to touch exhibited objects and exhibition material such as showcases, lighting, partitions, etc., unless this is emphatically and explicitly allowed. Parents or supervisors of children should rigorously see to it that exhibited objects are not touched by the children they accompany. Small children should be taken by the hand or be moved in buggies; teachers and supervisors are equally held to see to it that group members under their supervision do not touch exhibited objects.
In special cases which may reasonably be required for the overall security of people or the safety of the collections, an executive officer of the muZEEum, who should be recognisable as such, can ask to inspect (hand) luggage brought along by the visitor. If considered necessary, specially prepared and trained personnel may, moreover, ask the visitor upon entering or leaving the museum premises to cooperate in a security search. The potential visitor will be warned before entering the museum premises that this measure is operative.
It is forbidden to the visitor to make photographic, video or film shots with the use of lamps, flash equipment and tripods, unless previous, written permission is given by the executive staff of the muZEEum , and to make public or reproduce these photographic, video and film shots in whatever way and with whatever medium, which includes electronic media.
Entrance to the museum premises can be denied for good or for a definite period to a visitor who has during one or more previous visits to a Dutch museum deliberately damaged an object or who warrants fear of damage; the museum may in any case subject this visitor to the measures mentioned in section 3.4 of these Conditions for Visitors during all his visits.
The decision to deny access should be made known to this visitor immediately and with explanations, if possible in writing.
Complaints and claims
The muZEEum will do everything possible to let the visit to the museum premises or the exhibitions and events organised by the muZEEum take place according to the published offer; this includes the obligation to inform the public as clearly as possible about total, partial or advanced closure of the museum premises and/or exhibitions organized by the muZEEum . Moreover the muZEEum will inform the potential public about maintenance work which may be a hindrance or the rebuilding or the designing/redesigning of areas. The visitor can never derive the right to compensation for these matters.
Claims can not be made with reference to the following, for the muZEEum unavoidable, complaints and circumstances, and will therefore never lead to any obligation to compensation from the museum to the visitor:
a. complaints referring to objects not being visible from the permanent collection of the muZEEum;
b. complaints referring to the partial closure of the museum premises, which include, but are not restricted to, partial closure as a result of the building or dismantling of exhibitions;
c. complaints and circumstances referring to inconvenience or discomfort caused by other visitors, which include, but are not restricted to, noise nuisance, improper behaviour, theft or molestation;
d. complaints and circumstances referring to nuisance or inconvenience caused by maintenance activities, which include, but are not restricted to, rebuilding or designing/redesigning of areas;
e. complaints and circumstances referring to nuisance or discomfort caused by improper functioning of facilities within the museum premises.
Complaints and requests for claims about the agreement between the muZEEum and the visitor should reach the muZEEum in writing within six weeks after the visit took place. Complaints and requests for compensation submitted after this period will not be dealt with. A complaints form can be obtained with these Conditions for Visitors.
The muZEEum will examine the complaint and reply in writing within 30 days of receipt. If the examination has not yet been completed by that time, this will be communicated to the complainer, together with the expected moment when this will be completed.
The visitor may submit complaints, claims, and suggestions for improvement in writing by completing a form available with these Conditions for Visitors.
Liability of the museum
The muZEEum can never be held responsible for damage due to quotations, information or other information given by the muZEEum and/or third parties to the visitor unless, and in so far as, this damage is the direct result of the wilful intent or gross negligence of the muZEEum and/or its staff.
The visitors' stay on the museum premises is for their own account and risk. The museum is only liable for material or consequential damage suffered by the visitor or injury sustained by the visitor if it is the direct and exclusive result of wilful intent or gross negligence of the museum, on the understanding that only the claim can be compensated for which the museum is insured, or should have been insured in fairness and justice.
In no case is the muZEEum obliged to pay a higher amount in damages than:
a. the actually paid admission charge and the actually incurred travelling expenses or, if this is more,
b. the amount paid by the insurer of the muZEEum to the muZEEum for the amount paid for the damage, or,
c. the compensation obtained from a third party for the damage.
The muZEEum is never liable for damage caused to vehicles of the visitor unless, and in so far as, damage came into being on or within the museum premises and if, and in so far as, this damage is the direct result of the wilful intent or gross negligence of the muZEEum and/or its staff.
The muZEEum is never liable for any direct/indirect damage whatsoever, occasioned as the direct/indirect result of any defect, any quality or circumstance of, in or on any immovable property of which the muZEEum is holder, tenant/hereditary tenant, lessee or owner, or which is otherwise at the disposal of the muZEEum, except if, and in so far as, the damage is the direct result of the wilful intent or gross negligence of the muZEEum and/or its staff.
If the muZEEum accepts goods or if goods are, in whatever way, wherever, by whomever, handed in, kept, and/or left behind without asking the muZEEum for any compensation for them, then the muZEEum is never liable for damage to, or in connection with, goods in whatever way it may have occurred unless the muZEEum has caused deliberate damage or if the damage is the result of gross negligence of the muZEEum.
The total liability of the muZEEum due to imputable shortcomings in observing the visiting agreement is restricted to compensation of direct damage and shall in no case be more than the compensation agreement described under 5.3.
In the case of damage arising from death or bodily injury, the total liability of the muZEEum will never be more than the compensation agreement described under 5.3.
The liability of the muZEEum through indirect damage, including consequential damages, deprivation of profit or wages, missed savings, etc., is excluded.
The maximum amounts mentioned in section 5.3 will, however, be disregarded if, and in so far as, the damage is the result of the wilful intent or gross negligence of the muZEEum or one of its staff.
Force majeure which prevents possible shortcomings caused by it from being claimed from the muZEEum , will apply to any unforeseen circumstance that will make implementation of the agreement by the muZEEum so difficult that temporary or permanent implementation of the agreement will be impossible or difficult.
By such circumstances are also understood circumstances with regard to persons and/or services, and/or institutions which the muZEEum wished to use for the implementation of the visiting conditions, as well as anything that applies to the above-mentioned as force majeure or suspending or dissolving conditions, as well as imputable shortcomings from the above-mentioned.
Lost property found by the visitor on the museum premises can be handed in at the reception.
The muZEEum will do its utmost to trace the owner of the lost property, and to this end will maintain regular contact with the local police. Lost property which, after having been kept by the muZEEum for six months, has not been reclaimed by its owner are transferred to the local police.
If the owner of the lost property contacts the museum, he/she has the choice of coming to retrieve the property himself/herself or have it sent to him/her cash on delivery. In both cases he/she must produce proper evidence of identity.
The applicability of these Conditions for Visitors does not detract from the applicability of other (contractual) conditions and/or regulations of the muZEEum, if any.
These Conditions for Visitors and the agreement between the visitor and the muZEEum are governed by Dutch law.
All disputes resulting from the agreement between the visitor and the museum will be exclusively submitted to the competent court in [fill in the place of domicile of the museum].
These Conditions for Visitors have been established by the director and registered on January 26th, 2006 under number 22042471 at the Chamber of Commerce Kamer van Koophandel Zeeland at Middelburg.
In the event of dispute and/or argument about claims between the visitor and the muZEEum, the Dutch version of the Conditions for Visitors will exclusively apply.


Yesterday talking about ice being one of the best solutions for swimmer's shoulder, brings up the question of the best way to apply ice.
My sports masseur, Vinny Power, who is just great, told me of his "magic cups" way.
Fill some disposable polystyrene coffee cups with water and freeze. Because they are 'styrene, you can easily tear off a strip and apply it, without it getting too cold to hold or the ice falling out.
Apply the ice directly to the area BUT keep moving it all the time, never stopping in one place or you may burn the skin. I give about 5 minutes per shoulder/upper arm, when I'm icing, until the skin is bright red. It always feels great after.
Polystyrene cups are harder to find these days as they are non-biodegradable, but I recently got 2 packs of 40 in a €2 shop in Clonmel for …€2. Enough to do me for a few years.
I've used paper cups and they are ok also though the ice tends to fall out. Plastic cups are useless. I always keep one cup full in the staff fridge in the pool, just in case.
Ice is also good for lactic acid reduction on days when you are beat. Ice immediately if you think you have strained or overworked a muscle.
Some people like gel packs/frozen peas but you need to protect the skin from them and I don't know if they make the area cold enough. Bio-freeze is good for short term use, about 5 days, no more as it's very hard on the skin. It feels particularly effective right out of the pool, through some weird after-effect of the chlorinated water..


Today we'd like to introduce you to Mahshid Asrari.
Mahshid, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
With a clear vision of how I wanted to practice endodontics, I moved from Wisconsin to Arizona. Dental pain can be excruciating, disrupting every aspect of one's life. As an endodontist, I get to relieve that dental pain and allow patients to get back to what's important in their lives. My philosophy is simple; provide root canals of distinctive quality with unsurpassed comfort.
The rapid growth in Gilbert was just beginning when I arrived. There was still very little development in south Gilbert at the time. There were a lot of dairy farms and alfalfa fields. While driving by an alfalfa field on the Southeast corner of Pecos and Lindsay, I knew where I needed to build my practice. Everyone involved thought I was crazy. An immigrant female investing to build a practice in Gilbert did not seem logical. The demographics didn't fit. The location was too far south. But I knew if I built according to my vision, it would succeed. Every detail was thoughtful and intentional. From design (a calming reception area with Persian columns and rugs) to equipment (surgical microscopes and 3D imaging) everything was fashioned to improve both the quality of treatment and the patient experience.
Although we've seen ample challenges along the way, Asrari Endodontics has continued to grow for the past 12 years. I now have a team of three Board Certified Endodontists (with plans to add a fourth). Although I am pleased to see my vision fulfilled, my most valued memories are when we genuinely touched others' lives. I smile when a patient leaves free from pain for the first time in days. I am quietly satisfied when a patient is so relaxed that he falls asleep during a root canal. I am delighted when a patient is so pleased that she wants to give me a hug. This is what makes being an endodontist so satisfying!
More than I can name. Those who thought I was crazy weren't entirely wrong. From securing lending to construction, people did not always take me seriously. The construction foreman would always ask if he could talk to my husband. Some dentists were unwilling to meet with me. A couple patients even asked when the doctor was coming in! This attitude was and still is, surprising.
Asrari Endodontics – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
Not everyone knows there is a dental specialty dedicated to root canals. But that's what an endodontist is – a root canal specialist. I completed a 2-year residency in endodontics after dental school, earning both a master degree and a specialty certificate in endodontics. I do a lot of root canals, retreatment of root canals that have failed, and surgeries on the tip of the root. Root canals have a bad reputation, I wanted to create an experience that focused on patient comfort to help change that reputation. So I founded Asrari Endodontics in 2004 to provide root canals of Distinctive Quality with Unsurpassed Comfort.
For distinctive quality, I worked to become a Board Certified Endodontist, a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics, a Specialist Member of the American Association of Endodontists, and a Fellow of the Arizona Academy of Endodontics, Although we have a lot of special touches to provide unsurpassed comfort, it really comes down to our culture. "What's best for the patient?" is the reoccurring question. We greet every patient cheerfully and try to make their day better. I am excited to read a patient post on Yelp that he "had a great experience getting a root canal. Who knew that was possible!" We did. That's what we do.
Mentoring others and watching them succeed. Five of my assistants have moved on to become dental hygienists.


Thousands of personal conversations with top executives across Europe show a common red thread that needs to be addressed with increasing urgency: Not only the desire but the absolute necessity to deal with the question of meaning in our current business world - both on a personal, individual level as well as on an overarching, institutional basis.
In too many cases has modern business become a downward spiral, often due to increased cost and performance pressures.
Lots of people in business, from top executives all the way down to regular employees, don't see the sense of it all anymore.
As a result we are not only putting our emotional quality of life, but equally our physical and spiritual health at risk.
Solutions are not always easy to find, since we all have to 'function' in the current system. But suffering and sitting it out clearly isn't a smart solution.
Especially for people who wish to maintain dignity and want to look after their lives. Can the situation be changed? Definitely, Yes!
JRZyla has been able to help executives across Europe in their quest for a better business life. Through books, downloads and seminars he offers a number of actionable, totally new and innovative, solutions. What makes these extraordinary is the fact that he sees through the eyes of a top executive, i.e. with a clear vision of what is realistically doable in the modern business world.
All books and products can be directly purchased at the Management Lounge.
A new cultbook in the field of management; already treated as best seller candidate in England! Witty, humorous and eye opening. A must read book for business people.
The extraordinary pilgrimage of a CEO with his seventeen years old son. A meaningful, touchy, and motivating story (in German).
Based on his business bestseller Dr. Zyla in a witty and humorous way helps to create full awareness of the traps the Devil planted in the modern business world. It shows how intelligence, self-confidence and courage work to help participants escape from those traps.
The Smart-Life intense seminar is unique in Europe. It was created as a response to fascinating questions asked by top-executives about their own life-dynamics, a deep analysis of meaning and the power of self-expression.
In this seminar Dr. Zyla together with Dr. med. Ehrenberger show the largely unknown relationships between health, consciousness and personal management philosophy, and the interrelationship with our individual value systems.

EPL 2022-23: 9 Fun Facts to Know About the Premier League
Josh Dhani August 16, 2022 0
The English Premier League is one of the foremost footballing leagues in the world. It plays host to some of the most iconic players, stadiums, and teams in the world of professional football, and its standard of play is the envy of many countries.
Controversy regarding the Super League aside, the Premier League has many stories to tell; it's a league with a lot of history, and all of that history is utterly fascinating.
With that in mind, here are nine fun facts about the Premier League that you may not have known!
The Fewest Goals Scored at Home in the Premier League: 9
If you're wondering which club holds the record for the least amount of goals scored in their home stadium during a Premier League season, that dubious honor goes to Fulham.
The club scored only nine goals during the 2020-2021 season while at home, which is pretty poor considering that the home stadium is usually where a team performs best. The previous record holders were Man City with 10, which isn't stopping them from achieving dominance.
Premier League legends Glen Johnson and Richard Dunne told Betway that Man City is their pick for the overall 2022-23 season winners. We'll have to see about that!
The Premier League Started in 1992
Of course, there's always been a "top division" in English football, a league where the creme de la creme can congregate and duke it out for dominance. However, the Premier League as we know it today didn't actually come into existence until 1992.
Before that, it was known as Division One, and if you speak to a lot of older folks today, that's probably still how they remember it. Renaming the League helped to create division between top-level football and "the rest," but things are a bit more complicated today.
Only 3 Players Have Scored, Assisted & Scored an Own Goal
There are only three players in Premier League history who have managed to score a goal, score an assist on someone else's goal, and score an own goal in the same game.
Can you guess who they are?
The first is, of course, living legend Wayne Rooney, while the other two are Kevin Davies and Gareth Bale. It must be a rather confusing moment when a player realizes they've done something like that.
Mixed emotions, to say the very least!
The Fewest Goals Conceded in a Season: 15
Chelsea is one of the mightiest teams in the Premier League. They have, of course, had their ups and downs, just like any other team, but by and large, they're one of the major dominant forces in English football.
It's feats like conceding just 15 goals in the 2004-05 season that led to them attaining this fearsome reputation. That legendary team included players like Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, and Ricardo Carvalho, so it's no wonder they performed so well on the pitch.
Only 2 Players Have Scored Penalties With Both Feet
A penalty shoot-out is a truly nerve-wracking experience. Players have to be on the top of their game to overcome the butterflies and manage to score, and it's hard enough to do this with the dominant foot.
However, two players in Premier League history have managed to go the extra mile and score penalties with both feet: Fulham's Bobby Zamora in 2012 and Newcastle's Obafemi Martins. Interestingly, Martins is ambidextrous, while Zamora is left-footed.
Sebastien Bassong Is "Cursed"
What makes a Premier League player "cursed?"
Some would say it's their team losing every time they take the field, while others would define "cursed" as being unable to score goals or constantly conceding penalties.
It's hard to argue with the Sebastien Bassong definition, though, which refers to Premier League player Bassong being relegated six times across his career, many of those relegations being with different teams.
Alan Shearer Is Still the League's Top Scorer
Alan Shearer is a true legend of the sport.
Making his living now as a pundit (and rightfully so, given his level of expertise), Shearer still holds the record for the Premier League's top scorer of all time, having amassed a whopping 260 goals across his Premier League career.
The second highest scorer is Wayne Rooney, which should put paid to anyone who tells you Rooney is "overrated." Even young guns like Harry Kane are making a name for themselves in the top 10 list!
Only 7 Premier League Teams Have Ever Won the Title
Despite the relative diversity of the Premier League table, there are only seven teams that have won the title in history. In alphabetical order, they are Arsenal, Blackburn Rovers, Chelsea, Leicester City, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United.
So far, there have been 30 seasons of the Premier League, and Manchester City has emerged victorious in 13 of those 30 seasons, so it's pretty obvious who rules the roost when it comes to the Premier League.
The Premier League Is the 4th-Richest League in the World
As it stands right now, the English Premier League is the fourth richest league in the world, bringing in a staggering €7.7 billion euros in revenue.
The only three leagues that are richer than the Premier League are the NBA, MLB, and NFL, and since they're all American, it's a pretty impressive achievement that the Premier League has managed to keep up with them.
It just goes to demonstrate how important football is to people around the world!

Scholars Going Public
I've mentioned before here that I'm putting on a conference next month, Beyond the Academy: Engaging Public Life. At lunch today with my good friend Rich Harwood, I started to see even more deeply the import of public scholarship. The term has become a bit of a buzz word in the disciplines, coming to mean disciplinary work that is aimed at developing a different kind of relationship with the public. So it's more than just history or philosophy or "weed science" (as Scott Peters affectionately calls agricultural sciencs), but academic work that tries to engage the public more collaboratively, not top down. This is hard for many academics and well-meaning types to imagine. Certainly, the thinking goes, the great unwashed masses need the wisdom of thoughtful, trained people. But this thinking is, I believe, deeply wrong-headed — and undemocratic, to boot. The task for public scholars is to draw out, elicit, be midwives for public knowledge. They should know what Dewey knew: that the cobbler may know how to fix the shoe, but only the wearer knows where it pinches. This was the impetus for the conference, to describe a kind of scholarship with a more collaborative relationship with the public.
But my conversation with Rich pointed to an additional and perhaps more important meaning of public scholarship. It's not about what the scholar can do with or for the public, but about making one's own scholarly work meaningful. By meaningful it is not so much what the work means for others but that the work is meaningful for others. I would venture to say that all of us — academics, artists, politicians, entrepreneurs, bus drivers, cooks, and lineman — want our endeavors to resonate in a public world with others. If the world is deaf to our efforts, we (and perhaps the world) are so much the worse for it.
We're worse off because the dichotomy between individual and society is a false one. We all become who we are through our interactions with others. There is no distinguishable self apart from the way we individuate ourselves in a social field. The claim, "I am somebody," is not just an assertoric statement; it is a performative one, one that succeeds when others respond, "yes you are somebody." To be fully individuated seems to involve being heeded, felt, acknowledged by others. I think we all want our work to matter. So being a public scholar means being an academic who wants to make a difference in the world, not just for the world's sake, but for one's own. Otherwise we write journal articles for the sake of CV's and the perhaps eight people who read them. We play the finite game of getting ahead, not the infinite game (as James Carse might put it) of making a difference. Publicity is the flip side of alienation.
Beyond the Academy Program Online
We've got a fabulous group of scholars engaged in public life coming to the DC area next month for the Beyond the Academy conference. Check out the program with papers ranging from the university as agitator to walking in the footsteps of Dubois in the black belt and a keynote by Dan Kemmis, author of Community and the Politics of Place. If you want to attend, be sure to register soon while space is still available.
New Date for Beyond the Academy Conference
New Date Beyond the Academy Conference: June 10-11, 2008
The Beyond the Academy Conference is now scheduled for June 10-11, 2008. It will take place on the Arlington Campus of George Mason University, beginning the evening of the 10th and continuing all day on th 11th.
Meeting just outside the nation's capital in the midst of a presidential campaign year, public scholars from across the country will discuss the ways in which their work is more than "academic," how it helps strengthen democratic institutions and public life and can bring about civic change.
To be considered for the program, send a 450-550 word abstract by April 28 to nmcafee@gmu.edu with the subject line "public scholars." Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Reclaiming the civic mission of the university
* The incentive structure of university scholarship
* The self-understanding of scholars and their relationship to the public
* How to be the public's allies in democratic work
* What kind of research does a democratic public need?
* Organic vs. traditional scholarship: How does Milton matter?
* Assessing the engaged campus movement
* Independent scholars, the academy, and the public
* the multiple ways communities, individuals and non-academic institutions contribute to public knowledge (e.g., film festivals, literary festivals, literacy initiatives)
* Advocacy versus Engagement
* Book sessions

Web Description:
This rare Art Deco Pokal is the first example of the work of the Austrian designer Dagobert Peche to enter the Museum's collection. Peche was an important early 20th-century designer who was associated with the Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshops). Eclectic and prolific, he created more than 3,000 designs for ceramics, glass, furniture, sculpture, jewelry, textiles, and wallpaper for the famous Austrian design collective. He also designed interiors. In 1906, Peche enrolled in the Technische Hochschule (Technical College) in Vienna, where he studied architecture, and two years later he continued his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts. He admired Baroque and Rococo painting and decorative arts, and he was greatly inspired by the British illustrator Aubrey Beardsley (1872–1898). After spending a couple of years in Paris, Peche met Josef Hoffmann in Vienna in 1911, and he began to work as a freelance textile designer for the Wiener Werkstätte. His earliest designs were influenced by the simple shapes and geometric decoration favored by the Werkstätte's founders, Hoffmann and Kolomon Moser. After Peche joined the Werkstätte in 1915, his designs became increasingly decorative and visually complex, and he was influential in defining the Austrian Art Deco style. From 1917 to 1919, he was based in Zurich, where he was put in charge of a new branch of the Wiener Werkstätte. Peche returned to Vienna, where he died in 1923, at the age of 36. Although the aim of the Wiener Werkstätte was to provide simple, well-designed objects for everyday use, Peche considered ornament to be essential to the decorative arts, and his designs were known for their originality, exuberance, and playfulness.

Glass of the Architects: Vienna, 1900-1937
Corning Museum of Glass 2018-06-23 through 2019-01-06
Today, we think of architects as people who design buildings, construct skylines, and help create the visual identities of our cities and towns. But at the turn of the 20th century in Europe, the term architect applied not just to people who designed buildings, but to people who designed all aspects of interior decoration. They believed their role was to seamlessly integrate a modern aesthetic into all aspects of daily life. For these architects, furniture, ceramics, textiles, and glass, played an essential role in completing their new artistic vision. Glass of this period emerged from a confluence of ideas, individuals, and cultures, and reflected a spirit of modernity. Glass of the Architects: Vienna, 1900–1937 explores this transformative period in Austrian design. Approximately 170 objects, including the installation of Josef Hoffmann's complete room, Boudoir d'une grande vedette (first displayed at the 1937 Paris World Exhibition), illustrate the immense variety of techniques and varied aesthetics of Austrian glass during this period. Together, architects and designers built upon existing traditions of glassmaking by leveraging the network of design and technical schools, and relying on manufacturers, retailers, and exhibitions to promote and disseminate their ideas on a global scale. Glass of the Architects: Vienna, 1900–1937 is a cooperation of the MAK and LE STANZE DEL VETRO. At the MAK and LE STANZE DEL VETRO, the exhibition was curated by Rainald Franz, MAK Curator, Glass and Ceramics Collection.

Q: Is destroying all Backbone.History.handler routes enough to have a router garbage collected? I am using Backbone.SubRoute to provide a means to create sub-routers on the fly from a master router.
As this provided me with a great way to modularise code I also want to tear down the router when the module is deactivated as there are many modules that create sub routers of their own and want to keep the application as light as possible.
As the routers routes are stored in Backbone.history.handlers I remove these on module deactivation.
/**
To give you an idea what allHandles may look like
RouterCallback instances are module initialisation objects, the router
always calls an activate method on these. The second method: deactivate,
tears it down
*/
allHandles = {
    "subModule1" : RouterCallback,
    "subModule2" : RouterCallback
};

// An example of what baseRoute may equal
baseRoute = "module1";

for (var path in allHandles) {
    var combinedPath = baseRoute + '/' + path;

    Backbone.history.handlers = _.reject(
        Backbone.history.handlers, function(value) {
            return String.prototype.search.call(value.route, combinedPath) !== -1;
        }
    );
}

I then retrieve an array of primary routes that contain only the baseRoute from Backbone.history.handlers and check that there are multiple routes registered, if there are, remove the first as it overrides the second.
var primaryHandlers = _.filter(Backbone.history.handlers, function(value) {
    return String.prototype.search.call(value.route, baseRoute) !== -1;
});

// Deactivate every loaded module in this routers context
_.invoke(allHandles, "deactivate");

// If primary handlers has the parent routers callback as well as this
// then lets remove the first one that overrides the second.
if (primaryHandlers.length > 1) {
    Backbone.history.handlers.splice(
        Backbone.history.handlers.indexOf(primaryHandlers[0]), 1);
}

This works well for removing all trace of the router from the history.
Is this enough to have the router garbage collected? I am running profiles that would suggest it isn't, though running through the source for Backbone.Router and Backbone.SubRoute has not yielded anything that would suggest the router is referenced anywhere other than in the history. Any thoughts?

A recent female from the kennel, Von Hof's Gucci Girl.
Dogue is in the Details
American breeder Dennis Von Hof shares three decades of advice
Dennis von Hof
In the early 1980s, I owned Rottweilers. At the time, Dog World magazine had started introducing rare dog breeds, and in the February 1984 issue, I read about the Dogue de Bordeaux for the first time.
By the mid-'80s, I was interested in finding a suitable working breed, and the rare Molossers piqued my curiosity. I started researching and going to rare-breed dog shows throughout the U.S. My goal was to learn everything I could about the temperament of the different Molossers, and decide which one was right for me.
I visited Mastiff breeder Tobin Jackson's famous Deer Run Kennels. It was an intriguing and heartbreaking experience, a maze of kennels scattered throughout the woods. Though Tobin's primary breed was English Mastiffs (huge English Mastiffs), there were also Neapolitan Mastiffs, Presa Canarios, Dogues de Bordeaux and other "Mastiff-looking" dogs I didn't recognize. Tobin hosted a Molosser show in New Jersey in 1986 that brought in many rare breeds, including Tosas, Cane Corsos, Argentine Dogos, American Bulldogs and Fila Brasileiros.
Von Hof's Elvis.
But the dog that really stood out was a male Dogue de Bordeaux named Cajun of Norris Place, owned by Steve Norris of Norris Place Kennels. "Cajun" had a very intimidating look about him, which immediately caught my attention. Not long after this show, I acquired my first Dogue. Less than a year later, I had her spayed because of poor hips. That is when I made a personal commitment to work toward producing healthier Dogues.
During this time, I also acquired other rare breeds to evaluate and compare them to the Bordeaux. I owned Dogo Argentinos, Tosas, Spanish Mastiffs and American Bulldogs. There was no comparison; because of its temperament and extreme loyalty, the Dogue De Bordeaux stole its way into my heart. (The Dogos would have been my second choice; they were natural athletes, with very few health problems, but their temperament was not as manageable as the Bordeaux's for novice owners. The Dogo also tended to be a little more dog aggressive. And the Spanish Mastiff was too vocal for my liking!)
Logo from the original American parent club, the United States Bordeaux Club.
In July 1989, the Dogue de Bordeaux was featured on the cover of Dog World. This was my first introduction to TNT Kennels, and its owner, Pete Curley. Within a few months, I spent the money I had saved for a down payment on a house to purchase two French imports through Pete. At this time, there were approximately 150 Dogues registered in the United States, and the official club was the United States Bordeaux Club.
(A brief history lesson: The USBC was originally a registry for the very first Dogues coming into the United States. Started by Pete Curley, it was the only registry for many years. As the USBC registry grew, the breeders and owners eventually formed a club. The club was very successful, and continued to grow. Eventually, we had more than 300 members, and more than 2,000 Dogues in the registry. In order to protect the registry, the board members decided to incorporate the club, which put them in charge of the registry and the club. This decision divided the original parent-club members, and gave rise to a new club being formed. After the Dogue de Bordeaux was accepted by the AKC, the USBC's complete original registry was hand-delivered to them, thus achieving the club's ultimate goal.)
My foundation bitch, "Dolce" (Emeraude De La Font De Pepignon), was born on Aug. 27, 1989. Bred by Mr. Mme Robin Jean, her lines went back to the original De Fenelon Kennel. What a sweetheart! She was a very typey, extremely athletic black-mask female. My foundation dog, "Ernest" (registered as simply that – Ernest), a red-mask male, was born on June 19, 1989. He was bred by Mr. Amat Manuel, and his lines go back to De La Berse De Loup Kennel. They were my hiking buddies; some days, we'd leave in the morning, and stay in the woods all day. They both lived to be almost 11 years old.

In those days, Dogue de Bordeaux breeders were an extremely close-knit group. Since everyone was just starting out, we relied a lot on each other. We had one club match per year, which was held at the McCormick Center in downtown Chicago. Normally, we would bring in Raymond Triquet, the father of the breed. If Raymond couldn't make it, we'd bring in one of his comrades. The Dogue chosen at our club match would be celebrated as the champion for that year. We were all friends, and I have a lot of good memories of those years.
The original Bordeaux community was made up mostly of breeders – Phil Pliskin, Charlie Warnick, Richard Mullins, Bonnie Gordon of BIG House Bordeaux, Pete Curley of TNT Kennels, Steve Norris of Norris Place, Joan Cuiffreida of Park Avenue Bordeaux, Madelyn Ark of Ark's Kennels and Rich Keigner of Rich Kennels. Today, it is a more diverse community of pet owners, fanciers and breeders. Out of that list of original breeders, there are only three left: Bonnie Gordon, Joan Cuiffreida and myself.
Von Hof's foundation dog, "Ernest."
One of my early mentors was Pete Curley, the first Dogue importer and owner of TNT Kennels. (He was also the breeder who provided the dogs for "Turner and Hooch," the 1989 film that brought the Dogue de Bordeaux into the American consciousness.) From the late 1980s to the mid-'90s, his Dogues always won the club matches.
Until 1994, my only concern was hips and movement. That year, the club match winner was TNT's Mugsie De Merrimac, bred by Pete Curley and owned by Bonnie Gordon of BIG House Bordeaux. I was totally impressed with TNT's head type. It was time to create my own look, so I contacted Bonnie about using Mugsie. Dogues like Mugsie play an important role in creating the line I have today.
Bonnie introduced me to Joey Aldridge of Blue Blood Kennels, who taught me about line-breeding. In the very early years, because of our limited access to other European Dogues, line-breeding was the only way to produce type. But with this came health problems due to doubling up on certain lines. Type is always important, but in my opinion, health and temperament come first, no matter what. My advice for today's novice breeder would be to find out what's in your lines before you move on to an outcross; with all the new imports coming into the country, we have our work cut out for us!
Above and below: TNT's Mugsie De Merrimac, an influential dog in Von Hof pedigrees.
The Dogues de Bordeaux brought into the country in the early years had extremely large and superb heads. They were taller, with massive fronts, but in general had weak rears. Most of the Dogues were a lighter fawn color. And they tended to be a little more dominant than the Dogues of today. The Dogues of the past were more consistent. The Dogues of today come in any shape, size or color.
The Dogue has been in the United States for more than 30 years. We have some of the best Dogues in the world. But because of the lack of knowledge and harmony among the new breeders, many are relying on imports. It's always necessary to bring in new lines at some point in your breeding program, but right now, we are being overwhelmed with imports. This is why, with a relatively novice group of breeders, it is so important for the senior breeders to speak up, and not be so isolated from the Bordeaux community. Because if we really care about the breed, we will all help each other and make sure we go in the right direction.
Casanova at eight years old.
The United States Bordeaux Club (now defunct) invited world authority Raymond Triquet , among others, to judge its national specialty in 2000, the same year his "Saga" was translated into English. "Casanova" (Von Hof's Casanova), who took first place in Open males, is pictured here with Triquet and Von Hof after the show.
Of all the Dogues I've bred, "Casanova" (Von Hof's Casanova) is my favorite. Cas was the sweetest, gentlest Dogue I've ever known. He was a combination of type, soundness and loyalty. Cas passed away four months before his 11th birthday, but he left his mark on my heart, and I will always miss him. If there is such a thing as reincarnation, Von Hof's Cisco Kid is the modern-day version. Cisco is owned and loved by Tim Kelly and Julie James.
BIG House Montana Du Superb, bred by Bonnie Gordon, is another of my favorite Dogues. "Montana" was a combination of Emeraude De La Font De Pepignon (my foundation bitch), Del Matachin and L'Aube Rouge. Montana placed fourth in Open males at the French Nationals in 2005.
Above and below: BIG House Montana du Superb, bred by Bonnie Gordon.
There are many breeds that have been banned in other countries, as well as here in the United States … my biggest fear is that the Dogue will make it to the dangerous-dog list just because of its popularity.
The best piece of advice I can give to the novice breeder is: Be patient, ask questions, and be open-minded. Learn as much as you can about other Mastiff breeds – the English Mastiff, the Bullmastiff, the Neo. Learn what differentiates them from our breed.

Fluff Piece
No matter what you call them – "fluffies," "hairies" or "rough coats" – long-haired Mastiffs are instant conversation sparkers for those who have never seen one.
Brindle Cane Corsos Live Longer
Color counts when it comes to longevity, according to a study that says brindle Cane Corsos live longer.
Mr. Boerboel, the Middle Man
Among all the Molossers, the Boerboel arguably has the most unfixed type. One way to think of the breed is the middle ground between the Bullmastiff and Dogue de Bordeaux.

According to the Engineer Salary Survey 2018, engineers in the oil and gas sector are the highest paid in the UK, with an average salary of £53,913; followed by engineers in the energy, renewables and nuclear sector, who earn an average of £52,653.
Despite a renewed sense of confidence within the sector, average salaries for engineers in the oil and gas industry have dropped slightly this year, from £54,461 in 2017 to £53,913 in 2018. This could be partly attributed to a drop in the average pay of directors in the sector, who have seen their salaries decrease from £81,805 in 2017, to £66,795 this year, although this may be partly the result of a small sample size. The sector is still the highest paid overall, however, and boasts the highest-paid senior engineers and managers of any industry.
Although the UK's energy mix is changing, salaries in the sector remain relatively stable, at an average of £52,653 in 2018, up slightly from £51,953 in 2017. Just like the previous two surveys, the energy, renewables and nuclear industry remains the second-highest-paid sector, behind oil and gas.
Pay growth in the sector has also gone into reverse this year, with chemical, pharmaceutical and medical engineers earning an average of £50,890 in 2018, compared with £51,750 in 2017. Nevertheless, the sector remains the third-highest-paid industry.
The average salary of those responding to our survey from the sector in 2018 is £48,967, up marginally from 2017 (£48,100), and very close to the average for engineering overall. Both junior engineers and senior engineers and managers working in the automotive sector can also expect to earn salaries close to the overall average for engineers as a whole, at £32,162 and £48,908 respectively.
The average salary in the defence industry is £47,968, up from £46,838 in 2017. Much of this difference is down to an increase in the pay of senior engineers and managers, from £46,954 in 2017 to £47,438 in 2018. Directors in the sector, meanwhile, have seen their average pay drop from £80,853 to £79,857, and junior engineers' pay has dropped from £30,929 to £29,157.
The average salary among aerospace engineers is £47,752, up slightly from £46,362 in 2017. Junior engineers in the sector earn an average of £32,920, up from £29,581 in 2017. Among directors, salaries in the sector have remained relatively static compared to those of last year, with an average of £67,511 in 2018, compared with £67,538 in 2017. Senior engineers and managers, however, have seen their average earnings increase from £48,658 in 2017 to £50,014 in 2018.
The average salary in the sector is £47,130. This is down slightly from £48,318 in 2017, although it is still considerably higher than the average of £39,494 in 2016, suggesting the relatively small sample size may be a factor in causing the figure to fluctuate somewhat between years.
The average salary for engineers in rail, civil and structural is £45,871, the third-lowest sector after telecoms, electronics and utilities and academia, although a slight increase on last year's average of £44,890.
On average, engineers in the sector are earning £44,774, up from £43,809 in 2017 and taking academia off the bottom slot and above the telecoms, electronics and utilities sector.


Legal capacity is the attribute of a person who can acquire new rights, or transfer rights, or assume duties, according to the mere dictates of his own will, as manifested in juristic acts, without any restraint or hindrance arising from his status or legal condition. Ability; qualification; legal power or right. Applied in this sense to the attribute of persons (natural or artificial) growing out of their status or juristic condition, which enables them to perform civil acts; as capacity to hold lands, capacity to devise, etc. Burgett v.

Hope you had a good start to '09.
As we brace ourselves for a lovely new year where we're already informed the number of unemployed is about to near double I'm sitting here reading one of my presents 'Speeches That Changed The World'. Thanks Sue.
The media Cast who invade our homes and sensibilities are an important tool in implementing of Government policy, living in a bubble where they seem to do as they like with little concern to the greater good. Charity appeals seem to have become PR exercises.
As the money dries up there is a clueless appearance as to which approach to take. Christmas sales and Black Friday booze freakery was hyped up beyond recognition in the TV news I saw. Really. Like where's the shoppers, where's the level of yobbery we've become so familiar with. In Cardiff on Black Friday police seemed to outnumber clubbers, and the police aren't exactly overstaffed!
The money in the system hasn't so much dissappeared as been 'removed'. Is it slight of hand fast buck confidence tricksters who've de-stablized the world? Is it an accident? Will the meek inherit the Earth?
So let's be careful out there, Happy New Year!
So it was Edward Stourton's Radio 4 colleagues who told him he was about to be sacked rather than his manipulative bosses. Well that's business as normal for most of our media mogul gods and some other workplaces where bosses see nothing wrong in shoddy behaviour, until inevitably they are on the receiving end.

Closed form solution for dynamic of sustainable tourism
Dell'Era, Mario
Sodini, Mauro
The attention to environmental conditions of the planet drives many scientists to study and to analyze the externalities of the economic activities and their relapses on nature. The issue is quite complex because of the non-linear interactions between human and natural phenomena. Our intention is to study the particular case of tourist activities. Starting from the specification of the concept of sustainable development, using a simple model we characterize the conditions for which there exists an optimal equilibrium between nature and tourism. Then, trough several simulations we study which policies are able to guarantee the better synergies between economy and environmental quality.

Sequence of "Avatar" is for 2017
Filmmaker James Cameron confirmed that the release of the next "Avatar" film should be delayed by at least a year. According to the director of the film, the estimate that the production would be finished by 2016 was very ambitious, since the team is working on the next three films in the series simultaneously.
The delays are due to Cameron himself, who took time to deliver the screenplays for the films precisely because of the decision to record all the episodes at once. It is expected to deliver the itineraries until the end of the month.
Launched in 2009, "Avatar" – the first film shown in 3D – was nominated in nine Oscar categories and won three awards, including the best art direction. The production also boasts the highest grossing title in the history of cinema, earning US $ 2.8 billion. The releases of the next films should happen annually.

This section includes specifications and resources to enable access to the PEPPOL eDelivery Network and to implement the following components: Access Points, gateways which ensure a standard and solid transport mechanism to exchange different types of documents across different communities or countries; Service Metadata Publishers (SMPs), which contain the exact location and the capabilities of participants; Service Metadata Locator (SML), used to add/update/delete the IDs of the participants, and which offers a DNS-based mechanism to discover the SMP where the specific participant data is described.
In the table below you will find the set of specifications that define the implementation of the PEPPOL eDElivery Network. Support for these specifications is mandatory.
The PEPPOL Directory is in use for optional use. All SMP providers are encouraged to push Business Card information of their receivers to the PEPPOL Directory to obtain a higher transparency for all participants in the PEPPOL eDelivery Network.
In a Letter of Understanding (LoU) signed between the European Commission and OpenPEPPOL, the parties agree a plan for the transition from AS2 to AS4 as the message exchange protocol in the PEPPOL profile of CEF eDelivery. The transition is planned to follow three main phases, where AS4 will become mandatory in the PEPPOL profile of CEF eDelivery from Q2 2019, provided that each phase is successfully completed. The parties have agreed on a list of conditions that need to be proven and tested to ensure a safe migration and will take steps to stimulate a market take-up of this migration plan.
The agreed transition includes the introduction of the AS4 protocol in the PEPPOL eDelivery Network for optional use from 2017. In the Pre-Award domain, use of the AS4 message exchange protocol is mandatory due to an agreement made with e-SENS. Currently the OpenPEPPOL AS4 Transition Workgroup is preparing a PEPPOL profile of the CEF/e-SENS AS4 implementation to clearly specify how AS4 is to be used in the PEPPOL eDelivery Network. This new profile will be well aligned with the CEF/e-SENS AS4 profile and based on the experience gained during the e-SENS eTendering pilot.
Transport Infrastructure Agreements (for sample purposes only). You can obtain the appropriate set of agreements from your chosen PEPPOL Authority.
Please see the list of PEPPOL Authorities in the 'Who is who' section of our website for further information at a national level and their representatives to contact for obtaining and signing the PEPPOL Transport Infrastructure Agreements (TIA).
You can sign the TIA with any PEPPOL Authority but we recommend you choose an Authority in the country where your business is registered. Alternatively, if there is no PEPPOL Authority in your country, you could sign the TIA with OpenPEPPOL as the Authority and re-contract at a later date when an Authority is established nationally. In this case, please contact OpenPEPPOL@peppol.eu to obtain the appropriate agreements.
The Directorate-General for Informatics of the European Commission maintains a sample implementation of OpenPEPPOL's eDelivery Network. This implementation aims at providing a generic solution for public administrations to exchange documents in a secure, reliable and trusted way. The CEF e-Delivery solution provides the following components: Access Points, Service Metadata Publishers (SMPs) and Service Metadata Locator (SML).
Oxalis is a PEPPOL sample implementation for Access Points, which is used extensively in the PEPPOL community.

DMC completes hat trick of acquisitions
16th January 2020 Industry, News
DMC has announced the acquisitions of Condor Office Solutions, Systems Technology, and CSL Business Machines
Each of the acquisitions are long established and highly regarded operators – both Condor and Systems Technology are southern based Canon Platinum partners, and CSL is a Konica Minolta Elite partner serving customers across the Midlands.
The DMC group has a clear strategy to consolidate the fragmented MPS sector with high quality acquisitions and create a market-leading managed services provider. Horizon Capital first invested in DMC in July 2018 and since then the group has made five acquisitions, diversified its offering and expanded its geographic reach across England.
The group now supports more than 10,000 customers across the UK and generates revenues of £65m.
In addition to these acquisitions, 2019 saw the group supplement its board with the recruitment of Paul Mitchell as chief operating officer having joined from Experian, and Phil Jan as M&A Director having held multiple roles across acquisitive private equity backed businesses.
DMC CEO, Simon Davey, said: "Condor, Systems Technology and CSL are exceptional businesses and strongly complement our existing group. DMC continues to achieve considerable growth and we look forward to taking the business from strength-to-strength with Horizon's continued investment and support."
Luke Kingston, partner at Horizon Capital, said: "DMC was the first investment made by Horizon and we are delighted with the tremendous progress to date which is a testament to Simon and the team he has built. We will continue to support DMC in supplementing the organic growth of the business with high-quality acquisitions in what is a highly fragmented market."
David Bayles, MD at Condor, said: "We are delighted to be joining forces with the DMC group – they share our customer-first values and passion for awesome service. They are bringing together the very best MPS companies in the UK and the true nationwide coverage can only be of benefit to our customers".
